DaDa Chan Jing suddenly announced her retirement from show business due to emotional disorder. She and her manager still had a contract with over 5 years as well as film, advertising and business performance contracts. Some have estimated the damage to reach HK$10 million. She also had to carry the name of lacking actor's ethics. LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 3) director Wilson Chin Kwok Wai yesterday blasted DaDa, blaming her for a lack of professionalism and appeasing her "princess disorder"; the film company would pursue any damage her sudden resignation has caused to the end.

When DaDa started and made LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO) she was already the lead actress. Chin Kwok Wai invited her to collaborate again on LAN 3. The film was about to start production in days when she suddenly retired and messed up the plan. Yesterday Chin Kwok Wai was vry upset about DaDa's vanishing. He said that he was already sounding all alarms to look for DaDa but has not received any reply. Her manager Celia Sie Lim Chi repeatedly apologized to her and said that she has not been able to contact DaDa either. She said that she would take legal action against DaDa.

Chin Kwok Wai said that LAN 3 will soon start production. Now h could only pull DaDa's story. She needed not feel that she was very influential, as he only needed to strengthen other story lines or add actors. DaDa's character in LAN 3 was a continuation of the one in LAN KWAI FONG. Th story developed to after she got married but she still wanted to go out at night.

Chin Kwok Wai said, "DaDa's behavior set a bad example, lacked professionalism, did not follow the spirit of the contract and had no actor ethics. She just resigned with one line online, even her manager has lost contact. (Will she be blacklisted?) With this behavior working together again will be very hard."

Chin Kwok Wai said that DaDa's irresponsibility was disappointing, not only making others suffer monetary losses but also adding a lot of trouble. If she had mood disorder did she have proof from the doctor? At least she should ask the question and then discuss how to handle it, no one could force her but she could not vanish without a sound. He said, "She indeed has a disorder, it's princess disorder. Throwing a tantrum over reports that she "bullied" a junior colleague, she is an irresponsible actress. She dislikes it and just quits? She Cannot be appeased."

Earlier before LAN 3, Chin Kwok Wai pointed out that he discussed the script with DaDa many times. She was not resistant. She also attended the script read through with our actors and the costume fitting, and appeared to be very happy. He said, "I am the most afraid of the outside misunderstanding me for forcing DaDa to do something, during the script negotiation she was not displeased." Some pointed out that DaDa withstood a lot of pressure? Chin Kwok Wai said that some actors after 20 years still did not have an opportunity or award, whose pressure would be greater? He said that this was an excuse, why did she so flashy and have no pressure who she attended film festivals overseas? Did DaDa's resignation impact the film? Chin Kwok Wai said that work had to be stopped for a few days, and a over 100 people dance scene had to be changed.

Producer Ng Kin Hung said that the damage had to be calculated, currently the production issue had to be handled first. He and DaDa have worked together a few times, aside from LAN KWAI FONG they also worked on HARDCORE COMEDY (CHUNG HAU MEI). Her salary also kept rising; this incident was quite regrettable; the film company would pursue the damage that her sudden resignation has caused to the end.

DaDa's manager Sie Lim Chi said that she has lost contact with DaDa and would not take action the next few days. Conceivably when she read the reports she would realize she was in big trouble; if she still has not appeared by Monday she would discuss the matter with a lawyer.

Meanwhile as everyone thought that she truly had mood disorder, yesterday morning she was secretly working on Pang Ho Cheung's film. She was obviously dodging LAN 3. The trigger of the incident actually was DaDa being upset with Ava Yu Kiu having a bigger role than hers. She was also upset that she was interviewed with Mika Siu and Celia Kwok Wing Yi on the day of the production start, which made her moody.

DaDa originally was the one who wanted to take part in LAN 3. The team also started production early because of her. Now she turned on the team and instead worked on another film. Sie Lim Chi admitted, "Around noon I got a call from the director (Pang Ho Cheung) that DaDa went to work. DaDa's behavior is irresponsible, I am very disappointed in her. (Was she upset that Yu Kiu had a bigger rol?) DaDa indeed has asked me why!" Director Pang only said, "I am working on another film, I am not sure about anything else." Reportedly DaDa was only guest starring in that film and has already completed 80% of her role. Since she announced her retirement, the director originally planned to wrap up with a double. Yet in the morning he was able to get in contact with DaDa and finally she appeared on the set. Outsiders speculated that DaDa found a big backer, but actually she was not dating. She was just moody. However her "ostrich strategy" might cost her HK$10 million in contract breaking damages.

Yu Kiu yesterday admitted that she was the benefactor. "We have known each other for two weeks and aren't familiar. (Gregory) Wong Chung Hiu said that she was very direct. If she didn't like me, she would tell me directly. (Is your role bigger than hers?) We don't have anything to do with each other, we work separately! During the meeting the film stipulated two lead actresses and the ratio was the same, but my story was with (Jason) Chan Pak Yu and hers was in a love triangle. If you have to count then indeed I have more screen time. (Did you benefit?) Only a few minutes! Because the company notified me about the production delay, I took the few hours to get my hair done. At night I will work on LAN 3."

"Victim" Wong Chung Hiu said that he would the director's decision. Whitney Hui Yik Nei was to play DaDa and Wong Chung Hiu's third party. She said that she was already happy to have a part and believed that she would not be affected.

Chapman To Man Jat and DaDa were close and was very worried about her condition. Yesterday morning Ah Jat and DaDa talked on the phone but he did not reveal what it was about. He only said, "In this business no one is an absolute necessity. Back then when Bruce Lee passed away, GAME OF DEATH still wrapped. Yet I feel a person has to be responsible, when you resign you have to give an advanced notice! Before you retire don't you have to finish all your jobs first? Thus I would try to talk to her. (How was her mood?) Her mood really isn't so stable, so I plan to wait until she cools down first before communicating with her in a few days."

DaDa's colleague and co-star Kwok Wing Yi yesterday admitted that DaDa threw a tantrum about Yu Kiu having a bigger role than her. "About a month ago when we first got the script, DaDa called me and said why would her role be smaller than Yu Kiu. She even said that she would fight for it with the manager. Later I didn't ask again if she was successful. I wasn't interested in finding out because having a part was already great for me. (Did DaDa sound very upset?) She was very upset. She said that she didn't want to have such a small role."

As for DaDa looking down on her junior colleagues and even not wanting to take photos with them, Celia helplessly said, "Yes, she doesn't like to take photos with others. She wants to be photographed alone. Maybe everyone's levels are different. Best Supporting Actress, she won an award! (Did DaDa personally say to you that she did not want to take pictures together?) She would tell me to have mine taken first. I wasn't upset because our positions were different."

Winning the Hong Kong Film Award Best Supporting Actress with VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET), DaDa Chan Jing 4 months later announced her retirement from the screen. VULGARIA director Pang Ho Cheung and Chapman To Man Jat both expressed their support. Pang Ho Cheung two nights ago tried to change her mind online. "Why mind a mirage? The body is hard to come by. Why not ignore the snickers and the criticism, since we are just after momentary pleasure. Best of Luck." Yesterday after learning that DaDa retired for health reasons, Pang Ho Cheung wrote, "Nothing in life is more important than the pursuit of inner peace. Hong Kong film needs you, but it doesn't mean that you need to satisfy everyone's expectation. Keep being yourself, and live you life the way that you like. Always smile, you are the most beautiful when you smile."

To Man Jat wrote online, "Everyone has the right to choose how they live their lives, you don't have to be starry and glittering. Yet when you retire from this circle, don't you just end up in another circle? The world has no job that has no pressure at all, only the mood that you decide. When you feel your problems are huge, the world may not even notice you. Chan Jing, you place a hold on your desire to retire from show business. If you change your mind, the lead actress of my movie at the end of the year will still be you. Good night! Have a good sleep!"

To Man Jat said that he did not call DaDa. He said, "We are in the heat of the moment, I will wait until she cools down first. Did I feel DaDa's mood had problems? The more money city people make, the more stress they have. It's normal. Since DaDa and I started working together, I haven't felt that she had mood problems. At work she was very normal, very professional, whatever she was asked to do she was willing." He joked that DaDa might have kept everything inside for a long time and erupted all at once.

Did he feel DaDa's retirement was regrettable? To Man Jat said, "She doesn't have to work in this business. This business is very tough to take. If you do you have to be tough. Everyone has their own ideas. I don't know why she has decided not to work anymore. I would support whatever decision she would make. If she quits, the movie at the end of the year will be recast."

The now 24 year old DaDa Chan Jing before rising to fame once host an ATV horse racing program. Earlier because of her Jason's Fruit Shop beverage commercial and her proud figure, she joined the entertainment circle after gaining some recognition and was even crowned "Jason's Fruit Shop E Goddess". DaDa signed with Celia Sie Lim Chi to be a model and released a sexy photo book. She also walked the catwalk with her sexy image and performed in the film MICROSEX OFFICE (CHIU SING BANG GUNG SUT) and LAN KWAI FONG (HEI OI YEH PO).

Last year with cultivation in the hands of Pang Ho Cheung and Chapman To Man Jat, DaDa became the lead actress in VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET). Her character Popping Candy left a deep impression with viewers and even earned her a Taiwan Golden Horse Award Best Supporting Actress nomination. Although she lost, she won the Best Supporting Actress award in this year's Hong Kong Film Award and proved that being sexy could also receive acting recognition.

DaDa after winning the award received many film offers. Although they were mainly sexy, she did not resist them. She even expressed hope to win Best Actress in 5 years. Originally DaDa planned to make LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 3), but she suddenly said that she had a mood disorder. The doctor suggested for her to leave show business, and in the short run she has already turned away an estimated HK$5 million.

DaDa Chan Jing, Kelvin Kwan Chor Yiu, Michelle Wai Si Nga and Paulyn Sun Kai Kwan two nights ago appeared at a Mongkok cinema to attended their film HARDCORE COMEDY (CHUNG HAU MEI)'s advanced screening audience appreciation event. They distributed "flavored" wet napkins and posters to the audience. Pang Ho Cheung, Susan Shaw Yam Yam and others were at their film SDU SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK JING) audience appreciation next door. Sister Yam Yam even came over. DaDa was happy that HARDCORE COMEDY guest star Sister Yam Yam was able to make an appearance.

DaDa revealed that later she will work with Director Pang on a micro movie about "feces". "He will be the lead actor in it and I will be the lead actress. Since it has to be about feces and tells the story with warmth and humor, I look forward to the script very much. However I think it probably would not use real feces. Director Pang tends to use real ones though, so I am a little worried. (Are you worried that it would ruin the goddess image in otaku's heart?) I am not a goddess, the most important is for viewers to have fun. Did I have any sexy performance in HARDCORE COMEDY? It doesn't count, it looks very sexy but the character does not to be externally sexy."

DaDa is working on LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 3) and plays a cheating wife. "New actresses will handle the sexy scenes. I want to work on more dramatic scenes but I am not resistant to passionate scenes. I have to see if the co-star will be able to get into character. (Do you have intimate scenes?) Yes, I have a hot spring passion scene with a Korean actor. Because I am a cheating woman, it is very reasonable. The shoot will not take place until the middle of month in Korea."

Kwan Chor Yiu and Wai Si Nga both agreed that they have looked forward to the film for a long time. In the film they even had a scene in which Kwan Chor Yiu masturbated to Si Nga. Kwan Chor Yiu said that he had a reaction. "She truly was very convincing. The first time when I watched that scene I was embarrassed and my heart beat faster. I even heard viewers cursed next to me." Si Nga said that she already saw people discussing her adult video impersonation scene online. Some guys reacted drastically. She joked that sh did not know whether the film will bring her luck with people. "Lately I have been lucky with people, twice people asked me for my contact. The first was a foreigner. He stuck a note with his phone number, email and facebook account on the rear view mirror of my car; the second time was on the train, two people asked me for my WeChat number. I of course didn't give it, but it has been years since something like this happened to me. It was quite a blast from the past." As for what the foreigner looked like, Si Nga said, "He looked like a regular foreigner, but not the type that I like."

Sun Kai Kwan said that she has not attended such audience appreciation events in ten years. Did she have any sexy scene in the film? She said, "The sexiest was the clothing, which had very little cloth. Yet conceptually it was not too sexy. The action was not too daring either. The standard was not so category III. I felt that while shooting with Kwan Chor Yiu it was not embarrassing either."

The film SDU SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK JING) after 7 days in release reached HK$10 million at the box office. Two nights ago a celebration was held. Shawn Yue Man Lok, DaDa Chan Jing, Chapman To Man Jat, Susan Shaw Yam Yam and producer Pang Ho Cheung attended. Sister Yam Yam fed Lok Jai abalone on the stage and Lok Jai gladly accepted it. "I am very honored to eat Sister Yam Yam's abalone." To Man Jat joked, "A dried abalone that has been in the collection for years is saved for you." DaDa bit an abalone and fed it to To Man Jat. After eating it he said, "It's so fresh and sweet!"

DaDa who only guest starred in SDU joked that she came for the free meal and did not expect to feed To Man Jat abalone. However this was their usual style and promotion so she did not mind. DaDa said, "This is a great abalone. I too wanted to try what it tasted like, it really was very sweet. Although it was mouth to mouth, we had no contact."

SDU was a big hit but To Man Jat had no intention for a sequel. "VULGARIA was a hit and didn't have a sequel either, but we have to keep up with one crazy comedy a year." As for his wife Krystal Tin Yui Nei in her new series will have kiss scenes with Roger Kwok Chun On, King Kong and Matt Yeung Ming. To Man Jat was not jealous at all, "Great! It balances out with everything I did before so I won't have to feel guilty. She can screw around and I am happy for her. When my wife kisses someone else, I may be already making NAKED AMBITION 2 (HO CHING 2) in Japan and representing China on the expedition to Japan."

The Chapman To Man Jat, Shawn Yue Man Lok starred film SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK JING) two nights ago opened, with the earlier advanced screening its cumulative box office reached HK$4.1 million. Producer Pang Ho Cheung and the actors have been visiting many cinemas for audience appreciation. So far they have already visited over 50 shows.

Pang Ho Cheung was very happy to learn about the over 4.1 million box office, proving that the general public needs the crazy comedy genre because everyone's lives are filled with pressure. To Man Jat excitedly said, "The credit belongs to all the workers. Hopefully every year we will be able to make such a crazy comedy that truly belongs to Hong Kong people's authentic culture." Yue Man Lok hoped the performance would be good enough for a sequel or even a third film.

Shawn Yue Man Lok, Chapman To Man Jat, producer Pang Ho Cheung, Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung, Matthew Chow Hoi Kwong, DaDa Chan Jing, Susan Shaw Yam Yam and Liu Anqi who was linked to Yue Man Lok in rumors two nights ago attended the film SDU SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK JING) premiere. Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Zhou Xun and Gigi Leung Wing Kei showed their support. Ah Jat and Pang Ho Cheung sang a duet of dirty jokes. When Ah Lok was asked whether working with many pretty girls was awkward, Ah Lok replied, "No awkwardness, I disappear as soon as the shoot was done!" Ah Jat immediately said, "He passed by in flash, now everyone knows his speed. He truly is honest and real." Tsang Kwok Cheung claimed to be the mightiest as the only person who was successful on the expedition. Ah Jat again joked, "Your timing is mighty, in a state of excitement throughout the entire film."

Pang Ho Cheung led the actors in an ice breaking ceremony to symbolize the film breaking VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET)'s box office record of HK$32,086,173. Pang Ho Cheung even promised, "If the box office reaches 10 million then they will be like the poster in SDU gear and boxers, but without me. It has to pass 20 million before I will, 30 million we will wear the top and lose the bottom." As for 40 million, Ah Jat added, "We'll do something for the people." Pang Ho Cheung said, "Do the mule in Kadoorie Farm."

However, Ah Lok stated in his interview that he would not consider wearing boxers outside until the box office reached 30 million. He said, "At most I would wear boxer shorts, not briefs. Everyone may be very happy to see them, but I won't be happy." Ah Jat joked that Ah Lok was just an idol, he had substance. Thus he would not mind wearing briefs to Mongkok for 30 million box office audience appreciation. No hands? He joked, "That would depend on the person, I don't mind anyone good. Don't make me sound like I am gold, maybe after touching people would have to wash their hands. There may be slingshots, as Angry Birds appear in Mongkok." Ah Jat even joked that Tsang Kwok Cheung's lower body could rival his, with more substance than his father Eric Tsang Chi Wai.

Liu Anqi and Shawn Yue are accused of sexting

Shawn Yue Man Lok and Kary Ng Yu Fei announced their break up after almost a year of dating. Earlier Kary was rumored to be "too intense" and made Yue Man Lok break up with her. Yesterday a new version surface as a magazine claimed that Yue Man Lok hooked up with his film SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK JING) topless Mainland actress Liu Anqi. After exchanging numbers they have been sexting each other. Kary got into an argument with him after finding out. Finally she could take no more and broke up with him, Yue Man Lok agreed right away.

Yue Man Lok was upset that his love life has become a film promotional tool. Yesterday he posted online, "Promotions have many ways, but why does this way have to be used? Would hurting an artist truly make the film a big hit?" He blatantly accused the film company for promoting with his break up.

His former girlfriend Kary supported Yue Man Lok's character on facebook. "Lately I saw different publications' continuous speculations. They not only twist the fact but also hurt us both. I will reiterate, he and I understood each other and broke up, all other reports are untrue. No one is more certain about this than me. I hope no one would again falsify news to harm others. I also hope that no one would read gossip magazines anymore. This society needs even more positive voices!"

SDU director Pang Ho Cheung yesterday believed that the film company would not promote with Yue Man Lok's love life. He said, "This film is a Media Asia film release. Yue Man Lok is also a Media Asia artist. Why would it use his personal life to promote?" Would he call to console Yue Man Lok? Pang Ho Cheung humorously said, "I am making a movie, later I will call him to see if I can help him with an expedition!"

The film SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK JING)'s four lead actors Chapman To Man Jat, Shawn Yue Man Lok, Matthew Chow Hoi Kwong and Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung in the film went to patronize prostitutes. Only Lok Jai and night club "daughter" have a romance. Director Pang Ho Cheung said, "Lok Jai has a way with the ladies. Among the four male leads he resembles me the more, he's handsome enough! His character is tailor made."

In the film "Mamasan" introduced a new daughter to Lok Jai and had to remove her clothing for him to "inspect". They awkwardly stared at each other and began fond of each other, but they did not have any physical contact. Lok Jai said that this was the first time he faced a topless woman in a film. The director asked him to keep looking at her chest, but he felt embarrassed and avoided staring at her chest as much as he could. His co-star was Central Academy of Drama student Liu Anqi, who was selected for her figure as well as her innocent looks. For the strip scene, the director cleared the set. She also praised Lok Jai as a gentleman and thus she was able to perform at ease.

DaDa Chan Jing worked on a campaign for a slimming beauty company for the third year. This year she will not release any photo book. She admitted that photo book did not make as much money as acting. Earlier she won the Hong Kong Film Award Best Supporting Actress with VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET)'s "Popping Candy", but some felt that she did not rely on acting. They gave her pressure because her character stood out; she hoped to transition from playing sexy to relying on acting and receive recognition for it. However, she just guest starred in Pang Ho Cheung's new film and she still had to be sexy. The character was similar to "Popping Candy". "He said that it wasn't before, I was fooled. However it had some touching spots for balance." She would not mind being sexy if the role had potential. She revealed that later she will play a wife for the first time and she suggested for the film company to find a Korean hunk to play her husband.
