[2025.04.16] FALA CHEN ADMIRES NICK CHEUNG'S PRECISE PRODUCTION SHOOT

Fala Chen was the lead actress in the Nick Cheung Ka Fai directed and starred PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG). In order to participate in this movie, Fala has been commuting between Hong Kong and the United States for more than two months. She even returned to Hong Kong for 3 days and 2 nights to promote the film. In an interview, Fala talked about her first collaboration with Ka Fai.

Participating in a film directed by Ka Fai for the first time, did she have any pressure? Fala laughed, "I know that I give him a little more pressure, because it was the first time we worked together. Ka Fai knows his script very well and how to shoot and act, so he would take me with him at work." She also praised Ka Fai for being very precise. Even where to put the pair of scissors was well calculated. She didn't have to think too much and could focus on acting with confidence.

In the film Fala Chen played Cheung Ka Fai's wife. The two fell into a catastrophe due to a serious failure in an investment, and Fala thus became even more insane. Fala revealed that Ka Fai asked her to lose weight, probably because she played a character who has been in a state of madness for a long time and became depressed. Unfortunately she went to France with her family at Christmas, and the food was currently quite tempting. Fala revealed hat during a photo shoot she could only use a "dirty trick" to slim down her face. She joked, "Ka Fai claims to have lost a lot of pounds. I lost 10 pounds, but I didn't look it. On camera in particular I might not look very thin. During the photo shoot I used a 'dirty trick'. I bit my cheeks so I would look thinner, but during the shoot while delivering dialogues that wouldn't work."

Fala once collaborated with Terrance Lau Chun Him on the stage play SKYLIGHT. Working together again after nearly 9 years, they unfortunately only had one scene together. Fala admitted that she was disappointed, and praised him. When he did the stage play back then he had just graduated. Now he could be the leading actor on his own, which was very powerful. She hoped that they will be more opportunities to "play" with each other in the future.

Angela Yuen Lai Lam surprisingly revealed that she has been admitted to the hospital! She revealed on social networks that she suddenly had a high fever of 41.9 degrees (Celsius) a few days ago, and was rushed to the hospital by her manager in the early morning! She posted an explanation of her illness and apologized for affecting her work. "I am very sorry for missing the opening ceremony of this year's HKIFF (Hong Kong International Film Festival). Although I was forced to stop by doctors and manager, I was not angry and rebellious. I also really wanted to talk to one powerful filmmaker after another, but the matter developed to the point that the high fever persisted. Helplessness began to occupy my brain, so that I gradually no longer had any spare time for work/play/leisure. I also realized the truth of 'without a healthy body, everything is lost'." She has been discharged from the hospital and was grateful for everyone's concern.

Tin Kai Man attended the signing ceremony of "Sunbeam Whampoa" yesterday. Speaking of Stephen Chow (Sing Yeh) starting production on the movie SHAOLIN WOMEN'S SOCCER (or WOMEN'S SOCCER) in Shenzhen, Tin Kai Man revealed that it has been filming for about a month. When the production first started, Sing Yeh due to focus issues felt overcautious, but now it has already gotten on track. Which actors would be involved in the film? Tin Kai Man revealed Dilraba Dilmurat, and from Hong Kong Sisley Choi Si Bui who recommended herself. Has Sing Yeh asked him to perform? Tin Kai Man confessed, "I don't know if he would ask (me), he has only asked me to help him find phone numbers. We are so close we don't talk about that. If he wants to he would. (Would you recommend yourself?) The movie is about women, if he thinks I can be useful, he will naturally ask."

Tin Kai Man said frankly that he was looking forward to working with Sing Yeh again, and said that he has told Sing Yeh that many people have been waiting for his performance. "I said that he would reappear on the screen at the age of 65, and he asked me why. I said that you will make a movie once every three years. Now you are 62 years old, after filming "WOMEN'S SOCCER" you will come out and return after three years so the timing would be right." He also pointed out that Sing Yeh wanted to film very much, but he did not want to do what the audience expected before. Instead playing a new Chow Sing Chi would present no pressure.

In addition, director Wong Jing recently issued an article criticizing Keung To. Tin Kai Man bluntly said that Wong Jing's remarks were a little cruel to Keung To, thinking that any young person should be encouraged. He also joked that he did not know if Wong Jing was encouraging Keung To in a roundabout way. "I don't know if Brother Jing is using a kind of extreme thinking to encourage a rising star?" Regarding Wong Jing's remarks being criticized, did Tin Kai Man believe that Wong Jing was ungraceful as an elder? He felt that to each its own, "Of course it wasn't ideal. With Brother Jing's status he used those terms, there definitely would be more noise. However let's wait for Brother Jing himself to explain and respond."

[2025.04.15] NATALIE HSU HAS PLENTY TO SAY ABOUT WHAT SHE LOOKS FOR IN A MATE

Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi) recently spoke with HOY TV, talking about being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress with the movie LAST SONG FOR YOU (GAU BIT CHUNG FUNG). She considered herself lucky to have encountered good scripts and good teams in just 3 years in the industry. Collaborated with Dior Cheng Yi Kin and MIRROR member Ian, she said "Brother Ekin is an extrovert and talks a lot, but Ian is so introverted. In the first few days I was scared, because I didn't know him well enough in reality. The audience would feel that, so I tried so hard to talk to him. I want to thank him for not minding me for being annoying."

When talking about the conditions for choosing a mate, Hui Yan Yi made a lot of demands. "To make me want to become a better version of myself, to inspire me, not to be too critical, but to have his own way, to be leisurely, but to be sensitive enough; there is more, I am only a quarter of a way through! (Are you considered highly demanding?) Yes, my parents often try to persuade me to lower my requirements and go out to play! (What about appearances?) He doesn't need to be pretty, but he needs to be decent. Take a shower every day to avoid smells. He doesn't have to be tall, because I'm short too."

[2025.04.15] CATHERINE CHAU LAYERS UP TO BRAVE THE COLD FOR THE LAST DANCE

The Emperor Motion Picture THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) has been a critical and commercial success; not only did it sweep up multiple film awards but in terms of box office, last weekend it surpassed the 2018 release of AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR to officially became the third highest-grossing film in Hong Kong history. The extended version entered its second week in release and its box office has been rising to become the Chinese language film with the most people admitted this past weekend.

In the extended version, Chau Ka Yee pondered the question of her boyfriend's original family on the beach. This scene seemed to be sunny on the screen, but actually the day of the shoot was the coldest few days of the year at that time. Ka Yee said, "The temperature was only 9 degrees (Celsius), so I had multiple layers on to keep warm. Fortunately the weather was beautiful. Although the temperature was low but the sun was shining, which shaped up to be very suitable for the production effect; it was simply a perfect day."

Taking more than three years to produce, the documentary film NEVER TOO LATE (JO LIU) was selected for the "Documentary Screening" section of the 49th Hong Kong International Film Festival and had its world premiere the night before. The Premiere Ceremony was officiated by the Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Diane Wong Shuk Han, Vice President of Business Development and Director of the Group Office of Phoenix Satellite TV Zhang Tong, and the Chief Executive Officer of WWF-Hong Kong, Nicole Wong, while other guests included Director Rikki Choy Shui Kei, Executive Producer Miney Ye Yang, and renowned lyricists Keith Chan Siu Kei and Gigi Leung Wing Kei.

Gigi Leung sang the theme song for the movie NEVER TOO LATE, and this time the song was written by Chan Siu Kei, with lyrics in Cantonese, Putonghua and English. She felt like she was singing a love song, because it talked about the healing power of nature; just like a person to a parent or lover, a hug when he is down would be very therapeutic. Gigi loved nature herself and said that she went to Lantau Island alone to meditate in 2023. She felt that it was spiritual growth, which made her own view of family also grow. Gigi also planned to take her daughter to the theater to watch this movie and see the beautiful and calm nature.

In addition, speaking of Takeshi Kaneshiro's recent comeback to shoot commercials, people were reminded of the "golden couple" when Gigi and Takeshi Kaneshiro first debuted. Would Gigi like to work with her again? She said that many people were looking forward to working with him, but she has not contacted him privately. She learned from the news that he has also been well maintained and has a new movie release soon. Would Gigi care about another co-star, Louis Koo Tin Lok, who has a retinal perforation and severe eye floater syndrome? She said, "I didn't pay attention, then he should rest more, or go to nature to take a walk and absorb the aura of heaven and earth!"

[2025.04.14] MICHELLE WAI HAS A HOTEL SCARE

The Hong Kong Film Awards will be held soon. The Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress favorite who just returned from accepting an award in the United States a few days ago, Michelle Wai Sze Nga surprisingly revealed that someone tried to open the door to her room in the middle of the night during her trip to the United States. Luckily it was just a scare. Wai Sze Nga said that her husband has volunteered to walk the Hong Kong Film Awards red carpet with her.

Wai Sze Nga has had twice the good news. After winning the "Extraordinary Actor Award" in the United States a few days ago, Wai Sze Nga's film THE LAST TIME has become one of the top three in Hong Kong film box office history. Yesterday Wai Sze Nga attended Orbis's "Walk for Sight" charity walk and shared her experience in eye care. She admitted that her vision had been blurred recently. At first she thought it was "presbyopia", but after borrowing her mother's glasses she found that was not the case. She had made an appointment with an ophthalmologist for a detailed examination.

Having won 7 awards for the movie THE LAST DANCE, Wai Sze Nga did not dare to ask for credit herself and modestly said that it was all the credit of the team. During her trip to the United States, she saw audiences from different walks of life. However, the trip to the United States also had a frightening moment. Wai Sze Nga revealed, "When I was preparing to rest in the middle of the night, I found that someone suddenly opened the door. Fortunately I had a security lock, the door could not be opened directly. I immediately called a colleague in the next room for help, and the hotel also advised me to call the police; but I didn't want to go to the middle of the night to file a police report, maybe another guest tried to open the wrong door."

Referring to THE LAST DANCE becoming the only Hong Kong film to enter the top three in Hong Kong film box office history, Wai Sze Nga said, "I only found out a few days ago, I am so happy. I hope everyone will continue to support it." Speaking of Wai Sze Nga's prospect of winning the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor at the end of the month, she said that she would face it with a relaxed mood of going to the party. She said with a smile, "On the contrary, my husband asked me if I was nervous, and said that he could walk the red carpet with me. He knew the rules better than me." As for the choice of what to wear, she believed that it would be similar to the look in the Hong Kong Film Awards program.

[2025.04.14] HEDWIG TAM JOKES ABOUT BEING THE HONG KONG FILM AWARDS BEST ACTRESS "GRAY HORSE"

A few days ago (10th) the 49th Hong Kong International Film Festival opened at the Hong Kong Cultural Center, the movie MONTAGES OF A MODERN MOTHERHOOD (FU DUK BUT) premiered at the film festival the night before, actors Hedwig Tam Sin Yin, Lo Chun Yip, Fung So Bo, Annie Man Chung Han and director Oliver Chan Siu Guen attended together. Considered the "Best Actress" dark horse at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, Tam Sin Yin joked that she was the "gray horse".

The film MONTAGES OF A MODERN MOTHERHOOD is also in contention for several awards at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, and has previously been screened at festivals in Tokyo, Busan and Taiwan. During an interview, Tam Sin Yin and Lo Chun Yip said that the film has always been shared in the industry. This is the first premiere for the Hong Kong public, so they are very much looking forward to the audience's response.

Tam Sin Yin said, "At first I was worried about the reaction of the male audience, but I didn't expect that many married men reflected on their attitude towards their wives after watching it. Children felt guilty about their mothers, and female audiences sympathized and got teary eyed." As the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress "dark horse", she laughed and pointed out that she was dressed like a "gray horse" but the preparation of the "battle suit" gave her a headache. She only thought about holding the baby doll on the red carpet with the film's lead actor Lo Chun Yip.

Lo Chun Yip was also nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" for the film, so he was also scheduled to walk the red carpet with his co-star Tam Sin Yin. As for his girlfriend Fish Liew Chi Yu, she would also attend the Hong Kong Film Awards but he did not ask who she would walk the red carpet with. They each had different tasks, and it would be very interesting to participate in it together. Tam Sin Yin and Lo Chun Yip were actually the most nervous about the audience reactions, because the subject of this movie was more serious. The film has been scheduled to be released only a few days before the Hong Kong Film Awards, so she hoped that being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards will help increase the box office of the movie.

[2025.04.13] IRENE WAN POINTS OUT THAT NEW BLODD IS NEEDED TO BOOST THE FILM INDUSTRY

Irene Wan Bik Ha yesterday appeared on Nancy Sit Ka Yin's Metro Radio program and promoted the film she invested in and starred in, ONCE UPON A LIE (FONG DOH MEI YUN YU); which will open on Easter.

Irene said that she was very nervous with the upcoming release, so she went to Bali for a few days off to relax. She pointed out that ONCE UP A LIE invited the master Peter Kam Pui Tat to score the film, and had the black humor of producer Edmond Pang Ho Cheung. In the film she developed a older woman-younger man relationship with lead actor Bruce He Hao Chen, who also had a mother-son relationship with the Golden Horse Best Actress Grace Guei Ah Lei. She hoped that the audience would like it. In the film she and He Hao Chen started with "online dating", Irene said that in the past many fans showed their love to her and even asked for a date, but of course she did not dare to accept it. At most she would only give a heart gesture in return. "I want to really get along. Even if he is pretty handsome, he still have to have something inside to be able to communicate!" As for the older woman, younger man love in the movie, Irene pointed out that it was also very realistic. Many boys in Hong Kong also like more mature girls. She hoped that the audience after watching the film would dare to love. "In fact, age is just a number, (Nicholas) Tse Ting Fung and Faye Wong are the best example. Love who you love, no one should mind the age different. True love is the most valuable. True love has no age limit, and this film is about this."

Speaking of the recent poor movie market, would she be worried about the box office of the new film? Irene said, "This way we need to support Hong Kong films even more. We need to use new people in front of and behind the scenes. I used a new director in my films. He is a well-known advertising director, so the pictures this time came out beautifully."

In addition, when TVB CEO Xu Tao summoned nearly 100 artists to return to the company for a meeting to listen to opinions, Lo Chun Shun directly pointed out to Xu Tao that in recent years his income has been greatly reduced due to the reduction of shows from time to time. Sister Ka Yin said that that probably happened, but she was not too clear about the truth. "Lo Chun Shun is a good actor, and he has done a good job in many roles. However recently the company has made less dramas, co-produced dramas have to calculate the production budget, and it costs a lot of money to return to the mainland to shoot. The production and the investment must be considered. Many actors have a little harder time during this period. Not only TV dramas, but also less Hong Kong movies have be made. It is a market problem, in fact, if the company has a suitable role it would probably use him." Sister Ka Yin pointed out that recently her Mother Hong Kong Arts Center has been hiring instructor to teach students to act, and she has asked Lo Chun Shun to be one for him to share his acting experience. Students would be able to learn on the journey of performing and receive good development.

Famous Shaw Brothers era actor Ku Feng (Kok Fung) passed away at home a few days ago at the age of 94. Sister Ka Yin once collaborated with Ku Feng in the drama VIRTUES OF HARMONY. She recalled, "I have watched a lot of Uncle Kok Fung's films. Everyone would think that he was mean and serious, but after working together I learned that he was so funny. He often shared his filming experience, the whole group would laugh until their bellies hurt. Actually he was quite a talker and amiable, and his action could not be better. He was able to get into character right away, so working with him was very pleasant." However, Sister Ka Yin pointed out that Ku Feng was over 90 years old after all. "I am still reluctant, my condolences to his family. I also want to tell Uncle Kok Fung that he made so many movies and TV works, we will always miss his artistic contributions. May he have a safe journey!"

The Nick Cheung Ka Fai written, directed and starred film PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) headed toward HK$ 9 million at the box office after two weeks in release in Hong Kong. The day before yesterday, he and Terrance Lau Chun Him went to Taiwan to promote, and were surprised by Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and Eddie Peng Yu-Yan. Cheung Hok Yau sent flowers and recorded congratulations, and Peng Yu-Yan prepared bubble tea, pineapple cakes and other delicacies for them. Cheung Ka Fai has been promoting the movie all over in recent months. A few days ago, a video of him giving a lecture to a fan was circulated on the Internet. He received online praises for his patience to explain to the fan, saying that he should not take extreme behaviors if he could not get autographs and photos.

Cheung Ka Fai and Lau Chun Him played Choi Sun Keung and Dr. Man respectively in PEG O' MY HEART, which became the favorite characters of many online. After promoting the movie HELIOS in Taiwan 10 years ago, Cheung Ka Fai felt intimate when he set foot in this familiar place again. The most surprising thing was the support of his "older brother" Cheung Hok Yau and his disciple Peng Yu-Yan; Hok Yau was holding a concert in Taipei, and learned that "younger brother" Cheung Ka Fai came to Taiwan to promote. He also specifically recorded congratulations even when he could not appear, joked that he was afraid that this "younger brother's" Mandarin was not good enough, and asked the on-site master of ceremonies to help translate. He left Cheung Ka Fai not knowing whether to cry and laugh. Hok Yau even described the tension of the "Younger Brother's" work as Hitchcockian and congratulated Cheung Ka Fai on the success of the film, which flattered Cheung Ka Fai.

The disciple Eddie Peng Yu-Yan knew that the Master had a tight schedule and did not have time to taste Taiwanese food, so he thoughtfully sent bubble tea and pineapple cakes. Cheung Ka Fai took the opportunity to make fun of Peng Yu-Yan, who was recently photographed traveling with a female companion. "Congratulations to him, some photos on the Internet prove that he is not gay. It turns out that he also has a girlfriend, and I am happy for him". The event designed two pillows in the shape of Choi Sun Keung and Dr. Man for them, and Cheung Ka Fai and Lau Chun Him had fun at the expense of each other.

In an interview Cheung Ka Fai said that he has contacted Jacky Cheung Hok Yau, "I said that I was coming to Taiwan but I couldn't watch your concert, and he said that he also wanted to come and watch the film. I said don't you come here; with too many people you may catch the flu, then I would be in big trouble. With so many people who have bought concert tickets, I can't afford it." He revealed that Cheung Hok Yau insisted on asking about the time and place of the premiere, so he guessed that he was the one who sent the flowers. Cheung Ka Fai said that the movie was about dreams, and he liked to dream very much. He often dreamed of happy things. Would he accidentally hit his wife Esther Kwan Wing Ho while dreaming? He laughed and said, "She hit me once, I don't know if she was intentional or pretending to be asleep. I thought about it for a while, but I still believe that she didn't mean to." Lau Chun Him bared his back in the film. He did not deliberately get into shape before filming, because he thought it was a natural thing. However the camera was fixed on his rear during the shoot. Cheung Ka Fai rushed forward to cover up the screen as soon as he saw it, so as not to let even more people see it. He said, "He is so good, if I don't stand up when something happens to him, I won't be righteous enough!" Speaking of Louis Koo Tin Lok's right eye retina issue, Cheung Ka Fai said that the medical science is advanced, it might be a small problem. No one would need to worry too much.

In addition, a video of Cheung Ka Fai admonishing fans earlier went viral. In the clip he was seen getting into the car and leaving after completing the publicity. Fans approached and asked for autographs and photos, when they were unsuccessful they conducted extreme behaviors. Seeing this, Cheung Ka Fai patiently explained to the fans. He said that he was grateful for the support, but sometimes the situation would not permit him to sign autographs and take photos. No one should conduct any extreme behavior. He said, "If people say they can do what you want, then you go crazy. We can't act like this! When we work in society, we would encounter something that doesn't go our way everyday. This way doesn't work, do you understand?" He asked the fan to understand before agreeing to sign an autograph; the fan finally said, "Thank you". The video of "teaching fans" has received positive responses online, praising him for his patience in reasoning with fans.

[2025.04.13] ANITA YUEN STRIVES FOR PERFECTION IN FILMING HER CRYING SCENE

The Anita Yuen Wing Yee (Lan Lan) and a group of Malaysian actors Miko Wong Jie Kee, Juztin Lan (Lau Gai Fai), Chan Fong, Chris Tong Bingyu starred warm family movie OMG! MOM'S BIG NEWS (OMG! AH MA YAU HEI) has been scheduled to be released in Hong Kong on May 15th. The film tells the story of a couple who is about to retire. When they are about to enjoy the second half of their lives, the wife suddenly unexpectedly becomes pregnant; not only disrupting the plan for the "second half" but the whole family also has to think about how to face sudden problems and examine anew the situation and mentality of how the family got along and grew over the years. The proposition was worth anyone to think about in life and touch people's hearts. Lan Lan's interpretation of the suddenly with child "mama" in the movie was very appropriate. In a noodle eating solo scene she even performed until she kept crying, which made the on-site staff also admire the wonderful performance of this Best Actress-level elder.

Lan Lan has not made a movie for a while. She worked with Malaysian actors for the first time, and got along well with the family in and out of the film. The two new actors Miko and Juztin Lan (Lau Kai Fai) were on the set to take the opportunity to learn even if they were not in the shoot. Lan Lan filmed a noodle eating scene alone. When thinking of the effort and care her family has given her, she could not help but cry again and again. Although after a few takes the director was satisfied, Lan Lan felt that she was not good enough and asked for another take. She would not quit until her emotions were completely in place, after the cameras stopped rolling her face was still covered in tears. As a mother for many years, Lan Lan was also very suitable for the role. Coupled with superb acting skills, she further enriched the role of the mother in the film.

OMG earlier held a special screening on International Women's Day on March 8th and the response was decent. Many viewers reported that the film not only talked about family and family affection but also reflected on self-growth, which was a warm and joyful movie worth recommending to everyone. Advanced screenings would begin starting April 18th.

The 60's Shaw Brothers movie star Ku Feng (Kok Fung) passed away at the age of 94. His friend Susan Shaw Yam Yam confirmed the news of Kok Fung's death the night before. Tin Kai Man also revealed that he has heard the rumors of Kok Fung's death two months ago, but he has not been able to find the nephew who lived with him to confirm. He was very sad after learning the bad news, and praised Kok Fung was a good predecessor at first sight. They have worked with each other in front of and behind the scenes. They used to have dinners often, but they have had little contact with each other after his immigration. He learned that the other party was in poor health in recent years.

Nancy Sit Ka Yin also expressed her sadness, lamenting that there was no party that would not come to an end. They have collaborated on VIRTUES OF HARMONY. He was amiable, would share a lot of stories and care about everyone's health. She too received care from him; John Chiang Dai Wai shared the movie poster of THE NEW ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN with Kok Fung on social networks to mourn him; Candy Lo Hau Yam also shared their "father and daughter" photo from filming TVB's THE LAST BREAKTHROUGH, praising the elder for getting into his character in one second. Philip Keung Ho Man at his lowest received Kok Fung's encouragement to continue to persist. Kok Fung was an elder and instructor he respected very much and he wished him a safe journey.

Veteran actor Kok Fung two nights ago was rumored to have passed away at his residence last month. Former Shaw's martial art star Barry Wai Chi Wan posted a video on TikTok Wednesday (the 9th) and mentioned, "Uncle Kok passed away!" Mainland media reported that those in the know revealed that on the 27th last month Kok Fung's relative found him dead at his residence. He was 94. The cause of death would await announcement.

The Anselm Chan Mou Yin directed, Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Michael Hui Koon Man and Michelle Wai Sze Nga starred, Tommy Chu Pak Hong, Catherine Chau Ka Yee and others co-starred Hong Kong Film Awards favorite THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK), since its release it has repeatedly achieved success. Yesterday the film reported more good news. THE LAST DANCE jumped to the third place in the box office list of Hong Kong film history and became the only Hong Kong film among the top three total box office, creating a new milestone for Hong Kong films! Michael was overjoyed when he heard the news, and praised the extended version for being richer and more complete. Chu Pak Hong thanked the audience and hoped that Hong Kong movies would keep going.

THE LAST DANCE's extended version opened on the Ching Ming Festival last weekend, and even received more than HK$ 1 million at the box office. After a week, yesterday the film received more good news. According to cumulative box office statistics, as of 6 PM., the Hong Kong box office of THE LAST DANCE was HK$ 153.5 million and the Hong Kong and Macao box office was HK$ 165 million. The film has officially surpassed the 2018 Hollywood film release AVENGERS 3: INFINITY WAR (HK $153 million) to occupy the third place in the box office list of Hong Kong film history. It has become the only film in full 2D format among the top three box office films, showing the unique charm of Hong Kong films.

THE LAST DANCE even swept 18 nominations at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, setting a new nomination record in the past ten years. Earlier at the "Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild Annual Awards", "The Three Masters of the Kwok Family" - Hui Koon Man, Wai Sze Nga and Chu Pak Hong won three awards respectively for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor. The results were remarkable.

Faced with a box office miracle half a year after its release, the main creative team could not hide its excitement.

The Juno Mak Chun Lung produced, directed and written new film SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) has been selected for the "Midnight Screening" section of this year's Cannes Film Festival and became the only Chinese film selected for this year's film festival. After receiving the news, Juno released the 15 second teaser trailer of SONS online and posted, "Presenting a 15 second prelude on this night." The video began with blood flowing into the gutter, followed by the appearance of several male and female leads including Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo), Sean Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Gao Yuanyuan. Also edited in was the street shooting and explosion scenes from the film. At the end of the video the footage of the explosion in the Causeway Bay area was revealed.

In order to shoot the explosion and snow scenes at Causeway Bay in the film, Juno did not hesitate to build a real 1:1 scale set of Causeway Bay in the 60,000-square-foot steel factory in Huizhou. All the stores in the set was built in accordance to the actual appearance of the shops in the Causeway Bay district then. Even the goods in the shops were shipped from Hong Kong for display to recreate the form.

SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT began production in 2017 and wrapped up production the next year. 7 years later it still has not yet been released, reportedly its production cost went from the original HK$ 150 million to 400 million. The story was a certain Hong Kong wealthy businessman who passed away in an explosion, which was connected to the power struggle between drug lords and law enforcement. In addition the heir created chaos behind the scenes, proclaiming that he wanted to create a "world without drugs". Who in the end would restore law and order?

Best Actor Louis Koo Tin Lok has recently been troubled by an eye disease, pointing out that he had two holes in the retina of his right eye. The "eye floater syndrome" was very serious, and he would need to undergo eye surgery. Then he would need to recuperate, and his work plan might be affected!

When Best Actor Louis Koo Tin Lok (Goo Jai) recently appeared in public events, he often wore sunglasses. The outside world has been very concerned about his health. In an interview the day before yesterday, Goo Jai admitted that he was troubled by eye disease. "There is a problem with only one eye, and the retina of the right eye is perforated with two holes......that's why eye floaters syndrome is so severe, a lot of black lines are flying around. Wearing sunglasses darken the environment so it would not be so serious." He also said that surgery has been scheduled, "I can't wear contact lenses before surgery, I have to recuperate for the first week after surgery. I can't fly for a while, which will affect my work. I am still arranging the schedule right now."

However Goo Jai's recent work schedule has been jam packed. Films he starred in and his company invested in would be released in the mainland one after another. After BEYOND THE SIN (NGOK HUNG JI OI), he starred with Chrissie Chau Sau Na in the film BEHIND THE SHADOWS (SI GA JING TAM, formly titled MEI CHUI). It will also be released in the mainland on the 31st of next month. Although neither has any Hong Kong release date yet, their release should tightly follow. Now Goo Jai is suffering from eye disease, work has to be postponed one by one. Who would know whether the promotion of BEHIND film will also be affected.

In addition, he, Sean Lau Ching Wan and Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo) starred film SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) has been selected for the "Midnight Screening" section of the Cannes Film Festival in France. About the foreign media's optimism for the film, Goo Jai felt happy. However he expressed that he has not seen the latest version either, only the 4 to 5 hour long edited version.

Hedwig Tam Sin Yin, Locker Lam Ka Hei, Kaki Sham and Renci Yeung Sze Wing attended the premiere of the movie SMASHING FRANK (DOH POR FAT LAN HAK) the night before.

In the film Yeung Sze Wing and Kaki Sham originally had a kiss scene , but it was deleted in the end. Did Kaki Sham feel any regret? He said, "I can't say it's a pity, the actors act according to the script. In the end because of the editing of this secondary creation plus the director's ideas, in order to make the film better a few scenes need to be cut; so I respect the director's decision." Yeung Sze Wing also said that it did not matter, she only felt that Kaki Sham's psychological preparation in advance was wasted. "The kissing scene that was cut was just a peck. I felt that it was because Kaki has a family, a good husband and father. I communicated with him well before filming, finally it was deleted because of the pacing issue in editing. I don't think it matters." Did she provide an explanation to her boyfriend Owen Cheung Chu Long before filming? Yeung Sze Wing said, "I think it's more important to explain to the audience that the scene was deleted." Speaking of her boyfriend's recent daring performance in the drama ANONYMOUS SIGNAL, she immediately changed the subject. She pointed out that she was watching the online drama ADOLESCENCE recently, and the actors were also discussing it. The drama was about the relationship between parents and children, and she hoped that everyone would support this kind of social drama. Ask her again if she doesn't watch her boyfriend's show? Would he not watch her boyfriend's performance? She continued to avoid the subject, saying only, "I'm focused on promoting this movie." When the media said that Chun Long graciously talked about her during interviews, she awkwardly said, "I can't help that. Thank you."

Tam Sin Yin would compete for the "Best Actress" at the Hong Kong Film Awards with the film MONTAGES OF A MODERN MOTHERHOOD (FU DUK BUT). She recently attended the event publication photo shoot. She described her deep feelings about the shoot this year. "I attended the photo shoot once when I was a newcomer competing for the 'Best New Performer Award' 9 years ago. I didn't know what was happening when I went to the scene on the day of the shoot, and I was a little panicked when I got there. I did whatever people told me to do; but this year the difference was enormous. I felt so happy. When I got there I had a lot of clothes to choose from, and a lot of friends I knew in the business did makeup together and took turns at the shoot. The feeling was very down to earth, like doing group project when I was in college. It felt like a summer camp.

The opening ceremony of the 49th Hong Kong International Film Festival was held at the Cultural Centre last night, with the world premiere of Japanese director Tetsuya Nakashima's THE BRIGHTEST SUN and Malaysian director Chong Keat Aun's PAVANE FOR AN INFANT kicking off the 12-day festival. This year's filmmaker in focus would be Louis Koo Tin Lok. The film festival would bring 10 of his films to relive his iconic moments on the silver screen, and he would also participate in interviews. He would like to talk about the future of Hong Kong's film industry the most.

The filmmaker in focus Koo Tin Lok attended the opening ceremony of the festival, along with THE BRIGHTEST SUN's director Tetsuya Nakashima and producer Yasunori Naruse, as well as PAVANE FOR AN INFANT director Chong Keat Aun and its two leads Fish Liew Chi Yu and Ben Yuen Fu Wah. The guest of this year's Focus section, famous Japanese actress Sakura Ando made a surprise appearance, but the ambassador of this year's film festival Angela Yuen Lai Lam was absent due to illness.

Koo Tin Lok would be this film festival's filmmaker in focus. 10 of his films would be screened and an interview would take place on the 19th of this month. He joked that he has never tried to talk for the whole hour in an interview, but it would be only about films. He wanted to talk about the future of the Hong Kong film industry the most. Regarding the development and trend of Hong Kong films, he said, "The trend has to open up a new direction, trying different new things! Actually it also depends on different factors. Now that the global economy is not good, how can anyone be in the mood to go to the movies?"

Referring to the Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Rosanna Law Shuk-pui encouraging Hong Kong filmmakers to film more in the mainland. Goo Jai said, "There has always been. It also depends on whether the film itself is suitable for filming in the mainland. If a large set construction is needed then we have to. If we are making a family film, shooting it in Hong Kong is already enough." However Goo Jai pointed out that Hong Kong has always been small and crowded, and finding a place to film had certain difficulties. For example TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) built the entire Kowloon Walled City set that had to be demolished at the end of filming; while the mainland movies can retain the sets for tourist attractions after filming, which would help promote tourism. "Actually some movies in Hong Kong can be used as tourist attractions for tourists to visit after they have been successfully made, like the old Yau Ma Tei Police Station." Would there be more negotiations with the relevant departments of the government so that the movie sets could be preserved? Goo Jai said helplessly, "Just finding a place to apply for filming is difficult. I have tried to rent a flyover from the government to shoot a film, but when it is approved the shoot could not take place during rush hour; and the remaining time was not enough to shoot, so I really need to communicate more. I hope for a little more coordination with us, then the film industry would be able to shoot more smoothly."

Johnnie To Kei Fung in an overseas media interview said that he has not scalped plans to make ELECTION 3 (HAK SEH WUI 3). If the production would begin would he participate? Goo Jai joked, "I want STAR WARS to reach episode 18 too!" His film SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) was selected for the Midnight Screening section of the Cannes Film Festival. Some foreign media liked his and Sean Lau Ching Wan's chances to compete for Best Actor. Koo Tin Lok humorously said, "Do you really like the odds? It's still something to be happy about!" Koo Tin Lok constantly wore sunglasses at events as of late. Goo Jai revealed that it was due to an eye problem. "The right eye's retina has two holes and eye floaters appeared. Wearing sunglasses would turn the environment darker so it wouldn't be as serious." He has already scheduled the operation and would need a week to recover. He would not be able to take a flight for some time.

Speaking of attending G-Dragon's concert in Korea earlier, he was caught with a mystery woman next to him and some suspected her to be GD's sister. Goo Jai said, "GD's Pa, Ma, sister, the whole family was there. I was just watching the concert, but I haven't watched the concert when it was so cold."

This year's festival screened nearly 200 films from 69 countries and regions, including 6 world premieres and 52 Asian premieres. The festival also invited a number of renowned filmmakers, including French director Leos Carax, Spanish director Albert Serra, Finnish director Juho Kuosmanen, Golden Horse Best Actor Lee Kang-sheng, Japanese director Shinobu Yaguchi and actress Yukino Kishii, to meet and exchange views with Hong Kong audiences during the festival.

The director of the opening film PAVANE FOR AN INFANT Chong Keat Aun, the two leads Fish Liew Chi Yu and Ben Yuen Fu Wah walked the red carpet and were interviewed. Liew Chi Yu revealed that she played a volunteer in the abandoned baby barn in the film, in order to find the son she abandoned atone for her sins. The biggest challenge was that she has been used to making commercial films in Hong Kong and had to adjust to the pace of the film production there. This time she has to find the slow pace of acting in dramatic films. Although she was Malaysian, but she was not used to speaking Malaysian in this film. "Because I rarely speak it, I have to study it with a tutor before hand." Yuen Fu Wah had a ritual dance scene in the film and also had to practice hard in advance.

When asked about boyfriend Siuyea Lo Chun Yip's Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actor nomination this year, would she walk the red carpet with him? She joked, "I am not his spouse yet. I can walk it myself, I don't need him to, haha! Let me take all the glory himself."

Famous Japanese actress Sakura Ando came to Hong Kong the night before. She greeted the media in Cantonese, "How is everyone?" She said that this would be her third trip to Hong Kong. "The last time was 6 years ago, at the time I attended the Asian Film Awards with SHOPLIFTERS." She would stay for three days. Although the trip would be very short, but she hoped to take the opportunity to taste Hong Kong food and watch more movies. She admired Wong Kar Wai, Johnnie To Kei Fung and Stephen Chow Sing Chi's movies the most, so she has seen all the Chow Sing Chi movies released in Japan. Her husband was a To Kei Fung supporter, and she would also accompany her husband to watch his movies. "Hong Kong films are very charming, and have brought me a lot of inspirations and revelations." Would she like to have a chance to work with the three directors? She bluntly said that she would. As for whether she wanted to make comedy, she laughed and said that she has never chosen roles. She would go all out if she would have the opportunity to work together.

In addition, yesterday the Cannes Film Festival announced its selections. The Juno Mak Chun Lung produced, directed and written SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) was chosen for the "Midnight Screening" segment and became the only Chinese-language film selection this year. Mak Chun Lung said, "I would like to thank the Cannes Film Festival jury on behalf of the team. I believe that every film has its own destiny. I really couldn't find a more suitable time and place to hear the prelude to SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT than this."
