The film THE CALLING OF A BUS DRIVER (AH SOK DIK GOO SI) last night held a premiere. Attending actors included Philip Keung Ho Man, Jacky Cai Jie, Alex Fong Lik Sun, Susan Shaw Yam Yam, Man Suet Yi and others. Hak Jai said that he looked forward to the audience being able to bring the positive energy home after watching the film. As for the 4th wave of the pandemic, Hak Jai admitted that he worried that last night's premiere would have no way to take place. As for the box office he said, "I don't get to worry about that. The box office is trivial, safety and Health is the most important!" Cai Jie said, "The 4th wave of the pandemic has arrived. Of course I hope the audience will be able to see our work, but it would depend on the arrangement that put safety first!"

Cai Jai is working on the new TVB series FIGHTING (KUEN WONG), but earlier while shooting on location in Kwun Tong neighbors complained about the traffic it caused. Cai Jie said that she, Brian Chu Man Hon and Owen Cheung Chun Long had to stop a car. However they did not know about the arrangement until they were on site. The team also said that next time the arrangement would be a little better.

Ivana Wong Yuen Chi revealed that earlier she attended audience appreciation events under the pandemic. When she saw the audience showing their support in masks she felt very moved, she hoped that the movie would be able to bring everyone positive energy. Was she worried that the government would suddenly close cinemas? She said, "I wouldn't be worried, I live in the now. Today I cherish today's audience, tomorrow I will cherish tomorrow's audience." To be able to work and promote with other actors was her honor. In addition, she mentioned that she was extra careful under the pandemic because she often had to go out for work, she would wear masks when she played mahjong with her parents.

Danny Chan Kwok Kwan, Pierre Ngo Ka Nin, Chan Kwok Bong and Ashina Kwok Yik Sum two nights ago attended the film QUAN DAO: THE JOURNEY OF A BOXER (KUEN DOH)'s premiere. It happened to be Kwok Yik Sum's 25th birthday, so the crew presented a birthday cake to celebrate. Kwok Yik Sum joked that after age 25, she probably would no longer publicize her age again to avoid any awkwardness. Did she wish for a date for her birthday? Currently single she said, "I want to, I want to find a good man, but it's very hard. Right work comes first." She revealed that the previous relationship ended 2 years ago, they understood each other and broke up. Her former was in the business, but she declined to reveal his identity. She did not want to say too much either, as she did not want to be like promoting for someone else.

Chan Kwok Kwan stated that recently he became "unemployed". He said, "I just got back to Hong Kong. I recently finished the quarantine so I can go out. Next month I will return to the Mainland for work. I haven't been at home for over four months. (Does your son recognize you?) He would be able to even if I turn into dust. My son can't be happier when he sees me. Because Mommy (Emme Wong Yi Man) is strict, when I come back he can do stuff that Mommy wouldn't let him."

Ngo Ka Nin recently returned to TVB for a series FRAUD TROUPE (HEI JA KET TUEN). In the series he played a director, for which he even grew a moustache. He joked that his role might be a swindler, but he robbed the rich to help the poor. He also revealed that in the series he and Angel Chiang Ka Man would have a romance. He joked that he would like to have more romantic scenes.

Television's Best Actor Vincent Wong Ho Shun starred in the series LEGAL MAVERICK (CHAI GOR GAI) won both words of mouth and ratings. The ratings of the second series on Mainland online platforms almost matched the first. In addition his Shaw series THE IMPOSSIBLE 3 has been a hit, which made his popularity rise! TVB immediately released him north to make money and even "cross over" to be the lead actor in a special forces role, risking his life in a series of dangerous action stunts!

Earlier after his quarantine came to an end, Ho Shun immediately attended a series press conference with Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Samantha Ko Hoi Ning and others. Reportedly he has already flown to Yunnan to prepare for his debut as a lead actor in an action film. In it he would play a special forces soldier that required him to be in superb physical condition. He has been training with a professional coach, even working out while under quarantine at his Mainland hotel in order to handle all the action scenes. Due to the tight schedule, reportedly he had to turn down many Mainland performance opportunities.

Andy Lau Tak Wa recently has been busy with promoting his two upcoming new film releases SHOCK WAVE 2 (CHAK DAN JUEN GA 2) and FIND YOUR VOICE (YIT HUET HUP CHEUNG TUEN). Actually Wa Jai recently has already begun production on another new film and currently working in Shenzhen. Someone in the Mainland ran into the location shoot in Shenzhen and realized that the lead was Lau Tak Wa and guessed that Wa Jai began work on the new film after 14 days in quarantine in Shenzhen. Aside from Wa Jai Mainland actress Yang Zishan also took part.

Wa Jai wore a mask and a brown coat and carried a bag on the set. In another scene Wa Jai was dressed like a doctor in a blue surgical cap and mask, a white doctor robe and a big jacket to keep warm. He looked very much like a medical professional. The film was a movie about the pandemic. Wa Jai in the film played a doctor in the front line of fighting the pandemic. However the film's plot and title so far have yet to be confirmed, conceivably it probably used this year's pandemic as the blueprint for the story.

Endy Chow Kwok Yin, Wong Yau Nam, Ben Yuen Fu Wa and others two nights ago attended the 17th Hong Kong Asian Flm Festival closing ceremony and the ONE SECOND CHAMPION (YUT MIU KUEN WONG) premiere. This year's "Asia's New Director Award" went to MOVING ON's Korean director Yoon Dan-Bi. Due to the pandemic Yoon Dan-Bi was unable to personally accept the award in Hong Kong. The event would present the award to her later.

Rumored to be suffering from returning depression, Endy Chow Kwok Yin did not accept any interview. He looked spirited on the stage though as he shared his ONE SECOND CHAMPION (YUT MIU KUEN WONG)'s production experience. He said that he did not know about boxing, so he had to start from zero with his training and getting in shape. His on screen son Hung Cheuk Lok said that Chow Kwok yin would ask him to eat chicken breast with him, but he said, "I didn't. I was afraid that if he gave me any he would starve." Everyone cracked up. Wong Yau Nam said he played a father for the first time. because he had to play a mean Papa, as soon as he started work he had to slap his on screen son. He almost did not do it. "The child was only 5 or 6. If it was real I wouldn't be able to. Each time I would explain to him, luckily he had production experience so he was able to understand." He also said that when he was little his father hit him, the worst time was because he pretended to be sick to skip school. "Once in secondary school I didn't get hit anyway. I remember the most that he told me I was grown, if he hit me I might hit him back or leave home. He might as well explain things to me."

Ben Yuen Fu Wa played a former champion. He joked that even former champion should still be in shape. He thought about training with other actors, but he said that he was old. He was better off staying at home and doing some simple exercise to keep fit. Speaking of other jobs, Yuen Fu Wa was grateful that he still had movies to make under the pandemic. He hoped that the Hong Kong film industry would be able to provide even more jobs to people in different positions. 2020 has been a difficult time, he hoped everyone would be able to improve themselves and persevere.
