[ THE 30TH BUCHEON FANTASTIC FILM FESTIVAL ]
In the early 1990s, this city of desire, once "paved with gold," had
fallen into a state of broken order and rampant crime. Man Zi-Keung, a
worker, is determined to rewrite his fate. After meeting flight
attendant Lok Ka-Yuen, the two join forces to commit a heist, seizing
a huge sum of money. This success drives Man Zi-Keung to ever greater
extremes, pushing him and wealthy businessman Chan Fai-Yin deeper into
a vortex of escalating confrontation. Meanwhile, mainland police
officer Qi Honggang and Hong Kong police officer Kwan So-San persist
in investigating Man Zi-Keung. With the two police forces joining
hands, the clash between good and evil is on the verge of eruption.
In Hong Kong's East Forest Park, scavenger Lan Pui Ching discovers a
hanging corpse that triggers memories of a tragic mistake thirteen
years earlier. Once a spirit medium, she manipulated a young girl
into suicide for money, leaving her haunted by guilt and visions of
restless souls.
Now seeking redemption, Lan collects strange objects believed to
carry the spirits of those who died unnatural deaths. When police
officer Huang Ming investigates a series of suspicious "accidents,"
he repeatedly encounters her at the scenes. Through her connection
with the dead, Lan reveals that these deaths are actually murders
carefully disguised as mishaps.
Together they must confront a terrifying supernatural truth before
they become the killer's next victims.

Mrs. Yeung has spent years holding a Hong Kong household together,
managing a checked-out husband, a demanding teenage son, and the
thousand thankless tasks that keep a family running. Then she
secretly signs up for pole dancing, and something dangerous happens:
she starts having fun. What looks like a midlife lark turns
shockingly physical, closer to martial arts than play, demanding
strength and nerve she didn't know she had. As the lessons reawaken
a self she had quietly shelved, the accommodating wife-and-mother act
becomes harder to keep up. Joey Wu's first feature turns domestic
frustration into bright, nimble comedy, handing Catherine Chau a
gloriously physical role as a woman who decides that disappearing
politely is no longer on the schedule. Veteran Elaine Jin lends
major support.

Yuen is a stereotypical housewife, her days dulled by endless

As colour slowly returns to her life, she forms an unexpected
friendship with her much young classmate. Meanwhile, Fung-mei, the
70-year-old grandmother with a heart of a young lady, falls prey to a
scam while searching for love on dating app. Forced to move into

Charlene Choi denies that she is dressed to dispel pregnancy rumors courtesy of mingpao.com
Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa) yesterday attended the "SASA
LADIES' PURSE DAY 2026" press conference, responded to the "pregnancy"
mystery, and revealed the preparation of Twins' December concert and
"ticket debt" troubles.
The press conference of "SASA LADIES PURSE DAY 2026" was held
yesterday. The image ambassador Ah Sa introduced that the event will be
held on November 8 at Shatin Racecourse. The guest performer would be
her good friend Kenny Kwan Chi Bun. Ah Sa joked, "I'm looking forward
to seeing how he would look in pink and a hat!"
Ah Sa recently became involved in a pregnancy mystery. When
asked whether she was dressed to dispel rumors, she smiled and said that
she did not deliberately do so. "It's very normal, the waist is
exposed or it's not exposed!"
Although Twins will be performing concerts in mid-December, Ah
Sa said that she has not yet returned to the fittest figure because she
has been making the film TASTE OF JOY (SIK JU SEUNG). In the film she
played a food critic and had to eat nonstop; originally they would work
for 15 hours a day. On a rare day of finishing early, Raymond Lam Fung
immediately asked her to go for Omakase. She originally wanted to spend
time with her husband, but then took her husband to dinner with her
anyway. Lam Fung smiled and envied her for "not getting fat no matter
how much she eats", Ah Sa chuckled and said that she has been "able to
cover it" and pointed out even he "respectfully" said that she and his
wife have been able to eat the most among people he knew.
In order to prepare for the concerts, Ah Sa has begun to
practice. She stated that she was not aiming to be very thin, but still
hoped that she could train her arms to have curves. The reporter smiled
and asked whether he fitness coach husband was responsible for designing
the exercise plan, she said, "I have asked him and also begun to
exercise, only my mouth has not been too obedient. I cannot keep from
eating. I have been working hard to store fat, which I am waiting for
my husband to help eliminate; but he doesn't like me being too thin!"
She said that she would not find another coach. Twins would perform
concerts in December, and next month she will also work with Gillian
Chung Yun Tung (Ah Gil). Ah Gil has seemed to be able to get fat and
thin easier than her, she said, "She can, I always say being healthy is
the most important. Thin or fat, medium sized bodies are all beautiful
in their own ways!"
Ah Sa has also recently been worried about "ticket debt". In
addition to her own concerts, many friends also asked her to order Joey
Yung Cho Yi's concert tickets. "It is really a wave after another. I
am not even done with my own yet and I am being chased for Ah Jo (Yung
Cho Yi)'s tickets. I have already refused to order tickets of other
companies, now I still need several hundred tickets. I have said that
I would only write it down but dare not to make any promise. I really
have to ask the boss, as I have difficulties with even just 10 tickets.
I don't dare to bother Ah Jo herself."
Regarding the recent rumors that for THIS CITY NEVER SLEEPS
Kelly Cheung Hei Man and Jeannie Chen Ying had scenes added last minute
on the set with wider standards in undressing scenes. Ah Sa admitted
that she has never encountered such requests in her career, only while
making the film DETECTIVE VS. SLEUTHS (SUN TAM DAI JIN) she had diving
and gunfight scenes added. "I am afraid of heights, but it's right for
the script so I dove. Then for a year and a half I had a rash on half
of my body from the stress. After that when I saw the director again, I
felt like I have survived but it was still an experience and
achievement." As for the actress being asked to undress for a scene
last minute, she thought that it would have to be appropriate to the
plot. For her though it would have to pass the obstacles after
obstacles. First of all it would have to pass her manager and
assistant, so no such thing has ever happened.
Carlos Chan, Kathy Yuen, German Cheung and Sabrina Ng talk about working on THE MAGE courtesy of mingpao.com
Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Kathy Yuen (Tong Yee), German Cheung Man
Kit, and Sabrina Ng Bing each faced challenges starring in the film THE
MAGE (SUP FONG FAT SI). Asides dealing with profanity, Chan Ka Lok was
the most worried about bringing bacteria home and affecting the
daughter, who was still in his wife's womb. He also testified that Tong
Yee, who played his girlfriend, had a sour face and was definitely
playing herself. Cheung Man Kit said that dangerous stunts were not as
hard to endure as the dirty environment; playing a female ghost, Ng
Bing said the hardest part was holding back laughter.
Chan Ka Lok often used profanity in the film, and he joked that
might be the most he has used in his acting career. "Director (Danny)
Pang Fat asked for some, and the dialogue itself had some too. The
director also likes to use profanity to express himself. That's the
atmosphere of the production. Many of my performances come from the
director. Besides swearing, I often wipe sweat with a handkerchief and
copy the director's gestures exactly. He asked me to try imitating him
a little, trying to convey that my character has a feeling of being
uneasy -- sweating whether it was hot or cold."
The filming environment was harsh. At that time Chan Ka Lok's
daughter was about to be born. He said that indeed he was a bit
nervous, worried that bringing home bacteria that might affect his
pregnant wife Shiga Lin and their unborn daughter. "Filming in remote
mountains and wilderness, the ruins, dumps, and sewage drains were all
very filthy. I often thought I was done for! After work would I bring
some dirty stuff home and affect the soon-to-be-born daughter. When I
got home, I was terrified and hoped everything was okay. Even I was
disgusted with myself. As soon as I walked through the door, I rushed
to shower. Only after showering would I dare to interact with my wife."
Chan Ka Lok's character was impulsive, relying solely on
intuition and believing in supernatural phenomena without any evidence.
He had many conflicts with Tong Yee, who played his forensic doctor
girlfriend; the Tong Yee played character was determined to have an
abortion for her boyfriend. Already a mother during the shoot, she
expressed conflicted feelings. "I must have empathized with this pain
of being a mother when I performed." The two have played couples
before. Tong Yee joked that what was different this time was that she
could face Chan Ka Lok with a sharp tongue, but he often teased her for
being her true self. She explained that she was just cooler from not
smiling. "Playing a couple before was sweeter; this time was okay too,
very smooth. The character however really fit my personality more, with
both mean and not mean sides being pretty much the same." Chan Ka Lok
laughed and said, "She usually has a sullen face. I've known her for
nearly 20 years, and I only saw her smile when she was about 30. I once
tried telling jokes to tease her but she completely ignored me, which
made me wonder if I had offended her."
In the film Chan Ka Lok had many fight scenes with the highly
skilled Cheung Man Kit. Did he injure him? Chan Ka Lok said, "Actually
I'm really strong! My skills aren't too bad either." He said many
action scenes were very dangerous. While filming the sewer, continuous
heavy rain made the water waist-deep and made stand steadily hard like
in a rushing current. The bottom had rocks and glass. Fortunately he
was very close with Cheung Man Kit, and everyone trusted each other.
Any issues were discussed immediately, and the shoot was always fine.
Cheung Man Kit said that te most dangerous action scene was having Josie
Ho Chiu Yi riding on his shoulder. Did he hurt his neck? He said,
"Luckily No! It's OK, I can handle it; but the filming environment was
a bit dirty. After each shoot I had to shower three times." Ng Bing
tried playing a female ghost for the first time, saying that wearing
white makeup helped her get into character. Usually cheerful, she
admitted she almost could not hold back her laughter during filming.
"The hardest part of filming was holding back laughter. I'm not sure if
I ever laughed out loud! However everyone was so professional, I don't
think I did."
Bobby Auyeung (left) arrives to support Catherine Chau (right), as they hope to collaborate again
Jayden Cheung (left) and Yeung Nga Man (right) are happy to work with different elders in the film courtesy of mingpao.com
Actors Catherine Chau Ka Yee, Yeung Nga Man (THAIMAY) and Jadyen
Cheung Dik Man attended the VIP celebrity screening of the movie BIRD
OF PARADISE (MA YEUNG NIN WAH) the night before. Ka Yee received the
support from a group of friends Bobby Auyeung Chun Wah, Carlos Chan Ka
Lok, Raymond Wong Ho Yin, Mani Fok Man Hei, Kathy Yuen (Tong Yee) and
Maverick Mak Chau Sing. That night Chau Ka Yee and Auyeung Chun Wah
talked about each other about their past collaboration, but both had
"amnesia" and needed to remind each other over the air. The scene was
funny. Chau Ka Yee said that she is now the same company as Auyeung
Chun Wah, and looks forward to working together again.
Chau Ka Yee said that he personally invited everyone to enjoy
the film, especially Auyeung Chun Wah because he watched her grow up.
Speaking of this, Auyeung Chun Wah, who was interviewed on the other
side, asked Ka Yee loudly whether she had performed in "YIU MO CHEUNG
SHA" before? Ka Yee responded from a distance, "It is the "FOR MO WONG
SHA (THE DANCE OF PASSION), you only got the word 'SHA' right!" Ka Yee
also mentioned that she has previously collaborated with Auyeung Chun
Wah in a series, but this time it was her turn not to remember the
title; so she asked for help over the air. This time Auyeung Chun Wah
remembered and immediately replied, "MEN WITH NO SHADOWS (BUT CHOOK JI
YUEK)!" Ka Yee admitted that because they have not collaborated with
each other for a long time, but now everyone belongs to the Emperor
Entertainment; so they very much hoped that the boss will start work on
a movie so that the two have the opportunity to collaborate.
As for Yeung Nga Man, she played a classmate who studied pole
dancing with Chau Ka Yee in BIRD OF PARADISE. She said that in order to
practice pole dancing, she had bumps, bruises and blisters from the
grind. Her flesh suffered, but after seeing the final production result
she felt that everything was worth it.
Ka Yee revealed that she has never really watched the pole dance
performance before the shoot. Initially she was even biased, thinking
that most of the people who danced the pole dance performed at night
spots and were too sexy. However, when she learned first-hand, she
found that the dancers were very focused on their performance and
encouraged each other. Earlier, preview screenings also had pole
dancers in the audience. They were grateful to the director for
shooting this film and making the public change their impression of the
pole dance performance. They praised her and Yeung Nga Man for dancing
well.
25-year-old Cheung Dik Man played Ka Yee's son in the film, and
was also learning pole dancing. He said that at first he was a little
nervous in front of the group of elders, but after coming in contact
with Ka Yee, he felt that she was bold with also a little "guy like"
personality. He even wondered if at her age could she could really have
given birth to himself. Ka Yee heard and joked, "Thank you, I will give
you lai see later!" Then she calculated and smiled, "It’s all OK, I
could have given birth!"
Showing his support, Auyeung Chun Wah said that he has seen Chau
Ka Yee play the girl with cleft lips in THE DANCE OF PASSION and was
deeply impressed. Later the two collaborated on MEN WITH NO SHADOWS,
and in the show Ka Yee had a crush on his role of an uncle. To this
day, he still feels that Ka Yee is a lively girl who is forever young.
Auyeung Chun Wah has not made a Hong Kong drama for a long time,
he admitted that he still wants to let himself settle. The last TVB
series he made was already SHADOW OF JUSTICE. He said that his former
home has not beckoned to him yet, but his door would always be opened.
He revealed that he signed with the new company after the pandemic, and
is currently focusing on mainland development. He participated in many
variety shows, and recently worked on the series LIE HUNTER. He said
that at present he is more enjoying a "family life". "I am already
different from my 40s. I used to work a lot, I would like to go out
with my wife to eat on my time off. During the pandemic I was used to
eating at home, found that it was pretty good. In addition it was less
greasy and healthier, I was already thin. People outside thought I had
something wrong with me. Actually my appetite was still as big as ever,
only my eating habits have changed. No one needs to worry." He also
revealed that he often meets with friends in the circle, and will also
go out to celebrate his birthday; as for the regular dinners, mostly
they meet and chat at each person's house and have a few drinks.
Friends his age have all gone "off duty" and hidden at home.
Auyeung Chun Wah also watched TVB dramas, and in the past he had
made a guest appearance of COME HOME LOVE: LO AND BEHOLD. When asked as
the audience what he thought of new version LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER,
he said, "That's very difficult to say. For over a thousand episode
everyone has been used to see this group of people, at the middle of the
meal they have become accustomed to seeing them. They have already
become engrained, at meal time they should see this group of people like
one of the 'dishes'. Suddenly that has changed, it's not that it's not
delicious. The kitchen has changed, and it takes awhile to get used to
it and digest." He believed that the adjustment space of the situation
drama was already very large and could be constantly modified according
to the audience's reaction, so there would be room for progress slowly.
For the rumor that Jinny Ng Yuek Hei being "exiled" and kicked
out of COME HOME LOVE: LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER, Auyeung Chun Wah
said, "I don't know what happened, nor do I know how the audience feels
about her. I can only say what I think. Honestly, Ng Yuek Hei is a
pretty hard-working girl in my mind, and earlier her performance in FROM
HONG KONG TO BEIJING was pretty good." He said that he has read some
of the comments, saying that Ng Yuek Hei deliberately imitated Mandy Lam
Suk Man and thought that was unfair to her. "The role needs to be
played like this, just because you think they are similar it is not her
fault. It has to be slowly corrected. Everyone please take it more
time and be a little more lenient."
