The Ringo Lam Lan Tung written and directed new film HUSTLE (MAI SING) yesterday held a production start event in Tsim Sha Tsui. Actors Louis Koo Tin Lok, Joseph Chang Hau Chuen, Shawn Yue Man Lok, Tong Liya, Yuen Qiu, Jack Kao, Philip Keung Ho Man and Philip Ng Won Lung attended. Yesterday the director's past work was shown, his films excelled in action and car chases. Goo Jai joked that without looking at the screen, the scenes already sounded powerful. He said that this time MAI SING is the same way, with all its bangs and booms. Goo Jai said that two nights ago drove a speed boat in a scene and almost had an accident. Because the speed boat was really fast, when he drove even the steering wheel flew off. It did not stop until it hit another boat, but he and Shawn Yue Man Lok both suffered leg injuries. Was Goo Jai very worried at the time? He said that at the time he only thought about his lead actress, he was more concerned with the safety of the girls.

Tong Liya pointed out that Goo Jai said that the director was very mean and told her to be careful. Goo Jai jokingly took a jab back at Tong Liya and called her crazy, the director was such a nice guy and he has never said that. Tong Liya said, "I was nervous myself, as soon as I saw the director I was scared." Did Tong Liya have any action scene in the film? She said that she ran and took a lot of beating in the film. She said, "Luckily I have the two leads' protection. Goo Jai was injured because of this."

Yue Man Lok said that he has always wanted to work with the director. This time he finally had the chance. He said that the director actually was not making an action film but a documentary. He said, "Because the director wants to use real blades in an attack scene." Yue Man Lok's mother yesterday had surgery. Lok Jai thanked everyone for their concern. He said that his mother had a heart problem but she was fine. He said that his mother's operation has been completed and later he would visit her. Chang Hau Chuen worked with Lam Lan Tung for the first time. He said that on the first day of the shoot they originally agreed to use prop weapons, later the director asked if he could use a real blade. At first he thought the director was joking. He said, "I really was scared to death, but the team have taken all the safety precautions."
