This year is director Derek Yee Tung Sing's 14th year in the business. Two nights ago after the Hong Kong Film Awards, he had a special party to celebration. Guests included fresh out of the oven Best Actor Sean Lau Ching Wan and his wife, Alex Fong Chung Shun, Fiona Sit Hoi Kei, Jessica Husan (Suen Huen), Nina Paw Hee Ching and Chin Kar Lok.

Siu Bo said that he hoped the party would encourage the younger actors who did not win; he also said that lately he started lending a hand to young Mainland directors. He also revealed that he might make OVERHEARD 4 (SIT TING FUNG WON 4) with all new actors in hopes of bringing in more freshness.

Two nights ago Fong Chung Shun lost to Kenneth Tsang Kong and did not win Best Supporting Actor. He said that he deserved to lose as the winner's acting was much better; he also said that Hong Kong film investment amount in general has not been as ample as the Mainland. Since he got into the business in Hong Kong he really wanted to help Hong Kong film. As for Siu Bo considering OVERHEARD 4 and wanting him to guest star, Fong Chung Shun joked that he guest starred every time.

Suen Huen just finished a film in Malaysia and played a mother. She said that her first film role was as Fong Chung Shun's girlfriend, now she had to play a mother. In 20 years Suen Huen has often played cops and judges, which even got dull for her. She revealed that TVB earlier approached her about a series and again with a cop role. She would like something fresh and did not mind playing a villain. Earlier Flora Chan Wai Shan reportedly got upset while making a TVB series and tossed a script. Suen Huen said that Chan has always been well behaved and absolutely would not throw a script.
