The Hong Kong film market is sluggish, and many film companies are tightening their belts. Even if they encounter a good script, they will not make any move for the time being. There are very few films that have been filmed in the first half of this year. In order to find funds, many filmmakers had to write proposals to apply for funding from the Hong Kong Film Development Council. Among them the film about Hong Kong's first group of medical students' struggles, THE BUTTERFLY BONE (SUP GOR HOK YI DIK SIU NIN) would receive a funding of HK$ 10 million. Producer and director Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting called in favors and asked Simon Yam Tat Wah and Cecilia Yip Tung to hold down the fort. A month ago the production has begun in a low key manner.

As for the Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun, Renci Yeung Sze Wing and Kevin Chu Kam Yin starred new film WAKESURF LOVERS (LONG FA NAM NUI), it would receive HK$ 5.2 million allocation. Reportedly the film has already completed production. Earlier injured while shooting at sea, Ngai Chun Sun has recovered after resting and recently shared handsome photos on social platforms to comfort fans.
