Two nights ago an ailing Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi worked until 10PM and rested until 7AM before returning to work on her new film THE LION ROARS 2 (HOR TUNG SI HAU 2). On the set Pak Chi reportedly would work for 16 hours and end the work day at 11PM. In order to return to Hong Kong to handle her family matter she had to take the earliest flight back to Hong Kong despite being sick.

The film investment company Asia Entertainment Group chief Yu Yuk Hing yesterday confirmed that Pak Chi would rush for the earliest flight out of Ningbo. Would Pak Chi see a doctor in Hong Kong? Yu did not directly respond, only saying that Pak Chi's primary concern was resolving her family matter. Did Pak Chi discuss the strategy with him? He said, "Right now I am not at liberty to give any advice, I am only worried about her health." Yu also said that Pak Chi said, "Don't worry, I can completely handle it! Even if I am ailing, as soon as I take my mark I become another person."

Pak Chi yesterday although somewhat worn down on the set but still looked great. While waiting for her shot she was chatting and laughing. The team revealed that Pak Chi mainly had to work on emotional scenes with lead actor Xiao Shenyang and second female lead Shen Fangxi. Fully in character, she delivered a simple line like "Then I am leaving" full of drama. No wonder director Joe Ma Wai Ho had nothing but praise for her. "She doesn't have too many bad takes!"

Meanwhile Nicholas Tse Ting Fung did not sleep much either as he tried to complete his production to see his sons in Hong Kong. Yesterday he worked until 6AM and returned to work four hours later until right before he went on his flight.

Donnie Yen Chi Tan's mother is Wai Ying Hung's mentor. Siu Hung and Chi Tan have known each other for over 20 years. In the Peter Chan Ho Sun directed WU XIA they finally worked together for the first time. In the film they personally performed their own fight scenes that were thrilling and exciting, luckily they did not have any accident. Siu Hung now talked about it at ease; but running around on the roofs of Yunnan ancient city houses 2800 meters above the sea level with the end being a cliff, she was done for if she could not stop in time. She said, "Running ahead of me Chi Tan often turned around to look at me, worrying that I really couldn't stop in time."

Shooting in the thin mountain air, breathing was already difficult. They even had chase and duel, which made it even harder. Thus during the shoot Siu Hung fell due to a lack of oxygen and lost a piece of her right kneecap. Although the wound was treated immediately, it was still infected and left a dark scar. She showed off the scar on her knee cap and said, "The wound was even darker before, even powder couldn't cover it up. Only after four laser treatments it wasn't as dark, but the scar could still clearly be seen."

In another thrilling scene she and Chi Tan fought in a cow shed and was almost rammed to death. Siu Hung said, "I never imagined that I really almost was trampled to death. Because I was fighting between six cows, the cows were threatened and went wild. Two crushed me. At the time I heard my rib went and felt a chill. I was worried that something happened. The stunt professional led away the cows and ran over to save me." Luckily her rib was not broken, and director Chan Ho Sun and Chi Tan praised her. Siu Hung said, "I was somewhat comforted!"

The film MAGIC TO WIN (HOI SUM MOR FAT) stars Raymond Wong Pak Ming, Wu Chun, Yan Ni, Louis Koo Tin Lok and Wu Jing. This time the costume designer was Yu Ka On. Boss Wong Pak Ming's costume stood out the most. This time Wong Pak Ming in the film played professor who was a magician in disguise. In order to make his image stand out, Wong Pak Ming dyed his head blond and even raised it on its hairs to look like a Saiyan.

Wong Pak Ming said, "At first I was a little resistant toward this image. Ultimately I am not young, dying all my hair blond took some getting used to. So in the first week I would wear a hat when I went out. However after the film production began, I thought this image truly was very helpful to get into the magic world."

Wu Chun's image of course had to show his coolest side, so the design was mainly trendy. Because Wu Chun in the film had wire work and many action scenes, his costumes all required alternations and small contraptions to coordinate with the action scenes and the super power scenes. Wu Chun said, "I have never made a movie about magic, so everyday on the shoot felt very interesting. I can enjoy having super power in the film production process, which is really rare and fun."

Theresa Fu Wing and young models Hidy, Dada and Mia yesterday attended the film BEACH SPIKE (YIT LONG KAU OI JIN) promotion. Mia successfully stole the attention with her low cut dress. Luckily Fu Wing had many fans who cheered for her. Fu Wing even personally sold tickets and gave away film posters to fans.

Speaking of how Mia dressed yesterday, Fu Wing said, "I understand! Many models are putting out photo books this year, they have to fight for more exposure. I hope she develops successfully." Did she mind having the attention taken from her? She sourly said, "I won't use this way. She has a great figure, it's OK to bring it out to cool down!" Did she not need to "cool down"? She said only at important events. Normally it was infrequently seen. In addition she has always been able to tolerate heat. Reporters said that earlier at the premiere she had "career line" too. She explained that because while working in the Mainland she got sunburn and tan lines so it gave reporters the wrong idea. She said, "I don't have D cup figure, but I am much better than the AAA cup when I first started. Now I have already left the letter A." How would she repay the fans if the box office performance was good. She said that the actresses might all wear bikinis and play beach volleyball with fans.

Mia was asked whether she was afraid that being accused of stealing attention. she said that she was not because they were the real leads, she could not steal their attention. She also said that although the film had many sexy performances, they were the healthy kind of sexy. she planned to bring her children to watch the film. In the film she played a pretty girl, she hoped to work toward Sandra Ng Kwan Yu's direction.

[2011.07.07] AILING CECILIA CHEUNG STARTS WORK

Yesterday Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi officially began work on her new film. As soon as she got out of bed she was nauseated and looked much thinner. Yesterday Pak Chi began work on her new film THE LION ROARS 2 (HOR TUNG SI HAU 2) for the first time. She appeared to be in good spirit and when she was not on the set she played with her phone. Originally frail Pak Chi looked even thinner and was nauseated early at work.

Yesterday, Cheung Pak Chi arrived at the Xiangshan film and television city's Spring and Autumn Warring State city to start work. She was already in make up when she arrived. The team in order to coordinate with Pak Chi had guards at the film city gates, stairways and corners to fully prevent the media from disturbing Pak Chi. Even so, reporters still did their best for a peek of Pak Chi at work. With make up bruises on her left cheek and left corner of her mouth, Pak Chi looked occupied with herself. Often she would flash a smile and attentively studied the script with director Joe Ma Wai Ho.

Despite her appearance, Pak Chi has been nauseated since work began and looked frailer than before. A worker revealed, "Pak Chi is still sick. She vomited at the hotel. Actually since she came back from Milan she has been sick." The worker also said that Pak Chi in order to keep from hindering the progress worked until late at night as scheduled. She did not ask to return to Hong Kong to see a doctor either as she was very professional. The worker also said, "It's very hot here, Pak Chi really is having a hard time. Art director (William) Chang Suk Ping already tried to make some lighter costumes for her so she wouldn't have to suffer in the heat and the sun."

LION's investment company Asia Entertainment Group chief Yu Yuk Hing also confirmed that Pak Chi was sick. "She got up around 7 for work, soon she started vomiting. However she has been quite professional. The workers asked her if she needed to go to the hospital, she only took a sip of water and rested before continuing. She has quite an actor's ethics."

Yu guessed that Pak Chi still had the flu, got up earlier, the heat and dieting for the new film costumes made her sick. He joked that Pak Chi even had the Mayor of Ningbo under her spell. "The Ningbo Mayor was visiting nearby. As soon as he found out Pak Chi was working at the film and television city, he personally visited the set. The Mayor very happily chatted with Pak Chi and said that he admired her and thought she was very professional."

Supposedly the team complained about Pak Chi taking time off. Yu denied it and said, "Absolutely not! As I have said, right now it is only the break in period, the scenes would be very easy going. Her time off wouldn't affect progress."

The Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Jessica C. and Theresa Fu Wing starred film BEACH SPIKE (YIT LONG KAU OI JIN) two nights ago held a premiere. Young models in the film gave their all with super low cut looks to get attention. Among them Jeana Ho Pui Yu and Mia were the sexiest, but speaking of attention, Fu Wing and Law Chung Him who were rumored to be at odds again were one of the focuses as well.

The cast shared production experience and host the ceremony, but Law Chung Him and Fu Wing went on the stage separately and had no exchange at all. Between them was actor Lam Chi Sin. Obviously they were somewhat awkward and at odds. Later at the media's request they graciously posed for a photo together. Fu Wing two nights ago also made a rare sexy appearance. Did she had to show off her figure in front of former rumored boyfriend Law Chung Him? She said, "Absolutely not." She said that she was not at odds and said that with the right script she would not mind working together. She said, "Work is still work, I wouldn't mind working with anyone." Has she already forgiven Him Jai? She said that now her life is great and often maintains an optimistic state of mind.

Law Chung Him stressed that he was not embarrassed, only that everyone paid too much attention on whether they were looking at each other. He honestly said that since they were rumored to be at odds, two nights ago was their first time sharing a stage. Yet with the suitable job he would not mind working together either. They were not at odds and he hoped no one would feel like that anymore. How did he know what Fu Wing thought? He pointed out that Fu Wing was very gracious and would not be like this. Reporters said that Him Jai stuttered during the interview. He honestly said really and was all red.

As for Chau Sau Na said that she also had "career line" on her despite the junior colleagues stealing the show. She said, "Today I am saving it for everyone to see in the cinema. The movie is about volleyball. I know everyone would set the ball, but someone has to go for the kill. In the film I am killing this spot." Would Chrissie give the chance for the juniors to be sexy? She said that she just returned from Beijing and got sick. She also said that she lost her luggage at the airport and was the most concerned about the birthday present from her boyfriend, a handbag. Luckily she found it again.

Young model Jeana two nights ago said that she also guest starred in the film. She just wanted to learn and the premiere was important to her. Speaking of stealing the show for elders, she said that she only wanted to look a little prettier. She said that she would be sexy and hoped everyone would pay attention to her pictorial collection. She also said with the right script she would not hold back. Mia said that she invited three former boyfriends and was not worried that they would be jealous as they were still friends.
