The film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) was selected to represent Hong Kong at the Oscars competition for "Best International Feature Film". The main actors in the film yesterday included Louis Koo Tin Lok, Raymond Lam Fung, Tony Wu Tsz Tong, German Cheung Man Kit, Philip Ng Won Lung, Kenny Wong Tak Bun and others went to the theater to attend the audience appreciation show. Many audience members dressed up as characters from the movie. Some enthusiastic fans even made their own slogans, asking the actor to "marry her" and dance to POPULAR THIS WEEK with the Koo Tin Lok played "Tornado". However after the viewer finished dancing, Goo Jai sent her away and told her to return to her seat. Some viewer from Shanghai brought prsents to celebrate Koo Tin Lok's October birthday in advance. The scene was joyful.

Since its release TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN'S global box office so far has reached HK$ 940 million. The film would still open in in many places in the future, and conceivably it would be able to break the 1 billion box office mark. Koo Tin Lok expressed that he was very happy about the movie being able to represent Hong Kong at the Oscars, but there is still a long way to go before it would be able to get on the Oscar stage; because it would have to go through multiple rounds of voting to select the final 5 from more than 100 movies, he hoped that the movie would be able to "kill" its way to the end. An audience member asked when the prequel and final chapter of the movie would be released. Koo Tin Lok said that fans would still have to wait patiently because the original team would have to shoot another project before then. The subject matter would have nothing to do with TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS, but action scenes would still be inevitable. "However they woudln't have to fight as hard, the details would be announced later." Koo Tin Lok did not dance to POPULAR THIS WEEK at the fan's request. He laughed and said, "No, don't mess around! I constantly see people dance to it online. Today I see a group of friends dressed up in cosplay at the audience appreciation show, so I asked them to come out and take photos together. (Since they were so sincere you should have danced with them.) Let's see if I would have another chance to perform a concert." If the TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS' global box office would exceeds 1 billion, would Koo Tin Lok celebrate by performing POPULAR THIS WEEK? Koo Tin Lok joked, "I would pray to God and Buddha for it not to."

With his birthday coming up, Koo Tin Lok said that although he would be busy with work, he would definitely take a holiday to celebrate his birthday with his family on the actual day. There would also be a birthday fan gathering. Koo Tin Lok treated TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS representing Hong Kong at the Oscars as his birthday present. He said, "Not for just me, it's also a big inspiration for Hong Kong movies. I hope it can go further and further. I have always said that every movie has its own destiny. Being able to get recognition from different places this time, I hope it would be able to win an award in the end."

Yesterday, among the "Four Sons of the Walled City" only "Shun Yat" Lau Chun Him was absent. Lam Fung said that Lau Chun Him was concentrating on filming the COLD WAR prequel and they would made dinner plans later. When asked if he was confident about the film's Oscars chances, Lam Fung said, "We have always let it be, both the cast and the crew have worked hard to make a good film. It is rare that a film still has audience appreciation shows nearly half a year after its release."

Wu Tsz Tung received a "confession of love" from a female movie fan at the scene and asked to marry him. He laughed and said that movie fans were becoming more and more aggressive. From being a boyfriend to getting married, he could only be more conservative. However he was also happy that the movie had everyone's love, even friends from the mainland and Malaysia made a special trip to Hong Kong to support it. Wu Tsz Tung even revealed that he has recorded a new song to give back to the fans; he would distribute it to the media for everyone later. When asked it would be his first time, Cheung Man Kit joked, "He lost his virginity a long time ago." As for the movie's expectation to break through the 1 billion mark at the global box office, Lam Fung and others believed that it would not be a big problem. When asked how they would celebrate then, Wu Tsz Tung joked that he hoped that Lam Fung would not "make too much of a big deal". Lam Fung said, "Actually after the movie wrapped up production, we have never tried to get everybody together to celebrate; but I hope we can have the opportunity in the future." Speaking of Koo Tin Lok saying that the original team would start work on a new project, Lam Fung and others said that they have not heard of it and joked that only Koo Tin Lok knew about it. Lam Fung said, "Mr. Goo is very mysterious. (There would also be action scenes?) Cheung Man Kit and Wu Tsz Tong have been training normally, and I kept it up after finishing my concerts; so I believe it wouldn't be a big problem. I would give them half a year's time, to sing and dance again at my concert."
