Adapted from the novel "MAN INSIDE THE NET", the new film FOOK SAU DIK YUN (MAN OF VENGEANCE) shot yesterday at a karaoke box, director Herman Yau Lai To and actors Sean Lau Ching Wan, Elizabeth Tang To, Catherine Chau Ka Yee attended. The Emperor boss Albert Yeung Sau Sing came to visit the set. Working for the first time with the Best Actor Lau Ching Wan, this year's Hong Kong Film Awards Best New Performer winner Tang To would play his "employer". She said that she was not nervous during rehearsing with Ching Wan. Instead she felt a sense of peace of mind. Ching Wan said that he did not particularly accommodate the new actors during his performance, thinking that the new actors were very smart. The most important thing was to inspire and communicate with each other.

Director Yau Lai To, actor Lau Ching Wan, Tang To, Chau Ka Yee, Valerie Cheung Sum Yi, Carina Li Hei Tung, Arvin Tsang Ngo Fei, Sammy Sum Chun Him, Kenneth Lai Chun and Polly Lau Yuek Bo participated in the filming of the Emperor Motion Picture FOOK SAU DIK YUN yesterday. In the film Lau Ching Wan, Tang To and Chau Ka Yee would develop a relationship triangle in the film.

Lau Ching Wan wore a trench coat and looked to be much thinner than before. He pointed out that his weight did not have any drastic swing, it was just the feeling of new look. In this film he played a private investigator Tang To employed to investigate incidents of bullying online and on campus. Recently winning the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best New Performer with GIRLFRIENDS (NUI HAI BUT PING FAN), Tang To worked with the Best Actor Lau Ching Wan for the first time and already played his "employer". Could she casually send Ching Wan on assignment at will? Tang To smiled shyly and said, "We assign each other, but I myself feel nervous for the first few days of production, but I am not nervous when I see him. I have a sense of peace of mind!"

Tang To won an award with her first film, and very soon was able to work with the Best Actor. She admitted that the role of the student's sister was a big challenge, so she had also a little anxiety and pressure. Ching Wan smiled and said that he and Tang To only met two days ago. The day before they just shot some of the scenes together. He has not yet commented on this "Best New Performer", but since the director chose her there should be no problem. He said, "She won an award with her first film. I had to make dozens of films before I was nominated!"

Ching Wan revealed that this time he no longer needed to play a detective. The role was a very materialistic, money before relationship kind of person, finally from helping to investigate the incident his personal emotions was led out. Would comedic element be added? Lau Ching Wan said, "I wouldn't deliberately try to be funny. I would follow what the director says, if necessary I would add a little humor." His and Tang To's personalities were tough and unyielding, but it would not be like the past masculine films he made. This time he would face the performance of new actors as students, he said that he did not particularly accommodate everyone, because he felt that the new actors were very smart, reacting quickly and sensibly. "So I didn't accommodate everyone. We inspire each other, mutual interaction is the most important." He would welcome everyone to chat and gladly share his experience. Tang To said that before she was in the business she ran into Lau Ching Wan on the street. Was Tang To very scared to face Best Actor Lau Ching Wan? Before Tang To was able to answer, Ching Wan already answered for her, "Hong Kong has many Best Actors, I wouldn't deliberately ask everyone for opinions, I have no opinion. I communicate through the director. Of course, we would also chat, this way we could inspire each other."

In addition, referring to Ching Wan and his wife Amy Kwok Oi Ming's recent trip to the mainland, people online praised his wife's radiant beauty. Ching Wan smiled and said, "The camera lens is the beautiful one, and the sun is shining." Did he not think his wife was so beautiful that she was shining? He smiled and said, "I am not at liberty to talk, I don't have to pay the electricity bill then!" As for the first personal concert of his friend Louis Koo Tin Lok, would he be a guest on stage? Ching Wan said that he would not. Because he did not know how to speak or sing, he did not want to mess up other people's business.

Chau Ka Yee in the film would play a teacher. She said that her role would mainly shoot with the students, so she would not have many scenes with Ching Wan and she felt sorry about that. Yet when she was not in a scene, she would stay on the set to learn from Ching Wan. For her birthday on the 23rd of this month, she would fly to Malaysia to attend a film festival on the same day. She said that she felt very happy to spend her birthday at work.

Sum Chun Hin in the film would play an arrogant lawyer and have scenes with Lau Ching Wan. He remembered that he was a special contract actor when he worked with Lau Ching Wan on POKER KING, but at that time he was just Pedestrian A who was standing behind Ching Wan and Koo Tin Lok.

Recently a "car camera" video was circulated on the Internet, and in it seemingly was a dispute between Lui Fong and the driver. Having been a rideshare driver, Sum Chun Hin also forwarded the relevant news on the Internet. He said that he mainly wanted everyone to notice that if something happened, no matter which party was right and wrong, it was not appropriate to release the film for a "public trial"; which was equivalent to revenge. This behavior would affect young people, let them mistakenly think that if they could not win an "argument", they could put the video on the Internet to let others "judge" to avenge themselves. "This way is very bad though. No wonder who is right or wrong, just let it go after the argument is over."

Speaking of his time as a driver, he believed that personal attitude was very important. Any and all parties could be a little more tolerant. When he was a driver was he gentle with his passengers? He joked that don't judge him just by his looks, actually he was very gentle at any time. When asked if he had a very unreasonable passenger, he said, "I believe in the law of attraction. What kind of attitude you have will attract what kind of people to you." He said that he would often encounter difficult guests, so he had to try to keep his mood as good as possible. Everything could be resolved.

Hazel Lam Hei Tung earlier was caught with Gareth.T (Tong Ling Shan) on the street and was thus linked in rumors. Yesterday she worked on the film FOOK SAU DIK YUN and was asked about her date. She avoided the topic, only said that she has known Tong Ling Shan for awhile and thought he was humorous. Was he her ideal type? Hazel pointed out that she never had a specific ideal type. As for future development opportunities, she said that she did not know because she has not think about it seriously. Now she would spend all her time on the script. Tong Ling Shan would perform at the Hong Kong Coliseum. She revealed that she has congratulated to him, but has not been invited to enjoy the performance. It would not take place until six months later anyway, and she has not made any plan to go to support the show.

Regarding the film FOOK SAU DIK YUN, Hazel and VIVA members Valerie Cheung Saum Yi (ValC) and Carina Li Hei Tung all would play secondary school students, they did not feel anything wrong with that. ValC said that after dyeing her hair back to black, everyone said that she became younger; as for each person wearing school uniforms for the performance, she joked that she felt like a gifted student. Elder Lau Ching Wan revealed that he also wanted to interact with young actors, among them only ValC had scenes with Ching Wan. Yet on the day of the costume fitting, they also greeted Ching Wan. At work they had the opportunity to stand on the sideline and learn. Hazel also pointed out that Ching Wan's role was very mysterious, so he really wanted to see how he performed on the set. Carina laughed and said that she did not dare to ask her elders for acting tips because she was afraid that her questions would be too dumb. ValC and Carina became actors, but the two said the girl group Viva woiuld continue to have work. They would rather sacrifice sleep time to be able to sing and make films at the same time.
