The Hong Kong Performing Artists Guild president Eric Tsang Chi Wai yesterday attended a fashion press conference as the host. He expressed that he will delegate the job to other board members. Summing up the Guild's six year performance, he will strengthen promoting this year. As for why he would return to the post, he expressed that because Alan Tam Wing Lun no longer wanted to serve he was forced to take the place. He praised that this year's board members were all very young. He will serve two years then let others take the spot. He also said that in the past the Guild has done many events like disaster relief and guild location fund raising. This year it will strengthen promotion and transparency. It will also hold forums and invite foreign performing art professors, celebrities and directors like Chow Yun Fat, John Woo (Ng Yu Sum) to share their experience. As for ATV landing the Hong Kong Film Awards, he expressed that in the past ATV has aired the event. As for issues with TVB artists appearing on ATV, he pointed out that the Hong Kong Film Award Association has not met to discuss them yet. Later it should have announcements. Film professionals should attend as film professionals.

Reportedly different film companies are fighting to make a movie about Lord Guan with four upcoming projects. He joked that Donnie Yen Chi Tan and Louis Koo Tin Lok were suitable choices. Sun Honglei belonged to the acting fraction. He pointed out that Lord Guan actually was very hard to make because of all the actual history and various taboos, from no foolish talk about make up to certain process of removing make up. He only hoped that everyone would produce outstanding films.
