Jeana Ho Pui Yu, DaDa Chen Jing, Shiga Lin Si Nga yesterday attended a LAN KWAI FONG 2 (HEI OI YEH PO 2) actor recruitment event at a Central bar.  Chrissie Chau Sau Na's boyfriend Avis Chan Wai Sing, pseudo models Iris and Monna Lam were present as well.

Jeana was once rumored to be at odds with elder colleague Chau Sau Na, but yesterday when she saw Chau's boyfriend Avis at the audition she was under his spell.  "I didn't know that he would come.  I was very surprised.  Later I would give him more points, I am even persuading the director to give me scenes with him.  (Bed scenes?)  Not necessarily the bed, closet, sofa all work.  This time I am not only a judge but also checking out high and handsome guys."  Avis said that he already told his girlfriend.  "Chrissie knows I am coming to the audition.  We communicated, but I didn't dare to tell her about all the pretty girls here.  (Are you worried that your girlfriend wouldn't like you making intimate scenes?)  I don't care whether she likes it or not, I care more about who I am working with.  (What about Jean?)  It's work, the more familiar the better, communication would be easier.  For the New Year I hope to travel with Chrissie, but she may not have time off."

DaDa was no match for the younger girls.  "I am not feeling well, my eye is infected.  I really lack sleep, my body is sending out warning signals."

The film DAI JOOK HEI KET (VULGAR COMEDY) yesterday held a production start ceremony.  Attending actors were Chapman To Man Jat, DaDa Chen Jing, Jim Chim Shui Man, Susan Shaw Yam Yam and others.  Chen Jing yesterday appeared in a low cut dress without any fear of the chill.  Producer Ah Jat pointed out that every one of Chen Jing's costume will be sexy; he also said that this film will be a category III film.  It will have a lot of foul language and thus Hong Kong will be its primary market.

Chen Jing will perform in her first category III film but she will not strip.  In the film she will play an "explosion girl" but she will have to keep how explosive a secret for now.  Was she afraid that after making this film she will be typecast as a category III star?  Chen Jing said that she was not and she will not need to strip in the film.  Mainly the film will have a lot of foul language.  However the film will have a "car rocking" scene.

Chen Jing every year has posed for a sexy calendar, this year she will not.  She explained that she has done it a few times already and she was afraid that everyone would get tired of it.  Thus this year she will leave the task to her junior colleagues while she will focus on making a movie.  Will she not be sexy again?  She thought that she will because being sexy helped, she did not have to make picture books and calendars all the time.

DaDa Chen Jing, Jeana Ho Pui Yu, Shiga Lin Si Nga and others two nights ago attended the film LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO)'s celebration banquet.  Jeana earlier broke up with her boyfriend.  She said, "We separated to cool down.  Earlier the emotions were very complicated, now they are much better.  I have to turn sorrow into appetite.  I asked producer (Wilson) Chin Kwok Wai to cover my food and drinks for a month and keep celebrating."

Jeana hoped to win back "custody" of her dog.  Did he not agreed?  She said, "he may want to keep a strand of connection.  Right now sleeping alone is very dry.  Every night I have to drink more than half a bottle of red wine before I am able to sleep, like I am forced to knock myself out.  So I want to have my 'daughter' Gigi to keep me company."  She said that their break up was amicable.  She said, "I have been in the business for two years.  At first at the agency our relationship was OK.  This year after I gained my independence our pace was different.  I am running, he seems to be walking."  Did she feel her boyfriend was not progressing?  She said, "I am financially stable on my own.  If it's for money, I don't have to get into the business.  All I have to do is meeting someone rich.  Ultimately now I have to adjust my pace."  She admitted that the difference was in the pace of "making money".  Did she feel her boyfriend was lazy?  She said, "OK, he lives in the village.  Earlier when I stayed at the village for one night I thought I got lazy and had to jump back out again.  The village life is like a holiday."

Earlier Chen Jing was caught going to see Dior Cheng Yi Kin's concert in Macau and spent the night with Eddie Li Yu Yeung.  She stated that they were just friends.  DaDa said, "A friend outside the business invited both of us, he didn't ask me.  Originally I didn't know he would go."  She said that they met at work.  Did she feel he was pursuing her?  She said, "I don't sense it.  (Are you after him?)  Even less, I don't know about the future, right now we are good friends.  (Would you consider him?)  I won't know until the pursuit is on.  It isn't yet."  DaDa clarified that they did not spend the night together.

The film LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO) two nights ago held a celebration.  Jeana Ho Pui Yu, DaDa Chen Jing and Bonnie Xian (Sin Sik Lai) attended.  Jeana's nemesis Phoebe Hui Wing due to work was absent.  Speaking of Phoebe's absence, Jeana said, "I would eat her share too.  (Are you happier?)  Not happier, but have more to eat."  DaDa honestly said that Phoebe's absence was somewhat regrettable, but work was more important.  On this night everyone wanted to share a happy meal together.

Two nights ago Jeana Ho Pui Yu, DaDa Chen Jing, Shiga Lin Si Nga and others gave away post cards to promote their film LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO).  Jeana and DaDa played it safe and dressed more
conservatively.  Jeana said, "It's the first time I gave away promotional items in Causeway Bay.  I never imagined that so many people would be here.  With security on hand I feel very safe."

DaDa said that this promotion was different from the ordinary promotion so she dressed more conservatively.  With all the safety precautions she felt very at ease.

Phoebe Hui Wing, Jeana Ho Pui Yu and DaDa Chen Jing two nights ago attended the film LAN KWAI FONG's celebration.  Phoebe stole the show with a sexy low cut dress.  During photo opportunities she grabbed DaDa to separate her from Jeana.  She even stated that Jeana was only a "hi bye friend", with DaDa they occasionally chatted on the phone and were close.

Jeana overlooked all the attention that went to Phoebe and even joked that she was afraid that the people sitting across from Phoebe might be full before they even ate.  She chose to dress more conservatively because she was afraid that others would not be able to eat.  DaDa said that being stuck between them were uncomfortable.  Would she play mediator for them?  She said that She thought everyone were considered friends and did not hold any grudges, but they should bring personal matter to work.

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.

DaDa Chen Jing and Stephanie Cheng Yung two nights ago promoted their new film LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO) with an audience appreciation at the cinemas.  Jeana Ho Pui Yu reportedly asked the director for more screen time.  DaDa supported that Jeana was not that type of person and even saw Jeana as a friend for life.  Thus she would not worry that this matter would affect their friendship.  She said, "Earlier due to picture book promotions everyone had some misunderstanding.  Maybe each person handled matters differently.  When we made this film we were not longer at odds.  We even became friends.  After the shoot we are still in contact.  For me a friend is for life, I would treat her as a friend."

Did Cheng Yung mind that she was not in the promotional poster?  She said that not only did she not mind, she also thanked the director for her sexy slimming product poster from years ago for the film's actresses to study.  Did she already decline to be sexy?  She said, "My sexy peak has already passed, but it hasn't expired.  I just want to rest a little, I don't want to be sexy at every moment."

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."
