Nick Cheung shooting bed scene, first notifies beloved wife

Nick Cheung shooting bed scene, first notifies beloved wife

Nick Cheung stars in EEG's film The Stool Pigeon (綫人) . In one of the scenes, he has to film a intense bed scene. Nick frankly said that he really had to risk everything for filming. Rarely shooting bed scenes, Nick is sacrificing a lot of this movie, he laughed and said that there really wasn't such scene in the past, rather he often did funny stuff. He joked that this time the director really "benefited" him, but he actually had no luck to bear, he likes to act in movies that require the inner heart.

He recalls filming the scene, admitting that he currently still sweating! He said: "Because I was not familiar with that actress, so to complete the scene faster, we communicated with each other before filming and tried to avoid too much body contact. Fortunately the director accepted the first take." He is thankful of his wife Esther Kwan for giving him the support and absolute trust. Before filming, he told her about it and she was extremely understanding. Director Dante Lam praised that Nick was able to go forward and make it natural.

Gigi Leung: Ekin Cheng's kids will be very cute

Yesterday Gigi Leung did a radio interview and towards the rumors of Ekin Cheng and Yoyo Mung ready for marriage, Gigi is happy for her old lover: "I am the happiest that he's getting married! (The happiest?) There is a problem with being happy for someone?" Asked if she follows Ekin on Weibo? Gigi said: "I am not answering you, you can see it for yourself. (Have any private messages?) I follow him personally more than on Weibo." When Gigi gets married in the future, will she invite Ekin to her wedding? Gigi said: "When the future comes, then I'll think about it. I hope he will quickly have a baby soon, his babies should be very cute."

Speaking of Gillian Chung stealing the first position for having the most followers on Weibo? Gigi expressed that she only knows that both of them have more than a million followers, but didn't pay attention to the exact numbers. Some people have offered her jobs through private messages, but one of the bad side is that there are many fans asking for her advice on love. She has become the "Mrs. Mut Mut's Mailbox".

Steven Ma understands the suffers of a firemen


Steven Ma understands the suffers of a firemen

Steven Ma and Elaine Yiu arrived at the fire department training school for recording of TVB game show Neighborhood Treasures 2: Summer Fun. For the game, Steven and Elaine had to collectively carry a 25 pound "sand bag dummy" for a hurdle. Eventually they comfortably passed the test, but later Steven had to carry a 120 pound dummy. Once Steven tried, he could not help but to admire the firemen: "Turns out it's really heavy, I can imagine in a real fire, have to rescue a 100+ pound unconscious person, that is something hard to do!"

Also, Steven injured his right eye a few years ago due to filming, to avoid too much sun exposure and having to lose his retina, Steven had to wear super protection sunglasses
