The film GUILLOTINES (HUET DIK JI)'s actors Huang Xiaoming, Shawn Yue Man Lok, Jing Boran, Chris Lee Yuchun, producer Peter Chan Ho Sun and director Andrew Lau Wai Keung last night attended the Harbor City Christmas light ceremony. Reportedly Chan Ho Sun in a Taiwan interview said that Ethan Juan (Yuen King Tin) was this film's lead actor, last night Chan Ho Sun declined any interview but Lau Wai Keung said that the actor's roles were actually very even. Yue Man Lok said that whoever was the lead actor was not important, the most important would be the film would be a hit.

At the ceremony, THE GUILLOTINES's 3D trailer was shown. Each person made a Christmas wish. When the host asked about their Christmas wish, Huang Xiaoming joked that with six people on the stage he wished for each to make 100 million yuan so the film would make 600 million yuan box office. Chan Ho Sun wished for joy for all and smooth sailing through the end of the world. Speaking of 100 million at box office each, Yue Man Lok joked that it would be more than that. With Siu Tin's absent they could take a 20% discount. Huang Xiaoming's birthday will be next week, but he will have to work on the film THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR (BAK FAT MOR NUI) and attend the wax figure unveiling. He had to work on his birthday. Will he celebrate with his girlfriend? He only said, "Work!"

As for Chan Ho Sun saying to the Taiwan media that the film's lead actor was Yuen King Tin, Lok Jai said, "Whoever is first doesn't matter, the second, the fourth, the ninth actor are all great as long as the film does well. If the film isn't good, being the lead actor is useless." Lau Wai Keung said that each actor's role was very even, they were all lead actors. Lau Wai Keung said, "Three lead actors had their own advantages. Lead actors are lead actors, lead actress is only Lee Yuchun." Did Siu Tin get the more attention? He pointed out that he would lead it for the viewers to decide and see which horse would win the race. He joked, "If I am in Hong Kong, I would say Yue Man Lok is the lead, in the Mainland I would say Huang Xiaoming is the lead actor, in Taiwan Yuen King Tin is the lead actor!"
