Louis Cheung Kai Chung has been busy filming a Lunar New Year film, but the production team recently tried to force its way into a beauty salon for production. Because he and Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin were working on site at the time, they inevitably were swept into the conflict. When Ah Chung recalled the incident yesterday, he remembered that the shoot went very quickly then he left. He felt that actors were passive. The film company involved issued a statement to clarify the accusations, as the incident shockingly turned into a he said she said situation.

Cheung Kai Chung admitted yesterday that he was present on the day of the incident, but he had no knowledge of it. He said in an interview, "Because it was the first day of work, I put all my energy into studying the script with the director with all my spirits. (The production was interrupted near the end?) I didn't know when I was filming. Ultimately we very quickly finished shooting and went to film elsewhere, so I didn't know that something was going on. Now a statement has been made and I won't talk about it more, I hope that both sides will get things done as soon as possible. Actors will be passive and concentrate on making a good movie."

The crew involved in the incident issued a statement on social networks two nights ago and another version. It tried to strongly proved that they only enter with the permission of the staff. The relative of the person in charge of the store were still talking happily with the crew outside the door at that time, then some store staff were found to be taking pictures of the production staff. When the crew stepped forward to signal to stop, the other party suddenly retorted that filming was never permitted. However the crew promised to delete the 3 shots filmed in the store. The person in charge of the beauty salon immediately countered with a thousand-character text, which mentioned, "Two actors suddenly entered the store to hang out, we opened our doors for business. We did not drive people out and locked the door, there were two big stars who walked into the store, and colleagues didn't know what to do."

On the other hand, Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa) recently appeared at the Shau Kei Wan Market to continue filming on location for the Lunar New Year film. She wore a loose polka dot shirt and carried an eco-friendly bag in a down to earth look, attracting a large number of passers-by. Ah Sa also recently celebrated the birthday of her father and her cat, and joked that she was celebrating the birthdays of a pair of "children". "Today is the birthday of my elder boy (referring to Sa's father) and my younger daughter, happy birthday, my elder boy wasn't be careful and fell this year, I was so scared......I wish that he will be healthy and safe in the future. I also wish my little girl good health, and continue to be able to eat and play well." Her good sister Gillian Chung Yun Tung also celebrated the birthday of Ah Sa's father on his birthday, and their relationship was super good.

The film company "Local Production" issued a statement the night before on the "trespassing" of the concept store of Mrs. Tsui Tin Yau's skin care brand, accusing Mrs. Tsui of using exaggerating words such as "doing it by force" and "actually no different from rape". Yesterday Mrs. Tsui countered the statement of "Local Production". The newspaper tried to invite Mrs. Tsui to be interviewed, but she politely declined and said that she "hopes that the incident will come to an end".

The wife of a former members of the boy group SHINE Tsui Tin Yau, Olive Wong opened a skincare brand concept store in Central's Kau U Fong. A few days ago (22nd) she suddenly posted on IG that a film company broke into the store for filming without approval, and bluntly denounced the act as "actually no different from rape". Then the two sides struck back each other on social networks and became "Rashomon". The reporter went to the main store in Central's Kau U Fong yesterday (24th) to get an understanding of the situation. The staff on duty responded politely to the reporter's questions, but revealed that Mrs. Tsui would not accept any interview.

After Mrs. Tsui filed a complaint against the film company a few days ago, "Local Productions Co., Ltd." issued a statement with the title of "that unilateral statements may not be the whole truth"; in addition to pointing out that "the main members of the film team have a good relationship with the person in charge of the store, prompting the creators to try to re-communicate with the store about the possibility of filming", and also mentioned that "the relative of the person in charge of the store appeared outside the door and had a very happy conversation with the main members of the film team, without any intention of stopping. That's why the walkie-talkie was put into the store for final preparations for filming". In the end the team got three shots, during which employees took photos. After they politely asked the employees to stop, they suddenly said that filming was not permitted. "All the upheavals caught us off guard." They believed that the crew and the staff had miscommunication. They also pointed out that Mrs. Tsui's words such as "do it by forced" and "actually no different from rape" were exaggerated, which shocked the team and even damage the company's reputation. The statement mentioned that when the shop issued the statement, they were still within 10 meters on the street shooting the film; yet they were said to have momentary departed after their shoot to avoid responsibility. They questioned why such strong objections were not raised immediately, but in an unilateral statement? The team in order to clarify the truth of the matter has attempted to begin communication in many ways, but as of the statement release they have yet to receive any response.

The statement finally stressed that the team had years of production experiment. They were certain that without the other party's consent, they would not go into production by force. However the team was willing to deeply apologize for any misunderstanding they might have caused and promised to remove the 3 shots of the shop.

Yesterday morning, Mrs. Tsui posted a long post to counter the statement of "Local Production", and responded point by point. She mentioned, "The husband of the person in charge has a studio that is located next to the Kau U Fong store. On the way back to the studio that day, the husband ran into a production outside the store. At the same time he politely exchanged a few words with the 'main members of the film team', and made it clear that everything would need to be discussed with the person in charge of the store." She also pointed out, "At the time of the consultation two weeks ago, the person in charge had a clear idea of who the 'main members' were. If it had been wishful thinking that personal relationships would have facilitated the matter, this incident would not have happened. Please do not involve personal relationships into this irresponsible business matter, as I am afraid someone would become a laughing stock."

The statement also mentioned that the clerk due to the inability to stop the production gave up to date information to the person in charge, captured and reported the situation in the shop. As for the "momentary departure" it referred to momentary departure from the shop. She reiterated, "The person in charge of the shop has never permitted filming. Irresponsible behaviors such as bullying of an employee who does not have a say and trespassing at the shop are truly shocking."

Mrs. Tsui continued to point out that it was originally just a "limited-time" story, but she did not expect it to cause an uproar. She also accepted the film company's promise to "delete the three shots at the store", but would reserve all rights to legal action; finally she said, "I apologize for the impact on the actors, my husbands, the employees and the staff, as well as the media reports that are not what our store and I want, I am very sorry. I also thank you for your concern. I hope that the incident has come to an end."

The press visited the Kau U Fong, Central location to learn about the incident. The store had three employees on duty. After the reporter arrived, identified himself, and asked if Mrs. Xu was present, the staff was very politely said that Mrs. Tsui was not there, and the staff who were present on the day of the shoot were also absent. The staff also said that Mrs. Tsui has already explained that she would not accept any interviews, and finally introduced the products and services in the store to the reporter in detail. When the reporter asked if he could take pictures of the store environment outside, the clerk politely permitted it. The reporter also asked the surrounding shops about the situation of the day, and the foreign employees of the restaurant next door expressed that they were also on the scene that day and saw the film being shot outside the store. However they did not receive the film company's request to shoot inside the shop. The newspaper also attempted to invite Mrs. Tsui to an interview through social media. Although Mrs. Tsui declined she also politely replied, "Hello, what I want to say has been explained in a statement. I hope the incident can come to an end, thank you."
