The film LOVE LIES (NGOR TAM DIK NA CHEUNG LUEN OI) held its world premiere at the 48th Hong Kong International Film Festival. Actors Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, MC Cheung Tin Fu, Emotion Cheung Kam Ching, French actor Noel Norman Rodger Patrick and director Ho Miu Ki walked the red carpet together. Ng Kwan Yu received support from husband Peter Chan Ho Sun and their daughter Jillian Chan Si Ji, while MC had a large group of fans waiting.

Kwan Yu felt very honored to be invited by the Hong Kong International Film Festival, so she was dressed in red to match the carpet. Yesterday MC drew the support of a large group of fans. Kwan Yu also praised his fans for being polite, at the heat they even gave everyone beverages. MC said that this was his second movie; as a new comer working with elders with experience, they would be able to  bring him into character and the tense atmosphere would become natural. Playing a con man in the film, MC said, "To be a successful con man, you have to do all your homework. First you have to be able to fool yourself, looks are very important to a con man." Fans at this time went into an uproar, Kwan Yu immediately made fun of him and said, "For you being handsome is enough! However your performance is pretty good. Of course your looks would also have to convince the audience. When I watched his concert, I discovered that he had a strong approachability. Some are very handsome but had no approachability." MC joked whether that was related to his height. When he worked with Kwan Yu, her presence did not frighten him. Instead she was able to help him with getting into character. During the performance they would not be embarrassed, which made the scenes happen very naturally. However it was still good that the character he played was also very shy.

Because in the film Kwan Yu and MC were linked in an online romance scam, they did not have any physical contact. MC said, "In the film I had closer distance contact with (Stephy) Tang Lai Yan, at first I didn't know to react, later I was brought into character. With Ng Kwan Yu we played an online romance scam, we kept our distance and didn't have any physical contact." Kwan Yu said, "Only I thought I was in love, he was on the wrong side of the law for a job." Did she feel younger from working with fresh meat? Kwan Yu said, "I didn't, I don't let age affect me!" She felt that working with MC was rather refreshing and had different spark. Perhaps now the new generation of actors would not appear to be very scared during their performance, the feeling was very natural. For example in one scene they did not coordinate in advance, as soon as they took their mark they were able to deliver the same dialogue. Would they like to collaborate again? MC said that he would not mind, while Kwan Yu pointed out that the most important was for the movie to be successful and profitable. Only then would they have an opportunity for a second relationship. Next time she would be his girlfriend in close distance.

Speaking of her daughter Jillian Chan Si Ji's 18th birthday next month, Kwan Yu revealed that the family would go on a vacation to celebrate. Her daughter even chose a bicycle ride through a farm with a sea of flowers.
