Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin and Pakho Chau in the Emperor Motion Picture 77 HEARTBREAKS 2 (YUEN LEUNG TA 77 CHI) had a kiss scene in bed. They might look romantic on camera but actually they did not get to enjoy it. In the scene Ah Sa kissed Pakho Chau on the cheek. Because the shoot took place late at night, Pakho who just worked all night and had the flu fell asleep in bed and was not lucky enough to enjoy Ah Sa's kiss. Pakho said, "Because earlier I worked all night for two nights in a row, I really was very sleepy. That scene happened to take place in bed, so it was very attractive. I unknowingly fell asleep!"

Ah Sa joked that she was not that bad and jokingly yelled at Pakho for "missing out". However, actually Ah Sa was also "fell" under the "night night" curse that night. She said, "Because it was very late and I was very tired, while waiting to take my mark I fell asleep too."

As for the kiss scene in bed with Pakho, Ah Sa stated that it was not awkward at all. Instead before hand she took full precaution against "getting sick". "Before the shoot I brushed my teeth. In addition, because Pakho Chau had a little flu, a few days before the shoot I drank vitamin C everyday in hopes of resisting the germs. I still got it from him in the end."

Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Joyce Cheng Yun Yi, BabyJohn Choi Hong Yik, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui and director Kearen Pang Sau Wai attended the film 29+1's celebration last night. Boss Stephen Shiu Jr. presented belated birthday cakes to Yun Yi and Sister Na. Director Pang thanked the team for their contribution to the film. Her words of appreciation got Yun Yi teary eyed.

Just finished the Dongguan audience appreciation, Yun Yi happily said that its Hong Kong and Macau box office was over HK$ 10.02 million and felt very proud to be a part of the film. She even suggested making 39+1 5 years later, as she hoped the director would give her another chance.

Sister Na just took a new film role with Max Zhang Jin. She would play a drug addicted bar maid. Although in the film she would not have a lot of stunts, she had to take a beating. Mob boss Kevin Cheng Ka Wing had to slap her. As for sexy performance, Sister Na said, "Yes, the film was a 60's story. The bar maid all wore short sleeves and shorts, even sexier than modern clothing. However my character sold drinks and not sex. I only found out about Cheng Ka Wing slapping me from the script. If I saw him I would tell him to show mercy."

Louis Cheung Kai Chung who just ate nearby came over to chat with Chin Kwok Wai.

Kwan Hing said that the film had many party scenes and felt just like a bachelorette party. After the wrap she will stop working to prepare for her wedding and rebuild healthy life habits. She will be in her university classmate's wedding party to pick up experience for her own wedding. Kwan Hing said that she did not deliberately lose weight, the production has been tough and she was not worried about not being able to "carry" the wedding gown. She also wanted her waist to be thinner to be closer her past character Thurman's great shape. She said that in college she was a much better drinker. How about her fiance? Kwan Hing said, "No way! After drinking a little he would be like he has food poisoning, he would be all red like a cherry! (You don't have to worry about him going out!) That's right! That's pretty good! Thank you Jesus for giving me such a good husband!"

Yui Yui revealed that she would be responsible for the sexy portion. As soon as she got drunk she would take off her clothes. She said, "I don't know why I would so easily take off my clothes, then fling it all around. In real life I definitely wouldn't be like this, after I get drunk I would fall asleep." In addition, earlier she was caught with a storage place boss. Yui Yui clarified that he was just a friend. They were talking about a storage sponsorship. They had no chance at all.

Rumored to spread his wings in the film industry, Goo Jai said that he had no detail and asking female stars to work with him was the director's call.

Currently working on a film in Shenzhen, Koo Tin Lok said that he began working with Yau Nai Hoi in as early as 1999. 18 years flew by. He was not only Goo Jai's good friend but also his teacher, teaching him a lot of film theories and story structure. Goo Jai benefit much from him.

Speaking of rumors that Goo Jai will make 8 movies, he said, "I didn't see the report, I have no idea myself." As for his interest in getting Natalie Tong Sze Wing for a movie, Goo Jai said, "Probably no, no. Actually I am an actor too, the director has to decide that."

Always wanted to make another television series, Goo Jai said that he would consider any good script. However his work schedule this year was already jam packed. Now he has to commute between Shenzhen and Beijing between jobs. Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) wanted to work with GOo Jai again. He said that he too wanted to work with her, whether in film or on television. When someone suggested that Goo Jai could ask Suen Huen to star in BACK TO THE PAST, the film version of STEP INTO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI), he again said that he had to ask the director since he was only an actor.
