The Angela Yuen Lai Lam starred movie VITAL SIGN (SHOOK YUEN TOH JUNG) has not been included in the eligible 2025 films for the 44th Hong Kong Film Award. She went to Mong Kok yesterday with Kayan Ng, Sabrina Cheung Man Sha, Jaime Cheung Tin Wing, Chase Chan Chung Chak, and director Veronica Bassetto (Bak Wai Kei) to attend the music video premiere of the new film theme song GAMER GIRLS (DIN GAIN NUI HAI). Yuen Lai Lam said that she has paid attention to the news and admitted that she had questions. "I understand as much as everyone else, I don't know what the reason is. (What a pity?) I worked hard to make this movie 4 years ago, and my mood was very normal. I don't know why, so I want to know why." She was eligible for the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actress with GAMER GIRL, was she confident that she would be nominated? Yuen Lai Lam felt that the award was not the most important, instead she would like the film to perform well at the box office. "The movie market is sluggish, and another theater closed a few days ago. I feel that I am a speck of dust, I don't know what to do. I am considering cosplay to thank the audience and pump up the box office. GAMER GIRLS took 4 years to produce, spending HK$ 5 million for action scenes and computer generated effects. I hope the box office would be rewarded a little, so the director's efforts would not be in vain." She said that the movie she made 4 years ago is about to be released and she was excited. The movie has depicted 5 girls who like e-sports games in pursuit of their dreams. Very passionate, they each have many special costumes. She was the intellectual girl representative, and would leave the sexy representative to Kayan Ng. Kayan joked, "This time is an embodiment of cold sexiness, very different from normally. I don't laugh in the film, I even have to be gloomy."

Kayan with the film MY BEST BET (CHEUNG DOH BIT YANG), GAMER GIRLS is eligible for the Hong Kong Film Award Best Actress and New Performer. She joked that her first goal was to be nominated. She remained optimistic and had confidence in herself. "After making MY BEST BET I experienced betting for a long time would guarantee victory. I see myself as the film industry 'pillar' of tomorrow." Yuen Lai Lam corrected her that she should be the star of tomorrow. Her former company "Trial and Error" earlier sued a public relations company on her behalf for HK$ 1.3 million for the service rendered plus interest. Kayan Ng said that she has been following up and the situation has been optimistic. "The money would come gradually, I hope to collect it all in the not too distant future."
