Anthony Chan Yau, Jonathan Wong Chee Hynn, Carlos Chan Ka
Lok, Ng Hok Him yesterday promoted their film THE HOUSE OF THE RISING
SONS (HING DAI BAN). The story was based on the Wynners' experience in
their youth. Playing the young Chan Yau, Ah Him had the least acting
experience. Wong Chee Hynn said that Ah Him's nickname was "Off"
because he often ran off. Chan Yau said, "Ah Him was very precise with
his drum beats, but his life beat was completely wrong. He would
disappear at meals and on the set." Ah Him explained, "Because I just
left the Sil Hung Mo band, I had some negative emotions. I didn't want
to affect the team." Chan Yau said that he did not yell at Ah Him for his
behavior, instead he comforted him that life had ups and downs.
Chee Hynn said that as the director Chan Yau really took care of
Ah Him, Ka Lok immediately got jealous. "The director was very
accepting or loving toward other new actors, he would hug them. Yet I
had a crying scene he didn't hug me, he didn't comfort me either." Chan
Yau said, "You expected that, because Ka Lok was rich with acting
experience he knew how to take care of himself. At first when I asked Ka
Lok to play the young Pang Kin Sun, everyone thought when was Kin Jai was
handsome? Actually when he was young he was very handsome. Later his
look changed with age."
Chan Yau said that he treated all the actors the same, he would
take care of everyone. Ah Him was a new actor. Some said that he looked
like he was acting the least. This was the power of a new actor. Chee
Hynn played the very important big brother in the young Wynners. He sang
well and performed decently.
The film 77 HEARTBREAKS (YUEN LEUNG TA 77 CHI) lead
actress Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin and C Kwan worked together for the first
time in a film. With his always mischievous image, C Kwan made Ah Sa
say that the hardest part about working with him was trying not to laugh.
C Kwan's appearance already was full of comedic feel, with his film
costume he cracked up Ah Sa and the crew on the set. C Kwan could not
help but say about his costume that it was unforgivable.
Ah Sa remembered in one of the scenes, the rich C Kwan felt in
love at first sight with Ah Sa then started pursuing her. He even
proposed to her at her friend J.Arie's wedding ceremony. Ah Sa stated
that it was truly too painful because she had to try not to laugh. Each
time she looked at C Kwan's serious expression but naturally funny face,
Ah Sa did not know what to do. C Kwan the comedy expert during the shoot
often "caused trouble" with his improvisation and created a lot of laughs.
On one hand C Kwan proposed to Ah Sa, on the other hand Pakho Chau
appeared and knelt to Ah Sa in hope of her forgiving him. Ah Sa cried
for help because Ah Sa was full of conflict with Pakho, she did not know
whether she would continue to forgive Pakho. Yet with C Kwan, she would
crack up due to him and ruin the scene. However Ah Sa said that actually
C Kwan contributed a lot. During the shoot he brought the cast and the
crew endless joy.

the 23rd. The farewell ceremony was Buddhist, the decoration was simple.
Yu So Chau's coffin was placed in the center of the hall. Her daughter
Mak Kam Ling chose the photo, when Mama returned to Hong Kong to attend
the Seven Little Fortunes 50th Anniversary with sunglasses and in a
Chinese dress. Next to the photo was fresh white flowers; on the other
side of the hall was a big screen television, showing Yu So Chau and
husband Mak Bing Wing's two classic films, THE LEGEND OF MADAME WHITE
SNAKE and LODGING OF A COMPLAINTS BEFORE THE IMPERIAL COURT BY THE YOUNG
AMAZONS, for attending family and friends to relive their past film
glory.
Son Mak Yiu Man has lived with his mother for almost 50 years.
He was not used to the passing of his mother, as he especially missed
Mother would make coffee and fix breakfast for him every morning. Now
the home just felt empty. He said, "With Mother's passing, the family
has been very heartbroken. However seeing Mother's smile when she passed
she was still very beautiful. Her peaceful appearance comforted the
family very much." As the funeral wear was shipped from Hong Kong, as
he wanted to make the funeral its best.
"Seven Little Fortunes" disciples Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung Kam Bo,
Yuen Biao, Yuen Qiu, Yuen Wah, Yuen Bun and others were unable to attend
the farewell ceremony in person but still sent flowers from across the
seas as their final salute to their big sister. Disciples of Yu So Chau's
father Yu Jim Yuen like Yuen Nin, Yuen Mui, Yuen Yuen, Yuen Jing all went
from Los Angeles, San Ramon and other places to San Francisco to attend
their elder's funeral.
The family would arrange for Yu So Chau to be buried next to her
husband Mak Bing Wing. The family will donate all the gift to the Fo
Guang Shan San Bao Temple in San Francisco. They were considering another
ceremony in Hong Kong for friends who were unable to attend the ceremony
in the U.S. and bid farewell to Yu So Chau.

The Venus Wong Man Yik starred film LUCKY BOY (TIN GUNG
JAI) earlier opened in Singapore. In the film she played a righteous
Singaporean student. Playing a school girl again, Wong Man Yik admitted
that this character was more stubborn. Seeing the male lead's ex bullying
him, she stood up for him and chased her with her exclusive weapon of
feather duster.
Speaking of her kiss scene with lead actor Wang Weiliang, Wong
Yik Man said that she did not tell her boyfriend Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung
ahead of time. He had no idea. She said, "I probably didn't tell him.
It doesn't matter. He probably wouldn't be able to see this Singapore
release. In addition he is very busy, he wouldn't have to worry. Haha."

The Miriam Yeung Chin Wa and Shawn Yue Man Lok starred
LOVE OFF THE CUFF (CHUN GIU GAU JI MING) broke the HK$ 30 million mark.
Two days ago a celebration took place but the lead actor was not in Hong
Kong. Chin Wa and the director both said that Lok Jai was "out of line"
for not coming to the celebration. Chin Wa even took the chance to make
Lok Jai to take out HK$ 10,000 for another dinner.
Attending the celebration was boss Peter Lam Kin Ngok, actors
Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Susan Shaw Yam Yam, Jo Kuk Cho Lam, June Lam Siu
Ha and others. Speaking of the absent Lok Jai posting photos of sand
and sun online, Chin Wa said, "He went to make a commercial. No problem,
when he comes back he has to take us to dinner. Earlier we took guesses
at the box office, I guessed HK$ 42 million, Lok Jai guessed HK$ 45
million and the director guessed HK$ 48 million. Now I am the closest so
he loses. He can shoot whatever he wants, but he has to take HK$ 10,000
for dinner."
Andy Lau Tak Wa had to cancel his year end concert series due to
injury, tempting many singers. Even Nancy Sit Ka Yin wanted the Hong
Kong Coliseum date and even asked Chin Wa and Justin Lo (Juk Tin) to give
her a few days. Would Chin Wa give in to her elder? She said, "Don't
say it like that. The company applied for the date but hasn't received
any news. I didn't take too many days. I am not so greedy. (The
schedule) should be enough for several people. Actually at first I wanted
to spend my birthday at the HK Coliseum, but Wa Jai was injured. I don't
know whether the HK Coliseum dates would change. If I don't get it this
year I will try again next year. (Will you invite your co-stars to the
stage?) At the concert I would force Yue Man Lok to appear on the stage,
haha."
The director agreed with Chin Wa and wanted Lok Jai to take them
to dinner. Would he make another film in the series? He said, "I won't
make a fourth film, but this year I will make a 13 episode television
series about the monster that appeared in the film. It specializes in
eating little girls. (Would you ask Yue Man Lok to play it?) That's
good, he is right for it. We have to shoot in Taiwan. If he doesn't
eat a little girl in seven days he would turn into a monster, if he
does then he would turn into Yue Man Lok!"
