He revealed that this time would not a pure Hong Kong film, but it would be by no means a mainland film. The whole combination and story direction would have Hong Kong film flavors. "Now we need to update the taste of Hong Kong films, so people can't say it is the same old thing!" Speaking of the downturn in the Hong Kong film market, the mainland and Hollywood have also been sluggish, Lam Chiu Yin said that when compared with the highs people would know how low it is now, but the global environment has been like this. We have to face it. Lam Chiu Yin believed that Hong Kong films could still attract audiences. He said, "Everyone knows that the principle is actually a circle. When this point is not good, everyone really doesn't watch it, then you have to leave. When you come back to this point later, everyone would applauds. FOr example TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) has been so entertaining and its fights so exciting, it was actually equivalent to the comic action style of DRAGON TIGER GATE in the past. It seemed to have not appeared for a long time. Suddenly it has reached this point, the audience felt that it was rather exciting." He believed that the industry should observe more and try to be flexible. The reporter asked if he has gone to another point for the new film he was about to start filming? He said, "Yes, maybe the police and crime action films used to be like that, but my action movies have never been formulaic, police movies might not be as attractive without them. So I went to try the thriller. Although it wasn't that kind of fighting, it still made the movie cohesive." He bluntly said that although he did not know whether it would be a box office hit, he at least tried. In addition, Lam Chiu Yin announced that he and Nick Cheung Ka Fai would collaborate again on UNBEATABLE 2 (GIK JIN 2) next year. The reporter asked how would he build Ka Fai's strongest body today 12 years later? Lam Chiu Yin joked that last time Ka Fai has already conquered everyone with his "action", which was just a part of the film. Actually it was more important to find this spirit of self-challenge from the characters and spirit, and to resonate with everyone today. "Getting bigger once more would be meaningless. Everyone was 'wow' at that time. That spirit would be more important, just as everyone is in difficult times now; this resonance is more important than anything else!" * (2025/09/15) Andrew Lam Man Chung, Law Mong (Master Law), Christine Ng Wing Mei, Yanny han Wing Yan, Amy Lo Wai Man, ANSONBEAN, Chloe So Ho Yi, Ken Law Ho Ming, Fung So Bo, Alex To Tak Wai and others went to Tsim Sha Tsui last night to attend the premiere of the movie GOOD GAME (JOOK DIN), but Will Or Wai Lam, who admitted to having lung adenocarcinoma earlier, did not appear. Lost contact for a while due to the disconnection of his mobile phone number and absent from the promotion of the movie, Master Law arrived late accompanied by his wife. He had a haggard face, a slim figure, a slightly sluggish expression, and only said in a brief interview on stage. "I don't know how to play video games, but I can practice kung fu handily." He then declined to be interviewed on the grounds of physical fatigue, and left without entering the theater with the team. It is reported that it is uncertain whether Master Law would be able to continue to participate in the publicity in the future. When asked if he has asked about Master Law's situation? Lam Man Chung joked, "What's wrong with him? He's as big as a mule, with divine power to protect his body, he's okay. He just lost his phone." He lamented that acting was like life, people who had nothing to do with each other could come together. With Law Mong losing his phone and Or Wai Lam being sick, like the movie said life would have its ups and downs but he was glad to be a part. He joked that if the movie has good results, he would fight with Master Law. Can Wing Yan said that she still would need to perform in stage plays in the future, so the wedding to be held elsewhere in January next year would be handled by her fiancé Gareth Chan Hau Wai. Would she invite all her former Super Girls teammates to attend the wedding? She admitted that the seats would be limited and so she might not. Playing a virtual character in the film, Lo Wai Man said that during an action scene she injured her kneecap and revealed that she took the shield she used in the film home as a memento. * (2025/09/14) The "post-80s" new director Mandrew Kwan Man Him used to focus on filming short films and documentaries. After many years of waiting, he finally had the opportunity to direct his first film THE REMNANT (NGOK YUN DONG DOH), exploring many social issues such as rehabilitated people, unwed mothers, drug trafficking, and real estate hegemony, hoping to make the audience think about the right and wrong issues in the new social environment. He described completing this work with limited resources as a great training and hoping that more works will be released one after another to continue to pursue his film dream. In 2008 Kwan Man Hin co-directed the movie COFFEE OR TEA with his teacher and film critic Shu Kei (Yip Kin Heng). He was still a student at the Academy of Performing Arts at the time. The film still has yet to be officially released. After graduation he started a production company, focusing on making documentaries and dramatic short films. THE REMNANT was Kwan Man Hin's first officially solo directed film. "Even if I opened a production company, I still really wanted to make a movie in my heart. I have been storing nutrients through filming work, hoping to make a movie with feelings in the future. THE REMNANT was derived from these nutrients." The film revolved around the story of the lower classes of society. Kwan Man Hin said that because he made a short film many years ago, he came into contact with many people of this class. Among them he met a mob boss who had been imprisoned for murder, and after being released from prison he ran a Tai Pai Tong to help him rehabilitate. The location was where the old and the new intersected, To Kwa Wan. The old building near the eatery have all been bought out, only with the building of the mob boss' shop no one dared to claim until the lease was up. At the time he learned the story behind the building buy out and thought that if he turned this story a little more heroic and made into a movie, it would be rather interesting. The movie changed the story from the original Tai Pai Tong to a laundry that was closer to the community. Kwan Man Hin believed that the owner of the laundry could see what happened to each customer from the clothes, so he decided to use this character background as the story development. He said that he has a very close connection with every actor in the film. "At first, I never thought about Keung Ho Man would play the role of the laundry owner, but because I couldn't imagine it the effect was pretty good. He played it with great weight and aura. Yip Tung's scene was specifically rewritten after meeting and talking with her, so she often joked that it was her true nature performance. Wan Yeung Ming's character image was very deep, so he deliberately went to a character image that was completely different from what he had played before, and turned it into a comedy element of the whole film." Kwan Man Hin said that his movie was absolutely not a mob movie, only that the story contained mob elements to display the boldness of a mobster. Filmed from the perspective of a genre film, the story leaned towards realism, and various problems are brought out by renewal and whitewashing. "It involves how society is updated and replaced, how people adapt to a new environment, the story and characters occur in a changing environment. Facing these environments would be very frightening and uneasy, and we must stick to the past or face the new environment; now this city is also facing this problem, do we still have to talk about the Spirit of the Lion Rock and let everyone know that we are all able to endure? Or do we have to accept the new environment? These were all questions that needed to be thought about often, and there were many views of the old and new schools written in the film, who was right and who was wrong? Just let the audience think for themselves." Kwan Man Hin felt that as a new director, he indeed had many stories that he wanted to tell. He wanted to add a lot of content into his first movie, so he had to start writing the first draft then slowly narrow them down. "I am not young anymore; I have accumulated a lot of things I want to tell, more than ordinary young directors. However ultimately due to limited resources, I couldn't say too much. This time the filming time of this movie was only 16 days, and the additional shoot only took half a day to complete. I even had two action scenes have to shoot, so I have to shoot concisely and clearly. There shouldn't be too many rough edges, which is a good thing for me as a first-time director. It is a very good training to remind yourself not to have so many branches." Kwan Man Hin felt that short films and movies each have their fun parts. After graduation he has been waiting for the opportunity to make a movie, but for a while he felt that there was no chance and originally planned to give up. "Because I started to get older, I felt that I should not do things I was not sure about, and I did feel lost and confused. I didn't know what I could do. After I completed this movie, I really want to thank the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers." Releasing his first movie in the cold film industry winter, he felt that it was not a bad thing. Because there may not be many choices, the movie might be able to attract the audience to watch. The goal was to continue to release films one after another, only then would the movie dream be realized. * (2025/09/14) The Frederick Ma Si Heng hosted, Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui narrated ViuTV's new program THE SPIRIT OF THE LION ROCK FRED MA premiered last night, inviting 10 guests closely related to Hong Kong to share their stories of perseverance and the "Spirit of Lion Rock" in their minds. The guest of the first episode, Michael Hui Koon Man, recalled his childhood experience of poverty. He said that the hard life inspired his creativity and made him achieve classic works that became popular in Asia back then. He mentioned that his parents lived in poverty and even ate tree bark to satisfy their hunger, which made him develop the idea of "being willing to do anything for two meals" since he was a child. Hui Koon Man said that his parents strongly opposed his entry into the entertainment industry and believed that this path had no future. However he inherited his parents' love for acting and singing. Although he did not receive support from his family, he was determined to follow his dream and audition for a TV station, where he was appreciated for his eloquence and served as a program host. With the popularity of the show, Hui Koon Man got more opportunities to develop his film and singing career, and quickly became popular. Hui Koon Man believed that the film industry should break the old and create the new, with THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) as an example. He pointed out that the Hong Kong film market still had potential, and audiences have been waiting for high-quality works to be released. He described the film industry as an ice age, but as long as we adhere to Hong Kong's Lion Rock spirit, we could strive for self-improvement in the face of adversity and return to the glory days of the past. * (2025/09/13) Anthony Wong Yiu Ming, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip, Wong Ha Wai and others attended the "Opening Ceremony of the 36th Hong Kong Lesbian and Gay Film Festival" yesterday, Wong Yiu Ming and Lo Chun Yip expressed their support for the "Registration of Same-Sex Partnerships Bill" and regretted that it could not be passed by the Legislative Council. Wong Yiu Ming once said that he would never regret being able to reach the Hong Kong Coliseum, but he also hoped to perform in Hong Kong again and would try to apply for other venues; Lo Chun Yip said that he would not mind playing a more daring gay role, and joked that he believed that his girlfriend Fish Liew Chi Yu would be interested in watching it. Siuyea Lo Chun Yip said that he was there to support director Ray Yeung Yiu Hoi, executive director of the film festival. "We have been working together since SUK SUK, and would be on the jury for the screenplay contest of the lesbian and gay film festival he organized." He said that in "SUK SUK" he played the son of gay father Ben Yuen Fu Wah, and also had a gay relationship with Phoebus Ng Kai Yeung in the drama "MARGARET AND DAVID TIE". It was also the only time he played a gay man. He believed that playing gay people was no different from other roles. As an actor he would not mind playing any role, the most important was that the role had flesh and blood. Even if the role would require more daring performances, he had no problem. Would his girlfriend Fish Liew Chi Yu be able to accept it? He laughed and said, "I believe she has no problem and would be interested in watching it, but I should be in good shape to be able to perform. Now I definitely wouldn't pass." Lo Chun Yip said that overall he supported the passing of the registration of same-sex partnerships bill. "Everyone after watching the movie ALL SHALL BE WELL (CHUNG GUM YI HAU) last year learned that same-sex partnerships would encounter some unfair treatment or difficulties legally. I feel that if this bill is passed, same-sex partners would receive certain level of respect. When they truly have to face legal issues, they would not be completely without support. Unfortunately it has yet to be passed." * (2025/09/13) Chen Bo-lin, Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and many other actors, as well as producer Lau Ho Leung, director Lee Tang Sing and art director Wing Shya (Ha Wing Hong), filmed the new film SEE YOU MY DEAR (NUI YI 2) at the Ocean Park Aquarium the night before. Chen Bo-lin and Yu Heung Ying revealed that the movie would wrap in a few days, and they said in unison that this was the film they have "cried the most in" in their career. The story was about the couple they played, because of the death of their daughter they chose to use artificial intelligence to reshape their robot daughter. The story was heavy and had many emotional scenes. Yu Heung Ying even said that everyday when she woke up her eyes were swollen. Chen Bo-lin this time even faced the challenge of all Cantonese dialogues. He admitted that he has not used Cantonese for more than ten years, and received praise from Yu Heung Ying for his professionalism. She even joked, "He actively practices everyday and has not made anything sound like foul language. Because he has many Hong Kong friends, he knows very well which pronunciations to be careful with." Yu Heung Ying played the mother again in the film. She joked that she had "children all over the world", as if she has entered the ranks of "Mama Ka Yin" (Nancy Sit Ka Yin); she would soon become "Mama Heung Ying". Playing a father for the first time, Chen Bo-Lin thought it was "fun" because he could feel different experiences. In particular he admired the quirks of the 9-year-old actor in the film. Yu Heung Ying even revealed that the young actor said to her privately, "I am very envious of having a tall and handsome Papa like Chen Bolin." When asked if Chen Bolin had any interest in becoming a father because of the role, especially due to the rampant rumor that he would marry his girlfriend Ting Hsuan at the end of the year? Chen Bolin said that he would tell everyone if there was good news, but he has planned to be a father. He said with a smile, "I have seen Yu Heung Ying very happy with children." Yu Heung Ying broke the news again that that Chen Bo-Lin would constantly ask her out of curiosity what she would do with her children before work. Perhaps he saw the look of exhaustion of her face. Yu Heung Ying appeared with a new style of short hair, thanking the art director Wing Shya (Ha Wing Hong) for the design to make her look younger. "Otherwise how can I be worthy of Chen Bo-lin?" Earlier her workload has been said to drastically dropped after winning Best Actress, she said that she did not want to explain further. That day she just bought ice cream and chatted with the manager during her break from work, but it was made into a big fuss. She admitted that the industry is in a difficult period, and many filmmakers need to work part-time to help make ends meet. She was still grateful that she was able to continue to perform, and often working with Hong Kong and Taiwan "male gods". She also revealed that she intended to try behind-the- scenes work in the future, and has been working with Fish Liew Chi Yu to conceive a script. She was inclined to be a screenwriter, while Fish would be aiming to direct. In addition, Chen Bo-lin also mentioned the interesting story of running into Keung To in Taiwan earlier. "He really has a lot of fans, so when the movie is released I must invite Keung To to support it." * (2025/09/12) The movie GOOD GAME (JOOK DIN) has been scheduled for release on September 18, in the film Andrew Lam Man Chung played by the Internet café owner who considered closing the Internet café due to business difficulties. Then because he discovered an e-sports competition with generous prizes, he pulled together a wild card squad to participate in hopes of winning prize money to continue to operate the Internet café. Lam Man Chung and his onscreen "daughter" Yanny Chan Wing Yan were interviewed to talk about their feelings and interesting things about filming. Lam Man Chung humorously claimed to be a third-generation e-sports world champion. "My great grandfather and grandmother won the provincial-Hong Kong Cup e-sports championship in the sixth year of Emperor Tongzi's reign, and I was born with a mouse in my mouth!" The crew specifically invited a real e-sports master to direct their movements, but he joked that he only learned for a few minutes yet was praised for being more convincing. Lam Man Chung boasted, "We make a living from our acting skills!" Chan Wing Yan said that working with Lam Man Chung was very fresh, and required her to keep her brain flexible to be able to cope with his improvisation. Was she able to follow him? She said with a smile, "I found a way. If I only follow the script, my rhythm would very easily be disrupted." She said that although Lam Man Chung was often nonsensical, she liked this lively atmosphere and thought that he was able to drive the performance. Lam Man Chung joked that when he would improvise out of the blue, Pakho Chau would "pinch" his thigh to hold back his laughter, and Ekin Cheng would say something nonsensical and resolved it. Chan Wing Yan praised Will Or Wai Lam for his strong emotional performance, and Sister Bo (Fung So Bo) for being rich in experience. Chan Wing Yan pointed out that Brother Chung would often improvise when filming, but the director never would never yell cut. Instead he would let everyone continue to play. She would learn from that but would very rarely be unable to hold her laughter. Lam Man Chung revealed Ng Wing Mei was the easiest to crack up on the set. Chan Wing Yan praised Brother Chung for enriching the role with his limbs and would not let go of wanting to give everyone a lot of "Input" (improvisation). Lam Man Chung felt that there was no generation gap when working with young actors this time. Speaking of the downturn in the Hong Kong film market, Lam Man Chung admitted that he was lucky to have a movie. After all, the economic environment has been unclear, and film investors have been discouraged. Some of his own plans that have been in preparation have also been postponed. He laughed and said, "I have a lot of petals; even when the movie hasn't started production yet, I can continue to perform the concert tour first." * (2025/09/11) TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) was released last year with a box office of more than HK$ 100 million. Director Soi Cheang Pou Soi has been preparing to start filming the prequels THE DRAGON THRONE (LUNG TAU) and THE FINAL CHAPTHER (JUNG JEUNG), and would shoot "The Final Chapter" first as planned. Cheang Pou Soi was interviewed by the online channel CHAR CHAR TALK hosted by Zhai Haoran earlier. Speaking of the styling design of the Four Sons of the Walled City, he said that when "Sei Jai" German Cheung Man Kit learned that he had to wear a mask, he asked if he would wear it from the beginning to the end. At that time he said to Cheung Man Kit that the mask was the soul and would be helpful to him, and he would be allowed to show his face at the right time. "Sei Jai in the end also removed his mask to show his face. Now I am considering whether Sei Jai would wear a mask again in THE FINAL CHAPTER." DRAGON THRONE would gather a group of elder actors. From the perspective of age, Cheang Pou Soi admitted that he had thought about filming DRAGON THRONE first, but the filming time of THE FINAL CHAPTER and DRAGON THRONE would not be too far apart. The scripts were created simultaneously, because the details of the two films and the relationship between the characters were interconnected. Some people have questions about TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN, curious if Tornado (Louis Koo Tin Lok) knew early on that Chan Lok Kwa (Raymond Lam Fung) was the son of his late friend Chan Jim (Aaron Kwok Fu Sing)? Cheang Pou Soi said, "Tornado didn't know at first, until a dinner with Yam Yin Chai (Richie Jen) played Dik Chau and the (Kenny) Wong Tak Bun played Brother Tiger when he finally learned of Chan Lok Kwan's identity. If he knew in advance he would not let Chan Lok Kwan appear at the inner. After Tornado learned the truth at the dinner, he immediately asked Chan Lok Kwan and others who were not present to go elsewhere for dinner." He said that because one of the scenes where Tornado gave Chan Lok Kwan a shave, and he was edited to look like he was giving Chan Jim a shave. Tornado only thought of his friend, and this scene might have confused the audience. Cheang Pou Soi said that when filming TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) he just wanted to do his best. He did not dare to have too much confidence, as his mood was confused at the time; because the new generation of audiences did not know the Kowloon Walled City, the original comics, and the novel was not very popular. "I was worried that comic fans would complain about the movie not matching the original work. When CITY OF DARKNESS' comic book creator Szeto Kim Kiu first as Lam Fung's Chan Lok Kwan he was very surprised too." He said that the success of TWILIGHT was due to the times, if filming started a few years earlier, the star power of the four sons alone would have no boss willing to invest in. In recent years new faces became successful. He also admitted that he had a burden when shooting the "Walled City" series again, "Because of its popularity, the current "Walled City" is not only mine but also belongs to the audience. During production I would consider whether the audience would want to see it, but I can't just make what the audience wants to see. I also have to satisfy my own creation. I would think about how to surprise and move the audience." * (2025/09/11) Korean star Lee Sung-kyoung, mainland movie star Elaine Zhong Chuxi, Hong Kong actor Terrance Lau Chun Him and others attended a watch brand promotion event yesterday. Lau Chun Him's birthday would be this month. He revealed that he would probably be at work that day and would not have time off. TWLIGHTS OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTHER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG) would start filming, Lau Chun Him revealed that he has always keeping up with his physical fitness and admitted that injury was inevitable when filming action movies, only by giving his all would a good movie be made. Lau Chun Him has not yet received the news of the official start of production. Regarding his co-star Tony Wu Tsz Tung's recollection of a serious jaw injury during the filming of the first film, Ah Him said that injury was inevitable while filming action scenes. He was also scratched by a motorcycle during filming. "You can't hold back when filming action movies, because only by giving your all would be a good movie be made."

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.

Chow wields colorful yet noirish atmospherics with a maestro's command, the dank stairwells and flickering fluorescents conjuring palpable peril.

Bodies hang precariously from the windows in a tangle of flesh and blood that soon leaves one man dead, while the other coolly walks away, shrugging off just another day in the life of a trained assassin. Known only as No. 4, this bleach-blond, stone-faced killer soon finds himself in Japan, where a seemingly straightforward assignment quickly spirals into a breathless game of cat-and-mouse with the Yakuza's deadliest foot soldiers. No. 4's client, a young woman with a personal vendetta against the city’s most notorious crime syndicate, ropes him into becoming her unwitting accomplice in a game of revenge that leaves them both out of their depth with a bounty on their heads. As their relationship evolves from professional to personal, they are left with no choice but to fight side by side if they are to survive the next 72 desperate hours. Wearing his influences proudly on his sleeve, first-time director NJO steers a classic gun-toting tale of heroic bloodshed into a head-on collision with a sleek, katana-wielding crime story of honour, betrayal, camaraderie, and vengeance. Drenched in neon and buffed to a shimmering polish, ROAD TO VENDETTA owes an inescapable debt to the works of John Woo, Johnnie To, Kinji Fukasaku, and Takashi Miike, even as it doffs its cap to the Hollywood homages—from KILL BILL to JOHN WICK—that have forged this path ahead of it. The result is a composed and enthralling calling card from an emerging new talent, paired with an agile, unflinching leading man, who together make an unstoppable pair.

Bodies hang precariously from the windows in a tangle of flesh and blood that soon leaves one man dead, while the other coolly walks away, shrugging off just another day in the life of a trained assassin. Known only as No. 4, this bleach-blond, stone-faced killer soon finds himself in Japan, where a seemingly straightforward assignment quickly spirals into a breathless game of cat-and-mouse with the Yakuza's deadliest foot soldiers. No. 4's client, a young woman with a personal vendetta against the city’s most notorious crime syndicate, ropes him into becoming her unwitting accomplice in a game of revenge that leaves them both out of their depth with a bounty on their heads. As their relationship evolves from professional to personal, they are left with no choice but to fight side by side if they are to survive the next 72 desperate hours. Wearing his influences proudly on his sleeve, first-time director NJO steers a classic gun-toting tale of heroic bloodshed into a head-on collision with a sleek, katana-wielding crime story of honour, betrayal, camaraderie, and vengeance. Drenched in neon and buffed to a shimmering polish, ROAD TO VENDETTA owes an inescapable debt to the works of John Woo, Johnnie To, Kinji Fukasaku, and Takashi Miike, even as it doffs its cap to the Hollywood homages—from KILL BILL to JOHN WICK—that have forged this path ahead of it. The result is a composed and enthralling calling card from an emerging new talent, paired with an agile, unflinching leading man, who together make an unstoppable pair. (JAMES MARSH) [ CINEMA CITY ] In Asia, a mysterious assassin organization operates under the guise of a noodle shop hidden in a bustling city, serving as a haven for killers. Assassin No. 4, orphaned at a young age and raised in the noodle shop, is sent to Japan to eliminate a yakuza boss. However, he is unexpectedly ambushed by his client, a Japanese girl seeking revenge. To exact her vengeance, she spares no expense in hiring the assassin and attempts to enlist No. 4 in her grand revenge plan, only for their actions to inadvertently provoke a relentless pursuit by the yakuza, putting both their lives in danger...
