Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui (Brother Tan), Jay Fung Won Him, Amy Lo Wai Man, Fish Liew Chi Yu, ANSONBEAN and other actors and two directors attended the premiere of the film AN ABANDONED TEAM (DUT CHUNG SIN SUN) at the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival the night before. Playing a cameo role in the film, Brother Tan's eldest daughter Zaneta Cheng Yiu was also present.

AN is the film debut film of Fung Won Him and ANSONBEAN, and it is also the first time that Lo Wai Man plays the leading role. As the film industry "rookies" the three when faced with Brother Tan all said that they were "scared", but at the same time were also very grateful to Brother Tan for taking care of them. Brother Tan laughed and said that he performed in this movie all because he was deceived by the director. He first heard the director say that the movie was about "old dog of a man", who knew that he was this "old" man and there was another "dog". Originally because he was only allergic to dogs he turned it down, but the director told him to take allergy medicine and he would be fine. In the end in the last scene he had a skin reaction from coming in contact with puppy drool. Not only did he have skin reaction, but he also had heat stroke from shooting on location in the barren mountains and mountains under the high temperature of more than 30 degrees Celsius. The on set crew mistakenly thought that he was trying to steal the spotlight. He joked, "Today's young directors are really 'forcing things', and I really want to 'settle accounts' with them!" Brother Tan said that his daughter Cheng Yiu has always been an extra in his movies. He also revealed that the only requirement he had when he agreed to make this movie was to have a scene with his daughter Zaneta and his on screen daughter Fish in the film.

Zaneta said that his father was filming both movies and TV series at the time, and rapidly lost 10 pounds. Speaking of the scene with father and daughter together, Cheng Yiu in the film guest starred as a viewer.Brother Tan said that the movie dialogue in the film was when he stared at his real daughter, pointed to on the stage and said "My granddaughter." Did Brother Tan really want to have a grandchild, he joked that it would be fun. Has Zaneta felt the pressure of being rushed to have a baby? Zaneta laughed, "I didn't have it at the time, but now I have it when I'm married. However my parents have made it clear that they won't help with grandchildren." Speaking of being moved to tears at his daughter's wedding, Brother Tan admitted that he could to help it. Cheng Yiu pointed out that when Papa saw her trying on the gown he was already teary eyed.

Liew Chi Yu pointed out that when working with Brother Tan at the beginning she was both nervous and stressed. She thanked him for his trust and said that she has always wanted to make a family movie. She also pointed out that the story was somewhat similar to her family dynamic in real life, which made her very sentimental. She has never lived with Papa in her life. One of the argument scene expressed strong emotions, and was very damaging to her liver. After the shoot she was very tired, but she did not expect Brother Tan to give her a high score of 120 points for her performance. Liew Chi Yu said, "The most memorable thing was filming a fierce argument scene with Brother Tan, after the filming completed Brother Tan patted me on the shoulder and praised me for doing a good job, which made me break down and cry."

Fung Won Him revealed that he was very nervous about his first movie and had bad takes. He fumbled with his Cantonese dialogue and pointed out that different from singing, acting required instant reaction with the co-star. He even had bad takes with his kiss scene with Lo Wai Man. How many takes did they take? He emphasized, "It's not that I deliberately want to reshoot, it's that the director thinks I haven't done a good enough job. Although this isn't my first on screen kiss, it is the first time on the big screen. In addition the co-star is the tall and beautiful Lo Wai Man, I am really nervous and embarrassed. However the audience won't see it, because it has been completely cut. I hope that the second version can be launched with the feedback of the audience." Lo Wai Man was very happy to be the lead actress for the first time, and said humorously, "I don't think it's a pity that the kiss scene was deleted; I filmed it anyway, only everyone can't see it." She also praised her co-star as a 200 point good boyfriend.
