The Chan Kwok Kwan, Jordan Chan Su Chun, Sam Lee Chan Sam, Justin Cheung Kin Sing and Emme Wong Yi Man starred series OCTB (FAN HAK) received decent response and received 1.38 billion hits. Two nights ago the team celebrated.

Cheung Kin Sing gained weight in recent months, actually he was doing it for a movie again! He said, "Recently I am working a movie that I really like, a movie that is based on the video game DYNASTY WARRIORS. I play Zhang Fei. At first my boss Stephen Shiu Jr. gave me three months to work out, to turn from my normal shape into the Incredible Hulk. Originally I was almost there, but during the costume fitting I realized I had to be fatter to be more like the game character. So in the end I gained weight and gave up three months worth of muscles. I gained back 15 pounds in a month."

The Raymond Wong Pak Ming produced, David Lam Tak Luk directed, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Julian Cheung Chi Lam and Kevin Cheng Ka Wing starred film L STORM (L FUNG BO) earlier officially wrapped up production. The 21st was Koo Tin Lok's birthday. Boss Wong Pak Ming, director Lam Tak Luk and the team prepared two cakes to celebrate Goo Jai as a surprise. That day they shot a scene in which ICAC Goo Jai and the Independent Commission Against Corruption L Team (internal order investigation team)'s Ka Wing and Adam fought on a yacht and chase at sea. Goo Jai and Ka Wing went after a criminal on a speedboat. Although it was a morning shoot, everyone was energetic at the shoot and not tired at all. Each actor personally performed the numerous dangerous stunts.

At lunch birthday boy Goo Jai was invited to cut the cake with he boss, the director and the actors on the yacht and celebrate with red wine. The team even sang the birthday song for Goo Jai. Due to the strong wind, the team could not light the candles and finally Goo Jai had to light them himself. As for his birthday wish, Goo Jai said, "Good health! In addition everyone shouldn't just donate money but help even more people in need with action!" The boss said hat he wished for the film to be a big box office hit and treated the entire team to afternoon tea.

When all the shoot was done, everyone celebrated with champagne. This was already the third STORM film for Goo Jai and thus he and the team had great chemistry. When he took photos with the team he even expressed hope for a reunion in the fourth film. When he took the speedboat back to the pier he kept waving farewell. Ka Wing looked forward to the film release. Just this chase at sea scene took four days to shoot and used seven vessels to assist with the shoot.

[2017.10.24] CHRISSIE CHAU WANTS TO "CUT OFF" HER FIRST LOVE

Stephy Tang Lai Yan and Chrissie Chau Sau Na earlier promoted their new film HUSBAND KILLERS (NUI JI FOOK SAU) in Kuohsiung, Taiwan.

Although they ran into a cheater in the film, but luckily they did not have similar experience in reality. Sister Na said, "Once I ran into my first boyfriend with another girl on the streets, I broke down on the spot and thought about revenge -- like hitting him, cutting him, kicked him and slapped her a few times. Yet I just thought about it. This time in HUSBAND I finally was able to fulfill the fantasy, it was great!"

Stephy admitted that revenge for women was more difficult. She would rather avenge herself alone, instead of finding a conspirator. She said, "Such a deranged and funny movie actually got me teary eyed! Thank you Director for making us look very cool and saying what women think. It's very relatable!"

Louisa So Yuk Wa, Alice Lau Nga Lai, Law Koon Lan, Tse Kwan Ho and director Clifton Ko Chi Sum yesterday attended I HAVE A DATE WITH SPRING (NGOR WOR CHUN TIN YAU GOR YEUK WUI) high definition restored version screening in Kowloon Bay. Only Fung Wai Hung did not attend out of the four lead actresses.

Ah So said that she very much looked forward to watching the restored version because she would be able to see many former co-stars and bring back a lot of memories for her. At the time she was in her 20s and just graduated, Ko Chi Sum took the risky and used a group of newcomers on the production. The simple and innocent feelings could not be done today. She also said that after the restoration the film picture quality was elevated. She hoped that later it would be able to continue its run at the movies.

Tse Kwan Ho said that occasionally he would watch this film again. When he made this film he just started, his acting was immature and he did not know anything. He said, "It's like all the feeling of first love coming back." Would he like to work with the original team again? Kwan Ho said that he definitely would if such an opportunity arose. Ah So said that it would definitely be an event and salary would be an after thought.

Ko Chi Sum said that this film meant a lot to him. He felt deeply for this film because at the time he mortgaged his home to the bank and spent HK$ 2.5 million on the production. Luckily it was released in Hong Kong for 4 months and made HK$ 23 million in the end. He did not have to sleep under an overpass. This time he spent over six figures on the restoration. Would the restored version be released at the cinema? He said that he would decide depending on the audience reaction. He said, "This time the most meaningful is everyone getting back together after 23 years. Everyone is in a great state of mind." Would he work with the original team again? Ko Chi Sum revealed that over half a year ago he already wrote the sequel script, which would be a prequel and a sequel. He is looking for investors.

Famous Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai received the 9th Lyon "Lumiere Award", the first Hong Kong filmmaker to receive the honor. He attended with his wife Esther to accept the award and invited her to the stage to share the honor. He even lovingly said that the award was dedicated to "my muse".

After opening for almost a week, Lyon Lumiere Film Festival on the 20th held an award ceremony. Many excellent filmmakers attended, including Wong Kar Wai's long time collaboration, famous cinematographer Christopher Doyle (To Ho Fung); Zhang Ziyi was unable to attend but send a video to congratulate him. Famous French actress Isabelle Adjani presented the award to Wong Kar Wai.

Wong Kar Wai said, "Thank you to the Lumirere Brothers, they gave us he chance to achieve the light and shadow dreams of our hearts." Looking back at his over 30 year long film journey, Wong Kar Wai gratefully said, "Thank you film fans for your support, thank you to all my collaborators. They made every one of my films possibly."

Wong Kar Wai even gave special thanks to his wife and son for their support. He invited his wife to the stage to share the honor. Speaking of his wife, Wong Kar Wai said, "To keep from disturbing me, she very rarely goes to the set. She gives me room so I can focus on my work even more, but her support has always been there. In movies, each of those extreme charming female character I created had shades of her. This is also he reason that her name is always the first to appear on the screen in my own films. Tonight, I want to dedicate this award to my muse and invite her to the stage to celebrate with me." Finally he even thanked the Lumiere Film Festival for presenting this award to him in French.

Wong Kar Wai not only met with filmmakers and viewers at the master class but also had a special screening of FALLEN ANGEL after the award ceremony. On the 22nd at the film festival closing ceremony, the all new 4K restored IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE will make its global premiere as the closing film.

[2017.10.21] SANDRA NG TURNS ALEX FONG CHUNG SHUN BALD



courtesy of on.cc

After GOLDEN CHICKENSSS and 12 GOLDEN DUCKS, Sandra Ng Kwan Yu will have yet another Christmas release! In her new film YIU YIU LING she not only starred but directed. She appeared in curly short hair and thick eyebrows to catch ghost. For her directing debut, Kwan Yu asked friends Alex Fong Chung Shun and Francis Ng Chun Yu to join in. In the film Chun Yu wore a fringed leather jacket to play an over the hill Wise Guy, white Fong Chung Shun played a "balding uncle"!

Because Kwan Yu kept the entire production under wrap, when the trailer was released it spread like mad online. She of course was happy about how popular the trailer has been. As for her friends sacrificing their looks, she said, "You can't say that, it was a lot of fun! They rarely look like that, which is very convincing and suitable for their actual age. The two of them are well maintained and their appearance doesn't match their age!"

Peter Chan Ho Sun produced the film. Earlier when they promoted in the Mainland, Kwan Yu said that they constantly "passionately" communicated. Chan Ho Sun said that Ng Kwan Yu as the director this time was like a child playing with fire. "You have to stop her, but every time you do she yells at you!"
