As for having her cheek caught between someone's chest, she said, "During the shoot all the male workers came to watch, but the feeling was very ordinary because what they have I have too." William joked, "I don't want my face caught because I wouldn't be able to breathe." A fellow beauty pageant candidate in the film, Kwan Yu did not have to wear swimwear. She said, "In my teens I worked in a swimwear scene with (Maggie) Cheung Man Yuk, (Chingmy) Yau Suk Ching, (Elizabeth) Lee Mei Fung and others, now I have to support the younger generation." Would Kwan Yu be willing to wear swimwear for a high price? She said, "Actually I don't mind because my 'career line' (cleavage) is very strong. If I pay for Wong Jing to wear one then it would be better."

JUST ANOTHER PANDORA'S BOX (YUET GUONG BO HUP) two nights ago held its premiere. Ada Choi Siu Fun, Wong Cho Nam, Stephy Tang Lai Yun, Alex Fong Lik Sun, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Jeff Lau Chun Wai and Gigi Leung Wing Kei attended. Reportedly Ada was pregnant, which she immediately denied. "No such thing, let's wait for Heavenly Father's arrangement. Now we are indeed hard at work, it's not something that we can control. It's not something that you can ask for." Ada pointed out that her husband has been busy with a television series in the Mainland, she too will soon promote a new series. Thus they had no time for procreation. Reporters found that she was much chubbier, Ada said, "Working on a series in the Mainland has been 'fresh' for me, I got a little fatter. Even if I am not procreating I still have to keep fit, I have no reason to destroy my body."

Ada boasted that her recent short hair cut was very invigorating. Reporters asked if she got the cut to procreate. She said, "Can you drag them together like that? I know my own pain. If I am pregnant I would get a crew cut. Then the belly should be the size of a basket and everyone will be able to tell just from looking."

When reporters talked about Stephen Chan Chi Wan's case, Ada immediately changed the subject. Recently a magazine caught Ada with her friend Gigi Lai Chi and even claimed that Lai Chi took fertility shots to carry twins. Did she invite Lai Chi to the premiere? She said, "I asked many friends, anyone who came was already inside. If they aren't free they wouldn't come." Has she talked about children with Lai Chi? She said, "She is my good friend, I care about her so I would protect her. Talking less is the best, thank everyone for their concern for me and her. (Is Lai Chi carrying twins?) Everyone please watch JUST ANOTHER PANDORA'S BOX, you get the news sooner than I do. I have read the report and still have no idea where it came from." Leung Wing Kei said that she only invited her fans and her brother to the premiere. Will her
boyfriend see the film? She said that he will go on his own.

The Wang Leehom's debut as a director, LUEN OI TUNG GO (LOVE NOTE) is in production in Shanghai. The first time director honestly said that the stress has been enormous, fortunately the crew has given him a lot of confidence. Actress Joan Chen even praised Wang Leehom that he will be a big director in the film. Wang Leeehom said, earlier when he worked on LUST CAUTION and LITTLE BIG SOLDIER, he learned from Ang Lee and Jackie Chan a lot of directing technique.

Joan Chen expressed that when Wang Leehom was making the film, sometimes he would buy fruits and snacks for everyone. Obviously he has inherited that from Jackie Chan. When asked whether Wang Leehom threw any tantrum on the set, lead actress Liu Yifei said, "Does he look like he would throw a tantrum?" Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun) and Wang Leehom both are creative singers and both have become directors. Was Wang Leehom afraid of the comparison? He said, "Chow Kit Lun has Chow Kit Lun's style, I too am my own style."

I am only a performing art worker, privately we don't have any special split. When we see each other we treat each other with courtesy, we won't be at odds." As for Chan Chi Wan's Independent Commission Against Corruption arrest, Chim Shui Man expressed that it did not need to be worried about.

The film was Ah Gil's first after the "sex photo storm". Although she would like to participate in the promotional tour, her image on the poster was changed. Ng Kwan Yu who was also removed only appeared briefly in the film and had much less screen time than Ah Gil. Lau Chun Wai was
asked about why Ah Gil was replaced, he surprisingly expressed that he had no idea and even said that he had to get an understanding first. Was he worried that Ah Gil will be replaced? He said, "Maybe it has been communicated, if it is then it's fine." Ronald and Gigi also did not know that Ah Gil was replaced. Ronald pointed out that the film has already passed the Mainland inspection and believed that it was not done over concern of Ah Gil's ban. Eric Tsang Chi Wai who originally planned to attend the event was suddenly absent. Even the film company was unable to find him.

Leon Lai Ming in the Dante Lam Chiu Yin directed FIRE OF CONSCIENCE (FOR LUNG) had many dangerous action scenes that he personally performed. In one scene Lai Ming and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) face off in a fire, and the scene also has a car explosion. During the shoot both had difficulties, Siu Chai even had to be crushed under a car. Finally Lai Ming saves him.

Aside from this duel, in another scene Lai Ming has to jump from high up. Lai Ming knows that these scenes would be dangerous. Although the team has already taken the full safety measures, during the gas explosion scene the director first arranges for the stunt professionals to try the stunt once. Once it is safe and reliable then the actors personally perform. One time a stunt professional is injured during the test and is hospitalized for three days, which Lai Ming feels very unease about. However, although the stunts are dangerous Lai Ming still tries to personally perform them in hopes of the best result.

[2010.03.12] CARINA LAU REPORTS TO TONY LEUNG ABOUT BED SCENE?

courtesy of singtao.com

Carina Lau Ka Ling earlier worked on the Jiang Wen directed LET THE BULLETS FLY in the Mainland. In the film Ka Ling wore the William Chang Suk Ping designed Republic see through costume. Not only did she make a fashion breakthrough, Ka Ling also had a "wet" passion scene that Jiang Wen had to clear the set for. Ka Ling's "sacrifice" reportedly also "alarmed" her husband Tony Leung Chiu Wai enough to personally supervise in Beijing. However the team said that it never saw Wai Jai, only Ka Ling on the phone nonstop on the set. Conceivably she was reporting everything in detail to Wai Jai.

The Jiang Wen directed and starred LET THE BULLETS FLY also had Lau Ka Ling and Ge You. Ka Ling's costumes were the responsibilities of her friend Chang Suk Ping, who even designed a Republic era see through costume. Earlier when the shoot wrapped, Ka Ling and Ge You shot a passion scene. Director Jiang Wen even ordered to clear the set, leaving on the cinematographer and light technician. Everyone else had to leave the set. Only the director saw the re-play.

Reportedly due to this passion scene, Wai Jai who was working on THE GRAND MASTER (YUT DOI JUNG SI) in Northeast China had to personally supervise in Beijing! However the team said that Wai Jai did not appear. Ka Ling was always on the phone and looked very nervous, conceivably she was reporting the details to her husband.

After the completion, Jiang Wen even treated Ka Ling and Ge You to dinner as a show of appreciation. Jiang Wen expressed that the entire shoot was very smooth, Ka Ling and Ge You were great actors who did not only pursue exposure. They were extraordinary meaningful.

Reportedly, the shoot took place indoors. The entire room only had a big bed that was covered with valuable embroidered quilt, with two small lanterns on its side. The setting had quite a Republic tone. Ge You expressed, this scene was quite a challenge for him. While waiting on the set he still did not have any free time, as he was busy stretching and doing mad push ups. Even when the crew joked with him, Ge You shook his hand and said, "This is very serious!" After Ka Ling arrived on the set, they had quite a chemistry since they have been working together for awhile.

Because it was a closed set, the details remained unknown. A worker said, "The room was noisy the whole time, each time Ge You's hair would be a mess, his arms covered his lower body as he ran out covered in sweat. His expression and gestures were very funny. Then Ka Ling held two large silver balls and followed. I have no idea what the director has planned because the director told everyone not to laugh. The atmosphere seemed very tense." The crew was shocked that in the afternoon, Jiang Wen personally performed. At the time everyone thought he was demonstrating for Ge You and Ka Ling, but he suddenly added himself into the scene. Jiang Wen expressed, the story required it and he did not deliberately add any scene.
