MISCELLANEOUS * (2025/06/29) The Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Sherming Yiu Lok Yi, Mark Cheng Ho Nam and Locker Lam Ka Hei starred new film FIGHT FOR TOMORROW (PING MING SAM LONG) has been released. Tam Yiu Man and Yiu Lok Yi earlier appeared on television to share the pain and joy of filming. Playing the retired gangster, Tam Yiu Man could be said to be "fighting for his life" in the film. He said, "The filming took place when the pandemic was almost over. Actually everyone have experienced physical and mental exhaustion for more than two years, so I put this emotion into the role felt that it was a quite suitable. I myself was a little similar to the character; I sensed the mid-life crisis, and I knew a little about fight scenes. I would watch how (Donnie) Yen Chi Tan and Bruce Lee fought for example, and even if I couldn't perform completely like them I hoped to be able to achieve half of what they did." In addition to the action scenes, Tam Yiu Man also had a number of argument scenes that was quite memorable to him. He said, "A few scenes where I argued and fought with Cheng Ho Nam and Yiu Lok Yi were so intense, among them more than 70% of the dialogue was improvised on the spot. My argument scene with Yiu Lok Yi was very memorable, because she was in good shape. The feeling was so real when I was playing opposite her." In addition to the scenes between two brothers who faded out of the underworld, the movie also told the story of the two generations of father and son Tam Yiu Man and Lam Ka Hei and the relationship with his ex-wife Yiu Lok Yi. Yiu Lok Yi agreed that the movie examined the relationship between the two generations, and for this reason, their real family lives have also caused hot conversations. Ah Tam's pair of children excelled in both school and sports. He said modestly, "Thank to the respect from everyone, even the tuition amount has been talked about. Truly thank you very much. Fortunately the principal of the school is a foreigner, he probably wouldn't read it." Yiu Lok Yi's daughter is 9. She joked that her daughter was not yet in the stage of rebellion, but said, "She has been talking back a lot, but dares not to slam the door and ignore people. Now she would still sleep with me, and I still enjoy this intimate process." Yiu Lok Yi said that she only started to rebel at a very late stage back then, and she did not go out alone until the age of 18. She said, "Now that society is different, it is easier to break through the communication gaps between the two generations by getting along with the next generation as if they are friends." * (2025/06/28) Due to the poor economic climate, cinemas have closed one after another. The local film industry giant that operated cinemas under its banner for almost half a century, Golden Harvest Cinema chain's parent company Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment issued a listed company notice yesterday to announce that it will close all its doors tomorrow. The group's four cinemas, namely those in Tai Kok Tsui, Tuen Mun, Shau Kei Wan and Tai Po, will close. Golden Harvest Cinemas has closed three cinemas earlier, and will end its Hong Kong cinema business. Orange Sky Golden Harvest said that three of the cinema sites will be leased by new operators, and Golden Harvest gift certificates and other vouchers can continue to be used until September this year. Movie fans feel a pity for the closure of Golden Harvest Cinemas, and they are afraid that there will be fewer and fewer entertainment options in the future. The film industry said that the closure of the cinema chain was "expected", but said that the wave of cinema closures was likely to be "over". Orange Sky Golden Harvest announced that it will cease to operate all cinema businesses in Hong Kong, including the lease of Olympian City's sky, Tuen Mun StagE, Shau Kei Wan Golden Harvest Galaxy Plaza and Golden Harvest Tai Po Cinema will be terminated a few days after tomorrow. The Group claimed that the relevant leases were completed or terminated by agreement, in other words, individual leases were terminated early. The Company explained that the decision was part of the Group's strategic review of its operating and cost structure. After evaluating the performance and sustainability of the cinema business in Hong Kong, the decision was made to fully withdraw from the Hong Kong market, resulting in additional non-recurring income of approximately $65 million due to the original cost provision and the modification of lease terms. Golden Harvest Cinemas chain announced on its social media platforms that the four cinemas will operate until tomorrow, with the sky, StagE and Golden Harvest Tai Po being leased by the new operators while Golden Harvest Cinemas' gift certificates, vouchers and movie tickets will continue to be used at these venues on or before August 31st this year. Golden Harvest GH Moviegoer members will be able to transfer to the new operator's membership plan, and the new plan will be announced by the new operator in due course. Golden Harvest also said that it is very happy and honored to spend countless unforgettable movie moments with fans in the past. Movie goer Ms. Yip felt sorry for the closure of Golden Harvest and believed that it was a loss of cultural and entertainment life in the community. She mentioned that she would watch movies after work on weekdays to relax. Recently the ticket price of the theater was unusually cheap, only HK$ 60 per day on weekdays. The price was still far lower than the ticket price of more than HK$ 100 when she was in secondary school, which was a harbinger of the theater's business difficulties and imminent closure. She worried that in the future only a few large cinema chains may remain, which will monopolize the market and reduce the variety of choices. Mr. Tung also felt sorry after learning about the closure, saying that he often went to the cinema with his family to watch movies, and was worried that the closure of the cinema would cause one less entertainment venue in the district. The spokesman for the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers Tin Kai Man said that the closure of the Golden Harvest Cinema chain was "expected". He has been pointing out that there were still cinemas that would close, but he pointed out that the wave of cinema closures was likely to have "ended". There was no news of other large-scale cinema chains planning to close in the future, and only a few cinemas might close due to the expiration of their leases. Golden Harvest Cinemas chain has earlier introduced an "unmanned cinema" at Golden Harvest Galaxy Plaza in Shau Kei Wan. For the ticket purchase, ticket inspection and admission without staff present, customers need to complete the process themselves to save costs. Tin Kai Man believes that it is advisable for cinemas to survive in different ways, but Golden Harvest will eventually close down because of the commercial considerations of the operators. Conceivably they do not want to invest resources in the field of operating cinemas. According to the annual report of Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment, as of the end of last year the group's income from continuing operations was only about 730 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 7%; but after deducting expenses and financial expenses, the loss before tax exceeded 158 million yuan. The group explained that due to the 2023 Hollywood writers and actors strike, resulting in a lack of blockbuster films and shortened release schedules, the box office, admission rate and final revenue will drop sharply. The Group also said that Hong Kong's disappointing post-pandemic economic performance, the migration of young people, and the change in consumption habits in the post-pandemic era, with people spending more abroad than locally, have made the cinema industry even worse. Coupled with the continued impact of global headwinds on the macro economy, consumers are generally reluctant to spend, resulting in a decrease in attendance from 2.1 million in 2023 to 2 million last year, and box office receipts also decreased by 15% to $121.7 million last year. In order to attract customers back to the cinema, the average ticket price also dropped to $61. Despite the short-term rental support provided by landlords during the year, the Group's Hong Kong operations continued to record a revenue loss of $19.5 million due to high rents. The closing of the entire Golden Harvest cinema chain was not unexpected. Over the past year or so a number of its cinemas have ceased operation or closed down one after another, including Golden Harvest Kai Tak, Golden Harvest V WALK, Golden Harvest Whampoa, Grand Ocean Cinema and Golden Harvest Megabox. This year the cinema business has been in a stump, as more than 10 cinemas have bid farewell to their fans including Sun Beam Cinema in North Point, MCL Kornhill Cinema in Tai Koo and Newport Cinema in Mong Kok. After the Whampoa Cinema closed for business, Lee Kui Ming took it over and it would soon become Sun Beam Whampoa; Cine Art Cinemas would take over the Hollywood and Megabox Cinemas in Diamond Hill and they are under renovation. Golden Harvest Cinemas' parent company, Orange Sky Golden Harvest, will terminate all cinema operations in Hong Kong, marking the farewell of the half-century-old film and related business in Hong Kong to the local cinema market. Looking back at the company's recent action, hints of its retreat from the mainland and Hong Kong cinema market could be traced. In 2017 Orange Sky Golden Harvest sold its mainland business to other cinema chains, and in February this year it also suspended the operation of its flagship Golden Harvest Cinema in Shenzhen. This time it withdrew from the Hong Kong cinema market again, that is, it faded out of the relevant business in both the mainland and the local market. Orange Sky Golden Harvest was formerly Golden Harvest. Founded in 1970 by Raymond Chow Man Wai, Leonard Ho Koon Cheung and Leung Fung, Golden Harvest Entertainment founded in 1972 the Panasia Films Ltd. that engaged in film procurement, distribution, video distribution, publicity and promotion, cinema screen and other one-stop film business. In 1977 Golden Harvest opened its first cinema in Hong Kong and officially entered the cinema business. Between 1985 and 1990 the Group produced an average of 25 to 30 films per year, making it the world's largest Chinese-language film studio with a distribution network and cinema network all over the world. Golden Harvest Entertainment (Holdings) Limited was listed on November 23rd, 1994. In 2007 Wu Kebo became a major shareholder through Orange Sky Entertainment Group, and in 2009 it was renamed to Orange Sky Golden Harvest. In 2005 the Group opened its first flagship cinema in Shenzhen and as of the end of December 2015, the Group operated 97 cinemas with a total of 716 screens. The group was the first to enter Hollywood, producing English-language films that once sparked Western interest in Hong Kong-made martial arts films. In recent years as the overall performance of Hong Kong's film industry has shrunk, the group has gradually adjusted its business and announced yesterday that it will end its cinema business in Hong Kong. * (2025/06/28) A woman named Law Kee (Alice) filed by in the High Court yesterday (27th) for liquidation of Mandarin Film Productions Co., Ltd., the producer of films such as the IP MAN film series. According to the Judiciary's website, the case has been scheduled for hearing on September 3 this year. According to its website, Mandarin Film Productions was established in 1991 as a film production, distribution and film printing company. Mandarin Film has produced more than 100 films, including THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR (BAK FAT MOR NUI JUEN), THE PHANTOM LOVER (YEH BOON GOR SING), EIGHTEEN SPRINGS (BOON SUN YUEN), DRY WOOD FIERCE FIRE (GONG CHAI LIT FOR), FLASH POINT (DOH FOR SIN) and the IP MAN film series. According to data, Mandarin Film Productions is now one of the subsidiaries of the listed company Keyne Ltd., which has two directors, one of whom is Zhang Li, executive director and chief executive officer of Keyne Ltd. Raymond Wong Pak Ming's Mandarin Motion Pictures Limited issued a solemn statement on its official social platform yesterday. "In response to reports today (yesterday) that Mandarin Films Limited has petitioned for liquidation, we hereby solemnly declare that Mr. Wong Pak Ming has sold and withdrawn from the management of the company as early as 2009. All the affairs of the company henceforth have nothing to do with Mr. Wong Pak Ming, and that company has no relations to Mr. Wong Pak Ming's Mandarin Motion Pictures Limited. In case of any false reports and speculations, Mr. Wong Pak Ming and Mandarin Motion Pictures Limited hereby reserve the rights for any legal action." [Case No.: HCCW 387/25] * (2025/06/28) Named one of the four talents of Hong Kong, Chua Lam (Choi Lan) passed away at the age of 83. His relatives handled the funeral in a very low-key manner. Choi Lan's views on life and death have always been free and easy, and his friends also thought that Choi Lan is open- minded and pursued a taste for life. Just like the title of Choi Lan's book "Whatever, I Decided to Live Interestingly: Chua Lam's Chic and Free Life", he lived a chic and comfortable life. Choi Lan's assistant Yang Ao announced on Weibo yesterday, "Our beloved Mr. Chua Lam passed away peacefully at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital on June 25th, 2025, accompanied by family and friends. In accordance with Mr. Chua Lam's wishes, to keep from disturbing relatives and friends, there was no ceremony and the cremation was completed smoothly. Thank you everyone for your concern for Mr. Chua." Choi Lan and Jin Yong (Louis Cha), Ni Kuang (Ngai Hong), James Wong Jim were listed as the "Four Great Talents of Hong Kong", three of whom have passed away. Earlier Choi Lan said in an interview with Vincent Kok Tak Chiu that his old friends have become fewer and fewer, and revealed that he hoped to go unknowingly, "without fear and without pain". He also said that he hoped for his ashes to be scattered at sea after his death. Choi Lan was an accomplished writer, filmmaker, foodie, and presenter. Born in Singapore in 1941, Choi Lan studied film writing and directing in Japan and then moved to Hong Kong to develop as a production manager for Shaw Brothers Film Company, and more than 10 years later served as vice president of Golden Harvest Film Company, where he supervised a series of Jackie Chan films. Choi Lan began writing in the 80s of the last century. He has published a number of works, mainly on food and travel. He has also written columns for newspapers, but Choi Lan once said that he was not qualified to be talented, and believed that he had no relationship with the word "talent". From 1989 to 1990, he hosted the ATV talk program CELEBRITY TALK SHOW with James Wong Jim and Ni Kuang (Ngai Hong), which caused a sensation and was renewed to the fourth installment. Since 1997 Choi Lan served as the host of the TVB programs TASTE OF LIFE, MARKET TROTTER, etc. The public deeply loved him for his unique views on food and humorous hosting style. In 2012 he served as the general consultant of the documentary "A Bite of China", and in 2020 he had his personal YouTube channel Chua Lam Colorful World. In the mid-90s Choi Lan entered the food industry, launching a variety of food products and opening restaurants. After his death yesterday, an article he wrote was also made public. He said that everyone has always called him "foodie", but friends who know him well know that he does not like this name. He was just a person who loved to eat. In order to eat better, he went looking everywhere. With more comparisons, he had a little experience, wrote them into articles, and gradually got everyone's recognition. Later everyone invited him to open food courts and restaurants, his principles were always three words in Cantonese, "cheap, pretty, and authentic." Upon learning of the bad news about Choi Lan, the well-known writer Shum Sai Shing responded, "On the afternoon of June 27, the writer Ida (Johnny Yip) wrote to my WeChat account from Zhuhai - 'It was rumored within the Prince Cha (Chuen Tik) group that Mr. Choi Lan passed two days ago.' I was skeptical. Later senior media reposted the obituary, and only then did I know that the old friend was really gone. I have known Choi Lan since the 70s of the last century, he was handsome and mischievous. Occasionally he will play tricks on me. One day he took me to Yueh Hua's home at Clearwater Bay for dinner, and he actually mixed several kinds of foreign wine together. He said that it was an aphrodisiac and told me drink it, but I ended up vomiting and drunk. His life was devoted to eating, drinking, and being hospitable. He never cared about money, as long as his friends were happy. Ni Kuang said that he was the most interesting person in the world; Jin Yong said that he was talented, learned and well versed in a variety of subjects. The praise of the two great talents should be true." Shum Sai Shing pointed out that Choi Lan was admitted to the hospital for surgery because he broke his pelvis at home a few years ago because he saved his beloved wife. Since then his health has deteriorated. He was open-minded by nature and hardly ever angry. He still sent good wine and food to his mouth, left his former residence for the hotel and hired a team to take care of him. Chic and graceful, he treated death as homecoming. Only two days after his death, instead of a mourning period he was cremated quietly. Gone with the wind, he was so free and easy that no ordinary person could match. Veteran media person Eileen Cha Siu Yan recalled her past with Chua Lam. "On the first day I met elder Choi Lan, he asked me to call him 'Big Brother Choi Lan' with me, and he took me to see the flowery world a big brother would with a little sister. I had two opportunities to work with Big Brother Choi Lan twice in film and television, but I missed them both. When I first joined the industry as a reporter, he invited me to make a film he was producing at Golden Harvest. However it was not made due to schedule problems, and my role later went to Sandy Lam Shan Shan. He, Big Brother Ni Kuang and Wong Jim invited me to be a guest on their ATV talk show CELEBRITY TALK SHOW . Because the invited were Brigitte Lin (Lam Ching Ha), (Cherie) Chung Chor Hung and other great beauties and the content was relatively out of bounds, at that time I was young and didn't dare to agree. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to live up to my part fully and embarrass them. Big Brother Choi Lan said come on, we can drink together. The money for the appearance would be HK$ 10,000, which was a very, very attractive figure at that time." Cha Siu Yan also said that drinking was a common hobby between her and Choi Lan. "He taught me that 'you don't need to be accompanied by someone to drink, and you don't need to drink with others.' I still keep that in mind. Now when someone says me to drink with them, I would say that you don't need company to drink. If you want to drink, let's drink together." "There are still a lot of memories of Big Brother Choi Lan, what I want to say is that I was lucky to meet the famous Big Brother Choi Lan when I first debuted. He did not mind me as a newcomer, taught me a lot of life principles and food culture. I learned from him the requirements for taste of living, learned to be open-minded, casual, and reckless, just like him waving his hand and passing, without any ceremony, without any labor, turning into a wisp of light smoke, and starting CELEBRITY TALK SHOW in the sky with his old friend Big Brother Ni Kuang and Uncle Jim." * (2025/06/27) Fish Liew Chi Yu came from Malaysia to work in Hong Kong for 12 years, and won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actress with ANITA (MUI YIM FONG). Her acting skills have been affirmed, and she should be able to show her strengths. However she helplessly ran into the Hong Kong film winter, as an actor she too was worried that she would not have a job in the future. She screamed, "Why me? Why entering the cold winter period when I am at my most 'hit'!" Liew Chi Yu's current mood was the same as the role of "Lai Sum" in the movie PAVANE FOR AN INFANT, as both felt that they had a long way forward. She admitted that if she lost her career as an actor, she would be forced to change careers in order to make a living. She has already planned to improve herself and develop another way out. Liew Chi Yu came to Hong Kong from Malaysia in 2012 for work. She returned home last year to star in the Malaysian director Chong Keat Aun directed PAVANE FOR AN INFANT (YIU LAM FAN SAI). Chong Keat Aun said that Liew Chi Yu after winning an award with ANITA (MUI YIM FONG) revealed in interviews that she would like the opportunity to return to Malaysia to make movies. So he contacted her and they clicked right away. After having the core character of Liew Chi Yu, he invited Ben Yuen Fu Wah and Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi) to participate. "I have watched many works of Fish (Liew Chi Yu), and the most impressive was A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG). The eyes were so dramatic and delicate. This time working with her, I found that she asked about everything. I don't mind at all though, it is a good thing for actors to take the initiative." PAVANE FOR AN INFANT tells the story of the Liew Chi Yu played "Lai Sum", a long-term employee of an "abandoned baby pod" in Kuala Lumpur. Against the voices of opposition, she worked together to accompany women of all ethnicities to face the dilemma of bodily autonomy. Liew Chi Yu explained that that she wanted to ask about the PAVANE FOR AN INFANT's story and the character Lai Sum's thinking clearly. After all she has been in Hong Kong for 12 years, most of the movies she performed in were commercial films. The pace has been relatively fast, and she was worried about not adapting to the local rhythm. In addition with few dialogues she had to rely on her eyes and body movements to express herself, so she was so nervous. As the saying goes people gets timid when they are close to home, she wanted to perform a little better so her family could be proud of her. "People who know Liew Chi Yu know that I am anxious and timid. When I hear the staff yelled 'Let's welcome......' Before my name was mentioned, I have already taken off. Eating and touching up makeup were also very fast, I could not quit the habit of being anxious. It could be both good and bad. When it was good then I seriously have to make it its best. When it was not I didn't want to think too much. Now I have already tried to strike a balance between the two." Chong Keat Aun recealed that Liew Chi Yu's pace outside the film was also very fast, and he often reminded her "don't be so fast" during filming. Liew Chi Yu felt that the most difficult part of PAVANT FOR AN INFANT was to speak Cantonese with a Malaysian accent because she rarely spoke it when she was a child, but after coming to Hong Kong for work she practiced fluent Cantonese and forgot the tone of Cantonese spoken by Malaysians. Already made a name for herself, Liew Chi Yu said that although film production has been difficult, she has enjoyed that actor life very much and felt very lucky. Since winning the Best Supporting Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards, film offers have continued. Before filming PAVANE FOR AN INFANT, she made two sets of ViuTV dramas MARGARET AND DAVID TIE and CICADA CYCLE. She was very happy to be able to devote herself to playing the role of Lai Sum, forgetting Liew Chi Yu's own problems. "There are many problems that I needed to be solve. Filming allows me to escape reality for a while, but I have learned from "Lam Sum" to face different difficulties. No matter how big things happen, I can't see the future. Life still has to go on, it will always pass. Knowing how she lived her life, I may be able to take less wrong turns." Liew Chi Yu felt that Lai Sum resonated with her, as they both felt that the road ahead was boundless. Because Hong Kong films have entered a cold winter period, she was worried that she would be unable to work as an actor. "Affected by the global situation and economy, everyone is living in an era with a long road ahead. I have a feeling of why me, and why I was at my most 'hit' period, the film industry actually entered the cold winter period? Maybe if I was born 20 years earlier, the environment would be different and I would be able to show my strength; but I don't get to say that. I am thinking about whether I only have acting in my life? What can I do if I lose my job one day? I should find more things that I love to further my education. I love movies, I may try to do behind-the-scenes work, or learn to cook." She lamented that the development of technology has caused modern people to fall into the trap of technology. "Everyone will have a short period of happiness when they wake up and look at the phone, but how would they deal with themselves without the communication between people?" * (2025/06/26) Patrick Tam Yiu Man and Locker Lam Ka Hei played father and son in the new film FIGHT FOR TOMORROW (PING MING SAM LONG), in which they had many action scenes. Every punch landed in the fight scene between Tam Yiu Man nd Mark Cheng Ho Nam. He joked that the action scene did not stump him, but bluntly said that it would be more difficult physically; Lam Ka Hei was ordered to replace Ian Chan Cheuk Yin, who resigned from the film, 3 weeks before the start of filming. He said that he was not afraid of being compared, and he was very happy to have the opportunity to perform. For the Muay Thai scene in the film, he quickly achieved tip top shape within 3 weeks. The new film FIGHT FOR TOMORROW (PING MING SAM LONG) told the story of Shek Sam Long, a mob boss who was no longer in the limelight. After meeting the son he has not seen him for many years, he unexpectedly made a comeback and the son was also inspired by his father to focus on Muay Thai. It was a story of two generations' FIGHT FOR TOMORROW against the tide during hard times. Director Chan Tai Lee once said that Tam Yiu Man was the best choice to play Shek Sam Long. Tam Yiu Man was grateful for the director's appreciation, and said that he has always looked forward to encountering a script based on the characters. He had only praises for his son Lam Ka Hei in the film, especially when he only had 3 weeks to prepare for the role. Lam Ka Hei frankly said that he fit the role of a boxer physically. At the time he worked out and controlled his diet right away. Speaking of him as the last minute replacement for Ian Chan Cheuk Yin who resigned from the role, was he afraid of comparison now that the movie was released? Lam Ka Hei smiled and said, "At that time probably no one would remember, being a last minute replacement is exciting. I didn't think too much about it at that time. instead of thinking about superfluous things, I was better off training in boxing Some say it's a good thing, but it doesn't matter if no one talks about it. It's not the point!" Tam Yiu Man said that he has been the so-called "second choice" and felt that since fate has come to him, he had to grasp it well. He praised Lin Jiaxi for doing a very good job. Speaking of the father-son relationship in the film, both of them said that their fathers belong to the "silence is golden" type; usually they are very cool, but when they lose their temper they are very shocking. Lam Ka Hei revealed that Papa once was so mad that he threw out his computer and bicycle to the street. "When I was in elementary school, I didn't go home after midnight, and I have skipped school." Tam Yiu Man revealed that he too has skipped school. He knew that he was in trouble and did not go home until 10 o'clock, but who knew that his father had not been asleep yet. He yelled at him so hard that he lost all dignity, so he went to sleep at the park for a few hours. Finally he gave in and returned to home. However he joked that his son was not like him, so well-behaved, smart and self-disciplined. [ In Production Now/Soon ] Can : Ngor Moon But Si Sup Mor Lit : We Aren't Anything d.

The forte of Bowie Tsang, the protagonist of this film, lies in "communication." In addition to giving lectures and online lessons and publishing books, she is an experienced television presenter and an award ceremony host active in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China. Since 2018, as many of her family and friends and even the doctor she trusts the most have been diagnosed with cancer, Bowie cannot stop herself asking a profound question, "Cancer, how on earth should I face you?" Of course, Bowie knows cancer cells are the cells of your own body, and they are just like your own family, but she cannot understand why your own family would want to take your life. Doesn't it sound so contradictory? Eventually, this question led her to a six-year-long search for the answers, and she documented several moving stories in her Vlog along the way. Apart from the conventional Western medical treatment, Bowie experienced and explored different fields, including the scientization of traditional Chinese medicine, how the Chinese and Western medicine complement each other, the alternative medicine university in Seattle and mind-body integrative medicine. In the end, Bowie gained an understanding from her sister-in-law and received a gift that allowed her to communicate with cancer - medicine for the mind. ATONEMENT AKA: IN TURMOIL Can : Ah Lung d.

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. [ 2024 HONG KONG ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ] Former mob leader Shi Sanburo is released from prison and works as a car parker while trying to start a small pub business.

The sons will now fight at the Boxing Championship, bearing the conflicts of their own and the histories of their fathers. Chan Tai- lee, director of Tomorrow Is Another Day[14th], explores a troubled father-son relationship this time, driven by a compelling performance from veteran actor Patrick Tam.

Although the life stream is brutal, the blood and tear and the self-willed paternal love of the avenger are hidden behind the story.

To the eyes of some powerful people, human beings are seen as objects, existing only for them to earn huge profits by trafficking organs. Those human beings are called "organ donors".

Lai Sum, Fatimah, Kam, and Nurul, committed employees of a Kuala Lumpur baby hatch, navigate a maze of societal opposition to empower women from diverse backgrounds grappling with the complex notion of bodily autonomy. As Ramadan ends, a dire situation unfolds when Siew Man, an underage girl, teeters on the brink of a life-altering decision – abortion. Lai Sum endeavours to rescue her from the depths of despair. However, her well-intentioned intervention unwittingly entangles them both in the perilous currents of theocratic and patriarchal forces, threatening to dictate their fates.

Opening May 31 2025 in the mainland Opening June 12 2025 Trailer : https://youtu.be/kSGEDo7KvTs [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] Au Yeung Wai Yip is a private detective who has been focusing on missing persons and adultery investigations for many years. One day, he received a "special" commission: the owner of the travel agency had asked him to investigate his girlfriend, who happened to be Au Yeung Wai Yip’s wife. Being a private detective, he is used to looking for the truth with cold eyes for his clients, but he finds it difficult to face the truth about their own marriage. Unable to withstand his inner torment, Au Yeung Wai Yip gave up on another ongoing case - a client's search for his missing fiancée - and went to the hotel to catch the adulterer. Unfortunately, the marriage could not be saved in the end, and the client's fiancée was killed after he left. A seemingly ordinary affair turned into a murderous incident! The police officer in charge of investigating this murder case, Chan Heong Meng, who is seemingly a good policeman and husband, discovers that more than one woman has been killed in a similar manner—the perpetrator is very likely a serial killer. After handing over the clues to Chan Heong Meng, Au Yeung Wai Yip found himself unknowingly entangled in an intricate web of mystery, with danger looming through the thick fog. To prevent the killer from striking the next target, he must rely on his professional detective instincts to turn the tide. HI FIVE Rating : IIA Length : 120 mins.

A boy who killed his daughter is released from prison. Torn between vengeance and God's forgiveness... [ 49th HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] 'Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.' Pastor Leung, who preaches God's forgiveness, finds himself in a dire situation when his church gives shelter to a young man who caused the death of his beloved daughter. Torn between his wish to avenge his daughter, his wife's anger and his principles as a pastor, he struggles to submit to God or the Devil when an opportunity of retribution presents itself. Impressive as ever, Anthony Wong acutely leads the story with a restrained yet intense performance, stretching the questions of faith, hope, and humanity to their extremes. ------------ For the week starting June 28 2025 (Week 26) VIUTV CHILL CLUB CHART 5 THE TIME IS ALWAYS NOW Can : Nei Doh Yau Gum Yut Anson Lo Hon Ting https://youtu.be/8CSDHJKznjQ 4 WHITE NIGHT Can : Bak Hung Yeh Gin Lee Hung Ngai https://youtu.be/jVCRH95h8G4 3 ON A SUNNYDAY Keung To https://youtu.be/5v3SL8DTUKc 2 HANDS UP Can : Pa Moon Dik Yun Ching Gui Sau Raymond Lam Fung https://youtu.be/utxHyEq_0to 1 GRATITUDE Can : Ming Jeh Nei Yi But Seung Suet Hau Fui Kelly Chen Wai Lam https://youtu.be/Uk3IidcW_6Q TVB JADE SOLID GOLD 5 WORK OF ART Can : Ngor Moon Doh Si Ngai Shook Bun Janees Wong Lok Yin https://youtu.be/n9vNPUzPRpg 4 THERE'S ALWAYS A REASON Can : Yut Jai Doh Si Yau Yuen Yun Dik Windy Zhan Tianwen https://youtu.be/-lcdce-bY5o 3 LATE A BIT Can : Yiu Chi Siu Siu Alan Po Chi Lun https://youtu.be/czxzS7ro0DA 2 WHITE NIGHT Can : Bak Hung Yeh Gin Lee Hung Ngai https://youtu.be/jVCRH95h8G4 1 UNSHARED PLAYLIST Can : Wan Mei Fun Heung Dik Gor Dan Ramon Lo (Law Kai Ho) https://youtu.be/UjwK-L2cCTU METRO RADIO HIT DOMESTIC CHART 5 WE ARE HONG KONG Can : Tung Chong Edward C (Chan Ho) Feat.
