She said: "Thanks a lot TV King for the appreciation. Wayne Lai is a senior I respect. Even if I'm not paid, I will do it.

She expressed her manager makes all arrangements for her, but up until today, she still has not received any notice.

Gigi denied that the two are on bad terms, but expressed they are only on bad terms in the series. Gigi is also not worried about the arise of gossips when working with Liza: "We didn't have any gossips before, very peaceful. Gossips are made up by others." She stressed she has never been jealous of Liza nor has she competed with her on anything. Gigi has always took her salary and put in her greatest effort into the work, just as long as she has a salary, she will be happy. Also, this time it's a rare opportunity to work with Liza again.
Liza reveals she and Gigi will have a lot of scenes opposite of each other and will be mutually picking on each other. Liza expressed she didn't keep in touch with Gigi in private because Gigi started developing in Taiwan and then moved to Canada. When asked about Shirley Yeung, whom she had once worked with, is now a single mother and back in HK? Liza said: "I don't know, I came back to TVB to do my costume fitting, didn't read the papers nor have I kept in touch with her. So I wouldn't know, just ask about the new series!"

Yesterday Bosco Wong attended the Mazda CX-5 new car show with Sharon Chan. Bosco has great interest for cars, but when asked if he will buy a few cars for girlfriend Myolie Wu? He did Tai Chi with his hands and shook his head. He said he already has a lot of cars. Sharon praised Bosco on how great he is, and asked when he'll be giving a car to his 'little sister' (referring to herself), Bosco immediately said: "Family gets priority on getting new cars!" Is Myolie considered family? He expressed: "OK la, but not formally." When asked when he'll buy a home for Myolie? Bosco was frightened and immediately started wiping away his sweat: "Later! Buying a home is such a big decision, I'm sweating!"
Myolie asked him for a new car on that very day? Bosco denied, he said that day he just heard Myolie praised how beautiful the car is, so she went to get one herself. He also praised Myolie as a good girlfriend because she never been fully fiancially reliant on him. Bosco stressed he needs to take it a step at a time when giving gifts. Now is the next step to give his girlfriend a child? He embarrassingly avoided the question, and expressed he will first ask Myolie what she wants and said he personally has no plans for marriage yet. Does Myolie want him to create some surprise on their wedding day? Bosco laughed: "Perhaps she'll give me a book on cars, with a marriage certificate hidden inside!"
Sharon said with a smile that she also hopes her boyfriend can give her a car too. Bosco quickly gave her advice, telling her to ask her boyfriend and she'll get one. When speaking of Shirley Yeung just returning to HK with her newborn, as her good friend, Sharon expressed she already asked to visit her. Bosco also hopes that we all give some support to Shirley, this single mother that is raising her child alone.

Timmy said: "I really don't understand why there are so many bridemaids, but it's a good thing for my groomsmen too. Tonight, some guests were busy and couldn't make it, like Nicholas Tse. The theme tonight is leopards, but in reality it's actually just 'playing us'. (Have you two Dung Fong yet?) After the wedding reception, we were exhausted and just went to sleep, but this type of thing does not need to be scheduled. It can happen any time. However, tonight we probably can't because we both have work tomorrow."
Timmy expressed he does not fear his guests will get him drunk, he said: "I'm already mentally prepared, ready for it. Michael Tong said he prepared 40 hangover pills for me. (Not afraid it'll turn into an aphrodisiac?) Nope, if it really does happen, then 40 of us will take it together, should be pretty enjoyable."
Janet found a passionate husband, and got emotional during the phone interview with the media. She said with tears and happiness: "After the wedding, Timmy was so exhausted he passed out. I haven't left the hotel room for over 40 hours sleeping. I chatted with my cousins all night too. (Any time to Dung Fong?) I heard a Dragon baby will have to happen before April, tonight we probably can't do it. I'm very happy that so many friends from outside of HK came to witness my wedding. I've been in this industry for 6 years, if I didn't have any friends, then there would be something wrong, I really have a lot of good sisters that I can speak my heart to."

The grand historical tv series production, “Legend of the Yuan Dynasty Founder (建元風雲, LOTYDF)”, a 150 million (yuan) investment by Beijing Sunshine Sheng Tong Company, with its majority of filming work done will soon be wrapping up production. Yesterday, the drama producer revealed that in the series, Kublai Khan and Liu Bingzhong portrayed by Hun Jun and Steven Ma, respectively, though in status ruler and minister, in truth, having been through together life and death situations, their mutual feelings are no different from real brothers'. In one particular scene whereby the ruler and his minister encountering a dangerous situation inadvertently produces an amusing outcome.
The drama of the magnificent but turbulent life of the Yuan Dynasty founder, Kublai Khan, is directed by Hong Kong golden director, Tsui Siu Ming who brought together a cast including Hu Jun (胡軍), Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼), Cai Wenyan (蔡雯艳), Wu Yue (吴樾), Tang Guo Qiang (唐國強), Gao Fa (高發), Steven Ma (馬浚偉) , Ray Lui (呂良偉), Ba Shen (巴森) and Ha Si Gao Wa (哈斯高娃) . The highlights of the series are its unique subject matter, its enormous investment, and its production assembly of big shots and support staffs, as well as its stellar cast and its new way of marketing, hence it's hot even before its broadcast, and unanimously being looked upon with favor by both the satellite tv stations and film distributers, alike. The series’ chief investor, Beijing Sunshine Sheng Tong Company’s chairman, Sheng Ta Song (盛漯松), whose company has previously successfully invested in such grand tv series productions such as: 《新水浒》《大国医》《大瓷商》《香格里拉》, presented the series thus: LOTYDF will interweave an artistry process into the history foundation fabric, consequently restoring the life of Kublai Khan through bits and pieces of details. One of the major the highlights in the series is Kublai Khan’s ruler-minister relationship with his loyal minister, Liu Bingzhong, who was dubbed the “Architect of the Yuan Dynasty”.
According to history chronicles, Liu Bingzhong was a great statesman during the Yuan Dynasty’s infancy years, possessing a deep well of knowledge. In fact, Kublai Khan using “Yuan” as the national title for his country was due to Liu’s recommendation. Liu was also an renowned scholar, architect and a verse poet. Liu was a former monk, roaming the four seas. After a chance meeting with Kublai Khan, Liu returned to secular life and resolutely assisted Kublai Khan to fight for hegemony of the country. LOTYF uses this basic fact as a spring board to vividly portray the whole process of this pair of ruler and minister’s first encounter, acquaintance, and finally their bonding. The series promotional director, Lu Ke, reveals that in the series, Kublai Khan and Liu did not take to each other in their first encounter, but following a series of shared tribulations that strongly intertwined their destinies, whereby they underwent numerous life and death situations together, and numerous times saving each other's life, that though by status and title they are ruler and minister, their mutual feelings are as close as real brothers'. What is notable is that this episode of “ruler-minister adventures” is quite dramatic and very amusing. Also, through the superb collaborative performances of both Hu Jun and Steven Ma, their scenes produced quite a “laughter fruit” effect.
Apparently, Steven Ma’s scenes have already ended at the end of February. Before he left he especially stopped by to say goodbye to Hu Jun and all the producers. After almost half a year of working together, they have developed a strong friendship.
The recently released new film NIGHTFALL (DAI JUI BO) after seven days in release reached 8.99 million at the box office. Two nights ago the cast including Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Simon Yam Tat Wa, Janice Man Wing Shan and Candice Yu On On went to an Admiralty cinema for viewer appreciation. After that they celebrated at a restaurant. Kay Tse On Kay due to work was unable to attend. At the celebration they opened bottles of champagne and cut cakes. The workers even brought out an iPad for a video chat with Tse On Kay.
Ka Fai admitted that he was deeply pleased with the box office success. He said that in his career this was the performance that exceeded himself, thus he was very excited. He said, "The Monday and Tuesday box office were over 900,000. The weekend's was over 2 million. Unfortunately when the results came out I wasn't in Hong Kong. I couldn't share it with people around me as I was afraid that people thought I was arrogant. However I was very happy inside. Sometimes in the hotel room I would suddenly laugh!" As for the possibility of a sequel, Brother Wa even said that he could lose weight for the shoot. Ka Fai said, "It's very tough, if he is willing then go on. The weight loss for this film was very harmful to the body, the process wasn't easy either!" He said that he was not a fit person and never weight trained. After the shoot he relaxed and ate normally. The recovery normally would require seven month. If he had to do it again he truly had to carefully consider it. He joked, "I have to have a chat with liver and lungs!" Ka Fai admitted that next time he worked on a drama, he would like it to be a horror film that did not have to keep the Mainland market in mind. Ka Fai said, "I don't want to make a comedy. Initially I have talked with (Oxide) Pang Shun. He has this idea too, but very few bosses would make pure domestic film. So we have to have a long range plan!" As for whether he was willing to take a pay cut, he said that if all would go well he would not mind. He could try to take a little less.
Yam Tat Wa earlier worked with Korean star Gianna Jun Ji-Hyun on a film. Brother Wa said that Jun Ji-Hyun's favorite was Macau's almost cake. Today after going to Taiwan he will promote the film in Korea, he will give her almond cakes for her wedding present. As for the wedding, he said, "I can't go because of work. Lately I have been busy working with (Sandra) Ng Kwan Yu in Taiwan on the film FA YEUNG (RIPPLE). The weather was cold and with a fever I still had to work. I also had a thousand arrow scene so it was very tough!" Brother Wa spent his birthday in Hong Kong, his daughter gave her a birthday card and a little cake. In addition, he honestly said that he has not seen NIGHTFALL but has seen A SIMPLE LIFE (TOH JEH). He said, "Sister Deanie performed very well. This time was win win for both films. I wish for Hong Kong film to return to life. Since I was born in Hong Kong I hope it would make even more quality films!"
Vincent Zhao Wenzhou crossed the DUT SHU SUN FUN (SPECIAL IDENTITY) production team and even publicly blamed Donnie Yen Chi Tan as the behind the scene dark hand. Chi Tan later issued a statement to strike back. Yesterday the DUT production even held a Hong Kong Film Market press conference and issued a statement to the media to deny that Chi Tan was arrogant on the set, that Chi Tan once insisted on casting Zhao Wenzhou but because the production had no way to withstand Zhao Wenzhou's high hotel fee, along with his refusal to accept work order and fruitless communication, finally the production decided to go on without him.
Yesterday DUT's producer Zhang Wang and director Clarence Ford (Fok Yiu Leung). They immediately issued a statement in response to Zhao Wenzou's comments. The statement pointed out that Zhao Wenzhou's recent high profile defamation expression not only harmed Yen Chi Tan's personal reputation but also created enormous harm to the film, the production and the investors. Thus the production after discussion felt the need to call for a press conference to clarify. Zhang Wang said that the least acceptable of Zhao Wenzhou's "domineering" demand of a hotel chairman suite. He said, "I am a producer, money to me is the most important. The subsequent refusal to accept notices, fruitless communication are all reasons we gave up on Zhao Wenzhou. As for the room cost, I especially need to clarify. Many newspapers published it as a presidential suite, actually it was a chairman suit -- no discount for that. I also read what Zhao Wenzhou said. We wanted to give him a raise, he declined and would rather live a little better. This is incorrect. He first made the 'domineering' demand. I was helpless so I expressed hope to give him a raise, hoping that he would stay in the original executive suite."
The statement also pointed out that during the production's difference of opinion over room cost, because Chi Tan insisted on casting Zhao Wenzhou the production could only helplessly choose to agree to Zhao Wenzhou's demand. Because Chi Tan felt that Zhao Wenzhou was an excellent action actor, he always hoped that he could stay with the production. Fok Yiu Leung said that action director Chi Tan yesterday was busy with the final fight scene. As for Andy On Chi Kit taking over Zhao Wenzhou's character, Fok Yiu Leung said that On Chi Kit was not a replacement. They added a character that was different from Zhao Wenzhou's character. He said, "Because of his departure, we had to adjust the script so we added the new character."
As for some media's accusation that the war of words was the production speculation for the film. Zhang Wang helplessly said, "I had no intention at all to speculate, we only felt that if we didn't speak up, a lot of facts would be twisted. Thus we had to tell the truth." He hoped through yesterday's clarification the matter would come to an end. Because the cast change already caused the production several million in losses, now he only hoped for the filming to be completed properly.
Connie Chan Bo Chu earlier accepted a cable program interview. Sister Bo Chu talked about her film past. Sister Bo Chu has made over 100 films. Her favorites were THE PREGNANT MAIDEN (YUK NUI TIM DING), LADY BOND (NUI SAT SAU) and ETERNAL LOVE (WU BUT GUAI). She felt that THE PREGNANT MAIDEN's character was very similar to hers. Because she was mischievous , at the time she displayed her own personality.
Back then fans of Chan Bo Chu and Josephine Siao Fong Fong were constantly at odds. Sister Bo Chu pointed out that at the time Sister Fong Fong's fans gave her the nickname "fat pig butt", at the time she did not know she was fat. She even thought she was very pretty. She said, "Maybe because I was very simple. I didn't think about anything at all. I was a glutton, fans often bought chicken legs and roasted duck legs for me. I could sleep at any moment too, so I got fat easily." Sister Bo Chu revealed that Sister Fong Fong's nickname was "Roasted chicken Fong" because she was thin.
Sister Bo Chu pointed out that when she and Fong Fong worked on LOVE ETERNAL, when Sister Fong Fong had a solo performance Sister Bo Chu's fans all got up to go to the bathroom. Sister Bo Chu joked that all the chairs made noise. Although their fans were at each other's throats, their relationship was not harmed. Sister bo Chu pointed out that now she often goes to Fong Fong's home for meals. Because Fong Fong's hearing was poor, she did not like to go out and eat. They would each bring a dish to Fong Fong's home to share and chat. Speaking of her fan support over the years, Sister Bo Chu joked, "Because I am great!" Sister Bo Chu said that she treated her fans like family, and her fans also "loved her family" just the same. When Sister Bo Chu was not in Hong Kong, they would accompany Sister Bo Chu's mother to restaurants and play mahjong with her.
LOVE IN THE BUFF (CHUN GIU YU JI MING) two nights ago held its Hong Kong International Film Festival world premiere. Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Shawn Yue Man Lok, Mini Yang Mi and director Pang Ho Cheung were all present. Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Wong Jing attended in support. After the cast and the director arrived, they spoke to the guests. Ah Lok said that he deliberately did not watch the screening in order to enjoy the film with the audience at the premiere. When Yue Man Lok and the director left together he joked, "The lead actor performed well, who is he? Why would he perform so well?" Pang Ho Cheung also joked, "Earlier he only made LOVE IN A PUFF (JI MING YU CHUN GIU), but I think actually the director made him look good."
Pang Ho Cheung stayed at the cinema and after the film thanked the audience. Viewers also enthusiastically applauded. However he asked everyone not to give anything away to viewers who have not seen it, and that even the end credits had surprises. Kwok Fu Sing two nights ago watched with a group of friends and supported his buddy Yue Man Lok. "It's very happy, ver real, very life like, the actors performed well, it's funny too. I hope everyone will support this film. Pang Ho Cheung wrote Ji Ming's choice in the end very well. The entire film was very life like. Although it was about two people being together and apart, of course the funniest was the last scene!"

Last year, Shirley Yeung dumped long time boyfriend Gregory Lee for former HK diver Andy Ng and was accused of being a two timer. She was later spotted pregnant in Los Angeles and was rumored she married Andy. Since that incident, Shirley's reputation hit rock bottom. As Andy was no where to be seen while Shirley went into labor in the US, Shirley became a single-mother and must make a comeback to earn the 'milk money'. Yesterday, Shirley carried her newborn girl Krystal on a long several hour flight back to HK with her. However because Shirley didn't have the courage to meet the press with her daughter, she first left Krystal with her mother and then passed her to a friend before she stepped forward to meet the press.
Soon after, TVB executive Virgina Lok and four other staff members arrived at the airport to pick Shirley up. There were over 30 reporters swarming around at the scene. Covered in black and shades, Shirley clearly gained some weight. The airport staff helped her push a cart full of 5-6 luggage, but unfortunately during a turn around the corner, the luggage toppled over. It was an embarrassing site.
Later, Shirley personally confirmed she had her baby without being married and admitted that her daughter will take her last name, Yeung. However, when speaking of Andy Ng, Shirley's expression changed and she denied to answer. She said: "Hello everyone. Thank you all, I'm back today. Really thank the media, reporters, my family, TVB and Miss Lok for all the concern. I will take good care of my daughter and hope she will have a healthy growth."
Shirley frankly said during this period, her company TVB and friends have really helped her out, then she immediately cut the conversation off: "I won't talk about other things. (Where's your daughter?) She left already." Reporters pursued the questions and asked if Krystal's biological father is Andy Ng? Did she break up with him? Shirley did not answer, but Miss Lok spoke up to encourage her: "Just answer as much as you can." Shirley insisted: "I will not respond." It was said Andy was introduced by her mother. Shirley did not respond to that either and just smiled: "Thank you all. That's about all I need to say, I already said it on Weibo and at TVB. I will not respond to other matters. (Will you ever tell your daughter who her father is?) I will do my best to take good care of her. (What will happen if she asks you in the future?) Worry about that when she gets older." Asked if Krystal is already back in HK? Shirley admitted she already sent her baby girl off through a secret passage. She also expressed Krystal is too young now and can't handle all the camera flashes. When asked if her Krystal will take her last name? She said: "Krystal will go by my last name. (You broke up with the baby's father?) No comment. (Is he Andy Ng?) I'm not going to say. (Do you still keep in touch with Andy?) I'm not going to say. (Won't mention him again in the future?) I won't answer." Miss Lok, who was besides her, told Shirley to listen to her mother and don't be too stubborn. Shirley said she will listen to TVB. Now that she's back in HK, will she contact ex-boyfriend Gregory? She said: "Probably not."
Last night [Oriental Daily] contacted Shirley by phone, feeling unwell, Shirley said with a hoarse voice: "I got the flu. (Is Krystal not feeling well either?) Yeah, we didn't go see the doctor, just at home. (When will you make your comeback?) Take a little break first. Krystal is running a fever after she got back!"
Once Shirley got off her flight, she went to do a Scoop interview. She said her baby was 6.9lbs at birth and she and her mother are currently taking care of her. As a mother for the first time, Shirley expressed she is most nervous when she 'burps' her baby because if not done well, she will get sick. As for her future jobs, Shirley expressed TVB will arrange it. Although Shirley's image has been damaged, it was said her appearance money still remains high at HK$10,000 - HK$12,000.
Yesterday Linda Chung, Steven Ma, Evergreen Mak, Cilla Kung, Ha Yu and producer Miu Siu Ching appeared at the Tseung Kwan O school to promote for new series Daddy Good Deeds. As Shirley Yeung's good friend, Linda expressed she has not seen Shirley for several months, but they have kept in touch on Whatsapp. Yesterday Shirley came back to HK, has Linda seen her yet? Linda said: "Find an opportunity to. As a single mother, it is really mighty to be able to raise a child on your own. I will wish them good health and live happily!" Steven expressed he hasn't had many collaborations with Shirley, but as an outsider, one woman having to raise a child herself requires a lot of courage, she is very brave.
Earlier it was rumored Mona Fong personally asked Steven to stay with TVB. Today, Mona has already resigned from her position, so does this mean it will be difficult for Steven to serve for TVB again? Steven said: "I already said TVB has discussed with me. Mona Fong asking me to stay is a rumor, I never personally heard her say that she wants me to stay. She gave me a very good impression, she's a good person. Currently there are many different TV stations that have approached me. In Hong Kong, as long as its reasonable and fair, my first choice is 'maternal home' TVB." Steven knows Mona switched from her Vice-Chairman position to Managing Director. It should be a good thing, and won't be too difficult for her. The cast also bid farewell to producer Miu Siu Ching, who is leaving TVB at the end of this month.
Sharon Chan, known as the 'Sexy Legs Goddess', plays legend's most beautiful woman 'Ha Ying Chun' in TVB series Queens of Diamonds and Hearts. Sharon had always possessed a straightforward and tomboy personality, therefore its a challenge for her when she has to act gentle and soft on screen. It turns out she had to hypnotize herself to play the 'Ha Ying Chun' role, Sharon said: "Each time before I start working, I tell myself that I am the most beautiful woman in the world, often hypnotizing myself! That beauty is the type that makes men fall heads over heels. It is then when I can display confidence and get into character."
In the series, Sharon and Roger Kwok have a few intimate bathing scenes. They were filming in the winter, and although they used hot water, the filming was still quite difficult! She said: "For one scene, I had to be soaked in the water for 1-2 hours. Aside from almost fainting from the heat, the skin on my feet gets all wrinkled. I also have a lot of scenes where I have to show my legs, I hope [viewers] won't catch my wrinkled skin!"
Sharon won the 'Best Supporting Actress Award' for her role in Ghetto Justice, but this time she's in a comedy series. Both series have different challenges. She said: "Comparing the two series, I think the comedy series this time is much more challenging because comedies are harder to master. When I start working, I have to steal some tips from Roger." After becoming Best Supporting Actress, Sharon's tides rises as well: "After I got the award, many places asked me to do stage performances and I also got a pay raise too."
TVB contracted singer, GEM Tang appeared on ATV last night during the news hour and did a weather report. At the end of the program, she expressed she felt so nervous: "I arrived an hour early and read the script to myself. However because people complained I was too slow, in the end a professional came to help me."

Hui On Wa and Lee Yan Lam were beyond pleased with A SIMPLE LIFE's performance. Ann pointed out that A SIMPLE LIFE was her highest grossing movie in history. "This time I broke my personal record, for which I am already very satisfied." Speaking of the many removed scenes from A SIMPLE LIFE, she said that the extended version was needed for the cinemas but the scenes could be in the DVD depending on the company's decision. "As for the prequel, if someone will write the script then maybe. However I haven't seriously considered it." Lee Yan Kong brought his book with him. He said that he wrote the new book for the story of Sister Peach to be more complete. He hoped that the film will succeed again at the Hong Kong Film Awards next month.
Fung Tak Lun next month will produced a Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) starred new film and work with Derek Yee Tung Sing on a racing film. Will he ask old flame Karen Mok Man Wai to star? he said that the director will make the casting decisions. "I won't make actor decisions just because I am the producer. If I direct, I will approach her if the characters are right. Karen and I are still in contact, we just had dinner a few weeks ago. I didn't see her husband though."
Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Angelababy, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho), Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Karena Lam Ka yun, Josie Ho Chiu Yi and others two nights ago attended the now Popcorn channel hit party and announced now TV's collaboration with Huayi Brothers, Peter Chan Ho Sun's Shine Focus and Edko on an all new film channel.

The very pregnant Chin Wa walked the red carpet with co-star Yue Man Lok, as Lok Jai carefully gave her a hand. Before the event, Chin Wa wore flats. Yet on the carpet she still changed into high heels. Chin Wa later said, "Because flats are very gross with this dress, I have to wear platform shoes no matter what." Did Chin Wa keep the high heels from her husband Real Ting Chi Ko? She joked, "Don't mention it, I sent him away." Lok Jai said that Chin Wa truly was daring because Chin Wa ordered him to give her a hand. "In awhile I would do more than giving you a hand, I can carry you if you want."
Chin Wa due to pregnancy left promotion responsibilities to Lok Jai and other actors. Lok Jai said that he did not feel bothered. Earlier Chin Wa did not promote in the Mainland, he, Mini Yang Mi and director Pang Ho Cheung were responsible for the Mainland and Taiwan promotions. Chin Wa said, "I am very sorry that I couldn't go and have to rely on them." Chin Wa will attend the LOVE IN THE BUFF premiere tonight. Will her husband stop her? She said, "No, because it's work. I just have to ask Lok Jai to keep an eye on me and I will be fine." Lok Jai, "That's right, then you cah split some salary with me." Chin Wa said, "What I will give will only be enough for you to pay a down payment." Lok Jai said, "Let's not talk about that, it's very sensitive. As soon as we talk about it I am breaking out in rashes."
Kelly Chen Wai Lam yesterday gave birth to her over six pound second son "Little Juicy Bun". Chin Wa said, "That's right, I am very happy. She is amazing, several days ago she still took her son to school." Chin Wa believed that Kelly was resting. She through her company asked Kelly opinions on baby cribs and thanked Kelly for them. She said, "I knew the last few months of the pregnancy was very tough, now she finally gave birth." Lok Jai said that all the female stars went to have babies. Chin Wa made fun of Lok Jai and said, "You'd better hurry up too, claiming to be a Giant Dragon yourself." Lok Jai congratulated Kelly. After two sons he wished for a daughter for her. Kelly said that she will not have another? Lok Jai said that it was in the heat of the moment.
LOVE will premiere tonight. Earlier the premiere tickets supposedly rant out. Lok Jai said that he had a hard time getting just two tickets. Chin Wa said, "They said I had 80, actually I gave them all out very quickly. I only had a dozen or so left. My husband will book a show for friends, but one show may not be enough. If we book another show we may charge." Chin Wa said that it was pretty good to have her husband promoting. Who would promote for Lok Jai? Lok Jai joked that he himself was already one. Was he not a Giant Dragon? He said, "I am big in other areas, I am small in seniority. I too have to book shows, friends wanting to see it is better than no one wanting the ticket even if you give it away."Yang Mi said that she will book a show in Beijing for friends. In addition, Chan Ho Sun was selected to be this film festival's Filmmaker in Focus. His wife Sandra Ng Kwan Yu originally was working abroad but rushed back last night to support him.

The film TRIAD (JAT JIK) yesterday held a Hong Kong Film Market press conference. Actors William Chan Wai Ting, Michelle Wai (Si Nga), Irene Wan Bi Han, Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung and Edward Chui Woei Dong attended. Irene changed from her usual sexy gentle type to play a big sister in the mob. She said that the character required dominance and fierce eyes. Did she practice with her husband? She said mainly the feeling of the look. She will have to use foul language, which she did not mind. Most importantly the story will require it. She also said that she recently saw A SIMPLE LIFE (TOH JEH) and was deeply touched. She broke down during the screening and praised Andy Lau Tak Wa's performance as great and no more could be said about Deanie Ip Tak Han's. She felt that this was a very sincere film, hopefully she will have a chance to work with Wa Jai and Ann Hui On Wa.
Chan Wai Ting in the film will play a Wise Guy and a couple with Si Nga. Two days ago at the costume fitting a very large tattoo was drawn on half of his body. The tattoo will stay for two weeks. Yet before each shoot, it will require three hours of repair and color addition. He joked that the test of his patience will be the biggest challenge. This tattoo will not fade in the shower. Has his girlfriend Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin seen his tattoo? He said not yet, only people in the film company has seen it. Si Nga also will need a matching tattoo, for now she did not know where it will be. Will she mind it being on her chest? She joked that if the tattoo artist is handsome she will not mind.
Online writer Heung Sai Chuen Seung Chun Shu's work DONGGUAN FOREST will be made into a film. The writer wanted Chan Wai Ting for it. He said that he saw a reporter earlier that the film will approach 6 Wing, who asked for an astronomical amount. He had zero knowledge about this story and right now he is not interested in the production yet. Perhaps he will get more of an understanding before deciding. Because the story is about pleasure seeking in the Mainland and has nude scenes, he admitted that he was a little worried about its effect on his image.
Patrick Tam Yiu Man yesterday appeared at the Hong Kong Film market for a press conference. Ah Tam said that he has worked with the company on several television series and joked that the lives of his wife and children all depended on them. Ah Tam said that his son is now 5 and daughter is 1. He admitted that he spoils his daughter more.
Ah Tam also had a part in the film TRIAD (JAT JIK), which also had a press conference yesterday but he was absent. He explained that he did not return to Hong Kong until yesterday morning so he did not make the event. Later he had to rush back as well. His god mother Deanie Ip Tak Han earlier won another award. Ah Tam said that he already congratulated her when she won the Venice Best Actress, later he called to congratulate her on the film being a box office hit. Will he meet with his god mother for dinner to celebrate? He said, "I will, wait until she will a few more first." He also pointed out that Ip Tak Han was a great instructor and he was very happy for her. He felt that she had a perfect life. He said, "For an elder to win so many awards she is already very happy, I hope to have a chance to have to be like her. To an artist, it is a very perfect harvest."
TOGETHER, a new film with many young idols, yesterday began production in a restaurant in Deep Water Bay. Three leads Ko Chen-Tung, Bosco Wong Chung Chak and Angelababy dressed up for the occasion. Ko Chen-Tung praised Baby as the type that he liked and did not mind that she was older than him. Unfortunately Baby said that he was younger than her and she would only treat him like a little brother.
Angelababy yesterday wore a coat and said that she did not expect Hong Kong to be so cold in March. Baby said, "I haven't made a movie in Hong Kong for years, the last time was SHORT OF LOVE (NGAI JAI DOR CHING) several years ago. This time we will shoot in Hong Kong for a month!" Speaking of being between Ko Chen-Tung and Wong Chung Chak, Baby said that she will have scenes with both. In the film Ko Chen-Tung is her boyfriend and Bosco her boss. She only knew that she will not have too many intimate scenes. Did she notify her boyfriend? Baby generously said, I constantly work with handsome guys! Almost every movie's co-star is handsome, but Ko Chen-Tung is younger than me. I will only treat him like a little brother!" In addition, Baby was prepared to answer last week's magazine report that she and boyfriend Huang Xiaoming went for a pre wedding check up and insisted that she only went for a flu shot. Xiaoming also had the flu. She said, "I had the flu last year so I went for the shot, Xiaoming happened to be in Hong Kong. We went together because he had the flu too! He just happened to be in Hong Kong and didn't feel well so I took him for a shot. No one should make too much of this, the magazine is exaggerating too much!" As for a wedding date, Baby reiterated that now she is still focused on her work first.
Coming to Hong Kong for the first time after rising to fame, Ko Chen-Tung said that he will stay in Hong Kong for ten days for the production. He said, "This is day one at work, then after working in Taiwan I will rush back for the movie!" As for not winning the Asian Film award Best Newcomer, he replied, "I won't be disappointed, I will congratulate the winner Ni Ni. Her performance is great! Every award show's jury is different, the nomination alone is already a recognition!" He and Angelababy will have emotional scenes but no intimate scene in the film, not even kissing or hugging. Their love in the film will be pure. Was he afraid of rumors? He said, "I am not! Why do you always ask this question? (She already has a boyfriend Huang Xiaoming?) I don't know, but I like her this type too." Speaking of Baby being older than him, Ko Chen-Tung said, "I am only a little younger than her, it doesn't matter!" He again stressed that he did not have a girlfriend.

TV King Wayne Lai senses that TVB is lacking FaDans, so he exposed that he asked golden producer Lee Tim Shing to invite sexy goddess Chrissie Chau to take part as the lead actress in new pre-modern series Detective Columbo. He praised that she's smart and gives off a fresh feeling.
