[2011.06.03] SAMMI CHENG DECLINES DELIBERATELY COUPLE PAIRING WITH ANDY HUI

The Johnnie To Kei Fung directed film ROMANCING IN THIN AIR (GO HOI BUT JI LUEN II) yesterday wrapped. Aside from actors Louis Koo Tin Lok, Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Wilfred Lau Ho Lung and Huang Yi, boss Peter Lam Kin Ngok also made a personal appearance to cheer them on. They even opened champagne to celebrate. Sammi later will work with Andy Lau Tak Wa again on a new film. Why asked whether she would work with Andy Hui Chi On, she honestly said that she would not mind but would not deliberately appear as a couple.

Sammi and Koo Tin Lok yesterday worked on ROMANCING at the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade. Earlier Sammi was too excited at On Jai's concert and knocked off boss Lam Kin Ngok's glasses with a thunder stick. Yesterday Sammi saw Mr. Lam and joked, "Today your glasses are on very tight, you should be fine." Mr. Lam also joked that without any thunder stick on hand he should be fine.

Sammi said that in June she will have to work on one more scene for this film because she will have to wait for Goo Jai's facial hair to grow. She said that during this period she would not go on vacation and work would come first, though she had nothing planned yet. In July she will work on another To Kei Fung new film with Lau Tak Wa. Goo Jai asked whether she would really wed next year. Sammi said, "Let me say it one more time, don't make this relationship sound so fairy tale." She said that she and On Jai had very little time to see each other and needed more time together. They were not as simple as fans imagined, getting married after seeing each other one or two times. She said, "A relationship requires time and experience, which is impossible at this moment." How did she and On Jai maintain their relationship? Sammi said that she would try to make time and see each other. Ultimately they both changed and needed time to adjust. Would she mind working with On Jai on screen? Sammi did not mind but did not want to deliberately play a couple. A bit of space at work might be a little better, but she would not mind with a suitable role. Would the couple charge more salary? She honestly said that she never thought about needing this type of pairing for anything.

With Father's Day on the way, would On Jai celebrate with her father? Sammi said, "Wow! I am all sweaty! Not everything has to do with him. If he has the time I wouldn't mind, but I don't want even buying a roast pork bun has to do with him. I just want to be together truly and ordinarily. Without getting together we don't know the result." Sammi also said that she has always been very independent, she could make her own decisions.

Koo Tin Lok said that on Mother's Day or Father's Day he would definitely take time off to be with his parents. This time he would dine with his parents and buy them gifts, but his father usually would not accept the gift. Would his father like a daughter in law or grand child the most? He joked, "You can't buy a daughter in law or a grand child. (Someone bought triplets.) I don't have enough time to buy them this year. I like to be normal and my family is more traditional."

In addition, speaking of Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi's marital troubles, Goo Jai and Sammi hoped everyone would give them more space and not to give too much pressure to them. Sammi pointed out that whether with problem resolution or being together, time was required to handle it. Would she feel sorry for them? Sammi said that no one confirmed how their relationship was, but a relationship begins and ends for a reason. It would be hard to say who is right or wrong. Outsiders might not see the real story either. She could only wish them well. Sammi reportedly had 160 million in dowry, would she said a pre nuptial agreement? Goo Jai joked, "Give Sammi some space."
