Stephy Tang Lai Yan, Simon Yam Tat Wa, Mimi Kung Chi Yan and others starred new film HUNG DAU (RED BEAN) yesterday held its production start ceremony. Playing a father who was chauvinistic in the film, Yam Tat Wa made daughter Stephy felt neglected. She often argued with her slacker "little brother" Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun, and joked that she wanted to ask the director to add a scene to slap him. During the interview a butterfly frightened Ngai Chun Sun into taking a few steps back. Stephy "shoo" it away then pretended to hit him. Playing the boyfriend, Kevin Chu Kam Yin might ask to add scenes when the mood struck and joked that he had "action scenes" added before. Chu Kam Yin was not nervous about working with the goddess for the first time, and praised her for bringing him into character.

Brother Wa said that he and Kung Chi Yan have worked together before on television and in movies. Yam Tat Wa this time let go of his handsome image to bring the Tongsui shop boss to life. He had an expert teaching him how to make Tongsui, which he joked that filled his whole body with the scent of red beans. This time in order to play this tongsui shop boss well, he even learned to fry red beans and discovered that the process was actually very complicated. He also said that he would bring the red bean soup home for his wife Qi Qi; but because she was from Shanghai, he would add her favorite Tangyuan into it so she would be able to try his cooking. Kung Chi Yan revealed that Qi Qi often made soup for Brother Wa to bring to the set and commended Brother Wa for loving his wife on and off camera. In the film he would not let her carry anything heavy, on the streets he would stand in front to protect her. She also complimented Brother Wa was great with cooking and sports and "everything"! Brother Wa also said that because he has been in the kitchen since he was little, cutting the chenpi slices in the film was not difficult for him.

Speaking of his horse winning a race earlier as the dark horse and won over a million dollar in prize after overcoming 1:47 odds, he said that he was teaching Stephy how to cook red beans that day and did not place a bet. He joked, "Those red beans are pretty expensive, but it doesn't matter, I wish everyone good luck always! (Would you be afraid that you missed out?) No, if it happens it happens. That day although I didn't win money I still treated everyone, and I learned to buy the whole meal (betting on horses)."

Playing the tongsui shop heir, Jeffrey revealed that the character was not what he seemed. Inside he really loved his family but he did not show it, he specialized in having fun but would not help with the shop; instead Chu Kam Yin in the film in order to win over his girlfriend would help around the shop.
