The movie version BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) was released on December 31, 2025. As of April 6, 2026 its cumulative box office in Hong Kong and Macau has reached 97,654,962 (Hong Kong dollars, the same below). Its group of leading actors Louis Koo Tin Lok, Raymond Lam Fung, Sonija Kwok Sin Nei, Joyce Tang Lai Ming, Kevin Chu Kam Yin, etc., went to the theater the night before to attend the BACK TO THE PAST PLUS+ (CHUM CHUN GEI PLUS+ DOR YUEN YU JAU BAN) audience appreciation screening. After that, near the early hours of the morning, Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) and Jimmy Au Sui Wai also returned to the team to attend the BACK TO THE PAST Silver Screen × Small Screen Combination Watching TV Series Finale Meeting". Hundreds of fans gathered at the shopping center in the early morning to watch the finale of the drama version A STEP INTO THE BACK together. When the drama reached the Lam Fung played Chiu Poon achieving complete victory and declared with dominance that his world would last ten thousand lifetimes and ages without end, the live audience all screamed, "Hail, Hail, Long Live the Emperor". Koo Tin Lok and Kwok Sin Nei were so moved by the enthusiasm of the audience that they could not help but cry.

In the interactive chat session, the emcee C Kwan invited Suen Huen to reenact the classic acupuncture point scene on the spot, only to see her tapping left and right on Koo Tin Lok's shoulder. The fans immediately cheered. After that Koo Tin Lok also took the opportunity to "retaliate", jokingly asking the audience if they wanted to see him stun Suen Huen. He even joked, "How much fun have you had with the poking?" Finally Koo Tin Lok stretched out his hand to poke Suen Huen's back, and the scene was funny. Another climax was the scene where Tang Lai Ming and Koo Tin Lok reenacted the scene in the finale where "Sin Yau" lay on the chest of "Hong Siu Lung", and Tang Lai Ming even took the opportunity to say what the character did not say back then, "Actually I really want you to ask me to stay!" Later the emcee Lok Wing pulled Au Sui Wai on stage again and arranged for Au Sui Wai, who has kissed Koo Tin Lok in the "Plus+ Multiverse Version", to lie on his chest. Au Sui Wai immediately played coy and said, "Now what, I've been taken care of!" and caused the audience to burst into laughter.

At the end of the event, the leading actors revealed their true feelings. Suen Huen emotionally said to the audience, "You think we have brought you a lot of happiness. Actually we have seen your reactions, support and sharing in the past few months, and you have brought us a very happy feeling. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to experience this in my life." Kwok Sin Nei was even more moved to tears, she said, "I made my first drama 25 years ago. Many things have changed after 25 years, but everyone seems to be unchanged. I am really touched." In order to thank the audience for their support, the actors finally sang DESTINY REIGNS SUPREME with the audience and set off a memory kill. Koo Tin Lok then sang the new song "The Great Scam of the Century", and Lam Fung presented the classic song "Love is Looking for You in Memory" to celebrate, bringing the night to a successful end.

Koo Tin Lok said that this should be the last audience appreciation event for the movie BACK TO THE PAST, because since January 1st he has been thanking the audience to now. He joked, "Should I thank the audience all the way past Duen Ng (Festival)! If you can thank past Christmas I would call you talented. That would really be great!" Yet the box office was still more than 2 million short of breaking 100 million? He also hoped that the audience would continue to support them, since they have been doing their jobs. He also revealed that he has been watching the drama A STEP INTO THE PAST at night, and joked that when he reached episode 39 and all the bad guys were still alive, he thought he was watching the wrong show.

Tang Lai Ming has watched many finale with the audience, but this was the first time with the audience in the early morning. "In order to watch the finale this time, I watched all 39 episodes at home two days before. My husband happened to go skiing again and was not at home." The reporter asked if she accidentally exposed her duplex mansion on the Internet? Kwok Sin Nei said that she also saw it, and praised her mansion as very pretty. Tang Lai Ming said with a smile, "It's just a place in the country!" Koo Tin Lok and Kwok Sin Nei said that when they were at TVB, watching the finale with the audience was not popular yet. Koo Tin Lok pointed out that he also watched the drama A STEP INTO THE PAST again. Kwok Sin Nei recalled that her first day of work was the final scene when she was pregnant. Many people asked her where the child in her womb went, and she asked Koo Tin Lok for the answer on the spot the night before. Koo Tin Lok responded with a smile, "There will be an explanation later!"

Koo Tin Lok was about to start filming the movie TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER, but since he has not recovered from his earlier eye ailment would it have any impact? Koo Tin Lok said it would have no effect. Kwok Sin Nei immediately suggested, "You can wear glasses for the shoot. I have seen the movie and it's good. I feel that you are very uncle, but I like it very much." Koo Tin Lok rolled his eyes and said, "For continuity of course I would have to wear glasses. I have no reason to wear contact lenses this time. Do you really like Uncle? But I'm not an uncle!" Regarding his new song "The Great Scam of the Century" topping a certain sales chart as the champion, he said that he did not even know it. This time his cat also connects the whole story in the new song. Kwok Sin Nei asked again why it was a black cat. Now she knew that many people used black cats to represent Louis Koo, but she did not understand why. Goo Jai joked, "Now you know that it is a black cat, that's so impressive, you can go to the park and ask those uncles!"

Tang Lai Ming has been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for "Best Supporting Actress" for BACK TO THE PAST. The reporter asked her if she would attend the awards ceremony with her husband? She laughed and said, "No, I was also thinking that if I won the award, should I hug my husband or Koo Tin Lok? Finally I decided to hug Boss Koo, so my husband won't appear."

TVB has been accused for forcing all of its artists to hand over social platform accounts and passwords to put "central management" into practice. Tang Lai Ming said that she did not have a manager contract, it had nothing to do with her so she has not thought about any impact. Lam Fung was no longer at TVB, has not gotten an understanding of the matter so he declined to comment. However he believed that TVB might its own set of standards, and that every company would fight for the best platform and benefits for its artists. Did he feel that this move would make artists lose privacy? He said, "Artists are on the public layer, I estimate that joint management would have its own considerations."

Lam Fung said with a smile that he has only tried countdown activities before, but has never watched the finale of the series with fans at the shopping center at late night. "This time it's pretty outrageous. I remember the last time I watched the ending was HEART OF GREED! I was a little surprised when I received the notification for this event." Speaking of BACK TO THE PAST nearing HK$ 100 million at the box office, Lam Fung hoped to be able to get another push to reach the goal. He also did not expect that he would still be thanking the audience three months after the movie's release, but it would probably also be the last time to thank the audience for him because he would have to prepare to start working on a new film.

Lam Fung would participate in TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG). He has been training for a month already, and he also needed to get a tan for the role "Chan Lok Kwan", but due to time constraints he could only rely on the lamp. The rest of the time was left for stunt training. Lam Fung revealed that he has always had old injuries from past shoots, and however much he would be able to recover before filming started would be it. "I had some problems with my right foot going up and down the stairs before, so I went to get a knee scan. The cruciate ligament has recovered, but the 'pineapple cover' (patella) had a hole, which was the spot that absorbed the impact. Because I didn't know the last time I got hurt, nothing could probably be done. I relied on taking painkillers, and injecting the 'gel' helped a little!" He lamented that he did not understand much before, did not deal with injuries and never recovered; so he advised Chu Kam Yin to pay attention. Chu Kam Yin used to be a representative of the Hong Kong swimming team. He said that when he was an athlete, he had a record of injuries and strains on his shoulders, neck and waist, but he has recovered and understood that he should warm up and stretch before exercise.
