Aaron Kwok Fu Sing two days ago went from Singapore to Taiwan to promote his new film COLD WAR 2 (HONG JIN 2). Originally scheduled for an afternoon press conference then a premiere in the evening, Sing Sing was forced to cancel his Taiwan itinerary due to Typhoon Nepartak and did not get the chance to meet the fans. He through his manager Siu Mei said, "I am very disappointed too, fans booked some of the screenings and I really wanted to watch with them. However actors are passive and have to coordinate with the film company arrangements."

Reportedly the film company decided to divvy up the troops. Due to the typhoon many flights to Taiwan and Hong Kong were cancelled. Sing Sing and one of the directors yesterday were to return to Hong Kong before the flight cancellations in order to attend tonight's COLD WAR 2 events in Hong Kong. Although the Taiwan premiere ceremony last night was cancelled, the indoor meet and greet event still took place. Director Sunny Luk Kim Ching led Tony Leung Ka Fai, Eddie Peng Yu-Yan and Chang Kuo-Chu in attendance. The film company said that Leung Ka Fai tonight would try to attend the Hong Kong COLD WAR 2 events but will have to see about the arrangements. Sing Sing due to work this afternoon returned to Hong Kong earlier yesterday. COLD WAR 2 opens today, as of 8PM last night the Hong Kong and Macau advanced box office was already over HK$ 4 million.
