In order to thank the audience for their support, many actors would "pay the bill" today in Tsim Sha Tsui and treat fans to fish balls to celebrate.

During the past Easter holiday the total box office revenue in Hong Kong in 4 days reached HK$ 25,931,645, a very impressive increase of 103.33% increase from 12,753,564 over the same period last year! The top three were the Hollywood animation THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE with a box office of 13.19 million and cumulative box office of 20.43 million, the Hollywood movie PROJECT HAIL MARY with a box office of 4.28 million and cumulative box office of 16.87 million, and the animation HOPPERS with 2.89 million and cumulative box office of 26.31 million. Hong Kong films NIGHT KING and WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR), the new film of MIRROR vice-captain Anson Kong Yip Sun, and CIAO, UFO (JOI GEIN UFO) followed. NIGHT KING made around 1.54 million with a cumulative box office of 107 million. WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL made 1.49 million with a cumulative box office of 1.93 million. CIAO, UFO made 1.19 million with a cumulative box office of 5.94 million. Starred in NIGHT KING, Louise Wong Dan Nei was of course happy about the box office success.

The movie version BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) was released on December 31, 2025. As of April 6, 2026 its cumulative box office in Hong Kong and Macau has reached 97,654,962 (Hong Kong dollars, the same below). Its group of leading actors Louis Koo Tin Lok, Raymond Lam Fung, Sonija Kwok Sin Nei, Joyce Tang Lai Ming, Kevin Chu Kam Yin, etc., went to the theater the night before to attend the BACK TO THE PAST PLUS+ (CHUM CHUN GEI PLUS+ DOR YUEN YU JAU BAN) audience appreciation screening. After that, near the early hours of the morning, Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) and Jimmy Au Sui Wai also returned to the team to attend the BACK TO THE PAST Silver Screen × Small Screen Combination Watching TV Series Finale Meeting". Hundreds of fans gathered at the shopping center in the early morning to watch the finale of the drama version A STEP INTO THE BACK together. When the drama reached the Lam Fung played Chiu Poon achieving complete victory and declared with dominance that his world would last ten thousand lifetimes and ages without end, the live audience all screamed, "Hail, Hail, Long Live the Emperor". Koo Tin Lok and Kwok Sin Nei were so moved by the enthusiasm of the audience that they could not help but cry.

In the interactive chat session, the emcee C Kwan invited Suen Huen to reenact the classic acupuncture point scene on the spot, only to see her tapping left and right on Koo Tin Lok's shoulder. The fans immediately cheered. After that Koo Tin Lok also took the opportunity to "retaliate", jokingly asking the audience if they wanted to see him stun Suen Huen. He even joked, "How much fun have you had with the poking?" Finally Koo Tin Lok stretched out his hand to poke Suen Huen's back, and the scene was funny. Another climax was the scene where Tang Lai Ming and Koo Tin Lok reenacted the scene in the finale where "Sin Yau" lay on the chest of "Hong Siu Lung", and Tang Lai Ming even took the opportunity to say what the character did not say back then, "Actually I really want you to ask me to stay!" Later the emcee Lok Wing pulled Au Sui Wai on stage again and arranged for Au Sui Wai, who has kissed Koo Tin Lok in the "Plus+ Multiverse Version", to lie on his chest. Au Sui Wai immediately played coy and said, "Now what, I've been taken care of!" and caused the audience to burst into laughter.

At the end of the event, the leading actors revealed their true feelings. Suen Huen emotionally said to the audience, "You think we have brought you a lot of happiness. Actually we have seen your reactions, support and sharing in the past few months, and you have brought us a very happy feeling. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to experience this in my life." Kwok Sin Nei was even more moved to tears, she said, "I made my first drama 25 years ago. Many things have changed after 25 years, but everyone seems to be unchanged. I am really touched." In order to thank the audience for their support, the actors finally sang DESTINY REIGNS SUPREME with the audience and set off a memory kill. Koo Tin Lok then sang the new song "The Great Scam of the Century", and Lam Fung presented the classic song "Love is Looking for You in Memory" to celebrate, bringing the night to a successful end.

Koo Tin Lok said that this should be the last audience appreciation event for the movie BACK TO THE PAST, because since January 1st he has been thanking the audience to now. He joked, "Should I thank the audience all the way past Duen Ng (Festival)! If you can thank past Christmas I would call you talented. That would really be great!" Yet the box office was still more than 2 million short of breaking 100 million? He also hoped that the audience would continue to support them, since they have been doing their jobs. He also revealed that he has been watching the drama A STEP INTO THE PAST at night, and joked that when he reached episode 39 and all the bad guys were still alive, he thought he was watching the wrong show.

Tang Lai Ming has watched many finale with the audience, but this was the first time with the audience in the early morning. "In order to watch the finale this time, I watched all 39 episodes at home two days before. My husband happened to go skiing again and was not at home." The reporter asked if she accidentally exposed her duplex mansion on the Internet? Kwok Sin Nei said that she also saw it, and praised her mansion as very pretty. Tang Lai Ming said with a smile, "It's just a place in the country!" Koo Tin Lok and Kwok Sin Nei said that when they were at TVB, watching the finale with the audience was not popular yet. Koo Tin Lok pointed out that he also watched the drama A STEP INTO THE PAST again. Kwok Sin Nei recalled that her first day of work was the final scene when she was pregnant. Many people asked her where the child in her womb went, and she asked Koo Tin Lok for the answer on the spot the night before. Koo Tin Lok responded with a smile, "There will be an explanation later!"

Koo Tin Lok was about to start filming the movie TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER, but since he has not recovered from his earlier eye ailment would it have any impact? Koo Tin Lok said it would have no effect. Kwok Sin Nei immediately suggested, "You can wear glasses for the shoot. I have seen the movie and it's good. I feel that you are very uncle, but I like it very much." Koo Tin Lok rolled his eyes and said, "For continuity of course I would have to wear glasses. I have no reason to wear contact lenses this time. Do you really like Uncle? But I'm not an uncle!" Regarding his new song "The Great Scam of the Century" topping a certain sales chart as the champion, he said that he did not even know it. This time his cat also connects the whole story in the new song. Kwok Sin Nei asked again why it was a black cat. Now she knew that many people used black cats to represent Louis Koo, but she did not understand why. Goo Jai joked, "Now you know that it is a black cat, that's so impressive, you can go to the park and ask those uncles!"

Tang Lai Ming has been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for "Best Supporting Actress" for BACK TO THE PAST. The reporter asked her if she would attend the awards ceremony with her husband? She laughed and said, "No, I was also thinking that if I won the award, should I hug my husband or Koo Tin Lok? Finally I decided to hug Boss Koo, so my husband won't appear."

TVB has been accused for forcing all of its artists to hand over social platform accounts and passwords to put "central management" into practice. Tang Lai Ming said that she did not have a manager contract, it had nothing to do with her so she has not thought about any impact. Lam Fung was no longer at TVB, has not gotten an understanding of the matter so he declined to comment. However he believed that TVB might its own set of standards, and that every company would fight for the best platform and benefits for its artists. Did he feel that this move would make artists lose privacy? He said, "Artists are on the public layer, I estimate that joint management would have its own considerations."

Lam Fung said with a smile that he has only tried countdown activities before, but has never watched the finale of the series with fans at the shopping center at late night. "This time it's pretty outrageous. I remember the last time I watched the ending was HEART OF GREED! I was a little surprised when I received the notification for this event." Speaking of BACK TO THE PAST nearing HK$ 100 million at the box office, Lam Fung hoped to be able to get another push to reach the goal. He also did not expect that he would still be thanking the audience three months after the movie's release, but it would probably also be the last time to thank the audience for him because he would have to prepare to start working on a new film.

Lam Fung would participate in TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG). He has been training for a month already, and he also needed to get a tan for the role "Chan Lok Kwan", but due to time constraints he could only rely on the lamp. The rest of the time was left for stunt training. Lam Fung revealed that he has always had old injuries from past shoots, and however much he would be able to recover before filming started would be it. "I had some problems with my right foot going up and down the stairs before, so I went to get a knee scan. The cruciate ligament has recovered, but the 'pineapple cover' (patella) had a hole, which was the spot that absorbed the impact. Because I didn't know the last time I got hurt, nothing could probably be done. I relied on taking painkillers, and injecting the 'gel' helped a little!" He lamented that he did not understand much before, did not deal with injuries and never recovered; so he advised Chu Kam Yin to pay attention. Chu Kam Yin used to be a representative of the Hong Kong swimming team. He said that when he was an athlete, he had a record of injuries and strains on his shoulders, neck and waist, but he has recovered and understood that he should warm up and stretch before exercise.

[2026.04.08] TONY LEUNG CHIU WAI WANTS HIS RETIREMENT FILM TO BE A HAPPY AND WARM FILM

Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Hungarian female director Enyedi Ildiko attended the premiere of the movie SILENT FRIENDS at the 50th Hong Kong International Film Festival yesterday. Leung Chiu Wai was in a good mood yesterday, smiling throughout the whole process, and even sent hearts upon request. When he went to South Korea to promote a few days ago, he made a variety of heart gestures. Some online pointed out that his expression was helpless, as if he was "forced to do business". Leung Chiu Wai laughed and said, "I can't say that. I'm not used to doing this, but it can make people happy and it doesn't bother me anyway. I did smile." He revealed that he was very happy and inspired from making SILENT FRIENDS. He felt that he has entered the third stage of his film career, stepped out of his comfort zone, and now he could be exposed to different types of films. He wanted to make a happy and warm movie for his retirement film.

Regarded as an introvert, Leung Chiu Wai was in a good mood yesterday. Smiling throughout the event, he was asked by the media to make heart gestures when taking photos. He said with a smile, "I seem to have gone to South Korea." When he was interviewed in South Korea, he made a variety of heart gestures. Some online pointed out that the expression on his face was helpless, as if he was "forced to open for business". Leung Chiu Wai said, "I can't say that. I'm not used to doing this, but being able to do something makes people happy, it's no big deal anyway. I did smile."

Director Enyedi Ildiko said that she came to Hong Kong to promote because this was Leung Chiu Wai's home. She revealed that the last time she came to Hong Kong was 25 years ago. Leung Chiu Wai said that he did not know the director. When he was invited to film, he immediately appreciated her work and found that he liked them all. Then he got to know the director through a video call, and felt that Enyedi Ildiko had substance, humility and confidence. Even though he has not read the script at the time, he has decided to work with her. The 90- day filming process was very pleasant and inspiring as he expected. When Leung Chiu Wai was praised for being equally humble and have substance, he laughed and said, "Of course not!"

Leung Chiu Wai said that this time he played a neuroscientist and had to act with a ginkgo tree, but he was not lonely at all because the crew was so professional. He thought this film was fun. He revealed that after filming SILENT FRIENDS, he found that the trees were very intelligent and conscious. Now he runs at the Peak every day, and has more respect for the trees. He would reflect on the relationship between humans and nature. "I used to think that plants are plants, and they are relatively inferior in the human world; but now there is no hierarchy, I would think about whether humans are too arrogant? Does it take into account the survival of other species, even global warming, animal extinction and extreme weather problems".

After the release of SILENT FRIENDS in Germany, he went to Switzerland, Italy, Hungary, France, Spain, South Korea, etc. to promote. Leung Chiu Wai admitted that he was very tired. In addition to the fatigue of traveling, he also had to deal with a series of visits. He would go to the United States, the mainland, Taiwan, and Japan to promote it in the future, but he felt it was a very special and inspiring experience.

Leung Chiu Wai's performance was well received, and film critics said that he transformed "interpretation" into "existence". Leung Chiu Wai said, "I did my best. I spent 6 months to prepare in advance, just hoping that I can enjoy the production without any baggage. I also hope that the audience will have fun and be inspired." Would he give up on the idea of retirement? Leung Chiu Wai smiled and said, "It's two different matter." Was he afraid that the new film will be released in Hong Kong, and the audience will focus on his topless bathing scene? He laughed and said, "Nothing I can do about that, because each viewer who goes to the theater to watch a movie would have a different angle."

While Leung Chiu Wai was promoting in South Korea, he said that he wanted to work with other directors. Who would he want to work with? He said, "I have no plan. I don't resist working with anyone. I have worked with Hou Hsiao-hsien, Chen Tran Anh Hung and Ang Lee, etc. I used to be afraid of having language problems, I never expect that today going to Germany to make a movie I didn't need to learn German." He said in an earlier interview that his favorite film was IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (FA YEUNG NIN WA). In addition to winning the Best Actor in Cannes, working with director Wong Kar Wai for 20 years was very compatible and happy.

Would he work with Wong Kar Wai again? Leung Chiu Wai said, "I dare not say, because everything has a chance. My film career is divided into several stages, the first is when director Hou Hsiao-hsien inspired me, the second stage is working with Wong Kar-wai for 20 years, I got a lot of training, found my acting style, now is the third stage, I stepped out of my comfort zone and did things that I used to feel uncomfortable with, such as filming SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS. There was a lot of pressure, I was the only Hong Kong person, burdened with a big production, I once wondered if I could do it? I used to hide in my comfort zone and absorbing new things was hard. Now I feel like I can get more exposure to different types of movies. I am currently in the later stages of my acting career, and I feel that it is very important to make movies I like. I don't want to sacrifice time to make movies I don't like, because filming requires a lot of physical energy and effort."

Leung Chiu Wai once revealed that he will make a TV series this year, but not a Hong Kong TV series. Would he make a Netflix drama? He admitted that he was filming a drama for the platform and would not start work until the promotion of the film was completed. He also revealed that other plans were in progress but not Hong Kong films. Leung Chiu Wai believed that the decline of the film market was somewhat related to the development of the platform. "I used to go to big theaters to watch movies, then theaters became smaller, and now they have gone bankrupt. The industry is declining. I have the opportunity to make different movies at the same time, so I still believe that movies have room to survive, and can give low budget productions more attempts. Just like when I went to the Broadway Cinema Center to watch art films, I saw a group of regular fans who liked this type of movie."

How has the movie he would personally produce been going? Leung Chiu Wai said that he still has not have the director and script. As for Johnnie To Kei Fung wanting to work with Leung Chiu Wai again in his lifetime, Leung Chiu Wai said with a smile, "I hope to have the opportunity." He said that he hoped that his last work would be a "happy and warm movie", would To Kei Fung directed? Leung Chiu Wai said, "I don't know, does he make a happy and warm movie? I hope so."

Playing the role of the Hung Hing Society's strategist "Chan Yiu" in the YOUNG AND DANGEROUS (GOO WAT JAI) movie series, Andy Lee Do Yu passed away last Friday (3rd) at the age of 71. "Big Boss B" in YOUNG AND DANGEROUS, Ng Chi Hung confirmed the news of Lee Do Yu's passing. Photos of Lee Do Yu receiving treatment in the hospital before his death circulated on the Internet, in which he looked thinner than before and was intubated. The right side of his forehead was sunken. Reportedly Lee Do Yu drank with friends last year, fell at home due to drunkenness, and resulted in a brain injury. A piece of his skull was missing, and he was in a coma for 6 days. Since then the aftermath of his head troubled him, and finally he passed away due to complication from it.

Ng Chi Hung responded to the media that Lee Do Yu's friends informed him that Lee passed away in Hong Kong on April 3rd. He recalled that he met Lee Do Yu in 1996 when filming YOUNG AND DANGEROUS, and knew him for 30 years so far. The two have often collaborated in other mob films. He described Lee Do Yu as loving and loyal, and regretted the passing of a good friend. Lee Do Yu faded out of the entertainment industry in his early years, and the two kept in touch. In recent years he would go with friends to Ng Chi Hung's restaurant in Shenzhen for dinner. Lee Do Yu was a student of TVB's 5th Artist Training Class, and his classmates included Stanley Kwan Kam Peng and Lok Ying Kwan. He participated in many TVB dramas in the 1970s, including HEAVEN SWORD AND DRAGON SABER and THE BUND, playing small roles in all of them. In the 1980s he switched to film and played Hung Hing's "Chan Yiu" in the YOUNG AND DANGEROUS series, which left an impression. Since then he played more mob characters. Lee Do Yu faded out of the entertainment industry in 2000 to pursue business, and occasionally made cameos, including in the 2008 movie MY WIFE IS A GAMBLING MAESTRO (NGOR LO POR HAI DOH SING) as the Asian gambling king, and in 2023 he played a lawyer in the TVB drama NIGHT BEAUTIES and had a bed scene with Jacky Cai Jie.

The Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers spokesman Tin Kai Man confirmed the news of Lee Do Yu's death yesterday, saying that no notice of the funeral arrangements have been announced yet. According to online information, Lee Do Yu's date of birth was February 1968, and many reports say that he was 58 years old. When asked to confirm, Tin Kai Man replied that the correct birth year would be 1955.

AK and ANSONBEAN shared an unforgettable scene from filming, and coincidentally chose an argument scene in the tunnel. At the time it was the summer but they wore winter clothes, and they were asphyxiated from the shoot. They even had to slap each other. The director originally did not ask them to hit for real, but they both thought that hitting for real would be more emotional.

The movie was released on the 3rd of this month, with a box office revenue of nearly 1 million (Hong Kong dollars, the same below). AK and ANSONBEAN have been going to thank the audience nonstop to pump up box office, and joked that they are addicted to running to theaters. They hoped that there will be more theater screenings so the two could get their fill of running. ANSONBEAN promised that once the box office would reach 3 million, he would open a stall to sketch and draw for the audience, AK promised with a box office of 5 million, he will sing the movie theme song "HEAVEN BLESS US" with ANSONBEAN to thank the audience. "This time the performance is different from past characters. With a tragic childhood, I have to spend more time to communicate with the director. I have seen it twice already. I like it very much and suggest everyone to watch it several more times to be able to comprehend even more messages."

Kong Yip Sun, Chan Ngai Sun and the director have been thanking the audience nonstop. Kong Yip Sun said that it has not been rough. He wanted more viewers to support them at the theaters, as many viewers have plenty of questions after watching. "As we ran we realized that it wasn't enough. I hope to have more audience appreciation shows to personally answer viewer questions." Chan Ngai Sun said that many viewers really got into the movie and wanted to deeply study it, which moved him very much.

Was the movie's subject of homosexuality awkward for them during the shoot? Ak joked that as long as he would not watch with his family it would not be awkward, while ANSONBEAN said that Grandma after watching said it was great and that his performance was "passable."

Kong Yip Sun said, "They asked us how we prepared, was it awkward? If everyone wants to know what experience we had, watch the audience appreciation screening and discuss with us!" He said that his family was on vacation and has not yet returned to Hong Kong. Once they do they would support the movie. Has he prepared his family to watch his daring performance? Kong Yip Sun said, "I wouldn't watch the same show as them, if they aren't watching with me then it's fine." Chan Ngai Sun said that his parents, brother and grandma has already seen the movie with him. He said, "They really like it, after watching it they immediately say they want to book a theater to watch it again. The next morning I asked Grandma, she still praised it as great and for the first time it was fine. They absolutely have given me even greater self confidence, when thanking audiences I also have more self confidence."

Regarding the many restrictions that fan complained about at the previous MIRROR fan meeting. At yesterday's movie meeting, MIRROR member AK was still interacting with fans for photos. Has the company issued a "ban" to restrict interaction with fans? AK said, "I don't know about today (yesterday) because the arrangement was because the film company and the shopping center. I didn't interfere, I've been so tired these days, it's none of my business!" AK said that he would have a fan meeting in May, and he would gather with fans in his own way. "I understand what everyone wants, so I would try to do it in my own way and hope that the process would be completed comfortably." AK still had 2 days left before finishing his new film shoot, then he would be able to concentrate on thanking the audience and rehearsing the stage play. He would soon shoot the group song music video for MIRROR, and the new song he composed has just been released. He hoped that everyone would support both. "It's near, very soon. I know everyone is impatient, it's coming! It would scare you to death, even I was surprised. After such a long time without a song release, I hope everyone would properly look forward to the new group song and pay attention to my new song HOLD YOU TIGHT too."
