The Sandra Ng Kwan Yu produced and starred first Hong Kong summer Lunar New Year film CHILLI LAUGH STORY (HAP GA LAT) held 92 advanced screenings between July 1st and 3rd and made HK$ 1.15 million. Not only did it give a shot of confidence to Hong Kong film but also encouraged its stars Gigi Leung Wing Kei, Edan Lui Cheuk On, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei and others.

Lately Edan has been busy with his concert rehearsals. Two nights ago (the 3rd) he, Ng Kwan Yu nd director Coba Cheng Chun Hin made a surprise appearance at a cinema for an audience appreciation event. Edan even became the focus and received raves for his acting from the audience. He said, "Everyone has been very lucky to be able to enjoy this film. I still haven't seen it yet. I am very nervous myself since it's my film debut. Over these past few days everyone after watching it told me it was OK, which added a little more sense of security for me. I feel one comment was rather moderate. They said, 'even my ex husband said it was entertaining'. This probably was true then." They also thanked the audience for coming to support the film earlier under the tropical cyclone signal number 8 poor weather.

Director Cheng Chun Hin pointed out that the audience's "ex husbands" also praised Edan's performance. Edan asked, "This time? Which time before wasn't I entertaining? This time was our blood and sweat, we spent a very long time on making it." Kwan Yu praised the audience for not spoiling the film, so everyone would be able to enjoy the film and be pleasantly surprised.
