The Dante Lam Chiu Yin directed new film THE VIRAL FACTOR (YIK JIN) after finishing its final shoot in the Beijing 798 art district immediately held production close ceremony.  Aside from the director, Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun). Lin Peng, Bai Bing, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Zhang Ran and other actors attended.  They even opened bottles of champagne with film company executives and attracted many reporters.

The background of the production wrap scene was winter with heavy snow on the ground.  Chow Kit Lun returned from overseas to visit his ailing mother Kam Yin Ling and met her nurse Zhang Ran.  Speaking of the wrap, Chow Kit Lun happily said, "After the production ends, I looked forward to the film's official release very much.  The entire team has been working hard for so long.  At the same time I also breathed a sigh of relief for Director Lam Chiu Yin.  During the shoot I saw how tired and exhausted he was.  Now it is finally a wrap, he should take a breath!"

Lin Peng worked with two hunks Chow Kit Lun and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung for the first time and complimented both as great.  Ting Fung was very handsome and Kit Lun was somewhat childlike.  She honestly said that she was more nervous about working with Ting Fung than with Kit Lun, because Ting Fung was very professional and excellent she could learn a lot from him.  As for Chow Kit Lun he was easy going, loved to talk, was not arrogant at all and was a serious actor.  Lin Peng even cut her long hair for this character.  She honestly said that she was reluctant to cut her hair but only this way was suitable for the character.  In her first action film Bai Bing thanked the director for giving her a chance to try and even honestly said that this was an unprecedented challenge for her.  In the film she spent most of her time in a bullet proof vase and a series of action and gun fight scenes.  She also had romantic scenes with Chow Kit Lun, but unfortunately she did not have a chance to work with Ting Fung and Lin Peng.

Playing Ting Fung and Kit Lun's mother, Kam Yin Ling praised both as professional and good actors.  Actually this was not her first collaboration with Ting Fung.  When Ting Fung was 19 they already worked
together on METADE FUMACA (BOON JI YIN).  At the time he was very quiet and did not like to talk.  She said that she and Ting Fung had little contact.  Instead she was close to his parents.  She also praised Ting Fung as a very hard working actor who strode for improvement.  She believed that he was the extremely rare breed after Jackie Chan.  As for working with Chow Kit Lun for the first time, she thought that he was a little shy, which instead helped their emotional scenes.
