Philip Keung Ho Man and girl group COLLAR member Candy Wong Ka Ching attended the premiere of the movie POSSESSION STREET (CHEH MALL) the night before. Keung Ho Man praised his on screen daughter Candy for her filial piety, as she often checked up on him from time to time. He was also happy to see her assertiveness during the performance. Making her first movie, Candy said that the "father and daughter" were able to get along well completely due to Keung Ho Man's initiative to break the ice. Keung Ho Man said, "When I saw in the script that in the first few scenes we already had to shoot a very intense argument scene, but we haven't even talk to each other yet. I don't even know how to talk with people at all, so I could only buck up and chat with Candy." In movies he often played the role of Papa, with an overabundance of fatherly love. In real life he spoils his nephew, for which his family constantly scolded him for.
Candy has loved watching vampire and zombie movies since she was little. When asked if she wore any scary makeup, Candy said, "I didn't need to, but in the movie I don't get to be too pretty anyway. I had to run away, and I had to panic." Keung Ho Man spent three to four hours for make up at work everyday. Shooting on location at a shopping center without air conditioning, he kept sweating and had to frequently have his make up mixed. After work he also spent two hours to remove the make up, but he thought trying something different was worth all the hardship. Later he would go to Malaysia to make a Lunar New Year. He heard that other Hong Kong actors would join the cast. "People there love to watch Lunar New Year movies as much as people in Hong Kong, the whole family would go to the movies to celebrate the New Year."
Speaking of Keung Ho Man's earlier trip to Yemen to shoot the TVB program and face the threat of war, he pointed out that they were under military protection throughout the whole process during the filming. "We shot with a drone, the soldiers anxiously asked if the drone in the air were ours. Otherwise they would shoot it down." Because of the poor network there, he lost contact for a whole day and worried his family. He realized the importance of reporting his safety. Shooting in a canyon, he had to walk a kilometer alone. He was the most concerned about wild animals or poisonous bugs, if he took a wrong step he would have fallen toff the cliff and lose his life.
