The Raymond Wong Pak Ming produced, David Lam Tak Luk
directed, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Julian Cheung Chilam, Kevin Cheng Ka Wing,

Nam starred L STORM (L FUNG BO) earlier opened with a very ideal box office
performance. It opened with HK$ 1 million to be the box office
champion. As of two days ago its total box office was HK$ 7,877,924 so
far.
The Anti Corruption Storm series reached its third film and
added to its cast and story. Its action was even better than before. The
large scale gun fight unprecedented. Chilam said, "After so many crime
films I have never worked on such a large scale road block, two blocks
were closed off for explosions and car flips with almost 100 extras and
a multiple day shoot." The team for this gun fight scene used several
thousand bullets. In particular when Chilam forced the money laundering
organization mastermind Tam Yiu Man into a corner, he used a heavy
machine gun and sparks flew all over. He jumped on top of a car and
convincingly played the armed robber role perfectly.
For realism, the gun fight's reaction bullets were placed very
close to the actors. They almost blew up right next to them. Tam Yiu
Man twice got spark into his eyes and needed saltine to wash his eyes. He
said, "Sparks came from different angles and were unavoidable. All the
eye drops were useless. In addition due to the rushed production I didn't
pay any more mind to it. When I got home I still felt something but the
next morning when I got up it was gone." Tam Yiu Man said that he has
not made such a fierce gun fight in awhile. He was excited and jumped on
the roof of the car to look cool. He spent time on practicing stepping on
the tire then jumping on the roof. For safety, Tam Yiu Man and Chilam
needed to communicate well with the action director and the gun team and
rehearsed many time.

The film THE WHITE STORM 2 DRUG LORDS (SO DUK 2 TIN DEI
DUI KUET) last night held a production wrap banquet. Producer and star
Andy Lau Tak Wa, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Michael Miu Kiu Wai, Karena Lam Ka
Yun and Kent Cheng Juk Si attended. Lau Tak Wa earlier decided to cancel
public concert ticket sales and only sell tickets online. Wa Jai said
that unusual time requires unusual measures. He hoped that in the future
singers and organizers would come up with new ideas.
Ka Yun already played a couple with Wa Jai in their first
collaboration. She joked, "It was a dream come true for me, I was just
afraid that he wouldn't want me." Wa Jai answered, "I wasn't in charge
before, now as a producer I am!" Ka Yun even said that she did not wear
a wedding gown for her own wedding. This time in the film she had a
chance to and felt a little bashful. However for her first collaboration
with Wa Jai she felt like they have known each other for a very long
time. Wa Jai also agreed that their frequency was very close. As for
any intimate scene in the film, Wa Jai joked, "How far can we go? It
would just be the sweetness of life, the feeling would be very real!" Ka
Yun also said that they would have the chemistry and relationship of a
couple. Has Ka Yun bought Lau Tak Wa's concert tickets? She said that
she could only get 4 tickets, and she would wait for them to go on sale in
front of the computer.
Lau Tak Wa's concert has not officially gone on sale yet but has
already become the target of ticket scarpers, as someone was attacked
while waiting for tickets overnight. Wa Jai expressed deep concern over
the matter, and would only accept online ticket sales. Did Wa Jai think
for a long time to come up with the online only public sale? Wa Jai
replied, "First this method would stop any physical conflict, no line
would be a little better. It puts people's safety first. However no
line would also have its problem. I can only take one step at a time,
unusual time calls for unusual measure. This is not something that my
concert alone can change. It requires everyone to think over time because
many more problems would appear. I hope singers and organizers would
think about new ideas." Would he add shows to ease the fight over
tickets? Wa Jai said, "I just recovered, and I can't add more shows than
20. If I add matinees I am afraid that I won't be able to handle it.
Later the very powerful (Jacky) Cheung Hok Yau will also perform
concerts, so adding shows would be a problem."
Was he worried that the September 4 ticket sale would crash the
system? Wa Jai stated, "I am, because there are still a lot of problems.
We only have one pipe and three channels, congestion is expected. So I
hope those involved would be more tense and do a little better!"
Goo Jai and Sam Gor Miu Kiu Wai have many action scenes in THE
WHITE STORM 2 DRUG LORD. Goo Jai played the villain boss and would not
fight until he had to. Sam Gor instead jumped from 6 floors above, but
he used a double. Goo Jai also had a train track scene that was highly
dangerous. When asked if they asked Wa Jai for concert tickets, Goo Jai
said that he ordered a few from a certain channel for family and friends.
Sam Gor also said that he ordered tickets but they had to be rationed.
He said, "Each time Wa Jai performs a concert, my phone would be very
busy like people know I would definitely have tickets. So I would say
that actually Wa Jai and I aren't too close!" Goo Jai said, "I get calls
for all concerts in this business, like I am a ticket retailer!"

The film MEN ON THE DRAGON (YIK LAU DAI SHOOK) grew
stronger in momentum as it broke HK$ 10 million at the box office. Two
nights ago it held a celebration. Francis Ng Chun Yu, Nancy Wu Ting Yan,
Tony Wu Tsz Tung, Jacquelin Chong Sze Man and director Sunny Chan Wing
Sun attended. Each held a special edition moon cake to celebrate in hopes
of the film to keep its run until the Mid Autumn Festival.
Ng Chun Yu admitted although this time the film did not open to
a HK$ 10 million box office, but with word of mouth it grew stronger and
stronger and thus he still felt pleased. Earlier he stated that if the
box office would pass HK$ 10 million he would show off his muscles. He
immediately said that Poon Chan Leung was the one who agreed. He of
course would wait until the end. For how much would he be willing to? He
said, "It's not a money issue. Later it may go to HK$ 12 or 15 million,
I would cover the end. I am working out right now, I will show what I
will get. However Poon Chan Leung said that he would show one piece (of
muscles). He really is irresponsible."
How would Ting Yan show her support? She said, "I normally work
out, I have to work out more, but of course Brother (Chun Yu) would have
to. That's rare. How often would you get to see him showing off for
everyone. No one has seen him do it all the years!" Chun Yu admitted
that he hoped the audience would continue to support the film, as he did
not want the film to stop at HK$ 10 million. He also thanked the 4
major cinema circuits for their support, scheduling cinemas to have prime
time shows and enabling them to row their dragon boat until the Mid
Autumn Festival. However the film cost HK$ 16 million. Chun Yu said
that even if the box office will reach HK$ 20 million they still will be
empty handed. "In business you can't disappoint the boss, you have to make
a little for further investment next time."
Wu Tsz Tung was working on a movie and still took a hour meal
break to attend. He was very happy that the film made over HK$ 10 million
at the box office and hoped that it would run until the Mid Autumn
Festival. The entire family could see it. Since every "uncle" would show
their muscles to thank the audience, Wu Tsz Tung said that people have
already seen his muscles in the film. Ken Wong Tak Bun, Poon Chan Leung,
Ng Chun Yu and director Chan Wing Sun would have everyone's interest
instead.
Tsz Tung said that his girlfriend Stephanie Au Hoi Shun has
already seen the advanced screening with family and praised him. As for
her Asian Games silver medal performance in the 4X100 medley relay, he
said, "I congratulated her. As an athlete one would give their all in
every race. Awards are encouragements. She too values the process more
than the result, but this medal gives her even more confidence as she
wants to prepare for the Olympic Games!" His girlfriend just returned to
Hong Kong and is resting. He has to work so he hoped to take time in a
few days to celebrate with a good meal.

Mr. Chen, aka Big Brother, a teacher with rather rusty writing skills but armed with the most knowledgeable fists and heart of steel, comes to enlighten and inspire the students with his unconventional teaching methods. Just as the kids are improving their work and enjoying the merits of the educational system, an opportunist entrepreneur creates havoc by sending in a motley gang of fighters to win over the land. Their approach, however, isn't all that persuasive with Mr. Chen, and he and his beloved class are going to give the unwelcome guests the benefits of a real education.

And the afterlife guardian’s tragic lives on earth thousand years ago are uncovered one by one during their battle against the god in human world.
The film HOTEL SOUL GOOD (NUI WONG CHONG DOH CHING) two
nights ago held a banquet. Actors Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Maggie Siu Mei
Kei, Louis Cheung Kai Chung and ToNick attended. Ah Chung said that the
film was made around a year ago, a dark comedy in which he and Chau Sau
Na played happy rivals. She could see ghosts and he would often be
possessed by three ghosts Eric Kot Man Fai, Richard Ng Yiu Hon and Siu
Mei Kei. Thus he had to imitate their movement. Each actor has his or
her uniqueness that could be easily grasped, but required observations
of their behavior.
Was playing a woman the hardest for Ah Chung? He said that
fortunately he has worked with Maggie on television and spent five or six
months together. He was rather familiar with her gestures. "Maggie is as
pretty as a fairy, I would do my best to imitate her as I don't want to
make her look ugly!" Ah Chung praised Maggie for being good looking and
a good actor. When she started he already took notice and watched her
grow. "When I was a little I would skip my homework to watch her series.
Of course I thought she was very hot. She is just as hot now. I am very
happy to be able to work with her!"
Maggie felt embarrassed from Ah Chung's praise. "I don't know
what to say. Today he is doing charity work. I feel that Chau Sau Na is
very pretty." Sister Na praised Ah Chung for working hard to get into
his character. With him at work the set would be very happy. In addition
he was very willing to help others. Maggie n the film played Chau Sau
Na's late mother. Speaking of working with Ah Chung and Kot Man Fai, was
holding back her laughter hard for her? Sister Na said that when the
director yelled cut they were still being funny. She really was very
afraid of them improvising on the spot. During the performance she had to
stay alert.
The Eric Tsang Chi Wai produced, Chin Ka Lok directed
action film THE GOLDEN JOB (WONG GUM HING DAI) invited "YOUNG AND
DANGEROUS" Dior Cheng Yi Kin, Jordan Chan Siu Chun, Michael Tse Tin Wa and
Jerry Lamb Hiu Fung to "reunite". Tin Wa, Ka Lok and Lam Hiu Fung's
stills yesterday were released for the first time. As "intelligence
agent" Bill, Tin Wa continued to look explosively chok as a superficial
person who was only after a materialistic life and valued food and fun.
Thus he did not mind taking a short cut to make a quick buck. In the end
he made a mistake and sold out his brothers, leading to a break up; the
Ka Lok played "driver" was calm. Not only did he excel in driving and
upgrading vehicles, he was able to remain calm in danger. He was the
"mediator" between the brothers; as the "hacker" Mouse, Lam Hiu Fung looked
no different from the average "otaku" but actually is the a top notch
computer expert. Because he was the youngest and easy going, he became
the target of his brothers' ridicule.
Jason Chan Pak Yu yesterday appeared on Commercial Radio.
Speaking of working on the charity film ADIEU (GO BIT JI JIN) at the
invitation of his friend King Chiu King Ho, the director Kenneth Lau Hau
Wai was suspected to have "run off" after swindling tens of millions.
Jason admitted that the news was very surprising. As for Chiu King Ho
gathering investment for the film from friends, he said that Chiu King
Ho felt guilty and hoped that he would not carry the weight of it all by
himself.
Jason said that during the production nothing was unusual. After
the shoot he immediately received his salary. He heard that the film
would be edited again for scoring, but he did not know about any actual
release date. Earlier he attended a screening and said that he was not
good at emotional scenes at all. At most he was only able to perform
brotherly love. He had a hard time with getting into character and falling
for his co-star. Thus he was not good at relationship scene and joked
that his wife could relax.
Louis Koo Tin Lok and Julian Cheung Chi Lam reunited in the
film L STORM (L FUNG BO). The "ageless wonder" Chilam shook off his
"face value" pretty look, and appeared with a rough beard and tattoo
look that his wife Anita Yuen Wing Yi really appreciated. Without any
"tattoo" in real life he joked that he had a love tattoo long ago -- "heart
tattoo" as he tattooed everything in his heart to express his love to
his wife Len Len. As the top ICAC investigation supervisor Goo Jai would
have many car chases. The Best Actor performed the stuns himself without
holding back, the most important was to take the proper safety precaution.
Cheung Chi Lam said that this time was not a face value
competition with Goo Jai. Instead he would make himself ugly with a beard
and tattoo. "In the past I have played cops many times, I ask for a
different look so when I promote I can tell which movie it is as soon as I
see the poster." Chilam's father in law is a retired cop, so naturally he
asked for some information on being a cop. He also asked his police
friends so he would be more confident in his performance.
Working in the heat was rather rough for Chilam. "The studio that
the police station main set was in had no air conditioning. Each time I
went I would be soaked through. I tried to finish quick. I sweat so much
even my shorts were drenched. When I got home I could wring the sweat out
of it."
As for his outstanding costume in the film, he said, "Many friends
like this tattoo bearded look and think it's great. In particular Deborah
Li praises how good looking it is and even asks me to keep it. My wife
also says it's very manly. I don't have any tattoo, when I see myself
with the sticker tattoo designs it is a lot of fun. I also show my son
Demon Child (Morton)." In real life, Chilam never thought of getting a
tattoo and had no idea what tattoo he would get. As for love tattoo,
Chilam snickered, "It's tattoo in the heart, it's a heart tattoo. (Would
you accept your son getting one?) I rarely object to what he does, as
long as he isn't a bad person maybe he can get 'serve the country with
the utmost loyalty', haha."
Goo Jai in the film had car chase scenes. He did not feel they
were dangerous. In addition working on car chase was his favorite because
normally he would not have the chance to drive. Usually he would only
have a chance at work. In recent years he has made many car chase scenes,
the most important was to take the full safety precaution. He said,
"Earlier I just finished a car crash scene, which was dangerous. I
still performed it myself as I didn't want to use a double. The most
important to coordinate with everyone, take all the safety precaution,
make sure whether the knees would hit the front and whether the seat
belt is tight enough. (Now you probably would watch myself even more?)
I try to do whatever I can, the level of realism is much more
entertaining."
Speaking of Stephy Tang Lai Yun's lack of car chase experience,
would Goo Jai give her some advice? He said, "I don't need to, when I
drive fast she would be very frightened, we try not to rehearse that so
real emotions can flow." Goo Jai lamented because this year all the
winter movies have been shot in the summer. Earlier many places around
the globe had high temperature heat wave. Goo Jai wore long sleeve under
the blazing sun all day. He said that he has not have heat rash yet, but
he felt dizzy like a symptom of heat stroke. I had to drink sweet
beverage to replenish. When day turned into night, he had to adjust to
the biological clock and was very tired all over.
L STORM opened for 4 days. Its cumulative Hong Kong box
office was HK$ 4,571,084, the best opening week performance for a Hong
Kong film in recent weeks. When L STORM opened, it became the box
office champion with HK$ 1,027,491 and outran all the Chinese and foreign
films. As the soul of three anti corruption storm film series films, Goo
Jai said, "Making the movie is very hard, persisting is very hard. For
the movie to reach the first and second films it is already very hard,
from one to three it is even harder. So I hope everyone would support
L STORM."
The film PROJECT GUTENBERG (MO SEUNG) will open on October
4th. Two leads Chow Yun Fat and Aaron Kwok Fu Sing yesterday at the
promotion turned into the group's chief executive director and chief
technical director to announce the distribution of Hong Kong highest
denomination bill HK$ 5,000 and sign a distribution contract in the
ceremony. Bona Group Chief Operation Officer Jeffrey Chan Wing Hung,
Emperor Group chair Dr. Albert Yeung Sau Sing, director Felix Chong Man
Keung, producer Wong Ban, Fat Soh Jasmine Tan, actors Liu Kai Chi,
Catherine Chau Ka Yi, Paulyn Sun Kai Kwan, Deon Cheung Chun Chi, Justin
Cheung Kin Sing, Leung Kin Ping, Carl Ng Ka Lung and Dominic Lam Ka Wa
opened fire to toast to the film's box office success! Fat Gor and Sing
Sing have worked together many time. Fat Gor said that this time they
worked like "you go, I go". They were like two brothers who would die
without seeing each other for a day. After the wrap did Fat Gor miss
him very much? Fat Gor said with envy, "Sing Sing has two girls now, what
would he need me for?"
Fat Gor grew out his hair and wore sunglasses and the same style of
suit as Sing Sing. Fat Gor revealed that from June last year when the
production began to the August wrap, he went to Chiang Mai and Vancouver
for location shoots. Sing Sing pointed out that this time Fat Gor had it
the roughest this time because in Chiang Mai had to be in a rain of
bullets and do wire work. Fat Gor joked, "I am very happy, I haven't held
a gun in a long time!" Would he dual wield like in A BETTER TOMORROW? He
said, "All kinds of guns, even squirt guns. It's very exciting, but it
is still quite far from the 80s. Before when I worked it would take half a
year, now it would take only two week. Before whatever the director
wanted to shoot we shot, we could even scrap what we shot. Now it is
very expensive to make a movie. The planning has to be even more
precise."
Did he get hurt from the action and gun fight scenes? Fat Gor
stated, "Since I got into the habit of exercising I am more agile, even
ten Kwok Fu Sing would die!" Sing Sing admired Fat Gor. They both
exercise to stay fit but Fat Gor even hired an instructor to train his
shooting. After years of movies with guns he still trained anew. Fat
Gor said, "I used to just guess. I live and I learn, I have to more than
look he part. I trained for several months. I am smart and a good
student, I also put a lot of effort into it!"
Sing Sing also praised Fat Gor since working together last year he
is just as fit. Fat Gor instead thanked Sing Sing as his "mentor". When
they first worked together on THE MONKEY KING he saw Sing Sing running in
the room after work. He was affected to work out as well. Now even his
hepatitis has been cured, he felt the benefit of exercise truly was
wonderful. Fat Gor said, "The first time we worked together we just poked
at each other, in COLD WAR we didn't have much time together either. This
time you go I go, like two brothers who would die without each other for a
day!" Would he miss him very much now? Fat Gor said, "Sing Sing has two
girls, what would he need me for? He has a big treasure and a small
treasure, his daughter is even the golden goblet!" Fat Gor also asked
Sing Sing if his daughter has learned to say Papa? Sing Sing smiled and
said that she started baby talk.
Earlier the film TRIVISA (SHU DAI JIU FUNG)'s team was sentenced
for mismanagement of prop currency. Fat Gor said that this time the team
followed the process exactly and reported to the Hong Kong Monetary
Authority and Film Censorship Office. All the "currency" printed were
reported.
Cheung King Sing was a judge on ViuTV's KING MAKER but received
online criticism that he was saying nothing useful. He said that he has
already been "censored" and thus he had no comment. From now on he would
choose more careful and judge again when suitable. However he said that
the program has been edited, which made him look like he was upset all the
time. This time would be a good lesson for him.
Ron Ng Cheuk Hei and Annie Liu (Lau Sum Yau) two nights ago
attended the film JOI GEIN NUI YUN GAI (SEE YOU LADIES' MARKET) production
wrap banquet. Sum Yau brought out a cake to celebrate Ng Cheuk Hei's
September 9th birthday in advance. He would celebrate with dinner with
family on the actual day.
Sum Yau during the shoot had a skin reaction from the make up and
non stop perspiration. The medicine made her face swell up a little. She
said, "The film has many night scenes, staying up is bad for the skin and
the body. I am used to getting up and going to bed early, but when I get
off work it's time to get up." Ng Cheuk Hei did not mind working nights
because he was used to it from working on TVB series. He joked that the
word "sleep" had nothing to do with him, the worst was when he went 7 days
without sleep. When he got home he showered then went back to work. "At
the time I was just a shell without a soul, I was so tired that I couldn't
even remember my lines. In 4 or 5AM I had a scene with Brother Chung
(Damien Lau Chung Yun), by the third take I couldn't say a word. The
director couldn't take it anymore and told me to go home. On the way home
at 50 miles per hour I still scrapped the divider." Sum Yau was impressed
with Ng Cheuk Hei being able to go 7 days without sleep. Earlier when she
worked on DEEP IN THE REALM OF CONSCIENCE she could not take three days
without sleep. Ng Cheuk Hei said, "If I can't take it I lose my job right
away." Sum Yau pointed out that the company would fight for rest time for
her. Sometimes when work went overtime it would be for the good of the
show. If no one got to sleep she would not ask for rest.

electric eyes to ask the audience to watch his latest film EUROPE RAIDERS.
He even interpreted his classic lines from IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (FA YEUNG
