Peter Chan Ho Sun won a special achievement award at the 9th Reggio Emilia Asian Film Festival. Sandra Ng Kwan Yu earlier went with Chan Ho Sun to accept the award. Kwan Yu also brought home an award as she won Best Actress with ALL ABOUT LOVE (DUT HAN CHAU FAN), much to her surprise.

Kwan Yu went with Chan Ho Sun to accept the award and to go on a holiday to relax, not expecting to receive the good news upon her return that Kwan Yu with the film defeated the likes of BUDDHA MOUNTAIN's Fan Bingbing and Sylvia Chang (Cheung Ngai Ga), CROSSING HENNESSY (YUET MOON HIN NEI SI)'s Tang Wei, LIKE A DREAM (YU MUNG)'s Yolanda Yuan Quan and others to win Best Actress. She said, "Actually after coming back from traveling the world with 'hubby', we can accept awards as a 'couple'. Double the pleasure, from now on we have to go on vacations more!" She also said that she just celebrated with Chan Ho Sun for his special achievement award, when she actually had one to accept as well. "That day I thought I was accompanying Peter to accept the award and visit Italy. On the day when Peter accepted the award, the event chair told me that I was in competition as well. I didn't know at all and asked him which movie. That was when I learned that ALL ABOUT LOVE was in competition and the result would be announced nine days later. Peter even put me down and said the competition was strong, in addition some of them like Fan Bingbing and Tang Wei have won Best Actress with their films so it would not be my turn to win. He sank my confidence so I didn't think about it. Yesterday I received the good news, it is truly
too surprising!"

Kwan Yu was asked if she won the lottery this time would she not be even more excited? Kwan Yu insisted that she was happier about winning Best Actress than the lottery. She said with satisfaction, "I am an actress after all! For an actress winning Best Actress of course is better than winning the lottery! I have to save more luck for the box office and awards. ALL ABOUT LOVE is a city comedy, comedy rarely wins awards. This is something to be happy and encouraged about. So I really have to thank Wong Jing to put an effort into making and supporting some more artistic films, as well as director (Ann) Hui On Wa, screen writer Yeung Kei San and a group of good co-stars (Vivian) Chow Wai Man and (Eddie) Cheung Siu Fai for making a good movie." Since the "couple" both won awards, would they celebrate? Kwan Yu said, "Earlier when we went to Milan I celebrated once with Peter, now I will wait until the award arrives! If last time I went with Peter to the WU XIA Cannes premiere and won Cannes Best Actress out of the blue, that would've been great! Hahaha......"

Eddie Cheung says photography is very inspirational, a hobby that people could enjoy even in the 80s. Earlier when he worked with Chow Yun Fat on THE MONKEY KING, Chow Yun Fat brought him to take photos on his free time, taught him and even provided equipment.

Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Eddie Cheung Siu Fai, Ciwi Lam Sze Man and director Oxide Pang Shun yesterday promoted their new film THE DETECTIVE 2 (B+ JING TAM). The event arranged for the live audience to make Sing Sing's poses on the posters. Sing Sing played along, brought back "Ah Tam" and chok the poster look to earn everyone's applause!

Sing Sing said that the film will first open in the Mainland on April 29, then on May 12 in Hong Kong. The film in order to enter the Mainland market removed the supernatural portion from its subject. The Mainland version would have have less bloody and violent scenes. Was he concerned about counterfeit? Sing Sing thought that the Mainland lifestyle was already very different as many people liked to go to the movies. However, Sing Sing ended up competing with himself as LOVE FOR LIFE (JUI OI), his new film with Zhang Ziyi, will open as well. Since the movies' genres would be different, Sing Sing would not worry too much.

Reportedly today Sing Sing would attend a new store opening with his rumored girlfriend Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam) for the first time, but Sing Sing said that he would leave Hong Kong at night to promote his Beijing concert. Thus he would have to miss the event, which he was very sorry about. The boss was his good friend and he originally thought that he would be able to make an appearance. Reporters joked that he could ask Lynn to represent him. Sing Sing thought that she could not and did not know for sure whether she would appear. Did he mind working as a couple? Sing Sing first said that they could not be called a couple. Reporters reacted and asked whether they should be called husband and wife instead? Sing Sing hinted, "In show business work is work, no one knows what will happen in the future. Even after marriage people can still work together. If my wife is in the business I don't mind. (If she is Lynn?) I don't mind." Sing Sing thought that now is different, just that he would never talk about his own personal life.

Speaking of recently Lynn was reported as having a brain tumor. Sing Sing thought that people who spread the gossip said that they were married, after clarification was made they realized that they had nothing to talk about so they switched to write about disease. Sing Sing thought that writing about other people's health was truly wrong; was he angry? Sing Sing said, "It's excessive! Some unhealthy magazines should examine their own ethics. When I came back to Hong Kong paparazzi asked me about it, when I heard I only smiled. You know how easy going I usually am, should I have reacted? (Are you aware of Lynn's health?) You see how healthy she is first! (You care very much about her?) I care about my friends."

As for Max Mok Siu Chung's arrest, Sing Sing revealed that over 20 years ago they worked together on his first series. How could he possibly not worried? However no matter what happened, anyone who made a mistake should admit it. Since he was an adult he really what he should do. Sing Sing continued, "When I knew him I was still a kid, but I already thought he had a lot of potential. I hope he will be fine soon. Whether an artist or an actor, everyone should lead a clean and honest life!"

Lingnan University presented a honorary degree to famous director Johnnie To Kei Fung. Andy Lau Tak Wa, Simon Yam Tat Wa, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Lau Ching Wan and his wife, Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Anthony Wong Chau Sun were among the 20 some industry friends came to show support. Wa Jai and Sammi dressed like they were the ones
who were getting an award; To Kei Fung's mentor Wong Tin Lam earlier passed away, To said that he would know in Heaven.

A group of artist friends came to witness To Sir's honor acceptance then posed for a photo outside the gates. as soon as Sammi saw To Sir she congratulated him. Both "Wa" also shook his hands to congratulate him. To Sir was somewhat nervous on stage. Later he said, "I have never done this before, it's a little strange to me. I appreciate my friends for coming all this way to support me. I too had an over a hour car ride from Tuen Mun. Sammi and Ching Wan rarely attend these events. I really thank them very much." To Sir said that he will soon reach his 40th year in the business and felt that he only received the honor because this job caught outside attention. In the future he will continue to work hard on movies. Speaking of mentor Wong Tin Lam not being able to attend, he sadly said, "Even if he was alive he wouldn't come. He's my mentor, he knows."

Wa Jai dressed up for the occasion. Reporters joked if he thought he was getting an award. He said, "To Sir is being honored. (Did you bring any gift?) No, but I shot a short congratulation film earlier. In it I talked about how we met." Wa Jai said back then in TVB he and To Sir
were not familiar. Then they were trapped in Changchun when they made A MOMENT OF ROMANCE 2 (TIN YEUK YAU CHING 2) and they gradually came to an understanding. He said, "with him it is a relationship between gentlemen. Back then he said I was an idol, told me not to just sing and to focus when acting." To Sir constantly made new attempts in film. Wa Jai said, in the future he will be willing to continue to be his lab rat because every time they worked together it has been a success. Would he like to receive a similar honor? He said, "I don't have his energy." As for Felix Wong Yat Wa blasting TVB, he said, "I don't know anything about it, I would support him no matter what. I will call him to get an understanding."

Sammi was very happy for To Sir and praised him for his numerous contribution to film. Before To Sir went on stage she even joked, "I hope he would be smarter on stage so the hat matches." Would she like to receive a similar honor? Sammi said that she did not dare as she was already very happy to be in the audience. Sammi decided to treat him to Japanese food to celebration. As for a gift, she said that she was already dressed like a present. Goo Jai hoped that To Sir will make more good movies in the future, continue to shine overseas. As for a gift, he said, "For Hong Kong film, I would give him my heart!"

Cheung Ka Fai said that in recent years aside from Chang Cheh, To Sir should have the most disciples. As for a gift, he said, "He has everything, I only came in support, maybe I will charge him less salary in the future. (After winning seven Best Actor awards your salary rose
tremendously?) Looking around the film industry, I am already the cheapest, the best value, the one with the most rotten life!" Yam Tat Wa said that today he came to "welcome joy" and talked about Wong Yat Wa blasting TVB. He hoped that he could turn GUN METAL GREY (YING GAING) into welcoming joy; "His complaint is correct, TVB only supports its own
children. What he says is absolutely right." Yam Tat Wa also suggested dividing To Sir's cap into 18 pieces. Ten years later they could put them together again and dine together. Yam Tat Wa's brother Yam Tat Wing later will receive a badge. He said that he will take him to dinner and praised his brother for his great contribution to the society.

Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Vivian Chow Wai Man, Joey Man Yi Man, William Chan Wai Ting, Eddie Cheung Siu Fai and others yesterday wore black to attend the new film ALL ABOUT LOVE (DUK HAN CHAU FAN) premiere in memory of the Hong Kong hijacking victims in Manila. Kwan Yu said with a heavy heart, "Nothing is worth celebrating. This entire matter could originally been avoided, but now whatever we say is useless. I only wish that the governments of Hong Kong and the Philippines properly deal with the aftermath." Kwan Yu also pointed out that two nights ago she watched the live television broadcast with her Filipino maid. "She is no different from my family. I would answer the Hong Kong government's call and not go there for now." Vivian stated that she prayed for the victims all night.

Originally William planned to wear a red suit to the event, but after the tragedy he immediately changed. "Now I am looking for the related charity organizations, I want to donate some money to the family of the victims." The team planned to change the premiere change, but of actor schedules and venue booking the change would be very difficult. Thus the show went on as scheduled. Other guests included Petrina Fung Bo Bo and Deanie Ip Tak Han.

[2010.08.23] SANDRA NG TAKES BIG STEPS TO DENY PREGNANCY RUMORS

Earlier Simon Yam Tat Wa and Kam Kwok Leung revealed that Sandra Ng Kwan Yu turned down the film YIT OI DOH (HOT LOVE ISLAND) due to pregnancy. Kwan Yu yesterday attended ALL ABOUT LOVE (DUT HAN CHAU FAN)'s promotional event. Although she was plumper than before, she was light on her feet. She even deliberately took big steps on and off stage to clarify that she was not pregnant yet. However she admitted that because she was hesitant, she turned down the role two days before the shoot. She publicly apologized to Kam Kwok Leung and the team and pointed out that Kam Kwok Leung should be mad at her.

The film ALL ABOUT LOVE yesterday held a promotion. Attendees included Ng Kwan Yu, Vivian Chow Wai Man, William Chan Ting Wai, Eddie Cheung Siu Fai, Joey Man Yi Man and Jo Kuk Cho Lam. The actors played games with the audience. Rumored to be pregnant, Kwan Yu appeared in loose fit clothing and looked slightly fatter than before. However when she walked she took big steps as she always has. She even danced with the audience and did not seem pregnant. When reporters joked that Kwan Yu should be careful, she said, "Crazy." Later reporters congratulated her and she immediately said, "No need." She denied that she could not make the announcement before the time was not right yet, but she admitted that she turned down YIT OI DOH. She said, "The story is very simple. I turned it down two days before the production was to start. I understand as soon as I turned it down numerous speculations would arise."

As for Kam Kwok Leung pointed out that she was "pregnant", Kwan Yu said, "He always talks like that!" This time she turned down the role because earlier she already said that she did not want to work during the summer vacation. Since Peter Chan Ho Sun went to Yunnan, she had to watch their daughter. The film had to shoot abroad and her schedule could not adjust. She admitted that she was wrong in the matter as she did not turn it down absolutely. She said, "I was hesitant and indecisive. The whole story actually doesn't have 'more to the story'." However she said that the team had some problems as well and Chan Ho Sun asked her not to take the role. Kwan Yu said, "Ultimately I owed the team, Kam Kwok Leung, Brother Wa." Did she turn down the role due to pregnancy? She said no, and she has not signed any contract to confirm production.

Why did she turn it down two days before the shoot was about to begin? She pointed out that some issues took place behind the scene, originally the production was halted but then resumed again. The entire matter was very mysterious. Was she afraid that the incident would affect her friendship with Kam Kwok Leung/ Kwan Yu said, "That's why I am saying sorry to him, I called him." Was she the first female lead in the film? Kwan Yu did not know what first female lead was. The film had three girls, the characters were very even. She did not know that the team wanted Carina Lau Ka Ling. Kam Kwok Leung pointed out that Ka Ling was actually his first choice. Did she feel that he was promoting with the matter? Kwan Yu said, "Whatever. I work in this business, whether it was promotion or news, it is still news! It doesn't matter, I wouldn't think about whether people are promoting like that, even if it is promotion it
is very normal. After losing one actor you of course have to find another." She reiterated that Kam Kwok Leung should be mad at him and being upset was normal.

Again she was asked whether she denied the pregnancy because the time was not right. Kwan Yu said, "That's not it, just keep your eyes peeled and see!" Reporters asked that she did not admit to the first pregnancy either. She pointed out that at the time she wanted some
privacy. This time she honestly admitted that she wanted a baby. Was she working hard on having a child? She joked, "Peter is in Yunnan! The altitude is too high! At such a age, a senior would be trying too hard to catch a breath. I am talking about him, not me!"

In addition, Chow Wai Man believed Kwan Yu was not pregnant. Otherwise she definitely would know. She hoped everyone would give her a little space. Chow Wai Man also revealed that someone was impersonating her on microblog. She clarified that she has no microblog, blog or
Facebook yet, for now she has not considered starting any. Since she has her own official site, sometimes she would leave messages on the board. She already has a platform to communicate with fans.

[2010.08.21] EDDIE CHEUNG GIVES FIRST ON SCREEN KISS TO SANDRA NG

courtesy of takungpao.com


Having worked with Sandra Ng Kwan Yu and vivian Chow Wai man on television, Eddie Cheung Siu Fai in recent years has made the jump to the big screen and worked on an Ann Hui On Wa directed film for the first time. Aside from working with these two beauties again, the
largest breakthrough was his first big screen kiss.

About his kiss scene with Kwan Yu, Cheung Siu Fai said that he did not smoke or have any garlic before hand. He did not make any preparation before the shoot could get chewing gum. Because the kiss scene was shot two or three days into the production and he has not seen Kwan Yu in
years, they were between being familiar and strangers so it was somewhat awkward. However both were good actors. Under the director's order they were able to get into character right away. Cheung Siu Fai said, "After the first take everyone was very satisfied, but the director suggested a few more tries for comparison. Finally we did three takes and still chose the first take. Because during the first take no one was certain about the other would actually do, it was the most natural."

About working with Hui On Wa this time, Cheung Siu Fai said that she extremely trusted her cast and was very satisfied with everyone's performance. Sometimes he would become suspicious. At the same time the team would chat and laugh off camera, making the entire production was relaxed. He said, "This time everyone really improvised so we didn't need to hold back our laughter. Instead we had some flubs, like during the shoot some props were ruined."
