Kelly Chen claims that she has worked with Takeshi Kaneshiro on three occasions. When she watches LAVENDAR again she feels they are well matched. Also because of making that film they have become more familiar with each others

Kelly Chen Wai Lam held a new song THE FRAGRANCE OF MEMORY music video press conference and movie LAVENDER (FUN YI CHO) screening at the cinema the night before. Kelly said that Kong Hoi Ka (AGA) wrote the new song two years ago. AGA also liked the movie and songs of LAVENDER, and the concept of the new song could be regarded as a continuation of the film. Kelly laughed and said that she rewatched the movie with Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo), admitted that she also missed him and hoped to have the opportunity to work with him again. Kelly bluntly said that she was ready to start a side track show, and a long-lost "male god" will join her in March.

Chen Wai Lam said at the meeting that she has collaborated with Gum Sing Mo three times, including the movies LOST AND FOUND (TIN NGAI HOI GOK), ANNA MAGDALENA (ON NA MA DUT LIN NA) and LAVENDER. She said with a smile, "I remember when I was filming LOST, Gum Sing Mo and I were not familiar at all. He often looked at the sea alone like an artist, and I thought to myself, 'You are quite boring.' When I made ANNA we started to get acquainted, because (Aaron) Kwok Fu Sing was present to create the atmosphere. We became even more familiar when filming LAVENDER. Because it was just the two of us, we would have bad breath if we didn't talk day and night; so we became friends, and our chemistry was even better."

Chen Wai Lam said that the new song was inspired by LAVENDER and was recorded two years ago. It was only released now completely because she was waiting for the director to finish the music video. "The director has many ideas. He wants to ask Gum Sing Mo, and he wants to shoot in France. It's too much! We don't have such a big budget." Why did she not ask Gum Sing Mo to perform in the new song music video? Kelly said, "Because I couldn't find him, I rarely contact him, and I miss him a little. Now watching the movie again I felt that at the time we were rather pretty well matched, very romantic." Kelly also said that the new song music video deliberately went back to the locations of LAVENDER at Central, but unfortunately most of the scenes are unrecognizable. The original restaurant has now become an empty shop, which was quite depressing."

She said that after watching Gum Sing Mo in SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) he already felt drastically different. "Now he has turned into a big brother. At the time he was a young man. We were very romantic.
