The Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Chung Suet Ying starred new film GOOD TRIP (NGOR AH DEH SEUNG LUI HUNG) was selected for the 24th Hong Kong Asian Film Financing Forum (HAF)'s Work In Progress project. The film would be Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting produced, Norris Wong Yi Lam and Wong Hoi co-directed, and receive a grant of HK$ 9 million from the Hong Kong Film Development Council's "Directors' Succession Scheme" . The film is currently in post-production. Wong Hoi said, "Although the total production cost of our previous films MY PRINCE EDWARD (GUM DOH) and THE LYRICIST WANNABE (TIN CHI L) didn't reach HK$ 9 million, as a filmmaker, of course we want to be perfect. By participating in HAF this time, I hope to receive more support from the funding and listen to the opinions of different industry players."

GOOD TRIP has been in preparation for 5 years, during which it has gone through the pandemic and the passing of one of the producers Alex Law Kai Yui; the year before last, THE LYRICIST WANNABE and PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) were selected for the Udine Far East Film Festival in Italy and accidentally led to Cheung Ka Fai playing the role of a father with cancer and a father-daughter relationship with Chung Suet Ying. Wong Hoi recalled, "Unexpectedly, when we met for the first time, Ka Fai had already expressed that he liked the script very much. He even shared many opinions and short stories with his daughter. Ka Fai mentioned that he and his daughter once traveled to Japan, ate ramen together, sightsaw and played all over, all of which were very sweet memories for him."

Wong Yi Lam revealed that the script has incorporated the story of Cheung Ka Fai and his daughter. "Ka Fai makes it sound extremely romantic, I remember the most in the Japanese travel video, they saw many people in line so they planned to leave together. This type of father and daughter 'sneaking away' feels quite interesting." Wong Hoi said, "After Ka Fai finished talking about this good memory, he then said that his daughter has grown up. Now if he wants to touch her head or arm, she would be pushed away immediately." Because he appreciated the script and knew that the budget was limited, Cheung Ka Fai was willing to reduce his salary to take over the filming. Wong Yi Lam said, "Sister Chung (Cheung Ka Fai's manager Claudie Chung Chun) said that knowing that we are very poor, many 'poor movies' would be produced in her company so we can also collaborate with her."

Wong Hoi said, "Last time Chung Suet Ying only received a very low salary, this time we will give a reasonable pay to respect her as a professional actress. She really deserves more."
