[ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ]
    The world of Kabuki, the elaborately stylised, male Japanese theatrical tradition, is the setting for director Lee Sang-il's epic melodrama of artistic ambition, rivalry and betrayal. It is an adaptation of a bestseller by Shuichi Yoshida, and weaves in stunning stagings of classic Kabuki tales that wowed audiences at Cannes Directors' Fortnight. In 1960s Nagasaki, after the death of his yakuza father, gifted teenager Kikuo is taken under the wing of famed Kabuki actor Hanjiro Hanai, even though the great performer already has a son, Shunsuke, who has dedicated his life to the art. Over fifty years, the relationship of the two disciples entwines and twists, and their hearts suffer as much yearning, glory and downfall as their on- stage alter-egos.

[ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ]
    Director Yoji Yamada, who has long depicted people living in Japan, tells a moving story that celebrates the joys of life in the ever-changing metropolis of Tokyo. This is a remake story of "Driving Madeleine" (2022). Koji Usami works every day as a taxi driver to support his family. He's delighted about his daughter being accepted on recommendation to a high school attached to a college of music, but his meager income makes him increasingly anxious about the accompanying enrollment fee, not to mention vehicle inspection costs, rent, and everything else he has to pay for. One day, Koji fills in for a colleague and drives to Taishakuten in Shibamata to pick up a 85-year-old woman Sumire Takano. Upon successfully finding Sumire in Shibamata, Koji is asked to drive across Tokyo and beyond to Hayama, way out in the neighboring prefecture of Kanagawa. Due to Sumire's advanced age, she finds even the knives to be heavy to hold, and feels unable to take care of herself while living on her own. So she has decided to live out her last years in a nursing home. On the way, Sumire makes Koji take several detours. Sumire gradually opens her heart to Koji, and she begins to tell him about her own tragic past. This coincidental encounter will move their hearts and change their lives.

The "44th Hong Kong Film Awards Presentation" will be held at the Hong Kong Cultural Center on April 19th. The 18 award categories' nominations were announced yesterday, of which SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN received the most nominations with a total of 12, followed by BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) with 11 nominations. Both were nominated for Best Film. Another so-called Hong Kong urban legend film CIAO UFO (JOI GEIN UFO) received 10 nominations.

For this year's "Best Actor", Louis Koo Tin Lok was nominated for BACK TO THE PAST and BEHIND THE SHADOWS (SI GA JING TAM) at the same time and greatly increased his chances of winning, but there is still competition with the superb performance of Best Actor Tony Leung Ka Fai in THE SHADOW'S EDGE (BO FUNG JUI YING), as well as the two dark horses of GOLDEN BOY (GUM TUNG)'s Louis Cheung Kai Chung and SOEMONE LIKE ME (JEUNG NGOR JEH YEUNG DIK OI CHING)'s Carlos Chan Ka Lok. The "Best Actress" focus would be on Ma Li, who is accustomed to acting in comedy, playing the lifelong struggle of DUMPLING QUEEN (SHUI GAU WONG HAU); Zhang Ziyi was nominated for Best Actress again for SHE'S GOT NO NAME after winning the Hong Kong Award in 2013 with THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DI JUNG SI); and Fala Chen was nominated for Best Actress for the first time for PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG), a brilliant performance with her mad interpretation. Fish Liew Chi Yu in SOMEONE LIKE ME as a cerebral palsy patient and Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi) as a muscular dystrophy girl in MY FIRST OF MAY (MO MING JI) are nominated for Best Actress, the new generation of actors are also favorites.

The Hong Kong Film Awards invited last year's Best Actress Michelle Wai Sze Nga and Edan Lui Cheuk On as special guests to announce the nomination list. When Wai Sze Nga announced the nomination for "Best Actor", she was so excited that she shed tears; all because she saw her friend Chan Ka Lok on the nomination list. She said that she has imagined this would happen at home, and kept telling herself to be professional. She was truly sorry but was happy for Chan Ka Lok. Chan Ka Lok said that he was very grateful to be nominated for SOMEONE LIKE ME. "This performance allowed me to meet many peers worth learning from, thank you to the director, Fish and other actors, and the staff in front of and behind the scenes for making this film possible, and also giving me an important experience in acting."

Louis Cheung Kai Chung attended the press conference yesterday. When the event announced that a Best Actor nomination for him, he admitted that he was emotional and really wanted to win. "Just now my acting has already erupted. Originally as soon as I heard I really wanted to scream 'Yes", but I held myself down. I had to use my acting to suppress my emotions and not to embarrass myself. I kept convoluting, I was very touched. Seeing (Ali) Lee Kai Sum, (Locker) Lam Ka Hei being nominated I was very happy too. Of course GOLDEN BOY's nomination was even more meaningful. The most moving was that the entire team has worked very hard. While thanking the audience viewers also gave me a lot of strength. This is particularly meaningful to me. Not that I am expecting to 'sit to keep people company', with the nomination I already have to celebrate." Speaking of the numerous nominees, he said that everyone was strong; especially Koo Tin Lok. "Boss Koo even has two nominations. He isn't just an actor, but a boss as well. He has helped everyone a lot." Speaking of his confidence, Cheung Kai Chung admitted that he really wanted to win. "This time I want to. I have received private messages from Academy of Performing Arts juniors, saying that they really want to see me win. If it would truly happen it could serve as encouragement for people who have endured for a long time but are constantly overlooked like me, and make them feel that their own lives are very exciting. If I win it would have a little encouragement effect."

Koo Tin Lok said about learning about his "double nominations". "I am very happy! Very joyful! Double the happiness double the joy!" Tony Leung Ka Fai was nominated for Best Actor for THE SHADOW'S EDGE (BO FUNG JOOK YING). He was happiest to learn that friends he knew were on the nomination list, including the actors in SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT and THE SHADOW'S EGE. As an actor, to be able to have a film that is nominated and receive everyone's recognition is something to be happy about. BACK TO THE PAST's Raymond Lam Fung and MY FIRST OF MAY's Aaron Kwok Fu Sing were not nominated for Best Actor, which surprised many online.

Fala Chen said, "Returning to Hong Kong to make a Hong Kong film after 10 years, I am very moved to be nominated. I am very grateful to my colleagues and audiences in Hong Kong for not forgetting me, and I am also very grateful to director Cheung Ka Fai and producer (Claudie) Chung Chun for giving me this opportunity. Thank you to the whole team for making my role so three-dimensional and rich." Liew Chi Yu was on a plane during the announcement, upon landing she received a sea of congratulations and was emotional. "The text messages flooded in, now I am very excited and grateful. I am stuttering!" She got more emotional as she spoke. She even got choked up. "16 years in the business, during which I have fantasized about being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor. I never would have guessed that today it really happened. I am grateful to have run into this character. I feel I have been very lucky the past few years, grateful to have run into the good, the bad and the setbacks that have become important material I design characters with. I feel like I have already won. I am in Malaysia right now, tonight I can have dinner with my parents!"

In addition, Kara Hui (Wai Ying Hung) was nominated for "Best Supporting Actress" for DUMPLING QUEEN (SHUI GAU WONG HAU). "I'm so happy, so excited! Because being nominated for the Hong Kong Awards again is the greatest honor for an actor, I hope to do my best. I feel that the nomination is already an honor, thank you everyone."

Joyce Tang Lai Ming with BACK TO THE PAST got her Best Supporting Actress ticket and would compete with the likes of SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT's Nina Paw Hee Ching, which surprised her very much. "I am very happy. First I want to thank Mr. Koo (Koo Tin Lok), if not this movie of his, I would be able to reach the big screen. This year would be my 30th year at TVB, it's a very special year. (Other nominees are great actors too.) I would give anything a try, thank you everyone."

Alex To Tak Wai was nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" for SONS OF THE NEON NIGHTS, and he regarded it as a great birthday gift on his birthday yesterday. The appreciation for his performance in the film was also a great encouragement in his career. "I never would have guessed that at this stage in life I could still have a first time. I never even thought about it. I am so excited, it's a great birthday present, and a great encourage in my career." Nominated with CIAO UFO (JOI GEIN UFO), Wong Yau Nam was excited and took the opportunity to call for everyone to support the movie at the theaters more. FIGHT FOR TOMORROW (PING MING SAM LONG)'s Locker Lam Ka Hei said, "The recognition of this nomination would make me believe in this thing called hard work."

Ben Yuen Fu Wah with the role of "Uncle Tong Shui" in DUMPLING QUEEN has already won the Golden Rooster Awards Best Supporting Actor. This time he has been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards as well, naturally his chances have been elevated. He said, "Thank you voters and viewers for liking this character of mine. I have to thank even more my manager who has been fighting with me for 10 years. We have reached today together, which hasn't been easy at all. I hope to perform in more good films and characters in the future."

Peter Chan Charm Man thanked his colleagues for their encouragement after learning that he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor with CIAO UFO. "Once again I am reminded that no matter how difficult the environment is, I can always continue on the journey."

Television Best Actress Ali Lee Kai Sum was nominated with GOLDEN BOY for Best New Performer. She said that she has never thought about being nominated. "At the time I was working on dramas at the previous company until dark, one of the days was scheduled to make GOLDEN BOY. In the film I only appeared in Cheung Kai Chung's memory, with very little screen time. I couldn't warm up or watching the before or after footage to decide how to perform at all. We shot as soon as I arrived. Being nominated is quite a surprise."

Edan Lui Cheuk On yesterday was the Hong Kong Film Awards press conference guest and announced the nominations. Although he said that he was super nervous, his performance was decent. Even Thai could not stump him. Although someone on hand said he sounded like he was speaking Japanese, he won with his calmness and received a lot of applause. He said that it was a great challenge and that Wai Sze Nga asked her Thai friend for help.

Edan said that for this event, he did a lot of preparation before hand. "I spent a lot of time on practice. Because it has names of people from many different places, I recited for a long time earlier. Since I didn't have the nomination lists yet, I had to recite them all. The staff was great and gave me pinyin, but during the announcement, the names didn't have pinyin. So I had to improvise some of them. If I misread any I am sorry." He hoped that his MIRROR teammate Stanley Yau Si Chun would be nominated for Best Supporting Actor, unfortunately he did not get his wish.

Best Actress Shu Qi's directing debut GIRL was based on a true story. Last year she participated in the Venice and Busan International Film Festival, then received a decent response at the Golden Horse Awards in Tawian. Yesterday when the Hong Kong Film Awards nominations were announced, Shu Qi "hit a triple", including "Best New Director", "Best Director" and "Best Screenplay". She posted her excitement on social platform. "Grateful, thank you and I am touched. Thank you Hong Kong classmates."

Best Actor Nick Cheung Ka Fai in his directed and starred film even sang its theme song I CAN NEVER FALL ASLEEP. Earlier when he attended the Milan Fashion Week he revealed that someone reminded him if he was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Original Film Song, he would have to sing at the ceremony. He joked that he felt awkward just thinking about that. With the nominations announced yesterday, Ka Fai successfully changed lanes and was nominated for Best Original Film Song and immediately became a hot topic online.

In addition, last month the Hong Kong Film Awards were revealed to have disqualified 4 films that were eligible for nominations, MOTHER BHUMI, VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH (BUT SEH JI JUI), FINCH AND MIDLAND (GUM TIN YING GOI HUNG GO HING) and VITAL SIGNS (SUNG YUEN TOH JUNG). The association has never responded. Yesterday the board of directors chair Derek Yee Tung Sing said that the Association has increased its membership to 17, with 2064 eligible voting industry insiders. Yet the first round's effective vote count was only 989 ballots, around 47.95%, a 17% decrease from 64.84% last year. He called for everyone's enthusiastic participation in the second round voting.

Was the voting efficiency decline this year related to 4 films' disqualifications? Yee Tung Sing said, "Really? You have to ask the person who spread the rumor about the rumor." He said that basically movies that have been released in Hong Kong would be eligible. "In the past month, I have been thinking about how to respond but I couldn't think of a way that would please everyone. So I decided not to publicly respond." Then he quoted Diamond Sutra, "If one sees all phenomena as non-phenomena, one sees the Tathagata." Such a mysterious answer of course might not be accepted to the outside.

Yee Tung Sing said that before this year's nominations were unveiled, he kept inspecting film release information and found that since some films were made several years ago, or were not released so they had no information. Data collection became very difficult. This year so far has had very few film production starts, so several years ago he has already begun to consider if not reaching the bottom line quantity of 30 films, the Hong Kong Film Awards might change operation format. "The award show requires 8 figures, if the quantity is too low the event might scale down. This year 47 films were eligible, less than last year. I have also mentioned making the event biannual, before reaching this stage we would do our best to keep it going." He admitted that finding sponsorships have been difficult, and the government assistance has not arrived. "I don't know how much it would be yet. I am not speaking for the government, but I believe it doesn't have enough personnel to handle it. I have heard other units have had delays as well. Actually every year we have applied for no more than HK$ 10 million, I don't know how much would be cut. We have reached HK$ 6 million, and we have reached HK$ 80 million before. It's always up and down."

Yee Tung Sing admitted that the Hong Kong Film Awards has been operating in the red, and the commercial market still has not fully recovered. "I feel keep asking the government for money isn't too good, unfortunately our market hasn't been good. If the market is good finding sponsorship actually wouldn't be hard. I feel we should be self reliant. I don't want to beg people for money every year. I have considered making the event fully commercial, but some colleagues have said that we have become more and more avaricious."

The premiere of the Lunar New Year movie NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) was held the night before. with Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, etc. attending, hundreds of people filled and surrounded the mall. Sammi revealed that her eczema broke out, as she worked tirelessly to thank the audience. She suggested that if the movie would be a big box office hit Tze Wah should distribute benefits at night spots for NIGHT KING. Tze Wah said that he would not resist and joked that he would be willing to wear a security uniform to protect the ladies.

Cheng Sau Man and Tze Wah were cheered by the audience as soon as they appeared. Tze Wah wished everyone well in everything they did in the Year of the Horse, and the most important thing was "so. very. happy." He also hoped that all the Lunar New Year films would be big hits. Sammi sang STAR SHOW LEGEND again for the theme song of the movie, and she even sang it live at the premiere, with Dee Ho Kai Wah and Alan Yeung Wai Lun joining the rap part and bringing the night to a climax.

Wong Tze Wah revealed in an interview that he has already attended 6 audience appreciation shows that day. The most exciting thing was to watch the official release of NIGHT KING for the first time, he joked that he heard it was "very entertaining". Sammi also has not stopped participating in the film promotions but did not dare to say she was tired. Even if she had to fly to Malaysia early yesterday to promote, she still wanted to watch the premiere. She said that she would try her best to help with the promotion, and she really has been left out of breath in the past few days. Thus she must take a holiday to rest starting the Lunar 29th. "I have a big eczema outbreak, fortunately my face is fine; but they all see me scratching all over my body, all because of pressure. However even if I am tired, I am happy." Sammi has finished working on films and is about to return to the world of singing, with even bigger jobs in music this year. Would she ask Tze Wah to be a guest again at her concert? Tze Wah laughed and said that she should not just ask him, but ask everyone in NIGHT KING to be guests since she has saved up a handful of favors from making the movie.

Sammi used to go to the night club to promote. She laughed and said that the feeling was like going to the disco in the 90s of the last century, and even revealed that she has gone to the disco already in secondary school. "I had a lot of fun, this time the movie used my song too. I feel that time is infinite; I feel like I am renewing the song and people don't mind it, so I am so happy. It's a little unexpected benefit." After this time she was also interested in covering even more songs, so she has many ideas for the concert and would be many ways to play with fast songs. When asked if the movie would be a big box office hit, would Tze Wah surprise the audience and sing again? He said comically, "Let me learn STAR SHOW LEGEND a little first, I think I can rap a few lines on behalf of Alan, but I can't do it on behalf of Dee. In comparison I can count the beats relatively well." Sammi immediately suggested that Tze Wah should perform at night spots for NIGHT KING, Tze Wah did not resist but said that he would consider arranging a lot of security guards to protect the group of actresses, or let their group of actors protect them; even if they would have to wear security uniforms they would not mind.

Sammi was invited to dance and shoot a video with people in wheelchairs. She admitted that she felt it deeply because her father also had to use a wheelchair before his death, so she felt that it was very meaningful and touching. "Although the dancer is a disabled person, I was very moved by his spirit of not giving up. He couldn't move his legs, but that spirit was what was perfect; so I was very happy to participate."

ERROR member Dee Ho Kai Wah (Ah Dee) dragged 11 actresses on the premiere stage to take a group photo with him alone. He joked that his whole body was stiff from Sumling Li and Yeung Sze Wing holding onto his arms, and he laughed at himself that he might be so lucky because he has been doing a lot of charity work and a vegetarian. "During the photo op I didn't dare to movie at all, I was completely stiff."

ERROR teammate Denis Kwok Ka Chun (193) on his ViuTV talk show revealed that a good friend with the last name Ho got a little drunk at a karaoke box in Taiwan and fought to pay the bill with a heiress with the last name Ho. He even challenged her if she was looking down on the poor and asked her if she had a ride, he could drop her off. 193 did not name names, but his co-star Matthew Chow Hoi Kwong said, "Dee! Talking about stuff like this." Ho Kai Wah yesterday denied that they were talking about him and said that many people have asked him over text messages. "The last name Ho doesn't mean it's me, why did they make it sound like it's me? I thought that was very odd! It truly does resemble something that would happen to me, because I have a life of comedy." Yeung Sze Wing joked, "Resembles your BS."

Did Ho Kai Wah "black out" after drinking and forget about this? He continued to deny it. "When 193 speaks there is a Mandela Effect. I would examine why everyone would think of me. I hope that Ho man would take a look at himself and not to drink too much. Maybe what he meant was different, but as the rumor spread, it would feel a little disrespectful."

Did he have a habit for fighting to pay the bill? Ho Kai Wah admitted that he liked to cover the bill of the staff to thank them for their hard work. "When I made NIGHT KING I often treated; but when I run into people with more money than me, of course I would let them pay. I disagree with the Ho Man's behavior." Yeung Sze Wing praised Ho Kai Wah for being generous, often treating ham and egg sandwiches, macaroni with ham; but when asked to treat lobsters or oysters he would say they were out of his budget. Did he feel 193 should reveal the identity of the Ho Man to clear his name? Ho Kai Wah said, "Don't make it worse, just let the matter fade. In life to be able to cover the tab means you are capable, you should contribute. (Did 193 talk too much?) It's normal, his program is called MANSPLAINING: PATCHED. He is living up to the program's spirit."

Yeung Sze Wing has two film releases in a row. Would she ask her boyfriend Owen Cheung Chun Long to buy tickets in support? She smiled and said that she asked all her friends to watch the movie at theaters.

Tse Kwan Ho played the role of a big high roller who chartered the club in the film. During filming he was surrounded by a large group of escort ladies and could not be happier. He revealed that at the peaks of night clubs in the 1980s, he was a poor boy who just graduated but did not have uncles or brothers to take him to nightclubs. This time he went to the night club for research, which was eye-opening. He even shared his experience with his wife. Since she knew what happened, she was not upset. In the film he only had eyes for Fish, but the most intimate they got was "dance the old dance" together. Before filming he had to go to class to learn ballroom dancing.

Fish and Wong Dan Nei played "Mamasans", and they also went to nightclubs for research first. Wong Dan Nei laughed and said that she heard a lot of interesting things and the difficulties of being a female escort, and learned how to control the scene and prevent drunkenness to protect herself. Fish pointed out that a 70-year-old current "Mamasan", who looked younger than her actual age, shared 50 years of workplace experience; and the content was beyond imagination because it included secret stories about celebrities. "But we must have a professional ethic, and we can't talk about it after listening."

Speaking of the kiss scene with Wong Tze Wah in the film, Fish became nervous and joked that her mind was blank; she would have to go to the theater to relive it. She said that when she received the script, she only knew that she was a "Mamasan". When she went to the company to read the script, she screamed when she came to a certain scene; only then did she find out about this scene. "As a result other actors laughed at me and asked if I gave money to the boss and the director, or even invested in the movie."

Edan Lui Cheuk On, Chung Suet Ying, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Jiro Lee Sheung Ching, Harriet Yeung Sze Man and others went to Sha Tin the night before to attend the premiere of the Lunar New Year film THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO), which would open on Friday (the 13th). A large number of fans came to support the event, and the "Son of Mark Six" Frankie Choi Kwok Wai host a live drawing ceremony. The atmosphere was lively. Director and screen writer Philip Yung Tsz Kwong said that he has never won the "Chinese New Year Snowball" and hoped to dedicate the new film to Grandma and wished everyone a Happy New Year. He also revealed that he deliberately invited his parents to watch the premiere. "Papa (Yung Cheuk Man) is the executive producer of THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY."

Making a Lunar New Year film for the first time, Kam Yin Ling said that THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY had tears within laughter. The movie would be very moving and she guaranteed that it would definitely be entertaining. She admitted that she was very afraid of watching her own performance, and has brought tissues to watch the movies with; later she would charter a show to invite her close friend Suzie Wong and family and friend to enjoy the film. Chung Suet Ying said that she would invite friends to watch the film together. Edan said that he knew that fans have been chartering shows, so he had confidence in the box office of the movie. Later he would work the intensive audience appreciation schedule. Would he preserve some personal time to celebrate Valentine's Day? Edan said, "No need! (Have you invited your rumored girlfriend Lin Minchen to watch it?) No, she's busy too. Let's not talk about this today, I'll give tickets for everyone to watch." Wearing a blazer and showed off "Victory V", Edan laughed and said that he saw more at the theaters. Would he show even more with good box office results? He said that it would depend on the box office. He even dragged in Lee Sheung Ching. "Ah Ching is a member of the Lam family, the main driver of the film's story. If he is willing, I would follow!"

Speaking of the decent momentum of another Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG), Kam Ying Ling said that there is no pressure and believed that a full bloom would be the best. "Everyone is a peer, and we all hope that every film will have good results. We don't carry any competitive stance. (Dayo) Wong Tze Wah is a good friend, we will all go and support their movies. We should support each other so the film market would be in full bloom. " Edan also agreed, hoping that the audience would find the movie entertaining and recommend it to their friends. In addition the Edan sung ending theme song TEN THOUSAND FORTUNE had lyrics by Chung Suet Ying and Lee Sheung Ching, a team that was very innovative. "Our creation is deeply emotional, without any funny elements." Edan at first thought that the song would be happy, but the director believed that the warm route was more suitable for the movie. "This collaboration has been pretty interesting. Even the song was produced with this cast. I hope everyone would like it. With a good box office showing, I would sing it for everyone during audience appreciation events." Kam Yin Ling said, "Great, I want to see Edan show his muscles and sing." Regarding some online using AI to create THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY cartoon but replacing Lui Cheuk On in the promotional photo with Louis Koo Tin Lok, Edan laughed and said that Mr. Koo was an important soul character of their family in the film, so there was absolutely no problem. "I haven't officially joined the Lam family anyway."

Lee Sheung Ching and Aiyana Lo Chung Yan (Mui Tau) are both artists of Cable's HOY TV. Speaking of the recent personnel changes in the senior management of i-CABLE, the two pointed out that they still have a "dead contract" with the company for more than a year and they knew that job wise they will be a new direction, but the jobs scheduled has not been affected for the time being. The program they host, THE UNDERCOVER TOUR, would have a new season. "I would consider participating in other programs and dramas. I would bring up any plea during the meeting. I hope for a raise." Lee Sheung Ching laughed and said that he wanted to ask the company to add new blood to "UNDERCOVER", but Mui Tau hoped to keep working with Lee Sheung Ching due to the good word of mouth. "Without Ah Ching I don't want to do it. My request is very simple. I too hope for raise." She said that she did not dare for one. She only wanted a moderate workload. Would she want the company to start filming more shows for her to working with handsome guys? She pointed out that Lee Sheung Ching alone would be enough. Yeung Sze Man offered herself for the new season, both Lee Sheung Ching and Lo Chung Yan expressed their welcome to her.

Speaking of Edan's claim that for a box office performance he would consider showing the "Victory V" (mankini), Ah Ching also agreed that there is no problem with showing the V. "If the box office would reach HK$ 300 million, I will appear in Borat's swimsuit. Beauty comes first, I am healthy sexy."

Also on hand, Neo Yau Hawk Sau responded to the ViuTV ban rumor. When he attended Tyson Yoshi's new song CHASING THE WIND micro movie premiere, ViuTV did not interview its star Yau Hawk Sau. He was even removed from the footage. ViuTV's social platform only tagged other actors. Afterward Yau Hawk Sau took jabs at ViuTV through different means on social network. When he guest host a JFFT YouTube channel program he revealed that a television station elder too the initiative to show concern, as the stance softened to a "cease fire". Yau Hawk Sau attended the premiere as a guest. ViuTV sent personnel to cover the event and Yau Hawk Sau held the ViuTV logo microphone for an interview. He described the matter as trivial and said that he originally planned to bring the doll of ViuTV mascot "Sound Hey" with him. However his manager confiscated it. "A guy group member gave it to me, I won't name name...the guy group with 'single digit number' member. (Was he the vacationing 193?) I don't know, I am not at liberty to reveal that. I hope he would be able to get over it. (What about you?) I hope I have already gotten over it, haha!" Has a television station elder mediated to settle the matter? Yau Hawk Sau said, "We were never arguing in the first place. Some people misunderstood me for scolding people, which I never did. I am very nice, but the audience discovered this matter and felt upset for me. Then an elder communicated with and understood me. I too hope everyone can be happy. Since the misunderstanding was over I just let it go. Actually I don't know what happened. I hope I didn't insult anyone. Now I would be careful with what I say or do." Yau Hawk Sau said that he chose to believe that last time too many people were at the event so ViuTV missed him. He was very happy that this time he again because the target of ViuTV's coverage. Boss Koo Tin Lok has not contacted him over the matter.

Yau Hawk Sau earlier complained online that ViuTV artists were difficult to invite to collaborate. He explained that he was only commenting on Ng Siu Hin's post "in search of opportunity", because his company colleagues Locker Lam Ka Hei and Tony Wu Tsz Tung appeared on ViuTV program and made him realize that he has not appeared on this station for a very long time. "While at TRIAL AND ERROR I couldn't land ViuTV artists for many reasons. Anyway I am looking for opportunities. In this business exposure is the most important." He revealed that recently he received HOY TV's invitation and he looked forward to collaborating very much. He would like to work on a travel program the most.

[2026.02.08] ONG BAK STAR TONY JAA UNDERGOES MORE CANCER TREATMENT

Thai action superstar Tony Jaa turned 50 last week. He became popular in early 2000 with the Thai blockbuster action movie ONG BAK, but in recent years he has rarely appeared on the screen. Recently the local media shockingly revealed that he had gallbladder cancer and was nearing the end stage, which worried many fans.

According to his friends, the 50-year-old Tony suddenly felt severe abdominal pain in 2024. After going to the hospital for examination, he was found to have stage 3 gallbladder cancer. His condition was extremely unoptimistic, and he was on the verge of the end stage (stage 4). After learning of the disease, Tony underwent surgery to remove the tumor and started chemotherapy. Originally his cancer index stabilized at the end of last year, and he also became a monk for a short time because he was "reborn". However good times did not last, during the follow-up visit he found that the index rose again and the cancer recurred.

Tony released a recent photo on social platforms a week ago, showing that his body was obviously thin and his face was haggard. He left a message saying, "The journey is about to begin, another round." Therefore, it is suspected that the cancer has recurred and he will need to undergo chemotherapy again. Since people did not know at the time that Tony had cancer at the time, they speculated whether his appearance has changed drastically due to drug use or AIDS. His family and friends decided to disclose his condition to fight back against the false rumors. Friends said that the shape of his body changed because of intensive chemotherapy. Although he has been busy with the fight against cancer, he remained optimistic as usual. On New Year's Eve last year he even performed at a countdown event in Khon Kaen province, after which he posted on social media, "Happy New Year! I wish the New Year would bring new hope and even more opportunities, so we can reap all of the blessing." According to those with knowledge, Tony Jaa is currently in stable condition. Everyday he has insisted on training and his physical condition has gradually improved. He still required medical science observation and his family's attentive care. As for other details, Tony Jaa and his family would respond at a later date but he thanks his fans for their support.

Tony Jaa last week again appeared on social media and posted new photos. He was dressed in black, a cap and sunglasses, so fans had difficulty seeing his condition. Many had different interpretation of his post "The journey is about to begin." Some were worried about his condition, and some optimistically wished him well. Some even thought that his new film would start production soon and were looking forward to it.

Tony has been in the industry for years and rose to fame for personally performing many highly difficult stunts. After his ONG BAK and TOM YUM GOONG film series swept the global box office, he was invited by Hollywood studios to perform in action movies. Over the years he has taken on many action movies, including FAST AND FURIOUS 7, XXX: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE and THE EXPENDABLES 4, etc. Among them, in XXX he traded blows with the "Strongest in the Universe" Donnie Yen Chi Tan. In addition he has also come to Hong Kong to shoot Hong Kong films many times, including the lead in SPL 2 with Wu Jing and Louis Koo Tin Lok and MASTER Z: IP MAN LEGACY, in which he and Max Zhang Jin had fierce fight scenes. His recent work included the internet movie STRIKING RESCUE in 2024 with Philip Keung Ho Man and Shi Yanneng.

The Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) held its world premiere in Macau the night before, Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip and director Jack Ng Wai Lun dressed up to attend. Everyone was happy to be able to shoot in the new hotel and casino hall. Tze Wah, witnessed by more than 100 guests, joked that it was like turning the card over while playing "baccarat". He invited all the guests to scream "big", which meant that the movie would be a big box office hit and also made him full of confidence.

Tze Wah revealed that he would go to Mong Kok on the Lunar 29th to thank the audience. He was glad to get close to the audience, and spend the New Year happily with everyone. "Now making a movie isn't easy. Arranging for a release at this time, everyone are happy together." Sammi said that she could not go because she would have Lunar New Year dinner with her mother, and joked that she could not leave her 80 something Mama behind. Tze Wah said that he would not dare to disturb Sammi, because she has already contributed to the movie's music video and gone to the night spot. The actors would be divided into teams to promote everywhere. Sammi and Liew Chi Yu would attend the Malaysian premiere later. Speaking of the Hong Kong premiere, Tze Wah revealed that a friend took the initiative and asked to see it, and he also planned to charter a theater to invite relatives and friends to watch. Sammi said that the fan club has prepared a private screening, and she was the happiest about meeting a lot of new friends this time. She said that she and Tze Wah used to be just friends who would say hello, but after this collaboration they really got to know each other. She has not made a Lunar New Year film in the years. The film turned into a Lunar New Year release during the production and felt like a dream.

Sammi has been promoting NIGHT KING so hard that her voice was hoarse, she was exhausted and had eczema attack. She pointed out that Wong Tze Wah and the director had a tremendous sense of duty, aside from making good Hong Kong films they also gave new comers opportunities. She believed that the audience would see the infinite possibilities of new actors with their potential. Wong Tze Wah agreed that many actor performed outstandingly in the film, after watching the movie the audience would definitely remember their names. When asked if he had confident in the box office, Tze Wah laughed and said that he has not had a lot of pressure. Instead he was worried that he would be shy. He also believed that everyone would have a good time watching it. Tze Wah as an actor with an over 100 million box office said that he has asked why when the previous movies A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG) and THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) became big hits. He thought it was very dreamy and beyond his cognition. Sammi joked that her box office record of only 30 million at most, because of the low starting point she had no pressure. However she also wanted to try the taste of more than 100 million at the box office. This time and Wong Tze Wah would happily face the result together.

Regarding BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) still in release and another Lunar New Year film THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO) also has the performance of the great actor Michael Hui Koon Man and Louis Koo Tin Lok, would they support each other? Tze Wah said that he would definitely support THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY. He encouraged the audience to watch movies like crazy. Sammi has sent a message to congratulate Louis Koo Tin Lok, praising his hard work and said that she did not know that Koo Tin Lok won the Best Actor Award from the Hong Kong Film Critics Society. However she has planned to invite him to dinner in the New Year. She would also invited Wong Tze Wah then and taste the wine together. She also particularly admired the director of SNOWBALL, Philip Yung Tsz Kwong, praising that the movie he directed, PAPA, as very well made. She would like to offer her services to him and looked forward to having the opportunity to collaborate in the future. A full bloom for the film industry would be what she wished to see. Wong Tze Wah joked that he very rarely took the initiative to meet with Hui Koon Man, usually Hui Koon Man would be the one who would invite him to attend his family gatherings. "When he and I were working on the script for THE MAGIC TOUCH (SUN SUEN) I was already 'in the house'. Aside from his master bedroom's bathroom, I have been to all of the bathrooms in his home."

In addition, Sammi's earlier concert guest Nancy Wu Ting Yan announced her departure from the nest and expressed her intention to develop in music. Sammi said, "We can collaborate if we have the chance. Last time I invited her to sing together, everyone responded and liked it. We are compatible and have stuff to talk about. I wish her a brave journey in the new world." Sammi believed that Ting Yan's decision to leave the old company must be due to her confidence and curiosity, wanting to see the outside world. She thought that people would always have different experiences, whether they stay in the old company or go out, they would definitely encounter different things. "However I am not qualified to teach her how to be a wife."

Liew Chi Yu would return to her hometown of Malaysia next week to promote and reunite with her father, who returned home early from Indonesia for the New Year reunion. She revealed that her relatives and friends have asked for tickets one after another, and laughed that she no longer had enough tickets. This time she mainly invited Mama, sister and brother-in-law, as well as some old classmates to see it. Her boyfriend Siuyea Lo Chun Yip stayed in Hong Kong, and the two of them would promote separately on Valentine's Day. When asked how she celebrated winning the Best Actress Award from the Hong Kong Film Critics Society, she laughed and said that she celebrated with her favorite rice noodles and snacks.

Participating in the promotion of the movie for the first time, Tse Kwan Ho said that he has been busy doing stage tours before. He would also go to the mainland to work around Valentine's Day, so he believed his wife would not mind. Liew Chi Yu was happy to have a relationship with Tse Kwan Ho in the film, and admitted that the opportunity was rare. He joked, "I think I must have done a lot of good things in my previous life, maybe I donated a big temple. This story tells everyone to do more good deeds." Tse Kwan Ho said that he has had many collaborations with Liew Chiu and have set up new sparks in all of them. Liew Chi Yu hoped to collaborate with Tse Kwan Ho again, and looked forward to acting more intensely next time -- exceeding her intimate scene with Carlos Chan Ka Lok in SOMEONE LIKE ME (JEUNG NGOR JEH YEUNG DIK OI CHING) to an unimaginable level for everyone.

Wong Dan Nei played the role of "mamasan" in the film. Did she secretly add more padding to make her figure appear fuller? She shouted awkwardly, "I didn't! The clothes are indeed very tight-fitting, so everyone only had steamed chicken breast and vegetables." Speaking of the unforgettable experience during filming, she said with a smile, "The casino scene is pretty unforgettable, because it is the first time in my life that I can enter the VIP hall to gamble. I even had to "shove" tens of millions per wager like that, I was so happy!"

Edan Lui Cheuk On attended a limited edition perfume promotion event the day before yesterday. He said that he also gave perfume to friends, but few to the opposite sex; only his sister. His Lunar New Year comedy THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO) has not yet been released, but Edan has won HK$ 80 in the lottery prize and even his fans have won. He said with a smile, "Actually I bought 20 tickets. As far as I know, the fan didn't win a lot either. Of course I hope everyone wins." He admitted that he rarely bought Mark Six tickets in the past. He only paid more attention to it after promoting SNOWBALL. He even humorously said that if he really won the "Chinese New Year Snowball", he would invest in the film's director Philip Yung Tsz Kwong's film productions.

Regarding MIRROR teammate Stanley Yau Si Chun announcing his engagement to his girlfriend Alina Lee Yan Yi, Edan congratulated him repeatedly, "Blessings, congratulations!" He also joked that Stanley has told him as early as the first season of "KING MAKER" (2018), and he has been keeping it a secret until now. He can finally tell it; he also said that although he has never served as a "groomsman", he would be happy to give his first time to his brothers if Stanley would invite him. When would it be his turn to have good news? He jokingly borrowed the married Kitty Yuen Siu Yee to be his shield. "Siu Yee and I just finished the divorce, I am not ready to accept any new romance. I will worry about that later."

Edan and Anson Lo Hon Ting will hold the "MUSIC UNBOUNDED LIVE MACAU" concert in Macau on April 4, which some fans describe as a belated "Dan Son" combination. As for some fans' expressing their displeasure and even threatening to boycott show, Edan said that the client invited him to perform and he was happy to have the opportunity to share the stage with Anson Lo. He said with a smile, "It's better late than never, the future is unpredictable so we must cherish and grasp the moment."

Speaking of the company's new guy group ZPOT being called "MIRROR 2.0" and may dilute resources, Edan believed that was "absolutely not true", emphasizing the difference in the number of people and ages of the two groups, and praising the members of ZPOT for their diligence and seriousness. Edan believed that the new group will inevitably have different noises, but it is better to have noise than nothing. He believed that resources will not be diluted, but instead hoped to grow the company together and work together.

[2026.02.07] BEST ACTOR AND ACTRESS PAIRING NICK CHEUNG AND CHUNG SUET YING GO ON FATHER DAUGHTER TRIP

The audience greatly looks forward to the collaboration between two good actors Nick Cheung and Chung Suet Ying

The Best Actor Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Golden Horse Awards Best Actress Chung Suet Ying collaborated for the first time on the new film GOOD TRIP (NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG), which started production secretly last year, shot on location in Macau but has not yet been officially announced. The film's director Norris Wong Yee Lam shared the movie pilot poster on social networks the day before yesterday, saying that she and her old partner Wong Hoi have directed the film that now has entered the post-production stage.

Vinnci Cheuk Wan Chi has adapted her relationship with her 96-year-old grandmother in 38.83, which has qualified for the "In Development Project Film Scheme (IDP)" of the "24th Hong Kong-Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF24)", and participated in the "30th Hong Kong International Film and Television Festival" organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council to seek financing opportunities. Cheuk Wan Chi admitted that she has suffered a lot of setbacks in finding investors in the adverse market, and hoped to raise enough money to start filming before her grandma's 100th birthday to pay tribute to her. The film she directed, VITAL SIGNS (SUNG YUEN TOH JUNG), did not qualify for the 44th Hong Kong Film Awards. Cheuk Wan Chi admitted that she has known about this matter long ago. As a director she was the most concerned about the team's feelings and the filming process, more than winning awards and walking the red carpet.

Cheuk Wan Chi said that "38.83" was adapted from the real story of her and grandma's intergenerational family affection. A touching and humorous subject, it recently won the Hong Kong Film Development Fund's "HK-Asian Film Collaboration Funding Scheme" and received HK$ 9 million. Yet there was still some distance from the total production budget, so she had to work hard to find investors. "This film would be a collaboration between Hong Kong and Japan, part of it has to be filmed in Japan. There is a Japanese person in the story. If I can find more funding, the production can be better and the Japanese actor can have a little more star power."

Cheuk Wan Chi described Grandpa as not the usual senior. With a wild and carefree personality, she did not swear the small stuff. Sometimes she would be naughtier than young people. Once at a night she opened a bottle of XO and polished it off herself. She thought this character was very interesting and inspired the subject of the movie. She also wanted to bring out the problems of the elderly in different countries and how the elderly can integrate with society through a grandmother and grandson relationship. As a director and a screenwriter, Cheuk Wan Chi found it difficult to be on screen as well and revealed that she was casting. "I don't need actors to imitate me, the most important thing is to find two actors with chemistry and spark to interpret the relationship between me and Grandma. When Grandma found out she was going to be the character of my story, she laughed and said, 'I don't have much to write about!' When the cast would be set, I would let Grandma know. This film is a tribute to Grandma, who is 96 years old this year. I hope to give it to her as a small gift before she is 100 years old."

Cheung Wan Chi admitted starting a film production in an adverse market was greatly challenging, early in the film project development she has already suffered setbacks. "I spent a year to write the script. The original investor decided not to invest, which hit me hard. After collecting myself again, I wanted to translate the script into a foreign language and discovered that AI did not help at all. I put up some money for the translation before looking for Japanese producers to work with. Later I received 9 million in sponsorship to start the production, which was very fortunate." Before the movie was released, many uncertainties still remained so she had to try as she went, "When the movie is made, what era and what world is it facing? I really don't know, it's very hard to say, what will happen if the audience keeps watching movies on their mobile phones two years later? Some companies have split a movie into 96 TikTok shorts this year and launched them. So I will try to look at my new work from many different angles, not just to satisfy myself but to adapt to the situation and find a team with similar visions and visions to collaborate. Filmmaking in this era also has its advantages. Everyone will not only look at the money, feelings are still important to people who make art."

The Cheuk Wan Chi directed, Louis Koo Tin Lok and Neo Yau Hawk Sau starred VITAL SIGNS (SUNG YUEN TOH JUNG) did not qualify for the 44th Hong Kong Film Awards. She said that she knew about this long ago but had no comment. As a director she cared most about the feelings of the team, hoping that everyone would let go of anything unpleasant as soon as possible, only remember the passion and happiness during filming. Her enthusiasm for filming remained unchanged, "I found that I like filmmaking more than I imagined, I care more about the filming process, more than winning awards and walking on the red carpet."
