The premiere of the film SPARE QUEENS (DAI FUN JUNG) was held
the evening before. Actors Stephy Tang Lai Yan, Chrissie Chau Sau Na
(Sister Na), MIRROR vice captain Anson Kong Ip Sang (AK), Adam Pak Tin
Nam attended to show their support. Producers Chan Hing Ka and O Sing
Pui attended as well and received the support from many good bowlers.
Sister Na in the film played a couple with AK. She smiled and
said that she wanted to thank the director for arranging the younger AK
to pair with her, because in the past in the film her male partner have
mostly been more mature. The role she have played often had
difficulties in love, swindled and without good results. This time she
in turn would do anything to pursue AK, who played a character who was
not as he appeared. She even powerfully scolded an assistant to tears
in one scene. "I can yell at people nonstop in the film, the
performance is a lot of fun." She played a bowling master in the film.
After the film she also became interested in the sport and hoped to
continue to bowl in the future. She also revealed that the film
originally tailor-made bowling equipment for her as a memento, but after
the film wrapped up production, some of the equipment actually
disappeared without a trace.
AK wore a mask to attend the premiere that night, because he has
not yet recovered from the flu. He revealed that he had a fever
earlier. The doctor recommended more rest so he recently missed some
public activities. The fever did not officially subside until the
previous night. His physical condition improved slightly, so he was
able to appear at and support the film's premiere. Speaking about
MIRROR's concert next month, AK said that rehearsal has already begun
but he would also pay special attention to his physical condition. He
revealed that he has been absent from a rehearsal due to illness to
avoid transmitting germs to his teammates and dancers.
Regarding playing a couple with Sister Na, AK admitted that he
was very grateful. He laughed and said that he was particularly nervous
in the face of the goddess. "I would like to appear to be more elegant
in front of her, but I am more bashful so I dare not say too much."
Sister Na said that most of her male partners she has worked with in the
past were more mature. AK smiled and said, "I have a mature side too,
she just has not seen it yet." He also thanked Sister Na for taking the
initiative to help "break the ice", "Often Sister Na took the initiative
to chat with me. Even for intimate scenes she would communicate with me
first so that the atmosphere at the scene would be more relaxed. During
the official shoot I wouldn't be as embarrassed and nervous."
In the film Pak Tin Nam played roles like "Papa", "Boyfriend"
and "Hubby", but with bowling experience since childhood, he did not
have many bowling scene. AK joked, "I can play Papa too!" Instantly
fans went into an uproar.
Pak Tin Nam shared that he often bowled when he was living in
Australia, not to meet the girls but because he truly loves the sport.
He laughed and said that he was very much in favor of holding box office
celebrations, such as bowling on the beach. AK proposed that if the box
office results would be ideal, why not hold a bowling friendly match,
invite the audience to watch and share the joy with everyone.
Mandy Tam Man Huen has injected her into the relationship
between Colman Wong Chak Lam and Eason Chan Yik Shun's daughter
Constance Chan Hong Tai. Her elder colleague Stephy Tang Lai Yan
immediately looked to Chau Sau Na in hopes that she would save her,
but Chau Sau Na was dazed and only giggled -- exactly like she and
Stephen Fung Tak Lun was asked about the matter earlier. Chau Sau Na
could not help but laugh and ask Stephy, "Why are you looking at me?"
Stephy explained, "I want to learn from Fung Tak Lun and look at Chau
Sau Na to steal time." Chau Sau Na joked that her relationship with
Stephy was very far about like the "big split" and said, "We aren't
close at all! Next time don't look at me again, try looking at the
other side!"
Stephy said that she just returned to Hong Kong and only found
out about the matter from the newspaper. She admitted that she would
not interfere with other people's matter and believed that she would be
able to handle it. She did not have anything to say. In addition
since it was other people's business, she was not at liberty to
comment. Was she worried that her junior colleague would bear a lot of
pressure? She said, "I believe she has enough intelligence to handle
it. Let them resolve their personal matter." Chau Sau Na felt helpless
after repeatedly playing her shield and pointed out that she did not
know much about the matter so she would not be at liberty to comment.
She did not understood why everyone would stare at her when responding.
"I want to know what happened too, I want to know why they have to stare
at me! Whenever they are asked I am right next to them? That's just
how curious life is."
Stephy earlier went to the U.S. to attend the Hawaii
International Film Festival with SPARE QUEENS and MY PRINCE EDWARD (GUM
DOH). She was very happy to bring her films to interact with the
audience at different places. Due to the intense schedule, she did not
have the time to enjoy the sunshine and the beach, but she was surprised
to run into many Hong Kong fans who have emigrated there. They hoped
that she would perform a concert there. Would she consider a beach show
in Hawaii? She said, "I really can give it a try. A beach show would
be pretty great. (Add a swimsuit segment?) I can consider it. I
can look into a North American tour."
Speaking of the film, Stephy not only played a mother but also
a bowling master. Not a bowler, she said this time as an enormous
challenge. In addition, she even had to handle many smoking scenes.
Although she has played a smoker before, she still needed to practice
hard. She said that she spent more time on that than practicing
bowling. "Last time I wasn't very pleased with my smoking performance
and was even ridiculed by friends. This time I really smoked a lot,
luckily I was able to quit!" Pak Tin Nam revealed that he and Stephy
had many passionate intimate scenes. "At many different locations,
like in a car, elevator, living room, probably the most intimate scenes
I have had in my film career so far. I have learned a lot, I never
imagined that we can achieve results in such a small space." His boss
Raymond Wong Pak Ming was sentenced to 5 months in prison for insider
trading, but has already been released early. Have they seen each
other? He said, "His release has put everyone at ease. I hear that he
has become healthier and more alert. I would let him rest and see him
later."

Chrissie Chau Sau Na has recently been busy promoting
their film that has been quite popular. Earlier, she and Angela Yuen
Lai Lam, Myolie Wu Hung Yi, Stephen Fung Tak Lun and others promoted the
film AFTERPIECE (DAI SEI MOK), during which a lot of footage was shot
and the atmosphere was full of joy. Chau Sau Na recently shared photos
and short videos to social networks, including the crew's celebration of
Angela's birthday last month with a small cake. The birthday girl was
all smiles, and rather happy.
Chau Sau Na and Angela had a decent relationship, in the video
they played posing in seconds and were full of chemistry. Already a
goddess herself, Chau Sau Na even praised Angela as beautiful.

Nick Cheung Ka Fai would hold a series of three shows for
the first time at the Hong Kong Coliseum on the first to third day of
the Lunar New Year (February 6th to 8th, 2027). A large-scale
entertainment performance that would combine "comedy, song and dance",
"THE CHACHAFAI SHOW" would celebrate the Year of the Sheep with the
audience in Hong Kong.
In honor of the event, Cheung Ka Fai earlier "led" his classic
role, including UNBEATABLE (GIK JIN)'S "Scum Fai", PEG O' MY HEART
(SHOOK MUNG)'s "Choi Sun Keung", THE CON MAN (DOH HUP 1999)'s "Fa Gwut
Lung", GOLDEN CHICKENSSS (GUM GAISSS)'s "Brother Gordon" and KEEPER OF
DARKNESS (TOR DEI KUI MOR YUN)'s "Fat Jai", to brave the rain and storm
the Hong Kong Coliseum for a promotional video. During the shoot
Cheung Ka Fai was in great shape, "transformed into character" in a
flash, brought back classic dialogue, pulled the audience back to the
light and shadow memories of many classic works and was bound to set off
the city's "memory kill" during the Lunar New Year.
Speaking of the idea of the Hong Kong Coliseum show, Cheung Ka
Fai admitted that he has never had a "singer dream" but the stage has
brought him an unexpected opportunity. He said, "I hope it won't be
just a concert. In other words, I won't be able to present the content
in the form of a concert." He announced that there would be a surprise
comedy performance. There would also be a special ingenuity in the
stage effects and performance arrangement, hoping to combine "comedy,
song, and dance" to bring a joyous New Year to the audience .
How did he feel about showing off classic characters from his
many years in film? Cheung Ka Fai smiled and said, "Of course I have
special intents, I am looking forward to it myself. I hope to bring you
some surprises, as well as some memories of Cheung Ka Fai's past roles.
What would the audience think when they see this show? You really have
to wait until the show is born to find out."
Cheung Ka Fai earlier while promoting his film GOOD TRIP (NGOR
AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG) once promised that he would perform a concert
if he could get 100,000 likes online. Then he changed his mind and said
that he had to consult his manager first, and changed the subject to
open a cafe, invest 200,000 to 300,000 on a sequel to GOOD TRIP or a
musical film. Later he was rumored to truly be planning to fulfill his
Hong Kong Coliseum dream. At the time his manager responded, "An
announcement would be made later, please look forward to it."
Cheung Ka Fai once made the jump from film and television to
music. Aside from releasing a record, he even won the Ultimate Male
Singer Gold Prize award in 2000. His hits included ABLE TO LOVE,
SUBCONSCIOUS, and RATHER GIVE MYSELF THE MOST HEARTBROKEN. He also
often sang in his films, including a parody of Leon Lai Ming's EYES
WANT A VACATION in CONMAN IN TOKYO (JUNG WA DOH HUP), in HE IS MY ENEMY,
PARTNER AND FATHER-IN-LAW (FA GWUT LUNG YU CHIN NIN CHUNG) he and Danny
Lee Sau Yin went to a karaoke box to sing BEYOND's GRAY TRACK (FUI SIK
GWAI JIK), and playing "Fa Gwut Lung" again in THE CONMAN and singing
Andy Lau Tak Wah's classic hit right in front of him. He even made
the "Lau Wah" pose for Lau Tak Wah after the song. Cheung Ka Fai
last year sang the theme song PERMANENT INSOMNIA (WING YUEN DIK SUT
MIN) for his film PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG).

[ 25TH NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ]
Mrs. Yeung has spent years holding a Hong Kong household together,
managing a checked-out husband, a demanding teenage son, and the
thousand thankless tasks that keep a family running. Then she
secretly signs up for pole dancing, and something dangerous happens:
she starts having fun. What looks like a midlife lark turns
shockingly physical, closer to martial arts than play, demanding
strength and nerve she didn't know she had. As the lessons reawaken
a self she had quietly shelved, the accommodating wife-and-mother act
becomes harder to keep up. Joey Wu's first feature turns domestic
frustration into bright, nimble comedy, handing Catherine Chau a
gloriously physical role as a woman who decides that disappearing
politely is no longer on the schedule. Veteran Elaine Jin lends
major support.
[ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
Yuen is a stereotypical housewife, her days dulled by endless
domestic routines. By chance, she stumbles into the dazzling world
of pole dancing, where she embarks on a secret journey - one she
keeps hidden from her conservative husband, Lam, and her son, Heng.
As colour slowly returns to her life, she forms an unexpected
friendship with her much young classmate. Meanwhile, Fung-mei, the
70-year-old grandmother with a heart of a young lady, falls prey to a
scam while searching for love on dating app. Forced to move into
Yuen's home, her arrival stirs up even more chaos to the already
strained family.

Eagerly wanting to have a last bloom of her youth, Mama Yeung

A botched takeaway order sparks an unlikely battle of wills in WE ARE
BORN GOOD, the assured debut of Hong Kong filmmaker Yeung Leung
Chuen. Aspiring actress Zoey is already at breaking point, weighed
down by debt, disappointment and a city that seems determined to test
her patience. When a neighborhood restaurant refuses to remake her
incorrect order at closing time, a petty grievance quickly escalates.
As their confrontation spirals into chaos, hostility slowly gives way
to an unexpected connection. Inspired by viral footage of trivia
disputes erupting into violence, the film asks what drives ordinary
people to the brink -- and whether kindness can still prevail.

A restaurant mishap led to a feud between Wing-kat and Zoey. Both,
whose lives were already challenging, engaged in a cycle of revenge
that escalated further. However, they did not anticipate that the
real harm would come from those closest to them. Initially
adversaries, Wing-kat and Zoey ultimately became the only companions
who truly understood each other.

The film AFTERPIECE (DAI SEI MOK) held an all star premiere last
night, producer Derek Yee Tung Sing, actors Stephen Fung Tak Lun,
Angela Yuen Lai Lam, Myolie Wu Hung Yi, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Alan Yeung
Wai Lun and Ng Wing Sze attended; guests included Jennifer Yu Heung
Ying, Nancy Wu Ting Yan, Sharon Chan Man Chi and Kenny Wong Tak Bun. Wu
Hung Yi would turn 47 on the 6th of this month. The crew presented a
cake to celebrate her birthday early, which surprised and moved her.
Wu Hung Yi thanked the crew for the surprise, admitted that the
birthday wish was the film to be a big box office hit. Because the
director has put in a lot of effort and the word of mouth has been
widely circulated, the film would be worthy of good results. As for how
she would spend her birthday, she said, "I have to go back to school
(Film Production Master of Art program) on my birthday and then have
dinner with my family later." Returning to school, she joked that
because of the midlife crisis, she wanted to learn and study anew in
hopes that it would help her write a script in the future. Fung Tak Lun
expressed his admiration for the determination of Hung Yi to return to
school. In addition to learning theory, she has also regained the
enthusiasm of the youth. Would he have the impulse to return to school?
He smiled and said that he would be more interested in understanding the
enthusiasm of others. Hung Yi immediately praised him for not needing
to be a student, he should be a instructor instead; Chau Sau Na
immediately raised her hand to sign up for his class, and offered her
services to participate in his film that would start production soon.
Fung Tak Lun said that while making STEPHEN'S DIARY he already thought
that Chau Sau Na would "definitely succeed" and promised that as long as
she was willing to make the time, he could shoot at any time and would
tailor the role for her. How did he feel about Hung Yi? Fung Tak Lun
said, "Of course she would succeed! Earlier when I was watching
"EVERBODY START BY", Hung Yi had to act on the spot for evaluation. I
guessed that after finishing the first level I wouldn't be able to hide
how I would appear during evaluation. I would feel, "What do you know"
but it was okay to be evaluated by Yee Tung Sing. I am just joking,
actually standing out there really seemed to be on trial in public."
Regarding Colman Wong recalling that he started dating Mandy Tam
Man Huen immediately after breaking up with Constance Chan Hong Tai,
Eason Chan Yik Shun's daughter. Tam Man Huen was an artist under Fung
Tak Lun's banner. With her being accused of being the third party, Fung
Tak Lun said, "It's hard to answer. I don't know much about things, but
young people have their way of doing things. They don't need us to
worry." Would this affect his relationship with Chan Yik Shun and would
it be embarrassing if they meet? He joked, "Our relationship has never
been good. Actually we often see each other. Everyone is mature, and
who hasn't been young before!" Has he been reminded of his youth? He
said, "I am fine, I am very normally. They are very normally too.
Everyone is very normal!"
In addition, 52-year-old Harwick Lau Hoi Wai admitted being in
love with Christy Lai Kai Kwan who was 20 years his junior. Wong Tak
Bun said that he just played pickleball with them on Halloween. He
said, "A big group of us play together. We rarely see each other
normally. I only found out about them being together from the
newspaper. They haven't been deliberately hiding it, just no one has
particularly noticed."
Yuen Lai Lam responded to her earlier long article about sexual
harassment in the business for the first time. She said that the post
was very detailed and she had nothing to add. She emphasized that she
did not want to make anyone public, but only wanted to bring out in-
depth discussions. She revealed that she received many direct messages
from women afterwards and felt that her courage has received attention
and support, which made her breathe a sigh of relief and caused people in
different industries to reflect. Referring to being kissed by force
by an elder, Yuen Lai Lam stated that these things were not the starting
point of the article. She just hoped that everyone would reflect on why
girls would think too long when they have been violated, and why the
climate would allow these things to happen. She said that in recent
years she has been interested in developing toward writing a script and
making short films, but would not shoot just over a single event. She
hoped to raise widespread concern about the phenomenon; as for the
establishment of a union to protect women in the industry, she said that
she has not thought about it before but could consider it.
As for whether the elder involved has contacted her after the
incident, Yuen Lai Lam pointed out that when she wrote the article she
deliberately did not leave a clue for everyone to find him. She did not
intend to point out his identity either. He was exposed because he
issued an apology on his own. She stressed, "I didn't want to end his
career or judge him, and I didn't expect him to apologize." She was
happy to say that she could inspire women to speak out because it was
justice.
Her film role was custom made for Yuen Lai Lam. She said that
she asked a lot of herself and would be a little more tense, but she has
heard from her colleagues that the audience response has been decent.
"The director wasn't displeased with anything and found the work
acceptable. The director has said to me 'Angela Trust Me' the most. I
really admire my own seriousness very much." Both Wu Hung Yi and Chau
Sau Na praised that Yuen Lai Lam's performance as outstanding. Wu Hung
Yi said that Yuen Lai Lam's performance had to be real and nature for
the entire screenplay to be valid. Chau Sau Na revealed that
backstage she saw the scar of Yuen Lai Lam's leg. At first she thought
it was make from the time, but later realized that it was a real
bruise.
