The Lunar New Year film MY BEST BET (CHEUNG DOH BIT SING) has officially wrapped up production a few days ago. The team specifically prepared a cash cake for Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa) on the set to celebrate her birthday on November 22nd in advance. Ah Sa even revealed that Louis Cheung Kai Chung sprained his neck from laughing during the shoot, as the set was full of joy.

That night the production wrap scene was shot at a mahjong parlor. Ah Sa, Cheung Kai Chung, Kayan Ng, Bowie Wu Fung (Brother Sau) and other actors gathered on the set to celebrate. The team prepared an unique birthday cake with Lunar New Year elements like poker cards, chips, mahjong and gold coins, and contained a cash surprise that meant "becoming very popular". Ah Sa pulled out red and purple banknotes while unveiling her birthday card, and said with great surprise, "Cash, it's cash. It's my first time getting such a cake! I really like the cake, I love the filling, haha!" Ah Chung even led the team to sing the birthday song, and Ah Sa followed along with "Happy Birthday to me" in a hilarious way. The scene was very lively.

The movie has already been in production for a month in the brink of an eye. When the production wrap day came, Ah Chung found it hard to part from the happy moments at work. Everyday he improvised hilarious scenes with everyone. "We wrapped up filming today. I feel that the whole process has been super fun, and also very happy. I hope to put this happiness into the movie and edit it into a very happy work for everyone to watch." Ah Sa said, "I have never experienced such a happy production process. I really looked forward to work everyday, so that I could play with everyone and create even more very funny scenes and characters together. I think it's been too great, I am a little reluctant to give it up."

Ah Sa even revealed that Ah Chung sprained his neck while laughing during the filming. Ah Chung added, "Chu Pak Hong said that he laughed until he got up the next day and his whole body ached like he was filming a martial arts film. His abdominal muscles really hurt from the filming!" Brother Sau also shared his feelings during the filming. "I'm very happy to be able to work with some juniors this time. I'm very happy. Although the production has wrapped up, I would really miss it. I hope this movie will be a critical and box office hit."

Participating in a Lunar New Year film for the first time, Kayan Ng said with a smile, "This is the first time for me to work with so many elders. I was very nervous and very happy. I felt the magic of comedy that could be performed on the spot, and I haven't laughed so happily in a very long time."
