Nick Cheung Ka Fai in the film THE STOOL PIGEON (SIN YUN) played a couple with dance expert Miao Pu. They had a romantic dance scene. Miao Pu had a dance background so the simple steps were no problem for her, but Ka Fai was a mess. He expressed that at first when the director talked about this scene, he thought that a few very simple turns and a few lines would do. However he never guessed that his dancing would be so poor. With two left feet and uncoordinated, he was as stiff as a robot. In his mind when he remembered his dance steps he forgot his lines. He was also constantly half a beat behind and stepping on Miao Pu's foot. He left a huge shoe print on her leg.

Maio Pu pointed out that although Ka Fai did not know how to dance and said how tough it was, actually his performance was unaffected because he would make up for his shortcomings. While others rested, he would practice hard. She admired Ka Fai's professionalism very much. They again played a couple after THE BEAST STALKER (JING YUN) and still had chemistry. Ka Fai said that playing a couple for a second time was a delicate destiny. He also praised Miao Pu's acting as more mature than in BEAST STALKER. She also worked very hard and often would humbly ask others for help. She was an actress with a lot of potential.
