The thriller romance THE SECOND WOMAN (CHING MAI) two days ago opened officially on March 8 Women's Day.  Director Carol Lai Miu Shuet and actors Shu Qi, Shawn Yue Man Lok and Chen Shu attended the Shanghai press conference.  The event even arranged for a cake to celebrate Chen Shu's birthday.  In the film aside from the relationships between the Shu Qi played twin sisters and Yue Man Lok, the most
attractive was the director's special addition of the "act within an act" element that was on display as a play.  To Chen Shu who had dance and stage performance experience it was very easy, but to Yue Man Lok and Shu Qi the stress was enormous.  Yue Man Lok even joked that he was reluctant to recall the scene.

However their performance received the director's compliment.  Yue Man Lok joked, "Under pressure I had to release it, otherwise I would truly collapse.  So Shu Qi and I were very noisy on the set and fought everyday like crazy people."  Shu Qi also said that the stage performance was the hardest, luckily they had Professor Chen Shu to teach them a few tricks.  Shu Qi said, "Working with Professor Chen Shu was very comfortable, I really learned a lot."  The ladies in the film did not "fight" for Yuem Na Lok for the beginning to the end.  Shu Qi sometimes would ask Chen Shu for help.  Chen Shu hoped that after Shu Qi's fans watched the film they would not hate her, because she actually is a good person.
