The film LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO) has not been officially released yet but starting on the 9th advanced screenings took place and it already exceeded 500,000 at the box office.  Two nights ago director Wilson Chin Kwok Wai and actors Jeana Hui Pui Yu, Miki Yeung Oi Kun, Shum Chi Ming and Wong Chung Hiu went to the cinemas for viewer appreciation.  Chin Kwok Wai humbly said that he was still very nervous.  He valued word of mouth more than box office, but also revealed that he has already begun conceiving a script to the sequel and arranged for the film to be released in the Mainland.  If so, Jeana and DaDa's passionate scenes would require editing.

The thoroughly sexy Jeana appeared in a push up tube dress and pointed out that she just returned from working in Sydney, but learned about the box office success, Deanie Ip Tak Han's overseas Best Actress award, good friend Leanne and boyfriend Tom's impending parenthood and wedding.  She had good news galore.  She stressed that she would take the completely safety precaution and would not have an unwed pregnancy like Leanne, but she wished them to have a son at first try and continue the band Mr.'s career.  Would she dress even more provocatively to pump up the box office?  She said that when the film will be released tomorrow (15th) she already prepared a pleasant surprise for the audience.  She said, "In Sydney I bought HK$8,000 lace underwear, with which I plan to cheer up my boyfriend if he gets mad from seeing the more passionate scenes in the movie.  If I don't have any use for it then I will wear it for the audience at the premiere.

When asked if the film would be released in the Mainland, would she regret that her passionate scenes might be cut out?  Jeana admitted that she would and said that online she received many Mainland friends' messages that they wanted to watch her performance.  She suggested that Mainland friends could form a tour to enjoy the film in Hong Kong, but she also coyly whine to the director, "Which are you cutting my scene, I am very hurt!"  Shum Chi Ming was asked whether he was absent from an earlier promotion due to his scandal?  He denied that and explained that she had to return to work in Taiwan.

The film LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO) two nights ago held its premiere.  The actresses in the film vied for attention with all their might.  Aside from all the cleavage, the evening also had a lot of drama.  First "nemeses" Jeana and Phoebe posed for photos together, Jeana even put her arm around Phoebe's shoulder while Phoebe put hers around Jeana's waist; on the other hand DaDa Chen Jing's two former boyfriends were on hand and created the Chinese character "mad" with her.  However DaDa obviously was playing favorites.  She not only came with Gary but also chatted with him.  However she completely ignored Wong Chung Hiu.  Even when the event asked them to dance, she did not put her heart into it.  As for Miki Yeung Oi Kun she knew she was no match for others on top and showed her back instead.  Recently tangled in rumors, Shum Chi Ming also attended as usual.

Jeana honestly said that she dressed up for the evening and took full precautions against wardrobe malfunction, she even checked once in the bathroom before coming out.  When asked why she did not bring her boyfriend, she joked that she had to inspect it first.  If the love scenes were excessive she would prohibit her boyfriend from seeing it, unless he secretly bought a ticket.  However they agreed not to be mad afterward.  As for the photo opportunity with her nemesis Phoebe, Jeana said, "Promoting together doesn't have to mean fighting, so we can pose for pictures together.  (Then are you fighting off stage?)  I am mature, I wouldn't.  (What is your relationship?)  Colleagues.  (Did you chat after the picture?)  I didn't see her.  (You didn't see her?)  Haha, later I had to pose for the group photo, I didn't pay attention with so many people.  I feel pretty happy!"

DaDa denied that she and Gary were back together and explained that she needed his help due to her high heels.  Her attitude toward Wong Chung Hiu was not the same.  She said, "I am very gracious, since (the
break up) didn't hurt me.  We exchanged greetings.  (You didn't see him?)  We will do it later!"  She also admitted that although she and Gary stayed in touch, they never thought about getting back together.  A magazine claimed that a sixteen year old girl saw Shum Chi Ming pleasuring himself, he said that he heard about this from friends but had no comment.  He  believed that he would not have to say much, for those who did not believe him they would not anyway no matter how much he would say.  The girl would testify against him?  He seriously said, "The company told me, the lawyer is handling everything.  I don't know what action will be taken."
