grateful to Yam Tat Wa and the late artist Kenneth Tsang Kong for
their help. Winning Best Screenplay at the Macau International Film

The first report card of the 2023 music scene was given
out as the Metro Hit Awards 2023 took place last night at the
Conventional Center. 68 awards were presented. This year the singers'
performance has been rather event. No singer was able to win numerous
awards. Hins Cheung Kin Hin, Terence Lam Ka Hin, Jason Chan Pak Yu,
Gigi Yim Ming Hay, On Chan Kin On, Alfred Hui Ting Hung, Vincy Chan

were Lam Ka Him, Jay Fung Won Fung and Ian Chan Cheuk Yin; "Hit

This year Metro Hit Awards' theme was "growing", advising
singers that they could grow into legends and songs could grow into
classics. As long as they have dreams and persistence, everything
are growing. This year was also the 20th anniversary of the late
superstar Anita Mui Yim Fong's passing. The event arranged for many
new singers to perform many Mui Yim Fong classic hits and gave Sister
Mui the highest salute.
In terms of record companies Emperor Records performed the
best with 12 awards. Rumored to be at odds with the event, Warner
Records after last year's absence this year also had no singer in
attendance. During the opening the event arranged for the singers to
go on the stage for a group photo, new comer Jessica Law perhaps due
to her sunglasses tripped as she descended the stairs. Fortunately
she was not injured.
The event first presented the "Breakthrough Singer" award to
Anson Kong. He said that although this year he did not release too
many songs, he promised next year he would try even more different
music and sing more dance songs. "I Support Song" award went to Jer
Lau Ying TIng's JM SINGLE 9. The "Male Singer" Award went to Ian Chan
Cheuk Yin. All three winners happened to be members of MIRROR. They

Stephy Tang has a pair of shark fins on her shoulders
The golden Ivana Wong steals the spotlight from Lin Minchen courtesy of on.cc
The 2024 Lunar New Year Hong Kong film TABLE FOR SIX 2
(FAN HEI GUNG SUM 2) would open on the Lunar New Year's Eve. The film
would continue to be directed by Sunny Chan Wing Sun, Stephy Tang Lai
Yan, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Ivana Wong Yuen Chi, Minchen Lin and Peter
Chan Charm Man again stumbled and felt around subjects of family and
marriage. In the film each had a innovative, interesting classic look
that you could not look away from.
The film's trailer revealed the 5 leads' hilarious costumes.
Stephy appeared as a "shark fin angel" with a pair of shark fins on
her shoulders. She said, "I really worry that I would accidentally
run into someone, or maybe knock something over on the set."
Ivana caught a lot of eyeballs with the Chinese wedding gown.
In response to her on screen family Helen Law Lan and Michelle Yim (Mai
Sue)'s request to have a big wedding, she wore gold all over her body
from head to toe. Thus when Ivana arrived she had trouble walking.
Ivana said that this gown was her favorite costume in the film. "I
love the red gown costume the most. Its tailoring was very special,
as lace was very rarely seen on gowns. We all said that after the
movie release everyone might be interested in ordering it. The most
special was the super amount of gold. We guessed that if they were
all real gold, whether we would have enough to buy a home!"
Finally was Minchen playing the "third brother" Chan Charm
Man invented new game character "corpse bride". Her costume was rather
sexy. Although the costume was flimsy, the shoot actually took place
during a typhoon and the climate was rather humid. Minchen said that
it was rather hot, in addition she had to pretend to be hiding from
zombies. She perspired a lot from all the running back and forth,
during her break she had to use a small hand held fan to cool down
before returning to the shoot. The two men had it the roughest, as
Chan Charm Man and Cheung Kai Chung wore a golden armor and pretended
to be robot respectively. Every step was hard to take for them.
Although each actor had their own pain,
they felt that this was a rare and valuable experience. In reality
they would not dress like this. They was even happier that they spent
everyday on the set in the sounds of laughter.

Wai Jai and Wa Jai give the audience the "five poses of giving hearts"
Carlos Chan, Catherine Chau, Alex Fong Chung Shun, Simon Yam, Andy Lau, Charlene Choi, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, producer Wong Bun and director Felix Chong promote THE GOLDFINGER in Beijing courtesy of mingpao.com
New film THE GOLDFINGER (GUM SAU JI) two nights ago
held its Beijing premiere. Director and screenwriter Felix Chong Man
Keung and producer Wong Bun, actors Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Andy Lau Tak
Wa, Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin, Simon Yam Tat Wa, Alex Fong Chung Shun,
Carlos Chan Ka Lok and others appeared and shared their behind the
scene stories with viewers. Emperor Group chair Dr. Albert Yeung Sau
Sing and Kara Wai Ying Hung made a surprise appearance, praising the
film THE GOLDFINGER with substance actors' extremely intense
performance, uniquely charming story and extreme extravagance to create
an exceptional Hong Kong film!
At the Beijing premiere, a viewer brought a photo with Wai Jai
and Wa Jai from over 20 years ago. In front of the photo on the
screen, the two Best Actors fell into memories. Speaking of when they
took the photo, Wa Jai stated that over their decades of working
together, they have built a deep friendship long ago. He would keep
working with Wai Jai. They also fulfilled the audience's wish with
a live performance of "5 poses of giving hearts", which was the best
embodiment was that. At the premiere, Wai Jai and Wa Jai even
reprised a major scene from the film: the Ching Yat Yin and Lau Kai
Yuen hospital scene. The two Best Actors also performed in Cantonese.
The premiere happened to take place on director Chong Man
Keung's birthday, everyone sang the birthday song to the director and
a birthday cake with THE GOLDFINGER decoration was presented as a
surprise.
Attending the premiere, Best Actress Wai Ying Hung emotionally
said that the film THE GOLDFINGER's exciting story left her during the
viewing "without any opportunity to breathe, I can only describe it as
'the more I watch the better I feel'!" Sister Siu Hung was even
envious of her 77 HEARTBREAKS (YUEN LOI TA 77 CHI)'s daughter Ah Sa.
"The cast is too super, Ah Sa, how lucky are you!" Ah Sa smiled and
replied to "Mommy", "That's right, I won the grand prize!" Ah Sa
described her character as "a tragic character who fell into the
temptation of money and had no way to escape", simply introduced her
filmmaking experience.
Eddie Peng Yu-Yan recently has been busy with promoting
his films. Earlier someone shared a video of his fluent Cantonese
audience appreciation show self introduction. Eddie was excited,
"Hello everyone, I am Peng Yu-Yan, thank you for coming here, Happy
Winter Solstice, Thank you everyone!" However the host while he was
speaking strangely grabbed Eddie's strong arm, which became a hot
topic online. Some said that the host seemingly wanted him to
introduce himself in Putonghua, thus some comments quoted a line from
Nick Cheung Ka Fai's film UNBEATABLE (GIK JIN), "Speak Putonghua,
would you please!"
For the "Triple Golden" Best Actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai, acting of course comes easily
Tony Leung Chiu Wai admits that he still gets pressure when making movies now courtesy of on.cc

Best Actors Andy Lau Tak Wa and Tony Leung Chiu Wai
after DUKE OF MOUNT DEER and later INFERNAL AFFAIR worked together
again on the film THE GOLDFINGER (GUM SAU JI) 20 years later. They
have known each other for 40 years. Although normally they do not
see each other frequently, on the set when they take their mark they
would already be full of chemistry. They do not need any rehearsal
for every scene together, the interaction would motivate the others'
performance to be in more control.
Wa Jai and Wai Jai's movie INFERNAL AFFAIR became a classic.
20 years later they worked together again on THE GOLDFINGER and
continued to be on opposite sides. This time Wai Jai played the
villain businessman, while Wa Jai played the ICAC official who was
after him. Was their bond still there? Leung Chiu Wai said, "We still
have just as much chemistry and just as much fun. Wa Jai and I have
always worked together very comfortably, maybe because we have known
each other for 40 years!" Lau Tak Wa said, "He is like a little
brother, we feel like family." Did he take care of Wai Jai? Wa Jai
joked, "He had it great, everyone took great care of him!" They both
started from the TVB training class, knew each other since they were
young. Over the years when they worked together they would
instinctively get what the other would do, as soon as they took their
mark they would click. Wai Jai stated that he and Wa Jai had great
chemistry. "We already became good friends when we worked together
on our first television series. Maybe since we already knew each other
when we were very young, we have built a great relationship; we really
trust each other, so on the set we have great chemistry. We don't need
time to get in gear, when we get to the set we are ready."
Wa Jai also agreed, "In addition we were used to work
together for TVB anniversary. Back then with the Five Tigers
everyone would think for each other, would show the others at their
best. Whoever had any flaw we would help hide it. Also maybe we
constantly had to perform on programs, we really needed everyone to
have chemistry. Like riding a bicycle, I really remember when I did
I looked amazing, but looking back now actually......" Wai Jai
immediately said, "Very immature!" Wa Jai agreed and cracked up, "It's
because some time has passed, the trust between people ultimately would
require experience and time."
Working together again this time, did they talk about the good
old days on their free time? Wai Jai said no, but the most memorable
was working on the series DUKE OF MOUNT DEER because he and Wa Jai were
together for 6 months. Although the production was rough, it was also
a lot of fun. Working together again this time, during the performance
did they feel the other has changed any habit? Wai Jai said, "I
believed all actors would do the research and design how they would
perform, this wouldn't change; the change would be being more mature,
whether in life experience and personal experience, even performance
skills. I also naturally feel his performance whether in emotion or
looks would be much richer. So our every scenes could be done as soon
as we took our marks." Wa Jai also said that for parts of the script
they would perform more in depth, but like the courtroom scene the
script didn't write what expression it wanted. "Wai Jai however was
able to achieve several state of mind to interpret the trial process,
so I really enjoyed every scene!"
Wai Jai this time played the villain and said that his acting
bug got its fill. "I have never been so arrogant, so wild, so high
spirited, I wouldn't be like that. It's impossible in normal
life. I haven't played this type of character either, but it wasn't
hard to grasp. Instead I was able to go even further. Director
Chong Man Keung designed several scenes that were more cartoonish,
making my blatant lies stand out." Was he good at lying? Wai Jai
thought for awhile before saying, "I am good at coaxing people! They
are lies of good intention." Actors all said that villains had more
potential, was playing the good guy very hard for Wa Jai this time?
Wa Jai said, "I don't know if it was hard or not. The character in
the film had an immature perseverance, but Wai Jai's performance helped
me. Because of his arrogance and bravado, I (the character) felt
that society shouldn't have this type of person. The persistence was
founded, so my good guy character would be performed with a very
stereotypical state of mind."
In the film Wa Jai had a thrilling car crash scene with his
family of four. Wa Jai pointed out that it looked dangerous but
actually the shoot was not, because action director Chin Kar Lok did
everything to their fullest. "If it's dangerous I wouldn't do it!"
Wai Jai joked, "All the dangerous stuff are kept from you! If you get
hurt then we don't have to shoot."
Wai Jai said that many factors drew him to perform in THE
GOLDFINGER, because this time was a character he has never played
before. He also really wanted to work with Wa Jai again, and the
INFERNAL AFFAIRS (MO GAN DOH) team reunited to shoot another subject.
Then he agreed without any further consideration.
Wai Jai earlier has said that he had baggage when he act now,
unlike when he made POLICE CADET and he was able to play anything. Now
would he need to gauge a lot more so doing what he wanted would be
more difficult? Wai Jai admitted that when he took roles he would not,
because when he felt the story and the character were interesting he
would take them. However during production the pressure would come.
"However as the shoot goes on and confidence is established everything
would be much better, early in the performance I really would be
apprehensive and uncertain about how to perform." Wa Jai on the other
hand used to have baggage but now no longer. Did he carry the idol
baggage before? Wa Jai said, "I am still an idol now! I would feel
that now the market has more confidence in me. I used to think aside
from the word 'idol' I would think of many other, which kept me from
perfect control. Now I feel the market's trust in me is higher, I can
have more choices; just like when I want to work with Wai Jai again,
because when I act with him I can sense that he really trusts in my
performance. I too would in particular perform freely in front of
him."
Wa Jai once said that he planned to direct, would he ask Wai
Jai to star? Wa Jai said, "Even if I ask him I would have to follow
the regular process and have a script." However they still wanted to
keep working together, but they did not hope to wait for another 20
years. Wa Jai said, "We have an agreement that next time we would
have to be on the same side." Wai Jai also said, "I want to work
together again, but I haven't had any idea about what to play. We
would be partners!"
Speaking of Wa Jai playing many biographical films, Wai Jai
in comparison has made less. Do they actually get originally created
or biographical characters? Wai Jai said that with actual character
the performance area would be easier. He would not feel that he was
being restricted either, because director Chong Man Keung wanted him
to inject more imagination. "Actually the actual character doesn't
have too much information, the person is a mystery. Some says that he
is very low key, so I have to come up with a lot myself. Whether the
performance is like this I don't dare to be certain." Wa Jai felt that
actual characters were better. Created characters had to be designed
anew, but research could be found in real life. "Actually my character
is an actual character. In order to arrest this person he never takes
a promotion, for over a decade he clamps down on this person and never
lets go."
Speaking of the two playing their roles to old age, Wa Jai
grew old but Wai Jai remained young. Wai Jai joked, "Chong Man Keung
said that people with money wouldn't get old, because they have a lot
of nourishment." Wa Jai said that originally he could appear young
as well, but the character spent every day on this case and swore to
capture Wai Jai for over a decade. Thus he would deliberately be a
little older.
The film had many stock speculation scenes. Wai Jai said that
in real life what he knew was only skin deep. After the director
finished explanation he only knew enough to perform. After the shoot
did he have any interest in stocks? Wai Jai said, "I have no interest
in this, after the shoot I got even more scared. Actually it's so
complicated." Wa Jai admitted that he hs never bought one share of
stock, in 2000 when technology stock rose like Golden Harvest going
public he never bought a share. "Because I don't know how to invest,
everything is for personal use. Even homes I don't buy that many."
Wa Jai invested in film before? He sighed, "Sigh! You brought up
the most painful part!"
