The MC Cheung Tin Fu and Sandra Ng Kwan Yu starred movie LOVE LIES (NGOR TAM DIK NA CHEUNG LUEN OI) was released on the 17th. As of yesterday (September 28th), its box office exceeded HK$ 10 million. Yesterday MC participated in an audience appreciation event with the team including director Ho Miu Ki. They went to different theaters to thank the audience for 8 shows. Each of the audience appreciation shows were sold out.

MC was building momentum for LOVE LIES and went to 8 consecutive audience appreciation shows yesterday. He joked that he "threw his body out there" and has already seen the movie four or five times before. At one of the stops, MC sang a few lines of the movie theme song "Pen Pal" acapella in response to audience requests.

An audience member asked which line of dialogue in the film was the most memorable? MC loudly performed and said, "How tall is he?" Upon hearing this, the director said that she did hot know how tall MC was when she first wrote the script. The two worked in unison to create a relaxed atmosphere.

MC was happy that the box office has exceeded HK$ 10 million and he has become a HK$ 10 million actor. He said, "I am not very familiar with the film industry, so I don't know what is considered a good performance. For me, exceeding 10 million already felt great. I don't have any set goal, of course the more the better. I will communicate with the director on how to give back to the audience. I don't mind if I am promoting the movie; but if I am asked to remove my shirt, it seems to have nothing to do with the movie."

MC was grateful to the fans for their support. He also hoped to make more movies in the future. When he would receive other scripts, he would take a closer look at them. MC wanted to challenge highly difficult roles, "I want to challenge playing a character with a mental disorder, but if it is a simple, realistic character, it will be difficult to play it calmly."

MC said he did not mind paying for a celebration for the team and would wait for the team's arrangements; he also revealed that the most difficult thing about learning to ride a motorcycle recently was balance, and he will take the rider test in November. He said that people who ride motorcycles have an unique aura, and what he was most concerned about was maintaining his hairstyle when removing his helmet.

Speaking of his manager May being accused of playing with popcorn in the cabin during a flight earlier and causing a mess and the online criticism of her for inappropriate behavior, MC said, "Throwing popcorn randomly will indeed mess up the place. This is an example that everyone should learn from."
