The Hong Kong and Malaysia co-produced 2027 Lunar New Year comedy film GOLDEN BLESSINGS (WONG GUM HEI S) held its first press conference in Malaysia the previous day. The film was directed by Hong Kong director Mak Ho Pong, and the screenwriter of the IP MAN film series Edmond Wong Chi Wun was the producer and screenwriter. The cast gathered actors from Hong Kong and Malaysia, including five Hong Kong television Best Actor, Best Actress and Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor, including Ruco Chan Chin Pang, Owen Cheung Chun Long, Benjamin Yuen Wai Ho, Mandy Wong Chi Man, Kent Cheng Juk Si, Ha Yu, Emily Kwan Bo Wai, Yanny Chan Yan Yin, Stephen Huyhn (Wong Cheung Hing) and Malaysian actors Cheng Kam Fat and Miko Wong Jie Kee. The film would feature a five-star hotel as the main stage of the story, integrating treasure hunting, love, family and comedy elements into one; a group of people with different backgrounds accidentally gathered together because of a mysterious treasure map, temporarily formed a "treasure hunting team" to sneak into the hotel to find the legendary treasure. In the process misunderstandings and conflicts occurred, a series of comedy ensued and each of their life stories were involved.

At the press conference, several leads took the suitcase to the stage to carry out the hotel "check-in", the host immediately presided over the on-site inspection of luggage. Some people took durian, some people brought toilet brushes. The funniest was that Wong Chi Man's suitcase actually had a whip. She immediately reprised a scene from the film - hitting a water bottle on top of someone's head with a whip. The entire venue cracked up. Playing the mob boss, Chan Chin Pang said that he was very happy to participate in the collaboration between the two places. He revealed that he and the online celebrity Chan Yan Yin would have a romance in order to add more attraction to the film. He also said that the production process was full of joy.

Cheung Chun Long played the role of young genius in the film. He joined the "Treasure Hunt Team" to embark on an adventure. He believed that in addition to bringing joy, the film also hoped that the audience would be inspired after watching and learn "gratitude". "What the characters really seek may not be just gold, but the relationship between people and what is worth cherishing in life." Yuen Wai Ho played a principled hotel manager, and a couple with Wong Chi Man. Regarding playing a couple again, Yuen Wai Ho said, "Although we were once the "best partners", but while working in Hong Kong we don't see each other often; so this time we are very happy to collaborate on a movie again." Wong Chi Man replied, "I have worked with Chin Pang on the drama SECRET DOOR. This would be the first time I work with Chun Long. With Ben there really have been numerous times. Although we haven't worked together for awhile, the feeling is still very familiar. As soon as we take our marks we click right away. However when I work with Ben earlier, he wasn't Papa yet. Now he is a father and we have witnessed each other's growth. I am very happy to be able to make a Lunar New Year film. What could be happier than being able to bring joy to the audience in the New Year?"

Wong Chi Man took advantage of the free time during the shoot to walk around and experience the traditions and customs of Malaysia. She had a more relaxed experience.

Cheng Juk Si and Kwan Bo Wai played a rich couple, the Malaysian goddess Miko Wong Jie Kee played their daughter. She worked hard on learning Cantonese for the role, and joked that finally it came in "handy". She was able to communicate directly with Hong Kong actors.

Ha Yu played the role of the elderly living alone and the owner of the hotel. He described Malaysia as a "second hometown". "The first time I went abroad was Malaysia. Back then I also came to make a film, and came back many years later for productions. It felt so familiar." Malaysia's famous actor and martial artist Cheng Kam Fat in the film played as a stuntman. Because he did not know Chinese, he did his homework in advance and found friends to practice the dialogues. He hoped that he would not slow everyone one.

This year would have been the 70th birthday of Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing, the Hong Kong Heritage Museum would once again hold the MISS YOU MUCH LESLIE 70TH BIRTHDAY EXHIBITION from September 9th this year to May 10th, 2027. The exhibition would feature more than 300 precious items under the theme of "Butterfly", including 11 sets of classic costumes worn by Gor Gor at concerts such as the cloak from the 1989 farewell concert, the golden coat from the 97 concert, and the mesh vest from the 2000 "Passion Concert". For the first time the exhibition also brought parts of Gor Gor's former residence back to life, and showed a group photo of many close friends at his former residence after his death; Daffy Tong Hok Tak also loaned Gor Gor's commonly used desks, chairs and desk lamps to give the audience an understanding of Gor Gor's daily life. Mrs. Chan said, "Many items are very special, like the reconstruction of Gor Gor's former residence it has never been seen before. I hope everyone would be able to understand Gor Gor and his life outside performing a little more completely. The office decoration, that desk, chair, desk pad and desk lamp were also often used by Gor Gor. I didn't dare to ask Tong Tong to borrow these items. Tong Tong after finding about the exhibition suggested, 'Why don't I loan them to you.'" She also said that Gor Gor has laid and sat on another white chair countless times. Later he gave it to her and she took the opportunity to put it on display. During the exhibition, six Cheung Kwok Wing film masterpieces would also be screened, including A BETTER TOMORRORW (YING HUNG BOON SIK), A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SIN NUI YAU WAN), ROUGE (YIN JI KAU), and HE IS A WOMAN SHE IS A MAN (GUM JI YUK YIP).

September 12th this year would have been the 70th birthday of Cheung Kwok Wing. Friend Chan Suk Fun said that the exhibit was very special, especially the restoration of his former home that fans would have never seen before. What moved Chan Suk Fun the most was that the fans engraved the commemorative words on the Stanley Park bench in Canada where Gor Gor used to sit. It have so far endured for 20 years. The exhibit also displayed a 1 to 1 ratio bench replica. Mrs. Chan said, "Gor Gor after bidding farewell to the stage took a short break in Vancouver. He loved to enjoy tea and the scenery at Stanley Park 'Gor fans' 2006 rented a bench there and engraved commemorative words. Now it has been 20 years. I feel this is very touching, so I put it on display. Everyone can sit on the bench and experience Gor Gor's past point of view." A pair of red heels was also in the exhibit. They were originally white and caught Gor Gor's eyes while performing in New York. He personally dyed them red and stuck on glitter, then gave them to Shi Nansun. "The red heels Gor Gor wore at concerts actually had two pairs. The pair on display was once gifted to the late veteran filmmaker Shi Nansun."

On September 12th, Chan Suk Fun's TO LESLIE WITH LOVE concert to commemorate his 70th birthday would take place AXA Bamboo Grove Park in West Kowloon. Performers would include Sam Hui Koon Kit, Karena Mok Man Wai, Kenny Bee (Chung Chun To) and his daughter Blythe Chung Yi, Dicky Cheung Wai Kin, William So Wing Hong, Eliza Chan Kit Ling, Adia Chan Chung Ling, Michael Tse Tin Wah, Patrick Tam Yiu Man and so on. Chan Suk Fun said, "Each singer friend feels strongly about Gor Gor. Every time they participate, they selflessly love Gor Gor and meet with love." The concert would also feature a drone show, performed by 1,956 drones for 9 minutes and 12 seconds and cost seven-digits to produce. A technology company would partially sponsor the show.

Director Ann Hui On Wah, Tin Kai Man, Rebecca Zhu Chenli and Toby Chan Ting Yan attended the Hong Kong premiere of "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE MIDDLE EAST" the night before (7th). Hui On Wah talked about the feeling of receiving the Busan Film Festival "Camellia Award" and also believed that AI production might not take the actor's job; Tin Kai Man revealed that he has been trying to make AI short dramas; with her TVB contract ended, Zhu Chenli performed her first solo show for the first time, denied that she was transitioning to become a singer, and clarified that the wedding news was pure rumor.

Hui On Wah earlier received the 31st Busan International Film Festival "Camellia Award", she joked in an interview, "This time I am happier than before, because I am a little older I am more deserving. If I got it a decade or so ago I would have been a little upset, because I still wanted to make more movies." She revealed that she would attend the award ceremony, as now she still had the energy to receive the award. "At my age I can still personally accept the award, aside from being afraid of falling on the stage I am very proud of myself. I hope in the future I won't have to accept an award in a wheelchair." Would she would continue to make films? She admitted that she still wanted to. Regarding the downturn in the market, she immediately said, "Actually film has been said to be bad for 30 years, but they are still being made. Nothing can be done about the general climate, but you can definitely change your attitude. Don't be so depressed, right now many television series and films need special subjects to be able to attract people." As for the AI craze being accused of taking the actor's job, Ann believed that it might not necessarily. "Recently there have been a TV series that has mixed AI with real people, and the audience would be curious to see it. I don't want to resist using AI for production, which can save money, can generate talk, and actors can still save their strength. As long as it can reduce cost and achieve even better results.; but AI production can't completely replace movies, because watching movies is a part of the entertainment program in people's lives." She stressed that she would face the trend with a positive attitude. Referring to the birth of former collaborator Tang Wei's child, Ann was happy for her and would like to collaborate again if the opportunity would arise.

Tin Kai Man said that he came for inspiration. "This movie is such a hit, I come to learn from it. I have To learn from the good, but I also have to learn from the not so good." Experienced media person Tsang Chi Wah earlier blasted the Stephen Chow Sing Chi directed KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK) for occupying showtimes, which affected the film he admired, THE DATING MENU (CHU SI FAT BAN). As the spokesperson of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers, Tin Kai Man said that film scheduling was a theater issue. KUNG FU SOCCER's Hong Kong box office was not particularly brilliant either. Occupying the majority of the showtimes involved the business agreement between the distributors and the cinema circuits, as well as the cinema circuit's investment background. For example the Dayo Wong Tze Wah starred NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) also had many shows, because the cinema circuit was the film's investor. He said that theaters were very realistic, selling two more times would make money for them. Whether they invested heavily in publicity would also be a factor. The number of shows could not guarantee ideal box office performance.

Tin Kai Man said that the audience now was also very picky, and they had to come up with ways for the audience to go to the theaters like audience appreciation shows. He also agreed that some movies with good word of mouth would have their admission affected due to limited showtimes. "I have discussed this with the cinemas. The response was, 'If you get two more shows, would people come to watch you?' Having shows did not mean that the audience would go and support the film, but without shows some would complain about the lack thereof. The most important is to have the data to bring up with the theaters." In addition earlier he won his first Best Supporting Actor award at the Taipei Film Awards with DOUBLE HAPPINESS. He admitted that his workload has increased, including movies and commercia. He also had different behind the scene production projects. He recently completed the film TIN GUONG HEI (DAYBREAK OPERA). Later he would work on a Lunar New Year film but also want to change his film path. He has been trying the AI shot drama production method. "Currently the selling point for AI is shrinking the cost, but creators have to consider the work first. They have to study its use in detail. Causal use of AI would be very risky." Speaking of the recent popularity of many mainland dramas, he admitted that he has not have time to study them but he has watched with his wife the Wallace Chung Hon Leung starred THE EPOCH OF MIYU (MUK YU GEI).

Toby Chan Ting Yan was interviewed with her friend Rebecca Zhu Chenli (Chu Chu), they said that they had a friend group that met for food from time to time. With her TVB contract ending earlier, Chu Chu recently held her first solo concert in Guangzhou but she denied that she was switching to be a singer. "I just want to break through myself. I think it's fun to be a singer, but it's also difficult." For those online who said that she did not have a representative work to perform a show with, she thought it was normal. "At the show I sang covers, and the unreleased Mandarin song 'Your Smile'. It's just a start. Everything starts from zero." She revealed that she has been negotiating different jobs. In the beginning she encountered many difficulties but she credited her friends for their help.

For the earlier wedding rumor, Chu Chu smiled and said, "Even I don't know. Rumors like these shouldn't be spread. Earlier I have said that I have a male friend who I have been getting to know outside the business." Toby said that she did not know that her friend had someone she was getting to know, and advised her as someone who has been there to get to know each other for a long time. She even more frankly regretted not participating in the "A DATE WITH GODDESS SERIES 2". She believed that Bob Lam Sing Bun would secretly screen for her, but she was in no hurry to date because she would participate in the international pickle ball competition later. She hoped for good results.

Raymond Lam Fung attended the opening ceremony of "Mid-Autumn Festival Pop Up Shop" for the mooncake brand he endorsed yesterday. He said that he would spend this year's Mid-Autumn Festival at work, and would not have any holiday to be with his wife and daughter until the Lunar New Year.

Lam Fung revealed that TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG) has wrapped up production, and he would soon participate in a Lunar New Year film. He also had two or three movies in succession, as well as resuming his concert tour. He was glad that the Lunar New Year film could be a little easier as he would not have to fight, but he would have to do some hand skill training for the role. Its difficulty would not be too high. Lam Fung pointed out that the level of injury from when he made TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER was better than expected, and he also looked forward to the resulting work. In comparison to the last time with TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING), Lam Fung laughed and said that their Four Sons of the Walled City have privately chatted about which one was more difficult. "I think in the first one the fight fights were a little more intense, fighting from the beginning to the end. This time multiple characters joined, and each person had more fight scenes so you could relay back to catch a breath; but the difficulty of the fights was also higher so they trained as they shot. However changes would also be made on the set, in the film some might fight while taking a beating. The selling point of WARRIORS is fighting!" Who was the most injured among the four? He said that each had their own injuries, his legs were so injured that he had muscle tears and bone fractures while his arms were still in recovery. However to be able to complete production within 5 months was definitely a feat. Did his wife Zhang Xinyue's t ache from seeing his injuries? He said, "She cares and brings me something good to eat, but I get fat and thin easily; now I want to stay in shape."

Regarding his boss Koo Tin Lok and One Cool Pictures Co., Ltd. recently being pursued by an offshore company for HK$149 million in debt, Lam Fung said, "I just arrived yesterday and haven't had a chance to get an understanding, and I believe that the matter has entered the judicial process so I am not at liberty to comment Ultimately I support the boss."

Louis Koo Tin Lok and his One Cool Pictures Co., Ltd. have recently been pursued by an offshore company, the British Virgin Island registered company Sino Hero Ventures Limited for more than HK$ 149 million in loans. One Cool Pictures issued a statement yesterday and pointed out that the plaintiff's company has been dissolved for three years and could not be contacted, which also meant that the plaintiff had a breach of contract in its disclosure, and the company reserved the right to pursue.

Koo Tin Lok and One Cool Pictures Co. Ltd. have been accused of twice postponing the repayment date to the end of 2022 after borrowing HK$ 70 million from an offshore company 7 years ago. As of early 2024 the company has already paid back HK$ 13.2 million. Currently including interest the company still owed HK$ 149 million. The offshore company earlier filed a lawsuit with the Superior Court in pursuit of compensation. The plaintiff is the British Virgin Island registered company Sino Hero Ventures Limited, and the defendants in order are One Cool Pictures Co. Ltd. and Koo Tin Lok.

One Cool Pictures' statement said, "The plaintiff's case is incomplete, especially since the plaintiff has not disclosed that the company's registration has been excluded and the company has been dissolved for nearly three years, during which time we have not been able to contact the person in charge of its authorization." It also claimed that the plaintiff' has made disclosure that is in breach of contract, and would reserve the right to pursue the matter.
