After Fish Liew Chi Yu was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards, when asked if she would ask for a raise when accepting film roles she bluntly said that the film market was sluggish and she began to feel pressured. She hoped to be able to receive more jobs, and as long as others would no longer ask her to take a pay cut she would already be pleased. As for Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Fish collaborating again after 10 years, she was confident that her friend would win Best Actress.

Best Actress Yu Heung Ying, Liew Chi Yu, Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi), Elizabeth Tang Tao, Yanny Chan Wing Yan, etc. attended their movie GIRLFRIENDS (NUI HAI BUT PING FAN)' star screening the night before. Yu Heung Ying and Fish collaborated again 10 years after SISTERHOOD (GWUT MUI), and Fish admitted that in recent years they have been busy with their own schedules and rarely have time to get together. With this production instead they could chat to their hearts' content during breaks. After Fish was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards, although she was the favorite she did not dare to think too much. "Everyone seems to have predicted that I will definitely win, everyone knows that the favorite will be upset. When I heard I was nominated I already felt it was enough; so even if I don't get it, don't be too harsh on me. I'm so scared! (Chasing old friend Yu Heung Ying?) No, I can walk slowly on my own path!" Yu Heung Ying expressed her full confidence in Fish, and said with a smile that if she would be successfully crowned she would ask her to take everyone on vacation.

Fish felt that the most important thing was to get more jobs, admitting that the market downturn made her a little worried and stressed. "Although I said it doesn't matter whether I win an award or not, with the nomination I personally feel that times are different now. (The asking price is higher?) I only ask not to ask me to take a pay cut anymore, be able to maintain a good price, having a job is already great! Thank you to the Hong Kong Film Awards for giving me confidence." Regarding her tears at the Macau premiere earlier, she revealed that she and her friends in SISTERHOOD have developed well; so when everyone can stand on the stage in unison, she was quite touched.

Playing a pair again 10 years after SISTERHOOD, would Yu Heung Ying and Liew Chi Yu feel awkward because they are already good friends? Yu Heung Ying said, "After becoming familiar the level of trust has increased, which instead helps the characters. We don't need to say too much; even play with a lot of 'hard' stuff that aren't originally in the script, like smelling the other's mouth for bad breath, to add a little more sense of life. Now if we have to play enemies we would still have no problem." She also aid that she was very envious of TangTao's passion scene in the film.

On the other hand, Natalie said at the event the night before that her co-star Tang Tao had many daring scenes in the film, which made her envious. She also said with a smile that she wanted to perform in daring scenes. As for her second Best Actress nomination for the Hong Kong Film Awards for the movie MY FIRST OF MAY (MO MING JI), she admitted that she would face it normally and was honored to be nominated. She pointed out that the other four finalists were all actors she admired. "I have seen their films, and the competition this year is quite big. I never would have guessed that I would be able to sit with them, I am so excited! (Who would be your favorite?) All! Because they are all very different and cannot be compared." She praised Fish for always working hard and deserving of the award more than her. "If she gets it, I would be happier than if I got it."

Yanny Chan Wing Yan after her wedding looked obviously rounder, and she emphasized that she was happy fat. "I am not pregnant, or almost pregnant. I haven't needed supplements yet. Everyone please don't misunderstand, it's from being happy. The climate has been very humid, it's fluid. With the turnip cakes and New Year cakes, it may be a little grease too. I would leave weight loss to fate." Have the elders urged her to have a baby during the Lunar New Year? Chan Wing Yan joked that she was already being asked before she got married. Now she is still passionate about work and would leave having a child to nature.
