The Alan Tam Wing Lun, Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Chang Chen, Kitty Zhang Yuqi and Tao Hong starred Lunar New Year comedy GOD OF WEALTH (CHOI SUN DOH) will be released nationwide on February 9. Two days ago they attended a trailer press conference. The actors divided up into star team and GOD OF WEALTH team to wish the audience an advanced Happy Lunar New Year.

Alan's God of Wealth costume got the most attention as it united the traditional and the trendy into one. The team even surprised him with two Wynners members Kenny Bee (Chung Chun To) and Anthony Chan Yau. Alan said his buddies and said with excitement, "Although in the movie I play God of Wealth, but I truly still have these old friends in mind." B Gor immediately performed the Alan written theme song and even showed off his calligraphy with the film title.

With three Hong Kong Lunar New Year comedy films, 72 TENANTS OF PROSPERITY (72 GA JO HAT), ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2010 (FA TIN HEI SI 2010) and GOD OF WEALTH, Alan felt that this was not a sign that Hong Kong Lunar New Year slot has completely returned to warmth. He said, "After awhile comes a climax! Now everyone is back to Lunar New Year films. Because people's jobs are getting tougher and tougher, during the Lunar New Year they definitely want to watch comedy." Eric Tsang Chi Wai who gave no respect to ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2010's Raymond Wong Pak Ming swore to beat GOD OF WEALTH. Alan said, "I of course hope every film's box office will be good, but I said privately to Chi Wai, 'If you dares to hit the Wealth Lord you have to be careful. Nothing good would come for your film."

Yeung Chin Wa was asked about her wedding date again. She stated that it will definitely happen after her October concert series. In the film Chin Wa still plays a silly lady role. Now that she is married, has her husband asked her to make less movies of this type? She said, "Show business work is very exaggerated to begin with, whether on or off screen. In addition my performance is the academia style, my husband won't get the way."
