Zhou Xun was rumored to have been secretly seeing Nicholas Tse Ting Fung since the end of last year. She even came to Hong Kong and moved into the Ting Fung's building for more time together, but both sides have denied any romance; however, yesterday a magazine claimed that Zhou Xun used her relationship with Ting Fung to upset Tony Leung Chiu Wai. According to the magazine Wai Jai and Zhou Xun clicked after working on two films in a row, THE GREAT MAGICIAN (DAI MOR SHOOK SI) and THE SILENT WAR (TING FUNG JEH) and have been secretly together for 2 years; recently Carina Lau Ka Ling became jealous and Wai Jai distanced himself from Zhou Xun. It even described that Zhou Xun on the night of Wai Jai's birthday on June 27 cried to her good friend Shu Qi.

Yesterday Wai Jai's management company Jet Tone had no comment about artist's persona life. Coincidentally, Lau Ka Ling posted online, "Jealousy of another would not gain you anything or reduce the achievement of another. Changing the environment isn't easy, but changing yourself is very simple. Do you feel everything is as usual and lack new ideas? When you go out try to take a new route, it is a simple yet interesting change!" Perhaps she hinted that she was not a jealous woman and would not control her husband?

The OVERHEARD 3 (SIT TING FUNG WON 3) team yesterday also clarified that Zhou Xun was not a guest star but the lead actress. Investor Bona Group chief Yu Dong said, "Zhou Xun absolutely is not guest starring but is the first female lead. Aside from Zhou Xun, many surprises will appear in the cast and will definitely bring viewers many pleasant surprises." The film company at first worried that Zhou Xun would not take the role. Because she has to play a Hong Konger in the film she has to speak Cantonese, which to her was certainly challenging. However Zhou Xun quickly agreed to perform. Thus she constantly wore headphones on the set. She wanted to practice her Cantonese pronunciation. Because the character was full legendary color and completely different from past Zhou Xun characters, it will be quite a challenge for her.

Among the three lead actors, Louis Koo Tin Lok was the happiest. He described working with Zhou Xun as "when Yeung Gor meets Wong Yung". "Zhou Xun in past films have been in love with Ng Yin Cho (Daniel Wu) twice and played Lau Ching Wan's seventh mistress. I only worked with her on a commercial and have looked forward to working with her on the big screen for a long time."

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.

Alex Fong Chung Shun continued to be a spokesperson for the Swiss wrist watch brand DOXA and two nights ago its latest ad campaign was shown at the Ocean Park aquarium. Currently working on OVERHEARD 3 (SIT TING FUNG WON 3) until mid August, Fong Chung Shun then had to make two other films. Due to scheduling issue he missed the chance to work with John Woo (Ng Yu Sum). "Due to a schedule clash I very regrettably cannot make Ng Yu Sum's THE CROSSING (TAI PING LUN). I only hope the next time he will have another chance. TVB originally asked me to make a new series with (Michael) Miu Kiu Wai in August, I won't have time just the same."

Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) lately has been busy with his new film OVERHEARD 3 (TING FUNG WON FUNG 3). Earlier around 3PM, he, Sean Lau Ching Wan, Alex Fong Chung Shun, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Dominic Lam Ka Wa and others shot on location in a Yuen Long village house. As Ng Yin Cho had his make up fixed, he kept smiling at the phone. Perhaps he was on video conference with his wife Lisa S. and their daughter Raven.

During their break, the guys got together to smoke and chat. Ng Yin Cho also talked with long time father Fong Chung Shun about parenthood. Due to the heat, Lam Ka Tung and Lam Ka Wa removed their costumes to cool down.

Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) and his wife Lisa S. yesterday announced that their daughter Raven Wu was born on May 30th and weighed 8 pounds. However the baby had jaundice symptoms, 4 days of her birth she remains in the hospital under the lamps. Ng Yin Cho's first baby was just born but he already planned to have another in half a year. He also described that the experience in the delivery room stunned him.

The 38 year old Ng Yin Cho and wife Lisa S. both liked children very much. Since ending their 8 year romance in 2010 with a wedding in South Africa, they have been busy "creating a person". Lisa finally announced in December that she was carrying a girl. Yesterday morning, Daniel and Lisa both posted a photo of their baby girl's hand to announce the good news. "We are very happy to announce that the birth of our healthy daughter Raven Wu. She has brought us an even more perfect family. Now we are very excited about starting a new journey in life!"

Daniel yesterday afternoon attended the film OVERHEARD 3 (SIT TING FUNG WON 3)'s production start ceremony with Louis Koo Tin Lok, Sean Lau Ching Wan, Alex Fong Chung Shun, Huang Yi, Michelle Ye (Yip Suen), directors Alan Mak Siu Fai and Felix Chong Man Keung, and producer Derek Yee Tung Sing. Daniel was all smiles, during the interview he received his co-stars Goo Jai and Ching Wan's congratulations. He could not wait to share his joy. "Rave was born on May 30th. I went to the delivery room with Lisa and was very pleasantly surprised. At first I thought a c-section birth would take a long time, but actually the process was very fast. I wasn't ready yet. We went in around 2:30PM and came around around 2:50PM." Speaking of the birthing process needing only 20 minutes, Goo Jai joked, "You still have enough time to watch a movie!"

Daniel explained that the baby was breech and could not turn around, so a natural birth was impossible. Thus a c-section was necessary. He said, "When I cut the umbilical cord I took a glimpse, it was pretty violent. I saw the person I loved being 'butchered', I was pretty scared and stunned. However I couldn't show that I was very scared. Old Lady asked me 'What's happening?', I said, 'Not much'; before I could react I went with the doctor to give the baby a physical examination and did a lot. I thought I would cry, but actually it was like a war zone."

Raven weighed 8 pounds when she was born. Daniel described her as "big". Lisa said that their daughter looked like a 3 month old. As for who the daughter resembled, he said, "Her mouth pouts like mine and her nose is very straight, but I can't tell whether she looks like Papa or Mama. Because she is just born she still retains water, her eyelids are still double but she looks Chinese. She also has a lot of hair." He said that her daughter is being breast fed, but after birth she was jaundice and she is still under the lights at the hospital. Lisa is keeping her company. Even though everyone wanted to see what Raven looks like, they would have to patiently wait a few more days before the photos will be shared. Goo Jai joked, "I am under the lamp too for a tan, I can give her a tanning lamp." Ching Wan added, "Then I am giving a baby bed, so she can lie down under the lamp."

Daniel would like Goo Jai and Ching Wan to be uncles to protect her daughter. He said, "I am very worried about my daughter dating in her teens, then I have to find her uncles to keep an eye on her." Goo Jai joked, "Then you should name her 'Ng Chun Siu' (No Smiling) or 'Ng Chun Kau' (No Wooing)." Daniel pointed out that his daughter' Chinese name will be left for his father to name. His parents will not visit until September. When will he have another? Daniel said, "Lisa had a very hard time, now she still can't. After half a year! I plan to reward her with jewelry, then set up an education fund for my daughter."

Daniel said that most of his characters had to die before, and joked that after the birth of his daughter he did not want to die. Directors Mak Siu Fai and Chong Man Keung pointed out that the film's story was still being developed, so there might be a chance to turn it around. However they believed that OVERHEARD 3 will be the final chapter, as they no longer wanted to make a sequel like a television series. If a boss will be willing to invest in a 4th installment, it will depend on the 3rd film's box office.

Goo Jai this time will play a handicapped character. He joked that the character was very right for him because he too was handicapped. He mentioned that earlier while working on the film THE WHITE STORM (SO DUK) he injured his face and right leg during a fight scene. He was swollen, in pain and thought he was jinxed, luckily he was fine. Ching Wan will try to grow facial hair for the film and did not know whether his kisses will be prickly for his wife. He joked that he had to go home and ask his wife.
