The Li Linlin and Patra Au Ka Man starred film ALL SHALL BE WELL (CHUNG GUM YI HAU) two nights ago held a charity premiere. Li Linlin received support from husband John Chiang Dai Wai, son John Chiang Jr. (Chiang Cheuk Man), daughter Chiang Yi Lan and son in law Raymond Cho Wing Lim. In addition the fresh out of the oven Best Actress Jennifer Yu Heung Ying also showed her support for her friend Fish Liew Chi Yu in person.

Li Linlin has not made a movie for over 30 years. Several years ago during the pandemic she guest starred in the Nicole Kidman starred series EXPATS. This time she mainly felt that the ALL team was very professional, and the young actors now also had great acting. Instead she was the "new comer", at first she was afraid that she would be rusty and unable to meet demands from not acting for too long. Luckily the director patiently explained so she was able to absorb very quickly. In addition her husband John Chiang Dai Wai supported her comeback. "Originally I was afraid that I would already be out, my husband encouraged me and said that as soon as I would take my mark I would be fine. In addition the film's subject was very rare to examine social issues." Lin Linlin in recent years had hearing problems and required a hearing aid, which she said did not affect the production too much. "Maybe like at the premiere with more people and noises, hearing would be more difficult. For the production as soon as I took my mark I could be very focused." She revealed that over a decade ago she had middle ear effusion, a canal was installed in her ear but every few months it would have to be drained. Her right ear hearing was worse and she has switched to using a hearing aid.

As for her husband winning the Hong Kong Film Awards "Best Supporting Actor", Lin Linlin felt that this award was a great encouragement for her husband. Winning the award at age 77 was a great reward for him; but because he was busy with a series, he already celebrated with boss Louis Koo Tin Lok on the night of the Awards. They would not celebrate again. What about their wedding anniversary? She revealed that May 20th would be their 50th wedding anniversary. He said that he would give her the award as the 50th anniversary gift and has been praised as romantic. Lin Linlin said, "He has never been romantic. I used to be very stubborn with holidays, while he constantly forgot them. I would be upset, but he has trained me to no longer be stubborn. Now he has become more romantic than me."

Au Ka Man said that she and Li Linlin had a lot in common. They once studied at the same school, so they had an easier time communicating. During the shoot they were also able to get into character very easily and the collaboration has been very pleasant.

Liew Chi Yu and Leung Yung Ting took part in the film. They both praised the script as touching. Did they have any daring scene in the film? Leung Yung Ting joked that when the director asked them to perform with elders like Li Linlin and Au Ka Man, it was already rather daring.

Leung Yung Ting just won the Best Supporting Actress as the favorite at the Hong Kong Film Awards, but she has not celebrated yet. She wanted to again thank the cast and the crew for their contributions. She was able to play the character in the film because she completely relied the good team. Liew Chi Yu who did not win Supporting Actress joked, as soon as they saw each other she already used the promotional sign to hit Leung Yung Ting; but she was completely convinced of her victory at heart.
