Andy Lau, one of Chinese cinema’s biggest stars, ran the fourth leg of the Olympic torch relay in Hong Kong on Friday 2nd May. This great shot shows him still holding on to the torch on the bus after it had been officially passed on!

Compiled by LAWRENCE VAN GELDER
Published: April 15, 2008
Jet Li, above, was named best actor when the Hong Kong film awards were handed out late Sunday in a glittering ceremony, Agence France-Presse reported. Mr. Li won for his performance in “The Warlords,” an action drama set in 19th-century China that also carried off the prizes for best film and best director (Peter Chan) among its eight awards. Andy Lau, a co-star of “The Warlords,” won the prize for best supporting actor for the crime thriller “Protégé,” and Siqin Gaowa of the quirky tragicomedy “The Postmodern Life of My Aunt” was chosen best actress. The award for best Asian film went to Ang Lee for “Lust, Caution,” and a lifetime achievement award was given to Raymond Chow, whose Golden Harvest studios fostered the careers of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee.

The films are:

* Zhang Yibai’s Lost Indulgence, a drama set in Chongqing about a passenger who moves in with the family of a driver after he dies in a car accident.
* Han Yan’s Winds of September — The Chinese Mainland Chapter, part of coming-of-age trilogy.
* A Decade of Love, 10 short films, each 10 minutes long, by 10 new Hong Kong directors on the subject of love in Hong Kong.

While the films contain nothing overtly controversial and the Associated Press says no official reasons have been given for the lack of approval, filmmakers are concerned about China’s tightening grip on the media in anticipation of the Beijing Olympics in the summer.

Chinese director Lou Ye and producer Nai An were banned from making movies in China for five years after showing their romance, Summer Palace, at the Cannes Festival in 2006 without clearing it with Chinese censors.

Chen is helping police in their investigation as to how the images were stolen from the star’s computer when he sent it in for repairs. In the meantime the HK heartthrob has announced an indefinite withdrawal from the local movie and entertainment business. Hopefully, when the hypocritical mass media feeding frenzy has quietened down he’ll be able to return to work…
