In the Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and Tang Wei starred CROSSING HENNESSY (YUET MOON HIN NEI SI), the actors were often noisy and the production atmosphere was good. In one scene Tang Wei mistook Hok Yau for teaming with her "sassy" mother Paw Hee Ching to play a trick on her. Originally sitting at the coffee shop she left abruptly, leaving Hok Yau at a loss at the coffee shop. Finally he decided to run after Tang Wei to explain, but with the rage going to her head she of course would not listen. Thus they performed a struggle on the street scene.

Ordinarily easy going and mild tempered Hok Yau expressed that he never had any struggle experience with people on the street. This time he even had to shoot on the busy streets of Wanchai, which he thought was rather fresh. The location was busy all day, the early morning when the shoot took place was already a less crowded period. Yet with the Southorn Playground nearby, morning work out enthusiasts were abound. Thus the shoot still ran into inconveniences. Some passerby even stood and waited in hopes of a photo with Hok Yau between shots.

Tang Wei felt that the street shoot was very cheerful because her previous productions have only had the crew working next to them. This time however whenever they shot, the pedestrians would stop and look. She thought it was very interesting. Luckily Hok Yau and director Ivy Ho (Ong Sai) already gave her advice and prepared her mentally. During the shoot she got into character as if no one was around, otherwise they would be stuck on the streets of Wanchai and hinder the production.
