They all expressed their hope that the box office would be able to exceed 100 million. Sonija said that she took her mother and 14-year-old daughter to the venue to enjoy BACK earlier.

I was binge eating snacks and weighed more than 120 pounds, and I lost it immediately when I returned to Hong Kong!" She said that she would only eat 50% full on weekdays, but she was not afraid to eat the lunch box when she was at work. "I will drop the weight in advance before filming starts. Work takes energy and physical strength, so I am not afraid of eating the lunch box at work." She also praised the work lunch box has become more and more delicious. Earlier when she worked on the film version BACK TO THE PAST, the team provided catering and arranged for a chef to cook "home cooked meal" on the set, among which she liked meat cake, steamed fish and good soup the most. Normally at home she had the maid would cook, she would only cook during the holidays and when the mood struck her.

Au Sui Wai also praised the delicious lunch box at work, but he would focus on less rice. "When filming dramas I often have to jump on trampolines and hang on wires. If I don't stay fit I would just give myself a rough time." Speaking of earlier when he was filming the situation drama "LO AND BEHOLD" earlier, there was a scene in which he carried 6 actresses like Koni Lui Wai Yee and Fan Yik Man in a row and was praised online for his amazing arm strength at his age. He revealed that he took a total of two takes that day, and the reporter said that he had to pick up people 12 times? Au Sui Wai immediately asked, "What's the problem?" Which female co-star was the heaviest? He kept his mouth shut and refused to disclose it, only saying that he was the heaviest; but he could reveal the lightest one was Kristy Shaw.

Earlier Kwok Sin Nei and Harry Ng Chung Hang played Gareth T.'s NO FULL FRONTAL and Louis Koo Tin Lok's DESTINY REIGNS SUPREME on the piano with four hands, which became a hot topic.

She admitted that it had a certain degree of difficulty. "With the earlier piano playing videos, I can't believe I have over a million views. Actually my piano playing has viewers."
