The guy group MIRROR member Edan Lui Cheuk On and the Golden Horse Best Actress Chung Suet Ying starred Lunar New Year film THE SNOWBALL ON A SUNNY DAY (GUM DOR BO) although has not been as popular as the "movie king" NIGHT KING (YEH WONG), but the family affection and human touch in the film were tear-jerking, and the word of mouth has been good. With a group of "guest stars" like Louis Koo Tin Lok and Michael Hui Koon Man, the film has been gaining momentum as its current box office has already surpassed HK$ 10 million.

Reportedly the film's director and one of the investors Philip Yung Tsz Kwong while responding to fan posts on the Internet criticized the box office champion NIGHT KING for "hogging the schedule", which caused the team to fall into a state of "taking a beating". "Actually we only hope to hold on to the second place that cannot threaten the box office champion, but ...... Is this considered film schedule hogging? 8 a.m. and 12 a.m., then sparing an afternoon show around 1 p.m. What about the promised win-win situation for Hong Kong films? Didn't you say that everyone should watch several Chinese New Year movies together?" The incident has caused heated discussions, and online reactions have been polarized.
