[2010.10.28] SHAW GETS ERIC TSANG TO RECONSIDER FILM

Miriam Yeung Chin Wa and Raymond Lam Fung two nights ago attended the film PERFECT WEDDING (PO PO CHIU GAI YUN) celebration. The film's production supervisor Wong Ka Hei revealed under the influence of alcohol that Eric Tsang Chi Wai who originally was working on I LOVE HONG KONG for Shaw will no longer make this film. He explained that because boss Mona Fong Yat Wa thought the story that only revolved with Hong Kong housing project was truly too limited. Chi Wai conducted an analysis afterward and decided against making it. Wong Ka Hei pointed out that Chi Wai felt if the film was made and became a hit, it was an insult to the boss. If it performed poorly, the entire production team had no value to exist. Thus Chi Wai said that the smartest way was not to make it. Wong Ka Hei said that he has also written a letter to Chi Wai to explain to him that if he gave up the production, everyone would suffer even greater losses. Since the cinemas have already been scheduled, if the film was not made then the investment would be lost. He also pointed out that the boss' words could be treated as encouragement for everyone. Chi Wai responded to him and said that he was very pleased to see the letter. He even joked that he would frame the letter, now Chi Wai has decided to continue to make this film. As for PERFECT WEDDING's decent performance, he was very pleased. He also pointed out that his only failure so far was the earlier THE JADE AND THE PEARL (FEI CHUI MING JU) as he miscalculated Lam Fung's film draw.
