Wong Cho Lam, Roger Kwok Chun On, Kaki Leung, Anthony Ho Yuen Tung yesterday promoted their Lunar New Year film I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE! (NEI MAI LEI, NGOR OI NEI!) at Television City. The new father Cho Lam got excited whenever he talked about his daughter Gabrielle, and was jealous that his daughter would smile at the handsome Jason Chan Chi San but would only sleep with Papa. He has been waiting for his daughter to smile like for the peacock to spread its plumage.

Cho Lam joked that he had to ask On Jai for advice. He revealed that the current stage was the happiest, because the baby girl slept for 24 hours and had grandparents, maternity helper and the maid to take care of her. His wife Leanne Li Yanan probably had it the hardest because she had to feed and change the baby on schedule and wait for her wounds to heal. Cho Lam could deeply sense how noble being a mother was. The new father Cho Lam was still learning. "So far I have only tried to feed her, I don't dare to change her yet. I am scared of even burping her, I am afraid that I might suffocating her." Cho Lam complained about this "little lover" with a smile, "She is despicable, she already knows how to check out guys. Earlier Chan Chi San and his wife visited my home, as soon as Jason picked her up she stared at him and gave him three smiles. When I look at her she would either be sleeping or not looking at me. Waiting for her to smile like waiting for the peacock plumage. (Are you jealous?) Of course, this bad girl forgets where she came from."

Cho Lam would spend his first Lunar New Year as a family of three. She said, "I used to give and not get, this year I can exchange gifts (lai see)." He also said that told everyone that his daughter would definitely be at Lunar New Year visits and the hundred day banquet.

On Jai in the film guest starred and praised how thoughtful the story arrangement was. He said, "In it I would reprise my immigration commercial from many years ago. Even I forgot that I made this commercial. Although I only had one scene, I always thought that just selling an appearance as a guest star wouldn't be too nice. People can savor the current arrangement."

DaDa Chan Jing, Hanjin Tan (Chan Woon Yan), Isabel Chan Yat Ning and Yanki Din (Ting Ho Yan) yesterday promoted their Lunar New Year film on the radio. DaDa in the film had a stunt on a wire. She worried about wardrobe malfunction but the director said that if she did then he would either censor the scene or cut it.

DaDa said, "After the first time I saw that I was very scared, so I asked for another take. Finally it took four or five takes." In another Lunar New Year film Xenia Chong Shui Yi's figure was the focus, was DaDa concerned about any comparison? She said, "Never, there is no comparison. The director said that this time I am selling acting and comedy, which to me is a breakthrough."

Chan Woon Yan and Tsui Tin Yau in the film had a relationship. Chan Woon Yan said that they would have passionate scenes. The director even personally demonstrated how they would perform. As for how "passionate", he revealed, "All naked, all tied up, all out, all in, we saw everything, after the shoot no one suspected that we were a couple. (Did your wife supervise?) BB (his wife) didn't mind, Tin Yau is so handsome." He pointed out that this time the co-stars and the director had top "face value", but said "hard and straight" instead.

Louis Koo Tin Lok, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Francis Ng Chun Yu, Grace Wong Kwan Hing, Benjamin Yuen Wai Ho and Jiang Peiyao yesterday began work on the new film LINE WALKER 2 (SI TOH HUNG JEH: DIP YING HUNG DONG). The first film, television and music grand slam artist Goo Jai said that he was very happy, but because he was busy with work he had no time to celebrate. Earlier photos of cake cutting were last minute arrangements at a Performing Artist Guild meeting. As for singing again at the award show, Goo Jai was asked whether he would return to music this year. He said that movies would come first. As for his next goal, he joked that he wanted to participate in a 13 event iron man race. Joey Yung Cho Yee stated that she wanted to write a new song for Goo Jai and market him strongly as a dance singer, Goo Jai turned it down that he wanted to make movies first. As for the suspected foul language due to the excitement at the award show, Goo Jai said no comment. His co-star Ng Chun Yu said that Goo Jai and Cheung Ka Fai competed for the music rookie award back then. Goo Jai reacted, "No way, I really don't remember." As the Performing Artist Guild president Koo Tin Lok was said to pay for elder Lo Hoi Pang's surgery. He said no comment but revealed that the Guild will hold a fund raiser in March, the donations will help artists in need and charity projects. Music newcomers would perform as well. Was he preparing a recognized music award show? Goo Jai said that he had no comment currently and would have to wait for the opportunity to mature. The Guild has always helped with street performances, but knew that the venue and the method would run into technical difficulties. Thus they would have to handle them slowly.

In addition, having worked with the late director Ringo Lam Lan Tung, Goo Jai admitted that now he still has not been able to accept the news of his death. Director Johnnie To Kei Fung has been responsible for the funeral arrangements. He knew that his family wanted the funeral to be a little more low key. The memorial will have to wait for To Sir's announce, if needed the Performing Artist Guild would certainly provide assistance. Speaking of director Lam Lan Tung's sudden passing, Chun Yu lamented and recalled something he has said -- a lot of life could not be unexpected. Once he learned about Lam's passing he was surprised and cherished their time together.

Best Actor Ng Chun Yu released a record with OLD TIME BUDDY and even went double platinum. Speaking of Goo Jai's male singer award, Chun Yu joked that music truly was very tolerant. He did not want to return to music and ruin someone else's "turf". "Goo Jai is tolerated, I would be whatever." Chun Yu even remembered that back then Goo Jai and Cheung Ka Fai competed for music rookie award. He also suggested for himself to perform BOYFRIEND with Goo Jai, as two men in bathrobes would definitely be very erotic.

With a record release Cheung Ka Fai said that he has not have the chance to congratulate Koo Tin Lok. Speaking of music owing him, Ka Fai said, "I like to sing, but I don't dare to sing in front of others. Goo Jai hasn't learned his lesson. Don't think that I am very excited about being a concert guest, actually I don't want to be. Please stop asking me." Speaking of his "brother" Jacky Cheung Hok Yau's upcoming concerts, Ka Fai said that he would show his support but would not appear on stage. He believed that Hok Yau would focus on his performance not drag him to the stage to embarrass him. Admitting that he only dared to face a machine, Ka Fai joked that he has already returned to music but only limited to his bathroom at home. He would not dare to perform other audience facing jobs like hosting and reality show. He said that he was already decades old and no longer needed to overcome any fear.

[2019.01.07] SAMMO HUNG DOES NOT DARE TO TEACH HIS GRANDSON KUNG FU

Janet Chow Ka Wai's ViuTV food program invited her father in law Sammo Hung Kam Bo as a guest. Her co-host Lau Wing Kin invited his father Lau Ka Wing to the taping. Today is Hung Kam Bo's 67th birthday, Ka Wai prepared a cake and gave the birthday song to celebrate with her father in law. Hung Kam Bo happily said, "I am happy everyday, not just only birthdays, Happy Everyday!" Today he would probably celebrate with his family. Lau Ka Wing jokingly asked for an invitation, and Hung Kam Bo replied in jest that he should give me lai see first.

Hung Kam Bo and Lau Ka Wing have known each other since they were little. Hung Kam Bo revealed that when he was little Lau Ka Wing often picked on him. Lau Ka Wing admitted, "He was just a few years old when he started, if I didn't pick on him, should I have picked on someone several decades old?" Hung continued, "In terms of fighting I am no match for him. He could knock down someone in several dozen seconds." Lau Ka Wing humbly said, "That's just promotion, don't believe that."

Speaking of movies, Hung Kam Bo said, "If I have he chance I want to work with old actors like (Karl) Maka, (Richard) Ng Yiu Hon, and Ka Wing. (Five Lucky Stars?) Old Lucky stars, I can make Hong Kong films but let's see if today I hit the lottery." Hung Kam Bo felt that Hong Kong film used to be the dragon head of Asia, unfortunately now anywhere is stronger than Hong Kong. It's like a steak on the road, 'no taboo' -- it's nothing at all. After Ka Wing and I gradually retreated, Wu Jing can still fight, (Max) Zhang Jin can fight but may not be able to rise. I really don't know. In the past you had a chance to become a martial art star with martial art training, getting the younger folks hope. Now there is no hope to give them. Even Tony Jaa began his training after watching Hong Kong film because he wanted to become a martial art superstar. Without Hong Kong film he still would be picking up after elephants." Would he pass kung fu to his grandson? He said, "I am afraid that he would refuse to see Grandpa after that. Last time I told him to go to sleep he already said he wouldn't see me, how could I dare to tell him to study kung fu!"

[2019.01.06] MASTER Z: THE IP MAN LEGACY LANDS IN THE HIGHEST GROSSING HONG KONG FILM TOP TEN

MASTER Z: THE IP MAN LEGACY is approaching HK$ 13 million since Christmas

The Yuen Woo Ping (Lord Eight) directed, Raymond Wong Pak Ming and Donnie Yen Chi Tan produced, Max Zhang Jin, Dave Bautista, Michelle Yeoh (Yeung Chi King), Tony Jaa, Kevin Cheng Ka Wing, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Shi Yanneng, Patrick Tam Yiu Man starred kung fu epic MASTER Z: THE IP MAN LEGACY (IP MAN OI JUEN: CHEUNG TIN CHI) in the past Christmas slot did not fear the onslaught from various foreign films. So far the film almost reached HK$ 13 million and eighth in the 2018 highest grossing Hong Kong film. The film is still in release.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and AVENGERS' Hollywood action superstar Dave used to be a professional wrestler. With his size he was a heavyweight opponent. In the film he and Shi Yanneng fought a life and death duel. Shi Yanneng once revealed that he had a disc dislocation after an accident during the fight. Aside from this scene, Dave also had a fight in a restaurant with Zhang Jin.

Lord Eight got Dave, who was obviously taller, bigger and stronger than Zhang Jin, and designed power punches against the even more agile wing chun moves that avoided hard contact; yet to be reasonable, he even asked Dave to lift up Zhang Jin and toss him. Zhang Jin said, "During the fight, I felt like I hit him with ten punches but he could knock me out with just one punch! During the shoot we would have safety precautions, but to really get picked up, tossed toward the wall and through glass was still rather damaging! It made sense because he was infinitely strong and able to do so."

As for working on his first Hong Kong kung fu film, Dave said that he not use was not used to the production that was different from Hollywood, but also some scenes that were even crazy to him. "However Lord Eight was very patient. He would show me completed shots so I felt like I would be able to complete the stunt. The result was reasonable. I am very grateful to the director!" In addition in a dramatic scene, Dave and Cheng Ka Wing both had steaks but neither ate beef. To keep from affecting production, both took the "chew and spit" approach and were rather professional.

Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Wong Jing, and Philip Ng Won Lung two nights ago worked on their film ENTER THE FAT DRAGON (FEI LUNG GOR GONG) in an alley in Kowloon Bay. Chi Tan said that the film took a year to make because changes were made as the shoot went on. This day was already the final night. In two scenes he would have to mess with himself as he performed classic scenes from FLASHPOINT and SPL, with the same costume, same staff and at the same back alley as he did 15 years ago for SPL.

Yen Chi Tan joked, "The costume is still a little loose now because my chest wasn't so firm before. Instead my belly got a little fatter, but it's healthy fat." Chi Tan pointed out that ENTER THE FAT DRAGON was not entirely a comedy. He said that he would not be absurd, which he would leave for Wong Jing. This was his third collaboration with Wong Jing. They worked at different posts so the collaboration has been very pleasant. As for the chubby costume in the film, he said, "It's a very handsome chubby. Actually years ago I did a commercial with this chubby look. At the time a friend already suggested for me to transition it into a film character. (Does your wife like your chubby look?) My children don't recognize me, at the set they have no idea who is Daddy." He also said that because he felt the Chinese title was pretty cute he bought the title right. However the story would be all new. As for the Lunar New Year, Chi Tan said that he would spend it in Hong Kong because he would have to attend a family wedding.

Investor and star Wong Jing stated that this time he spent heavily, as the production cost was as expensive as CHASING THE DRAGON. The first half was shot in Japan and a studio set of Kabukicho was constructed for a car chase scene. Did his acting bug get its fill? Wong Jing said that at first when Chi Tan asked him to perform he was unwilling, because fight scenes would be very exhausting. He even suggested to pay more for Sammo Hung Kam Bo. However Chi Tan disagreed and insisted on him performing. Wong Jing said, "I am dying from all the fighting! I too had to fight alone against several people! Chi Tan fought against several dozen, without fighting I wouldn't know how well I could fight. Chi Tan regretted this chubby look very much, each time in make up all the gluing was quite a pain. The film will be released in April. Now getting a cinema circuit has been very tough." In addition, speaking of the earlier passing of veteran director Ringo Lam Lan Tung, Wong Jing sentimentally said, "Someone told me services will take place on the 9th, the location would be better left for the family to announce. When I heard the news in Beijing I really was stunned. As bad as it sounded I said, 'I would die before he would'! Life is very fragile."

In this scene, Ng Won Lung guest starred and imitated SPL's Wu Jing to fight with Chi Tan. He said that he was so nervous he could not sleep the nigh before. Because Chi Tan was his idol, being able to spar with Chi Tan was his honor. Speaking of the rumors after being caught out with Kamen Kong Ka Man, Ng Won Lung stated that Kong Ka Man sent the news to him. Very obviously it was not true. That day after promoting FIST FIGHT they went Christmas shopping and left. He said that he was also very close with Kong Ka Man's boyfriend as they always played video games together. Would he find a girlfriend? He said that he would let it up to Heaven to arrange it.

The Pang Ho Cheung directed, Gigi Leung Wing Kei, DaDa Chan Jing, Isabel Chan Yat Ning, Lam Suet, Patrick Tse Yin, Jo Kuk Cho Lam and Miriam Yeung Chin Wa starred Lunar New Year film MISSBEHAVIOR (GUNG HEI BAK POR) yesterday released its official trailer. The trailer began with Lam Suet, who "greeted" Yeung Chin Wa and told Chin Wa to "speak English". She was stunned. Chin Wa said that the appearance in the trailer absolutely was not acting because it was a real reaction. "Brother Suet was loud and the set was very quiet. As soon as he turned around he loudly dropped the bomb. I really was stunned from fright. I had to wait for awhile before I remembered to deliver my lines."

DaDa's low cut leap also caught a lot of eyeballs. DaDa said, "The scene actually required wires. Since it was my first time I really was a little nervous. Instead I was the most afraid of wardrobe malfunction. I took all the precautions before appearing on the set." DaDa's niece Little Mantou also performed. DaDa also praised her niece's great performance. In addition, Pang Ho Cheung's movies have always been very "domestic". Aside from adding topical figure "Yam Ho Yan", he also invited internet artist Yanki Din ("Sister Turkey" Ting Ho yan) and Manner's Hou Dee to join the fray.
