The film IN BROAD DAYLIGHT (BAK YUN JI HA) two nights ago held a celebrity screening, producer Derek Yee Tung Sing, director Lawrence Kan Kwan Chun, actors Jennifer Yu Heung Ying, Bowie Lam Bo Yi, Rachel Leung Yung Ting and Leung Chung Hang attended, Peter Chan Charm Man, Henick Chou Hon Ning, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip and his girlfriend Fish Liew Chi Yu, girl group Super Girls, Ng Siu Hin and Ben Yuen Fu Wa also showed their support. Producer Yee Tung Sing said that IN under a wave of difficult conditions was made after contacting the fifth film company, like his film ONE NITE IN MONGKOK (WONG GOK HAK YEH). He knew that the director suffered a lot to raise fund for the film, so all the credit of the film should go to the director because he was able to persist to the end.

Yu Heung Ying also just returned from the Tokyo International Film Festival for IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. During the festival she attended the premiere and audience appreciation event. She joked that lately she has seen Director Kan more than her own daughter. Before going to Japan, she also went to Canada and attended the Montreal International Film Festival. Although so far she still has yet to adjust to the time differences, she was very happy to be able to go overseas for the film. In particular she was able to see the positive audience reaction, on her trip she also had the chance to meet some Chinese directors. This was her gain; she hoped that one day she would be able to make a non Hong Kong movie. "In Canada and Japan I ran many filmmakers who emigrated there. Although we didn't discuss collaboration, as long as there is a good script and a good character I wouldn't mind making a movie anywhere." She has been nominated for the Golden Horse Award Best Actress with the film. "I have begun choosing what to wear, but now is the clothing choosing me. Because earlier I had a cesarean birth, I couldn't exercise or wear anything tight. So I could only eat less. My husband wouldn't come along, he has to stay home to be the wet nurse." She said that she has not been to Taiwan in 6 years, and she looked forward to attending the Golden Horse Awards on the 25th and meeting the audience there.

Lam Bo Yi and Leung Yung Ting have been nominated for the Golden Horse Awards Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. Would he celebrate? Lam Bo Yi said, "Now I am quite a homebody, at the moment of the announcement I was doing chores at home. Instead friends, colleagues were more nervous than I was." He instead was confident about Leung Yung Ting's chances of winning.

Bo Yi pointed out that in IN he played a "devil" like character. Based on a real story, the director asked him to gain weight to be closer to the original home director character. He also in a short period gained 6 kilograms to 80 kilograms, but during the shoot he added a fake belly to add to the effect.

Leung Yung Ting's performance has received praises. She said that most of the credit should go to Lam Bo Yi, because only due to co-star interaction would the relationship be created. Bo Yi stated that the screenplay only had words, on the set it would depend on them to come up with ideas. For example for how the director lured the intellectually challenged resident into his room, they thought of using a cup of ice cream. Leung Yung Ting had no confidence in winning the award. Bo Yi heard and loudly said, "Yes you do!". Leung Yung Ting then changed her mind and said that she had confidence, and that she still has not prepare what she would wear to attend the Golden Horse Awards.
