Ben Yuen Fu Wa and Ng Siu Hin worked together on an One Cool Film and Emperor Motion Pictures film STAND UP STORY (SUET SIU DIK YUN). In it Yuen Fu Wa played a single father with light intellectual disability who raised his son Ng Siu Hin alone and weaved a touching father and son relationship. In the trailer Yuen Fu Wa played the role from age 30 something into 50 or 60s, which was quite a test to his acting abilities. He said, "I had to express body movement at different ages, like hands and feet would have different levels of immobility. I had to handle them very carefully, so this character to me was rather challenging."
