The Louis Koo Tin Lok and Raymond Lam Fung starred film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) has done well at the box office. Koo Tin Lok has promised that if the film would perform well at the box office, he would not rule out filming a prequel and invite Nicholas Tse Ting Fung to help out. Praising this time as the work of rebirth, Lam Fung also admitted that TWILIGHT could be regarded as his masterpiece.

The movie TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN has been in release for 11 days, and its Hong Kong box office revenue has reached HK$ 36 million. A "special thank you screening" was held last night. Director Soi Cheang Pou Soi, actors Louis Koo Tin Lok, Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), Terrance Lau Chun Him, Philip Ng Won Lung, Tony Wu Tsz Tung, German Cheung Man Kit, Fish Liew Chi Yu and others attended an celebrated the box office success. Director Cheang Pou Soi was commended for making his pinnacle work. He thanked viewers for the good response and even hoped that he has not reached the peak of life, so he would be able to continue to "peak".

Cheang Pou Soi said, "Yeah, life is at its peak just like this; and it's hard to keep going after that. I hope it would be a little better. I tell myself that it is not the pinnacle; take just one or two more steps, but I need everyone's support. I am so surprised by the response this time and it gives everyone a wonderful journey." Goo Jai hopes that the movie will do well at the box office like his character "Tornado", sweep up good performance and take Hong Kong movies to the next level.

Speaking of filming a sequel, Koo Tin Lok said that he has discussed making a prequel, but whether it would happen in the end would depend on the box office. He revealed that if the prequel would be filmed, it would be with the original team. He would not ruled out that other new characters would appear. His and Lam Fung's characters would also appear, and new characters and relationships would be added. He was also sure that next time the fights would be even "sweeter". TWILIGHT has been said to be the film that "eliminated the TV smell" from Lam Fung, who admitted that this was his representative role. As for the online rumor the first choice for the role Lam Fung played was Nicholas Tse Ting Fung, Lam Fung said, "It doesn't matter, every actor is so outstanding." When asked if Koo Tin Lok would invite Tse Ting Fung to perform in the sequel? He replied, "Let's take a look at the box office first."

TWILIGHT has achieved great success at the box office in mainland China and Hong Kong. Was he optimistic that the box office trend will exceed the HK4 100 million box office of A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG)? Goo Jai said, "It doesn't matter what kind of movie it would overtake, the box office in Hong Kong has not been very good in the past six months. I hope this time would be able to restore the audience's confidence in Hong Kong movies!" Then Goo Jai and the "Four Sons of the Walled City" would represent TWILIGHT when the film would participate in the Cannes Film Festival. Speaking of "Fish Ball Girl" Wong Wan Ching's funny footage, his character blew smoke at her, and her eyes welled up. Goo Jai said, "The character called for it, it was not my fault." He praised the little girl's acting skills was as good as adults.

In addition, Yam Yin Chai and Lau Chun Him have just returned to Hong Kong from Taiwan. Siu Chai admired Lau Chun Him very much and praised him for being both good-looking and good at fighting, indeed the top of the new generation. He was so handsome that the audience even accepted him when he played Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing. "I think Lau Chun Him is the latest top star. He is handsome and stylish. Girls can't be more fond of him. Earlier when he played the role of Leslie Cheung in ANITA, it wasn't easy to be accepted by everyone." He spoke frankly that both the film industry and the music industry would need new people to take over. "I pay close attention to young people. The film and music industry must have new faces and fresh voices. They would rely on a wave of strength to push them to take the baton, just like I have a line in the film, 'From now on the Walled City will be the world of the young people like you!' So outside of filming, Koo Tin Lok and I are trying to help a group of young people to take over. It is the passion of us filmmakers." He joked that when he saw the young people fought to the point of throwing up, he just wanted to go home and sleep. After hearing this, Lau Chun Him expressed that he was very moved. He recalled that during the filming, each elder would selflessly share their experiences with him. Lau Chun Him also expressed his gratitude to Brother Siu Chai and Big Brother Big Sammo Hung Kam Bo for passing on a lot of filming experience to them.

Speaking of filming the prequel, Siu Chai joked that he would not shave his head this time and leave the fight scenes to young people who were very fit. He asked, "Can I have hair in the prequel? This time it originally took 5 hours to put on and remove makeup. Due to the tight filming schedule, the makeup artist also had very hard time. I suggested that shaving my head would save two and a half hours, so I shaved. I wasn't noble, only because of the epidemic at the time I had no job. If I won't have any hair next time I would be fine. Even fighting more would be no problem, but I would have to work harder." He joked that when he saw that the young folks fought until they threw up, he wanted to go home and go to sleep. When asked why not get naked for a breakthrough? Siu Chai said that people would only watch all nude performance from the younger guys. Siu Chai said, "I wonder if there was a sauna in the Walled City. We men can go and take a bath together as a group! We can all get naked for the sauna scene, and the younger guys can show off their abs. Seeing the shape they are in, we elders would have to work harder."
