MISCELLANEOUS * (2023/08/01) The crime action film THE WHITE STORM 3: HEAVEN OR HELL (SO DUK 3: YUN JOI TIN NGAI) after four days in release (as of July 30th), its Hong Kong and Macau cumulative box office has already surpassed HK$ 5.7 million. Viewers praised the action scenes in the film as exciting. The ending with three Best Actors Sean Lau Ching Wan, Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Louis Koo Tin Lok in a battle in the village with war planes and cannons even became the talk of the town. Kwok Fu Sing in the final confrontation singlehandedly faced the heavily armed drug lord army. One of the action scenes was rather dangerous, Sing Sing even almost got swallowed up by a fire ball. Sing Sing pointed out that at this shoot he was able to fire a real gun, as he put his life at risk in many dangerous stunts. In one of the gun fight scenes at the village, the director hoped that Sing Sing would personally perform and clearly stated that it was rather dangerous. Sing Sing was very professional though and did not turn him down. He said, "The team put a very big fire ball near me, when it exploded some tree leaves and mud were blown at me for the reaction to the fire ball explosion. Looking back, actually it was pretty dangerous but I couldn't worry too much. I hope to try to cooperate with the director and the entire story as much as possible. For viewers to see exciting and realistic effects, contribution was required. This was filmmaking. I have never fired an AK47, it was my first time. The sound, the impact and the kickback were all very unforgettable for me." As for the role he played this time, Sing Sing also felt that it had a lot of potential because his emotions were rather entangled. Sing Sing revealed that he and Ching Wan have run into each other at the television station training class, but in a movie they have not officially had any scene together. This time was their first exchange in a performance. He was very happy to have performed and interacted with Ching Wan. * (2023/07/31) Director Herman Yau Lai To has worked with Sean Lau Ching Wan countless times. While THE WHITE STORM 3: HEAVEN OR HELL (SO DUK 3: YUN JOI TIN NGAI) started production, he was the most concerned with convincing Lau Ching Wan to play the villain. He never expected him to quickly agree, not to mention to be on the same wavelength with Louis Koo Tin Lok and Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and bring out a sense of humor. Director Yau revealed that during the shoot even he could not help but break into laughter. THE WHITE STORM 3 was made during the 2021 pandemic and ran into repeated setbacks. The location changed went Thailand to the mainland. Fortunately the three Best Actor cooperated and changed their schedules. The Yau Lai To directed new film THE WHITE STORM 3: HEAVEN OR HELL would be released in the summer. Following the momentum of the two previous movies, his THE WHITE STORM 2 and the late Benny Chan Muk Sing directed THE WHITE STORM were all big hits with HK$ 24.88 million and 31.9 million at the box office. The third film has not disappointed either, with car chases, explosions and gun fights galore. Humor and romantic elements were added to the intensity. Yau Lai To said that when he received the words THE WHITE STORM 3, he tried to do this job as well as he could. He did not dare to say that he excelled in crime action films. At work the safety of the staff and the cast came first. He hoped for the shots to be powerful, stimulating to the senses and have a sense of danger. "During the shoot the stress was enormous, some of the workers suffered burns. A vehicle suddenly blew up and injured workers, who required hospital treatment. However we were very lucky, in the end everyone was fine. My colleagues from the previous film also came to work." Yau Lai To revealed THE WHITE STORM 3 originally planned to shoot on location in Thailand and Hong Kong in early 2021. Because of the severity of the pandemic, the production was postponed for over half a year before starting. He had to give up the Thai location and construct a village set on Lau Fau Shan in Hong Kong. Other parts were shot in Xishuangbanna and Shanwei, mainland. Yau Lai To said, "Since we couldn't go to Thailand, nowadays we can use art and special effects to make up for it. If foreign films can do it, so can we. Of course some things are very abstract, actors' emotions and feelings are different overseas, if their acting has been affected that would be another matter. The filming schedule was delayed and delayed again, 3 lead actors Ching Wan, Goo Jai and Sing Sing were willing to work with it. When we went to the mainland for two weeks we only got to work for a day or two. The company didn't act up, which was very rare." Ching Wan in the new film played a rare villain role, with complicated relationships with Goo Jai and Sing Sing's characters. Yau Lai To said that he thought about switching their roles. All 3 Best Actors have been very gracious. They did not have any demand. In the end he decided who would play the roles, which was easier than he imagined. "Originally I thought wanting Ching Wan to play the villain would be hard, I didn't expect him to fully embrace it. He only asked what the role's personality was? In my life, I have met people who aren't nice at all. They are very confident in themselves, feeling that 'would you dare to touch me?' However they also trust people very easily. They relied on courage for success in certain areas, so I told Ching Wan to perform at will." Speaking of the actors' performances, Yau Lai To said that he has worked with them many times already so they had room to negotiate. He was pleased with their performance, feeling that Ching Wan, Goo Jai and Sing Sing's collaboration had spark. "In the film there are so values I have to bring out. When I saw them deliver their lines on the set, I thought they were very funny. I was the one who laughed the loudest, the sound recording almost caught my voice." Sing Sing and guest star Gallen Lo (Law Ka Leung) both worked with Yau Lai To for the first time. Yau Lai To denied that he gave special treatment to Sing Sing and added a romance for him, only the story required it. He also praised Sing Sing for being easy going, everyone had a pleasant working experience. Law Ka Leung has not appeared on the silver screen in a very long time. He was close with the film boss Daneil Lam Siu Ming and Goo Jai, so this time Yau deliberately asked him to work together. Law Ka Leung's warlord role was based on the world renowned drug lord Khun Sa. Yau Lai To praised the performance as could not be any better. Yau Lai To's work has grown more and more fiery, in the future would he focus on action and crime films? He said, "No, I still have 8 movies in stock and waiting for release, often it would depend on what the movie's plot would require. THE WHITE STORM 3 in the end had a military eradicating a village, which was truly needed. Khun Sa had over 10,000 soldiers back then, so I would think from the real life standpoint and not shoot big just for the sake of being big. Over the years when I have made movies I have been foolish. Actually I don't know much about what the audience likes, what I have made have been more easy for people to digest. They wouldn't be too slow pace." Speaking of his dinner earlier with Anthony Wong Chau Sun, Lau Ching Wan, Francis Ng Chun Yu, Dayo Wong Tze Wa and Cheung Tat Ming, was he trying to bring together several buddies to make a movie? He said, "We would have dinner together once in awhile, I don't know Chau Sun would toss out a photo. That night, no one talked about working together at all. Because Chun Yu would be in the mainland for several months, before leaving everyone just got together. Ching Wan and I just finished a shoot and got off work, Tze Wa also came so we were in full force. When everyone get together we would talk about movies and wine, we never think about working together or not. We have been that way since we have known each other. Ching Wan, Chun Yu, Chau Sun are very strong drinkers. At this age, everyone would be busy on their own sometimes. Maintaining decades long friendship would not be easy, we absolutely want to cherish it." * (2023/07/30) Francis Ng Chun Yu in the Herman Yau Lai To directed suspense film DEATH NOTICE (UM SAT FUNG BO) had a rescue scene with Julian Cheung Chi Lam in a dark reservoir tunnel. They ran into an explosion and had to run for while and jump out of the tunnel to the ground. Chun Yu said, "After entering the tunnel the ground was all water, I said I had to walk it once first to see if the shoes were suitable and whether there were some low spots. I had to familiarize myself with ths route and everyone's landing sot had to be clear of all dangerous material (sand, rock and trash). Each time I perform these dangerous stunts I am very clear, because the body is mine. Working on an action scene at night isn't simple, with water and explosion I have to make everything very clear." He joked that he was not an action actor, he had to rely on his face to make a living. So he would be extra careful while working on action scenes. * (2023/07/30) Chow Yun Fat after earlier leading the ONE MORE CHANCE (BIT GIU NGOR DOH SUN) team to meet with an audience from poverty, gambling affected families and social welfare organizations, yesterday appeared at the Hong Kong University again to attend the Hong Kong University student development and resource center and the HKU liberal arts department's "Chow Yun Fat X Director Anthony Pun X Screenwriter Felix Chong: Conversation -- Film, Life" event and talk about his film and life with the HKU Liberal Arts Department chief planner Dr. Wong Chi Chung, university professors and students. Fat Gor had fractured ribs but still attended the forum despite the injury and said to the next generation that "the world has no miracle, only accumulation!" and won the thunderous applause from the audience. After almost 50 years in Chinese and foreign film scenes, his rich life experience has been concentrated into a 1 hour forum. Students thought that this was a rare opportunity and fought to get tickets. The over 300 students at the event were even arranged to watch ONE MORE CHANCE at the movies before hand as a warm up for the forum. However, Fat Gor actually on the day before the forum had an accident while running. His arms and palms suffered cuts from rocks, and because he landed sideways the fourth rib on his left side had fracture. Now whether he was laughing, coughing or even breathing deep he would feel a lot of pain. The doctor has already urged him to stop running for two months. When the audience heard Fat Gor describe how he got hurt and his condition, everyone was stunned. The over 300 instructors and students in attendance applauded his appearance despite his injury to thank Fat Gor for keeping his promise. In order to help the family, Fat Gor was unable to finish his education. However he not only did not complain but also saw his early entry into the "society university" as the most valuable lesson in life. With cultivation by the community and winning love, the grateful Fat Gor hoped and cared the most about sharing the wisdom and love that he has accumulated with the young people in front of him and return the favor to the future pillars of society. In front of the next generation, he urged everyone to think about their responsibilities to family and themselves and also learned to cherish the people in front of them. As for Fat Gor himself, he said that he would properly take care of his body, when he would turn 80 he would have the energy of a 20 year old to run a marathon. However nothing was worth being too uptight about, and remember to never think that we were big shots. Fat Gor said that in life, at work and acting it was all the same, each time would require performance with real emotions. Even with setbacks no one should retreat. Hard times could make everyone stronger and stronger, as long as they were willing to stand up again, accumulating experience and word of mouth bit by bit. As time would go on, they would find a role that would be suitable for themselves and head toward success. "The world has no miracle, only accumulation!" The comment brought thunderous applause. Another part of the forum was live interaction with students as Fat Gor and ONE MORE CHANCE team faced the questions from students. One student mentioned, "The people before can for paying off their homes and raising a family could suffer even more without any complaint, in comparison to now, the attitude is drastically different." Fat Gor asked when was the first overseas vacation for the student. The student answered, "Around 15 or 16 with the family." Fat Gor said, "At 15 or 16 I went to work at a factory, at the time 'making a living' was my everything. No one can confirm whether their choice is correct or not, the most important is live in the now, try to grasp properly the appearance of every opportunity." Later a medical student mentioned a hospital internship assignment already. Just suffered an accident from running, Fat Gor encouraged medical students, whether they chose to be surgical, internal medicine, anesthesiology, to work hard and do their jobs well. The hour long forum quickly went by in the blink of an eye. Although Fat Gor answered every question, it was not hard for everyone to notice that he had a hard time breathing while speaking. Even so, Fat Gor still despite his injury took a selfie with over 300 students and put an end to the forum. * (2023/07/29) Three Best Actors Louis Koo Tin Lok, Sean Lau Ching Wan and Aaron Kwok Fu Sing in the film THE WHITE STORM 3: HEAVEN OR HELL (SO DUK 3: YUN JOI TIN NGAI) worked together for the first time, they not only had fight scenes galore, they also had to go into the air and the sea. Sing Sing praised Ching Wan's flying skills to be close to Tom Cruise's. Sing Sing also said that he was the most afraid of fire, in particularly while shooting extremely dangerous explosion scenes. However as a professional he insisted again using a double and would try to personally finish the shoot as much as possible. Lau Ching Wan, Koo Tin Lok, and Kwok Fu Sing in the film played respectively a drug lord, a cop and an undercover cop. Ching Wan in the film had to fly a plane, but he thought that the plane was small and the cockpit narrow. Would he need to make a 360 degree turn in the air, Ching Wan said that would depend on the director. "Flying (the plane) was real, but we just never left the ground. (Have you thought about getting a pilot license?) I have, but it required a lot of related books. I have to make movies and really don't have the time." Sing Sing praised Ching Wan's flying skills as close to that of Tom Cruise's. As for Sing Sing he played undercover and had Goo Jai's cop in his pursuit. They would have fight scenes galore, but they both agreed that they have not been too difficult. However pain was inevitable. Sing Sing joked that Goo Jai had unique skeletal structure, in the film they traded blows. Although they rehearsed before hand and would wear protective gears, bumps and bruises were inevitable in physical combat. Actually they were rather painful, fortunately they were still able to hold on. Constantly working on action scenes, Sing Sing said, "Making movies is very tough." Aside from fight scenes, Sing Sing this time even had diving scenes. He said that he was a certified diver, but has not done so in a long while. He too worried about the danger. He remembered the difficult while shooting one scene. "During the shoot that had both wet and dry, the director kept comforting us and told us not to worry. The water scenes would not be a big deal, but I thought the studio shoot was worse than going into the real sea because of the wire work. I also had to carry a several dozen pound oxygen tank. If I was carrying it in water the load would have been lightened." The film had several scenes that shot on location in the mountain region of Yunnan. Ching Wan pointed out that after every one or two hours rain would come, which made the roads wet and muddy. If they were not careful they could slip away. Sing Sing said that the mud was very deep, sometimes their legs would be stuck in it and they could not move. However they still had to act like they were able to freely move around, leading to repeated bad takes. With few action scenes in the film, Ching wan praised Sing Sing and Goo Jai's fight scene. "One is very strong, the other is very agile." Frequently making action films, Goo Jai was asked whether he has already mastered the art. He pointed out that this time he and Sing Sing were fighting like "thugs", different in production methods from shooting kung fu scenes. It also required how long the fight needed to be. Earlier he shot fight scenes that took a dozen or so days in a row. These scenes would require rehearsals. Sing Sing said that he was the most afraid of fire, especially when the explosion scenes. "Because the flames could change direction at anytime, the wind would also affect the fire's direction; sometimes the fire would also catch and follow the person. So for an explosion scene, everything would be to be fully prepared and try to be done in one take. However in one scene I was very close to the fire, after the first take the director thought that the fire wasn't big enough. In the end it was done in two takes." Has he thought about using a double? Sing Sing said, "I am a professional actor, we have to take such risks when we make movies in Hong Kong takes such risks, I hope the audience would support us." Playing undercover for the first time, Sing Sing said that he had a lot of fun. When he got the script, after reading it he really wanted to play this role because he wanted to catch Ching Wan. Truly relationships and reality could not co-exist. However this time was a rare a male team, a "men's romance". Goo Jai joked, "Let's get some tofu roast pork belly rice." Rarely playing roles like a drug lord, Ching Wan was completely in character during the shoot. He treated himself like a drug lord and even fell in love with his costume. Even Goo Jai and Sing Sing said that off camera he was still in character. Sing Sing said that if he played the drug lord, he would make himself very thin. "I would be down to skin and bones, I feel actors have to have transformation. I would be completely different from Ching Wan." * (2023/07/29) The Yam Kim Fai and Pak Suet Sin Charitable Foundation film TRAGEDY OF THE POET KING 2023 4K Remastered Edition fund raising event took place last night at the Cultural Center Grand Theater. Pak Suet Sin, Connie Chan Bo Chu, Mui Suet Sze, Yu Mo Lin, Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Gordon Lam Ka Tung were among the supporters in attendance. The 95 year old Sister Sin at the previous press conference was resting at home after her domestic helper caught COVID and did not make an appearance. Last night she again took action for the Yam Pak Charitable Foundation. Sister Sin was dressed in black, energetic and full of smile. She even often called for Ka Fai and other friends to take photos with their arms around hers. Then Sister Sin went to enjoy the movie. Before the movie screening, Sister Sin spoke to everyone. "How are you everyone, thank you for coming tonight. I hope it won't disappoint you. I wish everyone good health and may all your wishes come true, thank you, thank you." Chan Bo Chu earlier had sciatica, which led to her legs not be as mobile. Last night she was still hobbling a little when she walked. After her interview she had to sit down to wait for her master Sister Sin to arrive. Sister Bo Chu said that her leg pain was already in recovery. She would continue her physical therapy and exercises. Sister Bo Chu and Ah Deh years ago already seen the remastered version of the film once. This time she felt very happy to be able to enjoy it again with Sister Sin. Sister Bo Chu would like to restore XI SHI, THE ETERNAL BEAUTY the most, because in the film Sister Sin's appearance was very beautiful. Ah Deh pointed out that Any Yam Pak opera treasures would have the chance to be restored. She looked forward to it very much, because in the past she has not seen them. As for her own work, Sister Bo Chu said that she has collected them but only had few. "Because I don't have any private collection, I recorded them from previous television station broadcast. Only some opera performances with Ah Deh were collected and in storage." When would they work together again? They said that they have talked about it. Ah Deh said, "Hope is on earth, with hope there is happiness. I would like to perform THE PURPLE HAIRPIN the most, because we have never perform it together." Sister Bo Chu said that she would have to wait until her leg to recover before being able to perform again. Whether it would happen next year they would make an announcement to everyone then. Speaking of Sister Sin rarely appearing in public in recent years. Ah Deh said that safety came first, but Sister Sin normally at home has been very active. She would sing and walk around for exercise. She was very healthy. Cheung Ka Fai and Sister Sin were once neighbors, so this time he came to show his support and congratulate Sister Sin. As a junior, Ka Fai praised Yam Pak's opera treasures as spouting seeds of film. He also came under the spell of the film and became a loyal film worker. His favorite Yam Pak performances were TRAGEDY OF THE EMPEROR'S DAUGHTER and HOW THE SCHOLAR TONG PAK FU WON THE MAID CHAU HEUNG. Would he want to participate in Cantonese Opera performance or direct a Cantonese Opera film? He joked, "My bone structure is too old, better to leave that for young people to find their interest." Was his silver hair for his new film? Ka Fai joked, "Sister Bo Chu actually isn't much older than I am, I too want the close up look." He again joked that he probably would not be able to work with everyone because of his large bone structure. He could only appreciate and respect the Cantonese Opera culture. Would he let his daughter watch Cantonese Opera? Ka Fai joked, "She doesn't even watch my movies, better to let her find it for herself!" * (2023/07/27) MIRROR vice captain Anson Kong Yip Sang and Bai Ling starred in the suspense horror film BACK HOME (CHUT YUET GWAI FAN), which has been selected for competition at the 22nd New York Asian Film Festival and held its world premiere in New York. AK recently with Bai Ling and director Nate Ki (Tse Ka Kei) headed there to attend a press conference and the premiere ceremony. AK received support from many "starchy flour" (Sang Fun, his fans' nickname). The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (New York) director Candy Nip Kai-yan introduced AK and director Nate Ki (Tse Ka Kei) to the media at a press conference yesterday. "Nate and Anson represent a new generation of artists striving to attempt more diversified film genres in Hong Kong. BAKC HOME is supported by the Film Production Financing Scheme (Relaxation Plan) of the Hong Kong Film Development Council. It is a great example of collaboration among the creative industry, the market and the Government." AK in order to get into the horror film character trapped himself inside an elevator that the team built. "If the door is completely closed and all the lights are off on the elevator, it is pitch black. You can't even see your fingers. For some scenes I would be trapped inside, so I would be more scared." Always an avid talker, AK said that his character in the film spoke very little. He had to rely on reaction to express the character's emotions, which for me was full of challenges. * (2023/07/27) Three Best Actors Sean Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Aaron Kwok Fu Sing teamed up for the first time in the film THE WHITE STORM 3: HEAVEN OR HELL (SO DUK 3: YUN JOI TIN NGAI), which held a premiere at Elements. The rare appearance of the trio together attracted many onlookers. On the stage the three leads talked about their memorable production experience. Sing Sing pointed out that he has not worked with Ching Wan and Goo Jai for many years. He even joked that this collaboration was a "romance of men". Lau Ching Wan avoided talking about his wife Amy Kwok oi Ming's HK$ 64 million property purchase. Sing Sing lately has been busy with his concerts in Macau, but he still took time to attend the film premiere. He praised Hong Kong filmmakers for their efforts in making movies, so everyone should try to support them at the movies as much as possible. Sing Sing also pointed out that Ching Wan and Goo Jai have not worked together for many years, in addition he very rarely made movies with an all male cast. He even joked that this collaboration was a "romance of men". Joey Yung Cho Yi started to not feel well after the 8th show of her concert series and even had to postpone her concerts. Still with two concerts in Macau, was Sing Sing worried about attending a mass gathering two nights ago? Sing Sing said, "I don't get to worry, I have had the vaccine, I hope I would be fine." Goo Jai revealed that the film's ending was shot during the pandemic. Originally the team would shoot on location in Thailand, but in the end the location was changed time and again, from Yunnan to building a set in Hong Kong. At the same time he also had to be in quarantine for the first time, he has never had such experience over his year s of acting. Earlier Goo Jai received the New York Asian Film Festival's highest honor, "Extraordinary Star Asia Award for Exception Contribution to Asian Cinema". Goo Jai said that the award has been an enormous encouragement. He said, "I am very happy to have the recognition overseas, for me it is an enormous encouragement. I hope to make even more movies soon." Speaking of his other film DEATH NOTICE (UM SAT FUNG BO) that has also been scheduled for a summer release, was Goo Jai worried about the box office being split? He said, "Box office isn't my concern, but the two movies are very different. In DEATH NOTICE I have a disfigured look." Lau Ching Wan and his wife Amy Kwok Oi Ming have always been an ideal couple in the business. Although Amy did not attend, Ching Wan said that later he would watch the movie with his wife. Just returned from a trip to Japan with his wife, Ching Wan was caught in the wild. About online praises that Amy was just like a young girl. Ching Wan joked, "They can still see her as a young girl with a hat and a mask?" Speaking of Amy recently as a first time home buyer bought a unit with parking at Residence Bel-Air, as her husband Ching Wan actually said that he had no idea. "Really? I don't know! I will ask her when I get back. (Is your wife in charge of the property?) We have socks, but not properties. (Did you give a home to your wife?) I would give her a pair of socks! (Do you give a lot of money to your wife?) When I get back I would get an understanding on the matter." Sing Sing praised Ching Wan as a good man. "This proves that he is a good man, after getting married that's the way it is." Also a husband, he was asked whether he has given anything to his wife. He joked, "I would give her a movie ticket."

Unfortunately, he is unable to recall the location of his lunch date with his high school classmates, and it is too late to return home to retrieve it. Feeling lost and defeated, he must find a way to contact his classmates in order to obtain the address of the restaurant. Story 2: Female executive Ana gets a WhatsApp message from a scam artist; she was originally hostile, but their conversation turns out to be surprisingly simpatico. Through this conversation, she even finds out information about her husband’s infidelities and criminal activities. Story 3: Raymond, a real estate agent, has his phone hacked, and worries that sensitive information about his business affairs might be leaked, and plans to escape the authorities. At the same time, his daughter tries to scam and 'catfish' a computer nerd. [ UDINE FAR EAST FILM FESTIVAL 2023 ] Amos Why's singular approach to recording contemporary Hong Kong continues in Everyphone Everywhere, a lightly comic drama capturing scenes of pandemic-era life, exploring the cityscape and covering our tight links to mobile phones. Everyphone Everywhere's cross-cutting narrative brings together a large set of players within the mobile-communications theme. First there's designer Chung Chit (Endy Chow), who rushes to catch a ferry and leaves his phone at home. There's no time to retrieve the device, so he tries to soldier on without it – and the results are eye-opening. Eventually, he'll need to call his wife Ivy (Cecilia Choi) to awkwardly help him out. Meanwhile, soon-to-emigrate middle manager Raymond Ho (Peter Chan) starts his day with his WhatsApp account hacked and frozen. Broken contacts aside, his big fear is exposure of shady workplace practices and possible blackmail or arrest. Then there's Ana (Rosa Maria Velasco), an old classmate of theirs who's waiting in a private kitchen and getting odd messages. And all the time a young lady, Yanki (Amy Tang), and a nerdy computer wiz (Henick Chou) are busy using messaging apps for sleazy purposes. Pulling together the various plot strands, Amos Why's fourth feature spins into complex and curious entertainment. The director once again draws on rising talent, here headed by Endy Chow in a relaxed and personable role and with the others drawn from cinema, TV and popular YouTube channels. Viewers are kept on their toes as numerous characters pass by, with some appearing in dual roles and others briefly turning up to give sometimes imaginative faces to those on the other end of messaging exchanges. Why's past plots have been engineered to send cast and crew to as many corners of Hong Kong as possible, but this time things are more focused. Everyphone Everywhere starts on the island of Cheung Chau and trots around the city before settling in the Kwun Tong industrial area, building a sense of place as Chit gets lost trying to find Ana's meeting place within a massive industrial complex. The kindness (or not) of strangers and other little snippets of community life come in too, and Why doesn’t shy away from accurately showing Hong Kong’s outdoor mask-wearing requirement, which ended this March after 945 days: Everyphone Everywhere has its cast join the rest of the public in keeping their masks on. A fun bit of Covid-times weirdness is also thrown in when a scene recreates how a government alert caused phones across the city to blast sirens. Meanwhile, government banners are seen promoting last year's 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China, with the tagline heralding "A New Era." The anniversary angle brings up thought-provoking contrasts when Chit, Raymond and Ana finally meet and look back on the hopes and feelings they'd written down 25 years ago. Social shifts are also reflected when a man seems worried about others bringing up his past actions, as well as when the subject of emigration comes up. There's a lot to process in Why's unique brand of cinema, and his first two films showed it wasn’t easy to balance clear plotting with all the recording of local places and society. His third film Far Far Away saw him smoothing out the form into a highly watchable package, and that effort continues here with an easily relatable phone topic sitting beside the extensive local coverage. Viewers looking back on the Hong Kong of 2022 should be able to find Why's film an easy-going document of the city and its people in unusual times. [ SCREEN DAILY FILMART 2023 ] Following last year's hit romantic comedy Far Far Away, director Why returns with this drama about three friends who reunite after 25 years. Once together, they experience an unusual day on account of their mobile phones and find new meanings in life. ANPANMAN: ROBOLY AND THE WARMING PRESENT d.
