MISCELLANEOUS * (2023/01/25) The "Equal Writer Union Hong Kong" two days ago issued a statement on facebook with the subject of unfairness over the film project A LIFE OF PAPERS (JI PEI POR POR). It demanded a direct conversation with the film production company One Cool Film's boss Louis Koo Tin Lok. Goo Jai yesterday has already left the matter to the lawyers to respond to. The legal firm cited that One Cool Film from May to October 2022 has been seeking resolution with the A LIFE OF PAPERS screenwriter and director Ren Xia (Yam Hap). Although it felt that he twisted words and forced logic, it has always remained tolerant. On October 31st 2022, the company still hoped that both parties would be able to resolve the issue peacefully and provided a resolution agreement draft. No response has been received yet, hence the open letter accusation two days ago was regrettable and has left the company stunned. On the issue of the screenwriter contract, One Cool Film assigned the task to screenwriter Shu Kei, and Shu Kei recommended Yam Hap. One Cool Film at the end of 2008 signed a film editor and film producer contract with Mr. Shu Kei and a director contract with Yam Hap. In accordance to those 3 contracts the company has paid the salaries in related payments. Yam Hap participated in the project's first draft screenplay creation, and Shu Kei paid him HK$ 67,500 in salary. This was the collaboration agreement between them. Thus Yam Hap's accusation of "being eliminated from the screenwriting contract and the screenwriting salary was being owed for over 3 years" had nothing to do with One Cool Film. One Cool Film would again clarify the accusation of "monopolizing the million dollar first prize money and the prize whereabouts is unknown", stating that as the production company it applied for the Golden Horse Film Project Promotion. The information provided included the second draft of the A LIFE OF PAPERS screenplay, the director, the producer, and the production company. In the end the project received NT$ 1 million (around HK$ 250,000) in prize money, after taxes the actual amount of NT$ 800,000 (around HK$ 200,000). The event presented the prize money to the company. Due to Yam Hap's demand for his share of the prize money had no precedence, One Cool Film contacted the event. The event stated that the paid prize money would not be rescinded. One Cool Film decided without discounting for any pre-production expense to split the prize money evenly between One Cool Film, the producer, director Yam Hap and screenwriter Shu Kei. Yet Yam Hap demanded half the prize money and excluded Shu Kei. He even brought up buying back the screenplay for HK$ 1,000, which baffled One Cool Film. In October 2022, One Cool Film stated that it would considered transferring the A LIFE OF PAPERS project at cost (including only the creative expenses that have been already paid). Yam Hap has not responded and chosen to issue the open letter three months later. * (2023/01/25) The Donnie Yen Chi Tan produced, directed and starred wuxia epic SAKRA (TIN LUNG BAK BO ji KIU FUNG JUEN) opened in Malaysia on January 16th on top of the box office. Chi Tan two weeks ago promoted the film with a whirlwind tour of Malaysia. After 8 days in release, it successfully defeated other film releases of the same period and firmly sat atop of Malaysia Lunar New Year box office. Its box office headed straight for 3.2 million RM (over HK$ 5.84 million). In addition, SAKRA also was the Singapore Hong Kong Lunar New Year film box office champion and the most searched for film on the Mainland video channels like iQiYi, Tencent Video and Youku. Yen Chi Tan said that in July this year he would turn 60, so he would openly face any box office victory or defeat. After over 40 years of making action films, he has tried to transition to drama and no longer be the "Strongest in the Universe". Unfortunately the audience did not accept it, a fact that Yen Chi Tan gladly accepted. He would continue to be an action actor until the audience no longer liked to watch him, then he would retire. Yen Chi Tan admitted that now he would face gains and losses as openly as Kiu Fung in the movie. He would not mind box office loses or wins. With A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG)'s Dayo Wong Tze Wa carrying his previous film TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM)'s HK$ 77 million box office momentum, would he be worried that he would pale in comparison, losing out at the box office and being criticized? Yen Chi Tan felt that he would not get to be afraid, and he did not mind losing or winning. "Everyone's genres are different. Tze Wa of course has his substance, with the accumulated TABLE FOR SIX box office success everyone would want to see A GUILTY CONSCIENCE. Those who don't like watching Yen Chi Tan action films would never watch them. Those who like them would come to see what would Yen Chi Tan be doing this time? I hope everyone would watch all the movie in the Lunar New Year, as the Hong Kong film full bloom of the past would return." Really minding defeats in the past, Yen Chi Tan admitted that at the time he was not yet mature. "My movies have won before, so what's the big deal about losing a little. SAKRA is a product of three major online platforms. My intention is hoping for the entire world to be able to enjoy Yen Chi Tan's new action film. (It doesn't matter even if it would lose?) It doesn't matter, it would either lose or win." Yen Chi Tan admired this character of Kiu Fung for his ability to withstand any condemnation and tolerate pressure. He could not be bothered with what others say. "Actually history has always been like this, people might not be able to see it so transparently. They may hear some information and believe it is real, just going along with it like sheep." In real life, Yen Chi Tan admitted that when he was younger he minded facing criticism and pressure very much. In particular when something was made out of nothing, ultimately people have emotions and desires. They would get mad and they would laugh, but as he grew older and turning 60 this year he now would face things with a much more opened mind. "I can say I am completely open minded, but it has unknowingly gradually accumulated. I am pretty glad that I turn 60 this year, but very luckily I still have movies to make. The audience hasn't abandoned me yet." He felt that gratitude was very important, when he learned to be grateful and cherish things he have, live in the moment, he has already let go. As for various previous setbacks like the last film he produced and starred in, COME BACK HOME (SAU GAU) bombed at the box office, and SAKRA being forced from the big screen to the internet, Yen Chi Tan was not angry at all. "I laugh them off, how can I explain them? This film from the beginning has been a internet investment. I don't feel an online release is shameful, the goal of making a movie is hoping for even more people to be able to watch my work. The internet has a great ability of broadcasting. I try to look at it from a positive angle, then I would be a little happier." Yen Chi Tan has made action films for over 40 years, accumulating exhaustion and injuries. When asked about retirement from action films, he admitted that he has thought about it but regretted that the market would not permit him to do so. "I am not taking a negative approach to talk about COME BACK HOME, but the audience doesn't like my dramatic performance. They like to watch action films that I fight very strongly in. I can completely accept that, I don't have any reason to deliberately keep that from the audience." How old would he think he would be able to keep going to? He said, "Earlier I have told my wife many times, that at age 55 I would retire. Several years ago when I made BIG BROTHER (DAI SI HING) I already had that in mind. I would perform a little less and bring up some newcomers, but the fact proved that the market still wanted to watch Yen Chi Tan fight. Thus I don't necessarily have to stop fighting. Now I can still fight a little. When I feel the audience no longer like to watch me, then I wouldn't keep the world from spinning." Yen Chi Tan has never thought about playing the Louis Cha (Jin Yong) wuxia novel DEMI-GODS AND SEMI-DEVILS (TIN LUNG BAK BO)'s Kiu Fung. Completely by chance, without any mental preparation and desire Wong Jing suddenly mentioned to him to play the character. Yen Chi Tan said, "Several years ago Wong Jing asked me to be in CHASING THE DRAGON (JUI LUNG) and play Crippled Ho. At the time I was working on a foreign film in Toronto. Because I couldn't think of a new angle to interpret but I had the desire inside, I considered it for 3 full months before agreeing to perform." Was it because the Ray Lui Leung Wai played Crippled Ho was too classic? He said, "Yes, also because it was too classic I wanted to play this character even more. Thankfully the response was decent." He felt that as an actor or a director he still had to dare to try and explore. While success was not guaranteed, shrinking and curling into a ball would keep him from moving forward. Thus after he decided to make SAKRA, he kept thinking about how to make the movie and how to play the role. Yen Chi Tan was not worried that releasing a costume wuxia film now would be criticized being outdated. He felt that the most important was to be fresh. He said that SAKRA completely was not the past classic wuxia films. "Past wuxia films, everyone have seen them. Even with the Tsui Hark directed ones I have been in several. This time with the all new production, I put myself into the audience's state of mind and think why young people now like to watch Marvel movies. It is because it is direct, so in my action scene designs it was enough for me to feel whether the fight was powerful enough, entertaining to watch, making hairs stand on their ends, and have new visual enjoyment. I never thought about making a world rocking epic. It's too complicated. The message would be so dep that no one would understand the movie." * (2023/01/25) In the Lunar New Year film EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL (CHIU SUN GAING HAI GIP ONG HA), Ying Chi Yuet (Little Cat) guest starred as Kappa. Little Cat said that when the team invited him to play the role of Kappa, the director felt that with his usually mild mannered image he would definitely give the audience something fresh. Little Cat said that at first he thought the Kappa look would require him to be balding, so he considered it for awhile. Later the team wanted a more Japanese Kappa look, so he agreed. He hoped to bring the audience joy with his first film. Little Cat said that the Kappa costume required special mold of the mouth and the hands to be made first. On the day of the shoot the special effect make up took 3 hours to complete. Conceivably many viewers could not recognize that was Little Cat. For his first movie, as well as his first movie with director Ying Chi Wan, Little Cat said that this collaboration was very meaningful to him. His older brother has always been his idol, he always wished to be able to take part in his work. Thus he was particularly excited. * (2023/01/25) The Dayo Wong Tze Wa, Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Michael Wong Man Tak, Dee Ho Kai Wa, Adam Pak Tin Nam and others starred Lunar New Year film A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG) opened on the Lunar New Year's Eve. On the Lunar 2nd its single box office passed HK$ 6.8 million and set two records: the Hong Kong Lunar New Year film and the past 5 years single day box office champion. The cast has been very proactive with the film promotions and audience appreciation events, as they wished viewers a Happy New Year. Speaking of his New Year wish, Tze Wa said, "I wish A GUITLY CONSCIENCE would be able to bring out the next Lunar New Year film sooner, I wish to have 12 Lunar New Year films a year." Director Ng Wai Lun wished, "Everyone can remove their masks as soon as possible, be free and carefree, go wherever they like to go." Tze Wa agreed, "I completely agree with the director. Now I already really want to remove it. I wish this year all mankind could be liberated and in good health." Kwan Ho said, "I wish everyone good health!" Wong Dan Nei said, "I wish everyone's wishes would come true, immune to all poison." Pak Tin Nam said, "Good health for everyone!" Liew Chi Yu said, "I wish A GUILTY CONSCIENCE would be a big box office hit and make a sequel with Liew Chi Yu again." This time playing a big time lawyer Lam Leung Shui in A GUILTY CONSCIENCE, Tze Wa neither played a comedic character nor perform a stand up routine. He instead brought wave after wave of climax, played scene after scene of drama that struck at the heart. This time was also Wong Tze Wa's most challenging, ultimate acting explosion. Tze Wa in the ending trial scene not only had to deliver lines that were a mile long, but also had to elevate the entire courtroom's emotions. Tze Wa said, "The most memorable of course was this courtroom scene that was shot last." Tse Kwan Ho gave Tze Wa a thumbs up in praise. Kwan Ho said, "Tze Wa has done very well with several layers in various directions. I really feel it is very entertaining." Tze Wa sad, "Before when I worked on JUSTICE SUNG I already felt very strong, as I was able to deliver 7 pages of lines. This time the difficulty was even higher, with super long dialogue and super emotions. Some movies you can cheat in, but this one you can't. For me this is my extreme challenge." Tze Wa after completing that scene, the 50 cast and crew members on the set all applauded. Dee even screamed, "Good show!" Before taking his mark, Tze Wa not only kept reciting his lines but also was very willing to assist other actor with getting into character. Tze Wa's super fan Liew Chi Yu shot the exchange with Tze Wa. Although Tze Wa was not in the shot, Tze Wa still insisted on reading his lines from behind the scene so Fish would be able to get into her performance even more. Fish said, "Tze Wa is quite a gentleman in every way. Every time he talks about something in court, he has the presence of a big time lawyer." Many viewers after watching the film left huge praises online. "Wong Man Tak, Tse Kwan Ho really stole the spotlight", "You have to watch it at lest twice to be able to truly savor the story", "I saw it this morning, super entertaining", "Sincerely entertaining, if you haven't seen it hurry, if you have you can watch it again." Obviously the movie not only performed brilliantly at the box office but also won word of mouth. * (2023/01/24) In his first Lunar New Year film lead EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL (CHIU SUN GAING HAI GIP ONG HA), Hins Cheung King Hin has been so nervous over his new film that he lost sleep for days. Yet he still put his effort into promoting, attending over 50 shows of audience appreciation events in 3 days. He said, "During the performance process, perhaps from everyone's chemistry and different understanding a lot of comedy filled the film. Yet I would like everyone to be able to see our 'security guard's slogan, Secure with our hearts, guard with our lives.'" "In the process of growing up, no one told us about the price is that something would slowly be lost and we have to accept some truth helplessly. However I believe that the world we live in still has a lot of values, perhaps something that we feel we should persist in life. I hope to be able to remind everyone, when running into trouble whether in life, at work or in love we have to secure with our hearts". EVERYTHING on the Lunar New Year's Eve made HK$ 2.57 million on the single day box office. In addition, Hin Jai forced the "EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL Lunar New Year Visit tour" for a program with Ivana Wong Yuen Chi, Michael Ning (Bak Ji), Angus Yeung Tin Yue, Suey Kwok Sze, Lai Chun, Cheung Ming Wai and Yau Chung Wai to pay New Year visits and play mahjong. During the matches comedy ensured, according to the game rules they spoke English and Cantonese, sometimes even Japanese and singing. In the end Hin Jai won with HK$ 256. Yen Chi Tan posted twice on the Lunar New Year's day, including his heroic look from the film and a photo from an audience appreciation event when he was eating between fans at the cinema. "Due to work I again am unable to have the Lunar New Year dinner with my wife. Ultimately I feel very dull. Last night I even went to the movies to thank the audience! Children after growing up would have their own journeys, still accompany me would still be the other half." On the Lunar New Year, Yen Chi Tan again issued two posts. In them he played TWO FORGOTTEN IN THE SMOKY WATER and wrote Lunar New Year banner and couplets. Dayo Wong Tze Wa, with the momentum from TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM)'s HK$ 77 million box office, opened A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG) on Lunar New Year's Eve. The audience flocked to climb a glimpse of "Tze Wa God"'s glory in the war of words. After 3 days its box office has already passed HK$ 15 million. Wong Tze Wa immediately responded on social media, "When I woke up in the New Year the number is already at HK$ 15 million, if I don't repay the return wouldn't I be a real jerk?" He then posted his 2018 Lunar New Year song LAI SEE BELONGS TO YOU to celebrate and wish everyone a Happy New Year. On Lunar New Year's Even Wong Tze Wa even personally went to support the movie and posted his ticket stub on social media. "I haven't wrote a late show in 20 years, I wish everyone a Happy New Year!" Two days ago on the Lunar New Year's Day he posted a handsome Lunar New Year photo. He even joked, "I know this Lunar New Year look is a little awkward, but I sincerely wish everyone a peaceful yet exciting New Year (PS: for peaceful yet exciting, you can just watch A GUILTY CONSCIENCE! I really am a genius)." He also added the laughing emoji. * (2023/01/24) Aaron Kwok Fu Sing has been busy with his film MY FIRST OF MAY (MO MING JI). Working with Nina Paw Hee Ching, Gigi Leung Wing Kei and Ann Bridgewater's daughter Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi), he was able to get three days off for the Lunar New Year. Sing Sing has already resumed work on the Lunar 3rd, not only continuing the shoot on his film MY FIRST OF MAY but also promoting his upcoming release with Tony Leung Chiu Wai, WHERE THE WIND BLOWS (FUNG JOI HEI SI). Sing Sing said that after stepping into the Year of the Rabbit he already had a good start. He was able to make a film character he rather liked and hoped to give his all to the performance and make it its best. In addition, this year his concert world tour would also launch anew as he would head to North America. * (2023/01/24) The Hong Kong Lunar New Year film box office would continue last year's film market success, as many Lunar New Year films reported good news. The Dayo Wong Tze Wa, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, Fish Liew Chi Yu and others starred Lunar New Year film A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG) opened on the Lunar New Year's Eve. After 3 days in release its cumulative box office has already passed HK$ 15 million. As of January 22nd, the Hins Cheung King Hin and Ivana Wong Yuen Chi starred EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL (CHIU SUNG GAING HAI GIP ONG HA) after 2 days made HK$ 4,652,438. The Donnie Yen Chi Tan starred SAKRA (TIN LUNG BAK BO ji KIU FUNG JUEN) after 4 days made HK$ 1,375,987. AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER after 40 days in release made over HK$ 133 million. According to Mao Yan professional page data, as of 5:30 PM yesterday this year's Spring Festival slot (January 21st to 27th) total box office (including advanced sales) has already broken 25 million yuan RMB in the Mainland. WANDERING EARTH 2 led wth 850 million yuan, FULL RIVER RED followed tightly with 810 million yuan and BOONIE BERS: GUARDIAN CODE with 260 million yuan came in third. As the presale 5 days before the Spring Festival was near the 5 year high, the industry predicted that this year's Spring Festival slot overall box office would likely pass 9 billion yuan. This Spring Festival's releases were WANDERING EARTH 2, FULL RIVER RED, HIDDEN BLADE, FIVE HUNDRED MILES, PING PONG: THE TRIUMPH, and DEEP SEA. The 7 films included a variety of genres like suspense, comedy, family, animation, and science fiction. According to Ali Pictures' Movie Pro data, WANDERING EARTH 2 already broke 22 records including the Mainland science fiction film single day box office record and the Mainland Spring Festival science fiction film single day box office record. * (2023/01/23) The "Strongest of the Universe" Donnie Yen Chi Tan was born in the Year of the Rabbit, but having grown up overseas he was not worried about clashing with the Tai Sui. He deeply believed that people would overcome fate. As for work in the upcoming year, he admitted that he has already planned to cut back. He hoped to spend more time on creating behind the scene, at the same time he lamented that he has yet to find a suitable successor. Stepping into the year of his zodiac sign, Chi Tan wished everyone a lively Year of the Rabbit. The strength of his calligraphy thoroughly demonstrated his heroic style! According to Chinese tradition, he would have to be careful with everything in the year of his birth sign. However he lightly said, "I grew up overseas, my personality is more foreign so it doesn't matter! Friends have told me to go to pacify the Tai Sui of the Year. Sometimes I would tag along to get a peace of mind." Chi Tan admitted that he did not believe in fate, only valued personal effort. "The most important is to live excitingly. Life would always have setbacks and hardship, it depends on how you would face them. (Is nothing hard for you?) Even if I have difficulties, I should try to come up with ideas to resolve them. That's life!" He has always carried a happy state of mind in life, grateful that he has been luckier than so many others. Would he hold a big celebration for his 60th birthday? He said, "Actually I like to hide at home, I don't want to hold birthday parties. I have spent many birthdays on the set. Sometimes the producer would bring out a cake to celebrate. However my wife likes the cheer, she is a happy person and she would affect me. I will think about it when the time comes." Looking ahead to the Year of the Rabbit, Chi Tan said that he had several Hollywood scripts on hand to choose from but suddenly talked about his production reduction plan. "I don't want to star in too many movies, even if I do I want to find some more challenging stories that can ignite my fire. At most they would be two or three! Actually as my age becomes more and more mature, I instead feel my own creative thinking has reached to its peak. I have always really liked and enjoyed the behind the scene work. Hiding in a room to edit videos is my joy. I am very willing to share my experience in this area. (In other words you would choose to ease out of on screen performance?) The sun would set one day, when I was 50 I told my wife I wouldn't work at 55. Now I would soon be 60 and I still have several scripts on hand. In other words at the soonest I still have several years!" Without any doubt, Chi Tan years ago has already hoped to cultivate successors. Yet he still has yet to find a suitable choice. "Everyone's journey is different, if they get into the business they have to really love (kung fu). They aren't my own children, no matter how intense I train them it would be useless. Fight scenes looked very exciting, but they haven't personally experienced life on the set. At work we aren't people, we are only machines. It's very tough. When parents sent their children to study kung fu, they might only treat it as extracurricular activities. (What about your son Chai Ka?) He is pretty agile, but he likes music more. I wouldn't force him. Luckily the Yen Stuntman Association cultivated several great disciples, including Kenji Tanigaki and Yan Hua. This time when I said I would make SAKRA they really responded to the call. Everyone dropped the jobs on their hands and came back to help me." Yen's daughter Jasmine Yen Chai Yu just turned 19 and has been said to have the quality for a second generation star, but Chi Tan for now still has not given the green light for his daughter to get into the family business. "Companies have always wanted to sign her. She knows how to write and arrange songs, sing and dance, but I still want her to put education first. The rest can take its natural course." As for his New Year wish, he wished that this year the economy would thrive so the people of Hong Kong would be able to work and live happily and for the market to revive. After many Lunar New Years away from Hong Kong, he got to stay and celebrate this year. "I really enjoy the family life very much, I don't like to go out too much. In past years I would go to pay a Lunar New Year visit to my mother in law and have a family dinner." In addition, SAKRA (TIN LUNG BAK BO j KIU FUNG JUEN) earlier opened in Singapore, Malaysia and other places and returned with good news from the box office. Many viewers praised that the film captured an unique style, in particular the ending resolved all the mysteries and the story set up was done very outstandingly! * (2023/01/23) Louise Wong Dan Nei and Fish Liew Chi Yu recently spoke with HOY TV and wrote couplets. Louise said that every Lunar New Year she would write couplets. "Although my calligraphy isn't considered pretty, but I did it all myself. (Have you written some with your daughter?) Yes, we would even write some for the fan club." From Malaysia, Fish revealed that for the Lunar New Year lion and dragon dancers would be invited to perform. "Malaysia has been the place that has produced the most Lunar New Year songs, singers there would sing Lunar New Year songs. When I was little I always thought, when I grew up and became an actor or a singer I would have to release a Lunar New Year album." Then she sang a verse of a New Year song on the spot. Looking back in the past year, both said that it has been great. Louise admitted that she was already very happy to have jobs, while Fish pointed out that this year she had many more jobs. They also wished that their Lunar New Year film would be a big hit at the box office. * (2023/01/22) Hins Cheung King Hin made a return to the film industry after "sharpening one sword for ten years". His "return" with the Emperor Motion Picture EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL (CHIU SUN GAING HAI GIP ON HA) asked Ivana Wong Yuen Chi and Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun to make laughs together. The trio had great box office expectation. As Hin Jai challenged Jeffrey to go to the gym to "pay the bill", Ivana boasted that when the box office would reach HK$ 40 million she would give a song to Jeffrey. Hin Jai, Jeffrey and Ivan worked on their Lunar New Year photos just as the Lunar New Year box office war officially began. They stood in front of a pair of rabbit lions, made poses for luck and wish everyone a smooth and prosperous Year of the Rabbit. The three even joked that as long as viewers would buy tickets to go to the movie, the Year of the Rabbit would definitely be luck for them. Speaking of his first lead role in a Lunar New Year film, Hin Jai made a heavy wager, "Right now, I believe this Lunar New Year would be the most memorable because I would spend it with everyone. Since I wouldn't have much to do on the Lunar New Year's Eve, I would gather the cast and the crew and go to the movies for audience appreciation events. I would go to get some rub off everyone's luck, I believe in the start of the New Year I would continue to be on patrol, and I am even planning on getting out lai see." As Ivana and Jeffrey immediately repeated, "Thank you Lord Hin", Hin Jai announced a "cap". "It's just a piece of red paper, I won't say the money. I have a set amount. Since the wool would come from the sheep anyway, I would make it count!" Speaking of New Year wishes, the trio naturally said box office success. Hai Jai went straight to the point and stated that he looked forward to a "big hit" and also sang his own praises. "The movie has a lot of very special places and hidden parts, everyone really have to watch it a few times. (Do you plan to make a sequel?) I really have thought about it, perhaps when we would reach a certain number let's see how we would 'pay the bill'!" He immediately challenged Jeffrey, "Don't make it too big, if we would reach the first HK$ 20 million I would go to train with you for however long you say." Jeffrey joked, "Then if we would reach HK$ 30 MILLION, I would eat 30 eggs in front of everyone." Ivana said, "I believe no one would want to see that." Hin Jai followed, "How about this, when we would reach HK$ 30 million Jeffrey could go to the Peak and run 20 laps, at most I would keep you company." Ivana also said, "Hey, If we would reach HK$ 40 million, since Jeffrey now sells music I will write a song for you!" As for the forecast for work this year, Hin Jai reported "good news" to everyone. "Actually this year's work schedule has already been arranged until the end of the year. At the end of the year I still have a surprise performance for everyone, a collaboration with a special friend. I would discuss the details later. This year I would focus on making more songs and music. After hearing Jeffrey's song, I had a strong sense of danger and would have to catch up!" Still had his blond hair during the photo shoot, Jeffrey said that the next day it would turn black. "Because I took a new role to work with a director I admire very much, the costume could not be blond! (Getting a second movie role so soon, Hin Jai and Ivana seem to be very lucky for you!) Right, but this year I want to spend more time on music, at least I would release three to four songs." With two shows in May, Ivana revealed that she would perform among decorative artwork. "The seats would be few, I hope everyone would get tickets." With New Year traditions, with his Indonesian heritage Jeffrey said to the avid New Year rice cake Hin Jai and Ivan, "You definitely haven't had the traditional Indonesian New Year desserts. It looks like a thousand layer cake but rally is very delicious. (Was there anything special about spending the New Year in Indonesia?) Haha, you really stumped me. However the most memorable was almost all of the family came together for a Lunar New Year dinner, after which everyone went to the Mongkok flower market. With a group of almost 30 years, it was very frightening." The self proclaimed "fish belly", Ivana would play mahjong with her parents and in laws. "I bought a lot of dried fish maw and seafood for my mother in law, so much that she strictly told me not to give anymore. She complained that she couldn't eat them all." * (2023/01/22) Artist Sandy Lau Ching Ting as a founder attended the Mindful Mandarins Limited organized SAKRA (KIU FUNG JUEN)'s film charity screening. Returning from Korea two days ago, lead actor Donnie Yen Chi Tan made a surprise appearance at the audience appreciation event. * (2023/01/21) The Donnie Yen Chi Tan personally produced, directed and starred SAKRA (TIN LUNG BAK BO ji KIU FUNG JUEN) opened around the world. In order to further promote Chinese wuxia film culture with the film, after promoting in Singapore and Singapore earlier and attracting several tens of thousands of fans to fill a shopping center, Chi Tan recently went to Korea to promote the new film. Many Korean actors actually are Chi Tan's fans. They in order to see Chi Tan even came to the promotional event venues. One of the RUNNING MAN hosts Song Ji Hyo after the taping finished even asked Chi Tan for a photo together. As soon as Yen Chi Tan got off the plane fans were already there to welcome him. Actually when IP MAN 4 was released in Korea it remained the top Chinese film at the box office. Thus this trip to Korea has caught attention! Many viewers and media members who have seen the preview screenings praised the action scenes in the film to be stronger than IP MAN. Even more surprisingly many female viewers went to see the film. Yen Chi Tan's charm was so strong that it worked with both genders! On this rare trip to Korea, Yen Chi Tan attracted many Korean actors to come to the event and ask for photos. Ji Seung Hyeon, Sin Seung-hwan, Park Sung-woong and others even waited until Chi Tan finished his promotions to rush over to meet him and take photos. Everyone were very excited to see their idol and all raised their phones for selfies! One of the days on the trip was a fan meeting, which happened to be the birthday of Yen Chi Tan's daughter. Some cute fans were even able to tell when his daughter's birthday was, proving that fans' love for Yen Chi Tan has spread to his family. This time Yen Chi Tan went to Korea and work on the variety program RUNNING MAN. One of the segments on the program was the wooden dummy. After Yen Chi Tan demonstrated, the hosts were left in awe. One of the RUNNING MAN hosts Song Ji Hyo was also a fan of Yen Chi Tan, after the shoot he could not help but ask his idol for a photo together!

Hin Jai joked that this year he had no "kitchen closing" time, as he expected to be busy with audience appreciation events during the Lunar New Year. He would try to do as much as his abilities would allow him to, as he hoped to be able to become a "HK$ 10 million box office actor". This year with many Lunar New Year films in competition, Hin Jai had no upper limit for EVERYTHING's box office. "This time would be my first Lunar New Year film, and my first audience appreciation event. I only set an upper limit for myself, as I hope the box office to exceed HK$ 10 million and in turn making me a HK$ 10 million box office actor." The goal would not be difficult for Hin Jai to reach. He said, "No, ultimately I am a Lunar New Year film newcomer. EVERYTHING's subject is also hard to define because it consists many elements. Other Lunar New Year films are exciting too. When I see other films are working very hard, I too have to step on the gas." Showing off his muscles in the film, Yeung Tin Yue said that he has studied the U.S. Marine's training methods and joked that now during the Lunar New Year he could let go and have a little New Year rice cake. Speaking of Hin Jai's March concerts in England being sold out, with scalpers selling tickets at 4 times the cost, he said, "In the end every place's ticket selling system is different, I would help the fan club set up a ticket selling system and did my best to eradicate scalping, but the system maintenance cost is very high." Would Hin Jai add more shows? He said, "3 shows are enough, actually I would be at my best for two shows. I just recovered and still had a little cough, I am worried about vocal cord exhaustion." * (2023/01/20) The Hins Cheung King Hin, Ivana Wong Yuen Chi, Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun and Michael Ning (Bak Ji) starred Lunar New Year film EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL (CHIU SUN GAING HAI GIP ONG HA) will open on the Lunar New Year's Eve. At the earlier premiere and previews, the scene that got the most enthusiastic audience response was Hin Jai, Jeffrey and Bak Ji streaking across a field. Some fans were left in awe and said that the scene was too overwhelming; some fans said that they laughed the happiest over this scene and some even pointed out that they were in completely different shapes. Hin Jai for his first Lunar New Year film lead gave up his most daring performance in his career. Yesterday on the Lunar 28th he shared behind the scene photos of him and Jeffrey on social media. He humorously wrote, "Today is the Lunar 28th, I found a photo that fits the bill to post." He said that he was considered self confident, daring to remove his clothes next to Jeffrey. "I affected the overall look, sorry." He has always been very conservative in his career and never appeared without cover on camera like this. Inevitably he was a little awkward and unnatural, but the guys were used to be topless since childhood. In addition they watched the result on the spot and everyone thought it was pretty funny. "This scene is decent, full of biology, human body science and other educational meanings, you can see the 3 stages of normal human body development." Hin Jai revealed that before the scene they had a discussion on whether they would need to spend money for computer graphics special effects (to fix their photos). Later they were too cheap to do it. Looking back now, he was extremely suspicious of Jeffrey spending his own money for CG muscles. He welcomed the audience to examine the real deal when the movie would reach the ideal box office. Jeffrey said that he was very nervous while making this scene. Taking off his clothes for the first time on the big screen was rather stressful, he was afraid of not being in good enough shape. After he got the script he already began to train more in order to be in his best shape. He felt that this scene was the farthest he would go in a performance. * (2023/01/20) With the Year of the Rabbit on the way, Irene Wan Bik Ha went to visit a group of bunnies in Tai Po. Currently working in the Mainland, Irene was the happiest that the Mainland and Hong Kong would no longer require quarantine in the Year of the Rabbit. Irene also wished everyone to continue to have freedom, health and happiness! Speaking of plans in the New Year, Irene said that in July or August she would work on a Pang Ho Cheung produced movie about mermaids. Irene reveled that his performance would be different from her past ones. "I really like the script. My earlier performance is more dramatic, this time the character has a little dark humor as well as family nd love. The movie would have many emotional spots, after watching everyone would smile from the heart." Irene drowned when she was little and thus developed a fear of water. This time playing a mermaid she would have to go into the water. She said, "Although I am afraid of water and don't know how to swim, earlier I have worked on some scenes in water and I was able to overcome them. This time as the mermaid I actually wouldn't need to be in the water too much, as some science fiction methods would be used to express them." As for co-stars and the story, she wanted to keep them mysterious but the movie would be about the ocean and planned to shoot on location in Taiwan. In addition, the film that she made last year, LONLEY EIGHTEEN (NGOR MOON DIK SUP BAK SHUI) would open this year and Irene was looking forward to it. * (2023/01/20) The Soi Cheang Pou Soi produced, Wong Hing Fan directed, Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Simon Yam Tat Wa, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Kenny Wong Tak Bun, Megan Lai, Tony Wu Tsz Tung, Zeno Koo Ting Hin and Kathy Yuen (Tong Yee) starred action crime film CYBER HEIST (DUEN MONG) would depict hackers' invasion of an international financial organization with shocking speed and technology.

Kwok Fu Sing hid information and lied to Yam Tat Wa time and again, leading to an intense story. As producer Cheang Pou Soi said, "In criminal cases nowadays, thieves no longer hold an AK rifle to rob a bank or a jewelry store. They have already gone from offline to online and already transferred to internet crimes. Thus our Hong Kong action films also have to transfer their 'base'. The film CYBER HEIST also tried to thoroughly display how hackers invade international financial organization and this criminal internet world." Director Wong Hing Fan also said, "In modern times, crime is very simple. All they have to do is press enter on the keyboard, the internet world actually is very dangerous." Producer Cheang Pou Soi also said to hope through this film the audience would be alerted to internet danger could happen at anytime around us.

As an actor he was able to play the lead and work with Sammi, looking back at his show business career of 20 years was not simple at all. As for becoming the Hong Kong Film Critic Society Best Actress, Sammi admitted the news was sudden. "It was very moved, not from the award but from my years of belief and hard work have been recognized. 22 years ago I won this award with a comedy. This time the character's style was completely different, on the journey of acting I have been lost before, not knowing whether I would be able to perform a little better. I am very happy that hard work would be recognized by others." Sammi wholeheartedly recommended the film to everyone, saying that it was not the usual tear jerking melodrama. Because the character originally was even thinner than Sammi, when she first got the script she took was surprised. Yet looking back now she ran into an old neighbor who was also a woman who have suffered trauma. Thus during the performance she not only expressed herself with body language but also focused on emotional scenes. Would she have even more confident in the upcoming Hong Kong Film Awards? Sammi admitted that it was something that beyond reach. "I don't even dare to think about it, this award is already very touched. It's not like I have won awards before, I hope the most for the audience to be able to see the difference in my performance."
