DaDa Chan Jing yesterday guest modeled at a wedding fashion show. Modeling 4 wedding gowns, she had many sexy style among them. DaDa admitted that she has not done a wedding fashion show in 4 or 5 years, because she was nervous she also tripped at the start of the show. Luckily she did not embarrass herself.

Yesterday DaDa looked thinner. She said that she did not deliberately lose weight, only that she easily got bloated. After she sweated it out it would be gone. Later she will work on a new film. She said that she would have to lose weight for her performance and she hoped to lose 10 pounds. Did she have to lose weight for a sexy performance? She said, "No, I haven't worked on anything like that in a long time. This time I would have mostly dramatic scenes. Actually I want to try action films but I am clumsy. I have to wait until my body is read to try that. Now I am a big girl now and I have done all the sexy scenes before. To me they would no longer be a challenge."

Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Isabel Chan Yat Ning and June Lam Siu Ha yesterday attended the LOVE OFF THE CUFF Original Soundtrack EP autograph session in Kowloon as their group in the film MKB48. At the event they not only played games with the fans but also personally designed their future MKB48's debut record cover. Chin Wa joked that their photos like wanted posters. Lam Siu Ha jokingly drew two cherries for Chin Wa, which Chan Yat Ning joked that she was making fun of her figure.

After playing the "overage Hermione" at her son Torres' fifth birthday, yesterday Chin Wa said that she had to be a "big age grl" to form MKB4 as "39+4". She felt that it could keep going. With their chemistry they could do a lot, like concerts, records, musicals and television series. They could even work on spin offs of those around Cherie.

Chin Wa also happily said that their song LEGEND has become a children song. She revealed that even her son was singing it. Later she took out her photo to show a video of her son saying LEGEND in the car. Chin Wa said, "My son knows that I was shooting a video of him. After two verses he said that he was done. I suspect that his classmates know how to sing it too. (Torres knows your songs?) I knows how to sing my songs, but in front of me he would sing other people's songs. He really is unpredicted like a Gemini."

Jan Tse Ch Lun earlier worked with Bob Lam Sing Bun, Don Li Yat Long and Raymond Chiu Wing Hung on the film GONG WU SAM SOR (3 MOB IDIOTS). Jan said, "This is our first collaboration, but we have great chemistry. The three of them are comedy experts, during the shoot we came up with a lot of funny spots together! This time my character is a Wise Girl. Although she stutters I have a lot of lines. I have to spend a lot of effort on how to grasp the stuttering but also for the audience to hear my lines clearly. After the wrap, I get used to stuttering. I have to spend some time to correct it! I like this character because I want to shake off my usual mild mannered character image. This time I got my fill of acting! The most memorable is the kidnapping scene. I am not brave at all. In the story I have to hit my co-star on the head with an umbrella. I am very afraid that I would hurt him, but if I hit too lightly it isn't convincing. He is very professional and tells me to just hit it. The scene is completed successfully, and I breathe a sigh of relief!"

Mainland film star Zhou Xun has been away from the film industry for 2 years. She worked on the film OUR TIME WILL COME (MING YUET GEI SI YAU) with Taiwan star Eddie Peng Yu-Yan. The film held a press conference in Beijing. Hong Kong director Ann Hui On Wa, Wallace Huo, Guo Tao and Jessie Li (Chun Xia) also attended.

Zhou Xun said that she wanted to experience Hui On Wa's thinking process and communication with actors long ago. On the set she was able to act in peace, "Everything is good." Peng Yu-Yan said that he was often bullied while in school in Canada. The subject of Chinese being bullied around the world should be introduced to even more people. He had a lot of fun to be able to participate.

All three male stars claimed to be Zhou Xun's fans. Peng Yu-Yan has worked with Zhou Xun on ALL ABOUT WOMEN but had no scene with her. Working together again, he admired very much that Zhou Xun was able to rely on "feeling" to act in the film. He called Zhou Xun "too handsome".

[2017.06.02] GORDON CHAN SAYS YASUAKI KURATA IS AS SHARP AS EVER

The Gordon Chan Ka Seung film GOD OF WAR will open in Hong Kong on the 15th. After years in preparation, the project's action and special effects reached international quality. As the Chinese title implied, this was a story about the war against piracy. The Ming Dynasty God of War and the famous pirate hunting general worked together with 3,000 soldiers to defeat the pirate fleet of 20,000.

Many of the pirates at the time were rumored to be Japanese who lost in battle but did not dare to kill themselves. Because they were too ashamed to see their family, they took to the sea. Thus many of them were not only chauvinistic but also loved to show off to balance their self pity inside. As the head of the pirates, Yasuaki Kurata and the young commander Keisuke Koide felt more righteous. Their fight scenes with God of War added a martial art expression of mutual admiration. Everyone knew about Yasuaki Kurata's martial art background. This time as the strongest villain he was beyond tough, wily yet bold, scheming yet remembering the honor of a gentleman. Chan Ka Seung and Big Brother Big Sammo Hung Kam Bo had nothing but praise for Yasuaki Kurata. "After so many years he is still agile, which is truly admirable!"

Earlier was Joyce Cheng Yun Yi's 30th birthday. Chan Suk Fun and a group of family and friends celebrated with her and made a Hong Kong Coliseum shaped birthday cake in hopes that Yun Yi would fulfill her dreams of a solo concert at the HK Coliseum and a Best Actress Oscar award! Yun Yi happily said that she really liked this birthday cake. He even asked, "Why does ths cake look so much like the HK Coliseum?"

In addition, the film 29+1 has been a critical and commercial hit since its Hong Kong and Macau release. Today the film opens in the Mainland. Earlier the team went to promote in Dongguan and held an outdoor event. Over 1,000 people attended. That day happened to be Yun Yi's "29+1" birthday. The event prepared a cake cutting ceremony on the stage for fans and Yun Y to celebrate together. Later the team went to many local cinemas for audience appreciation events. When they returned to rest at the hotel, director Kearen Pang Sau Wai after a surprise birthday party for Chrissie Chau Sau Na held another one for Yun Yi. When Sister Na and BabyJohn (Choi Hong Yik) pushed a cart with a birthday cake and champagne, she was both surprised and pleased. Everyone sang the birthday song. Yun Yi made a wish. "I wish everyone I know good health, happiness everyday, big box office success, and finding Mr. Right soon!"
