Louis Koo Tin Lok who celebrates his birthday on October 21st B. Stephy Tang Lai Yun who celebrates her birthday on October 15th 2. MISCELLANEOUS * (2023/10/24) Danny Chan Pak Keung passed away 30 years ago, so this year would have a series of memorial events for fans to relive their idol's past glory. Among them the film release 43 years ago ENCORE (HOK CHOI) would be released again with its 4K digital restored edition, which would be uniquely meaningful; lead actress Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) would attend the premiere on the 25th and relive her performance on the big screen again after 43 years. Yung Jing Jing joked, "I am very scared, I am afraid of destroying the beautiful mirage everyone had from 43 years ago." ENCORE opened in 1980. Albert Yeung Sau Sing was the executive producer, Philip Chan Yan Kin the producer and Choi Kai Kwong the director. Danny Chan Pak Keung, Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing and Paul Chung Bo Law starred, with the 15 year old Yung Jing Jing making her film debut as the lead actress. Yung Jing Jing returned from overseas to attend the ENCORE 4K DIGITALLY RESTORED EDITION premiere. She said that her husband was shy and busy with his thesis. Since he would not get the movie anyway, she did not invite him to come along. ENCORE 4K Restored Edition's trailer was released recently. Some online posted captured photos and praised her as the real beauty of the 1980s. Yung Jing Jing said, "The past doesn't stand up to revisit, but female stars are harder to be then than now. I am purely nature without any additive." How would she feel about watching her own performance again on the big screen 43 years later? She felt very afraid. "I am afraid of destroying everyone's past beautiful fantasy, since ancient times beauties are like famous generals, not allowed to show the world a head of white. Ultimately people would get old, and I am fatter than before too." ENCORE's three lead actors Chan Pak Keung, Cheung Kwok Wing and Chung Bo Law all passed away. Would she get sentimental from watching the film again? Yung Jing Jing said, "I have been sentimental for a very long time, but it has already passed. My feeling is that youth is invincible, youth is limited; looking back at old age, who is young with no regret? Who has no regret about youth? Fortunately I haven't wasted 43 years on maintaining my appearance, my time was spent on improving my inside. I didn't waste 43 years at all. Speaking of regret I would have a few. Because I only focused on the inside, I should have taken a little time on taking care of the outside. Now in order to maintain everyone's beautiful image, I have to lose weight." She on social media promoted the film, admitted that she felt tremendous pressure from attending the premiere. She said that 43 years later she would have to see herself from 43 years ago. "In the traverse of time, I am only afraid that the peach blossoms remain the same, all the faces are not as they were." ENCORE 4K edition took a year to restore. Every second of visual image had 24 frames of film. The time required to restore 24 frames was about a day, a 90 minute movie would have 129,600 frames. ENCORE after completing inspection and digital restoration had the final step of letting the film company or the original production team watch it from the beginning to the end. Then they could make suggestions for changes before the audience would get to relive the classic. Radio and Television Hong Kong invited a group of singers to a Chan Pak Keung special taping. They included Gigi Yim Ming Hay, Fred Cheng Chun Won, Phil Lam Yik Hon and Rowena Cortes (Lo Wan Na). * (2023/10/24) The Sunny Lau Yung directed, MC Cheung Tin Fu and Candy Wong Hei Yi starred ONE NIGHT IN SCHOOL (YEH HAU) would open in November. The three earlier were interviewed together. ONE NIGHT IN SCHOOL was MC's first film lead, playing a impulsive guy. During the shoot he was not nervous at all, instead it was more relaxed than imagined. "Maybe because it was a comedy, the character design was rather similar to myself. Both are a little sloppy, casual, so they are not nervous. It's like playing myself. As for the comedy in the film, I laughed and am very pleased with my performance." Speaking of the on screen romance between him and Wong Hei Yi, MC said that they met at school, were attracted to each other. The romantic scene did not take up much of the film, and the intimacy level would not make anyone scream. They only held hands. Candy explained that the story took place in one night, so her relationship with MC would not be too in depth yet. Lau Yung said, "Candy originally hates the most despicable and bottle blond guys, in the end because MC rescues her she falls for him." He said that before he did not know MC. He thought MC looked mischievous and was very suitable for the male lead character design. Lau Yung praised MC for working hard, revealed that in the film he had many scenes that was full of excuses and had many lines. MC did his homework before hand, and performed very well. Which scene was the most difficult for MC to handle? He said, "In one scene I have to convince Bob (Lam Sing Bun) to buy my invention, with two pages of dialogue. I also have to say a pile of data and coordinating movements. It is very funny. I look forward to the audience reaction very much." With such long dialogue, did he have any bad take? MC said, "There were many bad takes, I probably had the most. Luckily no one gave me any pressure, for my first movie it was considered pretty smooth. I had no trauma, no pressure at all." He revealed that the toughest scene was dragging a corpse while wearing a life jacket. He even had to dance. At the time the temperature reached over 30 degrees and he was drenched in sweat. "Not having to do it again would be the best." The most memorable for Candy was when she and MC rehearsed before hand. They stared at each other for no more than 3 seconds and MC's face was already all red. "When I saw how shy he was, I immediately wasn't so shy. It was the first time I met such a shy guy. For several of our scenes together, even his ears were all red." Lau Yung said that he saw how shy MC was and immediately came up with a gag for him. Was MC normally bashful too? He said, "When music videos have female leads, I would have to spend some time to warm up. This time I know about the romance, so before hand we were arranged to meet and rehearse." * (2023/10/24) Best Actor Nicholas Tse Ting Fung yesterday worked at Central. With heavy weaponry in his hands he battled law enforcement personnel. With its share of car flips and explosion scenes, the shoot drew many onlookers. In a tank top Ting Fung's Kirin arms were filled with tattoos, as his armed robber look was unveiled. The Ting Fung starred Emperor Motion Picture THE UNLEASED BLAZE (NO FOR MAN YIN) has been heating up in production. All day yesterday an "armed robbery street gun fight" scene was shot at Central. In the story Ting Fung led Ci Sha and other gang members in a battle against law enforcement personnel Jeana Ho Pui Yu, Angus Yeung Tin Yue and others. Ting Fung's tank top showed off his Kirin arms and chest muscles. His armed robber tattoo look was finally unveiled. With a over 20 pound prop machine gun in his hand, he dominated with his presence. BLAZE reportedly was approved for a road block for the production on the public holiday yesterday. The team spared no expense and used a variety of vehicles for a "convoy" that assisted with the explosion, car flip and gun fight scenes. Professional security was hired to maintain order. The production cost yesterday alone was already considerable. The investor Albert Yeung Sau Sing led the company executives on a set visit with Simon Yam Tat Wa, who just returned from his vacation in England. During the set and he took photos with Ting Fung and others and could not stop chatting. No wonder Ting Fung often flashed his brilliant smile and admitted that the visit warmed his heart. Also the action director, Ting Fung admitted a successful road block application was rather difficult, thus later they would find a suitable location elsewhere and construct sets for other major scenes. As for this performance, whether in planning and the actual production he has given his full attention. Reportedly in order to get into his character's shape, Ting Fung for months kept training like mad and even quit sugar and carbohydrate in order to get the "zero fat" result in return. Speaking of the tattoos on his body, Ting Fung urged everyone to keep an eye out. "Because aside from the arms, my chest also had a big one. Today the clothes covers it. (How much time do they take to draw everyday?) Over a hour or two!" As for casting, Ting Fung asked for the CREATION OF THE GODS I rising star Ci Sha and Lin Qiunan, who was already a world martial art champion at age 8. Just turning 20, Qiunan was seen as the secret weapon. On the day of the production start he did not have any special introduction, reportedly Emperor was interested in selling him under its banner and the negotiation was already in the final stretch. The company hoped to make another action film actor after Ting Fung. * (2023/10/24) The Stephy Tang Lai Yan and Jasper Liu (Lau Yi Ho) starred romantic suspense film was selected for the London East Asia Film Festival and held its world premiere there. Stephy was another Hong Kong actor to attend at the event after Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Louis Koo Tin Lok. Stephy said, "I am very happy, especially from seeing so many Hong Kong friends coming to support this movie." Stephy pointed out that her emotions were very complicate from being able to participate in the world premiere. "When watching the movie I was tense from the beginning to the end, like I couldn't breathe. Because every scene reminded me of the production process and the character's experience." She pointed out that recalling the character's innocent love left her very heartbroken. * (2023/10/24) Bowie Lam Bo Yi, Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Rachel Leung Yung Ting starred in the film IN BROAD DAYLIGHT (BAK YUT JI HA), the subject was which was nursing home abuses. Playing the nursing home director, Bo Yi stated that he hated his character so much that he did not even dare to look at the mirror. Lam Bo Yi said that he has already begun to get into character two months before the production began. Under the company's arrangement he had dinner with a friend with amblyopia. From him he imitated the behavior and gesture of someone with amblyopia, which greatly helped wit the production. He also said that this time he as able to play the home director because of Louis Koo Tin Lok. "Two years ago the director asked me to make this film, because the director was despicable character and at the time I was working on another series so I turned it down. Two years later Koo Tin Lok asked me if I would be able to read the script again. Because I have never playing this type of role before, I had to seriously consider it. When I got the script I followed the information the director gave to get into character, then I adjusted my own psychology. I thought the role had a lot of creative space and would be a lot of fun." Because his role was not likable, Bowie admitted that he even hated himself. During the production period he did not even dare to look at the mirror. After the production was completed, he immediately asked the director and the screenwriters rather it was truly totally done. When he confirmed the wrap, he immediately went back to shave and get a hair cut before he dared to look into a mirror. In the film Bowie had a scene in which his character violated an intellectually challenged girl Siu Ling (Leung Yung Ting played). Bowie said that in the film Siu Ling has been under the nursing home's care since childhood. He felt that he understood her more than her own mother. From the director's angle it was an expression of love. Bowie said, "But in my eyes, I feel this is very wrong and greatly angered by it." Leung Yung Ting remembered that at a party scene, she dropped a piece of fried chicken on the floor. To keep from hindering the production progress, she picked it up off the floor and kept eating. Luckily she turned out okay. Yu Heung Ying played a reporter. She said that because she was unfamiliar with the media profession, the director arranged for her to meet with the reporter who reported this case before the shoot. She also asked classmates who studied journalism to find some reporters to converse with, the goal of which was to learn the spirit of how reporters investigated and uncovered the truth. Because her character needed to uncover the case in the film, in order to have the "undercover" feeling she even personally went to observe a problem nursing home. In addition, the film received 3 Golden Horse Awards nominations, including Best Actress for Yu Heung Ying, Best Supporting Actor for Lam Bo Yi, Best Supporting Actress for Leung Yung Ting, Best Art Direction and Best Costume and Makeup Design. Bo Yi said that he was already full satisfied with the nomination. As for being nominated two years in a row, Yu Heung Ying said that she was working hard on getting back into shape for the award show. * (2023/10/21) THE FILM ABANG ADIK (FU DOH CHING NIN) two nights ago held its 20th Hong Kong Asian Film Festival premiere. Producer Lee Sinje, director Lay Ong, actors Wu Kang-ren, Jack Tan and Serene Lim attended. Malaysian star Lee Sinje revealed that this year she has been rather busy, aside from film she also released a record and performed concerts. Fortunately she and her husband already had an understanding and one of them would try to stay home for the kids. She also praised her husband as a very responsible father. Lee Sinje came to Hong Kong again after 4 years and missed the Hong Kong viewers very much. She pointed out that she came to Hong Kong to promote her previous film THE GARDEN OF EVENING MISTS, then the pandemic hit. Earlier she came to Hong Kong for a day for her documentary to meet with viewers, give them a pleasant surprise and thank everyone for their support. Sinje would not stay too long on this trip either, after work she would return home to see her two sons. "Because this year I have been very busy. I worked in Taiwan, released a record and performed concerts. I also had documentary film releases. From the end of last year to now, I spent less time at home than outside." While she came to Hong Kong to promote, the twin sons were under care of husband Oxide Pang Shun. Her parents would also come to watch their grandchildren. Between she and her husband they would try to have at least one of them at home for the children. "Luckily we have two, they wouldn't get bored as long as someone is with them. In addition they are happier with Papa. Papa would be a little more relaxed, I would have many rules. However for children to have individual relationships with Papa and Mama, they would learn different lessons and have different developments." Sinje praised her husband as a responsible father, but still focused on his directing. Since the pandemic he has made two movies, the one starring Andy Lau Tak Wa is still in post production. After returning to Malaysia, Sinje would prepare to attend the Golden Horse Award. Aside from ABANG ADIK's seven nominations, her film TALES OF TAIPEI was also selected to be this year's Golden Horse Film Festival closing film. On this trip to Hong Kong, Sinje said that she caught up with her friend Gigi Leung Wing Kei right away and was also prepared to meet with Karena Lam Ka Yan. Has she consoled the recently divorced Ka Yan? Sinje said, "We are all mature people, and would maturely handle this decision. No matter what the decision is, we would choose lives that we are happy with!" Taiwan actor Wu Kang-ren was rather nervous while attending the premiere two nights ago. Although he has seen it in film festivals in Udine and Switzerland, this was still the first stop in Asia. Thus he would show appreciation to the audience. Malaysian actor Jack Tan said that he also wanted to share his production experience with the audience. Because he has not been to Hong Kong in 8 years, he saw that Hong Kong has changed a lot. In particular last time he came as a music group to perform in Hong Kong, this time he came as an actor. He felt that film would be more able to make the audience remember the character, its influence would be even greater. He also said that he has loved Hong Kong film and television since he was little, and Hong Kong culture has always influenced him. Which Hong Kong actor would he like to work with? Jack Tan said, "Lam Ka Tung, he is very excellent. I also want to work with directors Cheang Pou Soi and Mak Siu Fai." Wu Kang-ren has also performed in two Hong Kong films, he has his eyes on Teresa Mo Shun Kwan. "The last time I watched Lee Sinje's concert in Taiwan, when I saw Sister Mo I was very nervous. I didn't dare to go and say hi and take a photo. Next time I have to do that." He also said that he looked forward to be able to work with Sister Mo, as a couple or mother and son he would have no problem. However he would first have to practice his Cantonese. Speaking of Wu Kang-ren's girlfriend Ivy Shao and the daring bed scene in her new film LOST IN PERFECTION, Wu Kang-ren said that he would not mind because she was also an actor and had her responsibilities to her profession. After returning to Taiwan later he would support her and watch her performance. As for the film box office, Serene Lim said that it was not for actors to consider. Actors' duties lay with having the homework done before the performance, it would be hard to review how her own performance was. However she felt Wu Kang-ren and Jack Chen performed very well. For his directing debut the director was very focused on the production. * (2023/10/21) The Gordon Lam Ka Tung starred film DUST TO DUST (DAI BAK GOR YIM YI YUN) held its premiere two nights ago. The film's producer Soi Cheang Pou Soi, director Jonathan Li Tsz Chun, Derek Yee Tung Sing and Gladys Li Ching Kwan attended. Ka Tung was asked about the rumor that he would return to TVB for a high ranking executive position. Ka Tung said that over the years he has experienced many storms and for a very long time. One Cool Film has also approached him, but he would not eliminate any possibility. Now he would focus on creating screenplays first. Has TVB contacted him? Ka Tung admitted, "They have asked me to go back to perform. (Why would you be rumored to be returning for the production department head position?) I am interested in even being a cinematographer." Ka Tung again asked everyone not to be too serious with rumors. "At this moment I haven't accepted anything, only caught wind of it. Since it's blowing outside, then just let it blow by!' He also said that right now he would focus on work and see when Producer Cheang and Director Li would ask him to make DUST TO DUST 2. In addition, speaking of film production Cheang Pou Soi and Li Tsz Chun both denied that they tortured Ka Tung. Was Ka Tung injured on the set? He joked that he got hurt even from a dramatic scene, but it was just a scratch. Instead his biggest challenge was speaking Putonghua the whole time. When asked whether his Putonghua was very fluent? Cheang Pou Soi joked, "You can tell that Ka Tung was speaking Putonghua." Ka Tung also said that this time he was the happiest about being able to work with the mainland team. The film performed well at the mainland box office. Its mainland actor Da Peng even received the Jin Jue Award Best Actor. Was he confident about the film's Hong Kong box office? Ka Tung said instead he would like good word of mouth, as he really wanted the audience to accept and like it. He said, "Originally I had a chance, but the movie was too long and some scenes were cut. Da Peng's performance was very professional, for the role he gained and lost weight." Cheang Pou Soi explained that scenes were cut for a balance between scenes of both sides of the law. * (2023/10/20) After rising to fame in the mainland, William Chan Wai Ting 16 years ago started in Hong Kong. No wonder he has always had an indescribable connection to this "Peal of the Orient". Last year he gradually moved his work focus to Hong Kong in hopes of making at least one satisfying work. After working with Nick Cheung Ka Fai on the film BURSTING POINT (BAU LIT DIM), he again worked on an Asian series that shot on location in Hong Kong. In it he and Best Actress Cya Liu would be in pursuit of a criminal, halfway through the series shoot they have already shot all over Hong Kong. One could only imagine how tough it has been to work in the scorching heat, but he stated that the production has been pleasant and he had no pressure at all. After finishing the series, William planned to continue to stay in Hong Kong for a long vacation and prepare for the physicality that his Emperor Motion Picture with Nicholas Tse Ting Fung next year, MO HAN YUM MO (INFINITE MISSION) would require. He hoped that whether in appearance or character he would be able to surprise his fan and film viewers. Reportedly, William in order to fulfilled his "Hong Kong dream" has already expressed to his manager that he wanted to change his genre. As he felt that he has begun to enter middle age, he would not want to work on many sweetheart idol series. Thus he has turned down at least 6 or 7 mainland series and variety program offers, which could be worth in hundreds of millions in total. Despite that, he still thought it would be worth the effort and even received the endless support from the company. * (2023/10/19) Korean star Jeon Ji-Hyun, Stephen Fung Tak Lun, Taiwan Golden Bell Awards Best Actor Wu Kang-ren, Josie Ho Chiu Yi, Kathy Chow Man Kei, Hilary Tsui Ho Ying, Emily Lam Tim Yi, Gladys Li Ching Kwan and Amy Lo Wai Mai last night attended a fashion label event. Ho Chiu Yi on the 29th would take her husband Conroy Chan Chi Chung for medical treatment in the U.S., but she said that lately some told various public relations companies that she would not take jobs. "If I catch the person who says I am not working, the ending would be worse than VICTORIA I (WAI DOR LEI AH YUT HO). The media and fans can just see how I catch him." Would she put a bounty on the real culprit? Chiu Yi said, "Yes, if offer the prettiest thing in my closet it's 1 ball (1 million). Although it would be more than 1 ball, and I would miss my clothes, I really don't know whether he is dumb, has good intention, or bad intention." Chiu Yi revealed that at the end of the month she would take her husband to the U.S. to treat his illness and would stay there for a month. She joked that during that period she would truly suspend work at a month, but after returning with her husband she would immediately jump into work. On December 2nd she would first attend a music festival performance. In addition Chiu Yi over the pandemic has not appeared in public with her friend Tsui Ho Ying. She said that when she would see her she would hug her, but earlier at a hairstylist's birthday part, she and Ah Tsui sang A THOUSAND SUNS to wish a Happy Birthday. Wu Kang-ren was rather friendly while posing for photos, as he kept giving away hearts. On this trip he would promote his films ABANG ADIK (FU DOH CHING NIN) and FLY ME TO THE MOON (DAN YUEN YUN CHEUNG GAU) and would stay for 4 days. Speaking of ABAND ADIK's 7 60th Golden Horse Awards nominations including Wu Kang-ren for Best Actor, he admitted that he was not nervous . "Because the feeling is very solid. I really like this movie, the production of which was very tough. I was thinner and darker, and I go help from the Malaysian actors. I particularly like Sister Sinje (producer Lee Sinje), who often instructed me like a teacher. She would spread the love of movies to our younger generations, so we would experience the movies she loves." Speaking of his high odds of winning, he said that if he would win he would come to Hong Kong again to thank everyone. "If I would have the chance I would like to come to Hong Kong more and make Hong Kong films, because I like to learn and speak Cantonese." * (2023/10/19) Starring in the new film BAND FOUR (4 PAK 4 GA JOOK), Kay Tse On Kay, Teddy Robin Kwan and Rondi Chan Lok Ting two days ago attended the premiere. Kay's husband Louis Cheung Kai Chung brought their children along to show their support. Cheung Kai Chung said that he has seen an early cut of the film and praised his wife's acting. "I see her all quiet and reclusive, actually she is an expert." He felt that Kay like himself was an actor would "risk her life", very focused in her role. However his heart ached over how tough the production has been on her, so she would be better off keep being a singer. "Basically any production would be very tough, you have to constantly work overtime and overnight; so singing is better, she gets to dress pretty." As for praises for her acting, Kay credited her husband. Because he would always share how to appreciate movies and analyze actors' performance, she has been able to subconsciously absorb a lot. Would their children like to make movies? Cheung Kai Chung said, "My son has no interest, but my daughter seems to be interested. However they are still so little. I would wait for her to truly have this ability, to have the spirit of a performer, then I would cultivate her." Kakaball indeed had a knack for performing. Earlier when she worked on her first environment protection theme commercial, she played cute and won over all of the staff on the set. The director even praised her as energetic and smart, with quite an instinct for the camera. Kay was on the set to cheer her on. She said, "Seeing how she performs to the tee, I really feel very proud!" [ In Production Now/Soon ] THE UNLEASHED BLAZE Can : No For Man Yin Lit : Raging Fire Spreads d.

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.
