MISCELLANEOUS * (2022/09/21) Chow Kwok Chung in the film industry has been called the "Golden Scissors" and worked as many film directors' official editor, completely because he was magnanimous enough to never "argue" with directors. When several tens of thousands of feet of film arrived in front of him, he would always take it as it came. After his 40 years of editing career, he also spent 11 years in retirement. Looking back, he had both joy and regret. Originally a film printing company heir, Chow Kwok Chung due to the 67 riot got his opportunity to become a film editor. He never expected that he would not stop until he retired. In 1970 he edited the black and white film SUPER-COPS VS. THE LEOPARD for the first time, three or four years later he finally officially began his editor job. Chow Kwok Chung tried to learn to become a cinematographer, but he could not stand the pain of working outdoors under the sun or in the rain. So he decided to switch to film editing; in 1980 he joined the Cinema City editing team. At his peak he at least had 5 movies waiting for him to edit at the same time. He said, "At the time I even had to rush for the release date, I edited as the director shot. It was very tough, for editing I didn't go home for ten days and nights. The company didn't have a bed, when I really couldn't stand it anymore I could only sit on Maka's office chair to rest." Chow Kwok Chung has blades all over and every one of them is sharp, he had his hands on recording studio, subtitle, color film printing. He has also been a film executive producer, producer, planner, distributor post production and other positions. He said that his family complained a little, but at the time he did not get to choose. He had to make a living for his wife and children. He said, "Unless I left this circle, but I still had to eat . All 6 children are all grown, most already have their own families; before I wanted to care but I didn't have the time to, now even I wanted to I don't get to. However none of the children are interested in the film industry." Countless directors have worked with Chow Kwok Chung, both war buddies and old friends. He said, "Almost all of (Raymond) Wong Pak Ming, Lau Kar Leung, Lau Kar wing's movies wanted me to edit, (Ringo) Lam Lan Tung, (Clifton) Ko Chi Sum, (Karl) Maka even had to have me edit." Speaking of highly demanding, he admitted, "Tsui Hark and Lam Lan Tung are so demanding that they would make your head spin, but Tsui Hark knows film editing. Sometimes after watching the film I edited, he wouldn't be too pleased. So he would make a few cuts himself. He's pretty interesting." He said that Tsui Hark was also the most "heavy handed" director, on par with John Woo (Ng Yu Sum). "He has any and all shots, without any differentiation. You have to have great memory. Sometimes I was covered with film all over from editing." Chow Kwok Chung watched his junior colleague Ko Chi Sum on his journey to directing. When Ko sees him now he still respectively calls him his benefactor. He said, "However I don't dare to respond, only because early in Cinema City he was a screenwriter. He wrote a script called HAPPY GHOST (HOI SUM GWAI). Wong Pak Ming then made him to direct it and he then became a director; Wong Pak Ming also asked me to edit the film for him. He only advised him on what shots he didn't have enough of." One would think that no movie could stump this pair of "golden scissors", but an Anita Mui Yim Fong starred musical film stumped Chow Kwok Chung. He said, "A musical was more memorable, because I have never edited it it really was a test. It was the Mui Yim Fong and Russell Wong starred THE MUSICAL SINGER (GOR MO SING PING). The dance scene alone took 3 days to edit, and everyone the song from this scene had to be played. It forced other editors to listen to it everyday." Movies that ended up in Chow Kwok Chung's hands were all superstar starred. He said that aside from being busy with editing, he did not forget to enjoy the actors' acting in the film. He said, "Nothing more need to be said about Fat Gor (Chow Yun Fat), (Leslie) Cheung Kwok Wing, (Dean) Shek Tin and (George) Lam Chi Cheung's acting is pretty good too." Speaking of Chow Gor, the Chow Kwok Chung edited 1987 hit film CITY ON FIRE (LUNG FU FUNG WON) had to be mentioned. He described the film as absolutely the movie he was the most satisfied with in his career, but something that would be unforgettable for him happened as well. He said, "The movie is very entertaining, the actors also performed very well. The most memorable was that I edited this film, but my name wasn't on the credit because editing sent the wrong person's name (Wong Ming Lam). Since the posters were printed already, I couldn't change it so I let it go! In the end the film won the Asia Pacific Film Festival Best Editing Award. The company knew the reason behind it so it asked me to go to Taiwan to accept the award. It was very awkward, everyone said that I won the Asia Pacific Film Festival Best Editing, but it wasn't my name. Actually Lam Lan Tung wouldn't let someone else edit his film, I had to be the one who edited it." Full of Hong Kong Film Awards, Golden Horse Awards and Asia Pacific Film Festival Awards at home, this year he even added a Hong Kong Film Award Professional Spirit Award. As for colleagues dubbing him the "Golden Scissor", Chow Kwok Chung humbly said, "Everyone is just being gracious. Actually I only edit films with scissors, I use a cutter." Editors in the past has always been passed on through the "master disciple" system, but he has never officially had any master. He only relied on keeping asking elders and learned as he worked, until he became an editor who could hold his own. He also did not mind helping the younger generations. He sad, "I have never had any disciple either, if you are interested you can ask me to teach you. Don't ever call me Master though, I don't have a knack for that." After 40 years as an editor, did he have any editing secret that he would share with the younger generations? He thought for awhile and said, "Editing is written in stone, you have to learn on the job no matter how long you have worked. No one could hold your hands and teach you, you have to experience it yourself. When the directors shoots a pile of material for you, you have to rely on your imagination to edit it. It also relies on talent and hard work." * (2022/09/21) The new director Judy Chu Fung Han wrote and made the story of her family into the film SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE (YUT LO TUNG HUNG). Best Actress Kara Wai Ying Hung and veteran actor Hugo Goh (Ng Toi Yung) played blind parents, Karena Ng Chin Yu played their daughter. They made the life story that has been rarely seen in Hong Kong film, about handicapped parents and healthy children. SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE opened in Hong Kong last Thursday. In the past weekend, director Chu Fung Han attended her first audience appreciation event since the release. Facing the ticket buying viewers for the first time after the release, Director Judy joked that she truly was a little nervous. However after each screening when she was introduced and the viewers learned that film was her story, they would immediately applaud and cheer. They made her very excited and happy. "To be able to have the chance to make the story I want to make is already a dream come true! Each time after the screening when I see the viewers using real money to buy tickets and watch my movie, I am even more touched. I hope SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE would be able to bring the audience the 'therapeutic" purpose." She shared with the audience that 80% of the story in the film were based on facts, only a few scenes were added in for dramatic effect. However she would like to make he story of her parents' perseverance the most. She also hoped that everyone after watching would hug their family, because family was the most valuable. After each screening many viewers had questions. Everyone was very curious how much of the story was true. Many also thanked Director Judy for making this story. Someone even after watching the advanced screening bought ticket to watch again this time! Director Judy after hearing everyone's thoughts was very grateful, and hoped that everyone would be able to continue different Hong Kong films. "Recently everyone say that they want to support Hong Kong film. I of course look forward to SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE to be able to get even more shows, I also hope that everyone after watching would be able to help and recommend it to those around them. Movies really need word of mouth, for investors or bosses to have even more confidence to invest different types of Hong Kong films in the future so Hong Kong film would be in full bloom. I wish SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE would be able to get everyone's support!" * (2022/09/21) TALES FROM THE OCCULT (SUT HUNG HUNG GAN) has won many good reviews since its advanced screenings. Viewers praised the film for gathering thrills and humor into one, and bringing back the flavor and the essence of Hong Kong horror films! Viewers even praised Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) for expanding his range, his mob boss Ho Foon was a breath of fresh air.

Pang Sau Wai yesterday morning posted a hand holding black and white photo on social media, saying that her mother has already passed away. She wrote, "After leaving the hospital, I went home for a quick wash and attended several audience appreciation events. Today (September 18th)'s audience appreciation atmosphere was a little different. Before coming out at the second show, I hid in the back to watch the music video. When I saw Chi Hin (Jer Lau Ying Ting)'s final line 'Mommy', I knew that this title would become a call in memory." She continued, "I am saddened, but from the draining heartbreak I felt love. From the simple condolences I felt connected. From the silence of finding out I felt understanding. I wrote a story that started with Ma, while my story with Mama came to an end for now. When I kissed your face for the last time, it was cold just like normal. In the end I held your hand, just like normal, very soft and very warm. There is a time for everyone, a time when I see you again."

Their relationship has been stable, and they are companions who support each other in their pursuit of their careers. She felt that as she grew up, happiness was the most important. She already tossed aside her dream of getting married and having a family before age 30. She was afraid if she got married for the sake of getting married she would regret it later. Ultimately being a parent was not easy. Ng Chin Yu even revealed that she constantly argued with Mommy when she was younger. When she grew up she learned to repair the relationship and became like friends, very similar to her SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE character. Recently Hong Kong film box office continued to trend well, SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE after 4 days made HK$ 2.41 million, and became a commercial and critical hit. Ng Chin Yu in the film SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE (YUT LO TUNG HUNG) played mother and daughter with Kara Wai Ying Hung. The shoot took place during the peak of the second wave of the pandemic in Hong Kong. The government enacted social distancing order. At the time everyone was in a panic and worried that the film would not be made. Even if the production began they worried that the progress would be hindered. Luckily it was completely smoothly. Ng Chin Yu said before the shoot she met with director Judy Chu Fung Han and knew the story was her real story. After a detailed explanation, she was not too worried about the performance. Even if she had anything that she did not understand, she could ask the director on the spot. Instead she knew Sister Hung was rather strict with her demands, so she did not dare to lax off. Everyday she arrived on the set early, but the impression she got from Sister Hung was not as terrifying as expected. She said, "Sister Hung is very demanding on herself, she keeps her eyes on everything and would help with handling a lot of things. From her I learned a lot. Privately she is very chill, very relaxed, very lively." Speaking of the argument and crying scenes with Sister Hung in the film, Chin Yu who had a similar experience said, "Every mother and daughter would argue. In the film Mommy didn't like me dating, which reminded me of my arguments with Mommy when I was younger. It felt like deja vu. After making the film, I re-examined my relationship with my family. When I was little I didn't understand too much, Form 3 was my rebellious period, I skipped school, didn't take homework seriously, pretended to leave home and went to a friend's home for peace, but in less than a few hours I went home." She said that she used to argue of Mommy constantly, they were always crossed with each other. She would lock her diary to keep her Mommy from knowing. This experience continued for almost a year. Now she has completely forgotten how mean Mommy used to look, because Mommy is very gentle with the puppy at home and very accommodating. After starting working, Ng Chin Yu became mature and her relationship with Mommy hence changed. They became like friends and she would share everything with Mommy. "She very rarely asks, mostly I would tell her automatically. Now she is like a child, when she has problems with her friends I am the one who has to talk to her, tell her not to mind, to be magnanimous, not to argue with others. When she heard she would laugh." The currently 28 Ng Chin Yu has not yet wanted to become a mother. She said, "Friends around me have become Mama, everyday they feed and take care of the baby. I feel very tired for them, I also see that many people after marriage may not necessarily be happy; the older people get, at the risk of sounding old fashioned happiness is the most important. I used to hope to get married and have a family before 30, but now I feel age shouldn't restrict me. The most important is that I am comfortable. If I don't want to get married that I shouldn't. Happiness is enough. I can date while changing boyfriends, if I am not prepared mentally, the chance for regret is even greater. However I won't eliminate the possibility that I would wed in a flash." In the business for 10 years, Ng Chin Yu felt like time flew by. Her state of mind had a lot of changes. "Right now I am much more mature than 10 years ago. I used to care a lot about nonsense, now I feel the feeling is the most important. I don't care what other people think in a lot of things. I want to do what I want to do well, and properly enjoy it." For the next 10 years she hoped to try even more, and not just in entertainment. Because she has always liked design, dining ware collecting and furniture, she wanted to open an antique furniture shop with friends. She also wanted to be in the restaurant business, "Because I really like to eat good food." Ng Chin Yu and MIRROR member Anson Kong worked together on the film LOVE SUDDENLY (FUT YIN SUM DONG). She said, "It was AK's first movie and first romantic film, in addition when we started we already had to have bodily contact in a hand holding scene. So he was very nervous; after communicating, getting familiar we built a bond, then he relaxed." Aside from holding hands, they also had an embrace scene. She praised AK as sincere, honest, positive and would answer whatever question she asked. Ng Chin Yu has been in the third generation billionaire for 4 years. Did she have to get permission from her boyfriend for the kiss scene? She said, "No need, I can do anything." She said that currently their relationship was stable. Although sometimes they would be apart, they would support each other on working on their own careers. * (2022/09/20) William Chan Wai Ting two nights ago was "dirty and filthy" for his film, "enter at all your risk" throughout to control his emotions and get into his character.

He gave his all to his performance, even when asked for multiple angles and repeated shoots, he still did them without another word. Speaking of getting a role tailored for him, he said, "The entire film has many unexpected things that happen to me, especially in this scene I absolutely can't be distracted at all. I really need to get into it. Luckily everyone on the team has been really helping me. (What has been the most memorable?) I can't spoil anything yet, otherwise next time you visit you wouldn't see me! Haha!" Reportedly his look in the film was "beyond filthy". He said, "I can only say, the more I perform the filthier I get. (Has the work out be very tough?) Originally I knew I had a scene that would require me to take off my shirt, so I trained for 3 months. In the end it was cancelled, so I just treated it like exercise and be healthier!"

I want through the first science fiction film to be able to cultivate even more young people, to be able to get into the business and make different subject films.

The Joseph Lau charitable trust last Monday (the 12th) and two days ago (the 18th) sponsored the charitable organization members to watch WARRIORS OF FUTURE. The trust director Kimbee Chan two days ago watched the film with everyone. Koo Tin Lok even made a personal appearance, played games with everyone and gave away prizes.

Bringing to life the director's rebellious phase, Chin Yu said that right now she still is a rebellious young woman. Chin Yu said, "When I was little I tried to run away from home too. My relationship with Mama went reached the freezing point, I even threatened to kill myself. This relationship stayed for around two years. Later we began to communicate like friends. Show business indeed makes people grow up faster, people always ask me how does it feel to get yelled at everyday? Honestly I am grateful to have experience like this, which made me think from another angle." Early in Chin Yu's career her romance with Raymond Lam Fung became the hot topic. She said that when she started at age 17 she had no idea what she was doing. Until 23, 24 she finally got it. The greatest conflict and resistance were everyone cared very much about her love life. "At the time many reporters waited for me downstairs, when I went grocery shopping without make up they still took my pictures. I didn't want to handle them so I didn't go out. Actually I didn't like that life. I am someone who extremely needs freedom. (Did you mind that Lam Fung announced that you were dating at the time?) Now I think as long as I am happy it's fine. The social commentary is different already, no one cares about artists dating, marriage or divorce. (Would you rather lose that relationship to lose that pressure?) Regret like that is very hard. This experience helped me grow in life a lot. I am more mature, and I think much more positively now. I have experienced even more troublesome things, whatever else comes would be no big deal." Chin Yu said that she did not mind whether her significant other was in the business or not. Currently she is dating, as long as she is happy she is fine. Now dating a third generation wealthy boyfriend she said that she did not mind whether he was in the business or not. However she mentioned that she was already 29, being called "Chin Yu BB" made her feel embarrassed and guilty. Turning 30 soon she said that she has already learned to handle her emotions and pressure, and was no longer stubborn. * (2022/09/17) The "Strongest in the Universe" Donnie Yen Chi Tan is working on his new film.

Known to be cautious, he kept everything highly confidential before the production began. The choice for lead actress was also talked about nonstop. Recently production videos have surfaced as his "Kiu Fung" image was unveiled. From the video, Chi Tan's appearance was drastically different from previous generations of Kiu Fung. No longer with long hair past the neck, he instead tied up his hair, wore a blue long robe and facial hair to added to the weathered look in a thorough demonstration of the Beggars Gang leader's presence. He picked up the Mainland star Yukee Chen Yu Qi who played "Ah Chu" like a princess, Chen Yu Qi looked pale and weak. With slight red eyes and a frown, the simple expression already showed the pain from her injury. Chi Tan was rather upset as he held her in his arms. Although this scene was shot many times, he still held on very steadily and impressed those online with his manliness. In the story the Beggars Gang leader Kiu Fung faced adversity from fate and his background. With his strong will he struggled between the blades and the swords in the martial art world and gradually evolved into the "strongest hero" with a deep sense of honor. * (2022/09/17) Louis Koo Tin Lok, Stephen Fung Tak Lun, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Alex Lam Tak Shun and Carlos Chan Ka Lok yesterday attended an event at the West Kowloon Cultural District's art pavilion. Fung Tak Lun recently stayed in Hong Kong for work. He would participate in a film and had plans to direct. He would also go overseas to discuss various new jobs. When asked whether he would be so busy with work that he had no time to be with his wife Shu Qi, Fung Tak Lun said that his wife was busier than he was, which made him look for work to keep from being home alone. The Koo Tin Lok produced and starred film WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) reached over HK$ 56 million at the box office and became the seventh highest grossing Chinese language film in Hong Kong. Goo Jai said that he felt pleased and satisfied with this performance, and hoped that it would be able to climb a little higher. Was he confident about it reaching number one? He said, "I too hope to be able to break the old box office and set a new one. I thank everyone for their support. Now every Saturday and Sunday I would attend audience appreciation events. I know many friends have booked shows and also hope that everyone would watch it several more times!" When asked how he would thank the audience, would he accelerate the production of a sequel? Goo Jai said that he was already going to audience appreciation events every Saturday and Sunday, but next week he would hold screenings and press conference to announce the latest WARRIORS OF FUTURE news. Would the sequel investment be even greater? He said, "The first one was already the greatest investment, with the experience the second, third one would be able to even better budget and time control, ultimately it would be an even newer challenge!" Earlier TVB reportedly would work on a new variety program with the Mainland and invite past training class artists like Koo Tin Lok, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Sean Lau Ching Wan to be instructors. Goo Jai pointed out that TVB chief Eric Tsang Chi Wai earlier told him that this was untrue. Even with this idea, he would not have the time to participate. The Golden Horse Awards will take place on November 9th. The Hong Kong Motion Picture Industry Association earlier issued a letter to its members, citing that in recent years the Golden Horse Awards has become more and more politicized. Many Taiwan directors and artists would mix politics with film, soiling film's artistic independence. The Association urged participating members to handle it with caution. Would Goo Jai apply for the Golden Horse Awards for WARRIORS OF FUTURE? He declined to comment. "Do you have another question?" What about the MPIA's letter to urge its members to "think thrice" before participating? He immediately handed the microphone back to the reporter and ended the interview. Fung Tak Lun revealed that since returning to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards, he has remained for work. He would participate in film and would have plans to direct. He would also go overseas to discuss new jobs. Fung Tak Lun has not made a Hong Kong film in awhile. He pointed out that earlier he worked on the Sylvia Chang directed, Sammi Cheng Sau Man starred HER. Although this was a Mainland film, their performance was shot in Hong Kong and the staff was all Hong Kong. Thus he felt very happy and intimate. He even pointed out that The film would be able to be released in the Mainland in its original Cantonese format. His co-star Cheng Sau Man thanked him over social media. Fung Tak Lun joked, "I should be the one thanking her, we not only had a pleasant shoot, the theme song that Sammi sang in the film asked me to guest perform a verse. You know how long I haven't sung!" Would he return to his old job? He said, "Someone has to ask if I would be able to, but now I can randomly sing online. At my age though I probably shouldn't embarrassed myself." With all the jobs would he not have time to spend with his wife Shu Qi? Fung Tak Lun said, "She is busier than I am. She can't possibly stop. Because she is too busy, I have to look for work too. I have no reason to stay at home alone." Could he keep his wife company at work, and get her coffee? He joked, "I wouldn't need to, she already have many people helping her. I wouldn't even get to get her coffee." Chau Sau Na looked obviously thinner. She said that she has not been as busy as before and she gained a little weight. Earlier when she worked on a series she worked over ten hours everyday. Recently with the less frequent film schedule she could be a little more lenient wit her diet. However she still could hide from exercising. She revealed that her film would shoot on location in Malaysia and probably would not need to quarantine. However she has been to Macau and Shenzhen for shoots and had quarantine experience. At the time she spent 21 days in quarantine. She felt that safety was the most important so she would be able to accept it. * (2022/09/17) Kara Wai Ying Hung in the new film SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE (YUT LO TUNG HUNG) played a vision impaired person and with Hugo Goh (Ng Toi Yung) made a vision impaired couple who raised their sighted daughter Karena Ng Chin Yu. As a rare Hong Kong film about a vision impaired family's life, with the strong word of mouth momentum the film opened two days ago and reached over HK$ 1.8 million on opening day with the earlier booked shows and advanced screenings. The performance encouraged the cast and the crew! Recently Hong Kong film fever rose again, as many excellent quality Hong Kong films had good box office and support. SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE belonged to a rarely seen in recent years small budget Hong Kong film. Its opening including the earlier word of mouth advanced screenings and booked shows recorded over HK$ 1 million at the box office. Everyone felt very comforted. Sister Hung said, "Very happy, very grateful." She said that actually making this film was not easy at all, in particularly when making a real life story they could not be too excessive or magnified. "In order to bring life to the eyes of the director's mother, I decided to train my eyes to be like her mother's. The director originally was very suspicious, but on the first day of work she was very surprised that I was able to do it." Sister Hung said that she gave such a tough performance only because she wanted to use a real message and performance to let everyone know, that the handicapped could be independent and their ability to repay the society was no different from the average person. "I hope this movie would be able to have a good box office, good box office means this message could be spread to even more people." Chin Yu upon learning about the box office news expressed thanks to viewers for their support. She also knew that many advanced screenings took place before, especially many students or parents have already watched SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE. "Several days go when I was at a restaurant, a waiter came over and told me, 'My whole family already saw your movie!' I was very happy! Because when the whole family watched it together the feeling would certainly be different." Chin Yu also hoped that even more young people would take their families. "I believe after watching this movie the family bonding would be even strong, I hope everyone would recommend it to people around them." Brother Toi Yung also said, "Thank you everyone for supporting SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE, let's all care more about the less fortunate communities together." * (2022/09/16) The Dayo Wong Tze Wa and Stephy Tang Lai Yan starred TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM) already passed HK$ 20 million after 6 days in release. Executive producer and producer Bill Kong Chi Keung even invited a strong cast for the film's Easter Egg, even director Sunny Chan Wing Sun was so excited that he took a photo with the numerous Easter Egg guest stars. They included one of the investors and the rising in popularity Louis Koo Tin Lok, ANITA star Louise Wong Dan Nei; MEN ON THE DRAGON (YIK LAU DAI SUK)'s team Jennifer Yu Heung Ying, Kenny Wong Tak Bun, Tony Wu Tsz Tung and others. Koo Tin Lok appeared in a surprise role. Although it was just one scene he still very seriously studied the role, added new ideas and even set off a lot of spark with Ivana Wong Yuen Chi. As for Louise Wong Dan Nei she said, "This time working with Tang Lai Yan, Chan Cham Man and Tze Wa God actually made me scream. I truly feel that this year's wish has already come true. It even surpassed my expected reward. In the new year I would keep working hard." * (2022/09/16) Dior Cheng Yi Kin, Catherine Chau Ka Yi led a group of new actors including Gladys Li Ching Kwan, Isabel Chan Hoi Ning and others starred Emperor Motion Picture LIFE MUST GO ON (SUM SIU SIM BEI KAU)'s poster and many character posters were unveiled earlier. The film had a refreshing Japanese manga style! Ekin since the film GOLDEN JOB (WONG GUM HING DAI) years later took the LIFE role and played the hot blooded coach "Lau Sir". In the film he challenged 8 new actors to a series of special training. He revealed that the team had zero gap. "When I made this movie I had a lot of fun. Everyone on and off camera were very united and worked very seriously." The 8 new actors were Ekin's fans. With the chance to come in zero distance contact with their idol, they even discovered Ekin's other side after getting to know him. Li Ching Kwan praised, "Ekin is someone who is extremely without any baggage, I really like him." Earlier Ka Yi during the break hid in a corner of the studio to rehearse a dance with the 8 girls. While Ekin and the director were communicating about the script, they gave Ekin a surprise attack, singing and dancing FRIENDSHIP AGE. Ekin was rather pleasantly surprised and could not stop laughing! * (2022/09/16) Josephine Siao Fong Fong's husband Cheung Ching Po passed away from pancreatic cancer on August 11th in his sleep at age 83. The funeral took place at the end of last month and the cremation also happened. The family yesterday held a memorial at the Deep Water Bay Hong Kong Country Club. Sister Fong Fong who lost her beloved could not help but break down in tears many times, and made a heart gesture for her faraway husband. Yesterday attending the memorial were as close as sisters to Sister Fong Fong, "Seven Princesses" members Connie Chan Bo Chu, Nancy Sit Ka Yin, Wong Oi Ming and Fung So Bo, director Ann Hui On Wa, Sylvia Chang, Lui Chor Hung, memorial planning committee president Tina Lau Tin Lan, John Chiang Dai Wai and his wife Lee Lam Lam, Shi Nansun, and others. Before the memorial, Sister Fong Fong who was dressed in black with a white flower first met with the media. During the interview she could not help but break down many times. She first thanked everyone for coming, after which she immediately broke down. After drying her tears she then said, "Can I not talk so much about Cheung Ching Po, as soon as I do I would collapse." When asked about Cheung Ching Po's final wishes, Sister Fong Fong pointed out that her husband did not sweat the small stuff. He only wished that they would be happy. She got choked up as she said, "Half a year ago he told me to have a very happy and meaningful life. Because he said that, today would not be a heavy memorial, but a gathering that would celebrate his life. I believe that he is looking down from Heaven, seeing so many people's love and good for him he definitely would smile. I have to pick up my emotions and get through today. If I collapse, today I wouldn't be able to do anything!" After saying that she again succumbed to tears. Four of the "Seven Princesses" Connie Chan Bo Chu, Nancy Sit Ka Yin, Wong Oi Ming and Fung So Bo attended yesterday. Sister Fong Fong said that she just saw them, but she did not dare to face them because she would cry. When she saw Sylvia Chang and Ann Hui On Wa she would cry too. Speaking of donating Cheung Ching Po's funeral gifts to Make A Wish Foundation, Sister Fong Fong said that she was unsure about the amount. Because many donated directly online, the actual figure would be very hard to calculate. Finally, she thanked many friends for helping with the organization of this memorial. Sit Ka Yin said that she felt very heavy emotionally. She said, "Fourth Sister (Sister Fong Fong) told us not to be too sad. I am proud of the life Fourth Brother in Law led. He was very successful, to his family he was a good husband, a good father, I know he really loves Fourth Sister. When Fourth Sister had ear problems he would patiently help us as the contact and answer the phone for Fourth Sister. Just now when I saw Fourth Sister I couldn't help but cry." Sister Ka Yin also said that she knew Fourth Sister was very heartbroken, seeing her still very attentively arrange the memorial for Fourth Brother in Law she really admired her. She wished that she would take good care of herself and wished Fourth Brother in Law "a safe journey". Sylvia Chang talked about her past with Cheung Ching Po and Sister Fong Fong. She said that at her first wedding, they were the groomsman and the bridesmaid. She also praised Cheung Ching Po as a gentleman. "I used to invite them to have dinner at my home all the time, I would cook for them. Those were very happy days." Director Ann Hui On Wa said that back then completely due to Cheung Ching Po Sister Fong Fong was persuaded to make her film SUMMER SNOW (NUI YUN SEI SUP) and gave her career a big turnaround. She regretfully said, "He was my great benefactor, but I didn't have a chance to thank him." The memorial took place at 6:30 PM as a private gathering, did not have any religious ceremony. First host Lee Ho Lam led the guests in a moment of silence, then invited five family and friends of Cheung Ching Po from different areas to share past stories and memories of Cheung Ching Po. Cheung Ching Po's daughters personally shot and edited a 5 minute long short film DEAR PAPA, which also played at the event. Then Sister Fong spoke. The Hong Kong Film Award winning art director Lui Chor designed the venue decoration, which featured fresh flowers and white doves in hopes of creating a warm farewell ceremony. Several dozen items of Cheung Ching Po that Sister Fong Fong and their two daughters selected were on display, including books, tennis racket and clothing. The display of personal effects made the gathering an obvious celebration of Cheung Ching Po's life. * (2022/09/16) With several decades in the film industry, Best Actress Kara Wai Ying Hung in the film that was based on a true story, SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE (YUT LO TUNG HUNG) played a vision impaired person for the firs time. The film used new director Judy Chu Fung Han's family story and experience growing up as the blue print, a pair of blind parents gave birth to be a sighted daughter. The daughter after growing up deeply felt that she was only her parents' guiding cane and had a love hate relationship with them. In the film Sister Hung and Hugo Goh (Ng Toi Yung) played the blind couple who raised their sighted daughter Karena Ng Chin Yu. Sister Hung and Ng Toi Yung successfully captured the vision impaired conditions, leaving director Judy with nothing but praise. Word of mouth has spread from the advanced screenings earlier. The film will open on the 15th in Hong Kong. Judy's parents had two different conditions that they lost their sight to. Her mother's eyes turned white, the nerves went bad and could not control how her eye moved. Her father's nerves had atrophy and he could not open his eyes. Sister Hung in order to play the blind mother role was very serous with his costume and preparation before hand. Aside from performing without make up and dying her hair white, despite her dry eyes Sister Hung even made an exception and asked to wear special contact lenses to turn her eyes white and look more like a vision impaired person. Sister Hung said, "In the past several decades I haven't worn contact lenses for a movie, because they are dangerous. However as an actor sometimes I have to make the sacrifice and give it a try." Although wearing contact lenses sometimes would scratch her eyes and turn them red, Sister Hung had no complaint at all. She said, "I have always used steroid eye drops, I hope to be able to get through this period." In addition, on the set Sister Hung before the cameras rolled would rise a finger like using it to focus. Sister Hung explained that when she was doing her research some vision impaired people due to sight loss since childhood would be unable to control the muscles, leading to their eyes to "drift" rather seriously. Thus before the shoot she kept training herself so her eyes would be under her control. "You would see that one of my eyes look sideway, at the same time I also had to perform the expressions. These expressions couldn't affect the emotions I expressed, so these were the only scenes I would watch the playback with every shoot." Ng Toi Yung also played a blind person for the first time. His portrayal was different from Sister Hung's as he performed without opening his eyes. Ng Toi Yung revealed that before the shoot he went to a blind massage parlor for advice. He paid attention to his masseur's details and felt that the blind was very family in touching things, and not in a panic as he imagined. Thus during the shoot he added this detail in particular. * (2022/09/16) Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Mark Cheng Ho Nam, Wong Kwong Leung and Justin Cheung Kin Sing two nights ago attended the IMPRISONED II (YUT YUK II GIP SO LAN TOH)'s production wrap banquet. Cheung Kai Chung in recent years has made 4 or 5 prison movies. He said that this time the story and the character would be completely different from his past prison films. The production process was tough. He chuckled and said that the production environment kept getting worse. "Earlier I worked with (Louis) Koo Tin Lok on a prison film, the location had air conditioning. I didn't expect the shoot environment to just keep getting worse. This time because the prison would be in Southeast Asia, the environment had to be very realistic, super hot and super dirty. Not just air conditioning, it didn't even have air. However it made getting into character easier." Ah Chung also pointed out that this time was the most difficult in his film career. Not only did he need to work in over 30 degree Celsius high heat, but he also had to wear a down jacket in the summer. He no longer wanted to make another prison film. Instead he really wanted to make a romantic film in a comfortable environment. The lead actress would not matter, at least the shoot would have to have air conditioning and air flow." In addition, Ah Chung next month would perform a concert at the McPherson Stadium. He revealed that recently he has already begun practicing songs, guitar playing and attending singing lessons. Because he had to attend audience appreciation activities for his movie, he could not stop working for now. Was he worried that he would be prepared? He said, "At work I would try to be careful. I am a homebody, normally I rarely go out. In rehearsal I would wear a mask. Other workers would be careful too. The most important is to have the determination." Cheng Ho Nam, his Malaysian wife and their children have settled in Malaysia for many years. He said that in June he already returned to Hong Kong and made two movies. He praised Hong Kong films for improving a lot and praised Louis Koo Tin Lok's WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI). Yesterday he met with "Friends of Cinema City" and boss Raymond Wong Pak Ming to show their support together and celebrate Happy Girl Group member Fennie Yuen Kit Ying's birthday. When asked how long he would stay in Hong Kong this time, Cheng Ho Nam said that he did not know yet. He also revealed that something unpleasant happened at home. Due to work and the pandemic he was away from home for 16 months, in the past he would return home after one week at most. He has never been apart from his family for so long. Originally he and his wife's 20th anniversary would be on the 18th, but now both his wife and children have disappeared. He said, "Last year around Christmas, when I was trying to get a flight to go back, my wife hung up as soon as she picked up the phone. Later she said that whatever I had to say I could say it to the lawyer. (Was there someone else?) Everyone can imagine, of course it's not on my side. I really love my family, all the property, car in Malaysia are not under my name. I only have the ancestral home left. I never thought that something like this would happen to me, but I can't blame anyone. It's my fate." He said that the older daughter is in the university and the younger son is already 10. The last time he saw them was in December last year. In addition, he also pointed out that earlier an old wound acted up and he had an operation in the Mainland. "Because of the old wound in my right shoulder acted up, four tendons were 70% torn so now I can't do any extraneous exercise. I can't play in a tennis match or swim freestyle." * (2022/09/15) Opening today in Hong Kong, the new film SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE (YUT LO TUNG HUNG) was the director Judy Chu Fung Han's personal experience. The film told of the everyday life with vision impaired parents. Yet behind the happiness she once minded her parents, wanted to escape her family, cut ties with them and live the life that she thought would be free and normal. Until she planned to turn the script into the film, from knocking on doors to find investors she kept telling this true story of hers. Instead it helped her accept the reality and hence she got her release. Judy also learned to see things thoroughly from her parents, not to care too much about success and failure. Even if life is not perfect, getting 70 points she should the 70 points she gets. SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE slowly evolved from the Judy created UNDERNOURISHED? Readers Theater and short film, it was also her feature film director debut. She invited Best Actress Kara Wai Ying Hung, Hugo Goh (Ng Toi Yung) and Karena Ng Chin Yu to perform; she said, "Many viewers after watching the 45 minute Readers Theater felt it was very interesting, some spots were absurd yet pretty funny. At the same time they felt my vision impaired parents had a lot of life force. They all agreed that they would like to know more, see more, which I didn't expect. Later I made it into a short film. At the time due to limited budget, I asked my parents to perform. Although it wasn't released on social media platforms, it participated in film festivals in Singapore and Canada. Viewers from different cultural backgrounds were very touched after watching it and felt proud of my parents. Because I received the recognition, I was motivated to write the movie about how I grew up." Judy 4 years ago completed the scripts and went knocking on doors to find investors, but she was turned away. "Some immediately turned it down, saying that this was a minority film and not commercial enough; some said that they would think about it; but after half a year and they still haven't responded, I realized that they were turning it down indirectly." Someone suggested to apply for the First Feature Film Initiative financial assistance. Because she was not a film major student, she was unable to apply for the student group. She also lacked the qualification for the professional group, but she still did not give up and kept knocking on doors. Then she ran into Mandarin Motion Pictures boss Raymond Wong Pak Ming and producer Ng Kin Hung, and received strong support from them. The next day she already received a message from the boss. "This movie has to be made". The film also received "Film Development Fund" assistance. I spent 1 year to hone and edit the script before the production began. "The boss didn't ask me to add many box office elements, only reminded me to tighten up the script. The actors had to be able to grasp the right tone after the table read, everyone had to come to an understanding to avoid any argument on the set in order for it to go into production; he wanted me to choose things from life that I had feelings for and put them in to make the theme stand out." Judy insisted on turning UNDERNOURISHED? into a movie, deeply believing that it would bring the audience positive energy, warmth or re-examine their relationship with their families. Sister Hung in the film wore special contact lenses to play a vision impaired person. The lenses scratched her eyes but she had no complaint at all. She kept using eye drops to ease the discomfort and insisted on continuing. Judy said, "My parents weren't born blind, so I was very uneasy. Sister Hung at the time didn't give me any pressure or rushed to finish work earlier. Before taking her mark she hid in a corner to rest. I remember her using eyedrop like it was yesterday, I really are grateful to her for helping me so much." Judy was very pleased with Sister Hung, Ng Toi Yung and Ng Chin Yu's performance, feeling that it was a super cast; in one scene Sister Hung went to the school to pick up her daughter Chin Yu, which brought her back to memories that she thought she has forgotten and had no feeling for. She got teary eyed. "Chin Yu struggled in a flash, chose to leave with her classmates, and ignored Sister Hung. Sister Hung's expression change showed that strong sense of loss." Judy looked back at her childhood with the imperfect family but did not have self pity, instead she thought it was interesting. "Before ordering at a cafe, I would read the menu for them, described things around them for them. I didn't feel I was alternative at all, because my everyday social contacts were with vision impaired people's families and I played with their children." Then in secondary school, the entire world started to change. She was able to go to school on her own, had a greater degree of freedom, and her contact circle also expanded. She then hid her own family background and mixed in with other students. "I want to have friends, I was afraid that when people found out they would not know what to think of me; actually once on parents' day, when my classmates saw my Mommy they looked very surprised. The next day they didn't speak to me. After that, I realized that not everyone was able to accept that. So I wanted to hide even more, I became rebellious, wanted to leave this burden. I longed to get my adult identification card at age 18, draw the line with my parents and start my own life. In the end I realized that it means nothing at all, because I came from a vision impaired family, what I see and my values are deeply rooted." In comparison, despite their imperfect bodies her parents were optimistic and open. Feeling that they could not change the facts, they had to adjust their state of mind and tried to use their own ways to face difficulties. They would not need to fight what would not be theirs; anything that belonged to them, as long as they worked hard and did their best they were fine. "I haven't reached my parents' levels. I am very healthy, but sometimes I would be unhappy and lost. Mommy instead would use another angle to comfort me, she is much better than I am. Many people after watching the movie say I am amazing, actually my parents are. So at first I wanted to write about them, because they did not have self-pity they were able to keep going. Otherwise who knows how many times they would have died." When Judy created the screenplay at first, she once worried about further trauma from the conventional view. Actually she has not been looked down upon, thought of as strange, she was even able to give others positive energy. "Some people's lives are even more difficult than ours, but they still can grind their teeth and tough them out. I mustered up the courage to take the first step just from taking the script, knocking on doors to find funding, and telling the bosses that this is my true story. Instead this movie helped me to recognize this family. The more I talked about it I gradually accepted it, getting over the obstacle that I gave myself and I was much more honest and comfortable." Judy from her parents learned to see things thoroughly, not to focus wins or losses, and not to use the conventional standard to see her own others' success or failure. She admitted that she cherished even more what she had currently, even if it is imperfect. If it is 70 points then cherish the 70 points that you have. Even though she has not reached 100 points and perfection, she can use the view of properly cherishing it to appreciate it. From July to September this year many Hong Kong films have performed decently, from the HK$ 450 million big science fiction production WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) to the HK$ 2.7 million low budget FAR FAR AWAY (LUEN LO SHAN KA LA) they have become hits. As for September 13th, the Louis Koo Tin Lok starred and produced film WARRIORS OF FUTURE has made over 56 million to become the 9th highest grossing Chinese film in Hong Kong. MIRROR member Edan Lui Cheuk On, Sandra Ng Kwan Yu and Ronald Cheng Chung Kei starred CHILLI LAUGH STORY (HOP GA LAT) has made 32 million; Lui Cheuk On's MIRROR group mates Keung To and Jer Lau Ying Ting's big screen debut MAMA'S AFFAIR (AH MA YAU JOR DAI YI GOR) also has made over 35 million. FAR FAR AWAY opened to only 110,000, but with word of mouth and extended run it accumulated 9.5 million and would have a chance to pass the 10 million mark. After 6 weeks it remains at the movies. The September 7th release TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM) starred Dayo Wong Tze Wa, Stephy Tang Lai Yan, Ivana Wong Yuen Chi and others. It opened with over 1.58 million, as of two days ago (the 13th) it accumulated over 18.7 million. Who knows whether SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE would continue the aforementioned Hong Kong films' momentum and attract an audience to the movies.

The walled city is populated by people in the lowest strata of society, among whom are various colorful and kung-fu savvy characters: e.g. a Vietnamese immigrant biding time for revenge, an ex-boxer on the lookout for his kidnapped girlfriend, a katana wielding martial arts boy wonder from Temple Street, as well as a local gang leader and his loyal friend. When the British Hong Kong government tries to demolish the Walled City once and for all with the help of a Triad kingpin and his ruffian underlings, they gather all the residents in the enclave behind them to fight against the invaders and protect their homes and properties.

In this melodramatic comedy, three brothers reside in a home that they inherited from their late parents. The eldest brother Steve, theoretically is the man of the house, but he constantly is getting dissed by his two younger brothers Bernard and Lung for the decisions he makes, the inedible meals that he cooks, and his complicated romantic encounters. To prepare for a family reunion dinner, Steve seeks the help of Lung’s girlfriend and foodie Josephine and in doing so, wins back their hearts for a while, until his old flame and Bernard’s new girlfriend Monica shows up. That's a recipe for a disaster waiting to explode! The unexpected visit of Steve's part-time girlfriend Meow not only fails to turn down the heat and cool the awkward situation, but stirs up the sibling conflict even further.
