When he learned that Lau Chun Him also wanted to be a director, Ka Fai immediately persuaded, "Don't be stupid! It's so hard!" He also joked, "As a director you should ask me to make the movie! Got it?" Chun Him joked that he would create a character who constantly gives away hearts, "Brother Heart". Ka Fai heard the and said: "I can play the role, I can't do it in real life. For a character I can even take off my pants!"

The Ronald Cheng Chung Kei and Mark Wu Yiu Fai co-directed and starred movie ATONEMENT (AH LUNG) wrapped up production in 2018 and will be released in April this year. In the past six months Cheng Chung Kei had a "manager turmoil", and revealed that he was suffering from depression and alcoholism. His wife accompanied him to the United States to quit drinking. His YouTube channel, RTV (Running Television), has lost its soul, and its artists occasionally made new videos. Cheng Chung Kei pointed out that the former manager Ho Hing Sheung had problems with his work and ethics and left the position, which became a hot topic online. Due to the release of ATONEMENT, Cheng Chung Kei will face media interviews for publicity, and he would inevitably be asked about his relationship with Ho Hing Sheung.

The movie tells the story of Ah Lung (Cheng Chung Kei) and his 8-year-old daughter (Fu Shun Ying) going on vacation in Thailand, and local human trafficking syndicate abducts his daughter. Ah Lung risks everything and becomes an avenger with blood on his hands. From creation to the birth of the film, Cheng Chung Kei's most difficult task is to train a strong body, and experience weight gain and weight loss in half a year. In the special feature on the production, his fitness process is fully exposed. He says that the birth of ATONEMENT is based on news reports, and some parents planted the root cause of trouble due to negligence of their children. He wanted to bring out a message through this movie, "As soon as you take your eyes off your children, it might become a big mistake".

Before the filming of ATONEMENT, Cheng Chung Kei spent half a year on training. The hardest thing was to keep eating, otherwise he would not be muscular enough. Later he began to diet to slim down, only eating chicken breasts. He even ran for his physical fitness. Cheng Chung Kei was not satisfied with his state, but the boss and Wu Yiu Fai were. He also could not tell the production team to keep waiting.

The movie PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) was Nick Cheung Ka Fai written, directed and starred. He was also the lead singer of the movie theme song ETERNAL INSOMNIA, the song and music video would be launched on the 28th of this month. Ka Fai said that every position is challenging and stressful. If he has the opportunity to do so, he would like to focus on only one job.

ETERNAL INSOMNIA was Ka Fai sung, and the music video starred Ka Fai and Fala Chen. Ka Fai joked, "Because of the limited production budget, I also sang the theme song of KEEPER OF DARKNESS (TOR DEI KUI MOR YUN) to save money. I have a starring role in the film. I hope to bring out even more room for the audience to fantasize. As for inviting Fala Chen to shoot the music video, she is also the lead actress in the movie. She works on the music video because I want to continue the role in the film." Very passionate about singing, Ka Fai only took two or three hours to complete the recording of the theme song this time. In the music video, Ka Fai had a scene of dancing on the water. He said that the director requested him to dance, and he just cooperated.

Mark Lui Chung Tak composed the song and Chu Lam wrote the lyrics. Mark said, "I remember walking with my dog that day, when I received a call from Ka Fai's manager. I found out that I needed to write a movie theme song. They told me the story of PEG O' MY HEART, after hearing it I was very touched and full of inspiration. So I immediately thought of ETERNAL INSOMNIA's chorus lyrics and melody." In an instant, he recorded the melody of the whole song on his mobile phone, and his creative time may have only taken a few dozen minutes because he was very excited about the subject matter of the movie. Mark added, "I have worked with Ka Fai on KEEPER OF DARKNESS before. I have always admired his acting skills, determination to do things and his love for his wife, so I think his interpretation of this song can be said to be 100 points. His skill in using his voice to express feelings is beyond any doubt, I also love this work deeply. With my preference for Ka Fai, it is logical to score 100 points."

The movie THE WAY WE TALK (HONG NGOR GUM TIN JUM MOR SUET) held a charity screening of the "Caring For Children Foundation" the night before, with Khaki Leung Choi Yi as the emcee. The film's producer Jacqueline Liu Yuen Hung and actor Marco Ng Tsz Ho, Vice Chairman of the "CFC Foundation" Ho Lai Chuen , as well as CFCF star volunteers To Yin Gor, Venus Wong Man Yik and Michelle Yim (Mai Suet), who had throat discomfort, showed up to support the event. During the event, Liu Yuen Hung called on everyone to support the film and pay attention to and respect the hearing-impaired, while Ng Tsz Ho even said that if the box office would be good, he would perform Hip Hop dance to thank the audience.

Wong Man Yik's husband Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung did not accompany her. She smiled and pointed out that her husband was busy, but she herself was also busy with film and television. Currently working on a new film, she would appear without make up in the film. She described it as a challenge. The production of the new drama QUEEN OF NEWS 2 will start in the middle of next month, which could be called seamless and fortunately the two had no schedule overlap. "If the schedules really overlap, I will still work on them. I am only afraid that breaking continuity, fortunately such a situation has not occurred for the time being. I can concentrate on playing each role." Speaking of Charmaine Sheh Sze Man joking about catching up on the QUEEN OF NEWS 2 script like she was collecting debts, Wong Man Yi said, "I am catching up on the script like a novel, because the plot of the last series is wonderful. This episode would also be very exciting, the plot is so enjoyable. Every character has evolved, so I have asked the screenwriters when there will be a new script." The first season has caused a great response, would that add to the pressure of the second season? She admitted that she was the master of nervousness, when she was nervous her sleep could be affected. Her skin would deteriorate and her skin would become like a rash, but this time she did not because she was more excited than nervous. Would she ask her director husband for acting advice? She laughed and said that the two of them have a clear distinction between public and private. It was more appropriate to ask the team she was working with for work problems, unless they encounter production problems. Then she would ask her husband for advice.

In addition, veteran actor To Yin Gor left TVB. He said that this year would be the 50th year he has been in the industry, and he has also cooperated with TVB for more than 30 years. Thus he really wanted some changes, just like changing the tracks. He would try to work with different teams, making more movies and producing programs, such as going to some mountainous areas that are rarely visited by tourists for in-depth tours. It could be both a tourism and food programs, but also introduce local people's customs and products to achieve a win-win situation. Would he work on TVB dramas again? He said, "We broke up happily. TVB was very good to me, and took the initiative to give me raises twice. Maybe the TV station lacks actors of my age, so if there is a suitable script we can work together again." As for his wife Han Ma Lei, he said that his wife was in very good health and did not mind working as a husband and wife team. However it would depend on the script as they would not want to be too deliberate. However he would not ask his wife to travel in depth because it would be too hard.

The movie TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) set off a "walled city fever" after its release in Japan last month, and many actors and "barbecued pork rice" in the film became popular. In order to thank the Japanese audience, Louis Koo Tin Lok and director Soi Cheang Pou Soi led the "Three Sons of the Walled City" Raymond Lam Fung, Tony Wu Tsz Tung and German Cheung Man Kit to attend two audience appreciation performances at a cinema in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and interacted with the audience. It was rumored that the tickets for 2,500 yen (about HK$130) were price scalped to 65,000 yen (about HK$3,400).

When Koo Tin Lok and his group of five people appeared in the theater, the entire audience cheered. Koo Tin Lok took the lead in greeting the audience in Japanese, "Hello everyone, I'm Koo Tin Lok, I love you." Lam Fung went on to say that he was very happy that everyone liked TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN and hoped to bring another good work in the future. Wu Tsz Tung revealed that he will start filming the second and third movies related to TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS in the future, and will try his best to cooperate with the director. Like Koo Tin Lok, Cheung Man Kit greeted the audience in Japanese as well and said, "I love you." He also made the heart gestures.

The host announced that as of the day before yesterday, TWILILGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN had more than 130,000 viewers in Japan, and its box office exceeded 200 million yen (about HK$10.4 million). Koo Tin Lok, director Cheang Pou Soi, Lam Fung, Wu Tsz Tung, and Cheung Man Kit were very happy. The host asked the audience how many times have they watched TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN? Some said 20 times, and Koo Tin Lok and others were surprised and excited. Director Cheang Pou Soi admitted that the popularity of TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN in Japan surprised him. He believed that there were many factors, including the presence of comic book elements in the action scenes and the recreation of the Kowloon Walled City. He admitted that his fondness for Japanese anime and mange since childhood has influenced him, and the friendship described in the movie were the reasons why everyone liked it.

A group of actors were asked about memorable scenes in the film. Koo Tin Lok said that it was Lam Fung's barbecued pork rice scene, because rice and barbecued pork flew all over his face. Since the director did not yell cut, he had to continue acting. Lam Fung thanked the action director Kenji Tanigaki, whose action scenes were very memorable for him. Wu Tzu Tung liked the scene when the "Four Sons of the Walled City" sat on the high-rise of the walled city to watch the plane, feeling full of hope for the future. He hoped to convey the message of not giving up and persevering; Cheung Man Kit liked the mahjong scene because it is the last scene. After that, the five made their fighting poses from the film for the media to take pictures, and they also sat in the audience to take a group photo.

In addition, at the International Press Academy organized 29th Satellite Awards, TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN won the "Best Stunt Award". The film's action director Kenji Tanigaki personally went to the U.S. to accept the award. Kenji Tanigaki was also nominated for the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards Best Action Choreography.

At the same time it became the opening box office champion of mainland films in Hong Kong and Macao film history, breaking a number of Hong Kong and Macao records.

NE ZHA 2 was jointly distributed in Hong Kong by Mandarin Motion Pictures, Media Asia Group, Sil-Metropole Organization and Emperor Motion Pictures, and the owners of the four distribution companies were very happy that the film has achieved good results. The Chairman of Mandarin Motion Pictures Raymond Wong Pak Ming congratulated NE ZHA 2 on winning the box office of Hong Kong's animated film, and was proud to be one of the distributors, "This work not only showcases the profound heritage of traditional Chinese culture, but also reinterprets the classic story from a modern perspective. I look forward to more Hong Kong audiences entering the cinema to experience this excellent work first-hand, and feel its unique cultural charm and profound emotional connotation."

The Chairman of Media Asia Group Dr. Peter Lam Kin Ngok said, "This time we collaborate with other companies to introduce NE ZHA 2, which has an even stronger reputation than the first installment and continues to set new records. We hope to bring more surprises to Hong Kong audiences." The General Manager of Sil-Metropole Organization Ding Kai was happy to have achieved good results, "It not only injects a shot in the arm for the sluggish box office, encourages our peers, but also gives us hope that more and more excellent mainland films will be released in Hong Kong, showcasing Hong Kong's unique charm as a hub for cultural exchange between China and the rest of the world." The Chairman of Emperor Group Dr. Albert Yeung Sau Sing was proud to be one of the distributors of NE ZHA 2 in Hong Kong and Macau, and was very confident in the film. "The box office will rise steadily, and I believe that NE ZHA 2 can become the top 5 highest box office in the world, winning glory for the country, and I feel very proud to be a Chinese."

The Golden Horse Best Actress Chung Suet Ying and Neo Yau Hawk Sau starred, Adam Wong Sau Ping directed movie THE WAY WE TALK (HONG NGOR GUM TIN JUM MOR SUET) was released last Thursday (20th), with a cumulative box office of more than HK$ 2.5 million in Hong Kong and Macao. Chung Suet Ying said that there were many other good movies released during the same period, and the number of screenings of THE WAY WE TALK was less; so she called on everyone to seize the opportunity to watch it. "More people watching it can make the number of screening continue. The content of the movie is so interesting, I want more people to see it." THE WAY WE TALK was nominated for 7 Hong Kong Film Awards, competing with the over HK$ 100 million box office TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) and THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK). The Best Actress nominee Chung Suet Ying said that there was no pressure because the genres were different. The audience could also like several movies at once. Was she confident about winning the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress? She said that she was confident that she would be there to enjoy the show, and she hoped that the film would win the behind the scenes awards like the best sound effects to commend the hard work of a group of behind-the-scenes staff.

[2025.02.22] MY BEST BET PRODUCER CONSIDERS NEW FILM WITH THE ORIGINAL TEAM

The Lunar New Year film MY BEST BET (CHEUNG DOH BITG YANG) recently held an appreciation banquet, director Andy Lo (Law Yiu Fai), Louis Cheung Kai Chung (Ah Chung), Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa), Bowie Wu Fung (Brother Sau), Tommy Chu Pak Hong (Chu Hong), Kaki Sham, Ng Ka Yan (Kayan), Lam Yiu Sing, Bryant Mak Chi Lok and Vanora Hui Yuet Sheung attended. As everyone popped bottles of champagne to celebrate, Ah Chung, Ah Sa and Brother Sau also toasted from table to table and were full of festive and joyful atmosphere. Ah Sa even collected energy to fight for a sequel with producer Ng Kin Hung. The producer responded to everyone needs, and would consider a new film with the original cast. The audience applauded in response. Ah Sa hoped that everyone would keep on working, working everyday, and for the film industry toe end its winter soon.

Ah Sa and Ah Chung spent almost everyday this Lunar New Year at the theater. Ah Chung felt as if he was working for the theater. Ah Sa described the process of thanking the audience for more than a month, which made her feel like she had held many talk shows. She felt both happy and fulfilled. Ah Chung even admired Ah Sa's extraordinary courage for thanking the audience alone. Ah Sa claimed that she was not as eloquent as Ah Chung and Chu Hong, but since her friends chartered the theater she had to show up to thank them. She laughed and said, "On the day of thanking the audience alone, my manager and I both carried a giant cardboard with 'MY BEST BET' through the busy streets of Central to rush to the theater. It was just like a parade, truly the first time in my life. It was very funny. However I am the happiest about whether family, friends or fans they are very supportive, especially the fans. They not only watch one show, some of them also follow our audience appreciation schedule to buy tickets for the shows, some even charter the venue. These fans are from all over the world, they give me motivation and support that makes me feel as if I have had many fan gatherings at one time. They are very heartwarming. So even though I didn't have a holiday in the New Year, I felt like I needed to work harder to thank them. What is even happier is to thanking the audience with Ah Chung and Chu Hong, every show is full of joy. I can't stop laugh from their quick wit, eloquence, words and deeds, so this New Year I really live up to the name of laughing through the New Year."

In addition to interacting with netizens and audiences, Ah Chung also interacted with other Lunar New Year film opponents; including German Cheung Man Kit who mischievously left a challenge letter for him at the theater. He also replied very sincerely. Ah Chung said, "Although we are competitors and have our own Lunar New Year film releases, I think this kind of interaction is very good. We support each other. We are not enemies, but 'comrades-in-arms'. I hope that every movie would have good box office, which would be the most perfect. This interactive atmosphere is a good change, and I hope it will keep on going!" As for the experience of more than 50 audience appreciation shows, Ah Chung described his level of dedication. He was able to jump in the vehicle after the end of each show and fall right to sleep. They were definitely a physical challenge.

In addition, Chu Hong frankly said that he hoped that each of his works can be successful, just like THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK). This time MY BEST BET was also satisfactory for him. Referring to starting the wave with the audience in the process of thanking them, he said, "I started the wave to push the atmosphere of joy to an even higher level, but the biggest feeling is that I was happy to prove that there were still audiences in the theater to watch the movie. I hope that Hong Kong films will continue to work hard."

As for if the movie would really make a sequel or a new film with the original cast, Chu Hong hoped to continue to appear in the sequel as Ian Suen, the Chinese-Korean and talk about his life in prison. The object of his pursuit in the film, Kayan, would visit him in prison and continued all kinds of relationships. Playing the blind gambler, Kaki Sham laughed and said, "The director is very good to me. He told me to play blind, but didn't need me to close my eyes. So I hope that if there is a sequel, I can open my eyes again." Kayan was also looking forward to visiting Ian Suen in the men's prison to continue the relationship. She also enjoyed the joy of thanking the audience for her first Lunar New Year film. She could also accept lai see as she came to promote, and she was very happy to experience the joyful atmosphere of the New Year at the theater for the first time.

Louis Koo Tin Lok attended the wine brand event as a spokesperson yesterday. He said that he also has some wine in reserve but the quantity is not much. He will book it until the right year to get the stock. Has he ever wanted to have his own winery? He said that he has not thought about it, but he enjoyed going to the winery to taste the wine. Goo Jai has always been a good drinker, but he has been drinking a lot less recently. "It's not for health that I drink less. I have gone a month without a drink before, but in the end I couldn't do it; because sometimes when I talk about work with others, the atmosphere would be better."

Goo Jai will travel to Japan tomorrow to thank the audiences for TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING). Speaking of the popularity of the film in Japan and the ticket price is more than 20 times higher and more than HK$ 5,000 a piece, Goo Jai said that this is really unexpected, "Now the number of screening theaters in Japan has increased from 100 to more than 1,000, and there are big theaters. I really didn't expect it to be so popular. The famous video game designer Hideo Kojima also said that he really likes our movie, even barbecued pork rice has become popular."

Would Goo Jai take the opportunity to open a restaurant in Japan to sell Hong Kong-style barbecued pork rice? He laughed and said that he did not have such an idea, but he believed that there would be many local restaurants that would sell barbecued pork rice. On the just announced list of nominees for the Hong Kong Film Awards, TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN was nominated for 14 nominations. Goo Jai was shortlisted for "Best Supporting Actor". Was he confident about winning? Goo Jai said, "The nomination is already a recognition. Winning or not doesn't matter. I hope everyone can see the efforts of our team, but I am very happy to go to Japan to promote this time; because it has not been a long time since Hong Kong films have been so popular overseas." Would the filming of the prequel and sequel be accelerated? Goo Jai said that he also had to look at the progress of the script. This time he went to Japan to promote, he knew that the locals have held a lot of exhibitions on the retrospective and conservation of Hong Kong culture, and many people introduced Hong Kong's places and cuisine, which would certainly be helpful in promoting Hong Kong's tourism industry.

Speaking of Lee Shan Shan's on screen comeback, Goo Jai said that Shan Shan has opened an online channel for awhile, and of course he would support her return. "Her illness has haunted her for many years, and contact with more people will help her health; but she suffers from panic disorder, and her hands will sweat when she goes out on the crowded street. I can only ask her to go out to places with fewer people as much as possible, try to get in touch with people. She can return to work, as a friend I am very happy." Shan Shan said that she would start anew and work to make money. If someone asked her to make a film, she would also perform if it was suitable. Would Goo Jai consider inviting her to make a film? Goo Jai said, "I have to have a suitable role, I also need to understand her physical condition. Because she has been sick for a long time, and I know that she has had a flu and been in the hospital before; so she must take care of her body first!" Shan Shan's comeback has to face some not-so-good comments, what tips would Goo Jai have for her? Goo Jai said, "The mouths are on other people, so she is better off improving herself, be herself positively. Her biggest is her health problem, she needs to have positive energy to be able to face work."

Goo Jai was recently brought to the High Court by the former chairman of Sun Entertainment Culture (now known as Sunny Side Up Culture Holdings, 8082) Alex Dong to recover $8.3 million from him. In 2013 and 2014, Goo Jai allegedly to have cooperated with Alex Dong to invest in the distribution of fashion and food and beverage businesses. On January 31st, Alex Dong filed a lawsuit against One Cool Property Limited (Goo Jai's company) for a sum of about HK$37 million. The suit alleges that in 2014, Alex Dong contributed over HK$37 million to acquire a property valued at HK$ 58 million on Hung To Road in Kwun Tong for the Company. He also accepted an offer by the artist Louis Koo Tin Lok on behalf of the Company to hold part of the property ownership on behalf of Dong in the form of a trust. Dong now asks the court to declare that the relevant trust agreement is valid. The company was asked to account for the relevant accounts or return the HK$37 million that Tang had originally invested. In response to a reporter's question yesterday, Goo Jai revealed that he had been handed over to a lawyer for handling.

The Vincent Chow Wing directed, Julia Chu Ka Yi, Catherine Hun Ka Chun, Lam Bing Kwan produced, Simon Yam Tat Wah, Stephy Tang Lai Yan, Mimi Kung Chi Yan, Kevin Chu Kam Yin, Amy Lo Wai Man, Fung So Bo and others starred film LITTLE RED SWEET (HUNG DAU) two nights ago held the charity premiere of the Rotary Club of Channel Islands was held the night before. The actors and the main creators of the film attended the opening ceremony for the opening of "Cheung Hing Kee", a dessert shop run by Brother Wah in the film. The scene was lively. Brother Wah through the new film warned the audience to be kind to their families, laughing and saying that it would be even sweeter to have a bowl of red bean soup and watch the movie. He said that he was optimistic that Michael Hui Koon Man would win the Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor, but regretted that Dayo Wong Tze Wah was not nominated.

Regarding the great contrast between the character in the film and himself, Yam Tak Wah admitted frankly that his daughter after watching the movie gave him a hesitant look. Former lovers Kevin Chu Kam Yin and Amy Lo Wai Man were interviewed at the same time, and their performances were completely different; one was embarrassed and nervous, and the other was generous and natural.

Brother Wah said with a smile that he made a special trip to have a bowl of red bean soup before attending the charity premiere, and said that he would work hard to thank the audience. He praised the delicate feelings of the movie, and hoped that everyone would like this warm story that took place in Kowloon City under the same roof. Speaking of the previous box office success of TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING), coupled with the imposing movie NE ZHA 2 that would be released in the same period, would there be added box office pressure to this movie? Brother Wah humorously said, "I am not afraid, the audience can watch LITTLE RED SWEET before or after watching NE ZHA 2 and have a bowl of red bean soup, which would be even sweeter."

Brother Wah said that he has no pressure on the box office, because he has always said that movies about 18 districts has always done well at the box office; but he hoped to warn everyone with a character. "I played Cheung Hing in the film, whom no one should learn from. It is wrong, because he doesn't know how to take care of the family; he only lives in his own life circle, has not integrated into the big world. He has a stubborn and 'rigid' personality, and does not treat his daughter well. I hope this incorrect demonstration would make everyone think after watching the movie."

LITTLE RED SWEET became the closing film of the East Asian Film Festival in London last year. In the UK at the time, his daughter Ella Yam Ching Kai had a sneak peek and saw her father who was different from reality. Brother Wah said with a smile: "After my daughter watched this film, she looked at me with hesitant eyes. She probably was thinking why I would be like this in the film, it was a side she has never seen before." Next to him his on screen daughter Stephy praised Brother Wah was a good father, so her daughter probably feel very fresh. Speaking of her old flame Alex Fong Lik Sun getting married, she said that she has congratulated him in the friend group. Would she learn from him and give everyone a surprise? She joked, "My surprise would be at my concerts."

Brother Wah also congratulated Stephy on being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards "Best Supporting Actress", praising Stephy for having a great chance of winning the award. As for the "Best Actor", he praised all 5 candidates for being very good but personally he supported Michael Hui Koon Man. Because every actor in THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) had drama, and the whole movie's cast and crew were very good. Unfortunately Dayo Wong Tze Wah was not nominated.

In addition, when Chu Kam Yin and his old flame Amy spoke to the media together they were asked if it was embarrassing to cooperate in filming? Chu Kam Yin joked: "Yes, it's very awkward and uneasy. I want to leave immediately, but I am just joking." However his on-site performance was so nervous that he was all "stiff"; Amy, on the other hand, was natural and generous. She was very happy to participate in a warm movie, and felt very warm with the crew and actors like a family. If there is a new film that asks the two to play a couple, would they agree? Chu Kam Yin initially refused, and then pointed out that it was just a joke. With the opportunity to perform the role did not matter; Amy also said that she would accept it and cherish every job opportunity. She also revealed that she was working hard to practice singing and hoped to develop in many aspects. If she would have the chance to release a song she would like to ask Stephy for advice.

In addition, Brother Wah and Stephy spoke about their father and daughter relationship in LITTLE RED SWEET on the ViuTV program THE POPCORN SHOW that would air tonight. From a single family, Stephy admitted that her impression of her father was blurry. When she saw Papa's younger photos she always thought that he looked very much like Brother Wah. Since childhood she has thought that Papa probably was Brother Wah. Brother Wah said that in his teens, his marine police Papa passed away on the job. His impression of Papa remained deep.

[2025.02.22] BEST ACTOR NOMINEES RAYMOND LAM AND NEO YAU WORK TOGETHER BEFORE THE RACE

Raymond Lam Fng was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor for the first time this year, and would compete for the award with fellow first time nominee Neo Yau Hawk Sau, as well as Sean Lau Ching Wan, Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Michael Hui Koon Man and other good actors. Before the score was settled, Lam Fung and Yau Hawk Sau would first work together on a new film with Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress Jennifer Yu Heung Ying.

"The 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards" recently announced its nominations, Raymond Lam Fung and Neo Yau Hawk Sau respectively with TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING), THE WAY WE TALK (HONG NGOR GUM TIN JUM MOR SUET) received their first Best Actor nominations. Before the race, they would work together on the new film MIN SI DUT GUNG DUI (INTERVIEW STRIKE TEAM, tentative title), the lead actress would be last year's Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress winner Jennifer Yu Heung Ying. They hoped her good luck would rub off on them for a good omen!

The film tells the story of parents who come up with strange interviews in order to help their children get into prestigious schools, and ended up in a lot of jokes. Lam Fung played the role of an anxious father. Different from the previous role, it could be regarded as a new challenge. Reportedly the film has been secretly started recently, going to Tsuen Wan, Tai Kok Tsui and other places. Lam Fung has not joined the production yet, and the scene was focused on Jennifer. A few days ago she filmed a dramatic scene in front of a snack shop in Tsuen Wan, attracting many onlookers. Because the film has not released any news, so some online once thought that she was filming the drama UNCLE MUM. Jennifer looked tired when she was not in a scene, it turned out that she was unwell that day; but in order not to affect the filming progress, she insisted on going into battle.

Also a full score daddy in reality, Lam Fung strived for time to enjoy family fun before joining the production. His wife Zhang Xinyue shared a short video of their family of 3's Dali visit on social networks earlier. Lam Fung tried to cheer up Luna, carried her in a sedan chair and fed her. He specifically wore a tall straw hat to create a funny look, which made Luna laugh nonstop.

Nick Cheung Ka Fai yesterday in order to support his junior colleague Chung Suet Ying took time to attend the premiere of the movie THE WAY WE TALK (HONG NGOR SUM TIN JUM MOR SUET). Cheung Ka Fai said that during the film festival in Italy earlier, he happened to meet THE LYRICIST WANNABE (TIN CHI L)'s Chung Suet Ying and director Norris Wong Yi Lam and took the opportunity to invite them to attend the premiere of the new film PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) later. He did not expect that THE WAY We TALK would be released even earlier. He had no reason not to support Chung Suet Ying first, so he made the trip to show his support. He even said that Chung Suet Ying had a plan. She did not notify him about her film release so he would take the initiative to show his support. He knew that she started as a singer. "Now her development is a little better. She is an actor hindered by her singer identity, I am just the opposite. My singing is pretty good." Would they collaborate on music? He smiled and said, "If we have the opportunity we can talk again, we can write a new version of 'Lovesick in the Storm' (SEUNG SZE FUNG YU JUNG) duet." He praised Chung Suet Ying for having character, her acting skills were not "conformist" and very unusual, and he liked and appreciated her. Would they have opportunities to act together? He said that he has not worked on an early Republic film in a very long time. "Even if we work together we would just play a couple! I will leave that to fate. If we have the opportunity to work together of course it would be good. I want to tailor made something but I haven't yet, let's go everyone! " Chung Suet Ying said that she also wanted to play a couple with Cheung Ka Fai, an ancient costumes film would be the best.

Speaking of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards announcing its list of nominees a few days ago, did he have any thoughts about the Best Actor and Best Actress? Cheung Ka Fai said because he had many friends, he could not publicly support any nominated actor. "My thought is no matter who wins it's good, everyone deserves encouragement. (Is Chung Suet Ying your favorite to win?) I can't publicly say anything like this, I would be happy for all the winners." Would he pick his old buddy Sean Lau Ching Wan to win the Best Actor? He said, "I heard that he is a big favorite, anyone with the skills deserves it. If he truly performs well then he would win! We can't say he has won before and not give it to him."
