The event announced that 397 artists and film workers were invited to
join the Oscars' Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science and two
days ago the newly invited membership list. It included 3 Hong Kong
representatives: Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, film producer Hui Yuet Chun
and film distributor Tsui Foon.
Kwan Yu yesterday shared the excitement on IG. "OMG I got
into the Oscars......voting". In the video she said that she
received the email right before bed at night to congratulate her on
her invitation to become a voter. She could not believe it and even
kept screaming OMG as she read it, waking up her sleeping husband.
Kwan Yu even picked up the phone to show the email and said that she
immediately accepted it, making her officially a members of the
Oscars.
Chinese film workers who have been invited to become Oscars
members included Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, Ang Lee,
Donnie Yen Chi Tan, John Woo (Ng Yu Sum), Zhang Ziyi, Andy Lau Tak Wa,
Sylvia Chang and others. After being invited and accepted as a
member, they would have the right to vote for the Oscars.
The Kwan Yu produced and starred Hong Kong film ZERO TO HERO
(MAMA DIK SUN KEI SIU JI) represented Hong Kong in the competition for
the 94th Oscars "Best International Film" nomination. Although it was
unable to break into the top 15, it was already a recognition. Kwan
Yu with this film would compete for this year's Hong Kong Film Award
Best Actress.
Fish Head Won told their mother about Pai Piao's skipping school and got him a beating courtesy of mingpao.com
Jason Lau (Pai Piao) and his brother Lau Won (Fish Head
Won), To Yin Gor, Mary Han Ma Lei, Yeung Suk Mui and others yesterday
were guests on a Radio and Television program. Pai Piao hoped to
have a chance to work with his brother again, that a boss would invest
in a comedy as they were confident that they could make the audience
laugh to tears.
Pai Piao and Fish Head Won's action films were popular for a
time. Pai Piao admitted that now he would like to make comedy.
"Making so many years of action films, being on the wire, rolling on
the ground, getting hurt, busted open I have done them all. So I
want to try comedy, which is low cost and fun." Fish Head Won joked
that he would be responsible for getting girls and throwing away
money in the story. On the program the brothers talked about anything
and everything. Pai Piao joked that aside from foul language they
could talk about anything. He recalled their childhood. "When we
were little we were mischievous street kids. I constantly skipped
school to play on the soccer field, in the end my little brother told
Mama. Mama chased me down several streets with a cane." Pai Piao
already valued his relationship with siblings as a child. As long as
his siblings were picked on he would stand up and get justice. "Once
Fish Head Won found someone making an illegal antennae connection on
the roof and took a beating. After I found out I immediately brought
the gears, went looking for the person and busted him open." Yeung Yuk
Mui uncovered Pai Piao's tender side. When they worked on a series
earlier, she saw that around 2 or 3 AM he would go to a corner and
softly talk on the phone. Pai Piao clarified that he was only calling
his wife in Canada, in order to avoid affecting the shoot of course he
had to talk softly.
Even the famously professional Sing Sing was frowning from the heat
Instead of enjoying the air conditioning in the vehicle, Aaron Kwok remained under the fan cooled tent with the team after the shoot
Aaron Kwok and Chan Kwok Bong were in suits despite the heat
The Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Francis Ng Chun Yu, Simon Yam
Tat Wa starred Emperor Motion Picture NOI MOK (INSIDE INFORMATION) is
currently in production, but the team recently ran into many
difficulties. The earlier downpours made many last minute changes to
location shoots. Luckily the team including director Alan Mak Siu
Fai and producer Tin Kai Man was full of experience and able to resolve
any problem as it arose.
Two days ago, Sing Sing and Chan Kwok Bong in the sweltering
heat shot an investigation scene in Sheung Wan. Although it was a
dramatic scene, they wore heavy suits on the streets under the blazing
sun. They walked around like they were carrying "human ovens".
Although they were drenched, they were great actors as they got into
character as soon as cameras started rolling. Chan Kwok Bong frowned
on the street as the lawyer Sing Sing made a dominant appearance,
and conversed with me. When many neighbors saw Sing Sing they took
out their phones to take photos, but they were very orderly and did not
hinder the shoot.
This dramatic scene took a dozen or so minutes to complete.
Due to how hot and humid the das has been, after the shoot the first
thing Sing Sing did was to "remove his armor". He took off the suit
jacket. For the convenience of the team he remained on the set despite
the heat and watched playback with the director and the producer. He
did not return to the vehicle to enjoy the air conditioning as the
team remained united.
Sing Sing was resistant to heat as well as fighting.
Reportedly, he and Ng Chun Yu teamed up against the film's big boss.
In it they had their share of action scenes and gun fights. Earlier
in an ending scene he was injured on the wire, but still toughed out
the pain as he did not want to hinder the progress. In the film he
was also a taekwondo instructor. The team requested for him to kick
higher than his head, thus he would stretch whenever he had free time
in preparation. In addition, as the financial director and dangerous
figure Yam Tat Wa was also hurt from a 5 floor fall. Despite having a
double on hand, he still insisted on personally performing many
action scenes. Even with his injury he still persisted until the
final minute. He did not ask to stop the shoot.

Kevin Cheng and Dada Chan set the ground rules for their passionate bed scenes before hand
Dada Chan gets her wish to play a mental patient and challenge her acting
Rebecca Zhu says that she has a very open standard and looks forward to going even further courtesy of on.cc
Dada Chan, Kevin Cheng and Rebecca Zhu promote BURNING courtesy of mingpao.com
In the film BURNING (FUN SUN), Dada Chan Jing played a
piano teacher who interfered into doctor Kevin Cheng Ka Wing and his
wife Rebecca Zhu's marriage. Dada said, "This time I played an
obsessed woman. Finally I could play a mental patient. I was able to
jump out of the frame and play patient with post traumatic disorder,
fear of closed space and paranoia and fear. I actually love Ka Wing
to the point of madness, with a destructive tendency, which gave my
acting bug its fill!" However she joked that in real life she had
not love so "insanely", because she was very sensible with
relationships. She absolutely would not love to hurt others! Cheng
Ka wing said that he did not have any way to contact Zhu Chenli and
Chan Jing because he had no need at all.
Has Ka Wing ran into the other half who was this obsessed with
him? Ka Wing said, "I really don't want to, this is men's worst
nightmare. I don't want it to happen. For a married man with a
family and wife and children he really loved, I absolutely wouldn't
want this to happen." He pointed out that in the film he did not know
whether they had a relationship, because the character got drunk and
blacked out. He could not remember it, only that he was in trouble.
In real life would this happen? Ka Wing said, "No, when a man blacked
out maybe something would happen. 30% consciousness while you were
drunk. Since I was unconscious. I would definitely know if I was
2/3 drunk. Since I was unconscious what would happen. It's impossible
for me, so it's a con. In the story it probably didn't happen either!"
Was the opposite sex off limits to him after marriage? Ka
Wing admitted that he had no phone or email contact with Dada and Zhu
Lichen. "If necessary I would avoid any misunderstanding, if anything
happens we would communicate at work!" What if the other person ask
for his number? He felt that this would not be necessary. If they
wanted it then something else would happen. Even with being friends
he had neither the time nor the interest. "Now my life is all work,
sports, remote controlled car racing. The rest of the time I would
be with my wife and two sons. So when you ask for my number, if it's
work the call would go to my manager. For private use it's
unnecessary!" In that phone would he remove all female friends' phone
number? Ka Wing said, "Then you wouldn't need to, if you don't want
to listen put it on mute until it would stop!" Was his wife Grace Chan
Hoi Lam very at ease? Ka Wing joked, "I hope, but I wouldn't tell her
to relax. It's my everyday performance, but everyday I am at home.
What else would I do?"
In BURNING Ka Wing and Dada had no bed scene, but a passionate
struggle near the piano and barricade. Ka Wing said that Grace did not
come to supervise, but he gave her advanced warning on which passion
scenes would be shot. "Although I don't need to talk in discussion,
I still have to tell her. If not I would probably be dead!" Speaking
of intimate scene, Ka Wing admitted that it was more awkward for me
than Dada. "Actors would always be more awkward than actresses, they
also want any misunderstanding the least. Because girls wouldn't be
thought of as the problem, but if actors have to have some violent
behavior, it would lead to many problems. Thus during the shoot we
had to be clear. The script only briefly described in text and not
specifically say the standard of physical contact. I kept thinking
about the visual and the level of standard. In order to achieve good
result, after communicating with Dada we began the shoot."
Dada said that while working on the intimate scenes Ka Wing
was just as serious. He would pay attention to the result visually,
so she was very grateful to him. "Actually for this type of scenes
not just the girl would be scared, the fear is even to both male and
female. So we properly communicate where we couldn't touch. We would
try to avoid them. During the performance we would try to coordinate
with the character!" Ka wing praised Dada for her professionalism.
"She is an actor with a lot of sense. She is sentimental. Without
regard for skill she would have unexpected result!" Dada praised Ka
Wing and said that she learned a lot from him, because he was able to
keep his eyes all over. He was very precise with his intricate
expression. Ka Wing humbly said, "I am an 'old hand'! My age really
is greater than hers by a lot!"
In the film Rebecca Zhu played a kind wife and mother but
lured a wolf in. She felt that the reason was she wanted to test
whether her husband would cheat. In real life she never wanted to test
her boyfriend, mainly because when she dated she would trust the
other person 100%. She also felt that her boyfriend's score was
earned. Luckily she has not run into any scum. Dada also said that
when she was young she was naive. Maybe she would feel her ex
boyfriend was scum, but now she would look forward to the future more
than looking back at past experience. Chu Chu admitted that she really
wanted to play Dada's character this time. She also wanted to play
some mentally challenged or characters with mental disorder. In the
past she was limited by television standards. She hoped to be able to
make the challenge in film. "My standard is very wide, but no one has
dared to test where my standard is and discover the dramatic effect
that is impossible to happen with Zhu Chenli!"
Ian Gouw and Aaron Kwok play son and father in AFTER THIS, OUR EXILE courtesy of mingpao.com
Director Sammo Hung Kam Bo, Ann Hui On Wa, Patrick Tam
Ka Ming, Ringo Lam Lan Tung and Tsui Hark teamed up, each picked an
era and directed a story about Hong Kong for the film SEPTET (CHUT YUN
LOK DUI). The Tam Ka Ming directed segment TENDER IS THE NIGHT (BIT
YEH) took place at the end of the 80s, in the midst of an immigration
wave. A secondary school first love couple were forced to part
because her parents decided to emigrate and his decided to stay in
Hong Kong.
Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Ian Gouw (Ng King To) played this
young couple that was being broken up. King To and Director Tam
reunited 14 years after AFTER THIS, OUR EXILE (FU JI). Back then at
the age of 9 Ian swept the Golden Horse Award Best Supporting Actor,
the Hong Kong Film Award Best Supporting Actor and Best New Performer.
This time Director Tam tested the 2 actors' emotional
performance. They both had to express the immaturity of a puppy love
couple but also the passion on the eve of parting and reluctance to
part. They did not lack intimate performance. Aside from Jennifer
wearing only underwear on a roof scene, she and Ian also made out in
bed. They even went topless for their last night scene.

Stephen Chow talks about Hong Kong film's future development and opportunities courtesy of mingpao.com
Celebrating his 60th birthday earlier, Stephen Chow
Sing Chi earlier spoke with CCTV reporter Zhu Dan. Sing Yeh talked
about his childhood dream. He admitted that because he liked to watch
movies, he wanted to become an actor since he was little. Later the
movies that he made had a variety of subjects. When asked why his
movies had so many Chinese elements, Sing Yeh said, "Because I knew
them, I feel this actually is Chinese film's greatest advantage.
Actually Chinese history and culture are both very rich, it has too
many exciting stories, so we certainly would tell Chinese stories
well."
Sing Yeh also said that with the 25th anniversary of the
hand over, Hong Kong kept changing because it kept having many
opportunities and new ideas. However some still remained unchanged.
Hong Kong still was an international financial and cultural center.
He said, "For me, I am always Chinese. So Hong Kong and the
Mainland actually are culturally identical, share the same blood. We
would always celebrate July 1st."
Sing Yeh recalled that a Mainland director told him, his movies
inspired him. He pointed out that his creativity also was inspired by
Mainland films. Thus Hong Kong and Mainland filmmakers' relationship
has always been mutually supporting and learning from each other. He
even expressed, "Hong Kong's young people should utilize the Guangdong
Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area's advantage to carry Chinese stories
forward. They would be able to enjoy an enormous market as well as
motivate the Greater Bay Area's development. I wish Hong Kong's
future, under the support of the nation, would continue to maintain
the energy of innovation. We would work hard together to create the
future."
Will Or Wai Lam and Isabel Chan Hoi Ning yesterday
attended a promotional event. The Hong Kong Film Award would take
place in the middle of next month. Or Wai Lam received a Best
Supporting Actor and a Best New Performer nomination. Which
opponent did he feel was the favorite? He said that he has found
the reasons for every opponent's and his own victory. When Chan Hoi
Ning, who has known him for 8 years, was asked who she would support,
she awkwardly said, "I really can't chose the New Performer award,
because they all are good friends I have known for many years. So I
am not answering this question. For Best Actor I personally support
Leung Chung Hang. Because a new comer was able to receive this
nomination, I am really happy for him." Or Wai Lam just shot a
short film with Chan Hoi Ning as a director. Has he planned to direct
a feature film? He said that he did not have the guts to think about
it.
In addition, the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards' major categories
Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best
Supporting Actress and Best New Performer nominees worked on a
photo shoot for the program, the photos from which recently have also
been unveiled.

Emperor Motion Pictures TRIAD 3 (JAT JIK 3) recently
held its production start ceremony. Emperor Group chief Dr. Albert
Yeung Sau Sing personally hosted the event. Producer Ng Kin Hung,
Jason Siu Kim Chau and director Ng Ka Wai, leads Bosco Wong Chung Chak,
Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Niki Chow Lai Kei, Mark
Cheng Ho Nam, Michael Tao Dai Yu and others appeared in support.
TRIAD 2 (JAT JIK 2) has not opened yet, but the original
team created TRIAD 3 was already starting production. The three leads
Wong Chung Chak, Chan Ka Lok and Cheung Kai Chung were rather excited.
Bosco revealed, "Last time my character was much more powerful,
although this time i was still the eldest one of the three, I told
the director, he had to give me some flaw so the audience would get a
different feeling. Thus the director came up with some pretty funny
faults for me!" Ka Lok also said that the characters were very
different between the two films. "Last time I was the important
figure who made the brothers turn on each other. This time the three
are more united, because we have a common enemy we have to take care
of!"
After a long time away from the big screen, Tao Dai Yu and
Cheng Ho Nam this time joined the new film and played a pair of mob
brothers. Dai Yu said, "We are like brothers but we also compete in
the open and in secret. The characterizations have dimensions and
they don't just fight and kiss. They would be very exciting!"
Brother Mark said that this type of film represented a unique part of
Hong Kong, then he very gladly took the role. "I am very happy,
whenever I have roast pork it means a production start worship
ceremony. Other places would make this type of arrangement. At my
own home the feeling is extra different! Over the years, when I work
in Hong Kong I also love roast pork and goose rice. Whenever I have it
it means I have a job!" Dai Yu humbly said that he was a rare guest
in the film industry. "I just chatted with Mark Gor just now during
the ceremony. The last time we worked together was already over 30
years (1991). At the time I was still working on television. Time
really passed by very fast!" Brother Mark once released a record. Dai
Yu also recently with INVERT EARTH became "Music New Discovery". Would
they be interested in singing the theme song for the new film? Dai Yu
interrupted and answered, "Save this one for Brother Mark, don't mess
with me!" Brother Mark heard and joked that his lips were sealed.
"I would zip up my lips!" Dai Yu added, "When I was at the artist
training class, I studied magic, Chinese dance, sing a little. I
just wanted to try anything, the most important for everyone to be
happy!" Brother Mark gave Dai Yu the thumbs up. "Multi-talented!"
Ling Man Lung and MC Cheung work on location in Mongkok courtesy of singtao.com
MC Cheung Tin Fu and Ling Man Lung earlier worked on the Lau Yung directed film ONE NIGHT IN SCHOOL (YEH HAU)'s shoot.
The two worked from noon to 2 AM, switching locations from a
countryside school and funeral hall to the busy streets of Mongkok and
shooting on the Portland Street. MC appeared in a short sleeved
shirt, which was very appropriate for his poor but street smart kid
design. Although the film has been in production for awhile, MC was
very anxious about his first film shoot. Before taking his mark he
continued to study the script and practiced his lines, he even made
funny expressions like rolling his eyes. However as soon as he heard
the director yelled action he got into character and held his own
opposite the experienced Siu Lung. The director very quickly accepted
the take.
The two shot from the streets into a restaurant. MC and Siu
Lung seemingly have already cultivated a connection, often chatting
and laughing. Although that night the shoot went to 2AM, many MC
fans were drawn to the shoot and continued to look on. After the
shoot, MC changed and prepared to return home to rest but he still
repaid his fans for their support. He signed autographs on the set
and responded to every request.
Kimbee Chan Hoi Wan as the Joseph Lau Charity
Foundation trustee director attended the film SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE (YUT
LO TUNG HUNG) advanced charity screening and enjoyed the film with
Ebenezer School and Home for the for the Visually Impaired employees
and students. Later they even posed for a group photo. SUNSHINE OF MY
LIFE was based on a real story and starred Karena Ng Chin Yu, Kara Wai
Ying Hung, Hugo Goh (Ng Toi Yung) and others. Kimbee revealed that
the story affected her. "Everyone was moved to tears by many parts of
the film! The advanced screening aside from the support of the
Ebenezer School headmaster Dr. Yuk Tak Fun also had the film's director
and screenwriter Ms. (Judy) Chu Fung Han sharing the story behind the film
with the audience after the screening. I hope everyone after watching
the film would be able to understand the conditions of the visually
impaired people even more, care about them more and extend a helping
hand to them!"
DaDa Chan praises Rebecca Zhu for her professionalism
In the film DaDa Chan tries to strangle Rebecca Zhu courtesy of on.cc
Stars DaDa Chan Jing and Rebecca Zhu earlier shot the
film BURNING (FUN SUN). For their first collaboration they already
had a series of fight scenes. In the film DaDa slammed the piano
cover on Chu Chu's fingers. Because she was worried for her co-star's
safety, DaDa before the shoot insisted on trying it once on herself.
"Chu Chu was very professional. She kept saying no problem, don't
worry. I already admire her." Chu Chu said that she has worked on
action films before, so she would be more daring. "In one scene DaDa
was strangling me. She was afraid that she would squeeze too hard and
crush my throat, so often she held back. I told her not to, I needed
that feeling."
Artists Eddie Cheung Siu Fai, Hubert Wu Hung Kwan and
Stephanie Che Yuen Yuen participated in a segment in the film LOOK UP
(YUT YEUNG DIK TIN HUNG), the final scene of which had to be shot at
sea. That day was cold and windy, but in coordination of the story
they had to wear flimsy costumes. Afterward Cheung Siu Fai admitted
that during thes hoot he already got sick, but to avoid hindering the
progress he did not show it. Afer work he went home to take a hot
shower.

Michael Tao Dai Yu yesterday attended an event.
Recently he has been guest starring in the film TRIAD 3 with Bosco Wong
Chung Chak, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Mark Cheng Ho Nam and others. He
and Cheng Ho Nam were like brothers but had to fight for the big
boss spot. He would have a lot of action scenes and even tough through
several all night shoots. "I haven't made a movie in a very
long time. The film had fight scenes. The shoot encountered rain
and heat, but I still had to work with a mask on. The worst was
working at night, we worked all night for several nights. I needed
two days of rest to recover afterward." Has he planned to return to
work in the Mainland? He revealed that he would not have any plan
until after July. He admitted, "Aside from work, I also have to be
mentally prepared to return to the Mainland. The 21 day quarantine is
very hard to take? (How did you get over them before?) Exercise,
binging series and give myself some time to digest."

two nights ago dressed up for a label opening party. Maggie Cheung
Man Yuk made a surprise appearance as the special guest. Ting Fung
kept his sunglasses on, actually he had an over an inch long scar
on the corner of his right eye.
Kwok Fu Sing two nights ago after attending the event would
still have to return to the set and work on the night shoot for his
film NOI MOK (INSIDE INFORMATION).
Ting Fung has not attended at a label event in Hong Kong for
a long time. With a scar on the corner of his right eye, Ting Fung
said that about three weeks ago he shot an action scene for his film
CUSTOMS FRONTLINE (HOI GUAN JIN SIN). He had to jump from over 10
meters above and land on the padding below. However on a test jump
he forgot to take off his glasses. "When I fell the glasses injured
the corner of my eye. In the end it's my carelessness. Luckily
nothing happened during the official shot!" With the scar remaining,
he said that he would ask the doctor how to remove it. He believed
that it would leave a mark. Would a man mind about leaving a scar?
Ting Fung said, "This is how it is for action actors, but I don't want
to affect future jobs!" He also said that his mother Deborah Li also
knew about his injury. However injuries were inevitable while making
action films. This time he underestimated the situation and he
promised to be more careful from now on.
Ting Fung earlier worked on CUSTOMS on the busy city streets
topless, showing off his six pack "chocolate". Last night under a
shirt his chest remained swollen. Ting Fung immediately sucked in his
chest and joked that the shirt was tight. "Earlier we fought a lot
for the ending, naturally it was trained. I haven't measured how
many inches my chest is, but in the 20s I have been bigger. However
this time after a week, the six pack abdominal muscles have already
vanished. It's actually too hard. I love to eat, ultimately it's 30%
training, 70% eating!"
Ting Fung said that in July he would fly to Beijing to prepare
for his next film. Was he returning so quickly because he missed
people and events in Beijing? (Faye Wong). He said, "Work
arranged for me to go to different places, it just keeps changing so I
don't know yet!" As for his father, Patrick Tse Yin with TIME (SAT
CHOOK GOR WONG) won many Best Actress awards. Was he even more
amazing? Ting Fung had nothing but praise. "That's right, very
amazing!" Has he celebrated with Sei Gor? He said, "It's just that,
I didn't even spend Father's Day with him, but with our family
everyday is a holiday!" Did his sons give him any present for
Father's Day? He said no comment.
