Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Kate Tsui Tsz Shan, and Samantha Ko Hoi Ning two nights ago attended the Lunar New Year film I LOVE HONG KONG 2013 (2013 NGOR OI HK GUNG HEI FAT CHOI) New Spring Group Visit. Chi Wai who just returned from the U.S. said that although the box office broke HK$15 million it was no match for previous years, but he was not disappointed. The most important was good word of mouth. He pointed out that every movie had similar amount of viewers, the cause of death was this year more movies divided up the cake. Its box office could not rival JOURNEY TO THE WEST CONQUERING THE DEMONS (SAI YAU GONG MOR PIN( was because its 3D ticket prices were more expensive. As for defeating competition Raymond Wong Pak Ming's HOTEL DELUXE (BAK SING JAU DIM), he said, "As long as we were able to sell we were fine, as long as everyone was happy!"

He explained that Veronica Yip Yuk Hing's comeback could not help but to have too little screen time, because the role in the script was that much. In addition now he would not force her to play the character in her youth. He even added a Bollywood dance for Hing Hing to perform. He revealed that after the group visit he would wait for Hing Hing to call from the U.S. and reply whether she would be able to return to Hong Kong for a series. Yet the key ultimately would be whether Hing Hing would be able to convince her husband.
