During the press conference, she even spoke a few Hakka phrases. She said, “Although I am a Hakka, but I seldom speak Hakka with people in real life. Surprisingly, the director requested me to take up the challenge in speaking Hakka during the show, so there’s a bit of stress playing this role. Although the character is totally different from the real me, I am having a lot of fun role-playing it.”

During the press conference, 《花啦啦歌舞团》casts have shown us how they looked like in their costumes. Most of them have admitted that their characters in the show are a challenge for them because the characters’ personalities are different from their real life.

Therefore, he has to perform love songs sentimentally and he also needs to show a handsome presentation. Media members have also asked him whether he will get advice and guidance from 杨伟汉，he admitted that he has always respected杨伟汉 and hopes to learn from him. While he can learn from 杨伟汉, he hopes that he can have his own style of role-playing too.

Director 导演 Recalls Her Childhood Memory

《花啦啦歌舞团》Singing Market The Musical director何灵慧stated，every character has different designs which not only let the audience recall the 70s in Malaysia , it has also made her recall her childhood memories in Pasar.

However, due to the advancement of technology, she felt that the relationship between people has become further and further. Hence, she hopes that she can deliver the importance of friendship, family and love to the audience and let the audience recall and feel the taste of human relationships during the 70s.

The stage decoration is based on the theme of “Pasar” during the 70s. The main objective for this is to draw the audience more into the singing market.

Press Conference & Media Preview of "Dampak"

Press Conference & Media Preview of "Dampak"

Kuala Lumpur, 8^th September  2013 – A few days ago there was media premiere of a local film known as “Dampak” which has taken place in cineleisure, e@curve.

Dampak is an action packed revenge oriented Malaysia film which features Aaron Aziz as the lead actor and is produced by a renowned production company Apes Haus and Ops Picture Sdn Bhd, under the direction of filmmaker Lai Yuk Long. It also features other notable casts such as Farid Kamil, Intan Ladyana, Cat Farish, Juliana Evans, Scha Alyahya as well as martial arts actor Michael Chin.

First Look of “Dampak” & Press Conference:

The movie revolves around the story of five siblings who seek revenge against the enemy of their stepfather. Aaron Aziz, Farid Kamil, Intan Ladyana, Juliana Evans and Michael Chin played as siblings in the movie.

Action-packed movie!

The movie itself has quite a number of action scenes. According to the actors and actresses, the stunts in the movie were all done by them their own. So it’s a very appreciable effort by the casts!

It’s like a graphical novel, not a gangster movie!

Despite of involving major gangsterism theme in it, the director, Lai has mentioned that the movie is actually more like a graphical novel instead of a gangster movie. It’s something like a fantasy movie.

Intan Ladyana takes on the tough challenges!

In this film, Intan Ladyana has to face a few challenges. One of it is that she’s required to portray a character who smokes inside the movie. It was kind of tough for her because in real life she does not like smoking at all. Apart from that, the biggest challenge is the rape scene with Farid Kamil. The scene itself requires some acting skills as she needs to portray as someone who is the victim of raping but at the same time having some urge to have intimate relationship with the guy. This is a very daring attempt taken by Intan Ladyana and she’s ready to accept any upcoming critics because she sees it as just an act and the scene is really required to make the story progresses.

21 days of filming in Klang Valley and also Pulau Ketam!

The film background setting involves a few places in Klang Valley and also Pulau Ketam because all the main characters originate from Pulau Ketam.

First Commercial Movie by Director Lai Yuk Long! The meaning of “Dampak”!

This is the first commercial film by director Lai Yuk Long. Lai also explained the meaning of “Dampak” from his own perspective. “Dampak” means impact and the movie focuses on how a person’s action can impact their life and etc.

Jury Sharing Session

Some highlights spoken by each jury:

Jury Wen Tien Hsiang

-     Through Local Films, we can learn the different cultures at different part of Malaysia such as Penang and Kuala Lumpur. Different places having different dialects such as Hokkien or Hakka are something unique from our local film.

Jury Sophia Hu Jing

-          This is her first time being a jury and she has gained many new experiences.

-          She has challenged her own limitation because she has to watch and review many ghost movies despite being very timid to this genre of movies.

-          She thought that Malaysia movies have many languages in it which are so different from China movies.  

Jury Lorna Tee

-          It’s important for all filmmakers to work together as an industry to gather strength so that Malaysian films can get beyond the Malaysia water.

-          The box office in Malaysia was growing well now.

-          If the Malaysian Film can be more universal, then it can reach out even further to the oversea market.

Jury Ho Wi Ding

-          Filming a movie is not like studying. Some of the times it depends on your intuition. Most importantly, we must not give up.

-          Filming a movie requires good stress-management and some soft skills in dealing with people. Most people only saw the outcome product but not all of them have realized the hectic life of being a director.

Jury Tian Koi Leong

-          To become a good screenplay writer, you must have the tolerance to sit on the chair surrounded by only blank papers for at least 3 hours. (he jokingly said)

-          After he has won the best screenplay of Hong Kong Film Awards before, instead of feeling contented, he became stricter to himself in order to become more improved.

After the Jury Session, all of the VVIPs, VIPs, guest celebrities and jury have taken a group photo together.

Anyway, do stay tuned for the awards ceremony. It will be hosted on 15^th October 2013, 8pm, in Hilton Kuala Lumpur.
