The box office of the movie NIGHT KING (YEH ONG) in Hong Kong and Macau exceeded HK$85 million. Director Jack Ng Wai Lun led Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Dee Ho Kai Wah, Sumling Li, Hazel Lam Hei Tung and Angelina Chiu Kwan Yu to the theater yesterday afternoon to thank the audience for their support, handed over the "80 million dollar check" to Sammi in coordination with the plot, cut a cake to celebrate that "Sister V" (Sammi's role in the film) had enough money to buy back the "EJ Nightclub" and be promoted to its boss lady.
Each actor yesterday with the director dressed like "Sister V" for the appearance. Sammi even personally drew a beauty mark with hair near the corners of Ah Dee's and the director's eyes. Sammi said with a smile, "Everyone has their own bright spots If someone says the two of them look like me, don't be dumb. I would still chooses Sumling, she has put some thought into dressing up!" At the scene two female and one male fans dressed up as "Sister V". Sammi evaluated them one by one, but the results were mixed. Sammi could only choose a male fan who caught a plane from Chongqing to come because of his sincerity. "Next time why not dress up as other characters or the director? The director is bald so he wouldn't be hard to dress up as." Someone then shouted "Four sisters take a group photo". Sammi chuckled and said, "Wow, that really hurts my heart!"
Sammi said in an interview that she was happy that the box office of NIGHT KING has been rising steadily and the characters have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so she really wanted to thank the audience for their support. Has the character this time, "Sister V", become her masterpiece as well? Sammi said that she is a singer when she sings. When her role impresses the audience in a movie, the feeling is happy and rare. Because nothing is inevitable, what she got this time is beyond imagination. Regarding the kiss scene between Renci Yeung Sze Wing and Ah Dee being deleted, the director Ng Wai Lun was also criticized and Yeung Sze Wing spoke on behalf of the director. Ng Wai Lun laughed and said that Yeung Sze Wing could be a kindness ambassador, indeed editing due to the runtime was a difficult process. The reporter asked him if he would release an extended version of the movie? He hoped that more audiences would support the film to make box office break 100 million, but it would also depend on the boss' decision. Because there would never be a best version, he thought it would be best to shoot a few more lines of dialogue during filming that day; so whether to release an extended version would depend on the boss' decision.
When thanking the audience yesterday, some fans urged Sammi to hold a concert at Kai Tak Stadium. She smiled and replied that everyone should pay attention, but she did not give an expression. The reporter asked her if she hinted that she would really start a show at Kai Tak this year? She said, "I didn't hint, I said I don't know. You can start saving money, it will be soon! Don't be anxious, but don't ask then don't buy tickets!" Fans strongly supported her and said that however many shows she would perform, they would watch. She said with a smile, "Then watch NIGHT KING a few more times first!" Would she ask her group of partners in the film to sing on stage? She said that she would ask Sumling to dance, Ah Dee would be in charge of rapping songs, and a group of "EJ" sisters singing on stage would be like the STAR SHOW LEGEND lyrics, everyone is a superstar. It would be very touching.
In addition, regarding director Ng Wai Lun's intention to start filming a zombie movie with the original team, Dayo Wong Tze Wah once said that he really wanted to be bitten by zombies. Ng Wai Lun laughed and said that he would always want to trick Tze Wah once, so he would arrange for him to become a zombie after being bitten. He was only afraid that he would not be willing to play the role. Ah Dee joked that he has been a "zombie" for decades, because he looked like one after he got up every day to find breakfast. Sumling also joked that after she removed her makeup she would be a zombie, so she would not need hair and makeup then and save some money. Also Sean Lau Ching Wan joked that he was envious of Wong Tze Wah for making a movie surrounded by many women, Ng Wai Lun laughed and pointed out that he could start a movie about a women's prison and arrange for Ching Wan to play a justice of the peace to help female prisoners appeal but the prisoners held his hostage, then he would be able to stay in prison for a long time; or a zombie movie would take place in a women's prison. Sammi revealed at this time that she turned out to be a loyal fan of zombie movies and often binged zombie movies. Speaking of playing a zombie and running around, would she be afraid of the hard work? Sammi said with a smile, "I exercise a lot. I have to run around, and I have to bite around! I won't play the prison warrant, I want to play a basic character. I don't mind playing a zombie, running around and biting people. I think it would be a lot of fun."
