To celebrate Celestial Entertainment and Intercontinental's Shaw Week between the 16th and the 22rd, a special opening party was held to kick off the event. Besides Shaw's boss Sir Run Run Shaw (Siu Yut Fu) and wife Mona Font Yat Wa, past Shaws stars and artists attended, including Gordon Liu Chia Hui (Lau Ka Fai), Cheng Pei Pei and daughter Marsha Yuan Ji Wa and Eugenia Yuan Lai Kei, Ti Lung and wife To Man Ming, Cheng Li (Jeng Lei), Lam Chung, Chen Kuan Tai (Chan Koon Tai), Chin Han (Kam Hong) and wife Ivy Ling Po (Ling Bo), Liu Chia Liang (Lau Ka Leung), Rebecca Pan (Poon Dik Wa), Anthony Lau Wing, Lau Kar Wing, See Ming, Guk Fung, Wong Jing, Maggie Cheung Ho Yi, Charmaine Sheh Si Man, Joyce Tung Lai Ming and Marco Ngai Chun Kit. Celestial Entertainment, which purchased the Shaw film library's 760 classic films two nights ago also announced that the seven classic films that would be shown during the film week with all new copies would be THE EMPRESS DOWAGER (KING GOK KING SING), THE KINGDOM AND THE BEAUTY (GONG SAN MEI YUN), COME DRINK WITH ME (DAI JUI HUP), THE 36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN (SIU LUM SAM SUP LOK FONG), THE BLOOD BROTHERS (CHI MA), LET'S MAKE LAUGH (BIU CHOR CHUT YUT CHING), and HONG KONG NOCTURNE (HEUNG GONG FA YUET YEH). To prevent piracy, the Shaw's products would be release in nine areas in Asia on December 5 at the same time. Star of LOVE ETERNE (Leung San Bat Yu Jook Ying Toi) Ivy Ling Po expressed her appreciation for Uncle Six (Siu Yut Fu) because none of these classic movies that left so many with beautiful memories might have been made without him. She also wished Sir Shaw and Ms. Fong good health. Guest Karen Morris (Mok Man Wai) sang LOVER'S TEAR (CHING YUN DIK NGAN LUI) and GIVE ME A KISS (CUP NGOR YUT GOR MUN). After the show, Mok Man Wai has expressed nervousness because she was performing in front of so many veterans. Mok Man Wai has seen some Shaw's films and Chow Yun Fat and Cora Miao (Liu Yin Yun)'s LOVE IN A FALLEN CITY (KING SING JI LUEN) left her with the deepest impression. She was very pleased that classic films would finally reappear so her generation would have a chance to enjoy them as well. She is looking forward to see THE BLOOD BROTHERS. Karen also revealed that her brother has participated in the new copy production. He was responsible for subtitle translations. She was proud that her family would lend a hand.
