Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Wong Cho Nam, Rose Chan Ka Wun, Natalie Meng Yao, Kimmy Tong Fei and director Wong Jing worked together on the film PRINCESS AND SEVEN KUNG FU MASTERS (SIU GUNG JUN MO LUM), which held its premiere two nights ago. Chan Ka Wun and Jing Girl Meng Yao had the most attention. Lead actor Ronald appeared alone. Ronald said that his wife Sammie Yu Sze Man was busy with their daughter and was unable to support him. He too wanted to please his daughter and work on more animation voice work. He joked, "Maybe my daughter will think my comedy films aren't funny, but she likes cartoons. I have recommended myself for MADAGASCAR 4 voice work."

Ronald also shared that his daughter has entered the cute stage of learning to walk and talk. "When my daughter sees me behind her she would run like I am chasing her. Only when I sing children songs would she quiet down." His daughter recently applied for prestigious kindergartens. Ronald said that he was very nervous and was afraid that no school would accept her. "For my daughter, I had to dig out my student identification from when I went to the school. The interview could not be rescheduled and we couldn't be late to it. It's worse than a job interview."

Speaking of Beijing critic Jia Xuanning's slam of VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET) for vilifying Mainlanders and her article winning the Art Development Council's first critic award gold prize and HK$500,000 cash prize, Wong Jing supported VULGARIA. "I don't feel it slams Mainlanders. Low quality people have no confidence in themselves so they have an anti-Hong Kong sentiments; high quality people don't feel Hong Kongers are discriminating and won't be affected." He said that 10 years ago he ran into a Mainland university student with similar a review, he thought only conservative people would have such an idea and that the ADC was late to the game.

Yesterday an online rumor claimed that PRINCESS might be Wong Jing's retirement film because he could not withstand too much work. Yesterday Wong Jing received many inquiries from friends. Still promoting the film in Guangzhou, he iterated again online that his health was not great but he absolutely would not retire so soon. The film industry was too mesmerizing; he directly denied rumors of his health problem and retirement preparation.

Wong Cho Nam due to the TVB series FOOD FOR THE SLAVES (SIK WAI LO) production turned down many Mainland jobs and lost over HK$1 million. As for his girlfriend Leanne Li Yanan's demand for diamond ring, fresh flowers, money and proposal reason before she would be willing to wed, Cho Nam revealed that recently he has been looking hard at properties in preparation for a home. However with work scheduled until next year, in the short run he will not have time to wed.
