Anson Lo Hon Ting's second film IT REMAINS (YEUNG WON) already broken HK$ 1 million at the box office on its opening day, and became the fastest Hong Kong film to pass the mark this summer. As of two days ago it has already accumulated almost HK$ 3 million, a decent performance. Earlier Anson along with John Chiang Dai Wai, Tommy Chu Pak Hong and Summer Chan Chi Huen promoted the film together. Anson not only challenged his first solid and reserved performance, the always clean him even went all out and lay on the ground for the shoot.

IT REMAINS mainly shot on location in the wild, Chu Pak Hong and Anson said that they had many scenes in which they lay on the ground. In addition they had to shoot late at night. Chu Pak Hong joked that he was afraid of getting dirty and afraid of ghost. The always clean Anson admitted that he spent a little time to get used to it, but once he got into work condition he completely went all out. He mentioned that in one scene after John Gor knocked him out, he was being dragged home. "Originally inside the costume were several pieces of cardboard, but the result wasn't too good. So we just went with one piece. In the end only when I was being dragged I realized that it was actually pretty painful. Luckily it was done in one take." Anson this time in the film had many emotional scenes. He was the most grateful to Chu Pak Hong, saying that when he was not in a scene he would share acting experience. He was able to learn many skills that would always be useful.

John Gor in recent years has rarely made movies. Working with a group of young actors this time, he said that he has learned a lot from them. Chu Pak Hong also said that sometimes the shoot went into early morning, John would play and chat with everyone. He did not put on any air, which made me loosen up a lot.

Speaking of the action scenes in the film, John Gor stated that he was a hero so fight scenes would not stump him. Anson and Chu Pak Hong both had fight scenes with John Gor. Chu Pak Hong said that before fighting John Gor they rehearsed several times so they would not have any mishap. In the end accident still happened as he really kicked him. John joked, "Actually I told him to kick for real, only under safe conditions would we be able to fight for real. For example Anson in one scene hit my shoulder with a stick that was wrapped in plastic. On the set I said it was fine, I didn't get the real taste until I got home. However these were all unintentional mishaps, because I knew he was already in character." He said that as long as Anson would still work in show business, in the future they definitely would have even more different opportunities that would be waiting for him to try and challenge.
