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.

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.

[2010.07.24] ELANNE KONG BITES LAU CHING WAN

The Danny Pang Fat directed film FAIRY TALE KILLER (SOK MING TUNG WA) yesterday held its production start ceremony in Thailand. Attendees included Elanne Kong Yuek Lam, Lau Ching Wan, Joey Man Yi Man, and Mainland actor Wang Baoqiang. The film company selected a lucky time for the worship ceremony to take place and invited Thai priests for the ceremony. In the film Lau Ching Wan and Man Yi Man play a couple. Yesterday they worked on a scene in which they saw Kong Yuek Lam and Wang Baoqiang on the streets and mistook them for beggars. Ching Wan gave them 20 bucks.

Ching Wan expressed that this time he plays a cop who is investigating serial murders but actually is a "slanted shoulder" (irresponsible) cop. In one scene Kong Yuek Lam had to bite him. Ching Wan said, "It's just a bite! It's no big deal!" This is also Ching Wan's first collaboration with Pang Fat. At first he thought he was very serious, actually he was very happy and had a childlike innocence. The shoot has also been very comfortable, the facilities were complete. His wife earlier also visited the set. Earlier the entire team all succumbed to eye infection. Ching Wan said that his eyes have always been sensitive and required eye drops even with a little more dust. Luckily his eyes were only red and were fine after eye drops, but others had to be hospitalized.

Kong Yuek Lam's character suffers from severe autism. Wang Baoqiang plays her boyfriend. She also has been busy with a TVB series in which she plays a happy and energetic Ming Dynasty princess, a role that is very different from this film's character. Because she plays
someone with autism, she has no dialogue and can only make expressions. She works on each scene until she mentally breaks down, she also has to hit herself in the head. She also goes crazy, hits and bites Ching Wan. Sometimes she works until she wails and she is afraid that she cannot
leave the character. The worst part is the team wants her to face the wall for several hours to gather her emotions. Because she wears white, other people pass by and think they see a ghost. They often use a flashlight on her. The director also prohibits her to go out and eat so she is focused on the character. She also says that this character is very similar to the 15 year old who killed his mother and sister in Hong Kong. She feels that Hong Kong has many mental patients. How does she relieve stress? She says, "Luckily the TVB series has (Michael) Tse Tin Wa and (Sammul) Chan Kin Fung to play with me, later I will take half a month to visit Taiwan or India."

Kong Yuek Lam also said that on her first day in Thailand she was locked in her hotel for half a hour. Luckily later she was able to open the door and she immediately asked her assistant to keep her company. Speaking of the film CHILD'S EYE (TUNG NGAN) being selected for the Venice Film Festival, she was very excited about the chance to go the event. Meanwhile, working with Ching Wan for the first time Pang Fat stated that as soon as the cameras rolled he knew Ching Wan was "good". Kong Yuek Lam also has improved a lot. As for CHILD'S EYE's Venice Film Festival participation, he expressed that he did not know whether he or his brother
would go. Lately he has been busy with writing a love story.
