Moses Chan doing nose bleed scene several times in Central

Moses Chan has been busy shooting for TVB new series , last night the cast were in the SOHO district in Central filming. At the scene, it was seen that Moses who was sitting in the car after getting attacked by someone, he looked injured. In order to get the nose bleed effect, a worker stuck some red liquid up Moses nose. When it was officially time to film, Moses was unable to push out the 'pretend blood' from his nose at the right time, he would often start bleeding before the cameras rolled, sometimes the bleeding did not flow smoothly out. As a result, Moses had to do the scene many times, almost using all of the red liquid before the Director said it was okay.

Then, Moses changed into a suit and arrived at Happy Valley with Maggie Siu to shoot an arguing scene. The two were filming in front of a restaurant, while Maggie asked Moses: "What are you doing?", Moses did not look directly at her and seems to be looking elsewhere.

Timmy Hung feels Fala Chen's bra scene is not a big deal

Timmy Hung and Andy Hui were at the Tsing Yi Sports Ground yesterday and played on behalf of the Dawn Star soccer team. Timmy's performance was courageous and during the fight for the ball with the other team, he fell down. Timmy's partner Andy Hui said that he's not fit enough.

Towards him falling down during the game, Timmy did not give up: "Kicking ball is like that, I don't mind. Most important is happiness! Andy and I are pretty compatible. (Andy said that he's not fit enough!) Maybe he's implying that I'm not fit enough. Actually I already played a game before this, the opponents were in the army. I think I had enough exercise for today. (How do you feel about the Fala revealing bra scene in 'The Stew of Life' becoming a hot topic?) Actually many people saw it! I feel that it's really nothing, it's not like she was in a lace bra and it wasn't anything like porn. She also did not reveal anything really, how come bikinis are acceptable then? Hong Kong is quite conservative, whatever angle we use to look at this, it is all our personal issue. I'm saying we are not trying to win the ratings and made Fala reveal anything."

Andy expressed: "I need to lose some weight, it's not for our 4 good brothers (Edmond Leung, William So, Hins Cheung) concert, its me personally who thinks I'm not fit enough. But for our concert, we still have not decided on several things, for the title I hope there is some uniqueness, could be called the Oldies Team!"

There was a rumor that Bosco Wong once wooed after Toby Leung, but because he failed, thus he returned to coax Myolie Wu back.

Today, Bosco attended the National Day Celebration show in Macau, and said in exasperation, "It's old news. Back then, when I was filming a drama with Toby, we already had rumors. Now, the rumors are starting again. I'm good friends with both ladies."

Myolie Wu, who's present at the event as well, carried the same tone as she expressed that she's good friends with Bosco Wong. She hoped that the media and outsiders can stop spreading her rumors with Bosco.

Ang Lee Looks Forward to Tony Leung's Yip Man

Ang Lee's 'Taking Woodstock' screened in Hong Kong for the first time the day before yesterday. Attendees at the premiere included Tony Leung, who had earlier broken his left arm practicing Wing Chun while preparing to film Wong Kar Wai's 'The Grand Master'. As for his thoughts on the disappointing box office results for his film, Ang Lee says he doesn't have an answer for it and doesn't find it necessary to look for one either. Instead, he greatly praised Tony as an actor and looks forward to his portrayal of Yip Man.

Ang Lee's 'Taking Woodstock' screened the night before yesterday at The Grand Cinema. Karena Lam, Jacqueline Chong, Chrissie Chow and Chin Ka Lok attended the screening. As well, Tony Leung, who had collaborated with Ang Lee in 'Lust, Caution' also came to the screening. When Ang Lee saw Tony, he immediately approached him and gave him a hug. The two conversed with each other quite animately. Were they talking about plans for another collaboration? Tony laughs saying he doesn't know the chances of working with him in the future, as Ang Lee has been concentrating on Western (Hollywood) films. Tony admits that he came to the screening to support Ang Lee. He says: "I met Ang Lee back during the Cannes Festival. The movie played at there, but I had other committments that day so I couldn't attend. Tonight will hopefully make up for it."

Proud of New Film, Not Worrying About the Box Office Results

As for failing to achieve ideal ratings at the box office? Tony says: "It's hard to say. For me, making a movie is all about enjoying the process. The most important thing is being happy and excited about the movie itself. The box office results and the audiences' reception is hard to predict. If it does well at the box office and the audience enjoys it, then that's really a bonus." Ang Lee says he doesn't feel the need to inquire as to why the movie failed at the box office. He says that: "I personally think the film is very good and I'm proud of this film. I don't know if it lack the spark to captivate the audience. I hope my next movie will be better."

How about Tony acting in 'The Grand Master'? Ang Lee says Tony has the ability to play any role because he's the best actor out there. He believes Tony's Yip Man will be different from Donnie Yen's version. He says: "I'm looking forward to it, especially because Wong Kar Wai is directing the movie and Yuen Woo Ping is in charge of the martial arts choreography."

As for Tony who broke his left arm while preparing to film 'The Grand Master', he says that his injury has almost completely healed. What about the reports that Zhang Ziyi will be playing the role of his wife? Tony says he doesn't know as he hasn't received any news on that front. Is she suitable for the role of Yip Man's wife? Tony says: "It's not really about whether she's suitable or not. Different people in the role will produce different results."

No Plans in the Works to Collaborate with Zhang Ziyi Again

Ang Lee attended a lecture yesterday at a university campus. He was very humourous with his talk and earned a huge round of applause from the students. Later backstage he accepted an interview and revealed that the audiences' reaction at the first screening was quite good, better than in the States. Will he collaborate again with Zhang Ziyi? He says that right now there are no plans, but the two often keep in touch. When asked whether Ang Lee is aware of Zhang Ziyi's current relationship status and of whether or not her relationship with her boyfriend has changed? Ang Lee says that he has never asked her about her relationship. He laughs saying that every time his sees her out in public she is dressed very elegantly and has become quite sophisticated. It's very different than what he remembered when they met for the first time.

Leila’s basketball skill is not as good as her junior’s

Leila Tong, who has a great interest in singing all along, sang a duet with Bonald Leung recently. In order to perform in the best shape, Leila, using the ‘trainer’ identity, brought Bonald to the gym to train. However, she then realised that her exercising cells are not as strong as Bonald’s, making her really embarrassed.

In these two years, Leila has been training in the gym secretly. Apart from making her body shape even better, she also hopes that this can help to train her lungs in order to venture into the music industry in the future. Having released an album of her own, Leila recently sang a love duet with Bonald Leung. She even revealed that there were lots of funny things going on when she was recording with Bonald. She said,”I treat him as my younger brother, thus it’s really funny that we have to sing a love duet and I can’t hold my laughter every time. When we sing the next time, I won’t dare to look at him in the eyes, just in case it becomes funny and that won’t be good!”

Feeling inferior due to bad skills

Leila feels that Bonald is shy and weak, thus she used her status as a senior to bring this little brother to work in the gym. However, when they were playing the basketball machine, Leila realised that her junior’s exercise cells were better than hers, making her really embarrased. Leila said, “When we were doing warm ups and working on the machines, I was still teaching him very well. However, when it comes to the basketball machine, the difference can be seen and his stamina is much better than me. I really feel very inferior! But it’s okay, guys and girls are different so I won’t blame myself.”

Seeing how depressed his senior looked, Bonald immediately sweettalked her, making her smile again, “You are still more capable, I still have lots of things to learn from you.”
