For the past few months, Vivian Chow has been busy accompanying her future father-in-law Ngai Hong (Joe's dad) who came back to Hong Kong to have fun. For this reason, Vivian couldn't spend much time with her mother and her family, so last week, Vivian especially brought her mother to an Indonesian restaurant in Causeway Bay. That night, Vivian paid for the dinner to make up for neglecting her family. A few months earlier, Vivian's future father-in-law Ngai Hong came back to Hong Kong. Vivian, being the daughter-in-law, was busy the last few months accompanying him to places, and also had to arrange his travel route. Her future father-in-law has already returned back to the USA now, so she finally has time to be with her own mother and to meet with her relatives and close friends. Vivian treated them to dinner at an Indonesian restaurant in Causeway Bay last week. Vivian parked her car at the Leighton Centre parking garage, and then she and her mother, who has to walk with a cane, and a few other relatives got out of the car at the same time and then walked to the sidewalk to wait for everyone to assemble. Vivian waited for a safe opportunity and then helped her mother walk across the street, and then the whole group went into the rather famous Indonesian restaurant called "1968." Vivian chose to sit at a table that was concealed and far away from the entrance. About 1.5 hours later, Vivian and her mother and the 6 other relatives came out of the restaurant. Vivian chatted with the relatives outside the front door of the restaurant, and then they decided to leave. After Vivian helped her mother get into a taxi, she went back to the parking garage to get her car, and was preparing to give a ride to her 2 relatives back to their home. Actually the restaurant Vivian went to that night was owned by the family of Jade Kwan Sam Yin's boyfriend, Alfred. The restaurant has been open for more than 10 years. Their famous dishes are reasonably priced, which completely abides by the thrifty girl's principle.     (Pictures from ent.qq.com) (Picture from ent.tom.com)

First time for Leo Ku to be the director; Vivian comes back to work for free

Earlier, Leo Ku had helped Vivian to be a guest performer at her concert for three of the shows, and now Vivian is helping Leo by being the leading actress in his MV. They're really helping out each other.

Although Vivian Chow came back to have a concert and to shoot advertisements, she still wouldn't accept any recent movies or TV series jobs which offered her lots of money. However, this Tuesday (July 11), Vivian unexpectedly appeared in Happy Valley with her usual Jade Girl image and was shooting a film inside a clothing shop. Leo Ku was also at the location. Vivian was there to help Leo by being the leading female actress in his MV for his new song "Too Late To Love." In order to invite the Jade Girl to come out of retirement, both of them are very good friends, and what's most important is that this was Leo's first time being a director. Vivian was still willing to help even though she didn't receive any money, since this was Leo's first time. One take is good enough It's already been 10 years since Vivian has acted in her last film "Top Banana Club." Recently, she finally came back to work. However, she's not acting in a movie or a TV series this time, and is instead the leading actress in her good friend Leo's MV for his new song. Although it's been a long time since she's acted, from what could be seen at the location, she returned back to her acting mode right when she got into position and didn't resist the camera at all. Most of the scenes only took one or two takes to complete.   As the director, Leo checked out every scene.         Vivian, who was in a really good state, was able to enter her role right when she was in position. Not acting as lovers Since Leo was the director of the MV, Director Ku didn't arrange for him to be lovers with Vivian in order to avoid breaking his concentration. Also, since both of them often appeared to be older sister and younger brother, if they needed to show love for each other, they were afraid they couldn't hold in their laughter and wouldn't be able to finish the shoot. Being the director, Leo would explain to Vivian how to act in the scene before they started filming each time. When filming only Vivian in the scene, he would walk to the front of the camera and would watch closely to ensure that the Jade Girl looks pretty enough in the film before he's satisfied with the shoot. Well, she's not receiving any money, so of course she definitely needs to look very pretty on camera!   The story talks about Leo really liking to take pictures everywhere with his cell phone, and when he sees Vivian, he would take a picture of her, and when he sees flowers, he would also take a picture.

Leo Ku and Vivian filmed all night

Leo Ku found Vivian Chow to participate in being the leading actress in the MV of his new song "Too Late To Love." This was Leo's first time directing. They started working 2 days ago in the afternoon and worked all through the night until early next morning. Two nights ago at around 1:00AM, Vivian and Leo went to a bar in Lan Kwai Fong in Central to film. The story of the MV has Leo rushing to arrive at the location after Vivian had arrived holding a small gift. Although this scene was very simple, Leo was still very nervous and would go outside to look at the filming location every time he had free time. He even took care of arranging the set and was so attentive that he personally poured the wine in the glass and placed the flower bouquets on the restaurant table.

Vivian and Leo Ku stay up late to work
(abridged version of actual article)

Vivian not only made a guest appearance in her good friend Leo's MV for the first time, she was also willing to work all night.

Two nights ago, Leo Ku was directing his first MV "Too Late To Love" and was filming in Central. Vivian, who has never made a guest apperearance in an MV, gave face to Leo and gave her first time to him. Not only was she willing to work all night, she even had to walk back and forth from the restaurant more than 10 times in order to film her buying a gift and then quickly going to meet her lover. Leo would frequently discuss the storyline with the cameraman and looked serious when he was giving out orders.

Vivian guest starring in Leo's MV...
(abridged version of actual article)

Vivian still looked attractive even when she walked quickly at her own pace.

Two nights ago on Wyndham Street in Central, it was very lively during the middle of the night. Leo Ku and Vivian Chow were filming an MV, while Eason Chan and Hilary Chui Ho Ying were out on a late night date, and Akina Hong Wa was out shopping for clothes in the middle of the night. Leo was filming the MV for his new song. He was able to invite his good friend Vivian to be a guest starring as the leading female actress of the MV. They worked until early in the morning filming in Central and attracted the media to gather downstairs from a restaurant to report the news.

Leo Ku dressed up well to marry Vivian

Last night, Leo Ku and Vivian Chow were in Happy Valley on Wong Nai Chung Road filming Leo's MV for his new song "Too Late To Love."

Last night, Leo Ku Kui Kei was in Happy Valley on Wong Nai Chung Road filming his MV for his new song "Too Late To Love." He invited his good friend Vivian Chow to be the leading actress in the music video. Both of them were filming in a wedding shop. Leo looked very clean-cut, wearing a tie and dress pants while holding his suit jacket in his hand. He took out his cell phone to take a picture as he passed by the window of the shop. It seemed as if he and Vivian were getting ready for their 'wedding,' but after they quickly filmed on the street, they both got inside the personal assistant's minivan and left. First time to be director for MV This was Leo's first time being a director. Before he planned the entire filming project, he gave his new song to Vivian to listen to. After she heard the song, she said she really liked it. Therefore, Leo asked her if she would be interested in being the leading actress in his MV, but who would have thought she would actually agree right away, and this is how they came about to work together this time.

Vivian made an exception to be the lead actress in Leo's MV

Vivian looked dignified and elegant in her dress. This is the first time she's the leading actress for Leo's MV.

Yesterday, Leo Ku invited "Jade Girl Master" and good friend Vivian Chow to be in the MV for his new song. Vivian and Leo have been friends for many years, so it's not surprising that they had an extreme tacit understanding between each other when they were filming. Yesterday, Leo filmed the MV for his new song "Too Late To Love." This was Leo's first time being an MV director. He was also able to invite his good friend Vivian to be the leading actress in his MV. Although the two of them knew each other very well and have worked together many times, they've actually never worked on an MV together. In the past, Vivian has never been the leading actress in another singer's MV before, but after hearing Leo's new song, she couldn't stop praising it. When Leo invited her to be in the MV, Vivian immediately agreed to help. This shows that their friendship is very deep. Playing around taking pictures of each other with their cell phones This pair of good friends filmed the MV yesterday at a wedding shop in Happy Valley. The workers used black cloth to surround the area before filming, because the shop was located in a noticeable place. When it was close to evening time, the black cloth was removed. Reporters noticed Vivian was wearing a spaghetti strap dress with silver color high heel shoes and looked very dignified and elegant. Leo was wearing a suit and was carrying a business bag. He looked like an office worker. Since the both of them have a tacit understanding of each other, they were very professional when they started filming, and during that time, Leo and Vivian also took out their cell phones and were playing around taking pictures of each other, carrying out work and play together.

Vivian and Leo Ku.

Vivian Chow and Leo Ku Kui Kei are very good friends. Yesterday, Vivian even gave her 'first time' to Leo by being the leading actress in his MV for his new song "Too Late To Love." Vivian has never been the leading actress in an MV before (she's been the leading actress in Hacken Lee's MVs before, but the MVs were the karaoke version and not the TVB version), but since this was Leo's first time being a director, she made an exception and agreed to be in the MV in order to encourage her good friend. The MV was being shot in a wedding dress shop. The workers used black cloth to surround the windows. Once evening arrived, they filmed Leo passing by the wedding dress shop and unexpectedly seeing a glimpse of the shop assistant Vivian. Leo looked very stylish wearing a suit, while Vivian wore a dress. They matched perfectly. They were very happy working together and would often use their cell phones to take pictures of each other.

Cha Siu Yan and Jerry Lam Hiu Fung talked about Vivian's upcoming charity concert in May.

Vivian giving her million dollars of concert earnings to help cats and dogs

Yesterday evening, Vivian was at a meeting to discuss about her upcoming concert.

'Jade Girl Master' Vivian Chow is about to make a comeback. She will be having a concert show on May 25th and May 26th at the HK Coliseum to help raise money for the "Non-Profit making Veterinary Service Society" (NPV) to support them in establishing the "Hong Kong non-profit making veterinary clinic" and helping pet owners who have financial difficulties, so that cats and dogs can be treated when they're sick. Yesterday evening at around 7:00, Vivian and the staff were having a meeting to discuss about her upcoming concert. Vivian said, "This time I hope I can use my popularity and also the trust that everyone has in me to raise a 7-figure amount of money in order to open the non-profit making veterinary clinic and to pay for the service expenses for the first year. I hope I can be the first to do this action, and in the future, have other people join in on helping to raise funds. If this wasn't such a meaningful thing, I wouldn't have decided to have a concert, because having a concert is a lot of work and very tiring. I have a family now and need to take care of the cats and dog!" It's known that Vivian is giving all of her concert earnings of more than HK$1 million to the charity. She's giving money and doing work to support the establishment of the "Hong Kong non-profit making veterinary clinic," and she has left a message at the website of the "Non-Profit making Veterinary Service Society," hoping everyone supports her decision. According to some news which was leaked out, there was originally a wealthy person who was willing to give money to support NPV, but then the person decided not to give the money, which destroyed the plans for NPV. Then when Vivian found out about this, she immediately decided to help and give support to the cats and dogs.

Raising money for a non-profit making veterinary clinic;
Vivian is going to perform again at the HK Coliseum to help the cats and dogs

Yesterday Vivian went to Kowloon Bay to have a meeting about her upcoming concert in May.

There have been many rumors about Vivian making a comeback, but all along she hasn't been tempted by money to change her ordinary life. However, she loves cats and dogs as if it's her life. When she found out the "Non-Profit making Veterinary Service Society" (NPV) was trying to raise money to establish a "Hong Kong non-profit making veterinary clinic," she didn't hesitate to agree to sing for the cats and dogs, to plan for the well-being for the pets. There was a report that Vivian will be having a comeback concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum in May and will have 3 shows on May 26-May 28, and that she's also planning to give part of her concert earnings to the "Society for Abandoned Animals." However, the correct news is that Vivian will be having 2 shows at the Hong Kong Coliseum on May 25 and May 26, and she will be donating all her concert earnings to help build the "Hong Kong non-profit making veterinary clinic." Her goal is to raise a 7-figure amount of money. It's been heard that there was originally a wealthy person who was willing to give money to support the setting up of the non-profit making veterinary hospital, but unfortunately the person later decided not to give the money, which destroyed the plans for NPV. Vivian believes that establishing this animal clinic can help pet owners with financial difficulties solve this difficult problem. The pets can receive medical treatment and not have to suffer from a serious illness. In order to raise money to build this clinic, Vivian has decided to step onto the stage again. Being the first to do this action Vivian hasn't performed on stage for 10 years. Besides singing to raise money, early this year in January, Vivian left a message on NPV's website stating how she felt being the mom (pet owner) of some cats and a dog. Yesterday evening, Vivian went to Kowloon Bay to have a meeting about her concert. When she accepted the interview by the reporter, she said, "This time I hope I can use my popularity and also the trust that pet owners have in me to raise a 7-figure amount of money in order to open the non-profit making veterinary clinic and to pay for the service expenses for the first year. I hope I can be the first to do this action, and in the future, have other people join in on helping to raise funds." The reporter asked, "When will your concert be?" She said, "If this wasn't such a meaningful thing to help this organization, I wouldn't have decided to have a concert, because I have a family to take care of now. I had a concert before! As long as it's for charity, I would have an interest in participating."
