Movie Box Review

The 2010 Miss Chinese International pageant took place last night in Tianjun. Raymond Lam Fung and TVB executive Elaine Lok Yi Ling attended and met with the media before the pageant to discuss Shaw executive Wong Ka Hei accusing Lam Fung of lacking film market and revealing Mona Fong Yat Wa criticized Eric Tsang Chi Wai's Lunar New Year film script as poor, unwilling to respond to the production.

Lam Fung said that he has not read the report and humbly said that this year was a start for him in film and thus he would accept all elders' opinions and work hard on himself. He also pointed out that PERFECT WEDDING (PO PO CHIU GAI YUN)'s box office has already exceeded 15 million. He has been in the business for over a decade and was already used to growing up in different noises. Ms. Lok handed him a folder and said that it was from Fong Yat Wa. Lam Fung opened it and was surprised to find a personally written letter from Ms. Fong. It said "don't be afraid of gossip, waves of good reviews, achieve good performance again." He was obviously touched and stressed that he was not displeased over Wong Ka Hei's comments. He would try to improve from elders' review of himself.

Has Lok Yi Ling asked executives not to drink anymore? She nodded and said that quitting drinking. Was Ms. Fong upset at Wong Ka Hei's comment? She said, "Every week we have a meeting. Ms. Fong talked about this with everyone. She wasn't upset, only thought that the matter was severe. Later she took Tsang Chi Wai's call and learned that the matter was not as such." Speaking of Ms. Fong criticizing Chi Wai's Lunar New Year film script as poor, Ms. Lok stressed that Ms. Lok and Chi Wai only met over. Ms. Fong also rarely participated in such matter and only asked Chi Wai to make a happy movie like before. As for the reason for the production delay, Ms. Lok pointed out that originally they wanted to make a story about a tour bus. Due to the Philippines hostage incident they switched to another story with Hong Kong emotions. When Chi Wai was selling the idea, Wong Ka Hei was not present. Ms. Lok also pointed out after the matter, Wong Ka Hei called Chi Wai to apologize. She said that she has known Wong Ka Hei for a long time and he liked to drink beer to relieve stress. Would she supporting Lam Fung? She certainly said, "Sure! Artists must be supported!"

Miriam Yeung Chin Wa and Raymond Lam Fung two nights ago attended the film PERFECT WEDDING (PO PO CHIU GAI YUN) celebration. The film's production supervisor Wong Ka Hei revealed under the influence of alcohol that Eric Tsang Chi Wai who originally was working on I LOVE HONG KONG for Shaw will no longer make this film. He explained that because boss Mona Fong Yat Wa thought the story that only revolved with Hong Kong housing project was truly too limited. Chi Wai conducted an analysis afterward and decided against making it. Wong Ka Hei pointed out that Chi Wai felt if the film was made and became a hit, it was an insult to the boss. If it performed poorly, the entire production team had no value to exist. Thus Chi Wai said that the smartest way was not to make it. Wong Ka Hei said that he has also written a letter to Chi Wai to explain to him that if he gave up the production, everyone would suffer even greater losses. Since the cinemas have already been scheduled, if the film was not made then the investment would be lost. He also pointed out that the boss' words could be treated as encouragement for everyone. Chi Wai responded to him and said that he was very pleased to see the letter. He even joked that he would frame the letter, now Chi Wai has decided to continue to make this film. As for PERFECT WEDDING's decent performance, he was very pleased. He also pointed out that his only failure so far was the earlier THE JADE AND THE PEARL (FEI CHUI MING JU) as he miscalculated Lam Fung's film draw.

The Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Raymond Lam Fung, and Chrissie Chau Sau Na starred new film PERFECT WEDDING (PO PI CHIU GAI YUN) yesterday held a press conference in Guangzhou. Yeung Chin Wa hoped to win Best Actress with this film. Chin Wa said, "I am much older than Lam Fung, when I promote I should have it first. I will see Wai Ying Hung as my target." Later Chin Wa said that an award depended on timing and location. She said that she was confident in the box office, director Barbara Wong Chun Chun even predicted that the Mainland box office will reach 50 million yuan.

Chin Wa was asked about old flame Ronald Cheng Chung Kei. She did not respond and only said that they have not been in contact for a long time. She also joked that she was 30 something and her brain capacity was limited. She said, "I now already have reached a new stage in life, anything I have to forget I have already forgotten."

Will Chin Wa play she and her husband's performance at her concert during her wedding? She said they should perform live then. As for the progress, Chin Wa said, "My husband is responsible for everything. The happiest was the registration moment. The banquet is out of respect for family."

In addition, after Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin and William Chan Wai Ting's relationship was publicized they were called "pointy chin couple", hinting that they had plastic surgery. Lam Fung who earlier was also accused of plastic surgery at the TVB anniversary said, "Ah Sa's face has always been pointy, seemingly nothing is unnatural. She is dating, of course she would look pretty."

Chau Sau Na and Lam Fung in the film had an intimate bed scene. Chau Sau Na joked that after watching it she had difficulty breathing. She said, "I shot that part in front of a mirror, the result was very multidimensional. I savor it a lot." Chau Sau Na was not worried that her boyfriend would be upset and even bought tickets in advance to force him to watch with her. Chau Sau Na also said that one bed scene was enough, she did not need more.

Kate Tsui Tsz Shan did not have a chance to work on a bed scene in the film, she pointed out that she was mentally ready at anytime. She said, "The most important is exercising to stay in shape and the director's request is reasonable."
