Philip Ng Won Lung, Max Cheung Tat Lun, directors Albert Leung Koon Hiu and Herbert Leung Koon Shun attended an audience appreciation event for STUNTMAN (MO TAI DOH) the night before. Before entering the venue, Ng Won Lung and several action actors who played "Wai Stuntman Association" in the film performed Kung Fu on the spot to create momentum and attracted many spectators. Breaking a board with a flying kick, Ng Won Lung pretended to be injured and hobbled after the performance, which was very funny.

STUNTMAN was released in Hong Kong last Thursday, and as of the day before yesterday (29th), its box office approached HK$ 3 million. Just returning from work in Europe, Ng Won Lung rushed to the audience appreciation event with Cheung Tat Lun as soon as he got off the plane the night before. They expressed their gratitude to the audience for their support of Hong Kong films. He was full of confidence in the film and said, "The budget of STUNTMAN isn't high and the shoot schedule is tight, but with many things I don't care about how long it takes, but the team spirit of cooperation is more important. This time, I am most grateful to have director (Benz) Kong Tao Hoi who is familiar with action movies and two directors Leung at the helm, so the action performance isn't considered difficult. In addition both the drama and the action scenes are attractive to the audience. There are not too many location changes either so the shoot felt easy."

Cheung Tat Lun said that he brought his 7-year-old son to watch the movie before. After watching this movie, he actually fell in love with action movies and was punching and kicking at home. He asked Ng Won Lung on the spot if he could recommend a kung fu teacher? Ng Won Lung suggested that Cheung Tat Lun's child should learn judo first, learn the basic skills, and learn how to fall to the ground safely without getting hurt. If Cheung Tat Lun does not mind, he can teach him. Upon hearing this, Cheung Tat Lun said that even he himself was interested in learning Kung Fu because it would be useful in future filming. H e said with a smile, "I get beaten a lot when I'm filming, and I'm really afraid when I hit people during the shoot."

Ng Won Lung also said that he does not have a martial arts school in Hong Kong, but he has been a stuntman for many years and already has a group of students. One of his students has already served as a stand-in for a lead in Hollywood, which made him happy because Kung Fu was able to flourish outside of Hong Kong. Has anyone heard about him and come here to become a disciple? He said, "Many friends in the industry have asked me to teach them kung fu, and the most well-known ones are (Nicholas) Tse Ting Fung, the girl group 2R, and artists under the same management company."

Busy with audience appreciation for the past few days, Cheung Tat Lun played the brother of Terrance Lau Chun Him in the film. The bromance between the two even made the male audience cry, which he said made him happy.
