MISCELLANEOUS * (2022/06/01) Moses Chan Ho, Ron Ng Cheuk Hei, Adam Pak Tin Nam, Kenny Wong Tak Bun and others two nights ago attended their film BREAKOUT BROTHERS 3 (TOH YUK HING DAI 3) premiere, but Chan Ho had a cartoon bandage on the back of his right hand. He smiled and said, "When my daughter closed the car door for me, she closed it too soon and hurt me. I saw how guilty she felt. She almost wanted to cry, and immediately brought me a band aid for the wound. I told her that I had to shower and clean the wound before I could treat it. My daughter then waited all night before being able to put the band aid on me. It also is a band aid of love, the sweetness of which reached my heart. When I said her was about to cry I comforted her and said, 'Papa is fine'. (The daughter takes more to you?) Everyone does, all three have different personalities but they all are my angels." Highly conscious of pandemic prevention, Chan Ho has never been without a mask. Earlier Roger Kwok Chun On pulled down his mask by force, which the internet blasted as impolite. Chan Ho said, "Don't yell at him. It was a friendly gesture from him, it was no ill intent. We became friends while working on BIG WHITE DUEL II. No one wore a mask during the interview, he didn't want to me to wear a mask in front of the audience. It's very minor. On Jai and I are good friends, that moment was only a little sudden. It wasn't awkward at all. If I minded at the time I would immediately put the mask back on." As the pandemic eased, Chan Ho that night also removed his mask for media photos. However he maintained social distance. At home he still would wear a mask to sleep. Ultimately he felt that at work he would come in contact with many people, safety came first. Chan Ho in BREAKOUT played a prison warrant. Without any action scene, the role was more comfortable. He also forgot how long ago was his previous movie. He said, "Prison film is a classic Hong Kong subject, which reminded me of (Roy) Cheung Yiu Yeung. The one I played was different, a mild mannered and straight laced prison warrant. I hope it would make a special impression to everyone." Ng Cheuk Hei and Pak Tin Nam spoke to the media together. Ng Cheuk Hei said that the BREAKOUT 3 tightly followed the sequel's release because the fifth wave of the pandemic delayed the sequel release. The third film was released as scheduled so the release dates were closer. It also enabled viewers to watch them all at once. Ng Cheuk Hei had more fight scenes with Wong Cheung Hing, instead he had no fight scene with Pak Tin Nam. He joked, "I like to fight with good fighters, perhaps they are afraid I would kill him?" Pak Tin Nam praised Ng Cheuk Hei for his professional fighting. "In one scene he punched me, I felt very comfortable as all I felt was a breeze. I asked him to really hit, but he said that not every punch had to land. As long as we got the feeling and the reaction then we were fine." Ng Cheuk Hei said that it was only a movie, he would try not to hurt others if possibly. However he has accidentally injured his co-stars. He also felt that punches and kicks were easier to control, but weapons were harder to grasp. Speaking of TVB, ViuTV and Hong Kong Open Television all releasing major series at the same time and starting a television close combat battle, Ng Cheuk Hei felt that it was a good thing. The audience has been bored for too long. He recalled THE BUND's hit series era as it became the water cooler talk for viewers. Which side would he support? He said, "I would support the entire show business, television and film industries, because a movie or a series need hard work from many people to be able to be created." With a role in the ViuTV series INEVITABLE, was Pak Tin Nam confident about "winning in the end"?" He said, "Many people participated and performed, even if I wasn't confident in myself, I had confidence in other actors and directors. So the confidence would come from them." * (2022/05/31) MIRROR's Anson Kong just finished his television series. Aside from preparing to his group's concert in July, recently he also announced that he took a movie role. He would work on the Hong Kong horror film BACK HOME (CHUT YUET FAN GWAI) with Chinese American star Bai Ling! The film would be new director Tse Ka Kei's first feature film. Last year it was selected for Udine Far East Film Festival Focus Asia section. * (2022/05/31) Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Cya Liu two nights ago appeared at Central's Pier 9, the open space opposite the ferris wheel to shoot the Herman Yau Lai To directed action production HOI GUAN JIN SIN (CUSTOMS FRONT LINE). Due to the scale of the production, police vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances and customs vehicles were on hand with over 100 extras. In the story Ting Fung in order to catch the culprit suffered a back injury. He took off his shirt for emergency medical treatment and showed off his perfect physique. * (2022/05/30) The Mak Ho Bong directed, Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Ron Ng Cheuk Hei, Justin Cheung Kin Sing, Adam Pak Tin Nam, Kenny Wong Tak Bun starred BREAKOUT BROTHERS 3 (TOH YUK HIN DAI 3) will open June 3rd at Hong Kong cinemas! On this final installment's poster the 6 leads were tangled into a pile, which meant that this time the prison would be a mess! In the already released trailer aside from the released in the previous installment Louis Cheung Kai Chung who would return as a guest star, the most surprising new character on the poster and in the trailer had to be the Moses Chan Ho played new prison warrant Ma Man Ho! Since BREAKOUT BROTHERS 2 added Ng Cheuk Hei, the third and final installment of course would add more actor of caliber. Chan Ho would play the new prison warrant Ma Man Ho to manage this troubled prison! In the trailer Chan Ho had many confrontational scenes with prison boss Roller portrayer Brother Tam, Scar actor Cheung Kin Sing and former prison warrant Wong Tak Bun in an intense atmosphere, which made viewers look forward to this team very much! Chan Ho was very excited about this special performance in BREAKOUT BROTHERS 3. "This time I am very honored to be able to participate. Prison films have an enduring history in Hong Kong films. Playing a prison warrant would be a first for me. The character's personality is close to mine, so the interpretation wouldn't be too hard to grasp. I only hope that I would be able to bring some freshness to the film!" He was very happy to be able to work with Wong Tak Bun again on the silver screen. "The last time I worked with Tak Bun was already awhile ago. Although it has been awhile, when we took our marks the old colleague chemistry naturally was on full display. So I really am happy about being able to work with former co-star again." From BREAKOUT BROTHERS to the final installment BREAKOUT BROTHERS 3, the entire series span two years. As the lead Brother Tam Tam Yiu Man was reluctant to part. "I am the happiest about making this series is meeting a group of good brothers on and off camera, whether they were the director, the producer or the cast. In addition we really liked our characters, so we put a lot of effort into this film series." BREAKOUT BROTHERS was a Hong Kong film series that was a rarity in recent years. Brother Tam felt very grateful that many people liked this series. "The prison subject in Hong Kong film is an enduring subject, this time again adds new elements to the prison subject and being able to make a film trilogy series have not been easy at all!" The pandemic could be said as keeping company with the two year productions. To be able to make a film trilogy under the pandemic, Brother Tam admitted that it felt very valuable. "Although they took place under the pandemic, each installment still worked hard so everyone would have different freshness. For example the second installment added Cheuk Hei and this installment we even have Chan Ho, adding a lot of color to this series. We also hope that everyone would be able to support this final chapter even more." Ng Cheuk Hei joined BREAKOUT BROTHERS 2 as the villain Ho Chun. In this installment he became a real prisoner, but he still had his mind on escape. In the trailer he attempted to get Tak Bun to join the escape and had many fight scenes. Cheuk Hei joked that his character originally was a promising young man who was in prison for bribery, but also had to be able to fight. "I am very happy to perform in BREAKOUT BROTHERS 3, this time I no longer am the main villain but still have a series of fight scenes. The production has been very hard but the results have been great. I hope everyone would like it after seeing it!" * (2022/05/29) Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Edan Lui Cheuk On and others yesterday attended the film CHILLI LAUGH STORY (HOP GA LAT)'s tram parade launch ceremony and attracted over a thousand fans. During the parade, they often waved to the pedestrians. When other trams passed by them, their passengers waved to them. Some fans even jaywalked and forced their way onto the streets to take photos. Originally the tram parade would end at Causeway Bay, but due to the numerous onlookers, in the end the event changed the final stop to be the Happy Valley terminal. Yesterday Kwan Yu's husband Peter Chan Ho Sun also brought their daughter to show their support. The police were on hand for the road blocks and keeping order. When the tram left the garage, fans shrieked. Due to the fifth wave of the pandemic, CHILLI LAUGH STORY went to the Lunar New Year to the summer vacation slot. Kwan Yu said that she was very happy that the film would finally be released. She never imagined that the world would be this crazy. She joked that after decades of making Lunar New Year films, this would be the first to be released in the summer. Although the summer would be full of blockbusters, Kwan Yu pointed out that the strongest would be CHILLI. "We have Chung Kei and Edan, how can we lose. (How much would you predict it would make?) Several hundred million, if it would be a big hit I would treat everyone to a trip to Japan! This was a pure Hong Kong film, with government assistance. Many people gave discounts on their salaries." Cheng Chung Kei joked that he made the most, so he was confident that CHILLI would make a lot. Earlier due to the pandemic summer vacation started early. Kwan Yu revealed that their family of three went to Thailand to visit family and vacation for two months. They took a chance to relax. Chung Kei also hoped that he would be able to take his family of four to Japan for a vacation, but he would not want to go with a tour. "I went with a tour before, I couldn't get up. It felt like I was b being dragged around." He also said that after finishing his new film OVER MY DEAD BODY (SEI SI SEI SI SEI SUP SEI) he would prepare for his year end Taiwan concert. First he would need to lose the belly then train his muscles. Edan said that he has not attended a public event in a very long time. Originally he worried about rain, but luckily they had a good start. He also said that after finishing his new film he would prepare for the MIRROR concert in July. He even revealed that Kwan Yu asked for 100 concert tickets, but he did not know how much he would get yet. Kwan Yu said that she knew Edan and Jer (Lau Ying Ting) of MIRROR's 12 members. If each got her 100 tickets she would have 200. She even pointed out that she has already joined the official fan club and joked that she would become the big MIRROR concert ticket client. * (2022/05/26) The film DON'T FORGET I LOVE YOU two nights ago held its Hong Kong premiere. Although due to the pandemic the leads were unable to come and promote in Hong Kong, investor Daneil Lam Siu Ming, director Barbara Wong Chun Chun attended as well as artist friends like Stephanie Cheng Yung, Shiga Lin, Alex Lam Tak Shun, Adam Pak Tin Nam and Pierre Ngo Ka Nin. Shiga Lin admitted that she really liked Jasper Liu and even joined the star chasers. Not only did she pay attention to her idol's whereabouts, once because she learned that he was staying at the same hotel she got very excited and went to go over and pretend to "run into" him. Lam Tak Shun came to support director Wong Chun Chun. He was invited to attend the premiere due to his father George Lam Chi Cheung he and the director have known each other. Lam Tak Shun said that he only found out many friends also came after arriving. Now that food was permitted at the movies, he also bought a big bag of popcorn to enjoy. Lam Tak Shun early in the year worked on a film that would commemorate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong Hand Over, LOOK UP (YUT YEUNG DIK TING HUNG). It would open on June 23th. His segment in the film recorded 4 songs, which have already been released and could be heard over the past few days. Among them was his Cantonese Opera Hip Hop duet with Michelle Yim (Mai Suet). He praised Sister Mai Suet for her precise performance. The song's mixture of Chinese and Western styles was very refreshing. * (2022/05/26) The Dennis Law Sau Yiu directed and written, actors Eddie Cheung Siu Fai, Dada Chan Jing, Timmy Hung Tin Ming, Simon Yam Tat Wa, Maggie Siu Mei Kei, Lam Suet, Tony Ho Wa Chiu, Cheung Tat Wa and others starred suspense film THE MURDER ERASED (BEI SIU SUK DIK HUNG ONG) would open on June 16th. In the film a building renovation uncovered human remains that have been buried for eight years. The police proceeded to investigate this case. Tin Ming in the film played a rheumatoid arthritis patient, thus before the production began director Law Sau Yiu brought the team to meet with a rheumatoid arthritis patient group and hoped to be able to bring about the actual conditions during the production. During the exchange, Tin Ming got an understanding of the inconvenience the patients' joint problems have brought, like having to use the center of the palm to carry heavy items, requiring arm support while dining with utensils and even learning how to fold kites; Dada in the film had to care for Tin Ming, so that day she also was on hand to learn about and studied what care takers would need to pay attention to. She and Tin Ming off camera cared very much about their roles and finally displayed how involved and professional they have been with acting. * (2022/05/26) Aaron Kwok Fu Sing's manager Siu Mei (Leung Mei Mei)'s father Leung Kwai Wing past away on April 26th. His family began services for him yesterday at the Hong Kong Funeral Parlor with a Taoist ceremony. Today after the funeral the remains would be transported to the Cape Collinson Crematorium. Yesterday those paying their respect included Kwok Fu Sing, Emperor boss Albert Yeung Sau Sing, TVB executive Ho Lai Chuen and his wife, choreographer Sunny Wong. Many in the industry also sent floral arrangements, including Mr. and Mrs. Leo Ku Kui Ke, Mr. and Mrs. Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Mr. and Mrs. Shum Ka Wai, Charlie Yeung Choi Nei, Irene Wan Bik Ha, Vivian Lai Shui Yan, directors Teddy Chan Tak Sum and Soi Cheang Pou Soi. Siu Mei and her family were on hand early at the altar. Dressed in black Siu Mei later went downstairs for interviews. With red eyes and tissue in hand she was sorrowful, holding back her tears as she said that due to the pandemic the funeral could not be a big event. However they were still doing Taoist ceremonies, something for Papa. She revealed that Papa played a very important role in the promotion of basketball. She still missed Papa since his passing and also praised how great he was. Siu Mei said, "Papa with Heaven, Earth and People would have been 100, a century of life was very glorious. When Papa passed he was very peaceful, like he was in deep sleep. However this time Papa's passing was somewhat sudden, mainly it was from elderly deterioration. Last month on the 25th, Papa suddenly was unconscious and we panicked. We immediately rushed him to the emergency room. When we arrived (at the hospital his condition) was already not too ideal. As children of course we hoped that Papa would improve, but after treatment, at night we received a call from the hospital that Papa's condition wasn't ideal. The family rushed to the hospital and all three sisters were able to see Papa off on his final journey, until Papa's final second." Did her father have any wish to fulfill? Siu Mei said, "He achieved them, Papa told me to live hard, I have worked very hard in this aspect. Papa also was able to see Older sister's children graduate from universities, so he went very peaceful. Canada's grandchildren and relatives, after numerous miles and obstacles, after finishing their quarantine were able to attend the funeral." Around 6:50 PM, Kwok Fu Sing and his wife Moka Fang arrived in a vehicle with another with his daughters, his mother in law and a domestic assistant following tightly. In a black suit Sing Sing did not stop after arriving and looked solemn. Originally Moka Fang wanted to pick up their daughters after getting off the vehicle, but due to the chaotic scene Sing Sing immediately walked up to protect his family. The domestic assistant carried the older daughter while Grandpa carried the younger one. The party under the escort of six staff members' protection went straight to first floor. Sing Sing later spoke to the media. He said that Siu Mei's Papa watched him grew up. Normally he would call him "Uncle Leung". As everyone knew Uncle Leung was well respected in the basketball world. He also recalled that on holidays he would go and dine at Uncle Leung's home. Each time he saw him he would feel very intimate, gentle and warm, always full of smiles for the younger generations. Sing Sing also revealed that today he would attend the funeral and be one of the pallbearers. [ In Production Now/Soon ] BACK HOME Can : Chut Yuet Fan Gwai Lit : July Return d.

Opening April 28 2022 at the Udine Far East Film Festival Site : https://www.fareastfilm.com/eng/film/legendary-in-action/?IDLYT=7505 [ UDINE FAR EAST FILM FESTIVAL ] Bill "Tiger" Cheung is a Hong Kong film director who suffered an immense career comedown. Years ago he’d won a best director trophy at the Bucheon film fest in Korea and he was riding high with promise. But an early feature flopped at the box office, investors lost interest and he became mired in shooting crummy shorts. When the chance comes to make a wuxia film for a dodgy backer, he leaps at the opportunity and gives it a shot – not for financial gain, but for deeply personal reasons. As a child, Cheung had been enthralled by the martial arts TV series Seven-Star Sword. Yet his memories of the show were soured by its sudden turn in the 30th and final episode. Star Master Dragon had been booted out for that instalment and now, decades later, Cheung still feels the show is incomplete. Studio space is booked for a remake, and through chance encounters Cheung stumbles into hiring the now elderly Master Dragon as lead actor and a beer girl without acting experience as co-star. As the production moves from minor farce to the risk of failure, and with Cheung's devotion to the film causing marital strife at home, the director must work miracles to make everything come together.
