Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Zhou Xun are rumored to be secretly in love for two years. Zhou Xun is also rumored to hook up with Nicholas Tse Ting Fung for revenge on Wai Jai. With Carina Lau Ka Ling's "ownership announcement" online, the complicated relationships between Best Actors and Best Actresses make great drama.

Yesterday one of the leads Leung Chiu Wai appeared. He promoted his film THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI) in the U.S. and participated in a Chevrolet event. Wai Jai, his assistant, his hairstylist and others in his entourage marched into Beverly Hills. They had tea and chatted at a cafe and even took photos with his photo. He was so relaxed that the Zhou Xun rumor did not seem to have any effect on him. During the Chevrolet event, Wai Jai traveled on U.S. Highway 1 with a caravan to Malibu beach.

Lau Ka Ling yesterday did not update her Weibo. Two days ago she wrote in the morning, "Any place can be a starting point, any time can be a start. Good morning! As long as you act, no time is too late."

The Mainland media speculated the Zhou Xun and Leung Chiu Wai rumors of secret romance over two years while working on THE GREAT MAGICIAN (DAI MOR SHOOK SI) and THE SILENT WAR (TING FUNG JEH) until it was white hot. Some felt that Ka Ling's earlier post of "Being jealous of others would not gain you any advantage and could not possibly reduce others' achievement." was a ownership announcement. An online message said "This Empress' aura can kill the Painted Skin little fox in seconds." (Lau Ka Ling played Wu Zetian while Zhou Xun played the fox demon). Some were also jealous of Wai Jai, "Why is it that when I see other male stars cheat I would feel they are garbage, but with Leung Chiu Wai's rumor with (Maggie) Cheung Man Yuk, Dong Jie and Zhou Xun I feel they are true love?" Someone also crowned Wai Jai "invisible casanova".

In addition, Wai Jai and director Wong Kar Wai earlier on Helen To Yu Fung's program talked about THE GRANDMASTERS. Wai Jai said that he already forgot the reason he made this film, he only thought that martial art film would be fun. He also said that he was already a Bruce Lee fan when he was little. Wong Kar Wai said that for his first biographical film adaptation, he spent years on the research and interviewed people who have come in contact with Ip Man for inspiration.

The Chow Yun Fat, Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Chapman To Man Jat starred Lunar New Year Film FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (DOH SING FUNG WON) is heating up in production. Although Fat Gor has not appeared yet, Ting Fung, To Man Jat, Natalie Meng Yao and other actors have been working nonstop. Two nights ago they shot a fight scene in a Ngau Tau Kok alley. Ting Fung had to use a folding chair to hit Ricky Wong Chun Tong in the back of the head. Director Wong Jing and producer Andrew Lau Wai Keung personally supervised.

Ting Fung was very professional. When he arrived at the set he immediately focused on the production, he used the folding chair to test the mark on his head. Then he sat on the chair and enjoyed a cigar. Ting Fung, Lau Wai Keung, To Man Jat and others chatted and laughed. Seemingly his rumor with Zhou Xun has not affected him. The atmosphere on the set was also very light.

In a "bloody" makeup, Meng Yao revealed that in this scene she and To Man Jat were collecting debts. In the film she did not need voice dubbing, but she admitted that Cantonese was very hard to speak. No matter how she practiced her pronunciation was inaccurate. Will she have any scene with Chow Yun Fat? Meng Yao pouted and said, "No! I am so disappointed! I am truly too disappointed! however I am already very happy to have a scene with Ting Fung and To Man Jat." Meng Yao said that earlier dyes ruined her HK$1,000 personal bra. She joked, "Next time I will wear a cheaper one, that one is ruined. Ask Wong Jing to cover it? Let me talk to him." Meng Yao was very happy that this time she did not have any sexy performance. "I can demonstrate my abilities, the smartest part is I learned some foul language. Normally I am very mild mannered, I don't use foul language."

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.

The 33 year old Nicholas Tse Ting Fung was rumored to be in love with the 38 year old Best Actress Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun who became a Hong Konger through the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme supposedly moved to Hong Kong and into the same building as Ting Fung. The report even claimed that his former wife Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi was jealous after learning that they were in love and took their sons to live in Canada. Ting Fung who has never hidden his relationships rapidly claimed that "they knew each other but are not in love" along with Zhou Xun. The neighbors have not moved in together either.

Tse Ting Fung yesterday appeared at Cheung King Hin's Emperor Entertainment press conference. When the host made fun of him for a lot of recent news, he said, "Don't believe what was written in the report!" Ting Fung did not want to steal his junior colleague's thunder and had to rush to Cyberport for work, thus he turned down interviews. However he still through his manager Mani Fok Man Hei denied any new romance. Fok Man Hei said, "Ting Fung was clueless when he saw the report. He absolutely isn't in love with Zhou Xun. Since his divorce to now he has been single." Did they know each other? Fok Man Hei said, "They know each other, but they are just neighbors who live in the same building. Even Ting Fung is clueless. They are 100% not dating. Hopefully the media won't speculate. Ting Fung is single now!"

As for whether Pak Chi took their sons and immigrated to Canada, Fok Man Hei said, "Pak Chi has already communicated with Ting Fung before hand. Ting Fung knew that his former wife and their sons went to Canada. Their sons will return to Hong Kong." She said that Ting Fung wanted for his sons to grow up healthily the most and not be the target of the media.

Ms. Yang from Zhou Xun Workshop's promotional department said, Zhou Xun and Ting Fung absolutely are not in love. She said, "Zhou Xun read the report and was very surprised and clueless. In 2000 she worked on Ting Fung's music video. They knew each other a long time ago but are just ordinary friends. They don't have any personal relationship, just exchange greeting at public events." Ms. Yang said that Zhou Xun is working in Hong Kong. She moved into Ting Fung's building because the production rented a place there. She did not buy any property in Hong Kong.

Patrick Tse Yin said that he has not heard about Ting Fung's new romance and was certain that Pak Chi did not leave for Canada out of jealousy. He angrily said, "It definitely isn't like this, don't make up news. It would affect the children!"

Vicki Zhao Wei's directing debut SO YOUNG made 700 million yuan RMB in the Mainland. She said that she was very calm now. Instead when the film opened with over 40 million yuan she was very excited. This hit would not bring pressure to her next film. "The box office was not my target of success because it was beyond my control. I just wanted to make more entertaining and better movies." She said that she was a mad director. On the first day she shot for over 30 hours without getting tired. Finally the director of photography caught a fever and could not stand up, she immediately told him to stop working and get an I-V.

Rumored to be at odds with good friend Chen Kun due to Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei thought the rumor was very strange. "Some viewers guessed that I would use him to promote the film. I just hope that he wouldn't misunderstand. I feel that I don't need to explain too much." She also was accused of being at odds with Zhou Xun. Zhao Wei was also afraid that she crossed Zhou Xun without knowing it, so she directly asked Zhou Xun. "Zhou Xun didn't feel we had anything bad either!"
