MISCELLANEOUS * (2023/08/30) Bosco Wong Chung Chak, Joel Chan Shan Chung, Michael Tse Tin Wa, Alice Chan Wai, Sisley Choi Si Bui, Rosita Kwok Pak Yin and others along with producer Elaine Lok Yi Ling two nights ago attended the film ENDLESS BATTLE (MO GAN YUT JIN)'s charity premiere; James Ng Yip Kwan and Hubert Wu Hung Kwan performed the film theme song to open the event. Host Anderson Junior (On Tak Juen) had a few mishaps. When he introduced the three male leads to the stage he missed Shan Chung. After Shan Chung appeared on stage he jokingly introduced himself to On Tak Juen; then On Tak Juen mistakenly called the film INFERNAL AFFAIRS (MO GAN DOH) and cracked up the crowd. Wong Chung Chak and Shan Chung reunited on film again after a few years. This time in the film they played enemies. Bosco revealed that Shan Chung was the villain of the film, and no one was spared. Shan Chung said that it was a lot of fun, because he has not played a villain in a long time. He admitted that character was "as bad as it gets." The two further revealed that in the film they had many fights, emotional scenes and scenes in which they were "gauging each other". Shan Chung pointed out that earlier he injured his pinky finger because of this film. He also joked, "For action films injuries are inevitable. Fortunately for that scene I fought with Bosco's double. If I fought Bosco, he probably would have broken a rib, haha." Speaking of box office, Bosco pointed out that the film's mainland online hit rate has been great. He praised this film for having Hong Kong film flavor, like unique streets and cops and robbers elements. Si Bui was a guest star in the film and had an important role. She said, "I played a doctor and had scenes with all three lead actors. Without this character of mine nothing would get done." Si Bui also hoped to have opportunities to make even more movies, and was also interested in the stage. She said that if her singing would improve she would even want to try a musical. Earlier she recommended herself to Stephen Chow Sing Chi for his new film. Any progress? She said that she was very happy that he replied. As for anything further she asked reporters to ask Sing Yeh for her. She admitted, "I leave it up to fate, but of course I hope to have the opportunity." Chan Wai revealed that she would be a villain in the film. The most memorable scene was a close distance explosion shoot. Even though computer graphics generated explosion effects was used, it was quite a challenge to her reflexes. * (2023/08/30) The One Cool Film and Emperor Motion Pictures release STAND UP STORY (SUET SIU JI YUN) starred Ben Yuen Fu Wa and Ng Siu Hin. STAND before its release has already received the 17th season Asian Pop Up Cinema's award in Chicago, as Ng Siu Hin and Yuen Fu Wa respectively received its Bright Star Award and Pinnacle Career Achievement Award. The film would make its world premiere at the film festival on September 16th. The two would attend the event and accept the awards. Yuen Fu Wa said, "Thank you to the team, without everyone's persistence this film would not be able to overcome all the hardship during the pandemic and be completed." He also wanted to thank every actor who took part in the film, especially his on screen son Ng Siu Hin. "He is a smart actor, and even an actor who is very willing to contribute. Early in our preparation, he was already prepared to be a family with me, so during the official shoot building the father and son relationship was very easy." He also thanked director Au Cheuk Man. Whether discussing the screenplay or on the set the director would prove his trust with action and patiently listened to his suggestions, giving him a lot of space and degree of freedom to interpret this role. Ng Siu Hin said that he was very grateful to thee film festival for this award. He said, "Being able to receive an award, of course I am happy and grateful. The honor belongs to Ben Gor (Yuen Fu Wa). He has always been very willing to teach me a lot. We have worked hard together on the movie, no matter what I wanted to do he would be supportive and conceive ideas. Thank you very much Ben Gor. Almost with every actor who has played my father in a movie, my father would like a photo with them. This movie happens to be about father and son, which has left the deepest experience, impression and joy with me. I hope this father and my father would get a photo together soon. Earlier I saw Ben Gor in an interview mentioned that I constantly played pranks on him, but he is always playing pranks on me too. He is always wearing a white tank top and saying that he looks a lot like Korean star Rain, I want to through this opportunity to tell Ben Gor, 'Not even a little!'" The Broadway Cinematheque on September 7th would hold a STAND UP STORY stand up comedy special screening. This would be the center's first film and comedy cross over event. The audience would be treated to Hin Jai, local comedians Vivek Mahbubani and Tim Chan's live performance. Hin Jai said, "Stand up comedy is harder than a comedy film performance in that you have to make the audience feel that you are conversing with them, and also make them laugh. This time I would only have a few days to prepare. I would give my all to loosen up the audience and laugh a little, then they would enjoy my film STAND UP COMEDY." * (2023/08/29) The Emperor Motion Picture ECHOES OF THE THUNDER (CHOOK JIN) two nights ago held its premiere. Stars Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Angus Yeung Tin Yue and Bonnie Xian (Sin Sik Lai) attended. Chan Ka Lok said that the film wrapped up production around 5 years ago, mainly the post production computer graphics effects production required a very long time. Thus the release was arranged for now. Ka Lok said that in the film he and Tin Yue played race car drivers and had their share of car chases. However he himself has been a very safe driver. He would like to get a motorcycle license the most, unfortunately he took the test four or five times and failed. He even had to take his driver's test twice to pass. As for the racing scenes, he admitted that they were very stressful. He was afraid to crash while shooting the race. Tin Yue also said that he needed to drive a luxury sports car from the peak to race, the psychological pressure was also enormous. Sin Sik Lai said that she was more mild mannered and rarely watched auto racing. Since finishing ECHOES OF THE THUNDER, she and Ka Lok have not seen each other in 5 years. Everyone were very happy to reunite. Ka Lok pointed out that before they were in the same company, but he forgot to invite her to his wedding. Would he invite her for his future baby's hundred day banquet? He said, "That's very far away, if there would be a hundred day banquet I would invite her then!" * (2023/08/28) The 2023 Miss Hong Kong Pageant took place last night at the Tseung Kwan O Television City. TVB tightly followed the technological trends and immersed artificial intelligence into the beauty pageant with the first AI Miss Hong Kong host in history. AI was also to create the candidates' ideal selves, so they would be able to converse with their AI senior versions of themselves. During the question and answer segment, also through AI technology the topics were personalized to increase the challenge for the candidates to compete over brains as well as beauty. Finally candidate 15 Hilary Chong with her calm and composed performance won the crown as the favorite, candidate 4 Lynn Wang was the first runner up and Miss Photogenic, and the second runner up was candidate 17 Lovelle Wang. Miss Friendship was candidate 8 Jenny Jiang.

Mayanne Mak Mei Yan and C Kwan were the swimwear question and answer segment guests. Guest performers included Mike Tsang Pei Tat, James Ng Yip Kwan, Oscar Tao, and candidates from STARS ACADEMY and MIDLIFE SHINE AND SING seasons 1 and 2. * (2023/08/27) Cecilia Yip Tung appeared on a Radio Hong Kong program and shared her happy experience from the most recent film production, unforgettable memories from working with Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing in the past and how she and her husband get along. The two time Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress Yip Tung most recent in the film LOVE NEVER ENDS! (NGOR OI NEI) played an old lady and became the hot topic for awhile. She said that her old colleague Tony Leung Ka Fai recommended the role to her. The first time when she met the director over video conference, her appearance was said to be too trendy. Later after trying many different looks the director was still not pleased. Then at the production start production location, the director saw an old lady, felt that her appearance and movement were very suitable, and screamed, "This is what I need!" The entire set cracked up because that old lady was her. Yip Tung recalled the most memorable scene, in which her pants fell off. "I had to fall on the ground that was filled with rain water. After every take, the crew would immediately pull my pants back up. Actually I wanted them to pull my whole person up, the ground was really too wet!" Working with Leung Ka Fai again years later, Yip Tung felt that he has loosen up. "I am not referring to his face, but his entire person! We are as close as family; we would advise each other and be very happy. Sister Hung (Kara) Wai Ying Hung is very professional, she is a real sister. She likes to take care of everyone and even make us soup. The soup took place during the pandemic, she gave us our own container of soup so we wouldn't mix them up. In the film the four of us (with Ni Dahong) are all Best Actor and Best Actress, so it was a big acting duel! The director was deeply influenced by Hong Kong culture, the film theme song was Sam Hui Koon Kit and Chelsea Chan Chau Ha's I LOVE YOU. The royalty was very expensive, not only did they have to pay for the Hong Kong record copyright but also buy the original Elvis Presley song's right in the U.S. He really was very thoughtful." Yip Tung remembered her movie connections with Cheung Kwok Wing. "40 years ago, I made my first movie NOMAD (LIT FOR CHING CHUN) and had a bed scene with Gor Gor. Looking back now I still feel very happy. Later we went to France to make LAST SONG IN PARIS (AU YIN), the most memorable was one day he knocked on my door and said that he bought two accessories that were very suitable for me. He wanted me to pick one and give the other one to someone else. He was very attentive; and I kept that accessory, which was very valuable. 20 years after his passing, I never wanted to remember because I don't feel he should leave like this. I think that day if he wasn't overly focused on something, maybe today we would still be very happily together. Thinking is the most important to people, thinking can be controlled and adjusted. When we drop the negative energy to its lowest, basically we can do anything. We are invincible." Yip Tung has always stressed that she wanted to thank director Patrick Tam Ka Ming who discovered her 40 years ago. Then would she also have to thank her husband who introduced her to the business? "I feel he should thank me, I have taken such good care of him. Over (our) 35 years of marriage we have been constantly apart. The most important is not to give him too much pressure, forcing your own way onto him. While dating we would accommodate each other, why would it be any different after being together for awhile? He has not changed, only you have become yourself again. If you want a person to change to accommodate you, you might as well give up. You have to give him space, when two people get together they are happy to see each other, happily sharing with each other. Being together is mutual respect, would we say 'I love you'? I wouldn't. If you say it too often it would become superficial, the feeling wouldn't be strong enough. Only when you occasionally say it would you still have that feeling of making your heartbeat faster." Yip Tung after finishing the film decided to let go of the baggage and pursue her real self. "I try to reverse everyone's views about women and beauty, the response to which has been better than I have imagined. I am not worried about what others think, at most they would say I am old. However I want to be elegantly old with refinement, because my wisdom and experience have all grown. If you feel being myself is not good, I feel the problem isn't with me. Like (Michelle Yeoh) Yeung Chi King, she is the role model for women. She is very hard working, she no longer limited herself......I wouldn't pursue the third Best Actress award, because it's not within my control. The goals that I am pursuing are reading more books, exercising more, having a good body, only with pursuit would you have improvement!" * (2023/08/26) MIRROR member Anson Lo Hon Ting's second film IT REMAINS (YEUNG WON) two days ago opened, with previews its box office has exceeded HK$ 1.1 million to become the fastest Hong Kong film to pass the 1 million mark this summer. Anson Lo has not dared to predict IT REMAINS' box office. If the audience would sense how well his emotional performance was then he would already be very happy. He agreed with elder Chu Pak Hong, for an actor making a movie is a gain. Accumulating experience from the performance, he would not put too much emphasis on success or failure. In the film Anson Lo became possessed by a ghost, in real life he too has had supernatural encounters. In the past he was constantly "crushed by a ghost", but he felt that since he has not done anything bad or hurt people he was not afraid anymore. In the past few years he has had any. Anson Lo, Tommy Chu Pak Hong and Summer Chan Chi Huen starred in IT REMAINS. Speaking of their box office expectation, Chu Pak Hong said, "When the shoot is finished I am done, let it to Heaven." Anson Lo's first movie SHOWBIZ SPY (GA MO NUI TUEN)'s box office was HK$ 7.95 million, the performance was less than ideal. Would he look forward to IT REMAINS performing well? He said that he did not know how much the box office should be to be considered good. "SHOWBIZ SPY was released when cinemas opened up again during the pandemic. With this box office number, I as a new comer would already consider it good. I didn't feel it was bad at all. (Would you feel that the pandemic release made the movie a sacrifice?) It wasn't a sacrifice at all, it was Heaven's arrangement. As for IT REMAINS' box office, I haven't thought much about it." Would he attend audience appreciation shows like mad to pump up the box office? Anson Lo said that for now he still has yet to receive any audience appreciation notice. He hoped that viewers after watching would sense the ideas in the film and like the film, which would already be great. "If everyone focuses on Anson Lo, I hope that they would be able to see a different Anson Lo. It would be an extra reward, my gain." How much would he predict IT REMAINS' box office to be? He said, "I really don't know, the box office nowadays, I don't know what is great and what isn't. I really don't know." He looked to Chu Pak Hong for help. The latter felt that Anson Lo was still young, even if he loses he would be able to afford it. "Many big stars, actors and Best Actors have made a lot of movies that lost money. There is no need to mind that. If you have to count everything it would be very tiring, very tough." Anson Lo agreed, "Big brother has said what I wanted to say, I wouldn't put too much emphasis on success or failure, I hope everyone would be able to see my emotional performance in IT REMAINS. I would already be very happy." Anson Lo in the film had many emotional scenes. Facing the sudden loss of his girlfriend, he blamed himself and drank all day to numb himself. When he ran into supernatural incidents fear would arise. Has he run into any difficulty with the performance? He said, "The character is more depressed or suppressed. Because of his girlfriend's passing, a lot of what he sees or runs into would remind him of her. I have to use my eyes to express that, and in a short period of time too. So it was quite a challenge. Luckily we had meetings and table reads early on, everyone created together and gave me a lot of suggestions. During the shoot I had Mr. Chu Pak Hong's leadership and assistance from the sideline." Chu Pak Hong denied leading them, as he only shared his own views and experience. As the film neared its ending, Anson Lo became possessed by a ghost. He had to play two characters by himself, which he said was a lot of fun but also very tiring. "While possessed I am calmer, but also struggle to free myself. It is like finishing a work out, I am very tired!" Chu Pak Hong remembered that during the shoot the temperature was in single digits, but he still had to float to the surface in dark water. Speaking of supernatural incidents, Anson Lo revealed that he used to be "crushed by a ghost" constantly. At the same time he has heard people speaking, once a male voice yelled at him for several minutes. "Many people say I am supernatural sensitive, sensing these things very easily. Several years ago I was still 'crushed by a ghost', as frequently as once every other day. I was no longer afraid of getting 'crushed' because I felt I haven't done anything bad, or hurt anything, I was pretty filial so nothing would happen probably. Over the past few years it hasn't happened again." In the film each person had their own secret. Chu Pak Hong said that in real life since he has already spent over half a year he has completely let go of everything. Now he tried to be as happy as possible, let everything up to fate. Only then would he be able to live happily. Anson Lo pointed out that his latest trouble came from not being able to please his family. "My family feels that I haven't taken the time to be with them, unable to go on vacation together. However I am really too busy with my jobs, I don't want to postpone them for personal reasons. (Have you reflected that to the company?) The company is willing to help me resolve it, but I don't want to manufacture trouble. I would try to think of ways to achieve the balance. (Have you had any knot in your heart before/) No, I haven't regretted anything I have done." He admitted that now is his career surge period. Was he worried that his body would not be able to handle it? He said that that happened early in the year. "Earlier I had stomach ache and headache twice, because rest and diet were off balance. Before a show I didn't eat. Now I wouldn't, I would try to eat something, drink less black coffee and more water. My body is much healthier than before." Chu Pak Hong and Chan Chi Huen were also sensitive to spirits. The former remembers that once at a theater rehearsal, he left the actors break room early in the morning. Suddenly he heard someone screamed by his ear. "At first I thought I was being pranked, I ran out to yell at someone; but when I saw that they have already gone very far, it would have been impossible to prank me." Chan Chi Huen played soccer with her cousin when she was little and hit a "lord of the land". At the time she immediately apologized. When she got home and bathed, a voice said to her "thank you". She got goose bumps and immediately ran to look for Mommy. [ In Production Now/Soon ] Can : But Si Nei But Oi Nei d.

Opening August 31 2023 Trailer : https://youtu.be/_zXtRLisDKE [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] Tokyo is a mere five-hour flight from Hong Kong but it is a totally different world. Sarah has come to Japan seeking to buy an investment property and to have a brief and restful holiday after a bad break-up with her boyfriend. Everything has been precisely arranged in advance; from the schedule, to the hotel, to the real estate broker and the site visits. Immediately after her arrival things start to go terribly wrong. It turns out that the real estate agent who picks her up at the airport unexpectedly and uncomfortably is someone she knows from her past. Then she is informed that due to a reservation error her hotel booking has been cancelled and because the US President is visiting Tokyo, all the other hotels are full. With Sarah unable to get a new reservation and after turning down the chance to stay in a love hotel, the real estate company places her in a minipaku, a private residence rented out to short term guests. However, this minpaku is seemingly abandoned and looks very dilapidated, menacing and creepy. When Sarah checks in, she finds that it's run by an elderly woman who bizarrely seems to recognize her and in fact seems to have been expecting her. So do some of the other guests. Her first night there is disturbing and frightful, the stuff nightmares are made of. Despite her protests and insistence when she tries to leave in the morning, she learns that she will need to stay there for at least a few days until a more suitable hotel is available. What Sarah doesn't know is that this is a house with a very mysterious, violent and unclear history that is somehow connected to her. Unbeknownst to Sarah, this minpaku is under active investigation by the police owing to the recent disappearance of a journalist who was investigating the house because of some strange incidents. In particular a full skeleton had been found under the floorboards- and more strangely it was infested with a particularly virulent parasite that had consumed it from the inside out. Lead detective who has been dealing with personal issues that have virtually destroyed his career, believes there is more to this place than meets the eye. If he can break this case he might be able to resurrect his career. The detective's sister, a forensic scientist also working for the police department at first doubts his interest in the matter but then gets drawn into the case-only to end up dead. Sarah's trip is proving to be anything but restful and relaxing. When the lights go out at the minpaku, grisly and disturbing visions beset her. They become more and more real --including some that involve her late mother who also had lived in Japan for a period of time. With things beginning to go way off plan, her visit to Japan is turning into a horrific and bizarre nightmare. When the innkeeper suggests that Sarah might be pregnant and that she has come back "home" to give birth we are left to wonder if this is the beginning or the end-- of a hell that will consume her.

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.
