Ella Koon Yun Na who celebrates her birthday on July 9th HOW TO SUPPORT FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THE DEADLY TAI PO FIRE * https://hongkongfp.com/2025/11/27/hkfp-guide-how-to-support-families-affected-by-the-deadly-tai-po-fire/ 2. MISCELLANEOUS * (2026/07/15) The Stephen Chow Sing Chi (Sing Yeh) written and directed film KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK) was recently released first in mainland China, earning 740 million RMB (about 850 million HKD) in 4 days and attracting 20 million viewers. The official announcement yesterday announced that the film will be released in Hong Kong and Macau on August 13th. One of the Hong Kong posters showed "Double 8" Sisley Choi Si Bui defending the goal. She has been "using her power" on social media for several days, revealing that she was covered in injuries from filming action scenes. She also taught everyone to say "Double 8" in Cantonese over a live stream. Currently in mainland China, Sing Yeh made many visits to thank the audience. At a theater in Chengdu, he met the first-generation "Kwok Ching" Jason Pai Piao in the audience. Pai Piao had nothing but praise for the film. Sing Yeh 'returned the favor' and said that he was a Pai Piao fan, as he joked, 'Finally someone......can say that I grew up watching his work." KUNG FU SOCCER officially announced that the film will be released in Hong Kong and Macau on August 13th, and yesterday two Hong Kong teaser posters and trailers were released. One of the posters featured the back of "Double 8" Choi Si Bui guarding the goal. The main cast of Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba Dilmurat, and Lay Zhang Yixing, along with Choi Si Bui, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, MC Jin (Auyeung Ching), Carina Lau Ka Ling, Takeru Satoh, and Jimmy O.Yang (Auyeung Man Sing) all appear in the trailer with Mandarin dialogue but no Cantonese dubbing yet. As for whether KUNG FU SOCCER will be available in Cantonese, the film company has not released any information. Online reviews for the film have been polarizing. Some online after watching the film in he mainland blasted it, citing that the special effects in the film seemed to be created by "backwater" AI. Yet some also praised the plot as thoughtful and the casting top notch. Reportedly the Hong Kong and Macau release has been delayed in order to avoid direct confrontation with director Christopher Nolan's new film ODYSSEY and the Tom Holland starred SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY. Solely responsible for the Hong Kong poster, Choi Si Bui has been promoting the show on social media for days. She first posted that KUNG FU SOCCER would open in the mainland starting July 11st, and bought a ticket alone to watch the 9 a.m. early show. She described her happiness, she got teary eyed as she was about to enter the theater. 'I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know how it would be. I am so happy to see the earliest show. I tried to recall what I filmed last year. This secret project can finally be released. It wrapped up production last July, and I still haven't calmed down yet. Being able to make a Sing Yeh movie feels like a dream.' Choi Si Bui uploaded several photos from her daily life during the filming of KUNG FU SOCCER, including receiving guidance from Chow Sing Chi, sitting by the sea eating rice boxes, training at the gym, and filming action scenes that left her covered in scars. Many were on her hands, and her finger injuries requiring stents and her lower back and hind legs needing physical therapy. Choi Si Bui also livestreamed to interact with people online, using both text and images to teach how to say the character name 'Double 8' in Cantonese. She jokingly asked people online, 'Do you understand?' Currently in mainland China, Chow Sing Chi has been out with a group of actors to thank the audience for several days. At a theater in Chengdu, a Shaw Brothers graduate and the first generation "Kwok Ching" Pai Piao showed his support. Pai Piao stood up in the audience and greeted Chow Sing Chi in Cantonese: "Sing Yeh, how are you!" Chow Sing Chi waved happily and said, "Brother Biao, Brother Biao, how are you! Brother Biao is our elder. Has anyone watched the TV dramas starring him? I was a fan of his back then, yes! Finally, there is someone......who can say I grew up watching his work. I'm so grateful that you appeared here." This drew laughter from the entire audience. Pai Piao highly praised KUNG FU SOCCER, "Every female lead performs very well and gives it her all. This movie is really great, isn't it!' The entire audience responded enthusiastically. Pai Piao acted as the "promotional ambassador," encouraging the audience to attend two or three times. In Hengzhou yesterday Sing Yeh talked about his lack of expertise in telling a story from a female perspective, so this time he had to give special thanks to the two leads Zhang Xiaofei and Dilraba. He humbly said that he received a lot of advice from them. "They would say, 'Director, girls don't talk like this', or for some action they would say, 'Director you are overthinking it, girls wouldn't be like this'. They have been greatly helpful to me." He also praised Dilraba for having a knack for action and performance. "She actually had very little time to train. Because our production progress is relatively fast, even for highly difficult stunts she would hit the mark very precisely and complete them very well. Every performance actually has been a pleasant surprise. Often I have to ask for another, but actually it is already great. However I feel that she definitely would come up with something even more special." The "Sing Girls" have been strongly helping with the promotion as well. MERMAID's Kitty Zhang Yuqi booked private screenings to treat her employees to watch KUNG. Sing Yeh's CJ7 (CHEUNG GONG 7 HO) "son" Xu Jiao appeared at the Hengzhou stop of the tour and hid in the audience to give a thoughtful surprise to "Papa". * (2026/07/15) The death of the Chinese-language film "Gold Medal Producer" Shi Nansun has written a heavy stroke for the Hong Kong film industry. She firmly stood in the film circle for more than 40 years, produced and planned more than 60 films in her life. She was not only the mainstay of Hong Kong film production, but also an important promoter of Hong Kong films to the world. From the romantic fantasy of A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SIN NUI YAU WON) to the martial arts heroics of the ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA (WONG FEI HUNG) film series, then to the cop and robber classic of INFERNAL AFFAIRS (MO GAN DOH), she has laid the foundation of the golden age for Hong Kong film with a unique vision and perseverance. She fought side by side with Tsui Hark, and they were hailed as the "golden couple" in the film industry as they worked together to create countless classics. The heroic contribution of this film industry heroine would always remain in the light and shadow of the screen and become a bright memory of Hong Kong movies. Shi Nansun passed away on July 13 at 8:51 p.m. at the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital from multiple organ failure due to bacterial infection. She was 75. Ex-husband Tsui Hark met with the media outside the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital at 11:30 that night. A teary eyed Tsui Hark revealed that Shi Nansun's health has not been as ideal due to immune system problems. Recently bacterial infection caused serious failure of multiple organs, but she persisted until the last moment of life and in the company of her family peacefully passed away. Tsui Hark said, "She and her family have always been grateful for everyone's concern, support and blessing. She hoped that everyone's parting with her, that kind of sadness and thought, would become a force to accept her farewell. May she rest in peace, her spirit will always be with us." When asked if Shi Nansun had any last wish, Tsui Hark did not answer, got on the vehicle and left the hospital. Born in 1951, after graduating from Maryknoll College she briefly traveled to South Africa then went to study in the UK and earned a bachelor's degree in computer statistics. She returned to Hong Kong in the 1970s to join the media industry, working in production and administration on TVB, RTHK, CTV and RTV. With her proficiency in multiple languages and her excellent public relations skills, she quickly emerged. From the 1990s to the early 2000s, she helped several companies obtain television business licenses and develop the paid TV business. In the 1980s the "New Wave" arose, Shi Nansun switched from TV to film, joined the Cinema City and became the only woman among the "Seven Eccentrics of Cinema City". With a keen business vision and decisiveness, she was responsible for capital scheduling, contract negotiation and global distribution and was known as the "housekeeper" in the industry. Under her promotion, Hong Kong-made films successfully entered the Asian, European and American markets and launched the golden age of Hong Kong films. In 1984, she co-founded the "Film Workshop Co., Ltd." with Tsui Hark, who led the creative side while she was responsible for administration, financing, distribution and publicity. The two collaborated closely to create a number of classics. In the Millennium, she became vice president of Media Asia Films and produced the box office masterpiece INFERNAL AFFAIRS. She then founded Distribution Workshop that was dedicated to training new directors in Asia and promoting the work to the international community. She also served as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Bona Film Group, and produced a number of works such as OVERHEARD 2 (SIT TING FUNG WON 2), THE GREAT MAGICIAN, (TOH JEH), and the DETECTIVE DEE (DIK YUN KIT) film series. Shi Nansun also appeared in international Film Festivals like Berlin and Cannes on behalf of Chinese-language films, serving as a member of the jury member and president, and has won many awards. In 2017 she became the first female producer to win the Gold Camera Award at the Berlin International Film Festival in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the film industry. She has also won the Udine Far East Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award and the French Art and Literary Officer's Medal. Last year, she and Tsui Hark were awarded the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards for Lifetime Achievement. The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism of the HKSAR Government, Ms. Rosanna Law Shuk Pui, mourned the passing of Shi Nansun and extended her deep condolences to her family. Law Shuk Pui said that Shi Nansun dedicated her life to the film and television industry, leaving valuable memories of light and shadow for the people of Hong Kong, and she would be forever missed for her extraordinary contribution to the Hong Kong film and television industry . From 2007 to 2015, Shi Nansun was appointed by the Government as a member of the Hong Kong Film Development Council. The Cultural, Sports and Tourism Bureau statement praised Ms. Shi for her contribution to the long-term development of the Hong Kong film industry. The statement also said that from 2013 to 2019, Shi Nansun was appointed by the Government as a member of the Hong Kong Tourism Development Council, and she provided valuable advice for the promotion of Hong Kong tourism with her extensive networking and professional planning experience in the international film industry. The statement mentioned that Shi Nansun was invited to serve as a member of the jury members and presidents of major international film festivals over the years, received many local and international awards in recognition of her international vision and excellent marketing ability, and made a significant contribution to the promotion of Hong Kong films to the international film industry. Many friends in the circle also posted eulogy to mourn Shi Nansun. A close friend of Shi Nansun, Brigitte Lin (Lam Ching Ha) posted on the social platform a black and white life photos of them in the past and wrote, "Reluctant, reluctant, but still have to let go. As a good friend of Shi Nansun, the best reward for her was to pass on the energy of love like her." Jackie Chan shared a photo of the two on social media and wrote, "I was shocked to hear that Ms. Shi Nansun was gone, and the film world lost another legendary figure. Fortunately, no matter when you look back, behind those classic works, everyone would remember her heroics and strength of character. Big Sister, have a safe journey. I salute you, and would always miss you." Carina Lau Ka Ling posted a black-and-white photo with Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Shi Nansun on the Internet. "I am grateful to have met you in this life, and learning countless wisdom from you. You are the most respected representative of female and filmmaker of Tony and I, may you rest in peace in heaven." Donnie Yen Chi Tan expressed, "Nansun, you have burned out all your life for film, and we will meet again in the light and shadow. Only the endless nostalgia will remain." Shu Qi wrote a short tribute with "Have a safe journey."; Zhou Xun posted, "See you later. Love you." Li Bingbing said, "I was shocked to hear the bad news, as your voice and smile remained. I will always miss you! May you have a safe journey..." Song Jia also remembered, "I have the privilege to work with you in the New Talent Award jury of the Shanghai Film Festival. Every morning we got up early to watch the films, I was always a mess but I remember that you were always beautiful, exquisite and decent in front of everyone, as the chair of the jury you were humble and gentle, competent, elegant to the utmost. Sister Nansun, have a safe journey." Winnie Yu Tsang visited Shi Nansun for several days while she was at the hospital. She posted her photo with Shi Nansun on social platforms and shared a video of her talk about YUKULELE at the Academy of Performing Arts in April. In it Shi Nansun showed her support in the audience. Yu Tsang said on the stage, "I have helped many movies with promotional packaging, I want to thank Ms. Shi Nansun for giving me the opportunity to come in contact with how to market, how to make her originally very success work even better! Nansun, thank you very much! Ms. Shi Nansun is the first heroine of Chinese film." Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) recalled, "Back then Master Lau (Lau Kar Leung) caught severe pneumonia while making SEVEN SWORDS (CHUT GIM) and needed to immediately return to Hong Kong for treatment. During the process, Shi Nansun was the one who kept in contact with me, kept comforting me so I was able to get over this difficult time. I will miss you always." Shi Nansun over 20 years hosted the Commercial Radio program ON A CLEAR DAY, Yuen Tsz Kin was the program production assistant. Yesterday on the program he shared with Michelle Lo Mik Suet his time with Shi Nansun. Yuen Tsz Kin described Shi Nansun as a "water that benefits everything without doing any harm", he was able to sense his elder's skills inside. She was gentle and clear with her directions. Lo Mik Suet has known Shi Nansun for years and said that although she was a "foreign educated girl", she was just as great in Chinese. She seemed to have super powers as she was able to handle any and everything. She visited Shi Nansun at home once and knew that Shi would train her foreign domestic helper to cook international level cuisine. "She was both pretty and talented that people would submit to her. Her friendliness wouldn't make people afraid yet know to yield." Lo Mik Suet said Shi Nansun was very filial. When Mother Shi had dementia and would only be the most alert while playing mahjong, Shi Nansun made a schedule with her family to play mahjong with Mother. She was never absent. Yik Shu wrote essays about Nansun in her collection. "She (Shi Nansun) is a super special effect silver screen color epic that takes years to make with heart and blood", "Anything ordinary or monotonous through her narration would immediately appear in front of your eyes vividly." Some said that Shi Nansun was whom Yik Shu based her female protagonist Chiang Nan Suen in LAST ROMANCE (LAU GUM SHUI YUET) on. Shi Nansun's dedication was even more admirable. She already signed a consent form to donate organs for medical research. She devoted her life to the film and television industry, and once said, "Selfless contribution, without any complaints, any doubt, doing one thing well for a lifetime, I think everyone should reflect on this." Shi Nansun's "best partner" on the road of life had to be the director Tsui Hark. In 1977 Shi Nansun met Tsui Hark at Commercial Television. During her interview she recalled that Tsui Hark was extremely thin when they first met. She said bluntly, "He's like a Vietnamese refugee." Known each other for half a century, this Hong Kong film industry "golden couple" self-organized formed the Film Workshop, made A BETTER TOMORROW (YING HUNG BOON SIK), A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SIN NUI YAU WON), the ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA (WONG FEI HUNG) film series, THE SWORDSMAN II (SIU NGO GONG WU II DONG FONG BUT BAI) and other classics. In 1996 the two married and did not have any children. Shi Nansun could not have been more attentive to Tsui Hark, privately even calling him "Old Master". Unfortunately this marriage that was the envy of many lasted only 18 years. Tsui Hark once publicly praised Shi Nansun as "always the best woman". Later Tsui Hark was working in the mainland long tern and geography kept the couple apart. In 2011 Tsui Hark was said to have hooked up with a female assistant 30 years his junior and in 2014 Shi Nansun finally admitted that she and Tsui Hark were divorced. She stressed that she did not have any ill word toward Tsui Hark, only said that "What happened between two people have nothing to do with the third party". Despite that, the two were always the best partner in their careers. After the divorce, Shi Nansun still served as a producer for her ex- husband's DETECTIVE DEE (DIK YUN KIT) and showed a deep relationship of professional collaboration. Tsui Hark once said, "Of course (Shi Nansun) is a person with high administrative ability. Without her, you will feel empty." He also said that she let him see many possibilities in life. Shi Nansun said, "I really learned a lot from one person -- my ex-husband Director Tsui Hark." Over the years Shi Nansun continued to search for new faces with potential in the film industry and has made stars such as Brigitte Lin (Lam Ching Ha), Maggie Cheung Man Yuk and Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing to the world. When Cheung Man Yuk was still working as a sales clerk in the children's clothing department of a department store, director Yonfan discovered her and recommended her. Shi Nansun recalled, "I still remember the first time she came to see me. With her rabbit buck teeth, cheerful character, not a typical beauty but has quite the aura." Shi Nansun strongly recommended her to director Dean Shek Tin, who was preparing to make the film CHASING GIRLS (JUI NUI JAI). Yet at the time Shek Tin did not think she was pretty enough and turned her down. Although Shi Nansun was angry, she was helpless. Later Cheung Man Yuk said that she wanted to participate in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, Shi Nansun immediately supported and encouraged her. "Go quickly, this is a shortcut to fame." Sure enough, she was the Miss Hong Kong first runner-up. The directors finally woke up like they were dreaming, and chased Shi Nansun to find Cheung Man Yuk for films. The late superstar Cheung Kwok Wing also regarded Shi Nansun as "Sister." Raymond Wong Pak Ming once revealed that when Cheung Kwok Wing recommended himself for A BETTTER TOMRROW but Tsui Hark rejected him. He immediately turned to Shi Nansun, and finally successfully won the classic role of "Sung Chi Kit". This respect not only stayed in words, but also showed in action -- in 1994 Cheung Kwok Wing gave the commemorative red high heels to Shi Nansun after the concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom in 1994. To be able to receive such a cherished gift from Cheung Kwok Wing, it showed the important position of Shi Nansun in his heart. She only wore the gift once and then properly added it to her collection. In addition, when Tsui Hark was preparing the film A CHINESE GHOST STORY he intended for Japanese star Akina Nakamori to play the lead role of "Lip Siu Sin". However some said that his invitation was rejected repeatedly and the casting was stuck in the muck. At the time rising star Joey Wong Cho Yin offered her services. At first Shi Nansun felt that her sunny disposition was in contrast of the female ghost image and declined her request for an audition, but Wong Cho Yin did not give up and continued to fight for the chance to audition. Finally she surprised the entire team and became an overnight success with the role. She sincerely thanked Shi Nansun. Shi Nansun and Brigitte Lin (Lam Ching Ha) met in the 1980s, she contributed to Lam Ching Ha's development from Taiwan to Hong Kong to complete the role transformation. Later they collaborated on the filming of the martial arts film ZU: WARRIORS FROM THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN (SHOOK SHAN) and THE SWORDSMAN II (SIU NGO GONG WU II DONG FONG BUT BAI), which made them close friends who supported each other for more than half a century. They presented lifetime achievement awards to each other at film festivals. Lam Ching Ha in her book "In Front of and Behind the Mirror" detailed her relationship with Shi Nansun. Her avant-garde character and independent image impressed her, as she revealed her side. "People who don't know Shi Nansun perhaps would feel that she is unattainable, difficult to get close to. If you enter into her inner world, you would not be able to imagine her inner tenderness and feelings -- which is exactly the opposite as her cool appearance. She has a set of unique martial arts, as long as she is in the mood she would imitate the broadcasting accent of the German, Singapore, India, the mainland and the Hong Kong flight attendants in English. Coupled with the usual action and expression of various countries, the performance is exquisite. Every time she would attract table and chair slapping laughter, and for decades it has been tried and true. This is her sacred scroll." "Shi Nansun cared for the society and sympathized with the disadvantaged groups, participated in many public welfare activities, and also served as vice chair of the (Josephine) Siao Fong Fong founded End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation. It is easy to like a friend, respect a good friend is not very common. With Nansun it is beyond respect from me, especial when I heard that she signed the consent form and decided to donate her organs for medical research, and then turned into soil to nourish the growth of flowers and trees. She dedicated her love to Tsui Hark, her intelligence to the film industry and the general public, and would not hesitate to dedicate her body to the earth and the universe in the future." Tsui Hark in 1980 went to the U.S. to invite Lam Ching Ha to return to Hong Kong to make ZU. When Lam Ching Ha first arrived in Hong Kong she was a stranger in a strange land, and Shi Nansun volunteered to help her negotiate many film contracts. Lam Ching Ha wrote a letter with a check to thank her. Shi Nansun only accepted the letter, returned the check and stated that she did not ask for anything in return for helping a friend. Lam Ching Ha remembered these words for over 40 years. Later when Lam Ching Ha wed Ying Lee Yuen, their witnesses were Shi Nansun and Tsui Hark. * (2026/07/14) Veteran filmmaker Shi Nansun passed away last night at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital at the age of 75. Her ex-husband Tsui Hark, her family and friends were by her bedside when she passed. "The Film Workshop" issued a statement: "Our most respected Ms. Shi Nansun has been in poor health since 2022 due to immune system issues. In recent months, due to bacterial infections that led to multiple organ failure, she peacefully passed away at 8:51 p.m. on Monday, July 13th, 2026, at the age of 75. Her beloved family and family were by her side, accompanying her through the final chapter of her life. Information regarding the memorial and farewell service will be announced later." Before leaving the hospital at around 11 p.m. last night, Tsui Hark as the representative spoke to the media. He mentioned that Shi Nansun's immune system began to have problems in 2022 and described her as fighting the illness with tenacious vitality. "Recently Shi Nansun's immune system has severely declined. The virus has severely infected her, causing many organ failures. She held on until the very last moment, peacefully passing away surrounded by her friends and family, bidding farewell to everyone. Shi Nansun and her family have always been grateful for everyone's attention, support, and blessings. She hoped that everyone would turn the farewell, sadness, and longing for her into a source of strength and warmth to accept her farewell, wishing her peace and that her spirit will always be with us." Did Shi Nansun have any last words? Tsui Hark did not respond, got into the car and left. Last week, the news broke that Shi Nansun was seriously ill and hospitalized. For days the media had been waiting outside the hospital, as Tsui Hark, Brigitte Lin, Sylvia Chang, and Winnie Yu Tsang visiting her. At the time Tsui Hark told the media that he hoped everyone would respect Shi Nansun and give her time and space to rest. Last year Shi Nansun and Tsui Hark both received the Hong Kong Film Awards for Lifetime Achievement, presented by their friend of over 40 years Brigitte Lin. At that time Shi Nansun was energetic and in excellent condition. A year later when Shi Nansun attended Linda Kuk's funeral in May, she looked thin and somewhat pale. She walked slowly with the support of a cane and help from others. In her early years Shi Nansun worked for Commercial Television and Rediffusion Television. In the early 1980s she entered the film industry and was active in the film industry for over 40 years. In 198, she became the executive director of Cinema City Film Company, forming the 'Cinema City Seven Eccentrics' alongside Karl Maka, Dean Shek Tin, Raymond Wong Pak Ming, Tsui Hark, Eric Tsang Chi Wai, and Teddy Robin Kwan. Shi Nansun excelled in administration, planning, distribution, public relations, and marketing, known for her decisive approach and unique vision; in 1984, she co-founded the Film Workshop with Tsui Hark, producing countless classic films such as 'A BETTER TOMORROW', 'PEKING OPERA BLUES', 'A CHINESE GHOST STORY', 'ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA', and 'THE SWORDSMAN II'. Shi Nansun also brought Hong Kong cinema to the international stage, winning multiple international awards to highlight her achievements. She and Tsui Hark were known as the "golden couple" of the film industry. They married in 1996, a relationship that lasted 18 years. After their divorce, they maintained a friendly relationship. * (2026/07/14) Adapted from the novel "MAN INSIDE THE NET", the new film FOOK SAU DIK YUN (MAN OF VENGEANCE) shot yesterday at a karaoke box, director Herman Yau Lai To and actors Sean Lau Ching Wan, Elizabeth Tang To, Catherine Chau Ka Yee attended. The Emperor boss Albert Yeung Sau Sing came to visit the set. Working for the first time with the Best Actor Lau Ching Wan, this year's Hong Kong Film Awards Best New Performer winner Tang To would play his "employer". She said that she was not nervous during rehearsing with Ching Wan. Instead she felt a sense of peace of mind. Ching Wan said that he did not particularly accommodate the new actors during his performance, thinking that the new actors were very smart. The most important thing was to inspire and communicate with each other. Director Yau Lai To, actor Lau Ching Wan, Tang To, Chau Ka Yee, Valerie Cheung Sum Yi, Carina Li Hei Tung, Arvin Tsang Ngo Fei, Sammy Sum Chun Him, Kenneth Lai Chun and Polly Lau Yuek Bo participated in the filming of the Emperor Motion Picture FOOK SAU DIK YUN yesterday. In the film Lau Ching Wan, Tang To and Chau Ka Yee would develop a relationship triangle in the film. Lau Ching Wan wore a trench coat and looked to be much thinner than before. He pointed out that his weight did not have any drastic swing, it was just the feeling of new look. In this film he played a private investigator Tang To employed to investigate incidents of bullying online and on campus. Recently winning the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best New Performer with GIRLFRIENDS (NUI HAI BUT PING FAN), Tang To worked with the Best Actor Lau Ching Wan for the first time and already played his "employer". Could she casually send Ching Wan on assignment at will? Tang To smiled shyly and said, "We assign each other, but I myself feel nervous for the first few days of production, but I am not nervous when I see him. I have a sense of peace of mind!" Tang To won an award with her first film, and very soon was able to work with the Best Actor. She admitted that the role of the student's sister was a big challenge, so she had also a little anxiety and pressure. Ching Wan smiled and said that he and Tang To only met two days ago. The day before they just shot some of the scenes together. He has not yet commented on this "Best New Performer", but since the director chose her there should be no problem. He said, "She won an award with her first film. I had to make dozens of films before I was nominated!" Ching Wan revealed that this time he no longer needed to play a detective. The role was a very materialistic, money before relationship kind of person, finally from helping to investigate the incident his personal emotions was led out. Would comedic element be added? Lau Ching Wan said, "I wouldn't deliberately try to be funny. I would follow what the director says, if necessary I would add a little humor." His and Tang To's personalities were tough and unyielding, but it would not be like the past masculine films he made. This time he would face the performance of new actors as students, he said that he did not particularly accommodate everyone, because he felt that the new actors were very smart, reacting quickly and sensibly. "So I didn't accommodate everyone. We inspire each other, mutual interaction is the most important." He would welcome everyone to chat and gladly share his experience. Tang To said that before she was in the business she ran into Lau Ching Wan on the street. Was Tang To very scared to face Best Actor Lau Ching Wan? Before Tang To was able to answer, Ching Wan already answered for her, "Hong Kong has many Best Actors, I wouldn't deliberately ask everyone for opinions, I have no opinion. I communicate through the director. Of course, we would also chat, this way we could inspire each other." In addition, referring to Ching Wan and his wife Amy Kwok Oi Ming's recent trip to the mainland, people online praised his wife's radiant beauty. Ching Wan smiled and said, "The camera lens is the beautiful one, and the sun is shining." Did he not think his wife was so beautiful that she was shining? He smiled and said, "I am not at liberty to talk, I don't have to pay the electricity bill then!" As for the first personal concert of his friend Louis Koo Tin Lok, would he be a guest on stage? Ching Wan said that he would not. Because he did not know how to speak or sing, he did not want to mess up other people's business. Chau Ka Yee in the film would play a teacher. She said that her role would mainly shoot with the students, so she would not have many scenes with Ching Wan and she felt sorry about that. Yet when she was not in a scene, she would stay on the set to learn from Ching Wan. For her birthday on the 23rd of this month, she would fly to Malaysia to attend a film festival on the same day. She said that she felt very happy to spend her birthday at work. Sum Chun Hin in the film would play an arrogant lawyer and have scenes with Lau Ching Wan. He remembered that he was a special contract actor when he worked with Lau Ching Wan on POKER KING, but at that time he was just Pedestrian A who was standing behind Ching Wan and Koo Tin Lok. Recently a "car camera" video was circulated on the Internet, and in it seemingly was a dispute between Lui Fong and the driver. Having been a rideshare driver, Sum Chun Hin also forwarded the relevant news on the Internet. He said that he mainly wanted everyone to notice that if something happened, no matter which party was right and wrong, it was not appropriate to release the film for a "public trial"; which was equivalent to revenge. This behavior would affect young people, let them mistakenly think that if they could not win an "argument", they could put the video on the Internet to let others "judge" to avenge themselves. "This way is very bad though. No wonder who is right or wrong, just let it go after the argument is over." Speaking of his time as a driver, he believed that personal attitude was very important. Any and all parties could be a little more tolerant. When he was a driver was he gentle with his passengers? He joked that don't judge him just by his looks, actually he was very gentle at any time. When asked if he had a very unreasonable passenger, he said, "I believe in the law of attraction. What kind of attitude you have will attract what kind of people to you." He said that he would often encounter difficult guests, so he had to try to keep his mood as good as possible. Everything could be resolved. Hazel Lam Hei Tung earlier was caught with Gareth.T (Tong Ling Shan) on the street and was thus linked in rumors. Yesterday she worked on the film FOOK SAU DIK YUN and was asked about her date. She avoided the topic, only said that she has known Tong Ling Shan for awhile and thought he was humorous. Was he her ideal type? Hazel pointed out that she never had a specific ideal type. As for future development opportunities, she said that she did not know because she has not think about it seriously. Now she would spend all her time on the script. Tong Ling Shan would perform at the Hong Kong Coliseum. She revealed that she has congratulated to him, but has not been invited to enjoy the performance. It would not take place until six months later anyway, and she has not made any plan to go to support the show. Regarding the film FOOK SAU DIK YUN, Hazel and VIVA members Valerie Cheung Saum Yi (ValC) and Carina Li Hei Tung all would play secondary school students, they did not feel anything wrong with that. ValC said that after dyeing her hair back to black, everyone said that she became younger; as for each person wearing school uniforms for the performance, she joked that she felt like a gifted student. Elder Lau Ching Wan revealed that he also wanted to interact with young actors, among them only ValC had scenes with Ching Wan. Yet on the day of the costume fitting, they also greeted Ching Wan. At work they had the opportunity to stand on the sideline and learn. Hazel also pointed out that Ching Wan's role was very mysterious, so he really wanted to see how he performed on the set. Carina laughed and said that she did not dare to ask her elders for acting tips because she was afraid that her questions would be too dumb. ValC and Carina became actors, but the two said the girl group Viva woiuld continue to have work. They would rather sacrifice sleep time to be able to sing and make films at the same time. * (2026/07/12) The Stephen Chow Sing Chi written and directed new film KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK) yesterday opened big in the mainland, as of 7 PM last night it exceeded 200 million MB (around HK$ 230 million). Chow Sing Chi's film release after many years has been long anticipated, but the outside reviews of KUNG FU SOCCER have been polarized. Some criticized that the idea was still from over 20 years ago, the dialogue old fashioned, special effects could not compare to his previous film KUNG FU HUSTLE (GONG FU) and internet films, and the term "hard to watch" once landed on hot search; but many online also supported the film as entertaining, praised it as Chow Sing Chi's unique style, and its Maoyan platform rating was 9.4. Chow Sing Chi yesterday thanked the audience with the cast in Tianjin. Facing the passionate audience, he sentimentally said that he worried about not doing a good enough job and failing to live up to everyone's support. He also said that he has always believed that Chinese kung fu was the best in the world, thus Team Emei in this film would definitely blow up the entire world. The Chow Sing Chi film KUNG FU SOCCER from preparation to production has been kept confidential, only after the release date was confirmed the cast as announced. Starring Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba and Lay Zhang Yixing, with special performance from Lau Ka Ling and Japanese star Takeru Satoh, the film also included Sisley Choi Si Bui, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, MC Jin (Auyeung Ching), former Chinese women's soccer team player Zhao Lina and Japanese dane group Avantgardey. In the story Team Emei women's soccer team fused traditional kung fu into modern soccer to compete in the women's soccer "Ultimate Invincible Cup", overcame bias and strikes against them to win the championship. The film production cost reached 380 million RMB (around HK$ 430 million); yesterday its opening box office as of 7 PM last night surpassed 200 million RMB, over 230,000 shows were scheduled with over 5.79 million viewers. KUNG FU SOCCER was released after long anticipation and immediately triggered passionate online discussion. The reviews fell between extreme responses like "laughing from the beginning to the end" and "like lying on a bed of nails". The term "hard to watch" once reached the second most searched online. Many online commented that KUNG FU SOCCER's story was old fashioned, the comedy awkward. A lot of the entire film used green screen production computer special effects, which could not compare to KUNG FU HUSTLE (GONG FU) over 20 years ago and internet movies. Some even pointed out that the acting was superfluous, and the performance came on too strong and hard. However some supported it as entertaining, saying "Chow Sing Chi is still Chow Sing Chi" and displaying his unique nonsensical comedy style. "Chow Sing Chi's comedy would never just be absurd comedy, after explanation you would see a lot of satire and metaphors in its designs." Away from the public eye for a long time, Chow Sing Chi yesterday along with KUNG FU SOCCER's actors Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba, Xue Ye, Aimi and Woo Yu On thanked the auidnece in Tianjin. Facing the passionate audience, he thanked them for their support and sentimentally said, "I feel a little ashamed, sometimes I would always feel I haven't done good enough, very afraid of failing to live up to everyone's support." Chow Sing Chi talked about Chinese kung fu. "Thank you Chinese kung fu is the best in the world, this has always been my belief. So in my heart, I feel Team Emei would certainly blow up the entire world." The host told him to turn his back to the audience and then said, "We would always stand behind you." Chow Sing Chi was greatly touched. Dilraba was said to have gained 8 catty (around 4.9 kilograms) for KUNG FU SOCCER. She clarified that she did not. "Earlier I saw a report that said 16 catty (around 9.76 kilograms). I was afraid that after two days it would become 32 catty (20 kilograms). I didn't gain weight, only in order to increase coordination between limbs, I did muscle gaining personal fitness training. Another internet rumor that her ankles were swollen, which was also false. Because if they were swollen they would not be good for the movie." Dilraba said that the team was very professional, the director's protection of the actors was very professional and appropriate. Chow Sing Chi revealed that Dilraba got tanned during the shoot. "She contributed. Her acting is truly good. In addition as a great beauty, being tanned is a very serious matter." Dilraba replied, "Great beauties still look good with a tan." As for when KUNG FU SOCCER would open in Hong Kong, so far no announcement has been made. Chow Sing Chi's KUNG FU SOCCER opened in the mainland yesterday, while its Hong Kong release date awaited announcements. One of the reporters watched the film in Shenzhen yesterday and the following contains spoilers. KUNG FU SOCCER's story revolved around passion, pursuit of dreams, love a friends, but with the "Hong Kong style nonsense" that Hong Kong viewers have been looking forward to. Every female character was pretty, none would made ugly. The film also saluted past films several times, and included 3 major Easter eggs to provide "Sing fans" a little comfort. Aside from carrying Chow Sing Chi's golden label and starring Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba and Zhang Yixing, KUNG FU SOCCER also included Carina Lau Ka Ling, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Jimmy O Yang (Au Yeung Man Sing), MC Jin (Auyeung Ching), Japanese star Takeru Satoh and Japanese dance group Avantgarde. The cast line up was strong, which also meant that the stars had limited screen time. Lau Ka Ling played the Team Emei coach, almost every time she appeared she was playing mahjong and did not do much. In the film she was considered a spiritual leader. Cheung Kai Chung played an official in one of the games but did not have any eye catching performance; Jimmy O. Yang as a match staff member and MC Jin as the opening ceremony host could be said to be "happy to be there". Avantgarde played the warm up guests of the finales, did not have much screen time. Takeru Satoh played the rival team coach and had many lines, mainly he sold his handsome look. Lead actresses Zhang Xiaofei and Dilraba in order to play the perfect women's soccer spirit accepted intense training. They played convincingly in the film and met their requirement in both action and acting. Zhang Yixing's performance was a surprise. Completely dropping his "idol baggage", he demonstrated his funny side. Aside from the plaza dancing, his face was swollen from Zhang Xiaofei's Iron Sand Palm and he drooled as he spoke. It became the scene with the most laughter in the entire film. New actor Xue Ye was said to be the new generation "Sing Girl" after MERMAID's Jelly Lin Yun 8 years ago. Her character used her real name and was a light on her feet reserved player. With the former child star Aimi and the goalkeeper Ni Hao, youth ruled the day. The trio with the mainland actor responsible for comedy Angel Woo Yu On and Hong Kong representative Sisley Choi Si Bui all had their names under the "special introduction" credit. Originally Choi Si Bui was only arranged to play the team doctor with sunglasses. She would only frequently hit the wrong person and did not have the chance to play. Later she was named the second reserve goalkeeper and had to play at a critical moment. The scene in which she caught the opponent's shot with one hand was very eye catching. Seeming she was no lower in position than Xue Ye in the heart of Chow Sing Chi. KUNG FU SOCCER did not add Chow Sing Chi's "Hong Kong style nonsense", which perhaps would disappoint some viewers. However with special effects and AI technology maturing, the soccer scenes were even more exciting and intense than SHAOLIN SOCCER and were able to bring about special technique scenes like the animation CAPTAIN TSUBASA. Chow Sing Chi's film's unique style could not be hard to see from watching the movie in detail: the film opened with the BUDDHA'S PALM music, the two female leads quoting Bruce Lee, "Be Water, My Friend", the scene in which the fat child actor was made fun of, the use of Sally Yeh's BAFFLED as background music, all of which have appeared in his previous films. In addition "Team Emei"'s jersey in the finals were the same as "Team Shaolin". 3 major Easter eggs provided surprises to "Sing fans". The KING OF COMEDY "first love" scum of the century who forced "Lau Piu Piu" Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi into prostitution, Steven Fung Min Hung with the same look reprised this classic scene with Angel Woo Yu On. Chow Sing Chi was suspected of personally performing two more scenes with his back to the camera. First he appeared as KING OF COMEDY's Wan Tin Sau, holding the classic book AN ACTOR PREPARES to teach the players acting; near the end of the film Fourth Brother "Ghost Hand" Chan Kwok Kwan, Sixth Brother Lam Tsz Chung and Fifth Brother Chow Sing Chi from SHAOLIN SOCCER appeared in the audience with their back to the camera. Chan Kwok Kwan praised "Team Emei", "They have real skills." Lam Tsz Chung immediately turned to the side and asked Chow Sing Chi, who was wearing the sneakers "Ah Mui" Vicki Zhao Wei mended for him. "Brother, what do you think?" Chow Sing Chi answered, "Then let's play them once." * (2026/07/11) Veteran filmmaker Shi Nansun has recently been reported to be seriously ill and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital. Several friends from the industry visited him but did not disclose Shi Nansun's condition. The day before yesterday Shi Nansun's ex-husband Tsui Hark, Sylvia Chang, and someone suspected to be Brigitte Lin visited her in the hospital. At that time, Tsui Hark told the media that he hoped to respect Ms. Shi and give her time and space to rest. Yesterday Tsui Hark visited the hospital again and left around 1 p.m. Wearing a baseball cap and mask, Tsui Hark looked exhausted but still paused briefly to accept media interviews. He revealed the latest updates on his ex-wife. When asked if Shi Nansun's condition was okay, he immediately nodded and said, "She is still under observation!" When asked if the situation was ideal, he said, "It will take some time." Then he left. * (2026/07/11) "King of Comedy" Stephen Chow Sing Chi secretly signed the new "Sing Girl" Xue Ye. Always regarded as the company's "top secret", he spent a full year to choose her from 10,000 people, and arranged for her to hold a major role in the summer vacation blockbuster KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK). She will develop in both music and film. Today for the first time she met with the media! Xue Ye yesterday revealed the interesting interview process of Chow Sing Chi few knew about, and how during the arduous shooting process she and stars Zhang Xiaofei and Dilraba supported each other. Chow Sing Chi has never missed so the years, making many "Sing Girls" into stars in movies. In addition to the debut of Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi back then, in the past Eva Huang Shengyi, Kitty Zhang Yuqi and Jelly Lin Yun signed with him and changed from amateurs to entertainment circle new stars. After Lin Yun left the nest in 2023, Chow Sing Chi has always wanted to sign a potential newcomer and even publicly recruited actors for the new film KUNG FU SOCCER. He took more than a year and finally selected from 10,000 people the 19-year- old Xue Ye. Still in school, she will enter the Central Academy of Drama this year with an unlimited future. Xue Ye accounted for a lot of the film, but Chow Sing Chi in order to maintain the mystery has been "hiding" her. Even though the official announcement of the new film cast had her name, he would never let her appearance be exposed. The social account until yesterday did not have a photo. She only officially appeared today with Chow Sing Chi, Zhang Xiaofei and Dilraba in Tianjin to attend the film promotional campaign! Actually Xue Ye was not caught during the big recruitment, but was discovered by Chow Sing Chi's team during her trip to Hong Kong with her parents. She was Even worried about the offer being fraudulent at first, after repeated verification by her parents she finally came to Hong Kong for an interview. Chow Sing Chi personally served as an "interviewer", and even had more special requirements in advance. Xue Ye said, "I remember before the first casting, they asked me to record a running video. I recorded many times, after recording they said I wasn't fast enough then I recorded again; the kind of fast from running with all my might." She later came to Hong Kong to meet Chow Sing Chi and his team. She said that because Chow Sing Chi did not speak much and wore a mask during the audition, she once failed to recognize him. She also said that the first interview question was quite interesting. "The first time I saw the director (Chow Sing Chi), he let me dance a little Latin dance. He asked me if I could. I said I have never learned it. He said it's okay, you dance a little. Then I blindly dance a piece of Latin dance and I felt the whole place wet cold, haha!" She eventually got the contract signing opportunity and a part in the film. She was hesitant at first, because she was worried that she would not perform well, but her father was Chow Sing Chi fan and constantly encouraged her to participate in the shoot. She felt that the opportunity was rare and decided to give it a try. Chow Sing Chi has been known to be serious, was she yelled at on the set? Xue Ye said, "He isn't mean on the set, he is very funny and cute, but also patient. Often for a desired expression or action, he will demonstrate for us over and over again." In the film, she has a lot of scenes with Zhang Xiaofei and Dilraba. Speaking of the two elders, Xue Ye had nothing but praise, "Both sisters are very nice, and also take great care of me. The most impressive thing is that the first time I met with Sister Zhang Xiaofei, we practiced together in the gym. We practiced the action of playing off our chests, I didn't play well enough and carelessly hit my nose. I was in so much pain that I cried. Sister Xiaofei immediately rushed to hold me, and we hugged each other. Then with Sister Raba, we would share snacks with each other on the set and also discuss what snacks are delicious. She is very friendly." Xue Ye could sing and dance, after signing the contract she was arranged to have a series of acting and singing training. This year she will release her first song and implement the double development in music and film. In an interview recently Dilraba said that she never thought of the opportunity to participate in the performance, and frankly said that playing a role in a women's football team is a great challenge for her. Thus she is fully prepared for this before hand. "I told the director that I would complete the physical training before joining the production, so that I can have a more sense of strength in the action scene." The Stephen Chow Sing Chi written and directed new film KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK) has been highly anticipated and premiered in mainland China today. As of 7 PM last night, its advanced sales box office had surpassed 70 million RMB (about HK$ 80.91 million), breaking the advanced sales box office record for summer films in mainland China over the past three years. Yesterday the latest trailer released more movie content, featuring Golden Rooster Best Actress Zhang Xiaofei and Dilraba Dilmurat performing ultimate ball skills combined with special effects on the field, as well as special footage of Carina Lau Ka Ling and Japanese actor Takeru Satoh. A video has also surfaced online showing Chow Sing Chi sitting side by side with Wong Yat Fei, who plays the eldest brother in SHAOLIN SOCCER. The two were once rumored to have at odd, and people online are eagerly anticipating Wong Yat Fei's comeback. KUNG FU SOCCER stars Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba Dilmurat, and Lay Zhang Yixing, with special appearances by Carina Lau Ka Ling and Takeru Satoh. The cast also includes Sisley Choi Si Bui, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, MC Jin (Auyeung Ching), former Chinese national team player Zhao Lina, and the Japanese dance troupe Avantgardey. The story follows the arrival of the quadrennial soccer pinnacle event, the "Supreme Invincible Cup." Zhang Xiaofei and Dilraba's Team Emei is strong and confident on the pitch; but every strong opponent is highly skilled, with all sides unleashing their ultimate moves, making the court bustle with excitement. In the latest trailer that is about 1 minute and 30 seconds long, you can see Zhang Xiaofei as the captain Shuangshuang, and Dilraba as forward Yulong, dressed in sportswear, starting from an internal fight and insulting each other to unite as one. They had the line, 'Kung fu plus soccer, you have to win 100%, 1000% can win, 10000% can win.' On the field she performed the 'Beautiful Eyes' and 'Momentum Shot' techniques, with special effects such as launching the ball into the air to make a plane evade, and Zhang Xiaofei with help from a teammate to shoot the ball mid-air. There was also a funny scene where Dilraba committed a rough foul and surprisingly took away a red card from referee Cheung Kai Chung; she also danced with Zhang Xiaofei to disrupt the opponents, leaving Takeru Satoh. In the video Carina Lau Ka Ling says in Cantonese, "Stay calm!" KUNG FU SOCCER has been considered a sequel to Stephen Chow's classic film SHAOLIN SOCCER (SIU LUM JOOK KAU). Playing the eldest brother in that film, Wong Yat Fei was rumored to have returned to Chow Sing Chi's team; reuniting after 23 years and dispelling long- standing rumors of discord. A video of Chow Sing Chi and Wong Yat Fei has surfaced online, showing them sitting side by side in a harmonious atmosphere. Wong Yat Fei wore red traditional Chinese clothing, wearing a beads bracelet, watch, ring, and jade bracelet. Chow Sing Chi wore a hat and mask. When the two got excited from talking, they even animatedly waved their arms and legs. Chow Sing Chi even pointed at the watch and ring on Wong Yat Yat Fei. The video was dubbed with the classic line, "Big Brother is back, I feel like everything is back," evoking memories online. Chow Sing Chi and Wong Yat Fei worked together on SHAOLIN SOCCER (SIU LUM JOOK KAU). Wong Yat Fei won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actor for this role, but later was rumored that they had a falling out while filming the 'bottle busting' scene. Some said that Chow Sing Chi for realism had Wong Yat Fei repeatedly hit on the head with sugar wine bottle and injured him. Wong Yat Fei once publicly criticized Chow Sing Chi's drastic change in attitude after rising to fame, but in recent years his stance has clearly softened. In interviews he praised Chow Sing Chi as a 'genius,' saying that without the harsh tests of the past, he wouldn't have achieved his later success. Chow Sing Chi's long-prepared film KUNG FU SOCCER would finally be released. Yesterday he posted on social media, 'See you tomorrow.' Sisley Choi Si Bui commented under his post, "Here Comes Team Emei!" * (2026/07/10) Recently 74-year-old veteran filmmaker Shi Nansun was reported to be seriously ill and receiving treatment in the hospital. Yesterday her ex-husband Tsui Hark, Sylvia Chang Ai Chia, and someone suspected to be Brigitte Lin visited her at the hospital; but no one disclosed Shi Nansun's condition. Tsui Hark told the media that he hoped everyone would respect Shi Nansun and give her space to rest and heal; Sylvia Chang said she would inform Shi Nansun of the media's concerns. After Shi Nansun and Tsui Hark received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards last April, she rarely appeared in public. The most recent appearance was in May at the funeral of her late friend Linda Kuk. She was much thinner, carrying a cane and walking slowly with help from others. Shi Nansun reportedly fell seriously ill and was receiving treatment at the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital. Friends from the entertainment circle, such as Sylvia Chang and Winnie Yu Tsang, visited her at the hospital. Yu Tsang was photographed at the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital the day before yesterday. When asked if she has visited Shi Nansun and whether she knew about his condition, she did not answer and entered the lobby to wait for the elevator to enter the ward. At around 3:55 p.m. yesterday, Sylvia Chang arrived at the hospital to visit Shi Nansun for two consecutive days. Wearing a mask, she saw the media but entered the hospital without stopping. She stayed for about an hour and a half, leaving at 5:30 p.m. accompanied by a foreign security guard. When asked about Shi Nansun's physical condition, she suddenly stopped and said, "What would you like her to be? (We are concerned her recent situation.) You are concerned about her, and I'll tell her about your concern." Then she hurried away. At 5:45 p.m., someone suspected to be Brigitte Lin visited the hospital. She was covered from head and toe, wore a hat, and wore a mask. Shi Nansun's assistant went downstairs to greet her. Later, people waiting in line for the elevator revealed to the media that the woman wearing the hat was Brigitte Lin. Shi Nansun's ex-husband and renowned director Tsui Hark arrived at the hospital around 7 p.m. He originally already entered the lobby to wait for the elevator, but proactively turned back to explain to the media, "Thank you all for your concern. I hope everyone would respects Ms. Shi and gives her time and space to rest and receive treatment. Thank you all for your concern, thank you." (Are you ok?) ) I'm OK." Then he returned to the hospital. John Sham Kin Fun has been longtime friends with Tsui Hark and Shi Nansun. Yesterday his ex-wife Charlene Tse Ning attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the flagship store of her cookie brand. When asked about Shi Nansun's hospitalization, she said she heard from reports. "I feel it isn't good to talk about other people's matters today (yesterday), so I focus on my own shop first. I'm sorry and I hope Shi Nansun recovers soon." When asked whether she would call Tsui Hark to check in? She said she would proactively contact for an understanding of the situation, revealing that she and Shi Nansun have rarely seen each other in recent years, but their relationship remains deep. Known as the "gold label producer," Shi Nansun formed the "Seven Eccentrics of Cinema City" with Tsui Hark in the 1970s and 1980s, alongside Karl Maka, Dean Shek Tin, Raymond Wong Pak Ming, Eric Tsang Chi Wai, and Teddy Robin Kwan. She and Tsui Hark were dubbed the "golden couple" of Hong Kong cinema, making significant contributions to Hong Kong cinema. The two divorced in 2014 but remained close friends, working closely on film and making them a golden partnership. Last year Shi Nansun and Tsui Hark both received the Hong Kong Film Awards for Lifetime Achievement, with their friend of 40 years Brigitte presenting. At that time Shi Nansun was energetic and in excellent condition. Tsui Hark thanked Shi Nansun for her years of supporting the Film Workshop. "Under the wind and rain, she enables a fool like me to let me mind wander inside. Both awards should belong to her." A year later, when Shi Nansun attended Linda Kuk's funeral in May, she looked thin and somewhat pale, supported by a cane and walking slowly. * (2026/07/10) Ling Man Lung, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Peter Chan Charm Man, Ronald Lam Tsz Kit, and Kenny Wong Tak Bun starred together in the absurd comedy film UNIDENTIFIED MURDER (UFO LEI KEI MING ONG). On screen the plot twisted bizarrely, off camera the cast and the crew interacted with sparks flying. Ling Man Lung and Yeung Sze Wing said in an interview that they enjoyed working together, revealing that there were plenty of jokes during filming. Yeung Sze Wing complained about being collectively "bullied", and had to surrender and seek peace. While filming a chase scene in the forest, she got injured and even turned into a doll for Ling Man Lung and Chan Charm Man, with her wheelchair turned into Ling Man Lung's toy. Emerging directors Kwok Ka Hei and Lee Chun Kit teamed up to direct UNIDENTIFIED with a budget of 3 million. Earlier they won the White Mulberry Award for Best First Feature at the Udine Far East Film Festival in Italy, and also received Best Screenplay at the 32nd Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards. UNIDENTIFIED premiered on the 4th of this month and received positive reviews, earning about 1.5 million in total. The film tells the story of the Yeung Sze Wing played internet celebrity Man Man who uses the urban legend of 'aliens abducting humans' to prank her boyfriend Mark (Ling Man Lung), and then gets caught up in a series of bizarre and oddball events. Yeung Sze Wing and Ling Man Lung play a couple in the film and said they enjoyed working together. They had many group scenes with Lam Tsz Kit, Chan Charm Man, and Wong Tak Bun. They work together during filming and often prank each other off-screen, getting along well. Yeung Sze Wing said everyone was naughty and mischievous, saying, "The notebook isn't big enough to list everything." Ling Man Lung revealed that Yeung Sze Wing was very boring, loved to tell rotten gags and was noisy. Lam Tsz Kit led the teasing, pretending ignore Yeung Sze Wing. Yeung Sze Wing ultimately surrendered to them. "After 20 minutes I realized no one was paying attention to me and I became invisible. I was a bit unhappy, so I had to make peace. Actually Lam Tsz Kit normally is noisier than me." Ling Man Lung revealed that the hardworking Wong Tak Bun was a stark contrast off-camera. Rather humorous, he roasted Lam Tsz Kit with a single phrase. Yeung Sze Wing laughed and said, "Tak Bun shared that running in Tibet requires oxygen because the healthier a person is, the more likely they are to experience altitude sickness. At that moment Lam Tsz Kit tried to chat about the glory from his travels. Tak Bun walked over holding a thermos and said to Lam Tsz Kit, 'People like you would X die for sure in Tibet!' It made the whole audience burst into laughter." Chan Charm Man showed his buttocks in the film, and Yeung Sze Wing joked that all the actors gathered in front of the camera to 'admire the moon.' 'Siu Lung (Ling Man Lung) insisted on ruining takes for Chan Charm Man, even the director joked that he wanted to pursue perfection and shoot even better.' Filming a chase scene in the forest was unforgettable for her, as she accidentally slipped and sprained her foot. The next day she insisted on working in a wheelchair. Knowing the directors' budget was limited and they had to strictly control costs, she did her best to cooperate with the shoot. After complaining about the injury, she became a puppet for Ling Man Lung and Chan Charm Man. "Siu Lung pushed my wheelchair down the slope to play with like a car. Chan Charm Man must have studied Chinese medicine. He's very familiar with pressure points, every time he precisely pressed on my ligament. It hurts a lot." When asked if Ling Man Ling and Yeung Sze Wing would play pranks on each other with their lovers in real life? Ling Man Lung said, "I know how to have a little fun, but I don't dare to go too far like I do in acting." Yeung Sze Wing hoped her future husband would not joke too much about the proposal, saying, "I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it, I'll zone out, and won't react in time." Ling Wenlong's ID card was stolen and involved in money laundering cases Ling Man Lung said the biggest prank in his life was years ago when his wallet was stolen, causing a huge uproar and leading to debt and legal disputes. He was still shaken. "My old ID card was used to borrow 300,000 from several banks. I had to go to the police station many times and explain everything to the banks. Luckily nothing happened, and I didn't have to fill in the debts. There were also further issues, involving a money laundering case. Fortunately I produced many police reports for confirmation, only then did the officers believe me. After half a year of entanglement, I felt very frustrated and my mood was terrible." * (2026/07/10) The Stephen Chow Sing Chi directed film that has been under prepared for a long time, KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK), will be officially released on July 11th. Its advanced sales box office broke through 40 million yuan RMB yesterday! The film has not announced which singer would sing the theme song. Some online said that during the preparation of the film, Chow Sing Chi on the social network respectively shared photos with Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun), Mayday's lead singer Ashin and Stefanie Sun Yanzi. Both photos with Chow Kit Lun and Ashin had a soccer ball, which was interpreted as hidden collaboration mystery. Some people speculated that they would sing the theme song of the film, the end credit song and the side track. Actually as early as 2004, when Chow Sing Chi directed and starred in the film KUNG FU HUSTLE (GONG FU), he has already considered using Jay Chou's songs on the movie soundtrack, but in the end he did not. When Jay shared a photo of them before, he wrote: "Are music and kung fu viable?" It was regarded by the outside world as an official collaboration promotion to make up for the regret from back then. * (2026/07/09) The Emperor Motion Pictures' 2024 release, THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) has surpassed HK$ 170 million at the box office to become the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in the history of Hong Kong film. It has even won five awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards. This year the original team "returned" to begin production on the new film "1971" (tentative title), and invited the Berlin Best Actor, the "Game of Thrones" Iain Glen as a surprise addition; recently a production start ceremony took place and attendees included the chairman of the Emperor Group chair Albert Yeung Sau Sing, director Anselm Chan Mou Yin, Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Michael Hui Koon Man, Michelle Wai Sze Nga, Iain Glen, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Tommy Chu Pak Hong, Alex Fong Chung Shun, Philip Ng Wan Lung and so on. The film would be Director Chan Mou Yin personally written all new story, focusing on the historical turning point of Hong Kong's official establishment of monogamy in 1971, as well as the humanity and emotional interweaving of the changing times. He said, "After THE LAST DANCE, I always wanted to make a film set in the 1950s and 60s; so the team and I worked hard to find interesting propositions from the period, until I thought of "monogamy." In the eyes of modern people like us, this type of marital relationship has been taken for granted; but 60 years ago the 'Great Qing Dynasty laws' still existed and allowed men to have three wives and four concubines, so the process of transforming from the concubine system to the present-day monogamy is the direction of the story I want to create this time." Yeung Sau Sing said in support, "The subject of 1971 is unique and the script is full of depth, and I have full confidence in this new work." Tze Wah described the role in the new film would be drastically different from before, could be said to be unfathomable and even more complex. He needed to constantly explore it with the director, "This time my relationship with Hui Koon Man could be said to be the complete opposite of THE LAST DANCE. Whether it was the relationship between the two characters, to the structure of the whole film have gone to another level. As for working again with Director Chan Mo Yin, our chemistry is getting better and better; and from general obedience to full obedience. Because the last time we collaborated, everyone's opinions were slightly different and the director's idea brought great results. So Hui Koon Man and I fully surrendered this time and believed in the director's choice." He also played coy and said that this time he was very pleased and satisfied, because he did something that he has never tried before in his film career. He might wish to do more. Hui Koon Man said, "Every collaboration has a different spark. Working with Director Chan and Tze Wah again, it would not be a repeat but to go to another level. This time, the work pattern is larger, full of a sense of the times. The cast and the crew are very involved. This type of growth is the most interesting part of creating. I believe the audience would not only definitely gets a sense of freshness but also experience the sincerity of our entire team." Chan Mou Yin felt that the enjoyment would be greater than the pressure in this production, as he believed that every filmmaker would have a dream of making a period store. The process has been very pleasant and his collaboration chemistry with Wong Tze Wah and Hui Koon Man is even deeper. With THE LAST DANCE team and great actors, a group of friends who like to act gathered to act. He said that being able to invite Iain Glen to join the team was his and the team's honor, saying that Iain Glen's role was very special Iain Geln praised the 1971 production was very excellent. Shooting every scene, stepping onto each production location have left people in awe. This experience has left him with beautiful memories and an incredibly lucky and happy time. Lam Ka Yan and Wai Sze Ngan both faced "license test" from Chan Mou Yin and admitted that the pressure was not light. Lam Ka Yan put all of her effort into her role. "The director asked the actors to perform in British English. Because the character was in the 1960s and had an upper class society background, she also had to have certain level of education. I have to handle the unique demands of the character." Lam Ka Yan said that the director paid attention to details and tested her immediately response, which felt very exciting to her and was a great challenge. He was very honored to work with Hui Koon Man for the first time. She has known Wong Tze Wah for over a decade but they would collaborate on a movie for the first time. Both Wai Sze Nga and Lam Ka Yan played lawyers in the film, and their relationship was like that of a mentor and a friend. "This time would be our third collaboration. I like my character respect Lam Ka Yan very much, on the set privately we would exchange acting tips." The fourth time to participate in the work of Chan Mou Yin, Wai Sze Wing in this era film played the role of professional lawyer. She joked that she too was taking the "license test", the pressure was not light but also full of freshness. She was grateful to the director every time to give her some new challenges. * (2026/07/09) The Ling Man Lung, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Peter Chan Charm Man, Ronald Lam Tsz Kit and Kenny Wong Tak Bun starred film UNIDENTIFIED MURDER (UFO LEI KEI MING ONG) after just two and a half days in release has accumulated HK$ 1 million at the box office. Even rarer was on the second day of the release of its box office exceeded that of the opening day, reflecting its continued rise due to word of mouth. The film and the actors were well received, some online even crowned Chan Charm Man as the movie MVP. Referring to the film shoot in the winter, for a few days they encountered the coldest weather at the time on location on Ma On Shan. On the day of the shoot the temperature was only 12 degrees. The always professional Chan Charm Man said, "Fortunately at the time not every night was cold, only a few nights were particularly cold. Of course in order for the body to maintain muscle and warmth, all of us have worn added layers and heat pads. Because we all knew that the shoot schedule was urgent, we didn't dare to get sick." Conceivably being stark naked in the cold must be particularly memorable for Chan Charm Man. He said, "The reason to go so far, first of course I believe in the director and the team, secondly I think today's story or character has to go so far in order to be close to reality; so I am not the one taking risks, truly the role and the plot need it." On the other hand, among the videos the film company released yesterday, lead actress Yeung Sze Wing was caught in a wheelchair on the set. Actually soon after the production began, Yeung Sze Wing fell in the forest. The crew immediately sent Yeung Sze Wing to the hospital for medical treatment, and she was diagnosed with a fracture. Due to the film's limited production budget, the day after Yeung Sze Wing's injury was originally scheduled to shoot an important group scene. In addition every scene on the script required Yeung Sze Wing to participate. Just when the director thought about how to schedule the shoot, Yeung Sze Wing appeared on the set as scheduled and greatly moved the two directors. Regarding the insistence on performing injured, Yeung Sze Wing smiled and said, "Because I know that the two directors under the funds of 3 million, every shoot day and even every scene was implemented with closely control the cost; plus this movie has mainly group scene, the participation of each character is indispensable; so after taking a night off, I go to the set as usual and try to coordinate with the shoot as much as possible." She even joked that her co-stars often pushed her wheelchair as a prank, from a positive perspective it was a way to strengthen their bond. [ In Production Now/Soon ] Can : Fook Sau Dik Yun d.

Opening July 1 2026 Trailer : https://youtu.be/0G1e0PpFhDg [ EMPEROR CINEMAS ] Crossing tells a gripping story of survival and breakthroughs. After the bloody Xiang River battle during the Long March in 1934, The Central Red Army found themselves in a desperate situation. At the Zunyi Conference, Mao Zedong was put back in charge of military command. Facing Chiang Kai-shek's massive force of 400,000 troops and "a tight iron encirclement," Mao dropped unrealistic tactics. Instead, he led the Red Army to move along the borders of Sichuan and Guizhou, and successfully escaped the heavy enemy encirclement through the four river crossings at Chishui, marking a crucial turning point in the Long March. Parallel to this grand strategic chess match is the deeply human story of two individuals: Zhao Defa, an old soldier, and A Jin, a homeless orphan. While Zhao fights to keep his sacred vow alive amidst the relentless bloodshed, A Jin -- who initially enlisted just to survive -- evolves from a desperate runaway into a resilient soldier, discovering the true meaning of the Red Army. As the strategic brilliance of the leadership meets the unwavering devotion of the soldiers, Crossing illustrates that the Chishui campaign was not merely a tactical miracle, but a profound triumph of the human spirit.

Opening June 12 2026 at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival Opening July 21 2026 at the 25th New York Asian Film Festival [ 25TH NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ] A celebrated stage director stakes everything on what is meant to be his swan song, even as his marriage comes apart. He casts a complete unknown as his female lead, only for his ex, now a movie-star diva, to sweep in, seize the role, and bump the newcomer down to understudy. As opening night bears down, he settles on a drastic plan in the name of true art. Keane T.K. Wong makes his feature directorial debut, mentored by Derek Yee, with a gleefully irreverent satire of show-business vanity and dysfunctional love, dragging the Hollywood screwball comedy into present-day Hong Kong. Stephen Fung leads a powerhouse ensemble with Myolie Wu, Chrissie Chau, and Angela Yuen. [ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Afterpiece begins with a man at an impasse. Owen, once a celebrated stage director, has spent more than a decade lost in creative paralysis. His former lover, Su Manling, re-enters his life under the guise of old affection, while his wife, Tracy, teeters on the edge of betrayal. Determined to reclaim his dignity, Owen sets out to write, direct, and star in a new work of his own. Yet during the open casting process for the female lead, he becomes deeply drawn to Hannah, an untrained newcomer, and gradually slips into a dangerous space between theatre and reality. This is not a film about the stage -- it is a film about why people drive themselves onto it. As Owen is forced to perform the roles of "director", "husband", "former lover", and "creator" beneath the gaze of four women, and as rehearsal becomes a rehearsal for real life itself, the theater ceases to be a refuge; instead, it becomes a mirror that exposes what lies beneath. What Keane Wong's screenplay seeks to approach is the fissure illuminated by the spotlight: Is a person truly creating a role, or merely escaping from himself? The answer is destined to be revealed, in all its loss of control, on opening night.

[ THE 50TH HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Mary Stephen takes her Western name as the starting point for a multi-layered exploration of identity and family, beginning with uncovering the notebooks of her father, Henry Stephen. They reveal a literary account tracing her lineage to Australia, yet complicate accounts and reveal obfuscated identities. Against the epoch- defining backdrop of British colonialism and Chinese migration, Palimpsest explores the universal desire to uncover one's origins and the power of the narratives we tell ourselves in the process. Best Documentary Feature and Best Film Editing, Golden Horse Awards. [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] "With this film, I continue doing what I've always done as an editor and director: telling stories that intrigue and move me, stories wrapped in mystery." Spanning eight decades and four continents, filmmaker and editor Mary Stephen embarks on a personal investigation into her English surname. It is not intended to be a narcissistic exploration but rather an effort to uncover the dissonances and the contradictions in our heritage that, in spite of our all-too-human desire for harmony and continuity, are the fundamental elements that shape us. It is in this spirit that this intimate journey unfolds. Drawing from her father's home movies and diaries, family photographs, her own travel footage, fragments of oral history and official archives, Stephen constructs a layered, polyphonic narrative where personal memory and collective history converge. The film traverses a turbulent period in China's past -- marked by the fall of a fading dynasty, civil war, Japanese invasion, and the eventual rise of the Communist Party. Against this backdrop, Hong Kong -- under British colonial rule since 1842 -- emerges as a paradoxical space, where Western modernity collides with Eastern heritage: a city of one million Chinese governed by twenty thousand Europeans. The film moves between Hong Kong's working-class neighborhoods, where schoolteacher Hilda Yik marries laborer Chan Tik-Fong amid petty trade and Hollywood dreams; to Wuhan, where British intellectual Julian Bell -- son of Vanessa Bell and nephew of Virginia Woolf -- engages in a scandalous affair with a renowned married Chinese writer; to far-flung places like the Australian outback, Montreal and Toronto, London and Cambridge, Paris and Cassis in the south of France, tracing unlikely crossings and quiet revolutions. How, and why, did Hilda Yik and Chan Tik-Fong eventually become Hilda and Henry Stephen? Mary Stephen assembles a delicate, fragmented mosaic meditation on reinvention, on the irresistible temptation to rewrite one's story, and on the universal human impulse to fictionalize the self.

FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE 3D d. Tsui Hark Jet Li, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Gwei Lun-mei Length : 125 mins. Opening on June 7 2026 (Sun) [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] If a Wuxia subgenre could have evolved from King Hu's Dragon Gate Inn (1968), Tsui Hark would be the one to have the greatest credit, because this film continues the storyline of the 1992 Dragon Inn, reimagining a fresh installment in the same series. It features the internal power struggles within the inn, blended with desert treasure hunts, palace intrigue, and undercover machinations by the Eastern and Western Depots, forming a grander Wuxia world. Tsui Hark has long pushed the boundaries of Chinese-language filmmaking through continual exploration and experimentation. Following the then-burgeoning 3D technology in Hollywood, this film is the first Chinese-language Wuxia film to be released in 3D. Tsui Hark drew on 3D techniques from around the world and fused them with Wuxia. The desert tornado fight from Dragon Inn could not be perfected due to technical limits, but with advances in computer- generated effects, this scene evolves into an underground imperial palace beneath a black sandstorm, giving it a fantastical new look. The 3D version will be shown in this screening. Each ticket includes a pair of 3D glasses. Post screening talk with Yuen Bun & Elson Cheng The post-screening talk will be conducted in Cantonese.

King Sky, the lone survivor of Kunlun Clan, carrying his master Dawn's memories and her weapon Moon Orb, teams up with the Omei Clan's Whitebrows, Red, and Enigma, among others, to unite against the looming catastrophe that could devastate the universe. Eighteen years after Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain appeared, Tsui Hark returns to Zu with an expanded, grander vision. The film presents a complex, tightly woven logic among immortals, demons, and humans, with an endless stream of extraordinary techniques, divine weapons, and magical realms. Its fantastical visuals and whimsical ideas are among the most vibrant in Hong Kong cinema. The Legend of Zu exemplifies Tsui Hark's skillful use of allegory, expressing his frustration and ambition through a troupe of celestial swordsmen and immortals during Hong Kong cinema’s darkest hour. How to be reborn? How to save oneself? How to handle the burdens, memories, and sentiments of the past—cling to them or sever ties? These are the core questions of the film, and Tsui Hark's rallying cry remains sharp and timeless.

Daniel Lee Yan Kong Jet Li (Lee Nin Kit), Sean Lau Ching Wan, Karen Mok Man Wai Length : 98 mins. Opening on May 31 2026 [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] Tsui Hark has always harbored a strong interest in Japanese animation, but from I Love Maria to The Wicked City he served only as producer, not director. This time, adapting Li Chi-ak's comic Black Mask, he also brings in Daniel Lee, who previously impressed him with The Mystery of the Condor Hero, to helm the project. With Lee's unique visual style and a reunion of Tsui, Jet Li and Yuen Woo-ping, the film aims to present a local sci-fi superhero in a futuristic urban action thriller, offering a refreshing blend. Tsui is a painless killer in the secret Squad 701. To evade capture, he disguises himself as a librarian, drawing the attention of colleague Tracy. He also befriends detective Stone. His former mentor and protégé in Squad 701 come to Hong Kong for a major heist, and Tsui helps Stone in a Black Mask persona, leading to high-octane confrontations. Jet Li's Black Mask look and rugged fighting style clearly pays homage to the Bruce Lee character in The Green Hornet. The film's level of violence surpassed Western standards at the time, and the English-dubbed version proved popular in the North American market, helping Li and Yuen Wo-ping make their mark in Hollywood soon afterwards. This screening features a 2K restoration. Post screening talk with Daniel Lee & Li Cheuk-to The post-screening talk will be conducted in Cantonese. SHANGHAI BLUES 2024 (4K RESTORATION) d.

Ten years later, they return to Shanghai and fail to realise that they are upstairs-downstairs neighbours, and after a twist of fate they recognise each other. Shu, seeing Stool fall for Tung, chooses to leave and board a train to Hong Kong. Tsui Hark uses exaggerated, slapstick-style staging to create a series of mistaken identities, while also delivering heartfelt, tearful moments. Set in pre-liberation Shanghai, the film evokes a palpable sense of historical nostalgia when mirrored against Hong Kong's path ahead.

Opening at the International Film Festival Rotterdam Bright Future Site : https://iffr.com/en/expanded/2022/films/blue-island [ INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ROTTERDAM ] Although the Chinese government promised that Hong Kong would retain separate status until 2047, in recent years the Chinese state has consolidated its power over the metropolis.

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.

Chow wields colorful yet noirish atmospherics with a maestro's command, the dank stairwells and flickering fluorescents conjuring palpable peril. As this intricate two-hander hurtles toward its cathartic climax, you'll be gasping not just from the suspense, but from sensing the new lifeblood pulsing through the story.

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.

Now comes his boldest work yet, chosen to close the 50th Hong Kong International Film Festival. Taking its title from Mei Chaofeng, the fierce wanderer of wuxia legend, Cyclone follows a young trans woman who leaves mainland China for Hong Kong, and falls in love while working to save for gender-affirming surgery and reckoning with a traumatic past. In the city's back alleys and transient rooms, she falls in with Ah Bian, whose affection comes tangled with damage and drug use, and Xiaomei, who lets her glimpse another way of being a woman. Yung turns exile, desire, and self- remaking into a bruised Hong Kong nocturne. [ INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ROTTERDAM ] Named after a figure from martial-arts literature, Cyclone follows a wanderer travelling from mainland China to Hong Kong in search of gender-affirming surgery. 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.

Keane Wong Tak Kin Stephen Fung Tak Lun, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Myolie Wu Hung Yi, Angela Yuen Lai Lam, Alan Yeung Wai Lun, Length : 122 mins. Opening June 12 2026 at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival Opening July 21 2026 at the 25th New York Asian Film Festival Site : https://www.nyaff.org/nyaff26/films/afterpiece [ 25TH NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ] A celebrated stage director stakes everything on what is meant to be his swan song, even as his marriage comes apart. He casts a complete unknown as his female lead, only for his ex, now a movie-star diva, to sweep in, seize the role, and bump the newcomer down to understudy. As opening night bears down, he settles on a drastic plan in the name of true art. Keane T.K. Wong makes his feature directorial debut, mentored by Derek Yee, with a gleefully irreverent satire of show-business vanity and dysfunctional love, dragging the Hollywood screwball comedy into present-day Hong Kong. Stephen Fung leads a powerhouse ensemble with Myolie Wu, Chrissie Chau, and Angela Yuen. [ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Afterpiece begins with a man at an impasse. Owen, once a celebrated stage director, has spent more than a decade lost in creative paralysis. His former lover, Su Manling, re-enters his life under the guise of old affection, while his wife, Tracy, teeters on the edge of betrayal. Determined to reclaim his dignity, Owen sets out to write, direct, and star in a new work of his own. Yet during the open casting process for the female lead, he becomes deeply drawn to Hannah, an untrained newcomer, and gradually slips into a dangerous space between theatre and reality. This is not a film about the stage -- it is a film about why people drive themselves onto it. As Owen is forced to perform the roles of "director", "husband", "former lover", and "creator" beneath the gaze of four women, and as rehearsal becomes a rehearsal for real life itself, the theater ceases to be a refuge; instead, it becomes a mirror that exposes what lies beneath. What Keane Wong's screenplay seeks to approach is the fissure illuminated by the spotlight: Is a person truly creating a role, or merely escaping from himself? The answer is destined to be revealed, in all its loss of control, on opening night. [ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Once-celebrated director Owen decides to write and star in a new play to reclaim his dignity. During auditions, he meets a novice, Hanna. As they enter each other's lives, Owen begins to lose himself between theater and reality. Faced with a demanding boss, a meddling former partner, and a failing marriage, his mind spirals into madness. He fights to keep Hanna as his lead, but opening night leads to an irreversible and chaotic ending. SECRET IN THE BOX Can : Ji Hup Chong Mai AKA : FAT MAI CHONG Lit : LEGAL HIDE AND SEEK d.

Then she secretly signs up for pole dancing, and something dangerous happens: she starts having fun. What looks like a midlife lark turns shockingly physical, closer to martial arts than play, demanding strength and nerve she didn't know she had. As the lessons reawaken a self she had quietly shelved, the accommodating wife-and-mother act becomes harder to keep up. Joey Wu's first feature turns domestic frustration into bright, nimble comedy, handing Catherine Chau a gloriously physical role as a woman who decides that disappearing politely is no longer on the schedule. Veteran Elaine Jin lends major support. [ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] Yuen is a stereotypical housewife, her days dulled by endless domestic routines.

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.
