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 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.

The Lunar New Year movie NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) held a New Spring audience appreciation ceremony yesterday, director Jack Ng Wai Lun led a group of actors Fish Liew Chi Yu, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Dee Ho Kai Wah, Sumling Li, etc. to share with the audience and take a group photo, and announced on the spot that the film has grossed more than 65 million (Hong Kong dollars, the same below) in Hong Kong and Macau since the Lunar New Year's Day to become the eighth highest grossing Chinese language film in Hong Kong history. Some of Yeung Sze Wing's scenes have been cut, which upset her enough to make a post. Yesterday she attended the event with illness and did not respond to the interview. She coughed numerous times at the scene and did not smile until Ah Dee said that he wanted to thank her. Ng Wai Lun wanted to send the lead actor Dayo Wong Tze Wah to invite her to dinner; On the contrary, Liew Chi Yu and Lo Chun Yip's roles in the movie were brilliant and impressed the audience. They both agreed that they felt like they have won the lottery!

Director Ng Wai Lun bluntly said that he was very satisfied with the box office results, and would like to thank the audience for their support. His wish was to break the HK$ 115 million box office of his last film A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG). Has there been any box office figure betting this time? Ng Wai Lun said with a smile, " Starting the bet before, Wong Tze Wah said not to gamble anymore. He was probably afraid of losing again. He still hasn't paid up for last time." Liew Chi Yu pointed out that Tze Wah has often treated on the set, and Ng Wai Lun said with a smile, "One thing at a time, I want to get one more meal out of him."

Speaking of Yeung Sze Wing who attended yesterday with illness and left without an interview, her kiss scene with Ah Dee in the film was deleted and her figure was criticized; which made her post to express her displeasure. Ng Wai Lun responded, "She didn't say it in front of me, actually everyone is sensible; Lunar New Year films have to avoid some intense scenes." Would an extended version be released to bring this kiss scene back to the light of day? He said that he has not received a notice from his boss, but he also understood that as an actor when the scenes she worked hard to shoot would not be seen in the finished product, she would definitely be unhappy. Since Yeung Sze Wing has always liked Tze Wah, he might as well make Tze Wah take her to dinner to cheer her up. Ah Dee also moaned about the scene's deletion, but he laughed and said that he did not need to pay him any attention. Actually every actor's role in the film has more or less been deleted.

The role Liew Chi Yu played this time has received unanimous praise. She said that after many years of acting, she finally had a role that left a place in the hearts of the audience and received unprecedented attention. She felt like she won the lottery. Ng Wai Lun also praised, "She hit the jackpot herself, and only a good actor can convey the direct feeling to the audience." Regarding Liew Chi Yu's movies in recent ears have all exceeded 10 million at the box office and being dubbed "Lucky Fish", she humbly said that she was lucky enough to get on the ride that would surpass 100 million at the box office every time. In addition she has not been the one who carried the movie but just kept "tagging along", so she has been able to se the scenery of breaking 100 million together. The director made fun of her for "working indiscriminately", she laughed and said, "Working indiscriminately is great too!" She has been rumored to purchase a home with fengshui that was beneficial to her career, she said that she did not look at fengshui. The most important in a residence was comfort and ample sunlight. Would she ask for a raise? She joked, "Not cutting pay is already great. I hope there would be no more cut and keep having movies to make. (Did NIGHT KING cut your salary?) This time I have been lucky to get this role."

Lo Chun Yip this time played the big villain, and received scolding and praising alike from the audience. He happily said that the role was able to show the charm of the villain, which also made him both love and hate it. "Everyone yelled at me for all 70%, saying that I was oozing with villainy and wanting to beat me up; but they also understood that the character grew up unhappily in his family of origin. I too feel like I have won the lottery, playing a role with such dimensions and allowing me to go to a new territory." He also said that he has played some scummy roles in the past, and would not mind continuing to be a villain in the future. He was not afraid of being stereotyped either, because having a job was already very rare.

Ah Dee while thanking the audience thanked his sick partner Yeung Sze Wing for tolerating the smell of garlic cabbage in his mouth during the kiss scene, which was really difficult for her. Yet this scene was deleted, her figure was commented on and made her unhappy? Ah Dee said that was understandable. "Actors sell art, I get that everyone has the freedom to discuss. Yeung Sze Wing has always had the heart to be a good actor and do a good job." He declared that he has been unhappy too. He was criticized for being bad looking in the past, and he wanted to cry when he talked about it. "But I am so strong, and I will be happy again in the end. Just let me be!" The director said that he would make Tze Wah to take Yeung Sze Wing for dinner, but he would not be invited? Ah Dee smiled and said, "The more I talk about it, the more unhappy I am. I don't feel like eating, so I just eat their leftovers! Actually 70% of my scenes were deleted, but I also focused on the overall situation." He once "took off his pants" to thank he audience for a good box office performance, and joked that if NIGHT KING would reach 200 million he would remove two pairs of pants.

Sumling Li said that she has had scenes deleted as well, among which was a sad scene in which she was in a bath with Cheng Sau Man to talk about why she fell into becoming a "escort". The filming started in the early morning and the two of them soaked in hot water for two hours, but it was also cut a lot shorter. She understood that the New Year movie release should be happier. If there would be an extended version to tell more of their different stories in the future, she hoped that the audience would support it too.

Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing)'s YouTube channel program "Dangerous People 2.0" recently interviewed Shirley Yim (Suet Lei). They have known each other for 47 years. The two are of similar age, have similar early life trajectories; both debuted as minors, and both have experienced love with older men, early marriage, and childbirth. On the program they talked from their views on love to their harsh past in show business and revealed secrets. Claiming to have regretting falling in love Lau Kar Leung, Yung Jing Jing aid that a director once threatened her with a gun and attempted to violate her. Suet Lei was drunk when a television station executive groped her, luckily Wong Shu Tong intervened. Yung Jing Jing asked Suet Lei whether she had any ambiguity with Jackie Chan? She avoided answering and asked, "What business is that of yours?" In addition, Tang Siu Juen responded to the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry on "3 Treasure Channel" yesterday, saying that a TV station producer took him to a night club.

Suet Lei said that when she first met Yung Jing Jing in the TV station's dressing room, the first thing Yung said was, "I'm not afraid of you, I'll call my mother!" Suet Lei also replied, "I'm not afraid if you call your mother to come, let's go out and have a fight!" Nothing came of the incident; later Suet Lei knew that someone was sowing discord, and Yung Jing Jing misunderstood that Suet Lei was talking bad about her behind her back. Suet Lei clarified that when she saw Yung Ching Ching's photo, praised her for being beautiful but not going to school was a pity, but someone distorted what she said and claimed that she accused Yung Jing Jing of stealing the role. Later they made up and even became good friend with the just as strong willed Isabella Wong Man Ying.

Yung Jing Jing said that Wong Man Ying faded out of the film circle after making the movie PROJECT A, and the rumored in the circle was that the actresses who have worked with Jackie Chan have had scandals, but certainly Wong Man Ying was an exception because she would resist to the end. Yung Jing Jing said that the road to enmity with Jackie Chan was narrow, and reiterated when she helped Elaine Wu Yi Lee seek justice, but Suet Lei seemed avoidant and said, "Skip!" Yung said, "Should I be afraid that he has teeth? He's older than us, and his teeth all fell out." Yung asked Suet Lei if Jackie Chan has harassed her back then? Suet Lei said, "What business is that of yours? (There are rumors about you) You ask the one spreading rumors to tell." Yung said that consensual relationship was fine, but if he must not force others to comply. Suet Lei agreed and said, "I can't be forced."

The two talked about their underage debut on the show and had unpleasant experiences; Yung Jing Jing said that she had just finished filming ENCORE (HOK CHOI). Once she went to the bar of the Excelsior Hotel with Teddy Robin Kwan and others to listen to jazz. Teddy Robin asked a fellow director to take Yung Jing Jing home first, but the director did not take her home but to his residence. He also got handsy with her in the vehicle, and even took out a gun to threaten her; Yung Jing Jing did not submit and started fighting with him. She claimed to have studied kung fu, described the director as short in stature, warned him that she was underage and he would go to jail if he succeeded. In the end she escaped and doubled back to the hotel to tell Teddy Robin that she ran into a rapist.

Suet Lei's experience is similar to Yung Jing Jing's, saying that when she went to a nightclub with a large group of people. She was drunk and lying on the sofa when a TV executive at the time groped her. Luckily Wong Shu Tong stood up, yelled, "You are messing with a little girl?" and punched him, allowing her to retreat with all of herself.

Yung Jing Jing fell in love with Lau Kar Leung, who was more than 30 years older than her; and Suet Lei and Norman Chui Siu Keung were also more than ten years apart in their romance; Yung Jing Jing recalled the past and regretted, "These old men, they were adults and we were kids. They shouldn't take advantage of us like this, no matter how much we like you, you have to reject us." Yung Jing Jing watched the movie "LOLITA" a few years ago and felt that even if she wanted to escape what happened to the female protagonist, the man always had a way to keep her; making her seem to be in a predicament from which she could not get out of and she stayed until the end out of loyalty. Looking back on this relationship, Yung Jing Jing said that she regretted it. She felt that it was a super negative teaching material, and was glad that her later study of law created another world.

Suet Lei said that she has never regretted falling in love with Chui Siu Keung, "I love him the most", and believed that various experiences have created her resilient self now. Yung Jing Jing recalled that not long after Suet Lei gave birth to her daughter, they met at a wedding banquet and could not help but tell Suet Lei that she witnessed Chui Siu Keung hugging another woman. Suet Lei emphasized that her final decision to break up with Chui Siu Keung was not based on Yung Jing Jing's whistleblowing, but the result of her personal search for the truth. Suet Lei also mentioned that her ex-fiancé Lo Wai Lik married Wong Man Ying, joked that she had inadvertently become their matchmaker and had no grudge against each other.

In addition to Yung Jing Jing and Suet Lei, Tang Siu Juen also talked about the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry on "3 Treasure Channel" yesterday, saying that actresses will take the initiative to cling to the high-ranking officials. Earlier at an industry insider's event he witnessed a new female star with her eyes on a married producer, but was unable to close the deal and switched her target to the director. He saw them leave in pair and had no idea where they went. Siu Juen also said that when he first joined the TV station, he was twenty-four or twenty-five years old. A producer asked him to go for a drink together after work at 1 a.m., they ended up in a night club and he asked Siu Juen to pay the bill/ The amount was his salary for several months. He went home and told his father, and Brother Cheung (Sun Ma Si Tsang) called him dumb.

[2026.02.27] CRITCIZED AS "NOT PRETTY", FISH LIEW: DON'T DOUBT YOURSELF

Fish Liew is criticized as "not pretty enough" in the new film. Her gracious response earns her praises online
courtesy of on.cc

Fish Liew Chi Yu has recently received a lot of praise for her role as "Mamasan" in the movie, but some online pointed out that she was not beautiful. "Maybe she doesn't suit my aesthetics", which attracted heated discussions. Even Fish joined the fray, saying that everyone has a different eye for aesthetics; there is no need to doubt themselves. She successfully repelled haters. Meanwhile Edan's fans continued to sponsor designated theaters to watch movies for 8 bucks all day, pumping up the box office for their idol with actual action.

Since the release of the Hong Kong Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG), its box office and word-of-mouth have exploded. The popularity of the nightclub goddesses in the film has skyrocketed, among which "Mamasan Mimi" Liew Chi Yu was no exception. Her sexy style and beauty have won a lot of praise. However, a few days ago, some online posted that the outside world praised her too much and doubted, "Maybe she doesn't suit my aesthetics", which immediately attracted heated discussions. Even Fish also paid great attention to it and responded graciously, "Everyone has different aesthetics, so there is absolutely no need to doubt yourself."

Fish did not forget to share her aesthetics, bluntly saying that she was definitely not beautiful in the circle. She admitted that she felt inferior from time to time, but she added, "But low self-esteem is not beneficial, so I work hard to overcome it." She mentioned that she recently noticed on social platforms that many people praised her for her brilliant performance in the movie, and she humbly said: "The appearance has been very helpful to me with playing this role, with the deliberate red lips to get close to the feeling of 'sexy'. The camera, the lighting, the body language, the eyes, everything adds up to make Liew Chi Yu in this film feel particularly 'beautiful'." Afterwards she found out that the person has deleted the post and she felt sorry, emphasizing that it was just a rational discussion. In addition, "Kwai Fong" Choi Wai Kei with her less than fluent Cantonese in the film successfully broke through and was praised by the audience as "the most promising comedy star". Graduated from the Academy of Performing Arts, she has won many scholarships and won the "Outstanding Actor Award" for the stage play "THE ADDING MACHINE". Half a year ago she left her drama troupe and took jobs as a free agent.

Also a Lunar New Year film, the Edan Lui Cheuk On starred THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO) has had constant gossips since its release. The director has even spoken out for the "Heaven and Earth Showtime" scheduling. Fortunately the box office has continued to rise. Edan's fans have continued to work hard. In addition to chartering private screenings, they have also shared recommendations with relatives and friends and uploaded highlight clips, photos, etc., to assist in the promotion. The Edan Fan Support Association will rush back tomorrow to sponsor the all-day performances of designated theaters, and the audience can watch the movie for only HK$ 8. As of the Hong Kong box office record the day before yesterday, in first place NIGHT KING has a cumulative box office of HK$ 57,706,743, in second THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY has a cumulative box office of 11,489,833, and in third BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS has a cumulative box office of 5,602,988, while the box office of NIGHT KING in mainland China has exceeded 100 million yuan RMB (about 1.14 million Hong Kong dollars) yesterday.

Angela Yuen Lai Lam, Sabrina Cheung Man Sha, Ng Wing Sze, CY Chan Chung Chak, Max Cheung Tak Lun, Wu Cheuk Hei and Brian Lee Hoi Yin attended the premiere of "GAMER GIRLS: Unleash Your Heroic Soul" at MacPherson Arena the night before (25th), and the actors were full of confidence for the opening box office of the movie.

Kayan Ng promised that if there would be a good box office result, she would accept the audience's suggestion for the actors can do anything and she would try her best to satisfy everyone; Yuen Lai Lam felt that the best way to give back to the audience was to play video games together, and to meet the audience in a cosplay style at the meet- and-greet. She pointed out that the best video game player was CY, he also taught the girls to play video games during the filming. CY humbly submitted that Alma Kwok Yi Kwan was the video game expert. Among the girls, Yuen Lai Lam thought that she and Ng Wing Sze could be ranked second.

In the future each actor would have to attend audience appreciation screenings all over to pump up the box office. Yuen Lai Lam pointed out that she has been constantly thanking the audience at previous preview screenings, and Cheung Man Sha said that the film was selected for the "Bright Future" section of the 55th Rotterdam International Film Festival (for feature film that would make its debut on the screen internationally). Foreign viewers already discovered her connection to Kayan in the film after just one watch, but Hong Kong viewers had to watch it once more to discover this set up. This time the premiere took place at the McPherson Arena and everyone felt it was pretty special. Yuen Lai Lam admitted that the filming process was hard, and it was not a big production; but everyone liked the spirit of chasing dreams expressed in the film, continuing to fight even though they knew they would lose. "We all understand that the film market is very difficult now, and these small productions like ours would have a very difficult time to compete with others; so we all fight with the spirit of knowing that we will lose."

In addition, Kayan Ng's pay was delayed after attending the event earlier. She said that the progress was good and she has already received her pay, but she was not at liberty to disclose the actual figure. In short, it was a satisfactory result.

Brian served as the emcee the night before. Often foul mouthed, he laughed and said that he has been a wedding and large-scale event emcee in the past. He would know how to speak according to the occasion. For example now during the New Year he would greet people more. Recently he opened an online channel to share food, and invited Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Louis Cheung Kai Chung and others as guests. Brain said that in the future he would like to invite Louis Koo Tin Lok, Juno Mak Chun Lung and Eason Chan Yik Shun to dinner together. Would he ask Goo Jai to sing "Boyfriend" while eating? Brian said that he did not know how to sing, if Koo Tin Lok would be willing to teach him he would learn right away.

Taiwanese actors Liu Kuan-Ting, Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Tin Kai Man starred movie DOUBLE HAPPINESS held its premiere in Tsim Sha Tsui the night before. Liu Kuan-Ting even gave everyone New Year greetings in Canotnese. Many people in the circle also went to support the show that night, including John Chiang Dai Wai, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip and Zoe Yu Kit Ying.

DOUBLE HAPPINESS has collected NT$2.7 million (about HK$ 6.71 million) at the box office in just 6 days after its release in Taiwan, which Yu Heung Ying admitted was a little within expectation. She expressed confidence in the script and hoped the box office would exceed 100 million. She laughed and said that many people said they wanted to marry her after watching the film, and she was really flattered. "I have never received so many compliments in my life."

Regarding the accusation that she and Liu Kuan-ting were suspected of using foul language when filming the quarrel scene, Yu Heung Ying smiled and said that she did not if her memory served. "However everyone feels like I did, so I just let it be." Liu Kuan-ting tried to prove her innocence, and praised Yu Heung Ying and Tin Kai Man as very outstanding co-stars. If the Hong Kong audience liked his performance, he would be happy to come back to Hong Kong later to thank the audience. Yu Heung Ying promised that if the box office of DOUBLE HAPPINESS in Hong Kong would be able to reach HK$20 million, she would dress a wedding dress to thank the audience.

Tin Kai Man praised the film's premiere in Taiwan, turning the cinema into a wedding banquet venue and attracting a large number of onlookers. "Hong Kong should learn from it and interact more with the audience." Regarding the Hong Kong box office of the film, he pointed out that the most important thing is that the audience likes it. Yet he has paid attention to the recent scheduling turmoil of Hong Kong films, and he believed that good movies would naturally have supporters. When asked if he has invited his old friend Stephen Chow Sing Chi (Sing Yeh) to watch the movie, he said with a smile, "I have invited him, after congratulating on my film release he didn't respond. If he wants to watch he naturally would." When asked when Sing Yeh's new work WOMEN'S SOCCER will be released, Tin Kai Man said that he only knew that it will be released within this year. He laughed and said that he only cared about when Sing Yeh will give out lai see. He said that he saw the video of Lam Tsz Chung and his children trying to get lai see from Chow Sing Chi and got emotional. Tin Kai Man joked, "I called Fat Boy Chung and asked if his children took away all of Sing Yeh's lai see, because every year I would have Lunar New Year dinner with all of Sing Yeh's company colleagues. Sing Yeh would give lai see. He has never been cheap in this area. The $500 lai see has never gone up over 20 years. He doesn't know about inflation."

Lo Chun Yip and girlfriend Liew Chi Yu appeared one after another. Lo Chun Yip denied that Fish was mad because he has not yet given a Valentine's Day gift, explaining that although he had to start work that day he had dinner with Fish and the team in the evening. During the Lunar New Year was also busy thanking the audience and paying New Year visits. Have his family and friends urged him to get married? He smiled and said, "No, that's not popular now. (Did your girlfriend rush you to get married?) We don't walk at a rushing pace." He said that he has talked to Fish about getting married, but seemed to be uncertain about the scale of the weedding. "Making it big would cheerful, but I saw (Terrance) Lau Chun Him and (Cecilia) Choi Sze Wan's wedding format. It is rather light and worth considering." Liew Chi Yu attended her friend Yanny Chan Wing Yan's wedding and thought about an overseas wedding, but Lo Chun Yip joked that he had to save money first. Fish admitted that since her hometown is in Malaysia, if they would wed in the future they may need to set up banquets in two places. Currently work came first though. She hoped that NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) would have good box office results, so that film company owners would start more movies and they would have jobs and save money.

Liew Chi Yu was very happy that her NIGHT KING performance has received . Liew Chi Yu hoped that the original team would work together again. Philip Yung Tsz Kwong was upset that his film THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO) has been arranged "Heaven and Earth" showtimes, criticized "film schedule hogging" and took a beating. Liew Chi Yu was not at liberty to comment much, but thought that everyone had the right to express their own opinions and experience. "He very sensibly say what he thought, the most important is peace between everyone and wealth in the New Year. At THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY premiere, NIGHT KING members have attended in support."

Regarding Fish's earlier Best Actress nomination for this year's Hong Kong Film Awards for SOMEONE LIKE ME (JEUNG NGOR JEH YEUNG DIK OI CHING), the film was also nominated for the Hong Kong Screenwriters' Guild's "Best Film Character Award 2025", Lo Chun Yip said that he was happy for Fish and praised her outstanding results last year. Fish hoped that the team would make some gains, and even hoped that the movie would be re-released. Because the Tai Po fire tragedy took place during the release at the end of last year, peple lost their mood to enjoy the film. Was she confident that she would win? She joked, "Yes! I have confidence! Because it may be my only time in this lifetime, I have to have confidence in myself first!"

[2026.02.26] NICHOLAS TSE, JOEY YUNG LEAD ALL OF EMPEROR ENTERTAINMENT AT KAI TAK SHOW

Since its establishment on the eve of the millennium in 1999, Emperor Entertainment has entered the "25+" milestone this year, and has also witnessed the growth memories of different generations. The "25+ Emperor Ensemble Concert" will light up the main venue of Kai Tak Sports Park on May 4th, with a total investment of more than HK$ 100 million. At that time Emperor's artists will come out to stage a surprise cross- generational collaboration, so that the classic melodies that have accompanied everyone for 25 years will be shockingly reproduced in the form of creative collaborations. Nicholas Tse Ting Fung laughed and said that more than half of his life has been related to Emperor, and Joey Yung Cho Yee has regarded Emperor as her home and looked forward to using her "unique skills" to share with everyone the unique human touch and unity spirit of Emperor Entertainment.

The concert's subject is "Ensemble", and the core meaning of the concert is to co-create with peers, combining music, singing and performance, film, drama stage, dance and cross-border performances, etc., and is determined to build Kai Tak into a "century paradise", traveling with the audience through the past and the future.

The Chief Operating Officer of Emperor Entertainment Group Mani Fok Man Hei also shared, "Dr. (Albert) Yeung Sau Sing once said that where there are people, there is entertainment, and to connect with this land and people, I believe that concerts are the most direct and most accessible way to have fun with everyone."

As a member of the "original level" of the Emperor, Nicholas Tse said emotionally: "I grew up in Emperor, and I often laugh that more than half of my life is related to Emperor. Seeing the entire family has more and more new members joining in, I feel joy from my heart. I myself am looking forward to having collaborative sparks with them."

Yung Cho Yee said, "Since my official debut at Emperor Entertainment in 1999, I have grown with the company over the years; which is not only the starting point of my career, but also the starting point of my life. It is here I gained valuable family and friendship. For me, Emperor is my home, and boss, boss lady and every colleague are my family. I am very much looking forward to sharing with you the unique human touch and unity spirit of Emperor Entertainment through music and our 'unique skills' this evening."

The concert invited a lineup of hall-of-fame creators, including: the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Director and the chief director of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao National Games Andrew Lau Wai Keung to serve as the chief producer; multiple time Hong Kong Film Awards winner William Chang Shuk Ping to serves as the art director; and the master-class music producer who served as the music director for Tse Ting Fung's Kai Tak concert Carl Wong Sheung Chun.

Lau Wai Keung said, "Since its establishment in 1999, Emperor Entertainment has brought many popular classic songs to the Chinese world, and how to present the twists and turns and connections in stage and film techniques is a big challenge for me. I look forward to bringing a feast of multi-sensory enjoyment to the audience." Chang Shuk Ping believed that the lineup of film and television artists of Emperor Entertainment is huge, including many heavyweights and potential artists in the industry, and is of great importance in the global Chinese entertainment and cultural industry. Wong Sheung Chun said, "This collaboration with two heavyweights, based on the origin story of Emperor Entertainment, with a visually stunning and unexpected music lineup, runs through the classic period songs created by Emperor over the past 25 years, leaving a deep mark on the Hong Kong music scene, which can be regarded as a big breakthrough for me."

The main visual poster was designed by local illustrator sketchup, using hand-drawn small fresh style, depicting all the singer units under Emperor, capturing everyone's small expressions and small movements, showing their humorous nature.

    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.

During the Lunar New Year's "Snowball Draws", Sunnie was unable to place the bet, and that set of lucky numbers won a jackpot of HK$ 88.88 million.

    Not wanting to shatter grandmother's dream, Sunnie borrowed a villa from her filming colleague Jay Lai, claiming that it was purchased with the winnings. Sunnie's father, Ken Lam, mother Charlotte Tong, and younger brother Harry Lam, moved into the villa with her grandmother. Living together under one roof gradually healed their once-distant relationships and brought them closer. However, an unexpected incident ultimately revealed this well-intentioned "villa lie"...

The Philip Yung Tsz Kwong, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), MIRROR member Edan Lui Cheuk On, Chung Suet Ying, Jiro Lee Sheung Ching and Harriet Yeung Sze Man starred Lunar New Year film THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO) has been in release for a week but received "Heaven and Earth" screening schedules from cinema circuits. Yung Tsz Kwong has publicly questioned "film schedule hogging" and led to heated discussions. Fighting adversity, THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY has accumulated HK$ 10.68 million as of the day before. Some people have thought that Yung Tsz Kwong was playing for sympathy and emotional blackmail. He posted again yesterday that he would no longer respond to the scheduling turmoil, but insisted on the right to speak out. He lamented the naivety of independent film companies to want to find a way out for survival, "However saying that I don't really love Hong Kong movies is undoubtedly the most heartbreaking and disheartening to me." Yung Tsz Kwong complained about the scheduling problem, which some industry insiders said was a matter of business considerations and audience support. THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY's show ratio has increased recently. According to "hkmovie6" yesterday, NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) had 780 performances, and THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY exceeded 280 performances.

The Dayo Wong Tze Wah and Sammi Cheng Sau Man starred NIGHT KING led the way this Lunar New Year. Released on the Lunar New Year's Day (17th) to the day before (23rd), the film in Hong Kong and Macau has accumulated HK$ 48.76 million (excluding preview screenings), became the Hong Kong film with the highest first week box office in Hong Kong history, broke Wong Tze Wah's personal record and surpassed A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG) and THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK)'s first week box office. The Yung Tsz Kwong directed THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY opened on February 14th, with a cumulative revenue of 10.68 million as of the day before in second place, and the mainland hit BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS earned 5 million.

Yung Tsz Kwong, regarding the cinema circuit arrangements for "Heaven and Earth" showtimes for THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY after a week in release, made "film schedule hogging" accusations and "the promised win-win situation of Hong Kong films" comments caused heated discussions. Some have been supportive, but some also jeered and said that he was playing for sympathy and emotional blackmail. Yesterday Yung Tsz Kwong posted again, saying that he would no longer respond to THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY scheduling issue. Since it was able to lead to discussions, it would be left to the public opinion. "Speaking out is not a prejudice, but only saying what you feel about the reality you see. The business world is like this, and I have always emphasized that I only want space for survival. We don't have the it's either you or me mentality. For example this year, I have always been at peace with a second place position. I feel deeply in my heart, mainly because over the past few years, my brothers and I have worked hard to run a film brand that is committed to making our own films under the control of large companies and large groups, hoping to make a living. Yet my naivety and the difficulties of the actual situation are trivial to others."

Yung Tsz Kwong said that whether it was emotional blackmail, being a sore loser, or playing for sympathy, he has always insisted on the right to speak out and does not enjoy the oppression of being silenced. "However, as a speck of dust, ideas that are too idealized may only be regarded as vain and meaningless. If I encounter similar incidents again, particularly when I am not involved, I would still do my best to express myself. I have always been like this, tough but at the same time a glutton for punishment."

Yung Tsz Kwong said that he has been a film student all his life and a third-rate working class member in the film industry, "but saying that I don't really love Hong Kong movies is undoubtedly the most heartbreaking and disheartening for me." He expressed his gratitude to the distributor MCL and other cinemas for their support; saying that although the admission rate of THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY has not been the highest, the film still has many supporters and audiences who have gone to the movies due to word of mouth, "We will not give up, keep going."

THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY has no shortage of support from people in the circle, and guest star Louis Koo Tin Lok made a video to help with its promotion. He praised this movie about life and living, if thought of as just a comedy viewers would miss a good movie. Yung Tsz Kwong, executive director Ho Cheuk Tin have thanked audiences at several screenings a day with cast members. A few days ago, ViuTV's top star Johnny Hui (Keung Nei) and HOY TV's top star Jiro Lee Sheung Ching were on the same stage to thank the audience, which was a pleasant surprise for the audience. THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY has a strong guest star lineup, and reportedly heavyweight actors would thank the audience this weekend. THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY's screening ratio recently has increased. According to "hkmovie6" yesterday, NIGHT KING had 780 performances, and "Golden Treasure" exceeded 280 performances.

Yung Tsz Kwong complained about the scheduling problem, which some industry insiders said was a matter of business considerations and audience support. Among the three major cinema circuits Broadway, MCL and Emperor, because NIGHT KING is an Edko movie and the Broadway cinema circuit is Edko managed, the strategy has always been to arrange multiple screenings in one go, as with TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM) and A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG). THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY's "Heaven and Earth" showtimes have been concentrated on Broadway theaters, with more than 20 performances of NIGHT KING in one theater on the same day but only 2 to 3 performances of THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY. With Emperor although NIGHT KING has relatively more shows, THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY also occupies a certain ratio. Taking Times Square at Causeway Bay as an example, there are 14 shows of NIGHT KING and 5 performances of THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY.

Although THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNDAY is MCL distributed, among the number of performances of the two film NIGHT KING also has more than THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY. Today K11 Art House had 10 screenings of THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY and 14 of NIGHT KING . Earlier when BACK TO THE PAST opened with more than 1,481 shows and was described as "One Movie BACK", movies of the same period were also driven out. Yung Tsz Kwong, for the movie he directed THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY, stood up to complain about the scheduling problem but has been ridiculed as a publicity ploy.

The Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) opened last Tuesday, as of two days ago it has collected HK$ 48,768,984 in Hong Kong and Macau. According to the Hong Kong Box Office Co. Ltd. records, NIGHT KING has set a new Hong Kong and Chinese language film's first week box office record; in second was BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) with a Hong Kong and Macau first week box office of H$K 48,365,704; in third was the 2023 film A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG) with a Hong Kong and Macau first week box office of H$K 43,470,230.

The Louis Koo Tin Lok, Raymond Lam Fung and Jessica Hsuan (Suen Huen) starred BACK TO THE PAST since its release last year has maintained its strong moment. Koo Tin Lok continued to promote hard at audience appreciation screenings. Earlier the film even released an extended version to pump up the box office.

The Hong Kong Performing Artists Guild held the 2026 Spring Tea Gathering yesterday (24th) under the leadership of President Louis Koo Tin Lok (Goo Jai), Vice President Chin Kar Lok and a group of council members: Katherine Chau Ka Yee, Kaki Sham, Chui Chi Yung (Terence Siufay), Chiu Sin Hang, Yatho Wong, Bryant Mak Chi Lok, Bonde Sham Lok Yi, Cathy Cheng Man, etc., attracting more than 100 members to attend.

Helena Law Lan, Yu Mo Lin, Fung So Bo, Ting Yu, Lau Kong, Cheng Ho Wai, Anna Ng Yuen Yi, Leung Po Ching, Wong Ha Wai, Chan Min Leung, Wong Man Piu, etc. made an appearance in support, and the scene was chaotic. The general election of the 17th Council of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Guild was completed at the end of last year, with Goo Jai re-elected as president, Chin Kar Lok and Louis Cheung Kai Chung as vice presidents, Chau Ka Yee as secretary-general and Sham Lok Yi as treasurer, Kaki Sham and Chiu Sin Hang as directors, and Siufay, Lui Sum Yu (J.Arie), Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Neo Yau Hawk Sau, Peter Chan Charm Man, etc. joined as special invitation directors; talent was definitely everywhere. Since taking office as the President of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Guild, Goo Jai has been committed to protecting the rights and interests of performers with other council members, and has actively carried out various charity activities, including school tours and visits to senior centers.

This year, as in previous years, President Goo Jai distributed lai see to all members at the Spring Tea Gathering, and also distributed the Caring For Children Foundation sponsored lucky bags to all members. Candy Yu On On, Cheung Kai Chung, Chau Ka Yee, Hins Cheung King Hin, and Sham Lok Yi also sponsored on-site gifts and lucky drawing gifts, so that every attending member would return home with a full load.

In addition to the lucky drawing, the "Outstanding Performing Art Award" was also presented to Ng Yuen Yi, Ching Ho Wai and Lau Kong in recognition of their contributions to the entertainment industry over the years. The three of them received the award from the hands of Goo Jai and Chin Kar Wai, during which Ng Yuen Yi and Lau Kong coincidentally said that they were attending the Guild's activities for the first time. Lau Kong said sentimentally, "Thank you for not forgetting me. I am not used to participating in these events. I am more introverted. Today is my first time attending. I usually see everyone at TVB all day long, but it turns out that it is very difficult to meet if you are not at TVB. I am very happy to see everyone again today, thank you to the Guild for this award, I feel that I am not yet qualified." Ng Yuen Yi also thanked President Goo Jai and the directors for their great kindness. Ching Ho Wai said humorously when accepting the award, "I know the least about talking, but you actually want me to talk. I am very happy that I can still appear on camera at this age with this memory. Looking back at life until now, I feel I am the happiest now. I still have a job at the age of 75, I really can't imagine it, I have health and beautiful mood. Thank you Heaven for granting me wisdom and my appearance that can still be looked at somewhat. Thank you all!"

In addition, Sister Law Lan, who left TVB at the end of last year, was also present and full of energy. Many artists stepped forward to take photos with her and wish her Happy New Year, and asked about Sister Law Lan's health. She graciously said, "My legs are iffy. When the weather is humid, my legs will hurt. I don't dare to go around even during the New Year, I am afraid of the crowd. Now I am not shooting anything, I would recite the Lord's Prayer and Hail Mary at home. Friends would call to chat, TV has programs that teach people exercises, and I would follow the programs everyday to exercise for around half a hour."
