Carlos Chan Ka Lok and Mayanne Mak Mei Yan yesterday attended the Emperor Motion Picture WE ARE FAMILY (CHOOK JO GA YUN)'s audience appreciation event and were very popular. Ka Lok said that the film was more family oriented, when he went he saw the audience was still wiping away tears and he felt a little sorry. As for Mayanne this was her first audience appreciation event for her first movie. How did it feel? She said, "I am very happy to be able to instantly thank the audience, everyone is very close. The feeling is very special, very fresh."

Mayanne revealed that the film earlier was screened at the Vancouver Film Festival and her father supported the show there. Ka Lok also pointed out that his parents and his wife Shiga Lin have already seen the film. Would his pregnant wife avoid watching certain genre? Ka Lok said, "No, in the afternoon she would listen to classical music, at night she would watch stimulating movies. Lately we have been binging the series THE GAME OF THRONES, and she still watched the killing scenes so the baby would be tougher, haha!"

Mayanne joked that it was in utero education, "So the children now are so mature."

Speaking of his wife's July due date, when would she stop working? Ka Lok said that light jobs like interviews and program shoots were fine, but he put his foot down on concert tour performance. "All the traveling isn't too great. Originally she was very happy about being Kenny (Kwan Chi Bun)'s concert guest in Beijing, but after she announced her pregnancy Kenny declined. He was afraid about her wearing heels to the stage and taking flights. He couldn't take the responsibility. I of course am happy and complimented him! (Would you take a paternity leave?) After the birth I would take a few days off, but for the prenatal confinement I couldn't take time off. I would have to work hard for milk money. (How would you divide up time to take care of the child?) It won't be a big problem. She doesn't make too many series and movies, in addition she still needs time to recover. For the first half of the year I would work hard, as I don't want it to be hard on her." In addition, guest star Karl Ting Tsz Long two days ago also appeared at an audience appreciation event and promoted hard for the film.
