Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam), Chapman To Man Jat earlier promoted their Lunar New Year film ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2012 (BAK SING PO HEI).  Co-star Kelly Chen Wai Lam became pregnant during the shoot.  With many female artists' good news in the business, would Kwan Yu plan for a Dragon baby?  Kwan Yu said that a good friend once recommended her to visit a Chinese medicine practitioner to recover but not for having a child; she joked that Lee Lam Lam would be her target.  She said, "I am too old, I have too much pressure, back then I succeeded after trying for four months.  During the pregnancy I lost most of Calcium and Ossein, losing the weight took me two years."

Does her daughter want a companion?  Kwan Yu joked that Peter Chan Ho Sun used to lie to her daughter that she had a little sister.  Now Kwan Yu often asked her daughter whether she knew her "little sister" was in the Mainland or Thailand?  Kwan Yu said that she thought about a surrogate or adoption, but adoption took a long time and she had limited energy.

Would Hung Doi Lam have a child?  She said that she still has not made enough money.  She thought girls should save more money first.  In the future if she did not work she could have more of a say.  When asked whether Aaron Kwok Fu Sing was chauvinistic and did not permit her to talk, she said no.  They got along like ordinary people.  Lynn said that in the future when she will wed she absolutely will not sneak around.  She thought that a joyous event should not be hidden and hoped that everyone would wish them well and accept them.  She liked children but she already had two dogs at home.  Were the dogs' last names Kwok?  She joked that for now they were still Xiong.  Later it would depend on what the last name of "Papa" will be.  Earlier she brought her parents to see Sing Sing in concert, like meeting the parents.  Were her parents
satisfied with this "son in law"?  Lynn immediately awkwardly stated that her parents had a lot of fun but did not have much comment. Lynn and Ah Jat in the film had a kiss scene.  She said that it was just a peck, but she could not accept bed scenes.  Before her intimate scenes she did not have to report to Sing Sing in advance.

Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam), Kelly Chen Wai Lam, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Chapman To Man Jat, Raymond Wong Pak Ming and others two nights ago went to the film ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2012 (BAK SING PO HEI) premiere.  Also on hand were many guest stars like Ronald Cheng Chung Kei.  Coincidentally his wife Sammie Yu Sze Man was the host.  When everyone was on the stage for a group photo, he did not appear.

Kwan Yu pushed up three inches of "career line".  She explained that because her character was named "Sung Chau Bo" so she had to coordinate.  Did she add pads?  Chi Tan praised her and said that she did not need to.  Kwan Yu told him to stop pretending to be naive.  Chi Tan joked, "I am not (Peter) Chan Ho Sun, how would I know?  Today I will call him!"  Kwan Yu again said that for this shoot she had to at least add two more pads.  She did not understand why she did not have a figure but constantly had to act like she did.

Kelly admitted that she did not want to dress too maternity so she wore a fiery red dress and heels.  Her belly recently has grown very rapidly.  For balance actually she should not wear heels that were too high.  Now "Mini Juicy Bun" is already more than six months.  Was Goo Jai her guardian?  He said of course, he was responsible for helping her up and down as well as what was in Kelly's purse.  Kelly took out a pineapple puff, saying that she was prepared in case she was hungry.  With the dragon dance and the confetti cannon, was Mini Juicy Bun scared?  Kelly said, "The confetti cannon scared me, (Did he kick you?)  I can't feel him unless it's very quiet, but he is constantly kicking me like after meals and sleeping.  He's even stronger than King Nikochan (Lau Sing)."

As for Lynn she said that she did not know her rumored boyfriend Aaron Kwok Fu Sing was about to call his horse CALL OF LOVE, but thought that the song was very classic.  Would it be better if it was named after her?  Lynn said that it could not, it would be better if it was called Aaron Kwok.  Would naming it after her be very sweet?  Lynn said she would worry about it when it happened, as it would feel very severe.  She too wanted to watch him lead the horse, she would be willing to take photos for him.

A cable program invited recently Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam) and Raymond Wong Pak Ming to guests on the "Shall we cook?" segment.  They personally made Lunar New Year delicacy.  Hung Doi Lam said that she did not mind others calling her "Sing Soh" and stated that she hoped to be as fortunate as Kelly Chen Wai Lam.

Wong Pak Ming said that ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2012 (BAK SING PO HEI) was Kelly's first film after marriage.  He even boasted, "Working on my stuff has an advantage, as soon as you do something joyous happens."  Lynn was asked whether she did.  Lynn said, "Not yet, I hope to be as fortunate as Kelly."


Donnie Yen Chi tan in ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2012 was in a band.  He due to the story had to be "Eason Chan Yik Shun possessed" as he reprised his music award show behavior.  Chi Tan's look and gestures won a lot of applause.  He even uploaded the "award photo" online in support of the film company's recent promotion of the message of love and left a message that he really "loved" film.

Speaking of being a film industry hot property today, Chi Tan recalled almost being bankrupted.  "It's hard to forget before and after the 97 financial storm, I funded BALLISTIC KISS (SAT SAT YUN TIU TIU MO) myself.  The production cost was not even US$500,000, but it bombed at the box office and cleared the table with one shot!  I have been when I only had 100 in my bank account, at a dead end and had to borrow from a loan shark."  Luckily he persisted and was able to succeed.

The Lunar New Year film ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2012 (BAK SING PO HEI) two nights ago promoted in Causeway Bay.  Chapman To Man Jat, Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam), Raymond Wong Pak Ming and Karena Ng Chin Yu attended and gave away hugs on the streets.  Actually this was a prank that targeted Hung Doi Lam, but because the media was not notified chaos ensued.  Some thought an accident really took place.  Lynn was frightened out of her wits as well.

Two nights ago at the embrace session, an "extra" male viewer came to the stage.  He went crazy because he could not hug Lynn on the stage and even argued with "extras" in the audience.  Later this "extra" male viewer smashed a bottle over Wen Chao's head.  Wen Chao "pretended" to collapse.  Hung Doi Lam was scared out of her wits and immediately ran off the stage.  The male viewer still screamed, "Lynn!  I want to hug you!  I am your real husband!"  Then two "extra" police officers came to stop everything.  With the bloodshed, the media panicked.  At that time the male viewer suddenly hug Ah Jat with a smile and kissed him, then everyone realized that it was just a prank.

Hung Doi Lam later said that she truly was scared and wanted to rush home.  Ah Jat as the "accomplice" admitted that he did not want to.  He joked that he planned to buy her an Aaron Kwok Fu Sing concert DVD as compensation.  Lynn said that she would not tell Sing Sing, who would find out from the papers.  She joked, "If they want to play a prank on me, I may strike back.  So they are very afraid.  Maybe because Ah Jat doesn't know about my tendency toward violence, this time I fell for it."

Karena Ng Chin Yu might have been in the business for a short time but she already has many film offers.  After MAGIC TO WIN (HOI SUM MOR FAT) she will star in the classic comedy film series GA YAU HEI SI 2012 (ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL) with comedy experts Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Raymond Wong Pak Ming, Chapman To Man Jat and Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam).  The film company was even interested in inviting Taiwan hunks like Aaron Yan and Godfrey Gao.  This time GA YAU HEI SI 2012's director will be Vincent Kok Tak Siu, who worked with Wong on ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2009.  However with the ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2012 (BAK SING PO HEI) release during the Lunar New Year, this film will be released in the summer.

In addition, the film MAGIC TO WIN yesterday unveiled more posters.  Producer Wong Pak Ming pointed out that many viewers and cinema owners suggested for him to remake the classic HAPPY GHOST film series, which led to the MAGIC TO WIN production that brought the film with all new angles to the audience.

The Raymond Wong Pak Ming produced 2012 Lunar New Year film ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2012 (BAK SING PO HEI) yesterday held a press conference in Sheung Wan.  Actors Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam), Kelly Chen Wai Lam, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Chapman To Man Jat, Jeremy Liu (Lau Chi Chin) all appeared in costumes.  Ah Jat's look was almost exactly the same as Peter Chan Ho Sun.  Kwan Yu immediately embraced him and played a couple.  She also appeared with a three inch career line and became the focus!

Kwan Yu later explained that she played a past her prime singer who was too lazy to work and only looked for boyfriends.  Thus she displayed her career line in hopes of attracting more men.  Chi Tan played a downtrodden rock singer.  Because they were both singers, song and dance were inevitable.  Kwan Yu said with exaggeration, "We have many costumes and have to sing and dance.  We are very exaggerated.  In one scene we have to dance an Indian dance.  I kept twisting in platform shoes, finally I was injured and had to see a doctor.  I was in pain for two weeks!  I never thought that Chi Tan aside from strong kung fu also was an amazing dancer!"  Chi Tan added that as soon as that image went out even Ronald Cheng Chung Kei would be out of work.  Actually at first when he learned that he had to work with Kwan Yu, he wanted to go wilder and all out more, but Kwan Yu sensed Chi Tan's initial nervousness as if he was afraid that she would improvise at any moment.  After the second day he was like a different person.  Chi Tan said, "On the second day I began to blow up, I overlooked all dignity.  I even had to pole dance in one scene1"

Kelly and Goo Jai played a couple.  Because photographer Kelly came to look for construction worker Goo Jai to model, Kelly joked that on the third day of the shoot she has already seen Goo Jai in all his glory.  Now she was somewhat not used to him wearing clothes.  How was his figure?  Kelly joked, "It's great!  I used it with a pen, it's real!  Indeed he has some training, he's very hard working!"  Goo Jai honestly said that at first he was a little embarrassed because he never thought that he had to be constantly naked.  Earlier he played Tarzan in the forest and only wore a piece of leopard print cloth.  Did he have to wear a thong?  Goo Jai helplessly said, "I still have a Mr. Hong Kong look that I haven't shot yet.  I don't know what it will be like, I don't want to think about it!  (Do you have to train your muscles?)  No!  (Are you confident?)  I haven't shot it yet, luckily Kelly won't be there!"  Kelly then joked that she had to bring a group of friends to visit the set to support Goo Jai.

Speaking of Ricky Hui Koon Ying's sudden death at home from a heart attack, Kwan Yu praised that he was a nice person and a great actor.  She sent her condolences to his family.  Goo Jai and Kelly have not
worked with him before.  Kelly said that because he was only 65, she felt it was quite a regret.  As for his deepest impression, Goo Jai said, "MR. VAMPIRE.  Back then my FANTASIA (GWAI MA KONG SEUNG KUK) was based on the Hui Brothers."

Two Best Actors Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Tony Leung Ka Fai starred new film COLD WAR (HONG JIN) yesterday held a press conference.  Yesterday was Sing Sing's birthday and the event arranged for a plane shaped cake to celebrate with him.  Sing Sing revealed that he would meet 20 friends for dinner and admitted that rumored girlfriend Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam) would attend.

Kwok Fu Sing, Leung Ka Fai, Aarif Rahman (Lee Chi Ting), Eddie Peng Yu-yen, Chin Kar Lok and Lam Ka Tung introduced their characters.  Ka Fai said that the last time he worked with Sing Sing was THROW DOWN (YAU DOH LUNG FU BONG) years ago.  He thought that his acting was more and more stable and mature.  How will Sing Sing celebrate his birthday?  He said, "Probably dinner, with around 20 friends.  (Was Hung Doi Lam invited?)  I invited her, she should be in Hong Kong."  Speaking of Hung Doi Lam stating that she had a headache from preparing a birthday gift, he said, "Many friends all say that, actually I am already very happy about good friends having the time to meet.  It's fortune."  Sing Sing thanked his friends for already planning the celebration months ago because he could not promise to attend.  He said, "Friends said they didn't care if I couldn't come.  For example Shum Ka Wai deliberately came back from Beijing.  This birthday could be considered unexpected because I always thought I would have to work.  Luckily the team won't have a notice until tomorrow night so I have more time."

In the film playing a rival character opposite Leung Ka Fai, Sing Sing said that it will be an exciting film that battles wits, courage and ruthlessness.  He hoped to be able to create another classic after INFERNAL AFFAIRS (MO GAN DOH).  Sing Sing also said that earlier they shot a major explosion scene that used three hydrogen bombs to create a giant fire ball.  Although the effect was dangerous but the actors on the set
were very safe.  Has Hung Doi Lam visited the set?  Sing Sing said, "I don't like friends visiting the set, I am afraid that work would be affected.  People who understand me know that I focus on work.  Even manager Siu Mei rarely appears."  As for Andy Lau Tak Wa, he had a part but did not appear yesterday.  The press release did not mention Wa Jai's name.  Sing Sing said, "For now I have to keep it confidential, Wa Jai plays a very important character.  My scenes with him earlier have already been completed."

Sing Sing joked that he grew up watching his performance, Leung Ka Fai did not mind.  "He probably saw my commercials.  In my growth process I made many commercials, if I have to count it would take awhile."
Ka Fai praised that Sing Sing's acting now has become more and more mature and called him "Heavenly King Best Actor".  Will he attend Sing Sing's birthday dinner?  He said, "When will he have time to eat with us?"  Did he feel Sing Sing and Hung Doi Lam make a good couple?  Ka Fai said, "You can tell from how solid Lynn's acting is, turning from a model to an actress.  If they are truly boyfriend and girlfriend, privately they must have very deep exchanges."
