Jim Chim Shui Man's play MICROSEX OFFICE had overwhelming response and caught Wong Jing's eye as he decided to adapt it for the big screen. The film will start production in May. Yesterday they attended a contract singing ceremony. Jim Sir even attended with his proteges Harriet Yeung Sze Man, Tyson Jat Hoi Tai, Tang Chi Kin, and Rosa Wai. Jim Sir expressed that he did not know whether he would participate in the performance. Was he afraid that his performance would be better than his proteges? He denied that but hoped that his proteges would achieve and be able to support him.

Brother Jing expressed that this time he would not perform and would only produce the film. He pointed out that he has always been reluctant to act, as he only did so when he did not have enough actors. This film would have a six to seven million dollar investment, a Hong Kong style film that would involve sex. As for the female lead, Brother Jing pointed out that people would fantasize about the actresses, including ones from his new film BEAUTY ON DUTY (MEI LAI MUK LING). Would his company's Jennifer Tse Ting Ting star? Brother Jing expressed that she would not but revealed that Ting Ting will work on Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum)'s new film in May. He pointed out that Ting Ting would be the lead first time out and it would not be an ensemble film. This year Hong Kong Film Award will air on ATV. Brother Jing felt that the station did not matter as long as the show as well done. Was he worried that many actors would not attend? He believed that they would not and he could not see any reason for anyone not to attend.
