WAOOOW! Congrats to Sammi and Andy! They like the Brangelina of Hong Kong:
Sammi Cheng and Andy plan wedding in AugustEntering the Year of the Dragon, the entertainment industry was full of good news. Two golden couples, Andy Hui and Sammi Cheng , as well as Aaron Kwok and Lynn Hung will be getting married this year! Sammi and Andy chose to get married near their birthdates in August, while Aaron and Lynn opt for a small wedding in June 2012!
Over the last 20 years, 44-year-old Andy Hui and 39-year-old Sammi Cheng have broken up and reconciled several times; their reconciliation in 2011 was hailed as “the reunification of the century”! The pair have remained good friends throughout the years. Under Sammi’s influence, Andy became a Christian and their conversational topics broadened, while their hobbies became increasingly similar. The couple preferred to go jogging to reduce stress.
In the past, Andy did not possess a blogging habit. Perhaps influenced by Sammi’s passion for writing, Andy started blogging this year to share his inner thoughts with fans. From both Sammi and Andy’s recent blog entries, they appeared to hint that they had marriage in mind. Sammi wrote, “Life is beautiful…make my life complete!” Upon discussing his mentor, Anita Mui, Andy wrote, “There are too many separations and deaths [in life]. You cannot say that you are unwilling and cannot let go. The only thing to do is to treasure the people before you!” Of course the person before Andy to treasure was Sammi!
Sammi and Andy reportedly started planning for their future together. Although numerous wedding rumors cropped up last year, it turned out that the couple had decided to get married in August 2012. The news has been acknowledged by Andy’s family and friends. Both Sammi and Andy’s parents were extremely happy about the impending wedding, with one family member even revealing the news to a colleague at work. It was understood that Sammi and Andy intended to obtain their marriage registration overseas, after which they will hold a low-profile dinner inviting their close friends and family. However, this wedding plan was not supported by their family members, who wished to be more involved in celebrating with the couple [via a larger wedding banquet].

here's the MV for her upcoming movie!
Sammi Cheng runs to save Louis Koo Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Louis Koo Tin Lok's most memorable scene in ROMANCING IN THIN AIR (GO HOI BUT JI LUEN II) took place in 6 degrees below zero Celsius. One ran while the other one drowned. In the scene Sammi saw Koo Tin Lok from afar and thought her long lost husband returned home. Seeing Goo Jai soaking in the spring, she immediately ran over, pulled him up and saved his life.
When they shot the scene in Shangri-La, the temperature was only six below zero. For such an icy and snowy feel, director Johnnie To Kei Fung deliberately chose the coldest time to shoot in. Sammi earlier in the shoot has already entered her character. In this scene her emotions completely flooded out. Sammi said, "Actually my first take already had a lot of explosiveness. After that I already felt like I was going to collapse." Finally the director still wanted Sammi to make ten more takes. Poor Sammi had to run, cry, yell and pull Goo Jai from the hot spring.
Goo Jai did not have an easy time either because he had to wear layer after layer of clothing and soaked his entire body into the spring water. Although that was a hot spring, with all the wet clothing Goo Jai was still fine in the hot spring. As soon as he left it the feeling was unusually hard to take as it was frighteningly cold. Actually he did not soak in the spring for long, instead Sammi took more time to drag him out of the spring. He felt very chilly. Goo Jai said, "Actually I really just let Sammi pull me, I had to play like I was completely unconscious. I was heavy so Sammi had a very tough time. With the hot spring I really didn't want her to drag me out. However because I had to be face down in the water, if she didn't drag me up I couldn't breath. I had mixed emotions throughout the scene!" After the scene, the team wrapped them both up tight, brought them into the house and used all the heat pads and heaters for them to get warm.
