  Ah Jat, Dog, and Siufey are two "modern young men" with different

  live their ordinary lives.  Their biggest commonality is that they are 

  all "bachelors" who have been single for a long time but still long for

  love.

  They meet at a city mental illness forum and get along famously.  They 

  feel that they are all losers on the road of love.  At Eric Tsang Chi 

  Wai's urging they are determined to encounter true love in Hainan 

  together.

  When they arrive in Hainan they do not expect to run into a series of 

  bad luck, but the optimistic trio never gives up.  At the trio's lowest, 

  they each run into the goddesses of their hearts, Yiyi, Carol, and Yumi.

Aaron Kwok Fu Sing two days ago attended a watch flagship store opening in Taiwan and he was so excited that he almost could not sleep.  Sing Sing said that 12 years ago after he rose to fame in Taiwan
with an ad campaign, he never appeared in Taiwan as a spokesperson again.  Thus this time the feeling was particularly different.  Next time he will be in Taiwan for the Golden Horse Award.  Sing Sing this time has three films vying for nominations.  He hoped that next time he will be able to go to Taiwan due to a Golden Horse nomination.  LOVE IN SPACE (CHUEN KAU YIT LUEN) will open in Taiwan on September 23.  Sing Sing in the film played a couple with Rene Liu (Lau Yeuk Ying).  Sing Sing was rather confident about this film and even said that in this film a very different Kwok Fu Sing could be seen.

Taiwan star Joe Chen Qiao-En earlier worked on a rain scene for the film TEAR OF FALLEN CITY (KING SING JI LUI).  After working for 18 hours straight she was completed soaked and often shivered from the chill.  In the scene she needed to have a face full of tears.  After completing several scenes her eyes were already all red and swollen.  With the action scene in which she was robbed, she injured her elbow.  To keep from hindering the production progress, Chen Qiao-En insisted against any rest and was very professional.

The Jackie Chan executive directed, Zhang Li directed film 1911 two days ago promoted at the 14th Huabiao Awards in Beijing as Big Brother Jackie Chan led some of the cast to the event.

1911 will be Media Asia's 2011 National Day war epic release that stars Winston Chao, Jackie Chan and Li Bingbing.  The story is about the Xinhai revolution.  The Jackie Chan played Huang Xing (1874-1916) led the armed uprising.  During the revolution, he and Dr. Sun Yat-sen were often called "Sun Huang".  Sun Yat-sen was an idealist and a forerunner while Huang Xing was a doer.  Huang Xing started and personally participated in many important revolutionary events.

After numerous life and death encounters, Huang Xing finally succumbed to illness in his middle age and was key to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and found the Republic.  During the Revolution although he had a difference of opinion with Sun Yat-sen, he never fought for power and was willing to play support.

Sandra Ng Kwan Yu with ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW (SHUI YUET SUN TAU) two nights ago won the Excellent Overseas Chinese Actress award at the Beijing Huabiao Awards.  Yesterday she returned to Hong Kong.  Without any make up Kwan Yu stepped out of the airport and reporters rushed to interview her.  She instead asked reporters who they were waiting for?  Kwan Yu honestly said that she was very emotional at the moment of victory.  Although her boyfriend Peter Chan Ho Sun was not nominated, he
watched it on television with their daughter.  She said, "I was the happiest about my daughter toughing it out (bed time) until my appearance.  The daughter asked me why the one before me (Chow Yun Fat) talked so long and that she didn't know what I was saying because I was speaking Putonghua."

Two nights ago Kwan Yu celebrated with Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting, Alex Law Kai Yui and Aarif Rahman (Lee Chi Ting) but they will not celebrate again because Chan Ho Sun's mother just passed away and he was not in the greatest of mood.  As for defeating the favorite Michelle Yeoh (Yeung Chi King), she asked, "Really?  I didn't notice.  I just returned from Thailand to Hong Kong for a day before going to Beijing."  As for still taking time to attend despite her family issue, was she notified in advance about her victory?  She said that the event was fully confidential.  "Originally I didn't plan on going because I wasn't ready, but I of course asked the event whether I had any chance."

Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Show Luo (Law Chi Cheung), Vivian Chow Wai Man, Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Justin Lo (Juk Tin) two nights ago performed at the Venetian anniversary concert. Sammi after opening the show rushed back to Hong Kong for her boyfriend's concert. Piggy closed the show and won over the crowd with his not so fluent Cantonese but also sang funny birthday songs in Thai and Korea.

Yesterday Sammi headed to work in Beijing, thus after her performance she rushed back to Hong Kong for Andy Hui Chi On's concert. "Later I will work on (Johnnie) To Kei Fung's film, a record and a year end concert tour. We are rarely together for a long time. In To Kei Fung's film, I will play a female inspector who loves sports. Lately I am constantly sunbathing under the light and the sun. (Did you ask On Jai to go with you?) Do I have to expect him too?" On Jai's yellow swimming trunk look from early in his career was memorable. Sammi joked, "Maybe he had padding, let me check."

Gong Li appeared on the red carpet with a foreign friend.

Aarif Rahman (Lee Chi Ting)'s ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW (SHUI YUET SUN TAU) was nominated for Excellent Co-Production Film. Last night he not only walked the red carpet with Alex Law Kai Yui, Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting and Ng Kwan Yu but also announced the Excellent Child Actor and Actress Awards with Hu Ge. Just released his second record EVERYTING, Aarif yesterday was invited to attend FIRST youth film festival press conference. He along with Huang Xiaoming and Chris Lee Yuchun will be the event promotional ambassador, but Lee Yuchun and Huang Xiaoming could not attend. Aarif felt very honored to be this event's promotional ambassador and thanked the event for giving him this opportunity. However he still felt that he needed to learn a lot more.

[2011.08.29] NICK CHEUNG HAS A LITTLE FUN WITH DOU XIAO

The Roy Chow Hin Yeung directed action suspense new film NIGHTFALL (DAI JUI BO) two nights ago wrapped. Actors including Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Janice Man Wing Shan, Candy Yu On On, Michael Wong Man Tak and "Mou Guy" Dou Xiao along with screenwriter Christine To Chi Long attended the farewell event on the set. Ka Fai even had a little fun at the excuse of Dou Xiao who did not know any Cantonese. He also promised to donate 100,000 in cash for the celebration lucky drawing. The team applauded in response.

Ka Fai for the character went through a hellish weight loss program for several months. Thus the team two nights ago prepared the dish that he wanted to have the most during the period, drool chicken (steamed chicken with chili sauce). Wong Man Tak also brought two bottles of red wine for everyone. Ka Fai worked with Dou Xiao for the first time. Although he admired him very much, he did not forget to have a little fun with him. When they raised their glasses to toast the film's success in advance, Ka Fai asked Dou Xiao to repeat after him, "In the future at the film celebration, I will give 80 to 100 thousand for the lucky drawing!" Dou Xiao who did not understand Cantonese asked what that meant? Ka Fai joked, "You don't need to ask, just repeat after me and you will be fine. I say it, then you say it." Finally Dou Xiao really repeated what Ka Fai said and cracked everyone up. Later when Dou Xiao learned the "truth" he immediately jumped and said that the Best Actor fooled him. However the director generously joined Ka Fai's "trap" and said, "If we will have a celebration, I will bring all the money for the lucky drawing!" The actors cheered enthusiastically.

Ka Fai's character was very heavy this time. Because his character was mute, he did not have any line to deliver or remember and his performance was even more difficult. He said, "All of the emotions had to be expressed through the body, the eyes and such, it really was very challenging." As for working with Simon Yam Tat Wa, Ka Fai said, "Yam Tat Wa used to always play the boss, this time in the film I beat him and killed him. It felt great! I believe this film should bring two or three Best Actors!"

Dou Xiao in the film played a couple with Man Wing Shan. Although they worked together for the first time they had chemistry and no gap at all during the shoot. This film was Dou Xiao's first Cantonese dialogue film. Although he was with the team for only a short time, he thought this was a very exciting production journey. Man Wing Shan made a lot of preparation before the shoot like studying piano playing for over three months. In addition she already cultivated a connection with the team. Thus at the wrap she was very reluctant to part. However she stated that she would continue to learn to play the piano.

In addition, earlier when Yam Tat Wa and Kay Tse On Kay left, the team celebrated with champagne with them on the streets of Lan Kwai Fong and attracted many onlookers. Kay did not feel well that day and was worried that she would be unable to finish her final scene. Luckily she persisted and the director was very touched.

The Wilson Chin Kwok Wai directed new film LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO) two nights ago held a party by the hotel swimming pool. Actresses Jeana Ho Pui Yu, Phoebe Hui Wing and Dada Chen Jing attended. Jeana and Phoebe appeared in swimsuits, DaDa wore a low cut long dress. Phoebe was the only girl who went into the water to play games, got all wet and stole all the thunder.

When the trio of "nemeses" posed for a group photo, Jeana deliberately pretended to be friends with DaDa and they had no exchange with Phoebe. Phoebe was asked about getting all the attention. "Actually I saw the event notice, everyone should play in the water." Did Jeana back out and did not dare to go in? She said, "I don't know, but I feel it's pretty fun in the water." Phoebe even said that she took the full wardrobe malfunction precautions and applied water proof make up, so she was not worried about embarrassing herself in the water. She also said, "the real ones aren't afraid of going into the water", hinting that Jeana's figure was artificial and thus she did not dare to go in. She said, "Normally when I go to the beach and swim it's like this too. The most important is someone is playing with me." As for the lack of exchange with Jeana and DaDa, she said, "I didn't pay attention to her, but I am very gracious. When I see her I would greet her."

Jeana whose figure Phoebe hinted to be artificial was contradicting herself during an interview. First she said that she did not go into the water because she already skinny dipped in the morning. Then she said that she did not know how to swim. She used director Chin Kwok Wai as a shield. "The director didn't go into the water. I originally would follow him. I didn't back out. I came in a swimsuit, thinking that I had to find a guy for security." Although Phoebe got attention, Jeana stressed that she was the film lead and said that earlier she was skinny dipping in a private pool. She was afraid of catching a cold going into the water at night. As for Phoebe's stab that Jeana did not dare to go into the water because Jeana's figure was fake, she said, "What is the connection? I wouldn't respond to personal condemnation. I wouldn't steal attention by going into the water. Going into the water without clothes would get attention." Why did she suddenly become friends with DaDa? She said, "Actually I already knew DaDa before I got into the business. I saw her in a long dress and high heels, keeping an eye on each other would be safer."
