The Dayo Wong Tze Wah and Michael Hui Koon Man starred film THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) as of yesterday exceeded the HK$ 35 million mark at the box office. THE LAST DANCE has become a hot topic recently, and the advanced sales on the theater sites also have their shares of "Red Sea" full houses. Director and screenwriter Anselm Chan Mou Yin thanked the audience for the past few days, and the audience asked about the missing scenes and characters. He admitted that scenes and characters have been deleted, and he also hoped that an extended version would bring back the deleted scenes. When audience appreciation events he also revealed the behind-the-scenes stories. In the film, Miss Yen (Rosa Velasco (Wai Law Sa) who was reluctant to leave her son for burial had a real life prototype and was adapted from a real case.

The Terence Lam Ka Him performed THE LAST DANCE theme song music video contained a scene of Wong Tze Wah alone looking at the sea, but it did not appear in the movie. Also discovered was that at THE LAST DANCE production start worship ceremony Kaki Sham was also present. He once revealed that he played Wong Tze Wah's younger brother, but he was not seen in the film. Kaki Sham and Vincent Kok Tak Chiu's names were seen in the special thanks credits in the film, and it was said that the latter played Tze Wah's friend. When Chan Mou Yin thanked the audience, a viewer asked about that. He admitted that he deleted part of the plot due to the length of the film. The family story of the Wong Tze Wah played To Sun was removed. Chan Mou Yin revealed that he was working hard to "resurrect" the deleted scenes. He also hoped to have an extended version, so he asked the audience to pray together.

Also online was director Chan Mou Yin's revelation at an audience appreciation event. He mentioned the case in the film, in which the Wai Law Sa played Miss Yen was looking for a rare wood coffin and wanted to preserve her son's body. The director revealed that the real story was that a daughter was looking for a rare wood coffin to store her father's body around Hung Hom. At the time she was even taken for a lot of money. Later she met THE LAST DANCE's funeral consultant William, who finally took care of her father's body for her. Now it is still stored in the coffin home. William also shared this story on social media, mentioning that in reality it took 5 people 3 hours to embalm the body that day.

Yesterday the film company released more THE LAST DANCE behind the scenes footage. Wong Tze Wah personally applied makeup on the late Sister Lin (Kam Yin Ling). For a realistic performance, he went over every step with a professional makeup artist before getting into position. During the filming, he carefully completed the processes like disinfection, makeup application and hair combing. Tze Wah studied a lot of etiquette information with the team, and was familiar with the process like putting on makeup, remains exhumation, arranging funerals, etc. He joked that he could change careers, "I am very lucky to have participated in a film that is very realistic and requires a lot of research. If I can't make any money one day, I think I will be better than the average person and apply for this position of etiquette master." He and Paul Chun Pui filmed the "bone-collecting" scene in Wo Hop Shek. The two professionally recreated the entire process, from exhuming the tomb to opening the pagoda, disinfecting the corpse's skull and other procedures. Tze Wah communicated with relevant professionals at the scene, marveled at the professionalism and rigors of the funeral industry, and gained knowledge for himself.

In the scene where Kam Yin Ling played a corpse, she had to lie down in the coffin herself, hold her breath and not move at all. This scene was a production wrap scene for Kam Yin Ling, who was moved to sentimental tears. "I am a very sentimental person. To be able to participate in this work, we contribute a little. I think it is very worthwhile to work with the next generation to help them." She praised Wai Sze Nga for her outstanding performance and witnessed her progress and growth after working with her on READY O/R ROT (BUT YUT SING FUN 2).

The realism of the corpse handling in LAST was praised. Responsible for the special effects makeup of the corpse, Wilfred Wan shared the production process on social media, including Sister Lin's swollen feet, and the child actor Cayson Yeung Tsz Hong who played the corpse of Miss Yen's son had to add rotting flesh to his body. Wilfred regarded the story between Rachel Leung Yung Ting and "Hei Man" in the film as a big challenge, because the director asked Tze Wah to interact with Hei Man when he applied her makeup. He had to use 3D printing technology to create multiple mechanism designs on Hei Man's prosthetic head to achieve the effect. The real life model of the "Hei Man"'s skin mold was Katrina Chan Pui Yan, and the finished product is lifelike. Some online recognized Chan Pui Yan from her participation in ViuTV's "GOOD NIGHT SHOW - CM QUEEN"; and when she was a guest on "TALKER: WHAT LOVE YOU SAY", she revealed that her first boyfriend was a superstar. Although she did not name names, some speculated that it was Jackson Wang Ka Yee.
