Nicholas Tse's rumors with Janice Man Wing Shan have been spreading like wild fire. They both had some reservation about the rumors. Recently promoting two films AS THE LIGHT GOES OUT (GAU FOR YING HUNG) and FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (OH MOON FUNG WON), Ting Fung naturally was asked about his new romance. He officially said, "This isn't true!" He even made a very innocent look. Would he ask his sons for their opinions about his girlfriend? Speaking of his sons he became very cautious. "My son is already 6 (Lucas), I don't want to talk about this. I don't want to say too much about his son in the public."

Yesterday Ting Fung and Chow Yun Fat along with Chapman To Man Jat and Jing Tian promoted their Lunar New Year film FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (OH MOON FUNG WON, formerly DOH SING FUNG WON). Wong Jing even boasted that the film will make 1.5 billion yuan at the box office and reign in the Mainland.

Yesterday at the press conference, Fat Gor after 20 years returned to play a "god of gambler". For the role he lost over 20 kilograms before the production began. He joked that this time was very stressful, because his co-stars were all young people like Ting Fung and Jing Tian who were very thin. Even To Man Jat was thinner than him. So he had to lose weight. Ting Fung stated that every second of working with Fat Gor was a lesson. Fat Gor instead praised Ting Fung, "He is young, charming and hard working. Earlier I have already mentioned that the next 30 years of Hong Kong film will depend on Tse Ting Fung. Of course, my comment was intended for deliberately giving him pressure."

Ting Fung yesterday saw the God of Gamblers' hand holding cards on the poster, but he joked that at first glance he thought a middle finger was raised. Wong Jing jokingly explained the meaning and said that he had two preparations for all films. Whoever refused to yield would get shown the middle finger. Fat Gor also had confidence in the film and felt that now the China film box office has already reached 20 billion yuan annually. In the next 10 years it might surpass the U.S. He also hoped that everyone would care for young actors, ultimately the future of Chinese films would depend on them. Fat Gor also played a "god" in THE MONKEY KING (DAI LAU TIN GUNG) during the Lunar New Year. Speaking of the clash of the two films, Wong Jing said without a care, "I have never worried before. Our poster has three hands, one hand has five fingers. This already clearly states our box office will make 1.5 billion."
