Aaron Kwok Fu Sing who just announced his relationship with his Shanghai girlfriend attended a men's magazine award party last night. He admitted that when life reached another stage he had to change his lifestyle, as he hoped that by announcing his relationship he would be able to receive everyone's blessing.

The Philip Yung Chi Kwong directed, Sing Sing, Michael Ning (Bak Ji), Jessie Li (Chun Xia) and Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling) starred film PORT OF CALL (DAP HUET CHUM MUI) performed well at many film festivals including nine Golden Horse Award nominations. The director and Bak Ji praised Sing Sing as the film's captain, responsible for leading the entire performance team.

Bak Ji made the jump from the stage to the film industry. They were drastically different performance methods. A play could have many rehearsals, a movie required getting into character immediately. He thanked the director, who in the end arranged for him to rehearse first before the official shoot so he would be much more at ease. Bak Ji in the film had intimate scenes with Chun Xia. Only he felt that Sing Sing's prison visit was the entire film's major scene. Facing this two time Best Golden Horse Best Actor Award winner, Bak Ji admitted that he had a lot of pressure.

Sing Sing said, "I understand that when he sees me he has pressure. Because I am a two time Best Actors, we aren't posing. Actually titles are just smoke and mirror, the most important how to perform well." Bak Ji for the character did a lot of homework, which he realized that by the shoot was useless. "He is the character, he already has locked onto me and makes me feel that the equipment and the crew on the set all disappear."

Tony Wong Yuk Long, Frankie Lam Man Lung, Vincy Chan (Wing Yi), Sherman Chung Shu Man, Ma Wing Shing and Albert Yeung Sau Sing yesterday attended a Qiandao Lake, Hangzhou and Jademan Superstar Culture Creative Amusement Park project investment agreement signing press conference. Man Lung described the project as both real estate and entertainment, he hoped that after the signing everything will go smoothly. He revealed that he has invested in Mainland property but wanted to take one step at a time. Speaking of his entertainment company's plan to make its second film early next year, he said that the script and the casting had changes. In addition earlier in the Mainland he met many industry insiders, so he might work on a new alliance project first. Aaron Kwok Fu Sing announced his new romance with a 27 year old model Moka Fang online, Man Lung said that earlier when he finished working on COLD WAR 2 (HONG JIN 2) with him he could already sense his joy. He felt that the age distance was not a problem, as few could tell that Sing Sing was already over 50. The most important would be their state of mind and communication. He also said that Sing Sing never announced his romance, he hoped that he would truly have good news.

Wong Yuk Long revealed that he planned to invest 800 million yuan. The amusement park will be related to his comic books, animation and films. He planned to work with superstars and comic book creators around the world. He said that for now he could not reveal too many details since he did not want anyone to steal his ideas. He pointed out that the Mainland policy promoted consumer spending, giving the park a great future. Yet finding an ideal location was the most difficult. Now that the national five A scenic area Qingdao Lake has been confirmed, he hoped to build a similar park in Hong Kong.

The Nick Cheung Ka Fai directed and starred new film KEEPER OF DARKNESS (TOR DEI KUI MOR YUN) performed decently. After five days it already passed HK$ 6 million at the box office. His "Brother" guest star Jacky Cheung Hok Yau also felt happy for Ka Fai. This time he guest starred as Death.

Ka Fai said that he put a lot of effort into Hok Yau's Death costume. He even revealed that early in the film preparation he has already saved the role for Hok Yau. He said, "From the start I already wanted to ask Ah Gor to play a role, but he is my brother so I have to give him a character of substance! When this character appears at the end of the story, I decided to cast Ah Gor in it. The impact would be greater!" Hok Yau praised Ka Fai's directing, but he never considered directing himself. He said that Ka Fai said directing was rather tough.
