Chrissie Chau Sau Na has recently been busy promoting
their film that has been quite popular. Earlier, she and Angela Yuen
Lai Lam, Myolie Wu Hung Yi, Stephen Fung Tak Lun and others promoted the
film AFTERPIECE (DAI SEI MOK), during which a lot of footage was shot
and the atmosphere was full of joy. Chau Sau Na recently shared photos
and short videos to social networks, including the crew's celebration of
Angela's birthday last month with a small cake. The birthday girl was
all smiles, and rather happy.
Chau Sau Na and Angela had a decent relationship, in the video
they played posing in seconds and were full of chemistry. Already a
goddess herself, Chau Sau Na even praised Angela as beautiful.

Nick Cheung Ka Fai would hold a series of three shows for
the first time at the Hong Kong Coliseum on the first to third day of
the Lunar New Year (February 6th to 8th, 2027). A large-scale
entertainment performance that would combine "comedy, song and dance",
"THE CHACHAFAI SHOW" would celebrate the Year of the Sheep with the
audience in Hong Kong.
In honor of the event, Cheung Ka Fai earlier "led" his classic
role, including UNBEATABLE (GIK JIN)'S "Scum Fai", PEG O' MY HEART
(SHOOK MUNG)'s "Choi Sun Keung", THE CON MAN (DOH HUP 1999)'s "Fa Gwut
Lung", GOLDEN CHICKENSSS (GUM GAISSS)'s "Brother Gordon" and KEEPER OF
DARKNESS (TOR DEI KUI MOR YUN)'s "Fat Jai", to brave the rain and storm
the Hong Kong Coliseum for a promotional video. During the shoot
Cheung Ka Fai was in great shape, "transformed into character" in a
flash, brought back classic dialogue, pulled the audience back to the
light and shadow memories of many classic works and was bound to set off
the city's "memory kill" during the Lunar New Year.
Speaking of the idea of the Hong Kong Coliseum show, Cheung Ka
Fai admitted that he has never had a "singer dream" but the stage has
brought him an unexpected opportunity. He said, "I hope it won't be
just a concert. In other words, I won't be able to present the content
in the form of a concert." He announced that there would be a surprise
comedy performance. There would also be a special ingenuity in the
stage effects and performance arrangement, hoping to combine "comedy,
song, and dance" to bring a joyous New Year to the audience .
How did he feel about showing off classic characters from his
many years in film? Cheung Ka Fai smiled and said, "Of course I have
special intents, I am looking forward to it myself. I hope to bring you
some surprises, as well as some memories of Cheung Ka Fai's past roles.
What would the audience think when they see this show? You really have
to wait until the show is born to find out."
Cheung Ka Fai earlier while promoting his film GOOD TRIP (NGOR
AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG) once promised that he would perform a concert
if he could get 100,000 likes online. Then he changed his mind and said
that he had to consult his manager first, and changed the subject to
open a cafe, invest 200,000 to 300,000 on a sequel to GOOD TRIP or a
musical film. Later he was rumored to truly be planning to fulfill his
Hong Kong Coliseum dream. At the time his manager responded, "An
announcement would be made later, please look forward to it."
Cheung Ka Fai once made the jump from film and television to
music. Aside from releasing a record, he even won the Ultimate Male
Singer Gold Prize award in 2000. His hits included ABLE TO LOVE,
SUBCONSCIOUS, and RATHER GIVE MYSELF THE MOST HEARTBROKEN. He also
often sang in his films, including a parody of Leon Lai Ming's EYES
WANT A VACATION in CONMAN IN TOKYO (JUNG WA DOH HUP), in HE IS MY ENEMY,
PARTNER AND FATHER-IN-LAW (FA GWUT LUNG YU CHIN NIN CHUNG) he and Danny
Lee Sau Yin went to a karaoke box to sing BEYOND's GRAY TRACK (FUI SIK
GWAI JIK), and playing "Fa Gwut Lung" again in THE CONMAN and singing
Andy Lau Tak Wah's classic hit right in front of him. He even made
the "Lau Wah" pose for Lau Tak Wah after the song. Cheung Ka Fai
last year sang the theme song PERMANENT INSOMNIA (WING YUEN DIK SUT
MIN) for his film PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG).

[ 25TH NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ]
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.
[ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
Yuen is a stereotypical housewife, her days dulled by endless
domestic routines. By chance, she stumbles into the dazzling world
of pole dancing, where she embarks on a secret journey - one she
keeps hidden from her conservative husband, Lam, and her son, Heng.
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
Yuen's home, her arrival stirs up even more chaos to the already
strained family.
[ 7TH FIRST FEATURE FILM INITIATIVE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION GROUP ]
Eagerly wanting to have a last bloom of her youth, Mama Yeung

A botched takeaway order sparks an unlikely battle of wills in WE ARE
BORN GOOD, the assured debut of Hong Kong filmmaker Yeung Leung
Chuen. Aspiring actress Zoey is already at breaking point, weighed
down by debt, disappointment and a city that seems determined to test
her patience. When a neighborhood restaurant refuses to remake her
incorrect order at closing time, a petty grievance quickly escalates.
As their confrontation spirals into chaos, hostility slowly gives way
to an unexpected connection. Inspired by viral footage of trivia
disputes erupting into violence, the film asks what drives ordinary
people to the brink -- and whether kindness can still prevail.
[ CINEMA CITY ]
A restaurant mishap led to a feud between Wing-kat and Zoey. Both,
whose lives were already challenging, engaged in a cycle of revenge
that escalated further. However, they did not anticipate that the
real harm would come from those closest to them. Initially
adversaries, Wing-kat and Zoey ultimately became the only companions
who truly understood each other.

The film AFTERPIECE (DAI SEI MOK) held an all star premiere last
night, producer Derek Yee Tung Sing, actors Stephen Fung Tak Lun,
Angela Yuen Lai Lam, Myolie Wu Hung Yi, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Alan Yeung
Wai Lun and Ng Wing Sze attended; guests included Jennifer Yu Heung
Ying, Nancy Wu Ting Yan, Sharon Chan Man Chi and Kenny Wong Tak Bun. Wu
Hung Yi would turn 47 on the 6th of this month. The crew presented a
cake to celebrate her birthday early, which surprised and moved her.
Wu Hung Yi thanked the crew for the surprise, admitted that the
birthday wish was the film to be a big box office hit. Because the
director has put in a lot of effort and the word of mouth has been
widely circulated, the film would be worthy of good results. As for how
she would spend her birthday, she said, "I have to go back to school
(Film Production Master of Art program) on my birthday and then have
dinner with my family later." Returning to school, she joked that
because of the midlife crisis, she wanted to learn and study anew in
hopes that it would help her write a script in the future. Fung Tak Lun
expressed his admiration for the determination of Hung Yi to return to
school. In addition to learning theory, she has also regained the
enthusiasm of the youth. Would he have the impulse to return to school?
He smiled and said that he would be more interested in understanding the
enthusiasm of others. Hung Yi immediately praised him for not needing
to be a student, he should be a instructor instead; Chau Sau Na
immediately raised her hand to sign up for his class, and offered her
services to participate in his film that would start production soon.
Fung Tak Lun said that while making STEPHEN'S DIARY he already thought
that Chau Sau Na would "definitely succeed" and promised that as long as
she was willing to make the time, he could shoot at any time and would
tailor the role for her. How did he feel about Hung Yi? Fung Tak Lun
said, "Of course she would succeed! Earlier when I was watching
"EVERBODY START BY", Hung Yi had to act on the spot for evaluation. I
guessed that after finishing the first level I wouldn't be able to hide
how I would appear during evaluation. I would feel, "What do you know"
but it was okay to be evaluated by Yee Tung Sing. I am just joking,
actually standing out there really seemed to be on trial in public."
Regarding Colman Wong recalling that he started dating Mandy Tam
Man Huen immediately after breaking up with Constance Chan Hong Tai,
Eason Chan Yik Shun's daughter. Tam Man Huen was an artist under Fung
Tak Lun's banner. With her being accused of being the third party, Fung
Tak Lun said, "It's hard to answer. I don't know much about things, but
young people have their way of doing things. They don't need us to
worry." Would this affect his relationship with Chan Yik Shun and would
it be embarrassing if they meet? He joked, "Our relationship has never
been good. Actually we often see each other. Everyone is mature, and
who hasn't been young before!" Has he been reminded of his youth? He
said, "I am fine, I am very normally. They are very normally too.
Everyone is very normal!"
In addition, 52-year-old Harwick Lau Hoi Wai admitted being in
love with Christy Lai Kai Kwan who was 20 years his junior. Wong Tak
Bun said that he just played pickleball with them on Halloween. He
said, "A big group of us play together. We rarely see each other
normally. I only found out about them being together from the
newspaper. They haven't been deliberately hiding it, just no one has
particularly noticed."
Yuen Lai Lam responded to her earlier long article about sexual
harassment in the business for the first time. She said that the post
was very detailed and she had nothing to add. She emphasized that she
did not want to make anyone public, but only wanted to bring out in-
depth discussions. She revealed that she received many direct messages
from women afterwards and felt that her courage has received attention
and support, which made her breathe a sigh of relief and caused people in
different industries to reflect. Referring to being kissed by force
by an elder, Yuen Lai Lam stated that these things were not the starting
point of the article. She just hoped that everyone would reflect on why
girls would think too long when they have been violated, and why the
climate would allow these things to happen. She said that in recent
years she has been interested in developing toward writing a script and
making short films, but would not shoot just over a single event. She
hoped to raise widespread concern about the phenomenon; as for the
establishment of a union to protect women in the industry, she said that
she has not thought about it before but could consider it.
As for whether the elder involved has contacted her after the
incident, Yuen Lai Lam pointed out that when she wrote the article she
deliberately did not leave a clue for everyone to find him. She did not
intend to point out his identity either. He was exposed because he
issued an apology on his own. She stressed, "I didn't want to end his
career or judge him, and I didn't expect him to apologize." She was
happy to say that she could inspire women to speak out because it was
justice.
Her film role was custom made for Yuen Lai Lam. She said that
she asked a lot of herself and would be a little more tense, but she has
heard from her colleagues that the audience response has been decent.
"The director wasn't displeased with anything and found the work
acceptable. The director has said to me 'Angela Trust Me' the most. I
really admire my own seriousness very much." Both Wu Hung Yi and Chau
Sau Na praised that Yuen Lai Lam's performance as outstanding. Wu Hung
Yi said that Yuen Lai Lam's performance had to be real and nature for
the entire screenplay to be valid. Chau Sau Na revealed that
backstage she saw the scar of Yuen Lai Lam's leg. At first she thought
it was make from the time, but later realized that it was a real
bruise.
Amy Lo and Ali Lee are both rookies on the stage and admit to being nervous
Brian Chu (front right) has recovered and worked out with his buddies
Chin Kar Lok has already changed the props to prevent another accident from happening courtesy of on.cc
Ali Lee Kai Sum and Amy Lo Wai Man attended the premiere of an
animated film. In addition to providing their voices, they each faced
the new challenges of the stage. Deeply related to each other they
exchange praises, and even hoped to have the opportunity to sing
together again. Also on hand, Chin Kar Lok pointed out that Brian Chu
Man Hon had an accident during the TVB Anniversary show rehearsal. It
was related to the prop's wear and tear, and he has now replaced a new
trestle to ensure safety.
The goddess Lee Kai Sum and singer Lo Wai Man attended the Hong
Kong premiere of the animated film ODIUM ZERO (MO NGAI JI YUEK)
yesterday, accompanied by director and screenwriter Jame Kong Ling
Ching, action consultant Philip Ng Wan Lung, and guest Chin Kar Lok.
Ali was the voice of the 16-year-old heroine "May" in the animation, and
the now 43-year-old said, "I wouldn't play a child's voice. Because the
character is very stubborn and has a personality, I couldn't use my own
voice. I also couldn't be too cute, too young, so try several times.
This is the benefit of an animation, no age limit." The 33 year old Amy
played an 8-year-old girl and joked that she had to learn from her
8-year-old nephew.
Ali was currently busy with the December run of the play THE
HELL OF HELLO's publicity and rehearsal, she described the challenge of
her debut with "very big mess": "This time my performance venue is 270
degrees surrounded by the audience. Because no one has tried it before,
I don't even have the opportunity to ask people's opinions! So I really
rely on the director's opinion during rehearsal, how could I make my
voice travel so far? It would be like a concert on a 3 sided stage, and
the audience would be very close too. It really lacks security, now I
have launched my survival mode."
Amy said that she felt the same way, because she would also
make her stage debut with the play BAREFOOT AFTER MARRIAGE, the only
thing that was easier than Ali was that the stage was only 180 degrees.
Was she concerned that her company colleague Mandy Tam Man Huen has
fallen under the suspicion of being a third party? She said, "I showed
my concern, but we didn't have any direct conversation. (Are you worried
that her image would be damaged?) Being on screen would face many
different opinions." Did she know that Mandy Tam was on vacation with
her boyfriend? She said, "I just finished my vacation too. (But you
don't have a boyfriend?) How do you know I don't? Acutally I don't
have a boyfriend, I'm focused on my career." Ali heard that and thought
that Amy was going to break the news. She said, "I thought you were
using one news story to cover up another. (Do you have hot property
to introduce to Amy?) If I do I would have taken it first!" Then she
praised Amy for her beautiful voice, Amy praised her beauty in return
and the two women hoped to have a chance to sing together.
Also present, Chin Kar Lok served as an action designer and
director for the TVB anniversary show. Regarding Brian Chu Man Hon (Ju
Jai)'s earlier accident at the rehearsal when he fell to the ground
from two meters above with the bracket, he said that he has already left
the scene at that time, but was shocked to find out about the accident
and immediately got an understanding of the situation. "Because Ju Jai,
Chow Kalok, (Owen) Cheung Chu Long and (Tiffany) Lau Wing Suen have been
practicing day after day, the props had shown wear and tear. Now the
props have been completely replaced with new ones, and I have asked
the brothers to make it safer. However the performance wouldn't reduce
its difficulty." Ju Jai after a few days of rest rapidly returned to
form, as he posted a photo with buddies Kalok Chow, Cheung Chun Long
and Leo Kwan Yiu Tsun at the gym on social network. He was in good
spirit, smiling, and even giving a thumbs up. "Thank you everyone for
your concern, I am all good, I can continue to train, don't let it
stop!" Chun Long also forwarded the post in his story and left a
message of encouragement, "Come on, don't let it stop!" Friends in
the business and online also left messages of blessing, and told him to
pay attention to safety while exercising.
Jaime Cheung takes the opportunity to recommend herself to Yan Ting Chau for a movie courtesy of on.cc
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'."
