Donnie Yen Chi Tan two nights ago attended a BWM event. Recently Yen Chi Tan was reported as taking great care of his former wife and their teenager son and even giving a HK$10 million mansion to her.

Chi Tan said that his former wife and son are not in the business and hoped that the media would give them of space to live. He felt that as a father he naturally had the responsibility. He appreciated his former wife for taking care of their son over the years. Reportedly he gave his former wife and son HK$50,000 of living expense monthly and a mansion. He said that the report exaggerated, he only did what he should do and did not need to tell others. He wanted to be a responsible man as much as possible. His current wife Cissy Wang is also very supportive of what he is doing and has been very gracious; his children often get together as well and have decent relationships. Speaking of his son Jeff winning the Hong Kong school drama contest best screenplay and best director awards, Yen Chi Tan said, "I hope he has inherited my gene. I would encourage my son to choose his own interest, no matter what his direction in the future will be, I will be supportive."

Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, Huang Xiaoming, Korean girl group Girls Generation's Soo Young and Yuri last night attended a fashion event. Earlier accused of being at odds, Joey Yung Cho Yi and Denise Ho Wan Si also appeared. Cheung Man Yuk stated that reporters could only ask her one question in advance.

When asked about her recent work and life, Maggie joked, "This one is many questions in it! Now I am working on music, editing and song writing. (Are you focused on work?) I have always been working, you can't say that." Has she found someone new? She said no and the public relations team dragged her away.

Earlier rumored to be at odds, Ho Wan Si and Joey last night appeared at the same event but arrived separately. Would they chat? Ah Si said, "Actually we have always been seeing each other." She said that she knew Joey would be here, their relationship has always been great. They were friends and had normal contact.

Huang Xiaoming said that he has always seen Angelababy's TAICHI and praised Baby's performance as improving and the most excellent actress of the new generation. He on Luisa Lai Chi San's program silently admitted Baby's girlfriend identity. "Did I? (You described her as a girlfriend?) No. I only feel she is great." Why did he not publicize his relationship? He said, "Next question. (Is it because of your idol status?) I don't think I am an idol, I have already performed in many substance roles."

Eddie Peng Yu-Yen and Angelababy yesterday attended the TAICHI HERO press conference in Shanghai. Director Stephen Fung Tak Lun, Tony Leung Ka Fai also promoted the film.

Yesterday Angelababy was asked if she had any advice for meeting someone, she said, "If I haven't run into anyone I like, I would rather be alone than promiscuous." She even revealed that her perfect dream romance would be love at first sight. "When two people meet they would feel they get along very well, they don't need to think too much about anything else. Naturally they would become fond of each other, love has to have love." Fung Tak Lun revealed about Peng Yu-Yen, "He has had yin yang imbalance for three years!" Ka Fai said that because he loved Peng Yu-Yen he was looking for "an item" for him.

Peng Yu-Yen yesterday looked darker and thinner, quite different from his pale faced scholar look in TAICHI. He said that because in the film Baby's character wanted him to be more manly, so he got a tan. His change was actually the preparation for a new film.

The Hong Kong Performing Artist Guild organized 2012 costume party took place two nights ago in Tsim Sha Tsui. Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Irene Wan Bik Ha, Jade Kwan Sum Yin, Samantha Ko Hoi Ning, Koni Lui Wai Yi and others attended. Ko Hoi Ning and Lui Wai Yi both showed off their career lines, Lui Wai Yi even daringly bent off in front of Chi Wai. Later Chi Wai posed for photos with her and Ko Hoi Nin, stuck in the middle Chi Wai mischievously extended his hand to pretend to support their chest. Chi Wai revealed that the event had over 40 tables. Because the Guild did not have any party last year, this year many inquired and raised the prices. They already had over 1 million from table sales alone.

Kwan Sum Yin dressed as Faye Wong and even Chi Wai did not recognize her. She boasted that the look was very successful. She was not worried about being accused of plastic surgery because she disguised herself with special effect make up. She also said that the hardest part of playing Faye Wong was her eyes and her mad look, her voice was easier to imitate. Wan Bik Ha said that recently she has been busy with the TRIAD (JAT JIK) promotion, earlier she did 8 interviews straight. When she got home she had chills and a fever. Luckily after one night of rest she was much better. Did her husband ask her to rest more? She said, "I suspect that he infected me because he was sick a few days ago. In addition we are both so busy and flying all the time. The temperature change makes getting sick easier." Rose Chan Ka Wun appeared in a Black Swan look and said that her father spent an afternoon to help her with her eye make up.

Fresh Wave 2012 International Short Film exhibit yesterday held a press conference. Johnnie To Kei Fung as the Hong Kong Art Development Council Film and Media Art committee chair attended with Andy Lau Tak Wa, Joe Cheung Tung Cho and Fruit Chan Gor. The short film exhibit will take place between the 23rd and December 2 at the Yau Ma Tei Broadway film center with 26 shows of 46 short films.

Lau Tak Wa originally planned to attend the opening ceremony in support, but because he will be the Golden Horse jury chair in Taiwan he instead personally appeared at the press conference. He ran into several new directors who introduced themselves to him. Wa Jai said that he would ask his company to get an understanding and make contact. As for his first time as the Golden Horse Award jury chair, Wa Jai will have to stay in Taiwan for around ten days to watch all the nominated films then evaluate them. Would he have any favorite and would he give Hong Kong films more points? Wa Jai said no comment but he heard that this year's film quality was very even, the selection should be very hard. He would watch all the movies before making any decision. Wa Jai has been a Golden Horse Best Actor also nominated many times. Did the nomination make him more nervous than being on the jury? Wa Jai admitted that he would be more nervous on the jury because this represented the entire Golden Horse Award. He would not only provide his personal opinion but also would study past year's jury standards. Yet so far he was still unclear. This year Lau Ching Wan, Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Nick Cheung Ka Fai were in competition for Best Actor, would it be hard for him to choose? Wa Jai said, "It will definitely be fair, and it's not just my decision alone. The competition rules are rather fair!" Will he miss his family and daughter while staying in Taiwan for 10 days or will his family travel with him? Wa Jai smiled and said, "I will tell you on another day!"

To Kei Fung has put an effort into cultivating behind the scene film new blood and even revealed that through government assistance he planned to make a movie that several new directors will direct next year. Hopefully the script will be completed this year for production next year. He also communicated with some actors and hoped that their salaries would be discounted to reduce production cost.

Taiwan artists Ko Chen Tung yesterday along with his new film WHEN A WOLF FALLS IN LOVE WITH A SHEEP (NAM FONG SIU YEUNG MUK CHEUNG) lead actress Chien Man-Shu appeared on a radio interview. Two female fans were lucky enough to take a photo with them. A fan suddenly asked for a hug from Ko Chen-Tung, which he was somewhat embarrassed about but still agreed.

Ko Chen-Tung on this trip will also attend Hong Kong Asian Film Festival events. Because WOLF will be one of the opening films he will attend to see the audience's reaction. Earlier Ko Chen-Tung posted a photo of him smoking and later removed it. Did his company yell at him? He said no, he was always in good spirits but was afraid of trouble. He removed it. He said, "Too many disturbances, too many comments." He said that he has already started smoking in high school. Although his manager did not yell at him, the messages wowed him. From now on he would smoke less.

Was he afraid of affecting his image? Ko Chen-Tung said, "It's fine, but Mama doesn't want me to smoke." Earlier he also posted online that he was unable to be the perfect idol in everyone's hearts. He said that his individuality and thinking were different from everyone thought and it had nothing to do with romance. Did his rumored girlfriend Elva Hsiao (Siu Ah Hin) comfort him? Ko Chen-Tung heard her name and immediately laughed. "Thank you." Ko Chen-Tung said that on this trip he wanted to try Hong Kong food. Speaking of the recently available big crabs, he said that this month he already had 60.
