(7/28/2008) Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) yesterday attended a shopping
center event. Siu Chai lately has been working on the Johnnie TO Kei Fung
directed new film UM SAT (ASSASSINATION). He said that the film has
already been in production for a year but it still has not wrapped.
Earlier he has changed costume three times. Siu Chai joked that he has
complained to the director about the duration of the shoot and that he
did not know how many of his films he would be able to make in his
lifetime. However, Siu Chai also would like to be able to make a good
award winning film.

* (7/27/2008) Prudence Lau Mei Kwun, 2R's Race, Sherming Yiu Lok Yi and
Monie Tung Man Lei attended the Herman Yau Lai To directed NGOR BUT MAI
SUN NGOR MAI JI GUNG (I DON'T SELL BODY I SELL UTERUS) wrap banquet. One
of the actors Anthony Wong Chau Sun was absent due to voice work. Race
has just returned from working on the film SHANGHAI in Thailand. The film
also starred Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li. Fat Gor earlier even claimed that
2R in the film would be his mistresses. Race pointed out that actually
she would not have too many intimate or kiss scene with Fat Gor. So far
she still has not had the chance to work with either of her idols. Yet
she has seen Gong Li on the set and felt very envious of her great skin
and figure.

Lau Mei Kwun in the film played a prostitute and did not wear any
make up for her performance. She said that after the performance her self
confidence has greatly increased and dared to appear with her real face.
She honestly said that after making this film her acting bug has been
acting up, perhaps because Wong Chau Sun said to her, "How can this bad
girl go on without acting for so long!" Chau Sun also pointed out that
he has had a story that could not find a suitable female lead. Now he
realized that it was very right for her and has prepared to start
production. She believed that Chau Sun would direct personally but she
would first spend the summer vacation with her children in the U.S.
