MISCELLANEOUS * (2023/04/05) Anthony Wong Chau Sun in the film THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET (BAK YUN CHING CHUN) played a middle aged taxi driver who developed a warm and touching interpersonal relationship after running into the Sahal Zaman (Lam Lok) played Pakistani refugee. Although the role was ordinary and his live was simple, many viewers after watching the film praised Chau Sun for his convincing and detailed portrayal. Chau Sun felt that the credit should go to the costume designer, who helped me a lot with the slopping look. In addition professional drivers would be stuck inside the car for a long time and would enjoy a drink, he felt that he could not be without a belly. During the shoot, everyday after work he had two hamburgers. The belly unknowingly appeared. As for playing a grandpa role, he admitted that he was old and did not need to imitate anyone. Chau Sun was not worried that the audience would compare THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET's taxi driver with STILL HUMAN (LUN LOK YUN)'s paralyzed from a workplace accident character. He said that although the two characters were close in age, their backgrounds and personalities were drastically different. For STILL he was able to make himself and the home smelly; for SUNNY he was able to achieve that old age stench, so old that he believed he would die soon. "An earlier examination revealed high blood pressure, now I have to be careful with my diet, pay attention to my health since I am not a kid anymore." Chau Sun said that the film actually was not able a taxi driver, but through this taxi driver bring about a stubborn senior. "This type of unreasonable person, like the series THE GREED OF MEN's Ting Hai. I have seen plenty in my life." As for playing an ordinary taxi driver, Chau Sun felt that it was not particularly difficult. The character itself gave up on himself, very dispirited. When he got to the set, he neglected everything. He did not need to act and joked that he could not be more comfortable. He said, "However I analyzed later and realized that actually the hardest from the beginning to the end was giving up on myself, being sloppy. As an actor I would more or less care about my image. During the performance I would unknowingly fix myself, hoping that I wouldn't be too gross. However this time I am not allowed to." The child actor who worked with Chau Sun, Sahal Zaman (Lam Lok) worked on a movie for the first time. Many actors were afraid of working with children and animals because they were hard to control. They would have bad takes nonstop and go past schedule. Chau Sun said that this time this situation did not appear, and praised Lam Lok as smart and cute. "I don't need to help him. We instead have to learn to be children, not children learning from us. Children's instinct and natural ways are the best. Lam Lok is very cute, his performance is very natural. The first time we met we already had a lot to talk about, we didn't need to build a relationship. During the performance we had great chemistry. As for (Endy) Chow Kwok Yin who played my son, his performance was also decent." In the film he and his son were estranged, but in real life, Chau Sun and his son's relationship has been rather good. Their communication has also been great and they never had any problem. Chau Sun revealed that THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET production process was very smooth, personally he had no major problems and did not have any scene that he felt was hard to play. "For director Lau Kwok Rui it may be hard to make, because this time is his first feature film. His technique isn't too mature yet, but he is very willing to communicate with everyone, listen to everyone's suggestions. I would give him suggestions too, logically ask him whether this was necessary. He had to take care and resolve many problems, so we would help him solve the minor problems and lighten his load." Chau Sun said that to him, the hardest was to have shampoo on his head for hours. He only had very little hair left, so he was pretty afraid that they would fall out too after the shoot. "It wasn't hard, it was tragic." Chau Sun has been in film for decades. Not lacking in stage experience, he admitted that he would very rarely say the script is amazing and had to be made. In the past in order to make a living, some films might not be too attractive but he still took them. He also had several favorite films, included EXILED (FONG JOOK), THE MISSION (CHEUNG FOR), IP MAN: THE FINAL FIGHT (IP MAN: JUNG GIK YUT JIN), and PRINCESS D (SEUNG FEI). He said that THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET was decent. He was very happy to work with new director Lau Kwok Rui and felt that he was very sincere, the script attractive, and the character special. It was a decent experience. * (2023/04/05) MIRROR's Edan Lui Cheuk On and Jer Lau Ying Ting, along with Teresa Mo Shun Kwan, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Jennifer Yu Heung Ying, Wong Yau Nam, Yeung Wai Lun, Bonnie Wong Man Wai, Lau Kong and director Ho Cheuk Tin attended the film OVER MY DEAD BODY (SEI SI SEI SI SEI SUP SEI)'s audience appreciation event. The event scheduled a ceremony at the auspicious time of 4:44 PM on the 4th in response to the film's Chinese title. Edan and Jer pretend to mob the floor with the prop mobs from the film as a representation of crossing the finish line, and bang the gong 4 times to wish for big success for the film. Then they divided into 4 teams for audience appreciation events all over. Earlier Keung To and Anson Lo performed at a music festival. Keung To fans "Keung candies" did not wait for Anson Lo's performance before leaving in droves and seemingly disrespected Anson Lo. Edan said that he was not there, so he was not too sure. Jer stated that if it was true that it would not be too good. Edan said, "Whether it was a fellow member of MIRROR or other singers, we need to respect each other. Everyone has the freedom to choose, if you are busy and leave that is absolutely no problem." Edan described MIRROR as shared-destiny community and cannot be divided. They deeply believed in their unity, if fans would be united as well then it would be even better. MIRROR fans disputes constantly happened, Edan felt that each member had their own ways so he was not at liberty to comment. Privately they have not discussed this topic. He helplessly said, "It's not like fans would listen after we say it, it's a personal choice." They said that they would try to educate their fans. Jer would also be a good role model. "When I watch a show I definitely wouldn't leave in the middle. I would also avoid pictures and interviews, as I would worry that I would affect the guest performers." Speaking of the MIRROR fan meet at the end of next month, reportedly MIRO members would receive live broadcast tickets and watch for free online. Members who were lucky enough to be picked would have to pay another HK$ 480 for admission. Reportedly it was unfair to those who were attending in person. They pointed out that this was the company's standard and they had no right to interfere. They were happy that the online live broadcast would happen. Edan said, "I am not afraid of being unfair, the live atmosphere is ultimately different. Meeting up close is different." Jer joked that he was a small pomato and might not have the ability to demand change from the company. Mo Shun Kwan did not feel the audience appreciation events taking place on "4" related date and time as taboo. "Evil can't triumph over good. I hope the movie would be in theaters for 44 days and we would attend audience appreciation events for all 44 days." Ronald said that the film originally was scheduled for a Lunar New Year release and believed that everyone would understand after watching. Now Easter would be even more suitable. Sister Mo joked, "This movie is made for Easter." She really liked this film's subject, felt it was special, and decent for the box office. The film production process faced a lot of difficulties but in the end they would be able to finish it smoothly. In addition she has heard good word of mouth and felt fantastic. "Before the film started production, I was stuck overseas. However the producer refused to give up. After I returned to Hong Kong and started work we ran into rain season, but we remained unaffected. Whenever we shot on location we had no rain, truly evil could not triumph over good." * (2023/04/05) The film A LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT (DUN FOR LAN SHAN) two nights ago held a special screening. Cast members Cecilia Choi Sze Wan, Henick Chou Hon Ning, Maverick Mak Chau Sing and Mimi Kung Chi Yan attended. Sylvia Chang and Simon Yam Tat Wa were overseas but still sent videos to show their support. Guests included Irene Wan Bik Ha, Larine Tang Yueping, Philip Ng Won Lung and others. Chou Hon Ning with LIGHT was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Award Best New Performer. He said that this film would be very important to him. He has waited for so long that he felt a little stressed. He also was very emotional as the film would open soon. Instead he would treat his New Performer nomination normally. He looked forward to good reviews the most. However would he accept any critique on his performance? He stated that his heart was very strong and would be able to, in addition opinions would be able to make him improve. Choi Sze Wan has not yet felt the pressure of her new film's opening. She was the happiest about Sylvia Chang and Chou Hon Ning's Hong Kong Film Award nominations, especially Chou Hon Ning who already exceeded his class in his first film. While watching the film his performance even moved her to tears. The most memorable was working on the scene in which she scolded Chou Hon Ning for contributing to Sylvia Chang's delinquency. The scene required her to scold him for several minutes in one take. Fortunately only after one or two bad takes it was done. As for her own lack of nomination, she admitted that she never thought about it and would not be disappointed. The focus of the film was on Sylvia Chang's experience of losing a mate. Mak Chau Sing brought his wife Kathy Yuen (Tong Yee) to attend his first movie's preview screening. Tong Yee said that earlier at another preview she has already enjoyed it. She certainly would give her husband a full score. Chau Sing also said that his wife has always had nothing but praise for him. Would her husband really flawless? Tong Yee said, "If I have to complain I would say that he is too 'free' normally, maybe I am too anxious. I have to praise though that he has been learning to cook lately. Men who are willing to cook are very rare." Chau Sing said that he would cook for his wife as well as his daughter, otherwise he would have no position at home. In particular his wife knew how to bake cakes, he only knew how to dance. He just wanted to learn another skill. Tong Yee has been taste testing her husband's finished products, including eggs cooked in different ways and nine different soup. However her husband was the one who ended up gaining weigh. During photo sessions he had to suck in his belly. Chau Sing jokingly asked his wife to remember to take him along when she would go running. * (2023/04/05) The 68 year old Brigitte Lin (Lam Ching Ha) two days ago received a honorary social science doctorate degree at the Hong Kong University, and was called "a figure Hong Kong film cannot be without". Lam Ching Ha after accepting the honorary doctorate degree with a smile turned around and bowed to the guests in the audience. The audience responded with applause and cheers. Lam Ching Ha said, "I hope that I would be able to express a part of this noble love through words, so this world would become even better." Lam Ching Ha also posted on social media after receiving the honor. "Thank you Hong Kong University for presenting me with this honorary social science doctorate degree. To be able to receive the honorary doctorate degree with six outstanding people who have made incredible contributions to the world was beyond anything I could have dreamed of. My mother in her youth, due to war and a variety of reasons, was unable to complete her education. This was the greatest regret of her life, so she had a special connection to doctors. Now one day her daughter actually became a doctor, I believe she in Heaven must be able to feel an enormous comfort. The Hong Kong University is an internationally renowned higher education institution. For me to receive such a recognition from it, I am truly very, very honored. I must contribute my best self and do more socially meaning things. This way I would be able to live up to the expectation the Hong Kong University has of me." Lam Ching Ha in 1973 with the Chiung Yao film OUTSIDE THE WINDOW became an overnight sensation in Taiwan. She was only 19 at the time, and since has been firmly planted in show business for half a century. Lam Ching Ha over the years has received many awards, including the 22nd Asia Pacific Film Festival Best Actress and the 27th Golden Horse Award bst Actress. She eased out of entertainment and transitioned into an author, and her work also has received many literary awards. * (2023/04/05) The 36th global film and television art Huading Awards earlier took place at the Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles. Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin with DETECTIVE VS. SLEUTHS (SUN TAM DAI JIN) received the Chinese language film Best Actress. Louis Koo Tin Lok with WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) won Best Actor. Ah Sa was very grateful to win another Best Actress award and promised that she would repay the audience with even better films. She first thanked the Huading Awards and all the judges, then she thanked "director Wai Ka Fai, screenwriters Chan Wai Bun, Mak Tin Siu, producer Chu Suk Yee, thank you to the entire team, thank you all the actors. To be able to receive everyone's help and recognition, to be able to work with such an excellent team, it is something very lucky on my journey as an actor. I would carry a grateful heart, fighting determination and continue to bring even more exciting characters and films to life." Ah Sa said that this year she would have many film releases. "I would put even more time on film, coming up would be THE GOLDFINGER (GUM SAU JI). I would also work on NEW POLICE STORY 2 (SUN GAING CHAK GOO SI 2). I hope to have even more good movies to bring to everyone." * (2023/04/04) MIRROR's 4 most popular members Ian Chan Cheuk Yin, Edan Lui Cheuk On, Anson Lo (Cult Leader) and Keung To were invited to participate in the two night outdoors music festival performance in West Kowloon. Three nights ago Ian and Edn performed, two nights ago Anson Lo, Keung To along with Charmaine Fong Ho Man, On Chan Kin On, independent group R.O.O.T, TomFatKi, Matt Force and others. However on both days fans blasted MIRROR fans online for not respecting other singers! Before MIRROR members appeared, MIRROR fans did not enter the venue. They would rather gather outside and chat, and thus creating a lot of empty space in the audience. After Keung To's performance "Keung candies" were witnessed to leave en masse, leaving Anson Lo to perform to empty chairs. Two nights ago was Keung To official return to the stage since his leg injury. In the rain he danced and sang with the dancers and heated up the entire atmosphere. He was sweating bullets from his performance, even his headset got tied up into knots and the crew to had to fix it on stage. Although he did not speak, after the performance he gave a bow to the fans. Then Anson Lo performed MR. STRANGER. He said to his fans, "I really miss you, working hard for people who like me is worth it!" When Anson Lo appeared "Keung candies" rapidly left in droves. Because of the sheer number it became a line, severely interfering with the line of vision of "disciples" who had their hearts set on supporting the Cult Leader. Someone kept screaming, "Leaving is fine, would you please duck down." "I came to watch the show, not people's heads, please lower your body". However "Keung candies" ignored the "pleas" and just kept going, enraging the "disciples" who criticized "Keung candies" for their selfish behavior and again proved their lack of "team spirit". Later many "disciples" and MIRROR fans on MIRROR groups went on a war path. "The fact is tonight people who were leaving affected my enjoyment of the show. Here I would only say what I saw, but people say I deliberately come here to make noise, saying I wasn't there." "I said several time, could you duck down and walk, everyone ignored me and kept talking on the phone" Some MIRROR fans said, "On the show on the 1st, honestly when Edan appeared people stood up. I asked people to sit down and they really did. So I was very grateful." MIRROR fans who have watched both shows said that the night with Ian and Edan, the fans were fine and supported each other's idols. there was no sign of a fan exodus. Ian, Edan and Anson Lo privately asked fans to support other group mates. In comparison "Keung candies" were more self centered, some MIRROR fans even revealed, "I don't know whether Keung To has asked Keung candies to have team spirit, but I see Keung To's group only asked Keung candies to send videos back to it." After the show Keung To and Anson Lo spoke to the press separately. Keung To said that he was sorry for putting his fans under a lot of pressure. "The bow was for them and people who criticized me during this period. Everyone criticized very well, I hope from now now I would be able to make everyone proud of me more." He said that his foot injury was almost completely healed. He also said that the new film WE 12 (12 GWAI DOH) has already completed the table read and would start production soon. The 12 were very happy to be able to make a movie together. "My character has to fight a little, I don't know if it would be considered super power. The film would be a little more exaggerated." He also hoped that his fashion label would be released within the month. Anson Lo just returned from working on a movie in Japan and would continue to work on it in Hong Kong. At the same time he would have to work on WE 12, but he stressed that every week he would have a day off. Speaking of MIRROR's rumored "fan exodus", he said, "I know fans still gives me unyielding support, lately the support strength has been very strong. So when I see them I have to thank them, and express that I really love them." * (2023/04/04) Sam Hui Koon Kit's Hong Kong Coliseum concert series would take place starting April 7th. 3 days away from the 7 show performance, Song God Hui Koon Kit has been rehearsing intensely in hopes of welcoming the concert at his best and bringing exciting and memorable performances to the audience. The opening show concert guest on April 7th would be Terence Lam Ka Him, on April 8th and 9th would be Hins Cheung King Hin and Serrini respectively. On the 10th would be post 80s singer Jolie Chan Hoi Tung and Georgina Henderson, a student of Hui Koon Kit's long time friend Christine Samson (former band D'Topnotes member). On April 11th and 12th the guests would be Gigi8 Leung Wing Kei and Leo Ku Kui Ke respectively. Among the guest lists were singers Hui Koon Kit have known for a long time, and new generation singers who would work with Hui Koon Kit for the first time. Sam said that he really admired the new generation singers and hoped that they would keep up their effort and bring Hong Kong even more original Cantonese songs. The cross generational Cantonese song exchange made people look forward to what kind of spark Hui Koon Kit and each junior colleague would set off on the stage. Lam Ka Him and Serrini would work with Sam for the first time. During rehearsal they became little fans and took photos with Sam. Serrini joked that she was the most afraid of saying something wrong on the stage, like asking Sam Gor whether he likes Lam Ka Him or her as his guest. * (2023/04/03) MIRROR's Edan Lui Cheuk On and Ian Chan Cheuk Yin, Kaho Hung, Ivana Wong Yuen Chi two nights ago performed at the POPFEST HKT West Kowloon Music Festival. Edan wore a hair clip and performed girl group Lolly Talk's TRIPLE SWEETNESS, played cute and danced for fans. He even brought out the MIRROR's "fan exodus" wave, clarifying that he never admitted it. He felt that even if someone wanted to it would be their personal choice. Fan would come and go, so they did not need to deliberately try to bring back fans who left. Chan Cheuk Yin revealed that he wanted to perform a solo concert and hoped that it would happen this year. Ian and Edan performed at the festival. Ian first performed 6 songs. He said that he has not sung so many in a very long time, so he was a little nervous. He admitted that he really wanted to perform a solo concert because he had many songs that he created. He knew their concept and progression and wanted the opportunity to perform them live. He hoped to be able to do it this year. Would he hope the company to promote his songs more? Ian said, "The company would, I haven't deliberately reflected that to the company. The fans would. I would focus on the music, I believe the company would promote for me." Speaking of the MIRROR movie WE 12 (12 GWAI DOH), Ian revealed that his character would be more mild mannered, rely on his mind and not need to fight. He revealed that he would have a car chase scene. "I am very exciting. When I had meetings with the car stunt team I already thought it would be a lot of fun. I am not worried about the danger and would take all the safety measures." Edan followed. Host Thor Lok Chun Wai first asked the audience to listen to Edan's recording. Edan in a deep voice said, "Hi everyone, I am Edan. Suddenly I don't feel so well, I may not be able to see everyone." Then he joked, "Happy April Fools' Day, I can't stand it anymore." When he appeared on the stage, the evening was brought to its climax. He sked, "Did anyone believe it? No? Come on! I thought of many pranks, like the microphone has no sound, the piano has no sound, but no one would believe it. Maybe I cried wolf too many times." He played and sang MR. E'S SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, then he sang TRIPLE SWEETNESS and put on hair clips with the dancers to sing and dance. They played cute for the fans and made them scream. After that he thanked the dancers for accepting his shameless request. Edan brought up the reported MIRROR "fan exodus". "Lately the 'fan exodus' has been talked about. I never admitted it, but many facebook posts say Edan admitted the 'fan exodus'. That doesn't matter, don't get mad. However 'fan resignation' is a personal choice, 'resigned fans' still exists in the universe of love." He then sang LOVERSE and closed out the performance with MY APPLE PIE. Edan said that on a rare April Fools' Day show, he was having a little "fool" fun with everyone. However no one believed it. Speaking of the MIRROR "fan exodus", Edan clarified, "The last time I was asked whether there was a 'fan exodus', I said, "Really? I don't know.' but that was misunderstood. That doesn't matter though, I would say it gain. I don't feel there is a 'fan exodus'. This comment is because I saw some people selling several fan support photos on social media, it's not a collective phenomenon. From the start to now we have had fans who would no longer follow us. I don't feel it's a big deal. We don't feel there really is a 'fan exodus'." How would he bring the fans back? Edan felt that there would be no need. Fans are still here, they come and go. "Why not say how to get more fans, keep making the work better and more good songs. Like this show has other singers' fans, they feel I danced pretty well, pretty funny. Each performance is a valuable opportunity, I wouldn't plan to get fans." He revealed that later MIRROR would appear at an event in its entirety. * (2023/04/03) Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Anita Yuen Wing Yee, Leo Ku Kui Ke, Kenny Bee (Chung Chun To) and other singers two nights ago took part in Miss You Much Leslie Concert 2023, the concert to remember the late superstar Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing on the 20th anniversary of his passing. Sing Sing as the final performer performed MONICA and WHO CAN RELATE to bring the evening to its climax. He admitted that he felt honored to have been a dancer for Gor Gor. In his heart Gor Gor was the genuine king of dance, no one would be able to replace him. Chi Lam and Len Len appeared as a couple, Len Len shared her memories of her, her husband and Gor Gor as a trio. She also joked that her husband was jealous of Gor gor, which made Chilam missed his cue for his LEFT RIGHT HAND performance. Two nights ago many in the industry participated. Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Carina Lau Ka Ling, Sandra Ng Kwan Yu and others shot videos to remember Gor Gor. Lau Ka Ling said, "You and I ran into each other without schedule, entering into each other's lives; yet early summer that year, you left without saying goodbye. Between you and me we had a lot of history. When I see peach blossoms, I would think for you tenderness; when I return to my old home, I would remember the warmth of me and you as neighbors; when I see sunshine, I would feel your warmth. Now I am looking back gain, 'You left but have spread everywhere'. Leslie, thank you for adding familiarity to everything in life." Gor Gor's companion Daffy Tong Hok Tang before the end of the concert remembered Gor Gor with the audience over a voice recording. The event paired it with photos from Gor Gor and Tong Tong's life. Tong Tong said, "An ancient saying goes, longevity is those who died but aren't dead. Actually death isn't an end, being forgotten is. Very fortunately, Gor Gor in his 20 some years of performance life performed many deeply memorable characters; sang many songs that tug at the heart strings; and left behind many slutty, pretty, cool, and mean stage performance, all these have become our collective memory. Even more fortunately is, Gor Gor had a group of friends and fans who love him, cherish him and miss him so much. I hereby represent Gor Gor in sincerely thanking everyone. Today is a special day. We should take this opportunity tonight (April 1st) to relive Gor Gor's past together, continue to miss you much, Leslie." Sing Sing while performing MONICA deliberately followed Gor Gor's stage presence exactly, after which he even pointed to the sky as a salute and blew a kiss. He said that for 20 years Gor Gor had remained in his heart. In 1986 his first show in the business was the Po Keung charity show, and he was lucky enough to perform with Gor Gor. "At the time I was a dancer, I felt very honored and happy because I have danced for Gor Gor." Sing Sing praised Gor Gor for treating the dancers very well and even took them to dinner. He said, "Gor Gor smiled and said to dancers to put in the effort. I really have put in the effort. Although it was so many years ago, I believe fans around the world still love Leslie very much." Sing Sing admitted that Gor Gor in his heart was the genuine king of dance, no one would be able to replace him. Later Sing Sing also performed WHO CAN RELATE, as a giant red origami crane rose to the center of the stage. He said that this song was Gor Gor's first Gold Song award. At the time Gor Gor got teary eyed while singing. thus he promised everyone that from then on when he sang this song he had to be happy. He then led the crowd into clapping and singing along. When Chilam and Len Len appeared as a couple. Len Len between songs spoke of in 1986 when she went to see Gor Gor's Hong Kong Coliseum concert for the first time at age 15. She was so excited that she got stomach cramps, after half the show she had to leave in pain to the hospital. She never thought tht this half a show would begin their destiny. Then Chilam sang DESTINY. Len Len continued, "In 1993 I worked with Gor Gor for the first time on HE IS A WOMAN, SHE IS A MAN (GUM JI YUK YIP). We ended up working together for 5 times, each time as a couple but someone got jealous. I remember when HE was released, Gor Gor, Chilam and I after dinner went to the movies to see the audience reaction together. At the time I felt I was the luckiest woman in the entire world, because my left hand was holding Mr. Cheung, and my right hand was also holding Mr. Cheung." The audience screamed and even Chilam laughed while performing LEFT RIGHT HAND and missed his cue. Len Len then said, "On April 1st, 2003, after work when I drove home and heard about the news of Gor Gor's passing on the radio, I sat in the car for a very, very long time. The slope home felt very distant, never ending no matter how much I walked. Everything went dark in front of my eyes. I got home and sat on the sofa, as the past flashed in front of my eyes." Chilam then sang WHERE ARE YOU, Len Len said that 20 years later today the world has already changed a lot. The only thing that has not changed was the thoughtful ones still loved Gor Gor. She said, "His smile, laughter and singing would forever live in everyone's hearts. The green mountain remains, after several sunset.....red." Chilam proceeded to sing RED for the conclusion. Considered himself a contemporary of Gor Gor, Ah B said that they have worked together on several movies. They included THE CHINESE FEAST (GUM YUK MOON TONG), EAGLE SHOOTING HEROES (DONG SING SAI JAU), and THE NINTH HAPPINESS (GAU SING BO HEI). In particular he remembered while working on NINTH, he was at the lowest point of his life. However someone still approached him to make a Lunar New Yer film, which he felt very encouraged by. "Several years ago I chatted with NINTH producer (Raymond) Wong Pak Ming, who mentioned that back then actually Gor Gor recommended me for the role and saved the part for me. Thus it went from EIGHTH to NINTH, I am very grateful to have had such a good friend." After the concert ended, the singers took a photo backstage with Chan Suk Fun. Sing Sing said that he and Gor Gor had too many memories. "I remember when I first started, Gor Gor was already a superstar. However he didn't put on any air at all, he really took care of the dancers. Now I still treat dancers very well. I feel this is the spirit that got passed on." Sing Sing said that he chose to sing MONICA and WHO CAN RELATE, because the two songs had special meaning. Speaking of Len Len sharing her experience of going to watch HE IS A WOMAN at the movies, Chilam said that back then indeed was very interesting. As for whether Chilam was jealous of Gor Gor, he paused for awhile before saying, "I think I was, but it was already a very longtime ago. Now looking back it was very sweet, because it wasn't the feeling of a couple but everyone were great friends." Cheung Kwok Wing's Universal Record two nights ago held a tribute concert. Two new generation singers Gigi Yim Ming Hay and Mike Tsang Pei Tak's performance was sharp. Aside from singing DESTINY together, they individually sang two songs. Tsang Pei Tak sang and danced to NO HEART TO SLEEP and received a passionate response. Andy Hui Chi On returned to the concert stage for the first time since the "On Sum incident". When he appeared the audience applauded, and fans screamed his name as encouragement. Later after he, Edmond Leung Hon Man and William So Wing Hong sang LEFT RIGHT HAND, he flashed a smile as if he breathed a sigh of relief. Leung Hon Man said that the first time he saw Gor Gor was when he guest starred in WHO'S THE WOMAN WHO'S THE MAN (GUM JI YUK YIP 2). "What did you think Gor Gor say as soon as he saw me?" He sang Leung's song TENDER GAME. "Then he pat me on the shoulder and said, 'Leung Hon Man, my heart is as sweet as after having ten pieces of candy.'" Earlier renewing her contract with Universal, AGA performed REFUSE TO PLAY AGAIN, LITTLE STAR and SOMEONE WITH HEART. * (2023/04/02) Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the late music superstar Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing (Gor Gor)'s passing. Memorial events were everywhere. Joyce Cheng Yun Yi, Vivian Chow Wai Man, and Dicky Cheung Wai Kin last night performed at the Hong Kong Coliseum memorial concert. Tony Leung Chiu Wai even recorded a video about Gor Gor. Many singers got misty eyed during their performance. Yesterday different memorial events for Cheung Kwok Wing took place all over Hong Kong. Gor Gor's beloved Daffy Tong Hok Tak in the early morning posted many old photos of Gor Gor with a verse from WHO CAN RELATE. Last night the star studded Miss You Much Leslie Concert 2023 took place at the Hong Kong Coliseum. The stage was simply decorated, with many giant red roses on its sides. The event first played SEASONS to open the show, a video from Gor Gor's friend Tony Leung Chiu Wai. He lightly spoke of how much he missed Gor Gor. "In the spr8ng of 90, you and I worked together for the first time. You became the Best Actor; in the fall of 94, you taught me to bury a watermelon in the desert. You always had endless mischievous ideas; in winter 96, you promised me to go to Iguazu. In the end only one made it; in summer 01, you personally presented the award to me, and I kept the promise between me and you on the stage. All the seasons of the past, the highs and lows, rises and falls you were all there. Today let us experience your seasons anew." Sandra Ng Kwan Yu said, "When I was 14, you appeared in my youth. Thank you, my dream love; when I first got into the business, you put me in your music video. Thank you, my music video lover; the inspiration of love, the spring of career, they were all because of you. On the journey I witnessed your legend. Now one and all they have become a legend. I really wish you can personally......'start from the beginning tell me in details, those days of being dumb and dull, happy and lost you were like mad.'" Louis Koo Tin Lok said, "The autumn wind carried away the best leaf, but leave my memories of you. A radio interview in 94, you and I have never met, but you made all of Hong Kong know my name. The one mention was extraordinarily meaningful to me. I know you still had any unfulfilled director dream, but I want to say, my life's screenplay has been rewritten because of what you said. Thank you, Gor Gor. Thank you, Director Cheung." Later the concert official began, Joyce Cheng Yun Yi in black feather evening wear opened the show with the film A BETTET TOMORROW's theme song PAST YEAR LOVE and got teary eyed. She said that she chose this song. "I hope through Gor Gor's music and videos, I can feel being shoulder to shoulder with him." Later Dicky Cheung Wai Kin, who won the New Talent contest with Gor Gor's LOVE CROSS performed many hits, when he performed the last one he tearfully raised his head and stared sentimentally. The group Supper Moment performed THE DUKE OF MOUNT DEER theme song and SILENT SWIM UPSTREAM. STARS ACADEMY'S Yumi Chung Yau Man, Windy Zhan Tian Wen performed fast songs STAND UP and IN YOUNG GIRL'S HEART. Another New Talent winner Patrick Tam Yiu Man after singing REFUSE TO PLAY AGAIN performed WILD WIND with the STARS ACADEMY singer. Tam Yiu Man said that he got into the business because of Gor Gor, and was very grateful to him. "Tonight I really have to thank Gor Gor, because when I was little I really worshipped him. Otherwise I wouldn't have the courage to take part in New Talent and get into the business. You don't need many idols, the most important is Gor Gor." Vivian Chow Wai Man sang the song Gor Gor wrote for her IF YOU KNEW MY GOOD INTENTION. She thanked Gor Gor for lifting her up. With To Chi Chi on hand as well, she felt even warmer; he tailored FAITHFUL ME for her to adapt. Alan Po (Bo Chi Lun) performed SIDE VIEW and BLACK NIGHT, then with Phil Lam Yik Hon he sang SILENCE IS GOLDEN. Then he performed THINKING OF YOU. Gin Lee sang CHASE and PASS BY DRAGONFLY. The concert boss Chan Suk Fun yesterday afternoon led a worship ceremony outside the Coliseum with participating singers Kenny Bee (Chung Chun To), Nadia Chan Chung Ling and others. Mrs. Chan got choked up several times while speaking to the media. When asked whether she was worried about comparisons outside with the other Gor Gor memorial concert last night, she said, "If everyone likes to compare then compare, both come from the heart." Chan Chung Ling admitted that during rehearsal she broke down. She also said that each guest would receive a gold origami crane and a coin with Gor Gor's side view. On the coin would also be the guest's birthday. In addition, one of Gor Gor's record label Universal released REMEMBERING LESLIE memorial album this year and invited many new generation singers and groups to remake Gor Gor's classic songs as tributes. Last night the label held REMINISCING LESLIE LIVE in Wan Chai. Leon Lai Ming, Kelly Chen Wai Lam, Andy Hui Chi On, Gigi Leung Wing Kei, AGA (Kong Hoi Ka), Alex Lam Tak Shun, William So Wing Hong, Edmond Leung Hon Man, two STARS ACADEMY champions Gigi Yim Ming Hay and Jasmine Yam Hoi Ching, XiX, Mike Tsang Pei Tak, P1X3L, JNYBetz, Kerryta Chau Chi Hom, Rock Hill Street and others took turns to perform Gor Gor's hits. Taking place at the Convention Center last night, the concert began around 8:30PM. The event began with a black and white photo of Cheung Kwok Wing and many of his songs. Lai Ming in a black suit opened at the center of the stage, first performing Cheung Kwok Wing's hit PAST YEAR LOVE. The screen also played Gor Gor's old photos in remembrance. As soon as Lai Ming sang, the audience already passionately applauded and cheered. Then the screen turned into a star lit background as Lai Ming performed Gor Gor's favorite STAR. Finally Lai Ming sang FALLEN FOR YOU. When the music rose the audience already cheered. Gor Gor also appeared on the screen in the song's music video and even had scenes with Anita Mui Yim Fong. After the three songs Lai Ming bowed to the audience and said, "Thank you, to all the guests in the audience tonight, thank you!" Leung Wing Kei followed with a performance of SIDE VIEW. She said, "Cheung Kwok Wing was an one of a kind artist, he was charming, kind and made great contributions to film and music. Like everyone I miss him very much. I dedicate this song LONELY NIGHT to everyone!" Lam Tak Shun sang LONELINESS IS HAZARDOUS, then STARS ACADEMY 2 girl group XiX performed MISS YOU MUCH, Rock Hill Street and JNY performed COUNTDOWN WITH YOU. Kelly performed for the first time since her accident last year. After performing TENDER LOVE SWEET INTENTION she said, "Gor Gor and I worked together not on but off screen. In 2000 when (Aaron) Kwok Fu Sing and I worked together on AND I HATE YOU SO (SIU CHUN CHUN), which was Yee Chung Man directed. Gor Gor and Yee Chung Man were good friends, so he invited Gor Gor to teach me acting. Hearing it now it sounded incredible. I went with Yee Chung Man, (Claudie) Chung Chun to Gor Gor's Kadoorie Hill home for lessons. Gor Gor was very efficient, taught me several major scenes. He clicked right away and came up with minor details for us. The whole thing was very well rounded. If back then if my collaboration with Gor Gor wasn't behind the scene but in front, not for a movie but for this song, wouldn't it be even better?" She then said WHO MADE YOU OBSESSED. As she left the stage she said, "I really miss Gor Gor!" After a round of Gor Gor's hits, the event again showed Gor Gor's long hair concert video. Then Leung Hon Man sang MISSING YOU and his contest winning song RUNNING TOWARD FUTURE DAYS. So Wing Hong after THE COLDEST DAY said that he had his own agenda when picking the song. Hui Chi On after the "On Sum incident" returned to the stage for the first time. He in a white suit sang CHASE. The audience applauded and gave an overwhelming response. He said, "Thank you, thank you Leslie!" Hui Chi On, So Wing Hong and Leung Hon Man sang LEFT RIGHT HANDS together and received applause. The tense Hui Chi On also seemed to relax as he flashed a smile. Yim Ming Hay performed THIS LIFETIME and PASS BY DRAGONFLY, then with Tsang Pei Tak she sang DESTINY. Tsang Pei Tak sang NO HEART TO SLEEP and WHO CAN RELATE; AGA sang REFUSE TO PLAY AGAIN, LITTLE STAR and SOMEONE WITH HEART. Finally the event played Gor Gor's SEASONS to bring the memorial concert to a close. * (2023/04/02) Last night many places held memorial events for Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing. Around 6:43 PM (when Gor Gor passed away), Gor Gor's former manager Chan Suk Fun outside the Hong Kong Coliseum held a moment of silence with 800 fans; at the Cultural Center in Tsim Sha Tsui fans also organized Timeless Leslie 20th anniversary evening, with 2,000 fans from around the world on hand. The event played a montage of Gor Gor's past video clips, and the never before released English single A SONG FOR YOU's music video. Many fans were moved to tears. Gor Gor passed away at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Outside the hotel several hundred fans gathered, with the line extending all the way to Chater Garden. The presents fans brought were thoughtful, including a two meter tall origami crane tree that was filled with red origami cranes that represented Gor Gor. Two men performed on the streets near the hotel, playing Gor Gor's classic songs on saxophone and drew many onlookers. * (2023/04/02) Pat Ha Man Jik and Cecilia Yip Tung's first film NOMAD (LIT FOR CHING CHUN) worked with Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing. Two nights ago Ha Man Jik and her niece Irina Tang Yee Ting attended the film's 4K restored director's cut premiere. Founded a media company in Guangzhou, Ha Man Jik said that she hoped to make a movie with her niece Tang Yee Ting. She praised her niece for being in better shape than she was. With both looks and character, her niece would be able to be in a movie that would be as forward as NOMAD. She joked that first and foremost her niece would not take any money. She said that she was very happy about her first film from 40 years ago would be re-released, but she has never thought about it as it felt like a dream. In addition many of Gor Gor's memories flooded back into her heart. Because when she made the movie she was still a newcomer who knew nothing at all, "Gor Gor helped me a lot, reminding and teaching me in many places." She was able to improve very fast and has always missed Gor Gor. Thus when the event invited her, she returned to Hong Kong without a second thought. Yip Tung said that the re-release of this film after over 40 years gave her a very wonderful feeling because she got into show business with this film, which also became her primary profession. She recalled that because the film was too forward at the time, it was banned for several months. Yip Tung said that back then film still did not have a three category rating system. Although at the time NOMAD did not perform well at the box office but because of its daring and forward subject, every year since then film festivals would select it for screening. At the time she went from modeling to take her first step into film, she did not understand what acting was. She only learned to follow the director's request and act. She also had no baggage. Only after the film was released and she got attention did she learn to be afraid. Speaking of 20 years since Gor Gor's passing, Yip Tung lamented that time went by very fast. A lot have happened over these years. She also attended many Gor Gor related memorial events this week. "Gor Gor was very famous, very popular, because of a lot of problems he left us; which made me realize that I should cherish and actively face my own life even more." * (2023/04/01) MIRROR member Jer Lau Ying Ting participated in the film OVER MY DEAD BODY (SEI SI SEI SI SEI SUP SEI) and performed the theme song SALTED FISH GAME. Working with lyricist Wyman Wong for the first time, he sang the helplessness of Hong Kong people who turned into "salted fish" in order to buy a home. In the lyrics "salted fish" referred to the modern city people who were only busy at work. While working hard to pay off their homes they often forgot their dreams. Jer said, "When I go the lyrics I felt very surprised, the 'salted fish' in the song reminded people a famous line in a (Stephen) Chow Sing Chi movie, 'If people have no dream in life, how are they any different from salted fishes'. I felt that Wyman wanted to remind the modern city people, not to continue to live in this type of condition. Like me, if you like to sing and dance then do it, don't be someone without any flesh or blood." Jer felt that the challenge of singing this song was rather large, because the tempo was very hard to grasp. He spent about two days before he was able to catch it accurately. The song had many half steps, the last part even had to reach high notes. In the end the singing had to go very far. "It's like using the last of the strength to singing out the message of the song." The line, "all salted fish, be fresh once again" was the entire song's theme, like it wanted to wake up people who were asleep to find something that their hearts longed for. He said, "When I sang it I was really able to get into the mood. I have liked to sing since I was little, I have experienced days of being a salted fish. My first job wasn't one that I liked, at the time in order to make a living for the family and pay the mortgage, everyday I worked like a cog. Luckily in the end I ran into a competition that changed my destiny, and I finally was able to leave this 'Salted Fish Game'." * (2023/04/01) Anson Lo and Edan Lui Cheuk On yesterday attended an event. Just returning from Japan, Anson Lo said that shooting all night in Japan was rather tough. Luckily he was able to get half a day off to shop like crazy for stress relief. Speaking of the group's rumored "fan exodus", they along with other MIRROR members in May would perform in Malaysia to attract "new fans" outside Hong Kong! Guy group MIRROR's Anson Lo and Keung To two nights ago returned from Japan, with almost 100 fans at the airport to welcome them. Anson Lo saw fans, stopped to greet them and met heart gestures. Keung To got into his vehicle in seconds. The next day Anson Lo, Edan and Ian appeared at a theme park event. Speaking of Anson Lo and Edan working on their film DOH YUET JEH in Japan, the former revealed that the schedule was very tight. "Most of the film would be at night, we shot from 6PM to before dawn. Going all night was tough." Luckily he had half a time out of the tight production schedule for shopping, but Edan asked, "Really half a day? Wasn't it more than half a day?" Anson Lo explained, "Earlier I had one day that wasn't as crazy, that half a day was crazier. I really bought stuff on that half a day. (How much did you spend?) I didn't count, money isn't everything. The amount wouldn't be too big." Speaking of DOH's director Steve Yuen Kim Fai being accused of plagiarism in his music video, Edan said, "I didn't directly ask him, during the shoot I didn't want to affect his mood. I saw him keep working so he was probably OK." In addition, the two and their group mates in May will be at a concert in Malaysia, hoping to have the chance to meet with fans there and introduce MIRROR to even more people. Was it due to the recent "fan exodus" that they wanted to explore the overseas market? Anson Lo asked whether the "exodus" was real or fake. "I haven't been paying special attention to any loss." Edan said, "It's not because of that we are going to other places to bring in fans, we aren't that amazing. I wouldn't feel if I go to another place I would be able to, I am not that great." As for fans who were upset that the May Hong Kong fan meet's fees and arrangements, were they worried that the negative news would cause the "exodus? Anson Lo admitted, "For fan meets of course the more people the better, the greater the venue the better, but we have a lot of restrictions. It's not something those in our position would be able to resolve." Edan would like to see all of the fans the most and no one would need to spend too much. "I hope in the future the company could buy a very large venue." * (2023/04/01) Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Ian Chan Cheuk Yin, Kayan9896 (Jeannie Ng Ka Yan), Angus Yeung Tin Yue, Elly Lam Sum Yee and others two nights go attended a fashion label's pop up concept store opening ceremony. Sammi said that she would not mind the challenge of any look; as for her husband Andy Hui Chi On's return to the stage, she would be fully supportive and said that she was able to see On Jai did all his homework for this performance. Speaking of the Hong Kong Film Awards being half a month away, Sammi revealed that she still has not prepared what to wear because she had to finish the jobs on her hand first. Later she would have to fly overseas, so she would leave the task to her image designer. Would she have time to prepare for her summer concerts? Sammi revealed that the preparation was heating up. She was considering the stage concept, the rundown and the guest list. Would she invite MIRROR to guest perform again? She said getting all 12 would probably be very hard, since each of them would be busy on their own. Looking back at the collaboration 4 years ago, it was indeed very valuable and rare. Whether colleagues or rising singers, guest presenters were all very valuable to her. Speaking of On Jai returning to the stage for the first time after the "On Sum Incident", he would participate in the April 1st Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing memorial concert. As his wife has she given him any support? Sammi said, "Actually everyday together is mutual support. As for how to face the crowd and perform on the stage, I couldn't help. He would rely on himself, but I am able to see that he has done his homework fully for this performance." Ian at the event ran into Sammi and Sammi even wrapped her arm around his, which made him happy like crazy. He said, "My hands are really shaking, I am really very happy. After being her concert guests years go, we haven't seen each other in a very long time. (Would you offer to be her summer concert guest?) I really want to! I would clear my schedule for that, because I am truly very grateful for the opportunity Sister Sammi gave MIRROR several years ago." Ian spoke for the first time about what happened earlier at the JJ Lin concert. He admitted that he rehearsed but in the end it did not happen. It was a misunderstanding in communication, which was very regrettable because being a guest performer for a singer like JJ was a very rare opportunity that he looked forward to. He also felt very excited and kept preparing hard for it. However he thought that everything was fate, and he looked forward to the next time they would have the opportunity to work together. As for accusation that he stopped following JJ on social media because he was mad, he explained that he only followed people he has met in person or people he has worked with. At first he thought that they would work together so he followed him. It was a habit and no disrespect was intended. He stressed that online and reality were two different matter. In addition, fans were rumored to be upset at MIRROR's official meeting fees and quota, Ian said that he was not sure about the arrangement but thank fans for their endless love. He also blew kisses to the fans on hand. However fans reportedly were upset that the 12 were hardly ever together and an exodus has begun, Ian although has not heard the rumor either said that privately the members have all expressed hope to the company for more opportunities for the entire group to be together. They were even willing to reduce their individual events. * (2023/04/01) Mike Tsang Pei Tak, Candy Cheung (Man Suet Yee), Andrew Yuen Man Kit, internationally renowned designer Alan Chan Yu-chien and choreographer Chris Choi yesterday attended the "Timeless Leslie Encounter" forum and remembered "Gor Gor" Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing on the 20th anniversary of his passing with "Gor" fans. Tsang Pei Tak performed Gor Gor's song WHO CAN RELATE and said that the first time he came in contact with Gor Gor's film was watching his film ROUGE in secondary school. At the time because he was young he only thought the color and the story were very pretty. After growing up he finally understood what Gor Gor and Sister Mui (Anita Mui Yim Fong)'s characters were thinking in the story. When Tsang Pei Tak spoke with the media, he said that his remake of WHO CAN RELATE has had many new arrangements and an interpretation from a new angle with electronic style; remaking Gor Gor's song certainly was stressful because it was too classic. He hoped that no one would not make any comparison whether they would like it or not, mainly it was a tribute. He said that before getting into the business he has always sung Gor Gor's songs, especially his favorite SOMEONE WITH HEART, which was also a must sing song when he was a wedding singer. He continued to learn from the elders and Gor Gor's interviews that Gor Gor was a very professional person who would put 100% passion into his work, but privately he was also a fun and playful person. When everyone spoke of Gor Gor, they would always have a smile on their faces. He sensed Gor Gor's magic and charm that was able to affect those around him. He hoped that he would be able to do that as well. Gor Gor's friend and internationally renowned designer Chan Yu-Chen in the 80s designed many album covers and promotional posters for Gor Gor. The SIDE VIEW album cover photo sample that he designed for Gor Gor was on display at Olympian City. Yesterday he even brought the STAND UP record to share with everyone. "I designed Gor Gor's image for many years, after working together many times he gradually suggested even more ideas to me. Gor Gor had great taste, a very tasteful superstar. The communication and collaboration between us have always been very pleasant, to this day I still miss his charisma." Turning from colleagues to good friends with Gor Gor, Candy Cheung (Man Suet Yee) also spoke about her time with Gor Gor in her youth and brought a handbag that Gor Gor gave her. "I have known Gor Gor since 1978, when we worked together on THE SPIRIT OF THE SWORD (YUEN FA SAI GIM LOK). At the time a group of young people after work would go to one of their homes for a pot luck party. Occasionally they would also meet to play mahjong. How well Gor Gor treated us would always remain in my heart." Chris Choi was Gor Gor's concert choreographer. He mentioned that Gor Gor at work was very serious and cautious, seeking perfection in each performance. He did not want to give any room for others to criticize him, but Gor Gor privately also had his tender side. "Gor Gor would remember my birthday, for three years in a row he gave the same series of crystal -- which was quite a pleasant surprise for me." Gor Gor's birthday present crystal series to Chris was also in this exhibition. * (2023/04/01) Today was the 20th anniversary of "Gor Gor" Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing's passing. For "Gor" fans to be able to get together and remember everything about Gor Gor, the Miss You Much Leslie 2023 concert would take place at the Hong Kong Coliseum. The concert's chief producer Chan Suk Fun has been making the final preparations with the Coliseum and the production team for the past several days in hopes of making this concert its best, whether at the Coliseum or onlne "Gor" fans would be able to spend a special night. Mrs. Chan and the team conducted a small worship ceremony at the Coliseum. She also gave a gentle reminder to everyone that the concert would start on time tonight at 8:15 PM, and she hoped that no one would be late and miss any exciting performance. She again thanked all the singers, artists and friends for their participation. their support would definitely be able to ensure a heartwarming night for everyone. Everyone would be able to laugh, cry, sing and listen to Gor Gor's songs together. Mrs. Chan said that because this time had many guests , all of the backstage are would be used for preparation. Thus no one should send floral arrangements to the Coliseum. She also hoped that "Gor" fans would only bring one red or white rose to participate in the 6PM to 7:15PM memorial ceremony at the Coliseum plaza tonight, but the weather has been less than great the past few days. Safety should come first for everyone, and Gor Gor would definitely receive everyone's well wishes. * (2023/03/31) With fans seemingly all over Hong Kong, the popular guy group MIRROR has surprisingly turned into "abandoned". As the Hong Kong pandemic prevention measures eased, after 3 years of suppression the Korean stream struck Hong Kong ferociously. In addition some claimed that due to MIRROR's lack of improvement and freshness, the group recently suffered from "fan exodus" and even "MIRROR fans" selling their ware online. Edan Lui Cheuk On two nights while attending a film premiere admitted that he has personally witnessed "fan exodus". "It's a personal choice, I hope they would like me back later." Just returned from Japan, MIRROR member Edan two nights ago attended his film OVER MY DEAD BODY (SEI SI SEI SI SEI SUP SEI)'s premiere. As expected he had a massive fan presence. As for claims that the Korean stream striking Hong Kong and causing MIRROR's popularity to decline, Edan said, "I am not sure, everyone would have more choices. Now it's time to let us know we would have to work harder. I too want to see BLACKPINK and Eric Chou, but I am very mad that I have to work and couldn't. It' s still good, everyone can more different stuff. They are very sharp, so we have to do better, perform better. (Some fans have 'backed out'?) This is their personal choice, if after a long time, they don't like us as much it's no problem. Feelings are beyond our control. If they feel we haven't worked harder enough, talented enough, then we have to work harder. If I see fans leave, indeed I would be a little upset. I can only wish that later they would like me back." Edan admitted that he has witnessed his fan backing out. He said, "Once in awhile I would see people say they wouldn't follow me anymore. I don't know about the number, but they are very kind and benevolent, they wouldn't deliberately tell us they are backing out. (Some said that it's because MIRROR are constantly less than complete?) All 12 together has been fewer, because we have our own jobs. I hope to have a group variety program coming up. It's being planned. Everyone would have to wait a little." Earlier he and member Anson Lo Hon Ting while working in Japan shared a photo together but was blasted for taking advantage of their previous roles. He rarely struck back. He said, "I wasn't opening fire, everyone was in discussion with reason. For artists finding a balance is very hard. Peole can gauge us very easily. Artists are people too. When you see something wrong you have to learn to protect yourself, not to yell, get mad, start a war of words. I want to bring out some facts and reasons, do I need so many negative attacks?" Also attending the premiere was ERROR member Dee Ho Kai Wa. He joked that he was not supporting Edan. "Edan isn't trendy anymore!" As for the MIRROR fan exodus fever, he said, "This is each person's freedom, if you like them you would keep liking them. If you don't then you wouldn't." (Is ERROR afraid?) I of course am not, not that many people like me to start with, now that more people like me, I have already defeated the me yesterday." Starring in OVER, Teresa Mo Shun Kwan had confidence in "sonny" Edan. She felt that MIRROR has always worked very hard. "I haven't seen this situation at all, when I come in just now, when Sonny (Edan) appeared it was like an earthquake." * (2023/03/31) The 47th Hong Kong International Film Festival last night opened at the Hong Kong Cultural Center. The Soi Cheang Pou Soi directed MAD FATE (MING ONG)'s Asian premiere and the Ann Hui On Wa directed ELEGIES world premiere were the opening films. The opening ceremony guests included MAD FATE director Cheang Pou Soi, producer Elaine Chu Suk Yee, producer and screenwriter Yau Nai Hoi, screenwriter Li Chun Fai, stars Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Lokman Yeung, Ng Wing Sze, Berg Ng Ting Yip, Peter Chan Charm Man, Bonnie Wong Man Wai, Birdy Wong Ching Yan and Pancy Chan Pui Si. ELEGY director Hui On Wa also attended the forum with the two poets in the film Wong Chan Yin and Liu Wai Tong. Already the international film festival ambassador for a fifth year, Kwok Fu Sing said that he had many memorable experience. He felt that after this year he could retire on top, but earlier due to the pandemic the event was halted for a year and streamed online for another. With the return to a physical film festival this year, he felt that the team put in a lot of effort and was very professional. He said, "Because earlier it had no way of taking place, the team held a state of mind of doing as much as they could instead of being disillusioned. This spirit is worth commending, like being used on my own life and work concepts. Doing as much as you can, it is very close to this year's event slogan 'Never Stop'. I wish this year's film festival a successful completion!" Sing Sing just finished a part of his world tour and returned to Hong Kong to attend the film festival opening ceremony. He said that he was very happy, because over the pandemic in the past three years, aside from the charity concert he has not performed on the stage. This year as the pandemic passed, he returned to normal and launched his world concert tour again. Earlier he went to Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Chicago and Toronto and performed four shows. Because he has not seen fans for too long, everyone was very passionate. He also revealed that later he would perform in Singapore, Malaysia and Macau. Later he would work on another film, now he has several scripts in discussion. His Hong Kong concert series will take place next year, and it will be an all new concert. He also said that because of school, his daughters did not follow him on tour. However while performing in North America, he video chatted with his wife and daughters everyday. When he would perform in Macau in July he probably would be able to bring them. How would he celebrate Easter? He said that Easter happens to be his second daughter's birthday, "but I would have a party. Mainly it would be family fun, Papa and Mama want to give their children a happy birthday." Sing Sing said that he would remain very busy after returning to Hong Kong, he would have to work on movie post productions, record songs, and provide his voice to a film. This time the director asked him to provide his voice personally, because Putonghua was not his strong suit and in the film his character had to speak it very fluent and colloquially, he needed to find a Putonghua instructor to instruct him. In the past he had a voice actor whose voice was very similar to his, but he did not feel well recently. Thus he agreed to the director's request. Sing Sing joked that he has become addicting to voice acting, because when he listened to his Putonghua it sounded very different. He believed that the audience would hear it and feel even more realism. Thus in the future he hoped to try to provide his own voice, which he felt was pretty fun and was a type of learning for him. Has he asked his wife Moka Fang to correct his Putonghua. He joked that his daughters' Putonghua was better than his. "My daughter even teaches me back, 'Papa, that's not how you say that.' Now after learning, I even communicate better with my daughters." In addition, Sing Sing, Louis Koo Tin Lok and Sean Lau Ching Wan starred in THE WHITE STORM 3: HEAVEN OR HELL (SO DUK 3: YUN JOI TIN NGAI) yesterday released its 36 second teaser. The trio in the film chatted on a yacht, behind their smiles each had his own ideas. Lam Ka Tung was asked about MAD FATE's producer Chu Suk Yee's claim that he did not consider the salary when he took the role. Ka Tung joked that it was a long time ago, so there was not much to talk about. In addition he has not participated in a Milky Way Image movie in a very long time, a good script was hard to find and after running Cheang Pou Soi, he could talk about the money later. Did he invest his salary in the film too? Ka Tung said, "I invested my heart and energy, as for whether I took a salary I would leave that for later. (Would you share in the fruit of the labor later?) It's like bicycle sharing, the most important is good word of mouth. Because the movie has many new actors and the subject is murder, and since To Sir (Johnnie To Kei Fung) asked, I couldn't refuse." However, he admitted that this production has been very tough. One of the scenes took over 30 takes. He had to scream with all his might for the performance. He screamed too much that even his voice was hoarse. In addition this character was silly and crazy, which made it even harder to play. The film would be released in April. Would he have any confidence in the box office performance? He said, "I hope viewers would like it, I really haven't worked with Milky Way Image in many years. This time can be considered a reunion, like going to Wudang Mountain to absorb the magical energy. I would work harder in my performance." He also said that not every movie could get him not to discuss money, if the production resources were poor but the script was good then he would support the film a little. With ample production resources he would take his normal rate. He has always supported film and felt that he had the responsibility to take care of newcomers. MIRROR captain Lokman Yeung said that the film was shot in 2019 and participated in many film festival. To be able to work with Milky Way Image, Cheang Pou Soi and Lam Tung on a movie, he was very happy and took the opportunity to learn from everyone. He admitted that at first he was a little afraid of Ka Tung out of respect, as his presence was like a mountain. By the middle of the production he finally dared to ask him for advice. Lam was very willing to share with others and would correct his shortcomings. Recently rumored to be slipping in popularity, MIRROR appeared to have a fan resignation fever. As the captain he said, "Sometimes it's because you love too deeply. I really thank fans for their love, but love has many different types. Some are love that you hold on tightly to, some you let go, sometimes you should distance yourself a little farther to see, coming out and going in sometimes are pretty fun too. (Have you been upset?) Maybe I feel fans love too much, which gets me very frustrated. This has a lot of factors, some fans love one, some love many. They also want us to have more opportunities to develop, when we have less jobs they feel bad for us. So they should let go a little. MIRROR wants to bring positive energy to everyone." As for the official fan club being accused of making poor arrangements and grabbing money, Lokman Yeung pointed out that he would see everyone's reaction. If the fan response data would be large, he would feel that they would need to make a little adjustment.

The organizer, the Hong Kong Film Awards Association yesterday released the Best Actor and Best Actress nominees' photos. The 2018 Hong Kong Film Award Best Actress Teresa Mo Shun Kwan, who won with the film TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY, returned to the battlefield 5 years later. This time she is nominated for the Emperor Motion Picture MAMA'S AFFAIR (AH MA YAU JOR DAI YI GOR) opposite Louisa So Yuk Wa, Angela Yuen Lai Lam and the current Golden Horse Award Best Actress Sylvia Chang. In Mo Shun Kwan's eyes, several opponents are all people of substance. Even Yuen Lai Lam who is lacking in experience also gives a divine performance. She admitted that she has been paying attention to the rising new comers in film in recent years. "Girls are especially sharp. Yuen Lai Lam's acting is very natural. (Jennifer) Yu Heung Ying has variety, and can play both rebellious and very nice. (Louise) Wong Dan Nei really is very successful. (Hedwig) Tam Sin Yin too. They are all top notch, so I wouldn't have to worry about actors." Speaking of her MAMA'S performance, Mo Shun Kwan felt that it was somewhat similar to her TOMORROW role. Both have sons and face with cheating husbands, only the two films are absolutely different in their style and handling of relationship . She said, "I feel this time is more reserved, handling wise it has been very harder. However the audience is affected even more, hence this movie is more worthy of winning an award." Already with a Best Actress award in her hand, was she ambitious about winning this time? She made a comparison with mahjong. "I feel anyone who sits down at the mahjong table doesn't want to lose money, of course they want to win. however this time my state of mind is much more relaxed, but I believe in Yuen Lai Lam's performance. If she would win I believe I would applaud very hard." Best Actor would be a competition between academics, THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET (BAK YUT CHING CHUN)'s Anthony Wong Chau Sun, THE NARROW ROAD (JAK LO MEI CHUN)'s Louis Cheung Kai Chung, and THE SPARRING PARTNER (JING YI WUI LONG)'s double nominees Yeung Wai Lun and Mak Pui Tung -- four Academy for Performing Arts graduates and DETECTIVE VS. SLEUTHS (SUN TAM DAI JING)'s Sean Lau Ching Wan who started at the TVB artist training class. The two time Best Actor Lau Ching Wan earlier with DETECTIVE received the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild Best Actor and got a shot of confidence for his third Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor race. Wong Chau Sun with THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET won the Golden Horse Award Best Actor. THE NARROW ROAD 's Cheung Kai Chun won the Hong Kong Film Critic Society Best Actor. Mak Pui Tung at the 16th Asian Film Awards won Best New Performer. Yeung Wai Lun in THE SPARRING PARTNER played a murderer of both parents. His resemblance to the figure the role was based on received praises from the defense attorney of the case. Among the Best Actress nominees, 4 were playing mothers in their roles, including MAMA'S AFFAIR's Sister Mo, LOST LOVE (LAU SHUI LOK FA)'s Sammi, THE NARROW ROAD's Yuen Lai Lam and A LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT (DUN FOR LAN SHAN)'s Sister Chang.

Gordon Lam and Lokman Yeung are extraordinary as two men standing at the edge of sanity, as they fight an invisible enemy. Berlinale Special. [ BERLIN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] The sky above Hong Kong is not just heavy with clouds and rain, it also contains astral signs and dark omens in this esoteric neo-noir. In a radical and counter-intuitive move, rather than having the characters' trajectories converge towards the end, the plot instead knits their fates together from the start. Crossing paths at the scene of a heinous crime in a brothel are the serial killer perpetrator and the upstanding detective chasing him, but also a delivery boy obsessed with blood and knives and an occultist feng shui master who had predicted the victim's gory fate without being able to prevent it. The last two quickly form an unlikely pair, and this transforms the film into a surreal, hyperkinetic, expressionist buddy thriller. The horoscopes confirm that the boy will soon succumb to his bloodthirsty temptations, but to redeem past failures and save him from his fate, the fortune teller is willing to do anything. As the investigations gather pace, the pair sinks into delirium in a whirlwind of superstitions, rituals and distortions, against a backdrop of an alchemical metropolis.

This mix of documentary, fiction, and visions of the future reveals the current state of desolate depression among the people of Hong Kong.

Some still burn with righteous fire, while others are disillusioned or have been bought off by the system.

Fearing that the presence of a corpse will turn their unit into a "murder home" and its property value will nosedive and impoverish them, their bickering family unite to pass the buck to their neighbours by moving the corpse to other units on the same floor. Their fiendish plot ropes in a motley bunch of people, including retired elderly couple, Mr. & Mrs. CHAN; a single lady and her maid; the CHEUNG's, an irascible father and his cantankerous son; and an overzealous security guard. Last but not least, is a mysterious chain smoking woman named Sue who might hold the key to helping get the body out of the building... A dark comedy of manners and Hong Kong home-ownership woes ensues in "Over My Dead Body" as each of these vividly portrayed characters turns on each other in an effort to avoid taking responsibility for both the body and their own personal problems.
