Eric Tsang Chi Wai and Teresa Mo Shun Kwan yesterday along with many artists worked on a Lunar New Year program.  Chi Wai will perform in Las Vegas on the Lunar 29th with daughter Tsang Bo Yi, Michael Miu Kiu Wai and Vivian Hsu (Tsui Yeuk Suen), thus he jokingly asked Mo Mo who would spend the Spring Festival in Hong Kong with her family to keep an eye on the box office and viewer appreciation.  He praised himself for making a great film, better than the previous two years.  It had both happy and touching scenes and more content.  He also remembered to praise his competition Raymond Wong Pak Ming.  He said, "I heard his movie would be decent too, I am very happy."  Unfortunately two nights ago he had to host the Miss Chinese International pageant and could not attend his premiere.

As for his confidence, Chi Wai said that he has already won for two years and it has become habitual.  He hoped that they would compete and support Hong Kong films together.  Yet he immediately said, "I heard Wong Pak Ming's movie this year is similar to my format two years ago, with an ensemble and more songs."  Speaking of the film having to pay US$200,000 royalty for using a Beatles classic and in the last time switched to using Joey Yung Cho Yi's song, Chi Wai was asked why he did not use Raymond Lam Fung's Solid Gold Hit CHOK.  Chi Wai joked that he would give it to Wong Pak Ming.
