Patrick Tam works out hard to cosplay as the Incredible Hulk

Lee's (李思捷) program Sze U Tonight (今晚睇李). Patrick uses the phrase "many twists and turns" to describe going onto Johnson's program, he said: "Earlier, we've already scheduled two times but because of work, I couldn't go. This time, it finally worked out. Johnson and I have known each other for a long time. When we were filming for series Split Second (爭分奪秒), we would go karaoke after work. I would impersonate George Lam, Leslie Cheung and he would impersonate as many stars as he could. But back then people would take offense when we impersonate the stars but now no one minds."

He also said: "Later on, my new series will have promotions, I heard we have to cosplay. I haven't thought of what I would be, but perhaps the Incredible Hulk, my son really likes him! (Have to practice hard how to flex muscles?) Practicing now would be the perfect time, (Your pecs seem to be in shape now?) It's because this is a small-size shirt! Hahaha!"

Donnie Yen's nose is injured: It's not bitten by Tyson!

Five days ago on Weibo, Donnie Yen (甄子丹) uploaded a photo of his bruised and bloody nose and left a message: "To overcome formidable enemies, you have to pay a price. Location: Today "Ip Man 3" (葉問3) studio". Afterwards, he added more: "It's not bitten by Tyson (泰臣)!"

Patrick Tam (譚耀文) who is currently collaborating with Donnie in the new film, re-shared the photo and wrote: "Oh! Treat the wound carefully! Have to avoid soy sauce for at least three days!" Another partner, Ada Choi's husband Max Zhang (張晉) also left a message on weibo this morning: "Dedicated actor, Master Ip, hope you recover soon!"

The filming crew of Ip Man 3 released a statement last evening expressing that a few days ago, Donnie and Max was filming a fight scene using Wing Chun's eight chopping knives (八斬刀). Donnie was accidentally struck by Max's knife, causing his nose to bleed and becoming swollen. While attending his injury with ice, Donnie jokingly said that he's too worried about his nose injury, he's not practicing his scenes, obstructing the filming progress. Max explained that their mutual attacks were very quick, "Within a thousandth of a second, my knife landed on Donnie's face and nose. I am extremely sorry, really guilty, but I really admire Donnie since he is still able to use sincere laughters to face his injury."

Donnie is currently filming Ip Man 3 and collaborating with former heavyweight and boxer Tyson. Earlier, the two were filming a fighting scene, Donnie's elbow accidentally knocked into Tyson's left forefinger, fracturing it.

Karena Ng recognised Raymond Wong's lips but not Raymond Lam's lips?

Artiste, Karena Ng (吳千語) attended the fashion event and was given a lipstick with a crafted image of Raymond Lam's (林峯) lips by the senior management of the fashion company. When it was pointed that the lip image was related to her close ones, Karena replied that it resembled the lips of her boss, Raymond Wong (黃百鳴) and invited laughters immediately. Asked if she knew the surprise beforehand, Karena said: "I see the script beforehand and there was not much resemblance, as it was a crafted image but could see it was a male lips. (Give it to Raymond Lam?) He does not use lipstick at all. (Apply it by yourself everyday?) Nope and will keep it as an ornament."

Karena disclosed she was currently filming new movie, Ip Man 3 (葉問3) in Shanghai and specially took a midnight flight to attend the event in Hong Kong, but will be returning to Shanghai at night: "Shanghai is freezing and similar to winter season in Hong Kong. I am down with cold due to insufficient clothes. (Did Raymond visit you?) He is in Hengdian (橫店) and it will take at least 6 to 7 hours to travel and visit me. (How long you will be staying there?) I need to film another series and stay around 3 to 4 months." When mentioned there will be many actions scenes in the movie, Karena replied she will be beaten up: "I will be hit most of the time and quite frightened. (Beaten up?) I act as a villain with martial arts and it is very frightening and their blows are very powerful. Patrick Tam (譚耀文) will be slapping me in the movie. (Raymond felt heart pain?) I am currently filming gentle scenes but action scenes after that."
