The film AFTERPIECE (DAI SEI MOK) yesterday held a charity screening at the Academy of Performing Arts, producer Derek Yee Tung Sing, actors Stephen Fung Tak Lun, Myolie Wu Hung Yi, Chrissie Chau Sau Na (Sister Na), Yeung Wai Lun, etc. attended.

Wu Hung Yi has worked with Yee Tung Sing on the mainland variety show "EVERYBODY STAND BY 2", and this time he again invited her to perform. Hung Yi joked that he probably asked her because her age was appropriate for the role, but this time was a true nature performance as she played the actress in the film. She also strove to improve. She pointed out that the character was strong, and was a good partner once with Fung Tak Lun but in the end he chose Chau Sau Na, who was gentler than her, to be his wife. Was Sister Na playing the third party in the film? She said, "When everyone started I discussed with the director whether the role was a mistress, (do you resist playing a mistress?) I must ask clearly about the relationship with the co-stars, and I must also be more familiar with Hung Yi. We are good friends in the film, otherwise she would get star treatment. We must understand clearly. I don't mind playing a mistress, a relationship should be a problem between the two sides, not just relying on one person to clarify. After the film I am no longer that role."

Hung Yi said that she was also a value actor, her salary was not expensive at all. With a good script and a good role, she would not mind a salary reduction to perform. "I just enrolled in the Academy of Performing Arts drama master's program, I also work on student films for free, it's for art!" Sister Na also agreed, "It really depends on the script and the role. If you get paid a lot of money but you can't perform well, you would have a lot of pressure. That's even worse." Hung Yi said that she would return to school this time to take a three-year master's program and take classes three days a week, so her workload will be reduced at her discretion and the performance in the mainland will also accommodate the schedule. Would she "FIGHT BACK TO SCHOOL" (truancy)? She said bitterly, "I already missed class 3 times, for a quarter I can only miss 3. From now on I can't be truant, I would have to wait for next year. However I did it for work, not for fun." Hung Yi admitted that people in middle age really want to have the opportunity to study, but she also hopes that she could become an example of the three children in the family. Her husband was afraid that she would become a monster, being too busy would be very crazy. She in turn told her husband to rest assured. "I say I try not to be crazy, I will be happy to go back to school, raise children and make films!" Sister Na also immediately said that she admired Hung Yi. "Outside of working hard she is also a Mommy. she has to be 24 hours non stop. She is not to take care of just one child, but three. She even goes to school to set an example, so I have to admire her energy, I have always wanted that!" Would Sister Na want to have kids or study? She smiled and said, "I want to study, before I can have a child I have to find someone!" She said that she would let finding someone to fate as she was not in a hurry.

Speaking of the film's lead actress Yuen Lai Lam not appearing yesterday, co-star Yeung Wai Lun said that Yuen Lai Lam was overseas and unable to attend due to another job. Regarding Yuen Lai Lam's numerous public discussions about her experience of being sexually harassed, Yeung Wai Lun felt that she handled it very well, clearly expressed her meaning on the incident in an orderly fashion. No one needed to continue on. Fung Tak Lun also paid attention to the relevant events, in which Yuen Lai Lam has mentioned the matter of being forcibly kissed by an elder. Fung Tak Lun thought that the person involved would have to be asked about this. He has been in the industry for many years and has also seen from the observation these situations, they would be more serious with women. In this era it would not only occur in the entertainment circle. Now when the film was being made, the production highlight would also be filmed simultaneously to reduce the chance of incidents. He also admitted that he has heard of some of the hidden rules of the entertainment industry, but he has not encountered them as they occurred less to men.

As the film is about to be released, Yuen Lai Lam broke out that she has been sexually harassed and attracted the attention of the outside world. Would she also promoting for the film? Both Fung Tak Lun and Yeung Wai Lun believed that it would never be for the sake of film publicity. Fung Tak Lun said, "She spoke out bravely about her personal experience, which was a good thing." How would the director deal with similar incidents? Fung Tak Lun said that this incident brought out a message, the people who were harassed should not keep it to themselves. They should be dealt with in real time. With so many people on the set, they should speak out so everyone would get justice together.

Stephen earlier said that he was "jealous" of Yeung Wai Lun for his Golden Horse Award nomination for "Best Actor". He joked, "If he would win the Golden Horse actor, he would have seniority over me." Yee Tung Sing even humbly said that he was a Yeung Wai Lun fans, which made Yeung Wai Lun feel flattered.

In addition, the Yeung Wai Lun and Chung Suet Ying starred WE ARE BORN GOOD (SIN NAM SHUN NUI) was introduced as an "erotic performance", which greatly upset Chung Suet Ying. Yeung Wai Lun said that the film had nothing to do with pornography, felt that she expressed very clearly; the person involved has also understood her meaning and communicated, pointing out that he originally intended to promote the film.

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.

The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts held a ceremony yesterday to honor the honorary doctorates and honorary fellows, and awarded the honorary titles to 6 outstanding people in recognition of their outstanding achievements in the arts and culture industry. They are Tsui Hark, who was awarded honorary doctorates of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts; Stanley Kwan Kam Peng, Mo Yu Tin (Sun Kim Long), Yang Yuntao, Yu Yan Wah and Flora Yu Kit Yee, who were awarded honorary fellows of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts. Brigitte Lin (Lam Ching Ha) personally arrived to witness the honorary moment of his friend Tsui Hark.

The ceremony was officiated by Professor Symon Wong Yu Ming, the Academy Council Chairman, and Professor Anna Chan Chung Ying, Director. First, five honorary fellows were awarded to Kwan Kam Peng, Sun Kim Long, Yang Yuntao, Yu Yan Wah and Yu Kit Yee, and then the honorary doctorate was awarded to Tsui Hark.

Tsui Hark was praised by Director Chan as one of the most influential and visionary filmmakers in contemporary cinema in Hong Kong, playing a pivotal role in Hong Kong's film going to the world stage. As a director, producer, screenwriter and film creative pioneer, Tsui Hark has profoundly shaped the artistic landscape of Hong Kong film and established its international position. His work has expanded the artistic boundaries of action films and inspired countless creators around the world. Tsui Hark went to the United States to study films in the late 1960s, returned to Hong Kong in 1977 to enter television production, and first directed the film THE BUTTERFLY MURDER (DIP BIN) in 1979. In the 1980s, Tsui Hark has become a pioneer in the creative and production mode of the film, and has successively produced classic works such as ZU: WARRIORS FROM THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN (SUN SHOOK SHAN GIM HUP), A BETTER TOMORROW (YING HUNG BOON SIK), A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SIN NUI YAU WAN), SHANGHAI BLUES (SEUNG HOI JI YEH), PEKING OPERA BLUES (DOH MA DAN), ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA (WONG FEI HUNG). At any time of evolution, Tsui Hark is committed to expanding the possibilities of film technology and narrative, and has used digital special effects and stereoscopic film technology to promote the development of three- dimensional production of Chinese-language films, representing the works of THE FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE (LUNG MOON FEI GAP), THE TAKING OF TIGER MOUNTAIN (JI CHUI WAI FU SHAN). Tsui Hark, who has been in the film industry for more than 40 years, has continued to expand the boundaries of the film language and actively supported the development of younger generations, which has a profound impact on the development of mainland China, Hong Kong, China and the global film industry.

Kwan Kam Peng, who was praised by Dr. Terry Lam Kwan Sing, Dean of the School of Film and Television, as an outstanding Hong Kong director, producer and educator, reflecting the long-term development of Chinese-speaking film and performing arts education. In 1976, Kwan Kam Peng, who participated in the TVB Performing Arts Training Course, started by production assistant and first directed the feature film WOMEN (NUI YUN SUM), after which many of his works included ROUGE (YIN JI KAU), FULL MOON IN NEW YORK (YUN JOI NAU YUEK), CENTER STAGE (YUEN LING YUK) and RED ROSE WHITE ROSE (HUNG MUI GWAI BAK MUI GWAI) have laid his international reputation. He has been committed to training a new generation of talent, from time to time with industry insiders to teach director and screenwriters, to provide his own film as a case study screening, and to share his personal experience in filmmaking, creative decision-making and directory with the younger generation.

Sun Kim Long was praised by Professor Martin Lau Kwok Ying, Dean of the School of Chinese Opera. After more than 50 years in the art world, he has been a well-known Cantonese opera performer, producer, playwright and educator. He has been committed to the creation and education promotion of Cantonese opera for many years. He has successively created two major theatre companies, such as "New Phoenix" and "New Glory", recording many classic golden melodies and personally writing famous operas like REUNION AT THE LOTUS POND, THE JADE HAIRPIN, and A LOVE POEM STAINED WITH BLOOD and leaving Cantonese Opera with countless treasure. Sun Kim Long is committed to promoting cultural heritage, visiting the campus for more than 20 years to promote art education, and actively cultivating art talents, so that traditional art can be passed on and sustainable development.

In addition, the two dancers, Yang Yuntao and Yu Yan Wah, were praised by Professor Ou Lu, Dean of the School of Dance, and Professor Stella Lau Yin Ling, Senior Lecturer (Ballet) in the School of Dance; while Yu Kit Yee, an art administrative officer, was read by Professor Chan Chung Ying, Director of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts.

In an interview, Kwan Kam Peng was humbled by the honorary fellowship, saying that he did not deserve it because film productions have always only be what he liked to do and was lucky to have the opportunity to complete the work. Looking back at nearly half a century of film career, Kwan Kam Peng is very lucky, and has had the privilege of following a number of outstanding famous directors while working on television, and now it is his turn to teach film courses at the City University of Hong Kong, teaching two electives for writers and directors. He said, "From the time I have had the honor of learning from famous directors like (Ann) Hui On Wa, (Patrick) Tam Ka Ming and (Dennis) Yu Wan Kong over 40 years ago at TVB, to now teaching in the university, it is a kind of film spirit inheritance and extension. I am grateful for following this group of excellent director in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I think it's also the passing of the torch and a kind of legacy."

Kwan Kam Peng recalled that after graduating from the performing arts training course in 1976, he has been in the industry for 50 years; the happiest of which is to be able to collaborate with the male and female actors he greatly admires, including Anita Mui Yim Fong, Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Chow Yun Fat, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling) and Sammi Cheng Sau Man. The most memorable must be the two superstars Mui Yim Fong (Ah Mui) and Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing (Gor Gor)'s passing in succession. He said, "Ah Mui, Gor Gor and I were originally talking about a new project. They have all agreeed to perform, but unfortunately in the end both passed away. The project has been permanently put on hold." For some people who hope to remake the classic film ROUGE, Kwan Kam Peng said categorically that he would not. "Where would you find another Mui Yim Fong and Cheung Kwok Wing for me? I wouldn't consider about remaking this movie that so many people want to see." Kwan Kam Peng said that if other directors are interested in remaking it, they are welcome to find the right actors to play "Yu Fa" and "Sam Yi Siu". He will never touch the script again. As for the theft of Mui Yim Fong's ashes, he helplessly said, "I really don't understand, I couldn't say anything about it neither."

Regarding the future work plan, in addition to teaching, Kwan Kam Peng is also busy preparing a new film adapted from a novel that is based on the relationship between mother and daughter. He plans to use the 3-month period of school summer vacation in 2027 on the production, which is currently in the stage of script revision. The cast has not yet been implemented. Kwan Kam Peng has been helping new directors as a producer in recent years. He especially appreciated the director Sasha Chuk Chi Ngan, as well as the actors Wu Kang-Ren, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Angela Yuen Lai Lam, etc., and thought that their performance was also remarkable. Has he noticed Yuen Lai Lam's alleged sexual harassment incident? He said that he has not so he was not at liberty to respond. As for the current physical condition of Kwan Kam Peng, he said that he was quite good. Although he has slight discomfort in his hand, it was only because of exercise. He joked, "I have to stay healthy, or I won't be able to carry a 180 pound body around to make a film."

Tsui Hark recently attended the Lumiere Film Festival in France, where his four films, SHANGHAI BLUES, PEKING OPERA BLUES, ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA and TIME AND TIDE (SHUN LAU YIK LAU), were scheduled to be screened and he felt honored. In an interview with European media, he said that looking back at his works made decades ago, those days felt very distant but now suddenly reappeared, making it feel as if time had never passed. Walking into the theater and seeing the old works still loved by audiences was a wonderful feeling. He spoke about his late best partner Shi Nansun, saying the films reminded him of many colleagues he once worked shoulder to shoulder with; especially missing Shi Nansun, who devoted years of dedication to the Film Workshop.

When asked about many people worrying about the future of film and the entire art field, especially the development of artificial intelligence (AI), would he be worried? Tsui Hark said the essence of human nature is the fear of being replaced by something. This fear, whether in relationships, career, economics, or understanding of 'freedom', makes it impossible to predict which direction the future will lead. He said that at this age, he always feels like he does not have much time left to worry about the future, but he still hopes things would not get worse. He wants to stay optimistic. The world is chaotic, but at least he can do one thing: guide everyone to focus on the better side of human nature, remind each other to enjoy life and human creativity. Film is a great entry point.

Nick Cheung Kai Fai, Yoyo Mung Ka Wai, Chung Suet Ying, Philip Keung Ho Man (Hak Jai), Yeung Nga Man (THAIMAY), Stanley Yau Sze Chung and others actor, along with producer Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting and directors Norris Wong Yi Lam and Wong Hoi two nights ago attended the GOOD TRIP (NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG)'s premiere. Cheung Ka Fai praised the film for adding fantastic elements, connecting the reality of the hospital bed with the perspective of fantasy, forming a unique creative framework, with a novel skill it did not make the subject matter will not be "outdated" but also become fresh and rich with high resonance; Mung Ka Wai recognized and said that the film could comfort many Hong Kong people.

Ka Fai was very excited to work with two old friends Mung Ka Wai and Hak Jai. Ka Fai stated that although they did not often see each other, once in the production condition they naturally had chemistry. Ka Fai's performance this year has been praised online as the mature version of HE IS MY ENEMY, PARTNER AND FATHER-IN-LAW (FA GWUT LUNG YU CHIN NIN CHUNG), the story has comforted many Hong Kong people who could relate to it. Hak Jai said that he would occasionally attend film festivals and productions with Ka Fai, but recently he had a reaction to seafood; Mung Ka Wai said that if someone would invite her to make a film, she would be happy to perform. Would director and star Ka Fai direct a comedy and work with two old friends? He and Hak Jai immediately offered the "organizer" job to each other. After awhile, Ka Fai felt that a professional director would be even more suitable. He even praised Hak Jai and Yung Ka Wai as smart people, while making fun of himself as "not all that sharp."

Ka Fai said that he was looking forward to enjoying the film. "Let's see if this movie can get me in tears. Because I am a little shocked to see the comments on the Internet, everyone's recognition of this film is high. In fact, I know what the film wants to express while the shoot went on, because I can't see so many detailed positions in the script alone, and the director is really a bit powerful." Having seen the movie Hak Jai said that he really can (make Ka Fai cry); Mung Ka Wai said that in addition to inviting her husband Ekin Cheng to enjoy it, she also called on everyone to bring a tissue and cosmetics to the show. After the three revealed that they would start the "run to shows to thank the audience", Mung Ka Fai shared happily, "Actually thanking the audience is a lot of fun, there was no such thing as audience appreciation events in the previous years."

Chung Suet Ying has been nominated for the Golden Horse Awards Best Actress again with WE ARE BORN GOOD (SIN NAM SHUN NUI) but she has not thought about whether she would. Instead she was full of confidence in her co-star Alan Yeung Wai Lun winning the Golden Horse Best Actor. She on the social platform expressed dissatisfaction with an article that refers to her film WE ARE BORN GOOD as a rare "erotic performance". She explained, "The film originally didn't have such content or meaning. Thank you to every media friend who is helping to promote from their own perspective, but this angle doesn't match the film. Any level of misleading the audience wouldn't be good." She said that she was not angry, but she was someone with clear boundaries. She only thought that everyone should be responsible for what they do, and she wanted to tell everyone her acceptance level and looked forward to others would make changes while expressing their opinions. Then communication would be fine. Although this time was not a big incident, but the content of the article and the film facts did not match. So she fought back, as she did not want to mislead the audience. As for Angela Yuen Lai Lam also posted that she had been sexually harassed by words, Chung Suet Ying said that she has not encountered the similar situation, but thought that she should speak up when she would run into something that she was uncomfortable with. Playing Chung Suet Ying's parents in the film, Ka Fai and Yung Ka Wai thought that "daughter" was a big girl and shape. She would know how to deal with it. THAIMAY also has ever encountered any sexual harassment incident. She joked that sometimes she would carelessly harass others. Cheung Yuen Ting said that originally she and boyfriend Alex Law Kai Yui would have jointly produced the film, but he passed away while the film was under preparation and she had to hold down the fort alone.

In addition, Stanley perhaps did not want to "steal the focus". After the completion of the event he posted a wedding photo on the social media platform, announcing that he and his fiancée Alina Lee Yan Yi have officially signed the paper to become a legal couple and the first person to wed in MIRROR. He received well wishes from many people in the circle.

The Andy Lau Tak Wa invested and produced film TIME TO GO HOME (GUAN YU NA JET WU GUAI DIK GOO SI) yesterday held a production start ceremony. The boss Wa Jai and a group of actors including director Herman Yau Lai To, actor Kitty Yuen Siu Yee, Lokman Yeung, Leung Chung Hang, Joe Wong Yiu Cho, Melody Yuen Wan Shan, Simon Ngai Ping Long, Grace Wu Lai Ying attended and together with incense prayed for a smooth shoot. The film would adapt the stage story for the big screen, the most important character of the big tortoise also went from the prop tortoise into the real tortoise actor. "Siu Luk" only had his eyes on the potato leaves and hibiscus, and the actors joked that they seemed to be enjoying the "plucking the greens" ceremony. Playing the pet psychic in the film, Leung Chung Hang "spoke" on behalf of "Siu Luk". "It says that it wishes for good luck for the new film's production start and for the film to be a big hit." Wa Jai joked that the highest film salary goes to the big tortoise. "The contract is very spicy and the salary is extremely high." Yet seeing how much attention it got, he knew it would be well worth the price of admission. The actors chimed in, "Seeing Siu Luk eat, you know he takes a big bite." As for whether Wa Jai would make a guest appearance, he joked that he would become the highest paid actor as soon as he would appear. Everyone pointed out that the boss should not take a salary. Wa Jai joked, "I have to invest my money but I don't get paid?" Finally Siu Yee roused him into promising to perform, and even said that he would have scenes with every actor in the film. With Siu Yee as the lead actress, was he worried about the box office? Wa Jai joked that he was afraid and Siu Yee was a little too. She said that she has not made a Lunar New Year for a very long time, before she has guest starred with Sammy. She could only hypnotize herself into thinking that she was not the lead, because all 7 in the film were leads. In addition "Siu Luk's" role would be very even.

Wa Jai said that when he first enjoyed the play, by the time he saw half of it and already knew that it had to be made into a movie. "During this period I had some hesitation, I never expect to be able to persist until now, with the mentality of shoot first and worry later. I never even think that it would become the Lunar New Year film." Wa Jai laughed and said that the film investment has no upper limit. Yau Lai To immediately said that he was a famous "big spender" director. He said that he would continue to use all the actors from the stage, and would also add a small number of new characters. Director Yau with WE'RE NOTHING AT ALL (NGOR MOON BUT SI SUP MOR) was nominated for the Golden Horse Awards Best Director. He was happy about it, but because he would be busy with film production he has not yet celebrated. "For this rare occasion that Wa Jai doesn't need to make shoot fighting and killing scenes, I of course couldn't spit out what was in my mouth fast enough to agree." The story of the play was related to Cheung Pak Chi's song ANY WEATHER. Referring to the play's run, the group of actors had publicly expressed the hope that Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi would be present to enjoy it but unfortunately it never happened. Would the movie invite Cheung Pak Chi? Director Yau kept playing mysterious.

Writer and actor Yuen Wan Shan admitted that when she first received the news of the film, she thought that it was an online fraud. She was not certain until she went to Wa Jai's office and saw him in person. "I didn't dare to believe it at all, until I saw him at the office and couldn't help but screamed, 'LAU TAK WAH!'" Wong Yiu Cho also revealed that at first when Wa Jai came to watch the play and said that he wanted to invest in making it into a movie, everyone thought that he as joking. "The whole thing is very unreal, especially when Wa Jai said that he would use the stage cast for a Lunar New Year film." Lokman also said that when he received the initial message, he went "Uh", convinced that it was the power brought by the tortoise. He proposed for Wa Jai to make a guest appearance and dance with each actor, and Lokman said that he can help with the choreography. Ngai Ping Long once worried, "The story is about soul return, is it truly suitable for the Lunar New Year?" His co-stars felt that there was no taboo, and the most important would be for it to be fun for the whole family. Would Leung Chung Hang and Wong Yiu Cho's relationship be even more extreme than the play? Lau Tak Wa said, "No, they privately would but I am rather old fashioned."

Sammy was the production start ceremony host, but would not offer his services to guest star. He excels in comedy and would save the touching story for Siu Yee. He said, "Many years ago I have already suggested for Siu Yee to focus on her acting job. LOVE AS A PREDATORY AFFAIR, the TVB series she and King Kong Lee starred in, reached 30 some points at its rating peak." He and Siu Yee have collaborated countless times. Recently she became a bank commercial spokesperson, and he felt that her luck has been even better after marriage. Her play was a hit and she was the lead in the movie. Earlier he has heard Master So Man Fung said that Siu Yee would be lucky for her husband. Has he regretted not picking Siu Yee first? He joked that his wife is also lucky for her husband and pretty. Seeing his children already grown, he planned to make a long vacation within 5 years. Would he quit his radio station job? He said that he did not know yet. He hoped to have changes in life. 5 years later when his daughter would graduate, the weight would be off for him.

When police officer Huang Ming investigates a series of suspicious "accidents," he repeatedly encounters her at the scenes.
