MISCELLANEOUS * (2026/04/15) Tony Leung Chiu Wai and his wife Carina Lau Ka Ling went to Taiwan to promote the movie SILENT FRIENDS, and attended the master class and post-screening discussion at the Golden Horse Fantastic Film Festival the night before, attracting many Taiwanese stars to make pilgrimages. They included Gwei Lun-mei, Cheryl Yang Jinhua, Sandrina Pinna (Cheung Yung Yung) and Ko Chia-yen. He shared "one day of Leung Chiu Wai", revealing that while not at work he would exercise, watch movies, go for drives. The new film used a centuries-old ginkgo tree as the core image, and Leung Chiu Wai used evening tuberose as a metaphor for himself: ordinary during the day and only emitted fragrance at night. He also said that he has never resisted the nude scene in the film, thinking that it is part of the role. Leung Chiu Wai and his wife Lau Ka Ling arrived in Taiwan the day before yesterday, and he attended the master class and post- screening discussion at the Golden Horse Fantastic Film Festival in the evening. Yesterday he attended the press conference of SILENT FRIENDS with Hungarian female director Ildiko Enyedi. The master class the night before attracted many Taiwanese artists such as Guei Lun-mei, Cheryl Yang, Sandrine Pinna, Ko Chia-yen and Tseng Jing-hua. Thousands of film professionals signed up, in the end only 300 lucky people obtained the "class qualification" as they wished. Three time Golden Horse Best Actor Leung Chiu Wai went to Taiwan the day before yesterday to give a lecture, and two time Golden Horse "Best Supporting Actor" Liu Kuan-ting interviewed him to share his experience in filming for more than 40 years. Wai Jai talked about his views on acting, believing that the focus of performance is whether you are in the state or not. If you are relaxed and focused during acting, the performance can enter the condition. He also provided some methods that could help with entering the character, such as designing something small, the character's mental state, condition, and background setting, any method would do. He talked about his performance that was praised for his "eyes can act", and said that he did not deliberately do it, but felt that his eyes reflected his inner thoughts. Leung Chiu Wai shared "One Day of Leung Chiu Wai", revealing that if he was not at work, he would usually exercise as soon as he gets up, have lunch, and then go out for a drive; if there is a good movie, he would watch a movie, eat salad and soba noodles in the evening, and watch a good TV series or a good book after dinner. He said that he started exercising because he felt that actors need a lot of energy. "If I am not in good enough shape, when I run into emotional scenes that would need to be shot multiple times I really would want to die." As a Best Actor Leung Chiu Wai admitted that he had encountered overweight emotional scenes and a director kept yelling cut like mad, "That director later asked me to make a film and I refused. I wouldn't mention which director. In short, it requires a lot of physical fitness. When I started exercising, I have already reached the state I should be." Referring to his experience of working with different directors, Leung Chiu Wai said that he often met and chatted with Wong Kar Wai before collaborating, because without a script he needed to trust the director and know what the director needed. "Although I don't know what Wong Kar Wai wants." He said that when he made DAYS OF BEING WILD (AH FEI JING JUEN), the scene in which he and Maggie Cheung Yuk Man ate pears took thirty or forty takes and Wong Kar Wai did not say why. When he got home he was very unhappy, thinking why he was still unable to achieve such a simple shot. It was not until he collaborated with director Hou Hsiao-hsien on CITY OF SADNESS that he was inspired to begin reading literary novels, which helped his performance by describing scenes and reactions in a rich, detailed and specific way, and began to change his acting style. "Until one day, I went to see my own shot in DAYS OF BEING WILD and I knew what my condition was. Wong Kar Wai wanted me to have no trace of acting." He starred in the Jeff Lau Chun Wai directed comedy film EAGLE SHOOTING HEROES. Leung Chiu Wai said that he was very relaxed because he was working with a familiar team. Lau Chun Wai would demonstrate for him, he joked, "His performance is funnier than mine." Leung Chiu Wai revealed that SILENT FRIENDS director Ildiko Enyedi sent him several books on neuroscience, plants, and philosophy. He not only read a lot of books, but also convinced himself that he was a neuroscientist. His friends even jokingly asked him, "Since you are studying so seriously, are you going for the doctorate degree?" He praised Ildiko Enyedi for being very good at guiding the actors. He was not nervous at all when working with her. He did not resist the nude performance in the film either, because it was part of the character's experimentation. The film centered itself around a centuries-old ginkgo tree. Using trees as a metaphor for herself, the director chose a birch tree while Leung laughed and said that he was like an evening tuberose (which was also another term for manure): ordinary during the day and only emitted fragrance at night. "Just like I am an ordinary person when I leave work, I only shine when I work." He felt that he had no special pursuit at this stage, "I just want to enjoy every creation, this time the preparation time is longer. It was like facing a table of good dishes, slowly tasting each dish." In the film industry for more than 40 years, Leung Chiu Wai would now leave his comfort zone and choose to work with other unfamiliar teams and all new creative environment. He wanted to make himself "unaccustomed to it", "Because only when you are not used to it, would there be new things. Now is the final stage of my performance. There is nothing to be afraid of, so I would try a little more new things." In an interview with the media, Leung Chiu Wai confirmed the legend of buying 6 seats at a cinema. He explained, "I was afraid that the people next to me wouldn't watch the movie and would only watch me." During this trip to Taiwan, Leung Chiu Wai met some fans who have followed him for decades and felt that they have not changed. Some fans mentioned that the last time they saw him was 20 years ago. Leung Chiu Wai said, "Thank you for their continued support to me, and I hope that I won't take so long before seeing them again in the future." Wai Jai's first European film SILENT FRIEND would open today in South Korea. He visited South Korea again from the 2nd to the 4th of this month, and was interviewed by a Korean magazine during his stay in South Korea with Korean actor Lee Jung-jae as the host. Wai Jai reiterated that he has filmed the popular Korean girl group NewJeans' song "Cool With You" music video without pay in the past. "When I was filming the music video, I actually didn't get paid. I thought of it as giving a small gift to Korean fans at that time." Lee Jung-jae also revealed that the music video director showed off to others, "He showed off to people everywhere, saying that he was so honored and very excited to be able to shoot with actor Tony Leung." * (2026/04/15) The 44th Hong Kong Film Awards will be held at the Tsim Sha Tsui Cultural Centre on Sunday (April 19th), and the awards will be unveiled. The competition for this year's "Best Supporting Actress" is fierce, with a 30 year veteran in the business Joyce Tang Lai Ming and a rising star Elizabeth Tang To against the winner of countless awards Nina Paw Hee Ching. Facing the Best Actress-level opponent, Tang Lai Ming would face normally whether she will win the award or not, and felt that being nominated was already a recognition, and she has unlocked her acting career achievement! Entering the industry after participating in New Talent, Tang Lai Ming (Ah Tung) has participated in many classic dramas after moving to the TV industry. They included ARMED REACTION, A KINDRED SPIRIT, COME HOME LOVE: LO AND BEHOLD, and A STEP INTO THE PAST. On the big day of "entering five (turning fifty)" this year, she was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for "Best Supporting Actress" for the movie version of BACK TO THE PAST. The good news was a great surprise for her! Actually Ah Tung has long been associated with the film industry, at the beginning of her career she has worked on THOSE WERE THE DAYS (SEI GOR 32A WOR YUT GOR HEUNG JIU SIU NIN) and LOST AND FOUND (TIN NGAI HOI GOK), but after many years she returned to the film industry to participate in BACK TO THE PAST 6 years ago. For the film awards ceremony this time, Ah Tung bluntly said that she felt quite special and felt that the timing was just right. "It is unexpected that I can step onto the big screen 30 years later. Thank you very much Boss Koo (Koo Tin Lok). Without him, the TV version would not become a movie version. He is even able to summon so many people to shoot, which feels a bit like a dream." In the industry for 60 years, Paw Hee Ching this time leveled down to play support with SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT. Ah Tung would competed for the award normally. "The opponents are so strong, in terms of my acting career I have already unlocked an achievement. The nomination is a recognition and I feel so honored, just like back then when my New Talent opponent was (Eason) Chan Yik Shun!" When asked if she was confident of winning the award, Ah Tung said frankly, "Of course, I want to take an award to thank Boss Koo and bring good memories to everyone. This time every one of us actors firmly stuck to our posts, I haven't seen such enthusiasm in a long time. Actually when compared with individual awards, I want to win 'Best Film' more." Would she invite her husband, who rarely appeared, to accompany her and participate in the event? She laughed and said, "I have invited him, but he has already rejected me and said he would support me at home!" He also revealed that she would wear something tailor-made for her. "It must not be sexy, keep the 'Sin Yau' (BACK film character) mode. This is also my mode, haha!" As for Paw Hee Ching who is currently filming the movie WING BUT HEI YIN (NEVER GIVE UP) in Malaysia, conceivably she would have to fight until the last moment before she could return to Hong Kong to participate in the event. She won the Hong Kong Film Award in 2009 for her starring role in THE WAY WE ARE (TIN SHUI WAI DIK YUT YU YEH), has competed for "Best Supporting Actress" 6 times with many films over the years, but unfortunately all of them failed. This time she returned with a breakthrough performance in SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT as a mysterious gun upgrade expert, completely turning around her past "official mother" image. In addition while working with gods like Louis Koo Tin Lok and Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo), she was fully present with foul language mixed in. Naturally her chance of winning is seen higher! She said in an interview, "In the world of cinema, I am a veritable supporting actress. After this movie was completed for a few years, I remember it was my 'virgin foul language' work and it felt very fresh." As for Ah Tung's other fierce rival Tang To, she staged a passionate bed scene with her female co-star in GIRLFRIENDS (NUI HAI BUT PING FAN) and competed for "Best Supporting Actress" and "Best New Performer" at the same time. She humbly said that she still lacked performance, and being able to join the team this time was like winning the lottery! Competing for the "Best New Performer" at the Hong Kong Film Awards for the movie GOLDEN BOY (GUM TUNG), Ali Lee Kai Sum described being nominated this time as getting an "admission ticket", symbolizing that she has officially entered the film industry, and stated that she would learn anew with the mentality of "returning to zero" in the film world. Ali won the television Best Actress award in 2018 with the drama WHO WANTS A BABY and starred in many dramas, including BIG WHITE DUEL, BEAUTY AND THE BOSS and AI ROMANTIC, etc. Her acting skills have been highly recognized. At the end of 2024, she left TVB and set up her own shop, willing to take on more new challenges. She ushered in 2026 with the good news of being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards. She stated that at first when she saw her name on the nomination list, she was greatly surprised. She also said, "Yet ever greater was a type of reminder, reminding me that no matter how long I have acted, how many years I have been on television, I am still a newcomer. I have to learn anew completely inside and out. I am reminded of how matter at what age, I have to have a state of mind of returning to zero and learning anew." She said that she wanted the most to challenge the works or roles of human nature. "I really like to play characters with depth, variety, and can reflect the multifaceted aspects of the characters, such as psychiatrists, mental patients, or some ethical relationships, more complex emotions, or extreme emotions. I am very interested in them, and I really want the challenge." She said that she used to put too much pressure on herself, but now she would turn the pressure into motivation as she would hopefully enjoy each role. In terms of this year's "Best Supporting Actor", the nominees include THE UNIDENTIFIED MURDERS (UFO LEI KEI MING ONG)'s Peter Chan Charm Man, DUMPLING QUEEN (SHUI GAU WONG HAU)'s Ben Yuen Fu Wah, CIAO, UFO (JOI GEIN UFO)'s Wong Yau Nam, SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN)'s Alex To Tak Wai and FIGHT FOR TOMORROW (PING MING SAM LONG)'s Locker Lam Ka Hei, all of whom are close in strength. Among them Locker was originally the second choice, replacing MIRROR member Ian Chan Cheuk Yon in the film FIGHT, but with this he was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for the first time. He finally made a name for himself after 12 years in the industry. He stated that at the moment he received the good news his tears erupted and admitted that he really wanted to win. In the future he would make even more good movies. He recalled, "When I found out I was nominated, my emotions were very complex. I was so happy that it would be hard to describe!" After talking with his girlfriend Marf Yau Yin Tung, he immediately took a cold bath to calm down. "As a Hong Kong actor, being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards is definitely a milestone. I have completed a huge report card!" As for being the only nominee from the film, he said that he had an important responsibility. "Actually the whole team has had a very hard time, it has been preparing for 7 years and the budget was small. In addition it has gone through multiple revisions and replaced people many times. After joining the group, I only had 3 weeks to get into the shape of a Muay Thai fighter. The filming progress was rushed, and it took more than 10 days to complete the shooting, so controlling the time and physical fitness were the most difficult." As for Locker's rival Ben Yuen Fu Wah, he is the first "triple golden supporting actor" in the business with the Hong Kong Film Awards, Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and Mainland Golden Rooster Awards, which has been both motivation and pressure for him. Each time he has accepted a role, no matter the size he would put all his thought into the performance. He has already won the "Best Supporting Actor" at the Golden Rooster Awards for DUMPLING. Now the race has moved to the Hong Kong Film Awards, so he will naturally be seen as the favorite. His opponent Alex To Tak Wai's role as a crazy boss in SONS, which seems to be more focused than his role "Uncle Tang Shui", Ben said, "The voters must have their own perspectives and indicators, and each character's interpretation is related to the setting of their own role. Mr. To's role needs to be explosive and interpreted openly; 'Uncle Tang Shui' is a sketch type, the character must hide his kindness just right to help the director tell the story. These voters would take into account. In the past there have been many reserved characters who have won awards, such as UNCLE (SUK SUK)'s Tai Bo and THE WAY WE ARE (TIN SHUI WAI DIK YUT YU YEH)'s Paw Hee Ching. Their characters aren't explosive. Of course, the actors who are nominated must be good, and the best would be for all 5 to win awards!" * (2026/04/14) The Philip Yung Tsz Kwong written and directed film CYCLONE (CHIU FUNG) became the closing film of the "50th Hong Kong International Film Festival", and held its Asian premiere at the Cultural Center on the evening of the 12th. The film's actors Liu Yuqiao, Edwynn Li Yuxuan, Larine Tang Yueping, etc. attended and shared their production experience. He said that the new film would focus on the discrimination transgender people faced and the experience of sex workers and their clientele. He hoped that the film would bring the attention of the general public to this social topic. The actors described CYCLONE as a domestic Hong Kong films that realistically depicts of the lower class life. Yung Tsz Kwong revealed that CYCLONE received a funding of HK$ 1 million from the International Film Festival financing scheme, and he also put several hundred thousands into the production. He emphasized that his original intention was not to make money, but only to make works with Hong Kong characteristics. Referring to THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO), the Lunar New Year film he directed and invested in has collected more than 16 million so far at box office. He once said that the film would have to reach 30 million to recoup the capital. He admitted that he has already expected to lose money. "It still has not been released in many areas, but a loss is expected." Regarding the recent box office of many movies exceeding 100 million, Yung Tsz Kwong believed that although some movies have high box office, some theaters have closed in the past few years so they should think of ways to improve the movie business. He also noticed that the recently well-received WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR) and CIAO, UFO (JOI GEIN UFO) would have grossed at least $20 million at the box office if released two years earlier. He also said that he would continue to make low-budget films in the future, and joked that he would leave the large scale format or more commercial films to Ho Cheuk Tin. He also believed that Hong Kong needs different subject and budget productions for the film industry to have a healthy development. Speaking of the Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING exceeding 100 million at the box office, Yung Tsz Kwong praised NIGHT KING as a good movie. Dayo Wong Tze Wah is currently the most popular actor in Hong Kong, bringing joy and resonance of Hong Kong to the audience. When asked if he would invite Tsz Yung to collaborate and help him recover his capital, he said he would not dare. "Everyone is scrambling to find Tsz Wah, how could it be my turn?" He pointed out that Tsz Wah's works in recent years have not fully demonstrated his strength, and he would look forward to bringing better works in the future. He believed that Tsz Wah would be able to play a role with complex thinking since he studied philosophy. Yung Tsz Kwong joked that WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL's director Herman Yau Lai To was a philosophical director with very complex thinking, so he believed that Yau Lai To and Wong Tze Wah would probably have a lot to talk about. Yung Tsz Kwong also praised Hong Kong's new actors for their good performances. In addition to Anson Kong Yip Sun (AK), there is also Tang Yueping. She had cameo appearances in Yung Tsz Kwong directed PORT OF CALL (DAP HUET CHUM MUI) and THE SPARRING PARTNER (JING YI WU LONG), this time she played a sex worker with a drug addiction in CYCLONE. Yung Tsz Kwong said that Tang Yueping had an idol appearance but actually was very down to earth, and joked that her appearance has hindered her acting skills. Yung Tsz Kwong said that he was satisfied with her performance and looked forward to collaborating again in the future. Tang Yueping challenged the role of an addict for the first time and could not forget her convincing appearance during filming. She revealed that a convenience store clerk mistook her for shoplifting at the store. "In order to have the feeling of confusion, I went to buy alcohol at the convenience store during the shoot. Because my appearance was covered with sores and tattoos and with my condition at the time, the clerk thought that I wanted to steal and asked to search my bag on the spot. The appearance was thus proven to be very convincing." * (2026/04/13) Known as the "Shaw's Five Tigers" with Jimmy Wang Yu, Lo Lieh, Chang Yi, Chieh Yuan, veteran artist Cheng Lei was rumored to have passed away at age 82. Reportedly Cheng Lei passed away on March 25th. His family has also released an obituary. Services for Cheng Lei began yesterday at the Hong Kong Funeral Parlor. Originally named Cheng Hung Wing, Cheng Lei has played countless characters, including Kau Chin Cheung the 1976 CTV version of THE RETURN OF THE CONDOR HEROES, Muk Ko Fung in TVB's STATE OF DIVINITY, Big Brother WU in TVB's THE DEMI-GODS AND SEMI-DEVILS 1997, and RTV's LEGENDARY FOK. The mourning hall was decorated simply and cleanly, at the center was Cheng Lei's photo with a "FOREVER MISSED" banner overhead. On the table were old photos from when he was 30 and fitness competition awards from his youth. * (2026/04/13) The Anson Kong Yip Sun (AK) and ANSONBEAN Chan Ngai Sun starred WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR) is Herman Yau Lai To written, directed and financed. Driven by word of mouth, the film has received more than 3 million after 10 days in release. Two days ago about 140 performances on the day before yesterday earned more than 600,000, becoming the best single-day box office result since its release; Yau Lai To joined the film's "family of three" AK, Amanda Lee Wai Man and Ben Yuen Fu Wa at the theater to thank the audience. Some audience members praised AK for his sexy performance in underwear, and questioned that his role was very poor, but his underwear and sheets looked too clean. AK awkwardly laughed and put his hands together in response. Becoming category III film stars, AK and Chan Ngai Sun played homosexuals in the film and had their share of daring scenes that included passion scenes with only underwear. There have been outside noises that claimed AK did not finish his words in the film and sounded like he was "reading from the script. Yau Lai To apologized to AK when he thanked the audience the day before, saying that he asked AK not to speak with "Le", "Lo", etc., and praising him for remembering that well during filming so he did not need to remind him. "Some people are lonely, don't know how to communicate with others, and speak just like Fai Jai (AK's character)". AK and Chan Ngai Sun have had scenes together in the TV series SPARKS. This time they officially collaborated in WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL, AK said that he was glad that the co-star this time was Chan Ngai Sun. "Because of his enthusiasm and energy, I was indeed not so embarrassing when I dealt with some important or more intimate scenes in this film; he is a yes man, so many times we can act in more intimate scenes very quickly. The first scene on the first day of work was to shoot these scenes, so we shouted 'Come on!' and broke through the embarrassment and unfamiliarity. As soon as we arrived the director has forced us to mature." Chan Ngai Sun said that he has always admired AK, and his frankness and directness made the shoot very smooth. "He also let loose easily, when filming intimate scenes he was at my mercy." Those who played their lovers were all opposite sex. This time facing daring scenes with the same sex co-star, they instead raved. AK said, "I think the biggest difference is that sometimes it's not so scary and embarrassing. We have talked about it after filming the intimate scene; if this scene is with the opposite sex, I would have been more nervous and scared because there might have been more concerns. When everyone are guys, there are actually fewer worries or embarrassments. Our most afraid was always the first performance, the result of filming wasn't good enough, couldn't meet the director's requirements and aesthetics, but we didn't be afraid of where you touch would upset the other person." Chan Ngai Sun revealed that the director took a lot of shots for this scene, and saw that the director's editing results were very smooth and just right. "Filming this kind of scene with the same sex is more frank and direct, and there are not so many embarrassing or mindful situations." Dealing with the intimate scene of touching each other's sensitive spots, AK said that he did not consider too much and followed the director's instructions on everything. "Before filming, the director talked about what the general process was and where the camera would be. I think the director's preparation is really well done, he knows how to place the camera very clearly. Actually it doesn't need to be filmed many times to be completed. The cinematographer brother even praised us for performing with a lot of feeling and gave us a lot of confidence." Chan Ngai Sun said that he did not really touch the other party because they were all wearing athletic cups. AK said, "Even if he really touched it, I was fine. Everyone are men, and the limit has been set to as low as the ankles." AK and Chan Ngai Sun both said that they did not worry too much about accepting a category III film. AK said, "On the day of filming the passion scene, we had to take off our clothes and put on a bathrobe during preparation. We even jokingly declared 'Yeah! We can become category III erotic stars.' Joking make ourselves less embarrassed and hopefully make the atmosphere of the scene more relaxed and tolerant to complete this matter. Actually everyone is really professional." Chan Ngai Sun said that after reading the script, he was very moved and felt that it was of great significance. So he has decided to put aside all the baggage and let go, but he missed a spot. "The scene of wearing only underwear did make me a little nervous. The costume was only a pair of white underwear, and even an triangular pair. Our way to deal with it was to wear this white underwear around the set, run around to familiarize ourselves with the environment, and after getting used to it we would not be embarrassed to face the camera." Kong Yip Sun laughed and pointed out that there were men and women on the set that day. The staff had it rough, because they did not know if everyone really wanted to see it. The two said that after this experience, they will not mind an even more daring challenge in the future if the script and the role required it. Even baring their rears would be no problem. Would they worried that fans would not be able to accept it? AK thought, "I don't think so, but I really hope that the fans who couldn't accept it would be open their minds after watching this film. I would be very happy. I feel that in this day and age there is no alternative differentiation. I myself have many friends with this orientation, only you feel it's alternative. Actually it is already very common." He said that he did not define whether the character liked men or women, but wanted to find someone he loved and feel loved. This character of Chan Ngai Sun just happened to appear in front of him, so he would not define this film with alternative. Chan Ngai Sun was convinced that fans would be able to accept it, but advised underage fans not to sneak in, fearing that these fans might not be mature enough to receive the bold scenes in the film. In the film the characters they played had to face different family problems, which made them deeply feel the importance of their real families even more. Chan Ngai Sun said, "When I was a child, I was more mischievous and my father was more serious; so he would hit and yell. I knew that the opposition to me was out of worry, but he still loved me. When I decided to participate in KING MAKER and gave up going to the UK, chose to return to Hong Kong to study at university, there were some arguments but I still thank my family for respecting my decision. In the end they allow me to take part in this competition, then they still silently supported me." AK said that reality was 180 degrees different from the role in the film. His relationship with his family has always been very good, and they have never objected to him doing anything. "Even when I didn't earn much as a dancer before, my family only asked me to be able to take care of myself. Not making a sound was already the greatest support. Looking back at the journey of growing up, I am already grateful for not getting into trouble. I thank my family for their unconditional support, as well as their love and tolerance all along." * (2026/04/13) The Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting directed documentary film that spent ten years to chronicle the growth of some of Ying Wa Girls' School students, TO MY NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD SELF (CUP SUP GAU SHUI DIK NGOR), was officially released in 2023. Shortly after it was accused of shooting without the consent of the students and suspended its run. Lately due to its planned participation in the Udine Far East Film Festival in Italy it has caused led to controversy. Reportedly the film was selected for the "Non-Competition Section" of the Far East Film Festival in Italy and was originally scheduled to be screened at the Film Festival at the end of this month. After the news broke, two of the alumni who were in the production expressed their objection, triggered the attention of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data and the Department and the Education Bureau and proceeded to get an understanding of the situation from the school. Ying Wa Girls' School issued a statement on its official website, making it clear that as the film owner it would not agree to any form of screening without the unanimous consent of the main filmmakers, and emphasizing that it has not authorize the film to be re- released. In response, director Cheung Yuen Ting issued an open letter to say that when discussing the participation in the exhibition with the film distributor Golden Scene and the school at the beginning of this year, the principal did not raise any objections until the end of February. She condemned the school's "bait cutting" was refusing to accept responsibility. She also mentioned that one former student who objected afterwards initially agreed to participate in the exhibition, and another alumnus who object was removed from the exhibition version. Golden Scene also issued a statement, saying that the school has authorized the international distribution and participation in the exhibition, has notified the film festival to delete the controversial content, and did not rule out defending its rights through legal channels. Golden Scene said that in view of the development of the incident, it announced the cancellation of the film's participation arrangements, and said that it would reserve all legal rights to protect the company's reputation and rights. * (2026/04/12) Tony Wu Tsz Tung, Kevin Chu Kam Yin and Locker Lam Ka Hei filmed advertisements for fashion brands and fitness centers the day before yesterday. The three of them were smiling and said that they have not worked together in a long time, so they were happy. Speaking of fitness, Locker said that he has recently taken on two movies. Since the roles would not need a strong body, he has not worked out for a while and hoped to be a little thinner. He laughed and said that all the nutrition now have gone to his head and his mind has become developed, and denied that his girlfriend and COLLAR member Marf Yau Yin Tung disliked him being too fit. "Earlier when I made FIGHT FOR TOMORROW I was pretty huge, now work is tough but my mind has developed. I have become the thinking type." Chu Kam Yin said that the role he would play would also rely on his mind and would not require a particularly strong body, but he has always had the habit of exercising to maintain his health, and plans to strengthen thigh training in the next six months. Wu Tsz Tung is undergoing action training for the movie TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG). He laughed and said that he would become the boss in the film this time and his state of mind has grown, so his muscles would not have to grow anymore; but there must be more action scenes than in the first installment and many more running and jumping scenes. In particular he knew that in the end he would have be wearing very little in scenes, so he would have to work out. Regarding his 33rd birthday on the 16th, Wu Tsz Tung immediately became shy and explained that he has never had the habit of celebrating birthdays. Yet since the new film is expected to start filming in the next two weeks, he was very excited and looking forward to it. As for the Hong Kong Academy Awards ceremony to be held on the 19th, Locker, who competed for Best Supporting Actor with FIGHT FOR TOMORROW (PING MING SAM LONG), said that he has chosen a very beautiful suit that he liked to attend in, after all, it would be his first red carpet walk. Wu Tsz Tung shared his experience that the most important thing was to dress comfortably, because he would have to sit in the venue for a long time. Locker joked that the pants were very comfortable, and he even thought about dancing on the red carpet. He said that he would not walk the red carpet with his girlfriend, saying that she had a strong fashion sense. Normally when he was matching clothes he would ask his girlfriend for her opinion, but this time the suit would not require too much matching. "I would match my mood! Maybe I would ask her to choreograph for me so I could dance on the red carpet a little." Speaking of Locker's chance to dance when he would have accept the award on the stage, he admitted, "I really have thought about it. If I would win, I could do anything on stage; but I had to be considerate since I am still considered 'new' and received my first nomination. Even if I would have a chance to win, the stage seems to be not suitable to be having too fun. However I also hope to be as happy as going to a party, and I will find a balance." * (2026/04/11) Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip and director Jack Ng Wai Lun gave away curry fish balls in Tsim Sha Tsui East the night before, fulfilling the promise to treat everyone to fish balls when the movie "Night King" would exceed more than HK$ 100 million at the box office. Although only 200 spots were distributed at the event that a large number of fans to watch, the scene was chaotic. The director also announced on the spot that the less restricted director's cut special edition of the film would be released on the 16th, adding 30 minutes of never-before-seen footage. The box office of "Night King" has reached 107,349,420 (Hong Kong dollars, the same below) on the 8th of this month, director Ng Wai Lun announced the release of the 162-minute director's version, plus 30 minutes of never-before-seen footage, including Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Mandy Tam Man Huen, Sumling Li and other characters of life background, experience, deleted erotic scenes, etc., as well as the addition of the new character Amy Lo Wai Man as "Prince Fung" Lo Chun Yip's sister Ella. He described this version as very "hardcore", the first scene was already quite sh ocking so he asked the audience not to be late. He hoped that the box office would reach the next level. "It will include Yeung Sze Wing and Ho Kai Wah's deleted passion scene, Wong Tze Wah, Cheng Sau Man, other 'EJ hostesses' would all have added scenes. Everyone is included. Lo Wai Man played Prince Fung's sister Ella, who is very important to the entire film and has the fate of Club EJ in her hands. I would describe the 'Director's Cut' as more 'hardcore'. I hope the box office would reach another level." He also explained why the director's cut would be released in April, "Because the additional plot is more tragic, it is not suitable for the atmosphere of the Lunar New Year film." The lead actor and actress Tze Wah and Sammi said that the director's cut would be like a new film, which was exciting. Speaking of Sammi's figure was a bit round and her condition was very fit, Tze Wah revealed, "Sammi is in retreat for the Kai Tak concert in July, this time I had to beg her to come out." Would Tze Wah really sing and dance for Sammi's concert and pay for his promise of celebrating the box office of more than 100 million? Tze Wah joked, "If I can do it I will, but it is not as easy as everyone thinks. I can't sing or dance. I'm afraid of being embarrassed. I already want to see a doctor when I think of how I look when singing and dancing." The reporter pointed out that Tze Wah excelled at stand-up comedy, he said, "I have retired in this regard, now my mind is turning slower. Don't put pressure on me, even with a job I may not be able to go; but if all the actors of NIGHT KING would go, and I am not working, I may tag along." When Francis Ng Chun Yu's son Feynman Ng Fai Man sharing a photo of his father having dinner with Tze Wah and Cheung Tat Ming on social platforms, it immediately evoked online collective memories of the three-person stand-up comedy show FREE MEN SHOW. Tze Wah humorously praised Ng Fai Man for portraying his father as "very handsome", but portraying him as an "useless old man". Actually at the time he was thinking about who would pay for that meal. As for online concerns about Cheung Tat Ming's health, Tze Wah revealed that Cheung Tat Ming was currently in good health. As for whether the three of them will join together again for a show, Tze Wah said frankly, "Acting is more demanding, I wish everyone is healthy." Speaking of NIGHT KING has not yet held a celebration banquet, the director joked, "The boss probably wouldn't hold out on us, but the date has not yet been decided." Tze Wah laughed and said that giving back to the audience with fish balls this time was purely because of his "mouth", and hoped that he could distribute pork rind, pig blood and radish again with good results in the future. When Liew Chi Yu and her boyfriend Lo Chun Yip were interviewed, they talked about the passion scenes in the director's cut. Although the new version would be rated category III, Lo Chun Yip said humorously, "I am still dressed in every scene, so it's none of my business." Speaking of Lo Chun Yip's early arrangement of her birthday trip to Shanghai, Liew Chi Yu expressed her gratitude to her boyfriend for his companionship and time. She gave the trip a score of 99.9 points, with the remaining 0.1 point as room for improvement. The two immediately flirted, and Lo Chun Yip said wittily, "Then I will watch you perform on my birthday at the end of the year." When Liew Chi Yu was asked if she has received a physical birthday gift, she stared at her boyfriend with wide eyes and said, "I don't seems to have!" The reporter joked that her boyfriend arranged for her to go to the supermarket to "sweep up goods" for a minute, and she really would want to sweep up the durian wildly. Lo Chun Yip humorously said, "I give you a minute to sweep the living room all you want." On the other hand, NIGHT KING actors Dee Ho Kai Wah, Yeung Sze Wing, Tam Man Huen and Sumling Li were interviewed together. They revealed that the director's cut would explain in detail the life background of the hostesses and guests in the film to make the story more complete. Sumling Li said that because she had to dub a scene with Sammi in the bath, she has already seen some of the director's cut in advance. She praised the opening scene as "very shocking", "The director said that he would show me the opening scene to scare me, but I was really scared after watching it. It was like another movie, and I thought it was the sequel." Yeung Sze Wing was asked if rumors of her being dissatisfied with the drastic reduction of the original scenes led to the director's cut this time to "make up" to her? She immediately asked the reporter to clarify on her behalf, emphasizing that they were purely rumors. She thanked the director and stressed that the added scenes were not just due to her alone. "The director has been great this time, he would explain every one of us hostesses' stories and the difficulties we face." Would her love scene with Ah Dee be brought back? She said that it would not matter. "In the new version every actor would have added scenes." Speaking of the added tragic scenes, Ah Dee felt that they were very realistic. Whether the hostesses or the clients' states of mind would have in-depth explanations and give the characters more dimensions. Ho Kai Wah thanked the audience for gathering their energy to make the director's cut come true, and promised to work hard to thank the audience. He even described, "All the hidden characters are out, this director's cut is the show hand version, it already is All In!" Ah Dee said, "Actually it is already great. All of our contributions would finally be out. Not every movie would have such an opportunity." In addition, this year has been disastrous for Ah Dee's guy group ERROR. Even ViuTV's award show CHILL CLUB AWARD 25/26's press conference today did not have their names. He said, "CHILL CLUB is a very fair music program, it doesn't just put people on because they are their own people. This time we ERROR's absence seems to be pretty normal, haha! We haven't had any new music for everyone to hear, nothing we can't do." Some online blasted Poki Ng and 193 for dragged them all down. * (2026/04/11) Stephy Tang Lai Yan, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Anson Kong Yip Sun (AK), Adam Pak Tin Nam, Hazel Lam Hei Tung and Yoyo Tse Wing Yan attended the premiere of SPARE QUEENS (DAI FUN JUNG) at the 50th Hong Kong International Film Festival the night before. Lee Shau Kee's son and Henderson Land Group's executive director and chairman Martin Lee Ka Shing earlier filed a defamation and harassment lawsuit against Chau Sau Na. After two months of silence she made her first public appearance, during which she was seen chatting with other actors, answering questions from the emcee and acting relaxed. When asked about this lawsuit during an interview, Chau Sau Na only said, "No comment, thank you!" Regarding Lee Ka Shing's complaint, she once expressed surprise and aggrievance at the incident on social platforms. The reporter asked her if her mood has improved now. She avoided the question and replied, "The premiere should focus on the movie, I am happy! I haven't seen this movie myself, and I want to know how I did in it; if it feels convincing or not, because the camera was shooting us but actually we can't (bowl). (Did you get thinner?) It's around the same." AK immediately said, "She is just as pretty. I am thinner too. Ask me something, have you asked about how I am?" He said that he made several strikes during the shoot, because when he knocked the pins down he could finish the work sooner. "Director (Tong Chung Sing) said that shots of my strikes could be used in the film, meaning that the team could get off work early." Chau Sau Na was like a teacher and friend to AK in the film, but in order to recruit him to join the bowling team she had to use her beauty to lure him. She joked that she tried anything and everything. AK laughed and pointed out that he both loved and hated Chau Sau Na in the film; but in reality not only his MIRROR teammates were very envious of him, but all men in Hong Kong were. "I really am very happy, making the other brothers envious already puts me ahead." Chau Sau Na joked, "My friends are also very envious of me." Did his group mates visit the set? Ak said, "I deliberately didn't tell them when the shoots were. These moments are of course for me to enjoy alone! Chau Sau and I in the film are very mysterious. On a certain level she is my mentor, the relationship between master and disciple is the modern version of RETURN OF THE CONDOR HEROES." Since the two did not know the sport of bowling themselves, they both had to learn to bowl before the performance. Chau Sau Na said that she has only bowled once or twice in the past, and accidentally strained her shoulder during training. She said with a smile, "At first I didn't know how to bowl and I knocked pins down randomly. Yet bowling was about form. When I pursued form, but I bowled worse and worse!" In addition, Pak Tin Nam played a scumbag who was with several women at once and even had a daughter out of wedlock. In reality he likes children, but he has never thought about the next generation because he felt that he would not have time to take care of children. Now playing with other people's children is already enough. The 42 year old Tang Lai Yan with Pak Tin Nam and the 24 year old Tse Wing Yan played a family of three in SPARE QUEENS. She revealed that she and Pak Tin Nam had 3 passion scenes. Playing a mother for the first time, Stephy stated that at first she had her doubts too. "For my first time as a mother I already have a 19 year old daughter, would the daughter be too grown? Yet with the plot it is very reasonable. It is about me falling for Pak Tin Nam at a very young age then having the child. (Have you thought about having children in reality?) From yes to no, the older I got the more I wanted to be freer. I am not necessarily suitable to be a Mommy. It's fine to play with other people's, when I do something I really want to focus on doing it well; so since I am focusing on my career, I shouldn't think about anything else. Now I can travel at anytime, life is great." Alex Fong Lik Sun sang the a duet of GOOD INTENTION GOOD REWARD was a "reasonable facsimile" of Tang Lai Yan at his Foshan concert and brought back memories for everyone. Did Stephy see the resemblance? She joked, "We are both women, My Ma said no resemblance. (Has Siu Fong asked you to be his concert guest?) No! (Even Siu Fong has said that he would have to ask his wife first?) That's right, don't bother them! (If he really invite you to be a guest?) Let him ask his wife first! (Would you need to ask your boyfriend?) I may need to, it's a sign of respect. (You could still support him even without being a guest.) No, I have work to do. Even if I didn't it wouldn't be good, don't bother others." * (2026/04/10) Siuyea Lo Chun Yip, Rachel Leung Yung Ting, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Crystal Cheung Man Ka, Kearen Pang Sau Wai etc. attended the premiere event of THE DATING MENU (CHU SI FAT BAN) at the 50th Hong Kong International Film Festival the night before. The film tells the story of Siuyea maneuvering between 4 girls. He was teased for being extremely lucky. He admitted that he was also very happy, and joked that if the director would make another movie like this, reducing the salary would be up for discussion. Yeung Sze Wing said with a smile that she was very happy to meet the other three "rivals" in the film, joked that Siuyea was "sweet" on her in the film, and said that she would not accept handing over the account password of the social platform in order to protect her personal privacy. Would there be any intimate scene? Siuyea described it as innocent intimacy, and the most intense scene was not in terms of lust, but in dialogue. With all four actresses he had all different forms of communication; he also pointed out that because of this movie, his cooking skills that was not too hellish to begin with have improved a lot. The reporter laughed and asked if his girlfriend Fish Liew Chi was a lab rat for his cooking skills? He immediately denied that and revealed that his girlfriend felt that he was good at cooking. Speaking of his arrangement to travel to Shanghai to celebrate her birthday, he said that because his girlfriend had never been there. In addition to meeting the editor of NIGHT KING who lived there for dinner, he also took his girlfriend to the Bund. However he did not propose even under such a romantic scenery. Regarding NIGHT KING breaking through 100 million at the box office, Liew Chi Yu has been promoted to the actor with 3 Hong Kong films of more than 100 million box office. Siuyea who also worked on NIGHT KING said with a smile, "Then I have one. (Will you get married and celebrate?) They are two different things, with nothing to do with each other. Marriage needs a plan, and the plan also has to consider money." Leung Yung Ting, Cheung Man Ka and Yeung Sze Wing were all Siuyea's objects in the film, Leung Yung Ting revealed that the movie was shot on location in Tainan and also called for support for her other film WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR); Cheung Man Ka said that the director pushed her forward another step to play the role of a mother this time, and she had real wine with Siuyea when filming the drinking scene in the film. Yeung Sze Wing said that she was very happy to meet the other three "rival" actresses who interacted with Siuyea in the film at the premiere this time, because they were filmed separately. She also laughed that Siuyea was "sweet" on to her in the film. Is her boyfriend Owen Cheung Chun Long also "sweet" on her? She avoided the topic and hoped that everyone who has seen the movie would also be "sweet" on her. When asked if she has paid attention to the rumors that Cheung Chun Long was "frozen" (suspended) for disobeying TVB's instructions and refusing to hand over the account password of the social platform, Yeung Sze Wing immediately asked a series of rhetorical questions, "Is it okay? Isn't this privacy? I thought it was just a joke, social media is used to communicate with others according to my own preferences, and it is a private space. I don't know if it is true, and I am not sure what has happened, so it's inconvenient to comment; but I guess I probably wouldn't make this decision, because like walking on a tightrope it's not too good." She admitted that if she was asked to hand over her social platform password, she would not accept it. "Of course not! I have a lot of conversations with Fish (Liew Chi Yu) in there, what are we going to do if they are publicized for people to know? They can't!" The reporter continued to ask if her boyfriend has mentioned losing his commercial acting jobs, she joked, "I welcome anyone with a job to find me. (With jobs that your boyfriend 'doesn't get to work on", can advertisers still find you?) Jobs whoever 'doesn't get to work on' can come to me, I am willing to contribute for film." When asked if she and her boyfriend knew each other's social platform account passwords, she avoided the topic and did not answer directly. * (2026/04/09) The movie BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) has made efforts to promote in hopes of its box office would exceed HK$ 100 million, while the Hong Kong and Macau box office of another Hong Kong film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) has already exceeded 105 million. In order to thank the audience for their support, many actors would "pay the bill" today in Tsim Sha Tsui and treat fans to fish balls to celebrate. During the past Easter holiday the total box office revenue in Hong Kong in 4 days reached HK$ 25,931,645, a very impressive increase of 103.33% increase from 12,753,564 over the same period last year! The top three were the Hollywood animation THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE with a box office of 13.19 million and cumulative box office of 20.43 million, the Hollywood movie PROJECT HAIL MARY with a box office of 4.28 million and cumulative box office of 16.87 million, and the animation HOPPERS with 2.89 million and cumulative box office of 26.31 million. Hong Kong films NIGHT KING and WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR), the new film of MIRROR vice-captain Anson Kong Yip Sun, and CIAO, UFO (JOI GEIN UFO) followed. NIGHT KING made around 1.54 million with a cumulative box office of 107 million. WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL made 1.49 million with a cumulative box office of 1.93 million. CIAO, UFO made 1.19 million with a cumulative box office of 5.94 million. Starred in NIGHT KING, Louise Wong Dan Nei was of course happy about the box office success. She even made a video to reprise the roles she played earlier, including "Sister Coco" in NIGHT KING. * (2026/04/09) The movie version BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) was released on December 31, 2025. As of April 6, 2026 its cumulative box office in Hong Kong and Macau has reached 97,654,962 (Hong Kong dollars, the same below). Its group of leading actors Louis Koo Tin Lok, Raymond Lam Fung, Sonija Kwok Sin Nei, Joyce Tang Lai Ming, Kevin Chu Kam Yin, etc., went to the theater the night before to attend the BACK TO THE PAST PLUS+ (CHUM CHUN GEI PLUS+ DOR YUEN YU JAU BAN) audience appreciation screening. After that, near the early hours of the morning, Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) and Jimmy Au Sui Wai also returned to the team to attend the BACK TO THE PAST Silver Screen Small Screen Combination Watching TV Series Finale Meeting". Hundreds of fans gathered at the shopping center in the early morning to watch the finale of the drama version A STEP INTO THE BACK together. When the drama reached the Lam Fung played Chiu Poon achieving complete victory and declared with dominance that his world would last ten thousand lifetimes and ages without end, the live audience all screamed, "Hail, Hail, Long Live the Emperor". Koo Tin Lok and Kwok Sin Nei were so moved by the enthusiasm of the audience that they could not help but cry. In the interactive chat session, the emcee C Kwan invited Suen Huen to reenact the classic acupuncture point scene on the spot, only to see her tapping left and right on Koo Tin Lok's shoulder. The fans immediately cheered. After that Koo Tin Lok also took the opportunity to "retaliate", jokingly asking the audience if they wanted to see him stun Suen Huen. He even joked, "How much fun have you had with the poking?" Finally Koo Tin Lok stretched out his hand to poke Suen Huen's back, and the scene was funny. Another climax was the scene where Tang Lai Ming and Koo Tin Lok reenacted the scene in the finale where "Sin Yau" lay on the chest of "Hong Siu Lung", and Tang Lai Ming even took the opportunity to say what the character did not say back then, "Actually I really want you to ask me to stay!" Later the emcee Lok Wing pulled Au Sui Wai on stage again and arranged for Au Sui Wai, who has kissed Koo Tin Lok in the "Plus+ Multiverse Version", to lie on his chest. Au Sui Wai immediately played coy and said, "Now what, I've been taken care of!" and caused the audience to burst into laughter. At the end of the event, the leading actors revealed their true feelings. Suen Huen emotionally said to the audience, "You think we have brought you a lot of happiness. Actually we have seen your reactions, support and sharing in the past few months, and you have brought us a very happy feeling. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to experience this in my life." Kwok Sin Nei was even more moved to tears, she said, "I made my first drama 25 years ago. Many things have changed after 25 years, but everyone seems to be unchanged. I am really touched." In order to thank the audience for their support, the actors finally sang DESTINY REIGNS SUPREME with the audience and set off a memory kill. Koo Tin Lok then sang the new song "The Great Scam of the Century", and Lam Fung presented the classic song "Love is Looking for You in Memory" to celebrate, bringing the night to a successful end. Koo Tin Lok said that this should be the last audience appreciation event for the movie BACK TO THE PAST, because since January 1st he has been thanking the audience to now. He joked, "Should I thank the audience all the way past Duen Ng (Festival)! If you can thank past Christmas I would call you talented. That would really be great!" Yet the box office was still more than 2 million short of breaking 100 million? He also hoped that the audience would continue to support them, since they have been doing their jobs. He also revealed that he has been watching the drama A STEP INTO THE PAST at night, and joked that when he reached episode 39 and all the bad guys were still alive, he thought he was watching the wrong show. Tang Lai Ming has watched many finale with the audience, but this was the first time with the audience in the early morning. "In order to watch the finale this time, I watched all 39 episodes at home two days before. My husband happened to go skiing again and was not at home." The reporter asked if she accidentally exposed her duplex mansion on the Internet? Kwok Sin Nei said that she also saw it, and praised her mansion as very pretty. Tang Lai Ming said with a smile, "It's just a place in the country!" Koo Tin Lok and Kwok Sin Nei said that when they were at TVB, watching the finale with the audience was not popular yet. Koo Tin Lok pointed out that he also watched the drama A STEP INTO THE PAST again. Kwok Sin Nei recalled that her first day of work was the final scene when she was pregnant. Many people asked her where the child in her womb went, and she asked Koo Tin Lok for the answer on the spot the night before. Koo Tin Lok responded with a smile, "There will be an explanation later!" Koo Tin Lok was about to start filming the movie TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER, but since he has not recovered from his earlier eye ailment would it have any impact? Koo Tin Lok said it would have no effect. Kwok Sin Nei immediately suggested, "You can wear glasses for the shoot. I have seen the movie and it's good. I feel that you are very uncle, but I like it very much." Koo Tin Lok rolled his eyes and said, "For continuity of course I would have to wear glasses. I have no reason to wear contact lenses this time. Do you really like Uncle? But I'm not an uncle!" Regarding his new song "The Great Scam of the Century" topping a certain sales chart as the champion, he said that he did not even know it. This time his cat also connects the whole story in the new song. Kwok Sin Nei asked again why it was a black cat. Now she knew that many people used black cats to represent Louis Koo, but she did not understand why. Goo Jai joked, "Now you know that it is a black cat, that's so impressive, you can go to the park and ask those uncles!" Tang Lai Ming has been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for "Best Supporting Actress" for BACK TO THE PAST. The reporter asked her if she would attend the awards ceremony with her husband? She laughed and said, "No, I was also thinking that if I won the award, should I hug my husband or Koo Tin Lok? Finally I decided to hug Boss Koo, so my husband won't appear." TVB has been accused for forcing all of its artists to hand over social platform accounts and passwords to put "central management" into practice. Tang Lai Ming said that she did not have a manager contract, it had nothing to do with her so she has not thought about any impact. Lam Fung was no longer at TVB, has not gotten an understanding of the matter so he declined to comment. However he believed that TVB might its own set of standards, and that every company would fight for the best platform and benefits for its artists. Did he feel that this move would make artists lose privacy? He said, "Artists are on the public layer, I estimate that joint management would have its own considerations." Lam Fung said with a smile that he has only tried countdown activities before, but has never watched the finale of the series with fans at the shopping center at late night. "This time it's pretty outrageous. I remember the last time I watched the ending was HEART OF GREED! I was a little surprised when I received the notification for this event." Speaking of BACK TO THE PAST nearing HK$ 100 million at the box office, Lam Fung hoped to be able to get another push to reach the goal. He also did not expect that he would still be thanking the audience three months after the movie's release, but it would probably also be the last time to thank the audience for him because he would have to prepare to start working on a new film. Lam Fung would participate in TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG). He has been training for a month already, and he also needed to get a tan for the role "Chan Lok Kwan", but due to time constraints he could only rely on the lamp. The rest of the time was left for stunt training. Lam Fung revealed that he has always had old injuries from past shoots, and however much he would be able to recover before filming started would be it. "I had some problems with my right foot going up and down the stairs before, so I went to get a knee scan. The cruciate ligament has recovered, but the 'pineapple cover' (patella) had a hole, which was the spot that absorbed the impact. Because I didn't know the last time I got hurt, nothing could probably be done. I relied on taking painkillers, and injecting the 'gel' helped a little!" He lamented that he did not understand much before, did not deal with injuries and never recovered; so he advised Chu Kam Yin to pay attention. Chu Kam Yin used to be a representative of the Hong Kong swimming team. He said that when he was an athlete, he had a record of injuries and strains on his shoulders, neck and waist, but he has recovered and understood that he should warm up and stretch before exercise.

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 [ 50TH HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Anchored by a powerful performance by Liu Yuqiao as the eponymous protagonist, Philip Yung's transgender drama is a poignant and empathetic tale of a lost soul searching for a place of belonging. 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.

[ 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.

Large-scale protests by the populace have been brutally suppressed. This mix of documentary, fiction, and visions of the future reveals the current state of desolate depression among the people of Hong Kong.

In four chapters, Chan looks back at previous moments of resistance and revolution on the island: in 1967, 1973, and 1989. He shows how the activists of then are faring now. Some still burn with righteous fire, while others are disillusioned or have been bought off by the system. The past is presented in fictional scenes, with today's activists playing those of yesteryear.

An rejuvenated ode to both THE KARATE KID and the action heroines of Hong Kong's Golden Age, the latest from director Ricky Ko after his award-winning TIME (Fantasia 2021) once again nicely combines nostalgia and modernity with a potent mix of martial arts, humour, sweetness, and compelling characters, OUT OF THE SHADOW offers a guaranteed good time, a reminder of why we love HK movies so much in the first place.

[ 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.

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 [ 50TH HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Anchored by a powerful performance by Liu Yuqiao as the eponymous protagonist, Philip Yung's transgender drama is a poignant and empathetic tale of a lost soul searching for a place of belonging. 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.

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.

This charming sci-fi comedy also marks the reunion of Tsui Tien-you, Wong Younam and Charlene Choi, who co- starred in 2002 teen comedy hit Summer Breeze of Love.
