Tony Leung Ka Fai in his new film CHASING THE DRAGON II
WILD WILD BUNCH (JUI LUNG II CHAK WONG) played a crime lord of a
generation Cheung Chi Keung. The public learned little about the
character, mostly from the cases that was uncovered after his arrest.
Leung Ka Fai earlier spoke with Hong Kong Open Television host Cathy Chek
Wing Shan about the character and memorable scenes, as well as his sweet
life with his wife.
The crime lord of a generation Cheung Chi Keung's story has been
adapted many times with many actors, but the public knew little about
the character. Cathy asked would this add to the difficulty of grasping
the character for Leung Ka Fai? Leung Ka Fai said, "The public doesn't
know much, which actually to the actor is a good thing. The look and the
character have no chance for impersonation, which instead can provide
even greater degree of creative freedom." Leung Ka Fai also recalled in
one of the scenes, he brought many durians to share with the brothers.
Due to different angles, he had a lot. He joked, "I had to walk while I
ate, I remembered Props ordered several cases of Gold Pillow. I alone
probably had two to three cases. Now whenever durian is mentioned I
would immediately be shaking in my boots!"

In this world, there are many people who seem to be wandering along a relationship borderlining 'friends' and 'lovers'. Palm is one of those who has been stuck in the friend zone with his best friend, Gink, for 10 years. During high school, he tried to cross the line by confessing his feelings for her. But Gink simply rejected him, saying that "being friends is good enough." Since then, Palm and Gink have grown closer as true best friends. One day, Gink asks Palm out of the blue, "have you wondered...what if we were an item?" Right then, sparks fly wildly inside Palm's mind, knowing that this might be the only chance for him to cross the borderline. Although, Palm has no way of knowing if leaving the FRIEND ZONE this time will lead him to the beginning of his romantic love life or to the end of his friendship with Gink for good.

Stephy Tang Lai Yun and Ling Man Lung two days ago worked
on their film CHAN YING HUNG GAN (RUINED SHADOW SPACE) at a senior home.
It happened to be Ling Man Lung's 33rd birthday, for which the team
presented a cake and sang the birthday song. He was very touched.
"When work started I was mentally prepared to play this character with
psychological disorder. I didn't expect that at dinner someone would
celebrate my birthday. I was surprised, happy and touched, but after
that I had to pick up my emotions again to play a not so happy role."
As for his birthday wish he said, "I hope that my creations and my work
would be able to affect culture and society. This is my dramatic
dream."
David Siu Chung Hung two days ago while working on the film
MO YEH CHA (FEMALE YAKSHA) hit his head on the camera and went to
the hospital for five stitches. Yesterday he said, "The shot had me
running into the camera, maybe because the environment was too muggy
everyone was a little tired. The crew accidentally rammed the camera
into me." Although blood was streaming down, he did not want to affect
the production and kept working despite the pain. After the shoot the
crew rushed him to the hospital for treatment. Would he stop working
and rest? He said that yesterday he originally was resting, today's
scenes would be postponed as he would return to work tomorrow.
The film FUN YUN DIK TUNG WA? (THE FAIRY TALE OF MARRIAGE?)
two nights ago held a production wrap banquet. Rose Chan Ka Wun,
Jacquelin Chong Sze Man, Eddie Kwan Lai Kit, Connie Man Hoi Kit and
Checkley Sin Kwok Lam attended.
Chan Ka Wun revealed that in the film she would play a third party
that interjected into Kwai Lai Kit's marriage. They had a hotel scene.
Originally she was arranged to wear a bathrobe but Master Sin at the last
minute asked her to appear only in a towel. That day happened to be that
time of the moth for her, she felt weak and during the shoot she was
completely cold. "Brother Kit was worried that I would catch a cold. In
that scene we had skin to skin contact. Everyone should go to see how it
would turn out!"
Lately Ka Wun has been linked to Bosco Wong Chung Chap. Did she
celebrate on May 20th? Ka Wun joked, "520 only is I love you in
Putonghua, in Cantonese it don't love you." Did Bosco make his feeling
known? She said that she would not call "those people" and had to go to
dinner with the team. Was she not afraid that calling Bosco "those
people" would make him very disappointed? Ka Wun said that she had to
focus on dinner with the team and would not pay him any mind.
Chong Sze Man in the film played a socialite. The performance
was more relaxed, whenever she appeared she was be at afternoon tea or
sunbathing at sea. "520" did not make her feel bad. She admitted that
she would be careful with the opposite sex and joked that swindlers would
never run out of ideas. She even said that someone who has said that he
would divorce his wife wanted to pursue her. Thus she would observe
careful and even rely on her friends to remind her. She also went
drinking with a suitor once, after he got drunk he turned to pursue her
female friends. Since then she was no longer in contact with him.
Taiwan group Mayday two nights ago came to Hong Kong to
attend the 3D MAYDAY LIFE premiere. Ashin mentioned that earlier Tony
Leung Ka Fai was a guest at their concert and in their music video.
"Brother Ka Fai made the concert better. Maybe the new generation doesn't
know that actually Brother Ka Fai has released a record before." Leung
Ka Fai also performed in the film 3D MAYDAY LIFE. Ashin was very moved
and definitely would invite him to watch it. The film not only had
Mayday concert footage but also the band in heroic roles and action
scenes. They hoped that the Easter egg at the end would bring the
audience a surprise. He said that the 3D version would be more
awesome as the audience would feel the rocking effect. They said,
"Everyone has a hero in their hearts. They should be more confident in
themselves because even Mayday can become heroes. However, making the
film actually is a physical challenge because it has a lot of action
scenes."
