Raymond Lam Fung, German Cheung Man Kit, and Tony Wu Tsz Tung two nights ago attended their new film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) celebrity friendly screening. Last Tuesday (the 16th) was Wu Tsz Tung's 32nd birthday, Raymond Wong Ho Yin and Kevin Chu Kam Yin suddenly brought out a birthday cake and surprised him with a celebration. Lam Fung even invited his cousin Rosina Lam Ha Mei, friends Ron Ng Cheuk Hei, Tavia Yeung Sin Hiu, Michael Miu Kiu Wai and his wife Jamie Chik Mei Chun for a rare reunion and everyone had a lot of fun. Per media request they were "giving hearts", but because they were not used to it everyone looked awkward; then Ng Cheuk Hei during a photo opportunity impersonated Lam Fung and "chok", which Lam Fung jokingly dubbed as "Ng Chok Hei".

Aside from support from friends, Cheung Man Kit and Wu Tsz Tung said that their families were also present. However Lam Fung pointed out that because his wife and daughter were not in Hong Kong, his wife would not be able to enjoy the film until later. His daughter might not be able to yet, as he said, "Because this film is rated category IIB, the visuals are more impactful and might not be suitable for my daughter to see. My wife also worries that our daughter would see me getting hit in the film and cry." Wu Tsz Tung said that he too had the same problem, because he prohibited his 4 and 8 year old nephew and niece from coming they were acting up.

Have they thought about the benefits they would give if the box office performance would be ideal? Lam Fung boldly said, "It's the boss' call, he can tell me to do whatever he wants. I am a great employee." As for the mainland advanced ticket sales being only average, Lam Fung said that instead many mainland friends after seeing the trailer were very interested in the film. They also praised that this was a movie that depicted the Kowloon Walled City in such detail, they hoped through film to show the entire world this place that very much represented Hong Kong. "The Kowloon Walled City was a very representative place, such a tiny place like Kowloon Walled City was said to be the capital. Everything inside really represented that era, I hope to be able to bring the audience around the world into the Kowloon Walled City." The trio also revealed that later they would attend the mainland premiere together and even visit 5 cities on a tour; on their first promotional tour in the mainland, Cheung Man Kit and Wu Tsz Tung were really looking forward to it. They would properly practice their Putonghua to communicate with the mainland audience. Lam Fung joked, "Anyone who understands Cantonese would understand Tsz Tung's Putonghua." Wu Tsz Tung looked forward to Lam Fung taking them to enjoy the cuisine. However Lam Fung felt that they might not have time, because the schedule was rather intense.

Ng Cheuk Hei, Yeung Sin Hiu and Lam Fung already worked together as early as 2003 on the series TWIN OF BROTHERS. Yeung Sin Hiu said that on this night she dropped her husband and child to support Lam Fung. Because they have been busy on their own they rarely saw each other, even their children might not have the chance to meet and become friends. She said, "I have only see Ah Fung's daughter in photos, I have never seen her in person. I really look forward to his daughter meeting my children." Ng Cheuk Hei pointed out that from the trailer he already felt bad for Lam Fung because of all the fight scenes. Would the three of them want to work together on a series again? Yeung Sin Hiu felt that it would depend on fate and claimed that she was busy with taking care of her child only. She even had help from her family, but both hunks have been busy with work. Ng Cheuk Hei heard and joked that Lam Fung has already "treated them to lemon". "You are willing, I am willing, but Lam Fung isn't willing! I have suggested making a TWIN OF BROTHERS sequel or film edition, but he declined. He said that he was too old to show (back then in the series he bared his rear in a bathing scene)." However Ng Cheuk Hei also revealed that he and Lam Fung would work on a modern series soon. In addition, Ng Cheuk Hei's rumored girlfriend Hana Kuk Chi Kiu and her sister also came to see the film, but they did not go to the interview areas like other artists. They went directly into the cinema instead and sat two rows from Ng Cheuk Hei. They had no interaction at all, but Kuk Chi Kiu appeared to be in good spirit as she complied to media requests for photos and even gave the victory sign. Meanwhile Ng Cheuk Hei sat with Yeung Sin Hiu and Lam Fung, Lam Fung even hand fed him snacks.
