The premiere of the Emperor Motion Picture ULTIMATE REVENGE (CHUNG FUNG: FOR PING) was held the night before, and the boss Albert Yeung Sau Sing led actors Ray Lui Leung Wai (Brother Lui), Alex Fong Chung Shun, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Power Chan Kwok Bong, etc. to attend. Chan Ka Lok and Cheung Kai Chung have benefited a lot from working with their two seniors, Fong Chung Shun and Brother Lui, and Ka Lok has learned from Fong Chung Shun how to "shoot without blinking"; Cheung Kai Chung said that Brother Lui was not only his acting idol, but even his father wanted to learn from Brother Lui.

Chan Ka Lok said that he would like to thank Fong Chung Shun. The movie was able to start filming because of him, which gave them multiple opportunities to shoot such a "solid", shot with real guns and without Computer Generated special effects movie. Fong Chung Shun called Chan Ka Lok "Brother Lok" instead, saying that he was very sharp. He was nominated for "Best Actor" at the Hong Kong Film Awards for SOMEONE LIKE ME (JEUNG NGOR JEH YEUNG DIK OI CHING). The film was also able to start filming because of him, so even more people would go to the cinemas to support it. Chan Ka Lok only awkwardly smiled and completely powerless to retaliate.

Ka Lok admitted that after over a decade in the business, ULTIMATE REVENGE was indeed a very new experience, he was able to learn from Fong Chung Shun how to fire a gun without blinking and look handsome and style. Fong Chung Shun said with a smile, "My daughter doesn't blink when she spends money, I'd rather be born 20 years later. Everyone praises me out of respect for the elderly, because I'm old." Referring to their action scenes in the movie, Fong Chung Shun said that the hard work of filming fight scenes was still acceptable, but the cold weather was the most difficult; before this filming, Ka Lok had a class with action director German Cheung Man Kit. In the past he only knew to take it "head on" and was prone to injury; but now he has learned to hit and be hit, and how to unload the force.

Brother Lui said that playing the black hand behind the scenes in the film gave his acting bug its fill, but Cheung Kai Chung's villain was able to shoot wildly and should be more fun. Cheung Kai Chung said that this was the first time he performed with Brother Lui, and his mood was originally the excitement of a fan. However the character setting needed him to resist him, and he could only suppress the trembling in his heart and devote himself to the role. However, Ah Chung still regarded Brother Lui as a role model. He has always maintained a good condition, the professionalism of an actor and has become the goal of his pursuit. Ah Chung even said that he came to watch the premiere with his parents, and pointed out that his father has always been interested in watching the health video of Brother Lui hitting acupuncture points, so he must be a filial son to match his father and take photos with Brother Lui.

Lui Leung Wai went to the Guangzhou New Spring Lantern Festival earlier, and the fans present asked him for advice on health preservation. The scene was lively, Brother Lui said that he felt everyone's enthusiasm and was happy to share his health experience with everyone. "Everyone sees that my acting is just an image on the screen, but at my real age (69 years old), I must have a healthy quality. I don't know how far a person's life can go, the quality of life is very important. I must understand the way of eating and recuperating. I encourage friends over 40 years old to start paying attention to me, and I will keep making health videos to share with everyone."

Cheung Kai Chung's 18-year-old eldest son Cheung Jim went to Australia to study, and his "heartbreak" began; but with the distance, he found that the relationship between father and son was better than before. Now when he looked for his son he would reply right away. He would even with words to tell him "love you", which would warm his heart. Brother Lui agreed with Cheung Kai Chung, because he has experienced the same thing before. He pointed out that his son Lui Sin Yeung is 25 years old and currently working in Beijing. The reporter asked his son if he was dating. Brother Lui smiled and said, "He won't tell me, I don't know if he tells Mommy or not. You can't force it, take your time." Would he aspire to be a father in law? He said, "Leave it up to fate, the current generation of young people is already different and I will respect their ideas."

A member of the girl group VIVA, Macy Ma Sihui played the only female member of the emergency unit in the film. Responsible for logistical support, she left the work of fighting until the flesh and blood to several macho men. Yet she has participated in the filming of an explosion scene, and she has to run at high speed on Granville Road. The male team members were all tall, long-legged, running as fast as a gust of wind. She could not catch up with them no matter what.

Carlos Chan Ka Lok and Michelle Wai Sze Nga attended the opening of the new store yesterday. The two attended the event together again after more than two years. He joked that in recent years they have run into each other later. Because Wai Sze Nga became the Best Actress, he could not meet her mark for team up work. Wai Sze Nga smiled and pointed out that it was all because Ka Lok had another Sze Nga. "Are you dumb? Saying stuff like that. Since he got married he has been asking (Shiga) Lin Sze Nga, not Wai Sze Nga. Because when he and his wife come out together, the news is bigger and they would suit better. I would match my husband more."

Earlier the "44th Hong Kong Film Awards" announced its nominations, and Wai Sze Nga announced the Best Actor nominations that day. When she saw her good friend Chan Ka Lok's name she could not help but break down. Wai Sze Nga yesterday joked that she was "comforted at old age". As for Ka Lok's confidence in winning the award, he said that he would work hard and he was already very happy to be nominated. To be recognized by his peers was a great encouragement. Wai Sze Nga said that she was optimistic about winning the award. "I will definitely support him blindly. We actually grew up together, and we have worked together in the first TV series in the industry. I hope we can all achieve good results." Chan Ka Lok praised Wai Sze Nga for living up to her Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress title. When she made the Best Actor nominations announcements, she displayed different layers of expressions. She made him nervous while watching the live broadcast, difficult to estimate whether he was nominated or not.

She has also been nominated for Best Supporting Actress with CIAO UFO, was she confident that she would win the award? She said, "I am confident, but this year is a party for me. I am looking forward to it a little more, I have asked my husband if he would accompany me on the red carpet this year, because Chan Ka Lok would take Lin Sze Nga to the red carpet. I really want to be able to take a group photo on the red carpet together with the four of us, it would be a very memorable moment. My husband said that he would consider it, see if he would have to work that day first."

However Chan Ka Lok said that his wife might not be able to return to Hong Kong in time because of work abroad. He joked that he was considering carrying her daughter to accompany him on the red carpet, but she was worried about his daughter would run around. Wai Sze Nga revealed that during the Lunar New Year she and her husband along with Chan Ka Lok's family held a group visit. She praised Ka Lok's daughter for being well-behaved and smart, and her English was better than her father's. Ka Lok told Sze Nga not to talk anymore, which was very funny. Chan Ka Lok said that his daughter now has very strong impersonation abilities. "She has started to imitate adults on the phone. She also helps with straightening up shoes and throwing away garbage." Wai Sze Nga said that she has no parenthood plan yet. She and her husband have 4 godchildren and foster 10 children. "Being parents isn't simple, it's a huge responsibility."

Earlier when Suen Huen and Goo Jai were streaming live, some online asked whether the extended version would have any audience appreciation screenings. At the time Goo Jai said to Suen Huen, "Do you really want audience appreciation? Arrange for more? Yes, seriously! Coming up for 10 shows in a row." He was a man of his words and sure enough, he arranged 10 audience appreciation screenings for BACK TO THE PAST "Plus+ Multiverse Edition". He would even appear as the "Lung Fong Couple". The tickets for 10 performances were sold out quickly, and it was announced that additional performances would be promoted.

The night before (3rd) the Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) held a special "EJ Good Luck Lantern Festival Spring Tea", director Jack Ng Wai Lun, the leads Dayo Wong Tze Wah and Sammi Cheng Sau Man, together with Louise Wong Dan Nei, Alan Yeung Wai Lun, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip, Dee Ho Kai Wah, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Mandy Tam Man Huen, Sumling Li, Hazel Lam Hei Tung, Kay Choi Wai Ki held a livestream broadcast to celebrate the Lantern Festival with movie fans. Reportedly the movie has accumulated at the Hong Kong and Macau box office over HK$ 77.77 million yesterday, taking over the 6th place at the Hong Kong film box office.

At the same time, Master Peter So Man Fung was invited to discuss the fortunes of the guests in the Year of the Horse, and Master So praised the excellent title of NIGHT KING, which is bound to break through the HK$ 100 million mark. Tze Wah and Sammi were excited about the Lantern Festival and reuniting with the NIGHT KING team. Tze Wah said, "I haven't seen the staff for a long time. Tonight really has the atmosphere of the EJ spring tea." Hearing that the movie box office has reached a new high, Sammi described her mood with "gratitude", saying, "I cherish this performance very much, the happiest thing is that the audience can sense the message the movie has brought out. After watching everyone have a common topic, a lot of consideration, and the movie is well worth watching again. I am really very happy to enjoy this wonderful result with everyone together." Tze Wah also agreed, "NIGHT KING has aroused all kinds of discussions and concerns. It can be said that it has lit something for this city and added a little more vitality. I think it is a very happy thing."

Sammi even called Tze Wah a "lighthouse". "Not only does he shine by himself, but he also makes everyone around him shine together. With so many outstanding new Hong Kong actors this time, it is of course great that they have been recognized so quickly." Tze Wah felt that it was not unreasonable, pointing out that from TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM), A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG) to NIGHT KING many new actors have been recognized by the audience. "I hope to allow us to start more film productions, and everyone will go to the cinemas more so that newcomers will have more opportunities to be seen by everyone."

People online have knocked on the bowl that if the box office would exceed 100 million, they hoped that Tze Wah would sing the promotional song STAR SHOW LEGEND "Shine Once Version". Director Ng Wai Lun revealed that the soundtrack of NIGHT KING is under preparation, and Tze Wah joked, "Don't expect me, don't let me break it up." Regarding whether Tze Wah and Sammi will collaborate again, Ng Wai Lun broke the news that he wanted to make a zombie movie. Tze Wah joked that he was willing to be bitten, but called on everyone to support NIGHT KING first. "We still have unfinished tasks." Director Ng pointed out that he had a good time working with the team. As for whether he would make a zombie movie, he still had to think about it seriously. "I hope that there will be new ideas in the future, and everyone will respond to the call, blow the whistle and come back to play again."

In the film "Turf" (Yeung Wai Lun) and "Prince Fung" (Lo Chun Yip) are very popular, Yeung Wai Lun admitted that he was flattered and admitted said that he was happy that the audience liked the "Turf Jump". He was the happiest that the director was so open during filming and to be able to create with Tze Wah. Lo Chun Yip said with a smile that he never thought that the popularity of "Prince Fung" would be so strong. He even recited the Vietnamese line in the film on the spot, "Are you all here to cheat me out of money", which shocked and caused the audience to burst into laughter.

In addition, with the title of "MVP" "Kwai Fong" Choi Wai Ki was predicted by Master So Man Fung that there would be a greater breakthrough in her career in the next two years. She said that she would maintain a normal state of mind and would follow the master's advice not to drive but to take the MTR this year. "Go to Kwai Fong Station more, I think my luck should be better." She laughed and said that she had been recognized by passers-by and asked for a group photo when promoting at Kwai Fong Station a few days ago, and she thanked everyone for their support.

After Fish Liew Chi Yu was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards, when asked if she would ask for a raise when accepting film roles she bluntly said that the film market was sluggish and she began to feel pressured. She hoped to be able to receive more jobs, and as long as others would no longer ask her to take a pay cut she would already be pleased. As for Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Fish collaborating again after 10 years, she was confident that her friend would win Best Actress.

Best Actress Yu Heung Ying, Liew Chi Yu, Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi), Elizabeth Tang Tao, Yanny Chan Wing Yan, etc. attended their movie GIRLFRIENDS (NUI HAI BUT PING FAN)' star screening the night before. Yu Heung Ying and Fish collaborated again 10 years after SISTERHOOD (GWUT MUI), and Fish admitted that in recent years they have been busy with their own schedules and rarely have time to get together. With this production instead they could chat to their hearts' content during breaks. After Fish was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards, although she was the favorite she did not dare to think too much. "Everyone seems to have predicted that I will definitely win, everyone knows that the favorite will be upset. When I heard I was nominated I already felt it was enough; so even if I don't get it, don't be too harsh on me. I'm so scared! (Chasing old friend Yu Heung Ying?) No, I can walk slowly on my own path!" Yu Heung Ying expressed her full confidence in Fish, and said with a smile that if she would be successfully crowned she would ask her to take everyone on vacation.

Fish felt that the most important thing was to get more jobs, admitting that the market downturn made her a little worried and stressed. "Although I said it doesn't matter whether I win an award or not, with the nomination I personally feel that times are different now. (The asking price is higher?) I only ask not to ask me to take a pay cut anymore, be able to maintain a good price, having a job is already great! Thank you to the Hong Kong Film Awards for giving me confidence." Regarding her tears at the Macau premiere earlier, she revealed that she and her friends in SISTERHOOD have developed well; so when everyone can stand on the stage in unison, she was quite touched.

Playing a pair again 10 years after SISTERHOOD, would Yu Heung Ying and Liew Chi Yu feel awkward because they are already good friends? Yu Heung Ying said, "After becoming familiar the level of trust has increased, which instead helps the characters. We don't need to say too much; even play with a lot of 'hard' stuff that aren't originally in the script, like smelling the other's mouth for bad breath, to add a little more sense of life. Now if we have to play enemies we would still have no problem." She also aid that she was very envious of TangTao's passion scene in the film.

On the other hand, Natalie said at the event the night before that her co-star Tang Tao had many daring scenes in the film, which made her envious. She also said with a smile that she wanted to perform in daring scenes. As for her second Best Actress nomination for the Hong Kong Film Awards for the movie MY FIRST OF MAY (MO MING JI), she admitted that she would face it normally and was honored to be nominated. She pointed out that the other four finalists were all actors she admired. "I have seen their films, and the competition this year is quite big. I never would have guessed that I would be able to sit with them, I am so excited! (Who would be your favorite?) All! Because they are all very different and cannot be compared." She praised Fish for always working hard and deserving of the award more than her. "If she gets it, I would be happier than if I got it."

Yanny Chan Wing Yan after her wedding looked obviously rounder, and she emphasized that she was happy fat. "I am not pregnant, or almost pregnant. I haven't needed supplements yet. Everyone please don't misunderstand, it's from being happy. The climate has been very humid, it's fluid. With the turnip cakes and New Year cakes, it may be a little grease too. I would leave weight loss to fate." Have the elders urged her to have a baby during the Lunar New Year? Chan Wing Yan joked that she was already being asked before she got married. Now she is still passionate about work and would leave having a child to nature.

The "32nd Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards Presentation Ceremony" was held at the Hong Kong Film Archive yesterday. Five time winner of the Society's Best Actor award five times, Sean Lau Ching Wan served as the guest of honor and presented the award to "Best Actor and Actress" Louis Koo Tin Lok (Goo Jai) and Fish Liew Chi Yu. Liew Chi Yu won her first Best Actress and stated that she hoped to win another; Goo Jai hoped that the film industry will innovate and progress, and jokingly said that he asked Ching Wan to make JUET SAI HO YEH (PEERLESS GOOD THINGS). The 5th Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards Best Actor Lau Ching Wan with Jacky Cheung Hok Yau's song THE FARAWAY HER to encourage the young generations not to give up on dreams and to rely on themselves to create results.

"Best Film" was won by CIAO UFO (JOI GEIN UFO); Koo Tin Lok won the "Best Actor" for BEHIND THE SHADOWS (SI GA JING TAM); Liew Chi Yu won the "Best Actress" award for the first time with SOMEONE LIKE ME (JEUNG NGOR JEH YEUNG DIK OI CHING); Jonathan Li Tsz Chun and Chow Man Yu won the "Best Director" for BEHIND THE SHADOWS; UNIDENTIFIED MURDER (UFO KEI LEI MING ONG)' Kwok Ka Hei, Lee Chun Kit, Ho Siu Hong and Choi Ka Hang jointly won the "Best Screenplay". The 6 recommended movies included: UNIDENTIFIED MURDER, BEHIND THE SHADOWS, GIRL, PAWS LAND (MO GA), ANOTHER WORLD (SAI OI) and THE SHADOW'S EDGE (BO FUNG JUI YING), among which the director of GIRL Shu Qi was absent for some reason and the representative of the film company accepted the award on her behalf.

Before the award, Ching Wan joked that winning the lottery was not easy. However she saw many actresses going to night clubs and making a killing with NIGHT KING "Brother Foon" and "Sister V". "Jobs have no class differentiation. For a living, everyone has to do something to hold on. I feel you don't need to let go of your ideals and dreams, as they say 'If passion hasn't changed, who cares about the changes' (the lyrics of Cheung Hok Yau's FARAWAY HER). He was asked about his message to the new actors, and he stated, "The most important thing for an actor is to form his own performance through experience; don't rely on listening to those cliches Lau Ching Wan say, which sound useless. I think it is only useful to rely on yourself to see, listen, and think." He also funnily claimed to be a "indiscriminately working" and welcomed new directors to work with him. However they had to think clearly about whether they really needed him. What would be the conditions for the collaboration? Ching Wan smiled and said, "If there are more actresses I will definitely go, the type like Brother Foon in NIGHT KING (YEH WONG). You should ask me to be Brother Foon earlier, I would have tripping over myself to come."

Goo Jai received the "Best Actor" award from his friend Lau Ching Wan, and said with a smile, "Recently many people have said that they have watched me act since they were children. I watched Ching Wan's POLICE CADET when I was little." Goo Jai said, "I think many things need to change, now that technology is advanced, streaming platforms, short videos and AI are born, we all need to change to progress, and we need the relay of the next generation. I hope everyone will continue to support Hong Kong films and support us to continue to keep going!"

After the event Goo Jai and Liew Chi Yu were interviewed together. Goo Jai said that he received the award from his friend Ching Wan and it was the first time he won the award, so he was very happy. When the award was announced that day, he was a little dumbfounded and did not dare to believe it. Speaking of working with Ching Wan on LA BRASSIERE (JUET SAI HO BRA) and the producer of the film was also present, would they have the opportunity to work together again? Goo Jai believed that there would always be a chance because film is a dream world, but it would depend on the script. He also joked that filming can start JUET SAI HO YEH (PEERLESS GOOD THING). Would his next goal be to win the Hong Kong Film Awards "Best Actor"? Goo Jai said, "The next goal is to make a good movie, the nomination is already recognition. Everyone would do their best. From the impression that the Hong Kong Film Awards have given me in the past, if someone has two nominations for one award the vote source would be diluted. However I hope (Raymond) Lam Fung would be nominated for BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI)."

Liew Chi Yu received a thumbs up from Ching Wan. From Malaysia, she revealed that she grew up watching Hong Kong films and was a "TV child". "I grew up watching Hong Kong films since childhood. I was a TV child. My Ma has to raise 3 daughters alone because Papa works overseas, I was left in the take of television. Papa has a friend who sells pirated VCDs, so he constantly brought back a big pile of video discs, including Hong Kong films and category III films; but he didn't know. I watch anything and everything, I really liked the film world, which I feel is very romantic. I have always longed for my life to have many romantic things happening. Today I stand on this award tage, with Lau Ching Wan presenting the award to me. It's super romantic." She said that she loved actin so much, in the future she would use her observation and curiosity for the world to put what she has learned and known into her roles. She hoped that the curse of "no movie for 3 years after winning an award" that NIGHT KING director Jack Ng Wai Lu referred to did not exist. "I am planning to welcome even more characters, I hope to have even more opportunities to perform."

After winning her first Best Actress, Liew Chi Yu admitted that she hoped to win a second award and have a movie to make next would be the best Would she be really worried about not having a film to make for 3 years after winning the award? She admitted that she was worried, "Currently the market is sluggish." Her boss Goo Jai immediately joked, "I will start a production for you before we get into the vehicle later. It's strange that every time you win an award, I am in the audience. I am so scared that you would cry from being so excited." Chi Yu smiled and said, "I almost cried just now, but I feel a big girl should hold back and stop crying."

She also jokingly revealed that she was very happy to watch the Goo Jai and Ching Wan starred LA BRASSIERE. "Before I wore a bra I already watched this movie, and also learned to wear a bra from watching this movie." Goo Jai joked, "I hope it didn't affect your development. You could've watched anything, but you watched two men wear bras." Goo Jai revealed that he has been in contact with the filming of the movie "1941", but has not yet read the script.

Chow Man Yu won Best Director for BEHIND THE SHADOWS, and thanked the film's boss Koo Tin Lok for contributing money and heart. Although Koo Tin Lok was an experienced actor, he would never teach the director what to do. He would rather do the job well as a companion. "The argument scene between Koo Tin Lok and (Chrissie) Chau Sau Na was shot wrong. I suggested another take, he said OK and did it with us. He never minded the mistakes of a new director and was willing to finish the job together."

[2026.03.04] DOUBLE HAPPINESS SURPASSES 10 MILLION MARK IN TAIWAN, HOPES TO BREAK OUT IN HONG KONG

Jennifer Yu and Tin Kai Man work on their first Taiwan film, work pleasantly with Golden Horse Award Best Supporting Actor Liu Kuan-Ting and set off many sparks

Liu Kuan-Ting says that he is nervous about the Hong Kong release, like going to the "in laws" with "wife" Jennifer Yu.

Liu Kuan-Ting says that he worries every time about not knowing what Tin Kai Man might do. Jennifer Yu admits that she can easily be affected, so she does not dare to look at Tin Kai Man

The Liu Kuan-Ting, Jennifer Yu Heung Ying, Tin Kai Man starred the Taiwanese movie DOUBLE HAPPINESS has had decent word of mouth since its release. Recently the three of them were interviewed together. Tin Kai Man praised Yu Heung Ying's Best Actress title was well-deserved and not by chance. He admitted that he wanted to receive his first film award nomination in his life with this film, while the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress Yu Heung Ying and the Golden Horse Award Best Supporting Actor Liu Kuan-Ting almost slipped up in front of the fully comedic elder Tin Kai Man. He admitted that he often improvised to create real reaction, constantly making the two leads "steam crab" (trying not to laugh). Playing the bride, Yu Heung Ying has become widely popular in Taiwan as many viewers said that they wanted to marry her and take her home. However her confidence to try for the Golden Horse Award Best Actress has not increase, instead she felt her co-star Liu Kuan-Ting would very likely be nominated for Best Actor. DOUBLE HAPPINESS after two weeks in release in Taiwan has collected NT$ 47 million (around HK$ 11.58 million). The three admitted that they were nervous about the Hong Kong box office. Facing the topical Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) and THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO) as well as cinema circuit film scheduling issues, Tin Kai Man could only say that if the audience would support the film, he was confident that no one would be disappointed.

The film tells the story of the groom Kao Ting Sheng (Liu Kuan- Ting) and the bride Ng Doi Ling (Yu Heung Ying), who faced the man's father Kao Sheng Hong (Tou Chung-Hua) and his mother Bai Yan Hsin (Yang Kuei-Mei) who had been at odds for many years and fought to organize the wedding ceremony on the big day. Kao Ting Sheng teamed up with his father in law Old Ng (Tin Kai Man), the wedding consultant (9m88), best man Big Tsai (Kent Tsai) to attempt two wedding ceremonies in one day.

Yu Heung Ying said that after receiving the DOUBLE HAPPINESS script, she really liked it and was moved after reading it. However she was truly a little surprised by the Taiwan audience's fondness for her character. "The audience super like this character, some people even say hat they really want to marry me and take me home." She felt that her bride role was attractive because she was very sunny in the film. "The male lead is heavier in comparison, being in a relatively depressed condition on the wedding day. He was very nervous and had a lot to take care of. I kept supporting him by his side."

Acting in a Taiwanese film for the first time, Yu Heung Ying stated that she was very confident in the film but was still nervous about the Hong Kong box office. Ultimately two other Lunar New Year films have been in release. Tin Kai Man hoped that Chinese films could fully bloom and the audience would have more choices, saying that he was confident that the audience would not be disappointed when entering the cinema. Liu Kuan-ting also said that he was very nervous. He said that he was just as nervous as "wife" Yu Heung Ying, and joked that he felt like he went to the "in laws". He did not know whether the "in laws' would be very upset from seeing Yu Heung Ying suffer at his home. After working with Louis Koo Tin Lok on BEHIND THE SHADOWS (SI GA JING TAM), he was happy to work with Hong Kong actors again and praised Yu Heung Ying for her professionalism. She wore wedding dresses and high heels everyday, while the boys were already uncomfortable just wearing leather shoes. Brother Tin also shared his experience. "I never imagine after meeting Yu Heung Ying for the first time at the Asian Film Awards we would so quickly have the chance to work together. She has to carry the bride's condition throughout, everyday she is the earliest on the set for makeup. I feel she is very professional. What more needs to be said about Big Brother Tin Kai Man. When you were little you had to have watched his movies. I felt that being to able to work with an actor I really worshipped when I was little was quite an honor. During the production he shared a lot of experience with me."

When asked about the difference between Hong Kong and Taiwanese actors, Heung Ying pointed out that Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have similar emotional processing, but Hong Kong actors are naughtier and love to improvise. Many Taiwanese actors are from professional backgrounds and read books very professionally during their breaks. She thanked everyone for taking good care of her and Tin Kai Man, and thanked Yang Kuei-Mei for sending a red shawl to keep her warm and often checking up on her.

Grew up in a single-parent family, Yu Heung Ying said that this time she realized her inner desire in the script. "My Papa is a very traditional and hides everything, but in the film Tin Kai Man and I depend on each other; on the day of the wedding he expressed the love in his heart, which moved me so much. Tin Kai Man told me what I have always wanted to hear." She laughed and said that when she saw Tin Kai Man during the filming that day, as soon as she knelt down and poured the tea she cried, not due to her acting skills but real emotions.

Tin Kai Man worked with Yu Heung Ying for the first time, admiring her for crying on cue. "This Best Actress is well-deserved, not by chance, not picked up, she's really good." He praised the crew for the good atmosphere, people were queuing up everyday to treat, every time they have been ingenious. As for Liu Kuan-ting, he wanted to taste roast pork the most when he came to Hong Kong this time.

Tin Kai Man admitted that Hong Kong cinemas at the current level was very one sided. Film scheduling would not schedule too many shows. Although DOUBLE HAPPINESS is a Taiwan film, as an actor he only hoped with different subjects and teaming to provide more chances to the audience. "I am very confident too, certain that the audience who go to the cinema wouldn't be disappointed. Perhaps this movie is very different from other movies. I have always emphasized film needs variety. At least everyone would accept my and Yu Heung Ying's performance. This teaming of her and Liu Kuan-ting is also very couple like."

With her first Taiwan film Yu Heung Ying has already been so welcomed and had such a good result, would her confidence to try for the Golden Horse Awards Best Actress be increased? She said, "No, but Liu Kuan-Ting would probably have one this year." Liu Kuan-Ting humbly said right away, "I don't dare to think about that, it's more important for the audience to like it."

Engaging in behind-the-scenes work in recent years, Tin Kai Man said that he enjoyed being an actor this time and felt that he had acting talent. Also in his first Taiwan film, Tin Kai Man admitted that he wanted to receive the first film award nomination with DOUBLE HAPPINESS. "I have never thought about he Golden Horse Award Best Supporting at all. This time I really enjoy the performance as purely an actor, which I have been pretty pleased with. I discovered that actually my acting actually has some talent, but for one or two scenes, I suddenly became a producer or a director identity and taught others. I got a little too nosy, so I don't know whether the director like that or not."

He revealed that he published the film novel to present the long-created script in another form. "Some scripts are backlogged at the bottom of the drawer, and I have not found an investor to start filming.

In the future should the opportunity present itself its rights could be sold again for its big screen adaptation."

Chan Tak Sum said that he has been preparing for the action film 1941 to raise fund for the Hong Kong Stuntmen Association to help the aging action actors without any saving. "I would produce, Chin Kar Lok would direct, (Louis) Koo Tin Lok, (Nick) Cheung Ka Fai, (Charmaine) Sheh Sze Man and (Daniel Wu) Ng Yin Cho would star, along with (Sammo) Hung Kam Bo, Yuen Biao, Yuen Qiu, (Andy) Lau Tak Wah, Tsui Hark and Yuen Woo Ping, members of YOUNG AND DANGEROUS (GOO WAT JAI) and INFERNAL AFFAIRS (MO GAN DOH). Jackie Chan, (Jet Li) Lee Nin Kit and (Donnie) Yen Chi Tan was considering it." He said that the script has been under inspection and funding would not be a problem. The film would shoot on location in Hong Kong and the mainland at the end of the year.

Chin Kar Lok said that the production team would mainly consist of local staff, hoping to push Hong Kong action films to new heights. The Hong Kong Stuntmen Association president for a 6th consecutive term, he said that has already "climbed to six" and received his JoyYou card. He has planned to complete this term and hand the baton to the young people to take over. "The affiliated organization has applied for government assistance and would organize Hong Kong stunt actor training class that would give graduates internships on 1941."

[2026.03.02] KELLY CHEN LOOKS FORWARD TO RENEWING HER ONSCREEN RELATIONSHIP WITH TAKESHI KANESHIRO

Kelly Chen is still interested in making movies, but it would depend on the script. For example she would like to challenge the Demi Moore starred SUBSTANCE.

Kelly Chen claims that she has worked with Takeshi Kaneshiro on three occasions. When she watches LAVENDAR again she feels they are well matched. Also because of making that film they have become more familiar with each others
courtesy of mingpao.com

Kelly Chen Wai Lam held a new song THE FRAGRANCE OF MEMORY music video press conference and movie LAVENDER (FUN YI CHO) screening at the cinema the night before. Kelly said that Kong Hoi Ka (AGA) wrote the new song two years ago. AGA also liked the movie and songs of LAVENDER, and the concept of the new song could be regarded as a continuation of the film. Kelly laughed and said that she rewatched the movie with Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo), admitted that she also missed him and hoped to have the opportunity to work with him again. Kelly bluntly said that she was ready to start a side track show, and a long-lost "male god" will join her in March.

Chen Wai Lam said at the meeting that she has collaborated with Gum Sing Mo three times, including the movies LOST AND FOUND (TIN NGAI HOI GOK), ANNA MAGDALENA (ON NA MA DUT LIN NA) and LAVENDER. She said with a smile, "I remember when I was filming LOST, Gum Sing Mo and I were not familiar at all. He often looked at the sea alone like an artist, and I thought to myself, 'You are quite boring.' When I made ANNA we started to get acquainted, because (Aaron) Kwok Fu Sing was present to create the atmosphere. We became even more familiar when filming LAVENDER. Because it was just the two of us, we would have bad breath if we didn't talk day and night; so we became friends, and our chemistry was even better."

Chen Wai Lam said that the new song was inspired by LAVENDER and was recorded two years ago. It was only released now completely because she was waiting for the director to finish the music video. "The director has many ideas. He wants to ask Gum Sing Mo, and he wants to shoot in France. It's too much! We don't have such a big budget." Why did she not ask Gum Sing Mo to perform in the new song music video? Kelly said, "Because I couldn't find him, I rarely contact him, and I miss him a little. Now watching the movie again I felt that at the time we were rather pretty well matched, very romantic." Kelly also said that the new song music video deliberately went back to the locations of LAVENDER at Central, but unfortunately most of the scenes are unrecognizable. The original restaurant has now become an empty shop, which was quite depressing."

She said that after watching Gum Sing Mo in SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) he already felt drastically different. "Now he has turned into a big brother. At the time he was a young man. We were very romantic.

Cheung Kai Chung said that their characters have personal grudges in addition to being antagonistic in the film, and he would also take revenge. The two were nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for "Best Actor" at the same time, which could be described as fighting from on to off camera. Cheung Kai Chung believed that being nominated was already a success and a win-win situation. Chan Ka Lok was nominated for the first time after many years in the industry. He was very moved, thanked the industry for the affirmation given to him and the friends who helped him along the way.

Regarding his friend Michelle Wai Sze Nga's excitement and tears when announcing the nominations, Ka Lok pointed out that her expression made him sublimate that emotion and even revealed that he has jokingly told her to pretend to read his name no matter what. "Who knew that when I saw her expression when she opened the letter, I still thought, 'Are you acting or really moved'? Seeing her getting more and more excited, I suddenly had a feeling of 'could there really be a chance'?" He admitted that the two have been in the industry for eighteen or nineteen years and have experienced a lot side by side. He believed that she was truly happy for him. His wife Shiga Lin was so happy that she screamed wildly when she learned the news, and even more excited than him. Would he walk the red carpet with his wife on the day of the award ceremony? Ka Lok said that of course he wanted to, but his wife would be going elsewhere for work in mid-April, and he hoped that they would be able to coordinate the schedule.

Cheung Kai Chung said that the whole family was happy for him to be nominated, facing off two Best Actors Louis Koo Tin Lok and Tony Leung Ka Fai. Cheung Kai Chung said frankly, "Being nominated is already a great affirmation. I have already handed in the best homework, so I can walk the red carpet with my head held high. Within my own ability, I have overcome many things to play the role well. I am proud of myself." He would invited his wife Kay Tse On Kay to accompany him and help him stabilize his emotions. Chan Ka Lok said that Heaven would decide the outcome, and he was worthy of the role he played. He could not help but cry on the spot after learning the news of the nomination.

Cheung Kai Chung's son Cheung Jim went to Australia to study a few days ago. He described the feeling "like a broken heart" and still have not been able to let go. Fortunately, with the advancement of technology they could often meet via video. He even have found that his son has changed from "read" to "response in seconds", and now everyone's relationships are closer. He laughed and said that if his younger daughter also went overseas to study in the future, he would follow her and even emigrate. He also laughed at himself that now he would cry so easily that he would be for being suitable for making romantic films. He said that on the day of bidding their son farewell, both he and his wife cried and had no appetite to eat in the terminal. After boarding when the flight attended served meals he was already in a pool of tears. Fellow father Chan Ka Lok smiled and said that he tried not to think about these problems. Because his daughter has grown up a little now, not letting him hold on has not felt good.

Playing the role of a policewoman in the film, Ma Sihui joked that she was lucky to have a group of young men around. She could appreciate the handsome men while being protected so she felt happy. The hardest part of the film was running and lifting guns. Would she feel that she would need physical training after filming? As one of the members of the girl group VIVA, Macy said, "VIVA is training every day, because we signed up for a sports competition that requires the cooperation of four people. We will soon release a new song, I hope to release it in April."

Chan Kwok Bong said that he was very happy to constantly come out to promote recently and would not be accused of being dull, because his daughter Chan Chun also said the same and thought he was annoying. However he had no plan to deliberate change how he and his daughter got along, feeling that as long s the family atmosphere was harmious it as fine. He also pointed out that on his 58th birthday earlier, because his wife and daughter were both in Thailand, he made an appointment with Louis Yuen Siu Cheung to celebrate.

Michael Hui Koon Man, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Chung Suet Ying, Jiro Lee Sheung Ching and director Philip Yung Tsz Kwong went to the theater yesterday to continue to thank the audience for the Lunar New Year film THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO). Although Hui Koon Man only made a cameo appearance as Kam Yin Ling's husband, Kam Yin Ling was very grateful to him for allowing her to express her true feelings during filming. She said that her favorite scene was seeing Hui Koon Man turning around and smiling at the betting branch, saying that he was professional, respected the film industry and supported the director. With his warmth toward her, she was able to smile in this scene with real emotions. She could not help but cry when she talked about the touching parts, the scene was moving.

Philip Yung Tze Kwong said that he was very grateful to Hui Koon Man for participating in the audience appreciation screening, feeling that Grandpa role had to be performed by him. He also explained to the audience the reason for the number 38's appearance in the film, showing Grandpa and Grandma's marriage certificate dated March 8th. In addition, Yung Tsz Kwong earlier posted on social platform to express his displeasure at the discrepancies between showtime scheduling and yesterday said that he would not accept any interview.

Hui Koon Man revealed that he was writing a story about Alzheimer's disease, but director Yung Tze Kwong shot it first and even made it into a comedy; so he agreed to perform without any hesitation. He said, "This movie is about my two favorite things, respecting the elderly and the warmth of family." Hui Koon Man also strongly praised Chung Suet Ying for her good acting skills and being the future hope of Hong Kong films. As for his long time co-star Kam Yin Ling was also able to make him forget himself in the performance. Hui Koon Man admitted that after finishing his script in the future, he hoped to have the opportunity to work with them again. Speaking of Yung Tsz Kwong once criticized the lack of shows scheduled for affecting box office revenue. Hui Koon Man believed that the impact has not been great because the box office has already exceeded 10 million, and people who like this movie would definitely come to support it.

Winning the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actress with the Yung Tsz Kwong directed WHERE THE WIND BLOWS, Hui Koon Man said that he did not deliberate come to support the director due to THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY scheduling issues. He said, "I have always supported Director Yung. He used to make horror films and deranged films, but this time he actually made a comedy. Seeing that he did a good job in arranging for the ending, I hope to have the opportunity to collaborate again and he can ask me to play a deranged killer." Hui Koon Man and Dayo Wong Tze Wah's THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) have broken all the records, but this time he had to face off against NIGHT KING (YEH WONG). He hoped that all films would be able to break records. Did he feel the film scheduling has been unfair? He said that he saw THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY also had many shows. "Film showing scheduling more or less have a little influence, but not the biggest influence. If the movie is entertaining, people would watch it no matter what. I have always had this belief."

Hui Koon Man participated in THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY audience appreciation event for the first time, saying that he knew other actors have been very tired from thanking the audience over many days. For his first participation the feeling was very fresh. "I feel very happy, because having the chance to make this movie is my dream. Originally I was writing a story that respects the elderly about Alzheimer's Disease, suddenly the director said that he was already writing one and I was already too late. This film is about two thing

Praised by Hui Koon Man in person, Chung Suet Ying did not feel pressured. Instead he was very happy to be able to get in close contact with her seniors, and said that the new generation of actors are all working hard to perform. She hoped that the audience will go to the cinemas more to support Hong Kong films. Earlier as Jace Chan Hoi Wing's concert guest, old footage from her ATV competition was dug up. She said, "It's pretty funny, waking me up to what I did when I was a minor. As long as I don't do it again it's fine, I absolutely have never thought of becoming a singer again."

Lee Sheung Ching revealed that today he would thank the audience with his face twin, MIRROR member Lokman Yeung. Would they sing MY MEMORY ISN'T MINE with him? He joked that he would not do anything that was no longer his expertise.

The Jennifer Yu Heung Ying, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Elizabeth Tang Tao, Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi) and others starred new film GIRLFRIENDS (NUI HAI BUT PING FAN) is Tracy Choi Yan Sin directed and held its premiere in Macau two days go. The film theme song performer Panther Chan Lui also attended. Nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for the first with her 2017 film SISTERHOOD (GWUIT MUI), Macau director Mak Yan Sin sentimentally said, "10 years ago, Liew Chi Yu, Yu Heung Ying and I collaborated on SISTERHOOD, which was also a story that took place in Macau. Now the three of us collaborate again on GIRLFRIENDS, which is also shot in Macau. This city carries an unique meaning for us." Playing a couple in the film, Liew Chi Yu and Yu Heung Ying have been close friends private for many years as well. Liew Chi Yu said that working with Yu Heung Ying again after a very long time, they instead did not need to communicate much to have great compatibility and chemistry already. She revealed that when she watched the back of the director backstage she had a variety of emotions, as she once shed tears and said that it has actually been 10 years in the brink of an eye and she thought of a lot that happened 10 years ago in Macau. Yu Heung Ying was moved for the director Choi Yan Sin for having a movie that she really liked and was very proud of 10 years later.

Tang Tao felt that Macau was a place where people were very tightly connected, and the film had this feeling. During the shoot she also often "ran into friends", which made her feel that Macau was truly very special. Hui Yan Yi pointed out that the graduation karaoke scene made up for her regret of being unable to attend her graduation party due to job. Chan Lui created the theme song ORDINARY PEOPLE, citing that the audience would understand the deeper meaning of the song title after experiencing the movie at theaters.
