Sisley Choi fulfills her dream and successfully participates in Stephen Chow's new film courtesy of on.cc
Television queen Sisley Choi Si Bui once recommended herself to
Stephen Chow Sing Chi, hoping to join the new film "WOMEN'S SOCCER".
She ended up nailing the target in one shot. Recently she has secretly
started work in Shenzhen, and "battling" with mainland actresses Zhang
Xiaofei and Dilraba. She has been promoted to became a "Sing Girl"!
The director and screenwriter for the film "WOMEN'S", Chow Sing Chi was
very concerned about the new film, and there was even news on the
Internet that he will play a role!
The Chow Sing Chi starred movie SHAOLIN SOCCER has been very
popular since its release in 2001 and has become one of his classics.
The year before last, he announced the preparation of the movie "WOMEN'S
SOCCER" on his birthday, and listed 4 major conditions. "Young and
beautiful, with a good figure, talented and intelligent, and outstanding
physical fitness" to recruit actresses, and stated that he refused to
"P (photoshop) fraud". The response was overwhelming as Sisley Choi Si
Bui, Rosita Kwok Pak Yin, Carmen Kwan Ka Man and other beautiful girls
recommended themselves. With the start of filming last month, the "Hong
Kong Representative" was finally revealed. She was Choi Si Bui, the
television queen with "both beauty and wisdom". Reportedly she has
already joined the team and is working in Shenzhen. She has been
promoted to become a "Sing Girl"!
In recent months, the filming of the "WOMEN'S" film has been in
full swing. In addition to the large stadium, the shoot also went on
location a beach. Conceivably it was for a scene about beach soccer.
In terms of actors, in addition to Choi Si Bui, Zhang Xiaofei, Zhang
Yixing and Dilraba have appeared in different scenes to start work.
Aside from making the movie, Dilraba also took advantage of her time
off the set to attend public activities in other places to make money.
Recently she returned to Shenzhen for the shoot, and did not forget to
"check in" at the hotel with photos. With a sea view outside the
window, she was estimated to be staying at a hotel near the beach.
Some online once filmed a video of her practicing nonstop on the soccer
field. Wearing a number 8 red jersey, she curled up her hair into a
high bun and practiced dribbling on the field. Although it was already
dark at the time, she was still full of energy as she traversed up and
down the field.
As for the other female characters, Zhang Xiaofei was just
like Dilraba -- working very hard to play the role well. In addition
to receiving a lot of physical training in advance, she also had very
demanding of herself during filming! Earlier she changed into a red
jersey to shoot a soccer scene, during which Chow Sing Chi talked to her
very attentively about the details of the shoot. She looked nervous,
and worried that she would not be able to meet Chow Sing Chi's
requirements. Fortunately she successfully met the standard and
completed the shoot in the end.
The director and screenwriter this time, Chow Sing Chi was very
nervous about every detail of the shoot. He was even more intense when
teaching acting. Often he would perform once himself. Recently he has
been rumored on the Internet that he would very likely make a cameo
appearance. Some online left messages, expecting him to "compete" with
the Korean actor Song Kang-ho, who was the humorous referee in the film!
The two had a series of "drama competition" photos on social platforms
the year before last, and people online praised them for getting into
character. If they could really have exchanges in the movie,
conceivably it would be even more exciting.
Irene Wan holds on tight to Bruce He to attend their new film premiere
Singer Hedy Chan reveals that she would release a new song soon courtesy of on.cc

The premiere of the Irene Wan Bik Ha starred movie ONCE UPON A
LIE (FONG DOH MEI YUN YU) was held the night before, and the lead
Taiwanese actor Bruce He Hao Chen came to Hong Kong to attend and toast
with the director; Wan Bik Ha's husband Ho Cho Kwong, and colleagues
Sammy Sum Chun Hin, Kenneth Lai Chun and Hedy Chan (Hoi Yi) also
attended to show their support. In the film Wan Bik Ha and He Hao Chen
connected because of lies and had a older woman-younger man
relationship. He Haochen revealed that his first love was also an older
woman, so he was no stranger to older woman-younger man love. He joked
that he had to suppress himself instead, so as not to accidentally fall
in love with goddess Wan Bik Ha; Wan Bik Ha praised the film for having
many funny plots. One scene was like "moon gazing", because He Hao Chen
has a "back baring" scene; He Hao Chen also said frankly that if the box
office would be ideal and he would like to make a sequel. The audience
would then be able to tell him what to show!
Wan Bik Ha and He Hao Chen talked about their feelings about the
release of the movie in an interview. Wan Bik Ha said that she felt
nervous because she was involved in front of and behind the scenes. The
story was very good, and was her favorite movie in recent years. He Hao
Chen first thanked the team for his Hong Kong visit this time and Wan
Bik Ha took the team out for Korean food. He pointed out that he was
happy about the release of the movie, because this night was the first
time he watched the full version of the movie with everyone. He also
joked, "However I should feel shy when I see my 'moon' scene. I was
also naked in the movie CAFE. WAITING LOVE before, so my connection to
Hong Kong has been relatively naked, haha. (Which one is better?) Of
course this time with Sister Wan Bik Ha! (How many points would you give
you the "Moon"?) I'll leave it to everyone to go and rate it!" Wan Bik
Ha laughed and said that this "moon" was round and white, and should be
given full marks; as for the box office value, it should be HK$ 10
million. He Hao Chen pointed out that he actually grew up watching Hong
Kong movies, and he felt very honored to have the opportunity to perform
in Hong Kong movies.
Showing her support, Hedy Chan Hoi Yi revealed that her first
pop song will be released soon and she has worked hard on it. As a
judge of MIDLIFE SING AND SHINE 3, she said that the top 7 knockout
matches in the last episode have been recorded and revealed that 3 of
the top 7 were her favorites. She did not dare to go easy on the score
on the final night, and would give the contestants confidence with
encouraging education.

Hoshino Ichika unexpectedly hears a song sung by Hatsune Miku at a

it, she notices a screen showing an unfamiliar "Hatsune Miku."
Shocked, she exclaims, "Miku!?" Startled by Ichika's shout, Miku makes

seems to reach them.
During the recent concert, Miku saw Ichika touching many hearts with
her voice. It gave Miku hope that by understanding Ichika, she might

After Covid bankrupts wedding planner Dominic, he moves into
caring for cadavers by taking over his girlfriend’s uncle's
place in a funeral parlour. His services become a hit with
everyone except a crotchety conservative Taoist priest,
Master Man, who is unconvinced that Dominic is committed to
spiritual care. Thus Dominic digs into all of the details of
deathcare while discovering Man’s dedication to the dead means
he disregards his nearest and dearest.
Filmed in funeral homes in Hong Kong's Hung Hom district, the
film has a ring of authenticity while delivering whip-smart
verbal comedy via Michael HUI and Dayo WONG as a mismatched
pair. From there, it opens up into a more considered look at
the Taoist influence in Hong Kong’s funeral rituals and a
fascinating family drama that explores how gender roles are
affected by these traditions.
[ HAWAII INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
Starring current Hong Kong comedy king Dayo Wong and comedy
legend Michael Hui, THE LAST DANCE is the story of a
debt-ridden wedding planner who finds unexpected success as a
funeral planner, but he has to win over a traditional Taoist
priest to stay in the business...The pandemic has sent most
industries into recession. Mired in debt, wedding planner
Dominic gets a miraculous chance to turn things around when
a funeral planner retires and passes the baton to him.
Planning weddings and funerals are polar opposites, but
Dominic puts his all into his new job, from opening graves,
digging coffins, to handling the deceased. No matter how
unpleasant it gets, he takes on everything with gusto. However,
the biggest obstacle is getting the approval of respected
Taoist priest, Master Man. In his 70s, Master Man is a
traditional man who has devoted his life to his Taoist faith.
He wants to pass the mantle to his son, Ben, but Ben is more
devoted to his wife and kids than to Taoism. Master Man's
daughter, Yuet, respects her father greatly. However,
since her ancestors dictated that women are filthy by
nature, Yuet doesn't take romantic relationships seriously.

Dr. Man, an unorthodox psychiatrist, is skilled at extracting the
deepest secrets of his patients. One day, he hops into a random cab
and encounters Choi, the cab driver. Man finds Choi's condition
deeply disturbing but is unable to express his concern during the
short cab ride. A few day later, the two men cross paths again. Choi
has been ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation due to his
alleged involvement in reckless driving, and Man is assigned to his
case. Man quickly realizes that Choi struggles to differentiate
between dreams and reality. He constantly sees "devils". Awake or
not, his mind can never rest; his body continues to waste away. As
hopeless as Choi's condition seems, Man is determined to get to the
bottom of his story. As Choi's story unfolds, Man begins to
experience disturbing and perplexing dreams. These dreams are vivid
and unsettling. The deeper Man delves into Choi's past, the more
intense and haunting his nightmares become. Man becomes increasingly

Choi San-keung, a taxi driver who perpetually lacks sleep, thus
endangering anyone who sets foot in his taxi. One passenger is
psychiatrist Dr Man, who survives the taxi ride and offers to help
Choi. The offer is refused, but Choi later becomes Dr Man's
involuntary patient after a particularly egregious night of driving.
Dr Man has his own personal issues: his motto is "I think a doctor
should do more than prescribe meds," which means a doctor should
also investigate his patients secretly in defiance of common sense
and hospital protocol. In a parallel to Choi, Dr Man also has
sleeping issues. He suffers from disturbing dreams of his deceased
mother, which hints at a secret involving his father, and perhaps
some repressed memories.

In the industry for 25 years, Raymond Lam Fung would set foot in
the Hong Kong Coliseum again after nine years, and hold the "GO WITH THE
FLOW LF LIVE IN HONG KONG" concerts in May. He announced the ultimate
addition of one more show to 7. At the press conference yesterday
(16th), boss Louis Koo Tin Lok made a surprise appearance, promised to
be a guest and challenge to dance and sing CHOK, and even joked that he
would "dance from beginning to end".
Lam Fung revealed that the concert will feature a four-sided
stage design, with new choreography and stage structures, and songs will
be rearranged while retaining the classic style. When asked about the
guest lineup, he said that there would be surprises and revealed that
the three sons of TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI
JI WAI SING) will definitely be present in support. As for whether he
would work together again with former guest Charmaine Sheh Sze Man, he
thoughtfully said, "Last time Ah Sheh was nervous for a long time to be
a guest, this time I won't force her; but my brothers and sisters from
my training class will come to cheer." His wife Zhang Xinyue and their
daughter would also be present in support, but his daughter may only be
able to appear on weekends because she was studying in Shanghai.
Performing at the HK Coliseum again, Lam Fung bluntly said that
he was under pressure, because he had to sing a lot of old and new songs
and a lot of lyrics to remember. He also revealed that in order to
perform in the best state for solo singing, he has been working his
muscles, and he has everything he should have. However this time he did
not want to train himself too thin, as he was worried that his cheeks
would be too sunken. When asked Goo Jai demanding to sing, would they
sing each other's songs with each other at the concert? Lam Fung smiled
and pointed out that when Goo Jai would sing CHOK while he could sing
BOYFRIEND dance version. He praised this song as powerful.
Koo Tin Lok needed to wear sunglasses due to eye floaters, and
revealed that he would have two eye surgeries next month and would need
to suspend work after surgery. With 1,200 degree near sightedness, he
has never had the laser surgery. "This time the lenses would be
changed all at once. My Ma has done it before. (Would you be worried
about any aftermath?) The doctor said that there would have 1% chance
that vision would be blurry and infected. Let's see if I am lucky or
not." Would he make less action films? He joked that with the near
sightedness before he still would. In the future he would make a little
more. As for the concert performance, he quipped, "Lam Fung would
dance POPULAR THIS WEEK, and I would dance CHOK! (Would you sing
BOYFRIEND?) I don't mind, I'm always available." As for whether he
will be the concert guest for all 7 shows, it would depend on the
condition of his eyes. Was his mother worried about him? He smiled and
said that his mother has had eye surgery before.
Recently nominated for Best Actor at the Hong Kong Films Awards
with TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN, Lam Fung admitted that before
the awards ceremony, "I am very nervous, I hope my expression won't
twitch at that time." Regarding online accusations of his wife Zhang
Xinyue for using a fake Labubu phone case, he humorously returned the
microphone and walked away while saying thanks -- making a funny scene.
Speaking of the movie SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR
SHAN)'s world premiere at the midnight screening section of the 2025
Cannes Film Festival, Goo Jai and Sean Lau Ching Wan were both favorites
to compete for the best actor. Goo Jai said that he was very happy and
looking forward to it, but he would not comment on other films before he
has seen them. Although he also wanted to attend, but the doctor
recommended against taking a plane after surgery. When asked about the
marital change between his friend Ronald Cheng Chung Kei and his wife
Sammie Yu Sze Man, Cheng was recently caught attending the family court
in Wan Chai. He responded, "They are having a closed door hearing, so
let them deal with things behind closed doors and give him space.
(Would you ask him out for a drink and talk?) He quit drinking, let's
have tea!"
Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Locker Lam Ka Hei and Ying Chi Yuet
(Little Cat) had a fierce fight in the movie FIGHT FOR TOMORROW
(PING MING SAM LONG). Tam Yiu Man pointed out that this role
has taken him the longest time to think about how to interpret
in his acting career. As for Locker's fierce fight scenes with
Little Cat and also had to fight with currently active fighters
and he was injured during filming, Locker said, "During the
filming I often stayed up late, and my physical exhaustion made
me dizzy. I have already injured my hand during again practice,
and I injured my neck again during a fight scene."
Locker Lam and Kaki Sham have worked together countless times and already have certain amount of chemistry

Hedwig Tam Sin Yin, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Kaki Sham and Locker
Lam Ka Hei starred in the crime movie SMASHING FRANK, which officially
released today (17th). This work was selected for the "22nd Sitges Film
Festival" competition section, subverting the traditional shooting
techniques and performances to attract attention. The four leads not
only analyzed the positioning of the characters in the film, but also
revealed the alternative rebellious history in their respective growth
processes; among them already a father, Kaki learned from it and
realized how to make children meet their playful and rebellious
mentality in a safe environment.
Tam Sin Yin revealed that the character was cynical and
impulsive. As the "mastermind" in the film, she launched the "Frank"
incident because of the injustice suffered by her friend, and recruited
her first love Lam Ka Hei, Yeung Sze Wing and Kaki Sham to plan a
robbery. She also put the process on the Internet to attract attention.
Tam Sin Yin even arranged for Yeung Sze Wing to be a "beautiful girl" to
collect intelligence with beauty.
Kaki Sham's self-deprecating role as Yeung Sze Wing's "unskilled
protector" received complaints from Lam Ka Hei complained. "You are a
'designated driver' and lent a home for our base, which could be
regarded as a contribution." Kaki Sham fought back, "Yes, I almost
forgot; but you really don't seem to have skills, you can't fight and
not skilled enough to shoot." Lam Ka Hei immediately retorted, "My love
and dedication to express my love and contributions for Tam Sin Yin. I
am 'the assistant of the mastermind', who acted as a buffer for the
impulsive mastermind." Kaki Sham continued to laugh and pointed out
that he was equivalent to an "assistant". The two showed chemistry in
their funny bickering, and even broke the news that the crew had a
limited budget, and the shooting scenes were all completed by "faith
acting".
How have the 4 experienced rebellious adolescence? Although Tam
Sin Yin has not robbed in reality, she secretly dyed her hair every week
at the secondary school. She covered it with black on Monday but her
hair was found to be so black that it turned blue. Yeung Sze Wing said
that at the age of 19, she once traveled to Turkey with 3 girlfriends,
and stayed on the deck of a cruise ship to watch the starry sky of the
Aegean Sea. Look back now, although she was rebellious but it was
worth the effort. Lam Ka Hei revealed that he has deliberately violated
the stop and challenged to "get a ticket". Kaki Sham would never forget
the exciting time of visiting the campus at night, but now that he is a
father, of course he hoped that his son would not learn from himself; On
a whim he said, "Instead of forbidding children to explore, it is better
to create a safe environment for adventure. If children really want to
visit the school at night, they may be able to work with the school to
plan an adventure so that the teacher can take care of them from afar."
They would like to play roles with great contrast to themselves
when the opportunity would rise. What characters would they like to
challenge? Tam Sin Yin felt that this question was very hard to answer.
"I won't know how interested I would be in a character when it is in my
hands. The role doesn't matter, the most important is it is written
with dimension, rich and interesting. The more flesh and blood the
character has, the more able I am to discover more and show more
directions." She said that she could challenge vampires or zombies.
"Earlier I attended the film MONTAGES OF A MODERN MOTHERHOOD (FU DUK
BUT) event with Siuyea (Lo Chun Yip). We are both very thin. That day
everyone was very tired, very sleepy and both wore dark color clothing
like vampires. I thought we could play vampires, and make something
like TWILIGHT. Zombie movies work too." Kaki Sham wanted to try
costume period films because their generation of actors has not have
the opportunity. "I hear the elder say that costume and modern are two
different matters. The manner of speech and the style are very
different. I really want to experience it." Lam Ka Hei wanted to make
a science fiction film. He could even be on the wires, relying in
imagination to act in front of a green screen; Yeung Sze Wing wanted to
make an action film and a role with physical disability.
As a new generation of actors in the face of the cold winter of
film and television, did the production reduction mean that they had
less choices? The four of them unanimously said, "Now we are very happy
when we get to work." What would they do? Kaki Sham joked that he
would spend a little less. "Cherish my time with my wife and son. At
work I didn't have time to be with them and experience life with them.
I would take the opportunity to watch more movies and improve myself.
The only thing I can do now is to live in the now." Lam Ka Hei said
that he would have to diversify his investment and discover other
skills. "Whether in terms of money and spirit, I can't put everything
into this business. Although I really like acting, I can't do anything
about running into the cold winter period. The climate is as such,
don't make yourself unhappy. Do other happy things. Maybe more
positive energy would bring me even more work."
Tam Sin Yin and Yeung Sze Wing felt that they needed to prepare
themselves for a the cold winter period. Tam Sin Yin said, "Watch more
movies. Now I don't just watch movies as a viewer. I would think why
they would do it this way, to train myself to absorb." Yeung Sze Wing
leaned toward experiencing life. "Everyone's acting would have their
own methods and ways, but actually they are playing another life. So
they have to go to different places, come in touch with different
people, and the experience would be different."
Fala Chen admits that she made this movie because of her benefactor Ms. Claudie Chung courtesy of singtao.com
Fala Chen was the lead actress in the Nick Cheung Ka Fai
directed and starred PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG). In order to
participate in this movie, Fala has been commuting between Hong Kong and
the United States for more than two months. She even returned to Hong
Kong for 3 days and 2 nights to promote the film. In an interview, Fala
talked about her first collaboration with Ka Fai.
Participating in a film directed by Ka Fai for the first time,
did she have any pressure? Fala laughed, "I know that I give him a
little more pressure, because it was the first time we worked together.
Ka Fai knows his script very well and how to shoot and act, so he would
take me with him at work." She also praised Ka Fai for being very
precise. Even where to put the pair of scissors was well calculated.
She didn't have to think too much and could focus on acting with
confidence.
In the film Fala Chen played Cheung Ka Fai's wife. The two fell
into a catastrophe due to a serious failure in an investment, and Fala
thus became even more insane. Fala revealed that Ka Fai asked her to
lose weight, probably because she played a character who has been in a
state of madness for a long time and became depressed. Unfortunately
she went to France with her family at Christmas, and the food was
currently quite tempting. Fala revealed hat during a photo shoot she
could only use a "dirty trick" to slim down her face. She joked, "Ka
Fai claims to have lost a lot of pounds. I lost 10 pounds, but I
didn't look it. On camera in particular I might not look very thin.
During the photo shoot I used a 'dirty trick'. I bit my cheeks so I
would look thinner, but during the shoot while delivering dialogues
that wouldn't work."
Fala once collaborated with Terrance Lau Chun Him on the stage
play SKYLIGHT. Working together again after nearly 9 years, they
unfortunately only had one scene together. Fala admitted that she was
disappointed, and praised him. When he did the stage play back then he
had just graduated. Now he could be the leading actor on his own, which
was very powerful. She hoped that they will be more opportunities to
"play" with each other in the future.
Angela Yuen checks in with a photo from the hospital courtesy of on.cc
Angela Yuen Lai Lam surprisingly revealed that she has been
admitted to the hospital! She revealed on social networks that she
suddenly had a high fever of 41.9 degrees (Celsius) a few days ago, and
was rushed to the hospital by her manager in the early morning! She
posted an explanation of her illness and apologized for affecting her
work. "I am very sorry for missing the opening ceremony of this year's
HKIFF (Hong Kong International Film Festival). Although I was forced to
stop by doctors and manager, I was not angry and rebellious. I also
really wanted to talk to one powerful filmmaker after another, but the
matter developed to the point that the high fever persisted.
Helplessness began to occupy my brain, so that I gradually no longer had
any spare time for work/play/leisure. I also realized the truth of
'without a healthy body, everything is lost'." She has been discharged
from the hospital and was grateful for everyone's concern.

yesterday. Speaking of Stephen Chow (Sing Yeh) starting production on
the movie SHAOLIN WOMEN'S SOCCER (or WOMEN'S SOCCER) in Shenzhen, Tin
Kai Man revealed that it has been filming for about a month. When the
production first started, Sing Yeh due to focus issues felt
overcautious, but now it has already gotten on track. Which actors
would be involved in the film? Tin Kai Man revealed Dilraba Dilmurat,
and from Hong Kong Sisley Choi Si Bui who recommended herself. Has
Sing Yeh asked him to perform? Tin Kai Man confessed, "I don't know if
he would ask (me), he has only asked me to help him find phone numbers.
We are so close we don't talk about that. If he wants to he would.
(Would you recommend yourself?) The movie is about women, if he thinks
I can be useful, he will naturally ask."
Tin Kai Man said frankly that he was looking forward to working
with Sing Yeh again, and said that he has told Sing Yeh that many people
have been waiting for his performance. "I said that he would reappear
on the screen at the age of 65, and he asked me why. I said that you
will make a movie once every three years. Now you are 62 years old,
after filming "WOMEN'S SOCCER" you will come out and return after three
years so the timing would be right." He also pointed out that Sing Yeh
wanted to film very much, but he did not want to do what the audience
expected before. Instead playing a new Chow Sing Chi would present no
pressure.
In addition, director Wong Jing recently issued an article
criticizing Keung To. Tin Kai Man bluntly said that Wong Jing's remarks
were a little cruel to Keung To, thinking that any young person should
be encouraged. He also joked that he did not know if Wong Jing was
encouraging Keung To in a roundabout way. "I don't know if Brother Jing
is using a kind of extreme thinking to encourage a rising star?"
Regarding Wong Jing's remarks being criticized, did Tin Kai Man believe
that Wong Jing was ungraceful as an elder? He felt that to each its
own, "Of course it wasn't ideal. With Brother Jing's status he used
those terms, there definitely would be more noise. However let's wait
for Brother Jing himself to explain and respond."
Natalie Hsu admits to being picky and has a lot of demands for what she looks for in the other half courtesy of on.cc
Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi) recently spoke with HOY TV, talking
about being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress with
the movie LAST SONG FOR YOU (GAU BIT CHUNG FUNG). She considered
herself lucky to have encountered good scripts and good teams in just 3
years in the industry. Collaborated with Dior Cheng Yi Kin and MIRROR
member Ian, she said "Brother Ekin is an extrovert and talks a lot, but
Ian is so introverted. In the first few days I was scared, because I
didn't know him well enough in reality. The audience would feel that,
so I tried so hard to talk to him. I want to thank him for not minding
me for being annoying."
When talking about the conditions for choosing a mate, Hui Yan
Yi made a lot of demands. "To make me want to become a better version
of myself, to inspire me, not to be too critical, but to have his own
way, to be leisurely, but to be sensitive enough; there is more, I am
only a quarter of a way through! (Are you considered highly demanding?)
Yes, my parents often try to persuade me to lower my requirements and go
out to play! (What about appearances?) He doesn't need to be pretty,
but he needs to be decent. Take a shower every day to avoid smells. He
doesn't have to be tall, because I'm short too."

The Emperor Motion Picture THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) has been
a critical and commercial success; not only did it sweep up multiple
film awards but in terms of box office, last weekend it surpassed the
2018 release of AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR to officially became the third
highest-grossing film in Hong Kong history. The extended version
entered its second week in release and its box office has been
rising to become the Chinese language film with the most people
admitted this past weekend.
In the extended version, Chau Ka Yee pondered the question of
her boyfriend's original family on the beach. This scene seemed to be
sunny on the screen, but actually the day of the shoot was the coldest
few days of the year at that time. Ka Yee said, "The temperature was
only 9 degrees (Celsius), so I had multiple layers on to keep warm.
Fortunately the weather was beautiful. Although the temperature was
low but the sun was shining, which shaped up to be very suitable for
the production effect; it was simply a perfect day."

Taking more than three years to produce, the documentary film
NEVER TOO LATE (JO LIU) was selected for the "Documentary Screening"
section of the 49th Hong Kong International Film Festival and had its
world premiere the night before. The Premiere Ceremony was officiated
by the Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology of the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region, Diane Wong Shuk Han, Vice President of
Business Development and Director of the Group Office of Phoenix
Satellite TV Zhang Tong, and the Chief Executive Officer of WWF-Hong
Kong, Nicole Wong, while other guests included Director Rikki Choy Shui
Kei, Executive Producer Miney Ye Yang, and renowned lyricists Keith Chan
Siu Kei and Gigi Leung Wing Kei.
Gigi Leung sang the theme song for the movie NEVER TOO LATE, and
this time the song was written by Chan Siu Kei, with lyrics in
Cantonese, Putonghua and English. She felt like she was singing a love
song, because it talked about the healing power of nature; just like a
person to a parent or lover, a hug when he is down would be very
therapeutic. Gigi loved nature herself and said that she went to Lantau
Island alone to meditate in 2023. She felt that it was spiritual
growth, which made her own view of family also grow. Gigi also planned
to take her daughter to the theater to watch this movie and see the
beautiful and calm nature.
In addition, speaking of Takeshi Kaneshiro's recent comeback to
shoot commercials, people were reminded of the "golden couple" when Gigi
and Takeshi Kaneshiro first debuted. Would Gigi like to work with her
again? She said that many people were looking forward to working with
him, but she has not contacted him privately. She learned from the
news that he has also been well maintained and has a new movie release
soon. Would Gigi care about another co-star, Louis Koo Tin Lok, who has
a retinal perforation and severe eye floater syndrome? She said, "I
didn't pay attention, then he should rest more, or go to nature to take
a walk and absorb the aura of heaven and earth!"
Michelle Wai reveals that she would walk the Hong Kong Film Awards red carpet, holding hands with her husband courtesy of singtao.com
The Hong Kong Film Awards will be held soon. The Hong Kong Film
Awards Best Actress favorite who just returned from accepting an award
in the United States a few days ago, Michelle Wai Sze Nga surprisingly
revealed that someone tried to open the door to her room in the middle
of the night during her trip to the United States. Luckily it was just
a scare. Wai Sze Nga said that her husband has volunteered to walk the
Hong Kong Film Awards red carpet with her.
Wai Sze Nga has had twice the good news. After winning the
"Extraordinary Actor Award" in the United States a few days ago, Wai Sze
Nga's film THE LAST TIME has become one of the top three in Hong Kong
film box office history. Yesterday Wai Sze Nga attended Orbis's "Walk
for Sight" charity walk and shared her experience in eye care. She
admitted that her vision had been blurred recently. At first she
thought it was "presbyopia", but after borrowing her mother's glasses
she found that was not the case. She had made an appointment with an
ophthalmologist for a detailed examination.
Having won 7 awards for the movie THE LAST DANCE, Wai Sze Nga
did not dare to ask for credit herself and modestly said that it was all
the credit of the team. During her trip to the United States, she saw
audiences from different walks of life. However, the trip to the United
States also had a frightening moment. Wai Sze Nga revealed, "When I was
preparing to rest in the middle of the night, I found that someone
suddenly opened the door. Fortunately I had a security lock, the door
could not be opened directly. I immediately called a colleague in the
next room for help, and the hotel also advised me to call the police;
but I didn't want to go to the middle of the night to file a police
report, maybe another guest tried to open the wrong door."
Referring to THE LAST DANCE becoming the only Hong Kong film to
enter the top three in Hong Kong film box office history, Wai Sze Nga
said, "I only found out a few days ago, I am so happy. I hope everyone
will continue to support it." Speaking of Wai Sze Nga's prospect of
winning the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor at the end of the month,
she said that she would face it with a relaxed mood of going to the
party. She said with a smile, "On the contrary, my husband asked me
if I was nervous, and said that he could walk the red carpet with me.
He knew the rules better than me." As for the choice of what to
wear, she believed that it would be similar to the look in the Hong
Kong Film Awards program.
Hedwig Tam and Lo Chun Yip are nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor with MONTAGES OF A MODERN MOTHERHOOD courtesy of mingpao.com
A few days ago (10th) the 49th Hong Kong International Film
Festival opened at the Hong Kong Cultural Center, the movie MONTAGES
OF A MODERN MOTHERHOOD (FU DUK BUT) premiered at the film festival
the night before, actors Hedwig Tam Sin Yin, Lo Chun Yip, Fung So
Bo, Annie Man Chung Han and director Oliver Chan Siu Guen attended
together. Considered the "Best Actress" dark horse at this year's
Hong Kong Film Awards, Tam Sin Yin joked that she was the "gray horse".
The film MONTAGES OF A MODERN MOTHERHOOD is also in contention
for several awards at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, and has
previously been screened at festivals in Tokyo, Busan and Taiwan.
During an interview, Tam Sin Yin and Lo Chun Yip said that the film has
always been shared in the industry. This is the first premiere for the
Hong Kong public, so they are very much looking forward to the
audience's response.
Tam Sin Yin said, "At first I was worried about the reaction of
the male audience, but I didn't expect that many married men reflected
on their attitude towards their wives after watching it. Children felt
guilty about their mothers, and female audiences sympathized and got
teary eyed." As the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress "dark horse",
she laughed and pointed out that she was dressed like a "gray horse"
but the preparation of the "battle suit" gave her a headache. She
only thought about holding the baby doll on the red carpet with the
film's lead actor Lo Chun Yip.
Lo Chun Yip was also nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" for
the film, so he was also scheduled to walk the red carpet with his
co-star Tam Sin Yin. As for his girlfriend Fish Liew Chi Yu, she would
also attend the Hong Kong Film Awards but he did not ask who she would
walk the red carpet with. They each had different tasks, and it would
be very interesting to participate in it together. Tam Sin Yin and Lo
Chun Yip were actually the most nervous about the audience reactions,
because the subject of this movie was more serious. The film has been
scheduled to be released only a few days before the Hong Kong Film
Awards, so she hoped that being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards
will help increase the box office of the movie.
Irene Wan appears on Nancy Sit's Metro Radio program courtesy of mingpao.com
Irene Wan Bik Ha yesterday appeared on Nancy Sit Ka Yin's Metro
Radio program and promoted the film she invested in and starred in,
ONCE UPON A LIE (FONG DOH MEI YUN YU); which will open on Easter.
Irene said that she was very nervous with the upcoming release,
so she went to Bali for a few days off to relax. She pointed out that
ONCE UP A LIE invited the master Peter Kam Pui Tat to score the film, and had
the black humor of producer Edmond Pang Ho Cheung. In the film she
developed a older woman-younger man relationship with lead actor Bruce
He Hao Chen, who also had a mother-son relationship with the Golden
Horse Best Actress Grace Guei Ah Lei. She hoped that the audience would
like it. In the film she and He Hao Chen started with "online dating",
Irene said that in the past many fans showed their love to her and even
asked for a date, but of course she did not dare to accept it. At most
she would only give a heart gesture in return. "I want to really get
along. Even if he is pretty handsome, he still have to have something
inside to be able to communicate!" As for the older woman, younger man
love in the movie, Irene pointed out that it was also very realistic.
Many boys in Hong Kong also like more mature girls. She hoped that the
audience after watching the film would dare to love. "In fact, age is
just a number, (Nicholas) Tse Ting Fung and Faye Wong are the best
example. Love who you love, no one should mind the age different.
True love is the most valuable. True love has no age limit, and this
film is about this."
Speaking of the recent poor movie market, would she be worried
about the box office of the new film? Irene said, "This way we need to
support Hong Kong films even more. We need to use new people in front
of and behind the scenes. I used a new director in my films. He is a
well-known advertising director, so the pictures this time came out
beautifully."
In addition, when TVB CEO Xu Tao summoned nearly 100 artists to
return to the company for a meeting to listen to opinions, Lo Chun Shun
directly pointed out to Xu Tao that in recent years his income has been
greatly reduced due to the reduction of shows from time to time. Sister
Ka Yin said that that probably happened, but she was not too clear about
the truth. "Lo Chun Shun is a good actor, and he has done a good job in
many roles. However recently the company has made less dramas,
co-produced dramas have to calculate the production budget, and it costs
a lot of money to return to the mainland to shoot. The production and
the investment must be considered. Many actors have a little harder time
during this period. Not only TV dramas, but also less Hong Kong movies
have be made. It is a market problem, in fact, if the company has a
suitable role it would probably use him." Sister Ka Yin pointed out
that recently her Mother Hong Kong Arts Center has been hiring
instructor to teach students to act, and she has asked Lo Chun Shun to
be one for him to share his acting experience. Students would be able
to learn on the journey of performing and receive good development.
Famous Shaw Brothers era actor Ku Feng (Kok Fung) passed away at
home a few days ago at the age of 94. Sister Ka Yin once collaborated
with Ku Feng in the drama VIRTUES OF HARMONY. She recalled, "I have
watched a lot of Uncle Kok Fung's films. Everyone would think that he
was mean and serious, but after working together I learned that he was
so funny. He often shared his filming experience, the whole group would
laugh until their bellies hurt. Actually he was quite a talker and
amiable, and his action could not be better. He was able to get into
character right away, so working with him was very pleasant." However,
Sister Ka Yin pointed out that Ku Feng was over 90 years old after all.
"I am still reluctant, my condolences to his family. I also want to
tell Uncle Kok Fung that he made so many movies and TV works, we will
always miss his artistic contributions. May he have a safe journey!"

The Nick Cheung Ka Fai written, directed and starred film PEG O'
MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) headed toward HK$ 9 million at the box office
after two weeks in release in Hong Kong. The day before yesterday, he
and Terrance Lau Chun Him went to Taiwan to promote, and were surprised
by Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and Eddie Peng Yu-Yan. Cheung Hok Yau sent
flowers and recorded congratulations, and Peng Yu-Yan prepared bubble
tea, pineapple cakes and other delicacies for them. Cheung Ka Fai has
been promoting the movie all over in recent months. A few days ago, a
video of him giving a lecture to a fan was circulated on the Internet.
He received online praises for his patience to explain to the fan,
saying that he should not take extreme behaviors if he could not get
autographs and photos.
Cheung Ka Fai and Lau Chun Him played Choi Sun Keung and Dr. Man
respectively in PEG O' MY HEART, which became the favorite characters of
many online. After promoting the movie HELIOS in Taiwan 10 years ago,
Cheung Ka Fai felt intimate when he set foot in this familiar place
again. The most surprising thing was the support of his "older brother"
Cheung Hok Yau and his disciple Peng Yu-Yan; Hok Yau was holding a
concert in Taipei, and learned that "younger brother" Cheung Ka Fai came
to Taiwan to promote. He also specifically recorded congratulations
even when he could not appear, joked that he was afraid that this
"younger brother's" Mandarin was not good enough, and asked the on-site
master of ceremonies to help translate. He left Cheung Ka Fai not
knowing whether to cry and laugh. Hok Yau even described the tension of
the "Younger Brother's" work as Hitchcockian and congratulated Cheung Ka
Fai on the success of the film, which flattered Cheung Ka Fai.
The disciple Eddie Peng Yu-Yan knew that the Master had a tight
schedule and did not have time to taste Taiwanese food, so he
thoughtfully sent bubble tea and pineapple cakes. Cheung Ka Fai took
the opportunity to make fun of Peng Yu-Yan, who was recently
photographed traveling with a female companion. "Congratulations to
him, some photos on the Internet prove that he is not gay. It turns out
that he also has a girlfriend, and I am happy for him". The event
designed two pillows in the shape of Choi Sun Keung and Dr. Man for
them, and Cheung Ka Fai and Lau Chun Him had fun at the expense of each
other.
In an interview Cheung Ka Fai said that he has contacted Jacky
Cheung Hok Yau, "I said that I was coming to Taiwan but I couldn't watch
your concert, and he said that he also wanted to come and watch the
film. I said don't you come here; with too many people you may catch
the flu, then I would be in big trouble. With so many people who have
bought concert tickets, I can't afford it." He revealed that Cheung Hok
Yau insisted on asking about the time and place of the premiere, so he
guessed that he was the one who sent the flowers. Cheung Ka Fai said
that the movie was about dreams, and he liked to dream very much. He
often dreamed of happy things. Would he accidentally hit his wife
Esther Kwan Wing Ho while dreaming? He laughed and said, "She hit me
once, I don't know if she was intentional or pretending to be asleep. I
thought about it for a while, but I still believe that she didn't mean
to." Lau Chun Him bared his back in the film. He did not deliberately
get into shape before filming, because he thought it was a natural
thing. However the camera was fixed on his rear during the shoot.
Cheung Ka Fai rushed forward to cover up the screen as soon as he saw
it, so as not to let even more people see it. He said, "He is so good,
if I don't stand up when something happens to him, I won't be righteous
enough!" Speaking of Louis Koo Tin Lok's right eye retina issue, Cheung
Ka Fai said that the medical science is advanced, it might be a small
problem. No one would need to worry too much.
In addition, a video of Cheung Ka Fai admonishing fans earlier
went viral. In the clip he was seen getting into the car and leaving
after completing the publicity. Fans approached and asked for
autographs and photos, when they were unsuccessful they conducted
extreme behaviors. Seeing this, Cheung Ka Fai patiently explained to
the fans. He said that he was grateful for the support, but sometimes
the situation would not permit him to sign autographs and take photos.
No one should conduct any extreme behavior. He said, "If people say
they can do what you want, then you go crazy. We can't act like this!
When we work in society, we would encounter something that doesn't go
our way everyday. This way doesn't work, do you understand?" He
asked the fan to understand before agreeing to sign an autograph; the
fan finally said, "Thank you". The video of "teaching fans" has
received positive responses online, praising him for his patience in
reasoning with fans.
The Anita Yuen Wing Yee (Lan Lan) and a group of Malaysian
actors Miko Wong Jie Kee, Juztin Lan (Lau Gai Fai), Chan Fong, Chris
Tong Bingyu starred warm family movie OMG! MOM'S BIG NEWS (OMG! AH MA
YAU HEI) has been scheduled to be released in Hong Kong on May 15th.
The film tells the story of a couple who is about to retire. When they
are about to enjoy the second half of their lives, the wife suddenly
unexpectedly becomes pregnant; not only disrupting the plan for the
"second half" but the whole family also has to think about how to face
sudden problems and examine anew the situation and mentality of how the
family got along and grew over the years. The proposition was worth
anyone to think about in life and touch people's hearts. Lan Lan's
interpretation of the suddenly with child "mama" in the movie was very
appropriate. In a noodle eating solo scene she even performed until
she kept crying, which made the on-site staff also admire the wonderful
performance of this Best Actress-level elder.
Lan Lan has not made a movie for a while. She worked with
Malaysian actors for the first time, and got along well with the family
in and out of the film. The two new actors Miko and Juztin Lan (Lau Kai
Fai) were on the set to take the opportunity to learn even if they were
not in the shoot. Lan Lan filmed a noodle eating scene alone. When
thinking of the effort and care her family has given her, she could not
help but cry again and again. Although after a few takes the director
was satisfied, Lan Lan felt that she was not good enough and asked for
another take. She would not quit until her emotions were completely in
place, after the cameras stopped rolling her face was still covered in
tears. As a mother for many years, Lan Lan was also very suitable for
the role. Coupled with superb acting skills, she further enriched the
role of the mother in the film.
OMG earlier held a special screening on International Women's
Day on March 8th and the response was decent. Many viewers reported
that the film not only talked about family and family affection but
also reflected on self-growth, which was a warm and joyful movie worth
recommending to everyone. Advanced screenings would begin starting
April 18th.

The 60's Shaw Brothers movie star Ku Feng (Kok Fung) passed away
at the age of 94. His friend Susan Shaw Yam Yam confirmed the news of
Kok Fung's death the night before. Tin Kai Man also revealed that he
has heard the rumors of Kok Fung's death two months ago, but he has
not been able to find the nephew who lived with him to confirm. He
was very sad after learning the bad news, and praised Kok Fung was a
good predecessor at first sight. They have worked with each other in
front of and behind the scenes. They used to have dinners often, but
they have had little contact with each other after his immigration.
He learned that the other party was in poor health in recent years.
Nancy Sit Ka Yin also expressed her sadness, lamenting that
there was no party that would not come to an end. They have
collaborated on VIRTUES OF HARMONY. He was amiable, would share a lot
of stories and care about everyone's health. She too received care from
him; John Chiang Dai Wai shared the movie poster of THE NEW ONE-ARMED
SWORDSMAN with Kok Fung on social networks to mourn him; Candy Lo Hau
Yam also shared their "father and daughter" photo from filming TVB's
THE LAST BREAKTHROUGH, praising the elder for getting into his character
in one second. Philip Keung Ho Man at his lowest received Kok Fung's
encouragement to continue to persist. Kok Fung was an elder and
instructor he respected very much and he wished him a safe journey.
Veteran actor Kok Fung two nights ago was rumored to have passed
away at his residence last month. Former Shaw's martial art star Barry
Wai Chi Wan posted a video on TikTok Wednesday (the 9th) and mentioned,
"Uncle Kok passed away!" Mainland media reported that those in the know
revealed that on the 27th last month Kok Fung's relative found him dead
at his residence. He was 94. The cause of death would await
announcement.
