    In 1997, the financial crash, known in Thailand as the Tom Yum Goong Crisis, was a disastrous event that crept over Asia and left millionaires bankrupt overnight.

    A bright future which two best friends, Boum and Ib, pictured together fell apart when they found out that their families were going bankrupt. All of their assets were seized to satisfy their debts. The construction of a premium luxury condominium, which their parents jointly invested in, had been suspended. Unable to accept the harsh truth, they decided to end their lives together at the unfinished tower, where they promised to be together forever. In the end, Ib died all alone.

    Twenty years later, Boum becomes a successful real estate entrepreneur. One day, she gets to visit the abandoned tower with her beloved daughter, Bell. That night, Boum wakes up and finds Bell sleepwalking and talking to herself in the dark. Bell’s sleepwalking condition continues to worsen every night. What concerns Boum the most is that Bell’s actions and words in her sleepwalking state frighteningly remind Boum of Ib.

Sir Run Run Shaw's widow, "Aunt Six" Mona Fong Yat Wa passed away on the 22nd at age 83. Yesterday a viewing was held at the Hong Kong Funeral Parlor and the funeral today. In Fong Yat Wa's low key manner in life, he funeral would only family and those closest to her to bid farewell. The funeral parlor lobby also did not have any information on Fong Yat Wa's funeral to keep security strict. The funeral reportedly would be Buddhist.

Supposedly Fong Yat Wa's hall was on the first floor. Outside the door were two pots of white flowers and the glass doors were covered with white cloth. Outsider the parlor metal gates were erected for a media area. All workers kept their lips seal about the funeral and stated that they had no information on hand. Around 3 PM yesterday many media members were present to cover the event. The security was obviously heavier as the Vice Chairperson of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Tung Chee Hwa and former chief executive Donald Tsang Yam Kuen came to pay their respect. Many guests who attended were officials, businessmen, celebrities, friends and employees.

TVB executive director and group CEO Lee Bo On greeted guests at the door. Tung Chee Hwa arrived with many guards and stayed for about 15 minutes. Lee Bo On walked him out. Later Mr. and Mrs. Tsang Yam Kuen arrived and after Lee Bo On greeted them they rushed into the hall.

Arriving earlier were Pamela Peck Wan Kam and Paul Tse Wai Chun. They left holding hands after an hour. Peck Wan Kam cried as she left and needed Tse Wai Chun's help. Soon, TVB assistant general manager Yuen Chi Wai arrived. Then former TVB CEO Norman Leung Nai Pang, TVB president Chan Kwok Keung and TVB assistant general manager Elaine Lok Yi Ling and Eric Tsang Chi Wai appeared together. Then Executive Council member Lee Kwok Cheung, Stanley Ho Hung Sun's fourth wife Angela Leong On Kei, Liu Chia-Chang, JoJo Cho Chung, Crucindo Hung Cho Sing, Liu Shikun and Sun Ying, Alex Man Chi Leung, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heung Wa Keung, Shirley Cheung Yuk Shan and others followed.

When Leong On Ka arrived she stopped for an interview and said, "We have known each other for a long time. Ms. Fong represented Mr. Shaw and TVB. When you think of TVB you would think of her. When I came to Hong Kong I already knew Ms. Fong. At the time she was already Mrs. Shaw." Speaking of memories of Ms. Fong, she praised how gracious she was. She has not treated Fong to meal ever, as Fong would always pay. She thought Ms. Fong was great, very generous and well worth everyone's respect.

Tsang Chi Wai after two hours at the hall came out for media interview. He revealed that Ms. Fong's funeral ceremony would be Buddhist and praised her for her great contribution to film. "We have known each other for decades. I really appreciate her care for colleagues. Ms. Fong loved film and television, she also were very concerned about her employees. She was very detail oriented, whether it was a blade of grass, whether the bathroom was clean, even the canteen had to be the best. She put all of her time on this business, from the Shaw to the TVB era she followed Sir Run Run Shaw. After Uncle Six passed she remained faithful to these principles. She has always been supportive of this business. As a junior colleague, employee, co-worker I really have to thank her and respect her."

Chi Wai said with admiration, "She was always supporting us to make more movies. Although many lost money she was still supportive. She never gave up on us." Chi Wai quoted Ms. Fong, "I know you didn't intend on losing all of Ms. Fong's money. Don't worry, don't be nervous, just keep shooting. We can make it back." Thus Chi Wai was very grateful for this good boss. "Shaw and TVB were like giant wheels, able to have many employees. They are very attentive and care about their hires." As for how he felt, he sorrowfully said, "As an employee of course I am not happy. Ms. Fong and I were boss and employee, friends, earlier I already knew that she wasn't feeling well. I hope that she would recover soon and able to appear at the TVB anniversary. In the end she didn't. I am very heartbroken, I can only do my part. Now I am focused on Ms. Fong's memorial event on December 12nd. The film industry and organizations are already in discussion. I hope that even more people would participate and bid a fond farewell to Ms. Fong."

Stephy Tang Lai Yun, Chrissie Chau Sau Na and others yesterday promoted their new film HUSBAND KILLER (NUI JI FOOK SAU) on the radio. The film was about wife and mistress problems. Stephy and Sister Na both would immediately take care of any relationship problem whenever they would run into one and would not drag their feet. Stephy said that she did not like to argue and would only talk sense into her other half. Sometimes silence would be a woman's strongest assault weapon. Often she would still be upset and did not want to talk. Actually sometimes when the other half would ease it with a little hug and kiss. If he did not do anything like that she would stay mad until he got it. However very often he would not be able to guess it. Sister Na agreed, "When you a are upset, you can't talk about anything. Otherwise as soon as you do you would explode. I don't like to argue either, the result wouldn't be good."

When they discovered that their other half was cheating they began to fight directly. Stephy said, "If you have problem you have to directly talk about it, you can't drag it out. The longer you drag on the problem grows. When I run into situations like these I would cut the cord right away." Sister Na would resolve the problem in the same way. "I wouldn't hold it in or drag it out, otherwise I would lose face. I would owe myself for treating him faithfully before." Co-star Gaile Lok was stuck in Bali and had to leave through a detour. They had no idea but knew that Gaile would attend the premiere next Tuesday.

In addition, earlier Stephy's mother reportedly wanted to force Stephy to cut ties with her Taiwan volleyball coach friend. Stephy was surprised. "I didn't know about such a reporter. We have always been friends and stayed in touch. Most recently when her volleyball team's documentary was released, my friends and I went to the premiere. Mommy knows we are friends. I know everyone is drawing a lot of conclusions. I already deliberately not interact with her too much or post photos online to avoid further speculation. However I don't need to avoid being friends with her."

Fong Chung Shun even wore a balding cap for the film and got zits from the heat for the comedic effect. Kwan Yu gave special thanks to the two "brothers".

Chun Yu said that this shoot was a physical challenge. In one scene he had to run while carrying a female ghost and had several bad takes. Fong Chung Shun asked for the balding look and the chest hair. Everyday he had to spend half a hour in makeup for the shoot.

[2017.11.30] JOHN WOO AND HA JI-WON TEAM UP FOR MAGIC

courtesy of mingpao.com

The film MANHUNT has already officially opened. Earlier Director John Woo (Ng Yu Sum) and Ha Ji-Won at the Taipei premiere teamed up for a dove magic trick and received raves. Actually Ha Ji-Won was super afraid of doves but in order to perfectly bring the exciting moment to the premiere she over came her anxiousness and seriously rehearsed with the director. With a knack for drawing she smoothly completed the mission. Instead Director Ng Yu Sum who had no problem with adjustments to big scenes joked, "Wow...this scene really is a little difficult!"

During practice, Ha Ji-Won saw the "dove" and said "cute". Her fear inside was immediately reduced. In addition she had a knack for drawing. Even when she was afraid she was still able to draw a beautiful dove. However when director Ng Yu Sum pulled out the dove, Ha Ji-Won who was afraid of nothing during he shoot was still a little nervous. She took small steps away from the dove. The director in order to perfectly pull out the dove also practiced many times, which made him joke, "This scene really is a little difficult!" The director also observed Ha Ji-Won's fear of doves. He said, "If I knew before that she was a little afraid, I should have arranged for her to perform with doves in MANHUNT. The result definitely would have been great."

However, Cheung Look Ping has always worried and Leslie finally passed away at age 46. Cheung Look Ping has always regretted the most when Leslie suggested to move to Australia together, but she was unable to leave her job. She kept thinking if she agreed would history be changed.

As for Leslie's recognition of his relationship with Daffy Tong Hok Tak. Cheung Look Ping once said that she felt proud. She and Tong Hok Tak often took care of each other just like family.

Director Roy Chow Hin Yeung and producer Christine To Chi Long as long as the cast celebrated with champagne. The cast included Tony Yang, Han Geng, Wang Kai and Justin Cheung Kin Sing. The latest additions Philip Keung Ho Man and Lam Suet played Zhang Jue and Dong Zhuo. Everyone who have seen them praised how convincing hey looked. After 8 months of planning and 5 months of production from the sweltering summer to fall and winter, Director Chow thanked everyone for their hard work. This time he even brought his daughter Gianna Chow Ling Ong. She made all the actors very happy on the set. Everyone was reluctant to leave and had to hug her to bid farewell.

DYNASTY WARRIORS' cast has always caught attention. Aside from Tony Yang, Han Geng and Cheung Kin Sing as Liu, Guan and Zhang, Wang Kai as Cao Cao, Louis Koo Tin Lok as Lu Bu, Ray Lui Leung Wai as Yuan Shao, Carina Lau Ka Ling as the forge castle master. The latest seen was Lam Suet as Dong Zhou, Keung Ho Man as Zhang Jue. Keung Ho Man sad, "This character looks a little like a sorcerer, so the costume is somewhat different from others. In New Zealand even the production pace seems a little more casual. This time I am very happy to work handsome director Chow Hin Yeung and pretty producer To Chi Long. I sense their passion for film. In addition they take very good care of actors." The film also has Law Kar Ying and Eddie Cheung Siu Fai.

Actually director Chow Hin Yeung and producer To Chi Long insisted on using a lot of Hong Kong actors. "This group are all faces everyone is familiar with. Getting them together for a performance really isn't easy. Some actors work together for the first time, but after this production everyone have become friends."

The director said that the New Zealand shoo was an alternative experience for the entire team. "We brought a lot of new generation Hong Kong crew with us so they can learn." They even took a helicopter to a glacier and rode horses on the plains, as they guaranteed a Three Kingdoms world that no one has ever seen.
