The film DOG DAY EVENING (YUT GOR BO MOON DIK DAN SUN) held its premiere last night. Producers Alvin Lam Siu Keung, actor Fish Liew Chi Yu, Mak Pui Tung, Rachel Leung Yung Ting, Yukki Tai Yuk Kei, Yoyo Tse Wing Yan, Ng Wing Sze, Tang Yueping and Edward Chui Woei Dong attended.
Fish and Leung Yung Ting specifically matched each other in red and white, which originally was in line with the TV station mascot "Happy Jai" in the film. Fish also had to dress up as this mascot, she has tried to dress up as a bear mascot to the Christmas party. She could dance, hit people and be reckless without care. She also smiled and said that although working on the movie in the costume was very stuffy, she did not need make up so she did not need to remove any after work. Leung Yung Ting in the film had to cut her hair short to play a female cop. When she cut her hair she did not have any mental hold up. Instead after the cut she felt very refreshing, and saved several months in shampoo money. However she found that as she began to get older, white hair could easily show up in short hair.
Fish and Leung Yung Ting also watched the screening. Fish pointed out a lot of laughs were on Leung Yung Ting and thought why she was able to be so funny and play the role so cutely. The two also expected a good result in the film. Fish smiled and said, "Of course I wish for the higher box office the better, I have been lucky lately and actually when I look at the script I already thought it was good. This movie would deserve to have good box office." Speaking of despite the underperforming recent film market, a few consecutive films relied on word of mouth to become more and more popular. Their box office collected more than HK$ 10 million. Leung Yung Ting said that the current audience is more patient and would first understand the audience's reaction before deciding to go to the film. She believed that DOG could also achieve that as it would be worthy of everyone's expectation. If the film would perform well, how would the two thank the audience? They both joked that would depend on which box office would be satisfactory in the boss's mind, then they would dress up as "Happy Jai" to thank the audience.
Mak Pui Tung said that this time would mainly feature group sense. Before the shoot the director specifically arranged for them to have three table reads. During the shoot he learned a lot from the elder Angelina Lo Yuen Yen and felt that she was truly experienced. Another elder Nina Paw Hee Ching shared with him a lot of joy from her past film sets; but this time he was sorry that he did not have the opportunity to play opposite Gardner Tse Kwan Ho.
Baby Po Pui Yu earlier revealed that over a decade ago while working on a slap scene for SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE MIST (LAM TIN BAK WAN), her face was bruised from Leung Yung Ting's slaps and led to controversy online. Criticized, Leung Yung Ting said that perhaps they lacked communication. She did not know about her co-star's facial operation and her hard hit led to capillary ruptures.
Two nights ago they were both present. Po Pui Yu said that she only mentioned this when a friend asked she has been injured on the set before. She never expected such a tremendous response and praised Leung Yung Ting as a very professional actor. "I ask her to hit me for real in hopes of acing it. Maybe at the time I overestimated myself. Everyone please don't misunderstand me." Her face was red and swollen after the injury. She said to herself with some regret afterward, "I won't let people hit my face anymore. Now my bones are brittle and would crack with the slightest touch!"
Po Pui Yu said that she and Leung Yung Ting have worked together many times afterward, often playing mother and daughter and developing a close relationship. She felt that they had quite a connection, and off screen she would call her "daughter". She looked forward to working together again. Leung Yung Ting said that she and Po Pui Yu were used to play mother and daughter, and often joked about trying a time travel story so she could play the mother instead.
