Sammul Chan Doesn't Rule Out Future Collaboration With ATV

Sammul Chan went to ATV yesterday and met the company's high executives. Asked whether he talked about signing contracts with them, he said: "No. I'm just touring and meeting their people, including the producers, see if we have anything we can collaborate on. (Not afraid being boycott by TVB?) No such thing. The premise is going to a right direction.

ATV's high executive expressed they are inviting Sammul to attend to their anniversary events and star in their drama. As for this, Sammul said: "They did invite me. Depends on the schedule, but I should be in Mainland filming by then. (Now supporting ATV?) Not like that. For us, work is more important. I'm willing to do it if people invite me. In fact, I've been to TVB's anniversary events for many years. I want to experience ATV's, Cable TV's, and even Phoenix's. (Not afraid to be the victim?) It's a different generation now. I'm not afraid."

Sammul said this won't ruin his collaboration with TVB; plus it's something that would happen next year. He will be absent from future promotions of his drama "Relic of an Emissary."

Cecilia Cheung Didn't Get A Gift From 'Best Actor' Husband

After Cecilia Cheung saw her husband Nicholas Tse won "Best Actor" at last night's Hong Kong Film Awards, she also went to the celebration event with him. But she stayed in the car and waited for Nicholas to return. She disclosed in an interview that she didn't hear her husband thank her on stage, but she heard Carina Lau sweetly thanking her husband. She said: "I told him I was kinda mad. I won 'Best Actress' at 23 from the 23rd HK Film Awards. He won 'Best Actor' at 30 from the 30th HK Film Awards. What a coincidence. Of course I want to win the awards with him."

Asked whether she heard Nicholas expressed his feelings towards his dad like he did on stage, Cecilia said: "They only know how to pose. They rarely talk. Their sunglasses like glued on their faces." She thanked Chow Yun-fat for supporting Nicholas: "Chow is always the best actor in my heart. His praises to my husband touch me and make us very happy."

Cecilia said she is working on having babies again: "I really want another son to be with my two sons. Then another daughter. I want four kids at least. (What did you give Nicholas as a congratulation present?) I told him to give me something if he wins. There are two designer stores near by the arena. I was hinting, but he said, 'You said those, but I didn't promise.' Haha!"

Nicholas Tse & Carina Lau Crown 'Best Actor' & 'Best Actress'

Sunday night must be unforgettable for Nicholas Tse and Carina Lau.

The 30th Hong Kong Film Awards was held last night (HK time) and it was broadcast by ATV. Nicholas Tse beat his seniors including Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung Kar-fai and crowned "Best Actor" with "Stool Pigeon." Wife Cecilia Cheung was emotional when she heard her husband won the award. While giving his acceptance speech, Nicholas thanked his father Patrick Tse.

"When I won 'Best Newcomer' at 18, I brought my award home and told my dad, 'You said you filmed hundres of dramas and films, but have you ever won a HK Film Award?' I know he is watching it tonight. I hope he forgives the impolite kid 12 years ago. Dad, you're the real 'Best Actor'!"

Nominated "Best Actress" 5 times already, Carina Lau finally won her first HK Film Awards "Best Actress." She calmly accepted the award on stage and happily gave her thank-you speech, thanking her husband especially.

"I'm happy to be nominated, but I'm used to losing every time I saw others win it. I was very calm in the beginning, but now I have this, I feel very excited and happy. It can be very happy actually! Haha! I really thank Tsui Hark for casting me to play Wu Zetian. And Andy Lau, Li Bin Bin and Deng Chao. They are very serious during filming. Also to my mom and husband (Tony Leung). He sent many messages to me today. I thank him for letting me do things I like to do these years. I know I could never catch up with you (Tony is a 5-time Best Actor winner), but I will slowly."

The climax at the award yesterday was when Chow Yun-fat talked on stage. As one of the "Best Actor" nominees this year, he openly supports Nicholas, praising he could be the winner tonight. Chow also teased TVB during his speech.

"I can't do this in another station, only here. The Film Awards have been doing this for 30 years. I must say a minute every year, say everything I want."

Shirley Yeung Wants to Have Kids Before 35

Shirley Yeung and Vincent Wong attended to a kids event as judges yesterday. They both like children, but have yet planned when with their other halves.

Shirley said her brother already has three kids and she wants to be a mom, too. But because she doesn't want to be a mom at an old age, so she would want to do so before she turns 35.

Vincent said he heard it takes 5-6 million to raise children, so now he is saving money for it. Asked whether girlfriend Yoyo Chen knows his thoughts, he said: "We have mutual thoughts. Right now we'll focus at work. Hope to get married in 5 years."
