The two-time Hong Kong Film Awards Best Screenplay winner Mak Tin Shu directed, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Michael Ning (Bak Ji), Rachel Leung Yung Ting, Larine Tang Yueping, Mak Pui Tung and Ng Wing Sze starred TOO MANY WAYS TO BE NUMBER TWO (YUT GOR BO MOON DIK DAN SUN) held its production start ceremony yesterday. Liew Chi Yu dyed her hair blue and bleached her eyebrows, Leung Yung Ting got a crew cut, and Tang Yueping in order to play Mama also performed without make up and with freckles on her face.

Liew Chi Yu played the role of an anime otaku, and the style should have the feeling of a comic character. She praised the high amount of "gold" in this combination, and the collaboration has been very happy. "The shoot has been going on for a few days. Everyone is trapped in one place, and the centripetal force is very strong". She laughed at herself for being slow minded. Whenever Bak Ji discussed the script with the director, she eavesdropped on the side to learn. "I'm here to collect money and learn this time." Bak Ji said that he, Liew Chi Yu and others were trapped in the customer service center by a bitter client who could not cut his service. Then it turned into a kidnapping incident, policewoman Leung Yung Ting led a team to the rescue. He mainly played dramatic scenes, as all the action scenes fell on Tai Yuk Kei and Mak Pui Tung. "This time had more table reads than previous movies, and I was arranged to rehearse the blocks in the factory location before filming."

Getting a crew cut, Leung Yung Ting was eye-catching. She said that she has never tried short hair since she was one year old. "Super cool, super happy, now washing my hair can be done in 10 seconds; but my boyfriend jokes that hugging me is like hugging a boy, the feeling is like dating a boy. (Were you reluctant to cut your hair short?) At first I thought I would be reluctant; but when it came to cutting, I was not reluctant at all because the role is very suitable for this short hair. In addition I have had long hair for 30 years, the change is also a good thing." She had to wield a gun in the film and even look cool. She has practiced countless times before filming. She joked that she usually had to "puff up" her chest and pose normally, but this time she put the padding on her shoulder to make the character more imposing.

New to the role of a mother, Tang Yueping praised the director for seeing her knack for taking care of people, "I am a Mommy type. I usually like to take care of my friends, but just from my appearance you might not think of that. I hope to date and get married earlier, but they haven't been successful in the reality. Realizing them in a movie is also a happy thing." She also did not mind appearing without her makeup, "It's very difficult to be a mother, not having time to take care of herself. I instead asked the director, does my hair need to be a little drier?"
