The Kam Kwok Leung directed film YIT OI DOH (HOT LOVE ISLAND) yesterday started production. Actors Simon Yam Tat Wa , Joan Chen, Francis Ng Chun Yu, Chang Chen, Xiao Song Jia, and Janice Man Wing Shan attended. The actors cut a roast pig together to pray for a smooth production. Earlier the film reportedly approached Sandra Ng Kwan Yu with its female lead. Later Ng Kwan Yu was rumored to resign due to pregnancy and Carina Lau Ka Ling was rumored to take over. Now the female lead went to Joan Chen.

Yam Tat Wa in the film played a couple with Joan Chen. They went from dating, marriage, divorce to reunion as their relationship grew complicated. Would they have any intimate scene? Yam Tat Wa joked that it would be crazy intimate. Joan Chen said that she did not know and wait until later and see. Was she willing to be intimate with a hunk like Yam Tat Wa? She joked, "I can't wait." Then she praised Yam Tat Wa as happy, lovable and professional. With him on the set the atmosphere would be very pleasant.

As for the actress carousel that ended up with Joan Chen, Yam Tat Wa had no idea and only said that good productions often would be like that. He was already very happy to be able to work with his idol. Was this Brother Wa's first collaboration with Joan Chen? He said yes and that he admired her very much, in particular her acting. Joan Chen said that she had no idea how many people were approached. Earlier Willie Chan Chi Keung asked her for help and said that the actress was pregnant. She would help as long as she was able to. As for when she was asked, she said it was a long time ago and could not remember.

Speaking of two other actresses before her, Joan Chen did not mind because this situation often occurred in film. She too has quitted roles that needed to others to fill in. She said, "I like Hong Kong very much, I haven't made a Hong Kong film in a long time." Yam Tat Wa and Ng Kwan Yu's ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW (SHUI YUET SUN TAU) was selected to represent Hong Kong to compete for this year's Best Foreign Film Oscar. Joan Chen immediately congratulated Yam Tat Wa, who said, "I took hope this film will have a chance (at the nomination) later." Yesterday the production start ceremony was delayed. Other actors Ng Chun Yu, Chang Chen after the worship ceremony went to the set without any interview.

Wang Leehom (Wong Lik Won)'s first film as a writer, director and star, LOVE IN DISGUISE (LUEN OI TUNG GO) will be released on August 13, but its pictorial collection is already available to warm up the market. Today Director Wang even took time for a film pictorial collection autograph session in Taipei and shared the growth and creative experience of his debut as a director.

The book is divided into Superstar Chapter, Disguise Chapter, Romance Chapter, School Life Chapter, and Music Chapter, and also collects many exciting stills from the film and the record of his growth as a first time director. Leehom stated that he did not just decide to make a movie out of the blue. He passionately loved creating and enjoyed that type of something out of nothing process, whether with records, writing, acting or directing. These creative processes enriched his life and made his life more meaningful. He also shared his director experience. "A director is like being at the helm, the entire team works toward the direction that you would like to go. In addition, you have to be responsible for all the workers' everyday life. Perhaps due to a lack of personnel, sometimes I have to do a variety of chores like sweeping and moving props myself."

In this inspirational comedy, Leehom even stars in the lead opposite Liu Yifei and Joan Chen. The story not only mixed in music, love, traditional art and culture with other elements but also attempted to deliver a courage of self breakthrough, self hard work and true heart to the audience.
