The Tsui Hark directed new concept 3D wuxia epic FLYING SWORD OF DRAGON GATE (LUNG MOON FEI GAP) yesterday held a production wrap press conference in Beijing. Tsui Hark and lead actors Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Chris Lee Yuchun, Kwai Lun-Mei and Mavis Fan Hiu Huen attended, but Jet Li (Lee Nin Kit) was absent. To be able to work with Kit Jai 14 years later, Tsui Hark honestly said that his years of experience caught his eyes. This time the biggest bright spot was to make his action different. Less than a minute of 3D video was shown.

Due to the film's tough production and the actors' deep relationships, both Zhou Xun and Kwai Lun-Mei broke down in tears. Zhou Xun even said that with Tsui Hark, Chen Kun, Kwai Lun-Mei, Lee Yuchun, Fan Hiu Huen and others she set up the "Dragon Gate Alumni Association" and also recommended Tsui Hark to be the president. Zhou Xun said, "If later someone asked where I came from, I would say I was from 'Dragon Gate Generation I'." Chen Kun described this shoot was like a dream, but to the 'Dragon Gate Generation I' it was a good dream. Kwan Lun-Mei choked up as she said, "I never imagined that everyone would get along so famously, hopefully this team will never break up." Lee Yuchun revealed that through this film he found another side. "Actually I was quite a robber." In the film she still would challenge a romantic scene for the first time.
