[2011.02.23] AARON KWOK PRAISES LYNN XIONG

The Chan Kwok Fai and Wing Shya (Ha Wing Hong) directed new film LOVE IN SPACE (CHUET KAU YIT LUEN) yesterday held a production start ceremony at Harbor City. Attendees included Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Eason Chan Yik Shun, Angelababy and Kwai Lun-Mei. Sing Sing and Rene Liu (Lau Yeuk Ying) have relationship scenes in the film. Although Milk Tea was not present yesterday, Sing Sing had nothing but praise for her. Later he also praised rumored girlfriend Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam) as sexy and sentimental.

At yesterday's production start ceremony, actors not only presented incense as usual but the cameras also wore red. Actors also received lettuce" and finally everyone put an extra long red scarf around their necks for a photo. Sing Sing said that his job in the film was very special, but he declined to talk about the character. He only said that this job required a lot of education, physicality and energy. It also was related to flying.

Sing Sing remained tight lipped about the character. Was he a pilot? He pointed out that he has never played such a character before, he has played commercial and air force pilots. The job was not simple. In the film Sing Sing and Lau Yeuk Ying had a romance and also intimate scenes, but they would not be passionate as everyone imagined. He said that he first ran into Milk Tea at Pang Shun's wedding and thought he was very sentimental. He looked forward to working with her. Since he admired Milk Tea so much, would they be linked in rumors during the shoot? He pointed out that he would be in character during the shoot, no one needed to worry about his technique.

Reporters asked whether he was afraid that Lynn would be mad about his admiration for Milk Tea. He said, "No, what I said was not as complicated as everyone though." Did he prefer sentimental or sexy woman more? He said, "I like both, ultimately I am a man." Was Lynn sentimental or sexy? Sing Sing quickly said, "Both, but Milk Team is both as well. She is sexy inside."

Later reporters asked whether he would play an astronaut. Sing Sing said, "I didn't say it, you guessed." Reporters said that he did not look like an astronaut and looked the most like Lynn's husband. Sing Sing said, "At this moment work comes first." Has he thought about marriage? He confidently said, "No, I am very determined. Work comes first."

Chan Yik Shun said that he looked forward to working with directors Ha Wing Hong and Chan Kwok Fai, but he called Chan Kwok Fai Chan Kwok Keung. He had no idea that he said the director's name wrong. Yet he stressed that he knew the director was Chan Kwok Fai. Did he want to return to TVB? He honestly said that he would gladly work with any party with sincerity for music. Speaking of Universal's contract issue, he said that he still was uncertain as he still had one record that has yet to be released under Universal. He left it to his manager Chan Ka Ying. He said that he did not have much news lately as all the news went over to Hilary Tsui Ho Ying. He said, "She is the new generation power. However I don't care, she has something both inside and out."

Eason will go to Australia for this film and have relationship scenes with Kwai Lun-Mei. In the film he will play a garbage man who inherited his father's business. Lately Australia had earthquakes, he believed that the shoot will not take place until a few months later so he was not worried. He also would like Alex Man Chi Leung to play his father in the film. He said, "Brother Man Chi is truly great, I never have a chance to meet him but I feel we look pretty similar. Both our eyes are popping and swollen. (Is your biggest resemblance spitting?) Then I have to wear a mask from now." Would he like his daughter to succeed him? He honestly said he did not care, her preference would be the most important. First she had to finish school and live a life that a normal child should have.

Kwai Lun-mei said that she was a Eason fan. Earlier she went to his concert. She was very nervous about the chance to work with him. Did she like guys like Eason? She said, "Yes. (But he talks a lot.) That's good, I have less to say." Was her current boyfriend Leon Dai Lap Yan

talkative as well? She looked embarrassed and said that she was better off talking about Eason. Speaking of her taking Fan Bingbing's role in Stanley Kwan Kam Peng's new film, she said that the negotiation has not been completed. She did not mind because every actor's personality was

different.
