The Emperor Motion Pictures' 2024 release, THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) has surpassed HK$ 170 million at the box office to become the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in the history of Hong Kong film. It has even won five awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards. This year the original team "returned" to begin production on the new film "1971" (tentative title), and invited the Berlin Best Actor, the "Game of Thrones" Iain Glen as a surprise addition; recently a production start ceremony took place and attendees included the chairman of the Emperor Group chair Albert Yeung Sau Sing, director Anselm Chan Mou Yin, Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Michael Hui Koon Man, Michelle Wai Sze Nga, Iain Glen, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Tommy Chu Pak Hong, Alex Fong Chung Shun, Philip Ng Wan Lung and so on.

The film would be Director Chan Mou Yin personally written all new story, focusing on the historical turning point of Hong Kong's official establishment of monogamy in 1971, as well as the humanity and emotional interweaving of the changing times. He said, "After THE LAST DANCE, I always wanted to make a film set in the 1950s and 60s; so the team and I worked hard to find interesting propositions from the period, until I thought of "monogamy." In the eyes of modern people like us, this type of marital relationship has been taken for granted; but 60 years ago the 'Great Qing Dynasty laws' still existed and allowed men to have three wives and four concubines, so the process of transforming from the concubine system to the present-day monogamy is the direction of the story I want to create this time." Yeung Sau Sing said in support, "The subject of 1971 is unique and the script is full of depth, and I have full confidence in this new work."

Tze Wah described the role in the new film would be drastically different from before, could be said to be unfathomable and even more complex. He needed to constantly explore it with the director, "This time my relationship with Hui Koon Man could be said to be the complete opposite of THE LAST DANCE. Whether it was the relationship between the two characters, to the structure of the whole film have gone to another level. As for working again with Director Chan Mo Yin, our chemistry is getting better and better; and from general obedience to full obedience. Because the last time we collaborated, everyone's opinions were slightly different and the director's idea brought great results. So Hui Koon Man and I fully surrendered this time and believed in the director's choice." He also played coy and said that this time he was very pleased and satisfied, because he did something that he has never tried before in his film career. He might wish to do more. Hui Koon Man said, "Every collaboration has a different spark. Working with Director Chan and Tze Wah again, it would not be a repeat but to go to another level. This time, the work pattern is larger, full of a sense of the times. The cast and the crew are very involved. This type of growth is the most interesting part of creating. I believe the audience would not only definitely gets a sense of freshness but also experience the sincerity of our entire team."

Chan Mou Yin felt that the enjoyment would be greater than the pressure in this production, as he believed that every filmmaker would have a dream of making a period store. The process has been very pleasant and his collaboration chemistry with Wong Tze Wah and Hui Koon Man is even deeper. With THE LAST DANCE team and great actors, a group of friends who like to act gathered to act. He said that being able to invite Iain Glen to join the team was his and the team's honor, saying that Iain Glen's role was very special Iain Geln praised the 1971 production was very excellent. Shooting every scene, stepping onto each production location have left people in awe. This experience has left him with beautiful memories and an incredibly lucky and happy time.

Lam Ka Yan and Wai Sze Ngan both faced "license test" from Chan Mou Yin and admitted that the pressure was not light. Lam Ka Yan put all of her effort into her role. "The director asked the actors to perform in British English. Because the character was in the 1960s and had an upper class society background, she also had to have certain level of education. I have to handle the unique demands of the character." Lam Ka Yan said that the director paid attention to details and tested her immediately response, which felt very exciting to her and was a great challenge. He was very honored to work with Hui Koon Man for the first time. She has known Wong Tze Wah for over a decade but they would collaborate on a movie for the first time. Both Wai Sze Nga and Lam Ka Yan played lawyers in the film, and their relationship was like that of a mentor and a friend. "This time would be our third collaboration. I like my character respect Lam Ka Yan very much, on the set privately we would exchange acting tips."

The fourth time to participate in the work of Chan Mou Yin, Wai Sze Wing in this era film played the role of professional lawyer. She joked that she too was taking the "license test", the pressure was not light but also full of freshness. She was grateful to the director every time to give her some new challenges.

[2026.07.09] RENCI YEUNG INSISTS ON PERFORMING DESPITE INJURY

The film has had decent word of mouth after its release, so the efforts of Peter Chan Charm Man and Renci Yeung have not gone wasted

The Ling Man Lung, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Peter Chan Charm Man, Ronald Lam Tsz Kit and Kenny Wong Tak Bun starred film UNIDENTIFIED MURDER (UFO LEI KEI MING ONG) after just two and a half days in release has accumulated HK$ 1 million at the box office. Even rarer was on the second day of the release of its box office exceeded that of the opening day, reflecting its continued rise due to word of mouth.

The film and the actors were well received, some online even crowned Chan Charm Man as the movie MVP. Referring to the film shoot in the winter, for a few days they encountered the coldest weather at the time on location on Ma On Shan. On the day of the shoot the temperature was only 12 degrees. The always professional Chan Charm Man said, "Fortunately at the time not every night was cold, only a few nights were particularly cold. Of course in order for the body to maintain muscle and warmth, all of us have worn added layers and heat pads. Because we all knew that the shoot schedule was urgent, we didn't dare to get sick." Conceivably being stark naked in the cold must be particularly memorable for Chan Charm Man. He said, "The reason to go so far, first of course I believe in the director and the team, secondly I think today's story or character has to go so far in order to be close to reality; so I am not the one taking risks, truly the role and the plot need it."

On the other hand, among the videos the film company released yesterday, lead actress Yeung Sze Wing was caught in a wheelchair on the set. Actually soon after the production began, Yeung Sze Wing fell in the forest. The crew immediately sent Yeung Sze Wing to the hospital for medical treatment, and she was diagnosed with a fracture. Due to the film's limited production budget, the day after Yeung Sze Wing's injury was originally scheduled to shoot an important group scene. In addition every scene on the script required Yeung Sze Wing to participate. Just when the director thought about how to schedule the shoot, Yeung Sze Wing appeared on the set as scheduled and greatly moved the two directors. Regarding the insistence on performing injured, Yeung Sze Wing smiled and said, "Because I know that the two directors under the funds of 3 million, every shoot day and even every scene was implemented with closely control the cost; plus this movie has mainly group scene, the participation of each character is indispensable; so after taking a night off, I go to the set as usual and try to coordinate with the shoot as much as possible." She even joked that her co-stars often pushed her wheelchair as a prank, from a positive perspective it was a way to strengthen their bond.

The Stephen Chow Sing Chi (Sing Yeh) directed and written film KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK) stars Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba and Lay Zhang Yixing, with special performance from famous actor Carina Lau Ka Ling and Japanese star Tekaru Satoh. The film officially announced the release date of July 11th. As soon as the news came out, Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi almost simultaneously booked 18 private screenings to send full support with the action for the integration of kung fu and women's football elements of the work. Cheung Pak Chi was very attentive, the headshot of the booking was her profile photo from the film SHAOLIN SOCCER (SIU LUM JOOK KAU). This also allowed her to quickly land on the platform hot search list, as people online praised her sincerity as "forever moving."

The film recently released an overseas version of the trailer, the 3 leads Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba and Lay Zhang Yixing finally "appeared". Although only through a close-up shot, they were all of expressions. Wearing a sports jacket Dilraba had a sad look on her face, Zhang Xiaofei's eyes were fierce and very strong, and Zhang Yixing as a coach was very intense. The advanced sales box office has exceeded 20 million yuan (about HK$23.09 million) as of 4 p.m. yesterday, and some pointed out that Dilraba, Zhang Yixing and Chow Sing Chi would attend the audience appreciation show in Changsha on the 12th of this month.

Less than a week from the release of the film, the publicity work was urgent. As the director Chow Sing Chi also made a move, on the official website he shared a video of him turning into "Captain Tsabasa" as he blew up a goal with a kick. His ball skill won a lot of praise.

The Stephen Chow Sing Chi written and directed film KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK) has been scheduled for a mainland release on July 11th while its Hong Kong release date has yet to be announced. Yesterday the film company officially released the teaser poster, trailer and the cast, with the Golden Rooster Award Best Actress Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba and Lay Zhang Yixing as its stars. Carina Lau Ka Ling and Japanese star Takeru Satoh made special performances. Sisley Choi Si Bui, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, MC Jin (Auyeung Ching), former Chinese women's soccer player Zhao Lina and Japanese dance group Avantgardey also participated.

In the 22 second KUNG FU SOCCER teaser, a female player's silhouette performed a scorpion kick in mid air. The ball went into a flock of birds in the air and even a plane had to swerve to avoid it. A female voice said, "Are you joking? I don't believe it! Kick the ball back and let me try!" A girl appeared from the tree and an explosion took place. At the end, a male voice said, "This is too exaggerated!"

Producer Sze Yan Ngai posted on social platforms the KUNG FU SOCCER release information and a conversation with Chow Sing Chi. He asked, "Sing Yeh, is it time to decide on the release date?" Chow Sing Chi replied, "0 promotion release, how amazing it that?" He answered, "Amazing! I really wouldn't have guessed it!"

"See you at the Shenzhen premiere next week, Stephen Chow."

Last night Sze Yan Ngai again posted a video of Chow Sing Chi showing off his ball skills on the set, describing his kick as "one kick would blow up the bar".

Ling Man Lung, Kenny Wong Tak Bun, Peter Chan Charm Man, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Ronald Lam Tsz Kit, and Alan Luk Chun Kwong went to the cinema yesterday (the 4th) to promote the movie UNIDENTIFIED MURDER (UFO LEI KEI MING ONG) and thank the audience. In the afternoon they distributed space parcel gifts in Yuen Long and attracted dozens to line up.

During the thank-you session Yeung Sze Wing saw the audience laughing heartily and the on-site response was very positive, which made them happy too. The funniest part was when some viewers asked Ling Man Lung if he was as straightforward as his character in the film, leaving him at a loss for answers. In the film Chan Charm Man shows off his goods, which made people laugh. If the box office would be ideal, would he "manipulate his asset" again? He immediately changed the topic, using the World Cup as an example. "What I most want is for Hong Kong cinema to be like Cape Verde's team, participating in more foreign film festivals so that more movie fans can get to know them and Hong Kong cinema can gain some recognition." Wong Tak Bun chimed in, saying that if the box office would perform well, the original team might make a sequel. However it would depend on the public's response and then they would have to find ways to raise funds before it could happen. He did not dare predicting whether the box office would break the 10 million mark, as he joked, "The recent competitors have been too strong, but we're not weak either." Ling Man Lung suggested making the sequel a 'Lord of the Rings version,' or renaming it 'CIAO, UFO MURDER (JOI GEIN UFO LEI KEI MING ONG).' Yeung Sze Wing avoided saying if her boyfriend Owen Cheung Chun Long has already seen the new film, only saying that all her friends and family have been ready to support her.
