[2026.09.16] THE LUNAR NEW YEAR FILM SLATE CONTINUES TO GROW

Lin Minchen is such a hard worker on the set so it is no wonder she has won over director Clifton Ko

The film market winter actually has not put next year's Lunar New Year "on ice", as recently many Lunar New Year films have announced their production starts. Some point to even Louis Koo Tin Lok has been interested in joining the fray! The Malaysian goddess Lin Minchen starred Lunar New Year film MAD MAD WORLD (FU GUAI BIK YUN LOI) has been completed. Due to her good performance, director Clifton Ko Chi Sum not only added to her role during the shoot, but also arranged for her to perform in the Lunar New Year film for 2028.

Although a "chill" has been felt throughout the film industry in recent years and last year's Lunar New Year scheduled was almost "completely neglected", 2027 would welcome a "Small Springtime" as many Lunar New Year films have started production. Reportedly Koo Tin Lok is planning to make the CHILLI LAUGH STORY (HOP GA LAT) sequel HOP GA DA MA JUEK. Meanwhile the Malaysian goddess Lin Minchen, Loletta Lee Lai Chun and Hugo Goh (Wong Toi Yung) starred film MAD MAD WORLD (FU GUAI BIK YUN LOI) has already wrapped up production in Malaysia and is now in post-production. Director Ko Chi Sum revealed that the shoot was very smooth, Lin Minchen due to her outstanding performance even had added scenes. "Her aura and pace has quite a comedy feel, during the shoot she is very sharp and gets a lot right away. She has very few bad takes, so I keep adding to her role. Finally I probably added 4 scenes total." In the film Lin Minchen and the Malaysian actor Yuan Teng played a happy rivals and many scenes together, including fighting on the beach with actual feel temperature of nearly 40 degrees Celsius. Ko Chi Sum pointed out that they were full of sparks. "Lin Minchen and Yuan Teng are very in sync in many scenes. Lin Minchen is very demanding on herself, especially with Cantonese dialogue she has been very persistent. Before the shoot she spent a lot of time to prepare, afterward she also insisted on providing her own voice."

Although MAD is still in the post-production, Ko Chi Sum has already planned to start shooting the 2028 Lunar New Year film BAK KUT TEH (YUK GWUT CHA) in March next year and save a spot for Lin Minchen as he had confidence in her performance. BAK would be inspired by the classic Hong Kong film CHICKEN AND DUCK TALK (GAI TUNG NGAP GONG) and then create an all new story. Ko Chi Sum revealed that he has given Michael Hui Koon Man a heads up. Many viewers hoped that he would be able to perform, but due to the new film would be shot in Malaysia. The traveling would make that unlikely. For the Lunar New Year schedule becoming cheerful, Ko Chi Sum stated that a full bloom would be a good thing. As for next year Lin Minchen might face "counterfeit Lin Minchen" Miko Wong Jie Kee and her Lunar New Year film GOLDEN BLESSIGNS (WONG GUM HEI SI), Ko Chi Sum joked, "I don't know who is the counterfeit Lin Minchen!"

In addition, Lin Minchen is now staying in Tokyo, Japan and learning Japanese. The day before yesterday she uploaded a class video on the social network and went to a designated place with her classmates to buy Daifuku. She could not use the phone and navigation throughout the process, and could only ask the locals for directions and communication in Japanese. In the end she successfully completed the mission.

The television Best Actor Bosco Wong Chung Chak's first film as a producer and a star would have been a new Shaw film for Lunar New Year 2027, but recently the film has been rumored to be postponed and withdraw from next year's Lunar New Year schedule. Regarding this, admitted that the production has been delayed and explained the reason. "Mine has been postponed! Originally I wanted to make it this year, but Miss Lok (Elaine Lok Yi Ling) has been great. She felt that since it would be the first film I would produce, everything should be done to its best. Several choices for lead actresses in my mind happen to be unavailable, so postponing it would be a little better!" With the delay the film might not be the Lunar New Year film. Bosco said with a smile, "It can be a 2028 Lunar New Year film, or it doesn't have to be a Lunar New Year film at all, it would depend on the schedule!" Was the lead actress he had in mind his past co-stars Chrissie Chau Sau Na or Jacky Cai Jie, he played coy. "It's a secret, I won't tell you yet!"

[2026.09.15] ANDY LAU INVESTS IN STAGE DRAMA'S FILM ADAPTATION FOR LUNAR NEW YEAR

Guy group MIRROR member Lokman Yeung's stage play THE RETURN OF SIU LUK (GUAN YU NA JET GUAI WUI WAN DIK GOO SI) that ran in May this year would be adapted into an Andy Lau Tak Wah invested film. Lau Tak Wah would even personally produce and Herman Yau To Lai would direct, and the film would be scheduled for a Lunar New Year 2027 release. Reportedly Lau Tak Wah enjoyed the play very much, felt that the script was full of warmth, humorous yet touching, so he finally decided to invest in the film adaptation. The film has been scheduled to start production in November. Lokman admitted that he was both excited and nervous about the the play's big screen adaptation.

In terms of the film's cast, Lokman will continue to participate in the performance and is expected to work with the original stage team of Leung Chung Hang, Joe Wong Yiu Cho, Grace Wu Lai Ying, Melody Yuen Wan Shan and Simon Ngai Ping Long. Leung Chung Hang and Wu Lai Ying have made outstanding achievements in the theater industry, respectively known as "Drama Best Actor" and "Drama Best Actress"; Lokman has also been nominated for the 34th Hong Kong Drama Award "Best Actor (Comedy/Farce)" with BILLY AND LEO in recent years, and then won the "Audience Television Award" for the best male lead with BEFORE THE END.

Lokman revealed in an interview that during the performance of the play he has actually heard of the adaptation news, as the cast and the craft have been in contact with Lau Tak Wah's side; but at that time everything was not yet confirmed so he intend to wait for things to be clearer before the announcement. He pointed out that at this stage Lau Tak Wah's investment is already known, Yau Lai To would direct and Yuen Wan Shan would write. The script was still under discussed, and the film hoped to bring back the original team to perform.

Regarding the move from the stage to the big screen, Lokman admitted that he was both excited and nervous because the two interpretation methods would be always different. "The stage can be very simple, all the home sets have been established, but if the film would not take place completed at home then it would be necessary to thin about what to add in there. Everyone is still discussing this." As for whether the shoot would start in November, he admitted that he was still waiting for the notice but has set aside space in his schedule. His future work will focus on this film and the MIRROR concert.

Would Lau Tak Wah would make a guest appearance? Lokman said that he has not received the news, but said that he very much wanted him to perform and looked forward to working with Lau Tak Wah. "It's so rare to have the opportunity to work together. Before we just met and chatted. We haven't truly officially worked together." Taking part in a Lunar New Year film for the first time, Lokman said that he would like to experience the lively atmosphere of thanking the New Year audience. "Everyone should be a little happier, maybe someone will even give lai see."

"70 Leslie with Love Concert" was successfully completed the night before at the West Kowloon Cultural District AXA Bambbo Grove Park, and the venue had no empty seat. The guests included Sam Hui Koon Kit, Kenny Bee (Chung Chun To) and his daughter Blythe Chung Yi, Karen Mok Man Wai, Dicky Cheung Wai Kin, Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Adia Chan Chung Ling, Michael Tse Tin Wah, William So Wing Hong, Eliza Chan Kit Ling, MIRROR member Ian Chan Cheuk Yin, Janees Wong Lok Yin, Jenny Ian Man Fong, Ryan Fong Hei Chit, Mic-Go Ngan, etc., to pay tribute to "Gor Gor" Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing with a high standard of performance, and celebrate his 70th birthday together.

On the big screen, Leslie participated in the Asian singing competition for the first time, and finally received flowers from Mok Man Wai, who was still child back then. After the video Mok Man Wai appeared on the stage, singing the song "Gor Gor" competed with back then, "American Pie". After singing this song, Mok Man Wai said, "That night I witnessed Cheung Kwok Wing dressed in white, it is really shocking. I was already asking myself inside, is this the legendary Prince Charming? How can he be so handsome, so cool? Since that moment I remembered the name Cheung Kwok Wing, and became his number one fan. I deliberately dressed in white and put on one of his very iconic red hats to pay tribute to Gor Gor. Fate is really wonderful, I never would have dreamed that after I got into this business, I actually have the opportunity to really know Uncle Leslie and have a lot of opportunities to work with him. He treated me like a niece, taught me a lot, took great care of me, and told me to call him Uncle Leslie. I really miss you, Uncle Leslie!" Mo Man Wai then sang the DAYS OF BEING WILD (AH FEI JING JUEN) theme song "Where To Where From" and "Affair".

Tam Yiu Man performed "Luck Will Always Come" and ONCE UPON AN ORDINARY GIRL (NUNG BOON DOR CHING) theme song, revealing that back stage at an award show one year, his late mentor Anita Mui Yim Fong knew that he liked Gor Gor and brought him over to greet him. At the time Gor Gor said to him, "Pretty good, I saw your performance. Keep going, but you have to remember to keep learning, elevate yourself. Later we would encounter many difficulties, you would have to overcome them one after another. Don't give up o easily. You have to first treat people well before people would treat you well." Those words have been useful his entire life, supporting him whenever he felt down and keeping him on his journey of chasing dreams in show business. Years later when he was no longer a singer he received a call, it was from Gor Gor's manager to invite him to watch Gor Gor's farewell concert. He then sang and danced the medley of "Matter of Young Girls' Hearts" and "First Time" and was praised for capturing Gor Gor's spirit. So Wing Hong then performed "Falling For You" and sang "Who Made Your Heart Crazed" with Chan Kit Ling.

When the concert reached 9:12 p.m., a total of 1,956 drones were lifted from the barge at sea to the night sky, showing 9 minutes 12 seconds and "Gor Gor"-related patterns, including his looks from different periods, Icon that had been displayed on the stage, and the birthday cake at the end. All the graphics were vivid and the audience was deeply touched. The concert organizer Chan Suk Fun gratefully said, that rain was originally in the weather forecast Saturday night, but in the end it only rained before the concert began and during the middle part, and the air was even more comfortable with the cold breeze. She was grateful to the weather for playing along.

Chan Cheuk Yin performed I HONESTLY LOVE YOU. He said that he did not know Gor Gor and did not have the opportunity to work together, every time he listened to his movie theme songs scenes from the movie would appear in his mind. He has heard how Gor Gor contributed to the Hong Kong show business since he was little and took great care of his juniors. He hoped that his next generation would listen to Gor Gor's songs and watch his movies. Cheung Wai Kin performed ROUGE (YIN JI KAU) in an early Republic look, then changed and performed a newly arranged REFUSE TO PLAY and WIND CONTINUES TO BLOW.

Kenny Bee (Chung Chun To) brought the song "This Lifetime". "Looking back at the photos on the big screen, a lot of previous scenes all rushed back. I have a lot of opportunities to collaborate with Leslie, but mainly in films as we have made a few. Yet singing we did so relatively few times, because everyone back then didn't always run into each other at singing occasions. However at some private parties, for example Leslie liked to have Christmas party and there would be a live band. Everyone would inevitably sing on the stage. Sometimes he would sing one, I would sing one, then everyone would sing one together. However it is a pity that at the time the mobile phone were not able to record, so few fragments of the videos have remained. I never thought today 'Gor Gor' and I can sing together today. These memories are all inside my brains, and I will never forget them. Leslie Happy Birthday."

The final performer Sam Hui Koon Kit (Sam Gor) first played "Silence is Golden". The big screen appeared "Gor Gor"'s performance footage, creating the visual of Sam Gor and "Gor Gor"'s duet over the air. Then Sam Gor changed some of the lyrics to his own song "Hard To Forget You" and dedicated it to "Gor Gor." In the middle of the song "Who Can Relate", the singers once again appeared on the stage and sang with Sam Gor to "Gor Gor". Gor Gor and Sam Gor's final performance together was at Sam Hui's retirement concert in early 1992. At the time Gor Gor who has "retired his microphone" for 3 years in order to support his idol and good friend made a special exception to perform SILENCE IS GOLDEN with Sam Gor.

Before the concert was officially finished, the big screen played "Gor Gor"'s love Daffy Tong Hok Tak (Tong Tong)'s voice recording. Tong Tong said, "Hello everyone. Today is Leslie's 70th birthday. We are here to wish him a happy birthday. After so many years, Leslie has not changed at all. He is still handsome, still charming. His films are still so good, his songs are still so good. What has changed is us. We are slowly getting old, head full of white hair, face full of wrinkles; but our feelings for him have never changed. We still miss Gor Gor, still love Gor Gor. We continue to love Cheung Kwok Wing together today. Leslie, Happy Birthday!"

Known as "Ghost King", experienced artist Simon Lui Yue Yeung passed from stomach cancer at age 62. His Ma Li confirmed the news. Many of his friends in the industry were surprised. Emily Kwan Bo Wai could not speak from weeping. Amy Yip Chi Mei even recalled her recent encounters with Lui Yue Yeung.

Out of the public eye for a long time, Lui Yue Yeung had cancer before. It unfortunately returned over a year ago and he passed away from stomach cancer on the 7th of this month. When he passed his wife was by his side. His family hoped to handle the funeral in a low key manner. Lui Yue Yeung was rather active in the 90s film industry, making supernatural film series TROUBLESOME NIGHT (YUM YEUNG LO) with Louis Koo Tin Lok, Ng Chi Hung and had decent relationships with them. Ng Chi Hung stated that he would head north and see him off, "I have know him since working on movies together to now. I wish a safe journey for my good brother, no sickness or pain in Heaven."

Edmond Poon Siu Chung worked with Lui Yue Yeung at the radio station and later took over his Metro Radio supernatural program. Poon Siu Chung said that at the time he has not yet had the opportunity to work with Lui Yue Yeung on the program because Lui Yue Yeung had another mission -- to train a group of new DJs. In his impression he had a strict side with newcomers. He valued efficiency at work and was very fast paced. In 2023 Poon Siu Chung invited Lui Yue Yeung for an interview on his ViuTV program. "Although he was 'Ghost King', on the program he said that he has not had any supernatural experience."

Yip Chi Mei revealed that in recent years she has run into Lui Yue Yeung in Guangzhou many times. Later she heard that due to throat cancer he had difficulty speaking. He kept up with treatment and his voice became extremely hoarse, his condition was heartbreaking. Seeing her good friend suffering, she at the time comforted him. "I understood. That's life. People have a lot of cancer cells, fighting a war against themselves. There is nothing we can do." She lamented the impermanence of life. When Heaven arranged for you to go then you go. She sent my condolences to his family.

Currently working on a film in Malaysia, Kwan Bo Wai wept and pointed out that Lui Yue Yeung was always great to her. Earlier when she hosted a ViuTV program, he immediately returned to Hong Kong to support her without pause. "I didn't know that he had stomach cancer, but two years ago when he returned to Hong Kong he called me to meet for meal. At the time he said that he was not feeling well." She also recalled that when they worked on the TVB series THE VAMPIRE RETURNS (DAI TAU LOK YI DAU JEUNG SI) they had a fire scene. Lui Yue Yeung at the time took great care of her, even removing his jacket to keep her from the flame.

Lui Yue Yeung in 1988 entered the business after graduating from the TVB artist training class. Early on he participated in variety programs and series performances. Later he switched to be a radio program host and rose to fame with supernatural programs and the classic program BANANA CLUB, in addition he performed in many horror films like TROUBLESOME NIGHT (YUM YEUNG LO) and thus was dubbed "Ghost King". Among his TROUBLESOME NIGHT roles, the "storyteller" Brad Pitt was the most classic and the memory of a generation growing up. Aside from on screen performance, Lui Yue Yeung later retreated behind the camera as a director and a producer. He also provided his voice to animated films MOSTERS INC. and MONSTER UNIVERSITY. He also created a song for Cally Kwong Mei Wan. In the 2010s he gradually switched to business, opened a restaurant in mainland China and settled in Guangzhou.

In 2012 he made a guest appearance in the Chapman To Man Chak and Ronald Cheng Chung Kei starred film VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET), the "Beef Favorite" scene has become a classic scene.

Lui Yue Yeung married Ma Li, a female anchor 21 years his junior. They met due to work. At the time Ma Li as a mainland television station news anchor, they met because of an artist interview. Despite their age difference he still began his pursuit. In 2012 he and Ma Li made the trip to Hong Kong to register their marriage and had one son after. Lui Yue Yeung said that he turned down far away jobs to spend more time with family, but over the years divorce have been frequently rumored between them. Ma Li has been active on social platforms but rarely mentioned her family status.

Studied film in college, Yan Ting Chau two years ago revealed that he was preparing to write and direct his first film that would be based on the Hong Kong mystery "Rainy Night Butcher" Lam Gor Wan, THE NIGHT STALKER (YU YEH JI TOH). At the time he said that he has invited very prominent actors to participate, with the producer of the Dayo Wong Tze Wah starred AGENT MR. CHAN (DONG DUK DUT GUNG) Chan Wing Lun as the producer. Chau Yan Ting said, "THE NIGHT STALKER is not remaking the past case, but what would happen if the case would happen today? I can't reveal too much for now, but it will definitely have a huge impact on everyone."

Tin Kai Man recently attended an event and mentioned that several new films would be coming to fruition, revealing that Dayo Wong Tze Wah would be working on new director Chau Yan Ting's movie. Photos of Wong Tze Wah and Simon Yam Tat Wah having a private chat with Chau Yan Ting and a man with their backs to the camera circulated online. T The man was reportedly producer Chan Wing Lun, making people think that the prominent actors Chau Yan Ting said to have invited to participate in THE NIGHT STALKER (YU YEH JI TOH) were Wong Tze Wah and Yam Tat Wah. Chau Ya Ting has not responded yet, but people online are already very excited about the roles Wong Tze Wah and Yam Tat Wah would play. Yam Tat Wah played Lam Gor Yu in 'DR. LAMB' in 1992, with the character based on Lam Kwok Wan himself.
