New actor Henick Chou Hon Ning and producer Saville Chan Sum Yiu yesterday promoted their film A LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT (DUN FOR LAN SHAN). The film's lead actress was Sylvia Chang. Chan Sum Yiu pointed out that inviting Sylvia Chang to perform was not easy at all. he praised her as the "ceiling of show business". As for successfully getting Sylvia Chang, Chan Sum Yiu said that mainly he relied on the script and the story to move her. "Because Sister Chang really likes old Hong Kong, she feels that both neon lights and film are works of art. To be able to invite her is quite a honor." He also joked that although Sister Chang did not put on air, she had a presence. While working with her, he was always anxious.

Chou Hon Ning was already able to work with Sister Chang in his first film. He also admitted that at first he was nervous and scared when facing Sister Chang, but after working together he felt that Sister Chang was great. She did not treat him as a new actor. Everyone would always chat and laugh and the collaboration was very pleasant. The most memorable was a scene in which he wore a white tank top. "I really want to see it, before the shoot I did push ups. I even asked Sister Chang was I big? She ended up rolling her eyes. Later I found out that Sister Chang worked with (Eddie) Peng Yu-Yan in the previous film. The contrast was too much." Chou Hon Ning revealed that he worked out for the performance, but he already lost everything.

Chan Sum Yiu said that as usual, the casting was through auditions. this time was not exception. He also revealed that Chou Hon Ning brought props with him to the audition, which was also their first meeting.

The film earlier held its premiere. Chou Hon Ning described it like a graduation ceremony, because the film after two or three years was finally released. Was he confident about the Hong Kong Film Award Best New Performer competition? He said, "Having my name up there I am already very happy . I feel others also performed very well." He also said that he grew up watching the Hong Kong Film Awards. He never thought that he would be able to stand on the stage. He even has thought about his thank you speech.

Chan Sum Yiu admitted that selfishly he wanted Chou Hon Ning to win. He also revealed that Chou while on the red carpet for the film was so nervous that he stepped on the director's dress.
