Stanley Kwan says Cecilia Cheung was unaffected on the set

The 2011 Taipei Film Festival's Taipei Film Awards will take place August 7. On the jury are Chang Chen, Stanley Kwan Kam Peng, and Jonathan Lee Chung Sing. Yesterday they met the press in Taipei. Ah Kwan said that from the nominations he saw more and more young directors are entering Taiwan's film industry. In addition Taiwan has always encouraged film industry professionals to invest in local productions, which makes him truly envious because now Hong Kong film professionals must accommodate the Mainland market and few can have their own ideas. Speaking of opportunities for film collaborations between both sides of the strait, Ah Kwan felt that opportunities would only grow. This trend was certain, he would like the chance and hope to work with Taiwan actors so Chinese films would not be so dull. Ah Kwan's new film REPEAT I LOVE YOU starred Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi. Speaking of the "Fung Chi" marriage troubles, Ah Kwan honestly said that when he spoke with Pak Chi they only talked about work. Her mood was rather stable. He also said that Pak Chi due to the marriage troubles sometimes would look very low, but as soon as she took her mark under the camera she still was a great actress.

Chang Chen said that this time his identity on the Taipei Film Award jury was somewhat awkward. Ultimately he had to work many of his friends' performances in the movies. He also said that the Taipei film industry environment is gradually taking off as he looked forward very much to the changes in the next two or three years; Lee Chung Sing said that this time Taipei Film Festival chair Sylvia Chang (Cheung Ngai Ga) invited him to be on the jury with a musician's perspective. He hoped through this chance to be able to interact with the film industry. If the chance would arise in the future, he would not eliminate the possibility of working on film scores with directors.
