Carlos Chan Ka Lok in the Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum) directed Lunar New Year film QUEEN OF MAHJONG (MA JEUK NUI WONG JUI NAM JAI) played the Best Actor "Brother Chin Hung". With the recent release of the trailer, Ka Lok's exaggerated interpretation and styling were reminiscent of Alex Man Chi Leung. One of the "foul language funny scenes" was derived from Man Chi Leung's performance in the movie THE CONMEN IN VEGAS (DOH HUP DAI JIN LA SI WAI GA SI) more than 20 years ago. In just a few shots, Ka Lok has successfully gotten rid of the previous mild mannered image and changed to the ruffian route to bring freshness to the audience.
In order to "be in sync" with Man Chi Leung, Ka Lok said, "Actually, I watched this scene when I was younger, but Man Chi Leung's performance was so emotional that it was highly difficult for me. I watched it (his performance) again and again before filming, and even kept trying it in front of the mirror or the director." He joked that his voice was relatively weak, so in the later stage of filming his "voice was hoarse from yelling".
