Miriam Yeung bares her back to tempt Shawn Yue

LOVE IN THE BUFF (CHUN GIU YU JI MING) at the end of March will be released. Both leads Shawn Yue Man Lok and Miriam Yeung Chin Wa looked forward to it very much. The pregnant Yeung Chin Wa stated that on March 21 she definitely will "apply" to participate in the premiere with her husband.

Chin Wa in the film wore a revealing black dress, which Lok Jai joked that he would never imagine Chin Wa would wear. In this scene Chin Wa met with her old flame Lok Jai. He guessed that she would wear a low cut dress but it was a back baring dress that attracted his eyeballs. This dress was Chin Wa's own. She said that the team arranged many for her to try but she thought that Chun Giu wanted more, as she should be sexy yet not too deliberate. She said, "I don't want to bare my chest since there isn't much to see. So I brought my own dress. Lok Jai's reaction proved that my decision was right!"

During the shoot they were very focused, except the Spanish dishes on the table distracted him. Chin Wa and Lok Jai could not help themselves as they sat down and ate whenever the shoot stopped. The team had to keep ordering to fill in the food that constantly disappeared in extreme speed. In addition, when they shot in Beijing in one scene Chi Ming went out late with his co-workers; that day the director arranged for 200 extras, most of them were present because they liked director Pang Ho Cheung and knew that Yue Man Lok would be there when they automatically applied. They were very focused during the shoot. Instead Lok Jai who felt that he was no longer young was numb to going out at night.

As for Chin Wa who did not go out at night still had fun because she could work while applying a facial mask. In one scene Chin Wa and her friends chatted while they applied facial masks and ate.

Raymond Wong has a reason to support Tang

Raymond Wong Pak Ming and Teddy Robin Kwan yesterday attended Hong Kong Film New Action event. As one of the show business commission member Wong Pak Ming was asked about Chief Executive candidate Henry Tang Ying-Yen's recent troubles. He said that before that he already nominated him. He thought that everyone had advantages and flaws, no one was perfect. He thought he had more advantages than flaws.

Wong Pak Ming admitted that now he still leans toward supporting Tang Ying-Yen because among the candidates he was more supportive of show business. Earlier when the government supported the 300 million film development fund, they met at Mr. Tang's home. Has other candidates campaigned with him? Wong Pak Ming admitted that no one contacted him and he would not contact them. His decision would be primary.

Teddy Robin said that he did not know how to discuss politics or religion. He was not in the commission so he did not want to say much. Earlier he won a Best Actor award in Australia with MERRY GO ROUND (DUNG FUNG POR), Teddy Robin said that now he has more choices. However he would not randomly make movies. Now he mainly is a producer as he has three scripts in preparation.

No one dares to be near Nick Cheung in character

Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Kay Tse On Kay promoted the film NIGHTFALL (DAI JUI BO). Speaking of this performance, Ka Fai's sacrifice was the greatest.

Before the shoot Ka Fai spent a half a year on a hellish weight loss training. At its peak he was only a little over 110 pounds and his waist was 22 inches. He remembered that he has not been this thin since he was 15 and admitted that he thought about quitting during the training, but his wife encouraged him. "Either you don't play, if you do you have to play all out!" Ka Fai after hearing what his wife said agreed wholeheartedly.

Ka Fai in order to perform well in this film turned down other jobs. He thought that this film was the most extravagant because in general only Hollywood productions would spent half a year to prepare, but he in turned suffered a lot of losses. He said, "I turned down 200 to 300 million in film salary, haha!"

This time Ka Fai's character was very dark. In order to get into character, during the breaks on the set he would only sit quietly. Others seemed to be afraid of him. In addition he played a criminal, generally he would not join the actors who played the police and felt very lonely. Did he have any difficulty leaving the character? Ka Fai said no, since he has been acting for several decades.

Kay in the film play a cop. In one scene Ka Fai put a plastic bag over her head and almost suffocated her. She personally performed that scene. Yet for different angles, Kay performed over 20 times and Ka Fai felt very sorry.

Kay even injured her arms on the glass on the ground. After she got her her son saw all the blood on her and was very scared. She could only think of an excuse to fool her son to keep him from worrying. Ka Fai also pointed out that when his daughter saw his poster she asked him why he had to hold a gun.

Chau Sau Na said that working with Fan Yat Sun and other actors was pleasant. On the set they often had a lot of fun, of course sparks were inevitable.

In the film Fan Yat Sun and Chau Sau Na had a bathtub scene that originally could be very hot, but they were "out of juice" because the murder scene was very terrifying. During that scene, everyone already worked all night and it was the last scene before the wrap. At the time everyone was out of juice and even took the chance to lie in the tub and rest for awhile. Since his comeback with the film CAPE NO. 7, Fan Yat Sun admitted that she would like to make films of different genres as his CAPE NO. 7 character was still a singer. he would like the most to write, direct and star i a humorous hero comedy. This time Fan Yat Sun was a comic book writer who created his own comic book characters, which he played to entertain himself.

“War and Beauty 2” Costume Fitting

Sheren Tang (???), Ada Choi (???), Moses Chan (??), Christine Ng (???), Alice Chan (??), Kenny Wong (???), and Vin Choi (???) attended the costume fitting of TVB heavyweight drama, War and Beauty 2 "????2". At an earlier TVB sales presentation, a video clip of War and Beauty 2 featured a kissing scene between Sheren Tang and Ada Choi. Shortly after, Sheren professed that due to her Christian faith, she was unable to accept a script focusing on same-sex relationships, a comment which sparked angry criticism that Sheren was a hypocrite from the online community! Asked by the press whether she will resist filming lesbian topics, Sheren impatiently told the reporters not to ask such questions. Also a Christian, Ada generously stated that if such scenes would add to the full-fleshed development of the character, she was able to accept the arrangement.

In War and Beauty 2, Sheren will resume her popular role of “Yu Fei” from the first installment. Asked whether the lesbian scenes have been removed from War and Beauty 2 due to Sheren’s rejection of such topics, Sheren responded impatiently, “Please do not ask such questions! It appears that such scenes have been removed from the script. Without such scenes, you still persist in asking! Actors are quite passive. These questions should be addressed to the producer and creative development staff!”

Ada Choi Unafraid of Ghost Topics

On the other hand, Ada responded calmly, “Actors are faithful to the script. Right now, I am uncertain about the details, as we only find out about the script details last minute.” (Will you resist [lesbian] scenes]?) “Actors are actors; the television broadcasting standards will be restrictive anyway. The most important thing is the topic. As long as it passes my personal standard and is moral, then it is okay.” Ada appreciated the Christian decision and admitted that she had responsibility as an actress. She will not act in ghost movies, while acknowledging that she has portrayed a lesbian character in the past.

In War and Beauty 2, Ada Choi and Tracy Ip (???) will portray nannies in the palace. Ada laughed and said she will not need to do any milk feedings in the drama. Producer Jonathan Chik (???) denied that Sheren had changed the script, stating, “It is not related, but the handling of the [lesbian] topic is very difficult.” (Is there an artist who is refusing to film such scenes?) “No.”

Cast to Film in Beijing in June 2012

In War and Beauty 2, Moses Chan will portray an opera singer. At the costume fitting yesterday, Moses sang a few lines of Chinese opera. Asked whether he sang opera to his girlfriend, Aimee Chan (???), Moses said with a smile, “You are the first ones to hear me sing opera!”

Cast member, Vin Choi responded to the media’s concern regarding his father’s earlier head-bashing incident. Vin indicated that the police investigation was ongoing. Since a portion of his father’s brain was injured, his father suffered memory loss. However, Mr. Choi’s recovery was better than expected.

It was rumored earlier that War and Beauty 2 will be Producer Chik and scriptwriter, Zhou Xuming’s (???) last collaboration together at TVB. Allegedly, the pair planned to leave TVB after completing the drama. At the costume fitting, the pair denied the allegations that War and Beauty 2 will be their last collaboration together. Producer Chik indicated that the cast and crew will shoot on location in Beijing in June.

Did Ah Lok chase girls normally? He joked, "At my age I can't move, I can't go to Central, not to mention four places in one night. It's not good getting called Uncle when I get there."

[News] YG, “I don’t have the courage to make another group like Big Bang anymore.”





YG Entertainment’s CEO, Yang Hyun Suk (43), has revealed, “I don’t have the strength or courage to create a group like Big Bang anymore.”



When CEO Yang recently held an interview at the Seoul Mapo-Gu YG Building, he stated, “Although I will be producing more groups in the future, I don’t think I will ever be able to find new group members that could harmonize with each other as well as Big Bang does. All of them match up to each other perfectly like a man and woman would do when they are in love.”



According to his explanation, Big Bang may not be the best looking and may not be the best dancers out there, but each member holds a distinct individuality as a weapon that allows them to perform freely, which is the main reason why they receive so much love from their fans in and out of our country.



“Usually in both Korea and Japan, group dancing (synchronized dancing) is the most popular characteristic people look for in groups. However, Big Bang shows a lot of free moves and dances within their performances. That is why I think they receive a lot more response from different countries outside of Korea and Japan.”



Considering these factors, Big Bang’s new mini-album ‘ALIVE’ holds many different genres of music to appeal to fans outside of Korea as well.





CEO Yang also stated that, “Aiming to make a musical change and living up to the focal point, this is an album with comprehensive genres” and that “in order to let each of these songs shine it’s own special light, we have decided to make all six songs the title song.”



Currently, to let the world know of these songs, Big Bang has been undergoing multi-directional promotions.



On the past 22nd, one of their songs titled “BLUE” was the first to be released and has taken over the #1 spot on all music charts and the rest of the song’s teasers have been planned to be revealed through TV advertisements starting on the 24th.



The order of these releases are as follows: 24th ‘Love Dust’, 25th ‘Bad Boy’, 26th ‘Ain’t No Fun’, 27th ‘Fantastic Baby’, and the 28th ‘Wings’.



CEO Yang elaborated, “Having all the songs from the album be title songs might be, needless to say, the first to set precedent within the country” and that, “Choosing only one song to perform on music show programs to win the #1 spot is meaningless now, in my opinion. What’s more important is that we need to let everyone know of this brand called Big Bang and let everyone know of every song on their album.”






Big Bang’s new mini-album will be released on the 29th, as well as the group’s comeback concert (on March 2-4) at the Olympic Sports Stadium.

Tavia Yeung steals a touch on Him Law's built body

Tavia Yeung, Him Law, Kenneth Ma and Mandy Wong attended TVB series The Hippocratic Crush promotional event yesterday. It was announced at the event that last week the series averaged at 30 points and peaked at 33 points.

When Him mentioned the diving scene that broadcast last night, where he only appeared on-screen with swim trunks, Him felt his body figure was much more fit than now. Him said: "I think it's pretty good. (Did Tavia praise your body figure?) Yes, but she didn't touch." Tavia also greatly praised Him's sexy body figure and exposed that day when they were shooting the swim trunk scene, she couldn't help but: "touch him for behind." Asked if she thinks Him's amazing? She said: "It's good for men to have a built figure!"

However, Him will soon give up his built figure and switch to a slender figure to accommodate for his new series. Him frankly said he loves the built figure because he'll look better in his clothing.

When Tavia learned Him will be losing the muscles for his new series, she said: "Most important is to be healthy! At my age, I won't try to change my body figure for a series because I fear gaining weight just to shoot a series will affect my health. Also, Myolie Wu gained a lot of weight to shoot a series before, she's already a representative, so I don't have to go purposely do it."

As for Kenneth Ma, earlier he exposed his previous relationship with Nancy Wu. Nancy was displeased by the exposure and blamed him for trying to get publicity. Kenneth explained: "She probably said it in a joking way. (Did you ask her prior to exposing?) Yes, because the public said she's greedy for fortunes and has 'princess illness', so I wanted to help her clarify. Also, we are still friends now. (What is the reason to the break up?) I already explained, not going to talk about it anymore! I don't want to her to say I'm trying to get publicity again."

In 2006, she was offered the lead actress role in Safe Guards co-starring Steven Ma. It was then when people started noticing her. Last year she participated in the average-rated series Bottled Passion, and got favorable criticism: "There were many people around me that told me I did very well. The series had a lot of sentimental scenes that had to be expressed from within the heart. The script was written very well, so I was able to easily get into character." In the series, she sacrificed everything because she loved Raymond Wong's role. As a Scorpio, Elaine is the same in real life, she is willing to sacrifice everything for love: "Sometimes acting is similar to life. Life is an experience. I've been emotionally hurt before too, so when there are areas of similarities in the role, it would be easier for me to act it out. Some of the dialogue, I was able to easily grasp the feeling." Elaine disclosed over a year ago, she went through a very profound relationship, but there was nothing that could be done to move forward, so it ended in a break up. Later, she couldn't focus on work, but after getting through that stage, she felt she was really stupid. Looking back, she feels the most important is her own feelings.

"Jump Off A Building" A Breakthrough

Elaine is naturally born with baby face, until today she still plays a lot of pitiful young girl roles, but didn't know she could be so bad! This year in the new series Policewoman's Love Battlefield, she plays a foolish woman: "Perhaps I look pitiful. Before, I always get those roles that gets bullied, but this time it's a breakthrough. They told me I had to be a crazy woman, it's quite challenging actually because there is no definition of crazy, it is boundless!" Elaine's role is a tragic character, she will be putting things on fire, playing with rats, jumping from buildings, burning cars... her personality is extreme. The disorder brings out the problems in society, she smiled and said her costume really stands out and it cannot be tied to the word "beauty" at all. However, the most challenging is that she had to play with rats: "I'm really afraid of rats! When I was shooting the scene, I had to hold the rat too! I was still really frightened after shooting that scene."

Take it seriously, no more 'playing'

In a blink of an eye, Elaine had filmed 20+ series over the 10 years she's been in the industry. She slowly turned her interest in acting into a career. From the beginning when she thought of acting was just for fun, but now she will put efforts into studying her roles and learn by interactions. She will no longer use the attitude of "play" to go handle acting. Instead, she replaces the playful attitude with a professional one. She takes it in the form of a serious pondering style: "In the past, I never thought that much when I'm acting. I just thought it was really fun, but now I have another type of experience, I want to really put my heart into shooting each and every series, shoot a good series and really do well on the role. It's a great sense of achievement, makes me very happy and I can get more into my work!" Earlier she collaborated with TV King Wayne Lai in new series The King Makers, she was very grateful of his advice: "He taught me what acting is, and even talked a little bit about his life experiences. Acting is not about following some method because then it won't have substance. I had a lot of scenes opposite of Wayne, he helped me analyze, like for example there was one scene where I had to be able express the emotions with rhythm, can really push up the feelings!"

The wave behind pushes the wave ahead. The rising 'little FaDan', Mandy Wong is a good example as she recently gained popularity after her role as Kwan Yee So in L'Escargot. Elaine believed that everything is about the right timing: "For example, the broadcast periods of the two series and L'Escargot initially was a more superior series. Some things, you have to slowly save up. I really want to be like Mandy Wong too, having a role that helps me gain popularity, but if it's not yours, then there is no way you can force it!" At the moment, Elaine's favorite performance is the one in Bottled Passion. The happiest is that her family supports her by tuning in every night, and that is a great source of encouragement for her.

Epilogue: Want to borrow sperm to have children

Elaine has been others' bridesmaid so much that she's getting numb. She hopes to be married by age 35, and more importantly is to hurry and have children: "If when the time comes, I don't have a partner, perhaps I could just go find a handsome guy and borrow his sperm to have a child. Well I have to see if I have that capability at that time, and if there is time for me to look after the child. Can really give it a try!"

Ella Koon encounters a criminal in series, but a real police officer comes to her rescue

Recently Ella Koon has been busy shooting for TVB new series Dangerous Drug Raid with Raymond Lam, Kate Tsui and Michael Miu. Yesterday she attended an online charity auction event and exposed a few days ago she was shooting a police chase scene at To Kwa Wan Market. Ella plays an anti-drug police officer and perhaps it was because the scene was too realistic, but an actual off-duty police officer, who witnessed the scene, misunderstood that Ella actually encountered a 'criminal'. He righteously went to chase after the 'criminal' for her. Ella said: "A man helped me chase after the Pork Man (the 'criminal' in the series), the man grabbed him and even gave him a little punch. Then he fiercely asked the actor what he was doing. It really felt like a hero saving the beauty. (Then did the actor that got punched have any injuries?) No, the Officer didn't hit him that hard. He just grabbed him really tightly."

Ella believed that Officer was off-duty because she saw him purchasing roasted foods, but when the officer learned she was only shooting a scene for a new series, he quickly got in the car and vanished. That Officer was quite fierce? Ella defended him, she said the camera man and the staff were pretty far from her and she was under cover, so won't be that easy for passer-byers to notice. She also felt the Officer was very righteous and he is the pride of Hong Kong. "There was a little girl in Mainland that got rolled over by a car and no one cared, but in HK we have such righteous people. (Did you want to praise him?) He left so fast, I didn't even get a clear look of his face. Initially I wanted to tell him the people of Hong Kong relies on him."

When asked if shooting TVB series is too difficult that she lost weight? Instead, Ella said she deliberately gained weight since the director said she was too thin and doesn't appear cute enough on-screen. So, she ate a few bags of potato chips and other snacks without any restraint. Also, to portray her anti-drug police officer role, she especially dyed her reddish-brownish hair back to black. She claimed: "I recently have been looking quite pure."

Mr. and Mrs. Donnie Yen Chi Tan two nights ago attended a cancer fund charity event. Currently working on a film in Shenzhen, Chi Tan deliberately returned to Hong Kong to attend with his wife Cissy Wang, but he looked scruffier and darker. He admitted that he recently has been working on a modern police film and slept for only two hours daily. Cissy revealed that Chi Tan's look scared their son so much that he did not dare to go near him, he even kept calling him "bad man". Luckily their daughter knew he was just making a movie. Cissy also revealed that recently she showed their son IP MAN, and their son said that he was "proud of Daddy". Did their son learn Wing Chun from Chi Tan in the film? Chi Tan said that he did not have to because his son already has his own fighting style. He also praised that his son had a knack for martial arts, but because he did not have time to instruct him Cissy has already enrolled their son in kung fu classes.
