Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Sean Lau Ching Wan and Louis Koo Tin Lok earlier gathered in Xishangbanna, Yunnan for the new Universe film THE WHITE STORM 3 (SO DUK 3). Originally the film's main location was to be in Thailand. Earlier the film company also sent a large crew there for pre-production work and set construction. Unfortunately as the pandemic worsened there, the film company after considering a variety of reasons finally decided to abandon all the pre-production work that was done there to return to work in Hong Kong. It rapidly found a 500,000 foot location in New Territories, made in the Mainland props and large scale set decorations for the construction of an entire village and shipped them to Hong Kong. There it "constructed" a large sized Thai village. Such a construction made the film company lose almost HK$ 10 million!

As the Mainland shoot has already been completed, Sing Sing, Ching Wan and Koo Tin Lok have already returned to Hong Kong. Koo Tin Lok two days ago even appeared at an event, while Sing Sing and Ching Wan stayed home and rested. However on the rare occasion of returning to Hong Kong, Sing Sing two days ago went back to the company to handle work matter. Playing undercover in the new film, he in order to get into character became extremely depressed. On social media he posted his dark eyes and weary condition numerous times, even with an extreme hot cup in his hand he still was numb. He also posted that he was not afraid of hardship for playing the role well. He only wanted to work hard and do his best.

Although Sing Sing would enter into a self forgetting state once at work, good actors often would have ways to reduce stress. Two days ago when he went out, he was full of energy. Good and fit, after a 3 hour meeting at the Causeway Bay company he showed no sign of exhaustion. When reporters approached for photos, his assistant anxiously covered him up. Sing Sing saw and joked, "No need to be so tense." Then he walked to his car. When he saw reporters almost fell from walking while taking photos, he even heartwarmingly said, "Be careful!" Before getting into his vehicle, he was asked whether he knew the film company lost HK$ 10 million from the location change? He said, "You would have to ask the film company."

Reporters asked film company boss Daneil Lam Siu Ming about losing almost HK$10 million from the location change from Thailand to Hong Kong. He said, "We have changed to construct a large scale Thai village for the shoot. As for how much was lost let's not talk about it more. It is a big number though."
