The movie TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) set off a "walled city fever" after its release in Japan last month, and many actors and "barbecued pork rice" in the film became popular. In order to thank the Japanese audience, Louis Koo Tin Lok and director Soi Cheang Pou Soi led the "Three Sons of the Walled City" Raymond Lam Fung, Tony Wu Tsz Tung and German Cheung Man Kit to attend two audience appreciation performances at a cinema in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and interacted with the audience. It was rumored that the tickets for 2,500 yen (about HK$130) were price scalped to 65,000 yen (about HK$3,400).

When Koo Tin Lok and his group of five people appeared in the theater, the entire audience cheered. Koo Tin Lok took the lead in greeting the audience in Japanese, "Hello everyone, I'm Koo Tin Lok, I love you." Lam Fung went on to say that he was very happy that everyone liked TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN and hoped to bring another good work in the future. Wu Tsz Tung revealed that he will start filming the second and third movies related to TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS in the future, and will try his best to cooperate with the director. Like Koo Tin Lok, Cheung Man Kit greeted the audience in Japanese as well and said, "I love you." He also made the heart gestures.

The host announced that as of the day before yesterday, TWILILGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN had more than 130,000 viewers in Japan, and its box office exceeded 200 million yen (about HK$10.4 million). Koo Tin Lok, director Cheang Pou Soi, Lam Fung, Wu Tsz Tung, and Cheung Man Kit were very happy. The host asked the audience how many times have they watched TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN? Some said 20 times, and Koo Tin Lok and others were surprised and excited. Director Cheang Pou Soi admitted that the popularity of TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN in Japan surprised him. He believed that there were many factors, including the presence of comic book elements in the action scenes and the recreation of the Kowloon Walled City. He admitted that his fondness for Japanese anime and mange since childhood has influenced him, and the friendship described in the movie were the reasons why everyone liked it.

A group of actors were asked about memorable scenes in the film. Koo Tin Lok said that it was Lam Fung's barbecued pork rice scene, because rice and barbecued pork flew all over his face. Since the director did not yell cut, he had to continue acting. Lam Fung thanked the action director Kenji Tanigaki, whose action scenes were very memorable for him. Wu Tzu Tung liked the scene when the "Four Sons of the Walled City" sat on the high-rise of the walled city to watch the plane, feeling full of hope for the future. He hoped to convey the message of not giving up and persevering; Cheung Man Kit liked the mahjong scene because it is the last scene. After that, the five made their fighting poses from the film for the media to take pictures, and they also sat in the audience to take a group photo.
