MISCELLANEOUS * (2025/02/19) Nick Cheung Ka Fai yesterday in order to support his junior colleague Chung Suet Ying took time to attend the premiere of the movie THE WAY WE TALK (HONG NGOR SUM TIN JUM MOR SUET). Cheung Ka Fai said that during the film festival in Italy earlier, he happened to meet THE LYRICIST WANNABE (TIN CHI L)'s Chung Suet Ying and director Norris Wong Yi Lam and took the opportunity to invite them to attend the premiere of the new film PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) later. He did not expect that THE WAY We TALK would be released even earlier. He had no reason not to support Chung Suet Ying first, so he made the trip to show his support. He even said that Chung Suet Ying had a plan. She did not notify him about her film release so he would take the initiative to show his support. He knew that she started as a singer. "Now her development is a little better. She is an actor hindered by her singer identity, I am just the opposite. My singing is pretty good." Would they collaborate on music? He smiled and said, "If we have the opportunity we can talk again, we can write a new version of 'Lovesick in the Storm' (SEUNG SZE FUNG YU JUNG) duet." He praised Chung Suet Ying for having character, her acting skills were not "conformist" and very unusual, and he liked and appreciated her. Would they have opportunities to act together? He said that he has not worked on an early Republic film in a very long time. "Even if we work together we would just play a couple! I will leave that to fate. If we have the opportunity to work together of course it would be good. I want to tailor made something but I haven't yet, let's go everyone! " Chung Suet Ying said that she also wanted to play a couple with Cheung Ka Fai, an ancient costumes film would be the best. Speaking of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards announcing its list of nominees a few days ago, did he have any thoughts about the Best Actor and Best Actress? Cheung Ka Fai said because he had many friends, he could not publicly support any nominated actor. "My thought is no matter who wins it's good, everyone deserves encouragement. (Is Chung Suet Ying your favorite to win?) I can't publicly say anything like this, I would be happy for all the winners." Would he pick his old buddy Sean Lau Ching Wan to win the Best Actor? He said, "I heard that he is a big favorite, anyone with the skills deserves it. If he truly performs well then he would win! We can't say he has won before and not give it to him." Chung Suet Ying and Yau Hawk Sau were nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress and Best Actor respectively, were they confident about winning the award? Chung Suet Ying expressed confidence that she would not faint from hunger, as she would prepare a large number of snacks to attend the award ceremony. Yau Hawk Sau said he was confident about second place, describing the list of nominees as "five generations at the same place". He already felt honored just to be nominated. Speaking of his girlfriend Jessica (Chan Yi Chun) was accused of traveling and holding hands with musician Billy Choi (Choi Sing Yan)? Yau Hawk Sau said that his relationship with his girlfriend was OK, and he already knew that the two of them were going to shoot music videos in other places. * (2025/02/19) The movie LITTLE RED SWEET (HUNG DAU) is set in an old-fashioned Tong Shui shop in Kowloon City, telling a heartwarming story about family, love and choice. Through this work, director Vincent Chow Wing not only shows the changes of the times in Hong Kong, but also captures the unique human touch and spirit of the city, showing the traditional concepts, thoughts and persistence of the previous generation towards people and things, and telling the choices of women today in the face of love, family and career. Kowloon City used to be one of the most hectic places in Hong Kong, but as the city grew it gradually faced demolition and renovation. Director Chow Ying revealed, "Seeing the news that Kowloon City began to be demolished, trigging me to use Kowloon City to develop this story. The story takes place in Cheung Hing Kee's Tangshui Shop. Before filming I considered whether it was better to shoot in Kowloon City or build a studio set. Finally I decided to shoot on the set, which could make it easier to control the time and lens use." Yam Tak Wah's role in the movie shows the strong human touch of Hong Kong through the story of the Tong Shui shop. "A lot of love stories and human touches happen in Hong Kong. Through the story of LITTLE RED SWEET, the human touch of the Hong Kong climate will always exist." Fong Ping said, "Everyone is living in the changing times, change and progress are inevitable. Exhibit the spirit of Hong Kong and support this old store together, making it the best." * (2025/02/18) This year the Hong Kong Lunar New Year film had sluggish performances.

The cuts include the fight between Ne Zha and the Dragon King in the East Sea at the beginning of the movie, as well as the fight scenes of Ao Bing, Ne Zha and the other three Great Dragon Kings. As the NE ZHA 2 whirlwind hit Hong Kong, tonight at the premiere ceremony on the first floor of the Jade Pearl Plaza in Causeway Bay, bosses of co-distributors Mandarin Motion Pictures and Emperor Motion Pictures, Raymond Wong Pak Ming and Albert Yeung Sau Sing, executive deputy director of the National Film Bureau Mao Yu, chairman of Bauhinia Culture Group Xu Zhengzhong, secretary-general of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government Wang Songmiao, and the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau secretary Rosanna Law Shuk Pui attended as officiating guests, as well as director of the Office of the National Film Administration Lu Lixian, director of the Art Division of the National Film Administration Zhong Minglan, director of the Import Division of the National Film Administration Jiang Xiaoling, Film and Television Director of Bauhinia Culture Group Deng Wugui, and Deputy Director of the Publicity, Culture and Sports Department of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government Li Shuguang, etc. NE ZHA 2 is expected to open in Hong Kong on February 27th 2025 (next Thursday); the film would be a joint distribution of the four great cinema circuits Emperor, MCL, Sil-Metropole and Cinema City.

The two films collected 16 million and 12.5 million US dollars (about 124 million and 97.5 million Hong Kong dollars) respectively. The Rotten Tomatoes film review website in the United States only gave "Captain America 4" a barely passing score of 51% but the audience's favorability rate reached 80%, reflecting that the audience voted for it with real money.

"The ending would make your heart ache, especially Fat Gor's scene (the hearing) would crush your heart."

Although the two had arguments, their relationship was not damaged. Used to being an actor, Keung Ho Man also "leveled up" to also be the producer this time. He understood that the success of a movie required the joint efforts of many people behind it, so he learned to be considerate and hold down his temper. Yin Ning admitted that she had selfish intentions as a screenwriter this time, tailor-made a script for her husband for him to play two roles by himself. He was also able to bust out his inner comedic genes, so she hoped that the audience would see her husband's breakthrough and have more aspects. The Keung Ho Man starred and co-produced with his wife Yin Ning HA HA HA HAPPY NEW YEAR was released on the second slot of the Lunar New Year. The film was their first husband and wife collaboration and Yin Ning's first time as a screenwriter. Many people in the circle do not like to work as a husband and wife or a couple team, fearing that arguments would affect the relationship. Hak Jai felt the same way, but in the end his wife's enthusiasm moved him. "Not just husband and wife, friction from good friends working together would affect the friendship. This collaboration was my wife's idea. She said that she would write a story for me to play. At first I thought she was joking; but the more she wrote, the more serious she became. She even contacted producers in Hong Kong and Malaysia, and finally asked me if I could do it. I was really shocked." As Hak Jai expected, arguments would happen on the set. He would say out of frustration, "Whatever you say!" Yin Ning said, "I like him like that the least; when I asked him for his opinion, he said that whatever you want, this is not the way to solve the problem." Hak Jai explained, "I gave a lot of opinions, but she said that none were useful." Yin Ning continued: "They really were useless, we couldn't connect. I wrote the script so I know best, when we couldn't connect mistakes would occur." They ultimately left the decision to the director. Yin Ning believed that working together as husband and wife had its good and bad. She joked that the advantages were saving on transportation money and time and facilitating communication, but the disadvantage was losing personal time. When he worked on a movie before, she was able to take time off. Now she had to complete the behind the work work and even had to go to the set to watch him in production. Hak Jai said that working with people who were too familiar with him, he could not throw tantrums and and had to "hold down" his temper. Indeed they had more friction, but he would very soon forgets it. Would they resist working together again? They said "no" in unison, Yin Ning felt that her husband has made progress after serving as a producer this time. He used to only start from the perspective of an actor, but this time he realized that behind the success of a film was a lot of people who have worked hard at the same time and learned to understand. Yin Ning admitted that she was selfish and wrote a script for her husband to play, because he has played many roles but he has never tried to play two roles by himself. He played both the good and evil roles, which was quite challenging and allowed his acting skills to reach another level. "I watched more than 100 movies, integrating different elements into one and then adding the strange thoughts of my husband from when he was a child. All of which were written into this script now. I am satisfied with my husband's performance, and I hope the audience can see the other side of Keung Ho Man. He hasn't acted in comedy for a long time, actually he has a lot of comedic genes." Hak Jai expressed that for one person to play two roles was a little difficult, basically he had to appear in every shot and did not get to rest. He said: "I used to be very cheerful, I don't know when I started to be unable to accept my smiling face. Maybe I was too involved in acting, so much so that I couldn't even relax with my family. Now I have to learn to relax slowly." Yin Ning revealed that if she would write a script for her husband again, he might not be the lead. She wanted him to promote newcomers with auxiliary roles, just like the music video of HA HA HA HAPPY NEW YEAR. She also arranged for him to cooperate with newcomers, "The music video cannot be described as perfect, but to give newcomers more opportunities; if I haven't tried how would I have reference and progress." Hak Jai joked that he was addicted to being a producer, and he learned a lot of behind-the-scenes knowledge from it. He also thanked the cast and the crew for the help, and he especially admired his wife's calmness in handling matters, "My wife told me to learn to let go, because many things cannot be changed; I can only accept it." Yin Ning said, "When he encounters difficulties during filming, he would be very nervous and not know what to do. I would tell him to calm down, stop for a while, think about it, God will always open another window for you, and then you can do it." Yin Ning had zero knowledge of filmmaking, like a sponge she has been constantly learning and absorbing. She said that she still had room for improvement and must continue to learn. * (2025/02/15) The Philip Keung Ho Man (Hak Jai) and his wife Yin Ning co-produced Lunar New Year movie HA HA HA HAPPY NEW YEAR is now in release. Hak Jai is also the leading actor, and his wife is in charge of writing the screenplay. This time his wife did her best for the movie, Hak Jai thanked her for her efforts and praised her for being worth 190 points. The Keung Ho Man (Hak Jai) and his wife Yin Ning co-produced Lunar New Year movie HA HA HA HAPPY NEW YEAR is now in release. Keung Ho Man is also the leading actor, while Yin Ning is in charge of the screenwriting. They also invited Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen), Sam Lee Chan Sam, DaDa Chan Jing, Bob Lam Sing Bun and others to perform. Growing up in a children's home, Hak Jai said that the film had elements of a children's home. During childhood he often thought that the Social Supervisory Committee would catch and sell the children, even breaking the children's legs or rebuilding them. He has also shared with his wife the uneasy thoughts at that time. This time they also added these elements into the film and thought it was rather interesting to be able to share his childhood emotions with everyone. Thank you for your understanding Yin Ning revealed that her husband has always wanted to make a Lunar New Year film, and she also kept it in her mind. She even imagined whether she could give this script to him for their wedding anniversary, but she never thought that it could be made into a film at that time. "I just tried to write it, wrote what he came up with. I then talked to some producers, and said that it must have laughter and moving spots. I want the New Year's film to have a happy New Year elements, I think the fireworks and firecrackers are so happy, and the streets are full of New Year's atmosphere! Malaysia is very fond of these things, and every year during the Lunar New Year I want to return to experience these atmospheres. I hope to bring these atmospheres to Hong Kong audiences, and Hong Kong actors to Malaysian audiences. I canalso put my husband's complex into it, and everyone win!" Although Keung Ho Man played two roles in the film, he bluntly said that they did not feel too difficult. Instead he felt a little pressure because he had to take care of the production as well, and his wife was very considerate of him. "My wife handled a lot of things, dealing with my trivial problems in the production too; so I think she has it worse because she doesn't know anything about this business. She has watched countless movies in order to write the script for this film." Hak Jai laughed and said that when his wife was dealing with the production matter, he also felt that she was a little stressed and struggling. "When seeing that something was really happening in the group, I asked my wife everyday before I even brushed my teeth, 'Is there a problem today?' Speaking of his wife's dedication to the film, how many points did he think she is worth? Hak Jai laughed and said, "190 points! She's really good, beyond my imagination." As for whether the cooperation between husband and wife has enhanced the relationship, Hak Jai admitted that they would have more friction, but when friction would occur, they would be clear about each other's practices. * (2025/02/15) The goddess of Taiwan's Lotte cheerleading team, Mizuki Lin Xiang performed in the Hong Kong Lunar New Year film for the first time in QUEEN OF MAHJONG (MA JEUK NUI WONG JUI NAM JAI). She said with a smile that she felt pleasantly surprised, happy and honored when she received a call from director Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum) to invite her to perform. This time, Lin Xiang appeared as the lead actress of the "film within the film" Her character was innocent and true, which she also felt similar to herself. Speaking of working with the lead actor of the "film within the film" Carlos Chan Ka Lok and the "intimate director" DaDa Chan Jing, Lin Xiang said with a smile that Chan Ka Lok felt very contrasting; he played a very cool role, but was very funny behind the camera. She praised DaDa as very professional, "We also rehearsed in Cantonese, and they would also translate the content to me to make it easier for me to integrate." Lin Xiang also pointed out that Chan Ka Lok and DaDa did not teach her to speak Cantonese, but they were also very patient and kept reciting for her. Were performing Hong Kong films and speaking Cantonese difficult? Lin Xiang admitted that they were very difficult, although so, she also showed off her Cantonese on the spot, "Hello! I'm Lin Xiang." Would she work hard to learn Cantonese and develop in Hong Kong? Lin Xiang said that she would work hard. As for unforgettable scenes, Lin Xiang smiled and pointed out that she had an argument scene with Chan Ka Lok, and admired him for doing his best to act in every shot. He even acted until his voice was hoarse. Regarding Shu Qi from Taiwan, who became popular after coming to develop in Hong Kong, would she be Lin Xiang's target? Lin Xiang said that if there would be a chance, she could try and see if the role and script would be suitable. * (2025/02/15) The 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards held a press conference yesterday to announce its nominees, and the award ceremony will be held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre on April 27th.

Yet during the announcements they had plenty of flaws, especially Marf who kept tripping over her own tongue and turned "art director" into "gourment director". George also made THE STUNTMAN (MO TAI DOH)'s Chinese title sound like "didn't see it". Tse Wing Yan did not even know how to read Marf's Chinese name and needed help from George. All three said later that they made mistakes because they were too nervous. Marf said that when the names reached her hands she was so nervous that she did not even converse. George admitted that he needed to improve his pronunciation, and Tse Wing Yan pointed out that at the time she could not think of Marf's Chinese name in her mind. THE LAST DANCE (POR.

Nominated for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay, Anselm Chan Mou Yin said, "We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the industry for their recognition of THE LAST DANCE and to continue the vitality and appeal of this work. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the global audience for their encouragement and support, so the team would be able to go even further." Nominated for Best Actor, Michael Hui Koon Man said, "I am very happy to receive the Hong Kong Film Awards nomination, and I am especially happy that THE LAST DANCE has received 18 nominations. From the beginning of the production to the release, this journey of THE LAST DANCE has gained far more than imagined. Thank you to the Hong Kong Film Awards voters and the audience for the recognition and support!" Nominated for Best Actress, Michelle Wai Sze Nga also said happily, "I am very honored to be nominated and would like to express my sincere gratitude to the director, screenwriter, production team and every actor partner. I hope that there will be more opportunities to perform different roles in the future, thank you to the voters and the audience for their love and support. I will definitely continue to work hard!" Tommy Chu Pak Hong with a "Best Supporting Actor" nomination said, "Thank God for all the arrangements, and thank you to the audience who liked THE LAST DANCE and the role of Kwok Chi Bun. I am very grateful and very touched, I hope to have the opportunity on the stage to receive this award on behalf of those who always have been supporting me at that time." Nominated for Best Supporting Actress with co-star Rachel Leung Yung Ting, Rosa Velasco (Wai Law Sha) said, "I'm so excited, so happy, because THE LAST DANCE has been nominated for multiple nominations. I cried silently when I heard my name; I was so happy to be nominated with my friends in this film, which is more important than getting the affirmation myself. This film is full of love and passion, thank you to all the friends who voted." Talented musician Terence Lam Ka Him also with the LAST theme song THE LAST DANCE received his first Best Original Film Song nomination. "Thank you to the film team for achieving this good work together. I hope every unit of the team would have good performance!" Recently a big hit in Japan, TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) received 14 Hong Kong Film Awards nominations. Nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor for the first time, Raymond Lam Fung responded, "First of all I would like to thank Director Cheang Pou Soi and Mr. (Louis) Koo Tin Lok for giving me the opportunity to play such a good role as 'Chan Lok Kwan', and I am also very grateful to the whole team of TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS for their help. I am really happy to have the opportunity to be a part of TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS! Thank you to every voter who voted for me, thank you! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!" Koo Tin Lok was only nominated for "Best Supporting Actor", but he was happy for the team. "I am very happy that the entire TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS team has received a number of nominations, which recognizes everyone's hard work. Thank you all for enjoying TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS, and I hope we can continue to get good results!" Also nominated for "Best Supporting Actor", Philip Ng Wan Lung said, "I am so surprised and happy. Seeing so many good actors who are also nominated, I will enjoy the process normally." The "Best Director" winner last year, Cheang Pou Soi was nominated again and had the opportunity to repeat. "I'm so glad that many colleagues have been nominated, and I hope everyone will reap the harvest in the end!" Commenting on the support of TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS from the industry, producer John Chong Ching said, "Thank you to director Cheang Pou Soi, Mr. Chan Law Chiu and every on and off screen members of the dream team! I hope that Hong Kong filmmakers will make persistent efforts to forge ahead bravely in the face of difficulties and create a better tomorrow!" In addition, TWILIGHT since its release in Japan has exceeded 150 million yen at the box office and over 100,000 viewers have attended as the "Walled City Fever" arose there. On the 23rd this month, Cheang Pou Soi, Koo Tin Lok, Lam Fung and others would head to Tokyo to meet with almost 1,000 viewers there. The film PAPA received 11 Hong Kong Film Awards nominations, and three-time Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor Sean Lau Ching Wan would also compete for the prize again. "Three of the four PAPA family members were nominated, which is simply overjoyed." Playing Lau Ching Wan's wife, Jo Koo (Kok Cho Lam) was nominated for the "Best Supporting Actress" and said excitedly, "I suddenly receive the news that I have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress and I feel very happy. This is the most beautiful Valentine's Day gift for me and Kam Yin (her film character); there are so many people I want to thank, I hope to have the opportunity to personally tell you on stage: Thank you!" Co-starring with Lau Ching Wan as son and father in his first film, Dylan So Man To was nominated for the "Best New Actor" award. When he received the news, he was in class. He said excitedly, "I am very excited and grateful to be nominated for the 'Best New Actor'! It is already a great honor to be able to compete with so many excellent actors. This affirmation is not only for me personally, but also for the efforts of the entire team and my performance director. I am very grateful to those who voted for PAPA, and I will continue to work hard!" In addition, Aaron Kwok Fu Sing was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards "Best Actor" with ROB N ROLL (LUM SI GIP ONG). "As an actor I try my best to play each role well. To being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards is certainly a happy thing, because it is absolutely an affirmation! I hope to share the happiness of this nomination with the ROB N ROLL team, thank you for your efforts to create 'Mui Lam Tin' together; and I really want to say: Thank you!" It is worth mentioning that actress Ann Bridgewater (On Pak Nei)'s daughter Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi) was nominated for "Best Actress". She admitted that she never thought she would be nominated, "Thank you very much everyone for liking this character, this story. This is already my greatest reward. I will continue to work hard. I hope everyone will continue to support Hong Kong films!" Chung Suet Ying and Tam Sin Yin could not hide their excitement when interviewed. Tam Sin Yin even stated that the news was too "heavyweight" that she wanted to properly digest it. Stephy Tang Lai Yan was nominated for "Best Supporting Actress" with LOVE LIES (NGOR TAM DIK NAM CHEUNG LUEN OI) and said happily, "This is my first supporting actress nomination, and being nominated feels so special. LOVE LIES is a First Feature Film Initiative film. With the government supporting the Hong Kong film industry, it s a very encouraging thing for the industry. The entire production process is so happy and a lot of fun! Now that Hong Kong films are facing difficulties, I hope everyone would continue to support Hong Kong films. Everyone and I will continue to work hard and will definitely survive!" MIRROR member Ian Chan Cheuk Yin with the film LAST SONG FOR YOU was nominated for Best New Performer. His film theme song duet with Dior Cheng Yi Kin was also nominated for Best Original Film Song. Also competing for the New Performer award would be Lau Wai Ming, Marco Ng Tsz Ho, Dylan So Man To and Marf Yau Yin Tung. Nominated with the film THE WAY WE TALK, Ng Tsz Ho thanked the event and voters for the recognition. HE admitted that he was already very pleased with the nominated. "A very sincere thank you to everyone on and off screen for their contribution. Thank you Hong Kong Film Awards for the love, I have already received my Valentine's Day gift. Ultimately I can answer to myself and the director!" In addition, Marf with the film BLOSSOM UNDER SOMEWHERE (GEI LIU YUT JING GOR CHUN TIN) was nominated for Best New Performer and with the film's theme song LAK1 KAK1 (LUT CUT) was nominated for "Best Original Film Song". She said that she was already very happy just to be nominated, and could not really react in time. She looked forward to walking the red carpet. Which award she would like to win more? She admitted that if she had to choose she would choose the song award, because she really liked this song. She believed that if it would win the behind the scene team would cry harder than she would. The Chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association Derek Yee Tung Sing said at the press conference, "Starting from the term of office of the current board of directors (2024-2026), the Hong Kong Film Awards Association is pleased to be joined by the Hong Kong Film Assistant Directors' Association, the Hong Kong Association for Pictures and Sound Production and the Hong Kong Visual Effects Association. The number of the Hong Kong Film Awards family of film professional member association has increased from 14 to 17, and the number of eligible first round voters of this year's Awards has increased to 2,050. It will not be lower than the Oscars, which will further enhance the professionalism, comprehensiveness and fairness of the awards, and at the same time mark the unity and development of the Hong Kong film industry, and further enhance the representativeness of the Hong Kong awards." Yee Tung Sing also announced the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards first round voting results. After verification by accountants, the number of valid votes was 1,313 with a turnout rate of 64.84%; the highest since the 40th edition in 2022. He urged "voters" to continue their enthusiastic support in the second round voting. Yee Tung Sing continued, "A total of 46 Hong Kong-made films are eligible to compete for the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards in 2024, which is slightly lower than the 50 films in 2023. The variety in film genres and the wide range of subjects, with the flood of on and off screen new talents in the domestic film industry in recent years, have injected even more vitality and topicality into Hong Kong films. It is gratifying to note that last year's two talked about films, TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED in (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) and THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) both exceeded HK$100 million at the box office. THE LAST DANCE even broke the all-time highest box office record set by last year's Hong Kong Film Awards Best Film A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG), and also set a new high of admission rate. This film has already become the most attended Hong Kong film in Hong Kong. In order to encourage more new directors to actively create and launch their works, the event also opened up the eligibility for the 'New Director' award to new co-directors to increase their chances of being nominated and competing." Yee Tung Sing stated that he of course would like the industry to have even more movies, the most ideal would be above 40. Even if the film production rate were to decline, the Hong Kong Film Awards would not disappear; its scale would only be smaller. The Hong Kong Film Critics Society announced it awards winners earlier. The HK$160 million box office record breaking THE LAST DANCE did not win an award and was only selected as one of the 10 recommended films. Man Jun attended a press conference yesterday and talked about the Hong Kong Film Awards nominations, and THE LAST DANCE received 18 nominations to become the most nominated film. "It's not a slap to the results of the Film Critics Society in the face, I myself am a founding member of the Film Critics Society. Only that everyone's election mechanism is different, the Hong Kong Film Awards is one vote per person, and the Film Critics Society is more than 20 people; after in-depth discussions, nominees are eliminated one by one. I talked about why THE LAST DANCE got the cold shoulder, which wasn't to fight for any awards for THE LAST DANCE. When a movie has such a box office, and so many national discussions have reached the phenomenal level, why is the movies not taken seriously when more than 20 people in the Critics Society discuss it? It doesn't matter if the movie doesn't win the award after speaking, I spoke from the bottom of my heart because it is a good movie that is hard to come by." Man Jun also pointed out that THE LAST DANCE should thank the Hong Kong Film Awards voters, with 18 nominations their hard work was not in vain. Man Jun said, "Most of the people in the Critics Society also know that these turmoil will pass, and I hope that those who have adhered to the principles will continue to adhere to it. Everyone will have a piece of heaven over their heads; the Film Critics Society would do what the Film Critics Society would do, and the Hong Kong Film Awards would do what the Hong Kong Film Awards would do. Only then would the film industry be healthy, this is my opinion."

The film was released in Hong Kong and became the new film box office champion. Another mainland Lunar New Year film OPERATION LEVIATHAN earlier flopped at the box office. The film company repeatedly said that it absolutely would not retreat. Yesterday the film has been released for 17 days, with a cumulative box office of 378 million yuan (about 404 million Hong Kong dollars). An official statement was issued to announce the withdrawal, and then a special edition will be released at a later date. The audience has different opinions on the withdrawal, some fans expressed regret, and some people look forward to seeing a better version. As for Hong Kong Lunar New Year films, Samantha Ko Hoi Ning and Chrissie Chau Sau Na recently continued to run the theaters for their movies. Chau Sau Na promoted and thanked the audience for HIT N FUN (LUM SI KUET DAU), and took selfies with German Cheung Man Kit and director Albert Mak Kai Kwong. During the Lunar New Year, she in order to create a festive atmosphere dressed her cat in Chinese costumes. Unfortunately the cat was not very happy and looked disgusted when taking pictures, which was quite funny. Ko Hoi Ning invited a group of elderly friends from the senior center to enjoy her work QUEEN OF MAHJONG (MA JEUK NUI WONG JUI NAM JAI), during which she was asked if she knew how to play mahjong. She said, "This New Year, I went to (Kenneth) Ma Kwok Ming's home and played mahjong with his wife, I won a 13 Orphans hand!" The audience was happy for her right away and applauded until their palms hurt. * (2025/02/14) Chung Suet Ying won the Best Actress at the 61st Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan last year for her hearing-impaired role in the movie THE WAY WE TALK (HONG NGOR GUM TIN JUM MOR SUET), and her acting skills were highly praised. Chung Suet Ying and Neo Yau Hawk Sau spent a whole year learning sign language in order to play their roles well. The former even fell in love with sign language because of this. Yau Hawk Sau said that in order to play the dear, he must do this well out of respect for the deaf. THE WAY WE TALK would open in Hong Kong next Thursday (20th). First time Golden Horse Best Actress Chung Suet Ying said that there was no box office pressure, and she welcomed the audience to attend the shows because they were curious about why she won the award. Yau Hawk Sau called on everyone to pay close attention to the scene between him and Chung Suet Ying at the Dai Pai Dong in the film, because director Wong Sau Ping used special treatment and deliberately did not add subtitles. The audience could experience the feeling of Chung Suet Ying's character being exposed to sign language for the first time. Chung Suet ing and Yau Hawk Sau starred in the Adam Wong Sau Ping directed THE WAY WE TALK (HONG NGOR GUM TIN JUM MOR SUET), which told the story of how three deaf young people who were not afraid of objective restrictions and used their own methods to open up the world. Yip Tsz Shun (Yau Hawk Sau) came from a deaf family, the world has never had sound. Although life was full of obstacles, he used sign language to live confidently. Fong So Yan (Chung Suet Ying) was implanted with a "cochlear implant" when she was a child, and she struggled to learn to speak. Even with a "deaf accent", she still worked hard to be a "normal person". Also using a cochlear implant, Alan (Marco Ng Tsz Ho) had similar oral language skills to Fong So Yan, knew sign language and was a close friend with Yip Tsz Shun. He believed that deaf people should try their best to communicate with different people and open up the world. The three became good friends due to the sign language, and through their friction they saw even more truth in life. In the face of prejudice and unfair systems in the outside world, they struggled in the undercurrent of the deaf community and seek the possibility of breaking through the sound barrier. Chung Suet Ying's character in the film did not know sign language at the beginning, then learned from Yau Hawk Sau. "The hardest thing during filming is that sometimes I have preconceived ideas, deconstruct what the character should be from the perspective of the hearing. This is always the story of the deaf people, and then through getting along with the deaf actors, taking sign language classes, I have more knowledge of the deaf world in the process. I usually see the other person's reaction through my eyes, and I began to get used to reading lips and paying attention to the body language when playing this role. The difficulty was to enter the deaf world to play the role, and I was happy to have learned even more." She revealed that she was very happy to have her first taste of snorkeling because of the film, and the most unforgettable thing was discovering that she fell in love with sign language. After Chung Suet Ying won the Golden Horse Awards Best Actress for the first time with the role of Fong So Yan. The movie will be released in Hong Kong on the 20th of this month. Would She feel that the audience would have great expectations for her? She said, "The pressure is not there, but I am grateful to the audience who watched the preview shows out of curiosity. During audience appreciation some viewers said that they came because they were curious about why I was able to win the prize. They even asked friends to go to the show as well. I think it's good, I hope everyone will be a little more curious, so more audiences will come to see our film. Each of the 200 audience members did a sign that they learned from watching this movie, which was very happy for me. Everyone tried to enter the world of the deaf, and then brought something home with them." Yau Hawk Sau said that because the character's native tongue was sign language, in addition to knowing it he must also be very proficient. He had to appear to the audience that he knew sign language since childhood, so he needed to spend more time to prepare. "There was plenty of time, I have studied for more than a year before performing in the film. I also feel that in order to play a deaf person, I must do this well. This is a sign of respect for the deaf. The most memorable thing is, of course, learning sign language; because it takes time to immerse myself. When the screenwriter writes the script, he writes in spoken dialogue that requires conversion to sign language to be performed. It is a translator's work. I have to communicate with the sign language teacher and director to determine whether every sentence of the sign language performance is in line with the original meaning. This went on from pre production to production, each scene of sign language had to be adjusted as well. This part is more detailed and tested skills." THE WAY WE TALK was filmed the summer before last, and he admitted that he has almost forgotten how to sign. What he remembered the most was "I have already forgotten all my sign language. Yau Hawk Sau said that the most labor-intensive scene in the film was the hot pot scene with the family at home, and how to present the barrier to sign language to communicate in a smoky environment. This scene has been rehearsed for a long time before filming, and he also thought that the result was very good, "Many scenes have to be rehearsed in advance, which is actually a good thing. Maybe foreign film rehearsals will take more time than us, but Hong Kong filming is expensive and the time that can be spent is usually less. I describe this movie as difficult happiness, and I have a long time to prepare to do this thing well." As for the most profound scene, Yau Hawk Sau strongly recommended the Dai Pai Dong scene with Chung Suet Ying. Because the director used special treatment and deliberately did not add subtitles, the audience could experience the feeling of Chung Suet Ying's character being exposed to sign language for the first time. * (2025/02/14) The mainland animated film NEZHA 2 broke 10 billion yuan RMB (about HK$10.6 billion) at the box office last night, setting a number of mainland box office records. Currently it is the only non-Hollywood film to occupy the top 20 box office in global film history. In 2019, NEZHA collected 5 billion (about HK$ 5.3 billion), and the original team produced NEZHA 2 that was released in the mainland on the first day of the Lunar New Year. So far it has continued to break mainland ticket records. Yesterday, Enlight and Mandarin Motion Pictures announced that NEZHA 2 would be distributed by Mandarin Motion Pictures, Intercontinental Pictures, Sil-Metropole Organization and Emperor Motion Pictures in Hong Kong and Macau. The cinema chains of the four distribution companies, Cinema City, MCL, Cinema Arts and Emperor Cinemas, would work together to arrange the release of "Nezha 2" as soon as possible for Hong Kong and Macao audiences to enjoy. Commenting on the distribution of NEZHA 2 this time, the Mandarin Motion Pictures chairman Raymond Wong Pak Ming said that he was very honored. "Mandarin Motion Pictures has been working with Enlight for many years. It is a great honor to be able to work with Enlight again this time, to bring such an excellent Chinese animated film to the Hong Kong and Macao markets, so that the audience can enjoy it in the cinema for themselves." NEZHA 2 was director Jiaozi with nearly 140 teams and more than 4,000 animators from all over the country created. Taking over 5 years to produce, the film continued the comedy style of NEZHA, with 3 times the number of characters and even more special effects shots. * (2025/02/14) In recent years the film industry has been full of difficulties. Many cinemas closed last year, and the situation is dire! Golden Harvest Cinemas announced yesterday the launch of ticket price discounts, hoping to attract audiences. Many artists such as Louis Cheung Kai Chung, DaDa Chan Jing, Philip Ng Wan Lung and Larine Tang Yueping expressed their support, hoping to unite and work together to fight the film winter! The film market is sluggish. The cinema business is sluggish as well, with nine cinemas announcing their closure or operation suspension last year. Golden Harvest Cinemas announced yesterday that its seven cinemas will launch new ticket prices starting tomorrow, with ordinary 2D movie tickets dropping to HK$ 40 for adults, HK$ 30 for children and students, and HK$ 20 for the elderly; while IMAX movie tickets are as low as HK$ 65 for adults, children and students, and HK$ 50 for the elderly. Golden Harvest said that the admission change will be carried out for a long time until further notice. After learning that cinemas have launched ticket price discounts to resist the cold winter of the film industry, the Lunar New Year film MY BEST BET (CHEUNG DOH BIT YANG)'s Louis Cheung Kai Chung bluntly said that it is a good way. "Now is the period that is full of challenges, we really need to find ways to maintain our business. Our film industry would have to continue to make more good films, and new subjects that are attractive to audiences. We have to do our best in hopes of giving the audience confidence to go to the cinemas. Hong Kong audiences are actually very supportive of the film industry, and we must continue to work hard." Participating in another Lunar New Year film QUEEN OF MAHJONG (MA JEUK NUI WONG JUI NAM JAI), DaDa Chan Jing also expressed her support. "Everyone is working together to survive the cold winter of the film industry, every ticket is a show of support. I also hope that the government can follow the example of other Asian regions in supporting the entertainment industry, which actually can also promote tourism development." Philip Ng Wan Lung also pointed out that the market was sluggish, and all walks of life must find ways to save themselves. He also pointed out that in recent years, filmmakers in the industry have cut their film salaries to support each other, and hoped that the government will continue to allocate funding so that everyone could make a diversity of films. Larine Tang Yue-Ping praised that the ticket discount could attract the audience. "The first time I went to the theater to watch a movie was when I was a student and didn't have much money. I went to the theater whenever I saw a discount. I think that having a good script and a good production are very important. Often times when I fly I would think, could a cinema be set up at the Hong Kong airport so people from all over the world would be able to watch Hong Kong movies?" In addition, the global box office of the mainland animation NEZHA 2 exceeded 10 billion yuan (about HK$10.7 billion). It knocked THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE to third place in the global animated film box office. Yesterday, it was reported that the film will be released in Hong Kong, and the audience can expect to see NEZHA 2 in Hong Kong. * (2025/02/13) The fourth installment of the DETECTIVE CHINATOWN film series, DETECTIVE CHINATOWN 1900", opened in the mainland and as of the 12th of this month its the box office revenue has exceeded 2.9 billion yuan. Its word-of-mouth and box office has been well received. Directors Chen Sicheng and Dai Mo shared their filming experience with two DETECTIVE CHINATOWN Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran, and the new addition "Chinatown Tong Lord" Chow Yun Fat (Fat Gor). Fat Gor this time was able to get along harmonious with the mainland production team very quickly because, in addition to the crew growing up with Fat Gor's film and television dramas, Fat Gor also served as a "running ambassador" during the filming. He took Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran on runs. Wang Baoqiang could not help but laugh and said, "I spent half an hour running four or five kilometers everyday, and then I feel very healthy when I start working." Regarding the DETECTIVE CHINATOWN series has broken the 10 billion yuan box office record so far. This time DETECTIVE CHINATOWN 1900 was the prequel and not the fourth installment, director Chen Sicheng said, "It happens to be the tenth anniversary of DETECTIVE CHINATOWN, for ten years we have been thinking about how can we tell this story more interestingly and more freely. When talking about Chinatown, actually there is no need to talk in detail about the origin of Chinatown, its history, why was there a Chinatown. When you look back on this period of history, you find that it is actually not a glorious place. In fact, it may represent some humiliation and backwardness of that era; so actually the more you dig into that era, the more stories and meanings you will find. In addition I have always said that history is the foundation, a mirror. I feel that history is circular. Today there have been huge changes in geopolitics and some new frictions and aggravations, I feel that I have to reflect and think because I feel that human beings should have a belief that they should be prepared for danger in times of peace; especially for us Chinese, because actually we haven't had a good life for many years. Hence I have always said that we need to have the mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace." Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran have already had chemistry from working together on DETECTIVE CHINATOWN. Did the addition of Fat Gor send sparks flying this time? Fat Gor joked, "I have the biggest harvest. I have accepted a disciple (Wang Baoqiang), a godson (Liu Haoran), and a biological son (Zhang Xincheng, the son in the film) who isn't here. Wang Baoqiang runs with me everyday; Liu Haoran does not come for a day, but then comes for two days." Wang Baoqiang immediately said with a smile, "The sparks went off as soon as I ran, and I spent half an hour running four or five kilometers everyday. Then I felt very healthy when I started working." Fat Gor praised Wang Baoqiang for running everyday, even when Fat Gor was not there, Wang Baoqiang still ran. When Fat Gor practiced Tai Chi, the Shaolin master Wang Baoqiang would teach him. With Fat Gor, was the set full of joy? Fat Gor smiled and said, "No fun, no fun at all, because I stayed on the set and didn't go out. They used to leave as soon as they finished filming, but now they don't dare to leave with me here, right? It's been very painful!" Did they have pressure from working with Fat Gor? Liu Haoran revealed that when he initially found out about working with Fat Gor, he felt a little pressure. Wang Baoqiang added, "After the first meeting, my concerns and worries went away. Because I have been watching Fat Gor's movies since childhood, as an adult he felt familiar to me. So it was great to be able to work with him this time, running and taking pictures together!" Fat Gor joked that they were probably in a lot of pain. Next time they should not make movies but change to make an animated film. Chen Sicheng revealed that the role of the San Francisco Chinatown Tong lord in the film was already written for Fat Gor when he wrote the script, and Fat Gor was the only one chosen to play the "final boss". He pointed out that his generation grew up watching Fat Gor's film and television dramas. Starting from THE BUND to THE GOD OF GAMBLERS, many of his images have accompanied everyone since childhood. Like Brother Baoqiang said, Fat Gor was no strangers to them. "This character not only represents a struggle of the Chinese people of that era, but also a big boss who had firm footing in the United States at that time. The key is that he should have the demeanor and style of an overseas Chinese, and there is no such person. The temperament of the actors in the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan is different, and the identity recognition is actually very important. Hong Kong actors have this image in their hearts and identities. Later Fat Gor also struggled with his Hollywood journey. There was really no other choice, so I want to find a way to ask the big boss to come out of the mountain!" Fat Gor performed in plain dialect and English dialogue in the film, especially in the major scene in the finale with a thought- provoking monologue in English. Was it difficult for him after make Hollywood movies? Fat Gor bluntly said that neither language was his native tongue, so he naturally felt a little pressured. However he thanked the film team for writing all the Putonghua in the script in pinyin, but the English dialogue in the first draft was written in 1900 Shakespearean English. He indicated that he once quit the performance. "I turned down the first draft when I received it. I felt that the English language of that era was too hard. Later when it was changed back to vernacular I was able to. Because the actors always had to understand, and if they did not understand acting would be difficult. In addition I had to speak Putonghua, neither of which were my native tongue. There is a bit of pressure. However at my age, I am very grateful to the director for giving me this opportunity, because actors always want new challenges, new excitement. Having two good actors complements each other even more." Fat Gor also thanked everyone on the spot for their encouragement. Liu Haoran also had a lot of English dialogues this time. He said that he also practiced well before filming, especially in the final scene of the appeal of the case. He had to deliver a lot of English dialogue. He was not good at the subject of English since childhood, but fortunately his previous film DECODED also used English when he worked with John Cusack. He hired a Hong Kong English teacher to follow him to the set to rehearse for him. Wang Baoqiang played the role of a Chinese native hunter in the film. Wearing only a vest on his upper body to expose his chest muscles, did he have to work out beforehand? He joked, "I didn't expect the character to wear so little clothes and show so much. I was relatively fat at the time, and I deliberately got a tan and lost weight for this role. Actually the character only needed to be lean and not big." He revealed that after losing weight, fat was reduced and he felt very cold when he worked at night. He was in better condition during the day because he would run before starting work, and he enjoyed the whole process. Liu Haoran broke out that his old partner has quit drinking for more than half a year before the start of filming. Wang Baoqiang explained that eating and drinking during the slimming period would only be in vain, so the diet should be strictly controlled. Chen Sicheng joked that Wang Baoqiang recklessly drank after the production wrap, and Wang Baoqiang joked that the muscles were gone because of the Lunar New Year.

In four chapters, Chan looks back at previous moments of resistance and revolution on the island: in 1967, 1973, and 1989. He shows how the activists of then are faring now. Some still burn with righteous fire, while others are disillusioned or have been bought off by the system. The past is presented in fictional scenes, with today's activists playing those of yesteryear. As one of the young demonstrators observes of her predecessor: "All the hardships he endured seem to be repeating in our generation." ONE WEEK FRIENDS d.

Unfolding in the faded opulence of Tsim Sha Tsui's Mirador Mansion, it charts an unlikely bond between grizzled veteran Tai Bo and rising star Kuku So—he a mysterious rescuer, she a teenager running away from her mother's abusive partner. At first Alice (the Wonderland echoes ring deliberately) rebuffs her grizzled savior's gallantry. But their shared loneliness catalyzes a fraught rapprochement amid the mansion's crimson-lit maze. Chow wields colorful yet noirish atmospherics with a maestro's command, the dank stairwells and flickering fluorescents conjuring palpable peril. As this intricate two-hander hurtles toward its cathartic climax, you'll be gasping—not just from the suspense, but from sensing the new lifeblood pulsing through the story. In the live wire intensity between Chow's protagonists burns the fierce promise of the arthouse's inheritance of Hong Kong's pulp legacy.

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. Starring several rising stars from Hong Kong, including two actors reunited after Fantasia favourite PORT OF CALL (2015), OUT OF THE SHADOW is fresh off several Asian festivals, and makes its first stopover in the West at Fantasia before it hits its home territory this fall. – King-Wei Chu [ OASKA ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL 2024 ] Chu Po is a sprightly teenage girl with a strong sense of justice but her mother, Tao Kuen Ying, would rather they keep a low profile in the fishing town of Tai O.

Shi's legend was forged through acts of brazen daring, like his infiltration of an enemy stronghold to rescue the wrongly imprisoned Lu Jun-yi from certain execution. Patrick Tam, in a performance of searing intensity, breathes life into a character confronted with the ghosts of his outlaw past, and clinging to hope for rebuilding his fractured life and finding new purpose. Chan, the acclaimed writer of the "Ip Man" franchise, infuses the film with a sense of hard-bitten optimism, suggesting that even in the darkest of times, an indomitable spirit can light the path to a better tomorrow.

Her baby daughter Qing is difficult and cries constantly and Jing frequently clashes with her live-in in-laws over childcare and housework, while her husband, who works as a delivery driver, views parenting as something he occasionally helps with. All she did was have a child, yet Jing's life is turned upside down, leaving her in a situation where all her efforts to build her career have been negated. Director Oliver Siu Kuen Chan meticulously dissects Jing's struggles, revealing the emotional turbulence she endures. The film’s realistic and precise narrative depicts the suffocating oppression women suffer within both family and society, the pressures of 'being a mother' and 'motherhood,' and resolutely move forward, forcing Jing to make a final decision.

Opening October 27 2024 at the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival 2024 Opening July 10 2025 [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] For many, home is a refuge and a sanctuary; for stray animals, however, a loving home remains a distant dream. From 2019 to 2023, director Au Cheuk-man followed the non-profit organisation Paws Guardian on their harrowing missions to rescue and rehome stray animals – many of whom were abandoned, abused, or tortured. The result is a heartrending collection of stories on survival and resilience, highlighting the brutal realities faced by stray animals: of the 40 stray dogs featured in this documentary, only four ultimately found new homes. --- [ NORTH AMERICA AREA CONCERTS ] * EXPEDITION GARETH T.
