The premiere of the new film CRISIS NEGOTIATOR (TAM POON JUEN GA) was held in Hong Kong two night ago. Two Hong Kong Best Actors Sean Lau Ching Wan and Francis Ng Chun Y, together with other actors including Michael Miu Kiu Wai, Kent Cheng Juk Si , Michael Chow Man Kin, Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling, Rosa Velasco (Wai Law Sha) and others went to the cinema for an audience appreciation event. Chun Yu's son Feynman was also present, but not to support his father. Instead he looked for a photo with his idol Lau Ching Wan. Recently Hong Kong films have recovered, as TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) has had strong momentum since its release. Its Hong Kong box office has exceeded HK$93 million. Rising in popularity, "Wong Gau" Philip Ng Won Lung two nights ago also took time to support Hong Kong films. Ching Wan hoped that Hong Kong films would be able to keep maintaining quality, while Chun Yu looked forward to CRISIS NEGOTIATORS would perform well at the box office.

Ching Wan and Chun Yu worked together again after 19 years, and they both said that they have already gone all out to perform. It would be difficult to predict whether the box office would be good or bad. Speaking of the recent resurgence of Hong Kong films, actors are used to audience appreciation events. Ching Wan and Chun Yu both would not mind traveling, but it would depends on the schedule. When asked if he has set a box office target and to give back to the audience, Chun Yu said that the response to the film was good and he hoped that the film would do well at the box office; while Ching Wan joked that he did not know what was fashionable now, he had to think about if he had many tricks left. He hoped that Hong Kong films would always maintain their level of standard, and the industry would continue to make good movies with heart.

As for whether the two actors are happy to work together again, was the production process very happy? Chun Yu joked, "After receiving the money, you have to shoot even if you are unhappy; of course, some of the process is happy and some not; the most important thing is that for the shoot to go smoothly." Chun Yu also said that he was more comfortable than Ching Wan, because Ching Wan was responsible for most of the action scenes.

When asked if their negotiation skills have greatly improved after filming CRISIS, Chun Yu joked that Ching Wan has learned how to bargain more when he goes to the market for groceries, and Ching Wan humbly said that the market venders have been selling very cheaply. As for whether Chun Yu communicated better with his son, he said, "He wouldn't be bothered to talk to you, he came here this time mainly to see Ching Wan. He was fanatic about Ching Wan and (Dayo Wong) Tsz Wah, really worshipped them. Once they couldn't win the award, he was even more heartbroken than when I didn't win. He lost his temper and ignore me." Ching Wan joke that he finally knew that he usually did not have much contact with Chun Yu, but he would always invite him to dinner at his home. It turned out that he had a motive to let his son see him. When Chun Yu's son took a photo with Ching Wan, Chun Yu also knew how to get out of the way. Later Ching Wan asked Chun Yu to take a photo again, joking that he was afraid that Chun Yu's son would be misunderstood as his son.

In addition, the box office of TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN has climbed past the Ching Wan starred WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI). He did not mind. "It doesn't matter, both of them are (Louis) Koo Tin Lok's, of course I hope one would be better than the next, everyone has put in a lot of effort." As for the announcement of the trilogy of TWILIGHT, Ching Wan said with a smile that he would not want to participate because with too many fight scenes he would have to leave them for others. With his role Ugly Kwan deeply ingrained into people's hearts, Chun Yu said with a smile that if he would not need to fight, any role that only required a mouth could be offered to him. In recent years, Chun Yu, who has been working in the mainland and filming variety shows, was said to be earning quite a lot. He joked, "It's enough for eating." When Ching Wan heard this, he made fun of his old friend. "You have quite an appetite." Chun Yu immediately explained that it was actually his son's.

During the appreciation period, Ching Wan, Chun Yu and Ben Yuen Fu Wah shared their filming experience, Yuen Fu Wah said that during the shoot, the director only gave him a few simple lines of dialogue to perform. So he had to hurriedly study with Chun Yu, fortunately he was able to successfully complete them in the end. Chun Yu joked that in fact, he did not know what the script wanted to say, so he could only take one step at a time. If he had any questions, he would find Ching Wan because he was already familiar with the script. Ching Wan hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, the biggest challenge of this film was Ng Chun Yu, because the director told me that in case Ng Chun Yu fails, it will be up to you, Ching Wan."
