The annual beauty pageant, Miss Hong Kong Pageant Final 2026,
was held last night at Tseung Kwan O TV City. This year, the Hong Kong
theme was "dare to be perfect". After rounds of competitions between
12 candidates, favorite Bernice Yuen firmly sat on the throne. Her
eloquent performance even won her thumbs up from Crystal Fung Ying Ying
and Rachel Chan Yee Tak in the audience. Successfully losing 13 pounds,
Ada Tang with a great showing was the surprise second runner-up, and the
third runner-up Scarlett Li received double titles as she also won "Miss
Photogenic".
This year's group of hosts comprised of "Three Brothers: Kenneth
Ma Kwok Ming, Edwin Siu Ching Nam, Raymond Cho Wing Lim, with Luk Ho
Ming and Leonard Cheng Hin Fung. This was the first time in the 26
years since Ma Kwok Ming entered the industry to take on the role of a
large-scale live program. He and Cho Wing Lim hosted Miss Hong Kong for
the first time, so they inevitably appeared rusty. Later the three
talked about "qualifications", Siu Ching Nam said that he already had
experience, because as early as 2023 he had presided over the pageant
with three television Best Actors Joel Chan Shan Chung, Moses Chan Ho
and Ruco Chan Chin Pang. Ma Kwok Ming recalled that in his early days
in the business he accompanied Sonija Kwok Sin Nei at the "1999 Miss
Hong Kong Pageant"; Cho Wing Lim also served as the host of the 2018
Miss Hong Kong swimsuit segment. Since Ma Kwok Ming appeared on the
Miss Hong Kong stage earlier than the two, Siu Ching Nam and Cho Wing
Lim called him "elder brother" out of respect. The three even joked
that to be able to host Miss Hong Kong together, they were truly
"fortunate for three actors."
The performers were just as star studded, including singers Gin
Lee Hung Ngai, Mike Tsang Pei Tat, Vic Teo, Edmond Leung Hon Man, and
the new girl group "MYNT". Last night Gin Lee opened the show with a
performance of "Iconic" and "Dum Dum". 12 candidates appeared and
introduced themselves with the topic "My Bravest Moment." Then Tsang
Pei Tat performed the classic songs "Flower Field Mistake" and "In
Search of Deities", as candidates immediately appeared in an elegant and
gorgeous evening dress that showed a unique oriental beauty. The main
performance of the evening was the cross-platform collaboration between
Leung Hon Man and Celina Harto (Chan Ching Yi), Zoie Tse Shuk Yi and
Rosita Kwok Pak Yin. Three female artists each showed their talents:
Chan Ching Yi played the harp live, Tse Shuk Yi performed an elegant
piano piece with Leung Hon Man, and known as "Demon Tone Chin Chin",
Kwok Pak Yin even sang two verses and played a little clarinet to pass
the test.
Twelve candidates accepted the pageant's "one word" challenge,
and many candidate showed their quick wit. Among them 1 Bernice Yuen
who received the word "wrong" performed the most prominently. She
replied, "I feel I got the word wrong to tell me not to wrongly miss any
opportunity tonight, not to be wrongly miss the opportunity to face the
camera. In addition the word could be divided into two parts, the gold
part symbolizes the most golden time of my life is now; the past part
reminds me not to look back at the past and to go forward." 10 Cecilia
Chan's eloquence also received a lot of praise. When the pageant gave
the word "loss", Cecilia Chan responded very quickly and said, "When I
returned to the TV city today, take a guess who I ran into. I ran into
Pretty Tong (Ma Kwok Ming's wife Roxanne Tong). She told me to lose
a little more during the question and answer segment, so Ma Kwok Ming
would show his Tennen Boke expression. Everyone would really like
that." Ma Kwok Ming immediately cooperated with his airhead expression,
and the whole venue burst into laughter.
When 2 Scarlett Li received the word "short" surprisingly
seemed to take a jab at the small stature of last year's Miss Hong Kong
Stacey Chan. She said, "I think the event dedicated this word "short"
to me because many of the past winners are relatively small, just like
the previous champion Miss Stacey; so tonight I have a chance to win the
title!" She even confidently dubbed herself the favorite. 11 Caris Yan
drew the word "flat". As the most educated candidate, she played with
idioms and said that she was like blue and white porcelain, a high-
quality product that improved with time. She also described her
dream encounter with candidates with "chanced encounter like a dream",
and her eloquence has won a lot of applause.
In the "Talent Performance" session, candidates performed
mainly dances, including candidate 1 Bernice Yuen's Jazz Funk
performance, 2 Scarlett Li's Latin dance, 3 Chorie Li's Pop Jazz, 7 Vera
Yang's Chinese dance plus calligraphy, 8 Ada Tang's fan dance, 9
Gracia Zhou's umbrella dance, 10 Cecilia Chan's water-sleeved dance and
Guzheng performance, and 11 Agnes Yan's ballet. More eye-catching was
5 Etherine Wei, who not only wore a revealing costume to perform snake
dance but also performed a split. 12 Caris Tang was more innovative as
she performed sign language. Announcing that she would DJ in advance,
6 Jasmine Lo's performance had no surprise.
Subsequently, the candidates changed into swimwear, with elegant
and expensive fur coats and snow boots. They put on sunglasses,
appeared with the mascot "Snow Monster", and carried out a one-on-one
duels. Finally, candidate 1 Bernice Yuen, 2 Scarlett Li, 6 Jasmine Lo
and 8 Ada Tang successfully reached to the top four.
the end the 26-year-old candidate 1 Bernice Yuen led from the
beginning to the end and took the title, candidate Ada Tang 8 was the
surprise first runner-up, candidate 2 Scarlett Li took the second
runner-up and "Miss Photogenic." As for the most popular candidate 6
Jasmine Lo went "empty handed". Miss Hong Kong Berenice Yuen is the
currently 26 years old graduate of the Department of Communication at
the Baptist University, and her career is an actor. She performed a
powerful jazz Funk dance for her talent portion, showed her wild charm
and successfully added to her score.

The experienced producer Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting teamed up
with the new generation of directors Norris Wong Yi Lam and Wong Hoi to
jointly direct the "Directors' Succession Scehme" work GOOD TRIP! (NGOR
AH DEH SEUG LUI HUNG), which would open on October 15th. Recently the
film has released a number of new stills, Philip Keung Ho Man, MIRORR
member Stanley Yau Si Chun, Yeung Nga Man (THAIMAY), Philip Ng Wan Lung,
and other actors appeared one by one. Among them Keung Ho Man and
Cheung Ka Fai once again played brothers on the big screen, scenes that
were full of chemistry became one of the highlights of the film; and
Stanley also challenged the costume style for the first time.
Keung Ho Man revealed that when he first took GOOD TRIP!, he
hoped to work with Cheung Ka Fai again. "I remember at first when I
took the role, I was going to play this character. After I finished
reading the script, I have considered recommending myself to the
director for another role. Because I haven't worked with Ka Fai, I
wanted to find a fun role to collide with." He did ot expect to receive
the director's phone call to inform him that he would instead play
Cheung Ka Fai's brother. Keung Ho Man was overjoyed, and even said
that working together again, they immediately found the chemistry from
the UNBEATABLE days. "Who knew I would get another call from the
director about a role change to play Ka Fai's rother. I couldn't be
happier!" Recalling their classic scene in UNBEATABLE, Keung Ho Man
said frankly, "I dare to say that no one can smash back the scenes
between Fai and Tai Shui in UNBEATABLE. Our sparks were very wonderful.
Without any need to say more, everyone would now how to react next with
just one look."
He described their collaboration on the set was very natural.
They often did not need too much communication to be able to improvise
and set off different sparks. "On the set we would very naturally
smash out different ideas, which is a great chemical effect. This time
feels like everyone is much more mature. As soon as some ideas return,
so do the memories. It's a lot of fun! This time this movie is
another type of feeling, in comparison to the men's romance in
UNBEATABLE (GIK JIN), I can only say it has increased and not
diminished." Although he did not have many scenes, Keung Ho Man
believed that each scene would be able to give them enough to play the
brotherhood of them.
In addition, Stanley in the film GOOD TRIP! challenged a costume
look for the first time and appeared with long hair, blade and muscles.
No wonder even he joked that the costume was special. "It was between
wearing and not wearing clothes." Appearing with long hair for the
first time, he felt that it felt like THE STORM RIDERS (FUNG WAN).
Speaking of working with Cheung Ka Fai and Chung Suet Ying this time,
he was excited. "Brother Ka Fai is the idol I grew up watching. This
collaboration was truly very unforgettable." He also gave special
mention to co-star Yoyo Mung Ka Wai, saying that they often interacted.
"Working with elder Mung Ka Fai felt very wonderful. Actually she has
always paid attention to what MIRROR was doing, so privately we have
talked about tidbits about the group."
Stanley earlier had to spend his 36th birthday at work as he
worked on a group variety program with his 11 group mates, but after he
completed the shoot, he took his bride to be Alina Li Yan Yi for a
flash vacation in Phuket, Thailand. After work he posted photos from
the trip. He seemed to be less than pleased with his figure though, as
he asked AI for help. In the end AI generated "secondary development"
of Stanley's chest, abdominal and biceps and added popping veins. The
photos were horrifying yet hilarious.

A private chef whose business is barely staying afloat looks for love
the modern way: he opens a dating app and searches for Zelda, the
girl who once captured his heart in a teenage chatroom. Instead, the
app gives him four Zeldas, each with a different life and story. For
each one, he cooks a meal, part flirtation, part confession, as if
the right dish might recover the person he was, or the future he
missed. Amos Why, director of the beloved Far Far Away (NYAFF 2022),
and co-director Frankie Chung serve a funny, tender Hong Kong romance
about old flames, new disappointments, and the strange comfort of not
moving on. Around the table, the film catches a food culture under
threat, and the small, stubborn memories that survive in what people
cook for one another.

Officially opening today, the film WAKESURF LOVERS (LONG
FA NAM NJUI) was about the Renci Yeung Sze Wing played Wakesurf coach,
because of her teaching method was publicly judged by the Internet and
abused by trend followers. Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun then with his internet
moniker "Pacific Ocean Jellyfish King" posted a mocking video that went
viral. Later he found out that she was only discredited by rumors, so
he was willing to risk everything to find justice for her. As for how
he would face online criticism in real life, Jeffrey seemed quite open-
minded. He believed that life was like a book that documented itself,
with both advantages and disadvantages. During self-examination of
course they would be taken for granted, but others might see it from
different angles when they read and resulting in a very different
understanding.
The film had many water skiing performances. Jeffrey admitted
that at first he did not understand water skiing and falling into the
water was very frustrating. "Because when I work on fight scenes, even
if I don't fight pretty the shoot could play the fight pretty. Yet if
I can't fall in water skiing, as if would affect the progress. So
when I first got up in the water early in the training, I had a great
sense of satisfaction and felt like I could fly. I was very high, but
the director told me to do what I was able to do." With water skiing
experience, Renci and Kevin Chu Kam Yin (Chu Jai) felt that Jeffrey
had quite a knack, spending only a very short time to be able to
perform water skiing tricks like air jump.
Chu Jai was a representative of the Hong Kong swimming team, but
he laughed and said that he was not a representative of water skiing; so
playing the star water skiing coach "Joe God" had certain difficulties,
very different from the mentality of going for fun. "Going from the
amateur mode to the professional mode specifically required focus.
During the performance I need more expression management. In front of
the camera I have to act very Chill and very relaxed, but inside my
heart I was actually very nervous." Renci agreed, "Normally I am only
chasing targets and techniques while wakesurfing, but during the shoot
because of the weight of the machines the wave had a cave in spot in
front. I had to mind the expression to be beautiful, but also be afraid
of falling in." As an amateur she felt more and more guilty and scared
as the shoot went on. "I remember during the half a year between
training to the official shoot, the weather got cold and hot. I have
been in the ice cold seawater, as well as under the blazing day all the
day. My tan couldn't be any darker. Later when I made NIGHT KING (YEH
WONG) I was very afraid that I would be the darkest one among the girls.
I believe the NIGHT KING behind the scene staff tuned my tan from dark
to light." Renci and Chu Jai needed to double water ski, which was
even more difficult. Because the two ships must move close to each
other and in front, the waves caused by each other would also affect the
other and made control even more difficult.
This time a large number of water skiing scenes were filmed
every day from sunrise to sunset, and the actors were much more tanned
under the blazing sun. Jeffrey joked that with a lot of the time under
the sun, even the abdominal curves looked better. HE did not have to
deliberately work out. Chu Jai already had to show off his muscles as
soon as appeared. He himself was worried about not being fit enough,
but after consultation with the director they thought that teaching
water skiing did not necessarily require being very big; so he worked
out as a part of the water skiing training. Regarding in the film his
ways to win over the customers made him very popular, was he very
popular with girls when he taught to swim in the past? Chu Jai smiled
and said, "It was okay! In the past I taught swimming on and off, but
not as commercialized as Joe God. Before when teaching swimming at the
swimming club or some government swimming pool, I was a little
friendlier and didn't need to please people in an exaggerated away like
in the film. Before I taught five or six-year-old children so they
were like playing in the water, but this time I have taught adults
with ways to teach. Only the content was different, which was helpful
for business." Renci was only featured in sports-style swimwear. She
said that the focus of the role was to show the body when water skiing,
especially focusing on subtle movements and expression management. She
also believed that the audience's viewing angle of the film would not
be limited to the actor's costume, but looking forward to seeing the
presentation of water skiing skills even more.
Jeffrey was seriously injured during the filming. He recalled,
"At the time we were shooting the close up shot of the boat operator
while I continued to waterski in the back. Because in the shoot I was
in the earliest stage I couldn't let go on the trope. When I held the
rope and fell into the water, the rope strangled me for three or four
seconds straight. Fortunately later I was able to grab the rope.
After I got out of the water the staff immediately patched me up, and
sent me to the hospital where I saw how horrific my condition was (marks
left on his neck). I am so grateful that I am still here!" After the
injury he rested for a month before returning to work to shoot the rest
of the water scene. When he got back in the water he was traumatized.
"I can't say that I wasn't scared at all. As soon as I let go off the
rope, I would focus on the rope's position before performing. Indeed I
was a little traumatized." Renci witnessed Jeffrey's injury. "It was
really a critical moment of life and death. When I saw it I was very
scared. At first I didn't know it would be so serious, but when I
saw the marks on his neck my heart ached and worried that his cervical
spine was injured. However he was lucky!"
Regarding the plot of the online public trial in the film, how
would they face online criticism in real life? Jeffrey said that life
was like a book that documented itself, with both advantages and
disadvantages in it; when you discover a problem while reading, you
should try to hard work and improve. After all self-examination would
still be taken for granted, but those on the sidelines would have
different views. Chu Jai pointed out that nowadays criticisms would
be hard to avoid, the key lay in how to face negative voices -- if not
handled well, it may cause more negative emotions; if it can be
resolved, it can be transformed into positive energy. He stressed that
since it would be inevitable, the only thing he could do was to control
himself. Renci believed that any profession would be different strokes
for different folks, handling all problems would be difficulty. We
could only learn to coexist, because life still had to continue. Chu
Jai also admitted that as an artist, he will inevitably be criticized,
but he still could still accept it. "When I run into unhappiness, I
would throw a tantrum at home and then I would be fine."

The Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) and Terrance Lau Chun Him and other

hosted the online program "24/7 TALK" revealed that he has heard long
ago that the film would open in December. If true, the film might be

The Soi Cheang Pou Soi produced, Isabella Lam Lok Hin directed and
written, Lokman Yeung, Hedwig Tam Sin Yin and Maggie Siu Mei Kei starred
film DEAD END (BEI SAT DIK NA TIN) was selected for the 31st Busan
International Film Festival's "Vision-Asia" competition section and
would premiere at the film festival. DEAD END began with a case of
family death that has been buried for years. Lokman Yeung suspected
"mother" Siu Kei Kei had something to do with his father's fall to his
death and started to investigate. He and Tam Sin Yin played couple,
and PAPA's Best New Performer award winner Dylan So Man To played his
half brother.
Lokman Yeung for the first time had film that was selected for
a film festival competition, saying that his past films participated in
film festival. "This time feels a little different, I look forward to
it more. DEAD END is about letting go of the past, hopefully it
would bring the audience to a different direction when faced with
similar incidents. This time the role's past has affected him a lot,
many deeply internal struggles had to rely on environment or interaction
between co-stars to bring about. For me it is a challenge." Siu Mei
Kei and Lokman Yeung played mother and son, revealing that the character
was complicated. At first she found it hard to grasp, fortunately the
producer and the director gave her the confidence and interacted as they
shot. The production process was pleasant. Director Lam Lok Hin hoped
that through the process of the character's search for truth, the
audience would be taken to face those hidden or suppressed memories,
examine how people find a way to co-exist with uncertainty and find a
path forward.
