[2011.06.21] CHOW YUN FAT SUPPORTS LIU YE

With almost 200 actors from three lands on both sides of the strait, BEGINNING OF THE GREAT REVIVAL yesterday held its Hong Kong premiere and invited Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong S.A.R. deputy director Li Gang and Secretary for the Home Affairs Henry Tang Ying Yen to host the gong ceremony. The cast included Chow Yun Fat, Feng Yuanzheng, Liu Ye, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Angelababy, Li Qin, Michelle Ye (Yip Shuen), Myolie Wu Hung Yi, and directors Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin.

Fat Gor and Fat Soh attended but Fat Gor was much thinner. Liu Ye said that with Fat Gor on hand at the premiere his pressure was not as great. Fat Gor joked, "No way! I am just a supporting character, he is the real lead." Liu Ye hoped to switch characters with Fat Gor, Fat Gor said that he could not play Mao Zedong because he did not look like Mao Zedong. Last night was the first time Fat Gor saw the film, he said that he had a lot of fun on the production because he was able to work with so many good actors. Liu Ye two nights ago went to a seafood feast, Fat Gor said that he did not know and did not know that he like which kind of seafood. Reporters said that Liu Ye liked razor clams, Fat Gor said that Beijing had razor clams too! In the film Fat Gor worked with Andy Lau Tak Wa. Fat Gor pointed out that Wa Jai was young and handsome, only that he was too thin. Did Fat Gor regret not having any scene with Liu Ye? Fat Gor said no because they have worked with each other before.

Lately artists were often caught with hidden camera shots. Fat Gor said, "It truly is a little excessive, can they take it but not publish it! (Were you afraid of being caught?) Yes, (Did you close your curtains?) If I would be caught it would be very horrifying because I am gross, but I would have clothes on. (Not in the bathroom?) My bathroom is very hidden and uses frosted glass. In addition I wouldn't go to the balcony." Speaking of Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi, Fat Gor said, "No problem anymore! (But Pak Chi brought her sons to Canada?) So severe, is she applying for a school for them! (Rumor is she is keeping the children as her wager?) Wow, no way, they are the stars of the future, why would she keep them hidden."

Hung Yi yesterday dressed provocatively, "You just don't see me like this too foten. (Do you dress like this normally?) No, I am usually very casual, tonight is out of respect for the event. (Did you go downstairs for Bosco Wong Chung Chak to take a look?) No, today I was in a hurry. (Then you don't need to ask him?) Nothing like that." In the film Hung Yi played one of Yuan Shikai's wives, but she only appeared for a second and had no line. She thought this was a good experience though. Hung Yi felt very special to be able to work with international superstar Fat Gor. Fat Gor also had a connection with TVB and once asked the director not to cut Hung Yi's scene. Hung Yi said, "Actually I just know my role was very small, it's fine (even if it was cut), but Fat Gor truly is very nice!"

Huang Xiaoming recently won a Chinese Media award, his girlfriend Angelababy naturally congratulated him and said that she would be happy for any friend who won an award. Speaking of Huang Xiaoming silently admitting that she was his girlfriend, she asked "Really?" Why was she unwilling to admit the relationship? She hoped everyone's focus would be on her work and not be asked about her love life every time. Reporters asked her to be generous once, she only said, "Let's talk about work! (Aren't you afraid of being accused of lying?) I am not lying, I am just not answering. (Then are you admitting with silence?) No comment."

Cheung Ka Fai slimmed down a lot as well. Two nights ago he went to have seafood with Liu Ye and others. He said that he was just welcoming guests. Because seafood was not greasy, he feasted. He also revealed that a Mainland film company asked him to play a historical figure, but because he did not know much about the character he turned it down. He hoped to learn more before playing and believed that he will keep having chances in the future.
