[2010.02.03] ERIC TSANG IS CERTAIN THAT JACKY CHEUNG WILL BE AT THE PREMIERE

Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Koni Lui Wai Yee and Kayi Cheung two nights ago promoted 72 TENANTS OF PROSPERITY (72 GA JO HAT). Chi Wai in 1993 received a "calf award" from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He was the only person from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan to receive the award, thus Chi Wai cherished this award even more as he generously loaned it for a charity exhibit.

How many awards has Chi Wai won? He said that he never counted them. So far he just randomly placed the awards, some were broken so he threw them out. Others disappeared after being loaned for exhibits. Chi Wai said, "The Golden Horse Award and the Hong Kong Film Award were missing, they might have been lost during home and office relocation. Replacement might cost money. Now I only keep awards with sentimental values. The 'calf award' is one of my most cherished awards."

Chi Wai revealed that he twisted his right hand while sleeping earlier. He honestly said, "Now promoting is even harder than making the movie. Although I have Wong Cho Nam, (Bosco) Wong Chung Chak and others to share my load, this film has the most promotions in my career. (Do you feel with so many film promotions you are taken advantage of?) I don't mind. For little ones like us, the most difficult is always the most memorable. Like SUPER TRIO, after each time I would say I wouldn't do it again. Then awhile later another season would start." Chi Wai is also the 72 TENANTS OF PROSPERITY producer. He joked that he threw himself out there and would take any responsibility. Speaking of Jacky Cheung Hok Yau's infrequent promotional appearance, Chi Wai revealed that his contract stated how many promotions he would attend. He would only ask Hok Yau for the larger promotions. Hok Yau's record company still had an uncertain relationship with TVB. Will he appear at the premiere? Chi Wai said, "He definitely will attend because his music and movie jobs are separate. I also believe that TVB will interview Hok Yau then."

In addition, Lui Wai Yi and Kayi Cheung dressed up for the occasion. Yet Lui Wai Yi felt that she was not sexy. Instead her costume in the film was. She even had her only sexy pillow, but it was only a transplant of her head on a Japanese adult video actress' body. She said, "Because of the tight schedule I couldn't make the shoot, the actress was dressed and had a great figure. However mine's great too." She also revealed that during the shoot Lam Suet's hand was shaking! After the shoot she wanted to get the pillow back but it vanished. With so many people on the set she had no way to get it. Kayi Cheung said that she was ordered to be sexy because her manager asked her to dress more elegantly.
