2010 Miss Hong Kong contestant Connie Man Hoi Ling in Wong Jing's new film FLIRTING IN THE AIR (TONG BAK FU ji CHUNG SEUNG WON SIU) went all in with an all nude performance. In the film she had a bathing scene. She removed her halter top, showed off her back as she sat on the bath tub and poured water on herself. Connie was very worried when she got the script. "I was really indecisive. Ultimately it would be my first sexy performance. Fortunately Brother Jing explained to me in detail the production situation and the scene and put me at ease." She revealed during the shoot the entire crew was very professional, which enabled her to get into character as soon as she took her mark. She said, "Actually at the time I used a lot of tape. After the shoot ripping off the tape really hurt, the pain lasted for several days." She revealed that Brother Jing has made many god class female stars, she felt very lucky to be able to work with him.

DaDa Chan Jing was more reserved, but she still had kiss and bed scenes with Chapman To Man Chak. To Man Chak could not be luckier being between two women. Ah Jat said, "Man Hoi Ling, all nude I agree with very much. She isn't a Japanese actress, for a Hong Kong actress she is very daring. (Aren't you lucky?) Actually I also have the 43 inch long legged Tong Chi Yui (Hazel). Brother Wong and I have worked very hard on the lucky part. Brother Jing for this scene left nothing to chance with Connie as he supervised this scene. He even took a long time to shoot it so Connie knew that everyone had all their efforts on the shoot and not taking advantage of her."

As for Chan Jing's performance, Ah Jat said, "After her comeback she seemed to be a smart as after eating Smarties. In one scene she and I kissed then went to bed, since we have worked together before we had chemistry." As for FLIRTING being To Man Chak's first film after his Mainland ban, the film company said that this is a sex comedy. When the production started it already was destined to be without Mainland market and would focus on Hong Kong. Ah Jat also said, "Sex comedy is hard to be a co-production. So it will focus on the domestic market and entertain the audience." In addition, some said that FLIRTING was Wong Jing's attempt to get ahead of TVB's TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES film version. The film involved pilots and time travel. Meanwhile, Connie revealed on Weibo that she received a moon cake from Best Actor Chow Yun Fat and his wife and felt very happy.

Speaking of her second bed scene with TO Man Chak, DaDa joked, "This time really is very different. He and I kissed, which was very funny. I really did the scene in one take because I didn't want a second time. With Ah Jat now I already have a lot of chemistry. In comparison to the first time I worked with him, I didn't know anything and was in quite a panic. This time he praised me for improving." Reportedly TO Man Chak and DaDa's bed scene trailer due to censor issues was banned from promotional use. The dialogue and content also needed to be edited and corrected for the official release.

FLIRTING IN THE AIR has already been slated for a October 1st National Day release. One of its trailers had the slogan of "October 1 peacefully save the nation occupy the maid" as a satire of the current Hong Kong. In the trailer Charlie Cho Cha Lei played the Grand Preceptor Wa. To Man Chak who traveled through time became the Wa house boy named Chun Ying. Cho Cha Lei firmly replied, "Haha! In my life I hate people call Chun Ying the most."
