Dior Cheng Yi Kin, Michael Tse Tin Wa, Jerry Lamb Hiu Fung and Jordan Chan Siu Chun yesterday promoted their November concert on Commercial Radio. Siu Chun was 45 minutes late. Ekin, Tse Tin Wa and Lam Hiu Tung praised the stage design as very pretty, but it had too many mechanisms and they would easily injure their legs while dancing. They hoped to be able to invite YOUNG AND DANGEROUS (GOO WAT JAI)'s actresses as guests.

Lam Hiu Fung admitted that he wanted to invite Gigi Lai Chi the most, as well as Michelle Reis (Lee Ka Yun), Karen Mok Man Wai and Shu Qi. However most of them were married and getting them to attend would be very hard. Ekin lamented, "Lai Chi, don't even think about it!" Would they consider their own wives as replacements? He said, "They are responsible for distributing tickets, we can't be bothered!"

Ekin hoped that viewers would attend either in black or gray. Would weapons like knives be allowed? Tse Tin Wa said, "You don't need to bring your own, the event will provide them!" He revealed that their new music video for VANISHED TIME landed Jan Lamb Hoi Fung as its director. He hoped to be able to return to the YOUNG AND DANGEROUS locations. Unfortunately the Tsz Wan Shan housing estate has already been demolished.

Tse Tin Wa's new series SNIPER STANDOFF (SUN CHEUNG JUI GIK) has already been accused of plagiarism before it was aired. Its poster and trailer were extremely close to the Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing starred film DOUBLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG). Tin Wa felt that all posters and trailers with guns looked similar and hoped that everyone would make the determination after watching the series. He said, "However being talked about is a good thing, it will be able to bring back memory and remember that Cheung Kwok Wing made DOUBLE TAP." Did he study DOUBLE TAP during the shoot? Tin Wa said that he has seen it before but not during the shoot. He stressed, "I can say that the series and the movie are completely different, 90 some percent different!"
