    Wong Kar Wai began a career-spanning obsession with nostalgia for the Hong Kong of his childhood years with this dreamlike and beguiling ensemble piece about love, lust and disillusionment in 1960s Hong Kong. Wong's idiosyncratic storytelling rhythm, Christopher Doyle's lush green hue, and its entrancing and moody soundtrack (strengthened even further on this Wong-supervised 4K remastered version) not only made this a defining work of its era, it also established Wong as a cinematic visionary who would influence generations of aspiring filmmakers worldwide. Channelling James Dean, Leslie Cheung's charismatic turn as a ne'er-do-well playboy and self-proclaimed "bird without legs" continues to be celebrates as one of Hong Kong cinema's most iconic performances of all time

The Emperor's 2027 Year of the Sheep Lunar New Year feature TASTE OF JOY (SIK JU SEUNG) recently held a worship ceremony. Chairman of the Emperor Group Dr. Albert Yeung Yau Sing personally led the group of the main creators and star-rated cast in attendance, and wished faithfully for the smooth shoot. Guests included director Andy Lo (Law Yiu Fai), producer Anselm Chan Mou Yin, Emperor Motion Pictures COO Cecil Yow Hon Hung and the CEO of Emperor Entertainment Mani Fok Man Hei; leading stars Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa), Raymond Lam Fung, together with Tommy Chu Pak Hong (Chu Hong), Nancy Wu Ting Yan, Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi), and member of the popular girl group VIVA Carina Lee Hei Tung, Angus Yeung Tin Yue, etc. Stars filled the scene and the Lunar New Year film excitement was on full display.

TASTE OF JOY would combine food, family, friendship, love and urban humor into one. Ah Sa would play the sharp tongued and spicy top food critic who would collide with the Lam Fung played chef and set off sparks. The two of them took cooking lessons for the film. Lam Fung even cut the roasted pig on the spot, and his knife work was heavy. Ah Sa said she has heard the story two years ago and felt that the character was very suitable for herself and has been looking forward to it. She believed that the most important thing in the Lunar New Year would be to be happy and lucky in the coming year. Lam Fung agreed that the shooting process has also been very happy. Because of numerous actors, the film would have many subplots. The last time he played a chef was his first work more than 20 years ago. This time would be Fusion style, and he still had many new skills to learn. The two of them revealed the director and the producer had many nonsensical conversations in private, and a lot of funny dialogues have been improvised on the set.

Other cast line ups would also be very fresh: Chu Pak Hong would play Ah Sa's nemesis who would target her at every turn; Wu Ting Yan would play Ah Sa's close friend and manager with a steady style; Dee Ho Kai Wah (Ah Dee) would play a photographer with a refreshing look. Ting Yan was happy that this time would be a first time collaboration with all her co-stars for her. When he saw Chu Hong and Ah Dee she already thought they were funny. Ah Dee pointed out that the collaboration felt very fun, and the most important thing for a Lunar New Year film production was happiness. Chu Hong joked that the production has made him very sleepy, because he had to get up at 4:00 AM.

In addition, the new generation and the powerful actors have joined the cast. Hui Yan Yi was very excited because she had good food everyday at work; Rachel Leung Yung Ting's first Lunar New Year film felt like celebrating the New Year early; Yeung Tin Yue pointed out that the set atmosphere was super happy. All VIVA members made the same movie together for the first time, were full of joy and would have a surprise scene with Chu Hong. Gladys Li Ching Kwan declared the shoot was very fun; Hedy Chan Hoi Yi and Vivian Lai Chun Wai said that they benefited a lot from their first guest starring roles.
Director Lo Yiu Fai shared the original intention of the creation. "'Food' is our most core soul every Lunar New Year. No matter whether the past year has been good or bad, the whole family can sit down and have a good meal -- which is the greatest joy. This movie is called TASTE OF JOY, which hopes that during the Lunar New Year period, through the big screen with food and light humor but full of humanistic stories to convey positive energy for the audience. We must not only make the audience hungry from watching, but also make everyone laugh without a care. I hope that this film will become everyone's "Happy New Year Poon Choy" in Lunar New Year 2027, accompanying all Hong Kong people to "eat the trend, rise against the current", and happily have a big fat year!" The film TASTE OF JOY is currently already in production and would in all Hong Kong cinemas for Lunar New Year 2027.

Raymond Lam Fung and Alina Lee Yan Yi attended a fashion brand event yesterday, attracting a large number of fans. Although Lam Fung has been busy with work, this Mid-Autumn Festival he would also be able to be reunited with his family.

With endless music, film and business performances, Lam Fung just completed his Dongguan tour. He revealed that he would still have several cities to tour in the future, and the film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG) has been completed; but now he has started to make a Lunar New Year film and next month he would go to Thailand to shoot another new film. Regarding the hot weather, Lam Fung admitted that he has had "kind of dizzy" while making a movie. He laughed and said, "Colleagues should be careful and take care of themselves when filming, drink more water; I too have taken some summer supplies." As for Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa)'s pregnancy rumors, he bluntly said: "How is that possible! She told me about this rumor and said, 'That's crazy'! But everyone should still ask the person involved." He has met Ah Sa's husband and praised him as nice. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Lam Fung happened to have a holiday, could be reunited with his family and attend his daughter's parents conference. He joked that the pressure would be greater than making a film. The night before he had insomnia. His wife Zhang Xinyue's birthday was earlier, he was unable to celebrate with her because of filming. Yet he would express his feelings in another way, and said that he has personally planned his wife and daughter's birthday activities.

Alina will marry MIRROR member Stanley Yau Sze Chun at the end of the year. She just traveled with her bridal party to Shanghai for a four days and three night bachelorette trip, and told the sisters that they would not need to "hold back" while playing games with the groom during the wedding. She revealed that the wedding preparation has almost been completed. She has been actively losing weight. After having crab in Shanghai she was gastroenteritis for 3 days, but her weight still has not reached her goal yet. She would work hard to with Stanley, because he had a little belly too. She admitted that she was considering a several minute long couple's first dance at the wedding, but she still has not have the time to deal with it. She has been looking forward to Stanley's flower arrangement performance and declaration of love. The "baby making" plan would be up to nature. Because Stanley has work, they would not expect to be on their honeymoon until next year.

Renci Yeung Sze Wing has been busy with audience appreciation events for several movies. Attending the label event yesterday, she admitted that although she has been busy she rather enjoyed it. Her favorite was the question and answer interactions with the live audience. For the upcoming Mid Autumn Festival, she revealed that she would continue to thank the audiences hard. As for whether she and boyfriend Owen Cheung Chun Long would meet for a "moonlight reunion" she at first was reluctant to say more. Then she said, "Now I focus on my two nieces more. Because the little one started kindergarten and still had no idea what were Mid Autumn and lanterns, I was thinking of taking them to places that sold lantern for them to experience it." Recently Chun Long ate lamb eye and brain for a variety program. Yeung Sze Wing said, "So daring (Would you like to work on a food program?) I do, but a lot of things I don't eat like coriander and celery. Instead if I would get to make a travel program, I would ride the amusement park rides I like. Extreme sports would be fine too."

Also promoting their film hard like Yeung Sze Wing, Celina Harto (Chan Ching Yi) shared pretty photos on social platforms.

Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Chung Suet Ying and Yoyo Mung Ka Wai starred in the comedy film GOOD TRIP (NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG), which held a film launch ceremony the night before. Cheung Ka Fai even personally drove the family car in the film, carrying his on screen "wife" Mung Ka Fai and "daughter" Chung Suet Ying and attracting a large number of people to look on.

The new film would open for the Mid Autumn Festival. After years away from movies, Mung Ka Wai said that she did not know about the "rule" of Hong Kong audience appreciation activities so she has already booked flights to return to work in Japan. Cheung Ka Fai said that he would be willing to pay for the flight to invite her and her husband Dior Cheng Ekin to promote and thank the audience together, and Mung Ka Wai agreed right away. Mung Ka Wai praised participating MIRROR member Stanley Yau Sze Chun as handsome. Chung Suet Ying agreed that Yau Sze Chun was tall and friendly, the ideal type of what she looked forward in a mate.

In the film Cheung Ka Fai has cancer and appears with a "Mediterranean" (balding) look. Was shaving his hair a huge sacrifice? Ka Fai revealed that he proposed the idea of shaving his head. "When I worked on costume dramas before the skull cap was very hurtful to the scalp. Since this role was so big, directly shave it then stick on a the Mediterranean wig on the side was more practical." Was he worried that his hair would not grow back after shaving his head? He smiled and said that he was a little worried. "Actually I secretly worry about the glue and hair loss, but it was a sacrifice for art what else could I do? You see more hair growth products on the market, then you know that what pain level this has reached for men. (Not worried about becoming Mediterranean (balding)?) I have tracked down the genealogy, neither my old man nor Ma's side has no problems so I am more at ease."

Mung Ka Wai said that she and Cheung Ka Fai played a couple, revealing that for the wedding photo flashback scene she worked with what she had. She discovered "self medical aesthetics" special effect make up that could make her thinner and younger in seconds. "I used tape to pull up my chin on both sides, hiding a lot of fat that came out. The result was great, and I looked much younger than I am now."

GOOD TRIP would open for the Mid Autumn Festival. Cheung Ka Fai said that he would definitely buy tickets to watch with his wife Esther Kwan Wing Ho and support the film. Because their daughter would not be in Hong Kong, she would not be able to join them. Mung Ka Wai admitted that she would invite her husband Ekin Cheng to support the film, but due to years away from film she did not know about the audience appreciation trend that was popular currently. She has already booked the flight to return to work in Japan. Cheung Ka Fai immediately forced his co-star to return. He even said to Mung Ka Wai, "I will give you the money for the flight, you ask your husband to come and thank the audience together." Mung Ka Wai agreed right away, "That's OK, the current market has been poor. We have to come up with ideas."

With Ekin Cheng's birthday in early October, Mung Ka Wai joked that since they were an old couple they no longer needed any surprise. "The best surprise is no surprise. He would have a birthday party with his fans and I would have dinner with him." Reportedly comic book creator Ma Wing Shing was considering a third STORM CLOUD (FUNG WAN) film with Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok Fu Sing. Mung Ka Wai had no idea and normally she and her husband would talk about video games. "I am a comic book fans, I would want to watch it no matter who makes it."

Mung Ka Wai praised co-star Yau Sze Chun as handsome. Was Ekin Cheng or Yau Sze Chun more handsome? Mung Ka Wai joked, "Stanley is so young, how could they compare?" Cheung Ka Fai also praised another co-star Yeung Nga Man (THAIMAY) for her dance scene and amazing flexibility, from afar she looked like a "spirit medium". Chung Suet Ying also agreed Yau Sze Chun was tall and friendly, just what she was looking for in a mate. She joked, "Does anyone have any recommendation?" Cheung Ka Fai suggested for Chung Suet Ying to take the initiative and pursue Yau Sze Chun, but when he learned that he was already "closed" and about to wed, he joked, "An affair would be pretty exciting too!" Has he thought about that? Cheung Ka Fai joked, "Hey, I wouldn't dare. I would be the worst at that!"

Chung Suet Ying and Cheung Ka Fai in the film had to speak Japanese. Cheung Ka Fai said that he relied on memorizing the dialogues without know what they meant. Chung Suet Ying said that she only said a few lines in Japanese and they were not too hard to handle. The driving scene was the greatest challenge, since she only got her driver's license after two or three tries before hand. "For one test I ran into black rainstorm warning and had to cancel the road test. The shoot was only a few weeks away, luckily in the end I was able to successfully pass the make up test in time." Mung Ka Wai revealed that many years ago she worked on a driving scene without a license. Now of course that would not happen.

In addition, after Koo Tin Lok's concert earlier, many hoped Cheung Ka Fai would perform concerts. The night before when Ka Fai was asked whether he would like to perform any concert, he joked, "I seem to start around the same time as (Eason) Chan Yik Shun, earlier than Ekin Cheng! Better to ask the manager. I heard that he is in negotiation with Europe, America and Mexico (concerts), let's see how he does. If the deal gets done then I would perform." He also admitted that he rarely took the stage in the past, because he has been very restrained with his own singing. He did not want to perform for people to watch, but he liked to sing. "If I get 100,000 likes then I would worry about it."

The Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Chung Suet Ying starred new film GOOD TRIP (NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG) will open next month. Director Norris Wong Yi Lam and Wong Hoi two nights ago appeared at the press screening to share their production experience. Wong Yi Lam said that the script came from the passing of her own Papa, but back then she has yet to think of from what angle. No matter how much she wrote she was not pleased, so she once dropped it to write THE LYRICIST WANNABE (TIN CHI L) first. "My directing debut MY PRINCE EDWARD (GUM DOH) couldn't be made in time for Papa to watch. In the second, THE LYRICIST WANNABE, (Eric) Kot Man Fai's character had shades of Papa. As long as I continue to create and make movies, I can put valuable memories into them."

Wong Hoi spoke about many Hong Kong film memories in the film. He wanted to take this opportunity to make subjects that this generation of filmmaker would not have a chance to make. "The costume scene was very funny. Because (Stanley) Yau Sze Chun and Chung Suet Ying have never worn costumes before, they were very excited. Yet Cheung Ka Fai and (Yoyo) Mung Ka Wai said costumes again, we would die from the heat." Wong Yi Lam said that Mung Ka Wai ws very sharp, bringing a folding chair and tea to wait for her turn. Wong Hoi revealed that Cheung Ka Fai came up with his look in the film himself. "The first time when we talked about the script, he already said that he wanted to create a 'Mediterranean Sea' (bald spot) look. He would first shave his head then put on a wig. Actually he was very happy once it was finished, but he always thought that he and Chung Suet Ying would play couple. He didn't expect that they would play father and daughter." Wong Yi Lam said that she was timid about working with Cheung Ka Fai because he was a great elder. "I was afraid that he would be very opinionated, but I realized that he was very friendly. He even said that he was a director too, and knew what kind of actor was the most troublesome and despised. They wouldn't listen to the director's opinion, so he wouldn't do this."

Each MIRROR member have been busy with their own tasks. Yesterday Stanley Yau Sze Chun attended the premiere of 'THE AGE OF GOODBYES' at the 'Special Screening' section of the 51st Toronto International Film Festival. His first appearance at an international film festival brought support from Hong Kong fans. Yau Sze Chun revealed that one of the biggest challenges for the film was the accent, with continuous language training before and during filming. Group mate Edan Lui Cheuk On attended an event yesterday with Kitty Yuen Siu Yee, and according to rumors he would star in a sequel to 'CHILLI LAUGH STORY (HOP GA LAT),' which will be released during next year's Lunar New Year season. Lui Cheuk On has not heard about this and will consult producer Sandra Ng Kwan Yu for confirmation. Busy filming the Hong Kong version of "LONG VACATION," he revealed that the shoot would wrap up at the end of October and preparations for the MIRROR concert will begin in November. If he would really make a New Year film, he would be willing to sacrifice sleep time.

Yesterday Yau Sze Chun attended the premiere of 'THE AGE OF GOODBYES' at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday with Vivian Sung and Lixuan Siow, and director Edmund Yeo. The group dressed up for the red carpet. Yau Sze Chun walked the red carpet at an international film festival for the first time, with Hong Kong fans flying there to show their support. He revealed that it would be his first time watching 'THE AGE OF GOODBYES' on the big screen, and he described the work as very beautiful and inspiring. "One of my biggest challenges for me was the accent. Besides Mandarin and Cantonese, the Chinese dialogues had to convey a Malaysian Chinese accent that matched the story's time and character's background. From before filming to during the shoot, I received continuous language training." The female lead Vivian Sung also for the role studied Malaysian Chinese, Cantonese, and Hokkien dialects six months before filming began with a teacher. She revealed that when she received the invitation, she faced the dual challenges of the role and language and was at a loss of confidence for awhile. She asked the director many times, "Do you really think I can do it? I'm really not sure if I can do it." With the director's trust and encouragement, she gradually let go of her doubts and got into character. When Stanley and Vivian Sung learned that AGE has also been selected as this year's Golden Horse Film Festival opening film, the arrival of double happy news made them and the creative team more than excited.

Yau Sze Chun's group mate Lui Cheuk On attended a brand collaboration event in Kowloon Tong yesterday with Yuen Siu Yee and others. Lui Cheuk On was busy filming ViuTV's Hong Kong drama "LONG VACATION" with Ali Lee Kai Sum. He revealed that no intimate scenes have been filmed yet, praised the crew's attention to detail as they arrange to shoot light and simple scenes so actors could gradually adapt to the environment and rhythm. He praised Lee Kai Sum as a "super good partner," and said that her quick immersion into the character left him in awe. "The first time I met her with the director she felt unfamiliar, greeting and exchanging a few pleasantries about the drama production. When reading the script and auditioning, she was more refined. I didn't expect that once filming started, she completely changed into a different person. Her personality was so cheerful, positive, and proactive, perfectly fitting the character and made me wonder if it was her true nature or if she was just immersed in the role -- I feel that's so great."

There have been rumors that Louis Koo Tin Lok has started filming the sequel to the Lui Cheuk On starred CHILLI LAUGH STORY, which would be scheduled to be released in next year's Lunar New Year season. He said that he has not heard of this and would consult producer Ng Kwan Yu for confirmation. "With less than half a year until Lunar New Year, the series will shoot until the end of October, and preparations for the MIRROR concert will begin in November. If we would really make a New Year film, I wouldn't mind sacrificing sleep time.'

Siu Yee and MIRROR captain Lokman Yeung starred in the stage play THE RETURN OF SIU LUK, which would be adapted into a film. Andy Lau Tak Wah would invest in and produce the film, Herman Yau Lai To would direct, and the film would be scheduled to be the Lunar New Year film for next year. She was delighted that the stage play she starred in would be made into a movie, so being able to bring together the original cast was truly rare. "Wah Jai liked the script of this stage play and had the right to replace everyone, but he liked us too. I'm truly grateful to Wah Jai."

Would she feel any pressure carrying the movie as its lead actress? Siu Yee said she was the female lead in the stage play, but wondered how the movie version would be produced as there might be some additions or reductions. "I haven't received the script yet, so even adding more people would be a good thing. (Are you afraid that your role would be diluted?) I don't mind. When you watch the stage play, it feels like I'm the female lead. Actually, the roles are very balanced. I don't know how the movie will be arranged, but I'm really looking forward to it."

Siu Yee said that if Lau Tak Wah would participate, she would definitely applaud in support. "I don't think I've ever acted with Lau Tak Wah before. I want to interact on screen, I have no problem with comedic and kiss scenes, but when it comes to serious romance scenes, I just can't handle it. Just hearing about it makes my hair stand on its ends."
