Tony Wu Tsz Tung and German Cheung Man Kit have attracted much attention for their earlier performance in TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING). The two continue to tell stories with action in the Lunar New Year film HIT N FUN (LUM SI KUET DAU). Wu Tsz Tung revealed that for a disrobing scene in the film, he had to train more before hand. Later he would have to make another film that would require him to show off his muscles, which gave him quite a headache during the Lunar New Year. He would not be able to eat and drink as much as he would like.

The Lunar New Year film HIT N FUN took boxing as its subject, and told one passionate story after another in a comedic way. Wu Tsz Tung and Cheung Man Kit were like brothers in the film. Cheung Man Kit and his master Louis Koo Tin Lok broke up due to different ideas, and decided to set up their own boxing gym and run it in a commercial way. However Cheung Man Kit pointed out that the role was just the opposite of what he himself was pursuing, "The role focuses on making money, but for myself ideals go first. Of course there are times when I couldn't persist and wanted to give up. I am not young, so I definitely have a lot of experience. Specifically in this line of work, normal people can't stick to it. Being an actor in Hong Kong is very difficult. When other professions have to think about how to live, this line of work know even less about how to think about life, how to use what you like to make a living. I believe that every Hong Kong actor or film industry colleague would have experienced that, just depending how much you could endured. I am still working because I like it. I am a little different from everyone, since I have work involving stunts. I hope to share the action experience with people around me to help improve this industry together. If everyone has this type of skills then make action films, then we can make progress in Hong Kong films."

Wu Tsz Tung said that he was similar to the character's personality, and he would continue to persist even if he loses more than 30 times in the film. He felt that was very similar to his career as an athlete and actor, "Whether as an athlete or an actor, there will be many setbacks in the middle; but I told myself that I like it very much, and I wouldn't give up because of a few frustrations." He also said that during the pandemic, his work was greatly reduced and he once felt very lost. His friend suggested for him to become an athlete again, "The more you are lost, the more difficulties you face. Then you have to find goals for yourself. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you have no goal. Even if it is down to details like you get up every day, cook and go to the gym, only with a goal can you be motivated; and only with motivation can you change." He also revealed that he needed to remove his shirt in the film this time, but he could not relax after filming because the next job also needed him to show off his muscles. He was left with quite a headache this Lunar New Year, as he could not eat and drink uncontrollably.

In rather good shape, they joked that they wanted to try the fat guy shape and welcomed jobs that would require them to gain weight. If they gained weight would they be able to resist their habit of exercising? Wu Tsz Tung joked that if he wanted to gain weight, he must eat at least 5 meals a day. If he continued to gain weight and did not exercise, he would have psychological problems. So he would have to exercise a little, and recommended that everyone abandon the elevator and take the stairs during the New Year. They could lose fat on the side during the New Year. Cheung Man Kit said, "In the New Year it would be best to do exercises that help the abdomen, which is laughing like crazy for 10 minutes every day, from the beginning of the year to the seventh day of the new year. You would definitely laugh until you have abdominal muscles!"
