The Anita Yuen Wing Yee (Lan Lan) and a group of Malaysian actors Miko Wong Jie Kee, Juztin Lan (Lau Gai Fai), Chan Fong, Chris Tong Bingyu starred warm family movie OMG! MOM'S BIG NEWS (OMG! AH MA YAU HEI) has been scheduled to be released in Hong Kong on May 15th. The film tells the story of a couple who is about to retire. When they are about to enjoy the second half of their lives, the wife suddenly unexpectedly becomes pregnant; not only disrupting the plan for the "second half" but the whole family also has to think about how to face sudden problems and examine anew the situation and mentality of how the family got along and grew over the years. The proposition was worth anyone to think about in life and touch people's hearts. Lan Lan's interpretation of the suddenly with child "mama" in the movie was very appropriate. In a noodle eating solo scene she even performed until she kept crying, which made the on-site staff also admire the wonderful performance of this Best Actress-level elder.

Lan Lan has not made a movie for a while. She worked with Malaysian actors for the first time, and got along well with the family in and out of the film. The two new actors Miko and Juztin Lan (Lau Kai Fai) were on the set to take the opportunity to learn even if they were not in the shoot. Lan Lan filmed a noodle eating scene alone. When thinking of the effort and care her family has given her, she could not help but cry again and again. Although after a few takes the director was satisfied, Lan Lan felt that she was not good enough and asked for another take. She would not quit until her emotions were completely in place, after the cameras stopped rolling her face was still covered in tears. As a mother for many years, Lan Lan was also very suitable for the role. Coupled with superb acting skills, she further enriched the role of the mother in the film.

OMG earlier held a special screening on International Women's Day on March 8th and the response was decent. Many viewers reported that the film not only talked about family and family affection but also reflected on self-growth, which was a warm and joyful movie worth recommending to everyone. Advanced screenings would begin starting April 18th.
