Although Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Zhou Xun immediately put out the fire of a romantic rumor by stressing that they were just ordinary friends and neighbors and not living together, two nights ago Joey Yung Cho Yi and Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin both joked that Ting Fung loved girls with a Beijing accent and seemed to have given him a vote of no confidence despite Ting Fung moving into a new home in a high profile manner. Zhou Xun actually stayed in Hong Kong recently to secretly make OVERHEARD 3 (SIT TING FUNG WON III). Once saying that she had to rest for awhile and not make a movie, she made an exception for a Hong Kong film. Indeed her love belonged to Hong Kong.

Tse Ting Fung and Zhou Xun were rumored to be in love. Because most of the 33 year old Ting Fung's significant others were older than him, outsiders felt that Zhou Xun being 5 years older than Ting Fung was no problem.

However Ting Fung also moved out of her old home in a high profile manner. Even with the paparazzi on his tail he still went to his HK$160,000 a month new home. Seemingly he wanted to prove that they were just friends, or he wanted to divert attention to make the relationship a secret one.

Yesterday a magazine depicted Zhou Xun as the on who was taking the initiative in the relationship, claiming that she already was fond of Ting Fung a long time ago and became familiar with Ting Fung through her friend Chen Kun. They might not have developed into a couple yet, as they had the interest to become good friends. However since Ting Fung just let Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi go, he still would rather be single for now.

Zhou Xun who already became a Hong Konger through the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme indeed loved Hong Kong. Earlier she stated that she would rest for a long time. Yet earlier reporters found her at work in Hong Kong for OVERHEARD 3 (SIT TING FUNG WON III). She wore light and casual costumes for the film's location shoot. Sean Lau Ching Wan was also present and director Felix Chong Man Keung was directing the production. Because she was not advertised to be in the film, her appearance was somewhat surprising. Hong Kong film obviously still had its charm and was able to make her making the exception, she truly loved Hong Kong. Reporters saw her often playing with her phone, like she was waiting for a message from a friend?

Ting Fung's friends Yung Cho Yi and Choi Cheuk Yin seemed to agree with them dating. Ah Sa praised that they were well matched and even said that she has imagined them together before. Yung Cho Yi joked that Ting Fung liked "Beijing accent" girls in particular, seemingly hinting that the rumor was not without its merit.

When Yung Cho Yi and Ah Sa were asked about Ting Fung's new romantic rumor, they both sent their well wishes. Joey said, "I don't know how to answer about Ting Fung's matter. I haven't asked him, but I agree very much for him to date. He has great qualities. When someone has been alone for a long time he would become dry. I don't know who that person is, but as a friend I would be happy for him. (Do you feel that he is in love?) No, I just feel that if he isn't dating it would be quite a waste." Was Ting Fung and Zhou Xun a good match? Joey just laughed and answered ambiguously. "Ah Jai (Ting Fung's nickname) has always liked to hear Putonghua, liked the Beijing accent. As long as you don't pay attention to his over a decade only LV slippers, he has always been very sharply dressed. However I am not much of a gossip, I keep my mouth shut. I remember recently I have seen Zhou Xun." When reporters asked if she saw her at Ting Fung's home, she immediately practiced Tai Chi. "I remember now, I saw her on the newspaper."

Ah Sa joked that she has imagined them together. She said, "I don't know if the rumor is real or not, but I have always liked Zhou Xun. I have imagined this match up. They are very well matched. However it's not my business, i have just imagined it."

Earlier Ah Sa reportedly on a certain site video program revealed the show business "hidden rules". On the program she revealed that she was asked to meet and escort bosses and rich people, and that the "Hainan Rendez-Vous" situation was frequently seen. The text even claimed that Ah Sa stated that her manager made her stand outside the front door the company to learn "obedience".

When the reporter looked up the interview the content and the report were very different. Ah Sa admitted that artists definitely would have certain difficulties but she absolutely has not been "harmed". She stressed that every time she had to drink, Mani would protect her. Ah Sa also pointed out that after becoming famous artists would definitely be insulted, which was normal.

Mani yesterday told Ah Sa about the report. Ah Sa immediately said that the report quoted her out of context and complained. Mani said, "She was just promoting her film THE MIDAS TOUCH (CHIU CUP GAING LEI YUN). No one should make too many connections." Mani clarified for Ah Sa that in the interview she never mentioned dining with the rich or Mani's corporal punishment.

Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin in the film THE MIDAS TOUCH (CHIU CUP GAING LEI YUN) played a gold label manager Sister Suen who is madly in love with her artist Gao Yunxiang. She uses every trick in the book to scare away women around him. In one scene Ah Sa observes Gao Yunxiang through an one way reflective glass and even pretended to kiss and touch him. Ah Sa gave a high rating to Gao Yunxiang's body. "His body is very fit, I was like a Mr. Fitness judge who is evaluating a contestant."

Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin "fell" for Mainland hunk Gao Yunxiang so hard that she ignored her own safety to climb onto a 20 foot platform to personally feed him. However he was not moved as Gao Yunxiang lamented that he was heartless.

Ah Sa in her Emperor Motion Picture THE MIDAS TOUCH (CHIU CUP GAING LEI YUN) had her eyes on small time actor Gao Yunxiang. She worked for free to be his manager and used her own money to help his launch into stardom. In the story Gao Yunxiang was left in mid air for work, Ah Sa immediately climbed to the platform to feed him. Somewhat afraid of heights Ah Sa's legs were shaking. Yet as soon as the director gave the order, she immediately performed fearlessly. Looking back at the harsh time of her start, Ah Sa said, "Because we always did cartwheels we often got hurt. Luckily I had Ah Gil (Gillian Chung Yun Tung) to share the load. I also thank Mani (Fok Man Hei)."

Gao Yunxiang finally "turned down" Ah Sa and described himself as "heartless". "How can I give up a manager who is pretty and loves me? Such a manager is truly few and far between." Lo Hoi Pang also guest starred and he again impersonated Lydia Shum Din Ta. Ah Sa could not stop laughing.

In the Emperor Motion Picture THE MIDAS TOUCH (CHIU CUP GAING LEI YUN), manager Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin had to make the girl group OMG into stars. Its members Angela Hui Ching Wan, Alice Luo Shi, Christie Si Xuan, Una Xie (Tse Kai Woon) and Zhuang Jiemeng are all Emperor new comers. Although they are young, they are all talented in their own way. They even due to this collaboration become good friends and never fought over screen time.

After several months together, the ladies built a relationship that was as thick as sisters. The only Hong Konger Angela also said that they were very innocent. "Because my Putonghua was poor, I was very afraid that I couldn't mix in with them. Yet they didn't exclude me, they even taught me Putonghua! The happiest was when we went to shoot in Korea. After the shoot the group went shopping in Dongdaemun, it was very fun!"

Although the five film industry new stars are young, they each have their own specialty. Angela and Mengmeng sing well; the girl next door Luo Shi studied dance since childhood and is the dancing queen among them; Shi Xuan is not only tall but her ample busts also grab the most eyeballs; Una who resembles Mini Yang Mi graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, her acting potential should not be overlooked.

The ladies worked with Chapman To Man Jat, Choi Cheuk Yin and Wong Chon Nam for the first time and agreed that they took great care of new comers. They also said that Ah Sa indeed was able to capture the soul of manager Mani Fok Man Hei. Una said, "She is a little like her, but Ah Sa's performance is more serious. Mani actually is very nice." Luo Shi in the film had to deliberately create a career line and said a flighty sorry. She said at first she was very nervous, but thanked Ah Jat's instructions from the sidelines. "He taught me in a very funny way, which made me more relaxed. Later I was able to shoot it without any nerves." The only one with an intimate scene, Si Xuan had a kiss scene with Cho Nam. After it she was bruised all over. "We embraced and rolled on the ground while we kissed. After the shoot I was bruised all over!"

Emperor's "Dragon, Tiger, Panther" Joey Yung Cho Yi, Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin and Gillian Chung Yun Tung two nights ago finally had a chance to get together along with Kenny Kwan Chi Bun, manager Mani Fok Man Hei and Joey's mother. Of course they had to take a photo to remember the happy occasion. Joey posted the group photo online, and the "Dragon, Tiger, Panther" were all doing the same head propping pose. Was their chemistry that great? Later Kwan Chi Bun revealed on facebook that for this photo they took a hour, as everyone kept discussing how to make their faces look thinner? Why would red eye happen? Why would their eyes not be big enough? Why would their faces look pale? Finally they completed the shoot. Vanity is human nature, not to mention they were Heavenly Queens? Thus "Dragon, Tiger, Panther" of course are "three sisters of vanity"!

Finally the 8 models felt up Ah Jat all over. After the shoot Ah Jat said, "Great!" A normal massage only had a pair of hands, he never had the experience of a massage with 8 pairs of hands. The girls also praised Ah Jat's body as soft and great to touch!

Ah Sa said that she was the happiest about the cake toss and pillow fight scenes. She was able to make a mess on an official capacity; she said that when she saw Ah Jat was covered in cotton, he was a white, fluffy and cute sheep.

The Chapman To Man Jat and Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin starred film THE MIDAS TOUCH (CHIU CUP GAING LEI YUN) will be released in the summer. In the film Jenny Lau Wai Suen went all out. In one scene she went to an audition, when she arrived in Eric Kwok's production company she realized that it was a sex film. However she still was willing to show some cleavage, leaned on the table and licked a strawberry. Lau Wai Suen said that after the shoot she developed a fear of strawberry. That day the team prepared 3 boxes of strawberries, which all vanished in the morning. To handle such a seductive expression, she looked her Chrissie Chau Sau Na's photo book for research. "I hope other than toothpaste, everyone would remember strawberry."

This was her meanest character to date. She said, "Actually playing mean is pretty tough, even Mani (Fok Man Hei) isn't this mean."

He said that he had the "qualifications" to perform the scene, as he joked that he had a lot of knowledge about creating cleavage. The move in the film was based on Marilyn Monroe's classic "wind blown white dress" photo. Ah Jat watched the playback and could not hold back his laughter, as he wanted to nominated Lok Si for the Hong Kong Film Award "Best Chest Award".

Ah Sa's character was based on Mani's manner of speech and work ethics, but she created the "eye roll" to make the character even funnier.

Mani was asked which artist was the hardest to work with? She said, "To Man Jat and Ah Sa are considered easy to handle, the hardest is (Nicholas) Tse Ting Fung. At first we didn't get along well, but now his personality has changed a lot. He treats people around him very well."
