MISCELLANEOUS * (2026/03/18) The famous cinematographer and director Venus Keung Kwok Man has been in the industry for 42 years, has been a cinematographer for SEVEN SWORDS (CHUT GIM), ONE NITE IN MONGKOK (WONG GOK HAK YEH) and DOUBLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG), has been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards and Golden Horse Awards, and directed BULLET AND BRAIN (SUN CHEUNG SAU YU JI DOR SING) and TREASURE HUNT (MO GAN JI BO), etc. He yesterday at the Hong Kong International Film and Television Market (Filmart) announced the creation of Hong Kong's first XR "6D immersive experience" film HARBOR DREAMS: HONG KONG XR ADVENTURE with a duration of 20 minutes, combining innovative technology and Hong Kong's multiculturalism, saying that it subverts the traditional movie viewing concept, allowing the audience to experience the sight, fragrance, touch and add game interaction, the production cost is about four to five million, and it takes 4 to 6 months. Audiences would need to wear monitors to enjoy XR movies, and Keung Kwok Man said that he would simultaneously prepare to open experience halls in various parts of China and abroad to connect movie screenings, each accommodating 6 viewers, requiring hundreds of thousands of computers, head-mounted monitors and vibrating tablet equipment; another plan would be to negotiate with traditional cinemas to set up XR movie experience stores, "Everyone can spend 20 minutes in the experience hall to experience XR movies before watching big movies, and have different enjoyments." Starting in film, Keung Kwok Man's first XR movie production would have content, picture and quality according to film standards. He admitted that the cost would be relatively higher. "I started developing XR movies more than two years ago. Last year when I participated in the Mainland Golden Rooster Awards, I noticed this track. This year I have confirmed to make two XR movie, hoping to compete for related awards." AI technology invading the film world has become a hot debate in Hollywood, threatening all professionals' livelihood. Keung Kwok Man said that he would regard XR movies as one of the projects in the film industry, although he joins AI technology, he still needs the help of talents in various positions of film production, believing that it will not destroy the ecology of the film and television industry, but to give everyone an extra way out; and educate the audience to watch various films from different angles, which is the real film development. "AI is a general trend, AI films are just generated by human instructions. Many films are exactly the same, the value of filmmakers lies in their thinking and creation. I have been making films for decades and have not been afraid, and generations are getting more and more advanced, from film to the digital age, everyone just follows the steps. Are we going to destroy AI? There are long and short film and television productions, all kinds of things, each has its own market, the market is very large, no one kills whom, but everyone takes what they need, some people want to watch AI movies and have to supply, if you want to watch actors acting, you can continue to watch big movies." Keung Kwok Man said that XR movies also need to use real scenery and virtual images. In addition to technicians and engineers, they also photographers, directors, screenwriters, producers, voice actors and post-dimming, etc., even if it is an action scene, it requires a martial artist to design the action, of course, without a large number of manpower, "I have not abandoned traditional film talents. This industry has raised me, I want to help the industry and be the trailblazer in alternative movies. I also want to maintain the survival of some professionals. I will not give up making big movies." He revealed that he was in negotiation for actors to participate in the virtual performance of the movie. The actors were exempted from performance and manual labor, only sketching portraits and appearances to match computer production. Would he save a lot in actor's fee? He said, "Buying actors' portrait rights needs to be given a reasonable value, depending on the broadcast channel, if there are 1,000 theaters for screening, if you can pay for it, you should." * (2026/03/18) Movies that were once known as "urban legends" have been released one by one in recent years, among which BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) has recorded nearly HK$ 100 million at the box office with remarkable results! Having made countless films, Louis Koo Tin Lok (Goo Jai) turned out to still have many starring movies waiting to be "resurrected", including THE DREAM, THE BUBBLE AND THE SHADOW (SHUI BIN JAU LIU DAI FUT), TRIER OF FACT (SAU KYUT JEH), MASTERMIND (JING JIN) and UNDER CONTROL (YUT SIN SUN GEI). Goo Jai could definitely be named the "King of Legends"! Reportedly MASTERMIND would be scheduled to be released this year, and a pilot poster would be launched at the film and television exhibition held yesterday. Films such as BACK TO THE PAST and SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) were once known as Hong Kong's "urban legends". They have been released successively, and have received many nominations at the Hong Kong Film Awards this year. Actually Hong Kong and mainland film circles still had many "urban legends", among which Koo Tin Lok, a prolific actor in the industry, has many starring works that are still "waiting to be screened", including the Wilson Yip Wai Shun directed THE DREAM, THE BUBBLE AND THE SHADOW, UNDER CONTROL that also starred Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) and Louis Cheung Kai Chung, and TRIER OF FACT that starred Eddie Peng Yu-Yan, Philip Keung Ho Man, Chrissie Chau Sau Na and guest starred Raymong Lam Fung, and the Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, Emily Lo Wai Man starred MASTERMIND. Among them UNDER CONTROL already wrapped production in 2021 but waited for 5 years still without any release update. It would likely challenge PAST's "waiting for over 6 years to be released" record. "Hong Kong Entertainment Expo 2026" was unveiled yesterday, Goo Jai, Chin Kar Lok, Crescendo Hung Cho Sing and Raymond Wong Pak Ming appeared. Goo Jai was not interviewed, and his film company did not make a large-scale promotional offensive at this year's Film and Television Market (Filmart). However the film he starred in MASTERMIND (JING JIN) is expected to be released this year, and has also launched a pilot poster. The film company that invested in the film has placed the poster in a prominent place in the booth, hoping to attract film buyers from all over the world and help the film open up overseas markets. Before the release of BACK TO THE PAST, many online often asked from time to time when it would be released. After its launch at the end of last year, it won word of mouth and box office by a mile, and at this year's Lunar New Year even launched an extended version. Now its box office in Hong Kong is approaching HK$ 100 million. After BACK, the Goo Jai film the internet was the most concerned about had to be THE DREAM, THE BUBBLE AND THE SHADOW. The IP MAN film series director Wilson Yip Wai Shun directed the film. The two collaborated again after PARADOX (SAT POR LONG: TAM LONG), and many viewers have looked forward to it. The film once released its teaser in 2023 but has never had an official release date unfortunately. Earlier Goo Jai was asked when THE DREAM, THE BUBBLE AND THE SHADOW would be released, and he could not help but personally solve the mystery of its lack of release. He stated that the release was not the decision of him alone, but required many factors to coordinate. However, the "covered in dust" for the longest in "legend" series must be the Tsui Hark directed 3D movie CATCH THE MONKEY (JAU HAU), which started filming in 2010 and starred Charlie Yeung Choi Nei, Yu Nan and Chen Xiaodong. It was a crime suspense movie, and has been said to be a remake of the Tsui Hark produced, Brigitte Lin (Lam Ching Ha), Joey Wong Cho Yin and Elizabeth Lee Mei Fung starred WEB OF DECEPTION (GAING WON GEI). Charlie even deliberately lost weight and got a tan for the film. When she was interviewed she even joked that she made CATCH in hopes of picking up some tricks for her directing debut CHRISTMAS ROSE (SING DAN MUI GWAI). Unexpectedly, now CHRISTMAS ROSE has been released for 13 years but CATCH remained sunken at sea. Charlie has also gone from being single at the time of filming to now being a mother. Active on social platforms in recent years, she would often shared life highlight. Earlier she shared photos of enjoying the movie NIGHT KING (YEH WONG), saying that the film evoked a lot of memories for her, including Leslie Cheung Kwong Wing's invitation to watch the premiere of THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR (BAK FAT MOR NUI JUEN), as well as past filming tidbits. She said, "I am used to watching all of the credits before leaving. This movie has brought back too many memories......I really miss the days when I started working on the set with everyone." Many fans have asked her to "make a comeback" to filming as soon as possible, and some online have also praised her for taking good care of herself and definitely had the conditions to fight in the film industry again. * (2026/03/18) The prequel to the COLD WAR (HONG JIN) film series COLD WAR 1994 (HONG JIN 1994), starring handsome men Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) and Terrance Lau Chun Him, has attracted attention since its low-key start last year. The film's cast and crew would appear today at the Film and Television Market (Filmart) to promote the movie for the first time and preview the release date. Reportedly, this story would focus on a kidnapping case of a wealthy man before Hong Kong's handover, which caused financial turmoil; and the law enforcement agencies were torn apart due to power struggles. The soul character would traverse between the mob, the business world and the colonial government, as the operation codenamed "Cold War" was about to be launched. Reportedly the film would be scheduled for release on October 1st, and the extension work COLD WAR 1995 would be scheduled for release next year. Although many fans have been looking forward to the return of Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung Ka Fai, according to the story timeline the two would not appear in the movie. As for Taiwan star Wu Kang-ren, his role was average and has been said to "level down" to supporting role. * (2026/03/18) Mei Ah Entertainment announced key new films in 2026, covering a variety of subjects such as family, technology, female growth and action suspense, among which SEE YOU MY DEAR (NUI YI 2), BIRD OF PARADISE (MA YEUNG NIN WA) and MASTERMIND (JING JIN) are all highly anticipated. Jointly produced by Mei Ah Entertainment, Bingo Group, Sil- Metropole Organization and Umo Studio, the Lau Ho Leung produced, new director Jason Lee Tung Yuk directed SEE YOU MY DEAR would gather Asian male god Chen Bolin, Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and child star Hathy Law Hei Yi, as well as the Hong Kong Film Award winner Tai Bo, Albert Cheung Mo Hau and other good actors to help. Wing Shya (Ha Wing Hong) would serve as the art director and in charge of the preview poster, and the Hong Kong Film Award-level screenwriters Frankie Tam Kwong Yuen and Ashley Cheung Yin Kei would write. The story would be about a couple after experiencing family trauma. The husband tries to "replace" their lost daughter with AI, triggering a conflict between reality and illusion and exploring the cowardice of human nature and the value of emotions. The trailer released yesterday features a near-dialogue-free design to create strong emotional tension. Director Lee Tung Yuk said, "In an era of technological anxiety, we try to use the mirror of AI to think about whether artificial intelligence brings people closer or blurs the boundaries of human nature. Through the life and death of relatives and the obsession with replacing it with technology, the film brings out the cowardly side of human nature - but it is this cowardice that reflects the most precious and unique essence of human emotions." After watching the trailer, Yu Heung Ying was deeply moved as she recalled the warmth of the family during filming, the happy scene of interacting with the "daughter" and at the same time evoking the grief of losing the "daughter". Particularly memorable for her was the trailer's only dialogue: "When I interpreted that dialogue, I actually had a bit of accusation and heartache. Because my daughter has become a robot, my husband is addicted to illusions, I love them deeply, but I want to remind my husband what is real." The film BIRD OF PARADISE and MASTERMIND would tightly follow in distribution. Among them, the Saville Chan Sum Yiu produced, Wu Chui Yi directed and written, Catherine Chau Ka Yee, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Peter Chan Charm Man, Yeung Nga Man and Cheung Dik Man starred BIRD OF PARADISE was a winner of the 7th First Feature Film Initiative High Education and Institution Group that would explore the women's subject of "mothers can have dreams too" with humorous and warm brushstrokes.

Michael Dao Tai Yu has joined the show as Kwok Lai Yu's uncle Kong Loi Fat. Sharing the screen again with Lau Ching Wan after nearly 35 years away, the show can be called "Hong Kong drama youth memory killing".

Alan Luk Chun Kwong, Chu Tin and Elizabeth Tang To would play the ICAC investigators under Lee Yuek Tung, and the strength of the new Hong Kong star should not be underestimated. * (2026/03/18) Chin Kar Lok attended the launching ceremony of the Hong Kong Entertainment Expo yesterday and represented the Hong Kong Stuntmen Association to support it. He said that fewer familiar investors and producers would be at this year's expo, but the number of friends from the mainland increased significantly. He believed that this was a trend that the industry must get accustomed to, and it was also a time for the Hong Kong film and television industry to transform. It was also necessary to rely on the new generation of young people to undertake and keep pace with the times. Kar Lok was also pleased to see that members in their early 30s received awards at the Spring Dinner of the Association, which not only expressed respect for their predecessors but also symbolized the importance of handing over the baton to the new generation. Regarding the movie "1941" to raise funds for the Association, Chin Kar Lok revealed that filming will start at the end of the year and announced that Louis Koo Tin Lok, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) and Charmaine Sheh Sze Man will participate. However Sheh Sze Man said that she has not yet officially confirmed her participation, and Chin Kar Lok explained that she might just be embarrassed to confirm unilaterally.

Chin Kar Lok pointed out that to be able to start filming the sequel to TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI) and announce a new movie at the same time were worthy of everyone to be happy about. He believed that if only small productions would be left in Hong Kong, the market would be unhealthy. Thus he agreed with what director Cheang Pou Soi said, film is an industry that cannot stand still with just one or two works. It must continue to develop. He added that he and Chan Tak Sumn have been making movies for 40 years, and his biggest wish was to reassure investors and do a good job in Hong Kong film brands. * (2026/03/18) Radio Television Hong Kong held the first "Micro Short Drama Script Creation Competition" award ceremony at the 30th Hong Kong International Film and Television Market yesterday, with Director of Broadcasting Kwan Yuen-yee, screenwriter Cheung Fei Fan and Philip Ng Wan Lung as the award presenters.

Some fans even came to Hong Kong from around the world to support us, they had to take the plane and book hotels, which couldn't have been easy. I can tell that this group of fans since the drama A STEP INTO THE PAST premiere still likes and is drawn to this story over 2 decades, growing up with us. This support is very rare. Although this 3-year-old little Emperor Qin may not know who I, Suen Huen or Emperor Qin is, but his parents are willing to put this effort into supporting us; which makes me very happy." Regarding the audience's love for the "Lung Fong couple" he and Suen Huen formed in the film. Would he consider filming the "couple" spin off?

Mainland actress Zhang Ziyi won the "Excellence in Asian Cinema Award", mainland actor Liu Haoran won the "AFA New Generation Award", and Terrance Lau Chun Hin won the "AFA Rising Star Award". The Asian Film Awards competition last year had over 20 award categories, including Best Film, Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, etc. Sean Lau Ching Wan with PAPA won the Asian Film Award Best Actor. This year the Asian Film Awards took place in a solemn and simple manner, canceling the film competition as the winners were announced in advanced. This event announced the reason of canceling the awards early this year was the Tai Po fire last year, considering that the government postponed many official celebrations this decision was made. The Asian Film Awards Academy chair Ricky Wong Ying Wai earlier said that in coordination with the government's low profile event handling, the nominations and the jury were unable to be handled in time. Last night famous mainland director Jia Zhangke presented Zhang Ziyi with the "Excellence in Asian Cinema Award". Zhang Ziyi said in an interview backstage that she was very happy to receive the award, because this was a very important award for her. This was her second award after winning the Best Actress Award for THE GRANDMASTER (YUT DOI JUNG SI). This time the caliber was much heavier, but her mood was more relaxed. Speaking of her deep connection with Hong Kong, how did it feel to come to Hong Kong this time? Zhang Ziyi said, "A few days ago I attended the Hong Kong Screenwriters' Guild Spring Dinner and Awards Ceremony, and I was interviewed by the Hong Kong media at that time. I used to be very nervous in front of the Hong Kong media, because there were a lot of 'paparazzi'; but now they are gone, which is a good thing. This time I have interacted with the media without any obstacle yet. Everyone has been very friendly, and the questions were all about the movie, which made me relax a lot." Having played many different roles, she revealed that she wanted to play realism, about living in the moment and affectionate roles, and revealed that she was about to start filming. Which one would she prefer between being the director and the actor? Zhang Ziyi said, "If I can choose, as an actor I would want the most to meet a soulful and interesting role; for directing work, it is required and quite interesting; but it will be very hard to be a writer, director, and actor at the same time. It's like schizophrenia, because watch the picture while acting would be very hard, but with a good script, I would give it a try." The "AFA New Generation Award" recipient Liu Haoran said in Cantonese in an interview backstage, "I'm so happy, thank you!" He added that he was very excited to receive the award, and he was very happy to be recognized after 12 years in the industry. Talking about his unforgettable experience in the entertainment industry, he said that he was honored to co-star with Chow Yun Fat in the movie DETECTIVE CHINATOWN 1900 in 2024. "Because I grew up watching Fat Gor's movies since I was little, I have always regarded him as an idol. I was finally able to film together on the set. Fat Gor was very willing to share his own experience. Every morning he would take us running, and even promised to run the half marathon in Hong Kong together." What other roles would he like to play? Liu Haoran said that he wanted to play the role of a father. "I have some experience in acting, but I feel that actors have to act according to their age. I have started to grow up, so I want to play the role of a father. For example my father and I have talked about it, if I play a father I would have ideas on how to teach the child." Directors Sunny Chan Wing Sun and Peter Chan Charm Man presented the "AFA Rising Star Award" to the winner Lau Chun Him, who not only thanked his manager and family on stage, but also thanked his wife Cecilia Choi Sze Wan. In an interview backstage, Lau Chun Him admitted that he has not attended an award ceremony for a long time, and as an actor he often needed to be recognize. Winning this award has been a great encouragement for him. He was very happy but "I don't dare to say that this award has given a shot of confidence to my career." Lau Chun Him said that his wife Choi Sze Wan was overseas. After accepting the award he would video chat with her as a celebration, and revealed that he would start working today and continue to work hard. Speaking of the most profound experience in his career, he stated that every time has been profound, of course the husband and wife collaboration was very profound. What other roles would he like to try? Lau Chun Him said, "In addition to playing roles I haven't played before, I also want to be a screenwriter and director. I have just finished writing a story, hoping to expand my ability as an actor and the development of all aspects of directing through creation, but finding a boss to invest is very difficult currently." Hong Kong actress Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi), Taiwanese actor Kent Tsai and Thai actor Phiravich Attachitsataporn (Mean) were selected as this year's "Youth Ambassadors". Natalie expressed her gratitude, honor and joy. She believed that youth was an advantage of actors, "Fast absorption, adaptable, and the range of character age could be even greater. More importantly, I can learn from my seniors." She added that at the next stage she hoped to become am even better and more unpredictable actor for the audience. Kent Tsai said that he attended the Asian Film Awards ceremony two years ago, and was the guest presenter at the time. He would be an ambassador this time. With many Hong Kong fans, he said that he sometimes would contact fans online and liked Hong Kong very much. Mean said that he was very excited to come to Hong Kong to participate in the event, and he was very nervous when filming the promotional video with the other two actors. * (2026/03/15) Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa), Michelle Wai Sze Nga, Wong Yau Nam and director Jill Leung Pak Kin went to a shopping center in Tsuen Wan the night before to attend the sharing session for the movie CIAO UFO (JOI GEIN UFO). Wai Sze Nga and Wong Yau Nam suddenly encountered a thrilling attack at the scene. A woman in a pink dress and a wig shouted loudly outside the barricade and threw a bottled drink at the two. Although it did not hit the two actors, it mistakenly hit a reporter. The scene instantly fell into chaos, the staff immediately escorted the actors to the backstage, and the event immediately called the police. Ah Sa avoided the disaster this time due to being late due to a traffic jam. A woman was noisy for more than an hour outside the barricade of the event the night before until Wai Sze Nga and Wong Yau Nam arrived at the scene for an interview with the media. The woman suddenly threw a bottle of drink at them, but continued to curse after accidentally hitting the reporter. The two actors saw what happened and the staff escorted them backstage. Reporters scolded her for her behavior and she finally quieted down. The security also asked the woman to leave the scene. The police later after receiving the call investigated at the scene. Wong Yau Nam and Wai Sze Nga were interviewed after coming out again. Speaking of almost getting hit with a thrown water bottle, Wai Sze Nga said that she was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat. Because she has never encountered anything similar, and in the chaos she heard the woman say something like "shameless, stealing my man". Wai Sze Nga joked, "Did I steal away Dr. Chou (Wai Sze Nga's husband), or did Yau Nam steal her man?" Wong Yau Nam said that after hearing from the staff, the woman has also appeared at another public event recently. His mood would inevitably be slightly affected after this incident. After the event, he also played the "bodyguard" and escorted Ah Sa and Wai Sze Nga as they departed. Ah Sa due to traffic was late and did not run into the woman causing havoc at the scene. She said with a smile that she did not know if she was lucky or not. A fanatic has harassed her more than a year ago. She had to call the police and go to court, and the incident came to an end. The reporter laughed and pointed out that Ah Sa now has her fitness coach boyfriend Elvis Lam Chun Yin (Elvis) to protect her, Ah Sa joked that she was very strong too. Of course, at this age she worked out not to pursue the thinness of the past, but wanting to be healthy and maintain the best condition. Her movie would finally be released after 8 years, Ah Sa stated that she was very happy. The biggest experience was that she felt like she has found myself, and many things felt very beautiful and hopeful. "In life experience sometimes I feel tired, when I get lost I can't find my center of gravity. I will be willing to believe that something good will happen after watching the movie. After 8 years, good things will be seen again at the right time!" Speaking of the scene in which Ah Sa wore wedding dresses in the movie, she said that she has worn it countless times over the years of filming. Now would she consider wearing a Chinese or Western wedding dress? She said, "For me personally I don't really want to have a wedding, unless my other half really wants to then I have to coordinate. Because a wedding is too troublesome. I have heard Wai Sze Nga say that she wanted to give her husband a pleasure at her wedding but it was very hard. I am too much of a perfectionist. I would wan to do the best in every detail, which would be very painful. Just the guest list alone is already quite a headache." She did not shy away from saying that she has also talked about marriage with her boyfriend, and he did not care about this. "The best would be a world of two people, and tell everyone 'it's done' after getting married." Was it already "done"? She laughed repeatedly and said, "Not yet, not yet, not yet! I will definitely tell everyone when I get married." Director Leung Pak Kin talked about his film 8 years ago would officially be released. He once worried the attraction would be discounted, but when he heard the audience praised it as a good movie his confidence has increased. He felt that Heaven has always blessed him, like when two scenes needed rain the shoot would happen to run into rain. He did not need to call for a water truck to make rain. Wong Yau am was very happy for the film to be officially released after 8 years. He was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Award for "Best New Performer" with HOLLYWOOD HONG KONG (HEUNG GONG YAU GOR HOR LEI WOOT) more than 20 years ago. Now he is nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" with CIAO UFO, and he was confident that he would win. Wai Sze Nga was also nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for "Best Supporting Actress" with CIAO UFO. Wong Yau Nam immediately congratulated her and wished her happy events to continue to arrive, and winning awards together would be the best. Wai Sze Nga said that her husband was also happy for her. They went to have a meal to celebrate, and her husband also promised to accompany her to the Hong Kong Film Awards again. This time he even knew to buy a suit and tie on his own, and booked a make up artist and hairstylist. As for the single Wong Yau Nam, he joked that he had to walk the red carpet alone so that he could learn to be "dry". Wai Sze Nga laughed and said that she could let him to put his arm around her husband's, and the three of them could walk together. However the film team should walk on the red carpet together. The reporter asked Wai Sze Nga if she had a nice girl to introduce to Yau Nam? She immediately said, "(Catherine) Chau Ka Yee is the best, she is also a car lover. You can have a meal and make a friend, she is 'hot commodity'!" Wong Yau Nam said with a smile, "I know Chau Ka Yee myself, but I can get to know her all over again!" Wai Sze Nga smiled and said, "Yeah, I matched up a couple just like that!" Wong Yau Nam's Shine teammate Tsui Tin Yau had a part in CIAO UFO but has yet to attend any promotion. He said that he knew Tsui Tin Yau was not in Hong Kong. "He and I have never argued. Our relationship has always been OK. We have spoken once or twice over the phone to catch up, but for promotion I would wait for the staff to contact him." * (2026/03/14) Singaporean diva Stefanie Sun Yanzi came to Hong Kong again after 12 years to perform, and landed at the Kai Tak Stadium for the first time to hold two "Just After Sunset" tour concerts. Last night the series began, Sun Yanzi in a white jacket appeared around 7:40 PM and displayed her diva level presence. Reportedly tickets for the concerts were hard to come by, even Stephen Chow Sing Chi had to try something unique to "rob" tickets as he shot a funny video with Sun Yanzi. Chow Sing Chi pretended to "rob" Sun Yanzi with a pair of pantyhose over his head and a banana in his hand, recreating the classic scene of ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL (GA YAU HEI SI) "This is a stick up, men to the left women to the right against the wall, please", which has aroused heated discussions online. Chow Sing Chi and Sun Yanzi jointly posted a post on social platforms yesterday to reprise the scene of ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL; in the photo Chow Sing Chi was seen with his back to the camera, wearing nude- colored pantyhose over his head, holding a banana as a pistol and pointing at Sun Yanzi's neck; Sun Yanzi cooperated and raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, but she could not hide the smile on her face. Chow Sing Chi humorously wrote in the post, "Stefanie Sun's concert pre- sale was sold out, and the world has forced me to rob concert tickets. Children should not try this at home." In addition to being funny, Chow Sing Chi was more thoughtful in integrating Sun Yanzi's classic golden songs into the message: "In the end I robbed her of 10 tickets. I am not sad, I am too lazy to care about right and wrong. I am very happy." Cleverly connects the titles of Sun Yanzi's songs "I'm Not Sad", "too lazy to care" and "I'm Happy". The post was posted for 9 hours at 9 o'clock last night, attracting more than 70,000 likes. Many people in the circle left comments to interact, and Edmond Tong Chun Yip also left a comment with the song title "The You I miss"; the official account of Universal Music Taiwan also responded humorously: "Yanzi gave Sing Yeh a banana (answer)". * (2026/03/14) The Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Chung Suet Ying starred new film GOOD TRIP (NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG) was selected for the 24th Hong Kong Asian Film Financing Forum (HAF)'s Work In Progress project. The film would be Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting produced, Norris Wong Yi Lam and Wong Hoi co-directed, and receive a grant of HK$ 9 million from the Hong Kong Film Development Council's "Directors' Succession Scheme". The film is currently in post-production. Wong Hoi said, "Although the total production cost of our previous films MY PRINCE EDWARD (GUM DOH) and THE LYRICIST WANNABE (TIN CHI L) didn't reach HK$ 9 million, as a filmmaker, of course we want to be perfect. By participating in HAF this time, I hope to receive more support from the funding and listen to the opinions of different industry players." GOOD TRIP has been in preparation for 5 years, during which it has gone through the pandemic and the passing of one of the producers Alex Law Kai Yui; the year before last, THE LYRICIST WANNABE and PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) were selected for the Udine Far East Film Festival in Italy and accidentally led to Cheung Ka Fai playing the role of a father with cancer and a father-daughter relationship with Chung Suet Ying. Wong Hoi recalled, "Unexpectedly, when we met for the first time, Ka Fai had already expressed that he liked the script very much. He even shared many opinions and short stories with his daughter. Ka Fai mentioned that he and his daughter once traveled to Japan, ate ramen together, sightsaw and played all over, all of which were very sweet memories for him." Wong Yi Lam revealed that the script has incorporated the story of Cheung Ka Fai and his daughter. "Ka Fai makes it sound extremely romantic, I remember the most in the Japanese travel video, they saw many people in line so they planned to leave together. This type of father and daughter 'sneaking away' feels quite interesting." Wong Hoi said, "After Ka Fai finished talking about this good memory, he then said that his daughter has grown up. Now if he wants to touch her head or arm, she would be pushed away immediately." Because he appreciated the script and knew that the budget was limited, Cheung Ka Fai was willing to reduce his salary to take over the filming. Wong Yi Lam said, "Sister Chung (Cheung Ka Fai's manager Claudie Chung Chun) said that knowing that we are very poor, many 'poor movies' would be produced in her company so we can also collaborate with her." Wong Hoi said, "Last time Chung Suet Ying only received a very low salary, this time we will give a reasonable pay to respect her as a professional actress. She really deserves more." * (2026/03/13) Film industry newcomer Elizabeth Tang To with her first starring film GIRLFRIENDS (NUI HAI BUT PING FAN) has been nominated for the 44th Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actress and Best New Performer. Receiving the industry's recognition, she felt very encouraged. Macau director Tracy Choi Yan Sin in order to help Tang To and Taiwan actress Han Ning get into passion and bed scenes hired Taiwan's "intimacy director", and joked that co-stars and Best Actresses Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Fish Liew Chi Yu complained out of jealousy. Tang To said that after receiving directing, her three intimate scenes with Han Ning set off sparks and were like fish in the water. Choi Yan Sin admitted that GIRLFRIENDS involved LGBT subject, investors worried about box office so she ran into difficulties with raising financing early on, fortunately in the end the production was able to start successfully. SISTERHOOD (GWUT MUI)'s director Choi Yan Sin in a semi-autobiographical manner shot GIRLFRIENDS to tell the extraordinary journey of an ordinary's exploration of love and growing, inviting Liew Chi Yu, Yu Heung Ying, Tang To, Han Ning, Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi) and Eliz Liao to star and shooting on location in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao. Tang To last year with GIRLFRIENDS was nominated for the 62nd Golden Horse Awards Best Supporting Actress in Taiwan, this year she has been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actress and Best New Performer. She said that she was very encouraged to receive recognition for her first starring feature from the industry. "Last time with the Golden Horse Award nomination, I spent one week's tie to digest that happy feeling. I happened to run into work in Thailand at the time and rewarded myself with a mango sticky rice. This time with the Hong Kong Film Award nomination has been different again, Hong Kong is the place I grew up in so it has another meaning. When the nomination was announced, it happened to be the Lunar New Year so I rewarded myself with several pans more of turnip cake and New Year rice cake." Tang To rated her own performance as still lacking and having room for improvement, she did not dare to talk about her chances of winning. She felt that she was already very lucky to have a film contract, just like winning the gigantic top prize of the New Year Snowball lottery. She thanked Choi Yan Sin for giving her the opportunity, saying if she would win she would take the director to dinner to repay her. Aside from Tang To, the creator of the GIRLFRIENDS theme song ORDINARY PEOPLE Panther Chan Lui has also been nominated for Best Original Film Song. Choi Yan Sin was happy for Chan Lui and praised her for being talented. "She was also on the SISTERHOOD team. Last time she has already helped with writing the theme song. This time I invited her to collaborate again, she very quickly agreed and even took care of the music and the lyrics. The lyrics closely followed the story and the style of the song was compatible to the end of the film. I hope to be able to work with her long term." Choi Yan Sin revealed that during the novel coronavirus pandemic, she examined her creative direction and suddenly thought of making a story related to her own growing up. GIRLFRIENDS' original draft screenplay wrote about her feeling for different cities and conditions at different ages. "I chronicled being 17 in Macau where I was born and raised, observed by all the neighbors and the feeling of not being able to be myself. At 22 I went to study in Taipei, I was very free but felt lost. At 34 I came to Hong Kong and faced the distress and pressure at work and relationships. As screenwriters, producer and actors joined in, the plot combined different elements and not just starting from my own experience and feeling alone." The film involved the LGBT subject. She admitted that she ran into difficulties with raising financing early on. "Investors may not feel the box office would be very ideal, thus they hesitated and cautiously considered. Luckily in the end I found financing from several places." Choi Yan Sin asked 3 actors to play different stages of the "girl" Ah Yan in the film. "I hope everyone would be able to relate to the story because of the girls with different faces. I believe everyone has some of the experiences while growing p." To Tang played the 22 year old Ah Yan, and Choi Yan Sin praised her for a convincing and very charming performance. She revealed hat at first she was drawn to To Tang's crew cut photo on social platform, so she asked her and Han Ning to audition together. She thought that they were both very suitable and confirmed them to play an intimate couple, but before the shoot began they had some concerns. "They didn't know each other well, and both warm up slowly. To get into the roles in a short time and challenge passion and bed scenes, everyone were a little worried. So I decided to use the professional 'intimacy director' who is popular in Taiwan for intimate scenes to help them, and discover the result was tremendous." She revealed that Liew Chi Yu and Yu Heung Ying complained that she was playing favorites and asked why they did not receive any instruction from the "intimacy director". "I have listened to them. Last time when we made SISTERHOOD (GWUT MUI) knew they wanted to play a couple, so this time I matched them up. Liew Chi Yu and Yu Heung Ying have known each other for man years, and their performance already has chemistry." Tang To praises her co-star Han Ning for her easy going performance and being a good partner. The "intimacy director" also helped her and Han Ning create sparks. "At first when I got this role I felt it was very demanding, luckily the costume helped me get into the role. The first encounter with the 'intimacy director' taught me and Han Ning to establish trust of touching each other, from which I benefitted a lot. For the three intimate scenes in the film, before rehearsal we have already communicate how to perform them. Like remembering the marks in action scenes, we were able to be like fish in the water during the shoot. When we shot the first and the third intimate scene, we respectively express passion and the love hate relationship. It was very unforgettable." * (2026/03/13) Sonija Kwok Sin Nei and Jimmy Au Sui Wai attended the smoking cessation event as guests yesterday.

She said that she would only eat 50% full on weekdays, but she was not afraid to eat the lunch box when she was at work. "I will drop the weight in advance before filming starts. Work takes energy and physical strength, so I am not afraid of eating the lunch box at work." She also praised the work lunch box has become more and more delicious. Earlier when she worked on the film version BACK TO THE PAST, the team provided catering and arranged for a chef to cook "home cooked meal" on the set, among which she liked meat cake, steamed fish and good soup the most. Normally at home she had the maid would cook, she would only cook during the holidays and when the mood struck her. Au Sui Wai also praised the delicious lunch box at work, but he would focus on less rice. "When filming dramas I often have to jump on trampolines and hang on wires. If I don't stay fit I would just give myself a rough time." Speaking of earlier when he was filming the situation drama "LO AND BEHOLD" earlier, there was a scene in which he carried 6 actresses like Koni Lui Wai Yee and Fan Yik Man in a row and was praised online for his amazing arm strength at his age.

Which female co-star was the heaviest? He kept his mouth shut and refused to disclose it, only saying that he was the heaviest; but he could reveal the lightest one was Kristy Shaw. Earlier Kwok Sin Nei and Harry Ng Chung Hang played Gareth T.'s NO FULL FRONTAL and Louis Koo Tin Lok's DESTINY REIGNS SUPREME on the piano with four hands, which became a hot topic.

Among the many roles, in addition to the popularity of the leads "Brother Foon" (Dayo Wong Tze Wah) and "Sister V" (Sammi Cheng Sau Man), "Kwai Fong" Kay Choi Wai Kay was very prominent and named the MVP actor of NIGHT KING. Kay recently shared how she felt about becoming an overnight sensation. When asked about becoming the first MVP of the Hong Kong entertainment industry in 2026, Ah Kay expressed surprise. "I just want to say Happy New Year hahaha! Happy New Year! The only feeling I have from making everyone even more popular, just like what the movie says: it's hard to describe! Actually it could be said to be a milestone in my personal acting career. In terms of career, at my age this year, it should be just the age when a person's career needs to start, so it has been a great support for me." Regarding the director's admission in an interview that she was dug up in a pile of abandoned resumes, Ah Kay also knew about this. "Because the assistant director said that those people were 'kam', so as soon as the director heard the word 'kam', his eyes lit up! Then he laughed when he saw the audition video! When designing the role of "Kwai Fong", I came up with the idea of using (Cally) Kwong Mei Wan and Lin Minchen to create a combination. This was a way to let myself enjoy the process during the audition, and when I couldn't achieve cute and cuddly, I would use another method to devote myself to it! Find a mask to put on and slowly develop it into a character, and finally it become 'Kwai Fong'!" Speaking of a hilarious scene in the movie when "Kwai Fong" shaved and painted her eyebrows before appearing, Ah Kay laughed and said that it was improvised. "Actually I came up with this on the spot! Because at that time the Fish (Liew Chi Yu) played Mimi Ma was actually teaching me to draw eyebrows and at the same time I was shaving, so I held an eyebrow pencil in one hand and a razor in the other! Then Alan Yeung Wai Lun asked what I wanted. That's how this dialogue came about!" Speaking of future developments, Ah Kay was ready and said with a smile, "Hey! I am a freelance actor, I am not affiliated with any theater company or company, I would go to all 18 districts amd not just stay in Kwai Fong. Any theater company, any movie, if you have a job, look for me! Singing is a bit of a struggle, but musicals can also be considered, hahaha!" Renci Yeung Sze Wing and "Kwai Fong" Choi Wai Kay transformed into sexy hostesses from the movie NIGHT KING to shoot a fast food chain advertisement and were ordered to pig out. Renci said, "When filming NIGHT KING I have to wear a tight-fitting dress so I don't dare to eat too much. This time for the commercial I can eat while I shoot, I don't need to worry about hunger. It absolutely is an all new experience." Choi Wai Kay considers herself a "carnivorous girl" and said with a smile: "The role of 'Kwai Fong' is definitely 'curry chop rice', because she is omnivorous enough and never picks customers, haha!" The two hoped to shoot another commercial, and Choi Wai Kay even thought of chopping char siu in the barbecue department. * (2026/03/12) Louis Cheung Kai Chung and his wife Kay Tse On Kay appeared together the night before. Ah Chung happily said that he has worked with many screenwriters at the scene and could take the opportunity to reminisce. Kay joked that she was not familiar with the screenwriters, so she wandered around to let everyone see her. They could think of her when they would write the script in the future and write a suitable role for her. "Actually, I enjoy being a mother. Because not many actors on the market are suitable to be mothers age wise, I hope to forge a bloody path!" Would Ah Chung like to work with his wife? He joked that they could play mother and son in the subject of time travel. In addition, some people said that Ah Chung wanted to accompany his children to study abroad, would he was consider immigration? He said it was a misunderstanding, and revealed that after his elder son went to Australia to study they communicated more than before. Speaking of MIDLIFE SING AND SHINE singers Ramon Lo (Law Kai Ho) and Tam Fai Chi successfully landing on the Hong Kong Coliseum a few years after their debut, but Kay, who has won the "Best Female Singer" several times, was not approved for the booking; many online felt bad for her. Kay said that successfully applying for a venue involved many factors, and she did not want to make wild speculations. "Many factors lead to singers or companies to be able to get certain dates. I haven't been upset or really longing for it, leave it to destiny. Hong Kong has many other different venues too." Cheung Kai Chung said that every singer has his or her own support, so they should be treated a little fairer. Law Kai Ho and Tam Fai Chi have the support of many fans after years of hard work, and he was happy for them. "I too want to perform on a Hong Kong Coliseum show. I have seen elder Wu Fung able to after the age of 90, so I am in no hurry." * (2026/03/12) The "Hong Kong Screenwriters' Guild Spring Dinner and Awards Ceremony" was held the night before, Zhang Ziyi, Michael Hui Koon Man, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Fala Chen, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Shiga Lin Sze Nga, Michelle Wai Sze Nga, etc. appeared to show their support and the event was star-studded. Zhang Ziyi revealed that she wanted to make a romantic movie with "Jar Jar Fai" Cheung Ka Fai. She also promised the screenwriters that if they had a good script but lacked funds, they might as well come to her. A total of three awards were awarded this year, with screenwriter Jeffrey Lau Chun Wai winning the 2025 Honorary Award; Kong Ho Yan and Amy Chin Siu Wai's CIAO UFO (JOI GEIN UFO) and Shu Qi's GIRL (NUI HAI) both won the Recommended Screenplay of the Year Award; Zhang Ziyi won the Best Movie Character of the Year Award for her role in SHE'S GOT NO NAME's Zhan Zhou, and she even made a special trip to Hong Kong to receive the award. Ziyi was interviewed with a trophy in her hand, bluntly saying that she has not been to Hong Kong for a long time and she won the award as soon as she came. She felt that Hong Kong was a treasure land. She did not expect that with only half the film released she was able to win the award, and thanked the Guild for its recognition of the role. Speaking of whether the second half would be released this year, she smiled and said that she would ask the always very demanding director Peter Chan Ho Sun. Would she be confident that she will win the Hong Kong Film Awards for "Best Actress" next? She said, "I really haven't thought much about it, today is already a surprise and several of the actors are also very good; I like it very much." She revealed that she has just chatted with Cheung Ka Fai and mentioned that she wanted to make a film together. "I really want to make a romantic movie with him, it would be quite interesting." Would she be able to understand Ka Fai's Putonghua? She joked: "Jar Jar Fai! I understand!" She said that she has seen a video of Cheung Ka Fai speaking Putonghua, and felt that it was funny and cute. Regarding her promise to the screenwriters when she received the award, if they have a good script but lack funds they might as well come to her, Ziyi emphasized that she would not be the boss. She only felt that good stories and good projects needed to be supported, especially when the film industry has been facing some difficulties. The Ziyi directed and starred film has been rumored to start production in May. She said that she would make another movie in April first, and the reported news was not accurate. There is currently no casting, but she would not ruled out that mainland and Hong Kong actors will be used. She would also participate in the casting, hoping to help the movie. Zhang Ziyi's family went to Sanya for vacation in the New Year. Her daughter was praised as the strongest "second generation star", and also inherited her mother's beauty. Ziyi smiled and said, "Yes, she is much better looking than when she was born. Girls change when they grow up, just like I did back then." She revealed that her daughter once asked if she could be an actor and she would let it be, unfortunately there was no suitable role in the new film. She pointed out that her daughter has inherited her acting talent, but did not like singing and dancing. Instead she likes parkour and other high-intensity activities. She smiled and revealed that her daughter loves to chase stars, her favorite is Song Yuqi of the Korean girl group (G)I-DLE. "She likes everything Song Yuqi likes, and she also wants the bags that Song Yuqi likes." Ziyi was slightly jealous and said that her daughter didn't care much about her, and she had only seen the fight scenes with Jackie Chan. Ziyi said that after watching SHE'S GOT NO NAME, her daughter felt that her mother had a very hard time. She felt sorry for her mother being beaten very hard, which moved her very much. Ziyi said that she would accompany her daughter to chase stars, revealing that she would take her daughter to see (G)I-DLE's Hong Kong concert and that she would attend the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony in the middle of next month. However she has not yet chosen what to wear. Now she does not care much about being pretty, only asks to be graceful. Ziyi said that she also hoped to make Hong Kong films in the future, but speaking Cantonese is quite difficult. She even tried to say on the spot: "I understand but I can't speak?" Cheung Ka Fai and Fala Chen reunited since promoting the movie PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) last year, and Fala was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Award for "Best Actress" for the first time. Ka Fai joked, "Of course she would win Best Actress, in this world I support her the most. Actually her performance is great and worth supporting." Fala however was not confident in winning the award, saying that she was surprised to be nominated and was determined to participate. Would she attend the Hong Kong Film Awards with her husband? She said that her husband would take care of her daughter, so when she came to Spring dinner the night before and the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony on April 19th, she would go back and forth from abroad on the same day. Ka Fai was also nominated for "Best Original Film Song" for the theme song "Eternal Insomnia" of PEG O' MY HEART. Fala laughed and said that she has already voted for him so he must win the award "for sure", but Ka Fai said that he could not attend due to work and would not be in Hong Kong, and joked that if he won the award, Fala would sing on stage on his behalf. Producer Teddy Chan Tak Sum revealed that the movie that would raise fund for the Hong Kong Stuntmen Association, "1941", would star Cheung Ka Fai, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) and Charmaine Sheh Sze Man. Ka Fai said that he has agreed to perform for the time being, "I want to support Hong Kong films, support director Chin Ka Lok, support the Stuntmen Association that grew up with me. Many action directors have taught me, so that I can still fight today. (Donnie) Yen Chi Tan right now just caught up with me a little. I want to perform for everyone to see." He said he has read the script, but the details of the characters were not clear. Earlier he went to perform in Singapore and his wife tagged along. He joked that his wife went back to meet the elders, and he chose to sing Jacky Cheung Hok Yau's golden song "Kiss Goodbye" but did not sing his own song. Ka Fai said with a smile, "Cheung Hok Yau's songs are my songs, and I will always have the opportunity to sing my own songs in the future." Recently Stephen Fung Tak Lun and Koo Tin Lok have come back to the music scene and released new songs, Ka Fai said that he did not have much ambition, and joked that he would sing in the toilet every other week. He also dragged Fala in with him for a duet. Fala awkwardly refused, joking that releasing a record was a "stain on life" and had post-traumatic disorder. Ka Fai joked, "Why? If you sing a few times, you will be cured." Ka Fai also revealed that when he showed off his muscles for the movie NIGHTFALL (DAI JUI BO), everyone thought that he worked out for the film but he actually did it for Fung Tak Lun. "Back then Fung Tak Lun was making a movie and asked me to play the magician. I had to unlock a lock in the water then drifted back out again. I also had to take off my clothes! So I went to work out! Who knew that during training he told me the production won't happen. Then I kept training for NIGHTFALL!" People online have been looking forward to Ka Fai making a comedy again, why not work with Fala again in a comedy? Ka Fai praised Fala for her high potential and looked forward to working together again, but for now he did not dare to be a director, for fear of having too many responsibilities and taking care of too much. Would he make a Lunar New Year movie? He joked, "Lunar New Year horror? Okay, but I have to be very confident to dare to make it, and I'm afraid that the script would take too long and won't keep up with the times." * (2026/03/12) Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Fish Liew Chi Yu and others of the Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) team appeared at the "Hong Kong Screenwriters' Guild Spring Tea Dinner and Awards Ceremony 2026" the night before. Regarding the cumulative box office of the film in Hong Kong and Macau exceeding HK$ 90 million, Tze Wah has been expected to create a legend and dominate the top three of Hong Kong film box office in Hong Kong film history; Tze Wah boldly said that if that would come true, he would be a guest at Sammi's concert and celebrate with a lively song and dance. Tze Wah and Sammi said that they were very happy that NIGHT KING has achieved good results and exchanged pleasantries to each other, saying that it was the other's credit. Tze Wah even pointed out that he has calculated for Sammi, who has spent more days promoting the movie than on making it; Sammi also said that she really did her best. Speaking of some Legislative Council member advocating the revitalization of the night market in Tsim Sha Tsui East with the "Night King Era" as the subject, they both expressed their approval. They thought that Hong Kong has been too quiet at night now. If they would have Dai Pai Dong it would be even better, because finding a place for everyone to to chat at night has been nonexistent; citizens could also do a little business. Speaking of Tze Wah being expected to win the top three highest- grossing Hong Kong films with THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK), A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG) and NIGHT KING, Tze Wah said that the credit belonged to the entire film team. If it would really happen of course it would be a happy event, and worth having a meal to celebrate. He also had to rush to make it happen before Sammi's Kai Tak concert in July, so she could have a proper feast. NIGHT KING would also have to book a private room to watch the show. Sammi laughed and pointed out that the concert has not yet been officially announced, but Tze Wah has been more anxious than her. Would Tze Wah be a guest performer? He said proudly, "This is really hard to refuse, and I can't say a few words on stage. I actually have to sing and dance with Sammi; I also am expecting to see the bonesetter, because Sammi's choreography is crazy and deadly and one out of the four limb will be lost, haha." Sammi immediately said: "Hey, it's you who say yes, I am excited just from thinking about it." Many concerts and concerts have low attendance rates recently, but would Sammi not have to worry about this? Tze Wah said that he had confidence in Sammi's appeal; Sammi instead asked Tze Wah if he would worry about box office. Actually everyone was in the same mood. She said, "It's not that I'm not scared, but I don't overestimate myself every time I perform a concert. The important thing is to be yourself and do your best." Speaking of whether she would have a chance to break the Kai Tak Stadium show record, she admitted that she probably would not have too many shows. After all, she is old and her style is to do the best in every performance. However she is very happy that the movie results are like passing a hurdle, so that she can work on the concert with peace of mind. She would still continue to do her best to thank the audience. Tze Wah said that he would discuss with the new screenwriter to continue making movies. Also on hand, Wong Dan Nei and Liew Chi Yu said that they were very happy that the box office performance has been rising. They said that they would work hard to continue to promote, because the whole team has been very enthusiastic and attentive to thank the audience and has planned to try new ideas in future publicity. They have had a close relationship. Recently Liew Chi Yu had another new film release, Wong Dan Nei said that on the day of the premiere, she could not support the show because she was not in Hong Kong; but she would definitely buy tickets to support her after that. She enjoyed the process of entering the theater to watch the movie. Regarding Liew Chi Yu's many intimate scenes between women in the new film GIRLFRIENDS (NUI HAI BUT PING FAN), would Wong Dan Nei be able to accept acting in similar subjects? She bluntly stated that as an actress she would not limit her possibilities, as long as the director feels that she is suitable for the role she will be happy to challenge. She also took the new film AGAINST ALL ODDS (YING GAU FEI FU) as an example, when the director wanted her with long hair to get a crew cut, she agreed, "He was so sudden, he only said, 'let's go now!' on the day of the crew cut. I was a little scared, but I was very glad to have a very different image for the audience. Earlier I got a crew cut for the shoot, my husband (Sheldon Lo) likes my long hair. When I have time I would wear a wig for his benefit." Liew Chi Yu said that she would cross dress for a movie to please herself, and would not deliberately do so for her boyfriend Lo Chun Yip. She joked, "I am not benefiting him!" [ In Production Now/Soon ] FINE DYING Can : But Dut But Ho Sei d.

As the journey unfolds, desire and identity blur, echoing Philip Yung's portrait of a city continually redefining its sense of belonging. Cyclone is a curious title, alluding to one of modern martial-arts literature and cinema's most tragic heroines: Mei Chaofeng, often translated as Cyclone Mei. Like her literary counterpart, Cyclone is a wanderer, travelling from the People's Republic of China to Hong Kong in search of gender-affirming surgery. Yet the longer the journey takes, the less certain she becomes of her desire. The identity in question and the passage undertaken reach beyond the individual. Yung is also thinking of Hong Kong, a place whose identity is constantly questioned and that keeps searching for a sense of its own belonging. Although internationally known for multilayered crime films such as Where the Wind Blows (2022), Philip Yung has long been drawn to more intimate stories. Cyclone feels like a place where everything he cares about has found a home. The narrative is both sprawling and concentrated, profoundly personal yet resonant with the experience of a people. It moves across temporal, regional and cultural barriers with clarity and grace, all the while maintaining an effortless visual beauty. – Vanja Kaludjercic AT THE BENCH d.

Opening October 5 2025 at the Vancouver International Film Festival Opening at October 23rd at the 22nd Hong Kong Asian Film Festival (10.22-11.09) Opening January 15 2026 [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] In the often overlooked, aging neighborhoods of Scarborough, Ontario, four Hong Kong immigrants who arrived in the 1990s quietly unravel in middle age. Once a rising star in Hong Kong, a devoted carer for her elderly mother, a single mother struggling to make ends meet, and a widower yearning for connection – they each clutch fading fragments of dignity, community, and hope in a place as worn and forgotten as they are. The film portrays these fragile souls reaching out for connection – and discovering how far loneliness can stretch. Growing up within this immigrant community, the director witnessed firsthand the resilience of immigrants, creating a poignant meditation on displacement, aging, and the delicate threads that bind us all. Vancouver International Film Festival [ VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2025 ] Timothy Yeung's film is a story of big losses, small triumphs, and moments of grace amid the grind of capitalism — in other words, life itself. Four Hong Kong immigrants are living lives of desperation in Scarborough, Ontario: Dan was a pop singer on the rise before his move to Canada, now he's barely scraping by; Eva is a lonely woman whose commitment to her aging mother has held her back in life; Fan is a part-time sex worker struggling to break into real estate; Tony is an aging widower whose factory job is at risk. Through these characters, Yeung explores diasporic alienation, economic hardship, and social isolation. His film is rich in cultural specificity, but that never obstructs his wider view. Building outwards from private hopes and personal pain, he creates a rich social document that cradles within it four precious human portraits. Tam, Yeung, Lee, and Wong are superb — their performances ring with commitment and authenticity. REVISIT Can : Hung Won Gok d.

Some still burn with righteous fire, while others are disillusioned or have been bought off by the system.

In what feels like a 21st century update of classical silent film adventures, Yuen's dialogue-free endeavour follows three insects, who attempt to flee the big city after they are forcibly removed from their natural habitat. Turning little things like an overflowing pot and a cage full of birds into life-or-death gauntlets for the micro-heroes, this thrilling and surprisingly harrowing adventure will make you reassess the value of life in all sizes.

They must put their differences aside, and face new challenges together. [ 50TH HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] In bowling, there is nothing more daunting than the 7-10 split, which leaves two side pins in a position that is almost impossible to knock down. In this stirring sports film, the infamous split serves as a metaphor for not only a long-standing rivalry between two retired female bowlers, but also rare second chances to correct past mistakes. Produced by the team behind sleeper hit Love Lies (48th), this directorial debut shows us that bowling involves far more than just hitting wooden pins with a ball – it requires precise timing, immense strength, and grace under pressure.

Named after Cyclone Mei, the unfairly maligned tragic figure in Louis Cha's martial arts novels, Cyclone works as a sex worker in Hong Kong to save up for gender-affirming surgery. But the more her identity is denied by the world and those around her, the more her desires begin to diminish. Raw and engrossing, this is Yung's most intimate directorial effort yet.

ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM THE MOVIE: EVERYONE'S TIME d. Masaki Kitamura Japanese Animation Opening March 26 2026 in Japan Opening April 23 2026 [ EMPEROR CINEMAS ] It was one day in late February, with the entrance exams over and graduation just around the corner. Amid the government's increasingly strict surveillance, the students of Class 3-E looked back on their year with Korosensei. Memories resurfaced — the fading doodles they drew on Professor Bitch, the special swimming lessons, the clashes with the students of Class A, and Valentine's chocolates. The classroom bustled with nostalgic conversations. Meanwhile, during winter break, Korosensei was targeted by a group of four assassins, but as always, he easily dodged their attacks. Later, when he visited the izakaya they frequented to tease them, he ended up saving the blind owner, Azusa, who was burdened with debt, and her daughter Hotaru, from a certain incident. Through this encounter, Korosensei once again strengthened his resolve: to accept his fate, yet fulfill his duty as a teacher with all his might until the very end. Another day began as usual. The students of Class 3-E continued their attempts to assassinate Korosensei before the school year ended, while Korosensei, with a smile, deflected their attacks and praised their growth. And in the ending, the "graduation album" —Korosensei's final task— reveals a glimpse of their future, leading into the series finale. HODONAKU, OWAKARE DESU d.

Their ancestors lived among other clans on the surface long ago, but after wandering the earth in search of a land of peace and stability, they were blessed by the Water Dragon with a kingdom free of conflict. However, that peace would not last forever. Yura, the priestess who prays to the long-dormant Water Dragon, learns that someone is plotting to invade the surface in order to wake the Water Dragon, so she takes the flute that has been passed down in her clan for generations and heads for the surface to seek aid. When she arrives, she finds herself on a resort island in the domain of Elmesia, empress of the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion, and she meets Rimuru and his compatriots, who are enjoying a brief vacation after concluding their Nation's Opening Festival. Rimuru's gang accepts Elmesia's request to accompany Yura to Kaien so they can help, but a conspiracy is already brewing under the sea...
