Joel Chan Shan Chung, Oscar Leung King Fai (Wei Wei), Bob Lam Sing Bun and Christine Ng Wing Mei co-starred in the Lunar New Year film MAMA NOT AGAIN (MA DIK YAU YIU GA), which held an opening ceremony in Kuala Lumpur the day before yesterday (19th). Leung King Fai worked as an actor and a first-time screenwriter, and revealed that he sold his home for production expenses. "If this time doesn't work out , I will have to sleep on the street. I hope that during the ice age of the film industry, actors from Hong Kong and Malaysia will work hard together to make a movie that makes the audience happy and can bring out the message of cherishing their families."

Chan Shan Chung also agreed to donate his personal salary as an investment and a small gesture to do a little bit for the film industry. "Many people say that the film industry is in an ice age, and we have always hoped to make a Lunar New Year film that can bring happiness and warmth to the audience. This year we finally found a few investors. Leung King Fai makes his screenwriting debut, I believe he is definitely capable. Even more thank you to god sister Ng Wing Mei, she knows that the production budget is not much, and she is willing to help at friendly prices." Since having been friends with several co-stars for many years, Chan Shan Chug expected that they would definitely improvise as soon as they would take their places. The 48-year-old Chan Shan Chung played the son of the 56-year-old Ng Wing Mei in the film, which he thought was very reasonable because they were both good looking people. He only did not understand why Lam Sing Bun played his younger brother. Bob countered, "You rely on your appearance, I rely on my the acting within to perform."

Ng Wing Mei was originally very willing to play the role of a mother, but when she learned that her sons were Chan Shan Chung and Lam Sing Bun she was shocked. Fortunately the director arranged for 31- year-old handsome Malaysian actor Daniel Feng Weiquan to play her husband, and she could not stop smiling. Always playful, Ng Wing Kei could not help but touch her "husband's" chin in public. She even stretched out her hand to rub his pectoral muscles like mad, which made the shy Feng Weiquan look embarrassed.
