The movie CESIUM FALLOUT (FUN SING) told the story of how a group of heroic firefighters fought the fire and saved people under the threat of radiation. The scenes were both shocking and touching. In the film Gardner Tse Kwan Ho (Brother Ho), Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Fish Liew Chi Yu and Leung Chung Hang were on the same elite firefighting team. Tse Kwan Ho played a firefighter who was about to retire. This time he worked with a group of young people and Brother Ho was very happy. He said that the team first arranged for them to "team-build" before filming. The group, like going to training camp, first started playing volleyball and campfire party to get to know and connect with each other. There everyone were able introduce themselves and communicate with each other, then they moved to the fire station for training. Brother Ho wore the golden armor despite the scorching heat, walking so fast with an oxygen tank like he was flying. His physical fitness was better than the younger guys. He praised Ngai Chun Sun for being smart, humble, polite, and eagar to ask questions. The two of them were very compatible.

Brother Ho said with a smile that the training was not too strenuous. Even when he had to wear the golden armor, a radiation-proof robe, and even an oxygen tank he was able to take it. "However it was a bit hard at the beginning, especially when I had to roll up the fire hose. After I finished rolling it, I sat down and felt like vomiting. I was so hot and dehydrated that I almost went into shock!" They had many scenes in and out of fires. Brother Ho said that only some of them used real fire, and the raging fires, explosions, the burning following the camera would not be too close. Before entering the fire scene, they must also take adequate safety measures; but they would feel the heat at the fire scene. When fighting the fire, it would burn in front of them. Just the the super explosive scene and the crushing container scene were computer generated special effects.

Playing the role of a firefighter for the first time, Jeffrey found it very interesting. In one of the scenes an explosion took place on several floors of containers, His life was saved thanks to Brother Ho pulling a rope, but he had to hang upside down for a long time and felt like blood was rushing to his head. "For the scene I hung upside down for 45 minutes. Of course I was pulled up in the middle, and I wasn't even very scared with the wires. At that time I was focused on the performance and the filming was going smoothly, but my fire helmet fell off and covered up my face so the scene had to shot again. Actually my appearance doesn't really matter to me!" Brother Ho immediately scolded him and said that since he was the appearance asset his face was very important. Jeffrey said frankly that he used to do comedies, this was his first serious drama and he was lucky enough to meet Brother Ho. "I particularly admire Brother Ho. Everyone with golden armors were so heavy and stuffy. Everyone after wearing them for 20 minutes had to remove them to breathe a little then took our places again, but Brother Ho moved so quickly and ran so fast with the oxygen bottle on his back. I have been working out at the gym, but when I saw him even I was like, 'Wow' and thought he was so awesome!" Brother Ho said modestly, "I too have been working out. Earlier I also have had training because the shoot was really exhausting, I spent several months shooting at the container yard and recycling yard during the hottest period." Brother Ho also returned the favor andd praise Jeffrey for being very sharp for his age. Since the two of them had the most scenes opposite each other, they were arranged to do "team building" together and began to introduce themselves to each other. Brother Ho said, "I tried my best to talk about my resume as briefly as possible, and we got to know each other gradually. He was great at chatting, so it's easy to get along." Jeffrey also said with a smile that he introduced himself, "Brother Ho is the same age as my old man, he is very approachable. When you really want to ask a question seriously, Brother Ho is also very serious to answer you. I had a crying scene and I asked him for advice, he spent 45 minutes talking to me on the phone in great detail." To be able to have a drama lesson with Brother Ho, he stated that he made a huge profit. Brother Ho also said that Jeffrey really liked to ask questions and talk to people. Seeing that he was so smart, he helped him. "I saw that he was very good friends with other seniors, he could really BS!" Jeffrey explained that firefighting was about teamwork, it would be better if everyone got to know each other a little better. Brother Ho agreed that their team spirit was not "acted", "It was all thanks to the early 'team building' process and all the BS during the shoot, we BS'ed everyday until dark. We talked about anything and everything." Did Jeffrey talk about girls? They all said in unison that they only talked about "Sun Yat-sen".

Speaking of the three firefighters Tse Kwan Ho, Bai Yu and Jeffrey's fate at the end of the film, Brother Ho said that when he first read the script, he questioned whether it was necessary. However he asked real firefighters, who also said that if this happened they would all really stepped in to help because this is really the spirit of a firefighter. Brother Ho also explained, "In the end, even Jeffrey stepped in to help. In the scene he didn't even know that his fate would be certain, so it makes sense."

Wong Dan Nei said that in the film she plays a female firefighter, she had to have the same physical fitness as the boys. Thus she had to work hard. She previously participated in the crew arranged "team building". In addition to playing volleyball, she also went to the fire station to receive special training and lessons on using firefighting tools. They practiced for about a month. She revealed that she had to leap out when filming the explosion scene. Because her character was an officer and her persobalithy also refused to admit defeat, when she saw everyone in heavy equipment running and jumping, she had to be able do it too. Of course she was injured and bruised. Wong Dan Nei recalled a scene in which a container exploded as she climbed down a rope, and she was terrified. "During the explosion I was holding a rope and had to swing out and back again. I had to muster up my courage to react. In fact, it was so scary and I had to overcome the fear."

Leung Chung Hang said that it is indeed difficult to run wearing the golden armor, but his physical fitness has improved after doing it everyday. Among the male firefighters, he was the only one who has to learn to open a street well, which was also difficult and required physical strength. It also required skills. At first I was frightened and I did not know if I could do it. I was even hoisted up to the third floor. Fortunately I was able to overcome it in the end. Leung Chung Hang pointed out that in fact, the fire scene was shot with half-real and half-fake fire, but it was not as dangerous as he thought. However because it was filmed in midsummer, he felt bloated when he started working and felt shrunken by the end of the day. Wong Dan Nei joked that once after filming she was able to pour out the sweat by removing her shoes. Leung Chung Hang said that one day he wore an oxygen mask and an oxygen bottle for an all day real fire shoot. He felt a little dizzy and unwell, and the another firefighter Wesley Wong Hoi Kit even suffered from heat stroke.

When Liew Chi Yu first took the script, she thought that playing the role of a firefighter would be great for her to be stylish and cool, and she could take this opportunity for her muscle training. However because in the film she ended up playing desk job firefighter, she did not have the opportunity to enter a fire scene in the film. She did not have to participate in the training; but when she only played on high altitude rope training in a team-building game, she was so scared that she cried. She chuckled bitterly and said, "I am afraid of heights. The high-altitude rope training was conducted on a rooftop more than ten stories high that required climbing two or three more stories. Everyone had to. I saw Wong Dan Nei climb so fast and so quickly so I went up!" Wong Dan Nei said with a smile, "I was actually very surprised, but I wanted to show that I was Madam so I climbed up quickly. Everyone thought I was so relaxed." Fish said with lingering fear, "I thought at the time, we are both girls so there should be no problem. When I got up the stairs, I had to climb down the rope. When I stepped over, I felt that something was wrong. I thought to myself this time I can't do it! My life was over, but everyone said below, "You can do it" so I climbed over the two ropes amid the encouragement." Fish said that after seeing the finished product, she really wanted to try to be a firefighter because you only live once. She really wanted to rush into the fire, and the feeling would be so heroic.

Louis Koo is indeed a big brother in the film industry. When he saw the Hong Kong film market was in trouble, he immediately stepped in to save it.

In the past the Lunar New Year has been very busy for movies in Hong Kong, and a date film companies would fight over. Like TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM) and CHILLI LAUGH STORY (HOP GA LAT), there were three or four Hong Kong Lunar New Year movies released at the same time and their box office results also drew much attention; but currently the film market has declined sharply, and there is a lack of investors amid the continued downturn. Reportedly there would only be a few Hong Kong Lunar New Year films next year, one of which would be a new film with the TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) team. Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin would collaborate with Louis Cheung Kai Chung in another new movie to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming would team up with goddesses Samantha Ko Hoi Ning, DaDa Chan Jing and others to teach everyone how to chase girls with a large number of stars in support of the film to celebrate the New Year.

In the past, film companies usually would be busy preparing to start production on Lunar New Year films during the summer vacation in August and September. However the recent situation in the Hong Kong film industry has been dire, so far no Lunar New Year film has officially started production. Even the "Lunar New Year Heavenly Queen" Sandra Ng Kwan Yu has no works this year. At the beginning of the year she revealed that she would make a movie about playing mahjong, which she planned to start production this year and hoped to become a Lunar New Year movie in 2025. However she later said that the script was not good enough, so she would not consider it yet; as for another Lunar New Year film starring guy group MIRROR members Edan Lui Cheuk On, it has also announced earlier that it would be postponed.

In the critical situation where there would be no Hong Kong Lunar New Year films, two film companies have finally stepped in to rescue the market recently. One would be a One Cool Film and Entertaining Power invested, ROB N ROLL (LIM SI GIP ONG) director Albert Mak Kai Kwong directed film. Koo Tin Lok recently while attending a TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) event also hinted that the original cast would shoot a new film with a few action scenes, but it would not be about the Walled City at all. Actually the new film he mentioned turned out to be one of the Lunar New Year films next year.

According to insiders, this Lunar New Year film in addition to the original cast of Koo Tin Lok and the "Four Songs of the Walled City": Raymond Lam Fung, Philip Ng Won Lung, Tony Wu Tsz Tung and German Cheung Man Kit, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Gigi Leung Wing Kei, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Peter Chan Charm Man and others would join the strong lineup. Although Koo Tin Lok and Sister Na have collaborated many times, people would never get tired of this combination of handsome men and beautiful women and still look forward to it; Wong Dan Nei attended an event a few days ago and also leaked that the new movie that will start filming next week would be in more of a rush, but because of confidentiality she could not reveal anything yet. When asked if she would make a Lunar New Year film, she continued to keep her lips sealed and said, "I didn't say it, you guessed it. (Which actors would you work with?) Some people that no one can guess. If they were so easily guessed, the audience would feel the lack of freshness." Earlier director Mak Kai Kwong stated that this would not be a Lunar New Year film, but due to the lack of Hong Kong Lunar New Year films next year it was asked to answer the call. The film would be expected to start production within a few days, but in order to be released before the Lunar New Year on January 29th, 2025 the production would be really hurried.

Reportedly the LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO) producer Ng Kin Hung would direct another Lunar New Year film. The film would be about gambling. For now the cast would include Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin and Louis Cheung Kai Chung. The film company hoped to start filming this month, so that it would be able to make the Lunar New Year release in time. Both films would be shot in Hong Kong and Macau.

As for the Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum) directed Lunar New Year film, its subjects would mainly be mahjong, chasing girls and crazy comedy. It would feature Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming, Samantha Ko Hoi Ning, DaDa Chan Jing, Carlos Chan Ka Lok and others, and guest stars would as as numberous as a galaxy. It would not bring joy to Hong Kong, but also cheer on filmmakers. Reportedly the filming started yesterday, and everyone would show up to announce the details within days. One of the lead actresses Chan Jing replied yesterday, "This is my first time working with Director Yip. I was born in the Year of the Snake and making a film to celebrate the Year of the Snake. I think it is very meaningful."

In the film, she would play a couple with Chan Ka Lok, but as it turned out the two did not know each other beforehand. Ka Lok said with a smile, "Our first official meeting was on the day we met at the director's company to talk about the movie. This time I would play a popular artist. Lately at home I have been beigning her movies like crazy for research." Ma Kwok Ming joked that he will do his best this time. "I am very happy to be able to participate in the performance. I hope the audience would be happy from coming to see the movie."

The Hong Kong film market has been bleak. Even during the Lunar New Year there has been almost no Hong Kong-produced Lunar New Year films, causing major headaches for major film companies. In recent years many Hong Kong artists such as Anita Yuen Wing Yee, Bobby Auyeung Chun Wa and Philip Keung Ho Man have gone to Malaysia to make movies. Earlier a film company has proposed using a Malaysian film for a Hong Kong Lunar New Year film, but there was a lot of opposition because it was not produced locally. In the end, two film companies stepped in to support the Lunar New Year schedule and hoped to tide over this difficult period with everyone.

DEI YUK) has been scheduled to be released on November 14th. Hui Koon Man and Michelle played father and daughter in the film, in order to interpret her role that has been working in the family chanting business for generations, Michelle received related special training as long with Hui Koon Man and Tommy Chu Pak Hong. She not only had to learn the skills of holding white flags, but also had to master many complex movements in the hell-breaking ritual, including sword playing, sword throwing and scripture recitation, etc.

Michelle revealed that while working out at the gym, other people would listen to music but she listened to the scriptures. She exercised as as recited them. She admitted that the most difficult thing was throwing the sword, and she almost disfigured herself. "The sword is pretty heavy for me, once after I threw the sword and the tip of the sword went straight toward my face. I blocked it with one arm and it busted open. I still have a scar now. If I couldn't block it in time, the sword might have fallen on my face. Fortunately, I reacted quickly." Despite the tedious movements and hard training, Michelle never gave up. Her professionalism and dedicated attitude made the director proud. The two lead actors Hui Koon Man and Tze Wah were also moved. Tze Wah even praised, "One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage."

THE LAST DANCE has already attracted attention from many overseas film festivals before it was released. The director and Michelle recently went to Hawaii to attend the 44th Hawaii International Film Festival, where they attended the world premiere and a series of events. Michelle said nervously, "It's the first time I watched THE LAST DANCE on the big screen. The happiest thing is that I met so many Hong Kong people. They said getting tickets was very hard." After the movie screening, the audience applauded one after another. Viewers even asked the director and Michelle for photos; and some audience members even praised Michelle's performance for reaching the Best Actor level, which moved her deeply.

[2024.10.12] LING MAN LUNG, LIN MINCHEN TRY TO BRING ATTENTION TO RARE DISEASE PATIENTS

Lin Minchen did all her homework beforehand to play the role well

In the film Lin Minchen and Ling Man Lung support each other

Last year the Malaysian goddess Lin Minchen took a role in a movie based on a true story, hoping that the public would pay attention to rare diseases. Since the production cost budget was minimal, she and the other lead Ling Man Lung both kept their salaries friendly and even made sufficient preparations in advance like meeting the real life protagonist who suffered from a rare disease, Simon. Unfortunately, he passed away before the movie was released, which made Lin Minchen and Ling Man Lung very sad!

Lin Minchen has always been pretty and kind-hearted. Last year, she, Ling Man Lung and Rachel Leung Yung Ting took part in the movie WISH COMES TRUE (BA HUNG FOOK LAI KUN YUT DIM) . The film was adapted from a real life story and told the relationship between a patient with the rare genetic disease Kennedy's disease and a Malaysian girl.

The reason for starting production on the movie was the hope that people would pay more attention to patients with rare diseases, which was very meaningful. Reportedly Lin Minchen and Ling Man Lung both accepted their roles at a friendly price. The movie had to have additional shoots last year due to various problems, but they worked on their schedule without saying a word or charging extra pay. They were very direct and also took the time to research beforehand. They even had dinner with the real life version of the film's protagonist Simon to understand the story better. Unfortunately, Simon passed away due to illness at the end of last year and was unable to see the film in the end. Lin Minchen and Ling Man Lung were both deeply saddened, and Ling Man Lung even went to the mourning hall to pay his respects in person.

The film has been scheduled to be released on the 24th of this month, and a movie poster and trailer have been released. In the trailer Ling Man Lung is not afraid of illness and faces the challenges of life with a strength and determination, while Lin Minchen plays a lively and optimistic woman who provides massage therapy for Ling Man Lung. The two went from being strangers to supporting each other, the process of which was full of laughter and tears. Once the winner of the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best New Actor, Ling Man Lung once again challenged a difficult role this time. He had to sit in a wheelchair for most of the film, which put his acting skills to the test.

Actresses Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Louise Wong Dan Nei attended a brand event in Tsim Sha Tsui the night before. They both wore flat bottom shoes for the appearance. Wong Dan Nei bluntly said that because she was tall, she preferred to wear flat bottom shoes. She also revealed that she often wore high-heeled shoes because of her modeling work, but there have been many accidents like getting the heels stuck in gaps, spraining her leg, and falling down going up the stairs. "The most serious time was years ago at a major show for a label, everyone sitting in the front row were celebrity guests. In front of them I fell flat on my face in the middle of the catwalk. Everyone wanted to help me up, but I was actually able to stand up, turn around gracefully, successfully make the save and continue to complete the performance. The entire audience applauded." In addition to falling down, Wong Dan Nei said that she had to hold a pair of high heels to walk the catwalk due to shoe problems. After she made the switch to film she never modeled again. She admitted that she has been invited, but she wanted to focus on making movies and turned down the offers.

Wong Dan Nei also took part in the movie CESIUM FALLOUT (FUN SING), which would be released soon. She revealed that her role this time was a very tough firefighter. In addition to leading a team of subordinates in the rescue, she also had many action scenes like explosions and fire. She hoped the audience would like it. As for her new movie that would begin production next week, she said that due to confidentiality she could not reveal anything yet. When reporters speculated that it would be a Lunar New Year movie, she laughed and said, "I didn't say that, everyone guessed. (Who else would be in it?) Co-stars that everyone wouldn't expect. This way is pretty fun too; if they are too easy to guess, the audience would feel the lack of freshness. Hong Kong films now have different genres, and a lot of freshness. I hope everyone would go to the movies and support Hong Kong films."

Yu Heung Ying also said when attending grand events in the future wearing flats would be the best. Yu Heung Ying felt that flats were the most comfortable and revealed that normally when she went out to dinner with her husband she would mostly wear flats. She remembered that when she attended the Hong Kong Film Awards with a pregnant belly, she had to wear high heels because her dress was too long. Fortunately, her husband did not mind that she was taller than him. She said, "My husband said the most important thing is that I am beautiful. Wearing high heels can highlight the charm of a woman, but I look good wearing flats too because my legs are long enough. He is very honest, but occasionally he would say something sweet."

Yu Heung Ying and Fish Liew Chi Yu have collaborated on a movie together after 8 years and just wrapped up production. She said that they have a perfect understanding of each other this time and did not need to warm up. They performed very calmly. "Eight years ago, when we and the director worked together on SISTERHOOD (GWUT MUI) we were all pretty new. After filming, the road ahead was uncertain and I didn't know if there would be another one. I was very lucky to receive the love of everyone, before I know it everyone have already made a lot of movies. Now I have another chance to work with Liew Chi Yu again. The movie would have a kiss scene, but I can't say anything about any bed scene yet." As for future work, she said that she has already accepted a new movie role, next month she would have to leave Hong Kong and even miss her wedding anniversary. She joked that she hopes her husband would come find her and give her a surprise. "Actually I am very conflicted, on one hand I don't want to leave home for too long, but the script and the team is great. Finally I decided to perform." Before leaving Hong Kong, Yu Heung Ying would try to make up for it at home as she would spend more time with her children. She has already planned a lot of activities and would place small gifts for the children to "treasure hunt" to cheer them up and let them know that their mother would miss them.
