Dayo Wong, Simon Yam and Yan Ting Chau are "caught" in close talks at a restaurant courtesy of on.cc
Studied film in college, Yan Ting Chau two years ago revealed
that he was preparing to write and direct his first film that would be
based on the Hong Kong mystery "Rainy Night Butcher" Lam Gor Wan, THE
NIGHT STALKER (YU YEH JI TOH). At the time he said that he has invited
very prominent actors to participate, with the producer of the Dayo Wong
Tze Wah starred AGENT MR. CHAN (DONG DUK DUT GUNG) Chan Wing Lun as the
producer. Chau Yan Ting said, "THE NIGHT STALKER is not remaking the
past case, but what would happen if the case would happen today? I
can't reveal too much for now, but it will definitely have a huge
impact on everyone."
Tin Kai Man recently attended an event and mentioned that
several new films would be coming to fruition, revealing that Dayo Wong
Tze Wah would be working on new director Chau Yan Ting's movie. Photos
of Wong Tze Wah and Simon Yam Tat Wah having a private chat with Chau
Yan Ting and a man with their backs to the camera circulated online. T
The man was reportedly producer Chan Wing Lun, making people think that
the prominent actors Chau Yan Ting said to have invited to participate
in THE NIGHT STALKER (YU YEH JI TOH) were Wong Tze Wah and Yam Tat Wah.
Chau Ya Ting has not responded yet, but people online are already very
excited about the roles Wong Tze Wah and Yam Tat Wah would play. Yam
Tat Wah played Lam Gor Yu in 'DR. LAMB' in 1992, with the character
based on Lam Kwok Wan himself.

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

Hong Kong ,1960. A sweltering hot summer. York, an amoral
disillusioned and cruel young man is kept in luxury by his foster
mother, a retired courtesan, who gives him everything but the one
thing he needs to know -- the identity of his natural mother. A self-
obsessed man, desperately seeking his true identity, York plays
carelessly with his lovers, a lonely submissive bargirl and a
beautiful club dancer and his friends, before leaving them all for the
Philippines in search of the truth that has been denied, and may
ultimately destroy him.

[ 25TH NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ]
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.
[ 50TH HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
While trying to keep his struggling business afloat, a chef goes on a
dating app in search of Zelda, his crush from his chatroom days as a

fit their story. Putting a spotlight on the city's struggling
restaurant sector, indie filmmaker Amos WHY and his co-director
Frankie Chung's unconventional and bittersweet road movie follows a
rootless man who turns to his memories to avoid confronting his
unknown future. Is it better to drift with uncertainty, or to stay
in your comfort zone whilst tethered to a sinking ship?

the start -- dismissed for their age, lack of experience, and slim
chances of success. Everything changes when they unlock
extraordinary martial arts-inspired abilities that transform their
game, propelling them from underdogs to championship contenders.

an unexpected betrayal threatens to tear the team apart. Forced to
regroup after a crushing setback, they must rethink their strategy,
overcome their differences, and rediscover the power of teamwork.

will need more than extraordinary skills — they must outthink,
outplay, and outmaneuver their opponents.
Can this unlikely team overcome the odds and achieve the impossible?
From visionary filmmaker Stephen Chow, Kung Fu Soccer delivers a
crowd-pleasing blend of spectacular football action, martial arts
fantasy, comedy, and heart — an uplifting story about friendship,

The Hong Kong and Malaysia co-produced 2027 Lunar New
Year comedy film GOLDEN BLESSINGS (WONG GUM HEI S) held its first press
conference in Malaysia the previous day. The film was directed by
Hong Kong director Mak Ho Pong, and the screenwriter of the IP MAN
film series Edmond Wong Chi Wun was the producer and screenwriter. The
cast gathered actors from Hong Kong and Malaysia, including five Hong
Kong television Best Actor, Best Actress and Hong Kong Film Awards Best
Actor, including Ruco Chan Chin Pang, Owen Cheung Chun Long, Benjamin
Yuen Wai Ho, Mandy Wong Chi Man, Kent Cheng Juk Si, Ha Yu, Emily Kwan
Bo Wai, Yanny Chan Yan Yin, Stephen Huyhn (Wong Cheung Hing) and
Malaysian actors Cheng Kam Fat and Miko Wong Jie Kee. The film would
feature a five-star hotel as the main stage of the story, integrating
treasure hunting, love, family and comedy elements into one; a group of
people with different backgrounds accidentally gathered together because
of a mysterious treasure map, temporarily formed a "treasure hunting
team" to sneak into the hotel to find the legendary treasure. In the
process misunderstandings and conflicts occurred, a series of comedy
ensued and each of their life stories were involved.
At the press conference, several leads took the suitcase to the
stage to carry out the hotel "check-in", the host immediately presided
over the on-site inspection of luggage. Some people took durian, some
people brought toilet brushes. The funniest was that Wong Chi Man's
suitcase actually had a whip. She immediately reprised a scene from the
film - hitting a water bottle on top of someone's head with a whip. The
entire venue cracked up. Playing the mob boss, Chan Chin Pang said
that he was very happy to participate in the collaboration between the
two places. He revealed that he and the online celebrity Chan Yan Yin
would have a romance in order to add more attraction to the film. He
also said that the production process was full of joy.
Cheung Chun Long played the role of young genius in the film.
He joined the "Treasure Hunt Team" to embark on an adventure. He
believed that in addition to bringing joy, the film also hoped that the
audience would be inspired after watching and learn "gratitude". "What
the characters really seek may not be just gold, but the relationship
between people and what is worth cherishing in life." Yuen Wai Ho
played a principled hotel manager, and a couple with Wong Chi Man.
Regarding playing a couple again, Yuen Wai Ho said, "Although we were
once the "best partners", but while working in Hong Kong we don't see
each other often; so this time we are very happy to collaborate on a
movie again." Wong Chi Man replied, "I have worked with Chin Pang on
the drama SECRET DOOR. This would be the first time I work with Chun
Long. With Ben there really have been numerous times. Although we
haven't worked together for awhile, the feeling is still very familiar.
As soon as we take our marks we click right away. However when I work
with Ben earlier, he wasn't Papa yet. Now he is a father and we have
witnessed each other's growth. I am very happy to be able to make a
Lunar New Year film. What could be happier than being able to bring
joy to the audience in the New Year?"
Wong Chi Man took advantage of the free time during the
shoot to walk around and experience the traditions and customs of
Malaysia. She had a more relaxed experience.
Cheng Juk Si and Kwan Bo Wai played a rich couple, the
Malaysian goddess Miko Wong Jie Kee played their daughter. She
worked hard on learning Cantonese for the role, and joked that
finally it came in "handy". She was able to communicate directly
with Hong Kong actors.
Ha Yu played the role of the elderly living alone and the
owner of the hotel. He described Malaysia as a "second hometown".
"The first time I went abroad was Malaysia. Back then I also came
to make a film, and came back many years later for productions. It
felt so familiar." Malaysia's famous actor and martial artist Cheng
Kam Fat in the film played as a stuntman. Because he did not know
Chinese, he did his homework in advance and found friends to practice
the dialogues. He hoped that he would not slow everyone one.
Chan Suk Fun says that Daffy Tong offers to loan out Leslie
Cheung's office supply for the exhibition
MISS YOU MUCH LESLIE 70TH BIRTHDAY EXHIBITION opens courtesy of mingpao.com
This year would have been the 70th birthday of Leslie Cheung
Kwok Wing, the Hong Kong Heritage Museum would once again hold the
MISS YOU MUCH LESLIE 70TH BIRTHDAY EXHIBITION from September 9th this
year to May 10th, 2027. The exhibition would feature more than 300
precious items under the theme of "Butterfly", including 11 sets of
classic costumes worn by Gor Gor at concerts such as the cloak from the
1989 farewell concert, the golden coat from the 97 concert, and the mesh
vest from the 2000 "Passion Concert". For the first time the exhibition
also brought parts of Gor Gor's former residence back to life, and
showed a group photo of many close friends at his former residence after
his death; Daffy Tong Hok Tak also loaned Gor Gor's commonly used desks,
chairs and desk lamps to give the audience an understanding of Gor Gor's
daily life. Mrs. Chan said, "Many items are very special, like the
reconstruction of Gor Gor's former residence it has never been seen
before. I hope everyone would be able to understand Gor Gor and his
life outside performing a little more completely. The office
decoration, that desk, chair, desk pad and desk lamp were also often
used by Gor Gor. I didn't dare to ask Tong Tong to borrow these items.
Tong Tong after finding about the exhibition suggested, 'Why don't I
loan them to you.'" She also said that Gor Gor has laid and sat on
another white chair countless times. Later he gave it to her and she
took the opportunity to put it on display. During the exhibition, six
Cheung Kwok Wing film masterpieces would also be screened, including A
BETTER TOMORRORW (YING HUNG BOON SIK), A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SIN NUI
YAU WAN), ROUGE (YIN JI KAU), and HE IS A WOMAN SHE IS A MAN (GUM JI YUK
YIP).
September 12th this year would have been the 70th birthday of
Cheung Kwok Wing. Friend Chan Suk Fun said that the exhibit was very
special, especially the restoration of his former home that fans would
have never seen before. What moved Chan Suk Fun the most was that the
fans engraved the commemorative words on the Stanley Park bench in
Canada where Gor Gor used to sit. It have so far endured for 20 years.
The exhibit also displayed a 1 to 1 ratio bench replica. Mrs. Chan
said, "Gor Gor after bidding farewell to the stage took a short break
in Vancouver. He loved to enjoy tea and the scenery at Stanley Park
'Gor fans' 2006 rented a bench there and engraved commemorative words.
Now it has been 20 years. I feel this is very touching, so I put it on
display. Everyone can sit on the bench and experience Gor Gor's past
point of view." A pair of red heels was also in the exhibit. They were
originally white and caught Gor Gor's eyes while performing in New York.
He personally dyed them red and stuck on glitter, then gave them to Shi
Nansun. "The red heels Gor Gor wore at concerts actually had two pairs.
The pair on display was once gifted to the late veteran filmmaker Shi
Nansun."
On September 12th, Chan Suk Fun's TO LESLIE WITH LOVE concert to
commemorate his 70th birthday would take place AXA Bamboo Grove Park in
West Kowloon. Performers would include Sam Hui Koon Kit, Karena Mok Man
Wai, Kenny Bee (Chung Chun To) and his daughter Blythe Chung Yi, Dicky
Cheung Wai Kin, William So Wing Hong, Eliza Chan Kit Ling, Adia Chan
Chung Ling, Michael Tse Tin Wah, Patrick Tam Yiu Man and so on. Chan
Suk Fun said, "Each singer friend feels strongly about Gor Gor. Every
time they participate, they selflessly love Gor Gor and meet with love."
The concert would also feature a drone show, performed by 1,956 drones
for 9 minutes and 12 seconds and cost seven-digits to produce. A
technology company would partially sponsor the show.

Director Ann Hui On Wah, Tin Kai Man, Rebecca Zhu Chenli and
Toby Chan Ting Yan attended the Hong Kong premiere of "ONCE UPON A TIME
IN THE MIDDLE EAST" the night before (7th). Hui On Wah talked about
the feeling of receiving the Busan Film Festival "Camellia Award" and
also believed that AI production might not take the actor's job; Tin
Kai Man revealed that he has been trying to make AI short dramas; with
her TVB contract ended, Zhu Chenli performed her first solo show for
the first time, denied that she was transitioning to become a singer,
and clarified that the wedding news was pure rumor.
Hui On Wah earlier received the 31st Busan International Film
Festival "Camellia Award", she joked in an interview, "This time I am
happier than before, because I am a little older I am more deserving.
If I got it a decade or so ago I would have been a little upset,
because I still wanted to make more movies." She revealed that she
would attend the award ceremony, as now she still had the energy to
receive the award. "At my age I can still personally accept the award,
aside from being afraid of falling on the stage I am very proud of
myself. I hope in the future I won't have to accept an award in a
wheelchair." Would she would continue to make films? She admitted
that she still wanted to. Regarding the downturn in the market, she
immediately said, "Actually film has been said to be bad for 30 years,
but they are still being made. Nothing can be done about the general
climate, but you can definitely change your attitude. Don't be so
depressed, right now many television series and films need special
subjects to be able to attract people." As for the AI craze being
accused of taking the actor's job, Ann believed that it might not
necessarily. "Recently there have been a TV series that has mixed AI
with real people, and the audience would be curious to see it. I
don't want to resist using AI for production, which can save money,
can generate talk, and actors can still save their strength.
As long as it can reduce cost and achieve even better results.; but
AI production can't completely replace movies, because watching
movies is a part of the entertainment program in people's lives."
She stressed that she would face the trend with a positive
attitude. Referring to the birth of former collaborator Tang Wei's
child, Ann was happy for her and would like to collaborate again if the
opportunity would arise.
Tin Kai Man said that he came for inspiration. "This movie is
such a hit, I come to learn from it. I have To learn from the good, but
I also have to learn from the not so good." Experienced media person
Tsang Chi Wah earlier blasted the Stephen Chow Sing Chi directed KUNG
FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK) for occupying showtimes, which affected
the film he admired, THE DATING MENU (CHU SI FAT BAN). As the
spokesperson of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers, Tin Kai Man
said that film scheduling was a theater issue. KUNG FU SOCCER's Hong
Kong box office was not particularly brilliant either. Occupying the
majority of the showtimes involved the business agreement between the
distributors and the cinema circuits, as well as the cinema circuit's
investment background. For example the Dayo Wong Tze Wah starred NIGHT
KING (YEH WONG) also had many shows, because the cinema circuit was the
film's investor. He said that theaters were very realistic, selling two
more times would make money for them. Whether they invested heavily in
publicity would also be a factor. The number of shows could not
guarantee ideal box office performance.
Tin Kai Man said that the audience now was also very picky, and
they had to come up with ways for the audience to go to the theaters
like audience appreciation shows. He also agreed that some movies with
good word of mouth would have their admission affected due to limited
showtimes. "I have discussed this with the cinemas. The response was,
'If you get two more shows, would people come to watch you?' Having
shows did not mean that the audience would go and support the film,
but without shows some would complain about the lack thereof. The most
important is to have the data to bring up with the theaters." In
addition earlier he won his first Best Supporting Actor award at the
Taipei Film Awards with DOUBLE HAPPINESS. He admitted that his
workload has increased, including movies and commercia. He also had
different behind the scene production projects. He recently completed
the film TIN GUONG HEI (DAYBREAK OPERA). Later he would work on a Lunar
New Year film but also want to change his film path. He has been trying
the AI shot drama production method. "Currently the selling point for
AI is shrinking the cost, but creators have to consider the work first.
They have to study its use in detail. Causal use of AI would be very
risky." Speaking of the recent popularity of many mainland dramas, he
admitted that he has not have time to study them but he has watched with
his wife the Wallace Chung Hon Leung starred THE EPOCH OF MIYU (MUK YU
GEI).
Toby Chan Ting Yan was interviewed with her friend Rebecca Zhu
Chenli (Chu Chu), they said that they had a friend group that met for
food from time to time. With her TVB contract ending earlier, Chu Chu
recently held her first solo concert in Guangzhou but she denied that
she was switching to be a singer. "I just want to break through
myself. I think it's fun to be a singer, but it's also difficult."
For those online who said that she did not have a representative work
to perform a show with, she thought it was normal. "At the show I
sang covers, and the unreleased Mandarin song 'Your Smile'. It's
just a start. Everything starts from zero." She revealed that she
has been negotiating different jobs. In the beginning she
encountered many difficulties but she credited her friends for their
help.
For the earlier wedding rumor, Chu Chu smiled and said, "Even I
don't know. Rumors like these shouldn't be spread. Earlier I have
said that I have a male friend who I have been getting to know outside
the business." Toby said that she did not know that her friend had
someone she was getting to know, and advised her as someone who has
been there to get to know each other for a long time. She even more
frankly regretted not participating in the "A DATE WITH GODDESS SERIES
2". She believed that Bob Lam Sing Bun would secretly screen for
her, but she was in no hurry to date because she would participate in
the international pickle ball competition later. She hoped for good
results.
