Anthony Wong Chau Sun yesterday joined Louisa So Yuk Wah, P1X3L members George Au Chun Ho, Summer Chan Chi Huen, directors Jeffrey Lam Sen and Antonio Tam Sin Yeung at the theater to thank the audience for VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH (BUT SEH JI JUI). Having been thanking the audience for several days in a row, Wong Chau Sun said that he was a little tired; but seeing that the audience liked the film and caused a heated discussion on the Internet, he felt that the hard work was worth it. He said, "If you can't forget the film, there would definitely be an echo. It is very rare, so I try to coordinate with the publicity work."

So Yuk Wah rarely thanked the audiences in the past, but this time she was happy to because it was not inevitable that the audience was willing to spend money to buy tickets to go to the theater. They wanted to thank the audience with action, and tell the audience "Your support, we have received all of it!" For the box office of more than HK$ 3 million, Wong Chau Sun was not satisfied and looked forward to 10 million. Speaking of the phenomenon that only the audience appreciation screenings would be sold out, Wong Chau Sun said, "I wouldn't look at this matter from the perspective that I have always had. Whether now it has become a part of the job or passion, I have put aside my personal opinion. Of course I have my own views, but they don't really matter. The whole thing is a change in the market, the world and values. I saw that the team was very attentive this time, so I should be involved."

Regarding the cold winter period the Hong Kong film industry is in, Wong Chau Sun joked, "Buy a better down jacket to survive the cold winter. (Are you worried?) I don't get to worry, just face it with a normal heart. Do a good job when you have one, and don't analyze why it has become like this." So Yuk Wah was optimistic about facing the cold winter, believing that everything had a cycle. "Put all things to death and come back to life. Everyone can only do their best now, fighting shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand". Were they not worried about the workload? They joked that they were retirees. ong Cahu Sun described filmmaking as a hobby class, painting was his main job as he planned to open an art exhibition. He said, "I regained my interest in painting earlier, and I think I am a decent painter. I am a Fauvist, I have painted 7 paintings and I plan to open a solo exhibition when I have 30 paintings." So Yuk Wah said that she has been working for many years, and now she should pay more attention to herself, let herself be free. In he process of planting and chatting with the turtle at home, she has learn how to live slowly from being anxious before. Instead she would see and hear even more.
