The event arranged for the host Lee Ho Lam to briefly converse with the actors in Mandarin and English, to introduce the characters and stories. When Lee Ho Lam asked Yam Yin Chai in Mandarin whether his FIRE OF CONSCIENCE character was conspiring and accidentally made it sound like "pubic hair", the audience cracked up. Yam Yin Chai indecently answered, "I think most people here have it!" The film's action director Chin Kar Lok said, "I am better off switching back to Cantonese, otherwise my pubic hair would be out too." Chin Kar Lok said that director Lam Chiu Yin was very deranged, taking Lai Ming and Yip Shuen to shoot up outside Central HSBC with machine guns on a Saturday. He was asked about advanced application, Chin Kar Lok joked, "Half, you can say it was applied for."

Yam Yin Chai at the FIRE OF CONSCIENCE premiere expressed that at first he thought he heard the host wrong, then Siu Chai immediately demonstrated the correct pronunciation. As for Chin Ka Lok's claim that the director was deranged, Siu Chai pointed out that the director gave the police film depth and achieved both pace and quintessence. As for the new film that he and Sammi Cheng Sau Man have talked about for a long time, Siu Chai said, "So far it still hasn't been confirmed. I look forward to working with Sammi very much, but for now it isn't ready yet."

Vivian Hsu (Tsui Yuek Suen) at the introduction said that she was cursed. She explained that in FIRE OF CONSCIENCE men who were with her became lost and cursed, with tragedy at any moment. As for real life, she said, "Tragic events would only happen at work, before tragedy I already escaped. In addition, I never run into anything this serious." Siu Suen continuously communicated with gestures with Shu Qi who was in the audience. She expressed that they have known each other for a long time and they were only talking about their skin. At the premiere, Tsui Yuek Suen expressed that she did not know that the press would be present so

she ate too much. Siu Suen expressed that lately she stayed in Taiwan for a long time and did not see Stephen Fung tak Lun. Did they still have normal relationship? She said, "We always have been, over the phone and MSN, but it's not a relationship."
