Earlier some online were upset at TVB news' handling
of the Extradition Bill storm and started a "star chasing movement"
against TVB artists at event. When TVB news went to cover stories they
were also hindered. Their news vehicle windows were broken. CEO Lee Bo
On issued a notice to employed artists and stressed that the News
department remained neutral in its reporting.
Recently many suspected TVB 2019 and 202 employee identification
appeared online with notes like "TVB inaccurate reporting". TVB
responded, "Without any name how do we respond?"
On the other hand, the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild, the Hong
Kong Screenwriters' Association yesterday issued a statement about the
violent attack at the Yuen Long light rail station and the victims not
receiving any police assistance in a timely fashion. Both associations
expressed extreme anger and listed demands of "stop white terror,
establish an independent investigation committee immediately, clearly
withdraw of the extradition bill".
"This organization urges the Special Administrative Region
government to immediately establish an independent investigation for
the truth of various disputes over the past months, to return justice
for all and settle public rage. This organization also urges the Chief
Executive to immediately according to the Legislative Council meeting
rules to use the word withdraw to terminate the bill and end all dispute
over wording. Political problems should be politically resolve. This
organization looks forward to the Chief Executive, the SAR government
and the Hong Kong Police to get back on track of servicing the citizens."
The Emperor Motion Picture RAGING FIRE (NO FOR) is Benny
Chan Muk Sing directed, Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Nicholas Tse Ting Fung
starred. Earlier a production start ceremony took place at the Quarry
Bay studio's Peking Street set. Attending actors including producer and
action director Yen Chi Tan, Tse Ting Fung, Kathy Yuen (Tong Yi), Jeana Ho
Pui Yu, Deep Ng Ho Hong, Kenny Wong Tak Bun, Lam Kwok Bun, Patrick Tam
Yiu Man and others; Yen Chi Tan exchanged fire with Ting Fung in a
series of gun fights, everyday they ran up the gun cost to several
hundred thousand. In addition the temperature reached 33 degree Celsius
on the production start day, which added fuel to the fire and set off
a lot of spark!
Emperor Group chief Dr. Albert Yeung Sau Sing personally visited
the set. Not only did he bring an ice cream truck for the team but
also enjoyed director Chan Muk Sing's expertise of action scenes. Boss
Yeung praised the two lead actors Yen Chi Tan and Tse Ting Fung. "Their
performance is outstanding!" Chi Tan and Ting Fung were well coordinated
during the interview as they kept handing the microphone to each other.
"We are in a 40,000 foot outdoor area, a set of Tsim Sha Tsui's Peking
Road and Canton Road has been constructed here, which is very rare.
Aside from studio set we will also shoot on location. Some of the
scenes will truly take place on Peking Road. Getting approval is very
hard! It has been very hard to see in Hong Kong film in recent years."
Including RAGING FIRE, Director Chan Muk Sing has already worked
with Ting Fung on over 5 films. However he and Chi Tan have worked
together before as well. Chi Tan said, "Ting Fung and I haven't worked
together for over a decade. The last time was DRAGON TIGER GATE. Benny
is our buddy, RAGING FIRE is the first film Benny and I worked together
on. Earlier we worked together on series like REVENGE OF THE KUNG FU
MASTER and FIST OF FURY." Ting Fung said, "Wow! I used to watch them
but I didn't know, that's cool!" As for all the gun fires and bullets
in the film, Ting Fung said, "Hong Kong hasn't had a film that is on
full firepower for a very long time. For the past few days we used
nearly over 10,000 bullets on this scene. Everyday the gun charges
cost over several hundred thousand. In addition I have been studying
Lord Tan's films since I was little, to be able to work together again
I am very happy!" As for the stuntman car crash injury earlier, Chi Tan
and Ting Fung both personally visited the injured at the hospital and
saw that the stuntman was in good spirit. They wished him speedy
recovery.
Having made a lot of stunts in movies, Wong Tak Bun said, "This
film is the most explosive in my film career, and I also did some highly
difficult stunts!" For her first action film, Ho Pui Yu said that she
had a series of training before hand. "We were trained in different
types of guns to make the performance even more professional. In
addition we had to check the gun clearly before hand to be safe." Tam
Yiu Man did not regret not having any fight scene with Chi Tan this time.
"Last time in IP MAN 3 Lord Tan beat me up, this time the dramatic
scenes with him had great spark. He is also very demanding with his
dramatic scenes, which are very challenging!" Playing Ting Fung's
girlfriend in the film, Tong Yi practiced her guitar playing hard for
her character. Unfortunately in the end she did not have a chance to
perform in front of Ting Fung.

Simon Yam Tat Wa on the 20th was attacked at an event in
Zhongshan, where he was stabbed in the abdomen and injured four fingers.
After operations he returned to Hong Kong and checked into a hospital
for another operation. The procedure went smoothly and he went from the
ICU to the regular room. Manager Mani Fok Man Hei yesterday said that
Yam Tat Wa would be released from the hospital around 1PM today, when
Brother Wa would say a few words himself.
Yam Tat Wa appeared to be in a decent mood, as he held a bear
from his daughter to demonstrate his injury and updated his fans in a
cute way.
Simon Yam Tat Wa while attending an event in Zhongshan
last Saturday was attacked. After two days of rest, yesterday Brother
Wa's condition has stabilized. He has gone from the ICU to a regular
room. He even personally updated his status through social media and
text messages to the media and thanked everyone for their concern!
Manager Mani Fok Man Hei revealed that the operations were very
successful. Yam Ta Wa's recovery has also been decent. They would not
prosecute the culprit but would like to know what his motivation was.
Yam Tat Wa at an event in Zhongshan was stabbed in the left
abdomen on the stage, and as he dodged his right hand was slashed.
After being rushed to a local hospital immediately, he returned to Hong
Kong that night. After two operations, Brother Wa's condition has
stabilized. Yesterday he posted on social media for the first time
since his attack. "I am fine, thank you everyone." Brother Wa even
tagged his wife Qi Qi and paired it with a photo of a bear and flowers.
The doll probably came from his daughter Ella Yam Ching Kai.
Since Yam Tat Wa was injured, his wife Qi Qi has been by his side.
Yesterday afternoon Qi Qi was asked about Brother Wa's recovery as he
left the hospital. Qi Qi said that it has been very ideal. Yesterday
morning he has already switched from ICU to a regular room. She also
said that Brother Wa had a little appetite. "At noon he had something to
eat, everything went smoothly. Brother Wa asked everyone not to wait
anymore, because it would be very rough in the heat. He got all the
wishes and concern from everyone!" Qi Qi also pointed out that Brother
Wa wanted to thank his management company Emperor and boss Albert Yeung
Sau Sing. Everyone helped them with arranging everything, in particular
he wanted to answer the help from the medical staff.
When would Brother Wa be released from the hospital? Qi Qi said,
"I hope as soon as possible, but we will have to wait for the doctors to
decide. Brother Wa's recovery has been great and we can all relax.
Everything has gone very smoothly, I hope he will be able to go home a
little sooner!" Has Brother Wa wanted to be released sooner? Qi Qi
said, "No, he has to wait for the doctor's approval. Now he has switched
to a regular room he is very happy, as he is updating his friends on his
status." Has the event organizer made any response? Qi Qi said that
that was not her area and the management company would handle it. "I
have to give proper care to Brother Wa, I only want him to recover soon!"
Manager Mani added, "We won't pursue the Mainland event organizer, but
our company will reserve the right for third party compensation
professionally."
Artist Sammo Hung Kam Bo two nights ago attended the 3rd
Malaysia Golden Global Award two nights ago. He received the Lifetime
Achievement Awards from presenter Petrina Fung Bobo and happily embraced.
Once sworn to lose weight, Hung Kam Bo was obviously slimmer. He first
thanked the event for the award and joked that the film industry has
young fresh meat while he was "old fresh meat". The event showed
videos of his films. He admitted that he seemed to have worked for a
very long time but never thought about retiring. He said that he still
had decades of movies to make.
