Wai Ying Hung won seven awards with the film AT THE END OF DAYBREAK (SUM MOR). TVB yesterday held a celebration for her. She even announced that she has officially signed a TVB manager contract, but she again stated that she did not sign the contract in exchange for an award. She also said that she was friends with Charmaine Sheh Si Man, Sheren Tang Shui Man and Fala Chen. She felt that any one of them deserved the award.

Speaking of her seven film awards, Siu Hung found the Vladivostok International Film Festival award to be the most memorable. Originally she was to compete at the Golden Rooster Hundred Flower Film Festival, but due to the film's lack of Mainland company investment it did not qualify for competition. Inevitably she was somewhat disappointed because she wanted to win the Golden Rooster Hundred Flower Film Festival award. However on the same night she received the good news from Russia. What kind of character would Siu Hung like to challenge next? She did not mind, as long as the script was good. At the end of the year she would make a film. Although its budget might be lacking, its script was good. She would rather take a pay cut to make it. She said, "Actually money could be made anytime before death, but scripts aren't always available. They also can win awards for me. (Are you focused more on honor?) I only like other people's compliments, an award is a recognition." As for her future goal, Siu Hung said that she has always been more passive. As long as the script was good she was willing to perform. Yet earlier she made several films including KUNG FU WING CHUN and A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SIN NUI YAU WON), which hopefully would enable her to compete for awards next year.

The fresh out of the oven 7 time Best Actress Wai Ying Hung and Lam Ka Tung yesterday attended a "film professional training project 2010" convocation ceremony to cheer on a group of young people who are interested in joining the film industry. Siu Hung two nights ago wtih AT THE END OF DAYBREAK (SUM MOR) won Best Actress at the Vladivostok International Film Festival. She revealed that originally she was very disappointed that the film could not compete for the Golden Rooster Hundred Flower Award during the day, but she received the good new the same night. She said that after receiving the text message she could not wait to inform her friends. Later she would be busy with the celebrations.

Siu Hung and Nick Cheung Ka Fai so far have won seven Best Actress and Best Actor award respectively. Speaking of her catching up, Siu Hung joked, "If he would win the Golden Rooster Award he would have more than me. I never thought about competing with him, and I don't want to break any record." Siu Hung has been in film for years. She honestly said that she would put all of effort into every shot. Did she have no more regard as she became the seven time Best Actress? She said, "After so many years, the part that I couldn't get past was me (referring to age) reaching the middle. From a student to this age, I realized that acting did not rely on looks but on the heart. After I got past that the sky was wide open." Vladivostok is located in Russian (near the border between Siberia and North Korea). Although its location was remote, it was renowned in the international film world. About winning Best Actress again, Siu Hung said, "Film has no border or language difference. I am very happy to be recognized for my acting not only in the Chinese region, but also in an international film festival."

Lam Ka Tung actively supported film production and often attended events without any compensation. He also recommended some film industry friends to be instructors. Why did he not teach himself? He said, "I have been busy with a script planning lately, not to mention I am not qualified. I myself am studying acting with Lai Shuen's husband." His production last time, GALLANTS (DAI LUI TOI) performed decently. Ka Tung is planning his next project. Not only did he receive additional investment from his boss but he also hoped to invite more stars to
perform. He joked that he still have many favors that he could call in.

Kara Hui (Wai Ying Hung) renewed her contract to be a product spokesperson. Yesterday she went on a bus parade with five young girls from the Mongkok police station to Tsim Sha Tsui East. Siu Hung due to her action actress background had wounds all over, not only did she have golf and tennis injuries but even her arm bone has changed shape. After taking the produce her pain has drastically subsided. She was the happiest about the product's beauty purposes, even when her contract ends she would receive a lifetime supply.

Siu Hung with AT THE END OF DAYBREAK (SUM MOR) rose in popularity because she won many Best Actress awards. Do she have more work? She said, "It's pretty much the same, I have more offers but I can't work too much. I have to keep my looks in mind and I don't want to work too hard, so I have always taken one after another. (Have you received a raise?) No, recently I took a Mainland prison film and got to work with my idol Siqin Gaowa, so I still charged my old rate." The film will start production at the end of the month. In Hong Kong she also took another film role. With series promotion she still had to work on her schedule, but she definitely would not work on another series this year as she did not want to work too hard and be tied down. She said, "Originally I planned to take time off, but not due to too many promotions it has been postponed. I have already asked for time off next January and visit Germany with my sister, because I have never been to Germany." As for the Golden Rooster Hundred Flower Award in October, Siu Hung's AT THE END OF DAYBREAK was not completely Hong Kong financed film so it could only participate and not compete. She honestly said that it was somewhat regrettable, but she still would attend and be the guest presenter.

[2010.08.30] LOUIS KOO IS INJURED TWICE IN TEN DAYS

4:36 PM | Labels: , , , , , , , , , , ,

The 10th China Changchun Film Festival closing ceremony and
award show took place two nights ago as the event presented 13 awards,
dual Best Actors and Best Actresses. THE BEAST STALKER (JING YUN)'s Nick
Cheung Ka Fai, BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS (SUP YUET WAI SING)'s Wang Xueqi
both won Best Actor; AT THE END OF DAYBREAK (SUM MOR)'s Wai Ying Hung and
MULAN's Vicki Zhao Wei both won Best Actress.

Liu Yifei two nights ago appeared with the new A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SIN YUN YAU WON) team at the award show. The team even held a press conference. She, director Wilson Yip Wai Shun, Yu Shaoqun, Wai Ying Hung and Louis Fan Siu Wong attended. "Yin Chet Hup" Louis Koo Tin Lok due to another injury was absent. That night Yip Wai Shun and cinematographer Arthur Wong Ngok Tai won Best Director and Best Cinematography, while the tree demon Siu Hung won Best Actress. They were well worth the 3 day production halt for the 300 people team.

According to Yip Wai Shun, the film has already completed all the shooting in the temple and most important scenes have been shot. The film will wrap in Shanghai in September and be locked in for a May Day release. Yu Shaoqun revealed that he will play a hero who saves a damsel in distress. Speaking of Koo Tin Lok's "stealing his love away", he joked, "Changchun truly is my lucky place. This time finally I don't have to fight with Koo Tin Lok. Of course I wish Big Brother Koo Tin Lok to get well soon and continue to fight with me to be this 'Little Three'." Reportedly the new version will turn the old version upside down and start all over, from an all new perspective it will look at and tell a romantic love story.

Koo Tin Lok on the eve of the award show injured his right leg during an action scene. Although after hospital examination his condition was not excessively severe, his right leg lost sensation once. To keep from impacting production progress, he still insisted on continuing the shoot. The film had many action scenes that were highly difficult, but Goo Jai insisted on personally performing many highly difficult stunt and against using a double. Thus he was injured twice in ten days.

In addition, Elanne Kong Yeuk Lam who attended her first Changchun Film Festival presented the Best Supporting Actress award. She praised Changchun's great air quality that felt very comfortable. She even turned into a fan and took pictures with elders. When Ka Fai and Siu Hung were announced to be the winners, she cheered excitedly for them. At the celebration, she did not forget to shake their hands to congratulate them and joked that she would like some of their luck to rub off on her. Next week she, Rainie Yang (Yeung Sing Lam) and Pang Shun will head to the Venice Film Festival for their 3D film CHILD'S EYE promotion.

The 10th China Changchun Film Festival award ceremony took place last night at the Changchun Five Ring Stadium. Nick Cheung Ka Fai with the film THE BEAST STALKER (JING YUN) won his seventh Best Actor, which also went to BODYUGUARDS AND ASSASSINS (SUP YUET WAI SING)'s Wang Xueqi. Wai Ying Hung with AT THE END OF DAYBREAK (SUM MOR) along with MULAN's Vicki Zhao Wei both won Best Actress. Best Chinese Picture went to FOUNDING OF A REPUBLIC, while Sandra Ng Kwan Yu with ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW (SHUI YUET SUN TAU) won Best Supporting Actress.

When Cheung Ka Fai accepted the award on stage, because of THE BEAST STALKER he received numerous Best Actor awards. This was his Best Actor in his motherland and made it even more meaningful. Ka Fai won Best Actors with THE BEAST STALKER at the Golden Horse award, Hong Kong Film Award, Asia Pacific Film Festival, Film Critic Society, Puchon
International Fantastic Film Festival, Chinese Film Award and last night's Changchun Film Festival.

The film AT THE END OF DAYBREAK has won Wai Ying Hung three Best Actress awards (Film Critic Society, Hong Kong Film Award, Changchun Film Festival) and two Best Supporting Actress awards. Yesterday Wai Ying Hung attended the award show in Changchun. The award was also her first Best Actress award in the Mainland.

Zhao Wei opened the award show as a guest performance and flew to the stage. She even won Best Actress with MULAN. Last night Zhao Wei thanked his "lover" for giving her a lot of love and dispelling rumors of marital issues.

Ng Kwan Yu was very happy that ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW received Mainland jury and audience recognition. This was also her first Mainland film award, which she thought was quite meaningful. Unfortunately she was unable to pick up the award in person. Later she hoped to be able to celebrate one more with the director, the producer, Brother Wa and their two on screen sons. Kwan Yu also denied that she personally confirmed her pregnancy in writing, insisting that it was her MR. AND MRS. INCREDIBLE character's experience.
