Chan Yuen Ting said that recently she and Li Yat Long have been working together on the suspense film HAK SHUI GAI (BLACK WATER REGION). It would even be her first lead role. In the film she played an escort with mental problems and hooked up with the killer Li Yat Long. They would have daring intimate scenes and bed scenes. She would even have a nude scenes but with all the important areas covered.

Chan Yuen Ting also said that the first scene on the first day of work she had to shoot a kiss scene with Li Yat Long. This was even her first on screen kiss. Li Yat Long joked, "No way! After hustling for so many years it was still your first on screen kiss?" He also pointed out that for the first shoot Chan Yuen Ting already busted his lower lip, which bled and the production had to be halted. Thus the impression she gave him was very bloody.

    With glorious days from five consecutive championships in the 1980s, the Women's National Volleyball Team of China had transcended the conventional definition of sports in the hearts of Chinese people. When the Chinese team was pitted against the US team led by Lang Ping at the 2008 Beijing Volleyball Game, everyone knew that it was a match that China could not lose, and certainly could not afford to lose.

    Defeated, the Chinese team plunged into the deepest abyss in three decades. As Lang Ping returned to her country to coach the team, many mused aloud as to whether China's Women's National Volleyball Team would be able to retrieve lost grounds.

    The film recounts the ups and downs, the sweat and sacrifice of the team over the past four decades. While the team's persistence and teamwork became a national inspiration and collective memory in the 80s, whether the team spirit can be passed down to the new generation as China goes through rapid changes?

"Four years ago with INSIDE MEN I won Best Actor. The next time I hope to be able to meet everyone in person!"

He thanked BETTER DAYS' director, cast and crew, as he promised to keep working hard on playing every role well in the future.

Now he is very happy to be recognized for his achievement in screenwriting. He also always longed to be recognized as an author, a screenwriter.

The event invited Kara Wai Ying Hung, Johnny Huang Jing-yu, Lee Chong-Dong and Koji Yakusho as guest presenters. Last year's winner with TRACEY, Wai Ying Hung before presenting Best Supporting Actress thanked the healthcare personnel.

Philip Keung Ho Man, Ling Man Lung, Babyjohn Choi Hon Yik and Jennifer Yu Heung Ying two nights ago attended the film SHADOWS (CHAN YING HUNG GAN)'s world premiere. Yu Heung Ying was revealed to be pregnant out of wedlock, but at the several recent public appearances her belly has not yet been seen. Two nights ago she went wore two inch heels. When reporters asked how long she has been with child, she immediately changed the subject and joked, "What are several months, the movie took over a year to make. This year I haven't had the chance to invite my other half to watch. When the movie will open officially next year in Hong Kong I would bring him to see how people beat me. Because in the film I suffered abuse at the hands of my husband, it would be a bad example for him and he can learn from it!" 

Yu Heung Ying has not stopped working due to pregnancy. In December she would have a new film production. Would she have action performance in the film? She said that she could not because she has always been clumsy. Thus this time would be a comedic romance. As for her wedding, she admitted that it was being planned but she was not too busy with it. Mainly she was not too selective, as she would choose whatever her friends felt was good. She also did not get help from a wedding planner. Would the pandemic affect her wedding? Yu Heung Ying said that she was not too worried. If the condition would be worse the wedding could be changed to a video wedding ceremony. 

Keung Ho Man turned 54 on the 26th. His wife also celebrates her birthday in October, in addition this year would be their 21st wedding anniversary. Hak Jai arranged for a performance of NEEDING YOU EVERY MINUTE to surprise his wife, but their maid brought out the cake earlier and destroyed the mood a little. Hak Jai still joked, "I feel every year on birthdays or anniversaries I have to do the same thing. Then everyone would be able to remember this day!"

Former TVB variety program producer Wilson Chin Kwok Wai yesterday afternoon passed away at the Hong Kong Sanitorium and Hospital from pancreatic cancer at age 58. In May this year he was rumored to be seriously ill. At the time he was caught to be extremely thin, lacking even the strength to walk as he required help from his wife Calinda Chan Yuen Wai. Some said that last year his pancreas had problems and he needed a gallbladder removal operation. Then his condition improved for awhile, then recently it worsened and finally he passed away. He was survived by his wife and their two year old daughter. SUPER TRIO's Eric Tsang Chi Wai also revealed that this golden partner would miss his young daughter the most.

Chin Kwok Wai succumbed to pancreatic cancer. Produced countless variety programs, directed movies and produced concerts, he was widely known in the industry. Many artists upon hearing the news of his passing were saddened.

Working with Chin Kwok Wai on the variety program SUPER TRIO, Tsang Chi Wai was extremely saddened over the passing of his good brother Chin Kwok Wai. Chi Wai's impression of Chin Kwok Wai was that he was very active in the industry, but privately he also spent a lot of time to help those in the business. He has done a lot, like directing many large scale charity and disaster fund raiser. He also directed and produced the Hong Kong Film Awards. He volunteered for those jobs and he gladly did them.

Chi Wai lamented, "From the first episode of SUPER TRIO we already worked together. It's 20 some years. Originally I said I would wait for him for a 25th anniversary SUPER TRIO commemorative edition, but unfortunately over a year ago he discovered a problem with his pancreas. Actually for a period we thought we had hope, because in Japan we found a doctor who used immune cell therapy that was very suitable for treating him. Due to the pandemic he couldn't go to Japan, which was a setback for his confidence!" Chi Wai pointed out that Chin Kwok Wai

Did Chin Kwok Wai have any final wish? Chi Wai said, "He missed his daughter, she is still very little!" Chi Wai sighed. "Earlier I kept encouraging him and boosted his morale. I told him I was waiting for him for the 25th anniversary SUPER TRIO commemorative edition, and waiting for him to come back and make movies. Originally earlier I had a pandemic film that I wanted him to direct a part of, unfortunately he didn't have enough strength!" Now Chin Kwok Wai passed, would his wife and daughter have problems financially? Chi Wai said that everyone have already called to ask if they need any help. "The most urgent is taking care of his funeral, we can talk about the rest later!"

The Hong Kong Performing Artist Guild president Louis Koo Tin Lok said, "I would like to thank him for his contribution to Hong Kong show business as a producer. Wilson was also this term's Performing Artist Guild vice president. He put his heart and effort into the Guild. I wish him a safe journey! The Guild will contact his family and try to provide assistance!"

Two days ago many friends learned that Chin Kwok Wai's condition was less than optimistic and went to the hospital to see him one final time. When William So Wing Hong saw Chin Kwok Wai, he could no longer speak but was still conscious and reaction. So Wing Hong said, "Last night (Andy) Hui Chi On and I went to the hospital to keep him company, to say something soothing and encouraging in his ear, and tell him to hurry up and plan the Big Four reunion. We of course know it's not possible, but he tried to say something hopeful to him. At the time he could not speak, but he gave an OK gesture. I also bought him cheese egg and butter pineapple bun. I knew he couldn't eat, but I didn't have much to say so I told him to eat if he could. When I left I told him to rest up, not to think too much. We witnessed his proposal in Las Vegas, with all the firework, we watched the birth of his child. From now on we would try to help as much as we could, I hope his wife would be able to be strong."

The Chin Kwok Wai produced classic program BEAUTIFUL COOKING made its hosts Edmond Leung Hon Man, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, and Alex Fong Lik Sun's popularity roar. Edmond visited Chin in August. Currently in quarantine for work in the Mainland, Edmond said, "Yesterday actually I already received the news, many brothers went to see him for a final time. Before quarantine I visited hi at the hospital in mid August. Chin Kwok Wai and I have known each other for a very long time, since I started in the business. The earliest was the SUPER TRIO production, later with BEAUTIFUL COOKING we became even more familiar. He produced Big Four's two concert tours. On and off stage whether at work or at play, we built great trust and long friendship. I know about his illness for awhile. Earlier he didn't want to worry everyone, he was unwilling to see us. In the recent months I finally was able to see him. The news came rather suddenly, may he rest in peace and my condolences to his family."

Cheng Chung Kei said, "Only because of you there was BEAUTIFUL COOKING, also because of BEAUTIFUL COOKING Edmond, Siu Fong and I had our most successful and representative work, thank you! I wish you to be in a comfortable place to continue to demonstrate your abilities now, to continue to make everyone so happy! Everyone please take care, good health to everyone!"

Leo Ku Kui Ke and Chin Kwok Wai have worked together on concerts. Gei Jai posted, "My heart hurts very, very, very much. My tears can't be stopped. Texts recorded those photos and conversations. Each time we battled shoulder to shoulder. Before each concert in my ear piece would be you saying 'Gei Jai good show'. My heart hurts very, very much."

The youth inspirational film FIND YOUR VOICE (YIT HUET HUP CHEUNG TUEN) found many student actors for this cast, among them the youngest, 13 year old Yiu Hok Chi, actually did not know who Andy Lau Tak Wa was. The film had Wa Jai as its producer and star, Kwan Shun Fai as its director, Cheung Pui King its screenwriter. Other actors included Lowell Lo Koon Ting, Mark Lui Chung Tak, Hugo Goh (Ng Toi Yung), Rachel Lee Lai Chun, Eddie Kwan Lai Kit and Vincent Wan Yeung Ning. The film will open on November 26th

Not arrogant at all in person, Wa Jai on and off camera had the respect of the students. He never deliberately kept his distance from students, often taking the initiative to chat and sing with students. He even performed magic tricks. One scene was shot at the pier. Wa Jai picked up a rock for his trick, attracting many students to watch. Wa Jai made the rock disappear from their hands. The students were in awe and kept asking Wa Jai how he did it. Wa Jai immediately demonstrated and shared the secret with them, as the set turned into "Wa Jai Magic School".

Aside from magic tricks, Wa Jai also tried a 33 person 44 legged race with 33 students. In the story Wa Jai in order to train the choir members' unity asked them to be tied together to complete the 33 person 44 legged walk. Because practice required time, Wa Jai personally directed each student very attentively and patiently. Although in the eyes of many students, Wa Jai was the idol of many, but the youngest, only 13 year old actor Yiu Hok Chi, who played Siu Lung, revealed, "At first I had no idea who he was. I didn't understand why some people would see him and vry. Later My mama told me he was a big star. Then I started to notice traces of him on buses and video stores. I finally realized that he really is very popular, haha."

Becoming one with the student body during this shoot, Wa Jai joked, "Youth has never left me! Actually children keep appearing around me, including at fan clubs, the company screenwriters are all in their twenties. Although physically I am no match for them, I absolutely am in a state of mind to be able to communicate with them. (When you see them are you reminded of when you are young?) Of course, actually I am a little similar to them. Because when I was young, my dream was to direct. However after awhile, the instructor thought I had more potential as an actor." Wa Jai also felt that each person's dream would need some time to preserve. The most important was to be able to pick it up and to let it go, knowing to change your state of mind.
