Artists Gregory Wong Chung Hiu two nights ago along with co-stars Justin Cheung Kin Sing, Coffee Lam Chin Yu and Deon Cheung Chung Chi attended their film IMPRISONED: SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR RICH AND PRODIGAL (YUT YUK YUT SAI GAI)'s audience appreciation event in Mongkok. Their surprise appearance at the cinema immediately caused an uproar.

Speaking of the box office, Chung Hiu very confidently said, "The goal is to break HK$ 20 million. Because it is a normal Hong Kong film, its word of mouth and box office have been good. HK$ 20 million is an entrance, anything over would be bonus. (How would you repay the audience?) Earlier Cheung Kin Sing said that he would take off his clothes and show off his muscles. I will keep him company and go swimming together. If it will reach HK$ 40 million, we will go skinny dipping! (Would the actresses go?) Don't sacrifice others, they have to get married." Cheung Kin Sing also said that he definitely would "pay his bill".

However Cheung Kin Sing did not spare the only female attendee Coffee, asking her to join the "skinny dipping". Coffee said, "If you go skinny dipping, I will hold your clothes for you. I will teach yoga next door. Naked yoga is very popular overseas! (Will you teach?) Sure! I would consider it, next question!" Cheung Kin Sing even joked that internet users could vote to support Coffee to muster up the courage to get naked.

Cheung Kin Sing was very confident about the film box office, but he hoped that even more viewers would attend to show their support. "Because we really put an effort into making it, Hong Kong people really have to help and support the domestic stuff. If this film really is bad, I wouldn't promote like this. I wouldn't be in prison for 72 hours to ask you to go."

She saw see the video of him being slapped, but she did not know that he and his girlfriend have already broken up. Coffee said, "He really loved his girlfriend. If a boyfriend can take 14 slaps from his girlfriend, he can be forgiven."

Speaking of similar situation, Coffee said that during struggle physical confrontation was inevitable. However she absolutely would not hit anyone. Later she even revealed that she had an odd habit. "I bite, I bit until he was bruised all over! I am very intense. Like when he picks me up from work, I would be so happy that I would bite! Now that I am not dating, I don't have that habit anymore."

Louis Koo Tin Lok and Taiwan star Amber Kuo earlier worked together on the romance PARIS HOLIDAY (BA LAI GA KEI) were "ordered" to be "romantic". The film was shot on location in Paris, France. The bicycle scene was even shot under the famous landmark bridge Passy. In the compelling scenery of Europe, they were not only extra involved in their romantic scene but after the shoot they kept riding their bicycles for fun.

Amber Kuo said that Passy was also where the Leonardo DiCaprio starred INCEPTION was shot. Thus she felt even more romantic. Was she worried that riding privately with Goo Jai would make their rumor even hotter? She said, "No, he is my mentor! He has taught me a lot about acting, I am very appreciative of him."

The Shu Qi and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) starred eloping romantic comedy ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE (LOK PAU BA OI CHING) yesterday held a Beijing press conference. The GRANNY's PENGHU BAY music video and film footage were shown. Before the start of the event "fake Siu Chai" Lu Kung-Wei (Jiu Kong) performed HEART TOO SOFT and even want into the audience to shake hands with the "authentic" Siu Chai.

Then Shu Qi and Siu Chai appeared hand in hand. First time director and actor Siu Chai was asked why he made this romantic film. He said that he wanted to take everyone's eyes on vacation. LOK PAU meant "sneaking off". He hoped that everyone would bravely do so and bravely chase what they were after. In the film Shu Qi dumped someone tall, rich and handsome. She joked that she did not want to but the story called for it. Siu Chai took the chance to thank Shu Qi. He said that when she had a film that was postponed, he immediately grabbed her for this film. Shu Qi also was the one who told him the old captain story in ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. In the film Siu Chai even sang a song with Shu Qi.

Shu Qi said that she tried to play a prank on Siu Chai on the set. She said, "Everyone said that he was no temper, so I want to see for myself. We deliberately had bad takes, which almost made him miss his flight. However he still didn't get mad." Siu Chai said that his weakness was "dark faced Shu Qi". Because the shoot location was a sunny beach, there was nowhere to hide. When a girl got a tan from the sun, how would he make up for that?

Shu Qi said that everyone in love would run into a bottleneck. Only after leaving for awhile would they finally the truth about love. Back then she in order to avoid her Taiwan boyfriend ran to Hong Kong to make movies. Did Siu Chai play matchmaker for Shu Qi? Shu Qi immediately gave him an angry stare, which made everyone laugh. Siu Chai replied in a hurry, "It was a misunderstanding, this film was only Jiu Kong, how could I push my sister into the fire?"

Did Shu Qi pay attention to the "little fresh meat" that appeared in the film industry in recent years? She thought for awhile and said, "Lately I noticed (Kris) Wu Yifan. He is decent. (Do you want to work with him?) I am almost retired, save him for the pretty girls."

As the event ended, everyone opened bottles of champagne to wish ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE soaring success at the box office.

Yesterday Sun Entertainment executive Paco Wong, Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Andy Hui Chi On, Wilfred Lau Ho Lung and others attended the Galaxy Macau's opening ceremony. Paco was asked about his boss Chau Cheok Wa and Mandy Lieu's baby daughter rumors but he avoided the subject. He only said that he congratulated him on the great development of Suncity in Macau.

Chilam revealed that his film RETURN OF THE CUCKOO (SUP YUET CHOR NG DIK YUET GUONG) has already wrapped and is expected to be released in Autumn; he also revealed that his Captain Cool hat and shoes have been stolen and hoped that the thief would quickly return them to the police station. He said, "If money was stolen it would be reasonable." Chilam did not believe that a fan did not. The thief did not know the items belonged to him. He also believed that the cameras all around would have caught the act. As for Myolie Wu Hung Yi possibly joining Stephen Shiu Jr's company for HK$ 25 million, Chilam said that he has not heard. He would be happy if it was true and he would look forward to working with him.
