Director Fruit Chan Gor yesterday spoke about his film THE MIDNIGHT AFTER (NA YEH LING SUN, NGOR JOR SEUNG LIU WONG GOK HOI WONG DAI PO DIK HUNG VAN), which was rumored to originally want Isabella Leong Lok Si for the role of Yuki. Now Janice Man Wing Shan plays the character. Chan Gor said,"The producer originally wanted to ask Leong Lok Si because the commercial film needed news figure to create a buzz, but in the end she turned it down. Maybe because at the time it was just a novel and not a script yet, she thought it was too long and didn't want to read it! Haha!"

Chan Gor admitted that of course he was unhappy about unable to work with Leong Lok Si, because she had an aura and was refreshing. "After (Cecilia) Cheung Pak Chi, she has the most chance to be a top actress." How did Leong Lok Si and JM compare in terms of acting? He said everyone had a different effect and no comparison was needed. He praised JM's performance for its drastic improvement and full of a sense of comedy.
