Louis Koo Tin Lok yesterday (25th) led the "Three Sons of the Walled City" Raymond Lam Fung, German Cheung Man Kit, Tony Wu Tsz Tung, and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), to appear at the opening ceremony of Studio City Cinema in Macau. Tong Choi-chi, chairman of Local entertainment company Sunny Sides Up Culture Holdings Ltd. (formerly known as Sun Culture Entertainment) earlier filed a lawsuit to the High Court against Koo Tin Lok and his company Cool Label Limited, in order to recover HK$8.3 million that he lent more than 10 years ago. This was Koo Tin Lok's first public appearance since, and he said that he has been handed the matter over to a lawyer for handling.

Regarding the movie TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) taking the second place so far at the Hong Kong Chinese language film box office and winning all the word-of-mouth, Koo Tin Lok said that later they would more audience appreciation shows and admitted that the film has made a small profit. With still several millions left to reach the top of the box office, the actors will also attend the "Busan Film Festival" with the director in South Korea. However Goo Jai would be unable to attend because of his new film. "Recently I have been busy a new film. I am wearing thick clothes shoot fights in the studio under the scorching weather. The filming time is very long, and I have lost more than ten pounds." Speaking of the film's DRAGON THRONE (LUNG TAU) and THE FINAL CHAPTER (JUNG JEUNG) productions, Goo Jai revealed that it would be the most ideal for both films to be shot at once. He also pointed out that many new roles would be added, that he wanted to use new actors to carry on the theme of inheritance in the film. "Because the first film has too many characters, actresses' screen time was reduced. I hope to add more female roles in the future shoots, but the script has been written first." Goo Jai knew that the audience after the pandemic has changed their movie watching habits. He hoped to make movies and attract even more viewers to return to cinemas anew. Referring to the "Four Sons of the Walled City" thinking about performing POPULAR THIS WEEK with him at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Goo Jai joked, "I would get up there and punch them one after another, don't make trouble!'

Speaking of the film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING)'s performance team recently has been busy with making real money, Yam Yin Chai joked that he hoped to replace Terrance Lau Chun Him in the "Four Sons of the Walled City" because he was busy with work. A few days ago Philip Ng Won Lun posted a photo of his bandaged legs on social networks, Raymond Lam Fung pointed out that he did not know that Ng was injured. As for whether he has already agreed to undertake the filming of DRAGON THRONE (LUNG TAU), Siu Chai said with a smile that he would be busy with the concert but instead hoped to invite the "Four Sons of the Walled City" to be his guests. Would he like to invite Goo Jai? Lam Fung and Tony Wu Tsz Tung said in unison that they also wanted to watch Koo Tin Lok perform POPULAR THIS WEEK. An enthusiastic audience earlier felt up German Cheung Man Kit's arm during an audience appreciation event for the film. He said that at the time he did not sense anyone touching him. Siu Chai joked that Cheung was used to being touched. "Even I want to touch him, proving that everyone really like the 'Four Sons of the Walled City'." Rising in popularity, Cheung Man Kit admitted that he has yet to get used to fans calling him "husband". "I am a little scared, thank you viewers for the support. When everyone is happy, I am happy." Wu Tsz Tung joked that he was very accustomed to fans calling him BB. "Fans would ask BB did you eat, I would answer I did. I am used to it."

Siu Chai just spent his 58th birthday on tour in Qingdu. He joked that he was old and not used to celebrating birthday. He just wanted to spend time with his parents at home. "Originally the TWILIGHT cast wanted to take me to dinner, after the event I would have to get on a plane right away to return to Taiwan and fight for opportunities to be with my parents. Thank you everyone for the birthday cakes, I have been stuffed after eating so many cakes." As for when he would perform a concert in Hong Kong, Siu Chai said that he really missed the fans and would have to apply hard for the Hong Kong Coliseum dates.

In addition, Raymond Wong Pak Ming's Cinema City in Langham Place has said that it will close and move out after the lease expires in mid-July this year. When Goo Jai was asked about any interest to open cinemas, he said, "Wow! The rent is so expensive, I haven't thought about this yet. I'd rather make a movie." As for local entertainment company Sunny Side Up Culture Holdings Ltd. (formerly known as Sun Entertainment Culture) chairman Tong Choi Chi filing a claim in the High Court against Koo Tin Lok and his company for a loan of HK$8.3 million more than 10 years ago, and requesting the court to issue an order, Goo Jai was in a hurry to enter the cinema so he lowered the microphones. Afterwards he said that he had been handed he matter over to a lawyer and had no comment.
