Wong Yau Nam, Tsui Tin Yau and Michelle Wai Sze Nga two
days ago attended their new film's wrap banquet. After spending nights
after days together, they could not help but be reluctant to part now
that the production has been completed. Tin Yau said, "This time the
team consists of all young people, so the shoot is particularly
harmonious. I also get to work with a good co-star Sze Nga and set off
a lot of spark." Yau Nam also said, "The story goes from the 80s to now,
so I put a lot of effort into studying the character. Now that it has
wrapped, I can finally rest!" At the banquet the childhood and adult
version of Shine performed FAREWELL 18 to put a perfect end to the
production.

Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Louis Koo Tin Lok last night
attended the fashion party. Koo Tin Lok was coughing a little. He
pointed out that because because he was working on the film WITNESS OUT
OF THE BLUE (FAN JUI YIN CHEUNG) in the rain and felt ill. With many
dengue fever cases in Hong Kong, he was worried. "I would rather have
heat stroke then dengue fever, but there is no prevention method unless
you cover your head too!"
Goo Jai's series with Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) and
Charmaine Sheh Sze Man, DETECTIVE INVESTIGATION FILES IV, lately has been
rerun. Some suggested that since Goo Jai just signed them both, he could
make a film version. Goo Jai said that he would watch the series when he
had time. From an audience point of view it indeed was great memory.
However the series belonged to TVB, so everyone could make the suggestion
to TVB. As far as he knew the LINE WALKER (SI TOH HUNG JEH) series
would under preparation. Has he agreed to perform? He said, "Let's
wait until the official announcement!" He counted that he has not made a
series in 18 years. He admitted that he would not be able to take the
series' long production time. However now making a movie was just as
tough. As long as he ran into a good script he would be willing to make
a series.

Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Jet Tone ended its 30 year
relationship as his wife Carina Lau Ka Ling took over as manager. After
36 years in show business, now he is enjoying life. He hopes to spend
more time with his wife and family. When he does not run into a suitable
script he would keep playing and do whatever he likes to do.
The Jingle Ma Chor Sing directed, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Tiffany
Tang Yan starred film EUROPE RAIDERS (AU JAU GUNG LEUK) two nights ago
held its premiere. Wai Jai said, "18 years ago I worked with Ma Chor
Sing on TOKYO RAIDERS (DONG GAING GUNG LEUK), then SEOUL RAIDERS (HON
SING GUNG LEUK), now this time with the third installment the feeling is
still familiar. I hope to keep it going." Director Ma also praised Wai
Jai to still be very fit in the third film. Tang Yan said that she was
under Wai Jai's electric eyes.
Wai Jai revealed that Hong Kong was the final stop for EUROPE's
promotion. He would be on vacation until January next year when the
MONSTER HUNT spin off will begin production. Thus he could travel during
the time. "I love sailing, hiking, bicycle riding, water skiing,
windsurfing, surfing, a year won't be enough. However I am a master of
none, I just like to play. Earlier I had to learn to play the piano for
THEORY OF AMBITIONS (FUNG JOI HEI SI) and I fell in love with it. Now I
am learning to play with an instructor. In the morning after exercise I
would learn to play the piano and read, but I won't take any certification
test. I only think that this was an enduring interest, since I didn't
have enough time to play I won't act. (Manager Lau Ka Ling knows how you
feel?) I told her many times, she feels the most important is for me to
be happy. Right now I follow my heart, when I want to make a movie I do.
I do whatever I like to do. When I have something suitable I would work,
if not then I would keep playing. Now my life is at its happiest. I
have been acting for 36 years already, I kept charging ahead and had no
time for those around me. I rarely kept Mommy, wife, sister, niece,
mother in law company, so in the future I want to save more time for them
and for what I want to do."
Wai Jai is very demanding about work, each time he has to do his
best. Thus he gives himself a lot of pressure. He reveals that due to
stress he has a habit of grinding his teeth. "Work has been very
stressful, the dentist says I have a habit of grinding my teeth. So he
made me a mouthpiece. Yet when I am not at work I don't grind my teeth.
Work is too tense. (After Ka Ling became the manager has it been even
more relaxed?) That's unrelated, people at different stages would have
different pursuits. Now I want to have more time to do other things.
(Would you tell your wife Ka Ling to slow down her pace as well?) She
can't slow down, I asked her to see the foliage with me in the fall. In
the end she only agreed to take a week off. She is very busy, she really
likes to work and loves to have fun of a group of people. I like to be
by myself."
Earlier Ka Ling revealed that she wanted to persuade Wai Jai to
do a play. Wai Jai said, "I don't dare to. Not only would I have to
spend a lot of time to prepare, but performing in a play is very scary.
When I sang before I was already very scared, so many things are about
fate. They would depend on you dare to or not. If you can let go then
you can do them. (You can play some simple characters first?) Either I
don't do it, if I do I would do more. I just don't want to work as a
couple."
Would Wai Jai look for another management company? He said, "I
don't know, that would depend on fate. For now my workload won't be much,
a movie a year. I will go slow and won't be deliberate. (Has anyone
offer their services to you?) You have to ask Lau Ka Ling about that, I
really don't work much. For now Lau Ka Ling would handle it. After the
MONSTER HUNT spin off I may not make another movie for a year. (Are you
semi retired?) I can't say I am half retired, I just want to work when I
want to."
Jet Li cheers on his father in law

The play WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION enters the final five
shows of its run. After a few days off, stars Carina Lau Ka Ling, Paul
Chun Pui and Tse Kwan Ho returned to form. Two nights ago even Jet Li
(Lee Nin Kit) made an appearance in Hong Kong to support his father in
law and performer Li Wing Shek and friend Lau Ka Ling. Despite rumors of
looking old, Lee Nin Kit two nights ago looked very lively as he chatted
and laughed with friends.
Other guests included Gigi Leung Wing Kei, Ivana Wong Yuen Chi,
Kathy Chow Man Kei, Cherie Chung Chor Hung, Kelly Chen Wai Lam, Sharon Luk
Sze Wan, Liz Kong Hei Man, Charles Heung Wa Keung, his wife and their son
Jacky Heung Jor.
Lee Nin Kit came not only to support his friend Lau Ka Ling but
also his father in law Li Wing Shek. Reportedly this would be Uncle Li's
final play, after which he would retire. Although Nina Li Chi did not
appear, Lee Nin Kit represented his wife and made his father in law very
happy. Lee Nin Kit despite rumors of being seriously ill looked rather
energetic, as he chatted and laughed with friends.
After watching the play, everyone fought for the chance to catch
up back stage. Chung Chor Hung and Ka Ling have not seen each other for a
long time, as soon as they saw each other they could not stop talking.
Kelly praised Ka Ling's performance. "Sister Ka Ling's presence was
really amazing. As soon as she appeared she already held the audience
captive. In the end I actually really wanted to stand up and applaud!"
Ivana worked with Ka Ling on a movie so she came to show her support.
In front of stage elders Ka Ling, Paul Gor, Kwan Ho and otheres, Ivana
admitted that she sincerely admired their acting. "To be able to enjoy
a group of super acting elders' performance in close distance, I feel very
lucky. I sincerely applaud the cast, the crew and the entire team! It
would be great to have a chance to work with them in the future!" As soon
as Kwan Ho saw Ivana he said, "I have seen your movies! You are good,
very funny, great." Ivana was all flushed.
Leung Wing Kei said, "The entire play from the script, art to
performance was very outstanding in every aspect. It is deeply
attractive! I admire the three leads' outstanding acting, especially
Big Brother Chun Pui's big name lawyer role. He was both dignified and
dominating. Sister Ka Ling's emotional interpretation, to be able to
maintain the same explosiveness in every show, truly was not easy. Tse
Kwan Ho's change in character was thoroughly on display and opened my
eyes! I once participated in a stage performance, tonight I truly learned
a lot. It was too exciting!"
Jackie Chan on the Chinese Valentine's Day yesterday
presented a romantic gift to his wife Joan Lin. He asked Jay Chou (Chow
Kit Lun) to write a song and Preston Lee (Lee On Sau) to write the lyrics
of THANK YOU FOR A LIFETIME and posted a message to Lam Fung Giu, "I love
you!"
Jackie Chan admitted that before he never seriously celebrated
the holiday. "I have never been a romantic person. Sister Giu also
isn't someone who cares about tradition. Once I brought her a lot of
roses, she even called me 'crazy'. This time I want to give Sister Giu a
song: THANK YOU FOR A LIFETIME; I have said on many occasions, after so
many years I often tell Sister Giu 'thank you'. Thank you for cooking
for me, thank you for ironing my clothes, thank you for raising JJ and
Jones (my two golden retrievers), thank you for taking care of Papa and
Mama, thank you for keeping Little House (Jaycee Chan) company......the
words 'thank you' I think I will still say to her for the rest of my
life. This gift has been in preparation for over 2 years, I even asked
Jay Chou and Preston Lee for help. With so much heart, I think she
probably won't call me crazy! This year will be Sister Giu and my 36th
wedding anniversary. Aside from this song, I also want to say to her,
'Lam Fung Giu, I love you'."
Wai Ka Fai gets Sean Lau in position as soon as his script is ready

The Emperor Motion Picture COLD DETECTIVE (SUM TAM DAI
JIN) will officially start production this month. Director Wai Ka Fai
with Sean Lau Ching Wan, Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin and Raymond Lam Fung set
off spark. Emperor group chair Dr. Albert Yeung Sau Sing earlier even
visited the key set in the film, the police headquarter, to cheer on the
cast and the crew.
Ching Wan's first look in COLD DETECTIVE has been unveiled, with
a head full of short curls and his trademark cold expression. He was
already full of drama without saying a word. Ching Wan said, "This look
is truly outstanding. Playing a character successfully requires many
coordinations. In the film this cop has a little problem, the depiction
mainly starts with the psychological layer. Few films would examine
someone's state of mind so thoroughly."
Wai Ka Fai, Lau Ching Wan, Ah Sa worked together in FANTASIA (GWAI
MA KONG SEUNG KUK). Reunited years later, Ah Sa was reminded of those
upside down days. "When we made FANTASIA, Ah Gil and I both had several
months on each of our hands. During that era everyone was like that. I
remember the first shoot took place after another film's all night shoot.
Then we went to shoot the Chopstick Sisters back alley robbery. I was so
tired that I thought I was dead, not to mention that I had to play dress
up! In my impression, the director can really 'work', he could work for
many hours without rest or sleep. Later in a restaurant scene, many
actors like Brother Chun Yu (Francis Ng) were present. He shot for 30
hours!" Thus, Ah Sa was fully prepared for COLD DETECTIVE, but this Wai
Ka Fai in front of her surprised her! "Before work, I clearly instructed
the makeup artist and the hairstylist, this director could really 'work'.
Everyone should be mentally prepared. Then on the first day we actually
got to leave early, everyone was very 'disappointed'! After so many
years, the director completely changed!"
Lam Fung often played heroes, but this time he had to play an
unusual cop. "In the past I have complaint a little, why don't I get to
play some abnormal character or even villain? Unexpectedly, this is
already my third abnormal character this year. In addition it is the
worst of the worst. Direcor Wai says that he wants to shape the most evil
character and not just a simple villain. It is a completely dark
character, absolutely a daring attempt; during this half a year I will
remain in an unstable condition, the previous two characters were very
unusual. They had psychological set up. I believe that the director wll
give me a lot of inspiration to add even more possibilities to the
character."
