Joey Yung Cho Yi yesterday appeared on a Radio Hong Kong interview.  Reportedly she and Kelly Chen Wai Lam will work with Louis Koo Tin Lok and Donnie Yen Chi Tan on the Lunar New Year film EIGHTH HAPPINESS 2012 (BAK SING PO HEI).  Joey said that her manager Mani Fok Man Hei told her that someone was negotiating her for a movie, she never guessed that it would hit the press yesterday already.  Actually nothing has been confirmed yet.  She believed that earlier when she attended Chapman To Man Jat's birthday part she saw Mr. Raymond Wong Pak Ming, and he thought of working with her.  She said, "If you believe me, I would like to be able to work with everyone too."

Would she be able to accept any ugly image in the film?  She joked that if she had to grow a beard or play a landlady she still would be fine, but definitely no smoking.  She has never made any Lunar New Year film.  This would be her first if she would make it.  Would she ask not to be paired with Wong Pak Ming?  Joey joked, "That mean?  He's the executive producer.  Even if he has a kiss scene, he would kiss Kelly."  Reportedly Chen Wai Lam's daily salary for this film would be 1 million.  How much would Joey make?  She said, "Let's see how much they feel I am worth, I am a film industry new comer, I don't have any representative work."  She said that in August originally she had to work on another film and she looked forward to winning an award with it.  Then her value would inflate.  She did not expect Mr. Wong to "buy low" before she made that film, he truly had a good eye.  If she had a kiss scene, would she want to kiss Goo Jai or Chi Tan?  She joked, "Either one is fine.  (If you had to kiss an ugly character?)  Hey!  Why do you feel I have to play the ugly character."
