G.E.M. (Tang Chi Kei)'s autobiographic film AGAINST THE WIND (YUT LO YIK FUNG) two nights ago held its premiere. Friends Laurinda Ho Chiu Lin, Renee Lee Wan, Grace Wong Kwan Hing, Sherman Chung Shu Man, Sukie Chung Shu Kei and Alfred Hui Ting Hung showed their support. The 25 year old G.E.M. felt that at different age she should have different experience. In the film she shared with young people how she chased her dream. Speaking of the film's lacking Mainland box office performance, G.E.M. said, "I just want to share my experience through the film, I have no box office or number expectation. Earlier I was just joking. Someone asked me how many people I would like to watch the movie, I said 10 million people would be good." As for former boyfriend Yoga Lin's wedding, G.E.M. said that they no longer had contact after the break up, but she has congratulated him in other interviews. Will she invite him to attend her Taiwan concert? She said that she has not planned to perform in Taiwan yet. A report claimed that back then G.E.M. went to Taiwan alone to celebrate the Lunar New Year's Eve with Yoga Lin's mother. She said, "It's already in the past, I won't bring up the past again." G.E.M. even said if she had a new romance she would not announce it until the wedding. Was she afraid of dating people in the industry? She said, "I won't resist, it's not like I am afraid that it would die when exposed. I only feel that I don't need to withstand different people's looks and pressure." Ho Chiu Lin and Lee Wan appeared in the film. They said that G.E.M. did not limit their topics. They talked about G.E.M.'s view on love. Did the movie mention Yoga Lin? Chiu Lin said, "It was one of her relationships, it features her view on love." Chiu Lin's former boyfriend Kenji Wu said that he did not like all the talk from his girlfriend's friends. Chiu Lin avoided talking about the reference to G.E.M. Lee Wan also was too busy with her daughter to be upset with the report. She even welcomed suitors but she did not plan to date again. Right now she wanted to focus on work.

The Media Asia film TRIVISA (SHU DAI JIU FUNG) yesterday celebrated its numerous success with Johnnie TO Kei Fung, Yau Nai Hoi, Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Frank Au Hok Man, Vicky Wong Wai Kit and others. TRIVISA has already won the Golden Horse Award for Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing. This year Ka Tung won the Hong Kong Film Critic Society's Best Actor award; Siu Chai was also nominated for the Asia Pacific Film Festival Best Actor award. Siu Chai happily said, "I am already very happy about the nomination. I really appreciate To Kei Fung for giving me the chance to play a bad guy."

Although he was happy about being nominated, Siu Chai was upset when he mentioned his injury from his motocross race. "I really am a little upset! Due to the weather, my motorcycle ran into the forest and had to be rescued by helicopter. In the end I was 1,000 kilometers away from finishing the 12,000 kilometer race. This time was also the most difficult! Even though I was upset I could do anything about it. After the race half of the top ten participants had broken arms and legs, my body was still whole even though I didn't finish the race."

Later Siu Chai said, "At the time after X-ray, I was on bed rest. Then I saw those who arrived later with very severe injuries. Some were unconscious, some had broken thigh bone, I immediately got up to offer them my bed......the next time I race I would participate in a car race. At least it's covered in a metal frame! (How is your injury now?) I can't get up too quickly, I can't carry anything heavy either. The funniest part was at the time I did a gesture to ask the French doctor whether I could keep riding the motorcycle, he thought I was asking about sex, haha." Later, Siu Chai would have Lunar New Year dinner with his parents in Taiwan then fly to perform in the U.S.

Best Actor award winner Lam Ka Tung happily said that he was still elated. "At the moment when I learned that I won, my mind immediately went through 30 years. Among that was the 'all for naught' period. This time was very encouraging. The award seemed to have flown over suddenly, I really got a little dizzy!"

Would the award strengthen Ka Tung's Hong Kong Film Award confidence? He said that he would already be very happy with the nomination. He would not deliberately think about the award and hoped that TRIVISA would be able to make a sequel.

Speaking of Andy Lau Tak Wa's injury, Ka Tung said that it would not be suitable to disturb him at this time. Thus he only sent a text message and hoped that Wa Jai would recover soon. In addition, Ka Tung was working on a Lunar New Year horror film. Playing a tomb raider he even had to open up a tomb and a coffin. He said that shooting something like that at the end of the year, he definitely would get lai see.

Jackie Chan and director Stanley Tong Kwai Lai teamed up again for the Lunar New Year film KUNG FU YOGA, which will open February 16th in Hong Kong. Two days ago, Jackie Chan with Aarif Rahman (Lee Chi Ting), Zhang Yixing, Muqimiya attended the Beijing promotion. They played games and held lucky drawing with the audience and the atmosphere was as cheerful as the Lunar New Year. Jackie Chan has always taken risks for his movies, Lee Chi Ting even revealed that after a 5 hour operation he insisted on working with him on an action scene for several hours before recovering.

With the Spring Festival on the way, Jackie Chan brought Lee Chi Ting, Zhang Yixing and othres to wish the audience a Happy new Year. He lamented that so many viewers grew up with his movies, but he could not take a photo with each of them, give them an autograph. He even said that he liked film too much. "Film is my life. I want to keep making it to keep bringing everyone joy. However time spares no one, I don't know how many years I can keep going."

Lee Chi Ting and Zhang Yixing both agreed that they grew up with Jackie Chan's films. They never imagined that today they would be lucky enough to work with him. Indian actor Sonu Sood said, "The Indian audience also likes Jackie Chan movies very much. In addition, many Indian filmmakers want to add a variety of stunts into their own work only after watching Jackie Chan movies."

Lee Chi Ting recalled his fight scene with Jackie Chan in Iceland and lamented that Jackie Chan was very professional. He even revealed that at the time Jackie Chan just had a 5 hour long surgery and not yet recovered, but he kept it from everyone and insisted on finishing hours of action scenes. His professionalism and risk taking made people respect him. Zhang Yixing could not help but say to Jackie Chan, "Big Brother, how do you do it? Can you teach me how to risk my life?" Jackie Chan replied, "My life is like this, it doesn't matter."

KUNG FU YOGA's production span Europe and Asia, land, air and sea, invested hundreds of millions and even included the city of extravagance, Dubai. In the film Jackie Chan led Lee Chi Ting and Zhang Yixing to form the "kung fu trio" on a treasure hunt in Dubai. The team received top class treatment from Dubai. The Dubai royal family loaned over 70 super sports cars. The prince of Dubai even loaned the only and one in the entire world super sports car Devel Sixteen just for the most luxurious car chase. The lion that shared a car with Jackie Chan in the race was on loan fron the princess of Dubai.

Once Jackie Chan accidentally scratched the luxury car, the Dubai royal family sent a new one the next day. In order to make it the same as the original color the blue car was covered with a yellow exterior for the convenience of the production. Jackie Chan stated, "I am beyond touched!"

Wilfred Lau Ho Lung yesterday attended an anti crime event. He revealed that in the past three months he was busy with the film CHASING THE DRAGON (JUI LUNG), going on locations in Hong Kong, Thailand and Foshan. The production has gone very smoothly, but in Thailand he lost hs underwear. Si Hing stated, "That felt very evil!"

Si Hing said that each time he went to work overseas, he would wash his own underwear. while shooting in Thailand, he returned to his room to shower and put his dirty laundry in the bathroom trash can to prepare to wash after dinner. Then when he returned to his room again his underwear vanished. "My first impression was no one would have any reason to steal a man's underwear, I don't have any underwear to wear! Luckily after asking the hotel, they said that they took my laundry to wash and would later return it to me. When I got back I got a bag of bras and panties, wow! Whose are these! Luckily after looking awhile I found my own clothes."

In CHASING THE DRAGON, Si Hing would fight one against seven. In the story he came with the "Strongest in the Universe" Donnie Yen Chi Tan from Chaozhou. When they started the Chaozhou gang was only vicious and brutal. During the fight Si Hing aggravated his old wound and twisted his leg. Thankfully the injuries were minor, he should recover after resting for awhile.

G.E.M. (Tang Chi Kei) earlier was a guest on the TVB Entertainment News station program STARTALK and discussed her first documentary AGAINST THE WIND. She said that she has never given up on the city of Hong Kong and its fans. She would continue to work on Cantonese songs.

G.E.M. once minded all the earlier reports. She said, "If I say I didn't care t would truly sound too official. How can I not care? With this documentary I only want to use my own angle to tell everyone the truth, I didn't deliberately avoid anything." G.E.M. also said, "Speaking of the most upsetting report, it probably was at my 2014 concert when I had to face the most severe public opinion of my life. My Weibo had over posts from 180,000 people. Many people were yelling at me. The most heartbreaking was that the event has already spoken up on my behalf, no one cared at all as they kept criticizing me. I felt very dark." G.E.M. admitted that she once removed the app from her mobile photo. She said, "Because at the time I would cry as soon as I saw the posts. I really wanted to get away."

Speaking on the online assault on her, she said, "If I was in a good mood, I wouldn't feel much from the online criticism. However if I wasn't, especially when I was hungry, I might be very upset, very bothered." She also said, "As for the fashion criticism, I really took the evidence to the company and said, 'I told you I won't wear that, can you see that now!'"

As for her old flame Yoga Lin, G.E.M. said, "Love makes you numb. You get lost in it. At the time I didn't sense that I was too naive, but actually people around me thought I wasn't realistic. Ultimately it was the longest relationship I had after getting into the business, so it was its effect on me. However I wasn't scarred, when you face it with time you can be fine." She also said, "I have never publicized anything, only once on my personal facebook account I wrote something and people published it. (Did a friend betray you?) Yes, after that, I unfriended a lot of people in facebook." Would she announce her next relationship? G.E.M. said, "No, because I have to keep the other person's feeling in mind. Right now I might not announce anything until my wedding. I want to date but I am in no hurry."

The Lunar New Year YUPPIE FANTASIA (SIU NAM YUN JAU GEI 3)'s actors Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Larine Tang Yueping, Babyjohn Choi Hong Yik, Louis Cheung Kai Chung and Hedwig Tam Sin Yin yesterday promoted. They divided into two teams to make sandwiches for the audience to try. Finishing the final version of the film earlier, Ah Tan said that he would not ruin his "little guy" label and hoped that it would provide a Happy New Year to the audience.

Stephen Chow Sing Chi's new film JOURNEY TO THE WEST: THE DEMONS STRIKE BACK was YUPPIE FANTASIA 3's biggest competition. Ah Tan said, "It isn't the only one, other foreign blockbusters will be released too. The Lunar New Year should be cheerful, should only one film be released? Of course Sing Yeh is in a class of his own, we have own our ways too. The most important is for the audience to have fun." Ah Tan even revealed that the boss was very pleased with the film. "Many people would ask 'would you ruin the little guy label?', after watching the movie I could live with it. Don't worry, everyone would find out when they go, he is still the same 'Leung Foon'." Chau Sau Na also looked forward to the film's official release very much. She said that she already did her part as an actor and the box office numbers would be hard to control. She hoped that with the classic YUPPIE FANTASIA, Leung Foon 20 years later would still be relatable to everyone. Tang Yueping said that the younger generation might not have seen YUPPIE, it was a good opportunity to provide everyone with an understanding of the little guy. She evn praised her on screen father Ah Tan for being very precise with capturing the state of mind.

Yesterday was Cheung Kai Chung and his wife Kay Tse On Kay's 10th anniversary. He posted his wedding photo on social media, but his wife made fun of him for posting a photo from an old newspaper. Ah Chung explained that the photos were shot on film and the wedding photos were on the old computer. As for how he would celebrate, he said, "Originally I plan a dinner, but I have to work in the Mainland. I asked my wife and she said work came first. So I plan to give her the Mainland salary." Ah Chung said that he finally understood why stars had to wear sunglasses. "I really didn't like having my picture taken before, even less with us as a couple. Now I feel that the media photos from all those years could be used as a record. When I know I haven't had enough sleep I would want sunglasses when I go out, then I wouldn't be caught with my eyes half closed." Ah Chung thanked his wife again for all the happiness she has given him. He would keep working hard from now on and perform more comedy to cheer her up.

Stephen Chow Sing Chi and Tsui Hark's JOURNEY TO THE WEST: THE DEMONS STRIKE BACK will open on the Lunar New Year's Day. The "Four Great Comedy Stars" Chet Lam Yat Fung, Shaun Tam Chun Yin, Jiro Lee Seung Ching and Fire Lee (For For) will provide the Cantonese voices for the Master and Disciples quartet. Earlier the Cantonese version voice work went on for two days in a row. Sing Yeh personally supervised and instructed the four on the performance. Sing Yeh even invited master class Tang Monk Law Kar Ying to return as the voice of the Tang Monk's master.

Tam Chun Yin provided his voice to Sun Wukong. Sing Yeh studied the lines with. He suddenly pointed at the monitor and said to Tam Chun Yin, "You have to 'rape' this mouth!" Sing Yeh could not help but laugh after saying it, explaining that this was a voice acting slang. It meant to force the dubbing without synchronizing with the lips, not raping the mouth.

Lam Yat Fung after JOURNEY TO THE WEST: CONQUERING THE DEMONS again provided his voice to Tang Monk. He said that the Wen Zhang played Tang Monk and the Kris Wu Yifan played Tang Monk were drastically different. This time his voice as the Wu Yifan played Tang Monk would be more energetic, like a child with lower emotional quotient and a little temper. For For provided his voice to Sand Monk and revealed that he did one line over 20 times because Sing Yeh wanted different tones.

The Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui directed and starred new film YUPPIE FANTASIA 3 (SIU NAM YUN JAU GEI 3 ji NG GA YAU HEI) will open during the Lunar New Year. The otakus not only looked forward to Chrissie Chau Sau Na's bath with Ah Tan, but also to Larine Tang Yueping who played Ah Tan's daughter.

Larine not only bared all for a swimming but also got intimate with the tomboy Hedwig Tam Sin Yin. They not only whispered sweet nothing but also got intimate with arm around the shoulder. Larine even surprised her with a kiss. In another scene they shared a tight embrace. Speaking of baring her back, Larine admitted that was not embarrassing enough. "I took all the safety precaution. Daddy really took care of me, he was afraid that my acting would be affected and cleared the set. (Was the kiss with a girl awkward?) Yes, because I haven't kissed a girl before! However I lost out on the wide shot. Because we shot the close up first, the kiss wasn't passionate enough. Then we got a little more daring, the kiss was more precise on the wide shot." Tam Sin Yin said that the shoot was very comfortable. "Although I haven't had too many kiss scenes with guys, this time I was more comfortable with a girl. Maybe it's because I am a girl too!"

Ah Tan earlier appeared with Larine on Carol Cheng Yui Ling's radio program. 27 years ago they played a couple so this time could be considered a "family reunion" for the trio. Thus Ah Tan revealed as soon as he saw Do Do, "This grl was very nervous before. While waiting outside to see Ma, she suddenly said that she really had to go and ran into the men's room!"

Louis Koo says playing a couple with Charmaine Sheh is already terrifying

Julian Cheung will dismember Gordon Lam

courtesy of on.cc

Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Charmaine Sheh Si Man, Ava Liu (Yu Kiu) and others yesterday attended their new film SEUNG JOI NEI JOR YAU (ALWAYS AROUND YOU)'s worship ceremony. Ah Sa said that earlier she went to the BIG BANG concert despite being ill. When she left she forgot her wallet. Luckily someone generously loaned her money to help out. On the other hand Goo Jai admitted that the film version of A STEP INTO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) will start production, but its preparation would require time. For now he had no details.

Yesterday Chilam was dressed casually. He revealed that in the film his character was hopeless but would encourage someone else who was without hope, Ah Sa. He would also dismember Gordon Lam Ka Tung. Chilam admitted that he has never played this type of character. To get into character he spent a lot of time in make up. He joked normally he was too bright and brilliant, to coordinate with his look he went out at night. If he told his wife she would not believe him.

Chilam said that he has always wanted to work with Ah Sa and was worried that her vocal cord had problems that might spread to him. Ah Sa said, "I am exhausted. When Chilam saw me he sang the off key version of GIRL SCHOOL GUY STUDENT. He is very funny."

Ah Sa went to the BIG BANG concert, which she said on social media was the most difficult concert she has ever attended. She explained, "My stomach was acting up and I went over a dozen times. I was already numb all over. When I got there I had to wait and stand. I was cold too. People around me all said that I was pale, I almost fainted. When I left, I saw several people fainting." Chilam joked, "Were you so tired that you GD but not GD? Haha."

Ah Sa said, "It was very hard to get a ride. The transportation was too inconvenient. I believed the event did its best, but it still had room for improvement." When she left with her friend, she realized that she did not bring her wallet. Ah Sa gratefully said, "It's really fortunate in the misfortune, Hong Kong people are really nice and kind. Someone loaned me 11 bucks, actually someone gave. (Did you give the money to you because they recognized you?) I don't know, but the person was really nice. (Did someone recognize you on the mini bus?) I wore a medical mask!"

Goo Jai and Ah Sheh played a couple. He joked that although he was not as terrifying as Chilam's dismemberment scene, playing a loving couple with Ah Sheh was very terrifying too. Ah Sheh worked on her first supernatural film. Earlier she watched horror film earlier to study the scared expression. However after less than three minutes she was already very afraid. Goo Jai said, "The opening credit is still running after three minutes." Ah Sheh said that she was not too scared during the shoot because she already knew the story. The most terrifying was when she read the script. She had to separate it several times before finishing it.

In addition, the series A STEP INTO THE PAST was rumored to be made into a film. Goo Jai admitted that. As for when it would start production, he said, "When it starts it will naturally start, but because the series was long and had a lot of characters, it will need time to be written and prepare for. (Which actors will participate?) I don't know, I am just an actor. I will worry about it when the script is done."

Artists Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Larine Tang Yueping and Hedwig Tam Sin Yin yesterday promoted the Lunar New Year film YUPPIE FANTASIA 3 (SIU NAM YUN JAU GEI 3 ji NG GA YAU HEI). Everyone prepared 500 HK$ 20 lai see and gave them away with the leadership of film company workers and security. The crowd surrounded them as soon as they took out the lai see like a feeding frenzy. The lai see went in a flash.

Chau Sau Na before said that she was not afraid of the chaos. Would she put in her own "flash card" in the lai see? She said, "Brother Tan took them all, you have to ask him!" Speaking of protecting the three beauties, Ah Tan said, "Sister Na is the most important!" Then he looked at Larine, "You can take care of yourself." Larine said, "Aside from my attractive figure, I know kick boxing. I can protect them!"

The Lawrence Cheng Tan Shu directed and starred Lunar New Year film YUPPIE FANTASIA (SIU NAM YUN JAU GEI 3 ji NG GA YAU HEI) will open on the Lunar 29th. Playing the "man whore" Louis Cheung Kai Cheung and Harriet Yang Sze Man will have a "tasteful" flirting scene. Ah Chung brought Shrimp Head to a restaurant kitchen to "mess around" and told dirty jokes. Ah Chung even poked fun of Ah Tan's classic song WORDS FOR THE MOST BELOVED monologue. He said to Shrimp Head, "You remind me of a song, a careless driver and a wet tunnel." Shrimp Head said, "I am already wet......on my hands! It's so hot here, my hands are sweating!" Shrimp Head then rubbed olive oil on Ah Chung. Ah Chung said, "Olive comfortable?"

Ah Chung said, "I always put oil on! It's child's play!" Shrimp Head sad, "I very quickly rub his body. I of course like Siu Chi Fung (Dean) more than Cheung Kai Chung, but I also like Cheung Kai Chung's wife. I am a Kay (Tse On Kay) fan."

Andy Lau says that he has to stay in the hospital for 6 to 8 weeks
courtesy of on.cc

Andy Lau Tak Wa's company yesterday issued a statement and said that Wa Jai's pelvus suffered multiple fractures. Recovery would require time, as long as 9 months. His schedule this year would absolutely be affected, including the originally scheduled year crossing concert series. Wa Jai also stated on his personal blog that he would rest in hopes of recovering soon. He wished that no one would worry too much.

Yesterday Lau Tak Wa's company Topman Global said in a statement, "Mr. Lau Tak Wa on January 17 2017 suffered injuries from falling off a horse while working on a commercial in Thailand. He was immediately treated in Thailand, and on January 18 he was flown back to Hong Kong on a medical charter. After the medical team's examinations, currently his pelvis suffered multiple fractures with muscle and tendon injuries. Mr Lau followed the doctor's suggestions, and would need about 6 to 8 weeks of in hospital treatment and 6 to 9 months of rehabilitation and recovery."

Wa Jai later again thanked everyone for their concern and wished that everyone would wish him a speedy recovery. "Thank you everyone, the media, music and film fans and all caring friends for your enthusiastic concern and assistance. The company on behalf of Mr. Lau is the most grateful. The company will immediately inform everyone of any further news in the future, please do not worry." Wa Jai also posted on his official blog, "With the entire medical team's effort the past few days, my condition has stabilized; I know your pain won't be smaller or less than mine! I will quietly rest and recover soon!"

As an artist, Wa Jai's months of suspension not only affected hs 2017 to 2018 concerts but also his films. The long recovery time might leave Wa Jai's concerts up in the air, but Media Asia has not received any cancellation notice from Wa Jai. Wa Ja hoped that he would be able to return before the end of the year, as he would not want to disappoint his fans. In addition, Wa Ja had four films included SHOCK WAVE (CHAK DAN JUEN GA). He was also rumored to participate in COLD WAR 3 (HONG JIN 3) at the end of the year and reprise his role as the Security Bureau secretary. Whether the accident would affect each film's release date and production plans, it would remain unknown.

Chrissie Chau Sau Na in the Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui starred Lunar New Year film YUPPIE FANTASIA 3 (SIU NAM YUN JAU GEI 3 ji NG GA YAU HEI) played a sexy secretary and had many intimate scenes with Cheng Tan Shui. They even went to a hotel room for "lunch", a bed scene in sexy underwear! Chau Sau Na said, "This shoot needed the set to be cleared because the whole room could be seen in a wide shot. We also had two teams; each time after one shot the director had to exit the room because the playback monitor was in another room. After finishing he would come back to shoot again. The shoot actually wasn't easy."

Chau Sau Na said that the bed scene with Cheng Tan Shui was not awkward. Instead because they have worked together for awhile they have become familiar. When they lovingly stared at teach other they often cracked up. Cheng Tan Shui thanked Chau Sau Na for trusting him. "In the film Sister Na was my secretary and my secret lover. She quit in the hotel room, which was rather absurd. However I already wrote it in the script long ago. During table read I explained it very clearly, so she was very at ease with leaving the entire matter to me. Instead I was the one who was nervous, I didn't want to be unworthy of her trust in me."

The Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui written, directed and starred Lunar New Year film YUPPIE FANTASIA 3 (SIU NAM YUN JAU GEI 3 ji NG GA YAU HEI) held a premiere two nights ago. Attendees included Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Larine Tang Yueping, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Babyjohn Choi Hong Yik and Hedwig Tam Sin Yin. Charmaine Sheh Si Man and Angie Shum Yat Ka also showed their support.

Lead actress Sister Na said that many goddesses have appeared in the two previous installments. Earlier when Ah Tan asked her to play a goddess she declined. Later the character was different and she agreed. She also revealed in one scene she had to be on top of Brother Tan. "At the time I was afraid of crushing him, so I ate less before." Did Brother Tan deliberately arranged this scene for himself? He said, "I didn't just make this scene for myself, directors can have their own say like this. Since Sister Na agreed, she knew that I wasn't trying to 'take advantage'. The story required it."

Tang Yueping sad that she made the dress herself. She has always like to make clothes and would improve on the clothes she bought. Later she will take a fashion design course in hopes of making her own label.

She kept fixing her dress on the stage, was she afraid of wardrobe malfunction? She said, "Actually I was very nervous about the movie. It was the first time I watched it. Earlier during editing I was a little displeased with my own voice work, but no matter good or bad I hope everyone would give me more suggestions. The best would be taking a few more stomps at me, which would make me grow up faster." Would she take the baton from Sister Na as a sexy goddess? She praised Sister Na's sexiness as coming from within. She was her own sexy goddess, both pretty and well rounded. She was a worthy role model. She wanted to become a "martial art action goddess" herself.

Shum Yat Ka was asked about her rumored boyfriend and record company boss Jason Wong's rumor with the pregnant Jinny Ng Yeuk Hei. She was shocked to see the report and said that the published birthday photo was an old photo. She also revealed that she has been celebrating the boss' birthday in recent years with the company, but she has not seen Ng Yeuk Hei. She believed that they were probably friends.

Nicholas Tse Ting Fung, Jung Yong-Hwa and Michelle Wai Sze Nga starred in the film COOK UP A STORM (KUET JIN SIK SUN), which will open on February 10th in Hong Kong. Yesterday the trio promoted their new film with a HK$ 10,000 dish of beef chow fun to raise fund for charity at a Central street stall. Yong-Hwa said that while acting with Ting Fung they had no language barrier, they were even unable to get the take in one try.

Ting Fung said that he made "crispy beef tendon chow fun", which he has improved upon and could not be had at other street stalls. He even made at least three dishes and used black truffle salt, making them even more valuable. Finally each dish of the beef chow fun was sold for HK$ 10,000 to raise fund for Redford Charitable Foundation. Yong-Hwa and Sze Nga gave away cookies to the guests.

Later Ting Fung sad that he really liked the street stall's cooking sounds and cheerful atmosphere. When he was little and lived in Shatin he often went to the nearby Lung Hang Estate's street stalls. Ting Fung also revealed that he tried cooking with the street stall stove top, which he joked was like catching bugs. "Today I am dumb, I wore a pair of torn pants here. When I turned on the stove top with my leg, suddenly I felt very hot."

Playing an assistant in the film, Wai Sze Nga said that she was responsible for tasting today. She tried a piece of beef tendon. "A dish of beef tendon chow fun costs HK$ 10,000, I had a piece that must be worth HK$ 1,000." She said that it felt like beef jerky. Ting Fung said that the beef tendon was full of collagen, which was good for girls' skin. This time he used a healthier way to cook, so the collagen was preserved even better.

Did Sze Nga learn cooking from Ting Fung? She stated, "During the shoot Ting Fung really cooked, I learned but it was too complicated. I gave up. What was the most amazing about hm was that he made the food as pretty as artwork." Suddenly she even asked if Ting Fung accepted students. Ting Fung smiled but did not answer.

Yong-Hwa said that making COOK UP A STORM made him interested in cooking, now pasta was his best dish. Did he want to learn any New Year dish? Yong-Hwa stated, "I really want to learn, I want to learn to make dumplings the most." Did he learn from Ting Fung? He praised Ting Fung on his apple tart, which was so delicious that he still remembered it today. Ting Fung immediately said that it was very easy to make and could teach Yong-Hwa. "I also made an online platform to teach everyone to cook both Chinese and foreign dishes."

In the film they had a scene in which they had three and a half pages of dialogue. Ting Fung said that he spoke Chinese while Yong-Hwa spoke Korean. Although they did not understand each other, they only rehearsed once before and he was worried, that scene did not end up in a bad take due to language problem. How did Yong-Hwa perform without understanding? He stated, "I didn't understand Ting Fung's lines, I relied on remembering Ting Fung's expressions and tone during rehearsal to follow along."

Later, Ting Fung was asked about the Mainland media's photo of him kissing Faye Wong on the cheek at the airport. He answered, "Really! Oh! (You guys are so sweet!) Oh!" Will they spend the Lunar New Year together? He stated, "I am not answering questions like those." However he said that he will remain in Hong Kong for the Lunar New Year, then he will promote the film on the 18 city tour.

Stephen Chow Sing Chi, director Tsui Hark and Mainland actor Kris Wu Yifan were guests on Cable's Film Montage for their film JOURNEY TO THE WEST: THE DEMONS STRIKE BACK. Everyone knew about the JOURNEY TO THE WEST characters, but Sing Yeh named "Young Fresh Meat" Wu Yifan to the role of Tang Monk. When asked for the reason Sing Yeh said, "Of course it's acting. Other than acting, what else does he have? Handsome? I don't think so!" Sing Yeh pointed at Tsui Hark and said, "How can you even compare!"

Tsui Hark said, "I like him for his looks, he looks even better bald!" Sing Yeh covered his mouth and snickered. "The director's opinion is certain to be different, we have a lot of differences but having differences is a good thing! For example he said since everyone who made JOURNEY TO THE WEST used special effects, we wouldn't. Aren't we screwed!" What was different about the new film and other JOURNEY films? Sing Yeh said, "Aside from no special effect, actually nothing is different!"

Wu Yifan was very excited and honored to be able to work wth two film industry heavyweights Sing Yeh and Tsui Hark. He said that they were rather demanding. When asked how high his demands were, Sing Yeh looked at the ceiling and said, "It's higher than here!"
