The 27-year-old Taiwanese goddess Mizuki Lin Xiang has gradually become famous in Southeast Asia for her figure. Recently she even announced that she would come to Hong Kong for a film, which will inevitably be compared with Lin Minchen due to her similar background! However, perhaps Lin Minchen's successive negative news has scared her off. Even if the director has thrown an olive branch to her, Lin Xiang still made it clear that she may not go all out to attack Hong Kong in the short term!

Lin Xiang came to Hong Kong earlier for a week for work on her first Hong Kong Lunar New Year QUEEN OF MAHJONG (MA JEUK NUI WONG JUI NAM JAI), which people can't help but speculate that she is very likely to become "Lin Minchen 2.0". Unfortunately the Malaysian goddess Lin Minchen has been in negative news recently, including not admitting her relationship and being named "Liar Chen" because of her absence, etc., resulting in a decline in her image. Li Xiang naturally considered her to be a precedence, in addition she has yet to clearly grasp the secrets of Cantonese. With her contract issues she understood that she could do it all in one step. For the time being, she has not planned to give up her cheerleading team and other jobs. If she would come to Hong Kong to go all out in the film industry, she would have to wait for the right time.

Once selected as one of the "Top 100 Beauties in the World" by an American movie website, Lin Xiang has a bold and intimate personality, talks about everything, and has not been infected with any princess disease at all. Director Patrick Yip Lim Sum revealed that when he invited her to film in Hong Kong this time, he was also impressed by her approachability. "We didn't know each other at all at first. When I sent her a private message through social platforms, she personally replied to me that night. When she flew to Hong Kong to start work, she did all the hair, make up and costume herself!" Director Yip did not shy away from saying that he hoped to sign a contract with her to work together again, but Lin Xiang said frankly, "Making a movie takes a long time. I have other jobs on hand, so I may not be able to free up the schedule!"

Although getting along well with the cast and the crew while working in Hong Kong, Lin Xiang worried very much about the language problem. "I can't communicate well with everyone. I feel that my language skills are super poor, especially Cantonese is very difficult for me. Sometimes I can't make the sounds no matter what, even when I read everyone's lips; because I don't know how to make the sound!" She even revealed related troubles, "When I rehearsed with other actors, I relied on memorizing key Words to pick up their dialogues. Yet on the set they might improvise a little, so I would be stunned on the spot. I only saw everyone looking back at me silently, only then I realized that it was my turn to say my lines."

Speaking of her acting bug, Lin Xiang said that she also likes acting. Yet being a cheerleader for many years has made her weaknesses easily exposed to others. "Because a cheerleader can just always keep smiling, emotions such as sadness and anger are buried. I feel that I sometimes forget these feelings, until recently I relive my previous experiences and try to feel negative emotions again. It also makes me think about whether I can really fully master acting." However, cheerleading, commercial performances and endorsement work have undeniably earned Lin Xiang the "first pot of gold". She generously revealed that she had bought property in Taiwan earlier. "I have my own little nest, but I have not yet been able to move in. The building is under construction, I believe it will take another two or three years!"

Lin Xiang's recent charm has been unstoppable. In addition to the screen, she also attracted fans on the set! Reportedly she partnered with Carlos Chan Ka Lok and DaDa Chan Jing to form a "triangle relationship" in QUEEN OF MAHJONG (MA JEUK NUI WONG JUI NAM JAI). In the story she played the role of a "new actress" who was about to work with the "Super Popular Best Actor" Ka Lok. The film company was afraid that Ka Lok's exaggerated acting skills would scare Lin Xiang away, so they found a "intimacy instructor" Chan Jing to be responsible for communication and coordination between them on the set. In just a few days of cooperation, Ka Lok praised Lin Xiang endlessly and the team also attracted by her personality. The staff could not help but raise their thumbs when they mentioned Lin Xiang.

Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Tony Wu Tsz Tung and others attended the brand launch event the night before. The Fish and Wu Tsz Tung starred Hong Kong-produced film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) received 9 nominations at the Asian Film Awards, making it the most nominated Chinese-language film. Wu Tsz Tung and Fish expressed that they were very happy about the film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN's 9 nominations that made it the most nominated Chinese language film. Fish joked that she had to beg for a role in the sequel and the prequel; Wu Tsz Tung also described that from the start of this fantasy journey in May last year to the filming of the sequel this year, the entire TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN team has been very grateful to director Soi Cheang Pou Soi for his persistence.

Speaking of nomination ballots for the Hong Kong Film Awards earlier, Louis Koo in support of Raymond Lam Fung's Best Actor bid retreated to compete for the supporting actor award. Fish believed that the movie had its own positioning interpretation, and the actors only needed to do their duty; Wu Tsz Tung through the characters in the film joked that it was an adult matter, he as a kid was not at liberty to "chime in". He regarded Koo Tin Lok as half a big boss, and believed that he had his own ideas.

Speaking of the frequent news of the closure of Hong Kong cinemas in recent years, Fish and Wu Tsz Tung had different views. Fish said that the cinema's big screens and surround sound could make the audience feel the charm of movies even more, the feeling was different from watching movies on the phone or the computer. People passed their time before by going out, going to the movies and going out to eat. She hoped that young people would be able to go to the movies. In the future without cinemas, watching movies on the small screen of the computer would be no fun; Wu Tsz Tung feels that not being eliminated was a good thing, because everything in the world was a cycle. With the change and progress of the times, no one could stick to the rules. The ones that were left represented real love for this industry, and the film industry and cinemas will always rise after the low tide. It might be carried out in another form at that time. Starring in the film CESIUM FALLOUT (FUN SING), Jeffrey believed that the box office of Hong Kong films has increased overall last year, and he felt that Hong Kong people were very supportive of Hong Kong films.

Actors Adam Pak Tin Nam, Locker Lam Ka Hei, Mason Fung Ho Yeung along with Lau Kong, who attended his first THE PROSECUTOR audience appreciation event, visited many cinemas and surprised many viewers.

Rarely appeared at audience appreciation events, Lau Kong was popular with the audience. A viewer mentioned the car chase scene in the film when Lau Kong ran under the protection of Yen Chi Tan. The scene required a lot of energy and surprised everyone. Lau Kong said, "Fortunately I have been running normally. Actually this version everyone sees is different from the one we first shot. We were very far away from the car. Mr. Yen discovered that the result was not good. He wanted the thrill of being chased. When we shot up close, I took a look and it is really close. Then I ran faster, so I am really glad that I usually run."

In addition, the film was officially opened in the United States and Canada, and a large number of praise from foreign media immediately came.

[2025.01.11] THE LAST DANCE BREAKS 11 RECORDS

THE LAST DANCE has remained in the top three at the box office since its release for 62 consecutive days

Dayo Wong Tze Wah and Michael Hui Koon Man starred in the Anselm Chan Mou Tin directed and written Emperor Motion Picture THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) has been breaking through at the box office and has been the top three at the box office for 62 consecutive days since its opening last year. It has even broken as many as 11 film records to become the most talked about film in the entire city. Stepping into 2025, THE LAST DANCE continues its moment. Its latest cumulative box office figures in Hong Kong and Macao have exceeded the HK$ 156 million mark! Poised to sweep the awards at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, lead actress Michelle Wai Sze Nga has the best odds to win the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress for the first time.

The Emperor Motion Picture THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK) has stayed in the top three at the box office for 62 consecutive days since its opening on November 9th last year. Playing Michael Hui Koon Man's daughter, Michelle Wai Sze Nga has performed well in the film. Earlier she has already swept many film festivals Best Actress awards, and is regarded as the Best Actress favorite at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards. In the film Wai Sze Nga and Tommy Chu Pak Hong, who played her elder brother, have a major scene that tugs at the heart strings. The team specifically released the production footage of this scene, showing the determination and perseverance of the two in the face of the difficult action of "Breaking Hell".

In order to perfectly present this scene, Wai Sze Nga went through 9 months of high-intensity training beforehand and Chu Pak Hong was no exception. In the days leading up to the shoot, the duo practiced their movements at the funeral hall at almost every break, mastering every detail of the ceremony. On the day of filming, the two communicated frequently with the martial arts instructor and the ritual master. After each shoot, they looked physically and mentally exhausted during the break. The scene was not only mentally but also physically challenging; after all the hard work, the filming was finally completed smoothly, lead actor Dayo Wong Tze Wah and the team applauded thunderously. Witnessing on the set, Catherine Chau Ka Yee was even moved to tears.

Wai Sze Nga also has the breaking hell solo scene. She has to complete the ritual for her loved one with sadness, and even has to challenge the difficult fire basin jump stunt. She lives up to expectations and successfully completes the action, the entire set applauds and she cannot help but excitedly show off her burnt hair. Recalling the shoot that day, Wai Sze Nga emotionally said that after practicing for 9 months, when the shoot finally came she felt like show time. She was excited and a little nervous, but she enjoyed the process more. She also felt that the whole team seemed to be cheering for herself, and felt like a group of friends helping her to do something together and succeeding in the end.

Michael Hui Koon Man and Sean Lau Ching Wan were both nominated for "Best Actor" for THE LAST DANCE and PAPA respectively. Eddie Peng Yu-Yan also competed for best actor with the mainland film BLACK DOG; the "Best Actress" category also has actress Sylvia Chang nominated for DAUGHTER's DAUGHTER.

The Hong Kong actor nominated for Best New Actor is Dylan So Man To of PAPA.

The jury chairman of this year's Asian Film Awards is Hong Kong film Big Brother Big Sammo Hung Kam Bo, who yesterday announced the nominations together with Philip Ng Wan Lung, Kenny Wong Tak Bun, Jennifer Yu Heung Ying, Lin Minchen and "Youth Ambassador" Siuyea Lo Chun Yip. Hung Kam Bo was invited to be the chairman of the jury, he said that he was excited. Because there has been no filming recently, it has been very quiet and he also had great expectations for the Asian Film Awards. He believed that good films could not be lost, and hoped that everyone would be able to maintain the level and culture of film itself. Speaking of the criteria for serving as the chairman of the jury, Hung Kam Bo said that there was no right or wrong way to watch movies, everyone had a different view of art.

Hung Kam Bo's film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS received 9 nominations, of course he wanted the film to win more awards. Yet he was also old friends with other directors, so he would applaud if they win awards. If something he dislike would be chosen he might say, "Something like that won the award!" Speaking of his movie being nominated, would he avoid suspicion as the chairman of the jury? Hung Kam Bo said, "Since I had a part in it of course I would have some ideas, but I don't have to avoid suspicion; because I can win Best Actor just because I want to!" He would have to start watching the nominated films in the future. He said that fortunately he has seen some of the movies before, so he would only need to watch 5 to 6 more films. Physically he should be able to handle it. "This is my favorite job, and also my profession, watching movies is my hobby. Now I am in retreat but not retired, I can find new inspiration to make new films from watching more movies. I still want to win the Best Director and Actor awards." In addition, when asked about Louis Koo Tin Lok's application for Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards and leaving the Best Actor application to Raymond Lam Fung, Hung Kam Bo said that this was the film company's idea and had nothing to do with him. However he was optimistic that Ng Wan Lung would have a chance to win the supporting actor. "He has never won, an action actor is at a little bit of a disadvantage. He should be able to break his bad luck this year!"

In addition, Hung Kam Bo just celebrated his 73rd birthday on the 7th of this month. He said with a smile that being happy every day is equivalent to a birthday, but this year when they went out to eat, his eldest grandson did not let his grandmother pay the bill and fought to pay.

Philip Ng Wan Lung and Siuyea Lo Chun Yip announced the nominations of the 18th Asian Film Awards, he was pleasantly surprised when he heard his own name in the "Best Supporting Actor" category. "I have been in the industry for more than 20 years, the nomination this time is very rare, thank you to TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) for giving me such a good role." When asked about his confidence in winning the award, Ng Wan Lung said that this was not something he predicted , being nominated was already a big surprise. For now he would enjoy this stage. Did he feel like he has made action actors proud? He said, "I don't dare to be a representative, but TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS has this achievement. I hope that I can bring a new trend of action movies. Because in the 80s and 90s of the last century Hong Kong action movies were the strongest, I hope to return to the level of those years." Kenny Wong Tak Bun also has a role in the TWILIGHT, which also had the honor to receive 9 nominations. He wished Ng Wan Lung would be able to win the award. Speaking of the sequel to TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS, Ng Wan Lung heard that the director already has a plan. Wong Tak Bun said that he has not been notified and it would be very difficult to inquire about.

The Emperor Motion Picture THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK)'s latest cumulative box office figures in Hong Kong and Macau exceeded HK$ 156 million, as the momentum continues to soar into 2025! The heat of the film was unstoppable, as THE LAST DANCE received 3 nominations at the "18th Asian Film Awards". Best Supporting Actor nominee Tommy Chu Pak Hong expressed his surprise after receiving the news, thinking that it was a great honor for him. He thanked the on and off camera staff of THE LAST DANCE.

Best Actress Jennifer Yu Heung Ying appeared at the press conference of the "18th Asian Film Awards" yesterday and announced the best actor and actress nominations. Yu Heung Ying pointed out on the online platform at the end of last year that a "little angel" appeared, but "the little angel came and then left again". Yesterday she generously admitted that she had a miscarriage at the beginning of last year. "Looking back on this year (2024) this had to be a major event for me and my family, but everything is fate. It will always remain in my heart, never to be forgotten." Whether it will affect the future fertility, she revealed that she is still very healthy and left everything to fate. Would she stop working if she would be pregnant in the future? "It would also depend on fate. I was working when I was pregnant with two children, so I had to be healthy, maintain the best physical and spiritual condition. I would relax if I am too nervous." she said.

Recently, Lin Minchen was rumored to have a secret meeting with Edan Lui Cheuk On in Paris at the end of last year. Lin Minchen immediately changed the subject to talk about the Asian Film Awards. "I don't want to respond to personal matters." When asked about Edan's career declined due to dating her, she said, "Recently I have been busy flying non-stop between Malaysia, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Today I will fly back to my hometown Penang to promote a Lunar New Year songs, and I will stay at my home in Johor Bahru for the New Year." Would Edan celebrate the New Year with her? She asked everyone to stop asking again, and for everyone to support good movies more.

The 2025 Lunar New Year has three Hong Kong-made films HIT N FUN (LUM SI KUET DAU), MY BEST BET (CHEUNG DOH BIT YANG) and QUEEN OF MAHJONG (MA JEUK NUI WONG JUI NAM JAI). In the Albert Mak Kai Kwong directed, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Gigi Leung Wing Kei, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Louise Wong Dan Nei and others starred Lunar New Year film HIT N FUN, Chau Sau Na played a boxing champion who stole Peter Chan Charm Man from advertising executive Wong Dan Nei. Wong Dan Nei went to Koo Tin Lok's gym to train and challenge her romantic rival, but ran into her professional rival Leung Wing Kei at the gym. Koo Tin Lok was responsible for training them to get into the ring. Gigi played Goo Jai's star wife, responsible for the comedy in the film.

The three female leads, Gigi, Chau Sau Na and Wong Dan Nei had boxing training at the gym to learn boxing before the filming started. Yet Gigi's lessons did not come in handy after learning, as in the film she only had one scene when Tony Wu Tsz Tung hit her. She also found that she was not suitable for fighting. In the film Chau Sau Na and Wong Dan Nei fought the most, did they think they have the talent to become action actresses? Sister Na joked, "Don't ever say that, I usually practice boxing to lose weight and meet guys. This time I practice Muay Thai for the film, without any stunt double or protective padding. I understand the attack power of Muay Thai. Muay Thai will really kill people." At the beginning of the shoot, she pointed out that everyone was afraid that they would hit each other if they did not know how to hold back. Later she felt that it was better to get it over with rather than just focusing on camera angles, so she just fought seriously.

Wong Dan Nei found that Muay Thai required speed, and then angles had to be accurate so that she would not have to shoot too many times due to bad takes. For example when filming a fight scene with Koo Tin Lok, she really confirmed that "long pain is better than short pain". Gigi smiled and pointed to the fact that she was also watching how Koo Tin Lok would fight Wong Dan Nei from the sideline. "Mr. Koo picked up Wong Dan Nei, spun and then slammed her on the ground, I felt the pain just from watching it!" Wong Dan Nei immediately said, "I was really in pain at that time, I was shocked when I was hit the ground. It took a few seconds to recover and get up again." Did Koo Tin Lok apologize immediately? Wong Dan Nei smiled bitterly and said, "Huh? No, as soon as I got up I already said I was fine, but when I landed I felt my internal organs tremble. It took some time for my internal organs to go back in place before I got up again. At that time everyone rushed up, and they were silence from the shock. However when they saw that I tried so hard to get up, everyone clapped their hands and also gave me an encouragement. Everyone was so enthusiastic." Wong Dan Nei was glad that she could still withstand it. Originally she wanted to shoot it again, but the staff said that it was okay. Wong Dan Nei recalled that she took the most beating in the entire film, from Leung Wing Kei, Goo Jai, Wu Tsz Tung and Chau Sau Na. She joked that after the shoot completed she finally understood she had to learn so many fancy styles at the gym before.

Chau Sau Na did not have an easy time either, as she was injured and had to go to the hospital for stitches. Sister Na pointed out that she had an accident on the first day of work, because the scene was not in the ring but a street fight over a guy. "During the shoot I originally had to kick a chair away, but I missed and cut my calf on the chair's metal leg. I was making cool poses in front of the camera, but I was already screaming in pain as soon as the director yelled cut. I saw the bleeding under the knee. At first I thought it was just a scratch. In addition it was the first day of the shoot, so I only briefly treated the would before I continued to shoot; but then as soon as I moved the wound burst open. I only went to the hospital the next day to get 5 stitches." Wong Dan Nei was also frightened by this scene, and immediately took the folding chair away. Yet she has already seen Sister Na bleeding. The two chuckled bitterly as they never thought that they would fight so hard in a Lunar New Year film. Even Gigi praised the two "action actresses" for being tough. Have they been scared away from filming action scenes anymore? Wong Dan Nei said with a smile, "I discover that I have a little 'M base' (masochist), and I am pretty tough. I can kick until my arms and legs were bruised, and I was okay. My husband (Sheldon) Lo Hau Yung jokes that it was time to try sparring with me and test my skills."

Gigi has made many Chinese New Year films. This time she is in charge of the comedy, so Chau Sau Na and Wong Dan Nei were very envious of her and Harriet Yeung Sze Man for not having to fight. Gigi said that she had the difference in age from the two. They would recover very quickly from their injuries; while if she was injured, she would have been admitted to the hospital for more than stitches. Gigi pointed out that in her previous Lunar New Year film CHILLI LAUGH STORY (HOP GA LAT), Ronald Cheng Chung Kei was responsible for being funny. She learned a lot from him, which also came in handy this time. In her Lunar New Year film FAT CHOI SPIRIT (LEK GU LEK GU SUN NIN CHOI) years ago, Gigi had classic scenes. She laughed and said, "This time HIT N FUN will be another classic. My biggest sacrifice would be wrinkles, because I laugh until the wrinkles come out. However I am a star in the film, many looks are very beautiful. I performed with everyone along the lines of the plot, when the emotions swell I naturally 'improvise', make gags, which have quite the chemical effect."

Last year, many Hong Kong films were successful at the box office. Gigi said that she was also confident in the box office of this year's Hong Kong Lunar New Year films. Ultimately the boxing subject and this combination were both fresh, especially the actresses fighting seriously would be entertaining. Gigi worked with Chau Sau Na and Wong Dan Nei for the first time, while Koo Tin Lok has been working with her since 20 years ago. Speaking of the sixth collaboration with Goo Jai, Gigi felt that Goo Jai was serious on the set, so he rarely conversed. At first they only communicates when they rehearsed scenes. "It wasn't until I filmed a crying scene that I felt that Mr. Koo, who played my husband, was also a warm man. He made me feel a warm current, then we studied the script together more." Gigi admitted that this time she had the most communication with Goo Jai. Goo Jai has to be a little funny in the film, but he was so serious in private.

Louis Cheung Kai Chung (Ah Chung), Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin (Ah Sa), Kayan Ng, Tommy Chu Pak Hong and Stanley Yau Si Chun attended the promotional event of the Lunar New Year film MY BEST BET (CHEUNG DOH BIT YANG) the night before, attracted a large number of fans to fill the shopping center. Ah Sa considers chartering a theater to invite friends to watch MY BEST BET. Gillian Chung Yan Tung was accused of becoming fat and dance sloppily. Ah Sa spoke up to defend her, saying that as long as Ah Gil is happy and healthy it is fine.

Ah Sa said that in the film she was the only one who knew how to gamble. A gambling addict, she fell in love with Ah Chung at first sight and got married in a flash. However Ah Chung did not like gambling, so she had to hide her fondness for gambling. Ah Sa said, "When I got the script I thought it was great. I don't like gambling money, but I would a little mahjong. However I am not too familiar with card game, so I have to practice hard." She also revealed that Ah Chung, Chu Pak Hong and Stanley are so funny, often talking nonsense. She said that she planned to charter a venue to invite friends to watch the film, because she shared a group of actor friends with Ah Chung. Ah Sa said that she used to be very afraid of doing a lot of film promotions and audience appreciation events, but this time she very much looked forward to it as she believed she would have a very happy New Year with everyone.

Referring to the Twins' earlier show in the UK, Ah Sa joked that she had "wrap syndrome" after the tour. She end up coughing up phlegm after she attended a New Year and birthday party. Her voice was hoarse but her condition has already improved. Speaking of online criticism that Ah Gil was dancing halfheartedly at the concert and that her body became fat again, Ah Sa defended Ah Gil and said, "Being happy and healthy is fine, right now she is healthy and happy. (Did Ah Gil dance halfheartedly?) She's just tired!" Speaking of the rumor between Ah Gil as for the third party of mainland Internet celebrity Yu Yanlong, Ah Sa said about Ah Gil's love life, "She is a grown person, she knows how to handle it herself. (What about your own love life?) I know what I am doing."

Ah Chung said that he was very happy when the production neared its end. He was a little violent in the later stage, stressed that the new film had something to say, an unique pace and not an imitation of past classic gambling films. This Lunar New Year he will stay in Hong Kong and thank the audience with Ah Sa, because they had a lot of fun with their collaboration. With two more Chinese New Year films to be released this year, would there be any box office pressure? Ah Chung said frankly that it would be best for everyone to do well at the box office, and he would like a crossover audience appreciation event with his boss Louis Koo Tin Lok's new film HIT N FUN (LUM SI KUET DAU).

With a good box office performance would they give any benefit? Ah Chung joked, "Shouldn't the benefits be given to me! The most important thing more box office, but I am confident." Speaking of getting the support of his wife and daughter, Ah Chung joked out that his daughter mainly came to the shopping mall for the toys in the claw machine. He would give his whole wallet for her to use.

In the film Kayan Ng has a crush on Chu Pak Hong and at the same time is Yau Si Chun's crush. In real life she admitted that she wa great at crushes, in secondary school she had a crush on a male classmate for a year without being discovered. Playing a character of Chinese and Korean heritage, Chu Pak Hong admitted that since childhood he often has been mistaken for being Japanese, Korean and Mogolian. "Maybe due to my single eyelids, big bose and protruding cheek bones." Would his resemblance to Korean elevate his relationship luck? Already single for 6 or 7 years, he joked that he wanted to have a romance. After the break up with the third generation millionaire boyfriend Justin Ma Kwai Fung, how was Kayan Ng feeling? She smiled and said, "I feel very OK! (Have you recovered from the heartbreak?) I am better!". She revealed that she and Ma Kwai Fung broke up over incompatible personalities. It was time to go their separate ways and she stressed that the break up was amicable.

Speaking of her dream of marrying rich shattering, Kayan Ng joked, "I feel I am rich myself. I am still young, I just want to date a little."

Referring to the social network video of her hiding under the the table to eat grapes to wish for romance, Kayan Ng explained that it is a Spanish tradition to hide under a table at midnight and eat 12 grapes. She said: "It is rumored that if you don't wear underwear of the same color, you will get what you wish for. I wear yellow underwear, and wish for career and money." Why not wish for romance? Tommy Chu Pak Hong immediately chimed in and joked that he has already answered her prayer and they could start their romance now. Kayan Ng praised him as very suitable, stable, humorous, funny and can act. As for their age gap, Chu Pak Hong joked, "What century is this! As long as we are adults it's fine!"
