The Will Or Wai Lam, Chung Suet Ying, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Yeung Nga Man and other artists voiced Hong Kong animated film ANOTHER WORLD (SAI OI) was selected as the opening film of the 22nd Hong Kong Asian Film Festival. The actors attended the premiere the night before. In addition to focusing on publicity, they also personally responded to the concerns of star actors stealing the jobs of professional voice actors. Battling stage 4 lung adenocarcinoma, Or Wai Lam revealed that he will take a short break after completing the work at hand.

Cheung Kai Chung joked that this dubbing was "very comfortable". "Because the character has no appearance or mouth, lip synching is not needed." He revealed that he only received a "heartfelt price" for his remuneration. Because he appreciated the producer's inspirational process that started from zero very much, he was very honored to be able to participate. For this movie, he and his wife Kay Tse On Kay even flew to Taiwan for dubbing and took their daughter and colleagues on a trip. After completing work they stayed in Taiwan for fun as a company trip. Kay said that the expenses in Taiwan were not light, equivalent to no salary but she did not mind because the producer Yeung Bo Man was a good friend. Regarding online questioning about the excessive use of stars and fear that it would shrink the space for professional voice actors, Cheung Kai Chung joked that "it probably isn't referring to me", because he has already joined the dubbing industry as early as 1989. He sincerely hoped that ANOTHER WORLD could go hand in hand with masterpieces such as DEMON SLAYER, drive the entire animation industry, and increase the workload of all film professionals. Kay also hoped that this film would show the world that Hong Kong has high quality animation production and bring in even more overseas funding in the future. In addition she has been rumored to be at odds with Juno Mak Chun Lung, whose new film SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) has received many negative reviews. Kay said that she has not have the time to watch the film, but sincerely hoped that investors would get their return.

Chung Suet Ying and Or Wai Lam also shared their dubbing experience. Chung recalled that dubbing an unfinished manuscript at that time was interesting and felt like taking part in its creation. Regarding the criticism of "stealing a job", she thanked the online opinions and was willing to listen to their opinions for improvement. She hoped that the film could promote the Hong Kong animation industry. Or Wai Lam believed that being discussed would be better than having no response, and he was not unhappy with criticism. He revealed that he has auditioned recently. He pointed out that he has completed 20 show stage play run earlier and proved that he was in good health. He would take a short break after completing the work at hand, and he expected to shut down before the Lunar New Year next year. Nominated for the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor with the film A FOGGY TALE, he revealed that he has already written the speech because he had many people he would need to thank.
