Josie Ho Chiu Yi yesterday attended an award presentation. She spent Father's Day with her father Stanley Ho Hung Sun, who expressed that she would see her film DREAM HOME (WAI DOR LEI AH YUT HO). At first she was afraid that it would be too scary and would not let her father watch it. However many after watching thought it was fine so she was at ease. She pointed out that her father disliked war films the most. She is now planning a small romantic film that will start production in July. Earlier half sister Sabrina Ho Chiu Ying expressed an interest in film, would she ask her to guest star? She joked that if she was interested then she should not just guest star, perhaps they could form a heavy metal band. Was she afraid of upsetting their father? Chiu Yi joked that father instead would feel they were talented.

Anita Yuen Wing Yi expressed that her husband Julian Cheung Chi Lam has become much thinner because he was busy with Wong Kar Wai's new film. She said, "I don't know what Wong Kar wai told him. Now whatever he eats he has to weigh first and always work out until very late. His weight loss process seems to reach obsession level. He shrinks down day by day and I swell up day by day. I don't even know what role he is playing. When I called the film company to ask, they said it was none of my business."

TRIPLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG JI WONG) will be released on July 1. Chapman To Man Jat time and again went to revenge against Louis Koo Tin Lok. Goo Jai's character suffered mental disturbance with To Man Jat constantly threatening his life, putting Goo Jai in an intense life.

One scene made Goo Jai very nervous. Not only the director but also Ah Jat used a very exciting way to get Goo Jai into character. "That day the shoot took place in a gun club. I made a suggestion to the director and Goo Jai for him to point a real gun at my head. Everyone objected strongly when they heard because of the danger. Only under this condition though were we able to play our own roles with focus. Goo Jai with a real gun in hand no matter what would be extra careful. He even had to point the gun right at my temple while I held the barrel of the gun. At the time everyone on the set were so silent that I could quiet my and Goo Jai's heartbeats very clearly." Afterward, Ah Jat of course stated, "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared! However, for realism I can only go all out!"

She expressed that she did not know whether she and Liu Ye would have any kiss scene. She believed that Liu Ye was a little taller than her because they ran into each other in some public events before, but after landing this role they have not met or communicated.

The Louis Koo Tin Lok starred film TRIPLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG JI WONG) will soon open. Earlier Goo Jai in an interview expressed that he felt rather difficult and stressed from playing the sniper in the film. Did he want to learn to shoot after the production? He expressed probably not because he was rather busy and rarely had a chance to play. He said, "Actually each bullet costs several bucks. It's very costly spending, a little like burning money. I won't get a gun license."

However, before the shoot Goo Jai received shooting training. He said, "We the actors went to the shooting school. The training was very complete. When I was little I definitely have played with toy guns so I had actual interest. During practice we fired 20 shots one day. Only then did I feel the power of the gun." Goo Jai also excitedly expressed that during the training, he tried many different guns. The rifle was very powerful, its shot could be silent. As for the most memorable scene, he said, "In one scene over a dozen actors fired all at once. I think 500 shots were fired, luckily no accident occurred. Before the shoot we prayed." The film's title was somewhat similar to the Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing starred DOUBLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG). He explained that the two films had no connection.
