The film YUET GUONG BO HUP (EXCEEDING LIGHT TREASURE BOX) two nights ago shot on location in Guangzhou. Gillian Chung Yun Tung was on the press release. If so, she and former rumored boyfriend Alex Fong Lik Sun will reunite. Yet director Jeff Lau Chun Wai has kept his lip sealed, only some actors admitted that Ah Gil has already started on group scenes.

The Lau Chun Wai directed YUET GUONG BO HUP two nights ago shot in Guangzhou. The production is rather large with over 60 Mainland and Hong Kong guest stars. Lau Chun Wai expressed that the investment amount and the release date was still unclear for now, but it will be a comedy. How has Ah Gil's performance been? He was somewhat surprised and pretended not to know. "We are still in negotiation, no decision has been made yet. (Does Ah Gil's participation have to be kept confidential?) No!" He revealed that he will approach CHINESE ODYSSEY actors to participate. Will he approach Yammie Nam Kit Ying? He said, "Earlier I seemed to have, but after writing the script I didn't because her previous character could not be developed. (Was she in poor condition?) I don't konw! I of course would like her to particupate and not bury her, but I myself couldn't get in touch with her."

Actors who appeared two days ago included Gigi Leung Wing Kei, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Betty Sun Li, Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Lam Suet, Fong Lik Sun and Stephy Tang Lai Yun. The film company press release included Ah Gil and other guest stars like Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, but it did not announce Ah Gil as a lead before. Siu Fong expressed that in the film he would play Guan Yu, Yuen Biao would play Liu Bei, Louis Fan Siu Wong would play Zhang Fei. He had more scenes with Yuen and Fan. Because his father liked Cantonese Opera a lot, he urged him to respect and play this character well. He said that he did not deliberately pray to Lord Guan, but everyday he would present incense. Did Siu Fong and Ah Gil have any scene together? He thought for awhile and avoided a response. "I had scenes with everyone. They were mostly group scenes. Earlier (Ah Gil) was on the set for four days." Did he chat with Ah Gil? Siu Fong said with surprise, "So general, anything could have been possible." How did he feel Ah Gil was? He said Ah Gil was happy. Later he whispered to Sun Li as if Ah Gil's participation had to be kept confidential. Reporters claimed that it was written on the press release, he said, "If it's written then we can talk about it."

Siu Fong expressed that on the first day he worked with Sun Li, she had to cry to him. He was caught off guard and did not know how to react except hold her. He said, "I am very afraid of seeing girls cry normally. My knees would get weak. Very rarely would girls have the chance to cry in front of me though." He knew Sun Li was very famous in the Mainland and hoped that she could elevate him. Sun Lin in the film would play the Rose Fairy and had the most scenes with Cheng Chung Kei. She said, "Cheng Chung Kei is very funny, his eyes are very small and he constantly widens them. I can't help but laugh." Earlier she and Siu Fong worked together in KUNG FU CYBORG (GEI HEI HUP). Although Siu Fong was older than her, he felt like a little brother to her. She also praised him for really knowing how to take care of and be attentive to women, but she honestly said that she was already dating.

Cheng Chung Kei two days ago wore a 20 pound armor. He said that before wearing this he already had heat stroke twice. Once he had to do wire work in a down jacket and fainted from the heat. He had to rest right away and replenish water. Thus he already lost six to seven pounds. later he will continue the shoot in the Yinchuan dessert. Was his rumored girlfriend Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin aching for him? He said, "No, when I am thinner, my endurance is better and more powerful." As for any scene with Ah Gil, he only said that Ah Gil would play Sun Shangxiang.

Tang Lai Yun and Leung Wing Kei were dressed as Western Territory ambassadors. They both bared their midriff in a rather sexy costume. Stephy expressed that she would only guest star for a day as Gigi's little sister. She said, "I didn't even try this costume on before. I too think it's very sexy." Stephy honestly said that for the costume she did not eat the night before.

Gigi praised the costume as very pretty. "I would have three or four costumes. Stephy and I both would play a piece of skin because Sun Li would turn into us after transforming." Gigi also said that she kept exercising and avoid greasy food at home. She also said that in this costume she really wanted to belly dance. "It's very hot here, but many actors are envious of how breezy I am." Gigi revealed that earlier she shot a durian eating scene. Although she has not had it in a long time, she still had some.

Tsang Chi Wai in the film played Zhuge Liang. He joked that he looked like Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo), handsome and smart. Did Chi Wai see Ah Gil on the set? He smartly said, "Ah Gil? I didn't see her?" Did he have any scene with her? "No, no scenes." Chi Wai honestly said that earlier he visited Shing Fui On. "After the visit I am at ease, he is in good spirit. We joked around. Earlier I visited him with Miu Kiu Wai. We chatted for two hours. At first we didn't know and thought it was very serious, but actually he was just in the hospital for the a check up."
