Shawn Yue Man Lok yesterday along with Susan Shaw Yam Yam, Linda Wong Hing Ping, June Lam Siu Ha and Isabel Chan Yat Ning went to the movies for LOVE IN THE BUFF (CHUN GIU YU JI MING) viewer appreciation.  Yue Man Lok and Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun) are good friends.  Reportedly Chairman Chou was upset at the paparazzi for following him and his rumored girlfriend Hannah Quinlivan to dinner and got violent with reporters.  Lok Jai said that he did not know about it and said that the paparazzi have  greeted him as well.  He pointed out that some paparazzi crossed the line as their intention was to taunt and upset people.  However he definitely would not get violent.  Lok Jai said, "Everyone is at work, they can cover a story but hopefully not too excessively.  They can be more polite."

As for counterfeits already appearing online even though the new film was just released, Lok Jai was surprised.  "So soon?  I don't know, give it another week before pirating it.  This isn't good at all.  Everyday I have been looking at the box office charts, everyday it has been sold out.  Many people who couldn't get tickets are still waiting to see it.  Hopefully it won't be pirated so soon."  He joked that an eye for an eye he would hack the counterfeit sites and remove the movie.

Lok Jai continued that someone who worked at the cinema told him online that Chow Yun Fat went to see this movie.  He happily said, "I have watched many of Fat Gor's movie, now Fat Gor is watching mine and even staying for a few hours."  The film company promotion immediately told Lok Jai said that Fat Gor praised his performance.  He said, "I am glad, the third installment wants Fat Gor, either as my father or the
unusual father in law."

Wong Hing Ping called Lam Siu Ha who played Brenda and was paired with Huang Xiaoming in the film the envy of all women in China.  She said, "Many friends are envious that I embraced Huang Xiaoming, but everyone please take a closer look, he is the one who is holding me!"  She said that she was just acting so she was not worried that his girlfriend Angelababy would be upset.  On the set she did not seen Baby visiting.

Playing Miriam Yeung Chin Wa's good friend in the film, Chan Yat Ning did not use foul language but in the film had to use it as much as the director wanted.  Yesterday they gave away stickers with the film's sharp dialogue to viewers but were unable to add in foul language.  Chan Yat Ning performed a line on the spot as the director asked.  Wong Hing Ping whose classic song DON'T ASK WHO I AM music video was the target of Lok Jai's impersonation knew about the part before hand but was not ready for the result.  However she still liked it very much.  At the viewer appreciation, she joked that she did not dare to look at Lok Jai.  Lok Jai quoted the film exactly down to the foul language to tell her not to mess with him.

Director Pang Ho Cheung was grateful that the film made 8 million after four days in release.  He has always wanted to make a third film, perhaps about the relationship between Chi Ming's family and Chun Giu.  A viewer asked whether they would borrow Chin Wa's baby for the shoot.  Pang Ho Cheung said, "Her second child may be useful."
