The movie COLD WAR 1994 (HONG JING 1994) is scheduled to be released on May 1st. Yesterday director Longman Leung Lok Man led the actors Terrance Lau Chun Him, Louise Wong Dan Nei, Kevin Chu Kam Yin, Mandy Tam Man Huen and Dee Ho Kai Wah to attend the film launch ceremony, and announced that COLD WAR will return to the screen starting April 16th and COLD WAR 2 will starting April 23th. The ticket price for watching the COLD WAR film series re-release series will be set at $30 (Hong Kong dollars, the same below), the ticket price in local theaters in 1994. The audience would able to enter the COLD WAR world, relive the plot of the first two installments and then enjoy the new film.

Regarding the film company's re-release of two installments of COLD WAR, Lau Chun Him said that the price was set at the 1994 cinema ticket price of HK$ 30. It was a very interesting concept, but he was only 6 years old at the time. When he was a child though, his parents often took him and his sister to the theater to watch movies. He has already watched the first two installments for his performance earlier, and if he had time, he would definitely go to the theater to support them again. Speaking of his box office expectations, Lau Chun Him said that he would leave it to the audience and would only face it normally.

Lau Chun Him n the film played the organized crime unit chief superintendent Lee Man Bun in his youth. Wong Dan Nei played a mob boss Yuen Yeuk Lan. Because both were swept up in a kidnapping case, both sides of the law had to team up to protect their important figures. Yet will he feel pressured from superstars Chow Yun Fat, Aaron Kwok Kwok Fu Sing, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Louis Koo Tin Lok gathered to support him as the protagonist this time? He said, "The team is so warm, no one has put pressure on me, and I didn't feel pressured. I just focused on doing a good job and sending a good movie to everyone. However, after half a year of filming, gunfights, fights in the rain, and car chases were very physically exhausting. I was really relieved after filming!" Currently writing a screenplay, Lau Chung Him received "Lee Man Bun" Leung Ka Fai's promise of HK$ 2 salary to support him if the role would be suitable. "I am coming up with ideas, I want to work with Leung Ka Fai." As for whether he would direct and star himself, he said that it would be a secret.

Working with Wong Dan Nei again this time after ANITA (MUI YIM FONG), Lau Chun Him said with a smile that it was already 8 years ago, and he was approaching 40 years old. Looking back at when everyone was still "young", they did not think so far ahead. Now he felt that Wong Dan Nei has become much more mature. For this collaboration, they both had to accept action training that included holding a gun. Lau Chun Him revealed that Wong Dan Nei was the most accurate shooter among everyone. Wong Dan Nei said, "Everyone is working very hard, in more than two months of training, Ah Him's body is highly flexible, and picks it up easier. My muscles and bones are relatively stiff, I have to keep stretching to try to catch up. In addition it is my first action movie. the gunfight scenes are so intense, but the shooting is so modern and the whole team is also very happy." She also said that because of her sufficient training, she must first not hurt other actors and also learned to protect herself from it. She was not injured, but while wielding weapons minor bumps and bruises were inevitable. Of course their own halves would worry about them. Their other halves also always reminded them to be careful during action scenes. Lau Chun Him said that his wife Cecilia Choi Sze Wan was working overseas and could not return to Hong Kong in time to support the premiere ceremony. Wong Dan Nei also pointed out that her husband Sheldon Lo (Law Hau Yung) was still in Australia, but believed that he will support her in another way.

Tam Man Huen received firearms training for 3 months. During the training she heard real gunfire for the first time and her ears went deaf for a moment. She also pointed out that her finger strength was poor when firing the gun, and often used a water spray can to strengthen it at home. Fortunately the result passed in the test, as during the official shoot she was able to open fire without blinking. Chu Kam Yin played the role of a member of the organized crime unit and had action and chase scenes, but the most memorable was an interrogation torture scene. The performance required a battle of brains and brawn.

Music groups ERROR member Dee Ho Kai Wah, MIRROR member Lokman Yeung and Stanley Yau Si Chun also participated in the performance of COLD WAR 1994. They had to receive action and gun training first. Dee played an undercover cop but had no use for the training, as he had to show off his "financial skills". He joked that profit in the film would become loss in reality. The film had a lot of informational dialogues he had to memorize, so it had a certain degree of difficulty; but he also enjoyed the filming process. The film company arranged to re- release two installments of COLD WAR at a ticket price of HK$ 30, which he joked that was an anti-inflationary approach. After watching 3 movies, the prices would be equivalent to a discount so they would be quite worth watching.

As for new ERROR projects, he said that they have been discussed. He has already surpassed the planning, but the company was taking it slow so he believed that Heaven would arrange for path for them. His group mate Poki Ng recently revealed that he had depression on social network. He said that he has always been concerned about Poki and felt that Poki taking the first step and talk about his thoughts was a good thing. "I have already said many words of concern. Earlier I really took him to see a doctor. Actually depression is very common, many city people have it. Maybe in this business it is magnified, I feel his use of running to treat himself is also a good thing. If he wants me to run with him though, then it would be my turn to be depressed."
