Film industry new comers Lemon Yip Chi Yu and Brian Yuen Chung Yeung along with their boss Checkley Sin Kwok Lam two nights ago attended the Yan Chai Hospital charity ball. Lemon happily said that in the film OUR DAYS (NGOR MOON DIK 6E BAN) played the class teacher as the lead. She revealed that she had scenes with Eric Suen Yiu Wai, who played a sassy teacher. However they had no kiss scene. Did Suen Yiu Wai teach her about acting? She said, "yes, once I was nervous and he taught me how to act. Master (Sin Kwok Lam) advised me." She said that although she has studied kung fu for over a decade, this was the first time she had a fight scene. She was even bruised all over in the process and needed cover up make up the next year to be able to wear a short dress. Brian said that in the film he played a student. He stated that producer Sin Kwok Lam was very demanding, which made me very nervous.

Ai Wai, Rachel Lam Hei Tung, Pinky Cheung Man Chi, Mannyan Lam, Lawrence Chou Chun Wai and Deon Cheung Chung Chi yesterday promoted their new film LA LOL (NGOR LO POR MEI GIT FUN) in Sham Shui Po. First time lead Ai Wai performed a mock sedan door kick in to welcome his two on screen wives Rachel and Pinky. Producer Rachel broke down in tears when Ai Wai's ability of being the lead actor was questioned. Ai Wai and Pinky were moved.

Ai Wai said that he was nervous. "My feelings are mixed. This film can be said as my beginning in the film industry and maybe the end as well. If it doesn't perform well, in a way it denies all the efforts of the past 40 years. 40 years weren't easy, I am very proud of myself for never giving up. Few people have that history! The film's performance to me, the company and Rachel, who fought off all the different opinions in casting me, will be a challenge. I hope everyone will support Ai Wai ticket by ticket, so I can successfully qualify!" Rachel said, "Some after watching the movie really like it, but asks why Ai Wai? I was very heartbroken after hearing that! Some viewers feels that they didn't have spent any money to watch the support king for 40 years, why do they have to pay to watch his movie at the cinema. This is the first time he got to this spot, I hope everyone would give him a chance!"

Pinky admitted that she would support them to the end. "Rachel and I have known each other from the start. She is very talented. Although lately I have to work on a series, I asked TVB for a favor and took time off to support her completely! Ai Wai gave a lot of effort, I hope everyone would support Ai Wai. Hong Kong viewers would support domestic productions more!" Mannyan performed the film theme song UNSEEN EXISTENCE and said about her sister Rachel breaking down in front of everyone. She said, "I just saw her eyes were all red, but she instead encouraged me to concentrate on singing the song well. I know she has a lot of pressure, and she is very demanding of herself. She didn't get much sleep from such a big project."

Carina Lau Ka Ling, Cally Kwong Mei Wan and Charmaine Sheh Sze Man yesterday attended a Central restaurant opening ribbon cutting ceremony. Stating that she would like to run some interesting businesses, Ka Ling released her own fashion brand that recently has broken even. Since the company was still in its beginning stages, Ka Ling was optimistic about the Mainland's developing market in the future. However, Ka Ling admitted that her biggest interest was still acting. Thus she took three movie roles in one breath this year. One of them will be the Tsui Hark produced DETECTIVE DEE 3 (DIK YUN KIT 3), in which she will reprise her role as Wu Zetian. The role will require many hours in make up and costumes again, she joked that she expected hardship but she liked acting. It will be worth everything.

Ka Ling also was full of ideas, other than acting she even prepared to form a film company and invest in movie productions. Will her new company expect her husband Tony Leung Chiu Wai to perform? Will she as the producer suppress her husband's market rate? She said, "Of course I will have plans for him, he won't be able to turn down offers! As for salary naturally it won't be more or less, he will probably get a bonus!" Will she expect Wong Kar Wai to direct as well? She said that she will also have plans for Big Director Wong, but will she not be afraid of spending a lot of time and money? Ka Ling joked, "I will stipulate in the contract that I won't pay if the production will run over, because I won't have any money!"

Will Ka Ling set her husband's work schedule so he will be able to go home on time? Ka Ling laughed and said, "That won't be necessary, it won't matter if he goes home or not!" She admitted that the current Hong Kong films are falling behind. She as a part of the Hong Kong film industry will have to support film. In particular a lot of stories have happened in the first half of her life. She has thought about using her life as a blueprint to make a inspirational women's film.

Sheh Sze Man said that both her mother and brother are good cooks. She once thought about opening a supper club, but she knew that with her bold personality she would often give meals away for free. Thus she would definitely lose money in the restaurant business. Recently she and Dayo Wong Tze Wah have been working on DUNG DUK DUT GUNG (STAND UP SPECIAL AGENT), Ah Sheh said that on the first day of work she already asked Tze Wah to take her to dinner, he actually did not even have "cent" on him. Of course in the end he was unable to. Ah Sheh brought it up again a few days ago, Tze Wah also had the excuse of leaving his wallet and phone in the car. Naturally she paid the bill again.

BabyJohn Choi Hong Yik, Chin Siu Ho, Susan Shaw Yam Yam, Law Mong, and Malaysia's "otaku goddess" Lin Ming-Chen yesterday promoted their new film in Mongkok.

Hong Kong Film Award Best Visual Effects winner Eddy Wong Wang Hin started a Chinese vampire theme first Hong Kong film created virtual reality game. Lin Ming-Chen said that normally she would play zombie video games, but after trying this one she stated, "It truly is too horrifying because the vampires are very realistic. They would surround you from everywhere, I really was scared to death!" Choi Hong Yik said, "The feeling is like returning to the set, I rather enjoy it. The only thing missing is Brother Siu Ho fighting even more vampires with me than we did in the film. The most imitate is hearing on screen Grandma Sister Yam Yam's voice. Thanks to Brother Siu Ho's training and my little knack for video games, I got a very high score."

Playing a vampire in the film, Lin Ming-Chen had a scene in which she was on top of BabyJohn. Lin Ming-Chen said that she completely trusted BabyJohn. BabyJohn said that he would take his wife to see the movie. He said, "Basically I have broadcast to all my friends to tell everyone to watch it. (Aren't you afraid that your wife would be jealous of your intimate scene with the goddess class Ming-Chen?) Absolutely not, my wife and I already trust each other a lot. During the shoot we had no awkwardness because we rehearsed it before. However the rehearsal was a little awkward, Ming-Chen trusted me a lot though."

courtesy of on.cc

Artists Ai Wai and Rachel Lam Hei Tung yesterday promoted their new film LA LOL (NGOR LO POR MEI GIT FUN) in Sham Shui Po and gave away promotional flyers and memorabilia.

Ai Wai got a rare lead actor role in the new film, of course he asked his friends to support him. He said, "I asked some friends for their support, some of them turned around and asked me for tickets. Wouldn't that be me supporting them, not them supporting me? Today originally I wanted to sing WIDE OCEAN, EMPTY SKY, the lyrics of which went 'How many times, faced with cold eyes and ridicule, never give up my heart's ideal!' I toughed out 40 years in this business, so my endurance is decent. This time I really have to go for it once. People say after you fall you can get back up, but at my age if this time is a box office flop I might not be able to stand. I hope everyone would support it!"

Rachel stated that she would continue to support Ai Wai and promote the new film. She said, "When I was little my family was poor. I worked as a flyer distributor for money, so I am a well versed craftsman. I am all in with my support, I will use all the ways to support Ai Wai. I see actually many people realize Ai Wai and would ask him for photos. However when Ai Wai promotes on his own, some would be biased. I hope everyone would be able to buy tickets to support him!"

Leon Lai Ming's directing debut, the film WINE WAR (CHEUNG HUNG) will open in May. He worked with Zhang Hanyu and David Wang. The film poster was unveiled with the three tough guys are its selling point. Lai Ming and David Wang had an expression that was like smiling but not, with Zhang Hanyu frowning between them. Their relationships were rather intriguing. Director Lai Ming stated that in WINE WAR an image of Best Actor Zhang Hanyu that the audience has never seen before would appear. The film was shot on location in France. With lead actress Du Juan it was a treasure hunting story. In the film stills, Zhang Hanyu not only forced Lai Ming against the wall, Lai Ming also had different interaction with David Wang and Du Juan. The mishmash of interpersonal relationships made this treasure hunt operation even more mysterious.

    In a small town somewhere in Taiwan lives Sei, a warm and beautiful woman in her late-thirties. Sei moved from Macau to Taiwan 15 years ago with her husband. One day at her home, Sei discovers a missing person ad in the papers with her name. Her best friend in Macau, Ling, had just passed away and old friends there are hoping Sei could attend the funeral. Sei recalls her younger days with Ling in the 1990s. It was Ling who got Sei her first job at a massage parlor and invited Sei to live at her home. Sei and Ling’s friendship deepened when Ling discovered she was pregnant. Sei promised she would raise the baby with Ling like a real family. The arrival of Ling’s baby boy, Lok Lok, gave new meaning to the girls’ lives. But as the date of Macau’s handover neared, Ling was spending less time at home after falling in love with a restaurant owner. On the eve of Macau’s handover, the two girls had a big fight before they parted ways. Today, Macau has transformed from a quiet small town into a neon metropolis. Sei re-united with Lok Lok, who is now a handsome 18-year-old. Sei often wondered what happened to Ling after she left Macau. Little does she expect what Lok Lok is about to reveal: Ling has kept a promise to Sei she never knew...

The LITTLE BIG MASTER (NG GOR SIU HAI DIK HAU JEUNG) director Kwan Shun Fai directed, Andy Lau Tak Wa produced youth film FIND YOUR VOICE (YIT HUET HUP CHEUNG TUEN) earlier wrapped up production. The 33 students in the choir and the cast earlier attended the "teacher appreciation dinner". Because Wa Jai was still recovering at the hospital, the students performed to cheer him on! The first poster was also unveiled, finally revealing Wa Jai's conductor identity.

Playing Yim Sir in the film, Wa Ja was unable to attend the "teacher appreciation dinner" but on the poster made a strong appearance as the conductor. Wa Jai was shown from the back, his conductor gesture already gave an impression of his strength and made people look forward to his breakthrough performance in the film. Playing a conductor for the first time, Wa Jai asked a real conductor for help in order to achieve the best result and bring the character to life for the audience.

Close to Yim Sir, the students missed Wa Jai very much and took the chance at the "teacher appreciation dinner" to perform for Yim Sir a song that he was familiar with, 17 YEARS OLD. The students secretly practiced with an acoustic guitar all night then performed on the stage in an orderly fashion. They yelled, "Yim Sir, we really miss you!" They hoped the video would cheer up Yim Sr. Wa Jai after watching the video posted, "I really miss you too!"

Playing Headmaster Lo in the film, Lowell Lo Koon Ting, chancellor Hugo Goh (Ng Toi Yung) and parent Vincent Wan Yeung Ming became the students' photo opportunity targets. Lo Koon Ting shared the production experience and revealed that he was the most concerned with the crying scene. He said, "I have never cried on camera. When the director asked me to cry, I couldn't no matter how hard I tried. I even thought about my wife 'buying the farm' but I still couldn't cry. I thought, 'Now what?' Then when I took my place I was able to do it. I don't know how the tears came." Lo Lo also did not expect a second challenge. "After the first time I thought I passed, then in another 33 member choir performance I had to cry again. The director taught me to think about watching their performance on the stage as my lifelong goal. Luckily it went smoothly. I really thank the director and everyone for giving me the strength."

Donnie Yen Chi Tan yesterday attended the 2017 BWM Hong Kong Derby presss conference in Happy Valley.

He said, "We will reshoot only for perfection. (Would Andy Lau Tak Wa need to be at the reshoot?) Let Mr. Lau rest for, we don't want to disturb him."

Earlier Chi Tan finished two Hollywood films and received decent results, which attracted many projects in development. Chi Tan hoped that he would take it slow. Because he wanted to make domestic Hong Kong productions, he also has been in negotiation with Hong Kong bosses and producing at the same time. Would he be interested in directing? Chi Tan said that earlier he directed and produced several films. Peter Chan Ho Sun told him to direct again, but directing required a lot of time. "Each movie would take a year and a half, for now I don't have too much time."

The 23rd Hong Kong Film Critic Society Awards presentation took place yesterday at the Hong Kong Film Archives. Best Actor Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Best Actress Zhou Dongyu personally accepted the awards. Ka Tung even brought his Mommy to witness his first performance award. After accepting the award he could not help but kiss Mommy; Zhou Dongyu graciously talked about former rumored boyfriend Shawn Yue Man Lok's new romance. She pretended to breathe a sigh of relief and behaved mischievously, she even wished everyone a Happy Women's Day.

The film critic society president Wong Chi Fai presented the six recommended films: MAD WORLD (YUT LIM MO MING), MERMAID (MEI YUN YU), SOUL MATE, WEEDS ON FIRE (DIM NG BO), SNUGGLE (BOON SUN) and SEE YOU TOMORROW (BAI DOH YUN). Then guest presenter Michael Hui Koon Man presented five major awards, Best Screenpaly to MAD WORLD's Chan Chor Hung, Best Director to MERMAID's Stephen Chow Sing Chi and MAD WORLD's Wong Chun, Best Actor to TRIVISA (SHU DAI CHIU FUNG)'s Lam Ka Tung, Best Actress to SOUL MATE's Zhou Dongyu and Best Film to TRIVISA.

Hui Koon Man sad, "This award is different from the ordinary award, it is from the people who know their stuff. Film critics are like food critics, they know their stuff the best. An award from people who know their stuff the best, even I haven't received one. I really want one. This time all the awards are very original and creative, the pride of Hong Kong. Lam Ka Tung is an outstanding actor, a rarity in Hong Kong. He can use body language and express to express himself. Miss Zhou's performance method is very successful, from the earthy flavor of UNDER THE HAWTHORN TREE to the trendiness of SOUL MATE this time."

First time Best Actor Ka Tung said that months ago when he learned that he won he already felt very uneasy, because he never had this type of experience. "This film has achieved a lot. For three people to tell this story, in the past year this film was very topical. Actually actors are very simple and naive, they only have to be nosy and 'smell' other people's lives and sniff out their business. In the future I will thoroughly gossip and sniff out others' business. I hope in the future I will be able to play even more characters for everyone."

Ka Tung won the Hong Kong Film Critic Society and the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild Best Actor. He hoped that he will win at the Hong Kong Film Awards. This time was his first performance award. Ka Tung said that he was very uneasy because he had to think in detail what he wanted to say. He truly had too many people to thank, he also invited Mommy and hs teacher to witness his award acceptance. "When I learned that I won I immediately told Mommy, but Mommy's reaction actually was see no evil hear no evil. She just went 'Huh' and went to sleep. "The next day I found a red envelop under my pillow with ten bucks inside. It really was a small gesture but it was very meaningful. I am very happy, as I finally can answer to my family. (Will Mommy attend the Hong Kong Film Awards?) It will depend on her schedule because she has to go to the Temple. She is also afraid of staying up too late. This time is my first award, she has to be here." Speaking of only Jordan Chan Siu Chun did not receive any nomination, Ka Tung admitted, "I of course wanted him to be nominated, the entire film was three in one. I want to walk the red carpet with Siu Chun and Siu Chai together, I hope everyone would have dinner together and have a little fun."

Zhou Dongyu after the Golden Horse Award again won Best Actress with SOUL MATE. She said, "I am especially emotional to win this award because this is a professional award. I thank everyone for the recognition, for more people to know Dongyu. In the future I will put even more effort into playing the characters well. Today is March 8 Women's Day, I wish all the comrades a happy holiday." Was she confident about winning the Hong Kong Film Award? She said, "I am especially nervous about the Golden Horse Award and this award, but the Hong Kong Film Award hasn't happened yet so I don't know. I hope the team will be able to win even more awards. This isn't the hard work of one person. (Have you seen the competition's work?) No, because some films weren't released in the Mainland. I actually really want to. (Would you see Ma Sichun as a rival?) I have always really liked Wai Ying Hung. She is amazing, so I can't choose. When I watched her movies before I was very moved, she played her characters very well and she was very able to touch people. (What was the hardest part about SOUL MATE?) It didn't have any very difficult part, I should say that the entire team was great. I am not a hard worker, but the team was highly demanding. It relied on everyone's hard work, otherwise it wouldn't be successful."

As for her former rumored boyfriend Yue Man Lok and Taiwan star Sarah Wang Tong-Yun, Zhou Dongyu said, "I heard about it. They are trending online, to be able to find some you like is very hard. (You can breathe a sigh of relief?) I can be in rumors with anyone, guys, girls, I am already used to it. Actually this only happens because our relationship is good." She also sad that she did not have a boyfriend now. If she would she would tell everyone.

Chin Siu Ho, Babyjohn Choi Hong Yik, "Malaysian Goddess" Lin Ming-Chen, Joyce Cheng Yun Yi, Bondy Chiu Hok Yi, Jim Chim Shui Man and executive producer Ha Yu two nights ago attended the film VAMPIRE CLEANUP DEPARTMENT (GAU GEUNG CHING DOH FU) premiere in Tsim Sha Tsui. The event arranged for many children to dress up as little vampires. Siu Ho joked that he was very jealous of Babyjohn for being able to romance Ming-Chen and that she indeed was a sexy goddess.

Chin Siu Ho said that he was very happy to be able to work with the goddess, but in the film they had no romantic scene. Siu Ho stated that he was envious of Babyjohn. "He ad the Goddess have romantic scenes, I only face vampires, while he faces a beauty. Ha Yu really brings nothing but trouble."

In her first debut Lin Ming-Chen played a female vampire. She at first thought that she was playing a happy ghost, but actually she was not cute at all. She was even very terrifying, but after finishing the film she fell in love with making movies. She also said that she has watched Chin Siu Ho's vampire movies since she was little, so she looked forward to and was nervous about this performance. Speaking of being chased in this film, she hoped that next time she would be able to kill people.

She was dressed in a more reserved way two nights ago, Ming-Chen said that she showed her abdominal muscles and was very sincere. Siu Ho said that Ming-Chen's sexiness came from her looks and inside. He also praised her as a sexy goddess to him. Without any line she still performed very well, and she was very hard working.

Yun Yi came to support her friend Babyjohn. They even hug during their photo opportunity. Speaking of her father Adam Cheng Siu Chau's concert later, she said that she might not be able to attend. "I won't be in Hong Kong during that time. Actually he already asked me to be his guest very early on, but I would have to work overseas. So it really was out of my hands, it's not that I don't support Papa. (Will you send a video to show your support?) Video or anything I will be able to do I will do. This time will be a celebration of his 50th anniversary in the business. I told Daddy it was really sorry, I really wanted to attend but very regrettably I wouldn't be able to. I will go again when he will celebrate his 60th anniversary."

Babyjohn said that he was very thankful of Brother Ha Yu's trust in putting him in the lead role and pairing him with a goddess. Even Brother Siu Ho said that he was very jealous, but he even thanked Brother Siu Ho for thanking him a lot without any reservation. Speaking of working with the goddess, Babyjohn said that when he first met the goddess he thought that she would be distant. "I spent 15 minutes to break the ice with Yun Yi, but with Ming-Chen I didn't even need 10 minutes." Yun Yi pretended to be jealous and said, "That means she wins." Babyjohn tried to cheer her up and said, "If you want to talk about being more familiar, you win." Yun Yi immediately flashed a victory sign and said, "Yeah! Women really want to win."

Guest star Chim Shui Man recently was caught looking at storefronts in Sai Kung with his girlfriend like he might be opening a cafe. He clarified that he was only a creative director for a friend's store opening. He did not invest. He also said that he had three plays under preparation recently.

The Andy Lau Tak Wa produced and starred SHOCK WAVE (CHAK DAN JUEN GA) asked his friend and fellow "Five Tigers" Felix Wong Yat Wa for help. Wong Yat Wa even played Wa Jai's superior while he was undercover as they both went after bank robbers. Earlier they appeared in Yuen Long for a late night car chase scene. Producer Wa Jai arrived at the set early on and personally supervised the car chase. Wong Yat Wa was in a police car in pursuit of the bank robbers. The vehicles raced in high speed on the industrial area streets, made fast turns and "drifted". No wonder Wong Yat Wa after shoot stated it was a lot of fun. After over 20 years without a car chase he even said that he was "addicted to shaking the tail". He said, "The second turn was amazing, it really was a lot of fun! I haven't tried to lose the tail in over a decade or two. When we did the third take, I really wanted to sit in the driver's seat." After the car chase scene, Wong Yat Wa, his role officially wrapped. After shaking hands and bidding farewell with Wang Ziyi, Ken Low Wai Kwong and others, he hug and shook hands with Lau Tak Wa. Then Lau Tak Wa said, "We will work together again soon." Wong Yat Wa said, "More fun next time." Then they took a photo together.

Wong Yat Wa revealed that he and Lau Tak Wa put together the collaboration at dinner. He said, "At the time he asked me if I would be interested in having a few days of fun in this movie, I said, 'Since you asked, no problem'. So I took part in this film." Speaking of working together after so many years, Wong Yat Wa said that it was like a "buddy reunion". He also said that it brought back a lot of of past collaboration memories. He said, "Of course I would be reminded of the days that we toughed out together, happy days and production experience. I am the happiest that with our hard work years later we all have our own success."

Wa Jai is still recovering after a work injury earlier. Always supportive of domestic creativity, Wa Jai still missed the musical UNFORGETTABLE ERA's rehearsal. So he sent his two "sons" Androx and Blackie to visit the set. As soon as Androx and Blackie saw the actors rehearsing their songs, they could not help but dance and even wanted to take part in the performance!

The film LOVE OFF THE CUFF (CHUN GIU GAU JI MING) will open on April 27th and release an original soundtrack. Actresses Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Isabel Chan Yat Ning and June Lam Su Ha also formed a new girl group MKB48 and remade the band Raidas' LEGEND and Danny Chan Pak Keung's WHEN I THINK OF YOU.

Yesterday this all new girl trio promoted on Commercial Radio. Chin Wa joked that this group name came from director Pang Ho Cheung, the meaning of which was "Mega Karaoke Bxtches" and they would only say to age 48 and disband. Thus they could only sing for a few more years. Will this group go on tour? Chin Wa joked, "It's strong, more powerful than a handgun. So we want to, everyone promote us a little!" Isabel and June said that they would sing LEGEND in the film to try to cheer Chin Wa up, but actually the director already told them to practice the song two years ago and to study Korean girl duo's dance steps. Earlier they kept going to the karaoke box to practice and just finished the music video. Chin Wa laughed and said, "We were very serious. We would find the Hit Music Rookie and Girl Group, the oldest new group and the strongest in history. Together we officially break the century mark. If we win an award we would truly bring glory to our clans!" Isabel on another live Commercial Radio program while speaking of memorable lines from the film quickly blurred out a line with foul language in its original form. Chin Wa chimed in and said, "She is too in character, she only said it because her brain was too direct. When we heard it we screamed, then we lightly continued the interview." Isabel also apologetically said, "I am truly sorry, normally I don't use foul language. I shouldn't be like it on a live broadcast, I am also afraid that the audience would be upset." Commercial Radio so far has not received any complaint and the host also immediately made the correction and apologized to the listeners.

"I am home.....
Yesterday I was doing physicals all day!
By the evening the examination results came back......
In the hospital room I
quietly sat in the wheel chair
peacefully listened to the doctor's explanation
the doctor talked and talked......
I did not hear anything until
he said,
'You can go home!'
I almost jumped up to hug the doctor,
but I was unable to at the time
Dear family
my pelvis recovery has been ideal
vertebral fracture, sciatic nerve system,
muscles and tendons have already gradually recovered
everything starts to be sunny! Don't worry......
At this home
my family and I would like to
thank all the friends in the media
for during this period
providing me with ample space to recover
the media's support of me
I can see and sense
the posts at home
I would read once everyday
every well wish
every urging
has been my miracle pill
Trust me!!
I will be able to stand up very soon!
Wa Jai"

Sammi Cheng Sau Man cheered him on on social media. "Wa Jai Go! Go! Go! We support you! Another step on the road to recovery, keep going!"

Venus Wong Man Yik in her new film TO LOVE OR NOT TO LOVE (CHOR LUEN YUT GEI: JIK NAM MUK YAU) played a couple that kept breaking up and making up with Edward Ma Chi Wai. Wong Man Yik not only broke up with Ma Chi Wai and slapped him on the stairway but also had to break down in the rain in another scene!

During the stairway break up scene, the director only instructed them to struggle. After the camera started rolling their response became stronger and stronger. Wong Man Yik was so angry that she slapped Ma Chi Wai without any warning. Ma Chi Wai immediately "improvised" and kept acting. Although he was in pain he did not waste Wong Man Yik's effort. As for crying alone in the rain, Wong Man Yik thought of past pain and immediately got into heartbreaking emotions. However later due to exhaustion and the rain she caught the flu.
