Louis Cheung Kai Chung earlier worked on the promotional film for his new film THE SINKING CITY: CAPSULE ODYSSEY (SAI FONG GIK LOK ji TAI BAU TAI JI TAI HUNG CHONG) and stepped into a hourly hotel in Jordan to mess around in the theme rooms! Ah Chung went into a MTR train and a woman's client theme rooms and said that the hourly hotel had a lot of ideas. He immediately pretended to take the train and picked up the phone in the room to mess around. Reporters asked why would a train have a phone. He said, "You have to call the front desk for more time!" Soon he ran into the woman's client theme room, picked up a stethoscope and played doctor.

Ah Chung and Joyce Cheng Yun Yi in the film played a young couple. Due to the "land supply" problem their sex life has been unpleasant. Thus Ah Chung put on a mask and disguise to visit hourly hotels in various districts in hopes of resolving his needs. Was it his first visit to a hourly hotel? "Of course it's the first time. It's pretty good to be an actor, I can see stuff that normally I don't get to see!" Would he "report" what he saw to his wife Kay Tse On Kay? He said, "Probably not! Don't bring work home after work. We may think it's funny, but my wife may not."

In addition, the film two days ago released a few outtakes. In the film Ah Chung wanted to take his girlfriend Yun Yi to a "space capsule" but she said no. Suddenly Andrew Lam Man Chung appeared and told dirty jokes, cracking up both of them and Bob Lam Sing Bun. Only Pakho Chau was serious enough without any intention to laugh.

Alex Man Chi Leung, Carrie Ng Ka Lai, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Michael Ning (Bak Ji), Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling, Venus Wong Man Yik two nights ago attended their film ZOMBIOLOGY: ENJOY YOURSELF TONIGHT (GUM MAN DA SONG SI)'s premiere.

Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung came to support his girlfriend and his producer friend. They were working on opening a company together, so personally and professionally he had to show his support. Speaking of Wong Man Yik, Tsang Kwok Cheung joked that finally he saw his girlfriend's wedding gown look. However he admitted that he had no plan to wed yet, his parents also have not rushed him. As long as they were happy they were OK. He said, "When I was little I often said why do I have to get married. I wouldn't believe in marriage. So Mommy have already given up on me in this area. Now she is already very happy to see me in a stable relationship."

Speaking of Tsang Kwok Cheung's production company, it is already heating up. He stated, "If the character is suitable, I would ask my girlfriend to perform. However I wouldn't deliberately tailor one for her. (Would you perform together?) I want to if it is right. I also want to write a script with Daddy (Eric) Tsang Chi Wai. He still has a director's dream, but it is very hard for him to free up a few months to do something. If he wants to do it I would definitely support him."

The team conducted an "boss egg fight" ceremony. Everyone except director Lo Wai Lun drew cooked eggs. The director drew a raw egg and had to crack it with his head. Bak Ji took an egg for girlfriend Ngan Cheuk Ling, who slammed the egg on Bak Ji's forehead. He cringed but later said that it did not hurt. He said that since they were both mild mannered, normally he would not hit Ngan Cheuk Ling.

Ngan Cheuk Ling played a couple with Cheung Kai Chung in the film. Bak Ji said that he was not jealous. Instead when Ngan Cheuk Ling hug him, Cheung Kai Chung would get jealous. Ngan Cheuk Ling said, "They are always flirting on the set. They would hold hands. I would just ignore them."

Artists Andrew Lam Man Chung, Bob Lam Sing Bun, Louis Cheung Kai Chung and Jacquelin Chong Sze Man earlier wrapped up production on their new film THE SINKING CITY: CAPSULE ODYSSEY (SAI FONG GIK LOK: TAI BAU, TAI JI, TAI HUNG CHONG). In the story they got into a car accident. When it flipped, Lam Man Chung's head hit Chong Sze Man's chest, which made him spit from all the pain!

Chong Sze Man said that the scene was not awkward and praised Lam Man Chung as humorous. "I have never worked with Master. He is very nice, very funny. This time the character is pretty interesting, a spoiled rich girl without a single brain cell. She would show off how rich she is and ends up getting kidnapped. In the process she runs into several space capsule roommates. After they rescue her they run into a lot of accidents." Film company boss Stephen Shiu Jr. and the co-funding company iQiyi representative both showed their support in person and celebrated the production wrap with the team with champagne.

Gillian Chung Yun Tung, Julian Cheung Chi Lam and Mei Ting starred in the horror film THE CINEMA THAT NEVER DIES, which released its latest poster. The actors lay in coffins. Ah Gil even transformed into a "ghost bride" in a Chinese wedding gown, but with her were a dead infant and placenta.

Speaking of her costume, Ah Gil said, "This time is probably my eeriest costume and the most exhausting performance. In order to please my husband, I have a ghost infant to vie for attention with his wife. During the shoot the decorated already scared many people from walking around alone. Seeing the ghost infant and the coffin poster is even more bone chilling."

In one week t already made almost 40 million RMB. The performance encouraged the team. Ah Sa earlier went to Foshan for an audience appreciation event. The audience even enthusiastically screamed that they wanted to watch it 77 times.

In addition, the film shot on location in Japan. The leads while visiting Japan got into an argument. The shoot went very smooth and luckily wrapped up the day earlier than expected. The team had an extra day off and took the chance to sightsee. Ah Sa and Pakho could not be happier.

Ah Sa teamed up with Mainland Best Actor Ge You in the Emperor Lunar New Year comedy PASSED OUT, which earlier held a Beijing press conference and announced that it will be released in the Mainland in 2018. The film began with "passing out" from drinking. Everyone shared their interesting "passed out" experience. Ge You said that he would only sleep when he got drunk. Yue Yunpeng said that he would cry when he drank a lot. Bao Beier would grab people to talk about the script and hard sell the film. Du Chun just stated that he "couldn't say" to lead to endless imagination from everyone.

The Chinese American co-financed action film THE FOREIGNER will open in October, with CASINO ROYAL's director Martin Campbell and former "James Bond" Pierce Brosnan. After the poster was released last week, two days ago the first trailer appeared.

THE FOREIGNER was based on English writer Stephen Leather's 1992 novel THE CHINAMAN. In the flm Jackie Chan played a London Chinatown restaurant boss. One day when he dropped his daughter at school, he witnessed her death at the hands of a Irish Republican Army bomb. To avenge his daughter, he decided to personally catch the culprit. During his investigation he realized that the Pierce Brosnan played politician actually had a connection with the terrorists. Thus he began his revenge plan.

Jackie Chan said that the new film meant a great deal for him. "This character was rather serious, required a lot of emotional investment. So when I prepared for it, I imagined myself to be the father. If I faced the same situation what would I do?"
