The Radio and Television Hong Kong organized "47th Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs" award concert was held at the East Kowloon Cultural Centre Theatre on the 24th. This year the event with the theme "Entire City In Love" arranged for singers to interpret their award winning work in an all new "musical theater" format for the audience to diverse song style and creativity of Hong Kong Chinese popular music. Radio Hong Kong also announced that the "Top Ten Chinese Gold Song" would "break out of Hong Kong". In addition to bringing the award concert to the mainland for broadcasting, it would also hold the "Top 10 Chinese Gold Song -- Shanghai Gold Song Festival" in Shanghai to promote cross- regional cultural exchanges through music. In terms of female singers, Gin Lee Hung Ngai won four awards in one fell swoop and became the big winner. As for male singers, Jay Fung Wan Him and Terence Lam Ka Him also won four awards with the music composition award; one of which covered both performer and composition awards.

In addition to the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Algernon Yau Ying Wah, the guests attending the event included the Director of Broadcasting, Angelina Kwan Yuen Yee, the Chairman of the Composers an Authors Society of Hong Kong (CASH), Chan Wing Wah, the Chairman of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) Association (Hong Kong), Colin Cheung Kwok Lam, President of the Hong Kong Record Merchants Association, Mimi Chung Wai Wai, Director of the Hong Kong Office of Shanghai Media Group, Yu Hua, the Music Broadcasting Host of Beijing Radio and Television Station, Wang Jingyu, and the Manager of the Television Program Division of Teledifusao De Macau S.A., Leung Chi Yong.

Before the award presentation concert, some of the award-winning singers and units appeared for an event group photo, then the event held a souvenir presentation ceremony to present souvenirs to guests and representatives of supporting organizations.

The evening kicked off with an excerpt from the Hong Kong Dance Company's performance of "KUNG FU ARTISTRY", which used body language to interpret Bruce Lee's "No Way as Way", echoing the unique charm and vitality of the Hong Kong pop music scene. Afterwards, the officiating guest, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Yau Ying Wah, accompanied by nine winners of the "Excellent Pop Singer Award", presided over the launching ceremony of the musical theater, injecting momentum into the Gold Song concert and sending love to the whole city through musical notes.

Different from the previous format, Radio Hong Kong began to present some awards one after another last month. The "CASH Best Creative Singer Award", "Best Chinese Record Award", "Global Chinese Supreme Gold Song Award" and "Best Male/Female Pop Singer Award" were announced yesterday. Winning the Top Ten Chinese Gold Song Award for LOVE SURVIVAL GUIDE, James Ng Yip Kwan admitted that he would leave the record company during his performance on stage and said that he was attending the awards ceremony as a TMG (TVB Music Group) singer for the last time. After winning the award, Ng Yip Kwan said in an interview that he still had a contract with Shaw Brothers and TVB, but his contract with TMG has expired. He has decided not to renew the contract, and planned to release new songs in the form of self- financing. Currently he first had to learn how to be an independent singer. "I have to handle the song copyrights and the matter of starting a company. This year I want to be a little rebellious, and try what completely owning the song right feels like. I am a big boy now, if I am not willful once it would be too late. My wife knows about my ideas. Originally we wanted to move to a bigger place, but right now we are saving up 'ammo'. We shouldn't be so frivolous. (How much ammo do you have?) I saved up 6 figure." They have decided to continue to live in their Tuen Mun love nest for awhile and would rather save up the money they would have spent dining out for music videos. When asked if any other company has beckoned to him, he admitted that he has not yet had contact with other record companies. He also complained about "not knowing how expensive rice is". "I have discussed with a producer that actually making a song is 20 to 30% more than expected. Right now I just found out that making music video requires paying royalty." He revealed that he has received some demos so far, but he would choose very carefully to ensure accuracy before releasing the first song. Janice Vidal (Wai Lan) has just celebrated her 44th birthday. She said that winning an award was one of the best birthday gifts, but what makes her even happier was being able to meet singers she has not seen in a long time. Recently touring in the mainland, Janice has planned to hold the final leg of the tour at the Hong Kong Coliseum at the end of the year and planned to invite her former boss Leon Lai Ming as a guest. She also stated that she wanted to date, but her friends all thought that she already had an significant other so she lacked suitors.

In order to further promote Cantonese music outside Hong Kong, Radio Hong Kong will not only invite Shanghai Media Group China Dragon TV as the exclusive television media partner in the Mainland to broadcast this year's awards concert, but also hold the "Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs - Shanghai Gold Song Festival" in Shanghai, including the RTHK Vinyl Pop Up and the Cantopop Party, etc., to enhance the status of local pop music in the Chinese-speaking music scene, use music to tell Hong Kong stories and promote cultural exchanges.

This year's awards concert was ingeniously designed, and RTHK invited musical director Tom Chan Yan Shek as the creative consultant to connect the "Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs" and the songs of guest performers Mike Tsang Pei Tat and Phil Lam Yik Hong in the form of "Musical Theater" to weave together six story chapters: "First Sight", "Confused", "Then", "Flame Break", "Imprint" and "Unknown". The highest honor, the "Golden Needle Award", was awarded to the musician Lowell Lo Koon Ting. He performed a number of classics, demonstrating the outstanding strength of a pioneer singer and film score master.

The CASH Best Creative Singer Gold Prize went to Lam Ka Him. He happily said, "This is the first time I won this award. Thank you to singers who like my creations and my family." He also won Excellent Pop singer and Gold Song with APRIL WHISPERS. Because he composed APRIL WHISPHERS he had 4 awards total. He said that last year he created an album he was very pleased with, fortunately it was sold out. "The album had a hidden track WHENEVER CHANGE HAPPENS. I want to thank Mr. Lo Kwok Jim. It was his work from around 50 years ago. Listening to it again 50 years later I still feel it is very touching and very great. Thank you to the singers, fans and family who like the album." Lam Ka Him was in a rush to return home and feed the dog, so he was sorry that he was unable to speak with the media. Silver prize recipient Fung Wan Him said, "This year is my 15th anniversary in the business. I am very happy to be able to work on a job I like: singing, composing and creating. I am the luckiest to have your (fans) support." Sweeping up 4 awards including the CASH Best Creative Singer and Excellent Pop Singer, he joked about not being able to win the Most Excellent Pop Singer Award, "Don't be too greedy in life, work hard and try again next year!" When asked how he would celebrate, Fung Wan Him answer, "I used to go home and have a burger, but I just got back from Canada and ate a lot. While working on a commercial I kept eating, so I really am a little fatter. The company told me to lose weight. (Do you have any plan to your 15th anniversary in the business?) I would probably celebrate with fans.

The event this year broke the tradition and brought out award winning singer in a musical format. The Most Improved Silver prize recipient Ashley Lin (Lam Hoi Ling) appeared in eye catching blue. The Most Promising Rookie silver prize recipient Amy Lo Wai Man appeared in a cowboy look. Yanting Chau dressed up like a race car driver and rapped the "Excellent Chinese Pop Song" GAME ON with endless cheer from the audience. "Best Band/Group" bronze prize girl group COLLAR only sent Sumling Li, Winka Chan and Gao Sham Ching Hau to represent them but received great treatment from the organizer RTHK as each got to appear on the stage for a solo performance. They said that other group mates had work and were unable to join them. Winka Chan earlier performed with boyfriend Chu Wan Pin for the first time, fortunately they did not argue. Her boyfriend was the organizer, so she joked that she had class concept and gave him a little respect.

MC Cheung Tin Fu was unable to attend but sent a video to share his feeling. "Thank you to every fan and listener who voted for me, every one of your vote has given me this award. Thank you to the behind the scene team for their effort, because this award is equivalent to everyone's recognition and is the greatest achievement. I am sorry I can't accept this award in person and witness this joyous event. In the coming days, I hope to be like this album title SWEET AND SOUR. Maintaining the tradition while being able to immerse in innovative style, I look forward to everyone's continuing support for me."

Lee Hung Ngai after winning the Most Excellent Female Pop Singer she was very happy, especially winning her first Best Chinese Record Female Singer. She has wanted this award for a long time already, hoped to be continue to work hard, be able to win the Best Record Award and continue to be "Goldy".

75 year old Lo Koon Ting received the Golden Needle award from Selina Chow Liang Shuk Yee. "Thank you very much to Radio Hong Kong for giving me this honor of the 'Golden Needle Award'. I feel I am very lucky to be able to choose music as my lifelong professional, and to have a good wife to accompany me on every step on the life journey. Without Tong Shu Sum I wouldn't be receiving this award. Thank you fans, I will continue to work hard because chasing dreams has no age limit. Miracles would definitely continue to appear." He at the "music theater" 5th chapter performed with a guitar MAY PEOPLE ENDURE, WALK WITH YOU and SKY BIRD.

Yanting Chau recently promoted his new song DESTINED LOVER, has been suspected of promoting with an intimate photo with music video co-star Jace Chan Hoi Wing, led to suspicions of publicize a romance, and disappointed many fans who dubbed him "Market Ting". Last night he said through Public Relations that he had several allergy and did not speak to the media.

CONSTANCE (Chan Hong Tai) received the Most Promising Rookie gold prize. Earlier she was rumored to be in love with tennis player Coleman Wong Chak Lam. When asked how she would celebrate with her boyfriend, she indirectly admitted the relationship. "Boyfriend isn't in Hong Kong, but later would probably watch the replay. (Is he competing overseas?) Yes." They each were working hard on their own? She nodded and smiled sweetly, "yes!"

Singer Cloud Wan Ho Ying won the "Excellent Pop Singer Award" at the "47th Top Ten Chinese Gold Song Awards Concert" and performed ACROPHOBIA. In order to promote her new album "Silver Lining", she recently held the "Cloud's Silver Lining Trip Concert" at Central. More than 300 fans sat on the "Little Cloud Carpet" on the ground to support her.

She asked fans at the event: "Are you nervous? I'm so nervous, I'm a 'P person'. As a tour guide, I'm nervous for everyone!" When she covered Fiona Sit Hoi Kei's BETTER ME, Cloud sentimentally said, "No matter what you do right or wrong, there is a reason. I hope everyone wakes up every morning like me with a new version of themselves." She said in an interview, "I'm worried about whether this idea works or not? Listening to it with headphones will be very detailed and magnify the flaws." Yet after appearing on the stage, she felt relieved after feeling the energy and reaction of the audience.

Since the release of the movie NIGHT KING (YEH WONG), its box office has repeatedly reached new heights. As of 8 pm on April 23rd, its box office has exceeded about HK$112 million. In order to celebrate the good results, a celebration banquet was held in Tsim Sha Tsui the night before. Director Jack Ng Wai Ln attended with Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Dee Ho Kai Wah, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip, Sumling Li, Mandy Tam Man Huen, Louise Wong Dan Nei and other actors. Ng Wai Lun said on stage that NIGHT KING was only a few hundred thousand away from surpassing TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) at the box office and jump to the third place in the Hong Kong Chinese box office list. Wong Tze Wah joked that the director came to "raise funds" and presented a lighter that he has collected for many years to cheer the director on.

Ng Wai Lun and Wong Tze Wah both expressed their delight at the success of NIGHT KING, which was only one step away from breaking the record of A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG). Becoming the box office guarantee in recent years, Wong Tze Wah admitted that he did not expect the box office to be so eye-catching. He said with a smile that if NIGHT KING would successfully reach third place, he would be "running" the top three Chinese film box office in Hong Kong. As for whether he intended to challenge the first place THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK), he responded humorously, "After breaking one dose after another, don't be too greedy. Earlier a master has predicted that we would have a chance." Speaking of whether they would do more to increase the box office, he laughed and said that he did not know what else could be done. He pointed out that many reviews thought that the director's cut was better than the Lunar New Year version, so they let the work speak for itself. Ng Wai Lun laughed and said that if another extended version was to be released, the audience might be upset. He also emphasized that the director's cut was very close to the original script and was the version he was most satisfied with. When would the new film start production? Wong Tze Wah rushed to answer, "Save it for discussion at tonight's celebration. Back then at A GUILTY CONSCIENCE's celebration everyone got drunk and casually spoke, in the end after all the talk we made NIGHT KING."

Sammi Cheng Sau Man would perform concerts at the Kai Tak Stadium. Wong Tze Wah once said that he would consider singing and dancing as a guest. Two nights ago he said that the situation forced him to say that. He did not know whether work would prevent him from supporting her show yet. "I am demanding of myself, but I know that I would definitely sing off key and off beat, dance like I am falling away, and practicing the guitar requires time."

Regarding Yeung Sze Wing's passion scene with Ho Kai Wah and Henry Chan in the director's cut, Ng Wai Lun said that he was used to watching Japanese "love action film" and thought that the 3 person scene was not too intense; but Wong Tze Wah laughed and said that as a viewer and a friend, he felt "very extreme and fiery hot". As for the bed scene with Fish Liew Chi Yu, Wong Tze Wah wanted to thank the director for arranging it to be completed in a dark atmosphere, and stated that if he wanted to shoot a 3 person scene he would "not be OK"; not because of idol baggage, but because he was afraid that the audience would feel sick. He was also happy that the scenes with Sumling Li, Tam Man Huen and Yeung Sze Wing were able see the light of day in the director's cut.

Yeung Sze Wing said that some of her female friends after watching thought that in comparison with Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, Hong Kong's standards were considered conservative. Did she have a bottom line for this type of scenes? She said that whether she could accept a bolder performance would depend on the script and the role. She said with a smile that her scale "often wanders". She admitted that she has been mentally prepared before this filming, after receiving the script the director has already given her "psychological consulting" and Ho Kai Wah took the initiative to contact her and communicate. The set was also cleared during filming. This time could be regarded as the most daring time in her film career. As for whether her boyfriend Owen Cheung Chun Long has seen the director's cut, she avoided the subject and only said that most of her family and classmates have watched it. She thanked them for their support. Recently she in the social platform "extra" used foul language fluently, which she joked that she too was shivering after speaking it. Ho Kai Wah described that that three person scene was one of the most nervous three person scene in his life. Fortunately he has known the co-star for years so communicating was convenient. "Renci said to me with a firm look in her eyes, finish it in one take! Of course we couldn't, since we had to shoot different angles." He admitted that at the time he worked on the kiss scene with Yeung Sze Wing after having "garlic baby bok choy", before the shoot he has studied "love action films" from different places.

Lo Chun Yip and Wong Dan Nei's bed scene appeared in the director's cut. He joked that that day he had to stay up to work overnight. Earlier he and his girlfriend Liew Chi Yu after attending the Hong Kong Film Awards celebration were caught returning to the hotel. He said that the Hong Kong Film Awards nominees were all arranged to have one night stay, but that night they were very tired and just wanted to rest. After consideration he took his girlfriend to celebrate with all you can see durian. Liew Chi Yu's new film BEYOND THE HOSTAGE CRISIS (JAU CHOOK YUN JI SI GEIN) was based on the Hong Kong tourist hostage crisis in Manila and many online were upset. Some even started a boycott. Lo Chun Yip said that discussing the matter would require very serious handling, he believed that for Hong Kong people it would be difficult to explain clearly in just a few words. He did not participate in the film so he was not at liberty to comment too much.

Tam Man Huen and Sumling Li felt that Yeung Sze Wing's three person love scene was as extreme as imagined and fit the plot. Would they consider passion or even all nude performance? Tam Man Huen said that it would depend on the script and the director, the intimate scenes could not force their way into the plot. She pointed out that if the co-star was handsome like Greg Hsu she could accept that. Sumling Li agreed that it would depend on the script and the staff, saying that she really liked LUST, CAUTION (SIK, GAI)'s Tony Leung Chiu Wai. If he was her co-star she would consider it. "The range could be as high as Leung Chiu Wai and as low as Leung Yip (Fatboy)."

[2206.04.24] FISH LIEW'S NEW FILM BASED ON THE MANILA HOSTAGE CRISIS CAUSES ONLINE CONCERN ABOUT SECONDARY DAMAGE

The fresh out of the oven Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress, Fish Liew Chi Yu became famous as soon as she won. The films she has made in the past have also been arranged for release one after another. However one of the films adapted from the hostage incident in Manila, Philippines many years ago announced that it would be released in Hong Kong, which caused controversy from the outside world. The work was accused of causing secondary harm to those involved and the people of Hong Kong, and was even suspected of "pouring salt on the wound".

Liew Chi Yu plays the gunman's relative and reporter in the movie BEYOND THE HOSTAGE CRISIS (JAU CHOOK YUN JI SI GEIN), which opened with the perspective of survivor Yik Siu Ling. The film was adapted from a serious hostage-taking incident that occurred in the Philippines on August 23rd, 2010, when Mendoza, a former Philippine law enforcement officer, took a Hong Kong tour group tour bus with 25 people hostage. The crisis lasted about 12 hours and eventually caused 8 deaths and 7 injuries. At that time Hong Kong television stations broadcast the entire process live, leaving many Hong Kong people traumatized and even causing collective post-traumatic stress disorder.

Reportedly the film started production in Malaysia in 2022. Leung Hung Wah directed the "gospel movie", and even invited Yik Siu Ling herself to be a consultant to ensure the authenticity of the story. So the general public would be able to evaluate the incident anew and pay attention to history hopefully through the visual format.

Many online felt heartache after seeing the trailer, worried that the movie might cause secondary harm to the survivors and the families of the victims, and some said that the film was like pouring salt on the wounds of Hong Kong people. "The incident is very shocking to Hong Kong people", "All Hong Kong people probably have watched the live broadcast back then, it is an indelible pain", "It will be difficult for he families of the victims." However, some people believed that movies play an educational role, helping young people who have never experienced this to understand history, promote reflection and vigilance, and emphasize that "if it is filmed, it will not be forgotten" and "the new generation has the right to know what happened that day." Some online even gave examples of the Titanic shipwreck was also made into a movie.

In addition, Liew Chi Yu co-starred with Michael Ning (Bak Ji) and Rachel Leung Yung Ting in the movie DOG DAY EVENING (YUT GOR BO MOON DIK DAN SUN), which released its trailer and stills. Liew Chi Yu boldly transformed in the film with deliberately dyed bright blue hair and bleached eyebrows. Completely different from the previous style, she even had to wear the TV station's mascot costume under the high temperature. She said with a smile, "This time I really have to let go of myself, there are actually many inner monologues and explosive scenes under the appearance of the otaku girl, which is an all new challenge for me."

Opening May 1st, COLD WAR 1994 (HONG JIN 1994) would be the third film in the COLD WAR film series. In the story 3 years before the Hong Kong handover the kidnapping of a wealthy businessman led to a financial storm and involved the police force's internal power struggle, and a tug of war between the business world, the mob, overseas power and other parties. Away from Hong Kong film for a long time, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) earlier said that he has always wanted to work with the COLD WAR film series director Longman Leung Lok Man and finally got together for COLD WAR 1994. He praised the director as mild mannered and not yelling at people, and joked that he was drastically different from Andrew Lau Wai Keung and Derek Yee Tung Sing.

Ng Yin Cho returned to Hong Kong to film COLD WAR 1994 after 10 years, playing the younger version of the Deputy Commissioner of Operations of the Police "Choi Yuen Kei" (played by Chang Kuo-Chu in COLD WAR 2). Director Leung Lok Man said that Hong Kong audiences have always missed Ng Yin Cho, and he chose him because of his age and experience that perfectly fit the role. Ng Yin Cho laughed and said that it was actually not difficult to find him to come back to film, and he has always wanted to collaborate with Director Leung; so when the producer came to him he immediately agreed. Ng Yin Cho advised the new generation to concentrate on acting and not to indulge in social media, emphasizing that with good acting they would gradually become popular instead pursuing the number of fans.

Ng Yin Cho admitted that he was worried about not being able to adapt before filming began. "Yet on the first day of costume fitting I met people from before, I felt so comfortable speaking Cantonese and felt like I was home." He said that in the past he has only made 10 English films but more than 60 Cantonese films, and he was more comfortable filming in Cantonese. From playing a "beat" cop before to an inspector and this time deputy commissioner, he joked that it was thanks to his maturity and life experience. "When I left Hong Kong I was just 40, I was too young to have such a role for me to play; coming back this time I am 52, after over 10 years I have matured a lot and have more life experience. Then I am finally suitable to play this character. It's pretty interesting, very different from the previous police roles I played." This time the role would exhaust all means to achieve his goal, and he left whether it was right or wrong for the audience to decide. Director Leung Lok Man praised him for doing his homework and restored the classic scene of "Choi Yuen Kei" smoking cigars, giving the audience a sense of connection.

Ng Yin Cho and Terrance Lau Chun Him had the most scenes together in the film, and he praised him for being handsome, good in acting and diligent. They quickly established a bond. He said that he was very excited to work with a group of young actors, and said with a smile that he has changed from the youngest to the oldest on the set. Even the junior staff said that their parents were his fans, and he accepted this change calmly. He also shared his experience with Lau Chun Him, saying that from filming in the United States was not much different. He suggested that he concentrate on acting. "Because many other actors who are well versed in TikTok, Red Note, but they should concentrate on acting diligently. I myself play with social media, but I only shoot one movie a year. Many people would think that if they have more followers, they would become popular. Actually if you do your job well, you would slowly become popular."

In addition although he did not share a scene with Chow Yun Fat (Fat Gor) in the film, Ng Yin Cho still visited the set. He said that he has loved Fat Gor since he was a child, but he has never had the opportunity to work together. This time watching Fat Gor acting was quite a pleasant surprise for me. He used to work with Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Louis Koo Tin Lok frequently. This time this team was very rare.

Ng Yin Cho has maintained the rhythm of only one film a year in recent years, just to spend more time with his daughter who recently came to Hong Kong for a short stay for a week and just left. He revealed that his daughter has never seen his works, when she was a child he deliberately did not let her know that her father was a star. When she grew up, his daughter only watched her favorite movies. His daughter has been learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since she was 10 years old, has practiced for 5 years and won a gold medal. He awkwardly revealed that although he has practiced kung fu for more than 30 years, he was also unable to escape the lock she put him in when he was sparring with his daughter. He was so embarrassed that he had to tap out by kicking. Then he also began to learn jiu-jitsu, and now he already has two ways to resolve his daughter's move. "Once my daughter put me in a headlock, I couldn't get out of it. It was really embarrassed. At the time she was only 10 and she already got me out of breath, so I too had to start Brazilian jiu-jitsu training." He also said that his daughter often used leg scissors, but admitted that the move was not suitable for making movies. He revealed that his daughter has performed in the school musical, but he also said that he did not want his daughter to enter the industry because it was too hard; and he was sure that there would be no father-daughter performances in the future.

COLD WAR 1994 was set before Hong Kong's handover, in 1994 Ng Yin Cho was practicing martial arts in Beijing at the age of 21. He admitted that he did not have a deep understanding of the handover at that time, until he decided to return to Hong Kong after graduating from university in 1997. This also changed his life trajectory as he devoted himself to an acting career. At the time the Beijing wushu team had coach Wu Bin (Old Wu), Wu Jing (Big Wu) and he was "Little Wu". He said, "It was a pretty happy thing at that time, because there was no Internet I was able to practice with all my might. My childhood dream was to go back to China to practice kung fu, and I still practicing two or three days a week."

In this movie he and Lau Chun Him had a fight scene, and director Leung Lok Man revealed that the two would have more tense fight scenes in the sequel COLD WAR 1995. "They would have scenes with very strong testosterones, during the shoot female staff members would peek at the monitor." Ng Yin Cho said frankly that although he returned to Hong Kong to film was rushed, he was very comfortable. With the director in charge he could focus on the performance. The producer and the director each had their own power in the United States, which would be chaotic and leave the actors at a loss.

Speaking of Ng Yin Cho also wanting to be a director, he said that he may have to wait until his daughter goes to college to realize it. He also hoped to write the script himself. Lau Chun Him has also been writing a script as a director recently, and Leung Ka Fai was willing to charge two buck to help? Ng Yin Cho joked, "Just pay me, but he has to give the full 100%. I am the elder! He of course has to respect his elders. If he would successfully starts production, of course there would be room for discussion." Stephen Fung Tak Lun was interested in making a sequel to BISHONEN (MEI SIU NIN JI LUEN). He joked, "Are we still Bishonen? He and I have been friends for many years, together we have produced many projects and have quite the chemistry. I have participated in all of the films he has directed. The collaborations have been very pleasant, of course I would like to work together again -- but the sequel isn't necessary!"

Lau Chun Him in the film had many action and gun fight scenes. He admitted that before the production began he has already had special training. Regarding working with Daniel, he immediately acted like a teenage girl and said, "Ng Yin Cho is so handsome! He truly is a very handsome hunk." He pointed out that Daniel was very easygoing on the set. They also had common topics like exercising and cars, so they were able to become close very quickly.

The 44th Hong Kong Film Awards came to a successful conclusion a few days ago, Keung To, Anson Kong Yip Sun and MIRROR captain Lokman Yeung were invited to be the award presenters. They appeared well mannered and graceful on the stage, as soon as they returned backstage their "big kid" naughty nature was exposed. They teamed up with Louise Wong Dan Nei and Mandy Tam Man Huen on a funny video. In it after the two women expressed that they wanted to marry rich, Keung To and Lokman originally planned to walk into the shot together. However no one expected a "scheme within a scheme". After Keung To took the lead and confidently passed by as a "rich man", Lokman stayed in place, held AK back and surprised both Wong Dan Nei and Tam Man Huen.

Keung To turned around and realized that the captain has betrayed him. He showed an expression of disbelief, and then pouted to the camera and complained, "He lied to me!" Successful in his scheme, Lokman burst into laughter beside him. He did not forget to "add another stab" and pointed out that Keung To was "the richest person", bursting into laughter! Regarding this, when Lokman attended the promotion of the drama "IN GEEK WE TRUST 2.0" with Stanley Yau Si Chun and Frankie Chan Shui Fai as well as Ling Man Lung, Hanna Chan, Kaki Sham, Peter Chan Charm Man, etc. yesterday, he revealed that originally only two women were filming. After they watched from the sidelines, they offered to join them. As for why only Keung To took action, he joked, "I deliberately played a trick on him, ordering him to walk into the shot while I didn't move." Yau Si Chun laughed and said that every MIRROR member would have their naive moment, but Ian Chan Cheuk Yin has been highly alert and playing a prank on him has been very difficult.

Also at the Hong Kong Film awards, Ariff Chan Wing Yip announced Kong Yip Sun as Kong "But" Sun. Lokman Yeung said with ta smile that everyone did not mind. "Mistakes are made all the time. AK always says that his name is always misread. I laughed on the spot, luckily the microphone didn't catch it." Some said that even the graphic was wrong. He felt that someone must have overlooked it, if they were too uptight about everything they would have a lot of trouble.

In addition, the husband-to-be Stanley revealed that the wedding held at the end of the year has been mostly prepared. He even went overseas to take wedding photos earlier. "Earlier we shot overseas, in scenes like skiing and such. We haven't planned to take too formal wedding photos." Yau Si Chun's fiancé Alina Lee Yan Yi earlier said that on the trip they mistakenly ordered a 19 person high class dinner and had to play HK$ 180,000. He said that similar incidents constantly happened, and for their wedding they would be fine as they would be double check. Frankie revealed that he has been preparing a new single that is expected to be completed by the end of May, but admitted that he has not yet had the idea of holding a solo concert. "I don't have so many works after all." However he hoped that in the future music development, he would be able to bring new feelings to the audience.

MIRROR would release this year's first group song. Recently on their official social platform they each took a "nonsensical" selfie video to promote. Chan Shui Fai joked that they were all meaningless, the staff said that just shoot it like this and they would be fine.

The movie BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI)'s "goose egg" at the Hong Kong Film Awards despite 11 nominations has caused heated discussions, but unexpectedly troubles came again recently. On the day of the award ceremony Louis Koo Tin Lok helped Sonjia Kwok Sin Nei down the stairs when he set off from the hotel, which actually upset some Koo Tin Lok and Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) couple fans. Some online even described Kwok Sin Nei in very insulting ways such as "green tea" and "mistress". In the face of negative criticism, Kwok Sin Nei's manager Gary Cheung Ka Yuen posted on social networks to restore the truth. He said that she was originally helping Kwok Sin Nei, but halfway through the event staff wanted to photograph the beauty of the scene. He knew that his "appearance would ruin the picture" and moved away. When Kwok in Nei went down the stairs alone, she was shaky because her dress was too tight. Fortunately Koo Tin Lok was beside her and came to help. Gary emphasized, "Boss Koo is quite the gentleman. I believe he would immediately help anyone in need in the same situation."

Kwok Sin Nei also personally posted a response, saying that she has always supported everyone's favorite idols and also loves the BACK TO THE PAST team very much. She has never wanted to fight for anything. "I would hope that everyone would see the picture you want to see, and will try to assist as much as possible." She also explained that she deleted previous posts because she saw that a minority of people misunderstood her originally very direct intention, making the matter change would not be good. She hoped that everyone would clearly understand. In the end h e wrote, "I too respect your idols, I absolutely won't delete this post!" Many online also spoke up for her, pointing out that Kam Ching was originally Hong Siu Lung's wife in the series, not a "mistress"; and called for an end to cyberbullying.
