"Eight Star Hugs Joy" - Yang Mi's blood-spraying swimsuit photos are first exposed, with her upper body almost revealed, attracting attention with a five-star rating.
The movie *Eight Stars to a Happy Reunion* led by "Four Kings and Four Queens" - Donnie Yen, Louis Koo, Eric Tsang, Wong Cho-wan, Sandra Ng, Kelly Chen, Jill Xin, and Angelababy - has recently released its first set of stills. In these photos, Yang Mi makes an impressive appearance in a swimsuit, her voluptuous bust almost bursting out of her top. She looks even more stunning than she did in the movie *Island of Fear*, and has been rated as having a five-star eye-catching index.

The movie *Eight Stars to a Happy Reunion* tells the story of several men coming to the aid of women who are either in a career slump or suffering from emotional trauma, all under the premise of receiving a sincere hug as their reward. Among them, lawyer Eric Tsang whose family has failed and spoiled rich girl Yang Mi, never-popular pop singer Donnie Yen and washed-up idol Sandra Ng who was kicked out of her house, construction site worker Louis Koo who moonlights as a model and female photographer Kelly Chen who seeks male charm, love-novel writer Wong Cho-wan who doesn't believe in love and blind woman Jill Xin who has never been in love. The process of these four pairs of vastly different men and women "help-help-hug" is filled with unexpected twists and bursts of humor.
As a new member of the "Happy Event" series, mainland China's popular actress Yang Mi plays a "quasi" rich girl in this film who is expected to inherit a 6 billion yuan fortune. In order to obtain this huge wealth, this "fake heiress" has to team up with her cheap dad Eric Tsang, whom she found on the "Happy Reunion" website, and use extremely unreliable methods to find an extremely reliable "true-hearted person". In a set of costume photos exposed by the production team yesterday, Yang Mi once again challenges her biggest尺度since starting her acting career after *Island of Fear*. This "rich girl" makes an impressive appearance in a three-piece wet swimsuit at her own outdoor pool, her fiery figure causing people to gush.
"To create a comedic feel, Yang Mi dares to try any costume, whether it be dressing as a dancer, a masked character, or even a mummy." Regarding Yang Mi's performance in the film, her co-star Eric Tsang said: "She is so beautiful, of course she can't hide it. Every father hopes that their daughter is beautiful. Most importantly, this 'daughter' is especially good at making me happy. Working with her really stimulates my desire to perform. On the set, she has already made me laugh uncontrollably. After the audience sees it, they will surely be laughing until they fall over."
The "Four Kings and Four Queens" ingeniously form a "hugging group", *Eight Stars to a Happy Reunion* dominates as the "King of New Year Comedies"
*Eight Stars to a Happy Reunion* continues the big star route of the Huang-style "Happy Event Series". Donnie Yen, Louis Koo, and others among the "Four Kings and Four Queens" form the most box-office successful star lineup in the current Chinese-language film industry. However, Eric Tsang stated: "We are not simply stacking big-name stars; we chose these eight because we see that they will produce a wondrous chemical reaction between them. Their unimaginable pairings will surprise the audience and also make them feel very... This time, each of the eight superstars undergoes a major character transformation, and it's hard to imagine their astonishing颠覆performances without watching the movie." Regarding the performances of the "Four Kings and Four Queens", director Cheung Ching-kah gave high affirmation: "Their acting skills have reached 100% of the standard needed for the story. More often than not, their comedic talent adds many unexpected surprises to the film. These are all their on-site improvisations, and the effects are particularly excellent!"
This year, during the New Year release season, although *The Flowers of War* and *Flying Swords of Dragon Gate* are evenly matched, the absence of Feng Xiaogang still leaves this season lacking a familiar festive atmosphere. Eric Tsang expressed that this time, *Eight Stars to a Happy Reunion* has spent a large amount of money. The four kings and four queens encompass the most box-office successful star lineup from mainland China and Hong Kong, and have invited the scriptwriter of *A Better Tomorrow*, Cheung Ching-kah, and the Golden Horse cinematographer Wong Cho-yin and other top-notch production teams to carefully refine a completely new script subject. It is essential that the audience sees a genuinely hilarious comedy during the Spring Festival season. "*Eight Stars to a Happy Reunion* is a classic upgrade of the 'Happy Event Series'. The word 'hug' in the title further embodies the down-to-earth nature of the new version. What Chinese people wish for during the New Year is nothing more than bringing happiness home. The story of *Eight Stars to a Happy Reunion* is more exquisite and interesting, with each plot point connected seamlessly. The main characters will all 'hug' happily in the movie, and we also hope to move the audience, making everyone laugh more and happily embrace their loved ones and friends during the New Year."
Although *Eight Stars to a Happy Reunion* has quite a large promotional push and its lead actors are all heavyweight figures, I, as the editor, truly cannot commend the New Year films produced in mainland China in recent years. Especially the few films produced by Eric Tsang in recent years, which mainly carry the label of being funny, have received audience reactions of "not very funny!" However, with Yang Mi's swimsuit show, I believe many will still go to support the film.
