Best Actor Simon Yam Tat Wa and "daughter" Stephy Tang Lai Yan yesterday afternoon went to work on their new film, and Yam Tat Wa became a photo opportunity target. Speaking of his horse winning as the dark horse, he was rather excited. The professional Stephy worked almost completely without make up.

Yam Tat Wa worked with Stephy for the first time. Yesterday they appeared in Kowloon City for the new film HUNG DAU (RED BEAN)'s location shoot, and often attracted onlookers. The scenes were more relaxing, only briefly explaining that Yam Tat Wa and his on screen wife Mimi Kung Chi Yan entering store. The scene was done in only a few takes. Yam Tat Wa played the aging owner of a Tongsui shop, for the role he abandoned his handsome image and changed into an older look for work.

During lunch, the always friendly Yam Tat Wa, co-star Fong Ping and others just set up a table on the streets. Then he went to a nearby cafe for the rest room and tea latte and immediately caused a stir, as employees all asked him for photos. He could not be more welcoming. Later pedestrians asked for photos as well and Yam Tat Wa followed Chow Yun Fat's example as he took the cell phone selfie. Speaking of last week when his horse won over HK$ 1 million, he simply replied, "I chipped in with friends on the horse. I really didn't know. In addition because of the movie I didn't appear in person."

Yam Tat Wa and his on screen daughter Stephy did not share any scene. When Stephy appeared on the set, she with little make up knelt to act with elders Fung So Bo and Fong Ping. Because the film company would arrange for a press conference in a few days, Stephy through her assistant politely said, "Today isn't too convenient for interviews, let's talk in a few days."
