Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Anson Kong Yip Sun (AK), Chan Ngai Sun (ANSONBEAN) and director Herman Yau Lai To went to the theater the night before to thank the audience for their movie WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR). Brother Tam felt sorry for not being able to attend film festivals in Italy and Singapore with the team, but was happy to learn that the film's overseas responses have been ideal. He hoped that the audience could continue to support the film so the boss would be able to break even. The number of performances of the film in Hong Kong has been reduced one after another, and Brother Tam hoped that the film will attract more people to enter the theater through word of mouth. The reporter suggested that he could book the venue and invite friends in the circle, Brother Tam laughed and said that he has watched it twice and planned to watch it 10 more times. In addition many colleagues also supported him, including his THEMIS co-star Charmaine Sheh Sze Man. He said: "Ah Sheh praised everyone for acting well, and she even secretly took a photo at the theater and passed it on to me. I know she is a well-behaved person."

Going to Italy to participate in the film festival with the director, AK admitted that he felt very good because he saw that the local audience liked Hong Kong film culture and was also a fan of Director Yau. They brought DVDs of the director's past work for him to sign autographs. He said, "When the end credit song rose after the show ended, everyone stood up and applauded Director Yau. It felt very awe inspiring." He thanked fans who resided in Europe for flying to Italy to support the film. ANSONBEAN went to the Singapore Chinese Film Festival with Director Yau, and he was pleased that the audience would appreciate the film carefully and ask very detailed questions. Many of the ideas that he thought only Hong Kong people would understand actually could also resonate with audiences in other places. Some even gave away support items for the film on their own.

ViuTV would remake classic Japanese drama LONG VACATION with Edan Lui Cheuk On in Takuya Kimura's role, which has become a hot topic. In Yutaka Takenouchi's role, Kong Yip Sun said that he has not paid attention to reports and would expect comparison between the original and the remake casts would be inevitable. "I wouldn't pay too much attention to it, I would just do my job and play the character well. I am grateful to be a part of it. I have seen the original and believe that it would be difficult to surpass. I would use my own method to interpret the role anew, without any intention for imitation."

In addition, MIRROR member Keung To recently revealed his academic qualifications at the birthday party and announced that he would not release a new song this year. AK felt that Keung To was already 27 and a big boy, so he must go through considerations for every decision he makes. As the assistant captain he would definitely support any decision a teammate would make. He said, "The only thing we can do is to support him. Since he is able to talk about this decision, he must know what he is facing. Everyone should give him more space and time to adjust." AK said that Keung To did not notify the other members before announcing it, and believed that he has thought for a long time before making a decision. No matter what he has decided to do, AK would definitely support it. As for the issue of academic qualifications and many online comparing the results between MIRROR members. AK said, "It's a part of my history, it is whatever everyone sees. I don't care, no matter what everyone's education is, everyone is doing the same thing now. Academic qualifications are just a thing of the past, we are now in the same group and the same company. Although the salaries are different, but it's that simple." As for Keung To's collapse moment this year, AK believed that he could handle it. He said that Keung To was used to dealing with it alone and would rarely find someone to talk to, so his teammates also respect him. As for Lee Kai Yin's (Ah Mo) father who passed away due to illness a few days ago, AK said that he knew but was not at liberty to comment. He admitted that he would send his condolences to Ah Mo over the air.
