The Eric Tsang Chi Wai produced film WE ARE FAMILY (CHOOK JO GA YUN) two nights ago held a charity premiere. Director Benny Lau Wai Hang, actors Tsang Chi Wai, Tian Niu, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Catherine Chau Ka Yi, Alex Fong Lik Sun, Angela Hui Ching Wan and others attended in support with Emperor Group chief Dr. Albert Yeung Sau Sing and his wife. Chi Wai stated that Tian Niu was able to bring his acting out. Performing with her gave him a lot of confidence. Tian Niu also felt that this time the character had potential. When they rehearsed it was a teaming of the strong as sparks flew.

Tsang Chi Wai and Tian Niu in WE played a couple. Tian Niu's previous Hong Kong film was already A LIFETIME TREASURE (YU JU YU BO) 3 years ago. Speaking of Chi Wai inviting her to perform this time because he was the producer, Tian Niu said, "Actually I really don't know who invited me, I would have to thank that benefactor. However Chi Wai and I was compatible." Chi Wai joked that he asked Tian Niu because she could match him, in addition they have worked together countless times before. "The first movie I played the lead in Taiwan was with her. At the time she was beyond my reach. Later after I became the boss and made LITTLE COP (SIU SIU SIU GAING CHAT) I asked her to be the lead actress again. We went way back, even though the movie ended up losing big." Chi Wai stated this time his co-star would have to have chemistry with him, so he thought of Tian Niu because she was able to bring his acting out. Performing with her he would have a lot of confidence. Tian Niu accepted this role because she felt that it had potential. Even more importantly the film reminded everyone to cherish their family, to express their love. Chi Wai also joked that in past movies he constantly had to "chase" Tian Niu but could not catch her. This time they finally became a couple. Although they have not worked together for seven or eight years, but he felt that Tian Niu was just as pretty. She has never been ugly. Tian Niu instead praised Chi Wai for being even more stable and mature than before. Speaking of Chi Wai was already the TVB general manager, Tian Niu said, "He has earned this with his hard work!"

Chan Ka Lok would soon be a father. He revealed that his wife was almost 5 months pregnant, for now he would not reveal the gender in order to maintain the mystery. Even his parents and family did not know whether the baby would be a boy or a girl, but he believed that the gender would very soon be revealed. This father to be has always been going to examinations with his wife Shiga Lin, hoping that the baby would be healthy. "Mrs. Chan (Shiga Lin) is now very nervous, she bought a machine to listen to the baby's heartbeat everyday." Shiga Lin earlier revealed that he cried when he went to the exam with her. Ka Lok awkwardly smiled and said, "The prenatal examinations are happy, before going in the doctor already told me that usually Papa would cry once. I told the doctor to relax and I wouldn't cry, but I already cried at the first time, as well as the second and the third time. The doctor said that I could cry a lot. Finally at the fourth time I didn't cry, because I found out the gender. I am not crying anymore!" Ka Lok wanted to go into the delivery room with his wife and hoped to be able to shoot a video, but he did not know his wife's wish and they have yet to discuss it. "Ultimately I don't want to have too much pressure, the birth would be nature. We haven't made any special 'arrangement'. I always told my wife, from dating to marriage we haven't had a lot of time for just the two of us. If we didn't (get pregnant) yet that would be the case, if we did then it was Heaven's arrangement for us."

Ka Lok admitted that he was not mentally prepared to be Papa, because he has never thought so far ahead. Currently he is the most nervous about the baby's health. They would be expecting at the end of July. During that period he would have the chance to work abroad and not be in Hong Kong, so he has already booked a confinement nanny. As for the child's education, he still has yet to consider this stage. Ka Lok liked both gender, even a daughter would still be able to watch sports with him. He would consider the difference in raising a boy or a girl. "My Papa and Grandpa treated me and my little girl with two different personalities. Maybe I would be able to see how I would be as a father of a son or a daughter. If I would have a daughter I would be completely done for!" Ka Lok openly complained that his wife was eating too little, even pregnant she would not eat much. Often she was afraid that she would be too fat on camera. Earlier at a charity event, in front of the mirror she felt she was a little "swollen" and not eat. Although the baby was currently at "full weight", Ka Lo hoped that when everyone would see Mrs. Chan, they would remind her to eat a little more.

Chau Ka Yin congratulated Ka Lok, but Ka Lok joked that she could not just say congratulation. Ka Yi said that she would like to give a present but she did not know the baby's gender. Would she be the baby's godmother? She pointed out that would depend on fate. She already had four godsons and two goddaughters.

Hui Ching Wan in WE was paired with Fong Lik Sun and gave up her first on screen kiss. Was Siu Fong a good kisser? She joked, "We kissed for many seconds, the feeling was great. We shot from several angles."

Elly again played a pregnant lady and even finally gave birth. In the film she even "rented" father to be Chan Ka Lok to be her husband. Elly was a nursing student and was fortunate enough to watch the birth process in a delivery room. Thus she was able to use the experience in the film.
