- Angelababy laments how hard being an Action Actress is
AngelaBaby Yeung Wing yesterday attended her new film TAI CHI's premiere press conference in Shaoxing. Playing an action character for the first time Baby said that "it's hard to be an action actress", but if she caught someone's eye she would be very willing to continue to be an action actress.
This time Baby played the Tai Chi master Chen Yuniang. Because her father Tony Leung Ka Fai's whereabouts was unknown, she took over many family responsibilities. Baby admitted that she respected and admired this character because she was a very tough girl. She was able to stand up and face everything. Baby and the character were both righteous. She also revealed that because she was too manly everyone called her "actor". "In the film I could send people flying with one palm. After six months everyone called me actor. However, in the new film I played a beauty, no one can call me actor again."
To handle the fight scenes, Baby accepted two months of action training that included Tai Chi and stretching in advance. The stretching training hurt her so much she was in tears everyday, but she rather enjoyed the production process. She even discovered that she actually loved wire work. She was especially excited about wire work every time.
In addition, TAI CHI's Chinese kung fu also added in video game concepts. Director Stephen Fung Tak Lun wonderfully merged in popular games like Fruit Ninja and Angry Bird. Feng Shaofeng praised Baby's fighting as amazing. To bring back the heroic look from the poster, Baby yesterday after grabbing a long sword was almost heroine possessed. Although she was in ten centimeter heels she continued to accurately performed lunges twice for everyone to witness kung fu expert Chen Yuniang's heroic style.

Translated by: hktopten - Ekin Cheng makes funny of Charlene Choi's height
Dior Cheng Yi Kin and Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin in their new film MY SASSY HUBBY (NGOR LO GUNG NG SUN SING) again played a young couple. Earlier the film company arranged for them to shoot their first film poster at a studio. In order to display the characters' mischievous personalities, the photographer arranged for a blow up hammer to be a prop. The big kid Ekin immediately grabbed it and pretended to abuse his "wife" Ah Sa. He said, "Let such hard labor to me!" However Ah Sa also knew to coordinate with the story and struck back. "You are obviously the sassy one in this one, I should be the one who hits you." During the shoot they made different poses, Ah Sa told Ekin to coordinate back to back poses. She said, "I think we are very much like MR. AND MRS. SMITH." Ekin joked, "But Angelina Jolie's legs are very long?!" Ah Sa did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

Translated by: hktopten - Johnnie To loses his belly
Jacky Cheung Hok Yau after finishing the film CROSSING HENNESSY (YUET MOON HIN NEI SI) with Tang Wei 3 years ago has not made another movie. Recently because Shu Kei, the director who brought him into the film industry, worked on a graduation film A COMPLICATED STORY for a Performing Art Academy film student and asked Hok Yau to help, Hok Yau of course jumped at the chance. He did not take any salary, not even lai see. He even covered his own transportation. Hok Yau truly is quite a guy.
That day the film started production at Central's Pier 9. From afar a hunk in sunglasses, transparent black shirt and low cut black jeans walked around like he was on the catwalk. The reporter thought he was Hok Yau. Why did Hok Yau get so much more feminine? Upon getting closer, the reporter was surprised. That hunk was big director Johnnie To Kei Fung. His big belly suddenly vanished and could not be more fit. Was he making an on screen appearance for A COMPLICATED STORY? Ah To said, "I am not performance, I am investing in the movie."
Ah To earlier was not considered too fat but was known as "Fat To". In order to cover his big belly, he mostly wore loose shirts. In the summer he definitely had a towel for sweat. When Andy Lau Tak Wa made Ah To's LOVE ON A DIET (SAU SUN NAM NUI) he as the fat guy constantly used a towel for sweat. He was impersonating Ah To. Now he successfully lost the weight, he immediately wore something tight and transparent to show off his body. The reporter joked that he was showing his belly button and underwear, he pretended he did not hear and could not be more confident.
Why did Ah To lose weight? He answered directed, "Too fat." Why? He said, "Wa Jai gave me his diet." Wa Jai's weight loss formula was a flavorless life, no salt, no grease, no sugar. For his concerts he was even more exaggerated, as he only had steamed chicken. He has always been like this and quite determined at it. How did he do it? Ah To then revealed that his blood sugar was high and he had to lose the weigh! t. He sa id, "I have been losing for a week or so, lost a few pounds. Wa Jai told me to persist for 20 days and said that I could lose a dozen pounds or so." He said, "Control the amount, no carbohydrate like rice and noodle, no fruit and only meat." Since he could not eat anything, did he lose any joy in life? He helplessly said, "What can I do. I didn't even have my favorite red wine, just to keep from Wa Jai nagging me." The Big Director actually was afraid of Wa Jai? He said, "He just cares about my health, I feel health is pretty important too."
Director Andrew Lau Wai Keung lost weight over a year ago when his body began to sound an alarm and lost over 20 pounds. Just like Ah To he had no belly. Lau Wai Keung after getting thinner worked on screen as well, as he worked on several commercials. Who knows if any advertiser was interested in the "hunk" Ah To?

Translated by: hktopten - Shu Qi complains about new film
After taking a break from working too hard, Shu Qi returned to work for Taiwan director Hou Hsiao-Hsien and star in the 7 year in planning ASSASSIN (NIP YUN LEUNG), which officially began production yesterday. The leads were Shu Qi and Chang Chen. Shu Qi joked that the martial art training and the wire work were too painful, on the first day of work she thought of returning to Taiwan to find Director Hou to "terminate the contract". She asked her manager and realized that she has not signed any contract.
The film cost over HK$100 million. According to Hou Hsiao-Hsien he ran into financing troubles. Shu Qi said that she wanted to invest. Director Hou praised her "heroine" personality but would not let Shu Qi put money in. At most he would use her salary as investment and share the profit later.
Chang Chen because of THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI) kept training. Shu Qi praised his "waist strength" as he could stand very straight. Director Hou also thanked Wong Kar Wai for helping him with advanced actor training. He also hoped that ASSASSIN and THE GRANDMASTERS would follow CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON in recalling everyone's passion for wu xia film.

At 17, Liam and Mabel already cannot be closer. In the eyes of their classmates they are childhood sweethearts. Yet such an intimate relationship begins to deteriorate after Aaron appears! The rebellious and wild Aaron often tries to get close to Mabel through Liam; but Liam has no ill will toward him. They even continue to be like brothers; Mabel is not only surprised but also confused. "When we are 30, neither of us has a lover then we should be together." Liam has not made his feelings about Mei Bo's promise known. The silent rejection instead makes Mei Bo accept Aaron's pursuit, but Liam has not backed out of the triangle. Instead at the university he quietly becomes Aaron's student movement partner, bringing them even closer. As time passes, the trio's beautiful relationship gradually becomes lost, trapped between friendship and love...

Eliza said that she does not mind being compared...thinks that work is currently going well, so must cherish it. When taking a picture together, she did not remove her overcoat. Doe she think that she is not sexy enough? She said, "I don't think that I'm sexy. Even if wearing a bikini, it's because of the plot. (Think that figure is not good enough?) It's not bad, but think that a t-shirt and jeans is even sexier!" Does she think that Christine is sexy? She sees her as a goddess, even praising her fairy-like beauty.

Well, the majority thinks that it is so...she probably is really better than I am, so I must learn her good points". She, who is tall, even thinks that she is not tall enough!

Mandy Wong: Him Law is 'Boyfriend', Oscar Leung is 'Husband', To 'Breakup' Soon
Him Law has become the new generation Siu Sang, this year he had series broadcasting one after the other, L'Escargot, The Hippocratic Crush, Tiger Cubs and the latest Divas In Distress. He is also currently shooting grand production Triumph in the Skies II. In real life, Him and Tavia Yeung are together, but in series Him has a lot of fate with Mandy Wong. Divas In Distress is Him and Mandy's 5th collaboration. It looks like TVB has really made them into an on-screen couple and are not worried of boring the audience. As for Mandy, her on-screen partner isn't Him, but rather with Oscar Leung instead.
Mandy said: "Perhaps being with Oscar in L'Escargot as Kwan Yee Gor and Kwan Yee So has left a deep impression on audience, and the public sees us as a married couple. However, there is a different feeling with Him Law. Previously in Suspects In Love and Tiger Cubs, we were not passionately in love, it was ambiguous and really had the taste of a pair of lovers. This time in Divas In Distress, it's already our 5th collaboration. Honestly, I was afraid audience would get bored of watching us, but luckily the reactions was really good. I have to thank all the aspects, such as the background English songs, the outcome was really good."

Mandy said: "Perhaps being with Oscar in L'Escargot as Kwan Yee Gor and Kwan Yee So has left a deep impression on audience, and the public sees us as a married couple. However, there is a different feeling with Him Law. Previously in Suspects In Love and Tiger Cubs, we were not passionately in love, it was ambiguous and really had the taste of a pair of lovers. This time in Divas In Distress, it's already our 5th collaboration. Honestly, I was afraid audience would get bored of watching us, but luckily the reactions was really good. I have to thank all the aspects, such as the background English songs, the outcome was really good."
Boyfriend and Husband
Mandy joked Him is her 'boyfriend', while Oscar is her 'husband'. In order to have a refreshing feeling, it is likely they will really have to 'breakup' and 'divorce'. Mandy said: "Actually I debuted around the same time as them and producers often cast us together. In The Hippocratic Crush, I was initially linked with Kenneth Ma, but later developed with Benjamin Yuen, which was also well-received. If I have the opportunity to work with Wayne Lai or Roger Kwok, of course I'll be happy."
Not My Cup of Tea
Asked if she'll develop feelings for Him Law since they always see each other? Mandy said: "Him's not my cup of tea. It's great being friends with him though. We have collaborated many times and have the chemistry. I usually say we're good sisters, but Him says we're good brothers. He takes good care of his partner, but I like the matured types. There is too much sunshine in Him, he gives off a feeling of first love. He's also a little clumsy too, I want someone with the sense of security, a matured guy that can take care of me."
Grateful for Liza Wang's Advices
Him was asked if he had any pressure collaborating with Liza Wang and Gigi Wong in Divas In Distress? He said: "Very happy to collaborate with the two seniors and learn from them. I didn't have to worry about making mistakes. Ah Jeh Liza gave me a lot of advice because we had many scenes together. Ah Jeh's speaks with authority, since she's experienced, her advice is definitely helpful. I personally like to work with seniors, otherwise there won't be as many learning opportunities. Also, they're our support in the series, so I can feel more comfortable."
It was rumored Liza is nicknamed 'Producer Wang', has Him been frightened by her? "No, actually we had a very enjoyable collaboration. Most important is to do your part, be familiar with the script and don't be late. That is a must. When Liza sees you that don't have the right! express ion, she will speak up. When I become a senior in the future, I will be the same as her. Juniors have to understand what their seniors tell them. When seniors are willing to tell you, that means they value you. As a junior, you have to let people know you can accept opinions and advice." Liza plays Him's mother in the series, but what type of mother is Law Mama in real life? "My mom is very gentle with me and I was very attached to her when I was young. Actually my father and uncle were the strict ones, they discipline with some force. Traditional men from the village are usually like that. In the future when I have children, I will use the same method to teach them. Girls will require some patience to discipline and can't use force because that could leave scars. As for boys, they grow up through tripping and falling. When they make a mistake, they should be punished."
Goal: Most Improved Actor Award
When it comes to achievements in his career, does this mean becoming TV King? Him said: "I'm not considered very experienced. Who doesn't want a rapid rise, but you cannot rush it either. You have to take it slowly. Of course awards are important, but you cannot demand for one. When you shoot a series, it is not guaranteed that you'll get really popular, it's all about the right timing. My current goal is to get the 'Most Improved Actor Award', allowing people to see I'm a promising actor. I'll be happy enough with that award."
We remember Him was a film actor turned TV actor, does he hope to get back into films? He said: "I like both TV and film, they are both opportunities and I want to do well in it. I hope to complete my apprenticeship first before I get back into films and be able to show my improvements on the big screen."
[The rest is about Tavia Yeung. Him says his career is his utmost priority. Even after marriage, his career continues to be his priority. Regarding the news that he needs Tavia to support him, Him says artists must accept all types of news, good or! bad, ot herwise showbiz isn't for them. He says he's a traditional man, and is financially stabled. He hopes to buy his own home at the end of the year. He also doesn't mind working with Tavia in the future, since she is experienced and someone he can learn from.]

Substance actress Irene Wan Bik Ha after joining the Emperor Motion Picture artist department radiated again in the film industry. Earlier she and Emperor artist William Chan Wai Ting worked on the Emperor Motion Picture TRIAD (JAT JIK) and had a break through performance. TRIAD's story was about the mob. The addition of female leadership elements made Wan Bik Ha's character even more attractive. The film will also put many mob rumors into the film to make it even more realistic. In one scene Wan Bik Ha, Chan Wai Ting, Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung and Edward Chui Ka Tung joining the mob. Wan Bik ha even appeared in sexy underwear. Chan Wai Ting and others only wore boxers and showed off their perfect muscles.
Wan Bik Ha said that when she got the script she already knew about this scene. For the film to be closer to reality, she did not feel that this underwear only scene was a problem. She only did what an actress should do. Did she clear the set? She said that she did not feel a need to. The shoot did not feel awkward at all. She did not ask her husband before hand either because he understood what an actress needed to do.
Because this scene was shot separately, Chan Wai Ting and Wan Bik Ha did not see each other. In the film he was able to show off his muscles. "When I got the script I knew how to get bigger. I ! spent ma ny months to train, mainly ate egg, chicken cutlet and steak on a high protein diet. I kept exercising to maintain my figure. Before taking my mark I did push ups because the result showed up the fastest." However, aside from his firm muscles Chan Wai Ting's dragon tattoo was also very attractive. He had to spend several hours to have it drawn on for every shoot.

Raymond Lam Fung yesterday was a guest on the Chik Mei Chun's program but was half a hour late. He immediately apologized to Sam Soh and the media as soon as she arrived and explained that because at night he had to fly to Beijing for the LOVE IS PYJAMAS (NAM YUN YU YI FOK) premiere he had to pack at home and go directly to the airport at night.
Lam Fung, Raymond Wong Pak Ming and Vincent Kok Tak Siu two nights ago attended an event for the film two nights ago. Lam Fung's fans booked the screening, which made him very happy. However he regretted that earlier a protest interrupted his Guangzhou performance and autograph session. To keep from disappointing fans, he asked workers to get the records for autographs at the office. Fans should have been very pleased, but he joked, "I am not because I didn't personally thank the fans for their support. However the film will promote in Guan! gzhou at the end of the month. Then fans will have to cheer me up, haha. (Will he celebrate the film's success?) Probably not, I will have to work on a series in the Mainland and won't have time."
Speaking of rumored girlfriend Karena Ng Chin Yu said that the shoot was very happy. Would he meet the cast for dinner? Lam Fung chimed in and said that they would have to. Everyone had a lot of fun working together. Ng Chin Yu also praised Lam Fung for his humor, unfortunately during the shoot they had very little opportunities to chat. He said, "Of course, when the three women Ng Chin Yu, (Teresa) Mo Shun Kwan and (Lynn Xiong) Hung Doi Lam got together they kept talking about eating. I couldn't cut in at all. However actually it wasn't what I said that was funny, but how dumb I am. Only they would think I am funny."
