The Wong Jing directed new film MR. AND MRS. GAMBLER (LAN DOH FU DAU LAN DOH CHAI) two nights ago held a celebration.  The cast included Chapman To Man Jat, Fiona Sit Hoi Kei, Philip Ng Won Lung and director Wong Jing attended.  Wong Jing became the dealer and watched the actors make their wagers, but they only played with prop chips.  Sit Hoi Kei immediately took off her ring and said that she wanted to place a bet.  Finally she won.  Sit Hoi Kei said that the ring was worth HK$600 and wanted Wong Jing to pay up.  Finally Wong Jing was forced to give HK$100 as reward.  Sit Hoi Kei said that she did not like to gamble and revealed that the film had a good educational meaning.  To Man Jat said that Sit Hoi Kei's performance was not as sexy and attractive as the LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO) actresses.  Sit Hoi Kei said, "If the script requires it I would, but the intimate scene wasn't the focus.  Please ask To Man Jat not to mind.  Adding dirty elements into a comedy would only be for his own satisfaction."

The film after ten days in release made HK$5 million, which was decent.  Lead actor To Man Jat thanked the audience for the support.  He said that last year he made eight movies in one breath.  This year he would have many film scheduling clashes and competition with himself would be inevitable.  To Man Jat said, "Investors said that the response to this movie was decent and would consider a sequel."

Mag Lam Yun Tung, Michelle Wai (Si Nga), Jeana Ho Pui Yu, Eva Lai Yin San and Mr. two nights ago attended their new film HEI SAI YIU GWUN wrap banquet.  Jeana said that she was saving the sexy dress for the premiere and already had an idea on the look.

Although the film already wrapped, Jeana suggested to the director a band scene in the love scene with her and Dash because she has never tried it before.  However both the director and Dash rejected her suggestion.  Dash pointed out that the bed was too soft to jam on and the director said that he would wait until the LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO) film series.  Was Jeana addicted to love scenes?  She said, "No, I just want to try something different.  I want to play a lesbian too."  She also said that actually in the film she and Dash had very few intimate scenes because in the story they have already been dating for 8 or 9 years.  However while working with Mr. she saw their passion for music, which made her interested in forming a girl band.  Would she work on LAN KWAI FONG 2?  She said that she would only participate in the film's casting but instead would participate in LAN KWAI FONG 3.  Because she was responsible for casting for the first time, she asked the candidates not to be too nervous, to relax and it would be the best if their figures were not better than hers.

This film was Mag's first lead role.  She played romantic rivals with Si Nga.  They both liked Mr.'s Alan but finally Mag won.  Was Mag very sassy with her boyfriend?  She said, "Sometimes, sometimes I would be sassy and sometimes I wouldn't care.  However I wouldn't hit my boyfriend.  Actually with couples acting up a little wasn't anything major.  The most important is not to turn it into an argument."  This year she plans to focus on music.  Even if she made more money from making movies she still liked to sing.  Si Nga in the film played a single mother for the first time and had a five year old daughter.  It was a challenge for her acting.  However she remembered to praise Mag's acting.  In one drunk scene Mag did not feel well but her performance was still very convincing.

The pseudo models Jeana Ho Pui Yu and Phoebe Hui Wing starred LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO) made 8.7 million after over a month in release in Hong Kong and Macau.  Two nights ago a celebration was held.  Jeana and Phoebe were both late due to work.

Jeana was satisfied with the box office performance.  "If it was too great, I would be afraid I couldn't accept it and had a stroke."  She said that she rather enjoyed the film production.  Yet lately due to her play rehearsal she was exhausted.

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.
