Dayo Wong Tsz Wah, Charmaine Sheh Sze Man, Larine Tang Yueping, Deon Cheung Chung Chi, Lam Suet and Tang Siu Juen last night attended the film AGENT MR. CHAN (DUNG DUK DUT GUNG)'s wrap banquet. They opened bottles of champagne on the stage to celebrate.

Tsz Wah said that two months went by in the blink of an eye and the production ended. He also said that this time he called in all his favors and wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone officially. "Originally this film needed two superstars, but in the end ten times that came. I really appreciate them for rescuing me from being the box office poison again. They have very charitable hearts, treating me like a pet." Did he exceed the budget because of that? Tsz Wah thanked some friends for not even taking lai see. Did he mind being called the box office poison? He said, "No, I am a realistic person. This to me instead is pretty comfortable, but I hope this one won't be because everyone put a lot of hard work into it. A lot of friends are very supportive. Ah Sheh also has a breakthrough performance."

Ah Sheh revealed that in the film she had several costumes, one of which was ugly. Tsz Wah said that it was not very ugly, only that everyone has not seen Ah Sheh like this. It was another Ah Sheh. Did Ah Sheh play ugly for the one and only time to help Tsz Wah rid of the box office poison title? Ah Sheh said that actually it was cute. Tsz Wah said, "It rids of the original Ah Sheh, she has lot of potential." Speaking of Tang Yueping removing his belt in one scene, he said that he saw how hard working she already was. The belt indeed was very hard to undo. Did she touch "Little Tsz Wah"? He said, "I think I have already passed this stage." Ah Sheh revealed that she would step on "Little Tsz Wah" with her heel. Tsz Wah said that he took all the protection and precautions.

Cheung Chun Chi grew facial hair for his Fox wed drama TRADING FLOOR and new film MO SEUNG. He said that the film MO SEUNG has already begun production. In the film he had many scenes with his idol Chow Yun Fat. Did he see Sing Sing on the set? He sad that last time at the table read he already congratulated him. What did he congratulate him on, becoming a father? He sad, "Congratulation, just congratulation! We are very ambiguous. (Did he ask you about a name?) No." He also said that Sing Sing was very professional on the set, he did not make any sweet calls.

Earlier fainting on the set, Lam Suet was asked about his current health. He said energetically, "No problem, OK! The doctor said that I was too lazy (to exercise)."

Always wanted to appear from the stage elevator, Shawn Yue Man Lok earlier while guest performing in Miriam Yeung Chin Wa's version of WHEN I THINK OF YOU and its music video stated that his compensation would be raising to the stage at her concert once! Two days ago Lok Jai fulfilled his dream early. The stage was Mayday's Dalian concert. He performed in front of over 400,000 viewers. Lok Jai excitedly jumped from under the stage with Chin Wa in tow. Chin Wa joked that after 8 years of knowing him, she has never seen Lok Jai this cute like a young girl!

The birth of on screen couple "Jimmy Cheung" and "Cherie Yu" came from Mayday's Taiwanese song CHI MING AND CHUN GIU 8 years. This year with the third film LOVE OFF THE CUFF (CHUN GIU GAU JI MING) they finally got together! Two nights day at Mayday's LIFE world tour Dalian stop, "Jimmy Cheung" Yu Man Lok and "Cherie Yu" Yeung Chin Wa were mystery guests. After Ashin sang two verses of CHI MING YU CHUN GIU he introduced them. The audience broke out in screams.

After the performance, Lok Jai excitedly said on the stage, "Many first time of my life took place today. I never thought that I could be Mayday's guest, this was the first surprise; the second surprise was I never thought that I would be in Dalian, singing in front of so many people. Thank you!" Chin Wa thanked Mayday. "Because of your song, Cherie and Jimmy went from words and music to living in our lives." Lok Jai said, "Because without your song this movie wouldn't be here. Have you thought that Chi Ming would look like this?" Ashin said, "You are prettier than we imagine." Chin Wa said that 8 years ago when they made the first film, she never thought that she would be able to participate in Mayday's performance. It was very worth remembering, so they took a selfie with the audience.

Later Ashin said to them, "Today we come to 'Life Co. Ltd.' you can't punch the card to get off work so easily. You have to sing a song, so everyone would be willing to go to the movies to show their support." Lok Jai said, "I don't know if they would want that? I am afraid it would affect their mood, are you certain it's OK? Don't yell at me if I don't sing well!" Then they again sang Mayday's SUDDENLY MISSING YOU SO BAD. Over 400,000 viewers waved their glow sticks and sang along.

Before the show, Chin Wa and Lok Jai signed "Cherie Yu" and "Jimmy Cheung" on the LOVE OFF THE CUFF original soundtrack and presented it to Mayday. They returned the favor with their autographed record.

After the show, Chin Wa was still excited. He softened his stance from earlier when he declined to sing again. "I really have never performed at a concert with so many people, it was very high, very happy, I was very reluctant to leave. I hope to do it once in Hong Kong!" Chin Wa also said that she was very happy. "I never thought that Jimmy Cheung and I would be guest performers at Mayday's concert. Because Chun Giu and Chi Ming came from Mayday's song, today was our first reunion in 8 years. It was very touching. I wish I can start a concert now, even going to the karaoke box now. However I have to keep promoting." She revealed, "Yue Man Lok is very happy, he was backstage jumping from the room to the stage, skipping like a young girl. My mouth was wide open, it really was a great happy discovery. After 8 years of knowing him it's the first time I saw him like this, it is an unusually memory that would be hard to forget!"

With the success of the new film LOVE OFF THE CUFF (CHUN GIU GAU JI MING), Miriam Yeung Chin Wa took "Cherie Yu" and "Jimmy Cheung"'s classic line at their convenience store from the first film and had a little fun with the Hong Kong and Mainland box office. She said, "Mainland box office was over 60 million (RMB), Hong Kong box office broke 6 million (HK$), Yue Man Lok is called 'Uncle 6'. With three 6's in this hand, what am I waiting for? Ah Lok is also called 666, I have to thank 'Lok Gor'!" Lok Jai stated that the team put their hearts into making the movie and promoting. For days he, Chin Wa, the director and actors split up to promote. The box office success was very encouraging.

Lok Jai's girlfriend Sarah Wang went to the movies with a big group of friends to see LOVE OFF THE CUFF while Lok Jai flew to Dalian for a show. Later Sara Wang posted on instagram, "We watched a great movie! #Jimmy is very manly #great" Lok Jai immediately replied, "I know".

Two nights ago Miriam Yeung Chin Wa performed in Guangzhou. After learning that the box office took off, she was so happy that she stopped her duet with guest Edmond Leung Hon Man four times. Edmond thought that he was on a prank program.

Leung Hon Man and Chin Wa performed the argument song GET LOST. He told Chin Wa to foster their emotions together. When the music was about to start, Chin Wa suddenly said, "Actually we are really pretty amazing......" Edmond's emotions was disrupted and Chin Wa immediately apologized and turned to the audience to say, "People sing love songs and become known all over, we become famous for our argument. Isn't that amazing?" The audience cracked up. Then she resumed her performance after calming down, but she said the wrong verse. She started over. Edmond said, "Then I can get into it again!" When the musicians prepared to start the song again, Chin Wa could not stop laughing. Edmond held back his laughter and said, "I can start over again and again, do you need a spotlight?" He deliberately changed the subject in hopes of Chin Wa recovering from her laughing fit, but she was almost rolling on the floor laughing. Edmond helplessly said to the audience, "Would you please stop making her laugh, she will wet herself soon!"

The music started again and Chin Wa halted it again. She said, "Now I am not ready!" Edmond rolled his eyes. "Actually is this a prank program? Did all of you get together to play a prank on me?" Chin Wa explained as she laughed, "It seems to be very awkward. We are all very happy (How do you everyone to get you back into the mood?) We had a lot of fun chatting before, suddenly we had to go to the other extreme and argue. I have to calm down a bit first! (Everyone is helping you!) Don't ask everyone to yell at me together!" Then they completed the duet smoothly.

Famous filmmaker, producer and executive producer Chan Pui Wa yesterday passed away from cancer. Over the years Sister Pui Wa contributed a lot to the Hong Kong entertainment business. Many industry insiders mourned her passing.

Always with a smile on her face, Chan Pui Wah passed away at 7AM yesterday morning due to cancer caused complications. In the 80s she joined Golden Harvest and went from the accounting department to the production department to oversee the numbers due to her outstanding performance. She mainly was responsible for control the film production expenses, budgets, studio scheduling and other tasks. Later she caught Sammo Hung Kam Bo's eye. He negotiated for her to be in management of Bo Ho Films under Golden Harvest. In the 80s she worked as producer, executive producer and other posts on many films. She was able to stand firm in a man's world and produced many films like MR. VAMPIRE (GEUNG SI SIN SUN), HEART OF DRAGON (LUNG DIK SUM), WINNERS AND SINNERS (KEI MAU MIU GAI NG FOK SING), A FISHY STORY (NG TUET MUK DIK YUN), HER FATAL WAYS (BIU JEH NEI HO YEH!), SAVIOR OF THE SOUL (91 SUN DIU HUP NUI), ASHES OF TIME (DUNG CHE SAI DUK), CHUNG KING EXPRESS (CHUNG HING SUM LUM), A SIMPLE LIFE (TOH JEH) and LOST AND LOVE (SUT GOO). Chan Pui Wa worked with many superstars and directors like Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Jackie Chan, Hung Kam Bo, Yuen Biao, Anita Mui Yim Fong, Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing, Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, Brigitte Lin (Lam Ching Ha), Wong Kar Wai and others and received their trust and rave. In the 90s she worked as a TVB artist department executive and had great relationships with many television artists.

Chan Pui Wa later worked as an artist manger at TVB and even managed Lau Tak Wa's film company. She was nicknamed the Imperial Butler. Later after learning that she had lymphoma she began treatment. 3 years ago after her condition stabilized she exercised daily and she must return home before 10 to rest. Because color gradually returned to her face, everyone thought that she was gradually recovering. However recently her condition worsened, as she expressed to her friends that she was preparing mentally for the day when she would become welcome home in Heaven. Her children, grandchildren, church friends and artists friends of many years often kept her company during this final period.

Having worked with Sister Pui Wa on A SIMPLE LIFE (TOH JEH), Andy Lau Tak Wa has known her since the 80s. Wa Jai said, "Soon after I got into the business in the 80s I met an elder. She loved me like family. We worked together for years and took care of each other. Her passing would leave me truly missing her, but I wish her a safe journey and would forever have Sister Pui Wa in my heart." Connie Chan Bo Chu learned from the press about Sister Pui Wa's passing. Her eyes were all red and teary as she spoke. "We have only known each other in the past few years, Big Sister (Fung So Bo) introduced us. Each time I performed Chinese opera she would definitely be there. Earlier I knew that she had stomach problems. Early this year everyone still were in contact, we even chatted. Only lately I have been busy with rehearsal, originally I wanted to invite her to watch Cantonese opera. Unfortunately she is no longer with us."

Sonija Kwok Sin Nei said that earlier she did not know Sister Pui Wa's seriously ill, only earlier she suddenly thought of her. That night someone told her that she was in a nursing home. Thus two days ago she went to visit. At the time her family was there as well.

Sin Nei said, "When saw Sister Pui Wa, she wasn't very thin and was rather full. She only looked a little pale. In addition she even responded to us. I wished that she would return to home in Heaven, have a safe journey. Her pain has ended!" She also recalled when she was at TVB, once she was hospitalized for stomach illness. Sister Pui Wa visited Sin Nei and even brought delicious baked goods to the hospital. She kept coaxing Sin Nei to eat. At the time she truly felt that she was as nice to her as her own mother.

Sheila Chan Suk Lan said that she did not know about Sister Pui Wa's passing. She remembered during her Golden Harvest days they worked together on two movies and praised her for taking care of all the artists like a nanny. Eva Wong Yu Sze was shocked about Sister Pui Wa's passing. When she joined TVB she also visited her and got to know her job. However they did not have a lot of opportunities to truly spend time together.

Ng Yu said that he has known Sister Pui Wa for years and praised her for her outstanding performance at the TVB artist management department. She was very helpful. "Whether with scheduling or casting her arrangements were complete. She was friendly, I have never seen her get mad. The Lord will continue to bless her. May she rest in peace." Elaine Lok Yi Ling said that Sister Pui Wa was 68. She spent over half of her life in film and television. She was friendly and easygoing, hard working, capable and courageous, she also had a lot of positive ideas.

Musician Tang Chi Wai announced the news online. He posted that this was the saddest day in his life, describing Sister Pui Wa as his benefactor, his Venerable Tang Monk. She turned him from an originally rebellious youth to have a chance to stand on the stage, taught him about life and remembering where he came from. He played a song for Sister Pui Wa and wished that she may rest in peace.

Sammi Cheng Sau Man would miss Sister Pui Wa's kind smile and sincere sharing. She remembered chatting with Sister Pui Wa at Wa Jai's home, which benefit her a lot. Her unwavering belief moved and inspired her.

Ada Choi Siu Fun quoted the Bible online. "You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy. Psalm 30:11". She posted, "My good friend, I know that you are dancing in the Heavenly home, singing with the joyous white clothes!"

Chua Lam mourned his late friend Chan Pui Wa. Because she was in the restaurant business in Australia, Chua Lan wrote, "I am about to leave for Melbourne, I thought of when the Hong Kong film golden age passed she once immigrated there. It was like yesterday. Have a safe journey."

Wu Fung have known Chan Pui Wa for almost 20 years. Brother Sau said, "Today I even wanted to call her, no wonder no one picked up. She was a very, very good film producer and filmmaker." Brother Sau put his hands together and mourned his late friend. Brother Sau has been in film and television for years, made countless productions and no longer remembered he has worked with Chan Pui Wah. They ran into each other at TVB. He only knew that she produced films for Sammo Hung Kam Bo and worked with Lau Tak Wa on SHOCK WAVE (CHAK DAN JUEN GA). They often had contact.

Sister Pui Wa created many legendary films with Wong Kar Wai. Wong Kar Wai responded through Jet Tone, "Have a safe journey, rest in the Lord's embrace!" Kevin Cheng Ka Wing said, "Sister Pui Wa was the nicest person I know, she was a faithful Christian. My condolences to her family!"

Sister Pui Wa in a religious publication interview revealed that because she was too busy with work her marriage suffered. Even her daughter was mad at her. Later she returned to the church. The pastor helped her to open the door with the key of love, to beg for her daughter's forgiveness. She expressed regret and lamented, "So what if you made money?" Her children would rather Mama stay at home and cook them a meal. Luckily she was able to fix the relationships in time and finally able to return home to Heaven in the embrace of love in her final days.

Simon Yam Tat Wa said, "I just found out this morning and am still very upset, because Sister Pui Wa from then to now was Hong Kong's great film producer and contributed a lot to Hong Kong film. Everyone felt that her passing was a loss of great talent!"

Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui sad, "Her name was Chan Pui Wa. My first time as a director on NEVER ENDING SUMMER (NG SAM GWAI YU CHAN YUAN YUAN) was completely due to her encouragement. She became my producer, recommended investors, I was speechless with appreciation......I won't disappoint you. I will keep making my movies great."

Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming said, "It's very sudden. I saw her a year ago. Sister Pui Wa was very nice! I remember when I just started after finishing the training class, Sister Pui Wa already gave us a lot of encouragement. When I heard the news today it felt very sudden and very regrettable. When an elder who helped and loved the younger generation so much passed away, I am a little saddened."

Bosco Wong Chung Chak said, "Huh? It's so sudden! I really didn't know! We have contact, but not much. We haven't seen each other in a long time. Normally we would exchange greeting in text message, but she never said that she was ill. I really am in shock! When I was at TVB, Sister Pui Wa would often give my advice. She had a good relationship with my Mommy, maybe the older folks had more to talk about. Normally they would talk over the phone."

Tsui Siu Ming said, "It's very regrettable. She and I began working together at Golden Harvest. She was very enthusiastic and very passionate about film. She helped many artists and directors. She was a great assistant to (Leonard) Ho Koon Cheung. When she left Hong Kong to start a restaurant business in Australia, I went to Emperor Motion Pictures to become its CEO. When I left and everything was settled, I invited Pui Wa to return to Hong Kong to help Mr. Yeung (Albert Yeung Sau Sing). Originally I wanted to visit her this morning, but I read about her passing in the group."

Ron Ng Cheuk Hei who started at TVB and recently made the switch to film saw Chan Pui Wa as his benefactor. Currently working in Nanchang he was heartbroken, earlier he just promised to see her when he would return to Hong Kong. "She was always asking my manager, 'How is Cheuk Hei?' Occasionally we would meet, but she couldn't wait for me to get back!" He also said that Chan Pui Wa took great care of him and taught him a lot about life. Raymond Lam Fung stated that it was as if he lost a family member. "Sister Pui Wa to me was like family. She attentively took care of each and every one of us artists not only at work, but also taught me a lot of about life. I am very heartbroken about her sudden passing."

Hung Kam Bo was also saddened about Chan Pui Wa's passing. He never thought that she would pass so soon. "From my first film as a director THE IRON FISTED MONK (SAM DUK WOR SEUNG YU CHUNG MAI LOK) then every movie after, almost all of the me Pui Wa produced for me. She was always helping me!" He revealed that when he started his film company, Chan Pui Wa arranged for all the employees. "I am very heartbroken! Yet as soon as I think of Pui Wa, my memory would be her smile. I would forever miss her!"

"God" Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo) and Golden Horse Best Actress Zhou Dongyu, producer Peter Chan Ho Sun, director Derek Hui Won Yu yesterday attended their film THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED (HEI FOON NEI)'s press conference. In the film Gum Sing Mo and Zhou Dongyu fell in love over food. Dongyu even daringly said that she wanted to "tempt" the god! Gum Sing Mo immediately congratulated former rumored old flame Charlie Yeung Choi Nei on giving birth to twins, but whether they will work together he will have to see "Director Yeung's" intention.

During the photo opportunity, Gum Sing Mo and Zhou Dongyu appeared to be strangers but the latter was energetic, lively and full of expressions. When she saw Gum Sing Mo posing for photos, she kept saying "very handsome" and said in less than fluent Cantonese, "very handsome, I like you". However Gum Sing Mo still did not respond. When the event brought out a fruit bouquet for the ceremony, Dongyu helped herself to the strawberry and lemon without any care.

They spoke to the media. Producer Chan Ho Sun called Gum Sing Mo's personality old fashioned. Gum Sing Mo said, "This performance is different from the past. This time the screen writer is very young, and has a lot of young people's ideas. Although it is a romantic comedy, it doesn't try too hard to be funny. (Is it different from your real personality?) I haven't thought about it, I like to eat too but not as picky as the character. However I understand the feeling of being picky." Gum Sing Mo played a perfectionist character, he admitted that at work he was in pursuit of perfection.

Playing a chef in the film, Dongyu could not cook at all in real life except for frying eggs and helping Mama with dumplings. She praised Gum Sing Mo as very amazing, being able to make the very hard to eat props appear to be very fragrant and very tasty. She had to learn from him. Dongyu even said that she wanted to seduce Gum Sing Mo. "I give him quiet a headache, tempt a god in a special way. Sometimes I would 'improvise' the performance and not follow the script, which would surprise him. He has a lot of a real reaction and is able to follow up. He is quite cute." Chan Ho Sun immediately explained the "tempt" Dongyu referred to actually meant "tease".

Gum Sing Mo admitted that at first he did not know what to do with Dong Yu. He was not used to her way to communicate with acting at all, and the schedule was very tight. However her performance method was very exciting to him. "As long as co-stars can pick up her performance they are still fine. I am very envious that she is able to perform like this. Sometimes I am afraid of interpreting her performance! (Would you like this type of cute girl?) It's possible, anything is possible!"

Would Dongyu want to win Best Actress again after working with Chan Ho Sun on SOUL MATE? She said, "Don't say that anymore, this is life." When the event brought out a "fruit bouquet", the host asked them to symbolize love with fruit. Dongyu stated, "I would choose lemon. It looks fresh and bright but when you take a bite, it is very sour like love. (Have you experienced any heartbreak?) Yes, when I was little I didn't get it. This feeling is great for getting into the character. (Would you take the initiative and make your feeling known?) I didn't in the past and I won't now." Gum Sing Mo felt that each fruit could represent love, depending on who he was with. In the end he chose cantaloupe and pineapple, both of which were hard on the outside but soft inside.

In addition, Gum Sing Mo's rumored old flame Yeung Choi Nei just gave birth to twins. Would he congratulate her and work with her? Gum Sing Mo was surprised, seemingly did not know that she has become a mother. He immediately congratulated her. "Really? Congratulation congratulation! I rarely read the news so I don't know. (Would you like to work together again?) She is already Director Yeung! Let's see what Director Yeung thinks about that!"
