"The Strongest in the Universe" Donnie Yen Chi Tan recently has been busy with Nicholas Tse Ting Fung on the Emperor Motion Picture RAGING FIRE (NO FOR). The producer and star is also the action director, as Chi Tan often discussed various details with director Benny Chan Muk Sing. Even when he did not perform on camera, he would still personally appear on the set.

Earlier the team was shooting in Yau Tong. In a shirt and bulletproof vast Chi Tan was flying on the rooftop. Due to the unstable weather, rain came during the day of the shoot. Chi Tan without fear of slipping kept going back and forth on a narrow rooftop, but did not officially start rolling until everything was ready.

Chi Tan after working with Ting Fung stayed in touch. Chi Tan even appeared on Ting Fung's food program. Since RAGING FIRE's production began the shoot still has not reached its "meat" as they rarely shared any scene. However later they would have a lot of action scenes as well as a fight against each other.

Crisel represented the and said, "I want to represent the entire STILL HUMAN team to embrace every person here. We came from Hong Kong, at first we were very worried as we were uncertain that whether this story would be able to move you or would understand the message that we wanted to express. However we are very happy that you are willing to listen. This proves the entire world has a common language, this language is love."

Director Chan Siu Kuen said that the European audience's fondness for this film surprised and encouraged her.

Originally I came to Udine only to participate in the European premiere, bu in the end I was able to return home with a full load. I really didn't expect that."

The Checkley Sin Kwok Lam produced, directed and written new film FUN YUN DIK TUNG WA? (FAIRY TALE OF MARRIAGE?) yesterday held a production start worship ceremony. Stars Alice Chan Wai, Michael Kwan Lai Kit, Vinci Wong Yin Chi and Connie Man Hoi Ling appeared. Wai Gor revealed in the film "young fresh meat" Brian Yuen Chung Yeung would seduce her to have an affair. She would even appear in a sexy swimsuit and have passionate bed scenes. Wai Gor said that in real life she would be able to accept a younger man if a "young fresh meat" have abdominal muscles, can sing well and sweet talk people like James Ng Yip Kwan.

Wai Gor recently has started working ou more for swimsuit season, she also had confidence in her figure. As for her swimsuit, she said, "(Nelson) Cheung Hok Yun helped me pick it out, it has to be sexy. You can see anything that you want to see." Wai Gor said that in reality she has not had a young fresh meat suitor, so she would be able to experience it in the film. Would she accept a younger man? She said, "I can (accept) the type of Kwan Gor (James Ng Yip Kwan). Lately he got abdominal muscles, he sings well and knows how to sweet talk people. However I can't go any younger than that. It wouldn't be good if it becomes raising a child."

Speaking of FORENSIC HEROES 4 having to be reshot due to the "On Sum Affair", Wai Gor said that the reshoot would not start until next month. She was not involved in too many scenes and she did not have too many scenes with Jacquline Wong Sum Wing. Would reshooting a series waste the effort of the actors? Wai Gor said, "Everyone just wants what is best for the show. If the series can't be air it wouldn't be good. Reshoot is the best resolution. I know some scenes would have changes, but I am not sure if the story has any change. I don't know who would take Sum Wing's role either." As for the online recording of Wai Gor, she said that everyone knew it was not her because the voice did not sound like her at all. She did not bother to study where it came from.

Cheung Hok Yun who found the swimsuit costume for Wai Gor admitted that he spent four figures to buy swimsuits. Finally Master Sin complained that he could have made online purchases. He had to spend a lot of time to convince him otherwise.

Earlier in a column he threw shades at sisters who liked to steal other people's husbands in the business. Cheung Hok Yun clarified that it was only a friend's experience. He would not reveal the identity. "Everyone knows that I don't need the exposure. Other friends say that since it has nothing to do with me I don't need to fight for justice, but the friend who told me thanked me because it helped him air the grievance after many years. I feel that was well worth doing, what other people say isn't important."

Nicholas Tse Ting Fung yesterday returned from Beijing to Hong Kong. He said that he would stay in Hong Kong for a week to work on the Benny Chan Muk Sing directed new film RAGING FIRE (NO FOR), which would take 2 to 3 months. This film will mainly shoot on location in Hong Kong and Macau, so he will not have to fly overseas. Ting Fung said that Chan Muk Sing's films inevitably will have dangerous stunts, so he has gotten himself into shape and would train in weapons. "Aside from physical training, I always will have weapons training. Lord Tan (Donnie Yen Chi Tan) will be responsible for choosing which weapon. For dangerous stunts I won't tell him to hold back. We know how to adjust. It won't be our first collaboration anyway. Years ago we already sparred in DRAGON TIGER GATE (LUNG FU MOON), even if old wounds may be aggravated it will be normal."

Ting Fung's former wife Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi posted recent photos of their sons in Singapore. Ting Fung said that happened earlier. He said that he would deliberately tell anyone when he would take his sons on vacation.
