Ali Lee Kai Sum and Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun yesterday attended the "Comic Con 2026" for the Hong Kong animation production ODIUM ZERO (MO NGAI JI YEUK) press conference. Absent due to work, Simon Yam Tat Wah and Amy Lo Wai Man sent videos to show their support. Lee Kai Sum received the invitation from MY FIRST OF MAY (MO MING JI)'s director James Hung Ling Ching and would provide her voice to the only 16-year- old heroine. She admitted that the performance would be quite difficult because she was accustomed to performing with expression. Now she could only rely on the her voice and could not use the original sound. She would have to both withdraw from and invest in the role, which would not be easy. Did she find her 16 year old voice? "Using the 16 year old voice is easy, but this is an imaginary character. Her world is very pure world with monsters and viruses. It really requires a lot of imagination."

Providing her voice to the animation for the first time, Ali said that the last time she voiced a live-action film was an old movie before she joined TVB. At the time she voiced the role of Lynn Xiong Dilin. When asked if she was scared off the voice acting work so she never contacted it again, Ali said, "Because I didn't know how to use my voice back then, my voice was all hoarse in the end. However I want to challenge again if I would have the chance." Has the dubbing process been smooth? Ali said that she has done it twice. Because there was no complete work at that time, she was providing her voice while discussing with the director and making adjustments.

Having provided his voice to INSIDE OUT 2, Ngai Chun Sun was happy to be able to play a righteous soldier. He said that he deliberately used weathered and husky voice to play the role completely satisfying his "chunibyo" fantasy. "After dubbing I totally lost my voice, but it was a lot of fun. The director asked me to use a weathered and hoarse voice. Since I am very mature myself, I am very happy that the character can use my most sincere voice." He said that this time felt different. Sometimes his voice was too manly and the director would yell cut.

Ali has been rumored to star in the Hong Kong version of "LONG VACATION". She expected to start production in August and September, but still had no official script yet. She said, "Because changes were being made to the script all the time, I want a little more local elements. Of course the role would still follow the original version, but because there was no script yet I didn't prepare for the role." As for whether she would watch at the original version or not to avoid affecting her performance, Ali said that she would still watch this classic again and not worry about the original character would affect her. Ngai Chun Sun also said that he also watched this classic series, and was happy for his friend Edan Lui Cheuk On after learning that he had a role. Referring to his recent driver's test again, Ngai Chun Sun explained, "Before I only had automatic shift license, this time I took the stick shift test twice before passing. It was probably because I was too nervous, and had nothing to do with driving skill." He took the test again purely because he wanted to be "manlier", because his friends all drove manual transmission car. Would he buy a stick shift car? He said," I would. I would communicate with my other half first. I have to have a car first to be able to practice the skills."
