She even said that the production techniques that she learned earlier finally became useful, like how to get her hair pulled without hurting herself.

Choi Sze Wan, Chu Kam Yin and Wu Tsz Tung starred in the new film TALES FROM THE OCCULT: BODY AND SOUL (SUT HUNG HUNG GAN JUI YU SAT)'s segment CHESHIRE CAT (MAU GIP). Playing a cat volunteer, Choi Sze Wan had a special feeling because she was a cat slave herself. "I have two cats, I am very mad about this subject. As long as I think of someone wanting to hurt my cats, I would get very mad. The anger level would rise, so during the shoot I was very focused on this type of emotions and would be especially focused." Has she lost a cat like in the film? She revealed that cats' nature was to be playful and free, once when she opened the door to take out the trash they ran out the door. Luckily outside the door was not open space, even if they went out they would not be lost. Afterward she also taught them not to run outside. "In the beginning when I was training them I had to go and catch them before they would come back, later as soon as I yelled they would know to go home. Their playful nature was very hard to control, they long for the outside world very much and thought that being able to rush out was a lot of fun. Luckily in the end I was able to get them to come back." As for Wu Tsz Tung and Chu Kam Yin they had no pet. Wu Tsz Tung said that he had allergy and was afraid that he would be worried that something would happen to his pets. He was afraid that he would not be able to accept the pain, so he decided against having them. Chu Kam Yin said that she once considered having pets, but he felt that he could not even maintain himself, so without ample preparation he would not have any.

Choi Sze Wan and Chu Kam Yin in the film had many action scenes. Chu Kam Yin said that the on set environment was narrow and had many obstacles that he had to duck and dodge around. It was an enormous challenge, luckily he was not hurt. Choi Sze Wan said that it could count as the first time that she had a few action scenes. She even said that the production techniques that she learned before became handy. "Earlier when I was studying acting the instructor has taught that before, like when my hair was being pulled I had to grab the other person's hands tight. The other person would grab my hand in the same way and use my hand to pull my hair. It actually really became useful. When I heard it before, I was thinking this move was very fake; but it actually was useful. On camera no one would slip up or get hurt, which was really very interesting." Wu Tsz Tung pointed out that the most memorable was their scene at the end. "We each had friction, complaints and anger against the others, the scene might be rather impactful to the audience. When we saw the scene live we felt that impact. Anyone who had pets would feel it even more. When everyone goes to the movie they would find out what our relationships are, which would definitely would a pleasant surprise for everyone."
