Shaw's return to the film industry, TURNING POINT (LAUGHING GOR ji BIN JIT) last Wednesday held a charity performance for the August 8 flood benefit. Yesterday the cast including Michael Tse Tin Wa, Tracy Ip Chui Chui, Koni Lui Wai Yi, Lorretta Chow Mei Yun and Sherry Chan Song attended a check presentation ceremony.

This performance raised 320,000, which Performing Artist Guild representative Eric Tsang Chi Wai presented to Hong Kong Red Cross. Ip Chui Chui and Lui Wai Yi both appeared, but Chui Chui's low cut clothing stole the show. Even Chi Wai joked that Lui Wai Yi lost to Chui Chui this time. Lui Wai Yi said, "I shouldn't be too sexy for charity." She added that Chui Chui was appropriately dressed yesterday and pointed out that Chi Wai was only joking. Due to the fate of her character, Lui Wai Yi would like to be able to participate in the prequel.

With both film response and box office successes, lead actor Tse Tin Wa expressed joy that the film broke Chinese film's Wednesday single day box office record. He felt that the amount raised was unimportant but the intention was. Chui Chui expressed that she was very happy about her first chance to work with many big stars.
