The Fruit Chan Gor directed, Shine's Tsui Tin Yau and Wong Yau Nam, Janice Man Wing Shan starred film THE MIDNIGHT AFTER (NA YEH LING SUN, NGOR JOR SEUNG LIU WONG GOK HOI WONG DAI PO DIK HUNG VAN) earlier was screened at the Berlin Film Festival. Although the audience did not understand it, they felt that such an ending was regrettable and hoped to have a sequel. Actually Chan Gor had the intention to make a sequel, but it would depend on the box office. Chan Gor also denied that the film was criticizing the government on behalf of the people. He said, "No one is criticizing the government, this film is adapted from a popular internet novel from two years ago. Some things are just apt to the current situation. Viewers want to find a channel for release and thus start a discussion." Janice Man also agreed, she said that because the message matched certain mentality. As for what mentality, Chan Gor cut in and answered, "Now Hong Kong people's conflicts are too deep. They have many arguments but they shouldn't be misdirected." Chan Gor stressed that this film was a commercial that was richly entertaining.

Chan Gor after 10 years worked with Shine again and felt that the duo looked an actd more mature. Wong Yau Nam said that he did not understand why in both Chan Gor's first film MADE IN HONG KONG and now in AFTER he had to cry until he collapsed. Chan Gor also praised Yau Nam for his improvement, his crying was better than before. Yet he asked Shine and Janice Man to properly learn from "Sister Bau" Nina Paw Hee Ching. He said, "Sister Bau's crying scene in RIGOR MORTIS (GEUNG SI) was truly touching, you three have to properly learn from it!" Janice Man in order to bring life to a neurotic character added talking to herself, finger biting, and nail filing gestures to strengthen the character's uniqueness.
