Best Actor Nick Cheung Ka Fai yesterday with Tony Wu Tsz Tung, Ng Siu Hin and Law Ho Ming attended their film WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI)'s audience appreciation event in Tsim Sha Tsui. During the event they announced that the film's box office passed HK$ 68.01 million and defeated Korean film TRAIN TO BUSAN to become he highest grossing Asian film in Hong Kong film history. Ka Fai had a video chat with Louis Koo Tin Lok on the spot and took the chance to ask him to make a movie for him.

Attending the first audience appreciation event for the film, Ka Fai appeared and greeted the audience as his character. Aside from the box office announcement, they also played games with the audience for prizes. Ka Fai asked everyone, "Who am I?" A viewer screamed Ka Fai's classic character name "Fa Gwut Lung". Ka Fai jokingly responded, "I am Tin Mok, actually the movie had no Cheung Ka Fai. Fa Gwut Lung though would be better off never brought up again."

A viewer revealed that he has already seen WARRIORS 31 times. Ka Fai said that he ws very touched and pointed out that film was a creative industry. It could not shut itself in. It should have a multitude of development and would be well worth encouraging nd promoting. "Of course this is easier said than done, because each time when you want to break through and take risks, the risk would be increased as well. However you can't always say you are afraid of risks and make yourself very scared. You have to scope out the right time, and you still have to walk some difficult roads." Ka Fai said that in the past he has made some rather new subjects. Although they lost in the end, if people would still continue to invest afterward, he would still dare to try again.

Speaking of WARRIORS' strong performance, would the pressure on his future films be increased? Ka Fai stated that he has not thought about it. The most important was for everyone to work with creativity, then they would be rewarded. If everything was the same, it would be meaningful for those making it and watching it.

Currently working overseas, producer Koo Tin Lok contacted Ka Fai over video chat. Ka Fai jokingly asked Goo Jai, "Are you Tin Lok? I am Tin Mok!" As for the box office passing 68.01 million, Goo Jai hoped that later it would be able to reach 75 or 78 million, the more the better. Ka fai also said that he has watched it over 60 times and took the chance to ask to make a movie. "When you come back would you make a movie for me to play with?" Goo Jai laughed and said, "Sure! Sure!"

In addition, recently busy with the Emperor Motion Picture BAU LIT DIM (EXPLOSION POINT), Ka Fai revealed that in the middle of the month they would head to Malaysia to wrap up production. In the scene he and Shaun Tam Chun Yin would try to kill each other. He admitted that his leg injury still has not completely recovered. Earlier when he and Isabella Leong Lok Si worked on the long distance chase scene, he had to take two strong pain killer pills before starting work. Speaking of working with Leong Lok Si for the first time, Ka Fai felt that she was great. Everyone were actors who loved film.

After the shoot Ka Fai would return to Hong and prepare to direct and star in the film SHOOK MUNG (RANSOM DREAM). He would meet with star Terrance Lau Chun Him. Ka Fai described the film as a very daring production. Because it would be so exciting his adrenaline would rise.

In addition TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM)'s box office as October 9th afternoon passed HK$ 60.23 million and rose to the eight place at the Hong Kong film box office history. Director and writer Sunny Chan Wing Sun and the TABLE cast attended audience appreciation events nonstop, going to various cinemas to meet with viewers and thank them. Many viewers also attended with braids as requested, even some male viewers appeared with two little antenna. Sunny said, "Thank you to all the viewers for your support, I hope to be able to continue to fight, proving that Hong Kong film can succeed." Actor Peter Chan Cham Man said, "I look forward to finding out how many times one person can watch the film. I know people have seen it over 20 times. Actually from the beginning being able to be on the chart with different elders' movies was already very moving, because we all grew up watching those movies. At the same time we absorbed a lot of nutrients to create, while moved we were also urged to do even better from now on to thank the viewers for their support." Stephy Tang Lai Yan once said that she would share swimsuit photos when the film passed HK$ 60 million at the box office. Stephy joked, "Actually it passed HK$ 60 million as soon as I said it, I wanted to renege a little. At least I want to reach HK$ 70 million before sharing."
