Gigi Leung Wing Kei, Peter Chan Charm Man, Ling Man Lung, Rachel Leung Yung Ting and others attended the premiere of the new film PASS AND GOAL (YIK JUEN SEUNG BOON CHEUNG) the night before. In the film Gigi took a soccer ball to the face and thus became linked to a group of lower class children, then she even led them to form a soccer team to compete. The content was both inspirational and passionate. Gigi laughed and said that when filming the "face" scene, she asked for more force as she would rather take a shot to the face than reshoot it if the result was bad.

Gigi admired the group of child actors in the film, who were well prepared and filmed with care. Because the movie was filmed in the summer, everyone got tanned together when filming outdoors. The children grew up rapidly within a month as well. Gigi said, "A soccer player herself, Chow Kei Yuet was a little shy at first. She reminded me of when I first entered the industry to film with (Andy) Lau Tak Wah. I remember back then I was very cowardly, I didn't dare to look at Wah Jai in the eyes as I was afraid of being electrocuted by him." Some said that the film has arranged for actors to cover Dicky Cheung Wai Kin's version of "CAPTAIN TSUBASA" for promotion, but unfortunately the copyright owner did not agree and made the plan dead on arrival. Although Gigi felt sorry, she also respected the decision of the copyright owner. Perhaps in the future the opportunity to be released would arise. As for whether the film company had any backup plan to deal with it, Gigi said, "Probably not, I can only stay at home and listen to it by myself. I like the Cheung Wai Kin version very much, I am very enthusiastic. Yet life is like this, sometimes despite all preparations it may not come true. You face it head-on, without this song promotion, we would be able to do more audience appreciation activities. The movie is very educational, I hope the children will be positively affected." When asked if Gigi has a dream that she still would want to pursue, she said, "Everyone has a dream, the only difference is whether it can be realized. Everyone knows that I studied design, I have thought about being a professional designer but now I don't have the opportunity as an actor. However many opportunities to come into contact with design in the circle would still arise." Gigi will return to Spain with her Spanish husband to visit relatives on Christmas, and will start the audience appreciation events after returning to Hong Kong. Gigi has been accused of serving as a judge for the finals of the talent show with the members of a Korean girl group, she admitted that she will be a talent show judge for the first time, so she will take the time to look at the performance of the contestants, and her scoring criteria will focus on the personal charm of the contestants.

Ling Man Lung in the film played a rich kid and a Papa. He said that working with children has not been difficult, and it also gave him a taste of what it would feel like to be a father. He said, "The character would do some stupid things, so he would often make mistakes. As a result his father and son would scold him in the film, which is also the comedic spot the movie." The film encouraged everyone to pursue their dreams bravely. Ling Man Lung said that in addition to always acting to pursue his dreams, he also wanted to travel to Europe and set foot in places he has never been to. The reporter smiled and asked if he has ever thought about being a father in reality, Ling Man Lung said, "I have thought about it, but the burden of having a child is not only physical and financial, but also mental to be taken care of. I would also to pave the way for the child's life. I myself am still looking for my own path, if I have a child the pressure would be even greater."
