The 20 show Andy Lau Unforgettable Concert series two nights ago continued at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Every night Wa Jai brought surprises for his fans as he asked Louie Castro (Ga Si Lok) and Sally Yeh (Yip Sin Man) to be his guest performers. Sally and Wa Jai sang Eric Moo (Mo Kai Yin)'s song HEART SOURING LOVE SONG.

With 30 years in the business Wa Jai invited guests who his fans grew up with and could relate to. Wa Jai said, "I have watched this guest since I was very little. His show kept me company for a long time. I also learned to ride a bicycle because of this television series. I thought he was very light and very cool on the bike, do you remember him......" Many fans realized that the guest was Ga Si Lok. He sang STAR and received passionate applauses.

Wa Jai during the encore segment led thousands to fever pitch with his songs and dance. Wa Jai asked the fans if they had enough and invited special guest Yip Sin Man to the stage. Because the previous seven shows did not have a guest during encore, the audience was very surprised. Yip Sin Man not only sang with Wa Jai but emotionally also said that Wa Jai was a good man, which made fans scream. "Wa Jai and I have known each other for years, before I was invited to be a guest my Mama saw Wa Jai's concert on television and told me I definitely had to go. So I am very glad that Wa Jai invited me to be the guest." She honestly said that they have known each other for a long time, praised him as a good singer, a good actor and a good man. Sally said, "Everyone have to keep supporting Wa Jai!" Wa Jai hug Sally in appreciation but Sally mischievously called him sweaty. Many friends like Karen Mok Man Wai and Gigi Leung Wing Kei who was ailing from her Beijing concert were in the audience.

Director Benny Chan Muk Sing, Jackie Chan and Fan Bingbing yesterday attended SHAOLIN (SUN SIU LUM JI)'s Beijing press conference. The Mainland version poster and a 3 minute film video were unveiled. The director and the actors even received big drum sticks to start off the

film's Mainland new spring slot with a bang. The director and Jackie Chan even pounded the big drum for encouragement.

When Jackie Chan and Bingbing arrived, Bingbing fans screamed "Bingbing is the greatest". Jackie Chan joked, "Put down all the Bingbing signs." Bingbing joked, "Hurry up and put mine down and pick up Big Brother's signs. Big Brother is the greatest!" Bingbing said that the torture scene in the film was memorable. She said, "In the scene water was poured on my head. Originally we wanted to use hot water, but the steam from it would give it away. In the end we could only use cold water." Aside from her own professionalism, she also praised the director. "From the production highlight the director's hair was still black, by post production he turned gray."

The director did not forget to thank Jackie Chan because he gave a lot of opinions on many of the film's action designs. Guest starring as the "cooking monk", Jackie Chan complained, "At first we agreed on seven days, finally I arrived we shot from morning to night. Everyday I was only allowed to sleep a hour. It was like two weeks worth." In the trailer, Jackie Chan spoke the Henan dialect but Bingbing misunderstood him for speaking the Shandong dialect. Jackie Chan said, "That's the Henan dialect, You are from Shandog how can you hear that wrong!" In order to display his Henan dialect skill Jackie Chan immediately said a few words and kept the fans laughing.

Director Feng Xiaogang and leads Ge You and Shu Qi two nights ago attended the IF YOU ARE THE ONE 2 Hong Kong premiere. Shu Qi and Ge You entered with five couples in wedding wear, but Shu Qi in a green low cut dress stole the show. Shu Qi even read her vows in

Cantonese, but no one understood what she said. Obviously her Cantonese skills have declined.

She apologized for her bad Cantonese. "Sorry, I raped your ears!" She also said that her Cantonese ability did not decline, but has not improved over 10 years. As for the mock wedding with Ge You, she thought it felt pretty good and thought that he matched her well. She also

praised, "He is humble too. Although he often says he wouldn't cheer up a girl, he actually really knows how to take care of a girl! (Are you looking forward to marriage?) I asked him why he got married so soon, actually during the shoot we extended our real relationship!" Did she have any luck at Miriam Yeung Chin Wa's wedding party earlier? She honestly said that she ran into many friends but she was drunk for two days. Only last night she was a little more sober. Speaking of old flame Leon Lai Ming missing Chin Wa's party to avoid her, she said, "Then you have to ask him! (Is seeing him awkward?) We don't need to mention ancient history again!" Speaking of the White Dragon King being hospitalized, she stressed that was two days old news. Master was fine. She pointed out that White Dragon King has always had lung issues. She said that he was wise and kind, but he did not get enough rest when he was sick. Now he could rest a little.

Ge You was asked whether he will work on IF 3. He honestly said that he did not have the third film's script. He personally felt that in general comedy had difficulty exceeding the first film. Unlike it was a box office issue, audience taste would grow as would their demands! Speaking of his film LET THE BULLETS FLY's great response and the chance to be adapted into a Hollywood film, he said that he has not heard any news yet.

His films all have had decent box office. He humbly said that he only performed, a film also had a director and other actors. In addition although several films performed well in the Mainland, their Hong Kong box office was not considered good. Perhaps it was the distance between the

lines! He even said that Shu Qi in IF 2 spoke Beijing accent Putonghua, which might also be a problem for Hong Kong viewers. Did he have any box office pressure? He said that everyone worked together on the entire film, in other words he personally would not have any pressure.

Andy Lau Tak Wa was not lonely at all this Christmas, not only did he have tens of thousands of fans to celebrate with at the Hong Kong Coliseum but he also celebrated the birthday of "the woman he cares of the most" Deanie Ip Tak Han twice. At the concert Wa Jai led fans in a rendition of the birthday song, which touched Ip Tak Han a lot.

As Wa Jai's guest every night, Ip Tak Han two nights ago celebrates her birthday on Christmas. The filial Wa Jai loved this "mommy" of his just as much. Two days ago at rehearsal he gave the birthday girl her first surprise. After Sister Deanie finished her song, the band played the birthday song as Wa Jai brought a cake, dancers, little martial art monk, Kay Tse On Kay and others to sing along. Sister Deanie could not be more pleasantly surprised and could not believe that everyone remembered her birthday. She was extra touched to be able to celebrate her birthday and Christmas with her "son" and the team.

Wa Jai had more surprises. During the show's encore segment, Wa Jai suddenly grew sentimental and said to the audience, "Please give me 3 minutes of silence, I have something very important to say. Tonight a woman I love very much is on hand, today is her birthday......" The crowd roared as Wa Jai said to Sister Deanie who was watching the show from the control center, "Ma Ma I love you!" Joey Yung Cho Yi who sat behind her immediately gave her a hug as Wa Jai and thousands of fans sang the birthday song, making the joy to the world Christmas night even warmer. Joey two nights ago brought her mother to the show. In leopard print, Joey could not care less if people recognized her as she often stood up and danced. She even stayed for the entire show.

Two nights ago guest Tse On Kay also received Wa Jai's attention. When Wa Jai introduced Kay he even revealed what she said to him. "I watched many fans grew up. This one I watched her start her career, get married, have a child. I remember once after she gave birth, she dragged her fat body and appeared at my premiere. She told me she didn't want fans to forget her, so she quickly lost weight and came back. Yet in my heart, her development and performance have been great, she didn't have to be afraid of fans forgetting her!" Tse On Kay teary eyed gave Wa Jai a hug. Wa Jai said to her, "Crying is no big deal, the most important is you are crying out of joy!"

As a member of Wa Jai's fan club, Tse On Kay performed at her idol's concert as a guest. She said, "I have to represent the fan club and thank fans who support Wa Jai." Then she sang STAR in praise of her idol and received passionate applauses from the crowd.

Two nights ago a group of black fans appeared in the audience. Wa Jai very curiously asked them if they knew Cantonese. He even asked his fans to teach them to sing IF ONE DAY. Although this group of fans might not understand but they waved their glow sticks throughout. They even screamed in less than fluent Cantonese, "Wa Jai is very handsome! Wa Jai is great!" Since it was Christmas, fans were reluctant to leave. Wa Jai appeared in two encores and even said to the viewers, "Don't you people have plans tonight? Why won't you leave?" The concert exceeded the limit by 15 minutes but the holiday celebration was worth it.
