MISCELLANEOUS * (2025/08/13) Once starred in the movie "29+1", Ben Yeung Seung Bun passed away in the early morning of the day before yesterday (11th) at the age of 43. Yeung Seung Bun's younger brother announced his brother's death on social platforms, "My brother Yeung Seung Bun passed away peacefully at 04:20am today, August 11th. In his final moments, his mother, me, and his friends were by his side, and he went peacefully without any pain." Ben's brother said, "First of all, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the friends who have cared for and supported Seung Bun. In his life he was fortunate to receive everyone's love and companionship, which was the most precious gift in his life. Now, he can finally let go of all pain and trouble, return to the arms of his Father and Heavenly Father, and have eternal peace." The funeral arrangements will be announced later. Finally he wrote, "May my brother rest in peace, and may all those who love him keep his warm smile in their hearts." The post did not mention the cause of Yeung Seung Bun's death. Ben won a radio station "Leon Lai Impersonation Contest" in 1997, and Lai Ming served as one of the judges that year. He won the Canada New Talent Competition the following year, later officially joined the entertainment industry and signed a contract with Emperor Entertainment. He was given the opportunity to shoot a wedding gown advertisement with Joey Yung Cho Yee. However his luck with stardom was mediocre. He once sought other developments, forming a boy group Bro5 with Dominic Ho Ho Man and others; but it ended in disbandment. Ben's performance that left an impression on the audience was his participation in the Kearen Pang Sau Wai directed "29+1", playing Chrissie Chau Sau Na's boyfriend. Pang Sau Wai posted photos with Ben on social platforms yesterday to mourn. Ben has made movies in recent years, including ANITA (MUI YIM FONG) and DETECTIVE VS. SLEUTHS (SUN TAM DAI JIN). * (2025/08/12) Fish Liew Chi Yu and Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi) starred in the Golden Horse award winning director Chong Keat Aun directed movie PAVANE FOR AN INFANT, which held its premiere in Malaysia the day before. Malaysian actors Pearlly Chua, Tan Mei Ling and Yuan Teng also attended. Liew Chi Yu came to Hong Kong for many years to develop the career and returned to home for the first time to make a film. Playing a Malaysian meant a lot to her, and her family was present to support her. She was grateful to the director for making her dream come true, "For the first time I had the opportunity to play an authentic Malaysian, so that the Hong Kong audience who is familiar with me can use another perspective to get to know me and the place where I grew up anew." Liew Chi Yu and Hui Yan Yi have become good sisters because of this film. Liew Chi Yu said that every time she filmed, she would naturally rely on Hui Yan Yi for her emotions. The two exchanged pleasantries at the press conference, and Liew Chi Yu described the two as "ageless friends", "Natalie completely brought me into the role, and this type of cooperation became a mutual achievement. In private she is like a little sun, often giving me a lot of encouragement and comfort. I am very grateful for her company." Hui Yan Yi said, "I am sunny on the surface, but I am very nervous and anxious inside. I am very grateful that Fish is willing to take the initiative to share her thoughts. She makes me feel relieved and easy to build trust, which is of great help to the relationship in the film." Hui Yan Yi's deepest impression of Malaysia is that there are many pastries, many motorcycles. "There are not as many mosquitoes as I imagined. The most important thing is that the people here are very kind and warm. I was particularly impressed when filming in Minangkabau village in Selangor, where celebrations take place wherever daughters are born. Women have property and decision-making power, wear horns on their heads to represent strength, women's wisdom and dignity, this matriarchal social culture has left me quite surprised." * (2025/08/12) The Louis Koo Tin Lok, Raymond Lam Fung and Aaron Kwok Fu Sing co-starred movie TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) won word of mouth and box office last year, and the film's producer Wilson Yip Wai Shun and director Soi Cheang Pou Soi would work together again on a new film with a grant of 9 million from the Hong Kong Film Development Fund. However another film KUNG FU JUNIORS (LINGNAN GONG FU SIU NIN) with Clifton Ko Chi Sum as its film director after 7 years has been approved by 10 million -- is more than the golden combination of TWILIGHT and surprised many! With the Hong Kong film market in a depression, many film companies would rather take a "wait and see" approach. The first half of this year had rather few film productions. When filmmakers wanted to start productions they also had to look for more "ways" to raise funding. One of the ways was to write a proposal to apply for funding from the Hong Kong Film Development Council. Last year with over 100 million at the box office, TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING)'s producer Yip Wai Shun and director Cheang Pou Soi both have filed applications. The two will shoot the new film NON-HUMAN (BUT SI YUN), which were approved for 9 million in October last year. In fact the Hong Kong Film Development Fund has always been very supportive of TWILIGHT. In addition to approving $9 million for the new film, it also allocated $8.95 million to support the TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN film set exhibition and approved $1.2 million to support UNDERWORLD (GAU LUNG SING JAI SHUT YAT JUEN), which was selected for the "Content Development Scheme For Streaming Platform". With a number of film projects in hand, Cheang Pou Soi was asked when he would start filming NON. He said, "Everything is being arranged." He admitted that he had a great time working with Koo Tin Lok, Kwok Fu Sing, and others, and both of them loved to challenge different roles. Thus he had the opportunity to work together again in BUT. Just completed the last show of his concert series in Macau a few days ago, Sing Sing had a large number of fans who shared clips on social platforms. Among them Sing Sing's beyond fit condition immediately aroused heated discussions online, as some praised the 59-year-old for having firm muscles all over his body and did not at all resemble he was about to "reach 6(0)". "At most 35, he's too energetic", "Now this is called the top stream". They also praised him for still looking handsome since his debut, and pointed out that he is in such good shape all because his life is self-disciplined. He is a role model for many young actors. In addition to Cheang Pou Soi's new film application for funding, director Clifton Ko Chi Sum also applied for funding. His film KUNG FU JUNIORS was finally approved for $10 million, which is more than Cheang Pou Soi's new film. It turned out that the Hong Kong Film Development Council earlier launched the "Film Production Grant Scheme for Promoting Chinese Culture" earlier, aiming to encourage Hong Kong directors to integrate Chinese cultural elements into their film works and show the audience the excellent traditions of Chinese culture. Ko Chi Sum's screenplay met the criteria so it received the scheme's highest grant amount of HK$ 10 million for its production. Another project that also received HK$ 10 million in grant was the Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting directed THE BUTTERFLY BONE (SUP GOR HOK YI DIK SIU NIN). In an interview a few days ago Ko Chi Sum pointed out that the film has an investment of about 28 million, and has already started filming in Foshan. Kung fu movie star Sammo Hung Kam Bo has been invited to star, and the film will look for young actors and actresses in Lingnan. This time the new film would mainly promote Lingnan culture and martial arts heritage, and he pointed out that the film would also participate in different film festivals, including the Toronto Chinese Canadian Film Festival, the Chinese American Film Festival and the Asia Pacific Film Festival. He was rather confident about then new film. * (2025/08/12) The film industry remains weak, not only film production financing has had difficulties galore; even the annual film industry event the Hong Kong Film Awards would also face the budget tightening issue. Aside from advertising recruitment, it also needed to rely on government funding that included the Film Development Fund. In recent years the allocation amount has been declining. According to the data, the 39th to 41st Hong Kong Film Awards have been received from the government more than $9.5 million in funding. The funding amount has dropped to $8 million for the 42nd edition. The 43rd edition held in April this year was further reduced to 6.836 million. The Hong Kong Film Awards chair Derek Yee Tung Sing said that the government's funding was not permanent. Even if it would be no longer funded in the future, it would be not surprising. He also pointed out that to hold the Hong Kong Film Awards, government funding and commercial sponsorship are both indispensable; but the most worrying thing is the number of Hong Kong film releases. If less than 30 films would be released every year, there is an opportunity for a reduction in scale of the awards ceremony in the future. It is not decided whether to move from the cultural center to the hotel. * (2025/08/12) Louis Koo Tin Lok, Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) and Raymond Lam Fung recently filmed a commercial with the STEP INTO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) team, evoking collective memories. Lam Fung talked about the memorable event of the concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum earlier. "The most memorable thing is having to remember a lot of dance steps, which reminds me of every step I have taken in the past 25 years in the industry. From the initial 3 shows to 7 shows, I found that I had to take the first step before I could take the next step!" He also thanked his boss Koo Tin Lok for suggesting that he change the track and break through the bottleneck of his career, making his singing and film and television career more prosperous. Koo Tin Lok said, "It should be the jade tree 'Lam Fung', which is at its peak. This is called abundant!" The movie version of STEP INTO THE PAST, BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI), is expected to be released next year, Suen Huen's eyes lit up as she asked Koo Tin Lok for spoilers. However Koo Tin Lok gave the trademark response and said: "No comment, no comment, no comment." Lam Fung looked on with a smiling expression of his classic online meme. * (2025/08/12) The Hong Kong film winter period has left many actors on the bench, but Best Actress Jennifer Yu Heung Ying signed a new film contract in a low-key manner. In order to match the character style, she has "cut her hair" and is ready to join the team to start work. A few days ago she posted a photo of her cut hair all over the ground on social platforms, leaving a message to say goodbye to her long hair. Then she uploaded a beautiful photo with long hair as a souvenir. Yu Heung Ying did not say much in response out of respect for the film company, she simply said, "I am very grateful to have a job, I can't talk about the details. Being able to work with a group of like-minded people and do what I love is the happiest thing." Before work would begin, she took advantage of the time and enjoy the beach and sunshine with her husband and children. She smiled and said, "Of course, the children have a great time playing in the water. However I not only have to take care of them but also worry about getting a dark tan before the start of work, so I wear long-sleeved shirts and pants all the time. I don't have any swimsuit photo!" * (2025/08/10) The Danny Pang Fat directed, Eddie Cheung Siu Fai (Brother Fai) and Venus Wong Man Yik starred RE BORN (HUNG SUM YUN) was packaged in horror but essentially was a heart-wrenching romantic film. In addition to the two protagonists who were 100% emotionally involved and had crying scene after crying scene, even director Pang Fat could not help but leave the set to sob in secret because of his own family experience. When Pang Fat and Wong Man Yik spoke to the media, Man Yik said, "Crying was not the most difficult, the most difficult thing is the rhythm!" However Pang Fat's new method of directing has also given her performance a breakthrough. Wong Man Yik revealed that she was flattered when she received Director Pang's invitation. "As an actor, I really hope to work with directors of certain caliber, but I am really afraid of making ghost movies. After reading the script I am so moved that I no longer consider the issue of taking the role or not, because it is a rare role for actresses." Director Pang Fat revealed that Wong Man Yi was first introduced to him by Brother Fai's wife, who said that she has worked with Brother Fai in "Flying Tiger". She had great potential and good acting skills. Was he satisfied with Man Yik now that the collaboration was over? He said, "She definitely exceeded the standard, which also included Cheung Siu Fai because I had already warned before filming started. They had to be mentally prepared for this film, the process was very painful, with emotional ups and downs inside, the effect I asked for would make the actor collapse!" Would Man Yik be under pressure during filming when encountering strong co-stars? She thought that all actors want to do their best, but they would not think about pressure. Recalling that she was very involved in the performance at that time, the filming process was very happy and enjoyable. There were a lot of emotional scenes in the film, so crying scenes were inevitable. However Man Yik actually said that crying was not the most difficult, the most difficult thing to deal with was the pace of the performance. "The director asked me to drop all the things and clear my head, and guide me on how to get into and act every scene well, which is a performance or way of thinking that I have never done before." Pang Fat did not let the actors cultivate emotions this time. "This time I said you really don't do it, don't cultivate emotions and rehearse here. Because if they already cried a lot during rehearsal, they wouldn't be able to do it again at the official filming. In addition people could tell right away that you would cry when you are emotionally prepared, which would be a big deal. I am the most afraid of this. I rarely encounter actors or scenes that had to be dealt with like this, but with this film it couldn't be helped. As soon as I saw them hiding by themselves, I would tell everyone something else. I wanted them to forget." Has Man Yik opened up a new way of acting this time? She stated that running into a good director and a good co-star in Brother Fai she was very inspired. She remembered that the director said on the set that he was already very happy to be able to shoot a good scene or a good shot, she also really liked this work as an actor. Pang Fat continued to say that he hoped to shoot a fairly outstanding scene in every movie, with a good shot that would impress people. Man Yik bluntly said that the whole film moved her, so she felt it was great! Speaking of the Pang Brothers making the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress and the "Ghost Queen" Lee Sinjie, would he be confident that he would make another "Ghost Queen" out of Wong Man Yik this time? Pang Fat pointed out that this should be left to the audience to comment. He believed that unless they have never seen the film, he was confident that the audience would definitely remember the two protagonists in the film. Wong Man Yik said that she was 110% focused in the performance, not only because co-star Cheung Siu Fai had strong acting abilities but also the director was very demanding; he absolutely would not accept any take that did not meet his demand. "With just a glance from Brother Fai I was already able to get the emotions, Whoa, I was immediately reminded that I had to do my best." The most profound scene for Man Yik was that in the film, his son had an accident and she and Brother Fai fought and accused each other. They needed to get a take in one try. At the time Pang Fat and the photographers pointed a total of 4 cameras at them for the shoot; another scene at the paper shop was also very shocking, and the performance was very inspiring because she had to react to seeing something she couldn't see in the film. She has never experienced it before. "During the production I surrendered. The scene had no dialogue so I did my best, but the director still kept yelling cut and made me very frustrated. Thus crying wasn't the most difficult. I thank the director for not giving up on me, I think it was a wonderful journey in acting." Pang Fat revealed that with the help of telling stories to Man Yik, he made her believed that this kind of ethereal thing really appeared in front of her. It was up to her to digest and get into the reaction, and finally she successfully completed it. Did Man Yik's husband Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung give any advice? She laughed and said, "I didn't ask, the director chose me already!" Pang Fat laughed and said that Tsang Kwok Cheung was the assistant director of THE EYE 2. He has been watching Tsang grow and succeed, and Man Yik decided to take the role because her husband said "Pang Fat is a good director". Brother Fai revealed in an interview earlier that when filming the scene at the paper shop, he regarded the two paper dolls as his deceased wife and son. After filming this scene, he and the director each went out and wept. At first Brother Fai thought it was because this scene was well filmed that the director was so engaged, but later he found out that family matters touched the director. Pang Fat admitted that he was in distress at that time. "Indeed, I want to say one thing. Many people say that it is best for actors to experience an emotion from having a real personal experience. When I made this film, especially this scene, the director needed to experience different situations, different things, and the way to deal with it was different too. Many things happened to stack together to form this scene. It turned out that there must be a moment in order to come up with such a scene and such a way to deal with it, which was a very surprising experience for me. Actually many things in the world are the best arrangements." Also the screenwriter, Pang Fat said that this scene was written in the script long ago, and he was only able to write it because of his own experience. This was not only important to the actors, but also to the director. What led him to write such a sad scene? He was silent for a while before saying, "I won't talk about it, it's in the past, live in the moment!" As for Brother Fai, he mentioned that Pang Fat once told him that this would be his "posthumous work". Pang Fat said that the film was shot in November 2023. "At that time my wife was ill. When a person was sick, she would naturally think about life and death and wonder if there would still be a chance. At that moment that scene was writing about this. Only with the past experience was I able to write this scene." Did he still have the idea for "posthumous works"? He said, "No, I'm still here and I'm still preparing another fantasy film. Actually I had an idea at that time that as a director, I saw the current film market. I could only make one film at a time, and every time I think it's the last one. I dealt with one thing with the attitude of 'posthumous', it wasn't that I had negative thoughts!" The Pang Brothers have not worked together since OUT OF INFERNO (TOH CHOOK SUN TI). Pang Fat said that actually film companies have approached them, and he believed that the market has been looking forward to him and his older brother Oxide Pang Chun working together again. The two of them have also been looking forward to it, but it would still depend on the film subject and project of the film before making a decision. * (2025/08/08) Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa) recently returned to Hong Kong. In addition to promoting the concert of her friend Kenny Kwan Chi Bun's concerts, she also visited the Hong Kong film exhibition with the "Undercover Underworld" subject. She shared a number of sets from the film exhibits, praising their seriousness as comparable to that of the studio. "The entire exhibition is arranged by the most powerful film art teams in Hong Kong cinema, with many classic movie scenes and experience installations that are fun and beautiful." Ah Sa took photos on many sets, including street stalls, teahouses, exploding cars and phone booths. She joked that she felt like she has made several movies. Television Best Actress Natalie Tong Sze Wing visited. She even played Tony Leung Chiu Wai's classic morse code scene in the movie INFERNAL AFFAIRS (MO GAN DOH). "I saw the super exciting exhibition that used undercover agents in many Hong Kong movies to connect the entire exhibition. There are many classic sets, you can experience them for yourself." * (2025/08/08) The Danny Pang Fat directed, Eddie Cheung Siu Fai, Venus Wong Man Yi, Helena Law Lan and others starred movie RE BORN (HUNG SUM YU) held its premiere at Elements last night. Lead actor Cheung Siu Fai mobilized his whole family for support, and his daughter Twiggy Cheung Cheuk Chi served as the emcee of the event. The lead actress Wong Man Yi appeared with her director husband Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung. Cheung Siu Fai's daughter is studying for a bachelor's degree in film and television, intends to be behind the scenes and implement a father-daughter team in the future! Pang Fat was interviewed with Cheung Siu Fai and Wong Man Yi. The film will be released next week, and Pang Fat described the premiere of the film as like giving birth to a son. It is born! In the film Cheung Siu Fai and Wong Man Yi played husband and wife. He pointed out that Wong Man Yi could not put on pretty makeup in the film as she had to acting like a housewife. "Actually she is very beautiful in person; the director is the one who made her that way." Wong Man Yi smiled and pointed out that her husband has also seen her appearance when he watched the film, and said that it was very different from the wife he usually saw. He was looking forward to seeing her performance very much. The reporter asked Wong Man Yi, did he get her husband Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung to teach her acting beforehand? She said: "I don't need to. There is a director to teach, there is no need to rehearse with my husband. There are already good co-stars and directors in the film. These are all sincere words, unless it is a bed scene I have never filmed before. My husband as a director would instruct me how to deal with it, I will accept it, and I would accept that. He is very professional in this regard." Speaking of a lot of heart-wrenching plots in the film, Was Cheung Siu Fai able to withdraw from the role during filming? He said, "I don't have time to withdraw during filming, as I have to rush to the shoot every day. After filming I would spend a little time reading the script at most. Because the movie takes a lot of brain power and energy, you can't pull away from the role during filming. You have to finish filming before you are able to." As for his daughter being the emcee, he pointed out that his daughter came for internships. In addition she is studying film courses overseas, so he wanted his family to give advice after watching the film. Would Pang Fat accept her as a female apprentices? He smiled and said, "I have never accepted a female apprentice. It would depend on fate, let's how big the lai see would be." Cheung Siu Fai also said that although his daughter has acted, she wanted to be behind the scenes more than in front of the camera. Speaking of the recent downturn in the film market, was Pang Fat worried about the box office? He said, "I don't need to worry because with fewer and fewer theaters now I can't think about it; I can only work as hard as I can." Cheung Siu Fai and Wong Man Yi said in unison that if there would be any audience appreciation screenings, they would definitely cooperate. Because opportunities to make film at present have been few, they must make time to thank the audience when they are able to have a picture on the screen. Wong Man Yi pointed out that when going to the theater to thank and interact with the audience, the actors would be happy to find out everyone's reaction in real time. When Pang Fat was asked about his wife's condition, he replied "OK". Cheung Siu Fai's daughter Twiggy Cheung Cheuk Chi served as the emcee of the movie premiere for the first time, and her performance was calm and had a commanding presence. Twiggy said with a smile, "I just came back from the UK, it's like supporting my father for me. I have never been an emcee, so I am so nervous!" Twiggy studied film in the UK, would she plan to work with Cheung Siu Fai as a father and daughter team in the future? "Sometimes I need to do homework and write scripts, Daddy would occasionally help me and teach me how to write a good script and what good acting is. Conceptually I have been working with Daddy for a long time!" Said to be resembling Linda Chung Ka Yan, Twiggy smiled and said, "Chung Ka Yan is so beautiful, and her acting skills are excellent. Now I still watch her TV series, of course I am happy!" Twiggy did not rule out working with Chung Ka Yan in the future, and then invite her father Cheung Siu Fai to work on good works together! RE BORN would be Fabienne Kwaan Fung Hing's film debut, and her Papa Eddie Kwan Lai Kit was present to show his support. Kwai Lai Kit praised her daughter's performance in the film, and revealed that he did not accompany her to work. Did he show his daughter a few tricks? He laughed and said that he was the one who needed to learn instead. Making her film debut with a ghost movie, Kwan Fung Hing felt that it was very fresh and admitted that making movies and dramas were very different. Kwan Fung Hing revealed earlier that she has brought her former Hong Kong rugby player boyfriend Hugo Chui Ho Ching to meet her parents. When asked about this, Kwan Lai Kit played dumb and asked, "Have you been dating?" Then he ducked away for a group photo but returned to continue the interview. When asked about his impression of his daughter's boyfriend, he said, "If my daughter is OK, I'm OK. I'm very passive, I look to Mommy, Mommy is in charge." Kwan Fung Hing said that Mama left the decision for her to make, saying that her parents have always been very democratic. She admitted that she had a stable relationship with her boyfriend. Would they be suitable for flash marriage? Kwan Lai Kit immediately asked, "Huh! Really? I am happy." Kwan Fung Hing smiled and said that she would not scare Papa, perhaps she might not be married after ten years and would leave it up to fun. Kwan Lai Kit admitted that he would be reluctant for his daughter to wed. * (2025/08/07) Raymond Lam Fung attended the mobile phone press conference yesterday, during which the commercial in which Lam Fung and Linda Chung Ka Yan played lawyer in a war of words was showed. This couple reunited again after 18 years after HEART OF GREED, evoking everyone's memories. Then Lam Fung even had a video call with Ka Yan on the spot and exchanged pleasantries. Lam Fung revealed that the prequel to TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN would start filming early next year, and he would look forward to further explore different subjects with Chung Ka Yan. Lam Fung said that actually the commercial would be the first that he and Chung Ka Yan hace collaborated on. "We didn't make too many commercials before. This time Ka Yan came to my concert as a guest for one show, and everyone responded well. Since we thought that there was a gimmick that had good collective memories, we came up with this pretty interesting advertisement." Did Ka Yan fly back to Hong Kong from Canada just to shoot the advertisement? Lam Fung laughed and pointed out that she probably made the trip to be a guest at his concert, and happened to make this commercial along the way. He admitted that he and Ka Yan have not seen each other for 18 years. As long as the audience wanted, they also hoped to work together again in a movie. Ka Yan has said that they could shoot the movie version of HEARTS OF GREED. Lam Fung felt that they could work together on many different subjects. Speaking of the TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN prequel lacking a beautiful fighting female character, would he recommend Ka Yan to join? Lam Fung said, "Action can be trained for, but you have to ask the boss and the director. I have asked privately, the script is 70 to 80% done and filming should start early next year. I would also receive training." However he pointed out that the concert tour will start in September and end January next year, and will tour to many cities in the mainland, Southeast Asia, the United States and Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan. He will devote himself to the film's kung fu training in early January next year, the schedule will have some overlap. Lam Fung recently accompanied his daughter Luna on summer vacation, with his wife Zhang Xinyue they as a family of three traveled to Singapore and Australia. He bitterly laughed that the two week journey was very fulfilling, vacationing with his daughter was a test and not for rest. Did they leave as a trio and return as a quartet? He joked, "Did I run into a ghost? I'm just kidding, I hope so!" Did he want to try for a son? He joked, "Maybe a quintet, thank you for your blessings!" As for the upcoming "Commercial Radio Live Concert", he has not yet officially begun to rehearse. There will be dancing this time, he and Louis Cheung Kai Chung both looked forward to dancing the girl group choreography together. They even felt that they could still "twist", so they hoped to surprise everyone. Speaking of BIG FOUR's upcoming concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Dicky Cheung Wai Kin expressed that he wanted to challenge Lam Fung's "chair dance", Lam Fung smiled and said that he would welcome the challenge. Everyone has their own style and nothing is impossible, but in his mind who would dance the chair dance the best among BIG FOUR? He joked, "Stacking up all four together would be the best!" As for Lam Fung's concert tour, the performance would be slightly different in hopes of giving the audience a sense of freshness. However the chair dance part would be retained. Would he buy insurance for the chair? He joked, "My personal chair will accompany the tour, and it's very sturdy. It even has my name engraved on it."

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?"

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.

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.

Large-scale protests by the populace have been brutally suppressed. This mix of documentary, fiction, and visions of the future reveals the current state of desolate depression among the people of Hong Kong. "A desperate attempt to capture the final moments of a sinking island", as maker Chan Tze-woon himself puts it. 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.
