The Gigi Leung Wing Kei and Peter Chan Charm Man starred inspirational movie PASS AND GOAL (YIK JUEN SEUNG BOON CHEUNG) would be released during Christmas, and the two were recently interviewed for the movie. Gigi said that because her husband's sister recently gave birth to a baby girl, she would accompany her husband to visit Spain during Christmas and for the publicity work she would depend on Chan Charm Man. However the preview screenings before the release had great word of mouth, so before departing she at least has attended a few audience appreciation screenings. Gigi said that her husband and daughter watched the movie with zero obstacles and praised it for being entertaining. She joked that she was a "trendy mother" who learned the girl group choreography to please her daughter.
The film used soccer as a metaphor for life, telling the story of how several protagonists bounced back from the bottom, overcame adversity and chased their dreams. The movie would be suitable for the entire families. Gigi said that she has previously invited a group of young actors she worked with on the ViuTV drama "THE PARENTS LEAGUE" to watch the movie. They were very happy after watching it and able to recommend it to other children and parents. Her daughter Sofia has also taken the lead in supporting it. After watching it she even sang its praises. "My daughter said, 'This movie is Mommy's most entertaining movie'." Chan Charm Man asked Gigi, "Has she seen all your works?" Gigi confessed, "She hasn't." Gigi also said that she would speak Cantonese to her daughter, so she would understand it. Even her husband, who did not know Chinese and needed to read the subtitles, praised it for being very entertaining.
Chan Charm Man jokingly pointed out that the movie would be able to break out of Hong Kong, and also pointed out that his wife and 4- year-old daughter both liked it after watching it. He even revealed that his daughter has visited the set during the filming, but she did not ask him why he was in a wheelchair. She just kept asking, "Is Locker (Lam Ka Hei) here?" He said jealously, "Because my daughter likes to watch "Trial and Error" on YouTube, she is infatuated with this man." He joked with his daughter that she has become Marf (Yau Yin Tung)'s romantic rival. "Luckily when she watched the movie she is still able to recognize me and Auntie Gigi. She is very happy from watching the movie." Gigi comforted Chan Charm Man and said that his daughter subconsciously really loved Papa, because Locker was thin and looked a bit like him? Chan Charm Man immediately reacted and said, "Are you kidding? He's so much more handsome."
As parents, would they find working with the numerous children easy this time? Chan Charm Man said, "I've never worked with a large group of children, but I enjoy it because I'm a big kid myself." With four nephews at home, he thought that he had a good relationship with children. "I always ask them if they are dating? Do you have a girlfriend? This is the best way to open up the topic. We would take verbal jabs at each other, with some dirty stuff in the middle. The topic must keep up with the trends, such as the recent trend of six seven (meaningless humor)."
Gigi pointed out that her daughter also said that someone in the school said it, but it actually had no meaning. Both believed that parents would need to catch up with the trends, and Gigi laughed and pointed out that her daughter has often "updated" her. "Because my daughter likes to sing K-pop, she would tell me what kind of Korean groups are in Korea. She likes to keep track of the names of Korean girl groups, write them all down, but she hasn't been as good with the multiplication table. When she really see those people, she would know exactly what group they are in, what their zodiac signs are, and what nationalities they are. I think that very obviously her interest is singing, plus she likes to dance. She has learned to dance K-pop, so I have to keep up with the trends. I have learned a few tricks to play around and satisfy my next daughter."
Would she encourage her daughter to pursue her dreams? Gigi believed that the most important thing as a parent would be to give her children the opportunity to try. "Let her try anything she wants, don't sink her as soon as she comes. Let go for the children to try. I am pretty open in this area, letting her choose freely. As for chasing dreams? Actually her interests in singing and dancing are obvious. I would explain to him whether she would be able to develop singing and dancing into a career in the future, which actually would depend on the fate and the era. So I don't think I need to think too much, just enjoy what she wants to do now."
Chan Charm Man also agreed with Gigi's opinion, but now that his daughter is still young so he would not need to think about this issue urgently. Instead the top priority would be to enroll his daughter in elementary school. "I want to abandon the concept of going to school wherever I live. It used to be simper, if you live in the district then you study in that district. Now we have to cross districts and enroll in interview classes." Gigi shared her experience as a person who has been there, suggesting that the most important thing would be to talk and accompany with her daughter more. That would already be the best interview class.
Leung Wing Kei said that 14 year old Chow Kei Yuet has a huge personality contrast. She would be more bashful during dramatic performance, so Gigi needed to guide her to pay more attention to interacting with her eyes. However when she played soccer she would turn into a goddess. Radiant with self confidence, she lived up to being a representative of the current Hong Kong U16 women's soccer team.
