[2025.12.27] EDDIE CHEUNG WINS ANOTHER AWARD WITH REBORN, HAS RETIREMENT PLANNED

Eddie Cheung has won awards repeatedly with the film REBORN.

Eddie Cheung Siu Fai earlier with the film REBORN (HUNG SUM YUN) won Best Actor at the Vancouver Chinese Film Festival. Recently he again won the Golden Lotus Excellent Actor Awards at the 17th Macau International Movie Festival and 16th Macau International Television Festival. He happily said that he was rather surprised, and thanked the audience for their support and recognition of REBORN. How would he celebrate? He joked that the way would be very simple. First he would quietly meditate at home, savor the production memories and feel already very pleased; however he would have dinner with family, raise a glass and share the joy.

Speaking of future goals, Cheung Siu Fai said, "I have already made retirement plans. In recent years I only want to do my best. When I run into good roles I would work hard. I hope to keep giving the audience a sense of freshness in recent years, and also myself some memories in the future." As for the challenges of making REBORN, he said there were many difficulties. "Fortunately director (Danny) Pang Fat before the production began communicated in depth with us about what the roles required, so the performance difficulty dropped to its lowest and we were even more able to full devote to every scene." He said that even though that emotions in the film were heavy and heart breaking, when he met the director's demands, when he thought about it afterward he would still enjoy it. He said that over the month after the production wrapped, once in silence unpleasant part from the film would still surface. He would take the initiative and ask friends to chat or run so he would not drown himself in the film and slowly be able to leave the role.

[2025.12.27] SOI CHEANG WOULD ADD SUITABLE AMOUNT OF ELEMENTS FOR THE JAPANESE AUDIENCE IN TWILIGHT SEQUEL AND PREQUEL

The roast pork rice in TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN once was among the top searches in Japan. Soi Cheang loves it too. "The barbecue rice I have had the most has to be roast pork rice, for the double combo I have to get roast pork no matter what." As for which shop he likes, he humbly says that he is no foodie. He only feels that barbecue is safe. He also says that with his office in Kwun Tong, he would recommend shops there. Soi Cheang says that he has been under Japanese culture influence since childhood, he likes the manga WOUNDED MAN, the band Anzen-Chitai, the Japanese drama LONG VACATION, and a series of Akira Kurosawa movies. The cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and Japan is just this simple.

The Soi Cheang Pou Soi directed TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) starred Louis Koo Tin Lok, Sammo Hung Kam Bo, Raymond Lam Fung, Terrance Lau Chun Him, Philip Ng Wan Lung and others, made over HK$ 110 million in Hong Kong, swept up 9 Hong Kong Film Awards including Best Film and Best Director, and brought the fever to Japan. Since its release early this year to now, its box office has exceeded 500 million yen (around HK$ 25 million) -- the most brilliant performance for a Hong Kong film there in recent years. Originally slated to participate in the Tokyo Comic Con early this year, Koo Tin Lok, Tony Wu Tsz Tung and German Cheung Man Kit cancelled the trip due to the Tai Po Wang Fuk Court fire; Cheang Pou Soi at the end of October said at the Tokyo International Film Festival that it was rare for a Hong Kong film to have the support of the Japanese audience. "I feel an extra sense of duty, and want to do more cultural exchange." He would add elements that the Japanese audience would like in the upcoming sequel THE FINAL CHAPTER (JUNG JEUNG) and the prequel THE DRAGON THRONE (LUNG TAU).

Cheang Pou Soi said that he was very happy to be able to host a master class at the Tokyo Film Festival, but calling it "achievement unlocked" would be exaggerating. He said that he was not dead yet, so he would keep making movies. "I came here because the Japanese audience likes TWILILGHT, I want to communicate with them more." He knew that many Japanese people after watching TWILIGHT made the trip to visit Hong Kong, which surprised and pleased him very much.

Cheang Pou Soi pointed out that the Japanese audience was particularly into the brotherhood in he film, and had an indescribable relationship with the Walled City. "While I was planning to make TWILIGHT, a lot of the information during research came from Japan. I never would have guessed that the new generation of Japanese people still had affection for the Walled City, which I thought was very interesting; Hong Kong people like the Japanese culture, Hong Kong films used to be very popular in Japan; but nowadays, Japanese people like the movie I made. I feel an extra sense of duty and want to do more cultural exchange."

Cheang Pou Soi said that when he made TWILIGHT he never thought that people would watch it, not to mention the popularity in Japan. "At the time I only did my best to make it. I always feel that when talking with young people around the Walled City, they would only know the Walled City park. When the investors said make the movie, I did. I did my best to bring back the original Walled City. (Its popularity) in Hong Kong was unexpected, but I never even imagined in Japan. TWILIGHT blew up in popularity in Japan, which he said would more or less affect his directing of the sequel. The sequel THE FINAL CHAPTER (JUNG JEUNG) and the prequel THE DRAGON THRONE (LUNG TAU) would depict the 1980s and the 1950s Walled City. He would add certain elements suitably so overseas audience would be more into it. "I would add elements the Japanese audience likes within reason, actually Hong Kong is a place where the Eastern and the Western cultures meet. I believe people from any region would be able to find their own culture (in the film)."

THE FINAL CHAPTER has planned to start production in March 2026. With all the anticipation, Cheang Pou Soi admitted the pressure has been enormous. "I have to remind myself not to have any baggage, focus on the movie and not to think too much. Now the production hasn't started yet, I am still in the stage of handling the script. Actually this period is the biggest struggle, having to decide the roles of the actors, the production direction. After the production start I wouldn't think too much." Would he throw tantrums on the set? Cheang Sou Poi said that sometimes he would, but he would try to control it. "On the set I need to be very cool, throwing tantrums would affect the emotions and could easily lead to making not so sensible decisions. Sometimes I would indeed throw tantrums, but they would be trivial like yelling at people for being in the wrong position." Cheang Pou Soi revealed that THE FINAL CHAPTER production has progressed ideally. "I have spent half a year on locations. The government has been very helpful. Ultimately there are some procedures that we are dealing with. I would also save the sets for exhibition later."

Cheang Pou Soi with MAD FATE (MING ONG) and TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN won the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Director two years in a row. He said that making movies came from an impulse. "Like TWILIGHT, I had quite the impulse to bring back the original Walled City. I felt that it had value and certain that the team would be able to do it; with LIMBO (JI CHI) I had a lot of imagination space after reading the original work, so I made it." Looking back at when he first started in the business, he only thought that when he wanted to make movies and people would give him the opportunity to. He was very naive, but now his thinking is already different. "Now when people ask me to make movies, I would think would I be able to answer to them? If I would agree then I would have to be able to do it. I can't just make movies that I like but would lose money. I can't just only make commercial films either. This I learned from (Johnnie) To Kei Fung."

Cheang Pou Soi said that directors come in many varieties, but he would never define himself. "I don't have any definition, I want to try everything. For example since everyone like TWILIGHT, should I keep making it? Although I would make two more installments, but I would take what else I would make in between. I could make a low budget film that differs from TWILIGHT, or more commercial one is also a possibility." Reportedly the Cheang Pou Soi directed mainland war history film would open next year. He revealed that he had many reasons to make that film, mainly he agreed because he have worked with the film company bosses countless times.

Although he was a film director, Cheang Pou Soi said that he rarely went to the movies. Even the earlier topical film SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) he has not seen. "I prefer to watch old movies, I would choose new films to watch. So I understand very well why the film market would be depressed. Even people in the business like us are this way. Now there are too many choices, and it is too convenient. In the past to watch a movie at home you have to buy a DVD, now you can just press a button. Since (the situation) cannot be changed, we have to think about what other advantage we have to make the audience return to the theaters." Recently 4K restored old films have become popular in Hong Kong. Has Cheang Pou Soi thought about 4K restored editions for his old films? He cracked up. "I don't know, which one of mine can be? No one has suggested it!" He said instead some have suggested releasing LIMBO in color, but whether released or not the decision was completely up to the film companies and the audience. He had no opinion.

Cheang Pou Soi's wife and daughter live in Canada, and he constantly had to fly back and forth; he said that his time in Canada would be the most relaxing, as he would be able to spend an entire day at home or a coffee shop. "I would have pressure from dawdling in Hong Kong, but not in Canada. I can loiter for a month there, go to the supermarket with my wife, pick up my daughter after school. I can even spend a day just sitting in the garage." This type of retirement life would be decent, but Cheang Pou Soi would at least have to finish two more TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS to have the free time to fritter away.

TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN blew up in popularity in Japan. Two months ago the fever still would be sensed on the streets of Tokyo; outside the doors of a Chinese restaurant in Ginza a feature recommendation of roast pork rice could be seen and the movie poster was hung to bring in customers; on the 7th floor of the large Japanese record store Tower Records' Shibuya store, a feature table was set up to display video and music products related to the TWILIGHT actors. At Hibiya's Sanseido book store the TWILIGHT set photobook could be seen. The Japanese magazine MOVIE STAR's November cover featured Lam Fung; fashion magazine an.an also released a TWILIGHT special, with interviews with cast and the original comic book creator as well as introducing Hong Kong movies, cuisine and landmarks. The special was originally priced 2200 yen (around HK$ 110). Reportedly at a certain large Hong Kong bookstore it was priced at HK$ 300.

An anonymous Japanese viewer outside a cinema Hibiya said that she has seen TWILIGHT 10 times at the cinema already. Her favorite scene was the ending when the "Four Sons of The Walled City" defeated Wong Gau, which she found very memorable. She said that in the past she rarely watched Hong Kong films, but the exciting action scenes of TWILIGHT wowed her. "My favorite is Tornado. He is very cool and very amazing. I really want to see the sequel, I am looking forward to it very much." She said that lately she has not have the time to travel, but when she would have the opportunity she would really like to go to Hong Kong.

[2025.12.27] LOUIS KOO AND JESSICA HSUAN GET "PHYSICAL" WITH THEIR MOUTHS

Airing this Sunday evening (28th) the entertainment interview program STAR WEEKLY, the guests would be Louis Koo Tin Lok (Goo Jai), Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen), Raymond Lam Fung and Kevin Chu Kam Yin, the four actors of the movie that has not yet been officially released in Hong Kong but has already become the talk of the town: BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI). The host would be Albert Au Wing Kuen.

Au Wing Kuen asked to verify the rumor that Goo Jai "would not allowed people to ridicule (teased) him", and the scene turned into a party. Goo Jai hurriedly "clarified", "What are you saying? (Immediately pointing at Suen Huen) If she doesn't tease me she wouldn't be happy that day." Au Wing Kuen heard this and asked Suen Huen, "It is rumored that in this world, you are the only one who can tease him (Goo Jai) in front of the camera." Goo Jai replied: "Even when she is not facing the camera she is still yapping." Suen Huen strongly protested against the two ganging up on her, but Goo Jai laughed and said, "I am very vengeful, you are dead for sure this time!" Lam Fung even "added a stab", "I'm thinking about which day you didn't tease him, and it seems like there wasn't......" Under siege, Suen Huen immediately emphasized that "I didn't tease him when I am working."

Seeing that the two kept taking jabs at each other, Au Wing Kuen had to round things up. "Have you teased him so much that you haven't not even notice?" Suen Huen smiled back, "Then I really don't know!" Goo Jai said with more intensity, "That's right! (Why did you let her yap?) Then I don't know either, I'm used to it. Did you think I would want that?" In the show Suen Huen even personally taught the secret of the successful "Goo Jai tease", which was full of laughter.

When she mentioned that when she reunited with Kwok Sin Nei they "got along even better than the past". Goo Jai said, "It means that you didn't get along before". Suen Huen rolled her eyes and called him a "troublemaker". After that Suen Huen talked about filming an emotional scenes with Jimmy Au Shui Wai (the character General Tao) and that they quickly got into it. Goo Jai again chimed in, "In other words you are and General Tao have a relationship, you mean." Suen Huen was so angry that she beat Goo Jai wildly, and Goo Jai could only respond, "You are always get physical." Later Suen Huen expressed her gratitude to Goo Jai at Au Wing Kuen's request, and enthusiastically gave him a "bear hug". Goo Jai stopped her dead on her tracks when he saw this, "Don't get physical!" "Don't touch me!" In the end the repeatedly rejected Suen Huen actually punched Goo Jai, which was very funny.

Speaking of classic NG outtakes of the drama "A STEP INTO THE PAST" that have been widely circulated to this day, in one Goo Jai made Suen Huen burst into laughter nonstop because of his strongly poke Suen Huen's chest. Suen Huen said that she still feels "aggrieved", "I laugh whenever I see it, and I guess I would laugh when I watch it thirty times or even a hundred times. He never treated me like a woman, maybe for him the strength was at four, but for me it was already at seven or eight." Goo Jai defended, "If a poke itself was not strong, it wouldn't be called a poke, it is called teasing." At the request of Au Wing Kuen he demonstrated "teasing" Suen Huen on the spot, and Suen Huen flexibly dodged when she saw this, "Don't tease me."

In addition to the fact that Suen Huen forgetting her line, Goo Jai also laughed and said that Suen Huen "couldn't stop talking for a minute". Faced with Goo Jai's series of attacks, Suen Huen once pouted in protest, but Goo Jai "struck back" by imitating her expression.

After a quarter of a century of waiting, the classic time-travel drama "A STEP INTO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI)" finally appeared on the big screen as the movie BACK TO THE PAST not only with original cast members Louis Koo Tin Lok (Goo Jai), Raymond Lam Fung, Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen), etc. but also added new characters Bai Baihe, Kevin Chu Kam Yin, Michael Miu Kiu Wai, Wu Yue, etc., to jointly interpret this legend that span time and space. The movie would not only carry the collective memories of the audience, but also continue the profound master- apprentice relationship and life philosophy in the series. Goo Jai and Lam Fung shared their filming experiences, as well as the persistence and cherishing behind this long wait. Both of them cherished this master-apprentice fate, Goo Jai praised Lam Fung's acting skills for improving and becoming mature, and said that if "BACK TO THE PAST" did well at the box office, he would be willing to make a sequel.

The movie BACK TO THE PAST was finally released after years of preparation. Also the director and star, Goo Jai said that he was very happy. "Over the years even if the movie has not been officially released, I have heard many people on the Internet say that the theme song would give them 'goosebumps' as soon as it plays and all the memories would come back. This drama is the first time-travel drama in Asia. As the originator of time-travel drama, being able to return with the original cast is not only a beautiful memory, but also a kind of commemoration." He revealed that he would relive it every two or three years, but the movie version was not a direct remake. Instead it told the story more than ten years later, focusing on the changes and fractures in the master-apprentice relationship between Hong Siu Lung and King of Qin Chiu Poon.

Lam Fung was also full of emotion. "I was moved, because it was really not easy. To be able to continue the story twenty years later and gather the original cast is all thanks to the persistence of the boss (Goo Jai)." He mentioned that the pressure did not come from the work of the past, but how to bring new breakthroughs and surprises while maintaining the audience's expectations in the continuation. "Goo Jai shared the first version of the story with me and Suen Huen many years ago, and I have been waiting for it until now. Although I waited for a few years, its release should be the best arrangement now."

In and out of the film, the two also continued their master- apprentice friendship. Lam Fung admitted that Goo Jai has always been his master. "Whether it is acting or how to deal with people, he has been teaching me by example. During filming I saw him juggling the heavy work of starring and producing, which was very hard but also powerful. He reminded us to do our duty well. (Were you overwhelmed by Goo Jai's aura on the set?) I've already gotten used to this, haha." Goo Jai praised Lam Fung's growth, "From being a rookie then to the present, he has continued to improve, become more mature and stable. This film is just like reality, everyone must learn to cherish it as they grow up, cherish the fate of master and apprentice, family and friendship."

In one scene they looked at each other and "cried" with real emotions. Lam Fung said that before the shoot they did not rehearse the scene, their emotions were natural and they only needed two takes to complete it. Due to the limited run time and in order to keep the pace, Koo Tin Lok said that many of the essence yet funny scenes were removed like him cooking a heart shaped steak for Suen Huen. He said that if the opportunity would arise these unreleased scenes would appear in another way, but he has not yet considered releasing an "extended version" because that would require inspection and take more time.

Speaking of the added new characters, such as the Miu Kiu Wai played villain, Goo Jai explained, "The film needs an actor with a commanding presence, which can not only make the audience feel that it is a continuation of the TV series, but also a new story many years later. He is the most suitable choice." As for bringing the original team together, he said that coordinating their schedules was not the most difficult. For example Tang Lai Ming also took leave to participate in the filming. Yet due to the large number of actors, the allocations of group and character scenes were indeed difficult. "Because the TV series had 40 episodes, it had a lot of time to explain the relationships, emotions, crises, etc. between each character; yet this time has been condensed into a movie, some roles would have the chance to be more while others less; this time focuses on the relationship between me and my two wives (Suen Huen and Kwok Sin Nei), as well as Lam Fung's family. This would be easier to deal with; but a group of villains have also been added, so there are really a lot of things to deal with."

The design of the action scenes combined the plot setting and the imagination of the times. Goo Jai pointed out, "The time machine in the story appeared in the 90s of the last century, as we envisioned the development of technology more than ten years later. There was no AI or robots at the time of filming, but we tried to create bold imagination within the limits."

Goo Jai and Lam Fung sang the new version of the theme song "The Highest Destiny", which became a hot topic. Once the "My Favorite Male Singer" award winner, has Goo Jai returned to the music scene? He said humorously, "I have never left the music scene, I can still win awards I have won again, haha!" He revealed that the opportunity came from everyone's enthusiastic response when he was a guest at Lam Fung's concert, with the momentum they later recorded a duet version of "Destiny". As for a sequel, he admitted that he would like to but it would depend on the box office. He emphasized that one would very rarely encounter a timeless work like "BACK TO THE PAST".

In addition, some online said that Suen Huen's appearance has changed the least among the cast like she had preservatives. Goo Jai joked that now a lot of food have added preservatives and everyone have had them. "If she really hasn't changed at all it would be frightening, so it's not that she hasn't changed but she has been well maintained. In my heart, everyone are still handsome guys and beautiful girls."

[2025.12.25] GIGI LEUNG LEARNS GIRL GROUP CHOREOGRAPHY FOR HER DAUGHTER AS A "TRENDY MOTHER"

The Gigi Leung Wing Kei and Peter Chan Charm Man starred inspirational movie PASS AND GOAL (YIK JUEN SEUNG BOON CHEUNG) would be released during Christmas, and the two were recently interviewed for the movie. Gigi said that because her husband's sister recently gave birth to a baby girl, she would accompany her husband to visit Spain during Christmas and for the publicity work she would depend on Chan Charm Man. However the preview screenings before the release had great word of mouth, so before departing she at least has attended a few audience appreciation screenings. Gigi said that her husband and daughter watched the movie with zero obstacles and praised it for being entertaining. She joked that she was a "trendy mother" who learned the girl group choreography to please her daughter.

The film used soccer as a metaphor for life, telling the story of how several protagonists bounced back from the bottom, overcame adversity and chased their dreams. The movie would be suitable for the entire families. Gigi said that she has previously invited a group of young actors she worked with on the ViuTV drama "THE PARENTS LEAGUE" to watch the movie. They were very happy after watching it and able to recommend it to other children and parents. Her daughter Sofia has also taken the lead in supporting it. After watching it she even sang its praises. "My daughter said, 'This movie is Mommy's most entertaining movie'." Chan Charm Man asked Gigi, "Has she seen all your works?" Gigi confessed, "She hasn't." Gigi also said that she would speak Cantonese to her daughter, so she would understand it. Even her husband, who did not know Chinese and needed to read the subtitles, praised it for being very entertaining.

Chan Charm Man jokingly pointed out that the movie would be able to break out of Hong Kong, and also pointed out that his wife and 4- year-old daughter both liked it after watching it. He even revealed that his daughter has visited the set during the filming, but she did not ask him why he was in a wheelchair. She just kept asking, "Is Locker (Lam Ka Hei) here?" He said jealously, "Because my daughter likes to watch "Trial and Error" on YouTube, she is infatuated with this man." He joked with his daughter that she has become Marf (Yau Yin Tung)'s romantic rival. "Luckily when she watched the movie she is still able to recognize me and Auntie Gigi. She is very happy from watching the movie." Gigi comforted Chan Charm Man and said that his daughter subconsciously really loved Papa, because Locker was thin and looked a bit like him? Chan Charm Man immediately reacted and said, "Are you kidding? He's so much more handsome."

As parents, would they find working with the numerous children easy this time? Chan Charm Man said, "I've never worked with a large group of children, but I enjoy it because I'm a big kid myself." With four nephews at home, he thought that he had a good relationship with children. "I always ask them if they are dating? Do you have a girlfriend? This is the best way to open up the topic. We would take verbal jabs at each other, with some dirty stuff in the middle. The topic must keep up with the trends, such as the recent trend of six seven (meaningless humor)."

Gigi pointed out that her daughter also said that someone in the school said it, but it actually had no meaning. Both believed that parents would need to catch up with the trends, and Gigi laughed and pointed out that her daughter has often "updated" her. "Because my daughter likes to sing K-pop, she would tell me what kind of Korean groups are in Korea. She likes to keep track of the names of Korean girl groups, write them all down, but she hasn't been as good with the multiplication table. When she really see those people, she would know exactly what group they are in, what their zodiac signs are, and what nationalities they are. I think that very obviously her interest is singing, plus she likes to dance. She has learned to dance K-pop, so I have to keep up with the trends. I have learned a few tricks to play around and satisfy my next daughter."

Would she encourage her daughter to pursue her dreams? Gigi believed that the most important thing as a parent would be to give her children the opportunity to try. "Let her try anything she wants, don't sink her as soon as she comes. Let go for the children to try. I am pretty open in this area, letting her choose freely. As for chasing dreams? Actually her interests in singing and dancing are obvious. I would explain to him whether she would be able to develop singing and dancing into a career in the future, which actually would depend on the fate and the era. So I don't think I need to think too much, just enjoy what she wants to do now."

Chan Charm Man also agreed with Gigi's opinion, but now that his daughter is still young so he would not need to think about this issue urgently. Instead the top priority would be to enroll his daughter in elementary school. "I want to abandon the concept of going to school wherever I live. It used to be simper, if you live in the district then you study in that district. Now we have to cross districts and enroll in interview classes." Gigi shared her experience as a person who has been there, suggesting that the most important thing would be to talk and accompany with her daughter more. That would already be the best interview class.

Leung Wing Kei said that 14 year old Chow Kei Yuet has a huge personality contrast. She would be more bashful during dramatic performance, so Gigi needed to guide her to pay more attention to interacting with her eyes. However when she played soccer she would turn into a goddess. Radiant with self confidence, she lived up to being a representative of the current Hong Kong U16 women's soccer team.

The Philip Ng Wan Lung starred movie THE SIXTH ROBBER held a special screening for friends the night before (23rd), and a group of fans supported him and asked him for autographs. Ng Wan Lung laughed and said that he invited many friends to attend, but none of them were available. His girlfriend Renee Li Man Ying was unable to attend either.

The film has no shortage of fighting scenes, and he revealed this time was one of the most serious injuries since he entered the industry. In one scene, he had to kick the door open between two moving cars and climb onto the roof. Everything went well during the rehearsal, but during the official filming he kicked open the door and was entangled in his foot by the strap of the prop gun on the ground. He was dragged for a while, and even the thick boots he was wearing were worn away. He recalled, "My foot was worn to the bone, so I stayed in the hospital for two weeks and underwent two surgeries to remove the rotten flesh and then cut the flesh on my thigh to fill it in." He was also grateful to the producer for arranging for him to shoot the dramatic scenes first after he was discharged from the hospital, and only filmed the fight scenes after he fully recovered.

In addition when asked about the actors having two months to train before filming the movie sequel TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI. JUNG JEUNG), Ng Wan Lung said, "In TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) my character Wong Gau is already done, so I would leave the fighting in the installment for other actors."

Recently he has been busy with the post productions of several films he took part in. This Christmas is the first Christmas after Ng Wan Lung and his girlfriend started dating. He said that he had no special celebration plans and planned to have a good rest.

[2025.12.25] LOUIS CHEUNG TAKES TO THE STREETS OF MONGKOK TO PROMOTE HIS NEW FILM

The Louis Cheung Kai Chung (Ah Chung) starred movie "GOLDEN BOY (GUM TUNG)" has exceeded HK$9 million at the box office since its release. In order to convey this belief, the night before Ah Chung appeared in Mong Kok as the owner of the "Golden Boy Boxing Gym", in the name of boxing gym recruitment, and took advantage of Christmas Eve to have fun with everyone. On the same day a group of fans caught wind of Ah Chung's appearance, queued up and waited in Mong Kok before he arrived. The scene was lively. Among them was a neighbor with a golden snake. When the "Golden Boy" meant the golden snake, Ah Chung took a photo and pretended to be startled when he saw the snake. Ah Chung even humorously asked the snake parent and his beloved golden snake to remember to buy two tickets when they go to the movies. Both animal and human would only be admitted with tickets. In addition to the golden snake, he also met a kung fu kid. The child posed with Ah Chung for a photo with the kung fu pose, which was very imposing. He then showed off a little on the spot.

Ah Chung appeared in the busy city to get close to fans, and he deeply felt everyone's support for him. "I have never taken to the street to promote a movie. Being in close contact with everyone so locally, I feel that I have lived up to the spirit of the Golden Boy spirit and persevered until this moment. Tonight (the day before) in Mong Kok I made a flash appearance at two locations in a row, and the process was very happy. Everyone greeted me and took photos, and I felt everyone's support for me. The emotions ewre very sincere, and it was a good experience."

Being in Mongkok brought back a lot of memories for Ah Chung. He said, "I have many memories of this street. Aside from the first time distributing flyers on the streets of Mong Kok tonight (the night before), I have also slept on the street while filming movies and shooting gang fight scenes around here. I have quite a sense of belonging in Mong Kok! Friends who were queuing up just now included familiar looking fans, young people, old friends, people about the same age as me, and people of different ages. I could fully feel their enthusiasm and support for me."
