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 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

Kary Ng and band Hardpack continued their retro look and shoot cover for their new album. They dressed up as nurse and lunatics, making the studio to look like a nuthouse. Kary wore a see-through nurse outfit and held a syringe in her hand. Hardpack members each played different kinds of lunatics and they were very into their characters. Staff joked if they don't group as a band, they can be actors. Kary expressed it was happy during the making of this album. In the beginning she worried the company would reject them using nuthouse as the concept for their album cover, but they received support in the end. They hope to bring a fresh feeling to everyone.

Miriam Yeung fears Real Ting jealous, not inviting Louis Koo to concert

Miriam Yeung fears Real Ting jealous, not inviting Louis Koo to concert

Miriam Yeung will be holding her first Hong Kong Coliseum concert in October since her marriage. Yesterday the organizers announced that 1 more show is added, making it a 5 show concert in total. It proves that Miriam protected her pop queen status despite becoming Mrs. Ting.

Miriam will not tolerate lost, she will first invite Eason Chan as her guest performer, but does not want to bother Louis Koo, who she was once rumored with. Clearly, she does not want to make Real Ting jealous, being a responsible wife to her husband.

Tickets sold out

Pre-order of tickets to Miriam's concert is full, the e-ticket system is also jammed. Fans have to wait in line to buy tickets for 28 hours for front seats. For this reason, the organizers decided to add another show. Miriam laughed: "Wah! I really found out I'm still good to have after opening this concert!" Towards opening her first concert after marriage, Miriam expressed that there is some emotional barrier. Although there is still pressure, she has confidence that she will do her best. Asked if marriage gave her more energy? Miriam said: "Of course when one reaches this stage in life, one will feel better emotionally. Facing any type of situation, would be more peaceful and calm."

Inviting Eason Chan as guest

Miriam did not avoid inviting very old rumored boyfriend Eason Chan, but the rumor that made the most noise was Louis Koo. She does not want to bother him: "I want to invite Eason to be my guest because we debuted the same year, we have resonance, but he has a busy schedule, not sure if this can happen." About inviting Louis to her solo concerts before, Miriam said: "I saw him earlier, he suggested that he could be the guest. Honestly, last time the concert gave me an unforgettable memory, but this time I don't want to bother him. He is very busy filming movies, but I do hope he'll come to the show." Is she afraid that Real will be unhappy? "It does not have anything to do with Mr. Ting. One thing I really like about Mr. Ting is that he does not ask me about work."

Couple no disputes, gets along smoothly

It was rumored that Miriam separated from her husband before the show? "Huh? I don't know about this. I am a 30+ married woman, I am 10 years late compared to those 20 year olds, I should chase after the 10 years I lost. (Why would two people living in the same house be separated?) Are you guys (the media) hiding underneath the house peeping? (Do you guys have any disputes after marriage?) No! I am completely focused on my concert preparations. Mr. Ting supports me greatly. A friend is helping me do the wedding reception stuff, so I don't want to cause too much trouble because I am not good at those things. (Only care about the wedding dress?) Yes, plus I am busy with the concert. I want to add more shows, but I don't know who would order tickets anymore."
