The film GALLANTS (DA LUI TOI) two nights ago won Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Film Score. Producer Lam Ka Tung, directors Derek Kwok Chi Kin, Clement Cheng Si Kit led actors Teddy Robin Kwan, Susan Shaw Yam Yam, JJ Jia (Ga Hiu Sun), Wong Yau Nam and Hanjin Tan (Chen Woon Yan) attended the Tsim Sha Tsui celebration. Eric Tsang Chi Wai and Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung also came to congratulate them. In addition although Josie Ho Chiu Yi did not win Best Actress, her film DREAM HOME two nights ago celebrated as well. Her husband Conroy Chan Chi Chung attended.
Lam Ka Tung said that he was very happy and was very nervous before. He said that he had the most confidence about Teddy Robin's victory, but did not expect Sister Yam Yam to repeat. The four awards truly were unexpected. Has he called the film investor Andy Lau Tak Wa? He said that he already received five messages from Wa Jai. He not only congratulated the winners but also told everyone to keep working hard. Would Ka Tung produce another movie? He said, "Earlier I didn't want to because of how tough it was, but now with the treat I hope to continue the development." Would he raise his rate? He said that he and Wa Jai did not talk about money, they worked as long as they wanted to. Did he feel this time the elder actors were given the awards? Ka Tung said that could not be said. They were dragons depending on who discovered them. He said that everyone did their best, like Chen Kuan-Tai and Leung Siu Lung who did not use any double or ask for overtime. They were worthy of encouragement. Would Ka Tung and Wa Jai celebrate? He said later Wa Jai would perform concerts in the Mainland, he hoped Wa Jai would give him ten tickets for friends or give each person ten tickets. Then after the show they would dine with Wa Jai. Has Ka Tung heard about Wa Jai becoming a father? He said that he did not know, he left the personal matter for him to talk about himself. These four awards were already four fortunes.
Ho Chiu Yi two nights ago lost Best Actress. She said that she would not be too disappointed. The nomination was like an award for her. She said that she was already very happy with such a performance with her first production. Did she congratulate Carina Lau Ka Ling? She said that she has not have the chance. Did she feel that Ka Ling won due to seniority? She said no, it was unrelated. It was purely due to her good acting. Other than Sister Ka Ling she could not think of anyone else who could play Wu Zetian. She said, "In my heart Lau Ka Ling as Wu Zetian was the best, she appeared with an aura, domineering and very natural."
Chiu Yi said that her sisters Chiu King, Chiu Fung and Chiu Ha accompanied her on the red walk to support her and she was very touched. They stayed for the entire show, which she appreciated. She said, "My sisters rarely say we support you, but as soon as they heard I was nominated they immediately said that they had to come." Chiu Yi said that she would continue to invest in movies and hoped to try again next year. She said that the next film would not be bloody and would be crazy in another way. Would she be the lead actress? She said no necessarily as she would respect the story.
