Sean Lau Ching Wan, Ada Choi Siu Fun , Marf Yau Yin Tung, Catherine Chau Ka Yee, Elizabeth Tang To, Hazel Lam Hei Tung and others yesterday shot on location for the Herman Yau Lai To directed new Emperor Motion Picture FOOK SAU DIK YUN (MAN OF VENGEANCE). After a long tie away from Hong Kong films, Ada surprisingly guest starred in order to return a favor. Ada revealed that her daughter was interested in entering the industry. She would support her daughter to choose her own way in the future, but she thought that in comparison to a beauty pageant, forming a girl group for her debut would be even more fun.

Lau Ching Wan recently busy shooting FOOK SAU DIK YUN. He pointed out that because of the rain for several days in a row, the progress of the location shoot has been impacted. He felt that the rain was ok, but this summer has been particularly hot. He could only drink more water to cool off. Has his wife Amy Kwok Oi Ming visit the set with soup? He said, "Occasionally she has."

Yesterday the film was shot at a school at Mid-Levels. Ching Wan revealed that the story mainly had Tang To coming to retrieve her sister's belongings, during which she argued with the teacher and he came to investigate. Would he have any scene with former co-star Ada? Ching Wan said that in the film he and Ada once collaborated to open an internet company, later they argued and stopped working together. They even had hatred between them, but she still asked him to help investigate the case. However they did not share many scenes.

Speaking of working with many new actors this time, Ching Wan praised them for being very serious and fully invested. They quite cherished the performance opportunities, so he hoped that they would have more performance opportunities. Among them he appreciated Tang To more. "She is very certain about what she is going, and she is focused on the set, standby at any time and wouldn't go off somewhere." Has he interacted with the group of new actors? Ching Wan smiled and said, "We have chatted, some very politely have introduced themselves to me. (What would you talk about?) Say hello, that's it. (Have they asked you for advice?) They haven't really asked." Ching Wan revealed that in the film he mainly had dramatic scenes but would also have some action scenes. Earlier he had a bridge jump in Wan Chai, but the stunt double performed it. Ching Wan said that he could perform the stunt personally if necessary, but safety came first.

Speaking of his friend Cheung Tat Ming attending the memorial event of his mentor Cheung King Fai in a wheelchair earlier and looking thin and haggard, Ching Wan revealed that two or three months ago he had with Tat Ming and thought that he was in good spirit. He hoped that he could continue to be healthy, and he has someone to take care of him. Ching Wan also lamented that many elders have passed away this year, which of course were unfortunate but everyone must understand that everyone would go through this process.

Away from Hong Kong film for a long time, Choi Siu Fun has joined the film with a guest performance. She revealed that this time was to repay Director Yau. She said, "Earlier when we made REBELLION (TUNG MOON) the director took great care of me and protected me. I would always remember that. I want to repay the favor." Ada revealed that this time she played the role of a mother, a rich and powerful woman, and like Marf she too was a person of vengeance. Regarding working with Lau Ching Wan again, Ada smiled and said, "Ching Wan is thinner and more handsome, but Ching Wan didn't praise me."

Marf said that she got goose bumps when she first met Ada. "I think that her character itself is scary and has quite a presence, so as soon as I see Ada I feel quite the aura. Although we didn't have any scene together, we both are people of vengeance." Has she taken the opportunity to learn from working with so many elders? She said of course, whether it was the director, the team, or the cast, they all had places worth learning from.

With two daughters, Ada instead had to ask Marf for advice. "My two daughters are teenagers. I have so much I want to ask you. My daughter like to dance K-pop." As for online praise for her elder daughter for her beauty, Ada clarified that the Internet misunderstood. "Actually that one is the younger daughter. The older daughter has gotten prettier too. Neither is too bad, and both are almost as tall as me." Would her daughter be interested in developing in the business? Ada admitted that her daughters would be interested in entering the profession. "Not for beauty pageants, girl group is more fun; but for now they should focus on studying, and I will support them when they choose their paths in the future." Her daughter would share with her guys she liked but knew that they would not be able to date until age 18; Marf admitted that she would not share her feelings with her mother before. Then she came out to work and saw her less, instead they talked more.
