The Pang Ho Cheung directed film LOVE IN A PUFF (CHI MING YU CHUN GIU) two nights ago held a premiere and exchange forum. Actors Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Shawn Yue Man Lok and guests Anke Bui On Kei and Jessica C attended. Two nights ago the vent arranged for a strong man with a take marker while Chin Wa stood next to him. Was she interested in the strong man? Chin Wa joked that he arrived and left in a hurry and she did not get a good look. She said, "No matter what he isn't as big as my husband. He gained a lot of weight. Mr. Ting likes to eat but is also very busy, he doesn't have time to exercise."

Was she fattening him up to avoid competition? She said, "No, everyone would like to be a little slimmer. We want to be in a little better shape for the wedding photos. We don't want the photos to be false advertising." Chin Wa would like to shoot her wedding photos in an actual garden but actually computer technology would be used in post production. She said, "I have thought about shooting the wedding photos in Shanghai, my family origin Shantou, Chaozhou is also pretty. Because I often wore wedding gowns, I want to wear a Chinese costume for the photos."

The film after its release did not perform too well at the box office. Chin Wa expressed that she was not disillusioned. With the upcoming Easter holiday she had a lot of expectation. She said, "This time I already made a profit with the younger man romance, the DVD will definitely last longer than my life. Good movies certainly can last for generations to come." She honestly said that the cinema circuits would be more relaxed because this film was not a traditional category III film. Yet she would also serve her civic duty, respect the government structure and would only sigh once and applaud three times. She said, "In the film I didn't have a single curse word, I didn't deserve it." She said that the film actually taught people to quit smoking and had a positive guidance as an authentic Hong Kong film.

Yue Man Lok expressed that everyday he would check how much the box office was and hoped that box office would improve a little. He said, "Maybe because this film is a category III film, many cinema circuits couldn't show it. In particular it wouldn't open during the golden period." He said that everyday he received many calls from friends who praised the film, unfortunately the box office was not too ideal. He said, "Earlier I read some messages on facebook. They said that if people don't go to the movies then no one good would invest in Hong Kong films. The market would deteriorate and covered with big films. I don't know who the writer is, but I replied and thanked him for the comment." Ah Lok expressed that he treated his friends to the movie out of his own pocket. Will it affect his future roles? He honestly said that now he is still
somewhat in the blur on whether only big films had market, which somewhat influenced his job.
