Lee Chang-Dong, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Johnnie To Kei Fung, Josie Ho Chiu Yi and Michelle Ye (Yip Shuen) last night attended the Fresh Wave Short Film opening ceremony. To Kei Fung praised Lee Chang-Dong as Asia's first director and joked that standing next to him he suddenly felt like he was dizzy and did not know how to make a movie. To Kei Fung has not worked with Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Andy Lau Tak Wa for 7 or 8 years already. He honestly said that if their schedules permitted he would like to make a movie, as for the genre they would have to discuss it.

To Kei Fung once called Stephen Chan Chi Wan "strange". Speaking of him being officially charged, To Kei Fung joked, "Finally someone asks me. I already avoided it and now it's inevitable! Any problem should be investigated. The court should decide the matter, today we shouldn't say whether he was wrong or not." To Kei Fung denied calling Chan strange. He explained, "That wasn't what I meant. He ran a television station, I came from TVB too. The television station is a complete machine and we can't have machines that stand out too much. I don't want to criticize him. Today I shouldn't talk about Mr. Chan, we have no proof. I shouldn't say so much, I have already said too much."

To Kei Fung was also Mona Fong Yat Wa's favorite. Has she made him an offer? He pointed out that his direction has always been in film industry development. In addition he and Peter Lam Kin Ngok had a very long term contract. He joked that he had to serve his boss. Although Goo
Jai was injured, he still attended to support To Kei Fung. Chiu Yi was studying acting with Jim Chim Shui Man's mentor Philip Gaulier. She reportedly turned down a Japanese film because of it. Chiu Yi explained that she accepted a Mo Chun Fai play and could not make the film due to
scheduling conflict.
