Louis Koo Tin Lok two days ago quietly spent his 52nd birthday with his parents. Yesterday he attended many WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) audience appreciation event. At one show, his company colleagues and artist including Philip Keung Ho Man, Chu Kam Yin, ANSONBEAN, Jennifer Yu Heung Ying and Fish Liew Chi Yu and others arrived early on with birthday signs and thunder sticks to celebrate Goo Jai's belated birthday as well as Hak Jai's birthday in advance. Yu Heung Ying even recorded a birthday video for her daughter to give to Goo Jai.

Two days ago the event presented an armor helmet and an armor car cake to Goo Jai and Hak Jai. Everyone sang Happy Birthday as the two birthday boys cut their cakes under the joyous atmosphere; earlier playing Goo Jai's daughter in the film ABERDEEN (HEUNG GONG JAI), child actor Man Kwai presented a small present to Goo Jai.

Koo Tin Lok was a little touched when he said, "Before the show I saw a few people, I just didn't know there would be so many people!" Speaking of his birthday wish, Goo Jai said, "It's still good health, to fight for the future for One Cool!" WARRIORS OF FUTURE's box office has reached HK$ 75 million. He thanked everyone at the company for their years of contribution. Next year would also be "One Cool's" 10th anniversary. He felt rather encouraged by the performance, wished that they would make even more good movies in the next 10 or 20 years and reach even more new heights. With his birthday coming up, Keung Ho Mn wished everyone good health and for WARRIORS to pass 100 million at the box office.

Goo Jai said that recently he has been busy at work, only able to rest on his actual birthday when he stayed home to take a "wooden faced" birthday photo with his parents. However he also had birthday dinners with classmates and colleagues. Due to the pandemic, the company has not held any spring banquet. Next year would be "One Cool's" 10th anniversary, he really wanted to hold a big celebration. However it would still depend on the pandemic prevention measures. What was he the most pleased with over the 10 years? Goo Jai said, "I am the happiest that the company has cultivated many young people, help the next generation with exploring the global film market. WARRIORS OF FUTURE has been rather satisfying, a rare exploration in the science fiction film genre. However this also relied on combined efforts of all the colleagues at the company!"

In addition, Yu Heung Ying and Liew Chi Yu yesterday celebrated their boss Koo Tin Lok's birthday at the cinema like little fans. Yu Heung Yin was very thoughtful, asking her 1 year and 5 month old daughter who is learning to speak to record a video for Goo Jai. At her daughter's 100 day banquet, she once asked Goo Jai if he would be her daughter's god father. Goo Jai at the time joked that he would have to wait until she was a little older. Thus in the video she taught her daughter to say word by word, "Godfather, Happy Birthday!"

Liew Chi Yu joked that she gave her sincerest blessings. "Because Mr. Koo has everything, so when I passed by a temple I would pray for blessing for him!" She revealed that Koo Tin Lok has been her idol since childhood. When she was at home in Malaysia, when she learned that Goo Jai would come to promote she would try anything to see him. She also called a radio station but her call was cut. Finally she was only able to watch from afar at the shopping center. "So now when I am able to see him at close distance at the company, it feels like a dream. Just now when I held the light sign I finally felt like I did it!"

Liew Chi Yu also joked that she has revealed to Goo Jai that she really "likes" him, but he only coolly answered, "I know." Thus if she would be able to make more movies with him she would already be very happy. Would she hope for intimate scenes with Goo Jai? Liew Chi Yu joked, "I don't dare to reach for that yet, my heart would definitely pound. Even if I really want to I wouldn't dare to. Actually being able to work with Koo Tin Lok and Wong Tze Wa, my life is already very perfect. If I ask for more I would have to go to Hollywood. I would like to see Johnny Depp the most!"

In addition, Goo Jai received many well wishes from fans. A child wrote a hand written letter to him. This child was very thoughtful, not only drew a picture but also asked some questions that were very interesting to him. Thus on his birthday Goo Jai called her. "At first her Mama answered the call, when she was done with dinner then she chatted a little. She said Grandma's cooking was very delicious, especially tomato and fried egg. I promised if I would have a chance I would be able to have tea with her, then take her to my toy storage for a visit!"

Yesterday WARRIORS OF FUTURE and TABLE FOR SIX each had a promotional event and was called a face off. Goo Jai said that audience appreciation events mostly took place on the weekend. Recently at the box office these two films were not the only ones that performed well, the entire film industry this year performed well. He hoped that each movie's box office would continue to be good. He was not worried that the new box office record WARRIORS set would be surpassed. He would be happy for any movie that performed well.
