Based on famous Hong Kong writer Lee Bik Wa's NIGHT novel series, TALES FROM THE DARK (MAI LEI YEH, KEI WAN YEH) yesterday held an Entertainment Expo press conference. Two films will have six stories with 6 directors. Directors Fruit Chan Gor, Simon Yam Tat Wa, Lee Chi Ngai, Teddy Robin Kwan, along with actors Kelly Chen Wai Lam, Josephine Koo Mei Wa, Eileen Tung Oi Ling and Maggie Siu Mei Kei attended.

Today is Yam Tat Wa's birthday. The film company presented a birthday cake to celebrate with Yam Tat Wa. He rushed from Jiangmen to attend. As soon as he was done he rushed back to work in the Mainland. Last night he returned to Hong Kong again to celebrate his birthday with his wife and daughter. His birthday wish was for good health.

Kelly who attended in costume said that it was her first ghost film and she has worked on it for a week already. Everyday she would perform all night. Right now she mainly takes care of her sons "Shrimp Dumpling Kid" and "Little Dragon Bun". How did Lee Chi Ngai get her to perform? Kelly said, "Because all the shoots are at night, my two songs are asleep when I head out. When they get up, I am already home." Were only movies that shot at night suitable for her now? she said, "I don't want to work at night either, but I don't have a choice." During the shoot Kelly did not have any strange encounter. She even daringly said, "I wouldn't have a problem lying down in the morgue or performing in a body bag."

Koo Mei Wa performed in the Chan Gor directed segment. The last time she performed was in 2004 with Joey Wang Cho Yin. Reportedly Wang Cho Yin would make a comeback? She had no idea but thought it was a good thing. With all the recent tragic news like alleged parent murders and a wife murdering a suspected cheating husband then committing suicide, Koo Mei Wa felt that the suspects were ill and not normal. Her sister Koo Lai Wa committed suicide after suspecting that her husband was cheating. Did the news bring back any memory or has she already set the matter aside? She said, "It's impossible to put down, but it's not the same."
