Francis Ng Chun Yu and Sean Lau Ching Wan earlier worked on their new film in Ho Man Tin. Working together again after 18 years, Chun Yu's on set presence was rather strong on the day of the shoot. The fresh out of the oven Best Actor Ching Wan coordinated all along as the brothers were full of chemistry! Although Chun Yu has not had any luck with the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor Award, in recent years he has become the "gold magnet king" in the mainland and made almost 100 million RMB in a year.

The fresh out of the oven Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor Lau Ching Wan and Ng Chun Yu work together again on a film after 18 years. Earlier they worked on location in Ho Man Tin for the new film. Although Chun Yu did not have as much screen time as Ching Wan, this scene was obviously Chun Yu's solo. From helping a granny to acting opposite Ching Wan, Chun Yu had to flirt and have plenty of expressions. He was completely in character. Perhaps Ching Wan only had an ordinary dramatic scene, he only silently watched Chun Yu's "performance" and did not need to have too much expression.

Because the shoot took place on an extremely hot day, even the always tough Ching Wan could not help but take off his suit jacket. Chun Yu was still hot even with just a shirt on, so he took off the shirt and only wore a white tank top. Although the heat had him out of breath, Chun Yu was very easy going off camera. He kept chatting with people around him, catching up with buddy Ching Wan and talked nonstop. Ching Wan who rarely spoke on camera usually was melted by Chun Yu. When the cameras stopped rolling they would sit with director Herman Yau Lai To and continued to chat.
