A few days ago (10th) the 49th Hong Kong International Film Festival opened at the Hong Kong Cultural Center, the movie MONTAGES OF A MODERN MOTHERHOOD (FU DUK BUT) premiered at the film festival the night before, actors Hedwig Tam Sin Yin, Lo Chun Yip, Fung So Bo, Annie Man Chung Han and director Oliver Chan Siu Guen attended together. Considered the "Best Actress" dark horse at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, Tam Sin Yin joked that she was the "gray horse".

The film MONTAGES OF A MODERN MOTHERHOOD is also in contention for several awards at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, and has previously been screened at festivals in Tokyo, Busan and Taiwan. During an interview, Tam Sin Yin and Lo Chun Yip said that the film has always been shared in the industry. This is the first premiere for the Hong Kong public, so they are very much looking forward to the audience's response.

Tam Sin Yin said, "At first I was worried about the reaction of the male audience, but I didn't expect that many married men reflected on their attitude towards their wives after watching it. Children felt guilty about their mothers, and female audiences sympathized and got teary eyed." As the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress "dark horse", she laughed and pointed out that she was dressed like a "gray horse" but the preparation of the "battle suit" gave her a headache. She only thought about holding the baby doll on the red carpet with the film's lead actor Lo Chun Yip.

Lo Chun Yip was also nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" for the film, so he was also scheduled to walk the red carpet with his co-star Tam Sin Yin. As for his girlfriend Fish Liew Chi Yu, she would also attend the Hong Kong Film Awards but he did not ask who she would walk the red carpet with. They each had different tasks, and it would be very interesting to participate in it together. Tam Sin Yin and Lo Chun Yip were actually the most nervous about the audience reactions, because the subject of this movie was more serious. The film has been scheduled to be released only a few days before the Hong Kong Film Awards, so she hoped that being nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards will help increase the box office of the movie.
