The film BUT SI NEI BUT OI NEI (IT'S NOT YOU DON'T LOVE YOU) yesterday held a production start worship ceremony. Director Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum), actors Mandy Tam Man Huen, Edward Chen, Leung Chung Hang, Hazel Lam Hei Tung, Eric Tsui Ho Cheong, Locker Lam Ka Hei, Henick Chou Hon Ning and Joey Thye (Dai Cho Yee) participated.

In the film Mandy, Edward Chen and Leung Chung Hang are in a love triangle and they have shot some intimate scenes. Which one was more extreme? Edward Chen automatically raised his hand, but said that it was only a little extreme. During the shoot he did not feel any awkwardness. Earlier Mandy publicly praised him for being very charming. He also returned the favor and called Mandy a pretty girl, and thanked her and Leung Chung Hang for taking good care of him. Mandy said that she was Edward Chen's on set translator, while Leung Chung Hang even revealed that he taught him dirty words. Edward Chen awkwardly laughed and said in Cantonese, "I don't know any dirty words." Then he introduced himself.

Director Yip Lim Sum this time asked Mandy to play "Ah Bo". He pointed out that Mandy would be the youngest one. When he asked Stephy Tang Lai Yun to play "Ah Bo" the first time she was also 22. Earlier he saw Mandy in music videos and commercials, then from the audition he felt that she had a new generation girl's realism, with character but also very direct and tough. Thus she was the only choice; as for Taiwan's Edward Chen, he thought that he was handsome and a little shy. The feeling was pretty interesting. The love triangle in the film would have intimate scenes. Yip Lim Sum joked that he would be making a romantic film, not a love action film. He would also ask for comfort and aesthetics visually.
