She said, "If you are afraid of having your thunder stolen you can show off long legs. Since she was showing bottom, I showed top!" Kuo Wan Wai was worried about wardrobe malfunction so she did not dare to move too much!

Joey wore 3 inch high heels and appeared with Wong Cho Nam. The height difference won her a lot of attention back. Joey expressed that in the film only Lam Fung and Ah Sa had romance. She had a crush on Lam Fung but she still took action. She saw the film during voice work. At the time people laughed too. Last night's premiere was particularly tense. As for TVB artists stealing the show, Joey showed her music queen style and honestly said that she was "selling dance" art and technique. Mainly she did not have any career line, but she believed that this was the premiere's selling point.

Cho Yi also stated that she was in negotiation for series and films. Acting in front of good actors, she truly was afraid that she would drag others down. Thus she hoped that the film would perform well and give her back some acting confidence. As for box office expectation, Joey said, "Casual, I don't have too much burden. Many above me are carrying it. Poor box office has nothing to do with me, while I get the credit for good box office." Ah Sa stated that if the box office would exceed 15 million in Hong Kong Island, she, Lam Fung and Joey would kiss Wong Cho Nam. Joey would even wax Lam Fung's legs with duct tape! Lam Fung also joked that he asked fans to book entire shows for the box office to support the Kowloon box office.
