Hong Kong singer-songwriter Tyson Yoshi offered fans a glimpse into his latest cinematic project and playfully bantered with celebrity friends during a fashion event in the city late Tuesday evening. The artist confirmed that post-production is nearing completion for his short film, 1994 (Prequel), based on the music video for his hit song, 1994.
The announcement came during an exclusive appearance, where Tyson Yoshi revealed the project is currently awaiting final grading and regulatory approval before a highly anticipated premiere can be scheduled. Showing a dedication to his dedicated following, the star noted that the short film’s debut will be a “big event,” albeit one with a deliberately exclusive guest list. Tickets for the screening will not be available for public sale, but rather restricted to purchases via his official fan application.
Behind the Scenes of 1994 (Prequel)
The production of 1994 (Prequel) has garnered significant industry attention, partly due to comments from fellow rising star Jeffrey Ngai (Ngai Chun Nang), who recently suggested that Tyson Yoshi’s substantial financial resources made the prequel possible.
In characteristic style, Tyson Yoshi turned the tables on his friend, implying Ngai possessed equally deep pockets but chose to keep his wealth private. “Don’t underestimate him,” Tyson Yoshi quipped. “He often shows up for gym sessions sporting designer gear worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I constantly ask him to tone it down.”
When the conversation pivoted to Jeffrey Ngai’s upcoming feature film debut, Killer #4, and Ngai’s request for Tyson Yoshi to support the movie with a block booking, the singer humorously feigned destitution. “I have no money left,” he joked, explaining that all available funds had been aggressively dedicated to the short film’s production.
Adding to the mystery surrounding the prequel, singer Chow Yan-ting recently let slip that the film features a long-haired female lead. Tyson Yoshi remained tight-lipped about plot points or cast details, emphasizing the rigorous confidentiality maintained throughout the four-month development, shooting, and editing process. “I have been biting my tongue for so long,” he said. “If I say anything now, the audience will guess the entire storyline.”
Unexpected Star Encounters Mid-Air
Beyond his film production updates, Tyson Yoshi addressed the recent social media frenzy surrounding his chance encounter with veteran actor Simon Yam Tat-wah on a flight. A photo of the two shared by the singer quickly went viral, with some fans connecting Tyson Yoshi’s prominent tattoos to Yam’s famous line, “Get rid of it,” from the classic film PTU.
Tyson Yoshi confirmed the immediate connection, admitting the movie line was the first thing that sprang to his mind upon seeing the acclaimed actor. He praised Yam’s warm and approachable demeanor during their interaction.
The flight, it turns out, was something of a celebrity magnet. Tyson Yoshi revealed that other high-profile Hong Kong artists, including Raymond Lam and Jessica Hsuan, were also passengers. He notably managed to film a short clip with Jessica Hsuan, which he promised to share with fans on social media platforms soon.
The dual announcements—the pending release of his cinematic fan project and his entertaining run-ins with industry legends—underline Tyson Yoshi’s growing visibility across Asia’s entertainment landscape, solidifying his status as a key figure bridging music and film. Fans are now eagerly awaiting regulatory approval to attend the exclusive debut of the highly anticipated 1994 (Prequel).
