[2013.10.31] DADA CHAN PLOTS HER UPCOMING RETURN

courtesy of on.cc

DaDa Chan Jing who got into show business as a pseudo model in April won the Hong Kong Film Award Best Supporting Actress. In early August due to emotional disorder, she announced her retirement from the screen. At the same time she went into a "full dive" as she turned down any contact with her management company, which put her scheduled jobs into a complete halt. Later some witnessed DaDa gambling in Australia. Last month DaDa was mysteriously swollen and stayed with pseudo model Ivy Choi Ying Ying and was rumored to be pregnant.

Actually after three months in "seclusion", DaDa felt deeply regretful. In addition after resting awhile her mood gradually improved. Recently she began to go out with friends and wanted to make a comeback. Yesterday afternoon DaDa met with manager Celia Sie Lim Chi. DaDa presented desserts, which Sie Lim Chi shared with DaDa. Sie Lim Chi seemingly was lecturing DaDa as DaDa frequently nodded. Then DaDa picked up the tea pot with both hands and poured for Sie Lim Chi. She wiped away tears and sobbed to express her regret. Sie Lim Chi's expression also eased and touched DaDa's arm. DaDa emotionally embraced Sie Lim Chi and cried for two minutes.

Soon Sie Lim Chi showed her photo to DaDa, then picked up a pile of documents for both of them to sign. Then they had a heart to heart talk. Reportedly, for the company's forgiveness, DaDa added another 4 years to our existing 6 year contract. Next month a press conference will take place, then she will return completely.

Jacky Cheung Hok Yau two nights ago attended th film A COMPLICATED STORY (YUT GOR FOOK JAP DIK GOO SI) Asian Film Festival screening. Hok Yau was rumored to take care the Performing Artist Guild chair for Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Hok Yau denied, "Probably no! I am not scared, ultimately it's Grandpa's problem. However Chi Wai really did very well, the chair more or less has to have some leadership skills. My expertise is performing. Actually I have been the vice chair and felt that I couldn't do the job right so I quit, it won't be me! I believe many members know that I can't do the job right, instead (Anthony) Wong Chau Sun is the more credible, Wa Jai (Andy Lau) also has a lot of leadership abilities. They are very ideal choices." Both he and Lau Tak Wa were chosen online as the "people's chief executive". He said, "No way! Wa Jai would do a better job. He has done it on film, it should be a piece of cake."

Earlier Ronald Cheng Chung Kei revealed his drunk drinking. he admitted that he made a mistake before and urged everyone not to try it now. He would not do it again either. He said, "I won't be mad at Cheng Chung Kei, but maybe he got drunk too many times, he got a little confused. Back then I drove my car, he wasn't in my car. I told the story to him."

Resigning as the PAG chair, Tsang Chi Wai two nights ago was asked about the Great PAG Earthquake as both Gordon Lam Ka Tung and John Shum Kin Fun resigned? Chi Wai avoided the questions. "No comment."

Two nights ago she had a banquet to celebrate with friends, Brigitte Lin (Lam Ching Ha) and her daughter, Josephine Siao Fong Fong and her husband, Daffy Tong Hok Tak, Sylvia Chang (Cheung Ngai Ga) and her husband and son Oscar, Winnie Yu Tseng and Pansy Ho Chiu King attended. Cheung Ngai Ga's son Oscar was asked about relationship rumors with Isabella Leong Lok Si. He smiled and said, "No!"

Shi Nansun was very happy and very honored. She was surprised that the French Consul General to Hong Kong would praise her in length. She joked, "He told the entire story of half my life." Sh admitted that she had quite a history with France. Since age 12 she began studying French, for years she had a lot of exchanges with France. She also really liked the people and the spirit of Franc, but the honor did not add to her work stress. Her Film Workshop will start work on two films, she will produce with Alex Law Kai Yui a Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting directed film. She will produce another that Tsui Hark will direct. Will she invite her friend Lam Ching Ha to return? She said, "She is my friend, I don't want her to come back either. It's too tough. (Her) life now is pretty happy."

Kelly Chen Wai Lam appeared on TELLING MARIA 2 and talked about her bedroom secrets with her husband Alex. They have known each other for over 20 years but their relationship remained more than sweet. She revealed that now she and Alex still hold hands when they sleep, the most important was the both were very faithful. Her biggest setback in life was the miscarriage of her twins. Kelly felt that she was a lucky person, back then when she studied Art Design in the U.S. In the last year of her education she returned to Hong Kong for the summer. Her mother told her to apply for a design job at her friend's advertising company; when she got there the company arranged for her to shoot a video to introduce herself. Several days later she received calls for her to work on an ad. This chance introduced her to Yee Chung Man, and Claudie Chung Chun became her manager. For 19 years she has never yelled at her.

Irene Wan Bik Ha and Rainky Wai Yu Sum two nights ago attended the film MAY WE CHAT (MEI GAU SIU NUI) premiere. Wai Yu Yui dressed up because this was her first film. She revealed that in the film she had sexy performance, but she left the topless scene for her double from Beijing. She said that she was professional, had moral and principle, so she did not recommend to the director to use a body double.

Why did she not perform the scene herself? She explained, "I have my bottom line, I have to respect my parents." To avoid that others mistook her for performing a topless scene and make a big deal about it, she and her body double took a photo together as evidence.

Wan Bik Ha worked with a group of young women, which reminded her own past. Sh said, "I was much worse than they were. When I was young I loved to go to the disco, I smoked and even ran away from home. I was very rebellious."

Raymond Lam and Karena Ng Chin Yu two nights ago attended the film BABY BLUES (NGAI YING) premiere. On the stage Janelle Sing Kwan kept them separated; later reporters asked them for a photo, but Chin Yu BB's company was about to drag her away. Lam Fung took the initiative and grabbed his girlfriend for photos together. Everyone applauded and praised how cool he was.

They denied that they fell in love while making BABY BLUES, but they were happy and felt very lucky to work as a couple. As for being hesitant on the stage, Lam Fung said, "Work is work." One of the stops in BABY's Mainland promotion was his hometown Xiamen, but due to the intense schedule and his family was not there, he did not bring his girlfriend to meet his parents. Has Chin Yu BB already met his parents? He said that this was normal.

Chin Yu BB explained the lack of exchange with Lam Fung on the stage was because the actors paired up in their appearance, it was crowded and they were in a hurry to go inside to watch the movie. Was she not used to promoting with her relationship? She said that as an actress, she could do nothing about film promotion. The film company made the arrangements. Did she recall happy days wit her boyfriend on the set? She said that she had more scenes with Sing Kwan and Kate Tsui Tsz Shan than she did with Lam Fung. Did her boyfriend visit the set? She said, "We have to work, we don't just worry about set visits." Tsz Shan also said that she did not feel Lam Fung came to visit the set on purpose. She said that at work she would be more focused and slowed.

Andy Lau Tak Wa in his film FIRESTORM (FUNG BO) played a heavily armed high ranking police officer who battled robbers on the streets. For the effects to be even more realistic, he personally performed the action stunts in the film; aside from the massive amount of car chases and crashes, he also jumped from a dozen or so stories above to the ground!

Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Sean Lau Ching Wan yesterday attended the film THE WHITE STORM (SO DUK)'s Beijing press conference. Ching Wan played an explosive drug enforcement inspector. Who hit him in the film? Ka Fai stood up and said, "(Louis) Koo Tin Lok and I both hit him, actually we are hitting him out of love." Ching Wan joked, "Goo Jai hit me because the story required it, but Ka Fai might have seen Goo Jai hit me and asked the director for additional scenes for his own amusement." Ka Fai explained, "Seemingly I was too heavy handed this time, from now I definitely won't work with Ching Wan on a costume film, otherwise he would definitely chop me!"

"Though we were once separated in difference places, sincerely encouraged each other to work hard for our careers and cared and supported each other like close friends. Gradually we realized that this intimate relationship exists like a family, which made us decide to step into another stage in life and continue to learn together on the road of life. We are grateful to have this rare destiny."

Charlie even posted photos of plants in pairs. Her manger sent a loving photo of her and Yau Siu Chi in water to the media. The bride to be is preparing for Saturday's wedding ceremony in Singapore.

Your thorough understanding of France and the French language has made you the bridge between Asia and France. At the same time, we also appreciate your enduring support of French directors and producers' work in China. For your hard work and determination in promoting French film in Hong Kong, I am very happy to present you with this honor that symbolizes my nation's thanks to a good friend like you for your great contributions."

Shi Nansun thanked the French government and the guests. "I was lucky to start studying French at age 12, the French culture's unique and romantic quality has extremely far reaching influence on me. It made me jump into the film dream factory without any regard. It fulfilled my dreams and enabled me to say 'Rein, Je ne regrette rien'."

Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Gao Yuanyuan's romantic film WITH OR WITHOUT (YUT SUN YUT SAI) yesterday held a production start ceremony in Beijing; they lit firecrackers and Yuanyuan leaped out of the way in fright. She said that she was surprised and a little embarrassed but not hurt.

Ting Fung officially worked on his first romance. He felt that he needed to, and with Gao Yuanyuan he decided to take the role. He said that romance was more relaxed, only a little colder. They will play from age 20 to 30 something. Ting Fung said that playing 20 something would be very hard. Yuanyuan said that as long as he smiled he would be 15 years younger. With lighting and make up he should be able to. They will have intimate scenes, mainly depending on the director's demand and the story requirements they would try to coordinate as much as they could. Ting Fung said that the shoot would be a little awkward.

Yuanyuan was full of romantic film experience, would she teach Ting Fung? She said that she and Ting Fung did not have much exchange before, but they still had chemistry. She felt that everyone would have the experience of loving someone and did not need any special lesson. Ting Fung's love life has always garnered a lot of attention. How is he now? He said, "Very good. (Good?) I am just saying, do you have any other question?"
