Anson Lo who celebrates his birthday on July 7th B. Connie Man Hoi Ling who gave birth to a baby girl 2. MISCELLANEOUS * (2024/07/10) Siuyea Lo Chun Yip revealed that earlier he went to work on a new film in Taiwan and admitted that he was very happy to work with a new Hong Kong director. The new film would be a romance, the most memorable part for him was the very long dialogue. One time he spoke for 10 minutes and 42 seconds, the longest dialogue in his career. In the film he played a Hong Kong guy who met girls over a dating app in Taiwan. He revealed that at most he had 10 bad takes. His scene with Ng Wing Sze was shot over 40 times. They were shooting on location on a bridge when they ran into a large vehicle that made the equipment shake, so they needed to shoot again. He also revealed that his girlfriend Fish Liew Chi Yu visited him in Taiwan for a week, after she left he really missed her. * (2024/07/09) Actress Cya Liu Yase made her debut as an action actress in the Emperor Motion Picture CUSTOMS FRONTLINE (HOI GUAN JIN SIN) and she risked her life to perform. When she and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung were filming an explosion scene, her eyes were accidentally injured by chemicals. Her vision became blurred, and she tolerated it until the director yelled cut. When she could no longer move forward, she had to squat on the ground with her eyes covered. Her eyes hurt so much that they were difficult for her to open. Director Herman Yau Lai To noticed something was wrong, and the on site medical team and the staff rushed to treat Cya Liu. The chemical in her eyes took more than ten minutes to wash away. Yase later insisted that she was okay and could continue filming another action scene, but eventually Ting Fung persuaded her to stop. Ting Fung chuckled and said, "I seem to have run into another me!" Ting Fung recalled that in the past he was always brave, and felt that all action scenes seemed to be easy. After years of experience, he finally realized that filming action scenes required timing and attention to one's own safety. Yase went to the hospital that day for treatment of her eye injury. The doctor said that his eyeball was scratched and 4 scars were left. She would see four dark spots in her vision, fortunately, she would gradually recover. After a day's rest, she could not wait to get back to work. When asked if she would be afraid of filming explosion scenes, she said, "I wasn't too scared when I was filming. When I heard the sound of the explosion and the light of fire at the scene, they were really scary. Actually they would really explode, I didn't expect them to be real. I was already very careful. I have always been less than courageous, so I stuck to Ting Fung and ran. I didn't know who the bomb blew up under my feet, it was an accident! Luckily now my eyes can still see." Ting Fung, who was also the action director, said to her, "The more courageous you perform, the more worried the on-site stunt team would be. The scariest was that if you just kept charging ahead, you would get hurt sooner or later." " I am very concerned with every actor's stunt because when they get injured it would be really bad. Girls in particular aren't used to making action scenes, with explosions on the set being nervous would be inevitable. Let's see if her condition is OK today. If she isn't OK, today I won't let her perform any new stunt." * (2024/07/09) Actress Larine Tang Yueping recently went to Cambodia to promote her movie OUT OF THE SHADOW (NGOR DAI DIK TUI YUN SUN WOOT). She did her homework beforehand and selected beautiful clothes to match the event venue and local cultural characteristics. Among them were beautiful clothes with Cambodian costume colors, with which she hoped to impress the local audience. Larine said that the most profound thing about this trip was that she came into contact with other film knowledge and learned how to judge whether a film was popular and whether it was able to cater to the preferences of audiences in different regions. * (2024/07/08) A mainland entertainment platform and a TVB official social media platform co-organizd "THE TVB MEMORIEs IN YOUR HEARTS" event recently came to an end. Bobby Auyeung Chun Wai became the "people's choice television best actor" in an online poll. Auyeung Chun Wa thanked the general public for their years of support and love for him. Speaking of his latest work arrangement, he said, "Earlier I signed with a new management compnay, and work has already begun one after another. Probably next month or after I would go to Malaysia to make a movie. I hope under this new environment I would be able to something new to the audience. I hope every viewer would accept me as this actors who is making new attempts. I would work extra hard to thank each viewer and fan." Recently he has announced that he has signed with Emperor Entertainment. In terms of experience he could be without any contractual bind, so this sudden "club change" was quite a surprise! The always humorous Auyeung Chun Wa joked, "Someone does want to tie me down! I have been at TVB for years, watching many people promoted from assistant directors to directors, then again pronmoted to producers. Many people would feel that they would not need to advise me in anything. In my memory the only director who has taught me acting was Man Wai Hung (Jazz Boon). He directed DICEY BUSINESS, which earned me the 35th International Emmy Best Actor award nomination. Indeed on television, I am considered a veteran actor, an 'old seafood' if you want to be a little funnier. Because many people feel I have already worked for so many years, I wouldn't need to be taught. They could just let me freestyle. The worst was that some people would due to generational issue mind giving me advice. Even if someone was willing, they might be told, 'It's fine, you advise Auyeung Chun Wa? Every one of his series is making money for the company, it only depends on how much; on the other hand after your advice, if he gets upset and want to quit then what?' So now I really want to experience the feeling of being a newcomer and getting advice from others, because no one is perfect; even more importantly, I have made television series for so many years but I haven't seriously made movies; however I wouldn't completely leave television, with the right role I would very gladly return to TVB. Our relationship is great. What abilities do I have to make the relationship poor? Haha. Ultimately, now I really want to try the onmvies. I have handed my entire person over to Emperor Entertainment, becoming a new comer and learning anew." With his "rating luck" he crossed over to the big screen, was he confident that he would have "box office luck"? Auyeung Chun Wa said, " I would be very happy just to be 'stuck' to a good box office movie. Of course I hope I have this luck, and for my value to be appreciated. Actually I haven't thought about playing the lead, nor am I in any hurry. One step at a time, I would first familiarize myself with the film format, and play some roles to test the water; I would like the most to play a character, this character might not have a lot of screen time but have a lot of potential, or have a turning point in the entire film." Did he have anyone he would like to work with? He stated Best Actress Kara Wai Ying Hung. He pointed out that they have known each other for over 30 years but have never had an opportunity to work together before. Speaking of Sister Hung as a good fighter, he laughed and said, "I am not afraid, working with her in a fight scene she definitely would be more scared than me. She would be afraid for injuring me! I really hope to be able to work with her. If I have this opportunity, I would gladly accept any genre." Emperor's big productions in recent years have all been action films. For example Nick Cheung Ka Fai in BURSTING POINT (BAU LIT DIM) had to run nonstop and had one explosion scene after another, even Ka Fai has said "Really with a little less physical ability I wouldn't have been able to handle them!" Auyeung Chun Wa said that he would try his best with any movie he would run into. He also believed that the company would choose suitable performance for him because each person would have their strong suit. For example he would not demand to play an "idol to tens of thousands". How about a "romantic action" film? He humorously said, "I can, but it doesn't mean I would be able to play it well. In addition I definitely wouldn't be the one who really enjoys making it. Actually I am very shy. I have made intimate scenes before with (Amy) Chan Sau Man, (Esther) Kwan Wing Ho and (Yoyo) Mung Ka Wai, I was at their mercy. My wife wouldn't have any difference of opinion about me making this type of scenes, she even really likes to watch......watch how fake my performance would be." Joining a new company, he said that the new company and the new job have been the best birthday presents on his birth month since he has not been as active as now in a very long time. He hoped the new company would be able to give people the impression of a different Auyeung Chun Wa. What else was he after in life and on his show business journey? Just jumping out of his work "comfort zone", he actually said that he was after peace! He explained, "The so-called peace doesn't refer to relaxing. People used to say 'just do it', now my view on life is 'if I don't want to, don't do it'. The meaning of not doing it isn't being lazy, but before I would not feel right to turn people down when they asked me to work. Now I hope to work for me. If I don't want to or I am not happy, then I might as not do it. Tha way I wouldn't complain and blame after doing it." * (2024/07/07) The Best Actor Simon Yam Tat Wa and Louis Koo Tin Lok starred new film MASTERMIND (JING JIN) announced its production wrap after a month of low key production. Two nights ago the team held its wrap banquet. Yam Tat Wa and Goo Jai even turned into fortune gods and dug into their wallets for cash prizes for the lucky drawing. Yam Tat Wa said, "This film's cast and crew have had a very rough production, almost everyday we went for 16 or 17 hours. That atmosphere that day was great, feeling like we had a New Year's Eve feast. Goo Jai, the film company boss and I all took out money for the lucky drawing, everyone won at least HK$ 3000. Someone even took 10,000 home. It doesn't matter, the most important is for everyone to be happy." * (2024/07/06) THE SPARRING PARTNER (JING YI WUI LONG) team produced, Tam Kwong Yuen directed, Philip Yung Tsz Kwong produced film FAT MAI CHONG (LEGAL HIDE AND SEEK) was heating up in production. The film was based on the corpse-hiding case in a cardboard box that shocked the city in 1974. In addition to Edan Lui Cheuk On, the long-absent actor Isabella Leong Lok Si, Patrick Tam Yu Man, Alfred Cheung Kin Ting, Sabrina Ng Bing, Will Or Wai Lam, Sabrina Cheung Man Sha, Lung Siu Kwan and Jo Koo (Kuk Cho Lam) also performed in the strong cast. After days of visiting the location shoots, in addition to the appearance of Edan played younger version of Auyeung Bing Keung, the costumes of the actors have also been exposed one after another. The story reportedly began in the 1970s. Edan played the younger version of Auyeung Bing Keung, and Sabrina Ng Bing played the female victim in the case. When Edan attended an event at the end of May, he revealed that the character in the new film would have several age group performances, and also a lot of emotional scenes that would be very challenging. Around 4pm a few days ago, Edan was seen in Aberdeen, Hong Kong for a location shoot for the movie. His manager, Sister Fa, was present for the whole process. The production location also had quite a full lineup. The crew occupied almost half of the street. In addition to renting a few shops and cafes to set up photography equipment, a diner was constructed for the shoot. The shoot mainly took place in a diner that day. Edan appeared in a retro outfit, a black shirt and trousers paired with a purple jacket. The look was quite breakthrough. The most eye-catching was Edan's 70s hairstyle, he wore a long-haired wig with "drips" (side burns) on both sides, which was full of a mobster flavor. During the scene it was raining heavily, so the crew was seen carrying a big hose to sprinkle water while Edan braved the rain and dragged Ah Bing into the diner. During the break, Edan, who has always been the "fun guy", also talked and laughed with the staff and made the atmosphere very happy. The third disbandment of the support club has not affected his mood. In addition, the team recently went to Shau Kei Wan for a location shoot. Around 3 PM, Isabella Leong Lok Si, Will Or Wai Lam, Sabrina Cheung Man Sha, Lung Siu Kwan, Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Jo Koo (Kuk Cho Lam), Alfred Cheung Kin Ting and others appeared. The entire tram terminus was sealed up with a giant blue screen on Main Street East and decorated to match the plot of the movie to become the "Happy Valley Terminal". Two more shops were rented and turned into the scene of the murder "Shui Lam Ice Cream Shop". The production was meticulous and serious. The scene being shot that day was mainly about the judge leading a team of lawyers from both the prosecution and the defense and jurors to inspect the ice cream shop, then moved a large carton in and out to re-enact the case. During the period, Leong Lok Si appeared in a beige Chinese qipao and a suit jacket. She had been observing the re-enactment of the case in the crowd, and once got so emotional that she got choked up. She was probably playing the role of a suspect or a family member of the victim. While waiting to take her mark, Leong Lok Si, who has not been seen for a long time, was in a good mood. She was talking and laughing with Tam Yiu Man with her arm on his shoulder, showing a relaxed attitude. In appearance she was in rather good shape; when Tam Yiu Man met a passerby who asked for a photo, he responded to all requests and was very friendly to the people. During his break, Or Wai Lam often held and played with a cute little sister with an abundance of fatherly love. The corpse-in-a-cardboard box case, one of the "Top Ten Mysterious Cases in Hong Kong", has been adapted into film and television works many times. In addition to the 1993 Simon Yam Tat Wa and Cecilia Yip Tung film THE FINAL JUDGEMENT, in the same year was also the Liu Wai Hung and Sheung Tin Ngor starred television movie JUSTICE IS BLIND. After 30 years, it has been remade into a movie again. A recent episode of the TVB news program BE OUR GUESS revealed that Auyeung Bing Keung passed away due to illness in 2022 at the age of 74. * (2024/07/06) The Asian Film Awards Academy organized, the Cultural and Creative Industry Development Office and the Film Development Fund funded and co-organized HONG KONG FILM GALA PRESENTATION AND DYNAMIC CITYSCAPES OF HONG KONG FILMS EXHIBITION opened in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on July 3 at the Factory, the largest cultural and creative park in Southeast Asia. Many Hong Kong filmmakers in front of and behind the scenes include TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) producer Chan Law Chiu, producer John Chong Ching, actor Josev Lau (Kiu Ching Fu), OUT OF THE SHADOW (NGOR DAI DIK YUN TUI SUN WOOT) director Ricky Ko Chi Bun and actress Larine Tang Yueping, AS IT BURNS (BAK JAU YU FUN) producer Kinne Cheung Kit Nei attended the opening to kick off the "Hong Kong Film Gala Presentation" screening event that would be held from July 3 to 7 and the "Dynamic Cityscapes of Hong Kong Film Exhibition" that would be on display until August 4. This event will be held for the first time in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, during which seven selected Hong Kong films will be screened. They would include TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN, THE GOLDFINGER, OUT OF THE SHADOW, FLY ME TO THE MOON, AS IT BURNS, I DID IT MY WAY and IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (FA YEUNG NIN WA). In addition to screenings, there will also be conversations and interviews with filmmakers, and the "Dynamic Cityscapes of Hong Kong Film Exhibition" that will recreate impressive scenes from six recent Hong Kong films and showcase the diversity of Hong Kong's urban landscape and life culture. TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN attracted an attendance of more than 1.59 million. With a box office approaching HK$ 110 million, it has become the Hong Kong film with the highest attendance. When the good news came, the film team included producer Chan Law Chiu, producer John Chong Ching, executive producer Kinnie Cheung Kit Nei and actor Josev Lau (Kiu Ching Fu) have just arrived in Phnom Penh to attend the opening event of the "Hong Kong Film Gala Presentation" Cambodia stop. Upon receiving this exciting good news, producer Chan Law Chiu said, "Everyday the box office performance is a surprise. The good news coming from all over the world and the love by audiences in many places have made us more confident in this film. The film will next be released in four to five countries in Asia, including Japan and South Korea. I hope more audiences will like TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS and Hong Kong movies." Actor Kiu Ching Fu said, "The feeling of breaking a record is very dreamy, like the feeling of making history. I feel very honored to be able to participate in it." Producer Chong Ching, director Soi Cheang Pou Soi, the cast and the crew were also happy. When the team came to Phnom Penh, they were pleasantly surprised by the rapid development of the place and felt the enthusiasm of the locals. After the screening, the audience responded enthusiastically and asked in-depth questions, which showed that they were quite attentive while watching the movie. Producer Chan Law Chiu was particularly impressed by the Dynamic Cityscapes of Hong Kong Films Exhibition held at the event. "They found a lot of antique TV sets and nostalgic products, not only from the sets from TWILIGHT, but also from other movies like the neon signs from A LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT (DUN FOR LAN SHAN), the classroom from TIME STILL TURNS THE PAGES (NIN SIU YUT GEI), the gold vault of THE GOLDFINGER (GUM SAU JI), all of which had a lot of thought put into them." OUT OF THE SHADOW director Ricky Ko Chi Bun had a very good first impression of Phnom Penh. "There are many high-rise buildings and foreign restaurants here. The economy has taken off. The hotels we stayed in and restaurants made me feel that the locals are very friendly. Here the coffee was very good, and it was quite a surprise." Actress Larine Tang Yueping, who attended the event on behalf of the film, also praised the locals for being friendly and smiling. She felt that the locals loved Hong Kong movies, which instantly filled her with enthusiasm and made her want to hurry and make more good movies in Hong Kong. At the same time she was also encouraged by the success of TWILIGHT. "TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS has recently set off a craze in different Asian countries and brought glory to Hong Kong, which has made me proud to be a part of Hong Kong movies. I hope investors and producers can have more confidence in Hong Kong movies." Tang Yueping said that she was very popular when she attended the event. In addition to the audience constantly inviting her to take photos, the host of the event even asked her if she had time to go sightseeing in the local area and offered to be her tour guide. She was flattered. * (2024/07/05) Music diva Joey Yung Cho Yee yesterday along with artists Raymond Lam Fung, Chrissie Chau Sau Na and others appeared at a label event at Causeway Bay. Recently Joey has been rumored to be in a relationship with female mainland director Li Xuan, which has led their fans into a war of words as suspected Joey fans commented on Li Xuan's Weibo, "I beg you to keep your distance from her." Li Xuan replied, "Maybe you should be a little further." and upset her fans. Joey said, "Actually it's not gossp, we are friends. I feel it's something minor, just needing a little time to digest. No need to be too worried." She has gotten an understanding with her fans, they were all very sensible. Many voices are online, who would know which ones are from real fans. The most important was to be herself. Would she and Li Xuan see each other less to avoid rumors? She said that lately she has been in the mainland less. Joey said that she used the world's best tape to prevent wardrobe malfunction and was very safe. She was also pleased with her tablet figure and stated that she liked her figure not to be three dimensional. "I still like 2D, haha! In fashion I wouldn't divert other people's attention, so they can focus on appreciation the fashion." In preparation for her concert series in Macau starting on the 13th, Joey after the event would put herself away to rest and get ready. Because of the scheduling conflict with Twins' mainland concert tour, she would not be able to support them but she would try to meet them in England at the end of the year. Speaking of being mistaken for Korean girl group BLACKPINK's Jennie online, Joey asked, "Did you mistype? Maybe because both of our names start with J." She said that she liked Jennie but did not see the resemblance, and joked that she could be Jennie's older cousin. In addition, Joey earlier worked with Edan Lui Cheuk On on an online music program and even invited him to rehearse. Joey admitted that she was very surprised that the feeling was great, everyone sang and chatted without any generational gap. "Actually I was very nervous, because I rarely sing on online music platforms. (Leo) Ku Kui Ke was the one who asked me to go, but I wanted to be fully prepared before recording. So I asked Edan if he would be interested in rehearsing together. At first he said that he was busy and would rehearse himself. In the end we still got together to rehearse, everyone met and got to know each other. On the next day when we sang together we weren't strangers. When we officially taped we were much better. He is a smart kid, I know he has put in the effort to rehearse and knows how to play the piano on the spot." Joey said that she would like to work with more new generation singers, but everything would depend on fate. She appreciated both moon tang (Tang Hoi Man) and AGA (Kong Hoi Ka) and hoped to have the opportunity to work with them. In her upcoming concert, she would also sing the new song that AGA created for her. Rising in popularity again with the film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING), Raymond Lam Fung has been attending different events over the past few months and his wallet has been said to be swollen. He joked that the expense of raising children was enormous. TWILIGHT's Hong Kong and Macau total box office has exceeded HK$ 110 million, another 10 million away from the top spot among Hong KOng films and breaking A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG)'s box office record. Lam Fung said that the film's global cumulative box office has surpassed HK$ 900 million, which he already felt happy about and has exceeded expectation. "Now I hope to continue the hard work, the box office rise would need everyone's support. I very much look forward to the later productions of the sequel and the final chapter to perform even better." Would he feel any pressure? He felt that director Soi Cheang Pou Soi and the film company had even greater pressure. He would turn it into motivation and everything would depend on the director's requests. Would his fellow guest Chrissie Chau Sau Na like to join the TWILIGHT performance? Lam Fung answered for her, "She can really fight!" Sister Na said, "I can train for action, I have made action films before." Chau Sau Na stated that she liked making action films and felt that they could train her agility. She said that she has watched TWILIGHT and really liked it, as she felt it had a very personal characteristic. Erarlier she has made a Cheang Pou Soi produced movie and hoped that they would work together on a movie he would direct. Speaking of her recently completed film production DAI FUN JUNG (BIG SPLIT, tentative title) being forced into night shoots to supposedly accommodate MIRROR member Anson Kong's schedule, she said that the arrangements were made long ago. They had emotional scenes that required additional shoots. Would they have to add "kiss scenes"? She said, "Kissing is very minor, the most difficult emotional scenes to shoot is how to make two people like each other." Lam Fung joked, "Intimate scenes are also called action scenes!" when asked which "action scenes" Sister Na has made? She joked that her emotional scenes with AK were passionate. "They were already shot, and were very passionate. My arms are all sprained, and I feel sore all over -- because I have to bowl!" Also on hand was the "Goddess Successor" Shum Yuet. She said that she grew up watching Mama Chingmy Yau Suk Ching's movies and praised Mommy as the world's most beautiful goddess. She also revealed tht she has received many scripts, but her family worried that film production would be too tough on her and turned them all down. She was writing a romantic science fiction screenplay about artificial intelligence and hoped to work toward becoming a screenwriter. As for some suggesting that she should compete in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, she said that she would treat that as a compliment. * (2024/07/04) Jacky Cheung Hok Yau has not made a movie in 8 years. This time he performed in CUSTOMS FRONTLINE (HOI GUAN JIN SIN) all because of Nicholas Tse Ting Fung. The character he played in the film was a high-functioning bipolar disorder patient. Hok Yau revealed that he had suffered from depression symptoms in the past, so he could use his own experience to perform; In addition to performing this time, Ting Fung also served as the action director. He performed all the action scenes personally in his best condition, no wonder director Herman Yau Lai To had to add a last minute "shirt removal" scene to show off his fit figure. Eight years after the movie HELIOS (CHET DOH), Cheung Hok Yau performed in CUSTOMS FRONTLINE (HOI GUAN JIN SIN). He pointed out that he and Ting Fung have collaborated in BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS (SUP YUET WAI SING), but he was done as soon as he appeared, so he did not meet most of the actors. Ting Fung also recalled that they passed each other on the set of HOT SUMMER DAYS (CHUEN SING YIT LUEN YIT LAT LAT) without officially acting opposite each other. Hok Yau stared at Ting Fung and said, "I accepted this role for Ting Fung. I haven't made a movie in 8 years. When I returned to the set, I was happy to see a lot of people; but at first, I felt a bit strange when filming and very different from those of them who were so natural." This time being able to work officially with Hok Yau, Ting Fung truly was very pleased. Hok Yau was even willing to sing the film theme song VERY FAR PLACE, which Ting Fung composed. Why did Ting Fung not sing with Hok Yau? He said, "I wouldn't dare. I couldn't sing it. It's not my genre." Hok Yau revealed that Ting Fung has said if the film would perform well at the box office, he would sing it once live. Hok Yau joked that the director "forced" him to play a senior customs inspector suffering from high-functioning bipolar disorder. He revealed that this time he drew on his own experience to get into the role. "City people all have some depression, so I have looked into symptoms that are similar to mine like being short of breath and feeling like a big rock was pressing against the chest. Most were aftermath of some major evens or concerts." He too was uncertain whether the appearance of these symptoms were due to depression after a concert, but he has tried to force himself to eat something despite having no appetite. Hok Yau already exercised regularly, has it helped? He said, "I don't know if I am hyperactive. When I can't breathe, I feel particularly want to move so I can focus on something else. In fact, when I was younger, I often couldn't breathe so I couldn't sleep. It felt like claustrophobia when I had to go outside. I have also waken up but couldn’t go back to sleep." When asked if Hok Yau has sought medical treatment, he laughed and said, "I haven't, because I am afraid of being called crazy. Now that I am older, I am not afraid of talking about it!" Hok Yau performed for Ting Fung, and Ting Fung also specifically came up with stunts for Hok Yau. Ting Fung was full of praise for Hok Yau's hand-to-hand combat scene with a baton. He said that he knew his co-star loved to play tennis, so he specifically designed the fight scene for him. "I thought wielding a baton would be natural for him." Hok Yau joked that a few of the moves were indeed similar to playing tennis, but in terms of performance, this was Ting Fung's specialty as he performed 90% of the fights. Hok Yau in return praised Ting Fung for being an even better fighter. "He's so skilled, even if I would knock him down, it would have just been forced." However, Hok Yau was called "the copy machine" on the set because of his high comprehension skills and able to perform what he just learned. The stunt team once planned to spend 8 hours on an action scene, but he only took 4 hours to complete it. Hok Yau made fun of himself as he received praise. "They took my age into consideration. They thought the shoot would a little time so they put time on the schedule, but it was just a few moves; so I finished the shoot very quickly." When asked Ting Fung if he thought Hok Yau had the potential to be an action actor? Ting Fung said that when he saw Hok Yau performing a split in concert he knew Hok Yau had the potential. Hok Yau defended himself that he was once an action actor, and there were no stunt double at that time. However, Hok Yau did not want to be an action actor anymore. If he said that he was good at action 30 years ago, it would be useless now. What other roles would he want to play? Jacky said he neither wanted to try, nor was he eager to win an award. "I don't have much time left, so I would choose singing. I want to focus on one thing. I have only made a movie in 8 years, in another 8 I will be in my 70s or 80s later. What kind of movie would I be able to make? I won't be able to work Ting Fung's martial arts action, so I want to do what I like or am good at." Ting Fung threw himself into his action performance, among which were many dangerous scenes. He pointed out that he has filmed the on fire scene in previous movies, so it was not as dangerous as the major scene of the hanging container. He pointed out that the filming was more complicated, as many infrastructure props weighed almost over a ton and the ship was very heavy. "If I fell off the platform I would be bruised and broken, but if something that weighed a ton smashed over there would definitely be problems. We all had to be careful. We practiced that scene for half a month, but due to rain we only filmed it for two minutes." Ting Fung has become addicted to being an action director. He recently collaborated with Andy Lau Tak Wa in RAGING HAVOC (NO FOR MAN YIN) and continued to work even harder as an action director. Because CUSTOMS FRONTLINE was about customs officers, the action was a bit "restrained"; but the filming was relatively human. In the film his character was very principled and did not like to communicate with others. Ting Fung bluntly said that the character's personality was very similar to his own as he did not like to be with other people either, but as an action director he had to communicate with the whole team. However when actors were able to meet his demands and present the the desired picture for the audience to enjoy, he indeed had a great sense of satisfaction. Ting Fung has developed a lot of muscles earlier, so the director specifically arranged for a shirt-removing scene for him. Ting Fung said with a smile, "I wasn't training on purpose. Since the shoot ran into the epidemic, I naturally became thinner. The director during the shoot suddenly told me I would have to take off my shirt later." Ho Yau laughed and pointed out that he has not seen Ting Fung's abdominal muscles, and even reached out to touch him. Ting Fung laughed and said that keeping them would be very difficult, now he would probably only have one pack left. Hok Yau smiled and said, "Wow, they are still there. I felt that there are three layers! I have never thought about showing up muscles in my entire life, nor have I ever thought about relying on my acting skills. I only plan to rely on my voice and blab!" [ In Production Now/Soon ] Can : FAT MAI CHONG Lit : LEGAL HIDE AND SEEK d.

The offer is refused, but Choi later becomes Dr Man's involuntary patient after a particularly egregious night of driving. Dr Man has his own personal issues: his motto is "I think a doctor should do more than prescribe meds," which means a doctor should also investigate his patients secretly in defiance of common sense and hospital protocol. In a parallel to Choi, Dr Man also has sleeping issues. He suffers from disturbing dreams of his deceased mother, which hints at a secret involving his father, and perhaps some repressed memories.

Fate draws her to a local church infested with illicit drug-dealing activities. She soon realizes her connection to that church is more personal than expected as there's a link to her family's past. Should she simply stay in the shadows and pray for a miracle, or put her karate chops to good use? An rejuvenated ode to both THE KARATE KID and the action heroines of Hong Kong’s Golden Age, the latest from director Ricky Ko after his award-winning TIME (Fantasia 2021) once again nicely combines nostalgia and modernity with a potent mix of martial arts, humour, sweetness, and compelling characters, OUT OF THE SHADOW offers a guaranteed good time, a reminder of why we love HK movies so much in the first place.

However, people are in need and Po decides to take action after learning a little karate.

Ricky KO, director of Time (2021, OAFF2022), delivers a playful vigilante film, complete with laughs, fighting, Cantonese humour, and a touch of family drama unfold in the beautiful setting of Tai O.
