[2011.04.04] CARINA LAU IS A CHARMING RETRO GOLDEN DOLL

The 30th Hong Kong Film Award earlier invited the Best Actor, Actress, Director and New Actor nominees to pose for the program photos. They included Best Actress nominees Carina Lau Ka Ling, Josie Ho Chiu Yi, Fiona Sit Hoi Kei, Tang Wei, Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, and Best Actor nominees Tony Leung Ka Fai, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Chow Yun Fat, Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung.

Nominated for her role Wu Zetian in DETECTIVE DEE AND THE MYSTERY OF THE PHANTOM FLAME (DIK YUN KIT ji TUNG TIN DAI GOK), Lau Ka Ling was dressed in a retro gold look with antique gold accessories. She made different poses with familiarity and had an unique classic elegance. The six time nominee Ka Ling said about the challenge from the other four nominees, "I just face it normally. Now I look forward very much to performances that I have never tried before. For example the Lam Ching Ha (Brigitte Lin) played Invincible Asia, the character could be man or woman. With the strong martial art ability she felt very amazing. In reality I have this type of sometimes very guy but sometimes very girl personality. I really want to try this type of character."

Another nominee Ho Chiu Yi during the shoot tied up her hair and dyed the sides gold to put her daring personality on display. Recently winning a Sitges International Film Festival Best Actress, her potential should not be overlooked.

As for the seven time BEAST STALKER (JING YUN) Best Actor Cheung Ka Fai, he was asked whether he was confident about defeating his competition and win the Best Actor again. he said, "This time I am not only happy and excited about the nomination, the rarest is competing with

several important actors. I am already satisfied with the 1/5 chance to win the award. Instead I am nervous for director (Dante) Lam Chiu Yin, I very much want him to win Best Director."

On the day of the shoot, Cheung Ka Fai, Chow Yun Fat, and Cheung Hok Yau ran into each other at the studio. They chatted and laughed as they talked about films and costumes. They even discussed the photography results. The scene was very pleasant. The youngest among the nominees, Tse Ting Fung also interpreted an extraordinary style in coordination with the theme.
