TRUE WOMEN ON SALE DEC 4|《我不賣身，我賣子宮》十二月四日公映|《我不卖身，我卖子宫》十二月四日公映

THE OPENING FILM FOR THE ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL 2008 TRUE WOMEN FOR SALE  ISFINALLY OFFICIALLY OPENING IN CINEMAS NEAR YOU. PREMIERING DECEMEBER 4TH AT APM MALL.for more details go to :  http://hongkongstar.com.hk/A simple synopsis I found online :

Director Herman Yau revisits   territory once more with  , except this time he has a little more fun. Taking place in local Sham Shui Po, the film details an assortment of lower class characters muddling through situations that are unique to Hong Kong and its people. Anthony Wong is Lau Fu-Yi, an insurance salesman who caters to working class stiffs, including temporary construction workers, one of whom cashes in his chips after an accident. Lau is charged with delivering the meager insurance payment to the widow, Wong Lin-Fa (Race Wong), a Mainland immigrant with one daughter and one more child on the way. Like many girls from the Mainland, Lin-Fa desires Hong Kong residency, and against his initial judgement, Lau finds himself helping her out.

Meanwhile, longtime prostitute Chung (Prudence Lau) has a special day coming up, and is looking for extra cash to fix her hideous teeth. She passes her days trying to earn extra bucks while also taking the time to worship dead chickens (which were killed due to the avian flu scare) at a makeshift local shrine. By the way, Cantonese slang for a prostitute is "chicken", so she's a chicken that worships chickens - get it? That little nugget of humor is typical of what's going on in  ; co-writers Herman Yau and Yang Yeeshan (who also collaborated on  ) tackle local culture and social issues, sometimes twisting them for off-color, self-referential, but still funny laughs. It's questionable how much really translates to international audiences, but the material is worthy, if only because it shows a part of Hong Kong that few films do.Prudence Liew is nominated as "Best Leading Actress"

in the 45th (2008) Golden Horse Awards for her performance in

However, these movies are rarely seen these recent years ,mainly due to joint ventures,  and of course, commercial reasons. I sincerely hope that movie lovers will not miss the chance to watch this movie in the theatre, a movie which brings back the originality and style of what a Hong Kong movie should be.

This is for people in SINGAPORE. My previous movie, after participating in the films festivals in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Pusan and Tokyo, this time around, it is going to be in Singapore's Asia Media Festival 2008 with two nominations, "The Best Film" & "The Best Producer". Sadly, I am unable to be back for this special event.

Pls go tohttp://www.asianfirstfilms.com/nominated.html#filmto check out screening schedules for A Decade Of Love and also many other interesting movies fromm around Asia.Those in Hong Kong, pls show your support for True Women For Sale and please take some time to leave me some comments after watching it .

Thanks a million!

亞洲電影節2008的開幕電影《我不賣身，我賣子宮》 終於正式公映。首映禮於十二月四日晚上於APM購物中心舉行。有關詳情可到http://hongkongstar.com.hk/查看我在網上找到一個簡單的概括:

邱禮濤導演藉這次更有趣的《我不賣身，我賣子宮》再次回到《性工作者》的領域。影片圍繞着發生在香港深水埗區的各種各樣低下層人物所面對的獨特情況。保險推銷員 劉富意(黃秋生飾)的主要 顧客多為工人階級如一些臨時建築工人。很不幸，其中一個 顧客因意外身亡， 劉被派往 負責跟進支付保險金與顧客的遺孀黃蓮花(黃婉伶飾)。帶着一個女兒和腹大便便的蓮花和許多來自內地女孩子一樣，希望在香港居留，但此時劉發現自己改變了最初的判斷，幫助蓮花。

與此同時，長期黎鐘鐘(劉美君飾)為了迎接去見她人生中最重要的一個人這個特殊的日子到來，正在尋找額外的現金，以便將爛牙鑲好。每天在賺取額外金錢的同時，她也會抽出時間到簡陋的廟來參拜死雞(於禽流感時期被殺死的)。順便說一下，粵語俚語中的是"雞"，所以她是一只崇拜雞的雞-明白嗎?這些就是在《我不賣身，我賣子宮》中的典型小幽默;邱禮濤導演與編劇楊漪珊(倆人也曾在《性工作者十日談》中合作過)透過扭曲和自我參考來探討文化和社會問題，但仍不失其趣味性。雖然這些內容香港電影很少涉及，而且非本地的觀眾也許不能完全理解，但還是值得的。劉美君獲第四十五屆金馬獎「最佳女主角」獎項提名

Video: http://http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=juJHlQ0yn6w 許多年前，香港電影因善於描繪香港的生活和文化而非常成功。然而，由於合資企業和商業上的原因，這些年來也都很少見到這些電影。我真誠地希望，電影愛好者不會錯過這部將香港電影應有的創意和風格帶 回來的影片。

新加坡的朋友們請留意。繼香港，上海，釜山和東京電影節之後，我有幸參與其中"清芳"這一個故事的電影《十分鐘情》這次在新加坡的「亞洲媒體節2008」中被提名角逐 "最佳電影" 和 "最佳製作人"獎。但可惜的是我不能回來出席這次盛會。

電影《十分鐘情》和許多來自亞洲其他地區的有趣電影於媒體節的放影時間表可到  http://www.asianfirstfilms.com/nominated.html#film 查看。至於在香港的朋友們，請支持《我不賣身，我賣子宮》和給我一些寶貴的意見。

萬分感激！
