Malaysian goddess Lin Minchen appeared at the flash mob event yesterday and personally explained the missing incident, saying that she has apologized to director Danny Pang Fat and would cooperate with the promotion of the film in the future. She expressed her gratitude to her rumored boyfriend Edan Lui Cheuk On for publicly protecting her, and stated that she would take extra care of her passport. Although Lin Minchen has repeatedly apologized, she was still omitted from the film promotion held today. Director Pang Fat revealed that she intended to put on a "make up banquet", but he would not be able to attend.

Lin Minchen recently stated that she was unable to come to Hong Kong to attend the premiere of the movie HAUNTING CALL (SAU GEI GEIN GWAI) due to the loss of his passport, but she suddenly appeared outside the theater that night and was called "Liar Chen"! Yesterday she attended a flash mob event at Central and arrived 15 minutes early to learn dance steps. Then she was escorted by three security guards to the pavement of Queen's Road Central to prepare for filming, attracting a large number of onlookers. When music sounded at the scene, she put on a bunny hat and danced with a group of dancers for 10 minutes then took a group photo.

After the event Lin Mingchen was asked if she deliberately arrived early because of her last absence? She said that she was also in Hong Kong in the past few days. She pointed out that after the incident she officially apologized to director Danny Pang Fat, because it was her mistake that she could not catch the premiere. Regarding Pang Fat's accusation that she did not give any explanation in advance, she said that she notified the Malaysian organizers of any situation that day as soon as possible, and the relevant parties also specially sent people to Hong Kong. Perhaps because everyone was busy with the premiere the misunderstanding took place. When asked if Pang Fat has accepted the apology, she said, "The director is very nice. When I called him, he was smiling and kept telling me that it was okay."

Earlier, Edan publicly protected her and said that no actor wanted to miss their own premiere. Lin Minchen was in the same tone as her rumored boyfriend. "Actually how could I possibly not want to attend the premiere of the movie I starred in? Last month I have already started to cooperate with everyone's publicity. I value Hong Kong the most, and there were so many fans here. How could I not want to see everyone? However not being able to make it to the premiere was my mistake." As for director Wong Jing's opinion that absence was truly unforgivable, was she worried that the incident would affect her future work? She reiterated that this was completely due to her own mistake. She understood everyone's thinking. All she could do was working hard to make herself better. Currently all of her jobs were still in progress as usual. As for being called "Liar Chen", she believed that everyone she has worked with were aware of her work attitude. She would continue the film promotion and audience appreciation activities in the future. She was grateful to Edan for speaking well for her, "Thank you, thank you Edan, after the incident I also received encouragement from many friends and directors who have worked with me, telling me to cheer up, I am very touched."

In addition, Spencer Leung Sze Ho said that he wanted to invite her to appear on his TVB program with the director, but he never received a reply. She said that she replied to TVB very early, saying that she would not be able to attend as she was going to work in Taiwan that day. As for the details she would have to follow up with the team. How would she prevent herself from losing her passport again? She joked, "I will tie it up. This incident is my own mistake. I was confused. It was a lesson."

This absent left the organizers having to make compensation and the publicity and distribution department to write a report to explain. Regarding Lin Minchen's apology, Pang Fat said that she found his contact through a Malaysian investor and called in person. "I think she is sincere. She even took the initiative to suggest inviting the parties involving, including colleagues from the publicity and distribution department and the premiere venue to dinner, but I am going to go to Yunnan for two months for a film, so I will not attend." Although Lin Minchen stated that she would cooperate with the promotion of the film, her name was not seen in the promotional event held today. In response, Pang Fat said, "Because the relevant colleagues felt that she was not suitable to appear for this occasion! Later they may have other arrangements! I am just the person being informed! Forget it! Let bygones be bygones, and what was going to happen has already happened. So let's look forward."

While the lead actress Lin Minchen "disappeared", Yvette Chan Shing Yu and Jessica Chan Yee Chun strongly promoted their first film. They were interviewed together with director Danny Pang Fat earlier. Pang Fat joked that he only had one criterion for this casting: pretty and young, because the acting skills could be adjusted on the set. However the two girls gave him a big surprise, as their acting skills were quite good. He said, "Because faces must be distorted in my horror movies, whether crying or scared, they really were able to achieve the distorted faces!" He especially praised Shing Yu's strong emotional explosiveness, which left him stunned.

Shing Yu played a bully in the film. Because she did not have much acting experience, she was fully prepared in advance. She was also very intense on the set, often asking the director, "How was my performance?" She also said with a smile that she liked the speed of the movie shoot, and hoped to have the opportunity to perform again in the future. As for Jessica, who played a female ghost and was bullied, she said that she made a lot of sacrifices for this film. Not only did she perform without makeup, but she also had many bloody scenes and was even burned. Even after taking the full precaution she still suffered a minor burn on her hand, but her acting was even more realistic because of it.
