Kay Tse and Ling Man Lung (along with directors Dickson
Leung and Kwan Man Hing) officiated the grand opening of the “Hong Kong Film
Gala Presentation and Exhibition” at The Starling mall in Malaysia. This event
is in-collaboration with GSC cinema chain.
A few new Hong Kong movies will be screened (at very affordable ticket
price – priced at only RM5.00) and the exhibition runs from 20 Sept to 3rd
October. “Out of Shadow” was shown
during the launch and lead actress, Kay Tse, promoted this movie to the
audience and media members. It is also
Ling Man Lung’s maiden visit to Malaysia and he brings his latest flick, “The
Remnant” (which also has Philip Keung in the cast). In recent years, Ling is a
regular in the HK movie scene and also appeared in Viu TV’s hit series, “In
Geek We Trust”. Ling is well-known in
the industry as a versatile character actor and has won rave reviews from
veterans such as Candice Yu and Teresa Mo.
Despite his age (38), he still retains his boyish appearance. In total, seven feature films will be shown
over several days during the gala. These
are Out of Shadow, For Alice, Love Lies, Once in a Blue Moon, One Night At
School, The Remnant and YUM investigation.
Out of these 7 flicks, my top pick is “Love Lies”, with singer MC
playing Sandra Ng’s love interest in an intricate dating scam.
