[2010.03.04] PAT HA MAY COME BACK AROUND APRIL

After retiring from film for awhile, Pat Ha Man Jik recently made more public appearance. Yesterday she attended a skin care production promotion.

As for recent rumor of a film comeback for her, Ha Man Jik said that right now she was half and half and would let it be. She said that her third daughters were all grown, even her youngest was already 15 and very independent. At the event Ha Man Jik and Elaine Lok Yi Ling kept chatting. Did Ms. Lok ask her to come back? She expressed that they once were co-workers and got along very well. With the suitable script she would work on it. Earlier a director invited her to perform, if all went well she would begin work in April or May.

As for her impression of the new generation of artists, she said that Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin and William Chan Wai Ting were decent. She also said that Chow Yun Fat was her idol, if they would have a chance to work together she would not mind the salary. Ha Man Jik said she did not want to make movies for overnight success and did not want to give herself stress. However, she said that she has never won Best Actress and she would like to win awards. She felt the sense of satisfaction would be more important than the money. Ha Man Jik attended the Hong Kong Film Award last year. When she won Best Dressed she was very surprised. As for production schedule, she would like to work 12 hour daily at most as she must sleep.
