MISCELLANEOUS * (2022/08/31) Dayo Wong Tze Wa, Stephy Tang Lai Yan and Lin Minchen two nights ago attended the film TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM) premiere. One of the investors Louis Koo Tin Lok even made a special appearance. Speaking of the recent good performance from Hong Kong films, Tze Wa hoped that TABLE would be the same. Although he was concerned that the pandemic would affect the box office, he felt that Hong Kong already had a lot of experience. He hoped that this time the pandemic would be under control. The event first arranged for the actors to present gifts to Tze Wa for his September 5th birthday. Stephy presented her hand drawn artwork, Fish Liew Chi Yu presented red eggs, director Sunny Chan Wing Sun presented the TABLE FOR SIX sequel synopsis. Tze Wa was very excited. One of the investors Koo Tin Lok also called for everyone to support TABLE as a special guest. The host mentioned, "WARRIORS OF FUTURE too". Koo Tin awkwardly said, "Don't mention WARRIORS OF FUTURE." Currently performing in a play, Tze Wa two days ago was off. How would he celebrate his 62nd birthday? He said, "Rest is already the greatest celebration." He was even happier bout finally being able to enjoy TABLE. Stephy said that she has already seen it three times, but she still looked forward to it. Speaking of the recent Hong Kong films' decent box office showing, Tze Wa was asked if he had any confidence? He said, "Let's wish that their luck would include us. (Are you worried about the pandemic's effect on the box office?) Concern is definite, I feel that this time everyone would be able to control it. Everyone already have a lot of experience. Actually as long as everyone are a little more united and a little more careful, we would know how we should control it." Would he work on the sequel? Tze Wa said that if there would be a sequel he would definitely participate. Stephy and Lin Minchen also looked forward to the sequel. His play has been added to 50 shows, Tze Wa said, "I hope more people would be able to watch good performance. Actually three days earlier I was already done. So today I get to come and watch. I am very happy." Ah Chung in October would perform a series of concerts. With ticket debts all over he said that he would not add more shows. As the number of positive cases continued to rise, he pointed out that no one would be unconcerned with the box office. He hoped that the government would understand that every business has withstand the pandemic for a long time already. He also pointed out that Hong Kong people have very high pandemic prevention awareness, and he hoped to be able to find a balance with health. Speaking of his ViuTV series release being postponed, he as an actor would respect the production team's decision and wished for recovery for all those injured. He pointed out that other young people would require time to recover. He felt that one day the show would air, and he believed that everyone would have a lot of fun from watching it. Ivana Wong Yuen Chi two days ago was off from her play. She said that her show was already sold out. Due to the venue schedule she would not be able to add shows. She has thought about a sequel but she also wanted to try something new. She wanted to work with Cheung Kai Chung on a play. Ah Chung said that his wife Kay Tse On Kay had great things to say after watching Ivana's show. He also called Ivana "Sister Chi", pointing out that she was the drama world's Koo Tin Lok. If he would be invited it would be his honor. Ivana hoped that WARRIORS OF FUTURE and TABLE FOR SIX would ask her back for the sequels She hoped to be able to make up for investing in her play. * (2022/08/31) The Hong Kong science fiction film WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) from today to September 14 would hold a film exhibit at the Causeway Bay Fashion Walk with the film's costumes and props on display, including the Number 26 exosuit armor that Louis Koo Tin Lok wore in the film, the biometric ammo box and the H8 bomb as well as the story board and the hand drawn poster visual artist Li Chi Tat created for the film, and the over 60,000 piece Lego 1:1 scale exosuit. The film theme song TOMORROW OF TOMORROW's performers ANSONBEAN and COLLAR member Winka had a first look at the exhibit. They were very excited to see the costumes and the props that appeared in the film. Winka felt that they were incredible. She never thought that the film company would properly preserve the film's important props, or even have the chance to see the armor and guns that Koo Tin Lok used up close. She joked that she kept taking photos and unwilling to put down the prop gun. ANSONBEAN's favorite was the gene bullet, praising how detailed it was made. It had a realistic weight, and he sensed how heavy it would have been on the actors. He joked that in his hands he immediately got into character and felt like he was a part of the film. * (2022/08/30) The film WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) after 4 days in release passed the HK$ 20 million mark as of two days ago (the 28th) with HK$ 21,711,526. Two days ago its single day Hong Kong box office even reached HK$ 6 million. WARRIORS OF FUTURE received the audience support. The film's producer and star Louis Koo Tin Lok two days ago along with director Ng Yuen Fai, actors Philip Keung Ho Man, Ng Siu Hin, and the film theme song TOMORROW OF TOMORROW's performers ANSONBEAN and Winka@COLLAR, visited many cinemas for audience appreciation events, personally thanked viewers who went to see WARRIORS OF FUTURE. Johnnie To Kei Fung even booked a show to support the film. Sammo Hung Kam Bo, Lam Suet and others also personally showed their support. Goo Jai and director Ng Yuen Fai before the audience appreciation event even opened bottles of champagne to celebrate. Goo Jai joked, "It's like a concert. Thank you everyone for your support, here I thank so many Mrs. Koo. I hope everyone would like this movie, please watch it a few more times." Goo Jai introduced Big Brother Big Hung Kam Bo as his next film BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI)'s martial art director. He even gave special thanks to To Kei Fung. "The birth of WARRIORS OF FUTURE more or less was related to To Sir, because of what he said I started my own company. At the time it didn't start as a film company but as a special effects company. One day after we went to dinner after a film festival, he said to me, 'we have to make Hong Kong movies that belong to us, movies that would rely on special effects.'" At the time Goo Jai was stunned after hearing, thinking that filmmaking has never used special effects but To Sir instead said that future movies must have special effects, then started step by step to today. Goo Jai sincerely said, "Thank you To Sir." To Kei Fung added, "I indeed felt that future movies would have a lot of variety, especially in special effect development they would be endless. On the silver screen many things that no one would expect would appear." * (2022/08/28) Cecilia So Lai Shan on the first day of work for the film TALES FROM THE OCCULT (SUT HUNG HUNG GAN) segment DEAD MALL (SEI CHEUNG) had to change clothes in front of everyone and felt embarrassed. Jerry Lamb Hiu Fung demonstrated his expertise in long distance running, as he ran all over the entire shopping center. Ah Lo and So Lai Shan in the film turned into online personalities, one hired extras to play customers to promote the shopping center, the other revealed that the shopping center was haunted. Late at night when the place was empty, Ah Lo suspected that a ghost was chasing him. "Ghost hunting online personality" So Lai Shan followed with a live stream as they began a chase at the shopping center. All hot and bothered from running, Ah Lo described the scene like running a marathon. "I ran all over the entire shopping center, half a marathon. We bolted at the shopping center, but my shoes were very slippery. So only the upper half of the body was pretending to be running very fast, but the legs were actually speed walking as I was afraid of slipping." This time not only demonstrated Ah Lo's long distance running expertise but also his oral skills. He played a silver tongued online personality, directing and starring a crowd at the shopping center. As soon as he spoke he delivered several pages of dialogues, even So Lai Shan applauded in amazement. In the film So Lai Shan changed her past usual nice girl image, wearing a white wig and even changing clothes and make up in front of everyone. She said, "The first scene was when I appeared, I had to remove my hat, mask and clothes in a short time and fold them into my backpack, then take out a camera, turn on the lights and selfie. I saw all the other actors on the set and everyone was staring me to wait for me to perform a series of action then deliver my lines. I really was very nervous, because the shoot schedule was very intense. I was very afraid of missing something and make everyone start over with a bad take, the stress was tremendous. I am very grateful to the editor for the help." After completing the scene successfully she said, "I would never guess that I would take off my clothes in front of so many people on the first day of work, it really was a little embarrassing!" * (2022/08/28) ANSONBEAN yesterday with COLLAR member Winka attended the film WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI)'s promotional event. They not only performed the movie theme song live, but also played games with fans. At the rare accident at the Hong Kong Coliseum concert, the injured dancer Ah Mo's girlfriend is the group COLLAR's SoChing. Winka earlier appeared at the film premiere with a low profile. Yesterday she was in great spirits, often waving to fans and presenting "hearts". Winka was asked how she felt about being inviting to perform the film theme song. She said that at first she thought it was a prank and she did not dare to believe it, then she received the demo song and she finally believed it was true. "It is a very rare opportunity, but I am very nervous because I worry that I wouldn't perform well." Winka said that if she would have the chance to participate in a science fiction film, she would like to play a female killer the most. Because normally she liked to laugh too much, she wanted to play a character that was a little cooler. Because Winka declined media interviews, ANSONBEAN had to shoulder the promotional duties alone. He said that it was regrettable but he understood, and he would promote more online with her. ANSONBEAN said that he chatted with Winka before and after events, feeling that she was in decent spirit. He too knew dancer Ah Mo. Although they were not considered close, he still wish an early recovery for him. ANSONBEAN on the stage revealed that he would like to play the villain. He explained, "I feel as the villain I would have even more action scene, the best would be using all the weapons. Even if I have to have ugly make up, shorten my brows I still would be fine." He could offer his services to the boss when the production would begin, ANSONBEAN said that he would consider it because he truly longed to perform in an action film. * (2022/08/27) The HK$ 450 million science fiction film WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) officially opened in Hong Kong two days ago and made HK$ 3,667,655 on its opening day and instantly became the "2022 Chinese film opening day box office champion". As for 2:30 PM two days ago, its box office already reached HK$ 1,848,708. WARRIORS with the past advanced screenings and opening day box office even reached HK$ 5,888,889. As of yesterday 11 AM, the cumulative box office broke HK$ 7.5 million. WARRIORS OF FUTURE received the audience's practical support at the movies, so producer and star Louis Koo Tin Lok early yesterday morning created a video to thank the viewers for going to the movies and support the film. Goo Jai said, "WARRIORS OF FUTURE opened in Hong Kong already broke the record at 2:30 PM (August 25th) to become the 2022 Chinese film opening day box office champion, thank you very much everyone for supporting WARRIORS OF FUTURE. I hope that you can recommend it to friends, family and go and watch WARRIORS OF FUTURE together. We will fight shoulder to shoulder, thank you everyone for your support." In addition, Koo Tin Lok and the other lead actor Sean Lau Ching Wan were guests on the ViuTV program THE POPCORN SHOW. About online comments that said because of his past good deeds people would support WARRIORS. He felt that how he was as a person had nothing to do with the film. He hope that no one would mix them together and that viewers would go to enjoy the movie, because the production process was very difficult, cost a lot of money and took a long time. However he still thanked everyone for his review. * (2022/08/26) The Ng Yuen Fai directed, Louis Koo Tin Lok produced and starred WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) opened yesterday, as of 5 PM the box office was already near HK$ 2.6 million to become the 2022 Chinese film opening box office champion. With the ideal opening box office, Ng Yuen Fai and Koo Tin Lok conceivably would feel encouraged. As for some viewers comparing the film with Hollywood science fiction films, Ng Yuen Fai felt that it was inevitable and said that Hollywood science fiction films had more money and more people. WARRIORS OF FUTURE won with the courage to take the first step. "Domestic special effects have already greatly improved, from being criticized as low quality and unrealistic, to now no one already questioning them." The HK$ 450 million Hong Kong science fiction production WARRIORS OF FUTURE yesterday opened, in half a day its box office was almost HK$ 2.6 million to become this year's Chinese film opening box office champion. Hong Kong films of the same period also performed decently. The Teresa Mo Shun Kwan and Keung To starred MAMA'S AFFAIR (AH MA YAU JOR DAI YI GOR) after 14 days in release (as for August 24th) made over HK$ 23 million. The Amos Why directed, Kaki Sham and Jennifer Yu Heung Ying starred FAR FAR AWAY (YUEN LO SHAN KA LA) also grew stronger as time went on, with a currently cumulative box office of over HK$ 6.7 million. For a HK$ 2.7 million low budget production, the boss has already broken even. WARRIORS OF FUTURE's director Ng Yuen Fai was the visual effect director for many films, with THE STORM WARRIORS (FUNG WON II), THE WARLORDS (TAU MING JONG) and RE-CYCLE (GWAI WIK) won the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Visual Effects three times. He has always wanted to direct and make a movie that belonged to him. Then he met Koo Tin Lok, and together they created this science fiction action film. During the process because of a massive amount of computer graphics effects that he excelled at, under Goo Jai's encouragement his director dream was fulfilled. Although he had HK$ 450 million to spend at will, Ng Yuen Fai said that the pressure was large as well. He was not worried about breaking even, but using almost 600 people at work everyday would create many problems. Everyday he kept resolving problems great and small. At the same time the film involved science fiction elements that rarely appeared in Hong Kong film. How to grasp the level of reaching the ideal was just a big of a challenge. Ng Yuen Fai said, "Actually 'science fiction' is a subject, inside can sci fi action, sci fi suspense, sci fi romance and others. As long as the words sci fi were added, everyone would feel that the matter would become complicated. This was also the reason that kept many directors at bay, feeling that they would die just from contact. The science fiction subject seemed very far from Hong Kong films. How to turn science fiction elements into our elements, as Goo Jai has said, we must take the first step to be able to expand the Hong Kong film's creative space. Thus we had a sense of duty. Actually Hong Kong filmmakers have very strong creativity, only their skill level had a natural ceiling. After passing it they would have infinitive space for imagination." First time director Ng Yuen Fai felt that the most difficult was how to express what he and Goo Jai discussed for two years and wanted in their hearts, and for the team and the cast to be able to correctly bring to life. In the end in order to make the actors not tow work with green screens just with their imagination, he asked comic creator Li Chi Tat to make the storyboard, then the special effect team produced animation for the actors to study so they would have an idea. Thus the production went very smooth. Li Chi Tat said that this time drawing a science fiction film was rather complicated. The film company wanted to turn the film into animation for release, but just the armor already had many detailed spots. He said that turning it into animation may take even more time than making a movie. Ng Yuen Fai said that in order to save time built a Central street scene in a very large venue and used many teams to shoot simultaneously. However the actors suffered in 33 pound armors in the scorching heat. After one scene they had to rush to another immediately and almost passed out from the shoot. After each time Goo Jai and Lau Ching Wan wanted to remove their armors for their breaks, but they took a long times. In order to avoid wasting time they could only tough it out and wear it for the whole day. Ng Yuen Fai in 1996 joined the John Chu Ka Yan founded Centro Digital Pictures and worked on movie special effects until now. He felt that Hong Kong's special effect quality has become much higher, only losing on the lack of personnel and money. He expected the audience would compare WARRIORS OF FUTURE with Hollywood science fiction films, but he still had to take the first step. He said, "The comparison with Hollywood was inevitable, because science fiction films were born in Hollywood. Since childhood, aside from watching Japanese anime we have been watching Hollywood science fiction films. As for how far off Hong Kong special effects are from Hollywood's, I can only say that it isn't as industrialized as Hollywood. Their company has thousands of people, ours only have 100 people. The entire special effect industry has about 500 people. Even together we don't have as many people as one of their company, so the comparison would be very difficult. During conception, Goo Jai asked not to imitate Hollywood films. (Some viewers felt the armor looked like Iron Man?) Actually it doesn't, we thought by logic. Goo Jai and Lau Ching Wan's armors might be future military equipment. (Some viewers felt that the visual was not high definition enough. Was that due to creating the life after death effect, or to cover up the shortcomings?) I am very demanding with visual effects, this is my designs and style." As for WARRIORS OF FUTURE making over 500 million RMB at the Mainland box office in an average performance, he said that he was not discouraged from it because not everyone would like science fiction film. As long as he gave his all, he gained the experience and then would keep on going forward. Of course he would like the Mainland box office to improve. Goo Jai said that he was made of steel and could not be killed? He joked, "I am at least made of iron, both Goo Jai's and I are people who go against the stream. I expect the journey ahead would be difficult, and some would criticize. The most important would be getting past myself." * (2022/08/26) The band Nowhere Boys' lead vocalist Van Chan Wai Lok looked cool as he rocked the stage, but he in the Wesley Hoi (Hui Yip Sun) directed TALES FROM THE OCCULT (SUT HUNG HUNG GAN)'s story THE CHINK (UM GOK), his image made an 180 degree turn. With hair all over, sloppy clothing and a pair of dark eye circles, his appearance sent chills through the lead actress Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling. Van laughed when asked about his appearance. "This look of me isn't make up, it's actually the real me. Normally on the stage with the band I was very cool and very neat, which actually were the effort of the designers, the hairstylists and the make up artists. this time the make up artist said that I brought my own dark circles around my eyes and saved a lot of make up time." In one scene Van cried out of control, amid the chaos he fell from the balcony. With almost zero on screen performance experience, Van on his first day of work performed the building jump scene. He attentively listened to the director's and the action director's demands, and repeatedly practiced the jump. Before the official shoot, he originally asked for a minute from the director to listen to a song that would definitely make him cry on his phone to cultivate his emotions. In the end he used less than a minute to get into character, he only needed two takes before the director accepted them. Lead actress Ngan Cheuk Ling also performed professionally. Van said, "In one scene Ngan Cheuk Ling had to squat in a very small space. From testing the mark, rehearsing, to the official shoot, she squatted for over half a hour and her legs were shaking. In between I asked her to sit on the ground and rest, but she wanted to let the lighting technicians and the cinematographers get a clear shot of the spot. She was afraid that if she sat down the mark would be wrong. She was very professional, which made me admire her very much." Working with Van for the first time, Ngan Cheuk Ling pointed out that he was a music maker with a sense of humor and a seriousness at work. She said, "Our segment was titled THE CHINK, that dark corner really was very narrow. We each silently entered our roles." She said that she thanked director Hui Yip Sun for his trust, letting her to perform to her heart's desire. * (2022/08/25) Jennifer Yu Heung Ying revealed that recently she has been busy with a new film production and offered to perform without make up to the director. "I have always wanted to work on interpersonal relationship scenes, I have waited for a very long time! I believe in the laws of attractive, like earlier I wanted (Fish) Liew Chi Yu to win the Hong Kong Film Award. I thought and thought and it was successful, I couldn't believe this time was that way too." Although she has a young daughter, she still had career ambitions. Next month she would head to Korea to represent her film PRETTY HEART (SUM LUI MEI) at a film festival. "I would only go for two days, after work I would immediately fly back. Now the quarantine period is 3 days, so the schedule would permit it. At most I would have video chat with my daughter. I asked my husband if he wanted to go, but he offered to stay home with our daughter!" In November she would have to fly to the U.S. for work, as she hoped to try to be able to take care of her family and career as much as possible. * (2022/08/25) Kara Wai Ying Hung and Hugo Goh (Ng Toi Yung) played a vision impaired couple in the film based on a true story, SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE (YUT LO TUNG HUNG). For the role, Wai Ying Hung was very serious with her costume and pre production preparations. Aside from working without make up and dying her hair white, with her dry eyes she also offered to wear special contact lenses to turn her eyes white and look more like a vision impaired person. She said, "In the past few decades I have never worn contact lenses for a movie because they have certain danger, but as an actor sometimes I would have to make the sacrifice and give it a try." She admitted that the contact lenses sometimes would scratch her eyes and turn them red. "I have always been applying eye drops and hoped to be able to tough out this period." Ng Toi Yung went to a blind masseuse for research. In the end their performance was very successful, received praises from the director and the viewers at advanced screenings. * (2022/08/25) Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) in the film TRIVISA (SHU DAI CHIU FUNG) played robber Yip Kwok Foon with a flat top. Earlier he again appeared with a flat top for the Fung Chih Chiang directed story THE TENEMENT in the film TALES FROM THE OCCULT (SUT HUNG HUNG GAN) and played a just released from prison mobster. Siu Chai in the film wore a white tank top, carried a butcher knife, and battled seven enemies in the back alley. After a short time they all became lost souls under his blade. To add the effect, the crew used a welder to create sparks and even set up racks for wire work to display Siu Chai's "blade work". Some enemies flew from his attacks. Due to the certain level of danger, after the shoot Siu Chai immediately comforted many action actors who fell to the ground. He was very thoughtful. As viewers thought Siu Chai as the mobster was cold, cruel and able to kill at the blink of an eye, the bloody scene was just a "misunderstanding'. In the same place, everyone carried butcher knives to fight each other. Only Yam Yin Chai fearfully hid between two giant trash cans. After the battle ended he quietly left the scene. Siu Chai said, "This film really is a lot of fun. In the story darkness is everyone's hearts. When someone face their weakness in their heart, that fear would suddenly erupt. It may be very funny, it may be nonsensical, but you would be very scary. With the story having suspense and thrills all in one, the content is very rich. You have to go to the movies to watch it!" Actually Siu Chai had quite a history with tenements. He said that he has known director Fung Chih Chiang for many years. He was very excited to work on THE TENEMENT. "The first time I came to Hong Kong to make a movie I shot on location at the tenement, the space, stairway and the unit divisions all gave people an indescribable sense of pressure." In addition, Siu Chai also praised lead actress Sofiee Ng Hoi Yan's performance. "When I saw the script I was surprised by how difficult the female lead role would be, with a personality inside and outside. The grasp of the pace would have to be great for the story to be able to progress successfully. On the first day when I saw Ng Hoi Yan I told her 'It's all up to you!' She worked very hard and performed very well." * (2022/08/25) The HK$ 450 million science fiction film WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) today opens in Hong Kong. Two leads Louis Koo Tin Lok and Sean Lau Ching Wan talked about the joy and the pain of the performance. They both were injured due to the shoot, but they still felt the film was worth it. In the film Goo Jai and Ching Wan both needed to wear 33 pound armors for the shoot. In the scorching heat they performed a series of action performance. Goo Jai said that the armor took half a hour to put on, so he did not even dare to go to the bathroom. In addition he wore wires along with the armor, after completing the shoot he lost almost 10 pounds. Ching Wan said that the tough shoot made him thinner as well, but the worst was being injured early in the shoot. "It was a scene in which I jumped around the wires in an armor, my right leg landed a little faster and caused the bottom of my foot to be injured. Because after the injury I still had to continue to shoot, it took 9 months to heal." As for Goo Jai he said that during the shoot he did not notice, but two years later he went to the U.S. for a major operation to put titanium on his cervical vertebrae. He recalled when the doctor found out he was an actor he was asked he suffered impact from constantly working on fight scenes, because in the U.S. most cases were from Super Bowl athletes. Goo Jai said, "As people get older the cervical vertebrae could easily be dislocated without the 'jelly' in the space between them. I am not 60 or 70 yet, usually it is because of great impact. So I could only think of two years ago when wearing the armor everyday constantly put pressure on the nerves!" Was the sacrifice enormous? Goo Jai said, "It could happen to anyone, the difference is how serious it is. The doctor once asked me my pain level between 1 to 10, mine is at a 10. Even I slept I couldn't turn. I could only sleep in one position. At first it hurts, but it hurt for awhile then not. Later the hurt was long term and I had to take morphine to stop it!" Ching Wan after a few "wow" said, "No wonder at the time your face were frowning, I didn't know what you were worrying about!" Goo Jai said, "Nothing, after the operation I have recovered. The funniest is before the operation when I lay in the bed the anesthesiologist asked me to sign a document, when I was almost out the anesthesiologist said I had another to sign. I thought I was signing my will so I was very scared, but actually it said that during the operation they found another vertebrae that needed to done and I had to give them permission to do it. Finally I had two titanium on two cervical vertebra." Ching Wan joked that his neck was now properly very "stiff", and like a robot he would not need to sleep. Would Goo Jai no longer dare to make this type of movies again? Goo Jai said that next time with the sequel it would be drawn with special effects like in foreign films, I wouldn't even need to wear clothes. This time he only wanted to let the actor feel how the exosuit felt. Ching Wan joked, "That suit itself was said to motion assistance, but currently it doesn't actually have motion assistance. However when I made DETECTIVE VS. SLEUTHS (SUN TAM DAI JIN) I wore 7 layers of clothes. The difficulty level of the two films didn't just soaked my underwear, but this time was a new experience. There were a lot I haven't seen before, very different from what I imagined and I gained more knowledge. After watching the film I finally realized what the monster looked like, so I think I would make another science fiction film." Goo Jai this time completed his romance with science fiction. He admitted that the production took a lot out of him, because from preparation, production to post production the film took 6 years time. In it many large scale sets used trailers to build, the shoot once even ran out of green screen. Another time the wind knocked off the trailers and they had to be built anew, which gave him quite a "headache" and almost split his mind. "Big productions can't have the slightest mishap, but I never thought about giving up. You have to take the first step before you can easily take the second." Goo Jai also hinted that he liked aliens. This time near the end they actually shot a scenes in which he and Ching Wan flew to the moon and they fought a big group of attack robots outside the ship, which were elements of the WARRIORS' sequel. Hong Kong film took the first step in making a science fiction film. Goo Jai felt that the Hong Kong market could further develop to be closer to Hollywood. "We learned a lot from doing it once. Our quality already got a very high score, but it could be improve further. We could keep learn something else new. The next science fiction film I am planning is 10 times harder to make than this time!" Goo Jai said that he would still insist on domestic Hong Kong production team with the latest LED format production. In the future they would have even greater space to make movies. He explained that actually it was not just with science fiction films, gun fight films could also use LED format to shoot. Then they would not need to block off the entire Nathan Road to be able to achieve the gun fight effect. This new technology in the future could have great development space in small places like Hong Kong. The science fiction film would become a film foundation and industry, but Goo Jai felt that the greatest difficulty that really needed improvement was still in design and not technology. "Because designs would depend on whether the technology would be coordinate with them, perhaps we would have to wait for us to create more technology."
