Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Michelle Wai Sze Nga, Tommy Chu Pak
Hong, Hegwig Tam Sin Yin, Kaki Sham and Renci Yeung Sze Wing starred
in the romantic Emperor Motion Picture READY O/R ROT (BUT YUT SING FUN
2), which would open on November 30th. Lead actress Wai Sze Nga
pointed out that the most interesting part of this movie was its
resemblance to each person's life track. "From READY O/R NOT to READY
O/R ROT, during this period of time conceivably we and the audience
have experienced together a lot of changes, like our lead actor Chan
Ka Lok going from a boy to become someone's husband!" Chan Ka Lok
urged viewers to watch the first film again and said that he would
attend audience appreciation events like mad. "Two and a half years
again, when READY was released, we spent a lot of time on going to
cinemas all over Hong Kong for audience appreciation. This time I hope
this mission of gratitude would level up again! This movie's
uniqueness is each character is very close to the viewers.
Participating in audience appreciation events is like bringing us to
see a group of old friends. The feeling is especially intimate."

Lam Suet and Louis Cheung Kai Chung yesterday attended
a rice noodle event at Central, where Lam Suet ate nonstop. The 240
pound Lam Suet said that many friends have urged him to lose weight
as they worried about his health, especially his boss Johnnie To Kei
Fung. "The boss is afraid that I would drop dead, saying that if I
don't die it would be even worse. I kept that in my heart. Everyone
relax, I have already begun losing weight. Now I have already lost
20 pounds, the goal is to lose 100 pounds total. Now I am walking
and running first to lose the fluid through sweating. When I have
a little more energy I can increase may exercise rate." He revealed
that his children are already working, but as long as they are single
they would remain burdens. He joked that he also had to be mentally
ready to become a father in law at any time.

The 10 day long 28th Busan International Film Festival
yesterday afternoon held its opening ceremony. Chow Yun Fat has
always been an idol to many Koreans. He after Tony Leung Chiu Wai
last year became another Hong Kong film stars to receive the Busan
Film Festival Asian Filmmaker of the Year Award to honor his tremendous contribution
to promoting Asian films and culture. Last night he and his wife
Jasmine Tan appeared on the red carpet and received passionate cheers
from everyone. He accepted the "Asian Filmmaker of the Year Award" at the
opening ceremony and said in Cantonese, "Thank you everyone for
attending. I started in the business in 1973, which just happened to
be 50 years this year. Half a century truly is a long journey, but
looking back it was just like yesterday. Thank you Hong Kong TVB for
giving me the opportunity to start acting, thank you Hong Kong film for
taking me to even further places, opening my eyes, thank you to my
wife for taking care of me for so many years so I can relax and make
movies, thank you Busan Film Festival for giving me such a meaningful
award, thank you Korean friends for your support and love all along!
Finally I wish everyone good health and smooth sailing!" He even
took out a mobile phone to take a selfie with the entire venue and
screamed in Korean, "Thank you, I love you!"

Bosco Wong Chung Chak, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Carlos
Chan Ka Lok and Michelle Wai Sze Nga starred in the Emperor Motion
Picture THE BROTHERHOOD OF REBEL (JAT JIK 2), which held a premiere two
nights ago. Emperor Group chief Albert Yeung Sau Sing and his wife
both made appearances to show their support. Ka Lok joked that he
would use the amount of tickets his family has asked him for as a
confidence index. He said, "Papa asked me for 10 tickets. For my
movies, he doesn't watch every one. (What about your wife?) She
would watch it with friends."
Bosco was envious that Ka Lok had family support because even
on Mid Autumn's Festival he could not see his mother, who already
flew to Vietnam for a vacation. He also promised that he would
attend audience appreciation events and take photos with fans. He
also stated that if the box office would reach HK$ 30 million, he
would open his restaurant for free for a day. Speaking of fan
complaints that he was unfriendly during a mainland appearance, he
explained, "A lot of people were there, filling up several floors of
the shopping center. I saw the situation began to deteriorate,
because earlier someone rolled down an escalator before I didn't dare
to come in close contact with fans. I could only smile and nod. If
people rushed up and any accident would happen, the responsibility
would be with me. I know some people don't understand, but calling me
unfriendly, I don't mind. It doesn't hurt me! Everyone knows how I
am, I am only thinking about everyone."
Cheung Kai Chung received his wife Kay Tse On Kay's support as
she appeared in person. Earlier when his wife promoted her new song,
she brought up that the couple faced a lot of criticism before. They
both had emotional problems and he even thought about suicide and wrote
a suicide note. Cheung Kai Chung felt that in life anyone would run
into many problems, would definitely have emotions, and think back to
some correctly made decisions. "So when you run into anything
unpleasant, you can choose a good movie to watch, or listen to a good
song, eat good food, let your mood change so you would be fine." He
took the opportunity to immediately hard sell THE BROTHERHOOD OF REBEL,
his wife's new film BAND FOUR (4 PAK 4 GA JOOK), the couple's new
song as well as recommending Wong Chung Chak's restaurant.

The 60th Golden Horse Awards would take place on
November 25th in Taipei. The event yesterday afternoon held a press
conference to announce the nominations. Last year's Best Actor Anthony
Wong Chau Sun and Golden Horse executive committee chair Wen
Tien-Hsiang made the announcements. This year 3 Hong Kong films have
been nominated, including IN BROAD DAYLIGHT (BAK YUN JI HA), TIME
STILL TURNS THE PAGES (NIN SIU YUT GEI) and A LYRICIST WANNABE (TIN
CHI L). The former received 5 nominations, including Best Actress
(Jennifer Yu Heung Ying), Best Supporting Actor (Bowie Lam Bo Yi),
Best Supporting Actress (Rachel Leung Yung Ting), Best Art Direction and Best Makeup and Costume Design; TIME STILL TURNS THE PAGES also received 5
nominations, including Best New Director (Nick Cheuk Yik Him), Best
Supporting Actor (Sean Wong Tsz Lok), Best Original Screenplay (Cheuk
Yik Him), Best Editing (Chan Hiu Chun, Cheuk Yik Him), and Best Narrative
Feature; THE LYRICIST WANNABE received Best Actress (Chung Suet Ying) and
Best Adapted Screenplay (Norris Wong Yi Lam) nominations. Just
becoming a mother for a second time, Jennifer Yu Heung Ying received
her Golden Horse Awards Best Actress admission ticket. After hearing
the news she could not help but "break her rule" and shed tears of joy.
In the Best Actress category, the Yu Heung Ying starred IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT (BAK YUT JI HA) and the Chung Suet Ying starred ATHE
LYRICIST WANNABE (TIN CHI L) were both nominated. First time Golden
Horse Awards Best Actress nominee Yu Heung Ying appeared emotional
after hearing the news. "Because I was at home after giving birth, I
was able to sit still and watch the press conference. After getting
the news Mommy and I were both very emotional. I even broke my rule
and cried. My daughter asked what happened and even helped wiping
away my tears. It was really heartwarming. (You son has been very
lucky for you.) Thank you Son." Yu Heung Ying in the film played a
report who uncovered nursing home abuses. She said that IN is a social
topic that requires the attention of the general public. She hoped
that her nomination would draw everyone's concerns and into the
cinemas when the movie would be released. She promised that she would
definitely attend the event in person to thank the Golden Horse
Award jury's support.
Another first time Best Actress nominee Chung Suet Ying did not
dare to believe the news. "I have been sick for a few days, I am very
happy and grateful. In the film I played a character who kept failing
on the lyricist journey in music, from secondary school to adulthood.
This movie is self financed, due to lack of funding it has stopped
production many times. So I thank the cast and the crew's persistence
and hard work. Thank you Cantonese songs. If all goes well I would
fly over, and dress up for the red carpet. Wong Hoi, Wong Yi Lam
just asked me to have barbecue tonight, just like when they first
asked me to make the movie with them. They are just as impulsive
and serious, I would have a few more pieces."
In addition, Rachel Leung Yung Ting also with IN BROAD
DAYLIGHT was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. She happily said,
"Thank you jury for the recognition, and the entire film for their hard
work. In particular thank you producer (Derek) Yee Tung Sing, director
(Lawrence) Kan Kwan Chun, screenwriter Iris and Ah Fung. We created
this uniquely meaningful movie together. I also congratulate the Best
Actress nominee co-star Yu Heung Yi and the Best Supporting Actor
nominee Lam Bo Yi (Bowie). I look forward to going to Taiwan for the
vegan railroad bento!"
With over 30 years in the business, Bowie Lam Bo Yi with IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT welcomed his first film award nomination. Playing
nursing home supervisor, he said, "Of course I am happy to be
nominated for the Golden Horse Awards. I have been acting for so
many years. Although I haven't won yet, it is still getting a little
recognition. In the film aside from me, Chiang Dai Wai, Wu Fung
and others all performed outstandingly. New comers are just as good.
So this nomination is somewhat a surprise." The 10 year old child star
Sean Wong Tsz Lok with TIME STILL TURNS THE PAGES (NIN SIU YUT GEI) was
nominated for Best Supporting Actor along with Lam Bo Yi. He said,
"When I read the script for the first time I was already moved to tears.
Thank you Director Cheuk Yik Him for giving me the chance and trust.
When I made it I didn't think about being nominated, during the shot
I could only do my best. I hope everyone would support the film."
Director Cheuk Yik Him said, "Before making my first movie,
my original job was writing screenplays. I have always really liked
to tell stories, so being recognized for the screenplay for me is a
greatly meaningful. It's like someone tapped my shoulder and said,
'You have to keep doing what you like to do.'" Nominated for Best
Adapted Screenplay with THE LYRICIST WANNABE, Wong Yee Lam said,
"This would be the second time I participated in the Golden Horse
Awards. This time THE LYRICIST WANNABE has been nominated for two
awards; I am very happy, especially Chung Suet Ying for Best Actress.
Super lucky is she, a lyricist who can super act."
