Yesterday was Father's Day, ONE MORE CHANCE (BIT GIU NGOR DOH SUN)'s creative team before attending the Beijing premiere at night attended the Beijing "Father's Day father and child run", with the film's lead actor Chow Yun Fat leading the executive producer Fat Soh (Jasmine Tan), producer Wong Bun, director Anthony Pun (Poon Yiu Ming), screenwriter Felix Chong Man Keung, art director Man Lim Chung and lead actress Anita Yuen Wing Yi. The event gathered 100 pairs of father and child running teams to run 5 kilometers with the film's creative time.

Before the run began, Fat Gor not only led the runners in warm up but also shared his running experience. He even joked that in the film his character Fai loved to gamble, but after finishing the run today he would no longer love gambling!

In the story Fai was a lost middle aged man. Screenwriter Chong Man Keung felt that Fat Gor excels in playing small characters. Because Fat Gor's popular characters were all ordinary people, he felt that Fat Gor could absolutely play the role well. After reading the script Fat Gor thought the story was a lot of fun and had value, thus he agreed to perform.

After not making a movie about father and son in awhile, Fat Gor revealed, "The story itself is educational, and the story involves sports -- which is my expertise. When screenwriter Chong Man Keung wrote this screenplay, every detail was connected. So when he wrote these details about people, they were all very touching."

In the film he and Or Wai Lam play father and son. Father and son stumble and fall, on the track they help each other and find their true selves. Fat Gor said, "Fai originally is a gambler, because after his 'son' comes into his world he slowly changes him. The film mainly wants to tell one person's 'enlightenment', how the character goes from a lost person to finally find himself. It is meaningful story."

As for the new film, Fat Gor was very pleased, "The entire production process from the beginning to the end I have enjoyed very much, because I would add my designs and ideas into each scene and the director likes them. He can accept my ideas and they match the character. The entire film, the entire production process I feel very pleased, very happy about."
