Angela Yuen Lai Lam and Tony Wu Tsz Tung as ambassadors of the film festival, together with Hong Kong International Film Festival Association Chairman Wilfred Wong Ying Wai, presided over the opening ceremony of "50 AND BEYOND: THE HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL GOLDEN JUBILEE EXHIBITION". The exhibition features precious photographs of many film masters, famous directors and Chinese and foreign film stars who have appeared at the festival over the past 50 years, as well as documents, posters, publications and reproductions of cultural relics, etc., to review the half-century development of the festival and relive classic moments. At the event the tribute short film by editor William Chang Suk Ping and scored by musician Oliver Cong Yat Tin, "Movie, What Do You See ——Fifty Years of Light and Shadow Whispers", was also announced for the first time.

Wu Tsz Tung said that many filmmakers started from the bottom but achieved excellence, and savoring their sharing aroused his original intention of being an actor and brought great strength and inspiration to him. He hoped that his golden quotations will also appear in the exhibition in the future. When asked what golden quote he hoped to share at the exhibition in the future? He humbly said that he still needed to work hard, and revealed that his life motto was "perseverance, don't give up easily". Looking back on his transformation from an athlete to the entertainment industry, he laughed and said that he stepped from an unstable environment into an even more unstable field. Since entering the industry after making WEEDS ON FIRE (DIM NG BO) to now, it has been completely "taking a risk" on an adventure. In recent years he has been keeping his mind on show business, baseball and music, he has deeply experienced the solid feeling of "living" on the ball field and the set. He revealed that he has just released a new song "SOLO LEVELING", and will be filming TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG). He has also started playing baseball again, and hoped to hold a concert at the end of the year.

Yuen Lai Lam used the slogan from her movie GAMER GIRLS (DIN GAING NUI HAI) "Knowing you will lose, you still have to fight" as the motto, emphasizing that "losing" did not mean that Hong Kong films really lost but that they were in a difficult stage. Yet the spirit of "no matter what fight first and then talk later" was very important, and the next line was "If you want to fight, you must find a way to win". She believed it was also the common belief of many filmmakers. Regarding the box office of GAMER GIRLS not performing up to expectation, she said that she has been working hard to thank the audience. She admitted that the publicity funds and manpower were limited, and thanked the Internet for making the film gradually attract attention. She also revealed that she will start filming a new film in April, challenging a role she has never tried before. Referring to uploading a piano playing video a few days ago, she said that playing the piano and doing housework could make her feel free; Wu Tsz Tung said that he would also relax by doing housework.
