FIRST TIME held a sweet girl love letter reading yesterday on Valentine's Day in Beijing.  Angelababy even daringly declared her "love" to male lead Mark Chao (Chiu Yau Ting) and made special chocolate love letter to him.

Angelababy talked about her first love, who was attracted to her due to her two ponytails.  "I asked my first boyfriend why he would notice me.  He said that in the courtyard he saw a girl with two ponytails and that's how he noticed me."  Everyone was very interested in what Angelababy's first boyfriend looked like, she joked that actually he did not look too much like Chiu Yau Ting.

Angelababy created chocolate love letters yesterday for Valentine's Day, but Chiu Yau Ting due to work did not attend.  Baby complained.  "Although he ditched us, I still lovingly prepared a gift for him."  When asked whether she received a lot of love letters, baby humbly said, "A few a few, actually our era text messages are more popularity, so more text than love letters."  Speaking of love letters, baby recalled that she mistook a love letter as a test answer.  "Once when the test was about to end, a guy threw a piece of tissue at me when I was handing in the test.  I thought it was the answers for me to cheat with, but actually it was filled with my name."

Andy Lau Tak Wa is working on a movie in Beijing.  Two days ago after work, Wa Jai was very happy to learn that A SIMPLE LIFE (TOH JEH) was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor.  He said, "Having the voters' liking, having so much already, I really don't know what more I can say aside from knowing that I should say several more thank you, thank you, thank you......I don't dare to have expectation, but I would look forward to the film professional event of Hong Kong Film Award.  Hail to Hong Kong Film!  Hail!  Hail!  Long Live Hong Kong Film!"

Roger who in real life spent his life with Sister Tao was a film producer who industry insiders were familiar with.  A SIMPLE LIFE due to Roger's profession and story requirements arranged for a scene in which Roger brought his beloved Sister tao to attend his film premiere.  On the day of the shoot, Andrew Lau Wai Keung, Stanley Kwan Kam Peng, Joe Cheung Tung Cho, Lam Ka Tung, Angelababy, Mainland director Ning Hao and others participated for free and played themselves.  Even the retired Raymond Chow Man Wai came to participate, which touched Ann Hui On Wa and Wa Jai very much.  This time was also the only time Sister Tao attended a premiere with her young master Roger, which opened her eyes.  Playing Sister Tao Sister Deanie that day went to an old fashioned beauty salon for an old fashioned hairstyle and manicure.  Wa Jai praised, "You are very pretty!"  Sister Deanie could not be more pleased.

That day Ip Tak Han was also very happy to reunite with her ENJOY YOURSELF TONIGHT friend Helena Law Lan.  In the film Sister Law Lan played Sister Tao's idol.  On the set they often talked about the joy of their previous collaborations.  Wa Jai gave a special thanks to Chow Man Wai.  He said, "All along Mr. Chow has taken great care of me.  When a company co-worker asked whether he was interested in guest starring, he not only agreed right away but also brought his wife and daughter along.  He was also the earliest on the set."  Wa Jai pointed out that Mr. Chow usually went to bed very early, but he would rather sleep a few hours later so he would be able to work at night with everyone.

During the official shoot, Lau Wai Keung even added lines himself.  He introduced his female companion Baby as his girlfriend to Wa Jai.  Baby pointed out that this performance was like a cheerful party, being able to have a chance to work with a group of elders and directors was very rare.  She never thought about her role or her lines, even if she just passed by she did not mind.  The most important was the chance to support Hong Kong film like everyone else.

Angelababy and Mark Chao (Chiu Yau Ting)'s film FIRST TIME wrapped before the Lunar New Year.  They not only had a kiss scene in the film but also her first bed scene.  However Baby stressed that the kiss scene and the bed scene were all innocent.

Baby said, "Earlier I heard (Stephen) Fung Tak Lun said that once he was in a kiss scene with an actress and she actually stuck her tongue in.  Thus I was very curious whether a kiss needed to be tongue on tongue?  Yet this year with Chiu Yau Ting only our lips touched, it wasn't so passionate."  Could Baby accept tongue on tongue?  She said that would depend on the co-star and the script.  As for who she would be willing to perform with, she said that she never thought about it.  However, since she has not performed many kiss scenes, she did not know about proper oral hygiene before the shoot.  When she worked with Chiu Yau Ting she saw him brushing his teeth, then she realized that she overlooked it and felt that Chiu Yau Ting respected his co-star very much.  At first she thought Chiu Yau Ting was very serious, later after awhile together he actually was very easy going.  Once his father visited the set and she thought Father Chao was very handsome.

Did Baby inform her rumored boyfriend Huang Xiaoming in advance about the kiss scene?  She said that since both were in this business, when he had an intimate scene he would not notify her either.  They knew to keep work and life separate and understood each other.  In the Lunar New Year, her manager will try to shake off her pseudo model image.  She joked that she was no longer "young" anyway.  She will mainly focus on making movies in the upcoming year.  Last year she worked all year and only had ten days off, but at the same time it was a harvest year.  She even considered home ownership and purchased her current residence.  Of course she would like to buy a house in the end.

Baby also considered getting her driver's license for the convenience of her film productions, but she failed the written test earlier and had to try again.  Her manager suggested for her to try it in the U.S.

Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam) two nights ago attended a fashion store opening ceremony with Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Huang Xiaoming, Edmond Leung Hong Man and others.

Huang Xiaoming stated that he was busy with Peter Chan Ho Sun's new film THE GUILLOTINES (HUET DIK JI).  Speaking of he and rumored girlfriend Angelababy appearing at a Mainland airport, Huang Xiaoming changed the subject when asked whether Baby was visiting him on the set.  "Do you have another question?  This year I already made seven movies.  I work very hard and hope to focus on my movies."  When asked whether he was so busy that he had no time to date, Huang Xiaoming said that he did not have time to see even his parents.  "After THE GUILLOTINES I have to make another new film, a love story in the 60s.  The cast will have good actors from the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.  I look forward to it very much."

The Yeung Chin Wa, Eva Huang Shengyi and Donnie Yen Chi Tan starred new film PIK LIK SUN TAM (THUNDER COP) was rumored to be postponed due to Huang Shengyi's pregnancy.  Chin Wa admitted that the production date has been delayed to early next year, but she did not know whether it was due to Huang Shengyi.  She said, "I very much look forward to working with Yen Chi Tan, so I am a little sorry.  However next month I have my concert, now by change I can have more time to rest and recover."  As for whether the new film production schedule change would affect her parenthood plan, she joked that it would depend on whether she was destined to continue the production.

The Jingle Ma Chor Sing directed, Angelababy Yeung Wing and Eddie Peng Yu-yen starred romance LOVE YOU YOU (HA YUT LOK YAU YAU).  Recently lead actor Peng Yu-yen came to Hong Kong to be interviewed with Baby and director Ma Chor Sing.  Ma Chor Sing said that this film has been in preparation for over a year.  He admitted that at first the biggest problem that he ran into was finding a suitable beach.  Many would compare this film's location with the Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) starred SUMMER HOLIDAY (HA YUT MOR MOR CHA).  Ma Chor SIng said, "At first I couldn't start production because I couldn't find a suitable beach, but later very fortunately on the eve of the production start I discovered this location.  It truly is heaven's will."  Baby also said that for the rain scene, the director originally planned to use a rain machine to create the rain effect but during the shoot real rain came.  They were very lucky.

Working with Peng Yu-Yen for the first time, Baby praised that he was a very hard working and humorous actor who constantly cheered up the team.  Peng Yu-yen also praised Baby's cheerful personality.  They had fun working together.  As for his performance, Peng Yu-yen honestly said that at first he was not used to it because the director's rhythm was very fast.  Ma Chor Sing was asked about working with Baby.  He praised Baby was a rare Hong Kong female star with potential in the next ten years.  Her emotional scenes were decent.  Peng Yu-yen was a very hard working actor and would also be very successful.  Did Baby and Peng Yu-yen have any intimate scene?  She said no.  This film was very innocent and they only had a hand holding scene.  Did she regret that?  She said, "It's OK."  Ma Chor Sing joked that he would wait until a category III film for an intimate scene.  Baby joked, "The director is a very innocent man."  Would Peng Yu-yen feel any regret about the lack of intimate scene?  He joked that like the director he too was very innocent.  He said that his relationship with Baby would not need intimate scene for everyone to sense
that feeling.

The Angelababy (Yeung Wing), Eddie Peng Yu-Yen starred, Jingle Ma Chor Sing directed film LOVE YOU YOU (HA YUT LOK YAU YAU) two nights ago held its premiere.  Angelababy and Peng Yu-yen were linked in rumors due to this film.  They responded two nights ago.

Baby said that this time she will stay in Hong Kong for a few days to promote LOVE, then she will return to Beijing for a costume action film until the end of the year.  She said that in the film she will have fight scenes, which will be tough but fun.  Was she worried about getting hurt?  She admitted that she has jammed her finger and could not extend it for two hours, but that was very minor.  Would she ask her rumored boyfriend Huang Xiaoming for acting advice?  Baby avoided the subject and said, "I am OK myself because we have action directors."  Earlier rumors claimed that Baby and Xiaoming have broken up and Peng Yu-yen was suspected to be the third party.  Yet recently Baby supposedly visited Xiaoming on the set in the Mainland.  They even appeared at the airport around the same time.  Baby said that right now she would focus on work and wanted her personal life to be more low key.  Was she and Xiaoming fine?  She said, "The newspaper wrote that, I had no idea about what happened either."

Baby said that Peng Yu-yen absolutely was not the third party, that in the film they were very innocent and only had hand holding scenes.  She said that such reports were quite troublesome.  Finding a friend in this business was already very hard.  Luckily she and Peng Yu-yen felt like brothers.  She said that she did not understand why such rumors would exist and denied that Peng Yu-yen pursued her.  As for whether she would explain her rumor with Peng to Xiaoming, Baby said that she did not have much that she would need to such since the news was so absurd that it should be forgotten in a day or two.  Was she very confident in her relationship with Xiaoming?  She said that the film was very good and hoped that everyone would watch it.

In addition, Peng Yu-yen said that he did not understand why he and Baby would be linked in rumors.  Speaking of Baby and her boyfriend Xiaoming's recent rumor, would he feel that he was out of trouble?  He said that he would wish his friend's relationship well and would not say anything else.  Was Baby his type?  Peng Yu-yen said that Baby was somewhat similar like her character, a decent girl.

The Jingle Ma Chor Sing directed, AngelaBaby and Eddie Peng Yu-yen starred romantic comedy LOVE YOU YOU (HA YUT LOK YAU YAU) will be released on October 13.  The film shot on location in Malaysia for a month and Baby and Peng Yu-yen had many scenes together.  In the story they had to prepare an inn for a new couple to be, thus they had to camp out on the beach.  They often had late night chats on the beach.  Peng Yu-yen worried about Baby's sleepwalking and decided to tie a red rope on her, this way no matter where Baby went he would be able to sense it.

The story sounded romantic but only Baby and Peng Yu-yen knew the pain.  The director wanted to make the effect more outstanding, they were tied together by a thick rope.  The rope bruised and hurt Baby's arm. Peng Yu-yen was also afraid that each large gesture would add to Baby's pain, so he was very careful during the shoot and tried to move as little as possible.

Because they could only shoot these romantic scenes at night, they worked on them for three nights straight.  Baby had a scene in which she was abandoned on an island, reminded her heart breaking past and cried.  Luckily the director treated her very well.  Every time after she finished a heart breaking scene, he would tell her jokes to cheer her up.

Angelababy Yeung Wing and Huang Xiaoming have been in a low key relationship for two years.  As their romance seemed stable, suddenly Eddie Peng Yu-Yan and Baby were linked due to their film LOVE YOU
YOU (HA YUT LOK YAU YAU) and led to Baby and Huang Xiaoming's break up.  Baby's manager Kim did not respond to the rumor.  She said that this was Baby's personal matter.  Kim revealed that Baby at the end of the month will return to Hong Kong to promote the film.  Film director Jingle Ma Chor Sing was accused of promoting the film with rumors online, which he called absurd.  He hated this type of rotten news the most.  Peng Yu-Yan's manager stressed that he and Baby only became good friends due to the film and had chemistry working together; Peng Yu-Yan in recent interviews has stated that he was single many times.

Eason came alone and stated that because his wife had to run she did not have time.  However she was not upset at her figure, actually he wanted to exercise more too.  Would they run together?  Eason said that their schedule had to match first.  Because his wife's schedule was more normal and he due to recording often could not exercise until at night.  Even he got home his daughter would be asleep.  Speaking of LOVE IN SPACE seemingly has never had all of its actors at one promotion, Eason said that some actors were missing at every spot.  Even Kwai Lun-Mei and Angelababy have not watched the premiere.  He also said that actually he would like to try Sing Sing's astronaut character.  Would he be too heavy for the wire?  Eason joked, "Technology is so advanced now, it's not just two points to withstand the weight.  It can have many different support spots, but of course if Angelababy or Kwai Lun-Mei are on the wire it is easier.  They are so light, my shape is standard!"

Speaking of the recent hot topic of premarital financial registration, Eason disagreed because it felt like a sale; Sing Sing said that he did not have any experience in this area.  Eason said, "No problem, I will take my time talking to you about it."

Eason and Kwai Lun-Mei's mischief also got some laughs from the audience.  When they met he exchanged greetings.  Kwai Lun-Mei said, "Long time no see, you are much thinner."  Eason immediately praised her figure as fiery and her aura unique.  In the film they fell in love at first sight.  Kwai Lun_mei believed that two people's love happened instantly, Eason also agreed with love at first sight and even said that he also fell under Kwai Lun-Mei's spell.

Angelababy and Jing Boran played a couple for the second time already.  They expressed that if the audience accepted them they would be willing to keep going.  Yet Jing Boran said that next time Baby would play his wet nurse.
