MIRROR members Anson Kong Yip Sang (AK), ANSONBEAN (Chan Ngai Sun), Rachel Leung Yung Ting, Patrick Tam Yiu Man and Serene Lim (Lam Suen Yu) attended the production start ceremony of Herman Yau Lai To's film WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR) yesterday. AK and ANSONBEAN appeared with all new image. The former revealed that he cut his hair short and tossed away his "idol baggage". He even scared his MIRROR brothers, who asked what happened to his head.

The two refused to reveal their relationship in the film, AK said, "We play partners, men with men or women would definitely have feelings. There are many kinds of love, you can't define everything. As for any intimate scene, everyone would know when it is released. I hope to perform well in the entire film." Would he be able to accept a man-to-man kissing scene? He said, "Since I took this job, as long as the plot is reasonable I wouldn't mind. I have been in kiss scenes with female co-stars before. I am not afraid with a guy or a girl. I would only play the role on the script. Instead I feel honored to have the man-to-man opportunities, which would be very rare in life."

MIRROR sang with Eason Chan Yik Shun at the concert the night before. AK said that his group mates were happy, and to be on the same stage with their idol felt like a dream. During the rehearsal, he even remembered their names, "I was so high that I was flying in the sky, I went crazy." He said that he has taken a photo with Chan Yik Shun when he was a concert dancer for the first time more than 10 years ago, and this time the MIRROR members took turns to take photos with him alone. He joked that they were shameless as they were getting in his way. AK consoled Keung To who fell into the sea earlier. As for Anson Lo Hon Ting who danced on stage after surgery, he said, "Everyone is OK! No one is in trouble, MIRROR is safe and healthy."

ANSONBEAN revealed that at the director's request, he and AK actively prepared to deal with the nude scenes that might be needed. He dropped from 76 KG to 67 KG, and he strongly tossed away his idol baggage when he took the role. He announced earlier that he would temporarily leave the entertainment industry due to mental health and mental state problems, and ANSONBEAN said that he has recovered and returned to work. "I didn't think that it would pass so quickly and suddenly, after awhile I thought things through. The most important thing is I really like to perform. No matter how lost I get, I want to cherish every opportunity. I didn't see a doctor, but I did use a mental health app for help. Thank you to my girlfriend (Jaime) Cheung Tin Wing for her support, companionship and encouragement."

Yau Lai To and Tam Yiu Man have cooperated many times, and this time he arranged for him to play a forensic expert who investigated the case. The film industry has fallen into its winter, Yau Lai To said, "I have been in the industry for 40 years, this winter hasn't been the coldest. The eras of counterfeit videos, financial turmoil, Internet stock bubble burst, SARS, the atmosphere was even worse than now. The closure of theaters one after another of course has an impact, and it is sad to see. It is really difficult to find investors to start production, but it has never been easy for me."

Malaysian Lam Suen Yu has been filming dramas and movies in Hong Kong, would she want to go back to TVB to make dramas? She said that she wanted to try any job in this market. Earlier she publicized a photo with her stage actor boyfriend CK Liu (Lau Chun Kin), and Lam Suen Yu said that her relationship was stable and happy.
