The Fortune Buddies appeared as wrestlers, with an athletic support Wong Cho Nam even stuck out and stole the show.

The cast of FORTUNE BUDDIES yesterday gathered at Shaw Film City, but lead Chi Wai was one hour late. He explained that he had to dye his hair blond for shoot continuity. Chi Wai just returned from shooting SUPER TRIO in Japan. He honestly said that this time he bled out and returned with six suitcases worth of goods, spending at least several hundred thousand. In addition friends kept joining in, everyday he was either seeing someone off or welcoming someone. Every night he was treating at dinner. However the pointed out that this time he went to stimulate the local economy so spending money was no big deal. He said, "This time I was the big spender, quite a big shot."

The Fortune Buddies yesterday appeared in tight fitting wrestling costumes so their physiques were in total display. Cho Nam's was the tightest as his lower body stuck out. Cho Nam honestly said that he had something extra. Because he had to shoot wrestling scenes he added an athletic support for prevention. Why did Cheung Jai not wear one? He joked that he needed to relax when not shooting because the support plastic was very hard. Cho Nam pointed out that the support was just like a bra for a woman, it was not too comfortable either. Lee Si Jit joked that he was very excited all day so he did not wear a support. Cheung Jai also pointed out that in the film he had to fight real professional wrestlers. Cheung Jai joked, "When I stood next to them I immediately became scrawny, they were even able to pick up Lam Suet." Cho Nam said that a wrestler was two heads taller than him. Did they learn to wrestle before the shoot? They joked that they learned how to be slammed.

Cheung Ho Yi in the film played Chi Wai's old flame. In the film she not only had to seduce Chi Wai but also take a slap from Wong Siu Fung and a wrestler. She said that wrestler pushed her very lightly and she already was seeing stars. Did she have any intimate scene with Chi Wai? She jokingly frowned and said, "Oh, yes!" However she declined to reveal the detail, only saying that this was already the second time that she played Chi Wai's other half. Earlier in another film she already played his wife.

Speaking of the Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi marriage troubles, Chi Wai said that every home had its own set of problems. As an outsider he would not comment. He thought that with some things only the two of them knew right or wrong. If they were incompatible, breaking up would be a good thing as well. If they held on for their children, everyone's lives would be tough. He pointed out that both Ting Fung and Pak Chi were able to work, the children would be fine with either one.

Wong Cho Nam, Yuen Siu Cheung and Johnson Lee Si Jit two nights ago wrestled in Mongkok for their film THE FORTUNE BUDDIES (GAING CHAU FUK LUK SAU). Veteran actor Lam Suet even went topless. As over a hundred pedestrians looked up, Fala Chen even slapped Lee Si Jit angrily.

The most attractive was the wrestling scene. Lam Suet, Yuen Siu Cheung and others had doubles for their action scenes. Only Wong Cho Nam personally performed. In a tiger head gear he said, "Because I am a wrestler who is a little mental challenged, I am pretty lame so I don't have to need a double!"

Ordinarily lively, he did not smile perhaps due to exhaustion. Only when he was on his mark he was alert to "give his all".

Lee Si Jit brought his "rumored girlfriend" Spring Roll Wang Bobo to work. She even attentively brought him a drink. Although they did not officially admit that they were dating, their close relationship did not need any description! Shooting in the heat, Lee Si Jit did not complain. "I treat sweating like losing weight!" He and Cheung Jai kept looking at the playback and gave their opinions. Cheung Jai happily said about the crowd, "It's like having more extras, the scene would look better." Fala Chen appeared in flip flops around 11PM and played an angry slap scene with Lee Si Jit. She often advised the less experienced actors.

Janice Man Wing Shan for the Roy Chow Hin Yeung directed DAI JUI BO (BIG CHASE) spent three months to train with a piano instructor to jump from grade zero to play grade eight music. Although Janice played until her wrists were sore and her nails broke, like Nick Cheung Ka Fai who lost weight for this film she was in a hellish training.

Two Best Actors Cheung Ka Fai, Simon Yam Tat Wa along with popular idol Janice Man, Kay Tse On Kay, Michael Wong Man Tak, Ken Hung Cheuk Lap, and Yumiko Cheng Hei Yi starred suspense thriller DAI JUI BO will start work in mid July. In it Janice would play a depressed young woman whose father expertly trained her to play the piano. She was tangled in a relationship with Cheung Ka Fai. To play the character more convincingly, director Chow Hin Yeung arranged for her for a Royal Academy graduate piano instructor and piano prince Chan Jun Hin to teach her piano techniques and performance formats. Janice after practicing night and day at home and at the studio had nothing but sheet music, fingering and Chopin music in her mind. She joked, "Originally in Grade Zero, I have been trained to be full of the musical gene!"

Piano prince Chan Jun Hin was surprised at her energy and talent because the song that the director asked Janice to practice was exceedingly difficult, only performance grade pianist would choose to play it. Even a Grade 8 piano player might not be able to play it. Although the training was difficult, Janice enjoyed it. Janice said that when she was little her mother also asked her to learn the piano. In secondary school she played the violin in the school orchestra so she had interest in music. When the director asked her to play this character she found it very attractive. In particular she had to play Chopin music that only a Grade 8 piano player could perform, which was very exciting.

During the special training, Janice had to trim her nails as soon as they grew so her fingers could be closer to the piano keys. The team even bought her a electronic keyboard so she could practice at home after class.
