Director Fruit Chan Gor will adapt the popular internet novel LOST ON A RED MINIBUS TO TAIPO (NA YEH LING SUN, NGOR JOR SEUNG LIU WONG GOK HOI WONG DAI BO DIK HUNG VAN) for the big screen. The film version RED MINIBUS recently has already begun production. 17 actors (the driver and 16 passengers) were crowded into a red minibus for a very cheerful production. Chan Gor originally intended for the mother of three Isabella Leong Lok Si to make a comeback to play the female lead Yuki, but she turned down the invitation; he switched the target to Fiona Sit Hoi Kei, who was unable to make it due to her recording schedule. The chance to play Yuki finally fell to Janice Man Wing Shan. Although she was the "third choice", as long as the character had potential she might have gotten lucky.

They spent their first day of work on the reb minibus. Many were on hand, which made the set very cheerful. Wai Ying Hung and Man Wing Shan shot group photos with the red minibus from different angles; Man Wing Shan even posted a video on Instagram, as each actor introduced his or her character. RED MINIBUS fans also discussed each actor. Some commented on Man Wing Shan playing Yuki and said that she was pretty and suitable for the character.

RED MINIBUS also shot on Water Street in Sai Wan. Aside from the red minibus, an armored car also appeared. Aside from lead actress Man Wing Shan, Wai Ying Hung, Wong Yau Nam, Tsui Tin Yau and Simon Yam Tat Wa were among the actors who were present. They were in full costumes for the big scene as they entered a supermarket in protective clothing. Because the shoot attracted onlookers, someone posted photos online; in particular Golden online users were extremely concerned about RED MINIBUS, as they studied whether they were shooting a "SARS" or radiation scene.

LOST ON A RED MINIBUS TO TAIPO was an internet novel that was both science fiction and suspense. The writer was Pizza. In the story the lead Yau Chi Chi (Wong Yau Nam) on a certain night takes a red minibus from Mongkok to Taipo. After crossing the Lion Rock Tunnel he realizes that all the people and cars has vanished out of the blue, leaving only the minibus and its passengers. Hong Kong has become a ghost town. Then mysterious events take place, and a mysterious person of an unknown origin appears with a gas mask. Some of the passengers die without cause. They have to resolve the mystery to have any hope to return to the real world.
