When Jaime Cheung started in the business she participated in one of the commercials Yan Ting Chau (right) directed, now seeing him again she takes the opportunity to recommend herself for a new film courtesy of mingpao.com
Yan Ting Chau (YT), Gin Lee Hung Ngai and Jaime Cheung Tin Wing
attended a carbon neutrality event press conference yesterday. Today is
YT's 37th birthday, and many fans at the scene sang a birthday song for
him. He also went to every corner of the stage to shake hands with fans
and get up close.
YT's birthday is today, but he still have to direct the new film
THE NIGHT STALKER (YU YEH JI TOH). He felt that work comes first, and
the birthday does not have to be celebrated on the day of. His
girlfriend would not visit the set tomorrow either. Since he is already
37 has he considered starting a family? He was "freeze framed" to not
answer, but he felt that he has also grown. After all, as people grew
older, they would know how to reflect after accumulating experience.
Regarding the birthday wish, he said that it would not come true if he
said what it was,. Did he want the film to be a big box office hit?
He said that was the direction all the staff were heading toward
together.
Referring to the invitation of Dayo Wong Tze Wah to perform in
this new film, YT bluntly said that working with Tze Wah has been very
pleasant. Before the film production began, the two of them have
already communicated in private. Tze Wah also took the time to explore
the role, so they have worked with each other very happily. How did he
get Tze Wah to perform? YT pointed out that mainly it was the script
because it was the core of a movie. People who like to watch movies
will also focus on the script. In addition Charmaine Sheh Sze Man has
been rumored to participate in the performance. He said that he
absolutely will not disclose that, and then make a "freeze frame"
expression. Would he perform in addition to directing? He remained in
"freeze frame", only saying that the film would be completed before next
year's Lunar New Year and planned for a release next year. YT pointed
out that although it was his film directing debut, he has been a
director since 2014. He has been directed music videso for Kary Ng Yu
Fei and Cheung Tin Wing, so now he has the feeling of returning to his
original industry.
Cheung Tin Wings piano advertisement when she debuted four years
ago was also directed by YT. At the time she was a newcomer, YT
patiently taught her to face the camera and never put up a director's
front. Cheung Tin Wing also has not make a movie before, and said that
she wanted to make comedy as she likes to be funny and make people
happy. "I am funny, only no one would laugh at my jokes!" She even
recommended herself for YT's new film, but YT said that all the
characters have already been arranged. Cheung Tin Wing joked, "I will
visit the set tomorrow. I don't mind being an extra, I can play
'passerby J'."

Best Actresses Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Chung Suet Ying both
have been nominated for the Golden Horse Film Award. WE ARE BORN GOOD
(SIN NAM SHUN NUI), the film starring Chung Suet Ying held its premiere
the night before. Yu Heung Ying also "made her presence felt" and joked
that she was not here to spy on the enemy but purely appreciate the
film. Chung Suet Ying pointed to the film was also nominated for Best
Narrative Feature at the same time. She has been looking forward to
attending the award ceremony with the team the most, and hoped that the
9 nominations would be able to drive the box office.
The film WE ARE BORN GOOD received 9 nominations at the "63rd
Golden Horse Award", on the previous night actors Chung Suet Ying and
Alan Yeung Wai Lun attended the charity premiere. The two each with
this film would compete for the Golden Horse Awards Best Actor and Best
Actress the next month in Taipei on the 22nd. Hong Kong Film Awards
Best Actress Yu Heung Ying also came to "make her presence felt". Also
nominated with the film DOUBLE HAPPINESS for the Golden Horse Awards
Best Actress this year, she was asked whether she came to observe the
performance of the enemy Chung Suet Ying. She said that she purely came
to enjoy the film, "Because Alan (Yeung Wai Lun) and Chung Suet Ying
have been nominated, I have been looking forward to it. As soon as I
found out about the premiere I immediately said I would come! (Would
you like to work with them?) Of course!" She said that she was very
surprised to be nominated, admitted that she did not have much
confidence in winning the award but had confidence in her Papa in the
film, Tin Kai Man. "He has already won the Taipei Film Festival, so I
think he can win this time! (Have you picked out what you would wear?)
I have to get into shape first, the most important is to be pretty." In
addition, Yu Heung Ying's domestic help suddenly quit. She was left a
little shorthanded with taking care of her family. Fortunately the
film that was originally scheduled has been postponed, so she could
personally raise her child and take care of the household chores. "The
maid said that she had an emergency and returned home. Actually she
owed 5 figures in debt, even debt collectors have come to collect. I
immediately handled the matter and did not suffer any loss.
Experiencing something like this for he first time, I feel fooled and
heartbroken."
As for the first time Golden Horse Award Best Support Actor
nominees Tin Kai Man, he admitted that everyone's optimism about him
winning at his first try has made him feel stressed. "My daughter in
the film Yu Heung Ying is very filial, she would support me at any time.
If I don't have an award in the end it would be very embarrassing. The
most ideal would double happiness to match the film title."
The WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR) Golden Horse
Best Supporting Actor nominee Anson Kong Ip Sang saw him as strong
competition. Tin Kai Man joked, "He is very strong too, obviously
dropping a class to crush an old man like me. He is blatantly the male
lead but jumped over to compete. However everyone is happy, no one
knows how it will turn out yet."
The Ho Cheuk Tin directed HOY TV situation series KEEP CALM AND
CALL PO ON had a peak rating of 4.9 points for its premiere. He did not
dare to say he was pleased, as he hoped to continue to chase good
results. "Only the premiere had 4.9 points is useless. I have to keep
performing well. Hopefully the rating would climb again and be able to
be maintained." Two nights ago he ran into Gardner Tse Kwan Ho and
hoped to talk to him about guest starring. "I would like to work with
many people, hoping to add more episodes so I could look for different
actors to perform." Was he confident that KEEP would be able to defeat
other stations Ho Cheuk Tin said that he has never thought about that,
the most important would be having more viewers and more advertisers;
then he would have even more funding to make even more episodes. The
fat wallet was the most important. KEEP posted 4 episodes online at
once. He thought that the television station arranged for that
strategy. He has paid attention to the online reaction and would be
willing to accept both positive and negative comments. It was a great
learning opportunity. "It's my first time making a situation series.
The budget is tight and the show is experimental in nature. Maybe the
audience would feel the lighting and the color would be a little short.
I would learn from the experience and look for even richer resource to
do better and fix up the details a little more."
Chu Pak Hong two nights ago showed his support with his outside
the business girlfriend Kiki on a date, and revealed that the new
relationship has been in development for over a year and become steady.
"The last time we posted a photo together for the one year anniversary
of us dating, I never thought that it would catch attention and end up
in entertainment news." He joked that under the nourishment of love,
his luck grew as he on the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actor.
He praised his girlfriend for being lucky for him. When would they get
married? Chu Pak Hong said that he would first work hard on maintaining
the relationship, as they had a lot to integrate. He believed that as
long as the relationship would be well maintained, it naturally would
bear fruits. Chu Pak Hong revealed that his girlfriend was half an
industry insider, due to work they have known each other for awhile.
He discovered hat she was not only pretty, but also direct, filial and
loving. "I found someone who knows about my past and is willing to
accept my present. Her life is very simple, she wouldn't have any
prejudice due to my appearance or past. She opened her heart to
understand me, which is very valuable in this time and age." He did
not dare to ask his girlfriend what she liked about him, as he was
afraid that he would have pressure. He knew that he had a lot to learn
from his girlfriend. "At work I get easily frustrated. She would
listen very patiently so I can see what kind of shape I am in through
her."
In addition, when asked whether Chung Suet Ying had the
confidence to win Best Actress again, she said, "My personal request is
very simple; because the film has been nominated for Best Narrative
Feature, I am looking forward to going together as a team the most."
Speaking of whether the film's multiple nominations would give her
confidence at the box office, she said, "I hope they can be converted to
the box office and attract more audiences." Her other film GOOD TRIP
(NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG) is in release now, but she disagreed with
the idea of "fighting herself". She said that it has become a "win
win" opportunity, as she hoped that viewers would support both films.
Yeung Wai Lun said that with many good films in release at the
same time, they could create a movie going atmosphere for the people.
They joked that if WE ARE BORN GOOD's box office would be ideal, they
would push co-star Lo Chun Yip (Siuyea) to give "benefits". Yeung Wai
Lun said, "Due to the length of the film, the director cut many of
Siuyea's confidential scenes, which are waiting for the opportunity to
see the light of day." He revealed that in the film he had action
scenes with Chung Suet Ying. With a sharp weapon in his hand, he was
very worried that he would hurt Chung Suet Ying by accident. He praised
her for taking a lot of risks, indicating that she was not worried about
getting hurt. Tommy Chu Pak Hong earlier wished for Yeung Wai Lun to
win the Golden Horse Best Actor, in exchange for Yeung Wai Lun to take
him to dinner for half a year. He said, "Whether I win or not I would,
brothers are for a lifetime. The most important for getting together
for meals is being happy." He also joked that his figure was poor, so
he had to put some thought into what he would wear to the award show.
In addition, the Golden Horse Executive Committee announced
yesterday this year's jury lineup. Sylvia Chang Ai-chia will be the
president of the jury. She has personally been nominated for the Golden
Horse Award up to 21 times, covering the director, the original
screenplay, the adapted screenplay, actress, supporting actress and
other categories, and even won the Golden Horse Best Actress 3 times.
Becoming the jury president again after 15 years, Chang Ai-chia was
happy to say that everyone's enthusiasm has not faded and she was
looking forward to getting together again.

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.

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."

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."
