Lam Ka Tung, Wong Yau Nam and Auyeung Ching (MC Jin) yesterday promoted their film GALLANT (DA LUI TOI) at Mei Foo Roadshow. Ka Tung expressed that this was his debut as a producer. He did not play a role. He said that this turn as a producer was very low key. Before the production he did not make it known. He said, "The movie was made in Hong Kong. It is about some older actors who are constantly overlooked but actually they are the real treasure. In the film they also bring out the message of many is better than one." Ka Tung expressed that this film was Andy Lau Tak Wa's film company investment. He said, "The film cost 8 million, how to spend the money actually was very hard. Being an actor of course would be easier." Did Lau Tak Wa come to supervise during the shoot? Ka Tung said that he did not. Wa Jai only said try to do the best and ignore what anyone else said. Wa Jai even made it sound very easy, saying that since a fall (box office) was expected. Ka Tung said, "I felt even more pressure when he said that." He pointed out that this time he asked many good friends for help and called in many favors.
