The Andy Lau Tak Wa and Gong Li starred WHAT WOMEN WANT two nights ago held a premiere in Shanghai. They have been acting for years, only until now did they have the chance to work together. They both agreed that they were happy about it. Wa Jai even praised Gong Li as having an unique Eastern woman beauty, a man's dream, thus their collaboration was very happy and very relaxed. Gong Li also said that she benefited a lot from this collaboration because Wa Jai's acting style was very relaxed and different from her academic style. He could give her great inspirations and feeling.

Gong Li felt that this time was fuller in content and emotions than the original and even added Chinese and Asian culture. It was more modern and complete than before. Wa Jai also pointed out that the biggest difference between the films was they were more reserved, the love and interpersonal relationships were more real.

The Louis Koo Tin Lok and Sandra Ng Kwan Yu starred Lunar New Year film MR. AND MRS. INCREDIBLE (SUN KEI HUP NUI) two nights ago held a charity premiere to raise fund for the Hong Kong Early Psychosis Intervention Society. Aside from the leads, producer Peter Chan Ho Sun, director Vincent Kok Tak Siu also attended. Kwan Yu ignored husband Chan Ho Sun and dressed up for the event. Even her friends Sheung Tin Ngor and Margie Tsang Wa Sin could not help but attack her chest.

Kwan Yu stole the show with her sexiness, but she said that she did so to support her husband. This year he had two Lunar New Year film releases but she was very confident in herself. Despite the flu two nights ago she still brought out the "chest" that she has hidden for a long time and joked that this time she risked her life. Kwan Yu also joked that if the box office did well, Goo Jai should take out money to give away. They even agreed to give away big laisee at the celebration, as they feared that people would call them cheap.

Earlier Kok Tak Siu revealed that Kwan Yu and Goo Jai had a bed scene when Chan Ho Sun supervised. Kwan Yu joked that he had no real separation between personal and professional. She pointed out that Chan Ho Sun was especially demanding of her, like always saying at home they lacked promotion. She was afraid that she knew too much and "threatened her own life". She also pointed out that Chan Ho Sun came to the set that day and she was not embarrassed. Instead she joked that her husband was so old and gray that he should have returned home after the ceremony, but he was unwilling to leave. Goo Jai was not embarrassed either because the producer supported him in playing this character well.

Kwan Yu's friend Tsang Wa Sin came in support two nights ago and attacked Kwan Yu's chest on the spot. During a photo shoot she also took the chance to touch Goo Jai's chest. Kwan Yu said, "They are both single, Goo Jai is so 'big' in everything." Goo Jai immediately clarified that she meant his home. Wa Sin joked that she was not interested in younger man, but seeing Goo Jai she would consider him. She joked, "You have great qualities, especially since you are a little bashful!" Kwan Yu joked that many friends were lining up but Goo Jai did not have time as

career came first for him. Goo Jai joked, "Thank you, thank you very much, I am very busy now. We will talk when I am free!" Then he took the chance to skip out.

Ronald Cheng Chung Kei two nights ago appeared at the premiere and became the focus. He looked fatter. He honestly said that recently he has been working on Wong Jing's new film MO GA JI BO (PRICELESS TREASURE) and often had Peking Duck on the set. In addition his character was a martial art superstar so he deliberately trained to look stronger. Speaking of his divorce with Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin, was he unable to appear in court because he was working in the Mainland? At first he was unwilling to talk then said, "This is a part of the process, I don't have to go to court. Actually all the procedures have already been done. (The court now issued a temporary divorce to you.) That's the way it is!" However a hearing has been rumored due to financial issues of both parties. Was Ah Sa asking for support? He said, "No, not at all!" He said that they did not have any debt issue. Were they still in contact? He hesitated and said, "Not constant contact, only when contact is needed. (Do you need to see Ah Sa again to discuss the divorce?) Basically I don't need to, but in the future we may need to at work."

Eric Tsang Chi Wai's father Tsang Kai Wing earlier passed away. Two nights ago Chi Wai held a cremation ceremony in Taiwan for his father. Chi Wai after handling his father's affair immediately returned to Hong Kong to promote the Lunar New Year film. Originally Chi Wai

planned to transport his father's ashes back to Hong Kong, but now with more family in Taiwan he decided to place it in Taiwan.

Chi Wai yesterday appeared on a Commercial Radio interview and was still dressed in black. He thanked everyone and he was better than he imagined. His father departed very well, in the entire process he was very appreciative. His family has returned to Taiwan and his father left very comfortably. He gave special thanks to Master Hsing Yun for loaning a place for him to hold his father's farewell event. His father's ashes will be placed in Taiwan. Was this his father's wish? He pointed out that his father causally left it to them. At first he thought about shipping it back to Hong Kong, but he thought of how more family was in Taiwan and they liked to go to the temple, he decided to leave it there. After the Lunar New year, about February 26 he will hold a farewell event for his father. How was his daughter Bo Yi? He pointed out that his father was old and it did not happen suddenly. His father's health gradually deteriorated so they were mentally prepared. Yet this was a rare chance for the family to get together, so they decided to have an annual reunion. He believed that his father wished that for them. Now he is busy with the Lunar New Year film I LOVE HONG KONG (NGOR OI HK HOI SUM MAN SHUI) promotion.

Speaking of "Shell King" Chan Kwok Keung becoming TVB's new boss and Chi Wai was a friend of his, would he have more advantages now with the Lunar New Year film promotion? He said that it was the same. He pointed out that Chan Kwok Keung was not a rookie and was a shareholder of TVB pay television. He had the intention to work in entertainment and with the Star East experience, he was not as simple as a investor. Chi Wai said that he had no idea before hand. Fifteen minutes before the press release Chan Kwok Keung called to tell him. He thought it was a good thing. Would he be interested in TVB administrative work? Chi Wai honestly said that he was not but he would give opinions in the area of film. He also pointed out that Chan and Mona Fong Yat Wa worked together before. During pay television days he was in contact with Ms. Fong and they already had chemistry. He believed that the addition to TVB would not cause too much change.

Timmy Hung Tin Ming and Janet Chow Ka Wai yesterday promoted a travel program in Television City. After TVB sale, Tin Ming revealed that he knew Chan Kwok Keung and hoped once he became the boss everyone would have more and more jobs and opportunities. Did he feel he would like become an entertainment tycoon? Tin Ming said, "I feel aside from Hong Kong television, actually the Hong Kong film industry also required jobs too. This year only one Hong Kong film was completely Hong Kong funded. Hopefully after Chan Kwok Keung takes over, he would also help the Hong Kong film industry."

Eric Tsang Chi Wai's father Tsang Kai Wing passed away in Taiwan on January 17 at the age of 94. Yesterday Chi Wai held a funeral for his father. Dressed in black Chi Wai looked sadden throughout. When he thought of his aging father he even broke down in tears. He also thanked everyone for their concern. As for his father's ashes, he planned to transport it to Hong Kong for burial.

Tsang Chi Wai's father in the middle of the month was hospitalized. At the time Chi Wai dropped all of his work and even resigned as the host of TVB JADE SOLID GOLD host to rush to Taiwan. Yet Father Tsang passed away in Taiwan last Monday. Originally Chi Wai was promoting his Lunar New Year film I LOVE HK HOI SUM MAN SHUI in Singapore, but he immediately dropped everything to return to Taiwan and see his father one last time. He also temporarily stopped all the jobs on his hand.

Yesterday morning, Tsang Chi Wai conducted the cremating ceremony in Taipei Second Funeral Home. Chi Wai along with sons Tsang Kwok Yau, Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung, daughter Tsang Bo Yi, family and friends arrived at the funeral home. Chi Wai looked sadden throughout. In response to reporter questions he only simply said "Thank you for caring". Two friends and relatives helped him along, conceivably Chi Wai's mood has not yet settled. During the ceremony Chi Wai thought of his father and broke down. Tsang Kwok Cheung and Tsang Bo Yi kept their hands together throughout to send their grandfather on his final journey. After the ceremony, granddaughter Bo Yi carried her grandfather's photo and left.

Tsang Chi Wai's father Tsang Kai Wing immigrated to Taiwan years ago and lived there for over 30 years. Chi Wai said, later he would transport his father's ashes to Hong Kong for burial. Chi Wai earlier revealed that a memorial will be held in Hong Kong after the Lunar New Year.

SHAOLIN's Xiong Xinxin, Yu Shaoqun and Shi Yanneng earlier promoted the film. Xiong Xinxin said that the most memorable was soon after the production began he already had to shoot a chase scene with Andy Lau Tak Wa and a heavy axe. He honestly said that the pressure was on as he was afraid of accidentally injuring Wa Jai. He joked, "If I accidentally injured Wa Jai at the beginning, I believed not only fans, even the director and the boss would be after me."

Did he instruct Wa Jai before the fight scene? Xiong Xinxin said, "I don't have to, Wa Jai is young and can fight. He is very agile, when I fought with him it was very smooth." He also said that over a decade ago he already knew the other lead Nicholas Tse Ting Fung was a martial art fanatic who often practiced in a corner of the set. He said, "Ting Fung likes to fight, he is willing to learn anything and is smart." What was the difference between Jet Li (Lee Nin Kit)'s SHAOLIN TEMPLE and SHAOLIN? He said, "They are completely different. The historical

backdrops are already two different eras. The story environment and the dialogues are different, so they cannot be compared."

Yu Shaoqun and Shi Yanneng both said that during the shoot they experienced rain, sun and snow. Due to the high demands of the director, they could not even change their costumes. Thus the toughest was after the rain scene they still had to wear wet costumes the next day. Yu Shaoqun said, the most memorable was being on the tall wooden piles. He even had to demonstrate a kick and stood on one leg. With his fear of heights he honestly said that he was very nervous. The child who was with him even accidentally fell, luckily with the sand protection he was not severely injured.

Louis Koo Tin Lok in the Lunar New Year film ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2011 (JUI KEUNG HEI SI) played an effeminate make up artist. The rather masculine Goo Jai this time played effeminate for the first time, he honestly said that at first he was not used to it. During the shoot he maintained the effeminate tone on and off screen. He joked that at the time he was a guest at the Grasshoppers concert and he realized that when he went on stage he walked with an effeminate twist. Was he afraid of attracting some effeminate fans later? Goo Jai joked that in

his life he had such friends. He would not mind and could be friends with them.

Although in the film he played a make up artist, Goo Jai did not know about cosmetics and Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi even made fun of him for doing a bad job. In one scene Chapman To Man Jat had to dress like a woman, Goo Jai said that he has never done so. He did not mind and instead thought it would be rather fun. Donnie Yen Chi Tan in the film was also a make up artist. Goo Jai joked that his make up had a kung fu base.

Last year Goo Jai made five movies. He hoped to make less in the new year and take time off to recharge. He honestly said that he has always wanted to finish one movie before starting another, but sometimes due to production issues in the end they were shot simultaneously. He

would like to take one or two months off because he has not truly rested in years. Goo Jai said that when he visited overseas the first week was for sleeping. In Hong Kong he generally could not rest because he would go out when he got the call. However, Goo Jai pointed out that this year he already took five or five films. He believed the chance to take time off would be very hard.
