Cheung Kai Chung ran into Wong Man Tak at the press conference and praised his looked. "Standing next to him I am not as manly as him." Cheung Kai Chung expressed that this will be his first turn as a director. He expressed that he has never tried drugs. In the film his segment subject will be family. Will he ask his son to guest star? He said that his son was only two and he was afraid that he would not be able to control his son. Will Cheung Kai Chung approach Kelvin Kwan Chor Yiu and Jill Vidal (Wai Si) for their perspective as children? He said, "I don't think that will be necessary, but I will visit children who have been in contact with drugs in the community for an understanding."

Wong Man Tak expressed that he already quitted smoking marijuana. He said that drug was very dangerous and could make people lose their lives. Will Wong Man Tak approach Kwan Chor Yiu and Wai Si to help with the promotion? He expressed that he could not make the decision without a script.
