The only Hong Kong film this Christmas, MARRIAGE WITH A LIAR (FUN CHIN SI OI) although was under assault from foreign films performed well after a week in release. Two nights ago a celebration was held. Director Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum) along with lead Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Law Chung Him, Carl Yeung Chi Yiu, Shum Chi Ming, King Kong, and Timmy Hung Tin Ming attended. They celebrated with red wine. As for the box office performance, Chau Sau Na and Law Chung Him said that if the box office broke 10 million, they would appear in swimwear and go for a polar bear swim.

In the film Chau Sau Na and Yeung Chi Yiu had many intimate and sexy scenes. Two nights ago Carol said that this performance was already her bottom line as she felt that she could be sexy without nudity. Carol was very nervous as she denied talks of her "poking out" in the film, during the shoot she used tape and wore a tee shirt underneath. She believed it was an illusion with the lights. She also said that before the shoot the team inspected for her. She joked that they were the luckiest ones. As for Chau Sau Na's sexy performance, Carol said that Sister Na was the first lead actor. This was her first film so she was a junior to her veteran. She also said that sexiness in film was not about how much clothes was worn, which would only ruin a movie. Chau Sau Na did not mind that Carol calling her a veteran. She said that she has only been in the business for two years but thanked everyone for recognizing her. She truly did not dare to live up to the title of "veteran" though.

Wong Jing revealed that in 2011 he will make many films. Before the Lunar New Year he will work on the Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi and Ronald Cheng Chung Kei starred MO GA JI BO (PRICELESS TREASURE), a modern RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Pak Chi's comeback salary has been rumored to have already reached astronomical figures. Brother Jing pointed out that Pak Chi was absolutely worth the price. Speaking of Meng Yao becoming a wife and a mother and retiring from film, Brother Jing said that this year he will give start to six more "Jing Girls".

"I will work on my own classic film series extensions, with (Louis) Koo Tin Lok and (Chapman) To Man Jat starring in two. One of them will be LAN DOH FU DUI LAN DOH CHAI (GAMBLING ADDICT HUSBAND VS GAMBLING ADDICT WIFE). The female lead has yet to be determined; big production will be DAI SHANGHAI (BIG SHANGHAI), starring Mainland big shots." Wong Jing will also produce movies with younger generations, new directors Patrick Kong and Wong Ching Po.
