The 47th Hong Kong International Film Festival officially closed last night at the Cultural Center with the world premiere of the Louis Koo Tin Lok starred VITAL SIGN (SUNG YUEN TOH JUNG). The Hong Kong International Film Festival CEO Albert Lee said that the 48th Hong Kong International Film Festival has been tentatively scheduled to take place between March 28th and April 8th, and would still run over 12 days. He continued, "The film festival's Cine Fan event would hold a Jean-Luc Godard retrospective in May, June and July as a tribute to the master who passed away last year. The Summer International Film Festival that was cancelled last year would return this year."

Koo Tin Lok, Angela Yuen Lai Lam, Tony Wu Tsz Tung and VITAL SIGN's executive producer Lau Chan Hoi Wan (Kimbee) last night attended the film's world premiere. Goo Jai said that in the film he played a emergency medical team captain, before hand he had to learn the basic first aid knowledge. The film mainly would be about how to handle several large scale accident. He also said that after the pandemic he wanted to make more therapeutic movies. Goo Jai said that VITAL SIGN would be the first, and the others were under preparation. "The most important is how to calmly handle and evaluate (the situation). Being able to bring viewers the therapeutic feeling is very important, especially during the pandemic. Everyone was wearing a mask. Lately I began to come in contact with music therapy. (Because of a lot of pressure?) I just want to study whether I could turn this into the subject of the next movie!" As for Kimbee wanting play the fat housewife role, Goo Jai reacted after hearing that, "No way! Let me arrange the character for her, but it won't be the fat housewife. Let's see what she would want to play, let me think about it."

Recently Goo Jai with WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) won the Huading Awards "Chinese film Best Actor". Goo Jai said that he was very happy. "I never thought that I would be able to win Best Actor with a science fiction film, the feeling is a little hard to describe. Thank you everyone for your support. I also hope that Hong Kong in the future would be able to make even more different types of movies."

VITAL's executive producer Kimbee revealed on behalf of the Joseph Lau charity foundation would work with Goo Jai on five films. VITAL was the first, the subjects of the films would be mainly inspirational stories. Would she be interested in getting into the film industry? She said, "Because the pandemic has had a drastic impact on every industry and business, earlier everyone was suffering. With the spirit of helping each other and getting over hardship with everyone, the plan is for everyone to have a job." She stressed that she did not deliberately invest in film. If in the future with good scripts she would not continue investing. Would she consider guest starring in a film? She joked, "Of course not! I wouldn't want to frighten anyone, let's see if there is any fat housewife role."

Yuen Lai Lam dressed up for the event but kept trying to fix it. She said that lately she got thinner because the Hong Kong Film Awards would take place soon. The Best Actress nominee said that she would not be too sexy that nigh and joked that she did not have what it would take. "I would wear a simple dress, it wouldn't be too gimmicky." Speaking of her confidence, she stated that she did not have any to win and picked Sammi Cheng Sau Man to win. She just saw Sammi's nominated film last week, really liked her character and was able to see a different side of Hong Kong.

Wu Tsz Tung said that due to the pandemic he decided to join the Hong Kong baseball team again. Would it hinder his acting work? He said, "For now it's nothing special, because I still haven't had a job. However I spent all the money so I have to start working! I would play again after making money."
