Louis Cheung Kai Chung has been busy filming a Lunar New Year
film, but the production team recently tried to force its way into a
beauty salon for production. Because he and Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin
were working on site at the time, they inevitably were swept into the
conflict. When Ah Chung recalled the incident yesterday, he
remembered that the shoot went very quickly then he left. He felt
that actors were passive. The film company involved issued a
statement to clarify the accusations, as the incident shockingly
turned into a he said she said situation.
Cheung Kai Chung admitted yesterday that he was present on the
day of the incident, but he had no knowledge of it. He said in an
interview, "Because it was the first day of work, I put all my energy
into studying the script with the director with all my spirits.
(The production was interrupted near the end?) I didn't know when I
was filming. Ultimately we very quickly finished shooting and went to
film elsewhere, so I didn't know that something was going on. Now a
statement has been made and I won't talk about it more, I hope that
both sides will get things done as soon as possible. Actors will be
passive and concentrate on making a good movie."
The crew involved in the incident issued a statement on social
networks two nights ago and another version. It tried to strongly
proved that they only enter with the permission of the staff. The
relative of the person in charge of the store were still talking
happily with the crew outside the door at that time, then some store
staff were found to be taking pictures of the production staff. When
the crew stepped forward to signal to stop, the other party suddenly
retorted that filming was never permitted. However the crew promised
to delete the 3 shots filmed in the store. The person in charge of
the beauty salon immediately countered with a thousand-character text,
which mentioned, "Two actors suddenly entered the store to hang out,
we opened our doors for business. We did not drive people out and
locked the door, there were two big stars who walked into the store,
and colleagues didn't know what to do."
On the other hand, Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa) recently appeared at
the Shau Kei Wan Market to continue filming on location for the Lunar
New Year film. She wore a loose polka dot shirt and carried an
eco-friendly bag in a down to earth look, attracting a large number of
passers-by. Ah Sa also recently celebrated the birthday of her father
and her cat, and joked that she was celebrating the birthdays of a
pair of "children". "Today is the birthday of my elder boy
(referring to Sa's father) and my younger daughter, happy birthday, my
elder boy wasn't be careful and fell this year, I was so scared......I
wish that he will be healthy and safe in the future. I also wish my
little girl good health, and continue to be able to eat and play
well." Her good sister Gillian Chung Yun Tung also celebrated the
birthday of Ah Sa's father on his birthday, and their relationship was
super good.
The film company "Local Production" issued a statement the
night before on the "trespassing" of the concept store of Mrs. Tsui
Tin Yau's skin care brand, accusing Mrs. Tsui of using exaggerating
words such as "doing it by force" and "actually no different from
rape". Yesterday Mrs. Tsui countered the statement of "Local
Production". The newspaper tried to invite Mrs. Tsui to be
interviewed, but she politely declined and said that she "hopes that
the incident will come to an end".
The wife of a former members of the boy group SHINE Tsui Tin
Yau, Olive Wong opened a skincare brand concept store in Central's Kau
U Fong. A few days ago (22nd) she suddenly posted on IG that a film
company broke into the store for filming without approval, and bluntly
denounced the act as "actually no different from rape". Then the two
sides struck back each other on social networks and became "Rashomon".
The reporter went to the main store in Central's Kau U Fong yesterday
(24th) to get an understanding of the situation. The staff on duty
responded politely to the reporter's questions, but revealed that Mrs.
Tsui would not accept any interview.
After Mrs. Tsui filed a complaint against the film company a
few days ago, "Local Productions Co., Ltd." issued a statement with
the title of "that unilateral statements may not be the whole truth";
in addition to pointing out that "the main members of the film team
have a good relationship with the person in charge of the store,
prompting the creators to try to re-communicate with the store about
the possibility of filming", and also mentioned that "the relative of
the person in charge of the store appeared outside the door and had a
very happy conversation with the main members of the film team,
without any intention of stopping. That's why the walkie-talkie was
put into the store for final preparations for filming". In the end
the team got three shots, during which employees took photos. After
they politely asked the employees to stop, they suddenly said that
filming was not permitted. "All the upheavals caught us off guard."
They believed that the crew and the staff had miscommunication.
They also pointed out that Mrs. Tsui's words such as "do it by forced"
and "actually no different from rape" were exaggerated, which shocked
the team and even damage the company's reputation. The statement
mentioned that when the shop issued the statement, they were still
within 10 meters on the street shooting the film; yet they were said
to have momentary departed after their shoot to avoid responsibility.
They questioned why such strong objections were not raised immediately,
but in an unilateral statement? The team in order to clarify the
truth of the matter has attempted to begin communication in many
ways, but as of the statement release they have yet to receive any
response.
The statement finally stressed that the team had years of
production experiment. They were certain that without the other
party's consent, they would not go into production by force. However
the team was willing to deeply apologize for any misunderstanding they
might have caused and promised to remove the 3 shots of the shop.
Yesterday morning, Mrs. Tsui posted a long post to counter the
statement of "Local Production", and responded point by point. She
mentioned, "The husband of the person in charge has a studio that is
located next to the Kau U Fong store. On the way back to the studio
that day, the husband ran into a production outside the store. At the
same time he politely exchanged a few words with the 'main members of
the film team', and made it clear that everything would need to be
discussed with the person in charge of the store." She also pointed
out, "At the time of the consultation two weeks ago, the person in
charge had a clear idea of who the 'main members' were. If it had
been wishful thinking that personal relationships would have
facilitated the matter, this incident would not have happened. Please
do not involve personal relationships into this irresponsible business
matter, as I am afraid someone would become a laughing stock."
The statement also mentioned that the clerk due to the
inability to stop the production gave up to date information to the
person in charge, captured and reported the situation in the shop.
As for the "momentary departure" it referred to momentary departure
from the shop. She reiterated, "The person in charge of the shop
has never permitted filming. Irresponsible behaviors such as bullying
of an employee who does not have a say and trespassing at the shop
are truly shocking."
Mrs. Tsui continued to point out that it was originally just a
"limited-time" story, but she did not expect it to cause an uproar.
She also accepted the film company's promise to "delete the three
shots at the store", but would reserve all rights to legal action;
finally she said, "I apologize for the impact on the actors, my
husbands, the employees and the staff, as well as the media reports
that are not what our store and I want, I am very sorry. I also thank
you for your concern. I hope that the incident has come to an end."
The press visited the Kau U Fong, Central location to learn
about the incident. The store had three employees on duty. After the
reporter arrived, identified himself, and asked if Mrs. Xu was present,
the staff was very politely said that Mrs. Tsui was not there, and the
staff who were present on the day of the shoot were also absent. The
staff also said that Mrs. Tsui has already explained that she would
not accept any interviews, and finally introduced the products and
services in the store to the reporter in detail. When the reporter
asked if he could take pictures of the store environment outside, the
clerk politely permitted it. The reporter also asked the surrounding
shops about the situation of the day, and the foreign employees of the
restaurant next door expressed that they were also on the scene that
day and saw the film being shot outside the store. However they did
not receive the film company's request to shoot inside the shop. The
newspaper also attempted to invite Mrs. Tsui to an interview through
social media. Although Mrs. Tsui declined she also politely replied,
"Hello, what I want to say has been explained in a statement. I hope
the incident can come to an end, thank you."
