Focus on film, not my 'flings': Xia

Rising actor Xia Yu has talked up his new film but refused to come clean about his love life. While promoting his latest comedy Dangerous Games (Bangzi Laohu Ji), which also stars Eric Tsang and singer Gigi Leung, Xia said that the film has no real rival in the holiday season.

Although there will be many blockbusters hitting screens soon, Xia thinks Dangerous Games, which premiered on Wednesday, is a comedy that will make everyone laugh.

But when asked about his girlfriend Yuan Quan, a budding actress who reportedly broke up with him, Xia urged the journalists to focus on the film.

Chow finds new child 'genius actress'

Hong Kong actor/director Steven Chow recently

released the first trailer of his latest offering CJ 7 (Changjiang Qihao) in Beijing.

The comedy-meets-science fiction storyline revolves around a father-son relationship. Chow said he chose a science fiction story, because he has been a big Steven Spielberg fan since he was very young.

Chow's son is played by 9-year-old girl actress Xu Jiao. The director spoke highly of the girl, calling her "a genius actress".
