2 films by star Hong Kong directors Ronny Yu and Tsui Hark you probably haven't seen
Here we look at two relatively unseen works from the star Hong Kong directors. The Occupant (1984) 'Long before he scared Hollywood with The Bride of Chucky and Freddy vs. Jason, director Ronny Yu Yan-tai made this spooky horror hit for Cinema City, a suspenseful mystery that is high on atmosphere and style,' noted the Hong Kong Film Archive in its programme note on the film. Play The Occupant is a very lightweight ghost story, a potpourri of ghostly horror, romance and comedy delivered in equal measures in a carefully understated style. The slim storyline is acceptable even though there are holes, and a top-flight cast of Sally Yeh Chian-wen, Chow Yun-fat and even kung fu legend Lo Lieh in a thoroughly thespian role delivers so much charm that it overrides the film's faults. Comedian Raymond Wong Pak-ming – one of Cinema City's co-founders – is acceptably funny, too, even though his role as an annoying and nerdy would-be Casanova was designed to irritate. The story – and the mystery – is so slim it is almost non-existent. Yeh's Canadian resident is writing a university thesis on Chinese paranormal activities and, by chance, moves into a haunted house when she visits Hong Kong to do some research.

Labubu dolls boost Chinese toy doctors' businesses, with 1 fixing 100 in a month
The craze for the plush Chinese toy Labubu has boosted the careers of so-called toy doctors in China. A Shanghai 'toy doctor' nicknamed Heartman said he had fixed 100 Labubu toys in the past month and had to ask his wife to help and move to a bigger studio. He said repairs were 10 per cent of the price of the toy, which is considered fair because an ordinary Labubu toy retails at 99 yuan (US$14). Under repair: A 'toy doctor' sets about fixing one of the hugely popular creations. Photo: Douyin However, they sell for hundreds of yuan on the second-hand market. Rare versions can cost thousands of yuan. Labubu is a character of The Monsters family created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung. Chinese toymaker Pop Mart began working with Lung in 2019. Last year, The Monsters series became Pop Mart's most popular series, seeing a 726.6 per cent increase in revenue that reached 3.04 billion yuan. One of the reasons behind the craze is K-pop group Blackpink's member Lisa, who expressed her love for the toy. Another reason, according to Pop Mart's investor Wei Zhe, is the toy's portability.
