The 41st Top Ten Chinese Gold Song Concert took place last night. Broadcast Authority chief Leung Ka Wing presented the Global Chinese Gold Song award to Supper Moment's ORANGE SEA. The Most Excellent Male Pop Singer went to Hins Cheung King Hin, the Most Excellent Female Pop Singer went to Kay Tse On Kay. Including the earlier Ultimate and Metro Radio awards, Hin Jai has won 10 awards to become the biggest male singer winner. Tse On Kay became the female singer big winner.

Group Supper Moment received the Global Chinese Gold Song. The band happily said that this was too exaggerated because they never thought about winning such a big award. Their goal was very suitable for this award, as they hope to bring their music and performance out of Hong Kong. Last year they were able to perform a concert in England and introduce themselves to people overseas. When Supper Moment performed ORANGE SEA, they sang to the audience, "The venue prohibits silence, everyone raise your hands and fill this place with love!"

The "Most Excellent Male Pop Singer" Cheung King Hin said, "This has been a harvest year, with the support of a good team and good songs we went through storms together. I also thanked Radio Hong Kong for giving me the chance to host when I started. I had a good foundation and I miss it very much. In 2019, I will start over and keep working hard, see you on the stage again next year!"

The "Most Excellent Female Pop Singer" Tse On Kay said, "This is the first time I won this award. I am very, very happy. Ths year has been a very special year. Earlier I rested for a very long time. Working with the current team and Juno (Mak Chun Lung), I took risks and challenged myself. I have everyone's encouragement. I would with my humblest heart thank everyone, whether on or off stage you have told me that I have value!" the event arranged for ten singers including Joyce Cheng Yun Yi, AGA Kong Hoi Ka, Pakho Chau, Hubert Wu Hung Kwan, Andy Leung, Jason Chan Pak Yu, Gin Lee Hung Ngai, JW, Alfred Hui Ting Hung and James Ng Yip Kwan performed this year's theme song SING THE WORLD SONG to open the concert. Elders like Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and Leon Lai Ming performed the song in the past.

Then mystery guest Nicholas Tse Ting Fung appeared and performed Beyond's SHINING AGE. As he sang he told the audience to sing along, the audience clapped along and sang. Then he sang his song BLUE SKY. Ting Fung was raised to a smaller stage for a guitar solo as he removed his leather jacket. When he performed DIVING DRAGON he again picked up his guitar and sang.

The Top Ten Gold Song winners appeared and performed half of their winning songs. First Hui Ting Fung sang SPARE A LISTEN, then Wu Hung Kwan sang I WAS HERE, AGA performed MINOR PROBLEM, Chan Pak Yu sang SERIOUS AS EVER. Popular online singer JC followed with two songs. Sing out performed OCTAVE JOURNEY and then IDENTITY with Supper Moment. Supper Moment also performed their winning son ORANGE SEA. Pakho Chau performed BEHIND A MAN in a bowtie and a suit. Ng Yip Kwan was so intense when he sang FILIAL PIETY that his eyes were closed. Gin Lee also pressed against her chest tensely when she performed VERY TOUGH.

The event played the late singer Ellen Loo (Lo Hoi tung)'s song creation video in memory of her. Tse On Kay and Sacred Heart Canossian College Alumni Choir performed. Golden Needle award winner Tat Ming Pair appeared, played a medley of heir song to a standing ovation. Cheng Yun Yi and Gin Lee danced in the audience, even Winnie Yu Jung helped and played the ukulele and presented the Golden Needle award to them. The concert ended with a performance with Cheung King Hin, dancer Mui Cheuk Yin and cyr wheel artist Yang Shih-hao.

Ng Yip Kwan performed his elders' classic song THE WORLD SONG and got the feeling of the torch being passed. He was also very honored to be one of the ten singers to perform it, as he felt like he was being recognized. Speaking of this year's award show performance paling from last year's, Brother Kwan admitted that he asked himself whether he did not work as hard and as diligently as other singers. This was his shame so he would like to return to the stage in 2019. However after 4 years, he was able to accept awards on the stage for the first 3 years and still felt very lucky. When he saw Ting Fung, he was very surprised. He felt his stage presence because he already liked Ting Fung's JADE BUTTERFLY in fourth or fifth grade. He said, "I listen to him sing since I was little! Now he actually appear in person, the feeling is very wonderful, very gratifying. I hope ten years from now, someone would say that they have been listening to my songs since elementary school!"

"2019!  Work Hard!  Struggle!"  is the undying spirit of THE NEW KING OF COMEDY leads

Returning to small character comedy after 20 years, the Stephen Chow Sing Chi directed NEW KING OF COMEDY will continue KING OF COMEDY's inspirational spirit as it will fully display the inspirational story of regular people chasing dreams.

Yesterday morning, the film released a funny hand drawn nine frame cartoon poster. On it various characters widened their eyes and opened their mouth to ask a question, "Who will be the new king of comedy?" That night, NEW KING OF COMEDY's first trailer was finally released. The trailer opened with the same question, then various small characters appeared. Through various exaggerated and funny performance they "competed" for this "career with a future". Each inspirational line made people laugh while at the same time igniting the fire inside. "Extras are actors too."

"You have to believe you are the best, not second or third, you are number one!"

"The trailer is all small characters, this is very Chow Sing Chi!" Instead, each small character in the trailer was like the Chow Sing Chi played Wan Tin Sau 20 years ago. They were neglected, overestimated, oppressed, but they still persisted in chasing their dreams. Even when dirtied and disheveled, they still persisted with their dreams and believed that they were the best. This was the spirit that everyone would need in 2019, and the best embodiment of the words "hard work and struggle".

[2019.01.03] EKIN CHENG AND GIGI LAI'S CHEMISTRY NEVER ENDS

courtesy of mingpao.com

Dior Cheng Yi Kin and Gigi Ma Lai Ka Yi (Lai Chi) earlier appeared on a radio interview. They both agreed that they did not change much, bu they were much more mature than before. Gigi said that their personalities used to be similar, unable to express themselves or handle matter. They hid a lot inside. She felt that Ekin looked aloof but was very hard working inside. Perhaps since they were both Libras they were more reserved and quiet. Ekin said, "She and Ah Yo (Yoyo Mung Ka Wai) are very close!" Now they both have their own happy families. Gigi felt that happiness actually was very simple, as long as you knew how to be grateful and easy to please the gates of happiness would open for you! "Life has ups and downs, with success and failure, even you are down you have to be grateful, treat setbacks like life training." Ekin agreed, as he felt life should not be too complicated.

The classic film YOUNG AND DANGEROUS (GOO WAT JAI) brought Ekin and Gigi together. Ekin actually remembered Gigi's drinking song WHITE SHIRT the most. He even sang it to Gigi, who was in a white shirt and made Gigi crack up. Ekin said that his deepest impression of her was WHITE SHIRT, as people still remembered this song today. They also recalled the YOUNG AND DANGEROUS era. Gigi said that she used to be a singer, but her costumes in the film were rather forward as she always wore super sexy short dresses. She said, "I thought what was I going to do! However I had Ekin there, with him it would be the best product." Ekin felt that their collaboration had great chemistry. They experienced a lot during he shoot. Gigi had a fear of heights but had to jump from the roof. Gigi said that at first she thought she would have a stunt double, but actually she had to jump in person. Once she got hurt. Although they did not see each other often, on the program they could not stop talking as their friendship would always remain in their hearts!

The 2018 Commercial Radio Ultimate Song Chart Award took place last night at the Convention Center. This year's theme was "Our Songtopia", meaning that everyone had an award show that belonged to them in their hearts. The even presented 43 awards. "My Favorite Song" went to CENTENNIAL TREE. Louis Koo Tin Lok after 19 years appeared at a music award show again and won "My Favorite Male Singer" as the favorite. He even made an exception and sang BOYFRIEND acapella to bring the evening to its peak. He joked, "The world really has miracles, I actually get to go on this stage and accept this award!" Kay Tse On Kay after 14 years in the business defeated "nemesis" Joey Yung Cho Yee for the first time to win the Female Singer gold prize, with 3.5 awards she even became the big winner. Joey also won her long sorted after "Ultimate Song" award to complete her "grand slam" dream. Everyone went home happy.

When the show began each DJ introduced singers. Leading the pack were Juno Mak Chun Lung and Kay Tse On Kay, then Joyce Cheng Yun Yi, James Ng Yip Kwan, Alfred Hui Ting Hung, Pakho Chau, JW, Jason Chan Pak Yu, Charmaine Fong Ho Man, Gin Lee Hung Ngai, Endy Chow Kwok Yin and others. The new guy group Mirror received much applause. Hins Cheung King Hin and Joey Yung Cho Yee finished the line up. Joey also made her first appearance this year at a music award show. The event presented the Rookie gold, silver and bronze prizes to Kaho Hung, Tsang Lok Tung and Cath Wong. Rumored girlfriend of the band Mr.'s MJ, Cath Wong got sentimental during her speech and thanked MJ. "No matter how our relationship changes, you would always support me."

Silver prize winner Tsang Lok Tung thanked her grandpa who was on bed rest due to illness and got teary eyed. She believed that although Grandpa might not see her win, he would be able to sense her joy. Tsang Lok Tung also gave special thanks to elder Cheung King Hin because he unconditionally helped her with her stress as a new comer. Gold prize winner Kaho Hung said that he grew up a lot in the past year, which was also full of setbacks. Because he often had his head down and lived in uneasiness, after the award he had to remind himself no to lower his head anymore and to keep making good music.

Best Actor Koo Tin Lok since winning the new comer award in 2000 again with the duet (A MAN) A WOMAN AND THE BATHROOM successfully gained "popularity" among listeners as he defeated Chow Kwok Yin, Chan Pak Yu, Eason Chan Yik Shun and Cheung King Hin for "My Favorite Male Singer". Goo Jai made a surprise appearance with his arms raised high, as the entire audience gave him a standing ovation in support.

Koo Tin Lok said, "I really like to sing, bu I don't know how to sing! Please don't stand, I am not accepting the Lifetime Achievement Award. Winning My Favorite isn't something that happens overnight, I know I won My Favorite not because of my great singing." Goo Jai explained that last year as the Performing Artist Guild president he met with many singers, understood their difficulties and hoped to revive the music industry. He said, "I discover that the fire in everyone has never been extinguished. I am very happy, I can get on the stage. I hope everyone can continue the dream and the fire in their hearts, Papa taught me not to be afraid of being taken advantage of. I am not saying that the duet with Tse On Kay is being taken advantage of, it is daring to try, daring to do, never give up, keep making good Cantonese songs!" Goo Jai graciously sang and invited Joey, Kay, Juno Mak Chun Lung and Cheung King Hin to the stage for "courage" as background singers. However he declined to sing POPULAR THIS WEEK, instead he finally sang a few verses of BOYFRIEND acapella and won the entire audience's applause.

At her 20th anniversary in the business, Yung Cho Yee over the years at different awards show received different awards. This year she finally won her first Ultimate Song Award. When producer Shu Man pointed out that exciting people and events needed time to wait for them to happen, Joey was already in tears. She said, "I started in the last century. I was a 1999 new comers, all along with everyone I longed for the Ultimate Song. With that state of mind and hard work I performed every song, until today in 2019 when the Ultimate Song was presented to me. Thank you everyone!" However she did not land in the top three for the Female Singer award.

Tse On Kay since starting in 2005 won her first Female Singer gold prize. She emotionally embraced her colleague Mak Chun Lung. She said, "Actually I haven't attended an award show for several years, I once was disillusioned and really wanted to rest. My music once brought me a lot of memorable moments, but I didn't know how to handle them. I thought about letting go of music. Today I face an award show today, instead I changed my state of mind. I can openly face it because what I see here isn't defeat or victory, but sincere support. Thank you!" She even won a song award, My Favorite Female Singer and split Ultimate Record with Mak Chun Lung. Wiht 3.5 awards she became the evening's big winner.

As for Male singers, Cheung King Hin this year won the gold prize as the favorite. After 2015 and 2016, he won this award for the third time. He also won a song award and My Favorite Song, pocketing three major awards. Hui Ting Hung and Chow Kwok Yin won silver and bronze for Male Singer.

Song writer award went to Cousin Fung. He made a comparison to a wrong beef noodle order, sometimes he did not know what kind of song singers would want. He also thanked his wife for helping him with his choice of clothing, otherwise he would dare to wear "boxers" to the stage. Lyrics award went to Abrahim Chan Wing him, who said that he though about whether he would have jeer or applause. He expressed that musicians often would have the speech overshadowed by such noise and lose themselves in music. However he would continue to work hard and make good music. In recent months he faced personal attacks online. The host said that he originally was unable to personally accept the award and planned to have Pakho Chau accept it on his behalf. Chan Wing Him originally was singing backup for Andy Lau Tak Wa's concert, later Wa Jai cancelled his concerts due to the flu and Chan Wing Him was able to accept the award in person. The producer award went to Shu Man.

When host Pitar Leung Man Lai presented the Ultimate Top Ten number eight song PEACE FOR YOUNG AND OLD, she mistakenly said Chow Kwok Yin instead of Pakho Chau. Both singers stood up at once, but Endy graciously congratulated Pakho Chau and even walked him to the stage.

Later Chow Kwok Yin with OLD BOMB won the number six song. He excitedly darted to the stage to accept the award.

In the "Ultimate Remembers Ellen Loo" segment, a special edit of Lo Hoi Tung's interview recordings and videos was played. In it Ellen mentioned her relationship with guitar, once due to too many performances she minded it. "Later when I embrace guitar anew, I felt like a little kid again. A simple melody actually could be great, actually the simpler it was the happier it was. Then I could write songs ago. My relationship with guitar was very complicated yet very simple." The screen displayed "Wish you happiness, blank space here". Then her song IF STILL HAVE TIME was played as the lyrics went, "Clouds palely shine, your smile never ages from here on."
