Jo Kuk Cho Lam led 11 "Dragon Mamas" and babies in the "2013 XOXO charity calendar" shoot, yesterday an unveiling ceremony took place. Kuk Cho Lam, Janet Chow Ka Wai, Lillian Ho Ka Lei, Joyce Lee Lok Si, Claire Yiu Ka Nei, Annie Man Chung Han and Josephine Ng (Chu Fun) made an appearance in support. When Siu Kuk posed for the photo, she was half naked with her naked daughter Lau Sum and the mother and daughter photo was very warm. At the event, Man Chung Han said that during the shoot her daughter acted up and almost gave her a wardrobe malfunction as her tube top was almost pulled off. This time she was willing to be sexy for charity.
The event raised fund for the Hong Kong Early Psychosis Intervention Society. Siu Kuk hoped to raise over 1 million. She took the initiative to contact the Dragon Mamas and received support very quickly. The fund will support EPISO's school promotional tour to provide knowledge of Early Psychosis to everyone. Siu Kuk's brother in 2007 due to emotional disorder committed suicide. She said that after having her baby she worried about post natal depression. Thus she would immediately see a doctor even when the slightest problem arose; the doctor said that she was fine. She said that her family's tragedy had quite an impact, but the most tragic has already passed.
Janet Chow Ka Wai is seven and a half months pregnant. Yesterday she even cut her long hair. Currently he weight has risen to 140 pounds. The doctor during the examination said, "You have a waist!" She thought it was a compliment for ! her but t! he doctor was referring to the baby. The mother absorbed too much nutrition and the doctor told her to pay attention to a balanced diet before giving birth. She revealed that she was liberal with her diet, she had four bowls of noodles and still was not full. Now her husband Timmy Hung Tin Ming would remind her to watch her diet. Ka Wai said that her husband would not mind that she was fat and even called her pretty everyday. - [2012.11.29] LAU CHING WAN FACES TONY LEUNG KA FAI AND LEE BYUNG-HUN AT THE ASIA PACIFIC FILM FESTIVAL

The 55th Asia Pacific Film Festival will take place on December 15 in Macau. Yesterday nominations of the 14 categories were announced. The fresh out of the oven Golden Horse Best Actor Lau Ching Wan and Best Actress Kwai Lun-Mei were nominated as favorites. Ching Wan will again battle Joseph Chang Hau Cheun, other competitors will also include Tony Leung Ka Fai, Lee Byung-Hun; Kwai Lun_Mei will face Lim Soo-Jung, and Song Jia. Leung Ka Fai's COLD WAR (HONG JING) co-star Aaron Kwok Fu Sing did not receive a nomination.
Planning committee executive chairman Eric Tsang Chi Wai and jury member Carina Lau Ka Ling yesterday attended the Macau press conference to announce the nominees. LIFE WITHOUT PRINCIPLE (DUET MING GUM) and GF*BF each received 4 nominations.
COLD WAR and THE SILENT WAR (TING FUNG JEH) each received two nominations. Ching Wan just won the Golden Horse Award, this time aside from Joseph Chang COLD WAR's Leung Ka Fai, MASQUERADE's Lee Byung-Hun and others joined the fray; Kwai Lun-Mei's opponents included ALL ABOUT MY WIFE's Lim Soo-Jung and FALLING FLOWERS' Song Jia.
For Best Supporting Actor, Lo Hoi Pang with LIFE WITHOUT PRINCI! PLE faced! KEY OF LIFE's Teruyuki Kagawa and Mainland's Fan Wei; Best Supporting Actress nominees included THE WEDDING DIARY's Wai Ying Hung, LIFE WITHOUT PRINCIPLE's Denise Ho Wan Si and THE THIEVES' Gianna Jun Ji-Hyun.
Lau Ka Ling served on a jury for the first time, Chi Wai joked that Ka Ling thought about it for a long time and almost had to see a psychiatrist before agreeing. Ka Ling explained that she was afraid she would not be unable to live up to the post. Now she would try her best to be fair. Being on the jury was a great honor and the duty was very difficult, but being able to learn about different cultures and ideas from movies around the world, she definitely will be benefited a lot.
Chi Wai felt that this time was between Ching Wan and Leung Ka Fai. As for Kwok Fu Sing not being nominated for COLD WAR, he said that he would have to ask the jury. "Maybe the jury hasn't seen Sing Sing dance. If they saw Sing Sing's turn from a singer to an actor to an actor of substance, I believe the jury would increase the score because it was very rare."
Ka Ling disagreed with Chi Wai as the category had other actor of substance like Lee Byung-Hun. She said that Ching Wan just won the Golden Horse best Actor but would not have any edge. She would not play favorites either. When she watched COLD WAR, Ka Fai's performance made her hair stand on its ends. It was great and his acting took another step forward.
Speaking of her husband Tony Leung Chiu Wai's THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI) being postponed to a January release, she said that Wai Jai's production has entered its final stages. Everyone understood that director Wong Kar Wai might still make changes at the last second in order to be perfect; for example at the Cannes Film Festival, often actors arrived before the film. It was Wong Kar Wai's style that Wai Jai was very used to so he did not complain at all. - [2012.11.29] EKIN CHENG HAS FUN WATCHING CHARLENE CHOI'S POLE DANCING

Yesterday Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin and Dior Cheng Yi Kin promoted MY SASSY HUBBY (NGOR LO GUNG NG SUN SING) in Guangzhou. Ah Sa joked that Ekin was a "preserved man" who has not changed in 10 years, while Ekin said that he had a chance to watch Ah Sa's pole dancing in close distance in this film and had a lot of fun.
Joyce Cheng Yun Yi in the film played Ah Sa's cousin who was quite a bitch. The character was quite a challenge to Yun Yi. In a swimming pool party scenes she even had to wear a sexy swimsuit. Yun Yi said, "This character was sassy and wild, a chance to play this type of character to me is a dream come true. Having to wear a swimsuit in the film, I feel sexy is an attitude. I don't care about how much cloth it has."
Ah Sa and Yun Yi played the typical Hong Kong women and got along well. "Yun Yi i! s funny and open minded, the real her is very lovable and sweet." She continued her character's personality from 10 years ago, she would kick someone into the pool when she saw injustice. In the film she saw a model threw champagne on Yun Yi, she immediately kicked the model into the pool. Yet the model's friend kicked her into the pool as well. Luckily Ekin saved her just in time. - [2012.11.29] LAU CHING WAN HAS TO WAIT A FEW YEARS FOR HIS RAISE

Fresh out of the oven Golden Horse Best Actor Lau Ching Wan along with Angelica Lee Sinjie, Louis Koo Tin Lok two nights ago worked on the 3D disaster film INFERNO (TOH CHOOK SUN TIN) in Guangzhou. The team applied for road blocks in the financial area for five nights, 15 fire engines and 60 real fire fighters, ambulances and police cars, over 100 extras to play emergency medical teams, victims, onlookers and reporters, and invited 50 Mainland and Hong Kong media outlets to cover he shoot. Directors Pang Brothers admitted that they already expected to exceed the production budget. The film at least will need 8 months of post production and is expected to be released October next year.
Ching Wan said that he has calmed down from the excitement of the award. The most touching was all the people who were happy for him. Some were even happier than he was. Although buddies only send text messages with the word congratulations, but he already planned to return to Hong Kong after finishing htis film and invite everyone to dinner to celebrate. Speaking of his wife Amy Kwok Oi Ming's tears of joy in the audience, Ching Wan sweetly said, "What can I do! She should be happy." As for the moment of his victory became the evening's most watched period, he felt that it had nothing to do with his victory, only that many people wanted to know who won.
Speaking of his raise to 10 million after the award, he joked, "If I didn't win I wouldn't get a raise, after I won of course I have to get a raise! However next year's work has already been scheduled, the raise will have to wait a few more years. Actually working class guys like us are often joked about. Sometimes it's not up to me to sa! y how muc! h the raise will be. The market is calculated." Ching Wan in the film had many dangerous stunts but during the shoot he was very careful and was not injured.
Lee Sinjie pointed out that the film had a lot of dangerous stunts. She was the most afraid of fire and explosion scenes, she was so scared that she did not need to act before showing her real side. Did she receive any special attention from her director and husband Oxide Pang Shun? She said, "The directors at first were still not pleased with the size of the fire and later made it bigger. I felt like my back was burning and I couldn't act, but I didn't feel right about telling the directors to yell cut. Finally I was so hot that before the scene ended I already ran out; the directors asked me if I was fine but told me next time to more 'alert'. If anything happened run first. I was fell on the slippery floor and in so much pain that I wanted to cry, but with so many people looking on I could only smile. Actually the directors took great care of the actors, but they had to take care of so many people. I wouldn't be mad at him for not taking care of me. Goo Jai and Ching Wan also had many dangerous stunts and they were very attentive." Pang Shun said that because he had too much to handle he could only watch Sinjie fall. How would he thank his wife? He said, "Keep shooting!" Why did he not ask the crew to take extra care of his wife? He joked, "If I said it it would have been worse, they would immediately let go of the rope."
Goo Jai said that he had to work wet in the cold, so cold that he could see his breath. Even though the directors took great care of them and prepared hot ginger hot for them, he still felt frozen. He pointed out that during the shoot earlier he cut his right palm on broken glass, luckily it was superficial and did not need stitches. He said, "I could use it for the shoot, it doesn't need make up and is realistic enough. Actually in comparison to last time when I broke my leg and had to take! two year! s to heal, this time had a lot of dangerous stunts but last time was more dangerous than this time." - [2012.11.29] ZHANG GUOLI IS PROHIBITED TO CRY
courtesy of on.cc courtesy of mingpao.com
Zhang Guoli and Chen Daoming in the Feng Xiaogang directed film 1942 played the rich man Fan Dianyuan and Chiang Kai-Shek. Their characters had no connection. Zhang Guoli's Fan Dianyuan was a rich man in a farm village, but during the famine starving villagers robbed him clean, his son died and finally he could only take his family and what was left of his wealth on the road to survive. His character was tragic. He said that when he first read the script he already shed tears several times, but during the shoot the director prohibited him from crying. He felt that wit! h the bitter tragedy people were already numb to the pain and the separation. Finally when Zhang Guoli watched the edited film he also collapsed from crying and thought the director's direction was very correct. - Andy Lau is addicted to being a judge? After the 49th Golden Horse Awards ceremony concluded last Saturday, Hong Kong veteran star Andy Lau confessed that despite the immense pressure from heading the judging committee, he is keen to resume the post.
The "heavenly king" spent 10 days in Taiwan reviewing a total of 36 nominated films, and held a meeting with all members of the panel on the night before the award ceremony. He joked that he annoyed the rest of the judges by asking each of them to tell him their favourite nominees and the reasons for their choices.
Andy Lau's dedication and professionalism towards his work has always been respected. He shared that though it was stressful, being on the judging panel this time was a learning journey that would benefit him for a long time to come.
As he was less familiar with the technical awards prior to this, he now has a better understanding and recommended fellow actors to join the committee if given the opportunity.
When asked if he were "addicted' to being a judge, he nodded strongly, "Yes!" The 51-year-old also expressed his desire to attend next year's Golden Horse Awards.

Translated by: llwy12 @ AsianFanatics - Kelly Chan makes new film to repay Lee Chi Ngai
An actress in horror make up
Kelly Chen Wai Lam has always been a favorite among directors, as she had many scripts for her to choose from. After giving birth to her second son "Little Dragon Bun" Lau Sum, Kelly finally chose the thriller SAU SUM DIK YUT GOR JI (A WORD IN THE PALM OF THE HAND, tentative title) as the first film of her return to film. Reportedly Kelly chose the film mainly to thank her benefactor director Lee Chi Ngai, whose film LOST AND FOUND (TIN NGAI HOI GOK) successfully landed Kelly in the Japanese market. Thus she was willing to work for a friendly rate. Actually this film consisted of three parts from three famous directors. Aside from Lee Chi Ngai, Fruit Chan Gor and Lawrence Ah Mon (Lau Kwok Cheung) will participate. Both are directors who are known in the international film festival circuit. The thriller will definitely receive international film festival attention.
Earlier at late night, Kelly secretly worked on the promotional short film along with lead actor Tony Leung Ka Fai. Kelly at first was somewhat surprised to find reporters at the coffee shop where the shoot was taking place, but finally stood still for pictures and chatted a little before going in for the shoot. Leung Ka Fai arrived earlier than Kelly. Film company boss Bill Kong Chi Keung was also on hand late night to supervise.
Kelly supposedly will play crystal fortune teller in the new film and have many scenes with Leung Ka Fai. During the shoot Leung Ka Fai stepped outside for a break, reporters took the chance to interview him but he declined to reveal anything about the new film. Speaking of Hong Kong films winning many awards at this year's Golden Horse, he excitedly said, "Hong Kong will continue to have many good film releases."
Speaking of Kelly working on the new film to thank director Lee Chi Ngai, her manager Claudie Chung Chun said, "Right, but I am not at liberty at answer anything else. Please ask the film company."

Translated by: hktopten - Aaron Kwok supports the celebration alone The Tony Leung Ka Fai and Aaron Kwok Fu Sing starred new film COLD WAR (HONG JIN) accumulated 230 million RMB at the Mainland box office. Sing Sing two nights ago attended the celebration but Leung Ka Fai was busy with a film and did not attend.
Sing Sing said, "I really don't know how to say thank you, I can only say 'I love you all! (Would the new film have any pressure from Ang Lee's LIFE OF PI?) The films are of different genres, I hope Ang Lee would watch COLD WAR, which is just as good as LIFE. (Would you like to win Best Actor?) Earlier I have already won two Golden Horse awards, I wanted to win a third but I didn't expect to lose to (Tony) Leung Chiu Wai. Later I felt the greater the expectation the greater the disappointment. Now I am beginning to value audience word of mouth."

Translated by: hktopten - Eric Tsang loses "consciousness"
Alan Tam Wing Lun two nights ago held a birthday banquet for his mother and invited his friends, including Eric Tsang Chi Wai and Nat Chan Pak Cheung. Chi Wai who "drinks when he is there, and drunk when he drinks" earlier did not collapse at Kenneth Fok and Sam Lee Chan Sam's wedding banquets, but two nights ago Alan and friends got him drunk and had a little fun at his expense.
Ah Lek put birthday buns on the unconscious Chi Wai's chest and friends teamed up to carry him out of the venue. They even said that he needed to operate on Chi Wai. Chi Wai truly was so drunk that he was at their mercy. If he woke up and found out that his "bed photos" were posted on Alan's microblog, who knows if he would regret drinking too much.
