The Hong Kong box office of the powerful movie TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) has exceeded HK$ 90 million as of yesterday. Yesterday the four leads "Chan Lok Kwan" Raymond Lam Fung, "Shun Yat" Terrance Lau Chun Him, "Sup Yi Siu" Tony Wu Tsz Tung and "Wong Gau" Philip Ng Won Lung turned into the Walled City Welfare Committee to meet with 800 fans at a shopping center and attracting more than 1,000 fans to crowd all floors. The fans came to the stage in an orderly manner for close distance contact with the 4 actors. Wu Tsz Tung was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, but Lam Fung and Lau Chun Him were calm. Lau Chun Him even made heart-shaped gestures with fans from time to time, well worthy of his reputation as the "national husband".

For the first film meeting, Lam Fung and others were touched by the overwhelming scene. Lam Fung said, "In the past, singers would hold meetings more. I would like to thank everyone who have supported the film. I saw a kind of recognition from their faces." Ng Won Lung joked that the scene has frightened him. Wu Tsz Tung had a funny experience; because when he went out for breakfast yesterday morning, a big guy kept looking at him and made him feel uncomfortable. He said: "After catch each other's gaze, he finished eating and left. When I was paying the bill and about to leave, he actually has been waiting outside the door for more than ten minutes, and asked me, 'Sup Yi Siu could I take a picture?' I told him that he could actually ask for it a long time ago, but he was afraid of disturbing me while eating."

As the movie's box office is expected to break through HK$ 100 million mark to become the second highest-grossing film in Hong Kong Chinese-language film, Lau Chun Him hoped to reach 100 million as wished. Lam Fung said that reaching the goal would depend on the support of the audience. Wu Tsz Tung also said that it was rare for all actors in a movie to be highly sought after. Just returning from meeting fans in Taiwan, Ng Won Lung did not mind being mistaken for Aaron Kwok Fu Sing. He said that "Wong Gau"'s hairy style may be similar to that of Sing Sing's. How would they celebrate once the film would reach HK$ 100 million at the box office? Lam Fung suggested that the film team should gather all the members to thank the audience, and later they would have another large-scale promotional event. He also revealed that German Cheung Man Kit who has been working on a movie in Malaysia would take time to go to the cinemas for audience appreciation events. Lau Chun Him and Wu Tsz Tung joked, "If the box office would exceed a hundred million, we plan to pass the ball to Mr. Koo -- set him up for appreciation events." When asked whether they would pound the boss' "chest" for dinner, they said that the boss has already invited them to eat many times. Speaking of him eating roast pork in a hurry in the film, he truly choked and spray grains of rice all over Koo Tin Lok. Lam Fung said that many outtakes have not yet been made public. He has never seen a lot of the clips before either, so he looked forward to the film company releasing them one after another.

Named the new generation "national husband", Lau Chun Him also hd the strongest fan passion. Regarding the emergence of a large number of "Mrs. Lau", Lau Chun Him's girlfriend Cecilia Choi Sze Wan also publicly stated that she did not mind having multiple "Mrs. Lau". Lau Chun Him expressed his gratitude for everyone's support. When asked if he would give his girlfriend the real title and get married as soon as possible, Lau Chun Him immediately became "Shun Yat" possessed and joked, "This time I am here as a member of the Walled City Welfare Committee, and I won't respond to any personal matter." Later he dragged in Ng Won Lung and joked that the publicity campaign was actually to help "Wong Gau" with matchmaking. The "Three Sons of the Walled City" present, Lau Chun Him, Lam Fung and Wu Tsz Tung, all praised Ng Won Lung as a good guy. Ng Won Lung joked: "It is the first time that someone called me Husband. (What are you looking for in a wife?) She has to be kind, loves me and a little prettier would be the best."

In addition, several actors of TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN, Lam Fung, Wu Tsz Tung and Josev (Kiu Ching Fu) two days ago went to the JP Cinema at Causeway Bay for an audience appreciation event. The audience response was enthusiastic, as they out of curiosity asked them about having "roast pork rice" and the fight scenes between the "Four Sons of the Walled City" and "Wong Gau".
