    Two nights ago Kate Tsui Tsz Shan, Michael Tse Tin Wa, Koni Lui Wai Yi attended an audience appreciation event for their film I LOVE HONG KONG 2013 (2013 NGOR OI HK GUNG HEI FAT CHOI) in Kwun Tong. Tsui Tsz Shan said, "Finally I have a chance to participate in audience appreciation. Because right now I am busy with a new series, I have been working less shopping center shows and my income has drastically been reduced. I am even afraid ! that advertisers would gradually forget about me. Now I have to announce in advance that at the end of March I have time, otherwise in April I have another new series." Speaking of TVB urging its artists not to attend a certain magazine's award show due to its reports and advertising against the company, Tsui Tsz Shan said, "I haven't received any notice, I don't know about the details. I would respect the company's arrangement and decision."

    Tse Tin Wa two days ago already received TVB's text message. He felt that he had to respect the company's decision and even revealed that the content was hoping that nominated artists would not attend the event. He believed that every contract artists already received the text message. Lui Wai Yi said that she did not spend Valentine's Day with her husband. She also had no date for the Lantern Festival because she would have to judge the Miss Chinese International Pageant. Her husband would have to watch television to spend the occasion with her.

    The Stephen Chow Sing Chi directed JOURNEY TO THE WEST: CONQUERING THE DEMONS has been a Mainland hit as it would soon reach 800 million RMB. Two nights ago he brought actors Chen Bingqiang and Yang Di to Nanjing for audience appreciation. Some felt that the Show Luo (Law Chi Cheung) played character "Lonely Gentleman" was dispensable and even criticized his performance as poor, Sing Yeh explained for Piggy, "I feel the character of Lonely Gentleman is very romantic. He is lonely! I am very lonely too! I am Lonely Gentleman too! One kind of ultimate master is like Lonely Gentleman. On the surface he doesn't look like much, but actually he is just keeping his abilities hidden. Piggy gives me this impression. I feel he is very suitable to play Lonely Gentleman."

  • Calinda Chan fears Lo Fun
    Producer Wilson Chin Kwok Wai's girlfriend Calinda Chan Yuen Wai guest starred in the Lunar New Year film I LOVE HONG KONG 2013 (2013 NGOR OI HK GUNG HEI FAT CHOI) as female lead Kate Tsui Tsz Shan's cousin. She thanked director Chung Shu Kai for casting her and was the happiest about running into her idol Veronica Yip Yuk Hing. Chan Yuen Wai said, "When I learned Sister Hing had a part I immediately visited the set. My artist training class graduation performance was an impersonation of her performance. I didn't expect Sister Hing to know who I am. She said that she read about me."
    As for working with "alternative goddess" Lo Fun, Chan Yuen Wai said, "The first time I worked with her I thought she was very dominating, I have never seen such a mean co-star! However she actually is very nice, she even bought me a drink."

  • Piracy breaks Jackie Chan's heart
    Jackie Chan promoted his film CZ12 (SUP YI SUN CHIU) in Korea. A fan handed him a pirated video for him to autograph, which broke his heart. He said, "While promoting CZ12 in Korea, a fan asked me to autograph a video. I said that the official one isn't out yet, this is pirated. When he found out he immediately threw away the video. Sigh, every time I see counterfeits I would be very heartbroken because I don't want viewers to watch anything that is roughly produced and illegal. Here again I urge everyone to boycott piracy. In the official video I will add over ten minutes of unreleased footage, like scenes that were left on the cutting room floor and my fight scene with Kwon Sang-Woo and a French fighter. They are great. In addition it will also have a lot of behind the scene secrets, like the 8 locations on 5 continents, special effect scene production trilogy process, comparison with the initial set designs to actual constructions. The high quality edition is worthy of viewers' collection! Thank you everyone!"
    In addition, Big Brother's Korean management company revealed that Big Brother is forming a Korean and Mainland idol group called "Double JC".

  • Michael Hui reveals that he had a cataract surgery
    Michael Hui Koon Man will perform two additional comedy shows to raise fund for the charity organization Project Vision and even invite vision impaired guests to attend. Hui Koon Man yesterday attended the press conference and said that he would add human voice effects to attract vision impaired attendees. He also revealed that he had a cataract surgery and successfully corrected his vision. "Actually I don't have to wear glasses again, but my wife says I would be much uglier without them. She is afraid that others wouldn't recognize me, so I keep wearing glasses."
    Hui Koon Man might discuss current affairs. "I feel the best part of last year's show was the Chief Executive debate, but I will just be funny. I won't hurt anyone, even if Chief Executive Leung Chun Ying and Henry Tang Ying Yen are in the audience I should have no problem."
    Speaking of this year's Lunar New Year, Hui Koon Man only watched the Stephen Chow Sing Chi directed JOURNEY TO THE WEST (SAI YAU GONG MOR PIN). He praised Sing Yeh's outstanding direction. Next year he might direct a Lunar New Year film. Although he has been writing scripts, so far no story has excited him enough to make a movie with.
