The Andy Lau Tak Wa produced, Jason Kwan Chi Yiu directed film I DID IT MY WAY (CHIM HUNG) two nights go held a charity premiere at a Kowloon Tong shopping center. Producer and star Wa Jai led the cast that included Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Eddie Peng Yu-Yan, Cya Liu, Simon Yam Tat Wa, Kent Cheng Juk Si, Hedwig Tam Sin Yin, Kevin Chu Kam Yin and action director Chin Kar Lok to the premiere and attracted many fans to look on and fill the shopping center. The film at the mainland box office has exceed 300 million yuan RMB. As for the Hong Kong box office, Wa Jai looked forward to good box office for I DID IT MY WAY, good word of mouth, and praised Peng Yu-Yan as handsome and a good actor.

Wa Jai spoke of his connection with the director and praised him for shooting his emotional scenes with a lot of details. Ka Tung mentioned that this time would already be the 18th time he has worked with Wa Jai and they already have great chemistry. As for Eddie who has not made a Hong Kong film in a long time, he said that he was very honored to work with all these good actors. Lead actors Cya said that this time playing a couple with Wa Jai felt very sweet. She said, "I hope everyone would like our movie, we can do it our way together." Wa Jai paid everyone an advanced Lunar New Year visit and said, "Happy New Year!"

Cya Lu and Chu Kam Yin happened to both be born in January, so the event presented them with fresh flowers. The audience and the actors sang the birthday song to celebrate with the birthday kids. After the event ended, many female guests flocked to Wa Jai and Eddie for photos.

Wa Jai was asked that whether the mainland box office of over 300 million yuan RMB would bring pressure to the Hong Kong box office. Wa Jai said yes, there would be pressure and he hoped the box office would be better. Ka Tung said that the more the better, but the word of mouth would be even more important. Earlier the film held many audience appreciation shows in the mainland. Would they have such arrangements in Hong Kong? Wa Jai said that they would depend on the distribution company, but the film on the opening day of the 11th would have audience appreciation shows. Although he ran to 10 audience appreciation events in the mainland, they did not feel tough. Ka Tung joked, "I changed my shoes already." Ho was the mainland audience response? Wa Jai said that the audience raved about the movie, then he pointed at Eddie and said, "He is handsome and responsible for the acting. (You are responsible for paying?) We are all responsible."

With his "handsome responsibility", Eddie while promoting in the mainland was told by the host to "lose bachelorhood" soon. Eddie said that with a goal he definitely would be able to, he hoped to this year. However if he had to be cooler then he would have to say he would focus on work and be a little more casual. Did he have a girlfriend already? He said, "I have to focus on promoting." Wa Jai was asked why he did not introduce any girls to Eddie? Wa Jai joked, "I don't have anyone to introduce, where would I have opposite sex friends? I have never been a matchmaker either. It's not that I don't have properties, just not right for the two of them (Eddie and Ka Tung)." Which type of girls would Eddie like? He said that he would leave it to fate. "Because at my age I don't want too many choices, the most important would be being able to talk with each other. In this business it's very hard to meet the opposite sex, unless I leave this business then I would be able to meet girls. (Do you like the athletic type?) OK! Exercising is good, good for the health and the body. Liking to ski is good too." After that he said to the camera, "Everyone is welcome."

Ka Tung was asked why he did not sing the theme song with Wa Jai. He said that Wa Jai asked him to, but he couldn't decide as he worried that it would affect everyone's view on the film. Wa Jai said, "Next time." As for Eddie he said that he has released a record before, so singing was okay. However after releasing a song last time he did not have any chance to sing again, thus he would work hard on being an actor. Wa Jai pointed out that he has heard Eddie sing and felt that he was decent. Eddie also said that he did not know whether he would attend any audience appreciation events, depending on whether he would have the opportunity to or not. Wa Jai also said that he has planned for the original team to work on another story, but the word of mouth would have to be good and the box office would have to be decent for this one.

Cya Liu and Chu Kam Yin not only were both born in January but also in the same year. With his birthday on the 5th Chu Kam Yin said that world peace was his birthday wish, as well as finding true passion outside of acting. He said that on his actual birthday he had dinner and went shopping, getting three pairs of shoes and three jackets for himself. As for Cya Liu whose birthday would be on the 13th, she revealed that she would visit Quanzhou with friends. She said, "I have to take my birthday off, if I would have to work on my birthday I wouldn't be too happy. I have spent it at work before, but I couldn't do anything about that." Why not trying to find happiness at work? She said that they were different, she could relax on her time off; work could only bring a sense of achievement. As for birthday wish, she would like the most to be safe, happy; but finding a boyfriend she would leave to fate. She also joked that she wanted someone as excellent as Chu Kam Yin, which would be very hard to find. After the premiere, Wa Jai and the director led the cast into the cinema for audience appreciation. When the audience saw the team it was very excited. They also urged viewers to invite family and friends to watch as well and support Hong Kong films more. Later, Wa Jai, Ka Tung, Eddie and others all sat down and enjoyed I DID IT MY WAY with the audience.
