The more you think there are ghosts, the more you feel them. Horror actually comes from people's conscience." "Tales From The Dark Part 1" will be shown in cinemas beginning 11 July, while the second part will be released on 8 August.

News : Actor Sammul Chan

Actor Sammul Chan is happy working as an actor in mainland China, and revealed that it was having the freedom of choice that made him stay. As reported on HK Channel, the actor, who left TVB in 2011 after shooting "Relic Of An Emissary", revealed that the fact that mainland dramas paid more than TVB is secondary to the respect they gave him. Likening TVB to an institution, Sammul stated, "I did not have the power to make my own decisions there. But in mainland, I have the right to take whatever project I want and turn down the ones I don't like. For example, if I feel like shooting a costume drama in the summer is a nuisance, I can choose not to take on the project." He continued, "In mainland, actors can appear in any television stations they want. They only have to sign a per-series contract with the broadcaster. So there is more freedom in choosing." The actor also enthused that the cast and crew in mainland China are treated better and are better insured. The bigger pay is also an added bonus, and the actor admitted that the pay is good enough that he need not work multiple jobs to pay his bills.

In the commercial, the model-actress showed off her voluptuous figure (34C bra size) in a low-cut dress while teasing the audience with the line: 'All my sensations have been touched.' As there were many close-up shots of Chi-ling's chest instead of the ice cream, some netizens have blasted the 38-year-old for 'selling her body', while others defended the model by saying that her sweet image and voice is very befitting of the product.

John Woo's new film The Crossing

Casually dressed in a black T-shirt and khaki pants, Takeshi Kaneshiro turned up for the prayer ceremony of director John Woo's new film The Crossing (previously titled Pacific Wheel) in Beijing last Saturday. The Japanese-Taiwanese actor appeared to be in high spirits as he wore a huge smile throughout the event, sending the female crew's hearts aflutter. Netizens, who previously mocked the heartthrob for 'losing his charm', also exclaimed that his 'good looks have returned'. However, the actor's manager maintained that Takeshi Kaneshiro has 'always been the same'. 'There is no change [in his appearance],' he said.

News : Psy's "Gangnam Style"

Now attention is focusing on Psy's next move, as he has wrapped up promoting the song and its follow-up, "Gentleman." Although the latter, which he performed for the first time at a concert in Seoul in April, climbed to fifth place on the Billboard Hot 100 within just two weeks of its release, it failed to emulate the success of "Gangnam Style." Most industry insiders predict that his new album will determine his future in the global market, as he can still trade on the so-called "halo effect" of his first hit. Psy started working on his new song in the U.S. after performing at a charity football game hosted by former Korea international captain Park Ji-sung in Shanghai last month. "We plan to release a new song this fall, but we haven't decided what genre or format it will be," his agency said.

News : Psy's "Gangnam Style"

Pop critics say that the biggest achievement of the song is that it elevated Korea's brand value. "Thanks to 'Gangnam Style,' it's been so easy to promote Korea for the past year," said Sohn Jie-ae, CEO of Arirang TV. "Regardless of whether K-pop is popular or not in some specific region, everyone knows Psy and 'Gangnam Style.' Because he promoted his song while speaking Korean and singing a Korean song, global recognition of Korea has grown significantly," she added. "The song helped spread Korean culture, including the Korean language, quickly around the world," said Kim Seung-soo, a professor at Seoul Institute of the Arts.

News : Psy's "Gangnam Style"

Psy's hit song blazed a new trail in terms of profits it earned overseas as well. According to music industry insiders, royalties paid overseas have exceeded W500 million (US$1=W1,152) since the third quarter of last year. This is the first time a single by a Korean artist has generated so much foreign revenue. Most of the royalties came from Britain and the U.S., and Psy split them with the song's co-writer, Yoo Gun-hyung, at a ratio of 3:1. "Royalties are still being generated, mostly from clubs and online music sites. Many parties, including YouTube in Europe, haven't paid up in full yet, so the total earnings will increase further," estimated one music industry insider. YouTube said on Monday that other Korean music videos have become much more popular in the wake of "Gangnam Style." It said the number of online clicks they receive has almost tripled since the release of "Gangnam Style," suggesting a healthy spillover effect for the industry. Psy's music video has attracted 1.7 billion views as of Friday, meaning it is likely to keep boosting interest in other K-pop singers.

When the music video for Psy's "Gangnam Style" was released, few people expected it to become such a global sensation -- topping charts and smashing records around the world, emerging as the most-viewed video on YouTube, and spawning the most emulated dance in recent memory. It has been about a year since Psy released the music video that subsequently went viral, and it continues to set new records.

Korean girl band 2NE1’s new single “Falling in Love” hit the Internet right after midnight yesterday and quickly shot to the top of all nine of Korea’s real-time streaming charts - a feat referred in the local press as an “all kill.” In addition, “Falling in Love” topped many international charts, including the iTunes singles charts in the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam. The reggae-tinged single also made noise on several song charts in the West, including Finland (where it rose to 15th), Hungary (21st), Sweden (23rd), Poland (61st), Mexico (70th) and Norway (77th). Demand for 2NE1’s latest was extra-high as it had been more than a year since their last single in Korea. The first live performance of “Falling in Love” had been scheduled for Sunday’s episode of “Inkigayo” on SBS, but was cancelled due to the Asian Airlines crash in San Francisco. Instead 2NE1 will return to the stage on MNet’s “M Countdown” Thursday.

News : Niki Chow

Niki Chow is TVB's lucky star, seeing that her series has never experienced a decline in ratings, but it does not mean the actress wants to work for the company permanently, reported Oriental Daily. The actress recently revealed that she has no intentions of signing an artiste management contract with TVB and be one of their permanent stars. The actress expressed, "Despite what others said, I don't think I'm TVB's lucky star. It's just a coincidence that two of the series I participated in were aired in the past two months. Usually I just film one series per year." When asked why she would not sign a contract with the station, Niki stated, "What difference does it make? We already have a good working relationship. I prefer quality rather than quantity, and I don't actually work on lots of productions." The actress revealed that her plans of releasing albums and shooting movies are why she preferred to freelance, and added, "[TVB executive] Miss [Virginia] Lok understands what I have in mind and we have mutual understanding about the nature of our collaboration. There's no need for a contract when I have no desire to appear on other TV stations."

Upcoming film "Iceman 3D"

Rumour has it that Donnie Yen's upcoming film, "Iceman 3D", which was previously titled "The Iceman Cometh 3D" will be split into two parts, reported Twitch Film. Following extensive re-shoots, excessive spending and location issues, it was reported that the final product has 3.5 to 4 hours of footage. Instead of editing the movie into two hours, the producers have decided to turn the movie into two parts. It was stated that the "Iceman 3D Part I" will be released this Christmas, while "Iceman 3D Part II" will be out on Chinese New Year next year. The split seems to be a smart move on the producers' part, seeing that the movie has already gone over budget. Directed by Law Wing Chung, the remake of Clarence Fok's 1989 film, "Iceman 3D" stars Donnie Yen as a warrior from the Ming era who, together with his nemesis (played by Wang Baoqiang) are frozen during a fight. Decades later, they are defrosted, and decide to continue where they left off in modern day Hong Kong.

Yesterday when he was at Tsim Sha Tsui, he had a different feeling, many people greeted him and called him "Fred Cheng". People on the street told him to "add oil", allowing Fred to feel how enthusiastic Hong Kong people can be. This was the first time he had this feeling in 10 years.

News : Voice of Stars

TVB's new celebrity singing contest Voice of Stars premiered last night. Oscar Leung, Mandy Wong, Carat Cheung, Benjamin Yuen, Ronald Law, Stanley Cheung and Fred Cheng appeared on the first episode. Eric Moo, Eric Kwok, Sally Yeh and Dominic Chow were the four "star-level" judges. On the day of the show's recording, Oscar performed Danny Chan's Wait and was heavily criticized by the judges for his poor performance. Eric Moo made the harshest comment -- Oscar got the rhythm confused in his singing and that he basically ruined Danny Chan's famous song. Also, Oscar thought he was familiar with the lyrics, but he in fact he didn't understand the lyrics, therefore he was just singing "blindly". As for Mandy, she performed Love Is the Most Powerful but was completely off-tune and off-key. Eric Moo criticized her voice was dry and narrow. Mandy wanted to push the blame on it being her first time performing this song, but the judges criticized her even more and said she didn't come prepared for the competition. However, on the actual broadcast of Voice of Stars last night, TVB carefully edited the recorded version and wiped out all of the criticisms the judges made on Oscar and Mandy. TVB practically changed the criticisms into compliments; the company sure loves their "children" to death. In the premiere last night, TVB edited out all of the negative comments that Eric Moo made on Mandy and only left one comment, "you don't really understand your voice, actually you have a female's medium voice and this is your most attractive area." Even the audience was able to hear Mandy singing off-key, but none of that was mentioned. Mandy accepted a telephone interview and responded to TVB editing out the criticisms. She said: "Maybe because they had to shorten the recorded version to an hour long and TVB wanted a positive outcome, so the show highlighted on our hard work in rehearsing the songs." Oscar accepted a telephone interview as well, he expressed: "Of course its better to broadcast the unedited version. I am willing to accept criticisms. I know I didn't perform too well, but I tried my best. Well, they didn't just cut my part, everybody got some cuts. I am not sure how TVB does their editing." Eric Moo expressed: "I did what a judge should do. The editing authority belongs to the TV station, I will respect that."

News : Jolin Tsai

Taiwanese songstress Jolin Tsai wowed the crowd with three costume changes during her performance at the Golden Melody Awards last weekend. However, sharp-eyed netizens realised that the Jolin who was on stage during her 20-seconds outfit change was actually a stand-in. During the song ‘The Great Artist', the singer vanished behind a cloak for less than a minute, before reappearing at the opposite end of the stage. As there was some distance between the audience and the stage, netizens only found out about the “stunt” after photos came out in the news. According to Jolin's manager, the move was orchestrated to buy time for Jolin to change into another costume, and that they had anticipated the netizens' reactions. Although Jolin grabbed several major nominations at the Awards this year, she only managed to bag the trophy for the Song of the Year (for ‘The Great Artist') award. In an interview at the after-party, the songstress admitted that she prepared her speech for the Best Female Singer and Best Album awards, but not for the one she brought home. “That's why I'm eating non-stop to forget my disappointment.

I didn't win any directing award before, just a new comer award." He also admitted that the film and music making processes were drastically different. Film production was a group collaboration but song writing was solo. "I have been bored and alone for a very long time. I don't have any siblings, so I like to work with good friends.

News : Film BLIND DETECTIVE

Johnnie To Kei Fung has always insisted on principles. He never goes to cinemas for meet and greet and does not like to attend award ceremonies. However earlier he attended the Shanghai International Film Festival. Two days ago when he promoted his film BLIND DETECTIVE (MAN TAM) in Wuhan he was asked about it and helplessly shook his head. He said, "I will never go there again." His explanation was simple. "It's not a real film festival. It doesn't respect film." BLIND DETECTIVE has not had any cinema audience appreciation like other films. To Kei Fung said, "I don't understand why directors run around cinemas. If only this way can attract viewers, what kind of film is it? I have been to cinemas several times and already know how this game is played. I don't want to go anyway." He also criticized that some young actors do not know how to act or what film is! He joked, "You see how long I have worked with Lau Ching Wan. How handsome is he?" Some reporters nodded.

Little Siu Chun was born earlier than expected. When Ying Choi Yi realized her water broke, she immediately asked Siu Chun to return to Hong Kong. Siu Chun was lucky enough to return from Tianjin in time to be in the delivery room with his wife and witness the birth of his son under typhoon signal 3.

Thus after all the work on hand he would not work another Mainland series for at least one to two years. He whined, "Give me some time with my son first. My wife had to suffer to give birth to our son. This would be a type of pleasure for the parents." Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heung Wa Keung yesterday visited at the hospital.

Asked who he wants to kiss next? Dayo said: "I haven't kissed a man yet. I would choose Aarif Lee. When he won the newcomer award for Echoes of the Rainbow, he was sitting behind me.

Gallen expressed his amazement for the complexity of Qin Hui's character and strived to show the gradual transformation of the nobleman into a sinister official, although initial understanding of the character through his basic reading only revealed the court official as a traitor. "Qin Hui liked poetry and literature, and an accomplished calligrapher. However, sadly, his achievement in the arts was overshadowed by his crime of treachery and his betrayal to Yue Fei." Asked if he is afraid that he will be criticised for the role, Gallen expressed, "I was torn about it too! If the drama airs and no one hates Qin Hui, it means that I have failed. But viewers are different now. They know the difference between an evil character and the actor who plays it!" "Patriot Yue Fei" is slated to begin airing on 4 July, and also stars Huang Xiaoming as the titular character.
