The premiere of the movie THE REMNANT (NGOK YUN DONG DOH) was held under Typhoon Signal No. 3 the night before, stars Philip Keung Ho Man (Brother Hak), Cecilia Yip Tung, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Ling Man Lung, young actor So Tin Lok and director Mandrew Kwan Man Hin.

Yip Tung played a confused single woman who lived in her own world in the film, often needing to be taken care of by the former mob boss turned laundry owner Brother Hak. She also revealed that she was deceived by the director when she took on the role. "The director told me at the beginning that the role was beautiful, but it turned out to be a different flavor." Brother Hak pointed out that Yip Tung's character was like "Tsim Sha Tsui Susie". Would the two have any romance? Yip Tung said that Brother Hak's role was like a butler, so she took advantage of his passion and enthusiasm.

Yip Tung admitted that because of the inner complexity of the character, she often carefully pondered her acting skills during filming, so that she inadvertently "had a gloomy look". She apologized to Brother Hak on the spot, "Actually I am friendly. If I look gloomy to you, I'm sorry. You got me though, I don't just have a gloomy look to you. I have a gloomy face for everyone." Was Brother Hak frightened by Yip Tung's aura? He said, "No, I know she's getting into character."

Earlier Yip Tung and Kenny Wong Tak Bun performed the play LEFT UNSAID. When Brother Hak heard this he immediately asked Yip Tung if he would have the opportunity to work with her on the stage. He joked, "When I saw Wong Tak Bun I was drooling, (stealing Wong Tak Bun's job?) Can't we work together?" Yip Tung joked, "That's great, I get to sit on your lap again." In addition, regarding her husband Louis Tan (Chan Kwok Fun)'s drastic weight loss, Yip Tung responded in a low-key manner with "Thank you for thinking of us." and did not want to talk more.

Liew Chi Yu played the mother for the sixth time in the film, and praised the young actor So Tin Lok for being worldly. Their collaboration was pleasant. She admitted that she had no parenthood plan, and joked that her good sister Jennifer Yu Heung Ying has raised the standard of being a mother; she took great care of both her career and family. She also mentioned that she fell and injured her tail bone during filming earlier, and still felt pain when bending over. Both fatigue and poor posture would aggravate the old wound, but she was not sure whether it would affect fertility.

Ling Man Lung also has no baby plan for the time being, as he would focus on career development. He revealed that he played a villain in the film, but because Brother Hak's aura was too strong he "could not stand it". He even asked Brother Hak to "lower his aura a little". He said that he had an action scene that required many takes because he was afraid of hurting Brother Hak, which made him feel deeply sorry.
