Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Fish Liew Chi Yu and others of the Lunar New Year film NIGHT KING (YEH WONG) team appeared at the "Hong Kong Screenwriters' Guild Spring Tea Dinner and Awards Ceremony 2026" the night before. Regarding the cumulative box office of the film in Hong Kong and Macau exceeding HK$ 90 million, Tze Wah has been expected to create a legend and dominate the top three of Hong Kong film box office in Hong Kong film history; Tze Wah boldly said that if that would come true, he would be a guest at Sammi's concert and celebrate with a lively song and dance.

Tze Wah and Sammi said that they were very happy that NIGHT KING has achieved good results and exchanged pleasantries to each other, saying that it was the other's credit. Tze Wah even pointed out that he has calculated for Sammi, who has spent more days promoting the movie than on making it; Sammi also said that she really did her best. Speaking of some Legislative Council member advocating the revitalization of the night market in Tsim Sha Tsui East with the "Night King Era" as the subject, they both expressed their approval. They thought that Hong Kong has been too quiet at night now. If they would have Dai Pai Dong it would be even better, because finding a place for everyone to to chat at night has been nonexistent; citizens could also do a little business.

Speaking of Tze Wah being expected to win the top three highest- grossing Hong Kong films with THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK), A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG) and NIGHT KING, Tze Wah said that the credit belonged to the entire film team. If it would really happen of course it would be a happy event, and worth having a meal to celebrate. He also had to rush to make it happen before Sammi's Kai Tak concert in July, so she could have a proper feast. NIGHT KING would also have to book a private room to watch the show. Sammi laughed and pointed out that the concert has not yet been officially announced, but Tze Wah has been more anxious than her. Would Tze Wah be a guest performer? He said proudly, "This is really hard to refuse, and I can't say a few words on stage. I actually have to sing and dance with Sammi; I also am expecting to see the bonesetter, because Sammi's choreography is crazy and deadly and one out of the four limb will be lost, haha." Sammi immediately said: "Hey, it's you who say yes, I am excited just from thinking about it."

Many concerts and concerts have low attendance rates recently, but would Sammi not have to worry about this? Tze Wah said that he had confidence in Sammi's appeal; Sammi instead asked Tze Wah if he would worry about box office. Actually everyone was in the same mood. She said, "It's not that I'm not scared, but I don't overestimate myself every time I perform a concert. The important thing is to be yourself and do your best." Speaking of whether she would have a chance to break the Kai Tak Stadium show record, she admitted that she probably would not have too many shows. After all, she is old and her style is to do the best in every performance. However she is very happy that the movie results are like passing a hurdle, so that she can work on the concert with peace of mind. She would still continue to do her best to thank the audience. Tze Wah said that he would discuss with the new screenwriter to continue making movies.

Also on hand, Wong Dan Nei and Liew Chi Yu said that they were very happy that the box office performance has been rising. They said that they would work hard to continue to promote, because the whole team has been very enthusiastic and attentive to thank the audience and has planned to try new ideas in future publicity. They have had a close relationship. Recently Liew Chi Yu had another new film release, Wong Dan Nei said that on the day of the premiere, she could not support the show because she was not in Hong Kong; but she would definitely buy tickets to support her after that. She enjoyed the process of entering the theater to watch the movie.

Regarding Liew Chi Yu's many intimate scenes between women in the new film GIRLFRIENDS (NUI HAI BUT PING FAN), would Wong Dan Nei be able to accept acting in similar subjects? She bluntly stated that as an actress she would not limit her possibilities, as long as the director feels that she is suitable for the role she will be happy to challenge. She also took the new film AGAINST ALL ODDS (YING GAU FEI FU) as an example, when the director wanted her with long hair to get a crew cut, she agreed, "He was so sudden, he only said, 'let's go now!' on the day of the crew cut. I was a little scared, but I was very glad to have a very different image for the audience. Earlier I got a crew cut for the shoot, my husband (Sheldon Lo) likes my long hair. When I have time I would wear a wig for his benefit." Liew Chi Yu said that she would cross dress for a movie to please herself, and would not deliberately do so for her boyfriend Lo Chun Yip. She joked, "I am not benefiting him!"
