Johnnie To Kei Fung and Kate Tsui Tsz Shan yesterday attended the Fresh Wave 2013 International Short Film Festival press conference. Eason Chan Yik Shun was absent due to illness. To Kei Fung said that as early as when Tsui Tsz Shan competed in Miss Hong Kong he already saw the potential in hr, but he had no interest in watching television series and thus has not seen her performance. To Kei Fung felt that the people should decide whether to show their support or not. "When you turn it off you will have even more (choices), if you don't then you won't.' Tsui Tsz Shan said, "Very awkward! That day I have to work!"

Tsui Tsz Shan was asked if sh was afraid that the TVB anniversary show rating would drop. She awkwardly said that it was beyond her control. She could only do her part. She was rumored to be the Malaysia Astro Award Best Actress favorite. Tsui Tsz Shan said, "I haven't received notice from the company that I have to go to Malaysia, let me campaign first!" To Kei Fung suddenly said, "Turn off the television first!" Tsui Tsz Shan awkwardly said, "Today you asked me to come to mess with me!"

Speaking of Stephen Shiu Jr.'s claim that he would first hire HKTV employees for his movies, To Kei Fung said that it was very important to be able to help industry personnel and reiterated that HKTV's lack of license hindered Hong Kong creative industry development. "In the past when the two stations were competing, I once only slept 40 some hours in a month, but today's air wave has a lot of garbage, Hong Kong people need more choices!"
