Josie Ho Chiu Yi and her husband Conroy Chan Chi Chung, Iman Taheri, Andrew Lam Man Chung, Susan Shaw Yam Yam, etc. attended the premiere of the international version of the movie "DREAM HOME" (WAI DOR LEI AH YUT HO) the night before to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the film's release.

Ho Chiu Yi since founding the film company 852 Films in 2006 has produced over 20 films. DREAM HOME was the first. She pointed out that the movie was released 15 years ago, which has not been a long time and not considered a box office hit. Due to the Hong Kong film censorship restrictions, the bloody, violent scenes were unable to be completely on display for the audience to see. Now with the international version viewers would be able to see the full version. Chiu Yi pointed out that the film was not the box office champion that year, but it was very sensational. She won the Best Actress Award at the 43rd Sitges International Film Festival in Spain, and the film was also sold to theaters around the world. "An English distribution company arranged for the film to be released in theaters in England and Scotland. They even invited me to promote the film. I was very surprised!" Would she plan to make a sequel? Producer Chan Chi Chung pointed out that in the past there were foreign companies that wanted to buy the copyright and remake it into a drama, while Chiu Yi said that overseas studios, including Hollywood studios, have asked to buy copyrights for filming, but she felt that this was the first "baby" of her film company. Even remakes would have to be authentic.

Chan Chi Chung had to undergo multiple surgeries due to a torn aorta and was gradually recovering, but he had to go to the United States for surgery close to the heart due to health problems earlier. Two nights ago Chi Chung looked decent and was even full of smile. When asked about his health, Chi Chung said, "I am already much better, I am very happy to be able to come out and see everyone!" Chiu Yi said that her husband has completed an operation, but he could not have the aortic surgery for now because he has undergone many surgeries in the past few years. The doctor did not approve of him to have this major surgery. Chi Chung said, "I don't want to have it either, as long as the blood pressure is well controlled it should be no problem." At this time Chiu Yi also pulled up her sleeves, showed the bruises on her arms and said with a wry smile, "I have a lot of action scenes in THE MAGE 2 (SUP FONG FAT SI 2). Earlier for on a wire scene, I hug a stuntman like a koala but the wires scratched me like this. Both arms and inner thighs were all bruised, and even the meniscus was torn. Yet the movie would have to be finished before February 6th, only then I could go to the hospital for treatment." Also in THE MAGE 2, Iman Taheri was also covered in scars but he felt the fight scenes were a lot of fun. He said that he could not show everyone the scars but the injuries have not scared him away from acting. "I have gained a lot of experience and I thought it was a lot of fun." Chiu Yi laughed and said that in the film she played the role of a scavenger mage, which was equivalent to being a garbage woman. When filming the romantic effect of the falling cherry blossoms, she actually picked up the cherry blossoms that fell on the ground and used them again. Because they were already filled with dusts on the ground, after the shoot Iman's eyes were infected. She said, "Iman worked in an armor. Although he was very hot, he also looked very cool and he was very happy. I was a glutton for punishment, playing the scavenger mage and having to play with garbage on the set."
