Shu Qi supported Donnie Yen Chi Tan during his word of wars with Vincent Zhao Wenzhou and attracted online attacks, leading to her past erotic photos being dug up.  Shu Qi thus removed her microblog, which attracted online discussions.  yesterday Shu Qi's fan club revealed that Shu Qi said she was great on her official site, of course she also had some not so good days too but she thanked people who have harmed her.

Yesterday the fan club posted RETURN TO THE SIMPLE BEGINNING, which was also the first public comment since Shu Qi removed her microblog.  "She is very good, but of course she also has some days that aren't so good.  She thanked the people who harmed her.  The past is not her scar, but a story of her journey.  I think she feels proud.  Encourage each other with good intention in the heart, encourage each other with good intention in the heart."  This post mentioned Shu Qi said that mutual blames and criticisms would only add to the negative energy and that the microblog was a place for release.  Hopefully people who need help in the future will receive even more attention.  Hopefully from now on there will be no more dispute and even more warmth.

In addition, the always direct director Feng Xiaogang scolded people who insulted Shu Qi online and told Shu Qi that she still has a name Siu Siu (Smile, her character name in the Feng Xiaogang directed IF YOU ARE THE ONE).  Feng Xiaogang posted, "Shu Qi closed her microblog because she couldn't stand the dirty insult.  She is a friend who I respect.  Her most valuable quality is her kindness.  I can't accept some people would insult her with such cruel language.  Can I scold people?  Some would definitely say, you can't.  Because you are a public figure.  You are wrong, I absolutely wouldn't let this identity kidnap me.  Shu Qi, don't forget, you still have a name Siu Siu."

Denise Ho Wan Si posted that Shu Qi was a very beautiful woman from the inside out and comforted Shu Qi not to be heartbroken over some nonsense.  Yen Chi Tan posted an apology online to Shu Qi and others.  "Thank you friends for your support, at the same time because of your sense of justice, I am sorry that everyone is dragged in needlessly.  Toward the out of control online violence, I feel powerless, heartache and anger!  I still say what I said a week ago, 'If you want to bully someone come here!' The unjust will self-destruct, please consider."

Joyce Cheng Yun Yi yesterday unveiled the City, Things & Nature art exhibit as its special guest and received a fan from Japanese artist Ryu Itadani.  Itadani even donated his work HONG KONG for a charity auction.  Yun Yi revealed that she will work on a Hong Kong comedy and make an appearance that no one has ever seen.  She happily said, "This character is similar to me and I have always wanted to play the character.  The happiest was during the audition the director and the producer both said that they have this character that they only want me to play.  So I was very happy.  Acting isn't my strong suit, this is a great learning opportunity."  In the past Yun Yi has guest starred in films, but this time was the first time that she had a character name.  Thus she was particularly excited.  Would he have to make any preparation?  She said that she would speak more Chinese and sing more karaoke because she truly learned a lot of Chinese from it.  Would she need to dress up for the performance?  She joked, "No need, my look is already funny enough.  (Will you impersonate (Kate) Tsui Tsz Shan again?))  Actually I have said several dozen times, she was impersonating me.  Because I have been in the business for over 20 years, she has been in it for less than ten."

[2012.03.28] PETER CHAN FINALLY CALLS SANDRA NG "OLD LADY"

Peter Chan Ho Sun and Sandra Ng Kwan Yu yesterday attended the 36th Hong Kong International Film Festival -- Filmmaker in Focus.  Chan Ho Sun's work, poster and costumes were on display.  Chan Ho Sun, Ng Kwan Yu and their daughter attended as well as Kwan Yu's parents, Anita Yuen Wing Yi, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui and others.  Chan Ho Sun said that last July his mother was seriously ill, the film festival invited him to be the filmmaker in focus.  At the time he was conflicted, after spending several months he finally decided to do it.  The film festival also published a book for him to look back at the first half of his life.  He said, "Some places would make friends uncomfortable, but some are worth being proud of."  At this time, Peter could not help but wipe away his tears.  He thanked his parents, his departed mother and daughter Chan Si Chi, as well as the old lady who has to tolerate him for several more decades.

Reporters told Peter that this was the first time he called Kwan Yu his wife.  Peter said, "It's just a line, no difference, we have been together for a long time already."  Kwan Yu did not pay attention to Peter calling her old lady but instead hated this title the most.  She said, "It makes me all old, once a flight attendant called me Mrs. Chan, I immediately debated for a long time."  Peter also said, "Old lady and Mrs. Chan are two different matter.  Mrs. Chan comes with a man, old lady is a relationship, an equal to a old man."  Kwan Yu said that at first she thought about giving their daughter her last name because their daughter usually liked to be close to her mother, but finally decided to give her her father's last name.

As for Peter's tearful speech, Peter said, "Because at the time Mommy was sick, by middle age a person experiences a lot.  Friends tell me that I am a very stubborn and very subjective person.  Working with me is pretty painful.  I never yell at anyone, scolding is always the dumbest."  Kwan Yu also said, "I was the most sentimental that Peter said having to tolerate several more decades.  My heart had chills, he already tolerated me for 15 years."  Kwan Yu jokingly said to Peter, "Change a little."  Which was Chan Ho Sun's favorite work?  He said that he liked them almost all evenly, his favorite was PERHAPS LOVE (YU GOR OI).

Yuen Wing Yi said that when she watched the footage her memory came back.  She said, "At the time film productions were very happy, had team spirit.  Aside from Best Actress, Peter also got me the Best Newcomer."  Did Yuen Wing Yi still have the acting bug?  She said that she has not retired yet.  Peter also told her not to be in a hurry and to have patience, because being in a hurry would not yield performance.  She said, "Peter also told me to read more books, which would improve my aura, because my aura now has gone to the direct side."

Mr., Alex Lam Tak Shun and Mag Lam Yun Tung yesterday attended a Metro Radio interview to promote their film LIVES IN FLAMES (HEI SAI YIU GWUN).  In the film Mr.'s Dash was paired with Jeana, lead singer Alan was paired with Lam yun Tung.  Reporters joked that Dash was lucky, he said, "The grass is always greener on the other side.  I feel Lam Yun Tung has an attractive quality.  She very clearly has her own ideas.  Nowadays few girls are so tough, working for several dozen hours and still working professionally.  She has her attitude."  He also said that he often saw Lam Yun Tung writing songs with her guitar.  Did he admire Lam Yun Tung more than Jeana?  He said, "I admire both.  Jeana is very hard working, both are talented, one with the figure and the other with talent."  Dash also revealed that George Lam Chi Cheung's son Lam Tak Shun on the set was very popular with the girls, but he joked that like his father he too was a man of few words.  He joked that their home should be very low carbon because no on spoke.

As for being popular with girls, Lam Tak Shun immediately blushed and said, "No, on the set I neither slept or listened to music."  Would he invite his father to the movie?  He admitted that he would not watch it with his father because watching his own performance was somewhat awkward.
