Chow Yun Fat and Tang Wei yesterday were the ribbon cutting guests at a watch and jewelry brand flagship store anniversary. Other guests included Juno Mak Chun Lung, Chung Suet Ying, Cecilia Choi Sze Wan, Renci Yeung Si Wing and Keung To. Tang Wei joked that her husband has "taken her away" with agarwood. She said that if a script would move her she would not mind the character, and she wanted to work with Fat Gor; Fat Gor wanted to drag Dayo Wong Tze Wa and Carol Cheng Yui Ling into making THE MOD SQUAD (JI FU SEUNG HUNG).

When would she have another new film? Tang Wei said that she has been waiting for a script that would touch her heart. If she would run into a script like that, and the director also felt that she would be suitable, she would not have any problem with playing any character. What if the role would be more daring than LUST, CAUTION (SIK GAI)? She went "wow". "The script still comes first, but a good script is hard to find." Who would she like to work with? She said that she would like to work with Fat Gor, and that actors were very passive. She too has been waiting for others to choose her. Speaking of when she would work overseas, her husband would take care of their daughter who is studying in Beijing. She was in a hurry to go back and take care of her daughter's education, but she said that she really missed Hong Kong. She was reluctant to leave because Hong Kong cuisine was very attractive. "In awhile I would like to take a walk by the Central Harborfront. I want to have wonton noodle the most, I am drooling just from thinking about it!"

Host Carol Cheng Yui Ling interviewed Fat Gor. As soon as they saw each other, Fat Gor took a selfie. Then Sister Do asked him what has 50 years in the film industry brought him? Fat Gor said, "Fortune, fame, knowledge, and prospective on life. After playing each character I have lived a lifetime, 50 years equal to 50 lifetimes. After 50 cycles I have experienced a lot." Later Fat Gor joked that yesterday he has already left the credit card to buy jewelry to cheer up Fat Soh. Would he get a matching set? He joked, "No, just hers alone is already a big deal. I am bankrupted, I would get less for family expenses!"

When would he be seen in a movie again? Fat Gor joked, "I can always been seen on the over the set top box, I have read new scripts for now for I haven't had any suitable ones." Fat Gor said that Tang Wei showed him her daughter's photos, and he thought she was very pretty and looked just like Mommy. He also felt that Tang Wei after marriage got prettier and happier. As for whether they would work together, he said that would depend whether her husband would ask him to make a move in Korea. He really would need to have a proper talk with Tang Wei. Would he like to work with former colleague Sister Do? Fat Gor actually has had this idea long ago. "Make two kings and a queen, add Wong Tze Wa, we would see who dies first. With Tze wa we can probably motivate DoDo. We can call it THE MOD SQUAD. I would play Hayes, with an afro and all. It should be very entertaining, but for DoDo to hit me I am afraid she wouldn't have the strength. Now a strong wind could blow her away. If we would shoot it we probably could next year."

Speaking of Fat Gor receiving the 28th Busan International Film Festival Asian Filmmaker Award, he admitted that being in the business for 50 years has been very hard to come by. He was very happy to receive the award and wanted to thank the audience for liking him. How would he celebrate? He joked that he has already gone to Sham Shui Po for Cheung Fun. He was very familiar with the store owner and the patrons, afterward he even took selfies. Fat Gor has always paid attention to Hong Kong film and television industry development. He admitted that he would not mind working with new actors, like TVB has many new actors with potential; only for now he might not be able to say their names yet. He felt their acting has been decent.

Over 200 "Keung Candies" (Keung To fans) were on hand. When Chow Yun Fat and his wife Jasmine Tan appeared the "Keung Candies" screamed out of excitement. After his interview he went to them for a selfie. He joked that everyone was holding up "Keung" light signs but no "Chow" light sign. "Keung Candies" screamed for him too. He joked, "They were paid long ago!" He said that he has never seen Keung To. When he learned that he would be there he joked, "I have to avoid him, his face is even on the tram. I can't get away fast enough! (Maybe Keung To wants to see you?) Seeing him I would feel ashamed!"

Keung To admitted that he was nervous because he wanted to see his idol too much. "My whole family really likes to watch Fat Gor's work. Pa always impersonates him, when he pretends to be Fat Gor getting mad his presence is very close." Speaking of his other idol Show Lo (Law Chi Cheung) not making him his Hong Kong concert guest, he explained that it would clash with MIRROR's concert rehearsal schedule and he admitted it was a little regrettable. The ticket sales for the MIRROR 5th anniversary event has been rumored to be less than ideal, Keung To admitted, "Some things are beyond our control. We would work hard and answer to the fans in attendance. (Are the tickets too expensive?) It's the company's decision." In addition, his "real girlfriend" was rumored to be Taiwan artist Tammy Lin. He said, "I expected rumors. (Is she the type you like?) I am not answer these questions." He also said that he has no girlfriend right now.
