Jackie Chan and Emil Chau sing together again after 19 Years

The Jackie Chan directed and starred film CZ12 invited Emil Chau Wa Kin to sing the trailer theme song. Their previous collaboration was TRUE HEARTED HERO in 1993. The song was based on Chang Chen-Yueh's song with new lyrics about life philosophy. Jackie Chan went to Taiwan for the recording as well as the music video shoot. During the shoot Chau Wa Kin's "lyric forgetting disease" spread to Jackie Chan, the team prepared cue cards so the shoot went smoothly. Jackie Chan said that when he sang TRUE HEARTED HERO with Chau Wa Kin he was able to step foot into the music scene. This song also became his theme song. He finally understood why Chau Wa Kin did not invite him to collaborate for so many years. Jackie Chan joked, "If I keep singing, he will be unemployed!"

Vincent Wong matures after becoming a father; daughter is his utmost priority

Vincent Wong joined Neway in 2005 as a singer, but unfortunately after two albums, his singing career was going no where. In 2008, he joined TVB where he was given many opportunities in acting. Following Gun Metal Grey, Vincent plays a cop in Tiger Cubs once again. Although both of his roles had a police family background, but the former had much more confidence than the latter. The public believes being able to portray a SDU officer is hot and that it's any actor's dream to get this role, but only he knows the suffers of this role.

Vincent believes because SDU officers are 'hot', he has to look even fitter now. "Two months prior to shooting, the producer told me to start physical training. Since that time, each day for breakfast I ate 5 boiled eggs; lunch I had lean meat rice; afternoon tea I had potatoes; dinner steamed chicken. I was on that diet for 6 months until the end of shooting and I also had to do massive exercises. Also, the uniform and equipment were really heavy. Although it's not like the real thing 60 pounds, but we still had to carry 40 pounds, so that period was truly difficult, but that helped me get into character easier."

As Vincent is often given wealthy roles, he frankly expressed he's also afraid viewers may get bored, "I could only try to put variation in each of my roles. Just like my role in the recently completed Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles, I'm a rich kid again, but because I'm the illegitimate son, so there is a little evilness in me. I really like the role. Of course what I hope most is to be able to change my acting road, get different roles. Hope there will be this opportunity one day!"

Yoyo Chen is like a lover

Vincent has only been a father for two months and already feels pressured: "In the past, whatever I did, I just thought about whether I liked it or not, but now my daughter comes first. Whatever it may be, I think of my daughter first and I think far into the future. Currently my greatest wish is to save enough money to buy a home. I hope to give my daughter a better environment to grow up in. I feel I have matured and grew up!"

29 year old Vincent, looks matured on the outside, but he's still a big kid on the inside. He laughed and said after his daughter was born, its as if his wife Yoyo Chen has to look after another child. "I always say, Yoyo is like my big brother ('dai lo'), she's much more mature than I am. After we had our baby, we had less time together, but I still found my interests in life. Someone taught me, don't treat your wife as a wife, she should be like your lover and must maintain fresh feelings."

Recently, Vincent has been in more series and his roles are getting bigger and bigger. It seems like he's getting heavily promoted, but he doesn't feel satisfied yet because he lost his singing career. "That time, I released two albums, then my career came to a halt. There was a period of time I had no confidence and always thought people were talking about me. I hid myself at home. Luckily, my former manager recommended me to join TVB, that's how I was able to develop my acting career."

Kate Tsui likes Smart Men, Ready to Retire After Marriage

Kate Tsui entered the industry in 2004 after being crowned Miss Hong Kong and has been in a number of series since. In 2007, she debuted on the big screen and won the Best New Performer Award at the 27th Hong Kong Film Awards for her role in Johnny To's Eye in the Sky. She also has pretty good 'peach blossom luck' as she was rumored with several male artists like Ron Ng, Joe Ma and Kenneth Ma. It turns out she only has feelings for smart men outside of showbiz, and intends to retire after marriage!

Best Way to Get Along is to have Same Taste

If you meet your Mr. Right will you go for a lightning marriage?

Kate: "This is an interesting concept, but I never thought about what I'll do when I get married. When I was teenager, I told my mother I'm not getting married because I didn't know what the purpose was. I'm not saying I'm resisting marriage, but it's just I haven't met someone that really matches and that I feel I could be with.

Just now I mentioned I won't find a boyfriend in this industry, it's not because I met an incompatible partner before and won't like people in showbiz again, rather I just don't like to be in the same work environment as my boyfriend. It's just like a couple working in the same office, don't really know what to do. In a relationship, a pair should have lots of topics to talk about. If you and him are working in the same office and know the same people, then topics narrow.

If we end up being in a series together as the lead actor and actress, then I cannot accept that. I want to keep work and private life separate. Kiss scenes are inevitable in acting, if my future boyfriend minds, then he should tell me, but after marriage I won't be working and will probably retire. I have this idea, but my thoughts usually never come true, haha. Perhaps I won't be able to retire. We never know what's going to happen next year, so just leave it to fate. Deliberately trying to plan will do you no good."

Longs for a True Love Romance Series

Kate started off as a Miss HK, and has played many different roles in TVB series, including a policewoman, lawyer, wealthy lady and more, you can say she has high flexibility. Today, she hopes be in a simple romantic story, bringing out a 'true love' side of her.

Kate: "This year my big work plans are to actively shoot series. All the series I've completely previously all broadcast around the same time and I'm afraid I won't have anything this year. So even with all my efforts, there will just be one series that will release. I've done films in between and have always been working in both the TV and film industry. However, this year I have no plans to release a music album, just focused on acting. Actually, I'm always doing different things, this year I want to do more series on romance, those true love types of stories. I have previously done too many hardcore roles like being a policewoman and boring the audience. Fans complain too, they all think I'm grown up, and can start doing other type of roles now, so I want to be part in a simple romantic series. Recently I've been shooting Highs and Lows, my role was initially a bar tender, but after several twists and turns, I end up in drug trafficking. She's a character that stops at rock bottom. In acting, I don't have times where I can't get out of the negative emotions. It's just if it was a rainy day, then I would feel sad. I'm a person that really needs sunshine!"

No Energy to Play with Young Men

There has previously been several actors rumored with Kate, but it turns out she really opposes dating someone in the industry. She believes a couple working in the same industry, then there would be less topics between them and lose the sparks. Kate longs for her future other half to be someone outside of the industry and she hopes he'll be able to teach her lots of things. She admits, at this moment, she really wants to be in a relationship!

Kate: "Being in this industry, must have a peach blossom. 'Audience fate' is a type of peach blossom too. Dating or not, leave it to fate. I'm actually pretty desperate to date myself because I feel it's about the time I should be in a relationship. A lot of my female juniors and seniors are getting married and having children, I'm really happy for them, but also audience nowadays are more accepting to artists finding their other half. They have a very open mind. Humans are humans, should have a balanced life and dating is just a part of life. At this stage in life, I do have pursuers, but I have to look clearly first. My pursuers are people outside of this industry, I don't like people in showbiz. That's boring. We're all in this industry, it's hard to match our schedules, for example, you're shooting in the morning, and I'm shooting at night. The times can't be regulated, it's hard to accommodate. The main point is, I hope my other half can teach me things. If we are both in the same profession, we see the world the same way and that's just not good enough.

I didn't say I especially like men from a specific profession, the key is to have common hobbies and taste. It would be the best if he's handsome, and looks smart, a clever guy and can communicate with me. He should be older than me too. I'm not saying how much older he has to be because I never dated someone over 10 years older than me, so I don't know if that works. But, I think it shouldn't be too big of an issue. Among my ex-boyfriends, the oldest one is only a few years older than me. We were only together because we had the same taste. If the age gap is too big, that's not going to work; if he's younger than me, he'll probably be always playing, I don't have the energy to play with him. Should I go down to the park with him to kick ball? Haha. Those in their 20s do those things, so the boyfriend I choose should be close in age, personality and taste with me. That's how we have common topics."

A Sexy Goddess? Thanks to Mom

A lot of men think Kate is the 'Sexy Goddess', but she did not dare to admit.

Kate: "Sexy is just a feeling. It's just other people calling me sexy. My definition of sexy is like this, people think I am, I won't be annoyed. I cannot control others' impressions. I don't know if its an innate quality, but my mom thinks its strange, why would her daughter be sexy? Haha, because she always saw me as a clear and bright little girl. She can't associate me with the word sexy. You think I'm sexy, I could only thank my mom. In fact, my standard of sexy is if other girls see a girl to have the sexy appeal or let me put it this way, this is very natural. You feel someone is very attractive, but that may not necessarily be in the eyes or mouth, it could be the personality or speech."

Epilogue: Charisma Attracts Rumors

Females who have a gentle voice, a foolish feeling and a sweet appearance had always been attractive to the opposite sex. However, during this interview, Kate was very straightforward, answered questions quickly and had quick reactions. She is no way a gentle and sweet girl. Why does she attract so many rumors then? Turns out, when Kate take pictures, she can immediately put away the tomboy side of her and display a sharp eye expression. Then she can pose in the most feminine way. This just proves straightforward and clever girls, just as long as they put out their feminine side at the right time, they can still attract men.

Stephen Au marries ex-wife again after 15 years

Stephen Au and his wife (Phyllis Man) were married for 15 years, but separated for 3.5 years due to the difference in personality. Yesterday the couple were married for the second time at the Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary. Although Stephen and his wife are already an old married couple, they still appeared very loving to the people before them. When they were saying their vows, they teared up from being so emotional. Stephen even attentively helped his wife wipe away her tears.

When the couple shared their feelings the guests, Stephen said: "We were married 15 years ago, and in between we separated and got back together. It's a rare chance that someone marries the same person two times. Marrying for the second time, I am even more serious and nervous than the first time." Stephen already lifted the bride's veil before signing the marriage certificate, and was teased by the priest that he's too hurried.

Patrick Tang and Katy Kung attended Stephen's marriage ceremony as a couple. Patrick said he deeply felt touched and hopes his love life could be just as sweet as theirs. When asked if he has any plans for marriage too? He laughed and said he's getting older and it's about time, but first he has to save enough money for marriage.

'Trendy Mother' Kelly Chen was admitted to the hospital last Wednesday and gave birth to second son 'Siu Lung Bao'. Yesterday afternoon, Kelly was discharged from the hospital with the company of her manager and assistant. However, her husband Alex Lau was not seen. Kelly smiled as she appeared in a red jacket and short boots, clearly she took the time to dress up and her figure looks as slim as before. It does not look like she's a mother of two at all.

Kelly reveals "Siu Lung Bao" name is Lau Sam. The word "Sam" is the same Mandarin pinyin as her maiden name "Chen". She said: "It means precious, very hard to get. His English name is Riley. I just love it, I think the name sounds great, so I chose it."

Kelly is currently doing well physically, but the most important is that her son is in good health. She also reveals that she and Alex will give a gift to little Riley on behalf of her elder son Chace: "Chace loves cars, so we plan to give one to him. (Do you miss Chace?) I really miss him, going home to see him now!" Just gave birth and Kelly is already wearing a short skirt, is she not afraid to catch a cold? She said: "Nope, it's so hot today."

When asked why her husband wasn't seen to pick her up from the hospital? Kelly said: "He went home already to prepare and also to see Chace. It should all be done now." She smiled and said the nurse Riley goes to sleep right away after he finishes his milk and is very easy to care for. She hopes he'll be just as easy to take care of when he gets home.

Asked if she'll shoot a family photo and give to the media? Kelly said: "Let me get some rest first, I've just gone through surgery, give me some time." When asked if she'll go for a daughter soon? Kelly's eyes grew big and expressed: "Let me think about it clearly first. (How long do you have to think for?) Give me some time, see how things go first!"

Jeff Lau remembers making comedy after his Parents' passing

The Jeff Lau Chun Wai written and directed film 92 THE LEGENDARY LA ROSE NOIRE (92 HAK MUI GWAI DUI HAK MUI GWAI) was selected as one of the 100 MUST SEE HONG KONG MOVIES. Yesterday it was screened at the Hong Kong Film Award. Lau Chun Wai returned to Hong Kong in support and even with his always humorous personality. He also received the support of good friend Corey Yuen Kwai as they talked about the past. Lau Chun Wai revealed that the film's first week box office was beyond brutal. He immediately took a flight to leave Hong Kong as he did not dare to face this box office. Luckily Yuen Kwai called to encourage him. Later the box office gradually rose and had a 160 some day run to become the longest running Hong Kong film release. Lau Chun Wai said, "That feeling is like Heaven is playing with me!"

Lau Chun Wai said that among his numerous work, the most memorable should be SAVIOR OF THE SOUL (91 SUN DIU HUP NUI) because at the time his parents passed away within a month of each other. He remembered when he received the call that day, Anita Mui Yim Fong was still sitting next to him and asked why he looked so surprised. When she learned she told him not to start the shoot, then Lau Chun Wai also called Andy Lau Tak Wa to explain. Yet at night he still returned to the set and shot a scene that cracked up the late night preview audience. Lau Chun Wai helplessly said, "The whole feeling is pretty dumb, with such a mood I could actually make such a scene." Lau Chun Wai said that in the middle of the year he will officially shoot his new film. It will mainly be a comedy. The cast and the location have not been decided yet.

Teddy Robin Kwan has comedy phobia after 30 Years

Film professional Teddy Robin Kwan two nights ago attended the opening ceremony of his 30 year film exhibition TEDDY ROBIN PANORAMA. Artists who have worked with him in movies including Cheung Kwok Keung, Kam Hing Yin, Teddy's proteges Derek Kwok Chi Kin and Clement Cheng Si Kit came in support.

Teddy said that he has never seen such a complete collection. He also said, "I have been in the film industry for 30 years, but more than 30 years in music."

When asked about Teddy's favorite work, he joked, "My favorite movie hasn't been made yet, but so far in my film career my favorite is COPS AND ROBBERS (DIM JI BING BING)." Teddy said that was his film as a producer, but as a director his favorite was ALL THE WRONG SPIES (NGOR OI YEH LOI HEUNG). Producing over 20 films over the years, Teddy said that he starred in many as well. Would he remake any of his past classic films? He answered with certainty, "No! I don't want to repeat myself!" He said that he had a fear of making comedy nowadays, instead he would like to make some human and touching films. Would he make more movies? He said, "I am still very stubborn, even though as an actor I have more opportunities to make movies. I have turned down many movies because I wouldn't make anything that wouldn't be suitable." Teddy said that currently he had two stories in mind and he would have a part. What type of characters would he play? He said, "I like both stories very much, I play seniors in both. This way is more relaxing."

After 7 years, Cass Phang finally accepts Wyman Wong’s invitation to perform at concert; no intention of returning to the HK music industry

***Translator’s Note: Only the sections of the article related to Cass Phang were translated.***

Famed lyricist Wyman Wong’s star-studded«Concert YY Wyman Wong Exhibition of Works Concert»held its opening night at the HK Coliseum on February 9th. Prior to the start of the concert, there was already a huge demand for tickets to the show, resulting in additional shows being added – 6 shows total will be held, ending on February 14th.

Amongst the stars slated to perform at the concert, the most highly anticipated was the return of 90s Cantopop queen Cass Phang (??), who had retired from the industry 10 years ago to focus on raising a family. Setting foot on the HK Coliseum stage after a 10 year hiatus, Cass became one of the focal points of the night – first, she sang her famous hit song «???»[‘Little Plaything’], then performed the song«??»[‘Discouraged’] with artist Joey Yung (???), and ended her performance by reuniting with singer Anthony Wong (???) to perform their popular duet «??»[‘Whirlpool’] – gaining loud cheers and applause from the audiences that night.

Last week, a magazine reported that it had received confirmation directly from Cass herself that she would be returning to the HK music industry and that her appearance at Wyman’s concert would pave the way for her comeback. However, it turns out that those earlier reports are false -- at this point in her life, Cass is perfectly happy with her role as ‘wife’ to artist Jan Lamb (???) and ‘mother’ to their 2 daughters. Also, the only reason why she agreed to return to the HKC stage for this one time was because of her long-standing friendship with Wyman Wong.

.--.

The year 2002 marked Cass Phang’s last appearance on the music stage – that year, after completing a 25-show musical dedicated to Teresa Teng, Cass ‘disappeared’ from the HK music scene. The last interview she gave was in 2004, in which she revealed in an exclusive interview with Mingpao Magazine that she was pregnant with her second child.

With the recent ‘rumors’ that Cass will be making an official comeback to the music industry after her guest performance at Wyman’s concert, our [Mingpao] reporter contacted Cass’s previous manager (who today has become her good ‘sister’) Candy Leung to see if Cass would be willing to grant us an interview prior to her performance. However, after checking with Cass, Candy responded: “Cass really does not want to do any more interviews, however if you guys are willing to clarify a few things on her behalf, it would be very much appreciated – the truth is, Cass has never thought of making a return to the industry!”

Then why did that magazine claim to have received confirmation from Cass directly that she would return and become a singer again? Candy replied: “That time, Cass had just returned from a trip with her family and bumped into reporters at the airport – however she says that she never accepted any interview with any Media outlets, so she herself isn’t even sure why things were reported that way. I can tell you on her behalf that those reports about her returning to the industry are absolutely false – you can see with your own eyes that after Cass finishes her guest performance at Wyman’s concert, she will return to her role as 'Mrs. Lamb'! Actually, those false reports were quite bothersome to her – after all, she has not sung in close to 10 years and has been very nervously preparing for this performance. Therefore, she does not want to say anything further and definitely does not want to do any interviews.” Indeed, during her performance at Wyman’s opening night concert, Cass did not say anything on stage outside of her singing.

During an interview backstage after his opening night show, Wyman revealed that he had actually tried to convince Cass to return to the stage 7 years ago: “7 years ago when I held my mini-concert, I had already asked Cass if she could be a guest performer, but at that time, she told me she wasn’t ready. Today, 7 years later, as I was preparing for this ‘exhibition of works’ concert, the first artist I thought of inviting was Cass! Since Cass has such a happy family life and doesn’t have anything to worry about financially, I wasn’t expecting her to say yes, but to my surprise, she agreed immediately – as I was talking on the phone with her, I was in tears! In the years since she left the industry, a lot has happened – I know that someone offered to write her a huge check just to appear at an event and not even sing, however, she refused. Offers of large sums of money cannot motivate Cass to even make an appearance, yet she willingly agreed to perform at my concert – I was so moved that I cried many tears!”

Wyman also revealed the reason why Cass has been unwilling to return to the industry all these years: “Because she has a husband who loves her dearly and does not want her to come out of retirement – plus she loves peace and tranquility! The only reason why I was successful in inviting Cass was because both she and husband Jan are very good friends of mine.”

Focus on her role as 'Mrs Lamb'

Cass entered the music industry in 1990 and in 1995, reached the ‘heavenly queen’ level when she won the ‘Most Popular Female Singer’ award at the JSG Awards Ceremony as well as the ‘Female Singer Gold Award’ at Commercial Radio’s Chik Chak Awards. Cass’s former manager Candy Leung reveals that all these years, Cass has been very grateful to Wyman for writing the song «???»[‘Little Plaything’] for her, which helped to push her career to peak levels: “That year, the song was a huge hit and after that, they [Cass and Wyman] remained very good friends -- in fact, Wyman is actually considered a ‘family friend’! Friendship is something that can’t be explained – Cass agreed to perform purely because she wanted to help out her friend. Of course, before saying yes to Wyman, she had discussed it with her husband first.”

Candy also revealed that throughout the past few years, many different organizations had invited Cass to return: “There have been invitations for concerts and stage performances as well as guest performances at awards ceremonies and charity events – people would say to me: ‘No matter how much money it costs, it’s not a problem, just give me a price!’ However, none of these offers moved Cass one bit – she has stood firm in not wanting to sing again!”

After Cass married Jan Lamb in 1998, she gave birth to 2 daughters, one in 2000 and the other in 2004 – currently, her eldest daughter is already 12 years old and her younger daughter is 8. Candy reveals that in the past 10 years, Cass’s goals in life have been hugely different from what they were when she first started her singing career: “Cass does enjoy singing and she has already experienced what it is like to be at the height of her career as a singer. But we need to consider that the Cass Phang of today is a wife and mother first and foremost – her biggest goal in life now is to raise her 2 daughters. In each stage of one’s life, there are different choices that need to be made – in the upcoming years until her daughters are grown, Cass has very willingly and happily chosen to focus on her role as ‘Mrs. Lamb’!”

According to reports, Cass has only promised Wyman to be guest performer for the opening and final shows of his concert – this means that the finale show on February 14th will most likely be the very last chance that fans will ever have to see former Canto-pop queen Cass Phang perform!

Fala Chen resumes work after 1 month break

Fala Chen, Sire Ma, Samantha Ko, Suki Chui, and Jess Shum appeared in Tsim Sha Tsui yesterday to attend a Lunar New Year dinner. During her 1 month vacation, Fala visited her arents in the United States and also traveled to Japan with her ??boyfriend, Daniel Sit.

Earlier, the photos of Fala's parents' house in the USA were exposed, with tabloids indicating that Fala had gotten secretly married with Daniel, who purchased the house for the Chen family as a bridal gift. Fala denied all the allegations, “The photos were from the previous owners, taken at the time when they had listed the property for sale. Now, the inside of the house looks completely different. My family felt that they lost their privacy and intend to move elsewhere.”

Reported to have suffered from Trigeminal neuralgia (facial nerve pain) earlier, Fala indicated that her condition improved markedly. “There is less pain now; there is no need to take a large amount of painkillers anymore.” (Will you quit the entertainment industry due to illness?) “An actress’ career is very short. I need to take advantage of current opportunities. This year, I will be filming movies and releasing a music album.”

When speaking of the scene in L'Escargot, where Michael sucked Linda's bleeding finger from a cut, Linda laughed: "That day, I didn't wash my hands after using the restroom!" Michael responded immediately: "Wah! No wonder that night, I felt so uncomfortable!"

Also present at the event was Fiona who is going to hold her HK Coliseum concert in July, but she will have to first shoot two films and also have to direct the MV to her new song. She's already preparing now. When asked if she'll go send new year greetings at Khalil's house? She said: "Because of work, I can't go." As for Khalil, he is allergic to cats, so won't be going to Fiona's house to send new year greetings because she owns a cat.

Nicholas Tse: She's the mother of my sons after all

Although Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung ended their 5 year marriage, the two are still raising their sons Lucas and Quintus together. Since the two have personal experiences of growing up in a family with divorced family, they never wanted their children to follow their footsteps. According to sources, after the cool down period, Nic and Cecilia's relationship started becoming better. Yesterday it was reported that a family photo was found on Facebook that belong to Mike, a Feng Shui Master and good friend of the couple.

After the meeting with Mike, Cecilia and oldest son (Lucas), Nic appeared yesterday at 10am coming out of his residence. The sleepy Nic waved to the reporters waiting outside of his residence, and when asked if his relationship with Cecilia is getting better? Nic joked: "Our relationship had always been bad!" Reporters were shocked to hear this and asked: "How can that be? You just had a family photo with the Feng Shui master friend!" Nic then patted one of the reporters back and pretended to have lost his memory: "I'm very sleepy."

Later, Nic arrived at the airport and was chased by reporters again. When reporters asked again about the reconciliation rumors: "Just now you answered the relationship was 'bad', are you joking with us?" After asking several more times and reporters being persistent, Nic finally said: "Well, she is the mother of my children after all. Why wouldn't we see each other? That's all I'm going to say." He met his friend Mike because of the New Years, but did he also invite Cecilia to join them? Nic answered: "If I see her, then I see her. I really didn't know he (Mike) would post the photo online, just leave it, I can't be upset too much."

Viann Zhang met Ron Ng's parents; Vows to have children after marriage

Viann Zhang (???) “mistakenly” posted a bed photo of herself on Ron Ng’s (???) Weibo blog last week and staked a very public claim as his girlfriend. Fan reactions were swift and critical, scolding her for attempting to generate publicity for herself and acting as an unreasonable girlfriend. In an interview with Oriental Daily, Viann further revealed her relationship with Ron, professing that she has met his parents and if she were to get married in the future, she hopes to have one son and one daughter!

Admitting that they had dated for more than a year, Viann praised Ron highly, “He is handsome, stylish, and a good man. He treats friends well and is a filial son, while possessing a serious attitude towards work!”

Viann noted that “checking” on her boyfriend, Ron, was an action that most couples would do in a dating relationship. Asked whether the posting of the bed photo on Weibo resulted in Ron scolding her, Viann said, “No, he explained the consequences to me. He said that this action will result in a lot of reporters following us and will affect our work, as well as the loss of freedom.” (Were you moved by Ron’s actions?) “Yes, very much. This is because I did create trouble for him!” Asked whether their relationship has improved, Viann replied, “We will have to see what Heaven arranges.”

Viann arrived in Hong Kong this week to film Shaw Brothers’ Lunar New Year movie, I Love Hong Kong 2 <2012??HK????>. Last night, she filmed opposite Bosco Wong (???) and Evergreen Mak (???) through dawn, while Eric Tsang (???) forbid reporters to interview Viann about recent rumors on the film set.
