The Dayo Wong Tze Wah and Sammi Cheng Sau Man starred in A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG)'s Jack Ng Wai Lun directed Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG). Wong Tze Wah watched what he ate and trained his muscles to show off his figure to battle Cheng Sau Man in bed. NIGHT KING's backdrop is a night club. Wong Tze Wah said that in the film he used three lifetimes worth of foul language and smoked ten lifetimes worth of cigarette. He joked that he sacrificed his lungs for the film. In addition he also praised Alan Yeung Wai Lun by name and said that he would become another Hong Kong comedic actor with this film.

Wong Tze Wah and Cheng Sau Man in NIGHT KING played night club manager Brother Foon and CEO Sister V, a complicated pair of partners. They were both former lovers and rivals. They even had bed scenes. Wong Tze Wah for the bed scene worked out everyday. Director Ng Wai Lun said, "After shooting this scene, the first thing Tze Wah said to me, 'Do you know how long I have been on a diet for this scene? You left it until the end to shoot.' This time truly has been rough for Tze Wah."

Wong Tze Wah said that working with Cheng Sau Man officially has been very smooth. "As soon as production began we have already begun to have natural chemistry. This type of chemistry is a little like rivals and a little like lovers. This emotion naturally comes, which I thought was pretty interesting." Aside from Cheng Sau Man, Wong Tze Wah also had the same unspeakable chemistry with A GUILTY CONSCIENCE staff Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Louise Wong Dan Nei and Fish Liew Chi Yu. With the new additions Mandy Tam Man Huen, Hazel Lam Hei Tung and Sumling Li, he said that girls were numerous and pretty in this film, wherever he looked on the set were pretty girls. "My eyes didn't know where to look......sometimes it was a little awkward, because everyone were dressed very sexily. This line-up, I believe in the past 20 years of Hong Kong films, no one has seen before. Everyone has been very focused, living up to their part as dance escorts. If you ask me, this time developed from the few girls in A GUILTY CONSCIENCE to a scene with this many people, if I have to give a grade I would give 10,000 points."

Wong Tze Wah praised by name Yeung Wai Lun (Ah Lun) as his subordinate Earth. "I am really worried for Earth. After performing in NIGHT KING, he could no longer play other roles. Because he has already become another Hong Kong comedic actor, every scene that has Ah Lun is very funny. When everyone comes, why not bring some expectations. I believe you won't be disappointed." Wong Tze Wah revealed that in making NIGHT KING he spoke three lifetimes worth of foul language and smoked ten lifetimes of cigarettes. "I have to stress to everyone not to learn from us when seeing us smoke, I really sacrificed my lungs for this movie! Anyway, in the night club world, no matter men or women, everyone uses foul language, smoke. In order to create a realistic night club world, I have to make the sacrifice once for NIGHT KING."

Ng Wai Lun revealed that he has put a lot of thought into Brother Foon and Sister V's hotel "catch up" scene. "Adult relationships are very complicated, I like this complicated feeling very much. I have always wanted to write a relationship that travels between deep love, hatred, concern, disdain, help, harm, loyalty and betrayal, this time it is placed on Brother Foon and Sister V. The focus of their hotel room scene is on their complicated feeling. Their relationship scene brews from the gambling table, starting with them testing each other, to when they team up to win big, they get so excited that they end up in bed, argue, turn on each other, then to being attentive and finally go their separate ways, with a little regret and upset. Putting so many strong emotions into one scene, watching the sparks from Tze Wah and Sammi, it is very entertaining and a lot of fun." He praised Wong Tze Wah and Cheng Sau Man were both very professional actors, from their first meeting to discuss the script to the official shoot, they have never said to him any restriction or anything they did not want to do. A wild shoot for them was basic, performing a feast for the eyes for everyone was the height that Wong Tze Wah and Cheng Sau Man were after.
