Juno Mak Chun Lung was originally scheduled to hold two "The Album: In the Name of a Father" concerts at the HKCEC in December last year. Due to his bronchitis, they were postponed to take place at AsiaWorld-Expo the night before. The new generation of singers such as MIRROR member Anson Kong (AK), COLLAR member Marf Yau Yin Tung and Wilson Ng Lam Fung were invited as guests, as well as Yan Ng Yat Yan who has already moved to the UK. She and Mak Chun Lung sang RASHOMON in the surprise finale. When Mak Chun Lung sang the last song "I'll Be Waiting in Chernobyl", he said teary eyed, "There's a time for gathering and parting." The film he directed SONS OF THE NEON NIGHTS (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier and had mixed reviews. He believed that the film only had one foreign premiere so far, so it was too early to say anything. He believed that each film has its own life, and his responsibility was to do a good job in post-production. The Hong Kong release date would wait for the distributor to make arrangements.

The Mak Chun Lung's film SONS OF THE NEON NIGHTS premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier and received mixed reviews, with some criticizing the complex and incoherent storyline to others praising the outstanding visuals. His confidence in the film has not been dampened, saying that as a filmmaker hearing two different voices was not surprising at all. The film has only made one out-of-town premiere so far, and everything was still early to say. Some pointed out that the film was too long, after editing and condensing the audience felt the film was incoherent and they were unable to understand it. Mak Chun Lung explained, "All the details, secrets and easter eggs are hidden in the film. This movie's storytelling is different from other films. You will have to ask distributors when it will be released in Hong Kong. I believe that every film has its own destiny, and my responsibility is to do the best work in the post-production. When the film is released it is the birth of a life, and I will accompany it."
