The action film PARADOX (SAT POR LONG TAM LONG) will open on the 25th in Hong Kong. PARADOX used SPL and SPL 2's team with one after another close combat fights that challenged the audience's eyes. Director Wilson Yip Wai Shun also put a lot of thought into this story. In the film Louis Koo Tin Lok and daughter Hanna Chan, Wu Yue and his Thai wife not only had the audience grinding their teeth but also challenged their tolerance for fears. The song THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART motivated Wu Yue and at the same time moved Koo Tin Lok.
Once Gold Label music producer, the film's producer Paco Wong after the first cut invited them to sing. Paco said, "PARADOX's fight scenes are definitely exciting! Yet this time 'love' also tugs at the heart strings. After watching the film I really want Koo Tin Lok and Wu Yue to be able to personally perform and touch people's hearts."
The duo performed a duet of THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART, which was also a big bright spot in the film. The film company naturally invested heavily on the production. Famous Hong Kong musicians Walter Wong and Gary Chan worked on the song, as well as Koo Tin Lok's past record producer Chan Fai Yeung; Gary said, "The duet of Koo Tin Lok and Wu Yue coordinates the film. We want to have a contrast of the strong and the gentle with Wu Yue's more musculine voice and Koo Tin Lok's gentle performance. The song arrangement is tender and comfortable, with real string performance so the entire song has more dimensions and stands out more."
Due to work, Koo and Wu had to record in Hong Kong and Beijing separately. The first time singer for a film Wu Yue said, "In the film my wife due to her mother likes this song. When we run into trouble as a couple we would support and encourage each other with this song. It is our love theme song. It also affects Koo Tin Lok, so singing THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART is particularly suitable for the story. I truly never thought that Koo Tin Lok's singing would be very entertaining. I hope to have a chance to sing with him again because this song is recorded separately."
Koo Tin Lok due to his complete trust for the director and the producer went to the recording studio again. "When Paco suggested a duet for me and Wu Yue, I agreed very quickly. Because anyone who has seen the film would naturally understand the purpose of the song; I have heard this song since I was little, the recording naturally wasn't too hard. Very quickly I was already able to grasp it."

 | | Gordon Lam says that he keeps cursing in the film because a lot of the Thai dialogue sound like Cantonese foul language |
 | Gordon Lam has no action scene in PARADOX
courtesy of mingpao.com |
From out of the oven Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor Gordon Lam Ka Tung had to speak a lot of Thai in the film PARADOX (SAT POR LONG TAM LONG), but some of the Thai sounded like Cantonese foul language, thus during rehearsal he already felt somewhat hard to say. During the shoot he had other scripts that he had to prepare for, he did not have a lot of time to practice. Finally during the shoot he had half a page of Thai dialogue and he would had four or five bad times, but even Thai people thought that he was 80% close.
This time speaking Thai was one of the great challenges for Ka Tung, but when he saw his co-stars Tony Jaa and Louis Koo Tin Lok's fight series he felt it was even tougher. Ka Tung has already begun work on another new film, in which he had stunts too. Then he has already been running and dieting. Every morning he would only have corn. Ka Tung said, "It's for work! The character has to have facial hair and I can't be fat. During this period I have already lost 6 to 8 pounds. I was 160 pounds at my fattest, because after the Hong Kong Film Awards I had a lot of celebration dinners. I hope to be able to lose to 150 pounds!" Ka Tung revealed that in the new film he will play a good guy. He said, "This time I have a lot of pressure because I haven't played a good guy for 3 years. This time I turn good and play a good cop!" This film was the first film he took after winning Best Actor. Did he get a raise? He said that Paco Wong said that he would know what to do, but he still has not seen a contract yet!

 | | Tiffany Hsu is confident that THE TAG ALONG 2 will be able to surpass the first film at the box office |
 | | TIffany Hsu darkens her eye make up for her character |
 | Rainie Yang joins the cast and makes the story richer
courtesy of mingpao.com |
THE TAG ALONG two days ago because a hit in Taiwan. Its cast decided to follow up with a sequel and added Rainie Yang, Francesca Kao and others to make the story richer. Tiffany Hsu said, "The first film left for the audience to guess whether she left her sister? The second film revealed that she did not, the Rainie played social worker joined in because her daughter was missing as well. Rainie while trying to find her daughter found me in an abandoned hospital. This time the character was heavier, the mental state was very unstable because she could tell the real world from the fake one; she also had to look possessed so the challenge was enormous."
She stated that this shoot was very tiring and even described the film as one that she risked her life to make. Before hand she forced herself to conduct odd experiments as she went home and repeatedly asked herself who she was in front of the mirror. She also read a lot of books and information online to understand what were "split personality" and "possession". Tiffany Hsu revealed, "The shoot was exhausting. When I was dead tired on the set, I closed my eyes to tell what I couldn't see on the set inside -- enter my body! By the end of the shoot I really wanted to finish the film successfully. Horror film is different from romantic film, I really haven't experienced the situation. I did all the homework to prepare; on the set I could only rely on them that I couldn't see, to invite them to enter my body." Tiffany Hsu stated that she invited them into her body but did not invite them to leave. Earlier a friend who was sensitive to the supernatural realized something was strange as she had something next to her. Later the friend invited a master to cleanse her. She however did not feel anything special.
To display the character's state of mind, Tiffany Hsu during make up had to darken the circles around her eyes, teeth and fingernails. She even shaved half her eyebrows. Was she confident that it would surpass the first film at the box office? She said, "Yes. Because this time the production period was very short, only 35 days, everyone was very focused on the shoot. It was very tough. I hope even more people would be able to see it. This is not a horror film that just scares people, the second half is very touching and has a message for the audience. (Would you challenge the Golden Horse Award again?) It would be great if I get to, ultimately this time I risked my life for the performance. I was almost dead!" Tiffany Hsu stated that she was exhausted physically and mentally so she wanted to relax with a comedy and romance first. She said, "I am not afraid of being typecast, but my body and my mind can't handle any more. I am too tired! I know my good friend Ruby Lin is preparing a television series in Taiwan. We have talked about working together but nothing has been decided."

Andy Lau Tak Wa yesterday promoted his film THE ADVENTURERS (HUP DOH LUEN MUN) in Taiwan, his first trip there since his injury. Wa Jai said with a smile, "I really am back! I really am no different from before." Wa Jai also got hurt in THE ADVENTURERS, he stated that he would get hurt only befcause he loved to play.
Lau Tak Wa yesterday appeared in Taiwan for the first time since his January fall from a horse to promote the Stephen Fung Tak Lun directed new film THE ADVENTURERS. Taiwan artist Tony Yang was also on hand. During the press conference, Wa Jai looked energetic and even kept making fun poses for the media to take photos.
Wa Jai greeted the media with a handsome smile and said, "I really am back! I really am no different from before."
Wa Jai continued, "First I really have to thank everyone, during this period you worry about me so much. My Hong Kong doctor kept telling me to be careful! Not to appear in so many public places! However I really want to come back to see everyone, to tell everyone that I am much better now, so today I am standing here."
"In addition earlier everyone rumored that I turned very thin. They even went to pray for me, but I was in Hong Kong, properly resting for 6 months. I am already 95% better, and I only felt how fast time flew. Under everyone's concern during this half a year, everyday I was very fortunate and very happy. Everyday I was exercising, I got into even better shape, thank you!"
Wa Jai also got hurt during THE ADVENTURERS shoot. He explained that he only got hurt because he loved to play. "At the time I was on a metal net, I moved to look more handsome but I overdid it and hit my head."
Wa Jai in the film played a master thief, did he want to steal anything in real life? He said that now he has everything, he would not need to steal anything. Yesterday although Shu Qi was not present, her husband Fung Tak Lun did not forget to show off their love as he claimed that he stole Shu Qi's heart. Thus he had nothing good left to steal. Tony Yang wanted to steal one thing. Because his bank passbook was with his mother, he hoped to steal the stamp back.
In the film Tony Yang wanted to kiss Shu Qi but was slapped. Tony Yang felt that "at the time he probably could have kissed". Then Wa Jai joked, "She is married already, did you just overthink it?" Everyone laughed.
In the film Wa Jai and Zhang Jingchu had a kiss scene. Why would he agree to it? Wa Jai joked, "Zhang Jingchu agreed so I agreed too". Then he said that the kiss scene actually was set up for Tony Yang to show the contrast of him being slapped and show his funny side. Fung Tak Lun was asked if he had any special feeling with his wife during the shoot. He said that they have known each other for over 20 years, they really had no difference.

 | Charlene Choi works with Tong Dawei on her new film
courtesy of on.cc |
Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin earlier with Mainland star Tong Dawei worked on the new film MURDER IN SAN JOSE (SING HOR SAI MAU SAT ON). Ah Sa had to run on feet sticking mud while yelling at Tong Dawei. Director Clarence Poon Yuen Leung praised her performance as just right. "Ah Sa grasped this scene very well. The not so ideal surrounding environment didn't affect her, her performance was very outstanding."
The film earlier started production in Vancouver, Canada, Ah Sa, Tong Dawei, Dominic Lam Ka Wa and Poon Yuen Leung appeared. Due to the numerous foreigners Lam Ka Wa and Poon Yuen Leung attentively taught them the details of the worship ceremony.
Ah Sa said that her character was very different from before. "Actually this film is very everyday life, but as it develops slowly some heart pounding stories would appear. In the end everything explodes. The character's state of mind changes a lot, it has to be grasped very precisely." The film was based on famous Hong Kong playwriter Chong Mui Ngan's play of the same name. After last year's HEAVEN IN THE DARK with Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and Karena Lam Ka Yun, the film company again adapted another one of Chong's plays. Aside from Vancouver, the film will also shoot on location in the U.S., Hong Kong, and Shenzhen and is expected to complete production by September.
