The 38th Hong Kong Film Awards will take place soon. The event released a series of promotional videos, with Andy Lau Tak Wa appearing in a flash in the final chapter. The event invited people to share their Hong Kong film memories on camera. Lau Tak Wa appeared as the "prize presenter" and presented them with the Hong Kong Film Award so they could feel how heavy it was. They screamed at Wa Jai's surprise appearance and even received hugs of love. The funniest was when a young person said that he liked Wong Jing's PROJECT GUTENBERG (MO SEUNG) (actually it was Felix Chong Man Keung's). Wa Jai cracked up behind the camera. The young person finally politely thanked Wa Jai, "Thank you Uncle Lau!" Wa Jai gave a helpless look as a response. Wa Jai said that he has not interacted with the audience up close in a very long time. He said, "I was very touched, I hope Hong Kong film will continue to march on."

Ti Lung yesterday with his wife Tao Man Ming attended his film THE KID FROM THE BIG APPLE 2: BEFORE WE FORGET's charity screening. Co-star Shaun Tam Chun Yin was in Vietnam and unable to attend.

The film wrapped up production two years ago. As for not being able to be released in Hong Kong, did he feel any regret? Ti Lung said, "This industry has highs and lows. The movie was made in Malaysia, it was quite a hit there. Other stuff like Hong Kong distribution is not something that actors can control. I hope those interested would support the film, since fewer people would invest in family films. For example THE WANDERING EARTH was very popular in the Mainland, but in Hong Kong it didn't get much publicity." He also said that he would like to watch a movie with his grandchildren when he would have the time so they would understand the job.

Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Justin Cheung Kin Sing and Kumer So San Yu yesterday attended a P STORM (P FUNG BO) audience appreciation event. The film made over HK$ 4 million over 3 days in Hong Kong and almost 300 million RMB in the Mainland. Cheung Kai Chung was rather happy to see the good performance. Aside from the premiere, two nights ago he went to see the movie with his wife and son. His son was so tense that he almost cried. Because in the film he was tortured and beaten up, his son asked if he was fine. Ah Chung said, "I told him I wasn't, you better hurry up and take a little better care of me!"

Ah Chung also said that in the past he rarely let his son watch his films, but now he would take him to see more Hong Kong films in hopes of cultivating his interest in music and art. He also wanted him to become interested in film. Would he permit his son to enter the business? Ah Chung said, "I would wait until he is grown to worry about that, now I just hope that he would know how hard the film production process is. I wanted to bring him to the set to be my assistant, at most I would give him the market minimum wage and see if he can take it with me. Actually I want him to understand how a film operated the most, give him an idea of what kind of job acting is. He absolutely shouldn't think about becoming a star, because acting is a job!"

As for the film's good box office and word of mouth, Ah Chung felt that they were returns that all of the actors deserved. Raymond Lam Fung in particular gave a very serious performance and had a huge breakthrough in his character design. He rarely participated in a men's movie, not to mention it was his first collaboration with Louis Koo Tin Lok so he was a little panicky. At first when he saw Koo Tin Lok he would call him "Mr. Koo" left and right, but because in the film they were good friends one day Koo Tin Lok pat him on the shoulder and said, "Don't call me Mr. Koo or Boss Koo anymore, be a little friendlier. If you don't call me Goo Jai I would hit you. After finishing the film we all became good friends!" Would he have a chance to work together again in the next film G STORM? Ah Chung said that the film company asked him to make room in his schedule.

Director Andrew Lau Wai Keung two days ago just celebrated his 59th birthday and had a birthday party at his Sai Kung home. Guests included Anthony Wong Chau Sun, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Fiona Sit Hoi Kei, Zhang Hanyu, Cecilia Yip Tung and her husband, Cheung Tat Ming, Samantha Ko Hoi Ning, Nina Paw Hee Ching and Amanda Lee Wai Man. Lau Wai Keung's birthday wish was good health for everyone around him. He admitted that he would have pain in his shoulder and hip. He also said that many colleagues in stunts, lighting and cinematography would have problems. Thus he got a new ideas lately to create a healthcare center.

Earlier he spoke with Chin Ka Lok and said that as he got older, his body was not want it used to be. His shoulder and hip would have pain, as he often had to see Chinese bonesetters and have physical therapy. "Colleagues in stunt, lighting and cinematography would have problems. So I thought of opening a healthcare center. I will volunteer there then ask physical therapists to teach everyone basic ways to help others or use equipment to reduce pain. I hope this project will come to fruition soon!"

Lau Wai Keung also revealed that he just finished the film CHINESE PILOT. Earlier the film shot on location in Lhasa, Tibet. Half of the crew had high altitude illness during the shoot. Luckily it did not happen to him and he was able to finish the shoot. Currently he was focused on the post production work so the film would be able to be released as soon as possible.

Speaking of the English version of YOUNG AND DANGEROUS, Lau Wai Keung said, "Whatever, BS wouldn't happen in this world. We will negotiate again, but I won't make it. My strength in 30 something isn't like it is today. I am afraid that I won't be able to make back the feeling of then. You would want to find a young, strong and fiery director to make it!"

Ko Hoi Ning revealed that two days ago she just returned to TVB to discuss a new series and ran into Elaine Lok Yi Ling. She asked her to go to Lau Wai Keung's birthday party together, so she brought red wine as a gift. Ko Ling said that she was not much of a drinker, just a little would make her face turn red. Would she ask her boyfriend to pick her up if she got drunk? She said no because he was busy with work too. Ko Ling once starred in Lau Wai Keung's FROM VEGAS TO MACAU 2 (DOH SING FUNG WON 2). She hoped to be able to work with him again but she would not mention it deliberately to him. Two nights ago she would not talk about work at all so she would happily celebrate his birthday.

Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin, Ashina Kwok Yik Sum, Hedwig Tam Sin Yin and director Tsang Tsui Shan two nights ago attended THE LADY IMPROPER (FEI FUN SHOOK NUI) audience appreciation event. Ah Sa said that she has not disguised herself to watch the audience reaction but she has read online reviews and comments. She said, "Most were OK, actually they had very different comments. Ultimately each movie has people who like it and dislike it."

Ah Sa said that earlier at the premiere, she and lead actor Wu Kang-Jen sat together. When they got to their intimate scene they covered their eyes. She said, "No eyes see, it was very awkward. (How did your friends feel about the film?) They definitely support it, they even said that they kept from blinking to watch it." Ah Sa said that Kwok Yik Sum also had intimate scenes. Kwok Yik Sum said that luckily she had a wrap to cover yourself. "Because I was alone, hearing myself was very awkward. (What did you hear?) The 'breathing' sounds from acting."

In the film Ah Sa performed a pole dance. She pointed out that Tam Sin Yin's pole dance was even sexier than hers. Tam Sin Yin said, "Two different kind of sexy, they are sexually daring, I am choreographically daring." Ah Sa said that after finishing this film she would rather be sexy than working on another intimate scene. "Because some moves are scientific, basically they can't be done in real life. (Would you try it with your boyfriend?) I just said they weren't scientific, the moves would be doing something that others would not be capable of. You had to contort your body while facing the camera. It's impossible, in real life you might sprain your hip and neck. During the shoot I really almost twisted all my limbs. Wu Kang-Jen had it bad too, his knees were all bruised." Was the pole dancing more damaging? Ah Sa said, "The bruises from pole dancing were in different areas, inner thigh. Those less than scientific moves were more on the other thigh. I was injured inside and out, the shoot was very tough."

The film P STORM (P FUNG BO) opened today in the Mainland. Two days ago director David Lam Tak Luk and stars Kevin Cheng Ka Wing, Raymond Lam Fung, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Adam Pak Tin Nam, Janelle Sing (Anika Xia Yan), Monna Liu Mengna appeared at the Guangzhou premiere.

The event prepared tags and key terms for the team to interact with the audience with. Cheung Kai Chung got the "funny spot" tag. In the film he expressed the pressure of housing for Hong Kong young people with "Hong Kong youth sees prison as their goal in life." Many who have seen the film were pleasantly surprised and said that Cheung Kai Chung stole the funny spot in the four anti corruption film.

In addition, as the new addition Lam Fung worked with Goo Jai again after 18 years and got the "betrayal" tag. He said that in the film he played a rich kid Cho Yuen Yuen. The name might sound a little cute but his personality was extreme and odd, almost to the point of being deranged.

Many viewers were veteran TVB series fans and were more than curious about Lam Fung's villain debut. They were surprised. Speaking of how to grasp the "deranged" character's state of mind, Lam Fung said that before the performance he was a little worried. However with Goo Jai's help many scenes were performed very successfully. He joked, "I finally got my wish of playing a deranged character this time, actually it can be considered a 'natural performance'." Lam Fung also revealed that he hoped through his first villain role for everyone to be able to hate him.

Many asked about his upcoming film projects. Lam Fung said that no matter what types of film they would be, the productions have been a "double harvest" of pain and joy. Lam Fung continued that for several seconds that appeared in the story the team would need to spend most of the day to make. "After so many years, many films that the Hong Kong film industry have made collected a lot of blood, sweat and tears." Lam Fung urged viewers to support Hong Kong filmmakers' "craftsman" spirit and watch more Hong Kong films.

Viewers who saw the premiere said that the prison scene was the surprise of the film and even praised the realism of the prison scene and the helicopter crash. Lam Fung and Tam Yiu Man who both had many prison scenes said, "The prison set was very realistic, as soon as we entered it we would feel the tension."

In the film Lam Fung and Lam Ka Tung were two major forces in prison and often fought. Lam Fung said that when he took the role, the director clearly told him that he would be the prison boss with a big group of fighters. He thought that someone would perform the fight scenes for him, but he did not expect that in every fight he would be leading the charge. "Everyday I had a fight scene, basically I had one with every actor."

Among all the action, the cafeteria and the kitchen fights were the more ferocious. Lam Fung unfortunately took a hit to the nose. He said, "At the time the scene was very chaotic, a dozen or so people were fighting together. Fists were flying back and forth, losing slippers and breaking spoons. Sometimes I wouldn't be able to duck in time and unluckily I took a punch!" In addition Lam Ka Tung needed to get back at Lam Fung and threw an orange at him during lunch, yet he had one bad take after another. Lam Ka Tung said, "At first I thought it wouldn't be hard at all, I didn't know that every orange was different. Every throw was different. The action scene didn't stump me but the oranges did!"
