Since the release of the movie NIGHT KING (YEH WONG), its box office has repeatedly reached new heights. As of 8 pm on April 23rd, its box office has exceeded about HK$112 million. In order to celebrate the good results, a celebration banquet was held in Tsim Sha Tsui the night before. Director Jack Ng Wai Ln attended with Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, Renci Yeung Sze Wing, Dee Ho Kai Wah, Siuyea Lo Chun Yip, Sumling Li, Mandy Tam Man Huen, Louise Wong Dan Nei and other actors. Ng Wai Lun said on stage that NIGHT KING was only a few hundred thousand away from surpassing TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING) at the box office and jump to the third place in the Hong Kong Chinese box office list. Wong Tze Wah joked that the director came to "raise funds" and presented a lighter that he has collected for many years to cheer the director on.

Ng Wai Lun and Wong Tze Wah both expressed their delight at the success of NIGHT KING, which was only one step away from breaking the record of A GUILTY CONSCIENCE (DUK SIT DAI JONG). Becoming the box office guarantee in recent years, Wong Tze Wah admitted that he did not expect the box office to be so eye-catching. He said with a smile that if NIGHT KING would successfully reach third place, he would be "running" the top three Chinese film box office in Hong Kong. As for whether he intended to challenge the first place THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK), he responded humorously, "After breaking one dose after another, don't be too greedy. Earlier a master has predicted that we would have a chance." Speaking of whether they would do more to increase the box office, he laughed and said that he did not know what else could be done. He pointed out that many reviews thought that the director's cut was better than the Lunar New Year version, so they let the work speak for itself. Ng Wai Lun laughed and said that if another extended version was to be released, the audience might be upset. He also emphasized that the director's cut was very close to the original script and was the version he was most satisfied with. When would the new film start production? Wong Tze Wah rushed to answer, "Save it for discussion at tonight's celebration. Back then at A GUILTY CONSCIENCE's celebration everyone got drunk and casually spoke, in the end after all the talk we made NIGHT KING."

Sammi Cheng Sau Man would perform concerts at the Kai Tak Stadium. Wong Tze Wah once said that he would consider singing and dancing as a guest. Two nights ago he said that the situation forced him to say that. He did not know whether work would prevent him from supporting her show yet. "I am demanding of myself, but I know that I would definitely sing off key and off beat, dance like I am falling away, and practicing the guitar requires time."

Regarding Yeung Sze Wing's passion scene with Ho Kai Wah and Henry Chan in the director's cut, Ng Wai Lun said that he was used to watching Japanese "love action film" and thought that the 3 person scene was not too intense; but Wong Tze Wah laughed and said that as a viewer and a friend, he felt "very extreme and fiery hot". As for the bed scene with Fish Liew Chi Yu, Wong Tze Wah wanted to thank the director for arranging it to be completed in a dark atmosphere, and stated that if he wanted to shoot a 3 person scene he would "not be OK"; not because of idol baggage, but because he was afraid that the audience would feel sick. He was also happy that the scenes with Sumling Li, Tam Man Huen and Yeung Sze Wing were able see the light of day in the director's cut.

Yeung Sze Wing said that some of her female friends after watching thought that in comparison with Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, Hong Kong's standards were considered conservative. Did she have a bottom line for this type of scenes? She said that whether she could accept a bolder performance would depend on the script and the role. She said with a smile that her scale "often wanders". She admitted that she has been mentally prepared before this filming, after receiving the script the director has already given her "psychological consulting" and Ho Kai Wah took the initiative to contact her and communicate. The set was also cleared during filming. This time could be regarded as the most daring time in her film career. As for whether her boyfriend Owen Cheung Chun Long has seen the director's cut, she avoided the subject and only said that most of her family and classmates have watched it. She thanked them for their support. Recently she in the social platform "extra" used foul language fluently, which she joked that she too was shivering after speaking it. Ho Kai Wah described that that three person scene was one of the most nervous three person scene in his life. Fortunately he has known the co-star for years so communicating was convenient. "Renci said to me with a firm look in her eyes, finish it in one take! Of course we couldn't, since we had to shoot different angles." He admitted that at the time he worked on the kiss scene with Yeung Sze Wing after having "garlic baby bok choy", before the shoot he has studied "love action films" from different places.

Lo Chun Yip and Wong Dan Nei's bed scene appeared in the director's cut. He joked that that day he had to stay up to work overnight. Earlier he and his girlfriend Liew Chi Yu after attending the Hong Kong Film Awards celebration were caught returning to the hotel. He said that the Hong Kong Film Awards nominees were all arranged to have one night stay, but that night they were very tired and just wanted to rest. After consideration he took his girlfriend to celebrate with all you can see durian. Liew Chi Yu's new film BEYOND THE HOSTAGE CRISIS (JAU CHOOK YUN JI SI GEIN) was based on the Hong Kong tourist hostage crisis in Manila and many online were upset. Some even started a boycott. Lo Chun Yip said that discussing the matter would require very serious handling, he believed that for Hong Kong people it would be difficult to explain clearly in just a few words. He did not participate in the film so he was not at liberty to comment too much.

Tam Man Huen and Sumling Li felt that Yeung Sze Wing's three person love scene was as extreme as imagined and fit the plot. Would they consider passion or even all nude performance? Tam Man Huen said that it would depend on the script and the director, the intimate scenes could not force their way into the plot. She pointed out that if the co-star was handsome like Greg Hsu she could accept that. Sumling Li agreed that it would depend on the script and the staff, saying that she really liked LUST, CAUTION (SIK, GAI)'s Tony Leung Chiu Wai. If he was her co-star she would consider it. "The range could be as high as Leung Chiu Wai and as low as Leung Yip (Fatboy)."
