Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Emotion Cheung Kam Ching, Kilby Chan Chiu Suen, John Ho Kau, Edwin Li Woon Lam, Norman Noel, Kay Chan Cheung Kai yesterday along with director Ho Miu Ki and producers Chan Hing Kai and Janet Chun Siu Chun attended the LOVE LIES (NGOR TAM DIK NA CHEUNG LUEN OI) audience appreciation show. The new film opened last Thursday, as of 3:30 PM yesterday its cumulative box office exceeded HK$ 5 million. Peter Chan Ho Sun showed his support for his wife Ng Kwan Yu, as the couple formed a heart gesture together. Ng Kwan Yu felt that with the current slump film is in, she was already very happy with such a box office performance for the new film. She hoped that it would last until October 1st national day when all Hong Kong cinema tickets would be half price and even more viewers would be able to enjoy the film. Ng Kwan Yu joked that she hoped her 18 year old daughter Jillian Chan Si Ji would accumulate the "romance scam" experience early on, that if she would be fooled she should be fooled early on as it would hurt more when she got older. Cheung Kam Ching asked "Mobile Entertainment" artist Ho Kau while talking about his character why his boss Ronald Cheng Chung Kei did not attend. Ho Kau joked that the boss would have concerts to perform. Cheng Chung Kei also helped and played Ng Kwan Yu's ex in the film.

Ng Kwan Yu said that LOVE LIES was about online fraud. This time a new director was at the helm, and the subject of online scam was both fresh and relevant. She also said that many viewers shared their experiences of being scammed during the event. She was the most concerned about whether any viewer has been deceived for sex. She said that she has also experienced phone scams. "I once received a recorded phone call asking me whether I wanted to listen in Cantonese or Mandarin. I chose Cantonese, but the people who answered the call all spoke Mandarin; at least lie better. I had time so I played along with him, I even asked him to find someone who could speak Cantonese then hung up. Then he called me again and asked me why I hung up. That was really funny, while scamming people he was copping this attitude."

Kwan Yu felt that the new film was like a cautionary film. After watching it, the mother of her daughter's classmate said that she would recommend it to their friends to avoid being deceived.

Cheung Kam Ching said that some viewers had seen it five times already. He said that he would also bring his 19-year-old daughter to the theater because he thought her daughter was easily deceived. He was the most concerned that his daughter would be fooled and hurt her fragile heart, but he neither knew nor dared to ask his daughter if she was dating.

Kwan Yu and her daughter Jillian Chan Si Chi got along like friends and talked about everything, but she lamented that Jillian was still not dating, "A 18 or 19 years old girl needs to have a love life. (Does she have a crush on someone?) Her personality is a bit arrogant. Since she was 4 years old, I have asked her if she liked any classmates. When she was little she did. Once she grew up, I again asked her if she has met anyone she was interested in; alas she has not. Next year she will go to college; I hope whether she fools someone or someone fools her, they would all be an experience as long as no one got their hearts broken." She and Cheung Kai Chung said in unison that they would pay close attention to their daughters' every move.

Speaking of the national day, all theater tickets in Hong Kong would be half-price. Kwan Yu felt that it would be a good thing and hoped that LOVE LIES would run until the national day. She has learned that some viewers have watched it five times, and her daughter has also watched it twice. Because Jillian admired her and Papa, Peter Chan Ho Sun, she would watch all of her parents' movies. She also revealed that her daughter wanted to participate in on screen performances and will study performing. Will Jillian be her successor? Kwan Yu said, "I don't know how funny she is. She is more serious, and she must be as lucky as us to be able to."
