Movie Box Review

Yukiko Suo yesterday came from Japan for a six day 3D SEX AND ZEN: EXTREME ECSTASY (3D YUK PO TUEN ji GIK LOK BO GAM) promotion. Although she came from Japan, she was not asked to undergo radiation detection. Instead earlier when she promoted in Taiwan she had to. Speaking of her co-star and fellow adult video actress Saori Hara's sudden contract termination with her management company and retirement from show business after the physical and emotion breakdown due to the Japan Earthquake, Yukiko Suo said with surprise, "I don't know, it's very sudden. (Would you contact her for an understanding?) I recently sent her an email, but I couldn't find her. I am very worried too. Last time when we came to Hong Kong she and I became good friends and even returned to Japan together for the New Year. She is someone who keeps her unhappiness to herself. I am really worried." She said that the Japan earthquake also affected her mood, but she did not have any thought of retirement. Instead she would like to help people in need with her fame. Has she been upset after making the film? She said, "Of course not, this

production was very pleasant. I still haven't seen it after the wrap and I am looking forward to it too."

3D SEX AND ZEN: EXTREME ECSTASY (3D YUK PO TUEN ji GIK LOK BO GAM) Mainland actress Leni Lan Yan reportedly was upset that the promotion was focused on Vonnie Lui Hoi Yan and vanished, on the 30th even suicide rumors surfaced. Her manager kept saying that she could not find Lan Yan. Yesterday, Lan Yan finally "appeared" and through email apologized to the film company. She said that she did not vanish on purpose. Two years ago a fortune teller in Hong Kong told her to practice Buddhism quietly at a temple her luck would change. Thus on the 18th she went to a temple in Chongqing to study the scripture and be on a vegetarian diet. On the 6th she returned home to Shanghai. Because she did not bring any communication device, her manager and her family could not contact her. Lan Yan arrived in Hong Kong at night and would attend the press conference today.

Vonnie Lui Hoi Yan yesterday attended 3D SEX AND ZEN: EXTREME ECSTASY (3D YUK PO TUEN ji GIK LOK BO GAM) film press conference. She explained that because she was standing on the stage, due to line of vision issues everyone thought that she was not dressed sexy enough. Actually she secretly had no undergarment, luckily her full figure held up her dress and she did not have to worried about wardrobe malfunction. In the film she was a sex expert, in real life she said, "Basically I can meet my boyfriend's needs. Many couples would study adult video maneuvers, I too would watch adult videos to learn. I have seen Saori Hara and Yukiko Suo's work. I feel Saori Hara's eyes are very attractive. As a woman even I am attracted to her. In comparison to them I am a rookie."

Vonnie Lui Hoi Yun and Stephen Shiu Ting Yat yesterday attended an ATV program taping. After learning about Japan's 8.9 earthquake and the severe destruction that it caused, Shiu Ting Yat was very worried about the safety of his new film 3D SEX AND ZEN: EXTREME ECSTASY (3D YUK PO TUEN)'s Japanese actress Saori Hara. The other actress Yukiko Suo was in Shanghai. He said that originally he arranged for the cast to promote for a dozen days or so in Taiwan at the end of the month and in Hong Kong from April 7 to 12, now he did not know whether anything has changed. Shiu Ting Yat also said that after the Hong Kong Entertainment Expo the film will negotiate its Japanese sales. Now he was worried if due to the earthquake he would need more time, ultimately Japan was a very primary overseas market. Because he had many friends in Tokyo, many local film companies have made contact. In addition actor Hiro Hayama's entire family was in Tokyo and currently they were intensifying their communication.

Lui Hoi Yan also worried about her Japanese co-stars' conditions, but she immediately changed the subject to herself and the film. "It was like the end of the world. Time passes terrifyingly quick. Last year we just said the film was completed and would be released in half a year. In the brink of an eye it would be released next month!" Although the film has not yet been released, she was already so busy that she could not stop at all, due to the enormous stress she suffered insomnia. However she was not unhappy. With more work her income naturally increased. Even if she felt like the world would soon end, she would not squander her money. For her family's living situation she has been working hard to save money for a place. She wanted an unit that was large enough for her family of five and two dogs. She even saved the HK$6,000 from the Hong Kong government as she hoped to be able to fulfill the home ownership dream within the year.

She expected viewers would ask about the film and sex at yesterday's taping. She would raise her bottom line for the audience to discuss appropriate sex knowledge. She would even share her own experience but would not make any gesture. However the station was not an adult station, she had to keep underage viewers in mind.

Japanese adult video actress Saori Hara and Reiko Suho, young model forerunner Vonnie Lui Hoi Yan, Taiwan actress Irene Chen Chue-Ping, Mainland actor Leni Lan Yin and Hiro Hayama (Yip San Ho) yesterday attended a 3D SEX AND ZEN (3D YUK PO TUEN ji GIK LOK BO GAM) press conference. Lui Hoi Yan stole the show from the two adult video actresses and other co-stars.

Despite being adult video actresses, Saori Hara and Yukiko Suo were kept under wraps. Perhaps as they said they were very shy normally. During the performance they would give their all.

When asked about co-star Lui Hoi Yan's figure, they both praised her figure as good and very cute. In the first Hong Kong costume film they said that their costumes were very pretty, like making adult video movies they had no stress. They worked at ease and were the most

concerned about the language barrier. How sexy and passionate would they be in the film? They said that it will be very passionate.

Did Lui Hoi Yan feel like she won for Hong Kong? She said, "Earlier in Taiwan I already won for Hong Kong and was chosen as the Hong Kong bust goddess." To prepare for this film, she did a lot of body treatment and exercised like crazy in order to firm up every inch of her skin. She revealed that she would have a naked bed scene with Yip San Ho. As for full nudity she would have to see the shape she would be in. If she would be in good condition she would not eliminate the possibility.
