Best Actresses Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Chung Suet Ying both
have been nominated for the Golden Horse Film Award. WE ARE BORN GOOD
(SIN NAM SHUN NUI), the film starring Chung Suet Ying held its premiere
the night before. Yu Heung Ying also "made her presence felt" and joked
that she was not here to spy on the enemy but purely appreciate the
film. Chung Suet Ying pointed to the film was also nominated for Best
Narrative Feature at the same time. She has been looking forward to
attending the award ceremony with the team the most, and hoped that the
9 nominations would be able to drive the box office.
The film WE ARE BORN GOOD received 9 nominations at the "63rd
Golden Horse Award", on the previous night actors Chung Suet Ying and
Alan Yeung Wai Lun attended the charity premiere. The two each with
this film would compete for the Golden Horse Awards Best Actor and Best
Actress the next month in Taipei on the 22nd. Hong Kong Film Awards
Best Actress Yu Heung Ying also came to "make her presence felt". Also
nominated with the film DOUBLE HAPPINESS for the Golden Horse Awards
Best Actress this year, she was asked whether she came to observe the
performance of the enemy Chung Suet Ying. She said that she purely came
to enjoy the film, "Because Alan (Yeung Wai Lun) and Chung Suet Ying
have been nominated, I have been looking forward to it. As soon as I
found out about the premiere I immediately said I would come! (Would
you like to work with them?) Of course!" She said that she was very
surprised to be nominated, admitted that she did not have much
confidence in winning the award but had confidence in her Papa in the
film, Tin Kai Man. "He has already won the Taipei Film Festival, so I
think he can win this time! (Have you picked out what you would wear?)
I have to get into shape first, the most important is to be pretty." In
addition, Yu Heung Ying's domestic help suddenly quit. She was left a
little shorthanded with taking care of her family. Fortunately the
film that was originally scheduled has been postponed, so she could
personally raise her child and take care of the household chores. "The
maid said that she had an emergency and returned home. Actually she
owed 5 figures in debt, even debt collectors have come to collect. I
immediately handled the matter and did not suffer any loss.
Experiencing something like this for he first time, I feel fooled and
heartbroken."
As for the first time Golden Horse Award Best Support Actor
nominees Tin Kai Man, he admitted that everyone's optimism about him
winning at his first try has made him feel stressed. "My daughter in
the film Yu Heung Ying is very filial, she would support me at any time.
If I don't have an award in the end it would be very embarrassing. The
most ideal would double happiness to match the film title."
The WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR) Golden Horse
Best Supporting Actor nominee Anson Kong Ip Sang saw him as strong
competition. Tin Kai Man joked, "He is very strong too, obviously
dropping a class to crush an old man like me. He is blatantly the male
lead but jumped over to compete. However everyone is happy, no one
knows how it will turn out yet."
The Ho Cheuk Tin directed HOY TV situation series KEEP CALM AND
CALL PO ON had a peak rating of 4.9 points for its premiere. He did not
dare to say he was pleased, as he hoped to continue to chase good
results. "Only the premiere had 4.9 points is useless. I have to keep
performing well. Hopefully the rating would climb again and be able to
be maintained." Two nights ago he ran into Gardner Tse Kwan Ho and
hoped to talk to him about guest starring. "I would like to work with
many people, hoping to add more episodes so I could look for different
actors to perform." Was he confident that KEEP would be able to defeat
other stations Ho Cheuk Tin said that he has never thought about that,
the most important would be having more viewers and more advertisers;
then he would have even more funding to make even more episodes. The
fat wallet was the most important. KEEP posted 4 episodes online at
once. He thought that the television station arranged for that
strategy. He has paid attention to the online reaction and would be
willing to accept both positive and negative comments. It was a great
learning opportunity. "It's my first time making a situation series.
The budget is tight and the show is experimental in nature. Maybe the
audience would feel the lighting and the color would be a little short.
I would learn from the experience and look for even richer resource to
do better and fix up the details a little more."
Chu Pak Hong two nights ago showed his support with his outside
the business girlfriend Kiki on a date, and revealed that the new
relationship has been in development for over a year and become steady.
"The last time we posted a photo together for the one year anniversary
of us dating, I never thought that it would catch attention and end up
in entertainment news." He joked that under the nourishment of love,
his luck grew as he on the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actor.
He praised his girlfriend for being lucky for him. When would they get
married? Chu Pak Hong said that he would first work hard on maintaining
the relationship, as they had a lot to integrate. He believed that as
long as the relationship would be well maintained, it naturally would
bear fruits. Chu Pak Hong revealed that his girlfriend was half an
industry insider, due to work they have known each other for awhile.
He discovered hat she was not only pretty, but also direct, filial and
loving. "I found someone who knows about my past and is willing to
accept my present. Her life is very simple, she wouldn't have any
prejudice due to my appearance or past. She opened her heart to
understand me, which is very valuable in this time and age." He did
not dare to ask his girlfriend what she liked about him, as he was
afraid that he would have pressure. He knew that he had a lot to learn
from his girlfriend. "At work I get easily frustrated. She would
listen very patiently so I can see what kind of shape I am in through
her."
In addition, when asked whether Chung Suet Ying had the
confidence to win Best Actress again, she said, "My personal request is
very simple; because the film has been nominated for Best Narrative
Feature, I am looking forward to going together as a team the most."
Speaking of whether the film's multiple nominations would give her
confidence at the box office, she said, "I hope they can be converted to
the box office and attract more audiences." Her other film GOOD TRIP
(NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG) is in release now, but she disagreed with
the idea of "fighting herself". She said that it has become a "win
win" opportunity, as she hoped that viewers would support both films.
Yeung Wai Lun said that with many good films in release at the
same time, they could create a movie going atmosphere for the people.
They joked that if WE ARE BORN GOOD's box office would be ideal, they
would push co-star Lo Chun Yip (Siuyea) to give "benefits". Yeung Wai
Lun said, "Due to the length of the film, the director cut many of
Siuyea's confidential scenes, which are waiting for the opportunity to
see the light of day." He revealed that in the film he had action
scenes with Chung Suet Ying. With a sharp weapon in his hand, he was
very worried that he would hurt Chung Suet Ying by accident. He praised
her for taking a lot of risks, indicating that she was not worried about
getting hurt. Tommy Chu Pak Hong earlier wished for Yeung Wai Lun to
win the Golden Horse Best Actor, in exchange for Yeung Wai Lun to take
him to dinner for half a year. He said, "Whether I win or not I would,
brothers are for a lifetime. The most important for getting together
for meals is being happy." He also joked that his figure was poor, so
he had to put some thought into what he would wear to the award show.
In addition, the Golden Horse Executive Committee announced
yesterday this year's jury lineup. Sylvia Chang Ai-chia will be the
president of the jury. She has personally been nominated for the Golden
Horse Award up to 21 times, covering the director, the original
screenplay, the adapted screenplay, actress, supporting actress and
other categories, and even won the Golden Horse Best Actress 3 times.
Becoming the jury president again after 15 years, Chang Ai-chia was
happy to say that everyone's enthusiasm has not faded and she was
looking forward to getting together again.
