Tin Kai Man attended the screening of the Stephen Chow Sing Chi directed and starred movie SHAOLIN SOCCER (SIU LUM JOOK KAU) the night before, and then shared with the audience the unforgettable and interesting stories from the shoot. He said that playing the third brother in SHAOLIN SOCCER was the most painful and hard work in his film career. Because in the film he was invulnerable, he was still unharmed after being besieged and beaten. Actually his ribs were injured and fasciitis appeared and the doctor advised him to rest for a few days, but when the director Sing Yeh found out he still acted like it was nothing, and still continued to ask him to shoot the beaten scene and made him miserable.
Another director Lee Lik Chi after finding out suggested for him to beat up Chow Sing Chi to alleviate his rage and even said that the brothers would help. Tin Kai Man said, "This of course never happened. Lee Lik Chi seemed to be setting me up. He like the head abbot is very petty. Please no one say I revealed the secret." Tin Kai Man said that Chow Sing Chi has been highly demanding, for one simple shot he could try several dozen takes. Chan Kwok Kwan's goalkeeper scene took over 37 takes. "Back then Chan Kwok Kwan originally was to play a gangster, later he was changed to play the goalie fourth brother. However Sing Yeh also has his uniquely sharp eyes. He ignore the entire team's objection and insisted on putting Jeung Bau (Ho Man Fai) in the movie, saying the role was definitely his and his alone. Who knew that Jeung Bau had no stage fright at all in several scenes, finishing them in one take. Maybe it was because he was playing himself."
Years later, the new film Sing Yeh has prepare for a long time, WOMEN'S SOCCER, has already begun production in Shenzhen. The lead actresses have not yet been officially announce. Tin Kai Man earlier revealed Sisley Choi Si Bui was one of them, and that Chow Sing Chi was in negotiation with a high caliber female star who he has worked with many years ago. If successfully, the audience would be very surprised. Tin Gai refused to reveal the details. "I have given Sing Yeh phone numbers of many people in the business. He would personally contact them, but I am not at liberty to talk about the list."
As for Cheng Chung Kei's rumored marital changes with his wife Sammie Yu Sze Man, last week he appeared at family court. He supposedly was handling the divorce case in a closed door hearing. Tin Gai said that he did not know anything and Ronald has not brought it up. He admitted that due to Cheng Chung Kei's divorce rumor, the scheduling of the film ATONEMENT (AH LUNG)'s release has added concerns. "Whether the film would postpone its release, for now I am still not sure. Ultimately I worry that during the film promotion, the media would only focus on Cheng Chung Kei's family affair instead of the movie. More or less it would have an effect. I dare to say, the entire team and Cheng Chung Kei have put a lot of effort into making ATONEMENT. His performance is quite a great surprise, after watching it he would open many eyes.
