The Hong Kong Film Award would take place in the middle of next month. Or Wai Lam received a Best Supporting Actor and a Best New Performer nomination. Which opponent did he feel was the favorite? He said that he has found the reasons for every opponent's and his own victory. When Chan Hoi Ning, who has known him for 8 years, was asked who she would support, she awkwardly said, "I really can't chose the New Performer award, because they all are good friends I have known for many years. So I am not answering this question. For Best Actor I personally support Leung Chung Hang. Because a new comer was able to receive this nomination, I am really happy for him." Or Wai Lam just shot a short film with Chan Hoi Ning as a director. Has he planned to direct a feature film? He said that he did not have the guts to think about it. In addition, the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards' major categories Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best New Performer nominees worked on a photo shoot for the program, the photos from which recently have also been unveiled. * (2022/06/28) Director Sammo Hung Kam Bo, Ann Hui On Wa, Patrick Tam Ka Ming, Ringo Lam Lan Tung and Tsui Hark teamed up, each picked an era and directed a story about Hong Kong for the film SEPTET (CHUT YUN LOK DUI). The Tam Ka Ming directed segment TENDER IS THE NIGHT (BIT YEH) took place at the end of the 80s, in the midst of an immigration wave. A secondary school first love couple were forced to part because her parents decided to emigrate and his decided to stay in Hong Kong. Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Ian Gouw (Ng King To) played this young couple that was being broken up. King To and Director Tam reunited 14 years after AFTER THIS, OUR EXILE (FU JI). Back then at the age of 9 Ian swept the Golden Horse Award Best Supporting Actor, the Hong Kong Film Award Best Supporting Actor and Best New Performer. This time Director Tam tested the 2 actors' emotional performance. They both had to express the immaturity of a puppy love couple but also the passion on the eve of parting and reluctance to part. They did not lack intimate performance. Aside from Jennifer wearing only underwear on a roof scene, she and Ian also made out in bed. They even went topless for their last night scene. * (2022/06/28) In the film BURNING (FUN SUN), Dada Chan Jing played a piano teacher who interfered into doctor Kevin Cheng Ka Wing and his wife Rebecca Zhu's marriage. Dada said, "This time I played an obsessed woman. Finally I could play a mental patient. I was able to jump out of the frame and play patient with post traumatic disorder, fear of closed space and paranoia and fear. I actually love Ka Wing to the point of madness, with a destructive tendency, which gave my acting bug its fill!" However she joked that in real life she had not love so "insanely", because she was very sensible with relationships. She absolutely would not love to hurt others! Cheng Ka wing said that he did not have any way to contact Zhu Chenli and Chan Jing because he had no need at all. Has Ka Wing ran into the other half who was this obsessed with him? Ka Wing said, "I really don't want to, this is men's worst nightmare. I don't want it to happen. For a married man with a family and wife and children he really loved, I absolutely wouldn't want this to happen." He pointed out that in the film he did not know whether they had a relationship, because the character got drunk and blacked out. He could not remember it, only that he was in trouble. In real life would this happen? Ka Wing said, "No, when a man blacked out maybe something would happen. 30% consciousness while you were drunk. Since I was unconscious. I would definitely know if I was 2/3 drunk. Since I was unconscious what would happen. It's impossible for me, so it's a con. In the story it probably didn't happen either!" Was the opposite sex off limits to him after marriage? Ka Wing admitted that he had no phone or email contact with Dada and Zhu Lichen. "If necessary I would avoid any misunderstanding, if anything happens we would communicate at work!" What if the other person ask for his number? He felt that this would not be necessary. If they wanted it then something else would happen. Even with being friends he had neither the time nor the interest. "Now my life is all work, sports, remote controlled car racing. The rest of the time I would be with my wife and two sons. So when you ask for my number, if it's work the call would go to my manager. For private use it's unnecessary!" In that phone would he remove all female friends' phone number? Ka Wing said, "Then you wouldn't need to, if you don't want to listen put it on mute until it would stop!" Was his wife Grace Chan Hoi Lam very at ease? Ka Wing joked, "I hope, but I wouldn't tell her to relax. It's my everyday performance, but everyday I am at home. What else would I do?" In BURNING Ka Wing and Dada had no bed scene, but a passionate struggle near the piano and barricade. Ka Wing said that Grace did not come to supervise, but he gave her advanced warning on which passion scenes would be shot. "Although I don't need to talk in discussion, I still have to tell her. If not I would probably be dead!" Speaking of intimate scene, Ka Wing admitted that it was more awkward for me than Dada. "Actors would always be more awkward than actresses, they also want any misunderstanding the least. Because girls wouldn't be thought of as the problem, but if actors have to have some violent behavior, it would lead to many problems. Thus during the shoot we had to be clear. The script only briefly described in text and not specifically say the standard of physical contact. I kept thinking about the visual and the level of standard. In order to achieve good result, after communicating with Dada we began the shoot." Dada said that while working on the intimate scenes Ka Wing was just as serious. He would pay attention to the result visually, so she was very grateful to him. "Actually for this type of scenes not just the girl would be scared, the fear is even to both male and female. So we properly communicate where we couldn't touch. We would try to avoid them. During the performance we would try to coordinate with the character!" Ka wing praised Dada for her professionalism. "She is an actor with a lot of sense. She is sentimental. Without regard for skill she would have unexpected result!" Dada praised Ka Wing and said that she learned a lot from him, because he was able to keep his eyes all over. He was very precise with his intricate expression. Ka Wing humbly said, "I am an 'old hand'! My age really is greater than hers by a lot!" In the film Rebecca Zhu played a kind wife and mother but lured a wolf in. She felt that the reason was she wanted to test whether her husband would cheat. In real life she never wanted to test her boyfriend, mainly because when she dated she would trust the other person 100%. She also felt that her boyfriend's score was earned. Luckily she has not run into any scum. Dada also said that when she was young she was naive. Maybe she would feel her ex boyfriend was scum, but now she would look forward to the future more than looking back at past experience. Chu Chu admitted that she really wanted to play Dada's character this time. She also wanted to play some mentally challenged or characters with mental disorder. In the past she was limited by television standards. She hoped to be able to make the challenge in film. "My standard is very wide, but no one has dared to test where my standard is and discover the dramatic effect that is impossible to happen with Zhu Chenli!" * (2022/06/28) Emperor Motion Pictures TRIAD 3 (JAT JIK 3) recently held its production start ceremony. Emperor Group chief Dr. Albert Yeung Sau Sing personally hosted the event. Producer Ng Kin Hung, Jason Siu Kim Chau and director Ng Ka Wai, leads Bosco Wong Chung Chak, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Niki Chow Lai Kei, Mark Cheng Ho Nam, Michael Tao Dai Yu and others appeared in support. TRIAD 2 (JAT JIK 2) has not opened yet, but the original team created TRIAD 3 was already starting production. The three leads Wong Chung Chak, Chan Ka Lok and Cheung Kai Chung were rather excited. Bosco revealed, "Last time my character was much more powerful, although this time i was still the eldest one of the three, I told the director, he had to give me some flaw so the audience would get a different feeling. Thus the director came up with some pretty funny faults for me!" Ka Lok also said that the characters were very different between the two films. "Last time I was the important figure who made the brothers turn on each other. This time the three are more united, because we have a common enemy we have to take care of!" After a long time away from the big screen, Tao Dai Yu and Cheng Ho Nam this time joined the new film and played a pair of mob brothers. Dai Yu said, "We are like brothers but we also compete in the open and in secret. The characterizations have dimensions and they don't just fight and kiss. They would be very exciting!" Brother Mark said that this type of film represented a unique part of Hong Kong, then he very gladly took the role. "I am very happy, whenever I have roast pork it means a production start worship ceremony. Other places would make this type of arrangement. At my own home the feeling is extra different! Over the years, when I work in Hong Kong I also love roast pork and goose rice. Whenever I have it it means I have a job!" Dai Yu humbly said that he was a rare guest in the film industry. "I just chatted with Mark Gor just now during the ceremony. The last time we worked together was already over 30 years (1991). At the time I was still working on television. Time really passed by very fast!" Brother Mark once released a record. Dai Yu also recently with INVERT EARTH became "Music New Discovery". Would they be interested in singing the theme song for the new film? Dai Yu interrupted and answered, "Save this one for Brother Mark, don't mess with me!" Brother Mark heard and joked that his lips were sealed. "I would zip up my lips!" Dai Yu added, "When I was at the artist training class, I studied magic, Chinese dance, sing a little. I just wanted to try anything, the most important for everyone to be happy!" Brother Mark gave Dai Yu the thumbs up. "Multi-talented!" * (2022/06/28) Celebrating his 60th birthday earlier, Stephen Chow Sing Chi earlier spoke with CCTV reporter Zhu Dan. Sing Yeh talked about his childhood dream. He admitted that because he liked to watch movies, he wanted to become an actor since he was little. Later the movies that he made had a variety of subjects. When asked why his movies had so many Chinese elements, Sing Yeh said, "Because I knew them, I feel this actually is Chinese film's greatest advantage. Actually Chinese history and culture are both very rich, it has too many exciting stories, so we certainly would tell Chinese stories well." Sing Yeh also said that with the 25th anniversary of the hand over, Hong Kong kept changing because it kept having many opportunities and new ideas. However some still remained unchanged. Hong Kong still was an international financial and cultural center. He said, "For me, I am always Chinese. So Hong Kong and the Mainland actually are culturally identical, share the same blood. We would always celebrate July 1st." Sing Yeh recalled that a Mainland director told him, his movies inspired him. He pointed out that his creativity also was inspired by Mainland films. Thus Hong Kong and Mainland filmmakers' relationship has always been mutually supporting and learning from each other. He even expressed, "Hong Kong's young people should utilize the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area's advantage to carry Chinese stories forward. They would be able to enjoy an enormous market as well as motivate the Greater Bay Area's development. I wish Hong Kong's future, under the support of the nation, would continue to maintain the energy of innovation. We would work hard together to create the future." * (2022/06/27) Kimbee Chan Hoi Wan as the Joseph Lau Charity Foundation trustee director attended the film SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE (YUT LO TUNG HUNG) advanced charity screening and enjoyed the film with Ebenezer School and Home for the for the Visually Impaired employees and students. Later they even posed for a group photo. SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE was based on a real story and starred Karena Ng Chin Yu, Kara Wai Ying Hung, Hugo Goh (Ng Toi Yung) and others. Kimbee revealed that the story affected her. "Everyone was moved to tears by many parts of the film! The advanced screening aside from the support of the Ebenezer School headmaster Dr. Yuk Tak Fun also had the film's director and screenwriter Ms. (Judy) Chu Fung Han sharing the story behind the film with the audience after the screening. I hope everyone after watching the film would be able to understand the conditions of the visually impaired people even more, care about them more and extend a helping hand to them!" * (2022/06/27) MC Cheung Tin Fu and Ling Man Lung earlier worked on the Lau Yung directed film ONE NIGHT IN SCHOOL (YEH HAU)'s shoot. The two worked from noon to 2 AM, switching locations from a countryside school and funeral hall to the busy streets of Mongkok and shooting on the Portland Street. MC appeared in a short sleeved shirt, which was very appropriate for his poor but street smart kid design. Although the film has been in production for awhile, MC was very anxious about his first film shoot. Before taking his mark he continued to study the script and practiced his lines, he even made funny expressions like rolling his eyes. However as soon as he heard the director yelled action he got into character and held his own opposite the experienced Siu Lung. The director very quickly accepted the take. The two shot from the streets into a restaurant. MC and Siu Lung seemingly have already cultivated a connection, often chatting and laughing. Although that night the shoot went to 2AM, many MC fans were drawn to the shoot and continued to look on. After the shoot, MC changed and prepared to return home to rest but he still repaid his fans for their support. He signed autographs on the set and responded to every request. * (2022/06/25) Stars DaDa Chan Jing and Rebecca Zhu earlier shot the film BURNING (FUN SUN). For their first collaboration they already had a series of fight scenes. In the film DaDa slammed the piano cover on Chu Chu's fingers. Because she was worried for her co-star's safety, DaDa before the shoot insisted on trying it once on herself. "Chu Chu was very professional. She kept saying no problem, don't worry. I already admire her." Chu Chu said that she has worked on action films before, so she would be more daring. "In one scene DaDa was strangling me. She was afraid that she would squeeze too hard and crush my throat, so often she held back. I told her not to, I needed that feeling." * (2022/06/25) Artists Eddie Cheung Siu Fai, Hubert Wu Hung Kwan and Stephanie Che Yuen Yuen participated in a segment in the film LOOK UP (YUT YEUNG DIK TIN HUNG), the final scene of which had to be shot at sea. That day was cold and windy, but in coordination of the story they had to wear flimsy costumes. Afterward Cheung Siu Fai admitted that during the shoot he already got sick, but to avoid hindering the progress he did not show it. After work he went home to take a hot shower. * (2022/06/25) Michael Tao Dai Yu yesterday attended an event. Recently he has been guest starring in the film TRIAD 3 with Bosco Wong Chung Chak, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Mark Cheng Ho Nam and others. He and Cheng Ho Nam were like brothers but had to fight for the big boss spot. He would have a lot of action scenes and even tough through several all night shoots. "I haven't made a movie in a very long time. The film had fight scenes. The shoot encountered rain and heat, but I still had to work with a mask on. The worst was working at night, we worked all night for several nights. I needed two days of rest to recover afterward." Has he planned to return to work in the Mainland? He revealed that he would not have any plan until after July. He admitted, "Aside from work, I also have to be mentally prepared to return to the Mainland. The 21 day quarantine is very hard to take? (How did you get over them before?) Exercise, binging series and give myself some time to digest." * (2022/06/25) Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Nicholas Tse Ting Fung, Juno Mak Chun Lung, Janice Man Wing Shan, Alex Lam Tak Shun and Tyson Yoshi two nights ago dressed up for a label opening party. Maggie Cheung Man Yuk made a surprise appearance as the special guest. Ting Fung kept his sunglasses on, actually he had an over an inch long scar on the corner of his right eye. Kwok Fu Sing two nights ago after attending the event would still have to return to the set and work on the night shoot for his film NOI MOK (INSIDE INFORMATION). Ting Fung has not attended at a label event in Hong Kong for a long time. With a scar on the corner of his right eye, Ting Fung said that about three weeks ago he shot an action scene for his film CUSTOMS FRONTLINE (HOI GUAN JIN SIN). He had to jump from over 10 meters above and land on the padding below. However on a test jump he forgot to take off his glasses. "When I fell the glasses injured the corner of my eye. In the end it's my carelessness. Luckily nothing happened during the official shot!" With the scar remaining, he said that he would ask the doctor how to remove it. He believed that it would leave a mark. Would a man mind about leaving a scar? Ting Fung said, "This is how it is for action actors, but I don't want to affect future jobs!" He also said that his mother Deborah Li also knew about his injury. However injuries were inevitable while making action films. This time he underestimated the situation and he promised to be more careful from now on. Ting Fung earlier worked on CUSTOMS on the busy city streets topless, showing off his six pack "chocolate". Last night under a shirt his chest remained swollen. Ting Fung immediately sucked in his chest and joked that the shirt was tight. "Earlier we fought a lot for the ending, naturally it was trained. I haven't measured how many inches my chest is, but in the 20s I have been bigger. However this time after a week, the six pack abdominal muscles have already vanished. It's actually too hard. I love to eat, ultimately it's 30% training, 70% eating!" Ting Fung said that in July he would fly to Beijing to prepare for his next film. Was he returning so quickly because he missed people and events in Beijing? (Faye Wong). He said, "Work arranged for me to go to different places, it just keeps changing so I don't know yet!" As for his father, Patrick Tse Yin with TIME (SAT CHOOK GOR WONG) won many Best Actress awards. Was he even more amazing? Ting Fung had nothing but praise. "That's right, very amazing!" Has he celebrated with Sei Gor? He said, "It's just that, I didn't even spend Father's Day with him, but with our family everyday is a holiday!" Did his sons give him any present for Father's Day? He said no comment. * (2022/06/24) Hong Kong veteran stage work and former art director of the Chung Ying Theatre Company Ko Tin Lung passed away at age 69. Ko Tin Lok had a heavy interest in drama while in school. In 1983 he joined the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre as a full time actor, in 1989 he became the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre assistant art director. In 1993 he became the Chung Ying Theatre Company art director, the first Chinese art director of the company. Ko Tin Lung was rich in creativity, directed and created many plays. Among them his collaborations with Raymond To Kwok Wai, I HAVE A DATE WITH SPRING and THE LEGEND OF THE MAD PHOENIX were the most classic, with repeat return engagements and great word of mouth. Ko Tin Lok in 1991 received the Hong Kong Artist of the Year stage director award. He also with I HAVE A TIME WITH SPRING, THE SCHOOL AND I and TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE won stage awards. In 2006 he also received a commendation from the Home Affairs Bureau secretary for his outstanding contribution in promoting culture and art development. * (2022/06/23) In 2007 Wai Ka Fai and Johnnie To Kei Fung directed MAD DETECTIVE (SAM TAM). Wai Ka Fai said that the film had nothing to do with DETECTIVE VS. SLEUTHS (SUN TAM DAI JIN). "MAD DETECTIVE was a movie that was more mild mannered and reserved, with more internal depictions and more literary; DETECTIVE VS. SLEUTHS tries to package the story with action, The characters have no connection at all, even the meaning of DETECTIVE is different. The 2007 MAD DETECTIVE had double meaning, describing Ching Wan as a mad great detective but as a 'little mad' detective; but the DETECTIVE VS. SLEUTHS' detective represented a group that did something illegal, then with torture followed up on some unresolved cases and killed some people." 30 years since the god series THE GREED OF MAN, Wai Ka Fai and Sean Lau Ching have already become a dream team. While writing this script, Director Wai already determined in his mind that Lau Ching Wan would be the first choice of the lead Lee Chun. "As everyone knows, Ching Wan is a very outstanding actor. I really like the way I work with him. He really trusts me, and I also really trust him. On the first day of work, we didn't complete the direction of the entire film at all, we would give some space and try and see how the character would transform. Starting from Fong Chin Pok, to many film characters later, to now we have been the same way!" Ching Wan recalled when Director Wai invited him, he directly agreed. "He wanted to make a story about DETECTIVE VS. SLEUTHS, and asked me if I would do it? Did I want to work with him? I answered, 'sure', that's how it was!" Working together again after over 10 years, Ching Wan felt that Director Wai wanted to cook up an all new film with a different style. "He wanted to make a genre that he has not made before, a very heavy duty action film. In comparison he excels the most in drama. This time we have to climb the mountain and dive into the sea, with explosions and car chases. This subject in his hands would have a different, innovative view!" Ah Sa and Ching Wan worked together on GOOD TIMES, BED TIMES (LUEN SEUNG NEI DIK CHONG), FANTASIA (GWAI MA KONG SEUNG KUK) and other films. Working together again, Ah Sa admitted that she felt drastically different. "Earlier collaborations with Ching Wan were all comedies, very different from this time. Before maybe I was younger, I didn't have much to talk about with Ching Wan. Maybe he felt that I was a little slow. However this time the entire film was very intense, basically every scene was very intense. It was either car chases or building jumps, if not buildings then jumping into the sea. All were like extreme sports. Thus the feeling became everyone was in the same boat! Working with Ching Wan was very comfortable. He gave me a lot of encouragement. For each scene everyone would communicate very clearly because the shoot, because they had many dangerous stunts in them." In the film Lam Fung played Ah Sa's husband. Ah Sa revealed, "I was more familiar with Ah Fung. Before shooting this scene we just finished a 4 month long television series production. Thus basically we were able to finish my scenes with him very quickly, because we were very certain about each other's work format; he of course was very charming, Ching Wan aged like fine wine. Of course she was not calling him old, he had many acting experience. In addition he truly could play anything. In each scene he would have different changes in his interpretation. Thus I must focus to handle him!" Lam Fung agreed, saying that Ah Sa as a good partner in his show business career. Because they have known each other for a long time, he understood her very well. As soon as they took their marks they naturally had chemistry. However this time for them was a huge challenge. Aside from trying this type of characters for the first time, he also worked with Ah Sa and Ching Wan. He looked forward to it very much and was honored. Ching Wan was the actor many actors would like to work with. Lam Fung was no exception. "Before the shoot began, Brother Ching Wan already kept 'pocketing things' (advise) for me, because it was my first time with this type of roles, I was very excited inside. However more or less I was very nervous. In addition I have never worked with Director Wai. I didn't know about his production methods or how he wanted the actors to grasp the roles. Ching Wan however told me, 'No need to think too much, as long as whatever the director says, you do then you would be fine!" When she ran into director Wai during the official shoot, he was a very tempered person, very friendly and strong. Thus I was able o focus on the character very quickly." * (2022/06/23) The film BURNING (FUN SUN) last night held a premiere. Actors Kevin Cheng Ka wing, Dada Chan Jing, Rebecca Zhu and Helena Law Lan attended. Cheng Ka wing's wife Grace Chan Ho Lam would celebrate her 31st birthday today. Last night because she had to care for their sons at home she did not attend the premiere, but as in previous years they would celebrate as a couple at a hotel. This would be the seventh year already. Speaking of Grace's twin brother Derek's latest photo with their father led to online controversy, as Joseph Lam Chok offered HK$ 1 million for Derek to take a DNA test with his father. Chai Hoi Lam's sister Joyce responded on social media. "Mr. Lam, wouldn't 1 million be too little?" Lam also prepared to ask his mother to add to the offer. Would this incident ruin his mood to celebrate with his wife? Ka Wing replied, "The mood of those involved wasn't ruined, why would my mood be affect?" How did Grace and Derek feel? He said, "As far as I know everything is normal!" Speaking of big sister Joyce joking about Lam's 1 million offer being too little and Lam would ask his mother to add to it, Ka Wing said, "This is all personal perspective. I feel everyone is clear about what the goal is. It's nonsense. Not responding is the best response. I would say the same time if you ask me 100 times, if I keep answering and you keep asking he would just keep going. Why not put an end to it?" Did Lam Chok causing trouble upset him? He said that everyone had their own perspective, the most important was that he would be able to happily eat. As for the birthday gift for his wife, Ka Wing joked, "It's a secret. I am not a romantic person, it wouldn't be a surprise. I don't need to surprise my wife either, as I am afraid of scaring her more than pleasing her. We are very solid. When she needs a computer I would give her one. It doesn't have to wait for birthdays." Would he try for another child on the birthday? He said, "Is that related? Let's have fun first on the birthday, once a year isn't good. I don't have to wait until the birthday to have fun. As for having a baby next time you ask my wife, it's not my call." Would he watch the movie to celebrate, as in it he and Chan Jing had many exciting passion scenes. Ka wing said, "Don't dig a hole for me to step into, she probably would watch it. If I watch it with her I can hold her back!" Chan Jing said that she invited many couple friends to this premiere, because this time was like teaching material. She was the bad example while Rebecca Zhu was the good one. The audience would be able to consider and the next generation would be warned about interpersonal relationships. In the film Chu Chu and Dada had a fight scene. Chu Chu joked that Dada strangled her, Dada also said that Chu Chu with her dance background fought very well, but the most exciting was their 'bed sharing' scene with Ka Wing." * (2022/06/23) Irene Wan Bik Ha, Christine Ng Wing Mei and others yesterday attended their friend Christy Wo Hei man's wrist watch exhibit. Speaking of work, Irene said that this year has been a full harvest. She revealed that at the end of the year she would begin work on MEI YUN YU (MERMAID). Irene revealed that because she almost drowned to death in childhood, she still had trauma and did not know how to swim. Thus, special effect would be used to coordinate with the under water scenes. She would use a double for swimming. She said, "The lead actor has been chosen, but for now could not be announced yet. The film would have a lot of emotional scenes, in the past I very rarely worked on this type of dark humor subject." * (2022/06/23) Selected as one of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces for 5 years in a row, Malaysian artist Yumi Wong Sze Kei last year officially signed with Louis Koo Tin Lok's company to invade the Hong Kong market. Yumi said that she arrived in Hong Kong in May and would put more time into the Hong Kong market. In Hong Kong she would participate in different film auditions. She would take part in movies, but for now she would not be able to announce the details. As for the role in the film, she revealed that she would have fight scenes and she was looking forward to them. She said, "This character would be very challenging. I would personally perform the stunts and not use a double. (How would you prepare for them?) I have studied kung fu, in addition I have always liked to exercise. Every week I would exercise on four to five days. I am confident in my physical abilities." She continued, "At first because I was selected as one of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces people knew me. I hope through my hard work and substance to keep making breakthroughs and shatter the 'flower vase' label." [ In Production Now/Soon ] TRIAD 3 Can : Jat Jik 3 d.

[ THE FILM CATALOGUE ] Adapted from the award-winning Hong Kong cult manga series "City of Darkness", this action thriller is set in the eighties inside the dangerous and enigmatic Kowloon Walled City which was a de jure Chinese enclave within British colonial Hong Kong.

Happy Hour is a slow-burning epic chronicling the emotional journey of four thirtysomething women in the misty seaside city of Kobe. As they navigate the unsteady currents of their work, domestic, and romantic lives a sudden, unexpected rift opens between that propels each to a new, richer understanding of life and love. Ryusuke Hamaguchi's wise, precisely observed, compulsively watchable drama of friendship and midlife awakening runs over five hours, yet the leisurely duration is not an indulgence but a strategy to create a novelistic space for everyday moments to become charged with possibility that yields a subtle emotional intensity rarely possible in a standard-length film.

It is a spectacularly complex and fiercely poetic rendering of the details of daily life in which ideas and feelings are swayed by the unseen forces of friendship and love and buffeted by the weight of deception, loyalty and tradition.

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.
