Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) won two TVB Best Actor awards from starring in Rosy Business "巾幗梟雄" and No Regrets "義海豪情". Credit must be attributed to scriptwriter, Cheung Wah Biu (張華標), who fleshed out Wayne’s characters fully. It was understood that Cheung Wah Biu will return to TVB in October 2011 and will partner with Lee Tim Sing (李添勝) on new series, Rosy Business 3 "巾幗梟雄 3"! Upon learning of the “Iron Triangle” collaboration, Wayne was extremely happy. Perhaps he may even win a third Best Actor award!

In his May birthday celebration, Wayne made a wish that scriptwriter, Cheung Wah Biu would return to TVB. Producer Lee Tim Sing confirmed that Mr. Cheung will make a comeback after a 14-month departure, while resuming his role as Assistant Creative Director.

Rosy Business 3 To Film in April 2012

Tim Gor said that it would be difficult for Rosy Business 3 to have continuity from Rosy Business and No Regrets. “Sheren Tang (鄧萃雯) and Wayne Lai’s characters already died and we can no longer continue their characters. Perhaps there are some elements of continuity in the story, such as setting the time line in the 1960s or pre-modern period. The story will be independent from the earlier series.

“I have set the filming period with Wayne, which will occur in April 2012.” (What about Sheren?) “She is currently busy filming in mainland. I have to discuss the matter with her. Hopefully, she will have time!”

Currently working for a television studio in Taiwan, Cheung Wah Biu indicated that he did not adjust to living there. His wife was upset [and wanted him to return to Hong Kong]. “I did not finish my current work projects yet. It has not been settled yet. During the summer, my wife came to visit me in Taiwan. I have been in frequent contact with Tim Gor and Wayne Lai!”

Wayne was extremely happy about Mr. Cheung’s return. Wayne noted, “I heard that Cheung Wah Biu will return to TVB. My dream came true!” (Are you filming Rosy Business 3?) “Tim Gor mentioned this to me. By the time the new series is released, it would be two years since No Regrets. The audience should have a fresh feeling.” (Do you feel pressure?) “I am not worried. They have fought in many ‘wars’ before. I believe there will be new material for the audience to watch!” Unfortunately, Sheren Tang did not respond to the reporter’s inquiry at the time of the news publication.

Charmaine Sheh, Fala Chen, Moses Chan, Raymond Wong and Susanna Kwan were in Hangzhou promoting for TVB series Can't Buy Me Love. Usually when promoting in HK Fala dresses conservatively, but this time in Mainland, she appears in a low-cut dress and reveals her career line. The Mainland media reported Fala 'killing power causes strong injuries' to lead actress Charmaine, who just showed her legs. Fala completely stole her limelight. It was 'maid bigger than the master lady' (referring to Fala and Charmaine roles in the series). At the event, Charmaine maintained her smile all along when other artistes were speaking, except when it was Fala's turn, she lost interest and her face darkens. Instead, she often chatted with Susanna.

Fala was asked if its because Charmaine's contract expired that she's taking the advantage to sit in the Big Sister seat? Fala looked at Charmaine as she said: "I don't dare to, don't dare to!" Fala also expressed that this is her first time heading over to Mainland as a group for promotion and that her outfit was arranged by her company. Charmaine was asked if her Big Sister status is hard to keep now that she left TVB? She said she never left the company, just changed the contract and she also never thought of herself as a Big Sister, just getting into character and trying her best in acting out the role.

Soon to start concentrating her work in Mainland, Charmaine reveals she'll be taking part in the series version of If You are the One, playing the role XiaoXiao. She will also be going to Japan for outdoor shooting of the series. Charmaine expressed she wants to work with director Yimou Zhang the most because she feels he really understands what women think and does well with women oriented dramas. When asked if she's signing a 15 million Yuan two year contract? Charmaine said: "Confidential! The Mainland paycheck is indeed slightly higher." Moses, sitting besides her, smiled and said he envies. About the rumors that Charmaine has a wealthy Mainland boyfriend, she expressed if she wanted to marry, she would have long ago.

When speaking of ex-boyfriend Benny Chan got married recently, Charmaine does not envy: "Just signed with a Mainland company, so will concentrate on work first. In the next year, I won't consider relationships! Even if I do, there must be a time, place and person that can move me in order for me to accept the love confession."

As for Moses Chan, he is actively pursuing Aimee Chan. Asked if the 'good occasion' is (marriage) coming near? Moses ears turned red and paused for a moment before he said: "Good occasion? Today we are all here to promote for the series, that is the good occasion!"

[Apple Daily 08/03/2011] Lately Stephanie Cheng has been surrounded by gossips, not only is she rumored to have been frozen by her record company, but also was 'shut out' by TVB because she cursed at one of their reporters. It was said that the TVB Entertainment News Team were interviewing her earlier and when Stephanie was asked about her family matters, she suddenly cursed at the TVB reporter: "X your mother!" TVB was immediately angered by her behavior and decided to shut her out. TVB Director of Foreign Affairs (Tsang Sing Ming) admitted that there was such incident, and criticized she was disrespectful. Mr Tsang said: "The incident happened a few months ago, TVB reporter interviewed Stephanie and after the interview, it was as you said, she turned around and cursed at my colleague. At the time, the reporter, the photographer, the director and myself were clueless and did not understand why she was acting like that because the entire interview went smoothly. The questions just gossiped a little about her family, nothing offending to her. I don't understand why she was so impolite and reacted that way. Everyone at the scene saw what she did, and it shouldn't be a misunderstanding."

Mr. Tsang continues: "Later, the director reported to TVB because [he/she] felt Stephanie was being disrespectful, so her interview was not put on air. Her record company also felt the same, that she treated us impolitely, which greatly affects our future collaborations. The record company said it was purely her personal behavior, and is not related to the company. For the meantime, she will not be interviewed at all. As a public figure, she should not take out her unhappiness or anger on us, not necessary to curse at us."

Late last year, it was rumored Gillian Chung 'stole' her music producer boyfriend (Ben Chong) and since then she started eating madly to vent out her anger, which resulted in her being out of shape. Her record company Neway Star (Star Entertainment Ltd) ordered her to lose weight and put all her work on hiatus. Later, news broke out that Stephanie was frozen by Star Entertainment because she declined to attend ex-lover Ben Chong's celebration party for joining the company.

Fiona Sit: Stephanie wants to apologize

Yesterday Fiona Sit attended 903 ALL STAR Badminton Competition and responded to good friend Stephanie's disrespectful behavior. She said: "She is a person, by nature, freely expresses her feelings and emotions. When asked of her precious family, people who are close to her and her boyfriend, she doesn't want to answer. That day she was unhappy during the interview. Stephanie is already feeling regret and really wants to apologize."

Ah Gil implies love opponent Stephanie has low EQ

Yesterday Twins were in Guangzhou promoting for their Everyone Bounces Up Concert. Asked about Stephanie's cursing at TVB reporter incident, Gillian Chung (Ah Gil) said: "I have not been in HK lately, so not too sure." She expressed artists must have high EQ. Asked if she ever lost her patience before? Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) laughed: "When I can't tolerate anymore, I would pinch my thighs!" Ah Gil said: "I would pinch Ah Sa's thighs, find someone who has high EQ to pinch!" Ah Sa laughed: "My thighs are all scratched up!"

Also, Ah Sa will soon be participating in the Venice Film Festival representing her film The Sorcerer And The White Snake. She said: "I'm so nervous, I really want to bring Ah Gil and my boyfriend William Chan with me. But my boyfriend has work, and I can only go with my manager Mani Fok and mom. Later, I'll be rushing back to HK to rehearse for the company and then head over to Canada for work. In September, I'm 'Flying Ah Sa'!"

NEXT: Next Magazine | NATALIE: Natalie Tong

NEXT: Shirley Yeung once had a golden label, but now it's shattered, you are the only one left currently.

NATALIE: What does that mean?

NEXT: Two years ago when we interviewed Shirley, she was angered that there was contempt on her boyfriend. Time changes everything. What I mean is, it is truly difficult to maintain a relationship, especially someone who had an affair that still has countless soldiers waiting.

NATALIE: Whether you believe it or not, Amigo and I really are separated. I enjoy my current single life. Aiya, I really don't know when I can detach myself from his name.

Amigo Chui

NEXT: What type of relationship do you have with Amigo Chui?

NATALIE: According to my personality, generally speaking, there is no way I can be friends with an ex. He is the only exception because we have been together for too long. We experienced life's most difficult and unhappy times together. In my heart, he is not just simply a boyfriend, but is part of my family, so much that he's like my guardian. I am not an expert in communicating with people, some people think I'm autistic. He is the one who told me, that I cannot go on like that. It is him that taught me how to handle situations. It is him that made me understand the mistake I made. It is him that allowed me become an adult. The public does not understand our relationship, only I do.

NEXT: What is so great about Amigo?

NATALIE: I am too quiet, so I hope my boyfriend is an out-going person. Amigo's strength is good speaking skills, he is a sweet talker and can easily make people happy.

NEXT: No hatred?

NATALIE: When I found out he had an affair, I did hate him before. I used a long period of time to reconcile. My mother's passing was the most difficult for me. It is not that I didn't hate before, but when you experience a parent passing away, you will realize that the pain love brought is not all that significant anymore. What's the big deal? Or is it when two people separate, then a person won't have to face themselves again? Relationships is elapsed. Will we start again? That is another story.

NEXT: With Amigo around, did this scared away many people?

NATALIE: I truly believe in fate. If you really had the heart to come get to know me, whatever I have by my side, you will still stay and you won't just leave so easily. If you truly love me, then you will definitely stay.

NEXT: You say it so free and easy, how about Amigo?

NATALIE: Honestly, there was a time in the past that we were a couple, so I must get an understanding of his views. There are many things that does not have be said and we already know.

NEXT: Seeing your situation now, is it a difficult time or are you nonchalant?

NATALIE: In the past whatever troubles I encounter, I would hope there be someone to help me. Now that I'm grown, I realize that for outcomes, you must rely on yourself on everything, you must help yourself. His path, of course he should move forward. Add oil.

Mother

NEXT: Your mother's passing was a huge impact on you?

NATALIE: She grew up in a large family in Fuzhou, and lived a good life. She is pretty too. Once she married to Hong Kong, her environment turned really bad. She wanted her children to live a better life or perhaps that was her personal need. My father opened a factory in China, my mom works as an insurance agent. My parents were often in a dispute over economic issues, and life was greatly pressuring. Finally, my mom moved out, and maybe only comes back once a week to see me. My father comes back once a month from China to see me. My 5 year older brother and I lived a life relying on each other. While growing up, what we needed most was our parents by our side to be our role models, but we did not have that at all. When I graduated from high school, I already lived on my own. My mom and I never really got along well. Until she was sick, we got closer. The heavens have it's own arrangements, very strange, before I was always in a relationship, but only that time I was single. I had time to drive her to the hospital every day. Thinking back, it feels like that was the happiest time of my life. We are very strange, we clearly love the person, but forever we will not cherish. My mom used to be a person who holds a grudge more than she remembers the kind acts of people. She did not live a happy life, so I feel we should not complain too much in life. Forgiving a person is in fact far less difficult than imagined.

NEXT: Since it's less being together and more leaving, then why are you so deep in relationships?

NATALIE: Since youth to when I'm grown, my mom always thought I was a pretty girl. She's praises me day and night, and took me to audition for 430 Space Shuttle, so I can be a child star. She also encouraged me to go participate in Miss Hong Kong. I feel that's her dream, it is me who took the dream and put it on myself. So, when I was in elementary school, I wrote my aspiration was to be a model. Up until when I really started shooting ads, I was really excited. She was even happier than me. I lacked self-confidence because I wasn't like what she imagined me to be. I rebelled before, you wanted me to stand on stage, I insisted on being autistic. Eventually, I entered the industry mostly because I wanted to make my mom happy.

NEXT: Charlene Choi and Shawn Yue who were shooting Y2K with you are already soaring in their careers.

NATALIE: They developed well because they had a goal. I didn't. So watching them, I didn't even lose one bit. After Y2K, I went back to being a model, but I wasn't tall enough to do catwalks. Shooting commercials, there was a lack of a refreshing feel. Then I was arranged to audition for Heart of Fencing. From Y2K to Heart of Fencing, I had absolutely no improvement. At the time, Twins were already popular. I had no sense of crisis. While growing up, I never had anyone to teach me how to plan. During the Form 5 exam, I was sleeping and no one corrected me. Now, my career seems to be getting better. This is when I started not wanting to lose because it turns out that accomplishments in other areas basically do not make feel this practical.

NEXT: Already 30 and you just had a flash of realization now, you wasted a lot of time.

NATALIE: I remember clearly when I just entered TVB, hosting for K-100. I resisted a little at the time. A year later, I unexpectedly improved my pronunciations, ability to memorize scripts, and the sensitivity of facing cameras. In the TV station, everything relied on accumulation. There was a period of time that I really was lost and confused. All the time I was just playing a filial girl, even I started to doubt myself, if I could control other type of roles. It is Tim Gor (Lee Tim Shing) that woke me up. When we were shooting A Fistful of Stances, he told me I should just be happy when I'm happy, sad when I'm sad. It doesn't sound like any big principle, but that got me straight. It is the first time, I seriously got into the character. In fact, being a person is very simple, it is us that are making it complicated.

Didn't Cry it Out

When speaking of Amigo, Natalie was cheerful, but when speaking of rumored boyfriend Stephen Wong, she started laughing. NATALIE: "Haha, I don't even understand why everyone is saying Stephen is pursuing me. I don't feel it at all."


(Caption: Shawn Yue on the far left, was once Natalie's boyfriend: "He is not considered out-going, so you understand why we broke up.)

Does she believe it?

NATALIE: I'm not a dishonest bad guy, I put myself in other people's shoes. Towards other people's vows I have always been skeptical, especially those I personally witnessed to have too many lies. Clearly saying they are good brothers or good sisters, but in reality they are just third or fourth parties. How can you be so naive and believe that everyone ate a honest 'sweetened bean paste bun'?

Telling lies, to many people is a habit that cannot be controlled. So, between Natalie and Amigo, is there really just friendship? NATALIE explains with the statement: "If you haven't experienced a parent's death, then you won't understand."

When speaking of her mother, the atmosphere was completely different. Natalie was seen with tears in her eyes, looking as if she's about to cry, but trying hard to hold it in. She didn't let the sobs out, that is in fact more frightening than ever. Getting cheated by a lover, a difficult period, but she can still treat herself. How can that grief be deeper than losing a loved one?

NATALIE: So, for those who I lied to before, life is short, can you do something kind and forgive me?

Following The Other Truth "真相", TVB aired new series, Lives of Omission "潛行狙擊" on Monday, August 1st in Hong Kong. Although the ratings for its first week of broadcast were unavailable yet, the series appeared compelling from the trailer clips.

With mafia wars serving as the backdrop for Lives of Omission, explosive action scenes were expected. The hottest scenes may actually be the love scenes between gangster, Bosco Wong (黄宗澤), and his childhood friend, Kate Tsui (徐子珊). In one scene, Kate’s face appeared contorted in passion in their love scenes. Bosco and Kate started kissing on the living room sofa. Kate shifted her thighs and Bosco kissed her fiercely. The scene was extremely passionate! Perhaps this may have been the reason why Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) had to mark boyfriend, Bosco, carefully in case he yielded to Kate’s passion!

In another daring scene, Michael Tse’s (謝天華) superior in the police department, Fala Chen (陳法拉), was almost raped by a group of triad members. Fala’s jeans were removed by the gangsters. Fortunately, Michael arrived on the scene and saved her.

Second-time fathers, Roger Kwok (郭晉安), and Raymond Cho (曹永廉), successfully pursued daughters. With the severe natural disasters this year and the public unrest, looking at photos of these celebrity babies may bring warmth to the hearts of many people!

Raymond Wong Bottle Feeds Son

With the healthy ratings of The Other Truth "真相", Raymond Wong was heavily promoted by TVB and filmed non-stop. Since the birth of his son, Kayden, four months ago, Raymond has not seen daylight, busily filming My Cruel Lover "我的如意狼君" and The King Boxer "拳王". Finally completing the filming of these projects, Raymond took two weeks of vacation to spend time with his wife, Ka Ka, and bottle feed his son. It was a rare opportunity to spend time with his son!



Roger Kwok: Father of A Boy and Girl

Roger Kwok (郭晉安) and Cindy Au (歐倩怡) already have a three-and-a-half-year-old son, Ling San. On June 29th, the couple became proud parents of a baby girl, who was born 7 lbs 6 oz. Coincidentally, the week before on June 22nd, the finale of Wax and Wane "團圓" aired. At the same time, it was also the 5th Anniversary in Roger and Cindy’s marriage!



Raymond Cho Became Proud Father Again

Eileen Yeow’s Giant Baby Boy

Michael Tse (謝天華) experienced great popularity from his “Laughing Gor” character in TVB series, E.U. "學警狙擊" In the currently aired Lives of Omission "潛行狙擊", Laughing Gor was the only returning character in the sequel. The other characters and story from E.U. were omitted. Asked whether the change in casting impacted his performance, Michael said no and found the new partnerships refreshing.

Michael Tse and Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) shared numerous scenes together in Lives of Omission. Regarding their onscreen time, Michael said, “You can not use a ruler to measure the amount of screen time. Although it was my first time collaborating with Bosco, we surprisingly got along well together. Before getting into position for filming, we will discuss how to film the scenes and how to achieve a more ‘chok’ effect. Sharing our ideas, we immediately understand each other. It is very difficult to find such an onscreen partner!”

Discussing Male Topics Together

During filming breaks, Michael and Bosco will chat about various topics. Michael laughed, “There is not a large gap between our ages. When we are together, we will talk about cars and male topics.” (What did Michael think of younger actor, Bosco?) “Each actor needs to improve. I have to as well. It is a growth process for everyone.”

Did Not Feel Pressure

TVB will soon start shooting a new Laughing Gor movie. Asked whether Michael faced greater pressure each time, he said he did not feel anxious. “I am simple. I will focus only on doing my part well. This already enjoyable and makes me happy.”

Normally the series’ ratings fell upon the shoulders of the lead actor. However, Michael stated, “This is a view from the past. Now the audience is smarter and can differentiate.”

With OVERHEARD 2 (SIT TING FUNG WON 2) a storm is brewing on August 18. After the rash of rave reviews last time, the trio of good actors Lau Ching Wan, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) and Louis Koo Tin Lok reunited but the spark has grown instead of ceased. With many veteran actors like Wu Fung, Kenneth Tsang Kong, Kent Cheng Juk Si and others, the new film had even more suspense and tension!

In this all new story Ching Wan played a financial wizard, which he stated was the most fun and the most valuable since it was not an extension of the previous film but talked about the flaws of society today. Ching Wan said, "This time the stock market is the background. Now everyone is looking at the stock market everyday, at the same time many people around you give you opinions. However actually maybe they all have some background motives. If something is truly that accurate, everyone would already be rich!" Ching Wan said that he rarely invested, his wife did more. Would he rather rely on hard work to make money? Ching Wan joked that he only wanted to do fun things that could make money at the same time, like how he liked acting.

OVERHEARD 2 not only had them but also added the likes of Tsang Kong, Wu Fung and others to make the film more intense. However among the trio only Goo Jai has not worked with them. At first he joked that he did not have to worry about them stealing his scenes, but actually privately he and the elders had a lot to talk about. Sometimes he would deliberately go to work earlier or leave work later for the chance to chat with them. Ching Wan also thought that he has returned to his youth because they watched him grow up. They still were very energetic. Ching Wan admired their lifestyle very much. Ng Yin Cho agreed, "I always look forward to working with them. I remember I used to watch them play cool mobsters. I never guessed that years later, I would have a scene in which I would bully them. The scene really required their cooperation to be successful. I am very happy to be able to work with them because they would always talk about the past. I feel like I am absorbing film history."

Ng Yin Cho also has a drastic change for OVERHEARD 2. Because he played a soldier, he revealed he had to gain 25 pounds in three months. Everyday he had five to six meals, which almost drove him mad. Even his wife was afraid that he went nuts. Later he was somewhat afraid of seeing food and did not want to eat anything anymore. Was he worried that he could not slim down? Ng Yin Cho said, "I was. I really wanted to lose the weight. Now I can't wear several pairs of pants. However later I have to work on another film that I have to get bigger for." Ng Yin Cho received many compliments for this look. Tsang Kong who has worked with him before praised that he even has become more of a man. Ching Wan also praised him as very special because few actors would make such a big change for a film, not to mention this look suited him well. However Goo Jai was somewhat conflicted because they had many action scenes together. In a narrow alley fight, he accidentally rammed Goo Jai's fist into the wall, which sliced off flesh and bled profusely.

In addition, when asked whether he had any box office pressure, Goo Jai felt very confident because this story was a real conflict that separated cops and crooks. Would he like to win an award again with this film? Ching Wan said that he did not think much about that. If it was to happen it naturally would. He also believed that the three of them would have a chance to work together again, because he always thought certain people with another type of people would naturally create chemical reactions. Also he would like to have more authenticate Hong Kong films like OVERHEARD 2, which would increase the competition in the film market.

Maggie Cheung invited Michael Tse to be her guest for the final episode of the TVB show Harbingers of Doom that she hosts for. Maggie said frankly she's a tad reluctant to part away from the show. Earlier she went to Xi'an (in China) for a vacation, but not with her boyfriend. She said: "There were men and women on the trip, just my old classmates and their families. It's hard to find people like-minded to go together with me. I currently have great interest in Chinese culture. (Why didn't your boyfriend go?) You ask him yourself."

Michael expressed he's excited that the premiere to his new series Lives of Omission got over 30 points TV ratings. He also intends to host a celebration. It was said he's very Chok in the series, Michael said: "I am starting to slowly accept this word, very enjoyable, Chok is a type of self-confidence."

She said: "The staff said that bleeding means 'seeing red', which means I'm lucky. I thought about it and said wow that's true! I immediately felt better." She expressed it's just a small accident, no need to see the doctor.

LOVE IN SPACE (CHUEN KAU YIT LUEN) released a poster in Hong Kong. In Mainland China the film on Chinese Valentine's Day on Lunar July 7 released two Qixi version posters. Aside from the poster, director Wing Shya (Ha Wing Hong)'s personally shot "private couple photos" were released as well.

In a weightless love story in space, Aaron Kwok Fu Sing who was used to making action films and had a dance background of course had no problem. Meanwhile everyone was nervous for the frail Rene Liu (Lau Yuek Ying). However she just grind her teeth and welcomed the challenged. Sing Sing admired her deeply. "This girl is quite something!" Lau Yuek Ying also admired her co-star. "He completely doesn't have the Heavenly King alienation that I imagine, instead he is like a big kid who is also very attentive."

Eason Chan Yik Shun and Kwai Lui-Mei also created great chemistry. Chan Yik Shun had nothing but praise for the elegant and sweet smiling Siu Mei. "Sometimes only I am in a scene, Siu Mei would still stay on the set to observe my performance. Not every actor would do that." Siu Mei even discovered Eason's unique advantage. "Working with him is more relaxing because he learns how to let loose the emotions." Siu Mei even noticed that the side that people rarely talked about. "Eason is quite a gentleman and very attentive. When he sees my make up flaws, he would fix them for me." Angelababy and Jing Boran again played a couple, which was also the two directors' delicate arrangement for this on screen couple to become the compatibility index in the eyes of the audience.

The Jet Li (Lee Nin Kit), Charlene Choi Chuek Yin, Wen Zhang and Raymond Lam Fung starred film THE SORCERER AND THE WHITE SNAKE (BAK SEH CHUEN SHUET ji FAT HAI) earlier unveiled a series of thrilling work photos. Ah Sa as the Green Snake and Wen Zhang as Nengren both were hung 80 meters in the air with a dangerous valley below. Ah Sa herself had a fear of heights. However director and action director, "Wire King" Ching Siu Tung said that in order to bring back the thousand year legend world, "flying around" in great heights like Ah Sa and Wen Zhang was "necessary". Even Lee Nin Kit was not spared.

In this scene Nengren who already turned into a bat demon flew with Ah Sa's Green Snake in his arms. They needed to climb 80 meters in the air, around 20 floors up. Although Ching Siu Tung again guaranteed the "wire" safety and even personally demonstrated, Ah Sa was still very scared and worried. Luckily Wen Zhang kept trying to cheer her up and eased the tension. Yet hung on a thin wire 80 meters in mid air, even someone without a fear of heights needed certain courage. Ah Sa started rising and closed her eyes tightly as she kept said, "It's very scary! I don't dare to look, I don't dare to look." She tightly held onto Wen Zhang who was also in mid air. She usually easily made a pose but in mid air it became very hard for her. In addition four giant fans were blowing on the set, their costumes often covered their faces and led to many bad takes. They had to be ascend, descend, and ascend not less than five times. A short two to three minute shot took an entire afternoon. Ah Sa and Wen Zhang spent around a hour in the air. No wonder after the shoot Ah Sa's face was pale and she could not speak for half a day as if she was scared half to death. Another wet "wire work" was also rather thrilling. Ah Sa rose from the water at high speed, the water drops formed a beautiful track in the air.

Although now many high difficult action scenes could be completed in post production with computer generated special effects, but Ching Siu Tung thought that the legend world had to be the most realistic for the effects to be their most wonderful and most shocking. In order for the film to display the Eastern spirit and legendary aura even better, Ching Siu Tung even brought almost the entire cast to the sky. Even Lee Nin Kit was no example. He said, "Lee Nin Kit's usual kung fu film didn't require 'wire', but this time was fantasy action. The fighting wasn't just real kung fu but also magic. Fahai could leap two stories from the ground, how could it work without 'wires'?"

Ruco Chan and Leung Ka Kei attended a shopping mall event yesterday, but lately the rising in popularity Ruco was half an hour late to the event. When he accepted an interview, he blamed his lateness on filming: "I just rushed over from Sha Tin after shooting ATF Terrorism with Ron Ng. I'm not that late."

It was said Ruco refused to admit he dated Miss Asia Eunis Yiu in the past because he wanted to protect his career. Ruco said: "This is something that happened 5 years ago, luckily the photos aren't anything nasty. That time I was still youthful, fair and clear looking, but it's very normal, when the magazine writes about positive things, no one reads. I hope this doesn't affect other people, we are still friends even after goodbye." Is he worried about exposure of bed photos? He laughed: "I don't think so, but after falling asleep, I really have no idea. If there was anything, it would have been published already. We have mutual trust."
