Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung Ka Fai vie for attention

The film COLD WAR (HONG JIN) will be released on October 18. The poster that featured hunks like Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Andy Lau Tak Wa, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Eddie Peng Yu-Yen, and Aarif Rahman (Lee Chi Ting) was first unveiled. The story was a complicated struggle between high ranking police officers. Director Longman Leung Lok man and Sunny Luk Kim Ching spent five years to prepare for this film and collected a lot of research material like police internal regulation and hidden rules. The high rank internal conflict would also be realistically brought to life.

Leung Ka Fai appreciated this film's Hong Kong film style, a genre that has been missed. Lau Tak Wa guest starred and said that the script attracted him. Battle of wit police stories have been infrequent in recent years. Thus he looked forward to this film to start a new trend again.

Pang Ho Cheung does not brag about victory over Tony Leung Chiu Wai

The Chapman To Man Jat, DaDa Chen Jing starred new film VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET) after 3 days in release made HK$4.91 million. Released on the same day, THE SILENT WAR (TING FUNG JEH)'s Mainland box office after a week was 130 million RMB and HK$1.8 million locally. It was no match for VULGARIA. Speaking of defeating Best Actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai, VULGARIA director Pang Ho Cheung yesterday said at an audience appreciation event that he would like the original cast to work on GUOON YUN FONG TAI (HUSBAND ALL YOU CAN EAT). Would the female lead be Chen Jing or Susan Shaw Yam Yam? Director Pang said, "They two can become one! (You beat Wai Jai at the box office!) It's not who beat who, the most important is the entire market is good. (Would you publish a novel version?) No! It was a film company request earlier."

To Man Jat said that the two films have different styles and even said, "My achievement of a lifetime can't surpass Wai Jai's. They are a Mainland hit, we cater to Hong Kong taste. (Would you make more Hong Kong movies?) I would, someone invested a pile of money for purely locally created films. The budget will be 30 million for 5 movies."

Tony Leung Chiu Wai puts his Awards all over the place

Tony Leung Chiu Wai yesterday with Zhou Xun, directors Felix Chong Man Keung and Alan Mak Siu Fai attended the film THE SILENT WAR (TING FUNG JEH) press conference. Mak Siu Fai revealed that Wai Jai placed his Hong Kong Film Awards and Golden Horse Awards randomly. Even his Cannes Best Actor certificate was placed on the floor. Wai Jai was not mad that his secret was revealed, and explained that he did not display the awards neatly together because he did not want to be so blatant. Although he was at home he still was better off being a little more low key. This way each time he made a movie he would feel it would be a new job. He also did not feel that putting the international Cannes Best Actor certificate on the floor was disrespectful. "I put oil paintings on the floor too, respect is in the heart!"

Wai Jai after years of making movies did not mind any genre, the only one that he would not make was ghost film. Because when he was little, his family rather enjoyed telling ghost stories. His aunt also liked to take him to see ghost films, so he was very afraid of the dark and ghosts. "For me making a ghost movie is torture. It's like telling me to go on amusement park rides; you might as well tell me to die."

Wai Jai was in much better shape. Actually because he had additional shoots for the December release THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI), he only ate oat meals and buckwheat noodles. In the scorching summer heat, he had to put on heavy clothing for 20 degrees below zero Celsius to perform. Very quickly he lost 9 pounds. He revealed that GRAND will shoot until October. For his earlier wedding anniversary he did not return to Hong Kong and celebrate with his wife Carina Lau Ka Ling. "Thus earlier on my birthday we celebrated that too."

Earlier when the film PAINTED SKIN: RESURRECTION (WAT PEI II) was released Zhou Xun did not any promotion. Was she at odds with Vicki Zhao and avoiding direct confrontation with her? Promotional company personnel protected Zhou Xun with the question not being related to SILENT, but Zhou Xun graciously said that it was not a problem for her to answer. Zhou Xun said, "No, we were not at odds. Since the film started production we were speculated to be at odds. As soon as we appeared the talks were endless. Throughout all the endless questions nothing happened." Yet they have not tried shared the stage to promote PAINTED SKIN: RESURRECTION. Zhou Xun explained that because Zhao Wei had to direct her own movie and she did not expect how strong the PAINTED SKIN RESURRECTION box office would be, so she did not know about the celebration as she was resting. Zhou Xun also admitted that earlier she won a lawsuit and donated the compensation to the United Nations for charity short film production.

Tony Leung Chiu Wai starts work Ailing

Tony Leung Chiu Wai in the film THE SILENT WAR (TING FUNG JEH) played a blind piano tuner with exceptional hearing; by chance he runs into the Zhou Xun played 701 Operation Office member who leads him to become an important member. Wai Jai in the film has to give up his pair of mesmerizing eyes, which are covered up with sunglasses and bandages. He said, "Without exchanging looks, this character is very hard to play; with the depiction of my insight about my surrounding environment with exceptional hearing, early in the shoot I need some time to grasp the character."

THE SILENT WAR is the second collaboration between Wai Jai and Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun said that this time they could not act with their eyes, which was somewhat difficult; yet they had more lighter and more humorous spots and she and Wai Jai got along very well.

The film shot on location in Shanghai. Wai Jai at first had to acclimatize and was often nauseous on the set. He did not want to affect the shoot and worked while he was ailing. Directors Alan Mak Siu Fai and Felix Chong Man Keung praised his professionalism and Zhou Xun for her much improved acting.

Tony Leung Chiu Wai runs from tourists

Tony Leung Chiu Wai promoted his film THE SILENT WAR (TING FUNG JEH) in Shanghai. His wife Carina Lau Ka Ling earlier reportedly took a private jet back from Shanghai with Mainland tycoon Jing Baifu. Wai Jai was reluctant to talk about his wife, was he upset about the incident? Wai Jai awkwardly said, "Why would I be upset?" Did his wife Ka Ling visit him while he worked in Shanghai? He joked, "Why would she need to visit?"

THE SILENT WAR was shot in Shanghai. Wai Jai said that normally he had a habit of running in Hong Kong. Thus when he had time he would run in Shanghai, but every time he had to be very early. Once he was running a tour group recognized him and someone screamed his name; to avoid causing trouble he could only ignore it and kept running. Later he ran with a cap to avoid being recognized. This time he attended the Shanghai Film Festival he still would run. Used to early to bed and early to rise, he liked to exercise even more as he felt more energetic at work.

In THE SILENT WAR Wia Jai played a blind hood, his fourth blind character. He agreed to the role because Felix Chong Man Keung and Alan Mak Siu Fai were good friends, but he has never worked on a movie that they directed together; he also admired Zhou Xun very much. Although he had experience with playing blind, the difficulty was increased this time with a special made contact lens. Since he would not express himself with his eyes he had to add a lot of body language.

Nancy Wu & Oscar Leung desperate to make money in Mainland

Nancy Wu, Oscar Leung and Vincent Wong were shooting for TVB new series Seasons of Love in Causeway Bay. Before shooting began, Nancy and Oscar sat under the tree to cool off. Oscar had on a white tank top, showing off his biceps and pretending to be a built guy.

In the series, Nancy is Vincent's wife and spots him with another woman on the streets. On the other hand, Oscar is also Nancy's husband, which makes the relationships a little complicated. It turns out the characters in the series can choose their own destiny and therefore develop different stories. In the series they can choose their husbands and wives, but in real life they hope to be able to choose to make money in Mainland. It's rumored that HK artists can get paid as high as 200k RMB for shooting Mainland dramas. Nancy said of course she hopes to make 200k too, but she will just leave it to her company to make the arrangements. Oscar laughed: "Even if it's just 50K, I want to do it."

Toby Leung & Janet Chow designs their own bra collection "Romance by JT" for Bubies Lingerie

Recently, Janet Chow married Timmy Hung, becoming a wife like good friend Toby Leung. Although they each have their other halves, they are still close friends that can talk about anything. So close, they can even talk about tips on wearing lingerie. It turns out, when the two were young, they both experienced buying the wrong bra. Lately, they had the opportunity to meet the lingerie brand Bubies' creative director Nick Chau and clicked well with him as soon as the lingerie discussion started. Toby and Janet had the honor to design their very own lingerie collection called Romance by JT.

Janet and Toby came up with the concept of their bra designs by searching among the Hong Kong ladies for the 'world's best bra'. The styles include bras especially used for evening and wedding dresses. Toby said: "In fact, many people in their early 20s are still choosing the wrong bras. I hope to help them find the right bra." Janet said: "A good bra is hard to find, one that is fitting and comfortable cannot easily be found. I will design a good bra based on my own personal experiences."

Together, Janet and Toby had very good teamwork skills, and would each wear their own designed bras for the other to 'enjoy'. They mutually judged and gave advice on how to improve their products. Janet expressed: "Design can be imaginative, but the most important is how it feels when wearing it. We would wear the bras ourselves for the other to look at, and get opinions."

Collaborating in designing the bras, usually the two would exchange styles and ideas. When asked if there were any arguments between them? Toby expressed: "Nope, although we do have different views, but we really are too familiar and can just speak our minds. We can talk about anything, so we never had any arguments. I thought I was a very laid back person, but Janet is even more laid back than I am, so sometimes I have to play the bad guy." Janet said: "I have to learn how to say No too."

Veteran Lily Leung tells story of losing loved ones - husband and son

Lily Leung had an extremely grief Mother's Day on May 13th. Although her son, daughter-in-law and grandson were all by her side, but this year is her first Mother's Day without her husband (Yuen Lai Ming).

Lily's husband left her on May 2nd, that painful feeling of losing a loved one, in all honestly, Lily Jeh cannot describe that feeling in words. When the couple celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary (60th), a friend said with giggles that she'll be waiting to celebrate their platinum wedding anniversary (70th). At this moment, Lily Jeh quitely said: "We can't even celebrate our 65th anniversary. We only celebrated up to our 63rd anniversary."

Facing indescribable pain, Lily Jeh quickly moved from her residence in Hong Kong Island to Kowloon. She moved to a home 5 minutes walking distance from her son, convenient of having someone to look after her. She glances out from the living room and sees the blue sky and a lush of green trees, and couldn't help but say: "If only he was here, he would definitely like this scenery."

In the recent year, Yuen's health had been declining, he could barely walk, but refused to sit in a wheel chair. Soon after he was sent to the hospital, everyone in the family took turns to visit him. However on the evening of March 1st, the family were all heading home from work, but some already got a call from the hospital even before making it home, Lily: "At the time, I was by his side, I grabbed his hand. He kept saying he was very tired and wanted to sleep. I told him, don't sleep, the grand children are coming to see you. Unfortunately, he just smiled and left..."

Married First Lover

Lily Jeh married Yuen at age 17 and have been together for over 60 years. They exceed conjugal love; they are a role model for married couples. The couple were married on October 2, 1949, at the time Lily was underaged to register for marriage, so she was only able to sign the marriage papers in the Chinese style. Initially her parents disapproved of her getting married at such an early age, but Lily Jeh promised she would earn enough money to give to her parents on a monthly basis. It was only then her parents agreed to let her marry. She met Yuen at age 14 while working on a stage play. He was her first lover.

Youngest Son Lost His Life Due to Weight Loss

Lily Jeh lost two loved ones in her lifetime. The first time was in 1998, her youngest son Yuen Wai Hung passed away. In her own life experiences, Lily Jeh understands that worry could really be harmful. "Worry, is more miserable than any other disease. At the time, I couldn't breathe and thought I was having a heart attack. It turns out, how your mood affects you is very important. People must know how to tolerate, able to pick it up and let it go."

Lily's son death was due to his desire for good looks and taking weight loss drugs. He didn't exercise, and would just eat an apple a day. When he visited his sister in the Philippines during the holidays, because of long-term malnutrition, his body suddenly failed on him. He fainted in the Philippines and was sent to the hospital. Doctors initially thought he had pneumonia. While he was hospitalized, his father accompanied him, but eventually because of organ failure, he lost his life.

On December 28, 1998, Lily Jeh remembers that night clearly. The nurse slept on one side of the bed, her son was in the middle and she accompanied him on the other side. In the morning, the nurse suddenly calls her and that was when her son passed away, Lily Jeh said: "He looked as if he was sleeping, very peaceful and beautiful."

Lily's family later took the weight loss drugs that he was taking for lab work. It was discovered that 4 of the pills were illegal drugs. The doctor took those drugs and gave it to her son. Lily experiences the grief of losing her dearest son, she said: "It is really shameless."

No Retirement Plans

Lily Jeh is currently 80 years old, but she has no plans to retire. TVB's executives Catherine Tsang and Virgina Lok are frequently accepting jobs for her to prevent her from being too lonely and thinking too much. Aside from shooting series, Lily is always devoting herself to volunteer work at the retirement home and children that are mentally challenged.

The senior population in Hong Kong is growing, but some people can get so heartless to use a fake address, so when their elderly family member discharges from the hospital, they won't be able to find them. Lily Jeh just cannot understand the mentality that some of these people have. From the education she got in childhood, whenever others help you, you must be grateful.

Gloves Come Off's "Lo Kut" (Henry Leung) challenges his father Kevin Cheng,

Since the broadcast of Gloves Come Off, the series has won public praises and this is the week of the finale. In the series, aside from all the boxing scenes, Kevin Cheng and his son "Lo Kut" father-son relationship has earned hot tears. Lo Kut's real name is Henry Leung (Chi Ho), a 10 years old who performs exceptionally well in school. He's one clever little boy, when memorizing his lines, he just looks at it once and his photograhic memory takes action. During filming, little Henry often bravely challenges Kevin in seeing who can memorize their lines and have the least NGs.

Lo Kut treats the set as if it was a playground and often gets sweaty from all the playing. He said: "My parents have to go to work, and rarely takes me out to the playground. It's been at least two years since I've been to one." Having such a good time playing, but once a family member says stop, Lo Kut behaves and goes straight back to his family and does not make a fuss at all.

Kevin has once described his on-screen son Lo Kut as '???' ('chyun' - a little cocky). He said: "If I had a good life, I would want a son with his personality. There will only be sparks with Lo Kut's personality and the outcome was great." Lo Kut is not considered cute, but he has a smart and clever look. Lo Kut will turn 10 in October, and is currently in the fourth grade. He's an excelled student, ranking fourth place in his class. He scores the highest in his class in general knowledge, mathematics and English grammer. He is also the SGA vice president and a leader at the library. In all, he's a leader in school.

When asked if Lo Kut likes acting? He answered: "It's fun." Then he suddenly exposed: "Only in the series I can have a Boxing King father!" What if he has to take a test in school, how does he study and film? Lo Kut gave an earnest answer: "I do all my homework at school and at home, study first. Then I can focus on my acting and shooting the series."

Competes with Kevin on who NGs the least

In Gloves Come Off, Lo Kut is an 8 year old boy, but he had always liked to play with his big brothers and sisters, so he has a great relationship with Kevin: "The first time I met 'Lo Dai' (or Big Brother) Kevin, he asked me: 'However you usually call your dad, just call me the same way!' I've actually started off calling him 'Lo Dau', but then somehow it turned to 'Lo Dai'. I still call him that now. He also told me to watch Chow Yun Fat's All About Ah-Long."

In the series, Lo Kut and Kevin's parent-son activity is to compete on memorizing lines. Lo Kut said: "We race to see who can memorize our lines the fastest, then we practice together and see who would get it wrong." Lo Kut's elder sister accompanied him on this interview, she said: "Sometimes when its time to start shooting, my brother is still playing, but then Kevin would ask: 'Your playing here? Have you memorized all your lines yet? The upcoming scene is very important!' Then my brother would answer him: 'Let's see who's going to NG first then?!' My brother is really good at memorizing lines, he practices with me once at home, and won't need to look at it again once he's on the set. Even if the lines change at the last minute, he won't get it wrong, so whenever my brother and Kevin compete on who NGs the least, he rarely loses."

Lo Kut's real father was at the side pointing a finger at his son, he laughed: "I don't know how, but he can even remember the long lines. Tell him to cry and he cries immediately. Before I didn't know he can act. He even exchanged phone numbers with Kevin, but we don't even have Kevin's number." Lo Kut expressed he and Kevin have been keeping in touch: "He would ask me how I'm doing on my homework and tells me to eat more! I call Lo Dai and set a meeting in June for Father's Day, but he's not going to be in HK. I told him I'll wait until he gets back to HK first!"

Three years ago, Lo Kut's mother had a friend recommend him to shoot a commercial, and since then a director spotted him. He has been in music videos, films, educational programs and on RTHK.

Oscar Leung to find the 'culprit' of Kimmy Kwan's sexual harasser

Oscar Leung was rumored involved in a criminal case last Friday (May 4th) at a bar. Yesterday he was back at TVB for the blessing ceremony of his new series Justice Pursuit & Attack with the other cast members including Michael Tse, Sammy Leung, Sharon Chan and Mandy Wong (other cast: Tavia Yeung, Alice Chan, Louis Yuen). At the ceremony, Oscar clarified the rumor and the report yesterday frightened his family. He said he has been busy shooting series and had no time to go out to play. Oscar joked he had always been the industry's 'ambassador of people relations' and have not had any conflicts with anyone. Also, it was said a female artist by the surname of Kwan was involved in the case as well, and it was rumored that female artist was Kimmy Kwan. At the event, Oscar generously took pictures and shook Kimmy's hand. He said he didn't know her prior to this series; this will be their first collaboration. Oscar revealed he thought Kimmy was another female artist, Coffee Lam. He continued and expressed on the night of the 'crime', he went straight home after work and his girlfriend can be his witness.

When asked if this rumor has been really troubling him? He said: "No, but its getting more and more serious. The rumor said I raped her and now I don't know what the story will develop into, maybe say I'm committing suicide to escape the punishment." Oscar expressed he plays a prosecutor in the new series and Kimmy will play a girl that gets sexually harassed. He joked: "When the time comes, let me do the investigation and get justice back for her." TVB has already talked to the police about the issue and basically there was no such thing, this time it is something made out of nothing. Oscar does not plan to take any legal action.

As for Michael Tse, he took the opportunity to 'mess' with Oscar, pretending to arrest Oscar and said: "Arrest him! [He's] not filming today!" Then Michael stopped playing and said seriously that the issue only has a defendant and no plaintiff. Perhaps the next victim will be him with rumors that he's often drunk, but Michael said drinking is not illegal. As for Ricky Fan, who was also said to be at the 'crime' scene, frankly said over the phone: "Basically there is no such thing. Last week I was with my wife (Charmaine Li), and had to work. I have witnesses. Oscar is getting married soon, don't go causing trouble!"

In the series, Sharon plays a policewoman and that had been her aspiration during childhood. Now that her dream has come true, Sharon expressed she has to deal with gun fighting scenes and to build the hot policewoman look, she has been watching movies to get some ideas: "I've been actively watching Angelina Jolie's Mr. and Mrs. Smith, learning her postures and poses. Because there are some gun fight scenes that are similar. (Then is Sammy [Leung] Brad Pitt?) OK la! He hasn't been eating because he wants everyone to see his best appearance."

Oscar Leung rumored to be involved in a criminal case

Oscar Leung rose to popularity from the TVB series L'Escargot, where he played the role 'Kwan Yee Gor'. Recently, he was suddenly involved in some gossips. It was rumored Oscar was involved in a criminal case that occurred last Friday (5/4th) with a young girl at a bar. Yesterday Oscar expressed over the phone: "At first, I just laughed it off, but then it was rumored of sexual harassment, then changed to sexual harassment and beating. Eventually the rumors developed to rape too. Friends have called me to ask about the rumor, my family has been very worried about me and I just feel so troubled. I'm very unhappy and I'm afraid this might affect my image. Actually up until now, nobody has contacted me and I have considered personally paying a visit to the police station to get an understanding of the situation, but then I don't know which police station to go to. I don't know what kind of practical joke this is or who did it, but I am very innocent. I am clueless as to what the entire issue is."

TVB Director of Foreign Affairs (Tsang Sing Ming) responded to the Oscar's rumor: "I have already contacted Miss Lok (Virgina) and Oscar about this. The case occurred last Friday at a bar. Oscar's manager said Oscar has been busy shooting series lately and basically has no time to go to the bar. As for the rumor, they have no brains, I don't know why the are such rumors. If there was such incident, the police would be hunting Oscar down or ask TVB for help to contact Oscar, but we have not received any notice." It was rumored, the case involves another female artist by the surname of Kwan. Last night, Oscar was initially suppose to be back at TVB City to work on his new series, but he did not appear. It was said he will publicly respond to the incident at the promotional event for his new series.

The event also showed the all star videos with production details.  In them, several leads more than just praised the script.  Kwok Fu Sing praised that the film's dramatic and action scenes were very exciting.  His scene with Leung Ka Fai was enough for his acting bug.  Leung Ka Fai also complimented this on screen "nemesis".  "Kwok Fu Sing truly was very amazing, being able to act with him truly was very joyful."

Sam Hui rushes Gigi Leung to have a baby

Sam Hui Koon Kit's four show concert wrapped up two nights ago. Sam invited his "long lost" god daughter Gigi Leung Wing Kei to be his guest. God father Sam urged the recently married Gigi to have a baby soon to satisfy his grandchild wish.

Sam in the last show was very high and sang until almost midnight. He sang his final encore SONG OF PRODIGAL SON with the audience before completing the show. The atmosphere was both cheerful and warmth. When he shook hands with the audience and bid farewell, he even said that he would miss them and hopefully would see them soon. Sam's god daughter Gigi performed in a red dress. They sang TODAY together and Sam played the guitar.

Gigi after the performance asked for a kiss from her god father. Sam joked that he and Gigi have been lost for several years without any contact. Gigi asked her god father not to hide himself and appear more, as everyone missed him very much. Sam mischievously said to Gigi, "As soon as you have news about a grandchild tell me, I am jonesing for grandchildren......hee......" Gigi promised to inform him as soon as she knew and made her god father very happy.

In addition, during the karaoke with the audience Sam had so much respect that he got Wong Hung Sau and Cally Kwong Mei Wan who had a sore throat to sing. Sam made Nat Chan Pak Cheung sing AH LONG LOVE SONG but Sam did not want to "neglect" Lady Sau next to him and asked them to say a sweet duet. Originally Lady Sau who did not want to sing under Sam's sincere invitation made an exception.

Gigi Leung denies pregnancy rumors, will not give up her career because of family

Recently, it has been widely rumored that Gigi Leung is already two months pregnant, but as a taboo, she has stayed low-profile and unwilling to confirm it. Yesterday, when Gigi Leung attended the Guangzhou premiere of "Marrying Mr Perfect", she responded to the rumor for the first time: "I really am not (pregnant), thank you everyone for your concern. Even though I really like children, there is no basis for this report."

According to Taiwan media reports, after having a lightning marriage to Spanish boyfriend Sergio in October last year after knowing each other for five months, they actively tried to have children and currently, she is already two months pregnant. But because of traditional customs, pregnancies cannot be made public until three months into the pregnancy. So far, all parties have remained low-profile unwilling to confirm. Furthermore, as the female lead actress of "Marrying Mr. Perfect", Gigi Leung was absent from Shanghai promotions due to health reason, provoking suspicions of "preventing a miscarriage."

Regarding pregnancy, Gigi Leung explicitly denied: "I really am not (pregnant), thank you everyone for your concern. Even though I really like children, there is no basis for this report. Maybe the media wishes too much that I am pregnant." Gigi Leung stated that a baby is a present from God and cannot be deliberately planned. It is only possible to wait for God to plan it. "If I do (get pregnant), I will definitely share (the news) with everyone at an appropriate time. But some groundless accusation reports have truly influenced my work."

In Wong Jing's new movie "Marrying Mr. Perfect" which already premiered on March 16, it is Gigi Leung's first time acting as a "leftover woman" (a successful career woman who has stayed single), looking for true love: a romantic comedy story of a pure Cinderella who transforms into a female boss. When asked if she has married a 100% man in reality, Gigi Leung sweetly smiled in agreement: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you personally like is 100%. The key is to see if you have found the one who suits you." As for whether it is possible that she is planning to be a full-time mother in the future, Gigi Leung replied: "This question is looking a little into the distance. I have not experienced it and I do not know how busy I will be when the time comes. But I will not give up my interests and hobbies because of getting married and having children. I cannot stop singing and acting."
