Louis Koo Tin Lok (Goo Jai), Mrs. Joseph Lau Luen Hung Chan Hoi Wan (Kimbee) and her daughters Lau Sau Wah, Louisa Mak Ming Sze, Alya Sham Yuet and others dressed up to attend the formal party the night before, and Koo Tin Lok was awarded the "Diamond Achievement Award" in recognition of his achievements in the film industry. Speaking of the Anselm Chan Mou Yin directed movie THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK), after 20 days in release its total box office in Hong Kong and Macao the day before yesterday has broken through the HK$ 100 million mark. It was expected to move towards a box office of 150 million to hit a new high. Invested in TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUN SING JAI JI WAI SING), Goo Jai hoped that THE LAST DANCE will surpass TWILIGHT AND that the industry will work together to create another peak of Hong Kong films.

Reportedly Goo Jai's One Cool Group invested TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN has accumulated a global box office of more than US$ 110 million (about HK$850 million), ranked second in the box office of Chinese films in Hong Kong film history, and set a record for the highest number of attendees of nearly 1.7 million. Speaking of the box office of the movie THE LAST DANCE exceeded 100 million and surpassed WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) for third place at the box office of Chinese films. Not yet had time to watch THE LAST DANCE, Koo Tin Lok said, "Of course those who make movies want to do well at the box office, and they have to set off firecrackers on joyous occasions. Even if they surpass TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN, it is no problem. The best would be for everyone to surpass each other."

Just finished filming the Lunar New Year film HIT N FUN (LUM SI KUET DAU), Koo Tin Lok remembered that the production of this film encountered three typhoons in two weeks. Although the production progress was not affected, but the indoor shoot encountered water leakage. Muay Thai fighting in the film, Koo Tin Lok revealed that he has the most scenes with German Cheung Man Kit. "Cheung Man Kit was injured already from fighting on the first day, maybe the cold weather and not knowing his own strength caused muscle tears. Even walking became a problem. He was very professional though, as he worked full 3 days with his injuries." Did Koo Tin Lok used all his strength when filming? He joked: "We are just making movies, not taking lives." As for whether he had confidence in the box office of the Lunar New Year film, Koo Tin Lok said, "I definitely have confidence in the ones I make, the most important thing is that everyone is happy from watching it. The movie will also be released in the mainland, but the schedule has not yet been determined."

In charge of presenting the awards, Kimbee invited Koo Tin Lok to join her in "give away hearts" but he shook his head and refused. Kimbee had no choice but to make a heart-shaped gesture next to his face. Kimbee said on the stage that she and Goo Jai have known each other for over 20 years. At the time she was just a little reporter, and he just transitioned from television to film. They saw each other grown. She felt moved to witness his contributions to the industry and the society.

When Goo Jai accepted the award he said that the movie business in Hong Kong was very difficult. The "Diamond Achievement Award" did not just belong to him, but represented everyone on and off camera. Because of everyone's unity, hard work and support, this year's Hong Kong films have performed well at the box office and overseas film festival. He said that he needed everyone to tell the whole world, how sharp the charm of Hong Kong films is!

In addition, in 2021 the Joseph Lau Charitable Foundation announced that it would cooperate with One Cool Group on 5 films. Koo Tin Lok said that there was still one film that has not yet been filmed, and he has thought about inviting Kimbee to make a cameo appearance in the movie. Kimbee joked, "Koo Tin Lok minds that I can't act and wants me to play the fat housewife. I turned him down!" Koo Tin Lok said, "Where are you fat? I have asked her, but she thought that I was joking. She can play the strong woman role." Kimbee said that her daughter Josephine Lau Sau Wah has been interested in acting, but she has to complete her education first. Would the foundation increase its cooperation? Kimbee said that would depend on the environment and the situation, the purpose of setting up the fund was not to make money.

The Michael Hui Koon Man and Dayo Wong Tze Wah starred, Anselm Chan Mou Yin directed film THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) has broken through HK$ 100 million box office in just 20 days of release. The leading actors received the good news and personally expressed their gratitude to the audience. Tze Wah god stated that even more unexpected was hearing about many people who received encouragement from the film, took a step back from the gates of hell and restart their journeys.

Tze Wah said frankly: "Actually when the box office has reached half of what it is today long ago, I already felt that I would be able to answer to everyone and breathed a sigh of relief. Even more surprising was hearing that many people got inspiration and encouragement from this movie, and even hearing that some people have taken a step by from the gate of hell and restarted their journey. Thank you to the audience for the encouragement you have given us. I also wish the people on the same ride would able to be energize themselves and properly savor the scenery along the way."

Hui Koon Man pointed out that he quite agreed with a dialogue in the film, "Why care about when to get off the ride, why not properly enjoy the scenery along the way." He believed that Hong Kong was now facing difficulties. Through the good performance of THE LAST DANCE, he hoped that the industry would work together to make good movies.

Currently in Australia to attended THE LAST DANCE premiere there, Michelle Wai Sze Nga thanked the audience for their support from overseas. "I am so happy, so excited, this moment is unforgettable. Thank you to all the audience for stepping into the cinema again to support Hong Kong films, achieving this result truly hasn't been easy. I hope to be able to share it with our team!"

Having worked closely with Chan Mou Yin, Tommy Chu Pak Hong wrote a long article to share his feelings. "The performance of THE LAST DANCE so far, whether it is at the box office, the degree of discussion, and even the audience's praise for yours truly has been really encouraging. For me personally, what I am most grateful for is that I can feel from each audience appreciation show and viewer review that THE LAST DANCE has succeeded in achieving its most artistic efficiency. She has become a channel for most viewers to express their emotions and reflect on life. I would like to express my gratitude to all the audience, their support and spreading the word have also helped us to successfully help many lives move on; and enabled our team's hard efforts to be of use and serve the audience."

An excited Catherine Chau Ka Ye also shared a post, "I'm so excited to be able to share THE LAST DANCE, a movie with a message, which is particularly inspiring as an actor. I know that many viewers have already brushed up three or four times on this work, very supportive of this film that the directors and actors worked together in unity. I think this movie has life, and I can't forget that many viewers who said that they were relieved because of this movie at audience appreciation shows. Thank you very much to so many viewers for your support, and for taking the initiative to share this movie on social media platforms!"

Modeling for the female corpse "Hei Man" in the film, special contract actor Katrina Chan Pui Yan said that she obtained the opportunity to perform in THE LAST DANCE through an intermediary company. Although she knew that she would just model for the mold and she did not have to personally perform as a corpse, she did not mind because she has paid attention to foreign special effect makeup. She really wanted to experience how to become another person through special effect makeup and it was also an opportunity to be recognized, so she agreed without thinking about it. "I didn't worry about bad luck after playing the dead body. I am a Christian, I have a very open view of life and death and I also want to know what state I will be in after death." She said that the process of pouring the mold was not hard, but there was a sense of fear. "First I 'slicked back' my hair and put on a skull cap, and then my entire face was covered with a thick green material. I was so scared at the time, it was pitch black. There was a sense of pressure, and with my allergy I was worried that I would not be able to breathe. The chemical effect pouring the mold created made the material pressed against my head, I felt like I was being strangled around my neck. Then the plaster was poured. The whole process was more than two hours."

Although Chan Pui Yan did not need to "show her face", her hands had a big close-up shot. She joked that after watching THE LAST DANCE she felt that her "fingers" performed well. "It was difficult. Because as soon as I breathed the shot was done for, I had to hold my breath for half a minute to two minutes as soon as the cameras rolled. At first I didn't know how to control, any slight movement led to frequent bad takes. Having to maintain a static state is truly not easy." She joked that when she saw her "posthumous photo" in the mourning hall, she felt like an out-of-body soul. This scene left a deep impression on the audience, which Chan Pui Yan said that she did not expect. "There was no acting and no dialogue, but the audience actually noticed my existence. It was so magical, just like coming back to life after death."

The movie had a famous saying, "The living has to break hell, and the living has many hells." Chan Pui Yan said that she has encountered a lot of "hell", and she had to break through the difficulties. "Since I was little my goal is to be an actor. Back then when I studied fashion design in New York, the process was very difficult. Because my parents had high expectations for me but I was not interested in this subject, I minored in drama. However my parents, boyfriend and friends didn't understand and strongly opposed to me being an actor, so I suffered from emotional illness. I hesitated about my own wishes and felt that life had no meaning, like I was living in hell. After graduating I returned to Hong Kong, I participated in the ViuTV talent show "GOOD NIGHT SHOW - CM QUEEN. The screenwriter minded that I sounded official and didn't reveal any secret, which made the show less entertaining and made me more and more lost. I was another hell."

After GOOD NIGHT SHOW - CM QUEEN, in 2021 Chan Pui Yan decided to go to the United States and Australia to re-learn drama, and did a 17 show run of a play in Australia. She played 5 roles by herself, which was very satisfying. A company there signed her and gradually her self confidence returned. She again returned to Hong Kong to find a stage that belonged to herself. She was very happy to have her current boyfriend's and parents' support. With her passion for acting, she has recently attended directing classes, drama classes and dubbing internship classes, "I am equipping myself for opportunities I haven't had yet. I really like acting, when I was little I often went to the movies with my parents. I really like the feeling of everyone focusing on watching the movie in the pitch dark theater, which brings everyone into another world."

Before Chan Pui Yan performed in THE LAST DANCE, she had guest appearances in I STILL REMEMBER (YI CHI YUN SUN), THE GOLDFINER (GUM SAU JI) and WE ARE FAMILY (CHOOK JO GA YUN). Now she is 30 years old and she is finally recognized, she admitted that she started late and could only slowly catch up. She understood that she could not reach the top in one step. She said, "THE LAST DANCE really helped me break the hell. I entered the industry in 2016, and waited 8 years before someone recognized me. Actors who entered the industry in the same year as me have all been on the top, like Lam Ka Hei (Locker) and (Neo) Yau Hawk Sau; which for me was a little hard to take. I don't know what the film will bring me yet, but at least people know that I Chan Pui Yan exists, and I hope that even more directors will give me the opportunity to play a 'living person' with dialogue."

Actress Chrissie Chau Sau Na dressed up to attend an event the night before. She said that she has finished filming the Lunar New Year film, in which she played the role of Muay Thai champion boxer and had many fight scenes with Louise Wong Dan Nei. In order to look the part, she spent 1 month practicing Muay Thai. She said with a smile that learn something new was not bad; but she was injured during practice and at work and became a woman who was easily hurt. "Constant bruises were minor when practicing Muay Thai. On the first day of work I had an accident already. I was in shorts and accidentally kicked a metal chair, my left calf was sliced and I went to the hospital for 5 stitches. Then at work I had adhesive bandage like a part of the costume. It might leave a scar. (Do you want to find a man who loves you even if you have scars?) With or without scars he has to love me, without a bra he has to love even more. If he doesn't love me with scars, I don't want anyone like that. (Has this person appeared yet?) This scar of mine is new, but no one has appeared yet."

My career has reached a spot, what should I do? After watching the movie just now, I thought, 'If I reach age 70 and my life is such a failure, what will I do?' However as long as you don't give up, you can restart your life at any age."

Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui (Brother Tan), Jay Fung Won Him, Amy Lo Wai Man and Fish Liew Chi Yu and the dog actor in the film went to Tseung Kwan O the night before to attend the promotional event of the movie AN ABANDONED TEAM (DUT CHUNG SIN SUN), which coincided with Brother Tan's 69th birthday the night before. The whole place sang a birthday song and present a cake to him to celebrate. Brother Tan made a wish on the stage and felt inspired to say, "Making Hong Kong movies have never been easy, but the less easy it is the more people hope to get over this hardship, achieve their dreams. Today two directors (Lee Chi Wai and Ho Ying Ngai directed and wrote) have achieved their dreams and the film would be released. I hope you will support this film." Brother Tan also said that he wanted to be a little selfish with his birthday wish, this year he asked his former students to not take him to dinner or give gifts. Instead he asked then to buy tickets to watch the movie and give their opinions, then take a photo of the ticket stub and send it to him. "That would be the best gift. Making this movie in the summer a few years ago, I suffered a heat stroke."

Jay and Amy played a couple in the film. Making a movie for the first time, Jay had more than 10 takes for one scene. "Because the first scene was going to be filmed separately from Amy, it was relatively heavy. I was not familiar with Amy yet at that time, plus I was shy and nervous. We didn't communicate much, but I was grateful to Amy for bringing me into character." Amy joked that she was Jay's little elder in acting, and praised Jay for being very sweet and comfortable to work with. In the film she had many scenes with elder Brother Tan, and Amy admitted that she was so nervous and stressed.

When asked if Jay would make the jump from singing to acting, and enter the film industry? He said that if someone asked him to make a film, he would give it a try. However he would need to attend acting classes beforehand. Speaking of his kiss scene with Amy being cut, Jay laughed at himself. "Maybe I didn't do a good enough job." He also joked that he practice in front of the mirror and felt very natural, but perhaps he was not ready yet. When asked if his girlfriend knew about his kiss scene and was she jealous, he said, "She knows. She envies me so much because Amy is such a beautiful girl, but my girlfriend hasn't seen the movie yet. She will support it. Unfortunately she is not in Hong Kong now, so I can't introduce Amy to her yet."

Recently, a number of Hong Kong-made films have had an ideal box office. THE LAST DANCE has even set off a ticket grabbing boom. Although ABANDONED would be released at the same time as LAST, Brother Tan believed that this was a good influence because the audience will see the trailer of ABANDONED when they go to see LAST. He was happy to see that Hong Kong's large, medium and small films have all been produced at a high level, and he also believes that the Hong Kong film industry was thriving and promising. He said, "One film a year has a box office of HK$100 million, and each one has its own characteristics. There are also many young actors and directors, Hong Kong films definitely has hope. In addition filmmakers are gluttons for punishment; the more difficult it is, the more they wouldn't stop until they are done." Brother Tan did not shy away from saying that he had great hopes for the box office of ABANDONED, because the boss would have to make money before there would be the next one.

Playing Brother Tan's daughter in the film, Liew Chi Yu appeared with blue hair the night before. She said that she was making another movie, and specifically took time off to celebrate Brother Tan's birthday. The character in the new film liked anime and manga very much. She thanked each director for having imagination for her, and believed that she could play different roles. She revealed that years ago she auditioned for a Brother Tan directed film and in the end lost to Larine Tang Yueping. This time she was finally able to work with Brother Tan. Brother Tan laughed and said that the movie was THE YUPPIE FANTASIA 3 (SIU NAM YUN JAU GEI 3 JI NG GA YAU HEI). Brother Tan joked, "The Chinese title at first was NG GA YAU NUI 33D (I HAVE A 33D GIRL). (Did she lose due to her figure?) Because the Chinese title was too long, she lost from not paying attention to it."

MIRROR member Ian Chan Cheuk Yin and COLLAR member Marf Yau Yin Tung attended a fashion brand event at Causeway Bay yesterday. Marf was previously absent from thanking the audience for her movie BLOSSOMS UNDER SOMEWHERE (KEI LIU YUT JING GOR CHUN TIN) due to illness and was accused of acting like a big shot. She said that different people had different opinions She did not do anything wrong, but she felt guilty about the fans who bought tickets to support her. She will participate in the audience appreciation events later. Ian made it to the top 5 of "My Favorite Male Singer" and the top 5 male singers of "Metro Hit Awards". He thanked everyone for their appreciation, and admitted his passivity and restraint. He was grateful to fans for campaigning for him. As for the turmoil between JFYT members Chan Yuk Lun (Brother Bed) and Keung Tao and Edan Lui Cheuk On, he said that everyone had their own views and opinions. They should accept and respect each other.

Marf just recovered from a serious illness and revealed that she was 70 to 80% better from the flu and that the neck injury has also healed. "The neck injury is from sneezing. It wasn't the first time that has happened. I have injured the anterior sternum before, and I advise everyone to practice sneezing". She was grateful to the members of COLLAR for their understanding. With the concert about to take place, they only arranged for her to hit her marks during the rehearsal so she did not need to make big moves. She also revealed that many group mates are sick, and some had pneumonia. She clarified that she was not the source that infected other members.
A few days ago, Marf was absent from thanking the audience for her the movie BLOSSOMS UNDER SOMEWHERE (GEI LIU YUT JING GOR CHUN TIN) and was accused of acting like a big shot. Later manager Tai Wing explained that she was unwell. For the accusation, she said that different events had different opinions. She did nothing wrong, and she had a reason for her absence. "Those who understand me will understand, it doesn't matter; instead I feel guilty about the fans, they bought tickets to support their idols but didn't get to."

Will she tell everyone about her illness directly on social media platforms in the future? Marf said, "I don't like to tell people that I don't feel well, I don't want the fans to worry." She revealed that she would thank the audience for the movie in the future, and hoped that everyone would continue to support her. "The result (box office) has not been released, and there may not be anything worth regretting".

The Ian and Ekin Cheng starred LAST SONG FOR YOU (GAU BIT CHUNG FUNG) will be released around Christmas. He has already made time to do publicity and thank the audience, and was not worried about the box office. "Just like my song-making philosophy, do things well and the rest is bonus. The most important thing is that the essence is good, and after a few years when everyone will listen to my songs and watch my movies again they would still praise them."

In the film many actors delivered surprise action performances in the ring, and the cast and the crew gathered in the ring for a group photo. Koo Tin Lok was the photo opportunity target of the actors. He said, "I am very happy to have successfully completed the filming of the Lunar New Year film HIT N FUN. Seeing how hard the actors worked to put on wonderful action scenes with a story full of comedic rhythm, I believe it will be an entertaining Lunar New Year show."

Lead actress GiGi said, "I am so happy to train with Dan Nei and Sau Na to prepare for this film, I am so happy to get to know them, and it feels so fresh to work with Goo Jai after many years. This time he and I play a couple again, the feeling is pretty interesting and intimate. I already knew the director when I made my first film, and he helped me audition at that time. Having known each other for so many years we finally worked together for the first time, I am grateful to the director for giving me a lot of room to act."

Wong Dan Nei said, "I've always wanted to make a comedy once, and this time I finally was able to make my dream come true. I have the opportunity to work with an all new cast, and I have learned a lot about comedy from them. At the same time after filming Muay Thai action scenes for a few days, when I got up those several mornings the muscles all over my body were sore; but after successfully achieving the required stunts, the sense of satisfaction was really indescribable. This was a challenge for the character and a challenge as well for Wong Dan Nei, who has grown up and become more fearless. It was a very valuable production experience." Chau Sau Na said, "For me it was a fresh and exciting filming process, especially the boxing match between me and Dan Nei; the whole process was so satisfying, we rarely used stand-ins so I had a sense of success and happiness." Wu Tsz Tung also said, "Although the production set was so intense, every one of us has contributed a lot. I am looking forward to seeing the movie. This is the first time that I have made a film with more comedy elements, and the filming process was very fun. The whole thing was very enjoyable."

Girl group COLLAR member Marf Yau Yin Ting's film debut BLOSSOMS UNDER SOMEWHERE (KEI LIU YUT JING GOR CHUN TIN) opened last week. As one of the lead actresses, Marf was accused of being absent from audience appreciation events and publicity. The other lead actress Sheena Chan Shu Yan meanwhile went busking on the streets to build momentum for the new film, which provoked harsh online criticism of Marf. Marf was absent from one of the audience appreciation shows due to feeling unwell, but the next day she posted a cosplay of WICIKED's Elphaba on social media. People online criticized her for promoting other movies, disrespecting the new film she starred in, putting on air and ignoring the box office.

Marf posted the day before yesterday to explain that she was unable to participate in the audience appreciation event due to illness. "I want to talk about everyone's misunderstanding of my attitude towards the promotion of the movie recently, the makeup cover was shot a week ago. While in sick bed I wanted to share a happy post. The original intent was to keep everyone from worrying and continuing to promote in different ways. The absence from the audience appreciation event was because her body failing me, due to a severe flu I again injured the neck and spine as well. I have to have physical therapy. I will work hard to recover, get better faster as I don't want to affect the concert and other jobs. I look forward to seeing you all of you at audience appreciation event. Thank you to my little friends for your continued concern."

COLLAR manager Tai Wing posted on social media platforms the day before yesterday that almost all of COLLAR were sick last week. Some went in and out of hospitals numerous times, and some vomited. Yet they still worked hard to rehearse everyday. She mentioned that Marf had too much work on her shoulders, releasing 3 duets in two weeks, as well as movie promotion and concert rehearsals. The manager blamed herself for her improper arrangement. As for Marf's absence from the audience appreciation events, the decision was not random. "After surviving a few audience appreciation shows, she found that her condition was more serious. One night she was absent from the audience appreciation event at the last minute because she found that her neck and spine were also injured. She failed the very attentive publicity team, sorry everyone......."

Tai Wing said that the film costumes and some promotional content were Marf's creations, and they were made from her love for the film. It would be unfair to talk about Marf's absence as "acting like a big shot". Marf and her group mates attended the press conference for "CHILL Thai Music Festival" yesterday, but the media was informed in advance that COLLAR would not be interviewed.

Two generations of comedians Michael Hui Koon Man and Dayo Wong Tze Wah starred in THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK), which has a fierce box office trend. As of two days ago it accumulated HK$ 96 million, and reaching 100 million was in sight. Hui Koon Man was happy that the movie had good results, and declared that at the celebration of breaking 100 million he would put on the Taoist robe and gave away lai see. He would also thank the audience with Wong Tze Wah. The 82-year-old Hui Koon Man has already "broken hell" for himself, and was mentally prepared to "get off the ride" at any time. He also explain to his family his funeral arrangements. He was not superstitious, so he asked his wife to scatter his ashes at sea in Sai Kung as fish food, or make some of the ashes into ornaments and put them at home in remembrance. He also revealed that (Sam) Hui Koon Kit placed their brother (Ricky) Hui Koon Ying's ashes in the backyard of his residence, and relatives could pay homage at any time.

Hui Koon Man was interviewed yesterday. He said that he was very happy that the box office of THE LAST DANCE was about to break 100 million. He has dreamed his whole life of breaking the record, when he directed and starred in SECURITY UNLIMITED (MOR DUN BO BIU) he has already broken his own record 3 times. He then looked forward to breaking the 4th record with THE MAGIC TOUCH (SUN SUEN), so he asked Dayo Wong Tze Wah to help and come up with ideas; but it was unsuccessful. "It is considered a failure, and then I hid for a few years to come up with a movie. I even told Tze Wah, who wanted to be a star back then, once I came up with something I would find him to be the actor; but I didn't expect to wait for 32 years." He said that he was almost exhausted of ideas, his wife joked that he pondered for so long that he could no longer play the lead; he would have to play the old role. Hui Koon Man felt that what his wife said made sense, so while he could moved freely he did not want to waste time. Before coming up with a script to direct and star in, he would first be an actor. Fate arranged for him to work with Tze Wah again, which could be regarded as fulfilling the promise made between the two 32 years ago.

Hui Koon Man was happy that many viewers broke the "hell" in their hearts after watching THE LAST DANCE. He also "broke hell" for himself, "I agree with the philosophy at the end of the film, 'Why care about when to get off the ride, it's better to enjoy the scenery along the way'. Time is limited, I don't know when I would get off the ride. I am already 82 years old, time is short and I could get off the ride at any time. So I shouldn't be bothered by the pain in my heart. I am just like Tze Wah; I know that a friend I don't like very much would be at dinner, but I agree to attend anyway. I take the initiative to talk to him and eliminate the hatred".

Hui Koon Man believed that if you have something you would like to do in your lifetime, you should do it boldly; and if you have3 something you want to talk to those close to you then you should say it immediately. "I used my own style to say something similar to 'I love you' to my wife, and I would praise my children. I have prepared for death, and told them not to be sad; to cremate me, and scatter my ashes at sea in Sai Kung. Because I have been fishing in Sai Kung since I was little, after turning into ashes I would become food for the fishes. There would be no need for a cemetery plot. On the anniversary of my death, everyone could go to Sai Kung and look at the3 sea to mourn me. I wouldn't need to fight with others and spent over a million to buy a niche for the ashes. My wife didn't approve of it, so I said that I would turn some of the ashes into ornaments and put them at home in remembrance. My wife said that no one puts the ashes at home. I am not superstitious, (Sam) Hui Koon Kit has put (Ricky) Hui Koon Ying's ashes in the backyard, where we can pay our respect to him at any time."

THE LAST DANCE has achieved great results, would he work with Tze Wah again? Hui Koon Man said, "I hope to make a comedy with Tze Wah in my lifetime, and he agrees. We've all invested in comedy all our lives; now that the film environment is poor and no one is watching movie, the two of us are trying our best to make a comedy for Hong Kong, hoping to be a hit and create a new journey for the next generation to have a new beginning." He said that Hong Kong films are currently facing a cruel and difficult situation. Although the market is very poor, TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG WAI SING JI WAI SING) and THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) have achieved good results and proved that the audience is willing to pay to watch quality films at the theaters, and the industry should encourage them.

When asked if the box office would exceed 100 million, would he learn from other actors and wear swimsuits to give away benefits? He joked, "You want me to streak? For the celebration after breaking 100 million, I would wear a Taoist robe to give away lai see. I would even go with Tze Wah to thank the audience. It means a lot to us, fulfilling the dreams of two people. The world is full of hope, this works too."

The Michael Hui Koon Man and Dayo Wong Tze Wah starred THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK). As of yesterday, the 18th day in release, the official website of the film announced that the box office has exceeded HK$ 95 million and moved towards a box office of 100 million. "Unstoppable, THE LAST DANCE has reached 95 million at the box office. We are very grateful to every viewer for accompanying us on this wonderful journey. Together we would continue to walk even further, continue to see each other at theaters. #ThisTimeReallyHasn'tShamedTheAncestors #TheJourneyTo100Million". According to the data, the highest box office record for Chinese films in Hong Kong was A GUILTY COSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG) with $115,060,394, TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) ranked second with $107,190,733, and THE LAST DANCE is in 3rd place for the time being.

In the closing credits of THE LAST DANCE, there are special thanks to the actors who played "Remains", and director Chan Mou Yin also thanked them for their contributions at audience appreciation evecnts. Earlier Wong Tze Wah and Chan Mou Yin arranged a celebration banquet and invited the film team to attend, including special contract actors who played "The Remains". In the film, the young actor Cayson Yeung Tsz Hong who played the son of Miss Yen (Rosa Velasco), recently shared photos of the celebration banquet, and the cadaver actor Maggie Yeung Jing Man (Monkey), who played the "remains", happily took a photo with Wong Tze Wah; Yeung Jing Man also shared her production experience on social media platforms, mentioning that THE LAST DANCE on and off screen was also very warm, and the director, Wong Tze Wah and the staff respected the actors very much. She mentioned that she performed a cadaver make-up scene; she had to pretend that her mouth could not close, then Wong Tze Wah closed it with his hand and used a wooden stick to support the bottom of her chin to near her collarbone. During the shoot the director asked if she was uncomfortable numerous times and often comforted her, "It's hard on you! Almost done! Tough it out a little longer!" Tze Wah also asked her if she was uncomfortable, and said that she had worked hard. She was grateful to meet a director who cared about the team, no wonder he was able to make such a warm work. Her photo and name appeared at the end of the film, which also surprised her. She thanked the director for respecting each actor.

Some online found that Yeung Jing Man was unsuccessful at the 2015 Miss Hong Kong pageant, the same year as Louisa Mak Ming Sze. At the time she was called "counterfeit Eileen Yiu". She is currently an online influencer and aside from operating an online store, she also participates in film and TV performances, as well as commercial performances.

Actress Chung Suet Ying recently played the hearing-impaired person in the movie THE WAY WE TALK (HONG NGOR GUM TIN JUM MOR SUET), with which at the "61st Taiwan Golden Horse Awards" she defeated her elders Sylvia Chang Aijia and others to win the Golden Horse Best Actress award for the first time. Yesterday she spoke to the media and popped champagne to celebrate. She said that she had no special way to celebrate, just got a good night's sleep. "Rest more and recover, which would improve my health." She said that originally she planned to watch a lot of movies at the Golden Horse Film Festival, but she ran into audience appreciation event.

Chung Suet Ying said that when she won she was no longer emotional. "Because I never thought about winning, so when I was on the stage I was very peaceful." When the winner was announced that night, some nominees were photographed with their mouths wide open, seemingly surprised by the results. In response, Chung Suet Ying pointed out that she has not watched the video online again. She was not used to watching her own video, as she was afraid that her thank you speech was poor. She used to love watching artists' thank you speeches on the stage and thought that they were very well spoke, but she did not perform too well. Did the result stun Sandra Ng Kwan Yu? Chung Suet Ying generously said, "Don't judge people's mood at the time by a picture, but even if they were surprised it was reasonable; because even I was surprised. Many were surprised. The camera at the time was purely on a close up shot of her face, so everyone blew it out of proportion and talked about it. (Did you see Kwan Yu afterward?) After the award ceremony I didn't run into the other four actresses." She also pointed out that she did not think she was better than others; only the subject of the movie and the character designs had more potential for performance. Before hand she had to learn diving and sign language, the method of expression was also different from the general public's speaking method. Perhaps thus the judges gave a lot of cumulative points for preliminary preparation. When asked if the next target would be the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress, she said, "I don't know when the movie will be released in Hong Kong, so I don't know if I have any confidence. I haven't thought about it yet. (Getting a pay raise?) No one has asked me yet, so I haven't taken it into account. Should I get a raise? Then I would tell you I need a raise, haha." When asked if she would start to be more selective with roles? She said, "It's not up to me to choose. When people look for me, they may think would I be willing to do it? So they are deterred. I would accept any role, and I am happy when I have a movie to make."

In addition, she revealed that after winning the award, she received more than 200 text message blessings. Even her mobile phone app could not take it, so she simply turned off the phone; in addition to the Golden Horse Awards, she was also presented with an electric car by the event. She was worried about where to put it. When the media proposed that it could be sold for cash, she awkwardly said that because only a few were made and the front of the car was inlaid with a horse head logo, it would be difficult to sell. "If I sold it I could be easily discovered, because it has the Golden Horse Award logo. Maybe I would leave it at the company."

Chung Suet Ying, who used to work at the radio station, thanked the group ILUB after winning the award. She said that when she left the radio station, their foul mouths wished that she would become a "future Best Actress". Now that their words have come true, ILUB conceivably was also very happy. She started acting a year after leaving the job. She humbly said that everyone at first were joking and taking jabs at her. "From making fun of me and laughing at me in the beginning, they turned into being happy for me now." However she did not feel the bitterness has ended and the sweetness has arrived, because she has never felt bitter. However she would accept the sweetness that has arrived. She was happy to see many more new actors making movies in Hong Kong, as the opportunities have gone to young actors. She said, "This year I have made two series and two movies, which weren't a lot. However it's not like I had no job either." Now her goal is to strive to become someone who loves to make movies.

After winning the award, the clip of Chung Suet Ying in "Asian Millionstar 3" with Panther Chan Lui and German Ku Cheuk Man sharing the same stage went viral on the Internet. "I have already forgotten about this clip, at the time I was meeting them for the first time." Now all three have achieved success, the competition has been called a star making cradle. She said, "During the competition I thought so too. At the time many people watched that program in my age group. Looking back, I felt I was like a rice ball at the time. Because back then I, including the performance, was even more unsightly. Now I have the chance to watch it again, it seems to be a pretty interesting record. It has become a part of my memory. It's pretty good for people to laugh at the dummy. (The defeat 'made' the Best Actress today?) I only came in 16th, it's impossible for me to win. It's a good thing anyway. I can clearly identify that I'm not suitable for singing, my singing is unpleasant. Haha!"

In addition, Sylvia Chang will attend the "Reading Sharing Session" of Edko Films' DAUGHTER'S DAUGHTER in Hong Kong on December 7th, and invited renowned theatre director Edward Lam Yik Wah, who has collaborated with her on the play DESIGN FOR LIVING, as a special guest to discuss the new book and film.
