Thai actor Mario Maurer and Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa) have collaborated in the movie 77 HEARTWARMINGS (GUM DONG TA 77 CHI). Yesterday (5th) the two met again at a clothing brand event. The two bought shawls together as Christmas gifts. Ah Sa said that she would give shawls engraved with their names to her good sisters, while Mario felt that as gifts to mommy in winter they would be extra warm.

When asked if Ah Sa wanted to give gifts to her beloved in addition to giving Christmas gifts to her sisters? She smiled and replied, "I'll answer this question later, I want to have some secrets." In other words she only had a secret because she had a new relationship? She smiled and said, "Yes, you get it, smart boy." Has she already started a new relationship? She pretended to be mysterious and said she did not know. Perhaps she could not make it public yet? She finally said, "Let it be, one day I will." Would she not talk about her relationship until her birthday? She smiled bitterly and said, "One day."

Ah Sa revealed that actually the brand invited her to dinner with Mario, Cecilia Choi Sze Wan and Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun. During the dinner Ah Sa and Mario talked about the current downturn in the film market in Hong Kong and Thailand, and movies were rarely starting production. Ah Sa has not made a movie for almost a year since last year's Lunar New Year film, but she felt that even if the market has not been good she could not just stop. Thus recently she went to find someone to write a script and prepare for the future. She pointed out that when the market was good, pre production to production start would be completed very quickly. Now they could reserve more time to refine it. Has she participated in writing the script? She laughed and said, "I'm useless, but when I thought of something I would tell the screenwriter and the director. It used to be just talk; but now when I talk, if I feel the idea would work I would write it and put it into practice." Would she be an investor? She said that she would look for investment before deciding, but writing a script required money since she did not want to make people work for nothing. Hence she would cover the cost first, and currently two scripts in the works.

The 22nd of this month would be Ah Sa's 43rd birthday. She revealed that she has started to celebrate at the end of last month and cut three cakes. For this year's birthday she would celebrate C Kwan @ Fama, who also has a birthday on the same day. She laughed and said that after many years of talking about celebrating together, it would finally happen. She would play games, play mahjong and sing to spend the day together. She pointed out that If C Kwan had to perform on their birthday, he would ask the audience to wish her a happy birthday.

As for Mario, he would stay for three days in Hong Kong and would travel to Hong Kong with his family for Christmas in December. He planned to buy dolls in Mong Kok and Causeway Bay. Mario revealed that his movie "TIGER" would open in Thailand, and it would also be his first dark action movie. Thus he has trained for two weeks before the performance to learn horseback riding, shooting and action training, of which the production took four months to complete.

Choi Sze Wan appeared in Hong Kong for the first time after her wedding with Terrance Lau Chun Him. Would they go through the belated marriage processes? She said, "I am not telling you, but we wouldn't hold a banquet. We already invited family and close friends to the wedding. (Are you used to being called Mrs. Lau yet?) Not yet. Ah Him's s are also Mrs. Lau. I absolutely wouldn't mind calling people who like Ah Him Mrs. Lau, I have always supported one husband, multiple wives. The most important is for them to like Ah Him."
