Kelly Chen Wai Lam held a new song THE FRAGRANCE OF MEMORY music video press conference and movie LAVENDER (FUN YI CHO) screening at the cinema the night before. Kelly said that Kong Hoi Ka (AGA) wrote the new song two years ago. AGA also liked the movie and songs of LAVENDER, and the concept of the new song could be regarded as a continuation of the film. Kelly laughed and said that she rewatched the movie with Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo), admitted that she also missed him and hoped to have the opportunity to work with him again. Kelly bluntly said that she was ready to start a side track show, and a long-lost "male god" will join her in March.

Chen Wai Lam said at the meeting that she has collaborated with Gum Sing Mo three times, including the movies LOST AND FOUND (TIN NGAI HOI GOK), ANNA MAGDALENA (ON NA MA DUT LIN NA) and LAVENDER. She said with a smile, "I remember when I was filming LOST, Gum Sing Mo and I were not familiar at all. He often looked at the sea alone like an artist, and I thought to myself, 'You are quite boring.' When I made ANNA we started to get acquainted, because (Aaron) Kwok Fu Sing was present to create the atmosphere. We became even more familiar when filming LAVENDER. Because it was just the two of us, we would have bad breath if we didn't talk day and night; so we became friends, and our chemistry was even better."

Chen Wai Lam said that the new song was inspired by LAVENDER and was recorded two years ago. It was only released now completely because she was waiting for the director to finish the music video. "The director has many ideas. He wants to ask Gum Sing Mo, and he wants to shoot in France. It's too much! We don't have such a big budget." Why did she not ask Gum Sing Mo to perform in the new song music video? Kelly said, "Because I couldn't find him, I rarely contact him, and I miss him a little. Now watching the movie again I felt that at the time we were rather pretty well matched, very romantic." Kelly also said that the new song music video deliberately went back to the locations of LAVENDER at Central, but unfortunately most of the scenes are unrecognizable. The original restaurant has now become an empty shop, which was quite depressing."

She said that after watching Gum Sing Mo in SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) he already felt drastically different. "Now he has turned into a big brother. At the time he was a young man. We were very romantic.

Cheung Kai Chung believed that being nominated was already a success and a win-win situation. Chan Ka Lok was nominated for the first time after many years in the industry. He was very moved, thanked the industry for the affirmation given to him and the friends who helped him along the way.

Regarding his friend Michelle Wai Sze Nga's excitement and tears when announcing the nominations, Ka Lok pointed out that her expression made him sublimate that emotion and even revealed that he has jokingly told her to pretend to read his name no matter what. "Who knew that when I saw her expression when she opened the letter, I still thought, 'Are you acting or really moved'? Seeing her getting more and more excited, I suddenly had a feeling of 'could there really be a chance'?" He admitted that the two have been in the industry for eighteen or nineteen years and have experienced a lot side by side. He believed that she was truly happy for him. His wife Shiga Lin was so happy that she screamed wildly when she learned the news, and even more excited than him. Would he walk the red carpet with his wife on the day of the award ceremony? Ka Lok said that of course he wanted to, but his wife would be going elsewhere for work in mid-April, and he hoped that they would be able to coordinate the schedule.

Cheung Kai Chung said that the whole family was happy for him to be nominated, facing off two Best Actors Louis Koo Tin Lok and Tony Leung Ka Fai. Cheung Kai Chung said frankly, "Being nominated is already a great affirmation. I have already handed in the best homework, so I can walk the red carpet with my head held high. Within my own ability, I have overcome many things to play the role well. I am proud of myself." He would invited his wife Kay Tse On Kay to accompany him and help him stabilize his emotions. Chan Ka Lok said that Heaven would decide the outcome, and he was worthy of the role he played. He could not help but cry on the spot after learning the news of the nomination.

Fortunately, with the advancement of technology they could often meet via video. He even have found that his son has changed from "read" to "response in seconds", and now everyone's relationships are closer. He laughed and said that if his younger daughter also went overseas to study in the future, he would follow her and even emigrate. He also laughed at himself that now he would cry so easily that he would be for being suitable for making romantic films. He said that on the day of bidding their son farewell, both he and his wife cried and had no appetite to eat in the terminal. After boarding when the flight attended served meals he was already in a pool of tears. Fellow father Chan Ka Lok smiled and said that he tried not to think about these problems. Because his daughter has grown up a little now, not letting him hold on has not felt good.

Playing the role of a policewoman in the film, Ma Sihui joked that she was lucky to have a group of young men around. She could appreciate the handsome men while being protected so she felt happy. The hardest part of the film was running and lifting guns. Would she feel that she would need physical training after filming? As one of the members of the girl group VIVA, Macy said, "VIVA is training every day, because we signed up for a sports competition that requires the cooperation of four people. We will soon release a new song, I hope to release it in April."

Chan Kwok Bong said that he was very happy to constantly come out to promote recently and would not be accused of being dull, because his daughter Chan Chun also said the same and thought he was annoying. However he had no plan to deliberate change how he and his daughter got along, feeling that as long s the family atmosphere was harmious it as fine. He also pointed out that on his 58th birthday earlier, because his wife and daughter were both in Thailand, he made an appointment with Louis Yuen Siu Cheung to celebrate.
