Fresh out of the oven Best Supporting Actress Fish Liew Chi Yu yesterday attended the new film CHEUNG HAU HA 823 YUN JUK SI GEIN (UNDER THE GUN 823 HOSTAGE INCIDENT)'s production start ceremony. Also on hand were Malaysian actor Tong Bing Yu, Helena Law Lan, Don Li Yat Long. The film was based on the "Manila hostage incident" tragedy. A survivor Yik Siu Ling also participated as the film consultant.

Liew Chi Yu said that in December last year she already went to Malaysia for a location shoot and went home to visit her family. She said, "I haven't seen Mommy in over two years. I want to go home without letting her know. I remember when I opened the door, Mommy with a spatula in hand was stunned. Then we both couldn't help but cry, but Mommy was the great pandemic prevention general. Just as I wanted to hug her, she took me to take a shower first. After the shower everyone already calmed down. A touching scene ended just like this." As for working on a movie that would be based on real people and events, Liew Chi yu said that although in the film she would play a fictional reporter, but the director and the screenwriter both showed her the documentary on the incident so she would understand what happened. After watching she felt heavy and uneasy. She even remembered watching the live television broadcast at home in Malaysia back then.

Liew Chi Yu after winning Best Supporting Actress has not held any big celebration yet. She said that she would like to go crazy, but since the award show she had to keep working. She said, "I am grateful to keep working and being able to make money. I really want to celebrate. If I can get two days to sleep and clean up my home that would be the best." Speaking of Best Supporting Actor Mason Fung Ho Yeung's TVB artist training class enrollment becoming the talk of the town, Liew Chi Yu felt that learning would never stop on the journey of acting. "I feel acting is a tall mountain. Although I have acted for over 10 years, I don't dare to say whether I know how to act or not. So I still keep going to classes." Liew Chi Yu believed that with the training class with star instructors like Shaun Tam Chun Yin and Benjamin Yuen Ho Wai, everyone would be an elder for Fung Ho Yeung so the would certainly have a lot of acting experience to share with him. In addition he was still young and had a lot of room for improvement.

Coming from Malaysia like Liew Chi Yu, actor Tong Bing Yu posed for many sexy photos before changing her name. This time she played Yik Siu Ling, putting away her sexiness and speaking with her acting. She hoped to change everyone's existing impression of her. At the same time, Tong Bing Yu praised Yik Su Ling as a very strong and optimistic person. Before the shoot they had exchanges. It was very hard to imagine that she had 33 operations but still remained optimistic. When asked if Tong Bing Yu would like to make Liew Chi Yu her role model and look forward to making the same achievements in Hong Kong, she said, "Of course, Liew Chi Yu is the pride of Malaysia. Her leaving home for 10 years isn't easy at all."
