Yan Ting Chau (YT), Gin Lee Hung Ngai and Jaime Cheung Tin Wing
attended a carbon neutrality event press conference yesterday. Today is
YT's 37th birthday, and many fans at the scene sang a birthday song for
him. He also went to every corner of the stage to shake hands with fans
and get up close.
YT's birthday is today, but he still have to direct the new film
THE NIGHT STALKER (YU YEH JI TOH). He felt that work comes first, and
the birthday does not have to be celebrated on the day of. His
girlfriend would not visit the set tomorrow either. Since he is already
37 has he considered starting a family? He was "freeze framed" to not
answer, but he felt that he has also grown. After all, as people grew
older, they would know how to reflect after accumulating experience.
Regarding the birthday wish, he said that it would not come true if he
said what it was,. Did he want the film to be a big box office hit?
He said that was the direction all the staff were heading toward
together.
Referring to the invitation of Dayo Wong Tze Wah to perform in
this new film, YT bluntly said that working with Tze Wah has been very
pleasant. Before the film production began, the two of them have
already communicated in private. Tze Wah also took the time to explore
the role, so they have worked with each other very happily. How did he
get Tze Wah to perform? YT pointed out that mainly it was the script
because it was the core of a movie. People who like to watch movies
will also focus on the script. In addition Charmaine Sheh Sze Man has
been rumored to participate in the performance. He said that he
absolutely will not disclose that, and then make a "freeze frame"
expression. Would he perform in addition to directing? He remained in
"freeze frame", only saying that the film would be completed before next
year's Lunar New Year and planned for a release next year. YT pointed
out that although it was his film directing debut, he has been a
director since 2014. He has been directed music videso for Kary Ng Yu
Fei and Cheung Tin Wing, so now he has the feeling of returning to his
original industry.
Cheung Tin Wings piano advertisement when she debuted four years
ago was also directed by YT. At the time she was a newcomer, YT
patiently taught her to face the camera and never put up a director's
front. Cheung Tin Wing also has not make a movie before, and said that
she wanted to make comedy as she likes to be funny and make people
happy. "I am funny, only no one would laugh at my jokes!" She even
recommended herself for YT's new film, but YT said that all the
characters have already been arranged. Cheung Tin Wing joked, "I will
visit the set tomorrow. I don't mind being an extra, I can play
'passerby J'."

Nick Cheung, Chung Suet Ying and Yoyo Mung want to collaborate on the sequel to GOOD TRIP
Stanley Yau is happy that his Bali wedding has gone smoothly
Philip Ng reveals that he has a humorous side, as he looks forward to exploring the comedy market courtesy of mingpao.com
The Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Chung Suet Ying, Yoyo Mung Ka Wai
starred film GOOD TRIP (NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG) has had ideal word
of mouth since its release. Its cumulative box office in Hong Kong and
Macao has exceeded HK$ 12 million, and a "sitting on thousand looking at
hundred thousand" celebration banquet was held the night before.
Director Wong Hoi revealed that Cheung Ka Fai intended to shoot a
sequel. MIRROR member Stanley Yau Sze Chun recently married his
girlfriend of 9 years Alina Lee Yan Yee at their wedding in Bali and
officially became a husband. Just returned to Hong Kong after the happy
event, Stanley appeared at the celebration dinner the night before,
his first public event since wedding.
The night before, Cheung Ka Fai, Chung Suet Ying, Yoyo, Philip
Ng Wan Lung, Stanley and two directors Norris Wong Yi Lam and Wong Hoi
attended the celebration. Making a movie again after many years and
achieved good results, Yoyo admitted that she was very happy and
revealed that her husband Ekin Cheng has not had time to watch the
movie. The couple was caught on the streets of Japan earlier, and
was said to be similar in the way they dressed and acted. She said,
"Like an old couple on the street, we aren't deliberately showing off
our love" Some online criticized her being without make up and losing
her figure, Mung Ka Wai neither minded nor avoided. She hoped next
time she would be in even better shape to see everyone. For the sequel
she could consider performing a musical with her husband. She also
revealed that her husband had opinions about what she wore. Before she
left he asked her to "put on more clothes". She joked, "I told me
adding a jacket would be a little better, I wanted to ask him what he
meant." At her earlier interview she was suspected of accidentally
"cursing", she joked that she has decided to talk less. Next to her,
Cheung Ka Fai humorously told her to curse more in order to create a
topic.
Earlier Cheung Ka Fai has said that if he had 100,000 Likes on
the Internet, he would perform a concert; but that night he suddenly
changed his mind, joked that he would not perform a concert but wanted
to open a cafe even more. He also asked how much money would open a
restaurant take, would 200,000 to 300,000 be enough? He then changed
his mind again, saying he wanted to use the money to shoot the sequel.
Yoyo jokingly asked, "US$ 200,000?" Cheung Ka Fai answered that it
would be 200,000 yen. Whether they would make the sequel, the two
directors were invited by Cheung Ka Fai to be interviewed together.
They revealed that Cheung Ka Fai was interested in shooting NGOR AH
DEH SEUNG SAT YUN (MY DAD WANTS TO KILL) and made a musical film.
When asked if he would sing and celebrate when the box office number
would reach 20 million, he stated that he often practiced at home,
hoped to sing the film's end credit song with Chung Suet Ying. He
also revealed that he has often sung the theme song of his movie PEG
O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) recently. Yet he spoke too fast and made
the title sounded like "cooked noodles" (SHOOK MEIN), which cracked
up the whole scene.
Stanley appeared the night before and received congratulations.
When he took the photo, he graciously showed the wedding ring on his
hand. Speaking of the wedding, he said that the process was quite
smooth but the weather did not cooperate for a short time with rain
during the dinner. He recalled that when his wife took her father's arm
and walked into the venue, he was so moved that he wanted to cry.
The family table also deliberately kept two seats open for his late
parents, symbolizing that they witnessed his big event in life together.
He also publicly thanked his wife for arranging the wedding, "This
wedding cost seven digits, brought a lot of happy memories. Special
thanks to Alina for arranging the entire wedding. I was too busy with
my work and did not participate too much, but I knew she was under a lot
of pressure." As for when he would make up the honeymoon, Stanley said
that he would not have time until next year but would leave the location
to his wife.
Referring to the fact that five members of the MIRROR, captain
Lokman Yeung, vice captain Anson Kong Ip Sang, Ian Chan Cheuk Yin,
Alton Wong Chi Tak and Frankie Chan Shui Fai, were unable to fly to Bali
for the wedding due to work, Stanley said that he understood that
everyone would have to work. Although they could not attend in person,
they have already given gifts. He also explained that because he did
not want to take up too many social resources, he asked for the wedding
arrangement to be kept as low as possible. Regarding Jeremy Lee Chun
Kit being moved to tears at the wedding, Stanley smiled and said, "On
the surface we often quarrel, but privately our relationships are
actually very good. I didn't expect Jeremy to be so emotional.
Actually, on the day of the registration signing, many MIRROR brothers
saw the footage of our growth and cried even harder. Fatboy (Leung Yip)
even danced, I almost had to pay him a performance of fee." Former
ViuTV executive Lo Ting Fai, current executive Kam Kwong Sing and
manager Wong Wai Kwan all attended the wedding. Yau Sze Chun said that
although Mr. Lo has transferred to another company, he still was one of
the elders he valued the most.
The cumulative box office of the film has exceeded 12 million,
Stanley said that he knew that the film has received a lot of praise.
He also understood that the film market is difficult at present, and
achieving this result was already not easy. Although the box office
growth rate was slow, he still hoped that the results in the future
would get better and better. As for Cheung Ka Fai's proposal to make a
musical film for the next film, Stanley laughed and said that he could
tailor a song for Cheung Ka Fai.
Ng Wan Lung played the role of a zombie in the film. He said
that he and director Wong Yi Lam met and became friends at the Berlin
Film Festival, so he was invited to perform this role. As for the
cumulative box office of the film in Hong Kong and Macao exceeded HK$12
million, Ng Wan Lung said that he was very happy and believed that good
movies can naturally attract audience support. Participated in the
Cheung Ka Fai directed film THE TROUGH (DAI AT CHO), Ng Wan Lun praised
that he fully felt the funny power of Ka Fai while working with him.
"Earlier while making THE TROUGH I have fought with him. This time we
fight for laughs more." Ng Wan Lung said that he has always liked to
shoot comedy, and in private he also liked to tell bad jokes to cheer up
his friends. Sometimes they would be so rotten that no one would laugh.
He recalled that his friend Andy Tien (On Chi Kit) once said during his
downturn, "If you are willing to show a private humorous and funny side,
it may increase the chance of performance." Speaking of the recent
work, he revealed that several films have been filmed. His company has
also had new plans in negotiations, which will be officially announced
later.

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.

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.

Charlene Choi denies that she is dressed to dispel pregnancy rumors courtesy of mingpao.com
Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa) yesterday attended the "SASA
LADIES' PURSE DAY 2026" press conference, responded to the "pregnancy"
mystery, and revealed the preparation of Twins' December concert and
"ticket debt" troubles.
The press conference of "SASA LADIES PURSE DAY 2026" was held
yesterday. The image ambassador Ah Sa introduced that the event will be
held on November 8 at Shatin Racecourse. The guest performer would be
her good friend Kenny Kwan Chi Bun. Ah Sa joked, "I'm looking forward
to seeing how he would look in pink and a hat!"
Ah Sa recently became involved in a pregnancy mystery. When
asked whether she was dressed to dispel rumors, she smiled and said that
she did not deliberately do so. "It's very normal, the waist is
exposed or it's not exposed!"
Although Twins will be performing concerts in mid-December, Ah
Sa said that she has not yet returned to the fittest figure because she
has been making the film TASTE OF JOY (SIK JU SEUNG). In the film she
played a food critic and had to eat nonstop; originally they would work
for 15 hours a day. On a rare day of finishing early, Raymond Lam Fung
immediately asked her to go for Omakase. She originally wanted to spend
time with her husband, but then took her husband to dinner with her
anyway. Lam Fung smiled and envied her for "not getting fat no matter
how much she eats", Ah Sa chuckled and said that she has been "able to
cover it" and pointed out even he "respectfully" said that she and his
wife have been able to eat the most among people he knew.
In order to prepare for the concerts, Ah Sa has begun to
practice. She stated that she was not aiming to be very thin, but still
hoped that she could train her arms to have curves. The reporter smiled
and asked whether he fitness coach husband was responsible for designing
the exercise plan, she said, "I have asked him and also begun to
exercise, only my mouth has not been too obedient. I cannot keep from
eating. I have been working hard to store fat, which I am waiting for
my husband to help eliminate; but he doesn't like me being too thin!"
She said that she would not find another coach. Twins would perform
concerts in December, and next month she will also work with Gillian
Chung Yun Tung (Ah Gil). Ah Gil has seemed to be able to get fat and
thin easier than her, she said, "She can, I always say being healthy is
the most important. Thin or fat, medium sized bodies are all beautiful
in their own ways!"
Ah Sa has also recently been worried about "ticket debt". In
addition to her own concerts, many friends also asked her to order Joey
Yung Cho Yi's concert tickets. "It is really a wave after another. I
am not even done with my own yet and I am being chased for Ah Jo (Yung
Cho Yi)'s tickets. I have already refused to order tickets of other
companies, now I still need several hundred tickets. I have said that
I would only write it down but dare not to make any promise. I really
have to ask the boss, as I have difficulties with even just 10 tickets.
I don't dare to bother Ah Jo herself."
Regarding the recent rumors that for THIS CITY NEVER SLEEPS
Kelly Cheung Hei Man and Jeannie Chen Ying had scenes added last minute
on the set with wider standards in undressing scenes. Ah Sa admitted
that she has never encountered such requests in her career, only while
making the film DETECTIVE VS. SLEUTHS (SUN TAM DAI JIN) she had diving
and gunfight scenes added. "I am afraid of heights, but it's right for
the script so I dove. Then for a year and a half I had a rash on half
of my body from the stress. After that when I saw the director again, I
felt like I have survived but it was still an experience and
achievement." As for the actress being asked to undress for a scene
last minute, she thought that it would have to be appropriate to the
plot. For her though it would have to pass the obstacles after
obstacles. First of all it would have to pass her manager and
assistant, so no such thing has ever happened.

Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Kathy Yuen (Tong Yee), German Cheung Man
Kit, and Sabrina Ng Bing each faced challenges starring in the film THE
MAGE (SUP FONG FAT SI). Asides dealing with profanity, Chan Ka Lok was
the most worried about bringing bacteria home and affecting the
daughter, who was still in his wife's womb. He also testified that Tong
Yee, who played his girlfriend, had a sour face and was definitely
playing herself. Cheung Man Kit said that dangerous stunts were not as
hard to endure as the dirty environment; playing a female ghost, Ng
Bing said the hardest part was holding back laughter.
Chan Ka Lok often used profanity in the film, and he joked that
might be the most he has used in his acting career. "Director (Danny)
Pang Fat asked for some, and the dialogue itself had some too. The
director also likes to use profanity to express himself. That's the
atmosphere of the production. Many of my performances come from the
director. Besides swearing, I often wipe sweat with a handkerchief and
copy the director's gestures exactly. He asked me to try imitating him
a little, trying to convey that my character has a feeling of being
uneasy -- sweating whether it was hot or cold."
The filming environment was harsh. At that time Chan Ka Lok's
daughter was about to be born. He said that indeed he was a bit
nervous, worried that bringing home bacteria that might affect his
pregnant wife Shiga Lin and their unborn daughter. "Filming in remote
mountains and wilderness, the ruins, dumps, and sewage drains were all
very filthy. I often thought I was done for! After work would I bring
some dirty stuff home and affect the soon-to-be-born daughter. When I
got home, I was terrified and hoped everything was okay. Even I was
disgusted with myself. As soon as I walked through the door, I rushed
to shower. Only after showering would I dare to interact with my wife."
Chan Ka Lok's character was impulsive, relying solely on
intuition and believing in supernatural phenomena without any evidence.
He had many conflicts with Tong Yee, who played his forensic doctor
girlfriend; the Tong Yee played character was determined to have an
abortion for her boyfriend. Already a mother during the shoot, she
expressed conflicted feelings. "I must have empathized with this pain
of being a mother when I performed." The two have played couples
before. Tong Yee joked that what was different this time was that she
could face Chan Ka Lok with a sharp tongue, but he often teased her for
being her true self. She explained that she was just cooler from not
smiling. "Playing a couple before was sweeter; this time was okay too,
very smooth. The character however really fit my personality more, with
both mean and not mean sides being pretty much the same." Chan Ka Lok
laughed and said, "She usually has a sullen face. I've known her for
nearly 20 years, and I only saw her smile when she was about 30. I once
tried telling jokes to tease her but she completely ignored me, which
made me wonder if I had offended her."
In the film Chan Ka Lok had many fight scenes with the highly
skilled Cheung Man Kit. Did he injure him? Chan Ka Lok said, "Actually
I'm really strong! My skills aren't too bad either." He said many
action scenes were very dangerous. While filming the sewer, continuous
heavy rain made the water waist-deep and made stand steadily hard like
in a rushing current. The bottom had rocks and glass. Fortunately he
was very close with Cheung Man Kit, and everyone trusted each other.
Any issues were discussed immediately, and the shoot was always fine.
Cheung Man Kit said that te most dangerous action scene was having Josie
Ho Chiu Yi riding on his shoulder. Did he hurt his neck? He said,
"Luckily No! It's OK, I can handle it; but the filming environment was
a bit dirty. After each shoot I had to shower three times." Ng Bing
tried playing a female ghost for the first time, saying that wearing
white makeup helped her get into character. Usually cheerful, she
admitted she almost could not hold back her laughter during filming.
"The hardest part of filming was holding back laughter. I'm not sure if
I ever laughed out loud! However everyone was so professional, I don't
think I did."
