Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Chung Suet Ying, directors Norris Wong Yi Lam and Wong Hoi yesterday went to the cinema for the film GOOD TRIP (NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG)'s opening week audience appreciation events. Ka Fai expected to visit more than 10 shows and was happy to see that many viewers were teary eyed from watching, which proved that the film was successful. As for yesterday afternoon the film has collected HK$ 4.5 million at the box office, and the team put their hands together to thank the audience. Ka Fai earlier has already watched the film with his wife Esther Kwan Wing Ho, and each of them used two pieces of tissue.

Yoyo Mung Ka Wai's alleged use of foul language at the premiere, fortunately Ka Fai spoke up to make the save and was unanimously praised online for his fast thinking. Ka Fai said, "We are a team, actually when I got home I myself have practiced. It is indeed easy to say wrong." Ka Fai said that Yoyo was very fun, but when he worked with her before he did not notice. While working on THE TEACHER WITHOUT CHALK (LAU MUN SI BIU) because they did not have many scenes together, he did not know that her relaxed pronunciation. As for whether Ka Fai will open a social account for the film character and interact online, he joked that he would listen to the director's instructions. The role just happened to also be called "Ah Keung."

Cheung Ka Fai also revealed that he paid attention to the online reviews. "For now they have been quite positive, and most of my performances in the past were criticized." Regarding his godfather Bowie Wu Fung (Brother Sau) also attending the show, Ka Fai said, "I took him to watch it. The most surprising is that he told me that he has learned something, I do not know whether that is true or false. I don't know if he has learned the directors' skills, or my type of acting, but I believe what he says." Wu Fung said after watching the 800 out of 100 shots had Cheung Ka Fai in them. He joked, "So I told him he was distracted while watching the movie! However don't think that at his age he would be slow to react, he wouldn't be fake at all. Everything he says is true." He said that Jacky Cheung Hok Yau constantly watches movies, but he did not know whether he would go to support the film at the cinema.

Ka Fai also said that a few days ago, he has brought his wife Kwan Wing Ho to watch the film. He has already prepared tissue, but finally each used only two. He also joked that due to the dark theater environment, his wife after crying did not need to fix her make up. "Actually I have been holding back, wiping my noise at the theater would be very distracting. My wife has praised that the movie would make people cry, and praised Ah Suet (Chung Suet Ying) for performing well. She just didn't praise me." Cheung Ka Fai saw some viewers were still wiping their noses and heard several viewers say that since their Papa passed they were particularly moved. He said, "Everyone seems to be trying to get warm around the fire. If after watching you have a little release, believe that your soul has a little comfort, those are all good things. Of course once out of the cinema you shouldn't be like this. I once again thank everyone for being invested in the movie while watching." Ka Fai said that his daughter has not yet watched it in Hong Kong. Does his wife have the acting bug now? He said, "A lot of people say I'm 'imprisoning' her, hurry up and let her out. Actually every year and a half I would ask her, but she said that she no longer had it."

A viewer asked about his image concept in the film. Cheung Ka Fai first thanked the two directors for their support, saying that he wanted to have different image for every film he made so he would be able to differentiate between them. He did not want every movie to be similar. When reaching a certain age in acting, he needed to change or break through. Otherwise he could edit all the movie he has made over the years into one. This time working with new style young directors, he experienced different ideas and skills and wanted to continue to support the.
