Teresa Mo Shun Kwan earlier accepted Clifton Ko Chi Sum's aTV program interview.  Ko Chi Sum was the ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL (GA YAU HEI SI) director.  At the time Ko Chi Sum upset one of the leads Maggie Cheung Man Yuk over something on the second day of the shoot.  With a dozen or so days left, Ko Chi Sum was very worried.  Mo Mo at the time gave his an idea.  One day the four couples shot a wedding scene, when Ko Chi Sum saw the "brides" he praised the brides as very pretty.  Mo Shun Kwan said, "Are you talking about me?"  Ko Chi Sum who has already rehearsed his lines said, "Do you think you are Maggie?"  Cheung Man Yuk was very pleased and immediately gave Ko Chi Sum a high five.  They laughed and forgot about the grudge.  Then the dozen or so days of shoot went smoothly.  Ko Chi Sum also appreciated how Mo Mo saved his life.

Mo Shun Kwan played mostly "ugly characters" in Ko Chi Sum's movies.  Ko Chi Sum pointed out that very few actresses would make a sacrifice like she did.  Mo Mo said that only in recent years was she
complimented for her beauty.  At the time everyone thought she was very suitable to play those roles.  She herself did not mind whether she was pretty or not, the most important was whether the character was fun.  However, she felt comedy was very hard to make.  It required great communication with co-stars and the director.  Mo Mo also remembered Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing on the program.  She said when she attended his funeral, she lost control when she looked at him through the glass and thought why Gor Gor would do this.  She only wanted him to hurry up and wake up.

The film FAIRY TALE KILLER (JUI HUNG) yesterday held a trailer and first poster launch press conference in Beijing.  Director Danny Pang Fat led Lau Ching Wan and Wang Baoqiang to the event.  The film will be released in mid May.  The first poster was unveiled at the event, which also played the film trailer.  In the trailer Wang Baoqiang's "scarred look" was very frightening.

Wang Baoqiang appeared to be very excited yesterday.  He said that he has seen many of Big Brother Ching Wan's movies and he was very lucky to be able to work with him this time.  This character was the biggest breakthrough in his career.  His look in the film also required a lot of courage.  After make up he even scared himself when he looked at the mirror.  At first he was afraid that he would not perform well, luckily the director gave him confidence.  After two days he was completely fine.  Baoqiang pointed out that one scene was very memorable.  At the police station he spat on Big Brother Ching Wan's face.  Although everyone was a professional actor, Big Brother Ching Wan was an elder.  He was very reserved.  Finally Big Brother Ching Wan firmly said that he had to spit, so he really spat on Ching Wan's face.  He was truly very sorry.

Ching Wan said that the most memorable was the first time he met Wang Baoqiang.  He felt that he looked too much like the killer in the film.  The director truly chose the right person.  Everyone knew the communication between actors often did not require language.  The host gave Lau Ching Wan a chance at revenge.  Lau Ching Wan generously embraced Baoqiang and laughed, "I want to melt him with love, I won't use any violent way."

[2012.03.30] SHU QI: DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME

Shu Qi in support of Donnie Yen Chi Tan faced online attacks, which made her helplessly remove her microblog to avoid malicious attacks.  Artists and fans alike were reluctant and heart broken to see her like this, but she has already strongly stood up again and on her official site responded as the Shu Qi official site fan club.  Shu Qi said that she would thank people who have hurt her because they enabled her to keep learning and growing.  Although the process hurt a little and was a little hard to take, but are people not alive for spiritual practice? Thus she thanked people who did not love her for giving her the chance for spiritual practice.  Then she properly would consider life direction.

Shu Qi also did not care about any comment.  She has managed to walk through, get through and persist through the storms of the past 17 years.  Being able to continue to live in this circle and having the love of many, she believed that her parents burnt a lot of incense for her ancestors.  Thus other storms would pass, trading accusations and name calling would only add to each other's negative energy.  She wish the world would not need to fight in the future, positive energy will be able to crush negative energy for people who need warmth to experience the power of love.  She admitted that for now although she was a little weak and did not know what to do, she just needed a little time and she will properly, strongly get through it and be better than before.  Very soon she will have a heroic good woman, no one should worry about her.

According to Shu Qi's manger, her future work schedule has not been affected.  Next month she will attend a public event at the soonest.

Wylie Chiu Shek Chi, Khloe Chu Chi Hiu, Malaysian actress Brandy Lam Si Chi and host Poon Siu Chung earlier worked on the documentary film THE CASES in Hong Kong, Japan and Bali.  Earlier they met with the media to share their production experience.  All three women was praised as daring as the supernatural experience did not scare them, but Chu Chi Hiu admitted that she regretted making the film a little.  At first she thought people would pretend to be ghosts and they had a script, but actually she had to personally attract supernatural phenomenon.

Chu Chi Hiu worked on the Hong Kong abandoned village segment, next to a gold tower in a rundown home a Thai master set up to call upon the spirits.  The master's movement stunned her.  She said with regret, "I didn't know we were going to shoot like this, I felt a little like being set up.  At the time I didn't dare to say anything, but I regret a little of taking the film."  Wylie and Brandy went to a Tokyo murder site to play Ouija.  Wylie said, "This was a wonderful experience, but I may not try it again."

Brandy also went to Bali, but for her first time there she went directly to the cemetery.  She joked, "Friends say Bali is a romantic place, but I didn't feel romantic at all."  She said that they went as a group to shoot, their noises would have scared off any spirit.  In addition she wore a Buddha amulet, if he felt something she would chant.  Ah Chung praised the girls as daring, during the shoot no one screamed for him to help.  Brandy said that because they knew everyone would protect them.

LOVE IN THE BUFF (CHUN GIU YU JI MING) yesterday was officially released, but many who have seen advanced screening gave it rave reviews and the response was ideal.  Although Chin Wa was pregnant,
she still tried to attend the Hong Kong promotions.  Earlier she was interviewed with Shawn Yue Man Lok and Mini Yang Mi.  After working together twice, Chin Wa and Lok Jai were already good friends.  Their conversations had sparks, but "big kid" Lok Jai told dirty jokes in front of Chin Wa and the baby.  Chin Wa shook her head and sighed.

In the film one of Lok Jai's lines "pink nipples are hard to come by" won viewers' applause.  Lok jai was asked if he was looking for them in real life as well.  He cracked up and said that he never ran into any.  He joked, "The ones I run into are all normal color, haha."  Chin Wa could not help but stare at him and shook her head.  She lamented, "What a shame, when the baby is born I don't know you, how gross."  What was Chin Wa looking for?  She said, "I am after health, healthy breast milk is fine."  Was Chin Wa afraid that her figure would be lost after giving birth?  She admitted that she would not be worried.  Instead now she would pay attention to her diet and has a coach who teach her how to slim down after giving birth.  She said, "As a mother I don't think about that, otherwise I wouldn't have it.  At this stage of life, the baby's health is the most important."

Lok Jai asked when Chin Wa would return to work.  Chin Wa said that after she recovered she would.  Later Lok Jai was asked whether he wanted to make a third film.  Lok Jai pointed out of course.  Chin Wa pointed out that she was very lucky to make this film, another month later she would not be able to.  Lok Jai immediately said, "Because you made this movie, you are pregnant so fast."  He revealed that during the Beijing shoot, Real Ting Chi Ko visited the set for two days.  Lok Jai joked, "It was on those two days,  two days nonstop do you know how long you have to work?  It already was plenty of time."  Chin Wa immediately said, "If it was on those two days, the expectant date wouldn't be in mid June."  Lok Jai still joked that he and Pang Ho Cheung already took credit for it and even joked that Chin Wa might have another if she made another film.  Chin Wa immediately yelled, "Deranged!  Jinx."  Then she struck back at Yue Man Lok, "Then it would be your turn!  One chicken two dishes!  Sometimes it's very coincidental, wedding and parenthood come at once."

Yang Mi was asked whether the guy she was after was her current boyfriend Harwick Lau Hoi Wai?  Yang Mi said that they were already together.  Did she feel her boyfriend was the best? She said, "Pretty good."

Mag Lam Yun Tung, Janice Yan, Joyce Cheng Yun Yi and Alfred Hui Ting Hung two nights ago attended a TVB JADE SOLID GOLD taping.  Host King Kong wore a wig and shaved to impersonate musician Tang Chi Wai and had everyone holding their bellies.  Eight years without a complete shave, King Kong this time did not make the sacrifice completely for JADE SOLID GOLD.  He did it mainly because he needed to have a new look for his movie SUN SAU YING GAING (HOLY BEAST COP).  As for who was more handsome between him and Tang Chi Wai, he joked, "I have always been handsome, everyone has his different uniqueness and strength.  However I really haven't seen my own chin for a long time."

Vincent Zhao Wenzhou and Donnie Yen Chi tan due to the film DUT SHU SUN FUN (SPECIAL IDENTITY) turned against each other.  The former was kicked off the production and thus began a war of words.  Zhao Wenzhou spoke about Shu Qi's microblog closing and praised Shu Qi as a great artist.  He liked her work very much and hoped to work with her in the future.  This time he just told the facts as they were.  Now he wants the matter to pass sooner.  He felt tired and only wanted to return to his normal life.

Yesterday a Mainland site posted stills from the film, fans who supported Zhao Wenzhou said after seeing the photo people would understand why their idol was kicked out -- because he was tall and handsome.

Feng Xiaogang due to his support of Shu Qi suffered online attacks.  He fearlessly continued to fight strongly and yelled at "beasts".  He pointed out that veterinarians were so busy that they did not have enough medicine to give.  Raymond Wong Pak Ming was called "rotten film king" after praising Yen Chi Tan.  He was much more at ease than Feng Xiaogang, explained his stance and at the same time forgave "children" who yelled at him.

Kwai Lun-Mei and Joseph Chang worked together on the film GIRLFRIEND BOYFRIEND.  Director Yang Ya-Che in order to apply for the Taipei Film Awards hurried the production up and thought the leads were able to win this year's Taipei Film Award Best Actor and Best Actress.  The film's backdrop was Taiwan's changes over 30 years and invited a Taiwanese instructor to teach the cast old style Taiwanese.  Kwai Lun-Mei had the most experience with language study.  She even stumped the teacher when she asked how to say "flat chested" in Taiwanese?  The teacher a week later finally replied, "cold bottom".  Then Kwai Lun-Mei joked that she was "cold bottom".

During the shoot, the director enabled the actors to perform freely.  They "plotted" with each other and thus before the shoot were very nervous, as they were afraid that the co-stars would do something strange.  Joseph Chang and Kwai Lun-Mei had a break up scene that unexpectedly touched emotional wounds.  He cried for 10 minutes and still could not settle down; in another scene Kwai Lun-Mei slapped Joseph Chang 30 times before its completion, his face was swollen and his stomach ached; Kwai Lun-Mei had her fill of the acting bug, she even hid and cried.

Sandra Ng Kwan Yu yesterday attended a wax figure unveiling ceremony at the Madame Tussaud's Hong Kong at the Peak.  Kwan Yu's wax figure was based on her CLUB SPARKLE hosting costume.  Yesterday aside from Kwan Yu's parents, hubby Peter Chan Ho Sun and his father, their daughter Chan Si Chi attended.  During the unveiling, Kwan Yu put on sunglasses and made the same pose as the wax figure for the media to tell the real from the fake one.  Finally Kwan Yu broke into laughter and gave the answer away.  Kwan Yu said that the statue was very convincing, 99% like her.  The only flaw was the lack of additional career line (cleavage).

Kwan Yu said that she of course was happy about having her own wax figure, which represented her fame and people's recognition.  She thought about her appearance for a very long time.  Kwan Yu said, "Even my daughter hasn't seen my wax figure, so today after school she very excitedly rushed us out the door."  Kwan Yu asked her daughter whether the wax figure or the real person was prettier, she smartly said that Mommy in person was the prettiest.  Kwan Yu said that originally she suggested using the PORTLAND STREET BLUES (HUNG HING SUP SAM MUI), GOLDEN CHICKEN (GUM GAI) or ECHOES OF THE RAINBO (SHUI YUET SUN TAU) characters for the wax figure, but the venue liked her host image the most.  Was the wax figure measurement tough?  She said, "I have to stay still for nine hours, it felt very tough.  However I knew that after over a year the costume would change.  I hoped then I would change into some film costumes, the best would me changing me into a 36-22-36 figure."

In addition, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data yesterday charged two magazines hidden camera shots for violating privacy laws.  Kwan Yu helplessly said, "Actually what's done is done, hopefully the media won't be too thoughtful about planning to create news.  Sometimes I forget to bring underwear to the showers, maybe someone would use a long range lens to 'scope'."  Did she feel the charge would have any effect?  Kwan Yu admitted that yes but legislation would impact freedom.  She hoped every post would be able to exercise self control.  As for Shu Qi after supporting Donnie Yen Chi Tan suffered an online attack of past erotic photo posts, Kwan Yu said, "Shu Qi is very strong and kind, she has no problem.  After removing the posts she should open the microblog again."

Mr., Mag Lam Yun Tung, Michelle Wai (Si Nga), Jeana Ho Pui Yu and others performed in Causeway Bay for the LIVES IN FLAMES street band show.  Due to the lack of security, the scene was very chaotic.  Some even got close to the actors and scared them, police officers were on hand for an understanding of the situation.

Jeana recently has been caught with Parkman Cheung Pak Man.  Were they dating?  Jeana denied that they were and said that they were just friends.  Why was she so afraid when the media ran into them that day?  She explained that because she was afraid without make up her ugly side would be caught.  Jeana stressed, "I am currently single, four years of caged animal fight relationship is already over.  I enjoy being courted now."  After the media photo, Jeana said that she was no longer in contact with Parkman and they were not embarrassed to see each other again.  As for whether they have a chance to develop, Jeana said that she still was choosing and would not be in a hurry.  She now has half a dozen suitors.

Si Nga earlier was caught on the streets with a man in a suit.  She said that he was just a friend, who another friend introduced her to.  Because in her recent film she played a lawyer, she asked this lawyer friend about the law.  Si Nga said, "Knowing more different people is a good thing, life is short.  Acting always requires playing different people, knowing more different people would be helpless."  She stressed that the real deal has not appeared yet.  Earlier she was caught with two men, was she afraid that she was seeing both at once?  Si Nga explained that she was caught with different friends at the same time.

Recently Donnie Yen Chi Tan and Vincent Zhao Wenzhou due to a new film turned against each other.  Chapman To Man Jat wrote about Chi Tan online.  Shu Qi also reposted what Ah Jat wrote in support of Chi Tan and finally received online attacks as her past erotic photos were posted, forcing her to remove her microblog.  Ah Jat said that Shu Qi has experienced many storms, this time was only a small ripple.  He believed that she was not affected much.

The film VULGARIA (DAI CHOOK HEI KET) two nights ago held its premiere.  To Man Jat and his wife Krystal Tin Nui Nei, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei and Dada Chen Jing attended.  Speaking of Shu Qi due to her support of Chi Tan received online attacks that forced her to remove her microblog, Ah Jat said that recent online culture has been this way.  He joked, "Maybe people online are in a bad mood, but I feel the timing of online criticism is very uniform.  For example I wrote something online earlier, at first only some fans responded.  Then suddenly a group of people came to scold.  (Are you saying it was planned?)  I don't know and I won't speculate."  Did he support Chi Tan?  He admitted that he knew Chi Tan when he was very little, when he was an extra on television.  What he wrote online was just his personal experience, Shu Qi too.  He said, "At first I didn't feel anything, but fans saw it and felt unhappy.  So I now closed the microblog comments, only people who follow me can post a comment.  I for now won't play microblog."  Ah Jat also said that as a public figure he could not do much about getting yelled at.  Did he comfort Shu Qi?  He said, "Ms. Shu has experienced so many storms.  This time is only a very small ripple, not much effect.  Removing the microblog was only her personal decision.  (But she cried?)  Anyone who is still happy about getting yelled at nonstop is silly.  I don't know how hurt she felt, but the person I know is very strong and won't be weak.  In the past when she worked on (Ringo) Lam Lan Tung's movie, he was known for being mean.  Yet when the director yelled at her if Shu Qi felt she was right she would argue with reason, which is what I admire Ms. Shu the most for."

VULGARIA guest star Cheng Chung Kei revealed that recently he was busy with his daughter.  Later he will direct a horror film about 108 ghosts in China.  Although he will not perform, he may invest.  He admitted that directing will bring pressure because the film consisted several stories of different lengths.  Dada talked about the car rocking scene in the film.  She said that she did not know whether it was removed and joked that she had to go in to find out.  Would she invite her boyfriend?  She stressed that she was still single.  Later when she will go to the Maldives for vacation she hope that she will be able to meet someone.  She joked, "Hopefully when I drown, a strong man will save me."
