MISCELLANEOUS * (2026/07/22) Known as "Sei Gor", Patrick Tse Yin passed away from pneumonia on the 16th of this month at the age of 89. His family decided to follow the will to quietly deal with the aftermath. A simple ceremony and cremation have been carried out four days after Tse Yin's passing, and the news of the death was announced later. Tse Yin's favorite "former daughter in law" Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi rapidly arranged for his eldest grandson Lucas to return to Hong Kong to perform filial piety when he was seriously ill. Having been in the entertainment business for 70 years, "Sei Gor" Tse Yin's health has deteriorated in recent years. On the 16th of this month he passed away, and the news shocked show business as fans were reluctant to part. Since Tse Yin has said in an interview before his death that everything should be simple after death, The Tse family decided to follow his dashing style. 4 days fter his death, a funeral in the form of "discharged from the hospital" in a low-key manner. In other words, the body did not go through the traditional funeral home wake and the simple ceremony was directly completed at the hospital mortuary or farewell room, and then cremated at in Wo Hop Shek Crematorium in Fanling. Tse Yin thus bid farewell to the mortal world. Reportedly, only former wife Deborah Li and their children Nicolas Tse Ting and Jennifer Tse Ting Ting, etc. attended during the wake the Tse family held. In just a few days from his passing to cremation, his family has completed all the rituals with great speed without any outside disturbance; so that Tse Yin was able to to go in peace on his final journey. Ting Fung will follow his father's last words and return to work. In addition to the Qingdao concert, the Wenzhou concert was announced to take place on October 31th. The outside world was very surprised by the "low-key departure" of the superstar of a generation. Fans who have followed Tse Yin for many years were looking forward to holding memorial services, and more speculated online whether Ting Fung's current girlfriend Faye Wong and his ex-wife Cheung Pak Chi would attend at the same time. Although Pak Chi and Ting Fung have been divorced for many years, the public analyzed that she had family ties with their ex-husband's family. In particular Tse Yin adored her and she gave birth to two sons of Lucas and Quintus for the Tse family, the two grandchildren naturally would have to attend to bid farewell to their grandfather. Faye Wong has not yet made any response. She and Ting Fung have only been in love, and coupled with the fact that she did not want to more outside coverage, she probably would not appear. Thus the chance of her and Pak Chi being at the memorial event together would be minimal. When Pak Chi and Ting Fung divorced, Tse Yin conceivably could not be more heartbroken. The current rumor was that he left 90% of the inheritance to Lucas and Quintus. Reportedly when Tse Yin was seriously ill, Pak Chi quickly arranged for Lucas to return to Hong Kong early from studying in Australia in mid-July to accompany his grandfather. She once said, "Filial people cannot be all that bad, this filial piety is not only for me, but also for father and for the elders!" The educational achievements that she taught with her action were obvious to all, Lucas was close to Grandfather and Grandma Deborah Li. Tse Yin also repeatedly publicly praised Pak Chi for teaching the children well but was also heartbroken that she had to take care of her sons on her own. He even said with guilt, "I feel I owe the 3 of them." In addition, when the outside world thought that Tse Yin's film and television work has been fully made public, actually the classic drama he and Liza Wang Ming Chuen collaborated on, LOVE AND PASSION (MAN SHUI CHIN SHAN JUNG SI CHING), was remade in the mainland in 2017. Huang Xiaoming invested and invited Qin Lan and Yan Yiquan to star, and the team invited Tse Yin and Damien Lau Chung Yan to make guest appearances. Unfortunately, after the new version wrapped up production and received the distribution permit, its broadcast journey ran into numerous obstacles ad even changed its title to "Sunshine happens to still be you" in 2020. So far now broadcast date has been confirmed, leaving the backlog of Tse Yin's work has not seen the light of day for nearly 9 years and has become a big regret in the hearts of fans. In order to pay tribute to Tse Yin, TVB will broadcast the half-hour special program "Forever Dashing Sei Gor -- Tse Yin" on the evening of the 25th, chronicling Tse Yin's classic work and highlights to remember this superstar of a generation who has been in the film and television industry for more than 70 years, followed by its "summit reaching work" TIME (SAT CHOOK GOR WONG FUN); and TVB Plus will be re- running THE SHELL GAME (CHIN WONG JI WONG) at the beginning of next month for everyone to relive Tse Yin's dashing shadow. Tse Yin only admitted to interacting with five women in his life, and had love and honor for each old flame. When his first wife Chen Chen learned that Tse Yin's passing, she was picking up someone at the Hong Kong airport. When she heard the news she cried until her voice was hoarse. She praised Tse Yin for valuing love and loyalty his whole life, and did what he said he would. Looking back at the past, she lamented, "He was so good to me, take such good care of me, and he was my first love. For the rest of my life I would leave an important place for him in my heart." Chen Chen revealed that they met for the last time in 2021. Because Tse Yin was in poor health in his later years and needed a wheelchair, his memory was somewhat vague. At that time the two divorced because of misunderstandings, Chen Chen once admitted that he was the love of her life. In 2019 Tse Yin made a surprise appearance at Chen Chen's retrospective exhibition, and staged the icebreaker of the century. He even confessed to her, "I still love you now, still waiting for you to come back." He also serenaded Chen Chen with THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART. Some online dug up a video clip of the day, in which the two danced with the music. The 82 year old Asia Film Festival Best Actor Chiang Pin in the 1970's starred in the film FANTASIES BEHIND THE PEARLY CERTAIN (YUT LIM YAU MUNG) with Tse Yin, Chen Chen, and Charlie Chin. Yesterday he responded to Taiwan media, saying that after learning about Tse Yin's passing he sent a text message to Chen Chen. "Two nemeses of your life (Tse Yin, Steven Liu) have passed away one after nother. The variety of taste only would you yourself would know." Chiang Pin said that he watched Tse Yin passionately pursued Chen Chen. Whether on or off the set Tse Yin would be there everyday. In addition Tse Yin's last girlfriend, CoCo, a model 49 years his junior, once revealed that during their relationship she owed a huge debt due to investment losses. Tse Yin immediately sold the nearly HK$ 5 million luxury cars that was a gift from his son to cover her debt. As for the rumor that Tse Yin gave HK$ 20 million as a break-up fee, CoCo said, "The so-called break-up fee, I didn't care about." 'Sei Gor" Tse Yin's passing has left many in the business in mourning. Having collaborated with him countless times during the Cantonese film era, Bowie Wu Fung has not picked up the phone the day before. Yesterday a lady replied on his behalf and revealed that Wu Fung was ailing, and hoped that he would not be disturbed at this time. Tse Yin, Wu Fung, Kenneth Tsang Kong and Joe Junior once collaborated on the variety show FOUR AMIGOS BON VOYAGE in 2015. Now only two remained. Joe Junior responded regarding Tse Yin's passing over a text message, "I am sorry, we are out of town until next month. May Sei Gor have a safe journey! My condolences to the family!" After the news of Tse Yin's passing broke, many people in the circle sent a message of remembrance. Among them Karen Mok Man Wai wrote on the social network, "Miss Sei Gor alway, condolences." The simple words showed her infinite respect and reluctance to part for her elder. Her film industry connection with Tse Yin originated from the 2001 shoot of Stephen Chow Sing Chi's film SHAOLIN SOCCER (SIU LUM JOOK KAU), in which Tse Yin played the domineering villain "Strong Hung" and Mok Man Wai guest starred as "Jade Faced Double Flying Dragon". Tse Yin treated his juniors warming and without putting on air, which deeply impressed Mok Man Wai. Playing Tse Yin's daughter in the drama "Love Night Central", Michelle Ye (Yip Suen) also said that her tears would not stopped, revealing that since back then she has called Tse Yin "Pa,", regarding him as her biological father for making her feel the warm fatherly love for the first time. Yip Suen recalled that Tse Yin personally guided her to shoot intimate scenes with her male counterparts, and passed on his life experience and philosophy to her hidden between the laughter and scolding. As for television Best Actor Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming, he and Tse Yin once collaborated on BET HUR. He said, "I feel very sorry. Actually when Sei Gor and I made BET, he was very old, almost 70 or 80. He still performed a lot of action scenes himself at that age, sometimes the director would be afraid. The director asked: 'Actually the stunt double can do, Sei Gor you don't have to do it yourself." Yet Sei Gor insisted on doing it himself, he was a great role model." Having worked with Tse Yin on the hit film TIME, Petrina Fung Bo Bo revealed in an interview yesterday that she was 4 and 1/2 years old in the Cantonese film DEEP IN LOVE (LIN LEI JI) when she played Tse Yin's son. Since then she has always called him "Sei Gor Daddy". Later Wong Jing invited the two to play the couple, but Fung Bo Bo was unable to get into the role. "He will always be 'Sei Gor Daddy' in my heart', so I turned Wong Jing down." Ha Yu yesterday attended an event and praised Tse Yin for being stylish his entire life. "No one is more so than him". He revealed that one years go he went to the doctor when he did not feel well and ran into Tse Yin at the clinic. "I went up to greet Sei Gor, but he couldn't recognize me already." Vincci Wong Yin Chi on social platform posted his photos with Tse Yin over the years, revealing that early at secondary school he and Tse Yin's family resided in the same building at the same estate. He often ran into Tse Yin in the elevator. Later the two families immigrated to Vancouver almost at the same time and became good friends. Wong Yin Chi later returned to Hong Kong and invested in health food business, daringly he invited Tse Yin to be the men's health product spokesman. After 20 years without making a commercial, Tse Yin returned for him. "I remember he taught how to treat life like a game, you have to play for fun and play hard to truly live this life." Wong Yin Chi later became the Tung Wah hospital group chair, and Tse Yin with his former wife Deborah Li visited the group's nursing homes. They exercised and chatted with seniors, and made them very happy. He praised Tse Yin for really knowing how to make people happy. Tse Yin has been rumored to have left an inheritance in the hundred millions. In addition to leaving 90% for the grandchildren, friend Brigitte Lin would also be entrusted with the inheritance. The Brigitte Lin Fan Club denied the rumor on the social network, angrily condemning the information as false and pointing out that the media declaration that "Lam Ching Ha and Tse Yin have collaborated on many films" as pure fiction. On this false basis the suggestion that "the two have been friends for many years" lacked credibility, and the relationship between the two would not be good enough to entrust the inheritance. However, despite all the online rumors, so far the Tse Family has hot yet officially confirmed the content of Tse Yin's will and the distribution of the estate. * (2026/07/22) Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) earlier after completing the new film "TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG)"'s Hong Kong shoot flew back to the United States to rest and be with his wife and daughter. A few days ago he appeared at the Lincoln Center in New York to attend the "New York Asian Film Festival", where he was awarded the "Best From East Award 2026". During the festival his film "COLD WAR 1994" was also screened in his honor, attracting a large number of fans to follow the stars. The scene was quite lively. At the film screening, Daniel shared the journey from the film, admitting that acting was a very passive thing. He has maintained a state of balance in life for a long time. On the trip his wife, Lisa S., was by his side through the whole process. The couple encountered fans on the street and did not turn any photo or autograph request down. Reportly Daniel will stay until the closing ceremony of the festival, and will be in attendance in support of the Korean goddess Gianna Jun Ji-hyun and the Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Joan Chen. * (2026/07/21) In entertainment more than 70 years, Patrick Tse Yin passed away yesterday due to illness at the age of 89. His son Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and daughter Jennifer Tse Ting Ting announced the news of their father's death on social platforms. Already rumored to be critically ill last week and rushed to the ICU, Tse Yin hung on for a week at the hospital in order to see Ting Fung, who was performing in the mainland. He got his wish as Ting Fung returned to Hong Kong to see him off on his final journey. After Ting Fung bid his father farewell, he would follow his lessons and his show on the 25th would go on as scheduled. Tse Yin has been rarely seen in public in recent years. When he won the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor in 2022, he was even rumored to have suffered a stroke during this period. In April this year he suddenly appeared at the Peak for coffee, but then disappeared from public view. At the time he needed a cane and a wheelchair, but he appeared to be decent shape. Days ago he was rumored to be critically ill. Reportedly, he was admitted to the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital for a period of time and fell into a coma last week. Then he was immediately sent to the intensive treatment department. Because Tse Yin has always been fond of Ting Fung, even if he was seriously ill he still insisted on waiting to see his son. His will was surprisingly strong and touched people around him. Tse Ting after completing his Zhengzhou concert returned to Hong Kong last Saturday and fulfilled his wish. Currently on a mainland concert tour, Ting Fung has already stated that his Qingdao concert on Saturday would go on as his father has taught him. The Tse family originally wanted to deal with Tse Yin's passing in a low-key way, but yesterday afternoon as the news began to spread like mad in the entertainment circle; Ting Fung and Ting Ting each posted on the social platform to confirm the news. Ting Fung wrote, "I am very sorry to announce that my father Tse Yin has left us. He dedicated his life to film and television and entertainment, hoping to bring joy and smile to every audience. As a child I have seen moments when he was down, but in any case he always insisted on appearing in front of the screen in the most perfect state. He used to say, "The show must go on." So when you think Sei Gor, think of my father, do not cry; do not have to be too sad; he would feel that is not dashing enough. We just have to keep the perfect figure who is always full of charm and full of smiles, and that's enough." Tse Ting Ting also said that she was a very sad and posted, "My father, accompanied by his family, passed away peacefully. After a period of health deterioration, he calmly completed a wonderful and rich life." Actually the then 16-year-old Ting Fung was very resistant to entering the industry, but Tse Yin's investment in the real estate business failed and owed 10 million in debt. He decided to sign up to become an artist and "pay his father's debt." After rising to stardom Ting Fung had both fame and fortune. In addition to working on screen he was also involved in behind the scene production, the food business and real estate investments. In recent years his worth was estimated to be in hundreds of millions. Ting Fung has never blamed his father, but instead from time to time to give big gifts like luxury car worth 5 million and in 2017 he was also revealed to have purchase a HK$ 85 million Repulse Bay mansion as a Father's Day gift. Reportedly Tse Yin's estate had the total value of more than HK$100 million, leaving 90% to two grandchildren, Lucas and Quintus, and the remaining 10% to Ting Fung and Ting Ting evenly. At the same time Tse Yin's friend Brigitte Lin (Lam Ching Ha) was rumored to keep a part of the estate until Lucas and Quintus grow up. Ting Fung's ex-wife Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi has always had a good relationship with Tse Yin, and Pak Chi yesterday turned the social platform profile phot black for mourning. Tse Yin's ex-wife Deborah Li and daughter Ting Ting were caught at Central yesterday with solemn looks. When asked about the funeral arrangements, Lai Goo put her hands together and said, "Thank you..... don't......" She was reluctant to speak as she and Ting Ting stepped into the building. A mainland social media platform post claimed that "according to Hong Kong media reports" the whereabouts of Tse Yin's over HK$ 100 million estate, stating that 90% would be completely left to his two grandsons -- Cheung Pak Chi and Tse Ting Fung's two sons. Yet it did not mention the source of the information or response from anyone involved. Later the news gained traction as some reports claimed that Tse Yin's friend Brigitte Lin would "keep part of the estate until Tse Yin's grandsons grow up". Brigitte Lin's fan club immediately issued a statement on its official Weibo account to clarify, emphasizing that the claim was untrue. "Lam Ching Ha and Tse Yin have never collaborated on many movie." Then they criticized several media by name regarding their reports mentioning "Lam Ching Ha and Tse Yin have worked together on many films" as pure fiction. "The credibility of the speculation that 'the two have been good friends of man years' based on this fiction is almost zero, being as good as estate executor is even making something out of nothing. We deeply regret the passing of Tse Yin and would deeply miss him, but should the related media have a little bottom line of news? Not spreading rumors, news should be based on facts. It would also be respect shown to elder Tse Yin." In addition Tse Yin talked about life and death in an interview, "I really am not afraid to die. Living to a hundred? Definitely not, the last few years would be the toughest to take. Sometimes I would say it hurts here and there, I also have arthritis. I have everything I want now, I always feel I am the happiest person. I am very satisfied." Looking back on his life, he was the proudest not of how many movies he was in, but "I don't have a problem with anyone, and no one has a problem with me." Tse Yin's "dramatic life" has finally ended, leaving only a lot of wonderful performances and stories for future generations to remember. Tse Yin was originally named Tse Ka Yuk. Born on September 15th, 1936, he was the fourth child among eight in the family. Also in the drama THE SHELL GAME he played "Law Sei Hoi", thus he was known as "Sei Gor". In 1953 he left school at the age of 16 after being accepted to the Lan Kwong Film Company artist training class, with the debut TAPS OFF, DOWNSTAIRS (LAU HA SAN SHUI HAU) he rose to prominence. Then he starred in many Cantonese films as the male lead like THE STRANGE CASE OF THREE WIVES (SAM CHAI KEI ONG), THE QUARRELSOME COUPLE (FOON HEI YUEN GA), MY INTIMATE PARTNER (LAN HING LAN DAI), etc. At the peak he had 14 movies in a year. In 1956 with DIAL 999 FOR MURDER he became popular. In the 1960s, he, Charlie Chin (Chun Cheung Lam), Paul Chang Chung and other formed the "Silver Rat Pack", founding a company, the Tse Brothers Production Company, in 1967 and becoming a director of movies like THE SPLENDID LOVE IN WINTER (DONG LUEN). In 1970s he joined TVB and made television series, the first was SWORDSMAN SIU SAP YAT LONG. Then he starred in classic work like THE SHELL GAME (CHIN WONG JI WONG), LOVE AND PASSION (MAN SHUI CHIN SHAN JUNG SI CHING) and ROUGE (YIN JI KAU). By the millennium, he still had an itch for acting despite being in his 60's, and he was popular and widely talked about in the films SHAOLIN SOCCER (SIU LUM JOOK KAU), COLOR OF THE TRUTH (HAK BAK SUM LUM) and the drama FORSENIC HEROES IV (FAT JING SIN FUNG IV), hosting the travel variety program THREE AMIGOS BON VOYAGE and FOUR AMIGOS BON VOYAGE. In 2013, Tse Yin participated in the TVB variety program THREE AMIGOS BON VOYAGE and went to Europe with Bowie Wu Fung and Joe Junior. After the program aired it received an enthusiastic response. Later TVB followed up with FOUR AMIGOS BON VOYAGE and added new member Kenneth Tsang Kong. No one expected that at the 2015 press conference to promote the show, Tse Yin suddenly became the "whistleblower" and stated that Kong Tsang during the entire shoot walked with a cane. Later due to an accident he needed a wheelchair to complete the remaining trip. He was upset that Tsang was "faking being sick" and even pointed out that the other three took turns to push the wheelchair. The more he talked the more emotional he got, finally he could not help but slap Tsang Kong. Sitting in the middle, Wu Fung even became collateral damage as he glasses were sent flying. Everyone were in shock. In the show Tse Yin were close friends with Tsang Kong and Wu Fung. He and Tsang Kong pinky swore that in the future one of them would have to kiss the other one at the funeral for a final farewell. He also jokingly asked to pluck a white hair on Wu Fung's face and said that he would properly add it to his collection. In 2018, Tse Yin brought this incident up again at an event and clarified that he was only "acting" to promote the program. At the end of the same year, he, Wu Fung and Tsang Kong attended Charlie Ng Kai Ming's restaurant opening. They were all smiles and proved that they have already gotten over the matter. In the film industry for more than half a century, Tse Yin had outstanding achievements. He was awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the Golden Bauhinia Awards and the 38th Hong Kong Film Awards, and even in 2022 with the film TIME (SAT CHOOK GOR WONG FUN) he won the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor at the age of 85, setting a new record for the oldest Best Actor in history. In his dashing life, his classic ponytail, sunglasses and suit look long became his "god" symbol. When Sei Gor participated in the 2008 TVB program ON THE ROAD, he shared his "dashing" philosophy and fitness experience under leisurely overseas scenery. At the time he was already 70 but was still sharply dressed in a suit and in great shape. he said, "Sometimes after I get up I would look at the mirror and ask, 'Tse Old Sei, are you kidding? You are in your 70s and still dress like this?' Even I can't take you anymore! However I am Old Sei, I can carry it!" In the eyes of Tse Yin, the dignity and charm of a man were often on display in the details. He stated that men must be dashing, so he would always stay upright when he walked. As for how to stay straight, Tse Yin also generously shared his decades old self discipled method. He revealed that everyday he would exercise and limit his daily diet so he was able to stay in shape; because to him, "The most important for a man is to be dashing, being handsome, young or not really doesn't matter." Tse Yin in the film TIME removed his trademark sunglasses that has never left his side over the years. His face directly lay naked in front of the screen to show his true side. Tse Yin once revealed on a program that because when he was young a fortune teller told him that he had peach blossom eyes. In order to "chop the peach blossom" he was never without his sunglasses, not because he had any eye ailment. With his dashing looks, Tse Yin had countless female companions in his life. However he only admitted that he has been in love with five women, including Josephine Siao Fong Fong and Cantonese actress Patsy Ka Ling, and two marriages. He wed his first wife Chen Chen in 1974, and the marriage was maintained for more than two years. Then she fell for Steven Liu Chia Chang and ended up in divorce. Earlier Chen Chen in an interview said that she only divorced Tse Yin in a fit and confessed that he was her most beloved in life. Soon after leaving Chen Chen, Tse Yin's love was rekindled as he took the initiative to pursue Deborah Li. The next year they decided to start a family. After marriage they have a pair of children Ting Fung and Ting Ting. The family of four in the 1980s once immigrated to Canada, Tse Yin even once retired from acting for business. In the end they returned to Hong Kong in 1995, but the marriage ended after 16 years. Later Tse Yin was with his Shanghai girlfriend 20 years his junior, Coco and developed to the stage of living together. This "ageless love" once ended in 2018. At the time Tse Yin was rumored to have paid 20 million to the woman as break-up fee, two years later the two were caught kissing in the street in a high-profile reunion. Tse Yin's children also entered show business. Son Tse Ting Fung has outstanding achievements in music and film, and like his father he has won the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor as they became the strongest "Superstar Father and Son". Daughter Tse Ting Ting has retreated from the screen and moved to Canada. In his later years Sei Gor enjoyed his time with family. Aside from Tse Ting Fung and his former wife Cheung Pak Chi's two sons Lucas and Quintus, Tse Ting Ting also has a son and a daughter -- making his later years even more complete. In 2014 Tse Yin once traveled to Spain with Tse Ting Fung for his program CHEF NIC. This was a rare trip with just the two of them since their 1985 trip to Japan. He admitted that they actually were not considered close. Because his son has been living abroad since childhood, they were used to their own lives. Even if they lived together they insisted against disturbing the other's principles. When talking about his grandsons Lucas and Quintus, he was full of smiles. He praised Luca for knowing how to face the cameras and greet reports, and even said that Quintus was very handsome in a suit -- completely inheriting the family's excellent genes. In addition, Tse Yin once revealed that the period he truly made movie was when he invested in movies. Yet, later when he tried to invest in clothing manufacturing, bars, bathhouses, etc. he often failed. He pointed out that he once considered other jobs, but failed but due to lack of experience. He also admitted taht he did not excel in business. He often reminded his son that he would not spend frivolously when he made money, because artists could not possible remain on top forever. He further explained that show business requires to be on call 24 hours, so he had no time to understand how other industries ran in depth. He could only rely on others, yet relying on others often made success difficult. He concluded that running a business only had one principle. "To make money you have to do it yourself." Since the income took an effort to make, he should not causally let other people invest it. Instead he should choose a stable way like "buying bricks" to maintain value; as long as he did not overdraft or speculate, he would not have any issue. Tse Yin had acquaintances everywhere, and many of them were sorry about his passing. Gordon Lam Ka Tung was the producer of Sei Gor's last performance. Lam Ka Tung was still upset and only replied, "I am sorry, at this stage I don't think it's suitable to say too much. Let his family make the arrangements first!" Liza Wang Ming Chuen was reluctant over Sei Gor's passing, praising him for dedicating his life to contribute to the film and television industry, for being a good person, taking very good care of his co-stars, for being classy and handsome, and definitely a legendary character. She described him as an "important partner". She said that she grew up watching Tse Yin's Cantonese films, she never would have guessed that she would be able to work with him. "He knows that I am not a playful person but would deliberately play pranks on me, because I was relatively nervous and didn't know how to joke around. My first drama with him was RAINBOW (TIN HUNG), at the time he and Lai Goo (Deborah Li) were dating. After he got married, we made THE SHELL GAME. At that time Tse Ting Fung was born." She also said that because she and Tse Yin worked together for years, when they collaborated on LOVE AND PASSION Tse Yin's daughter Tse Ting Ting was born and thus became her goddaughter. Back then she even took the kids swimming. Later they immigrated and had less contact. "Over the past few years when Ting Ting returns to Hong Kong she would call me." Tse Yin's final television series was the 2020 Mui Siu Ching produced TVB drama FORSENIC HEROES IV. Mui Siu Ching said that she was fortunate to have worked with Tse Yin and revealed that once she was invited to take a cruise with a friend. Tse Yin actually was also on the trip. Over the several day cruise she sensed that he did not behave like a star and finally moved Tse Yin to agree to perform with her sincerity. She immediately tailored the script for Tse Yin. Before the production began she received two calls from Tse Yin saying that he was worried that he would not be able to handle it. "I believe in Sei Gor's skills, so I agree that everything would be taken care of and he would have not any hard time. Sei Gor then relaxed and performed. During the shoot someone picked up and dropped off Sei Gor to and from work. He was very strict about work, a good actor and a cool man. Even his back knew how to act. Sei Gor sometimes was like a child, once he played a prank on me. He suddenly called me, and I thought the production had a problem. Sei Gor immediately laughed and jokingly asked if he looked better with a red or blue tie. Although I would miss Sei Gor, his life was full and without regret." Yuen Siu Fai was shocked to hear the news and felt rather sorry. Yuen Siu Fai said that he and Sei Gor Tse Yin have known each other for several decades. They even started around the same period in 1953, 1954. "However I was in Evergreen Motion Pictures and Union Film Enterprise Ltd., and Sei Gor was in Kong Ngee Company. I remember he made THE PRETTY TIGREE (YIN JI FU) at that time." Brother Fai pointed out that although they started around the same period, in his impression they seemed to have never collaborated. Yet they often saw each other at the studio, so they were rather familiar. Brother Fai lamented over Sei Gor's passing. "He was truly up there in age. Honestly, if he lived healthily, everyone would hope that he would have longevity. I hope that he passed painlessly. No pain is a good thing." Brother Fai stated that Sei Gor contributed greatly to show business. In his youth he often mentored so many would miss him. As for the last time he and Sei Gor met, Brother Fai thought for awhile before saying that it was so long ago he could not remember. Collaborated with Tse Yin in the series BET HUR, Charmaine Sheh Sze Man posted a tribute. "He was an elder very worthy of us to learn from. Very dedicated, he was willing to share the experience with the future generations. He was very demanding on himself, but he was also funny, humorous and quite the gentleman." Former co-star Pinky Cheung Man Chi said, "He was a very funny person, with him the set would be filled with laughter. He was a man with good taste and grace." Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin posted photos with Tse Yin at different events. "My most respected and beloved Sei Gor, have a safe journey. Thank you for all the joy you brought me, and all the life wisdom you shared. Miss you always." In his later years Sei Gor once joined Chow Yun Fat's running group, but later his heart and lung function made strenuous exercise difficult and he did not participate. Former co-star and running friend, Nina Paw Hee Ching praised him as a good actor who respected and enjoyed the profession. "I worked with him several TV dramas. He was already 70, but he did everything himself. He was still vain and would memorize all his costumes." In addition many artists mourned on social networks. Jackie Chan posted a photo with Tse Yin, expressed his sadness and recalled, "On the set I heard the news of Sei Gor's passing, and I am very heartbroken. We have known each other for too long......When I was still a stuntman, he was already a big star. He took great care of me on the set. Later we experienced a lot together. Looking back now, they were all unforgettable life memories. As Ting Fung says, no matter when, his always dashing and gentlemanly image would long endure in our hearts." Stephen Chow Sing Chi also quoted poet Du Fu, "Look at the sky with white eyes, like a jade tree before the wind. Best Actor Tse Yin, have a safe journey." Candy Yu On On posted that she has always called him "idol" and praised him for being a dashing person. * (2026/07/20) The film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING)'s sequel THE FINAL CHAPTER (JUNG JEUNG) earlier shot on location in Tsim Sha Tsui East and on Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, attracting many to look on and take photos. Recently Yuen Long residents discovered the "reconstruction" of the Kowloon Walled City near the bus depot. After the news surfaced, many visited the set and even tried to enter the set. Aside from the old buildings that were awaiting demolition, some buildings have already collapsed. People commented that the set was very shocking, even building collapse did not require computer graphics. TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS' social network official page yesterday issued a public call to the "people of the Walled City". "Give us a quiet space, so TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER can be born smoothly! Recently we discover the set's physical address online, resulting in many friends coming to visit the set and take pictures. Although we know everyone is passionate, but actually we would have more difficulty with traffic control and production progress. The production team hopes to maintain a sense of secrecy, the set is secured location, so 'no visit, photography or recording please'." At the same time it reminded people of safety concerns, as the set had giant spotlights, heavy equipment and filled with electrical wires. Security has already increased patrols. It revealed that someone has trespassed onto he set. Although they were urged to leave, but the set construction progress has already been slowed down. "We know everyone is really looking forward to watching THE FINAL CHAPTER, but for the cast and the crew, a quiet environment where they can focus on creating is truly important. Please support us and be patient a little longer. Wait until THE FINAL CHAPTER's official release, everyone then can see the entire set in its entirety!" Reportedly TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN spent HK$ 50 million to construct sets in Ping Shan, Yuen Long and Sai Kung to bring back the 1980s Walled City. THE FINAL CHAPTER's actual set production cost would be even higher. * (2026/07/20) Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun and the director and screenwriter Fung Chih Chiang (Fung Chi Keung) appeared at the book fair yesterday for the book signing of their new film WAKESURF LOVERS (LONG FA NAM NUI)'s complete chronicle. Jeffrey even posed on the spot wit his own topless swimwear photo from the book. Jeffrey revealed that he had a part in the photo selection. He was very happy to be able to have a book signing at the book fair, and joked that he felt like he became a writer. When asked whether he would consider launching a personal book or photo collection, he said that he has thought about publishing an idiom or a golden quote collection. He joked that he was always eloquent as he hoped to bring everyone joy; as for a photo book, he felt that the movie would be enough for the audience. Because he already made a topless performance in the film, he joked that "the sweat" was definitely worthy of everyone's appreciation. He even mentioned that his tan was the darkest at that time. Even when he saw the movie, he couldn't help but go wow; because it was not simply bronze but actually copper black. No fear of water due to injury Jeffrey admitted that his current shape was no longer as good as then. "Beautiful things would stay in the movie". In reality he was still better off to be an ordinary person. He pointed out that when he shot ROAD TO VENDETTA (SAT SAU #4) in March and April last year, he was at his best shape. When he got up in the morning back then, he would only need to tighten his muscles a little he would already feel refreshed; although the chest muscles were not particularly exaggerated, the lines of the lower abdominal tendon were completely bursting -- a state that many men dreamed of. Looking back now he too felt that he were very fit. If the plot required a fully nude performance in the future, how would he feel about to have show his "quality asset"? Jeffrey said that no problem, as long as the plot required it he would not hesitate. He was injured when he was filming the surfing scene. He believed in letting go of the past. Now he was healthy, as long as he enjoyed every minute and every second it was enough. However he must pay more attention to safety, ultimately he only had "one life to live". He has not been scared off water though, as he joked that he liked to drink water so he had no particular fear of water. He also thanked the team for being very considerate, permitting him to rest for a month after his injury before continuing to shoot the surf scene. The film has been scheduled for an August release. Regarding the promotion strategy, he said the most important thing was to impress the audience with sincerity. He promised to thank the audience like crazy. Yesterday he deliberately put on the gold wire framed glasses to the scene. Later he might wear a diving google to thank the audience. Would he appear in swimwear to thank the audience? He joked that he could if the box office would reach HK$ 80 million. If the target would be met then he would appear in swimwear. In terms of music, Jeffrey revealed that he has recorded four to five new songs, and has planned to release the album this year. He expected the release to be in the winter. * (2026/07/18) The Stephen Chow Sing Chi directed new film KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK) has been a box office success, but at the same time a lot of pirated recordings have appeared. Even its box office theft has been suspected. In view of the rampant situation, even Chow Sing Chi could not help but fight back! The film has been released in the mainland. Many online were surprised by Sisley Choi Si Bui's performance. When she appeared at the Shenzhen stop of the promotional tour the day before yesterday, she received even more praise from Chow Sing Chi's action scenes for having shades of Bruce Lee! The Chow Sing Chi directed film KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK) after 7 days in release received the box office of 1.05 billion yuan (about 1.215 billion Hong Kong dollars)! In recent days Chow Sing Chi led the team to promote in Tianjin, Changsha, Chengdu, Hangzhou and other places. Earlier he went to the last stop in Shenzhen with Lay Zhang Yixing, Choi Si Bui, Xue Ye, Lam Tsz Chung and Chan Kwok Kwan. Playing a blind massage therapist and reserve goalkeeper in the film, Choi Si Bui's role turned out to be quite heavy. Transformed into "iron goalkeeper" she reversed the team's momentum. She also beat up the team owner in many scene, regardless of the expression or action she was right on target and received online praises as excellent. No wonder during the promotion in Shenzhen, Chow Sing Chi praised her by name in particular. "Double 8 (the role of Choi Si Bui) played such a good fighter for the first time, and was able to fight like Bruce Lee. I really haven't seen anything like that, there is an actress who can fight so much like Bruce Lee. Isn't she great!" Choi Si Bui after receiving such praise immediately bowed twice and thanked him repeatedly. Speaking of the team owner beating scene being praised, Choi Si Bui smiled and said, "Seeing everyone having so much fun, it was all worth it. Because we really fought all night, from dark to dawn I constantly beat the team owner. Actually I was sorry, but during the shoot I really thought that if I didn't hit hard, everyone would not be happy. I had to do it, and I had to hit hard." KUNG's box office was good, online piracy has also been overwhelming. Recently appeared a large number of handwritten movie tickets, suspected of being "box office theft". Even Chow Sing Chi could not help but send 6 limited-time stories on the social network, sharing the audience's post of the KUNG handwritten cinema tickets. One was even written for 11 people, some online posted, "Were tickets of 11 people stolen" Chow Sing Chi while forwarded the post added 3 question marks, the suspicion was so deep that no more needed to be said. The so-called "box office theft" is to transfer the box office number of the film to another film, the way is when the audience to buy film A (mostly a big hit movie) tickets, but the ticket printed by the cinema system is for film B (most of the unpopular film or cinema self- operated film), resulting in film A box office revenue was forced to join film B's to increase the data of film B. This time the theater owners used blank movie ticket with handwritten titles for theft, it would be difficult to estimate who is the beneficiary. In one of the screenshots shared by Chow Sing Chi, it was actually for an animated film "ALL WISHES COME TRUE!" The staff curiously changed the ticket to KUNG FU SOCCER. ALL WISHES COME TRUE was a mythological animated film based on the Chinese folklore EIGHT IMMORTALS CROSS THE SEA. It officially releases in the mainland today. Starting on July 14th it began a limited advanced run, the estimated box office as of yesterday afternoon has already exceeded 80 million yuan RMB (around HK$ 92.8 million). The film company earlier issued a statement to clearly condemn the box office theft and fraudulent box office reporting, and began a nationwide reporting. It said that once confirmed the company would cease all collaboration with the cinemas in violation. According to related mainland regulation, each film ticket must go through a nationally uniform ticketing system. The ticket revenue would officially enter the profit sharing process, in the ratio that the cinema, the circuit, the film company and the national special fund for film development have agreed about. As for "box office stealing", the term referred to cinemas through technological methods or regulation violating operation to make the ticket revenue not enter the uniform system through methods like "system malfunction" and handwritten tickets as proof of admission in lieu of printed tickets and hence avoid profit sharing. The behavior of intercepting the revenue directly prevents the film company from receiving the box office share that it deserves, the national film special fund and tax loss, and also harms the audience's consumer rights. Some cinemas also privately transferred hit film's box office revenue to other stipulated films. KUNG FU SOCER still had to face the severe piracy situation, as some online discovered over 50 minutes of pirated livestreaming on video platforms and led to concerns for film copyright protection. In addition, earlier the film company uniformly replaced the optimized layout source of the theaters yesterday. In addition to trimming the hedges, it will further refine the special effect scenes but the length of the film remains unchanged. It was rare for the film source to be replaced during the release of the film, which was a testament to Chow Sing Chi's meticulousness on the new film! "Team Emei" in KUNG fought with many teams to create a series of wonderful scenes, but also became involved in international controversy. Some South Korean media and netizens questioned the insinuation of the South Korean soccer team, and there was a suspicion of vilifying the image of South Korean sports. Whether the film could be successfully released there has become the focus. Korean netizens pointed out that KUNG has an overseas team called "Team Ewha", which was suspected to be the famous local school Ewha Women's University. In the film, the team's players repeatedly maliciously fouled during the game, and even used their "beauty" to seduce and bribe referees, etc., upsetting South Korean audiences. Some media even pointed out that the film was suspected of insinuating the 2002 World Cup-related controversial events and shaping the negative image of the Korean team. In addition, the team was once rumored to have invited Korean Best Actor Song Kang-ho to play a referee who favored the Korean side but was rejected. After the news came out, the film was criticized by local netizens, who was disappointed. "I hope this film will never be released in South Korea." With the success of the new film, many fans are begging for a sequel. While promoting in the mainland, Chow Sing Chi was asked what his next movie would be about. He hinted, "Team Emei wants to beat the whole world, currently they only beat half. In the future it still has to keep beating the other half." He personally hinted that KUNG FU SOCCER 2 would be made. Chow Sing Chi also revealed two "hidden settings" and Easter eggs to the audience, saying that the aunties who were playing mahjong with "Mother Superior" all were "secret martial art masters" who deliberately held back their powers. Their shocking real kung fu would not be officially revealed until later. In the KUNG FU SOCCER end credit Easter egg, Chow Sing Chi and Lam Tsz Chung made a surprise appearance in their SHAOLIN SOCCER look and tossed out the line, "Then let's play them once!" Viewers looked forward to a sequel with "SHAOLIN SOCCER VS. EMEI SOCCER". Lead actress Zhang Xiaofei quickly said about the opportunity for KUNG FU SOCCER to make a sequel, "If Sing Yeh dares to make it, I dare to go!" Chow Sing Chi's other work has also become hot topics. Among them MERMAID 2 (MEI YUN YU 2) still has not yet been released after 8 years. Chris Wu Yifan and Show Luo's negative news was rumored to be the cause, leading a lot of the movie to be unusable. The script would also have to start over, spending a lot of resources on the reshoot. As a part of the first film, Show Luo recently made a rare clarification. "Report report, I am not in MERMAID 2. Thank you for the concern, friends in the media." * (2026/07/18) Tony Wu Tsz Tung continued to shoot the film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG) in the evening of Temple Street. Wu Tsz Tung used his ultimate technique, and flying and kicking the whole way. Throughout the whole process the action director Kenji Tanigaki guided him without any room for error. He also did not disappoint and successfully completed the shoot. On the contrary, Raymond Lam Fung and Terrance Lau Chun Him were quite "comfortable", sitting on the sidelines to watch the battle. Lam Fung, Lau Chun Him, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) and Wu Tsz Tung starred in the film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER, which has been filming on Temple Street. Around 5:30 p.m. the day before, Lau Chun Him and Wu Tsz Tung took the lead at work. They sat outside the shop built by the crew to shoot a dramatic scene. Lau Chun Him had injury make up on his face, while Wu Tsz Tung was bandaged. Seemingly they were conducting "post race analysis" after experiencing the fight. Around 7:00 p.m., the crew placed cushions on the ground. Soon Wu Tsz Tung ran and jump up on the street, knocking down the opponents with a drop kick as everyone immediately fell. Wu Tsz Tung landed on his back, fortunately the team has already taken ample safety measures. Giving his all throughout the whole process, Wu Tsz Tung was quite serious, every time after a shot he immediately watched the playback. The Japanese action director Kenji Tanigaki approached and explained to him how to perform even better, and he listened carefully to the instructions in a very professional manner. The previous night's shoot continued to attract many passers- by, the team asked the passer-by not to take pictures before hand. Although the team did not block the cameras, but because of the closed street shoot during the official shoot the team asked the crowd to leave since they might be in the shot. Lam Fung, Lau Chun im, Kenny Wong Tak Bun and Edward Ma Chi Wai joined the shoot around 9:00, the scene was still Wu Tsz Tung and Ma Chi Wai's gang fight on Temple Street. In the film good brothers Lam Fung, Lau Chun Him and "Brother Tiger" Wong Tak Bun looked serious, sitting at the nearby dai pai dong to "watch the fight." After many days of shooting on Temple Street, when the reporter went to the set yesterday most of the previously built sets have been demolished. It was estimated that the shoot at the place has been completed, and would relocate to start work elsewhere. The team earlier went to Tsim Sha Tsui for filming. * (2026/07/17) Known as the "official maid", the 87-year-old veteran TVB actress Leung Oi yesterday was rumored to have passed away at a nursing home in mainland China. Senior producer Gary Yeung Siu Hung confirmed the news of her death on social media, sharing a photo from his April visit with Leung Oi at a nursing home or hospital. He commented, "This was the last time I would see you, I am speechless. Dear Sister Oi, may you have a safe journey! If fate permits, we can work together again in the next life." Leung Oi has been out of the entertainment industry for many years. In December last year she was interviewed on Yeung Siu Hung's online program and revealed that after losing her husband and child, she lived alone at Shui Chuen O Estate. Later after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she felt unable to care for herself and moved to a Shenzhen nursing home. She said that after learning of her illness, she decided to live with the cancer, refused Western medical treatment, and only had regular follow-ups supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine. She faced death with an open mind, "With life and death those who should come would come, and those who should leave would leave. If the higher-ups give you a notice, you go to work; if not, they just take the notice back and time for goodbye. It's very simple." Tormented by illness, Leung Oi's health deteriorated rapidly. Her weight once plummeting to less than 70 pounds. In the later stages of her illness, her body became weak until she recently passed away at a care home. Leung Oi's life was full of ups and downs. She grew up poor and was abandoned by her parents. She was once adopted by a wealthy family in Hong Kong, but due to her family's decline she suffered repeated bullying. She left home at age 12 to support herself, and worked as a factory worker and waiter at a dai pai dong. At 19 she entered the entertainment industry as an extra. In the 1960s she married Cantonese film director Tso Kea (originally named Wong Tso Kea) and once enjoyed a wealthy life. It is said that at her peak, she had three workers and a driver. However due to the impact of the 1967 riots, she fell into bankruptcy and subsequently returned to the factory to make a living. In the 1970s Leung Oi joined TVB, often playing maid roles and earning the title of 'Official Maid.' She worked hard acting to support her son Wong Sam's study in the UK, then immigrated to Canada. Her husband passed away there in 1997. In 2000 Leung Oi returned to Hong Kong and joined Asia Television. In her later years Leung Oi faced hardships. In 2019 she fell and was injured, and soon after she was further devastated by the death of her son from heart disease. In her later years, she gradually withdrew from the spotlight and lived alone in Hong Kong to recuperate. In 2025 she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and moved to a Shenzhen nursing home. Leung Oi appeared in films and series including IMAINGARY SUSPECTS (DIM JI CHAK CHAK), IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD III (FU GWAI JOI SAM BIK YUN), THE FUN, THE LUCK, THE TYCOON (GUT SING GUNG JIU), HOTEL (KONG CHIU), THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (MONG JUNG YUN), YESTERDAY'S GLITTER (GAING WAH CHUN MUNG), etc. She was the best known as Aunt Fong in the Stephen Chow Sing Chi starred series THE JUSTICE OF LIFE (TA LOI JI GONG WU). The 2025 film PASS AND GOAL (YIK JUEN SEUNG BOON CHEUNG) became Leung Oi's final work. * (2026/07/17) The film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG) two nights ago shot on actual location on Temple Street. Lead actor Raymond Lam Fung received a set visit from his wife Carina Zhang Xinyue and daughter Luna, while Tony Wu Tsz Fung and Edward Ma Chi Wai's powderkeg street fight. The Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) and Lam Fung starred film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER the day before yesterday continued to shoot on the actual location on Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei. Around 9:00 that night, lead actor "Chan Lok Kwan" Lam Fung arrived at the scene in a vehicle, his wife Zhang Xinyue carried their mask wearing daughter Luna and left the vehicle with a female friend first. They got into the crowd under a low profile and looked on from afar. The mother and daughter after the "rapid set visit" of a few minutes returned to the vehicle, then Lam Fung put on his mask and baseball cap before leaving the vehicle. He hurried onto the set under the escort of the staff to prepare for work, while his wife and daughter left in the vehicle. Shooting that night was a powder keg fight scene. "Sup Yi Siu" Wu Tsz Tung carried a sharp blade with a sharp look as he led the brother to run wild into the fierce battle. The opponent Ma Chi Wai's side also did not yield at all, as he and his brothers raised water bottles and threw them frantically to welcome the fight, forcing Wu Tsz Tung's gang to retreat. The scene was realistic and full of tension, and the onlookers who were watching were left short of breath! By about 9:30 p.m., famous director Derek Yee Tung Sing paid a surprise visit to the set and talked with the films' director Soi Cheang Pou Soi during the free time in production. Earlier stunt actors were accidentally kicked in the face and sent to the hospital, fortunately after two days of rest there was no major problem. However the crew significantly upgraded the prevention. Whenever they saw the media or neighbors shooting with a device, the staff nervously extended their arms to block the camera and discouraged them. They made every effort to ensure that the shoot was not disturbed. * (2026/07/16) The Soi Cheang Pou Soi directed, Raymond Lam Fung, Terrance Lau Chun Him, Tony Wu Tsz Tung and others starred film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG) shot on location the night before last in Yau Ma Tei. The production team recreated the old Temple Street scenery. Playing Chan Lok Kwan, Lam Fung made his first appearance on set early yesterday morning, performing alongside Lau Chun Him, Wu Tsz Tung, Kenny Wong Tak Bun, and Edward Ma Chi Wai and attracting a large crowd of onlookers. Lam Fung sat at a dai pai dong drinking beer, as Sup Yi Siu Wu Tsz Tung took on the role of the "decision-maker" patrolling the streets, displaying a different presence. During the filming of a conflict scene, an accident occurred. While Wu Tsz Tung's stunt double rehearsed a scene, he accidentally kicked and injured an actor playing Ma Chi Wai's follower, prompting an ambulance to rush him to the hospital for treatment. TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER began filming in April this year. In addition to constructing in Yuen Long a set filled with 1980s and 90s characteristics, earlier filming also took place in the Tsim Sha Tsui East area for scenes featuring Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho), Lau Chun Him, Tyson Yoshi (Ching Chun Yin) and others. This Monday (the 13th), filming moved to the Yau Ma Tei Temple Street area. Some streets had to be closed for specific hours, with various hawker stalls set up selling clothing, handbags, watches, toys, and dai pai dong, as well as antique cars, phone booths, and orange trash bins; all of which were full of nostalgic flavor. The night before last, many locals and tourists gathered to watch. The "Four Sons of Walled City" Wu Tsz Tung as Sup Yi Siu appeared in a "boss" look. The story followed Tony Ho Wah Chiu as the elder accompanying Wu Tsz Tung on a street patrol. Also present was former Bird of Paradise member Gordon Ip Hung Sing as a henchman. During this time they encounter Ma Chi Wai, who is wearing sunglasses, and the two get into a verbal dispute. Around midnight, just after finishing a close-up shot of Sup Yi Siu fighting another gang, preparations were made to film the 'flying kick' scene of Wu Tsz Tung. Before filming began, Wu Tsz Tung's stunt double was rehearsing and accidentally kicked an actor playing Ma Chi Wai's subordinate. The injured person collapsed and could not move. The staff became extremely anxious and rushed over to treat him. Paramedics arrived after receiving the report, carried the injured onto a stretcher bed, and soon another ambulance arrived. The staff repeatedly raised giant umbrellas to stop the media from filming. Police officers also arrived to investigate the situation. Although an accident occurred on set, filming did not stop. At 1:45 a.m., Lam Fung as Chan Lok Kwan arrived at Temple Street. Fans who have been waiting for a long time were excited, raising their phones to film and shouting his name. Lam Fung sat around with Lau Chun Him and Wong Tak Bun to review the script, then filmed a scene of him drinking beer and chatting at a dai pai dong. Some shared footage and photos from the set online, saying they were happy to see celebrities and commented, "TWILIGHT THE FINAL CHAPTER shoots on location on Temple Street, and the props are already prepared. As always, you have to observe proper etiquette when watching a movie shoot. Let's all support Hong Kong-made films together." * (2026/07/16) The Hong Kong drama giant of a generation, famous performing arts and cultural art educator Chung King Fai (King Sir) passed away last month. The Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts yesterday held a "drama master Chung King Fai memorial". Poon Ka Tak, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Chua (Choi Wo Ping), John Chiang Dai Wai and his son-in-law Raymond Cho Wing Lim, Anthon Wong Chau Sun, Poon Chan Leung and his wife Louisa So Yuk Wah, Bowie Lam Bo Yi, Cheung Kwok Ming, Angelina Lo Yuen Yan, Anna Ng Wun Yee, Karen Mok Man Wai's mother Mok Ho Man Yi and the wheelchair bound Cheung Tat Ming attended to pay a final tribute to King Sir. The theme of the memorial was one of King Sir's favorite drama, Thornton Wilder's "SMALL TOWN", as the academy's teachers, students and friends performed the work of King Sir and interspersed with the memory of King Sir; participants included Wong Cho Lam, Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, Chan Kwok Bong and his wife Mimi Lo (Law Man Chong). His nephew Chung Chi Kuen wore Chung King Fai's favorite watch when he appeared on the stage and spoke on behalf of the family. He thanked everyone for their love for King Sir over the years and shared details about King Sir's life outside the stage few knew about, including his love for mahjong and his completely focused passion while enjoying local drama at home in his later years. He revealed Chung King Fai's final wish, "Regarding drama, King Sir has long advocated for making it widely available in secondary schools -- and even establishing it as a graded subject. He noted that drama training teaches not only acting but also life skills, as it requires empathy to understand the experiences and lives of different characters. Furthermore, drama fosters self-confidence and cultivates essential attributes such as maintaining eye contact, clear articulation and team spirit; all of which are very important." The memorial even played Chung King Fai's interviews. Tse Kwan Ho, Chan Kwok Bong, Mok Ka Hiu, Wong Cho Lam took turns to share their experiences with their mentor on the stage. Although Johnnie To Kei Fung was ailing, he still thanked Chung King Fai for his guidance and mentorship with a hoarse voice. As the event neared its end, Tse Kwan Ho, Chan Kwok Bong, Mok Ka Hiu, Wong Cho Lam, Alica Lau Nga Lai, Law Man Chong and others performed MY WAY as a tribute. Chan Kwok Bong said that everyone remembered King Sir in the drama, and there were tears and laughter. When he got sentimental, Chan Kwok Bong was crying so much that he could not speak. Law Man Chong said that when her husband received the news of his mentor's passing he immediately collapsed. However, Chan Kwok Bong also felt that he was the luckiest person among the King Sir's students. He had the opportunity to perform on the stage with King Sir for 7 to 8 years, visited many places, and King Sir even held his hand as they performed. The experience was very hard to forget. He imitated his mentor's dialogue delivery and believed that he would "watch over" the students' performance at the memorial from Heaven. So Yuk Wah and Poon Chan Leung had a difficult time with hiding their sorrow. The former once got choked up as she recalled meeting Chung King Fai at age 20, and saw him as her role model; the latter felt that Chung King Fai's passing was a tremendous loss for Hong Kong, as he made numerous contributions to the Hong Kong show business. He would also remember his mentor's lesson and pointed out that King Sir has never been harsh on his students. He would also guide in a gentlemanly way. Wong Chau Sun regarded Chung King Fai as his benefactor who shaped his entire acting career, praising him for his great kindness and generosity -- noting that Chung once paid out of his own pocket to help other students study abroad. Recently, Wong Chau Sun announced via social media that he would be stepping away from the Hong Kong stage; he planned to work elsewhere -- engaging in film projects, lectures, and stage productions -- while continuing to reside in Hong Kong. John Chiang Dai Wai praised King Sir as a very great mentor, very good in all aspects. From King Sir everyone could get something. "We often talk about the hope that the younger generation would be able to inherit the spirit of our film industry in causal chats." Raymond Cho Wing Lim said that he has collaborated with King Sir on several occasions, the most profound of which was the 2006 situation comedy WELCOME TO THE HOUSE. He recalled that King Sir was quite a gentleman and never interfered with the way other actors were acting. Yet if anyone took the initiative to ask, he would be happy to answer. He thought that the loss of such a good elder and mentor was a great loss for the show business. [ 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.

[ 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.

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 [ 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.

Mary Stephen (Suet Mei Lin) Documentary Rating : IIA Length : 109 mins. Opening at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Opening April 9 2026 at the 50th Hong Kong International Film Festival Opening June 18 2026 [ THE GOLDEN HORSE FILM FESTIVAL ] This poetic documentary blends old photographs, letters, and contemporary footage to explore two parallel "Stephen" families - Virginia Woolf's and the director's own - unfolding in Hong Kong and mainland China between the 1930s and 1960s. Set against colonial rule, war, and revolution, the film quietly examines identity, empire, and memory, bridging personal history with broader political shifts to connect with audiences on both intimate and historical levels. [ 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.

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 prot g 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.

Daphn Mandel, Guy Bertrand Rating : I Length : 37 mins. Opening July 26 2025 [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] Nestled between the skyscrapers of Hong Kong, housing some of high finance's most creative minds, and the gleaming glass and steel boxes of Shenzhen, China's Silicon Valley where the future is being built, lies a hidden world no less exceptional. In this lost country backwater of mountains and vegetable fields, factories still manufacture soy sauce in century old clay pots; Kenny hand makes concrete spacers that hold up some of the world's longest suspension bridges. Cha Guo shines light on the lives of the villagers, craftsmen, farmers and business owners who make up this local village's close-knit community. The people s philosophy and signature are their resilience and their dedication. They embody "Made in Hong Kong" over generations. Cha Guo celebrates the heroes of Hong Kong and the fabric of what makes it and its people synonymous with warmth and the ubiquitous "can do" attitude. The title Cha Guo embodies the many narratives that connect older generations to the younger through the sharing of something savory and heart-warming. Cha guo is a homemade Chinese tea cake traditionally shared at family gatherings and celebrations. The Directors, Daphn Mandel and Guy Bertrand, set out not only to document this village life and heritage but also to capture its distinctly Hong Kong spirit.

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.

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.

Instead, the app gives him four Zeldas, each with a different life and story. For each one, he cooks a meal, part flirtation, part confession, as if the right dish might recover the person he was, or the future he missed. Amos Why, director of the beloved Far Far Away (NYAFF 2022), and co-director Frankie Chung serve a funny, tender Hong Kong romance about old flames, new disappointments, and the strange comfort of not moving on. Around the table, the film catches a food culture under threat, and the small, stubborn memories that survive in what people cook for one another. [ 50TH HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ] While trying to keep his struggling business afloat, a chef goes on a dating app in search of Zelda, his crush from his chatroom days as a teenager. For each Zelda he meets, he makes a tailor-made meal to fit their story. Putting a spotlight on the city's struggling restaurant sector, indie filmmaker Amos WHY and his co-director Frankie Chung's unconventional and bittersweet road movie follows a rootless man who turns to his memories to avoid confronting his unknown future. Is it better to drift with uncertainty, or to stay in your comfort zone whilst tethered to a sinking ship? A MIGHTY ADVENTURE d. Toe Yuen Kin To Animation Rating : I Length : 75 mins.

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

As Hua, a Taiwanese drifter washed up in Macau, he is too soft- hearted to squeeze anyone, his wife gone and his life coming apart. Then Jojo turns up with a million in casino chips and one impossible plan: clear the enormous debt left by her vanished father. The kid needs an adult to gamble for her, and against all better judgment, Hua is it. A one-man disaster and a child with nerve, they work the floors and back rooms and run up against every species of Macau greed, with HK and Taiwan screen legend Elaine Jin anchoring the wreckage. Shot from inside the casino city by a Macau director, it finds the kindness people scrape together once the chips are gone. This film is presented in part with support from the Taipei Cultural Center of TECO in New York. [ 2026 TAIPEI FILM FESTIVAL ] Young JoJo unexpectedly comes into casino chips and seeks to repay her runaway father's debt, asking down-on-his-luck collector Hua to gamble for her. In Macau's chaotic casinos, they form an unlikely alliance. When the final bet arrives, fate strips them of everything, revealing life's true gift. [ 28th UDINE FAR EAST FILM FESTIVAL ] Foreign projects made in Macau tend to be keen on highlighting the glitz and glamour of the city’s casino scene. However, Chao Koi-wang and Hu Chin-ye's I Blew Out the Candles Before Making a Wish (the title comes from the song Half-Adult by defunct Hong Kong pop duo Shine) manages to tell a story about gambling by barely stepping into the city's casinos. This low-key drama is an ode to the people who bet low and lose everything. Call it the anti-Ballad of a Small Player. Loosely inspired by news headlines, Candles follows Jojo (an excellent Mui Cheng-in), a young girl whose father has fled to avoid gambling debts. When she mysteriously picks up several "dead chips", or casino chips that have been taken out of circulation and cannot be exchanged for cash, she believes that she can win enough money to bring her father home. She first asks her seemingly honest teacher (Stanley Yau, of Hong Kong boy band Mirror) to bet the chips and give her the winnings, but he secretly sells the chips to a broker and tells Jojo that he lost everything. It is hinted that he plans to use the money to buy a flat – a pipe dream for any modern urbanite. Cue Hua (Kai Ko), a Taiwanese man who is burdened with a flat he can't afford after his wife (Dada Chen) left him. To afford mortgage payments, Hua works as a debt collector for a local loan shark, but he is far too nice to be competent at his job. While failing miserably at intimidating Jojo and her grandmother Chon (Elaine Jin) to pay up, a friendship of sorts is formed between Hua and Jojo, who still has dead chips in her possession. Even though gambling takes up a significant part of the story, Candles is intentionally almost entirely set in the sleepy residential neighbourhoods of Macau to show off the real sights of the city (the opening shot, an extended zoom-out that reveals the residential buildings surrounding the famous Ruins of Saint Paul's, should give you a clue). Instead of the high rollers, Chao and Hu focus on the fortunes of the small-timers, from a Taiwanese casino dealer (Tuo Tsung-hua) with a sick son to the migrant workers who rent the empty rooms in Hua’s flat. Even though not every character in the film is honest, the script by Chao and Chen Yi-ru also refuses to paint anyone as a villain (even the supposedly intimidating loan shark has a decent side to him). These characters lend the film an authentic charm that only a locally born and raised filmmaker like Chao can pull off. Candles unfolds in such a leisurely pace that it doesn't even seem too bothered whether its characters win or lose. In fact, the entire film can probably be summed up with a single line of dialogue near the end: "Lose today, win tomorrow." While the personal stakes are high for the characters, they all eventually learn that fortunes in Macau can change in the blink of an eye. A casino table is still no place for the fainthearted, but Candles offers solace by saying that no one loses forever. For those who enjoy their stories of small- time criminals and underachievers to be quiet and grounded, this may be the feel-good film of the year. BRING HIM DOWN TO A PORTABLE SIZE d.
