Raymond Wong Pak Ming's holiday film ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2010 (JUI KEUNG HEI SI) yesterday held a press conference at the Cyberport. Actors Carina Lau Ka Ling, Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Wang Yuanyuan and the SIMPLE NOODLE STORY Yan Ni attended. Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi was absent due to illness. Ka Ling yesterday said that the production time was too long and even complained that the reason was accommodating Chi Tan's schedule. Chi Tan looked rather awkward on the spot.

Lau Ka Ling said that ALL'S will soon be released thus the shoot schedule was very intense. Two nights ago she and Chi Tan worked for 20 hours. Did she know before hand about the long production time? Chi Tan said that he knew but Ka Ling said she did not. She even joked that Chi Tan knew and did not tell her. Chi Tan joked, "Wong Pak Ming conned you." Ka Ling honestly agreed but this production has been rather pleasant. Because she rarely made movies in Hong Kong she should support Hong Kong film more. If she knew the schedule would be so intense, would she still have taken the role? Ka Ling said that two nights ago she just reflected
that the production could not be like this. Even if she could take it, the result would not be good. Comedy dialogues were funny, if she lacked sleep she would not lack oxygen. Yet she also would like everyone to sense their joy.

Did Chi Tan have too many films so the schedule had to accommodate him? Ka Ling took a jab at him and said, "I think it is, I am not very busy. We must be rushing for his schedule." Would Chi Tan give any nourishment to Ka Ling? Ka Ling instead asked Chi Tan which product was he representing. Later she said that she did not need any nourishment. Chi Tan explained that he did not have too many films with schedule conflicts. This year he made three movies and it was one after another, but not counting the one tomorrow. Ka Ling said, "You have to work tomorrow? I have to make your overtime money." Chi Tan praised Ka Ling and said that he learned acting from Ka Ling. Reportedly Chi Tan asked for Ka Ling for this film, Chi Tan humbly said that he did not dare to name anyone. He only asked. If they were able to land Ka Ling then it would be great because her acting was great, she was fun, pretty and young. Ka Ling asked reporters to remember to write that down and thanked Chi Tan for asking for her and showing her respect.

Later, Ka Ling was asked after working with Chi Tan did she feel Chi Tan was a more handsome Ip Man than her husband Tony Leung Chiu Wai's. She said, "Everyone has a handsome guy in their hearts, both are very strong." Ka Ling also said that this film would be very funny, like Chi Tan would constantly channel Ip Man. She said that he was too in character and still could not leave it. Ka Ling also joked that Chi Tan could make a third film. Speaking of Ka Ling's love Leung Chiu Wai who is working on Ip Man, would it be bad for her to tell Chi Tan to make a third film? Ka Ling said that her lover's was THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI) and asked no one to mix them up. In addition, Wang Yuanyuan reportedly had the chance to work on the film because of her brother in law Yen Chi Tan. Yuanyuan said that was not true. She said that she was very interested in the film. Casting was a decision for the boss and the director. She would rely on her own hard work.

Wong Pak Ming, Yan Ni and Koo Tin Lok yesterday attended the event. Wong Pak Ming said that yesterday morning Pak Chi called and said that she was not feeling well, so she was absent. Wong Pak Ming honestly said that the actor schedules were very hard to deal with. Would Pak Chi's illness affect the production progress? He said that it would not. Goo Jai in the film was paired with many actors and had many scenes with Pak Chi. How did working with Pak Chi feel? He said, "On the first day I saw her, we were working on the poster. Pak Chi said that she was a little nervous but she very quickly got into shape." Did Goo Jai feel Pak Chi's acting was different now that she is a mother? He said, "She would often talk about her sons and said that she would like to stay in Hong Kong more. Earlier when we were shooting downstairs, Pak Chi would play with her son when she had time." Would Goo Jai like to have a child? He said that it was not like he could have one when he wanted one. Recently many people wed, but he had to wait for the arrangements from above in this area and could not rush it.

Goo Jai said that earlier when he saw Lucas he thought he was very mischievous and naughty, but actually he was very obedient to Pak Chi and would not disturb Mama's acting. He would stand aside and played nicely. In addition, Goo Jai said that he heard about a Mainland hospital using his TRIPLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG JI WONG) photo to advertise circumcision for 60 yuan. "It was a flyer, not a publicly displayed ad." Since the matter was related to him and the film company, both sides would follow up. He said that the flyers stopped after a few days of distribution, so he had to get an understanding on how to follow up. He honestly said that the
use was rather wonderful. Goo Jai said that not only him, many artists' image has been pirated. He would try to be careful but hoped that no one would be misled by the ad. Goo jai honestly said that unless it was very severe, sometimes he would not deliberately prosecute.

[2010.09.02] HONG KONG FILM DOES NOT BREAK INTO SUMMER TOP TEN

courtesy of singtao.com


Summer vacation has ended. The Hong Kong Motion Picture Industry Association yesterday announced the box office. 40 films were released during the summer, 3 more than last year. 31 were foreign films and 9 were Chinese films. The total box office was HK$331,199,822, a 28% increase from last year's 258,597,264. Among the top ten highest grossing summer films, only one was a Chinese film -- the Feng Xiaogang directed, still in release AFTER SHOCK. Its cumulative box office was 15,116,901. The rest were all foreign films. Curiously four out of the top ten were 3D productions, including TOY STORY 3, SHREK FOREVER AFTER, fourth plaice STEP UP 3D with 17.28 million and ninth place DESPICABLE ME that exceeded 10 million. Obviously 3D has already gradually become the film production trend that was popular with the audience.

Still in release, the 3D animation TOY STORY 3 bested many big cast, big production Chinese and foreign films and topped the box office with 88,174,084. It had a chance to be the year's champion. The Leonardo DiCaprio starred INCEPTION made 54,131,337 in second. In third was the animation SHREK FOREVER AFTER. Hong Kong films lost some of their luster in the summer, without one that exceeded 10 million at the box office. The best performers were LA COMEDIE HUMAINE (YUN GAN HEI KET) and TRIPLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG JI WONG). The former box office was 7,292,519 and the latter was 7,150,086. The just released STOOL PIGEON (SIN YUN) made 5,979,453 over six days, an average daily box office of 1 million. The
momentum has been decent.

[2010.07.23] LOUIS KOO GETS NERVOUS FROM DRINKING

courtesy of takungpao.com


Louis Koo Tin Lok yesterday attended a whisky promotional event. Goo Jai has already started to learn to drink beer when he went to banquets with his parents. As an adult he gradually learned to drink hard liquor but rarely at work. He remembered when he first got into the
business an elder taught him to drink a small amount of hard liquor to relax, but he got more nervous instead. Thus this idea did not work for him. Goo Jai also felt lucky that after drinking he would only fall asleep and rarely embarrassed himself.

Goo Jai's film TRIPLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG JI WONG) has made over 100 million in the Mainland box office. He promised to celebrate with the team. Will he ask for a raise? He said that would depend on the film budget and the role. He has offered to reduce his film salary for non starring roles.

[2010.07.21] DEREK YEE CALLS LOUIS KOO BORING

courtesy of singtao.com


Derek Yee Tung Sing after PROTEGE (MOON TOH) and OVERHEARD (SIT TING FUNG WON) again worked with Louis Koo Tin Lok and Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) in TRIPLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG JI WONG). Siu Bo said that their repeated collaborations was not because they were his favorites as rumored, but completely because they were not troublesome! "We have been working together, we have chemistry. Without having to say so much, some actors and managers in this industry are truly very troublesome!" Siu Bo this time landed Li Bingbing to play Goo Jai's superior and Charlene Choi Chuek Yin to play Goo Jai's nurse girlfriend, but either had too many scenes and seemed underutilized. He responded, "I am not making a
romance!" Siu Bo also revealed that actually he and Goo Jai have known each other for a long time. He said that Goo Jai was single and warmed up slowly, since Li Bingbing did not have a boyfriend he wanted to play "matchmaker". Unfortunately nothing came of it. "I told Bingbing, she and Goo Jai matched pretty well. Bingbing said Goo Jai didn't talk, so I told her to take the initiative and caht with Goo Jai. In one scene, I deliberately arranged for them to be the only people in the car. Through the receiver I thought I would listen to what they were chatting about. I didn't expect Goo Jai to actually be so dull, even I didn't want to hear him talk. Haha!"

The film after less than three weeks in Mainland release has passed 100 million at the box office to become the first Chinese film to hit the mark this summer. Due to its success, director Yee Tung Sing officially became a member of the "100 Million Yuan Director Club". Even famous director Feng Xiaogang expressed, "TRIPLE TAP absolutely is the summer's trail blazer for Chinese films!"

Many viewers after watching the film left messages on microblogs or message boards to praise Koo Tin Lok's outstanding performance and the film was absolutely his representative work. Koo Tin Lok excitedly stated, "I have played many different characters. This time I had to have very good balance between good and evil, which indeed is very difficult. This time I finally have a good answer for the director and film viewers!"

Another lead Ng Yin Cho was so exhausted from the promotion that both his eyes had burst capillaries. The success of the film was worth all the hardship. Yee Tung Sing said, "The box office is the distributors to be concerned with, participation and production to me is even more
important. The film's good performance showed me the Mainland viewers' generosity. Overall, I am somewhat surprised. Here I not only have to thank every actor for their exciting performance and the investors for their support, but also the audience for its support."

Emperor Motion Pictures chief Albert Lee (Lei Nga Bok) expressed, "with the World Cup and many foreign blockbuster releases, TRIPLE indeed was taking a risk but everyone was full of confidence in the film. The director made a good movie and with coordination from the actors, the 100 million box office absolutely deserve a congratulation."

Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) two nights ago attended the Terence Yin (Wan Chi Wai)'s concert and celebrated Wan Chi Wai's birthday. As close as brothers, Ng Yin Cho was busy shooting a movie inside. He expressed that he would make a music video of this concert for Wan Chi Wai's birthday gift.

Ng Yin Cho revealed that currently he is busy with the preparation of the Derek Yee Tung Sing directed TRIPLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG JI WONG), which will start production in August. Since he will play a sniper in the film, he will have shooting and physical training. Ng Yin Cho said, "I have to train hard. Everyday I have to have 6 meals to get bigger. Since I am not young anymore, to look more muscular the training is not as easy as when I was twenty something. I will have to exercise a lot." As for his abdominal muscles, he said, "I have them but I haven't reached my goal yet."

Ng Yin Cho said that he had to gain weight because earlier he lost15 pounds for a role. Now he had to gain 18 pounds, which was his former weight. He expressed that losing weight with exercise was very healthy. Currently he would train with weights and boxing.
