Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa), Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Bowie Wu Fung (Brother Sau), Tommy Chu Pak Hong and Stanley Yau Si Chun and others attended the Lunar New Year film MY BEST BET (CHEUNG DOH BIT YANG)'s banquet the night before. Everyone wished for the film to be a big hit in advance and wish Brother Sau an early Happy New Year. The mischievous Ah Sa even grabbed all the lai see from Brother Sau's hands. Ah Sa felt that she had good luck after filming the Lunar New Year film; Cheung Kai Chung said that life must have the courage to fight, and with positive mentality luck would naturally come; Yau Si Chun could not help but laugh when he saw Chu Pak Hong pretending to be mixed-race.
Just returned to Hong Kong from touring the United States and Canada, Ah Sa learned that the movie THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) broke the box office record. She felt like some of the glory has rubbed off on her, because she was very happy for her boss Albert Yeung Sau Sing and the lead actress Michelle Wai Sze Nga. It was difficult for an actor to wait for a good role and a good script; just like wearing a glass slipper, it was about the chance to meet the right one.
Speaking of running the magnitude 7 earthquake in California, USA, Ah Sa still said with palpitations, "At that time I thought I ran into a ghost. Although it was 10 o'clock in the morning, I pulled the curtains and went to sleep. Suddenly I heard the sound of the doors and windows, and the water in the bathtub shook into waves just like in a ghost movie. I got up to check but felt dizzy, so finally I returned to bed. After calming down I thought that it might be an earthquake." Ah Sa said that the funniest thing was that when she asked if there was an earthquake in the phone work group, everyone else said that they did not feel it on the streets and made fun of her for having a nightmare. Gillian Chung Yun Tung slept so well that she had no idea. Although it is not the first time that Ah Sa has encountered an earthquake, but this time she felt it the most. She said, "I am blessed with a great life, on my birthday I happened to finish a show in the Toronto. Then the staff suggested that I go to the casino to try my luck. My colleague gave me 100 Canadian dollars to play Black Jack. I lost the first hand, but on the second hand I won back 3 times the money on blackjack. I immediately cut and ran. I think it was the luck from finishing the Lunar New Year film."
Cheung Kai Chung believed that luck could be artificially created. As long as a positive mentality was maintained, good luck will come naturally. He said, "The movie is not only about gambling on the table, actually life also must have the courage to fight. I took the most risks after graduating from the Academy of Performing Arts when I got into the business to pursue my dream. I also met my current wife, a lot of friends, and many things were unexpected. Next year would be my 20th year in the industry. I finally feel that I have done pretty well, it's so wonderful." Speaking of Ah Chung's Malaysian Lunar New Year film "Be a Rich Man", he in turn would compete with himself during the Lunar New Year. He said that the Malaysian movie would mostly be ensemble scenes, but he will go to Malaysia to promote when the time comes. Referring to the serious impact on the image of Lin Minchen for missing her movie promotion, Cheung Kai Chung said that outsiders did not know about the incident, but remembered that when they went to the mainland to promote TABLE FOR SIX 2 (FAN HEI GUNG SUM 2) last year, Minchen was so sick that she vomited and needed a IV but she still wanted to work. He felt that she was very professional. Did he think that Minchen's work attitude has changed after she started dating, Ah Chung said, "Don't mislead me or anyone, people who know Minchen know that she is professional. I don't know about her private life so I won't comment. As a friend I just hope that the incident will end as soon as possible." He also praised Edan as very smart, so he would not need to teach him how to handle this incident. "I am not certain about their stance and relationship. At the current stage they focus on career development. If it involves another person, it might distract everyone from the recognition of their work. So doing their jobs well would be the most important. Trust is accumulated. Whether it is true or being framed, people would naturally understand how your attitude is."
Yau Si Chun arrived late due to work reasons, and was teased by Cheung Kai Chung for making his "grand entrance". Making a Lunar New Year film for the first time, Yau Si Chun said that the hardest thing was to keep from laughing, especially when he saw his co-star Chu Pak Hong pretending to mixed-race. He said that he would prepare a big bag to bring to thank the audience, as he would use it to hold all the lai see. Was he prepared to give lai see? He said, "I can give them to the staff. I am not old enough to, but giving lai see is a blessing." Did he know if any MIRROR group mates also made Lunar New Year films to compete at the box office? Stanley said that as far as he knew they did not. Chu Pak Hong laughed at himself and said that he wanted to vomit when he saw his mixed-race appearance. Referring to Cheung Kai Chung's frequent claim that Chu Pak Hong's performance in THE LAST DANCE was the favorite for the Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards and made him very embarrassed, Chu Pak Hong said, "Recently many people have asked me if I have the confidence to win the award. I will definitely want to win the award, and I have confidence in myself." He said that it still depended on who else would be in the race. As for Best Actor between Michael Hui Koon Man and Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Chu Pak Hong smiled and pointed out that both were co-stars, both were favorites. He thought that the quality of their performances and roles were completely different, and the presentation in the story was also different. Each had his own sharp spot.
