The "Hong Kong Society of Cinematographers 37th Anniversary Dinner" was held the night before, attended by Permanent Honorary President Arthur Wong Ngok Tai, President Venus Keung Kwok Man, Ng See Yuen, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Raymond Lam Fung, Michelle Wai Sze Nga and Ng Chi Hung, and the "Most Charming Actor and Actress in the Eyes of Professionals" awards were presented to Lam Fung and Wai Sze Nga, and the "Most Outstanding Cinematography of the Year" went to Cheng Siu Keung, the cinematographer of TWIIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING). More than two weeks after its release in Japan, TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN exceeded 100 million yen (about HK$5.11 million) at the box office to become the highest-grossing Hong Kong-made film released in Japan in the past five years. It even started up a "Walled City Fever", even the roasted pork rice in the film was just as popular.

Receiving the "Most Charming Actor in the Eyes of Professionals" award, Lam Fung said that he was very happy. He believed that he did not have many bad takes in his films, everyone was able to get off work early so they voted for him for this award. Speaking of the box office of TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN exceeding 100 million yen in Japan, Lam Fung was also very happy to receive the good news. He hoped that Hong Kong films would be able to achieve good box office and support overseas, and Hong Kong films would get better and better. He revealed that as far as he knew that the film would be released in Russia, South Korea, the United States, Canada and Germany. The film was so popular in Japan that the roast pork rice in the film has also become very popular. Some restaurants have even taken the opportunity to launch a special Chinese barbecued pork rice, Lam Fung said with a smile, "This is also good, and can even promote Hong Kong. If you want to eat the authentic barbecued pork rice, you have to come to Hong Kong!"

Wai Sze Nga was awarded the "Most Charming Actress in the Eyes of Professionals" award as soon as she returned to Hong Kong, after participating in the Rotterdam Film Festival for the film THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK). She was happy to receive the photographers' votes, and she was happy and sentimental to be able to win the award. "I have been in the industry for 16 or 17 years, and many of the movies I have been in were not main roles. Often times the sets were so chaotic that I might have not been taken care of, but many photographers really took care of me. They would give me advice on how to stand in the position, and remind me to be careful of falling. A photographer saved my life." Would she feel that she was charming? She admitted that she did not know, others would have to decide. However she was very happy to be able to win the award at the same time as Lam Fung, especially Lam Fung has a "bring your own" charm. In her eye would Lam Fung or her fiancé be more charming? She laughed and said, "Fiancé, I must answer like this!"

Wai Sze Nga's one-week stay in Rotterdam was her last trip before her wedding. This solo trip was particularly touristy, but she pointed out that the happiest thing was that THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) was popular with the local audience. One day when she was shopping at the supermarket, a foreign lady kept following her. It turned out that she just watched the movie and recognized her. She also mentioned that she had a family member who passed away, and she was so moved after watching the movie. She praised the movie as very beautiful. To be recognized in a distant place, she felt that it is the best gift before her wedding. With more than a week to go before the wedding date, Wai Sze Nga, who was originally calm, finally began to get nervous. "I would wake up in the middle of sleeping, remembering that a lot of things have not been done yet; but my fiancé is more nervous than me, so we comfort each other. I can only remind him that the wedding day is only ten hours, just like experiencing a momentary pain that will pass!"

Gordon Lam Ka Tung recently wrapped up the production of the new film MO FAT YIU SHU (NO MERCY). He even came to shoot overnight for several days, and filmed at the top of Tai Mo Peak on the coldest day with the temperature as low as two degrees Celsius. Many staff members fell ill one after another. Fortunately he has been exercising and was fine. He revealed that the film was a mystery detective film. He worked with Darren Wang Dalu and many action scenes. Ka Tung said that in fact, he started to prepare for a comedy half a year ago and hoped to start filming this year. Would he invite Patrick Tse Yin (Sei Gor) be invited to perform? Ka Tung said that it probably would not, the casting would depend on whether the script would be suitable, and some elders will be invited to perform this time. During the New Year Ka Tung paid a New Year visit to Sei Gor. He smiled and said, "It's like paying protection money, I will go to see him every birthday and Lunar New Year. Sei Gor is an elder I really respect. We have a connection. He is very sharp, he is still singing."
