The movie COLD WAR 1994 held a global press conference at the Xiqu Center in the West Kowloon Cultural District yesterday. Director Longman Leung Lok Man led dozens of actors of various ages from the film to attend together and generate momentum. At the event Chow Yun Fat thanked young actors for their efforts, which enabled the passing of the torch in the Hong Kong film industry. He emphasized that although the shoot was hard, the juniors were able to persevere and prove that they had a sense of responsibility. He encouraged everyone to continue to work hard.

The main cast members included Chow Yun Fat, Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho), Terrance Lau Chun Him, Wu Kang-ren, Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Aidan Gillen, Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Lokman Yeung, Stanley Yau Si Chun, Angus Yeung Tin Yue, Mandy Tam Man Huen, Samantha Ko Hoi Ning and Adam Pak Tin Nam attended the press conference.

The actors took pictures in groups first, and the two master class Best Actors Fat Gor and Brother Ka Fai appeared hand in hand in the final very cleverly. Later when a number of handsome men took a group photo of the "male god", Aidan Gillen walked between Fat Gor and Brother Ka Fai, and Fat Gor politely moved to the side and gave up the center position to Aidan Gillen. When taking pictures, the always friendly Fat Gor took the lead in sitting on the steps so everyone would be able to get into the shot. Ng Yin Cho, Lau Chun Him and other juniors were flattered. In the group photo session, Fat Gor once again displayed his people-friendly ways, took selfies and guided the lighting positioning on the spot. The scene was very joyful. When the emcee of the press conference, appeared Carol Cheng Yui Ling (Sister Do) appeared, Fat Gor reunited with his "old partner" again and immediately kissed Sister Do on the cheek. As for Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, although he was unable to catch up to the photo session due to traffic jams, he still arrived before the press conference started.

Leung Ka Fai played Lee Man Bun in the film, the young version of whom was played by Lau Chun Him. The two have been accused of appearance clashes, Ka Fai said, "After watching COLD WAR 1994, I was a little suspicious of my performances in COLD WAR and COLD WAR 2 because Lau Chun Him really performed too wonderfully." Did he feel optimistic that Lau Chun Him would win the Best Actor Award again for this film? He said, "I seem to have made a mistake in praising him. Leave that for the audience, after watching the film everyone would naturally understand how good he is. No one should put too much pressure on young people. Like the actors who play the younger version of my staff, everyone is very young. Like Fat Gor says, legacy is the most importance; not to mention that Lau Chun Him is already the Hong Kong Film Critic Society Awards Best Actor." Fat Gor told Leung Ka Fai that if the younger versions Ng Yin Cho and Lau Chin Him would be nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards next year, they would be the guest presenters.

Fat Gor was asked what dialogues in the film were particularly profound? He quoted the dialogue in the film and said, "At this moment, back then the first episode was really exciting, and when I was asked to make (the sequel) I was very happy. This time is like someone dug a well and brought me a sip of water to drink." After that he looked at the young actors behind him and continued, "This film has made the entire film industry a legacy, thank you very much for your hard work so that the film can be passed on from generation to generation. Making movies are hard, but seeing them still here after roughing it for so long proves that they must be able to endure well and continue to work hard." Sister Do said, "You have to be here too." Fat Gor continued, "I would be working until the end, on the day when I won't be here and passing in the line of duty. Many people have said that they would rather die on the set, so I often exercise and run. I would still run at the age of 100, which means I can still act until I am 100 years old." He also told Leung Ka Fai not to drink so much wine, otherwise he would not be able to make films until he would be 100 years old. Leung Ka Fai funnily pouted.

Sing Sing talked about his feelings about making the COLD WAR film series again after ten years. He said that the character has never left him and always inside him. He remembered when he first heard that he would work with Leung Ka Fai on COLD WAR, he was very surprised and asked, "For real?" He also joked that he was able to become the youngest policer commissioner in the film. "For today and always." When Sing Sing was asked about the fact that only his younger version did not appear in the new film, director Leung Lok Man revealed that he already had an idea and would let Sing Sing look over the casting in the future. Sing Sing smiled and said, "Actually I can do it myself."

Fat Gor said that during the shoot he once used his antique camera to take photos for Louis Koo Tin Lok and Kwok Fu Sing. "Koo Tin Lok is the epitome of a rich guy, very stylish; Kwok Fu Sing is like a kid, very handsome!" He mentioned that everyone was like family during the filming. Because after this filming they did not know if they would see each other again ten years later, so they cherished every second. He also joked that he might have to wait until his 90s to work together again. After that he asked Sing Sing and Leung Ka Fai to kiss him together in a warm and funny moment. Director Leung Lok Man also revealed that COLD WAR 1995 has been completed and is currently being edited. Hopefully it would be released this year.

What encouragement would Fat Gor have for his juniors? Fat Gor said, "Being an actor is really about destiny, luck and fengshui; like in surfing some people are killed by a wave, and some people ride the wind and waves; so it's really about luck. For example some actors in this film trained for a few months before the shoot, but were shot to death as soon as they appeared. Many times I see the actor's superficial appearance, but I don't know what happened behind it." He also took Sister Do as an example, "Look at Cheng Nine Units (Sister Do), she is still so thin now; maybe it's because she had a very hard time at that time and couldn't get a good bite to eat." Sister Do explained that because it was a fighting period at that time, Fat Gor pointed out that filming was about the right time, place and people. Leung Ka Fai said, "Speaking of Cheng Nine Unit, I was Leung Thirteen back then. The acting industry was very hard, but I wouldn't say it was rough because filming gave me a lot of satisfaction and happiness. Of course only movies would become hits would actors be able to continue to make a living." Sing Sing also agreed with the importance of legacy and also unity, only then would new actors have the opportunity to perform. He also hoped that the audience would support film. Fat Gor asked Sister Do what advice would she give the industry, Sister Do said, "I have already transitioned into being an emcee." Fat Gor said that he hoped the COLD WAR intellectual property would attract Sister Do back to the film industry. Sister Do joked, "Thank you, I hope so too."

Last night the film team stepped on the red carpet led by a band playing horns and drums, attracting a large number of onlookers. First, the film boss, producer and director took the lead, and then the actors appeared one by one. Out of respect for the occasion, the actors specifically changed into formal and evening wear to attend; when Fat Gor and his wife walked on the red carpet in the finale, the cheers of the audience were deafening.

Ng Yin Cho, Lau Chun him, Wong Dan Nei, Ngai Chun Sun and others attended the global press conference of the movie COLD WAR 1994 yesterday.

COLD WAR 1994 held its world premiere in Shenzhen the day before yesterday, and Ng Yin Cho and Lau Chun him also attended. Ng Yin Cho laughed and said that Chow Yun Fat, Leung Ka Fai and Kwok Fu Sing were all very excited, but he did not expect them to be so involved at their age. "Fat Gor, Brother Ka Fai at their age are still very playful. They dance together and imitate Sing Sing's Generation X trademark move and are very energetic." He himself was equally excited, because he left Hong Kong after completing the film and have not seen everyone for nearly a year and a half to two years.

In the film Ng Yin Cho played the youth version of Choi Yuen Kei and said that because the character has a large number of complex Cantonese dialogues, he took two to three months to practice before filming. Lau Chun Him played the youth version of Lee Man Bun, describing him and Ng Yin Cho clicked at first sight, they had common topics and quickly established chemistry. Lau Chun Him even revealed that Ng Yin Cho gave him headphones he personally designed. He said with a smile, "When I see Ng Yin Cho I want to kiss him. The headphones are so beautiful, I am reluctant to use them. I would even kiss the headphones when I go home to express my longing for him!" He said that he planned to take him to dinner in return. Lau Chun Him also said that his wife Cecilia Choi Sze Wan also liked Ng Yin Cho. Would his wife also want to kiss the "male god" Ng Cho Yin herself? He said, "She would just appreciate from a distance. (Will you bring your wife to dinner with Ng Yin Cho?) My wife is working overseas, so I will have him all to myself!" Ng Yin Cho responded funnily that Lau Chun Him himself was a big gift, the date would be limited to two people and exclude his wife, which made Lau Chun Him blush.

Ng Yin Cho revealed that he is currently filming another movie, so he will stay in Hong Kong for a longer time. Earlier his wife Lisa S. and their daughter returned to Hong Kong to keep him company, but returned to the U.S. after just a week because their daughter had school. When asked if his daughter had any complaints, he laughed and said that he was a "tiger dad"; his daughter enjoyed his absence from home. "Because I am more serious and have requirements for her studies, she thinks I am meaner." He also pointed out that his daughter would not hug him now and only cling to Mama, which made him very heartbroken and even shed tears, "The most heartbreaking is that when she was 8 or 9 years old, she said she stop calling me Daddy, only Dad; but I liked her to call me Daddy." He admitted that he did not dare to imagine his daughter dating in the future, he would not be heartbroken; just worried about who she would meet. His only request was that he did not want his daughter to be deceived in love. Although his daughter is not interested in boys for the time being, he has begun to worry. He joked that if she meets a boy like Lau Chun Him, there will be no problem. He even hoped to have such a son.

Lau Chun Him said that the film had many gunfights and fight scenes, which were challenging for him but he did not feel pressured. Instead the more pressure he had, the worse the performance would become. Ng Yin Cho worked with Lau Chun Him for the first time, and joked that before the shoot began he once asked, "Who is this?" Yet he revealed that before collaborating, he has specifically watched Lau Chun Him's TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) and and BEYOND THE DREAM (WAN OI) and praised him, "This person is very powerful. He is not acting, but completely immersing himself to the role. To be able to do this at such a young age, he is very rare and a very distinctive actor."

Wong Dan Nei played the mob boss in the film, Jeffrey and Michael Ning (Bak Ji) were her right-hand men. They had many action scenes in the film, and they received martial arts and firearms training before filming. Wong Dan Nei revealed that she practiced the "flying dagger" stunt at home. She laughed and said that she saw Jeffrey play the thug with great ruthlessness and was even frightened by it. Jeffrey joked, "I've been practicing this ruthless look for a long time, actually I was born like this." He admitted that bruises and scrapes were inevitable from working action scenes. Wong Dan Nei even revealed that almost all of the eight prop baseball bats he used in the film were broken. During the rehearsal he overheard his co-stars begging for mercy, "Brother, take it easy, it's just a rehearsal!" Bak Ji's stunt double performed most of his action scenes, and he joked that he made a surprising discovery. "The double has a 90% resemblance to my likeness and shape, he is also very agile. I gave him my phone number, as I plan to be his dramatic double from now on."

The fresh out of the oven Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress Liew Chi Yu and Ko Hoi Ning dressed up for the red carpet of the premiere last night. Fish receives shouts of "so beautiful" from many fans at the scene, and she waved her hand coquettishly. Fish pointed out that the cast of this movie is strong. Facing a group of seniors, she was also very nervous during the filming. She revealed that she mainly played opposite the two Best Actors Gardner Tse Kwan Ho and Wu Kang-ren, which gave her acting bug its fill. "Every day is like going to class, learning from them and absorbing their acting skills." She was interviewed at the event the night before and was asked how she felt after winning Best Actress, she admitted that she instead had a feeling of being "seen" in the industry but emphasized that she would not stop because of winning the award. She hoped that everyone would give her room for improvement.

Playing a media worker in the film, Ko Hoi Ning said that she mainly played opposite Ng Yin Cho. Having had fewer opportunities to appear in movies, she bluntly said that this was a great experience.

Ti Lung, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, directors Jacob Cheung Chi Leung and Joe Cheung Tung Cho and others went to the Hong Kong Cultural Center the night before to attend the "Restored Treasures -- THE KID" event. Erickson Ip Ching Lan, who played Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing's son in the movie, also appeared.

As soon as Ti Lung and Lam Ka Tung met, they chatted endlessly. He told Ka Tung to take good care of his health. In a semi-retired state in recent years, Ti Lung was asked if he would focus on taking care of his grandchildren. He laughed and said that he is now "micro retired". "If the time is right and the script is good, I will still want to make films again. Because if I retire for too long I will be rusty, and being rusty is like being irresponsible for the work. That's not good, so I have to keep it hot!"

Regarding the restoration of THE KID (LAU SING YU), Ti Lung sincerely thanked the group of advocates behind the scenes. "This movie has no explosion scenes or gunfights, it is mainly about family, and also a piece to remember Gor Gor (Cheung Kwok Wing) by." In addition to THE KID, Ti Lung and Gor Gor have also collaborated on many classic movies. When asked which one he has hoped would be restored again, he said that he would leave it to fate, Lam Ka Tung joked, "I haven't been the boss for a long time (A BETTER TOMORROW (YING HUNG BOON SIK))." Ti Lung smiled and nodded when he heard this.

Lam Ka Tung talked about his memories from the production. He pointed out that he was still working at the TV station in 1993. Brother Lung (Ti Lung) was filming JUSTICE BAO in the studio next door, and he was with Alex Man Chi Leung (Man Ji) at that time. He heard Brother Lung and Man Ji chatting, so he listened next to them like a child nd at the time same learned a lot. Brother Lung called him "Tung Dee" because of this. He said that the two did not share many scenes in THE KID and hoped to have the opportunity to work together in the future. Ti Lung praised Lam Ka Tung for breaking new ground in filmmaking after leaving TVB, both as a producer and challenging different roles; which opened up many directions for himself. In particular his performance in HAND ROLLED CIGARETTE (SAU GUEN YIN) had both depth and variations. Ti Lung also praised Lam Ka Tung for caring about his seniors and asked him if he has visited the "Se Gor" Patrick Tse Yin recently? Lam Ka Tung revealed that Sei Gor is in good health, has even quit cigars and is very healthy.

In addition, Lam Ka Tung mentioned that he collaborated with "Gor Gor" Cheung Kwok Wing and played his colleagues in the film. They had many scenes together. The heart to heart chat on the beach was even considered the romance of men. The two also became friends in private, and Gor Gor even acted as a driver and took him home. "At the time I lived at Clearwater Bay. Because my license was suspended I didn't drive, Gor Gor often gave me a ride home. Once he even drove me to an elder's home to play mahjong, but his sports car only had two seats. I had to sit in the dog seat spot. The opportunity to have so many interactions with the superstar off screen was very rare, and was a great memory."

Playing Gor Gor's son in THE KID, Ip Ching Lan is already an adult. He called Gor Gor "Ah Wing" in the film and left a deep impression. He pointed out that his movie was made 27 years ago. He remembered the most on scene in which he and Gor Gor lay on the bed and touched each other's ears, and Gor Gor feeding him canned fish to get him to sleep. "I still feel a lot of emotions from watching this movie again. This opportunity was very wonderful, like I was dreaming." Later in ASHES TO ASHES (YIN FEI YIN MIT) he played Gor Gor and Anita Mui Yim Fong's son, then he never participated in film again. Why did he no longer act? He joked, "At the time I was so little it wasn't my decision. Papa and Mama handled it. As an adult I don't particularly resist acting, but I haven't had the opportunity. Currently I work in the healthcare industry."

Away from public appearance for a long time, Josephine Siao appears at the premiere of the film she starred in and produced, THE SPOOKY BUNCH's 4K RESTORED VERSION world premiere. She thanks Director Yonfan for advocating for the film to be restored.

THE SPOOKY BUNCH is Ann Hui's second film as a director. Back then Stanley Kwan was her assistant director. They share the production experience, including Stanley Kwan's claim that Ann Hui scolded him and made him cry.

Stanley Kwan Kam Peng, Ann Hui On Wah, Rebecca Lee Lok Sze and others attended the world premiere of the 1980 movie THE SPOOKY BUNCH (JONG DOH JENG) (4K Digitally Restored Version) the night before as the Hong Kong Pop Culture Fest 2026's Fantasies in Reality: A Cinematic Journey opening film. The film restoration advocate Director Yonfan and the film's lead actress and producer, the 79 year old Josephine Siao Fong Fong (Sister Fong Fong) appeared together, much to the surprise of the entire audience.

Before the movie started, the emcee Tina Liu Tin Lan before inviting Sister Fong Fong to appear asked the audience turned on their mobile phone lights instead of applause to keep from making Sister Fong Fong feel unwell due to her nearly total hearing loss. "Don't clap, the sound wave would make dizzy Sister Fong Fong dizzy for two week. Please welcome her with lights and love." The entire venue switched on the flashlight on their phones.

As soon as Sister Fong Fong took the stage, she blew a big kiss to the audience. She was both excited and excited as she joked, "Thank you very much for not applauding." She got choked up and said, "I feel so happy! Because this movie was shot 46 years ago but still have the opportunity to have a premiere here today (yesterday), I have to thank director Yonfan. Only because of the director would it have this opportunity. I also thank the Hong Kong Film Archive for restoring the film, I think after the restoration it would be very entertaining." She also thanked the film's director Hui On Wah, assistant director Kwan Kam Peng, and others on the same stage one by one. She joked, "It's like the movie has won an award!" Before taking a group photo, Siao Fong Fong added, "One last thing, I wish everyone good health, good health and happiness every day.

Hui On Wah said that although THE SPOOKY BUNCH's subject was horror, the process was without any strand of it; the film's assistant director Kwan Kam Peng said that he grew up watching Siao Fong Fong's movies and described that on the set he turned into a little fan. Playing a female ghost in the film, Lau Tin Lan joked that back then she was just are "little girl". She was very honored to participate in the 8 month long shoot and because of THE SPOOKY BUNCH her love for film was inspired. Lee Lok Sze could not forget about reading the script at night and scared her with the visuals she imagined from it.

Hui On Wah smiled and recalled that when she was filming BOAT PEOPLE (TAU BUN NO HOI), she scolded her assistant director at the time Kwan Kam Pang until he cried. She explained that because the scene with the hydrogen balloon could not be completed after a week, so she was very "frustrated". However she was a person who would forget after scolding people, whether she or others was at fault. Kwan Kam Peng pointed out that although Hui On Wah was not a gentle person, she actually rarely scolded people; nor was she a ill tempered person as she would treat actors kindly. If actors have yet to enter the role, Hui On Wah would pull them aside for discussions. He also named Siao Fong Fong, Deanie Ip Tak Han and Anita Mui Yim Fong as good actors.

As for the current film market, the two famous directors believed that it is related to resources. The film industry is indeed not as rich in resources as it was in the 80s of the last century. Kwan Kam Peng said, "Because of the limited budget, sometimes you have to 'work with what you got', just like (Sammi) Cheng Sau Man took the role in LOST LOVE (LAU SHUI LOK FA) she took zero salary in support." He also sent a message to the younger generation of directors not only to indulge in their own style, but also to move the audience.

In addition, director Jack Ng Wai Lun was also present to show his support. Regarding the film he directed, Dayo Wong Tze Wah and Sammi Cheng Sau Man starred NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) has exceeded HK$ 113 million at the box office in Hong Kong and Macau to become the third highest-grossing Hong Kong film. Was he confident that it would reach second place? He humbly said that there would be still some distance to go, so he had to work hard to catch up. The next day he would continue to thank the audience the next day. Speaking of him and Tze Wah having become a dream team, he joked that as long as it does not turn into actually dreaming he was fine. He would not rule out the possibility of continuing to work with Tze Wah. In addition, in terms of writing scripts Tze Wah was even his elder. Wong Tze Wah not only performed but also gave suggestions, he estimated that with the right subject he would be interested in conceiving the script together. He said that if NIGHT KING's performance would take another step forward, he would look forward to another celebration from the boss. He hoped that Cheng Sau Man would be able to make time to attend.

Although the movie BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) failed to win the award at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, under Louis Koo Tin Lok's banner Fish Liew Chi Yu successfully won the Hong Kong Film Award Best Actress.

She explained that because she hoped to accompany her daughter to witness her godmother's victory, she did not appear in person to support her. "Because since my daughter was born, all of her award show knowledge was from television. I knew that Godmother Fish this year would definitely win, so I promised my daughter to watch Godmother win on television with her." How would she celebrate with her sister? She said that Fish will definitely be busier after winning the award, and will invite her to dinner later. However she hoped the most for them to go on a trip to celebrate.

The Radio and Television Hong Kong organized "47th Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs" award concert was held at the East Kowloon Cultural Centre Theatre on the 24th. This year the event with the theme "Entire City In Love" arranged for singers to interpret their award winning work in an all new "musical theater" format for the audience to diverse song style and creativity of Hong Kong Chinese popular music. Radio Hong Kong also announced that the "Top Ten Chinese Gold Song" would "break out of Hong Kong". In addition to bringing the award concert to the mainland for broadcasting, it would also hold the "Top 10 Chinese Gold Song -- Shanghai Gold Song Festival" in Shanghai to promote cross- regional cultural exchanges through music. In terms of female singers, Gin Lee Hung Ngai won four awards in one fell swoop and became the big winner. As for male singers, Jay Fung Wan Him and Terence Lam Ka Him also won four awards with the music composition award; one of which covered both performer and composition awards.

In addition to the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Algernon Yau Ying Wah, the guests attending the event included the Director of Broadcasting, Angelina Kwan Yuen Yee, the Chairman of the Composers an Authors Society of Hong Kong (CASH), Chan Wing Wah, the Chairman of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) Association (Hong Kong), Colin Cheung Kwok Lam, President of the Hong Kong Record Merchants Association, Mimi Chung Wai Wai, Director of the Hong Kong Office of Shanghai Media Group, Yu Hua, the Music Broadcasting Host of Beijing Radio and Television Station, Wang Jingyu, and the Manager of the Television Program Division of Teledifusao De Macau S.A., Leung Chi Yong.

Before the award presentation concert, some of the award-winning singers and units appeared for an event group photo, then the event held a souvenir presentation ceremony to present souvenirs to guests and representatives of supporting organizations.

The evening kicked off with an excerpt from the Hong Kong Dance Company's performance of "KUNG FU ARTISTRY", which used body language to interpret Bruce Lee's "No Way as Way", echoing the unique charm and vitality of the Hong Kong pop music scene. Afterwards, the officiating guest, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Yau Ying Wah, accompanied by nine winners of the "Excellent Pop Singer Award", presided over the launching ceremony of the musical theater, injecting momentum into the Gold Song concert and sending love to the whole city through musical notes.

Different from the previous format, Radio Hong Kong began to present some awards one after another last month. The "CASH Best Creative Singer Award", "Best Chinese Record Award", "Global Chinese Supreme Gold Song Award" and "Best Male/Female Pop Singer Award" were announced yesterday. Winning the Top Ten Chinese Gold Song Award for LOVE SURVIVAL GUIDE, James Ng Yip Kwan admitted that he would leave the record company during his performance on stage and said that he was attending the awards ceremony as a TMG (TVB Music Group) singer for the last time. After winning the award, Ng Yip Kwan said in an interview that he still had a contract with Shaw Brothers and TVB, but his contract with TMG has expired. He has decided not to renew the contract, and planned to release new songs in the form of self- financing. Currently he first had to learn how to be an independent singer. "I have to handle the song copyrights and the matter of starting a company. This year I want to be a little rebellious, and try what completely owning the song right feels like. I am a big boy now, if I am not willful once it would be too late. My wife knows about my ideas. Originally we wanted to move to a bigger place, but right now we are saving up 'ammo'. We shouldn't be so frivolous. (How much ammo do you have?) I saved up 6 figure." They have decided to continue to live in their Tuen Mun love nest for awhile and would rather save up the money they would have spent dining out for music videos. When asked if any other company has beckoned to him, he admitted that he has not yet had contact with other record companies. He also complained about "not knowing how expensive rice is". "I have discussed with a producer that actually making a song is 20 to 30% more than expected. Right now I just found out that making music video requires paying royalty." He revealed that he has received some demos so far, but he would choose very carefully to ensure accuracy before releasing the first song. Janice Vidal (Wai Lan) has just celebrated her 44th birthday. She said that winning an award was one of the best birthday gifts, but what makes her even happier was being able to meet singers she has not seen in a long time. Recently touring in the mainland, Janice has planned to hold the final leg of the tour at the Hong Kong Coliseum at the end of the year and planned to invite her former boss Leon Lai Ming as a guest. She also stated that she wanted to date, but her friends all thought that she already had an significant other so she lacked suitors.

In order to further promote Cantonese music outside Hong Kong, Radio Hong Kong will not only invite Shanghai Media Group China Dragon TV as the exclusive television media partner in the Mainland to broadcast this year's awards concert, but also hold the "Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs - Shanghai Gold Song Festival" in Shanghai, including the RTHK Vinyl Pop Up and the Cantopop Party, etc., to enhance the status of local pop music in the Chinese-speaking music scene, use music to tell Hong Kong stories and promote cultural exchanges.

This year's awards concert was ingeniously designed, and RTHK invited musical director Tom Chan Yan Shek as the creative consultant to connect the "Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs" and the songs of guest performers Mike Tsang Pei Tat and Phil Lam Yik Hong in the form of "Musical Theater" to weave together six story chapters: "First Sight", "Confused", "Then", "Flame Break", "Imprint" and "Unknown". The highest honor, the "Golden Needle Award", was awarded to the musician Lowell Lo Koon Ting. He performed a number of classics, demonstrating the outstanding strength of a pioneer singer and film score master.

The CASH Best Creative Singer Gold Prize went to Lam Ka Him. He happily said, "This is the first time I won this award. Thank you to singers who like my creations and my family." He also won Excellent Pop singer and Gold Song with APRIL WHISPERS. Because he composed APRIL WHISPHERS he had 4 awards total. He said that last year he created an album he was very pleased with, fortunately it was sold out. "The album had a hidden track WHENEVER CHANGE HAPPENS. I want to thank Mr. Lo Kwok Jim. It was his work from around 50 years ago. Listening to it again 50 years later I still feel it is very touching and very great. Thank you to the singers, fans and family who like the album." Lam Ka Him was in a rush to return home and feed the dog, so he was sorry that he was unable to speak with the media. Silver prize recipient Fung Wan Him said, "This year is my 15th anniversary in the business. I am very happy to be able to work on a job I like: singing, composing and creating. I am the luckiest to have your (fans) support." Sweeping up 4 awards including the CASH Best Creative Singer and Excellent Pop Singer, he joked about not being able to win the Most Excellent Pop Singer Award, "Don't be too greedy in life, work hard and try again next year!" When asked how he would celebrate, Fung Wan Him answer, "I used to go home and have a burger, but I just got back from Canada and ate a lot. While working on a commercial I kept eating, so I really am a little fatter. The company told me to lose weight. (Do you have any plan to your 15th anniversary in the business?) I would probably celebrate with fans.

The event this year broke the tradition and brought out award winning singer in a musical format. The Most Improved Silver prize recipient Ashley Lin (Lam Hoi Ling) appeared in eye catching blue. The Most Promising Rookie silver prize recipient Amy Lo Wai Man appeared in a cowboy look. Yanting Chau dressed up like a race car driver and rapped the "Excellent Chinese Pop Song" GAME ON with endless cheer from the audience. "Best Band/Group" bronze prize girl group COLLAR only sent Sumling Li, Winka Chan and Gao Sham Ching Hau to represent them but received great treatment from the organizer RTHK as each got to appear on the stage for a solo performance. They said that other group mates had work and were unable to join them. Winka Chan earlier performed with boyfriend Chu Wan Pin for the first time, fortunately they did not argue. Her boyfriend was the organizer, so she joked that she had class concept and gave him a little respect.

MC Cheung Tin Fu was unable to attend but sent a video to share his feeling. "Thank you to every fan and listener who voted for me, every one of your vote has given me this award. Thank you to the behind the scene team for their effort, because this award is equivalent to everyone's recognition and is the greatest achievement. I am sorry I can't accept this award in person and witness this joyous event. In the coming days, I hope to be like this album title SWEET AND SOUR. Maintaining the tradition while being able to immerse in innovative style, I look forward to everyone's continuing support for me."

Lee Hung Ngai after winning the Most Excellent Female Pop Singer she was very happy, especially winning her first Best Chinese Record Female Singer. She has wanted this award for a long time already, hoped to be continue to work hard, be able to win the Best Record Award and continue to be "Goldy".

75 year old Lo Koon Ting received the Golden Needle award from Selina Chow Liang Shuk Yee. "Thank you very much to Radio Hong Kong for giving me this honor of the 'Golden Needle Award'. I feel I am very lucky to be able to choose music as my lifelong professional, and to have a good wife to accompany me on every step on the life journey. Without Tong Shu Sum I wouldn't be receiving this award. Thank you fans, I will continue to work hard because chasing dreams has no age limit. Miracles would definitely continue to appear." He at the "music theater" 5th chapter performed with a guitar MAY PEOPLE ENDURE, WALK WITH YOU and SKY BIRD.

Yanting Chau recently promoted his new song DESTINED LOVER, has been suspected of promoting with an intimate photo with music video co-star Jace Chan Hoi Wing, led to suspicions of publicize a romance, and disappointed many fans who dubbed him "Market Ting". Last night he said through Public Relations that he had several allergy and did not speak to the media.

CONSTANCE (Chan Hong Tai) received the Most Promising Rookie gold prize. Earlier she was rumored to be in love with tennis player Coleman Wong Chak Lam. When asked how she would celebrate with her boyfriend, she indirectly admitted the relationship. "Boyfriend isn't in Hong Kong, but later would probably watch the replay. (Is he competing overseas?) Yes." They each were working hard on their own? She nodded and smiled sweetly, "yes!"

Singer Cloud Wan Ho Ying won the "Excellent Pop Singer Award" at the "47th Top Ten Chinese Gold Song Awards Concert" and performed ACROPHOBIA. In order to promote her new album "Silver Lining", she recently held the "Cloud's Silver Lining Trip Concert" at Central. More than 300 fans sat on the "Little Cloud Carpet" on the ground to support her.

She asked fans at the event: "Are you nervous? I'm so nervous, I'm a 'P person'. As a tour guide, I'm nervous for everyone!" When she covered Fiona Sit Hoi Kei's BETTER ME, Cloud sentimentally said, "No matter what you do right or wrong, there is a reason. I hope everyone wakes up every morning like me with a new version of themselves." She said in an interview, "I'm worried about whether this idea works or not? Listening to it with headphones will be very detailed and magnify the flaws." Yet after appearing on the stage, she felt relieved after feeling the energy and reaction of the audience.

Since the release of the movie NIGHT KING (YEH WONG), its box office has repeatedly reached new heights. As of 8 pm on April 23rd, its box office has exceeded about HK$112 million. In order to celebrate the good results, a celebration banquet was held in Tsim Sha Tsui the night before. Director Jack Ng Wai Ln attended with Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Dee Ho Kai Wah, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip, Sumling Li, Mandy Tam Man Huen, Louise Wong Dan Nei and other actors. Ng Wai Lun said on stage that NIGHT KING was only a few hundred thousand away from surpassing TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) at the box office and jump to the third place in the Hong Kong Chinese box office list. Wong Tze Wah joked that the director came to "raise funds" and presented a lighter that he has collected for many years to cheer the director on.

Ng Wai Lun and Wong Tze Wah both expressed their delight at the success of NIGHT KING, which was only one step away from breaking the record of A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG). Becoming the box office guarantee in recent years, Wong Tze Wah admitted that he did not expect the box office to be so eye-catching. He said with a smile that if NIGHT KING would successfully reach third place, he would be "running" the top three Chinese film box office in Hong Kong. As for whether he intended to challenge the first place THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK), he responded humorously, "After breaking one dose after another, don't be too greedy. Earlier a master has predicted that we would have a chance." Speaking of whether they would do more to increase the box office, he laughed and said that he did not know what else could be done. He pointed out that many reviews thought that the director's cut was better than the Lunar New Year version, so they let the work speak for itself. Ng Wai Lun laughed and said that if another extended version was to be released, the audience might be upset. He also emphasized that the director's cut was very close to the original script and was the version he was most satisfied with. When would the new film start production? Wong Tze Wah rushed to answer, "Save it for discussion at tonight's celebration. Back then at A GUILTY CONSCIENCE's celebration everyone got drunk and casually spoke, in the end after all the talk we made NIGHT KING."

Sammi Cheng Sau Man would perform concerts at the Kai Tak Stadium. Wong Tze Wah once said that he would consider singing and dancing as a guest. Two nights ago he said that the situation forced him to say that. He did not know whether work would prevent him from supporting her show yet. "I am demanding of myself, but I know that I would definitely sing off key and off beat, dance like I am falling away, and practicing the guitar requires time."

Regarding Yeung Sze Wing's passion scene with Ho Kai Wah and Henry Chan in the director's cut, Ng Wai Lun said that he was used to watching Japanese "love action film" and thought that the 3 person scene was not too intense; but Wong Tze Wah laughed and said that as a viewer and a friend, he felt "very extreme and fiery hot". As for the bed scene with Fish Liew Chi Yu, Wong Tze Wah wanted to thank the director for arranging it to be completed in a dark atmosphere, and stated that if he wanted to shoot a 3 person scene he would "not be OK"; not because of idol baggage, but because he was afraid that the audience would feel sick. He was also happy that the scenes with Sumling Li, Tam Man Huen and Yeung Sze Wing were able see the light of day in the director's cut.

Yeung Sze Wing said that some of her female friends after watching thought that in comparison with Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, Hong Kong's standards were considered conservative. Did she have a bottom line for this type of scenes? She said that whether she could accept a bolder performance would depend on the script and the role. She said with a smile that her scale "often wanders". She admitted that she has been mentally prepared before this filming, after receiving the script the director has already given her "psychological consulting" and Ho Kai Wah took the initiative to contact her and communicate. The set was also cleared during filming. This time could be regarded as the most daring time in her film career. As for whether her boyfriend Owen Cheung Chun Long has seen the director's cut, she avoided the subject and only said that most of her family and classmates have watched it. She thanked them for their support. Recently she in the social platform "extra" used foul language fluently, which she joked that she too was shivering after speaking it. Ho Kai Wah described that that three person scene was one of the most nervous three person scene in his life. Fortunately he has known the co-star for years so communicating was convenient. "Renci said to me with a firm look in her eyes, finish it in one take! Of course we couldn't, since we had to shoot different angles." He admitted that at the time he worked on the kiss scene with Yeung Sze Wing after having "garlic baby bok choy", before the shoot he has studied "love action films" from different places.

Lo Chun Yip and Wong Dan Nei's bed scene appeared in the director's cut. He joked that that day he had to stay up to work overnight. Earlier he and his girlfriend Liew Chi Yu after attending the Hong Kong Film Awards celebration were caught returning to the hotel. He said that the Hong Kong Film Awards nominees were all arranged to have one night stay, but that night they were very tired and just wanted to rest. After consideration he took his girlfriend to celebrate with all you can see durian. Liew Chi Yu's new film BEYOND THE HOSTAGE CRISIS (JAU CHOOK YUN JI SI GEIN) was based on the Hong Kong tourist hostage crisis in Manila and many online were upset. Some even started a boycott. Lo Chun Yip said that discussing the matter would require very serious handling, he believed that for Hong Kong people it would be difficult to explain clearly in just a few words. He did not participate in the film so he was not at liberty to comment too much.

Tam Man Huen and Sumling Li felt that Yeung Sze Wing's three person love scene was as extreme as imagined and fit the plot. Would they consider passion or even all nude performance? Tam Man Huen said that it would depend on the script and the director, the intimate scenes could not force their way into the plot. She pointed out that if the co-star was handsome like Greg Hsu she could accept that. Sumling Li agreed that it would depend on the script and the staff, saying that she really liked LUST, CAUTION (SIK, GAI)'s Tony Leung Chiu Wai. If he was her co-star she would consider it. "The range could be as high as Leung Chiu Wai and as low as Leung Yip (Fatboy)."

[2206.04.24] FISH LIEW'S NEW FILM BASED ON THE MANILA HOSTAGE CRISIS CAUSES ONLINE CONCERN ABOUT SECONDARY DAMAGE

The fresh out of the oven Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress, Fish Liew Chi Yu became famous as soon as she won. The films she has made in the past have also been arranged for release one after another. However one of the films adapted from the hostage incident in Manila, Philippines many years ago announced that it would be released in Hong Kong, which caused controversy from the outside world. The work was accused of causing secondary harm to those involved and the people of Hong Kong, and was even suspected of "pouring salt on the wound".

Liew Chi Yu plays the gunman's relative and reporter in the movie BEYOND THE HOSTAGE CRISIS (JAU CHOOK YUN JI SI GEIN), which opened with the perspective of survivor Yik Siu Ling. The film was adapted from a serious hostage-taking incident that occurred in the Philippines on August 23rd, 2010, when Mendoza, a former Philippine law enforcement officer, took a Hong Kong tour group tour bus with 25 people hostage. The crisis lasted about 12 hours and eventually caused 8 deaths and 7 injuries. At that time Hong Kong television stations broadcast the entire process live, leaving many Hong Kong people traumatized and even causing collective post-traumatic stress disorder.

Reportedly the film started production in Malaysia in 2022. Leung Hung Wah directed the "gospel movie", and even invited Yik Siu Ling herself to be a consultant to ensure the authenticity of the story. So the general public would be able to evaluate the incident anew and pay attention to history hopefully through the visual format.

Many online felt heartache after seeing the trailer, worried that the movie might cause secondary harm to the survivors and the families of the victims, and some said that the film was like pouring salt on the wounds of Hong Kong people. "The incident is very shocking to Hong Kong people", "All Hong Kong people probably have watched the live broadcast back then, it is an indelible pain", "It will be difficult for he families of the victims." However, some people believed that movies play an educational role, helping young people who have never experienced this to understand history, promote reflection and vigilance, and emphasize that "if it is filmed, it will not be forgotten" and "the new generation has the right to know what happened that day." Some online even gave examples of the Titanic shipwreck was also made into a movie.

In addition, Liew Chi Yu co-starred with Michael Ning (Bak Ji) and Rachel Leung Yung Ting in the movie DOG DAY EVENING (YUT GOR BO MOON DIK DAN SUN), which released its trailer and stills. Liew Chi Yu boldly transformed in the film with deliberately dyed bright blue hair and bleached eyebrows. Completely different from the previous style, she even had to wear the TV station's mascot costume under the high temperature. She said with a smile, "This time I really have to let go of myself, there are actually many inner monologues and explosive scenes under the appearance of the otaku girl, which is an all new challenge for me."
