Philip Keung Ho Man (Hak Gor) and his wife Yin Ning worked together to concoct their first Lunar New Year film HA HA HA HAPPY NEW YEAR with warmth and joy. Earlier Hak Gor brought his nephew's child and his family to enjoy his work and made a surprise appearance to thank the audience for its support.

Hak Gor said excitedly, "I originally wanted to go to the theater with my family to watch this movie, but during the movie I found that the audience's reaction was very happy. So when the show ended I stood up to greet the audience and thanked everyone for their support, and everyone was pleasantly surprised. It just so happened that my wife has some 'hahaha gold medals' with her, so we gave them to everyone for the New Year. I didn't expect anything, but I ended up bringing a big surprise for myself."

Referring to the support his nephew's child Honey, the long time grand uncle said, "This nephew's daughter has always been very attached to me. After she listened to me singing the HA HA HA HAPPY NEW YEAR theme song, she kept singing the lyrics of "Prosperity and Prosperity" and asked me many times to take her to the theater to watch the movie and listen to the song. She also laughed along with the plot, which proved that this movie is suitable for all ages. Finally she even wanted to be in the group photo with me and the audience, which is very funny."

Despite the sluggish film market, Hak Gor was glad that many groups and merchants who chartered shows to support the film. "These merchants include restaurants and beauty salons, Aside from watching the movie you can also have restaurant discounts with the ticket stub, which to viewers is absolutely worth the price of the ticket. Of course I hope to attract audiences from outside Hong Kong to watch the film. Aside from attracting everyone to watch the film, I can indirectly promote or revitalize Hong Kong's tourism industry -- many birds, one stone."
