If Dante Lam will be able to bring Nick Cheung and Tony Leung Chiu Wai together, viewers will be in luck. |

Nick Cheung Ka Fai in Dante Lam Chiu Yin's previous film UNBEATABLE (GIK JIN) played a muscular fighter. This time in THAT DEMON WITHIN (MOR GAING) he played a demon cop and that different was enormous. Actually this was Lam Chiu Yin's deliberate design. Last time was Heaven and this time he and Ka Fai both fell into Hell. He said, "Last time UNBEATABLE was very inspirational, it was Heaven. This time I fell in Hell with Ka Fai. Only polar opposites would have impact and freshness. Otherwise I am afraid that it will be similar to the last time." Lam Chiu Yin praised Ka Fai for his smile and expression that already expressed his inner complexity in the trailer and made many people imagine. He also pointed out that was Cheung Ka Fai's power today and the reason that he asked Cheung Ka Fai to perform.
Would Lam Chiu Yin make a film with Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Cheung Ka Fai? Lam Chiu Yin admitted that he contacted Wai Jai and indeed wanted to bring him together with Ka Fai. He was coming up with a script but it was very difficult. He said, "Since they come together, it absolutely has to be the best." Ka Fai also looked forward to working with Wai Jai. "I have never worked with Wai Jai, this is a dream production team. Everyone knows that Wai Jai wouldn't joke with you during the performance. Lam Chiu Yin's films are very rich in drama; if we are able to make a drama, it will be fresh and attractive. I hope it will happen."
Ka Fai and Wai Jai have not worked together yet, but on the 13th they will compete for the Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor. Ka Fai would only participate with pleasure. He would be just as happy no matter who won, because everyone was still active members of the Hong Kong film industry. He still would continue to work hard. Whether he wins or not, he will still have opportunities in the future. Ka Fai never thought of himself as the favorite. He said, "If I lose there is nothing you can do." Lam Chiu Yin of course picked Ka Fai as the Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor favorite because in UNBEATABLE we saw a different Cheung Ka Fai.
