In terms of Hong Kong Lunar New Year films, a film review page on the Internet recently pointed out that several Hong Kong-made Lunar New Year films this year had "reasonably poor box office". It also pointed out that they were "so bad that you had to leave before watching the whole movie", which the lead actor of MY BEST BET (CHEUNG DOH BIT YANG) Louis Cheung Kai Chung was upset. His comment indicated that he would boycott the page in the future. Ah Chung conducted a live broadcast the day before yesterday. He said that when he was studying at the Academy for Performing Arts and wrote reviews, he felt that film critics were like tour guides. "Maybe the audience has not been exposed to the movie, and they need film critics to guide and introduce from which angle to begin their appreciation. They don't have to praise, they can criticize." He pointed out that everyone can have their own preferences, whether it is good or bad he would accept it. "I don't mind going to everyone's show (film critics) to chat, I want to know what the audience likes now. The most fun part of acting is no standard, the acting style is different all over the world and in every era." Speaking of the special page criticizing this year's Lunar New Year films and making some think that none are not worthy of admission, Ah Chung said, "As a filmmaker of this generation, we will always work hard and keep going. If everyone wants this business to be better, can you use a better way to guide it? For the public, it's just a movie; but in my eyes, it's our industry." The page later admitted the gaffe and apologized, and pointed out that the Lunar New Year film that they left early from that day was not MY BEST BET.

As for the Louis Koo Tin Lok, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Chrissie Chau Sau Na starred Lunar New Year film HIT N FUN (LUM SI KUET DAU), its box office exceeded HK$ 10 million yesterday.
