The movie "Back to the Past" will officially release simultaneously in Hong Kong and Mainland tomorrow on New Year's Eve. Today, the movie's main cast, Louis Koo, Raymond Lam, Jessica Hsuan, Sonija Kwok, Joyce Tang, Kevin Chu, Bai Baihe, Michael Miu, Jimmy Au, Power Chan, Wong Man Piu, Louis Cheung, Fish Liew, and Timmy Hung, who accompanied his father, Sammo Hung, who served as the action director, appeared on the red carpet of Tsim Sha Tsui's Avenue of Stars to attend the 'Gala Premiere Night'. Raymond immediately approached the fans upon getting out of the car, signing autographs for them and showing his approachable side.
The actors took turns going on stage to share fun and memorable moments from filming. Louis Koo, Raymond, and Jessica were the last to go on stage. Jessica said that they would see each other regularly, so they are very familiar with each other, and they were already full of chemistry as soon as they got on set; thus, there was not much to worry about. Raymond felt very touched that the movie "Back" has finally been brought to the big screen after many years and is still receiving the support of the outside world. [He] was happy to work with senior and new actors, describing the entire matter as being a great dream.
Raymond pointed out that their relationship is that of both mentor and friend: "Back then, Louis Koo taught me a lot, and is still putting money in my pocket to this day. Everyone has to pay attention to the mentor-mentee relationship in the movie, as it explores the inner worlds of the two". Louis Koo said that, from the conception to the filming to the release, he has been greatly anticipating it. He said, "Thank you, Huang Yi (the original author). Because of him, there is 'A Step into the Past'. Also, thank you, [Liu Kai] Chi; because of him, there is Dr. Koo".
Louis Koo expressed his delight at the many supporters for the movie "Back", and found it strange to see even foreigners singing 《天命最高》. The pre-sales are not only hot in Hong Kong and Mainland but also in Malaysia. Asked if he was confident in breaking the single-day box office record of the movie "The Last Dance", Louis Koo frankly said, "Hope so! Because very happy this time that there are many people supporting 'Back'. Hope that the box office can have satisfactory results".
Talking about the 15-minute interval between screenings, Louis Koo revealed that, including the midnight screenings, there are a total of 1,460 screenings on the first day in Hong Kong, mentioning that many thank-you events would be arranged afterward. On New Year's Eve, he will first bring a large group to Guangzhou to promote and attend a thank-you event, and then count down to the new year with Mainland viewers. He said, "It is also my first time not celebrating New Year's Day in Hong Kong. Every year, [I] spend it with [my] family. (Bring your family?) Cannot. My dad can't travel too far, and there will be a lot of people. It wouldn't be good if something happened. Safety first". He expressed that they will continue the promotional tour afterward. Apart from going to Guangzhou, Foshan, and Shenzhen, will also be flying to other places.
Louis Koo emphasized that he and Jessica are promoting as an onscreen couple, pointing out that it is also an achievement for her to 'tame' him. Jessica laughingly said, "Very proud! My friends also say that they enjoy watching it. It turns out that everyone likes to see him being tortured". Jessica frankly said that, because of this movie, many of the old clips are being brought up again, and she would also be very scared every time she sees them. When encouraged by Louis Koo to try being a singer, she also shook her head: "I also forgot that I danced with Grasshopper before, but certainly remember when I forgot the lyrics while singing back then. Very grateful to everyone because there are many clips that I don't have, which gives me a lot of memories. However, it's impossible for me to be a singer. [Maybe] in the next life! A little late in this life because [if I] have the identity of a singer, everyone would think that I sing very badly".
Jessica refuses to sing 《天命最高》 with Louis Koo if the box office is good because there are already many people who have made different versions of this song. However, Louis is willing to sing it: "I'm the original singer. What is there is be afraid of?!" Some actors from the televsion version did not take part in the movie version. Asking Louis Koo if he would consider adding them if a sequel to the movie version were filmed, he said, "The time for a movie is limited. Everyone also needs to understand that this movie is a continuation. Some characters may have already died in the series. Of course, I hope that more people can take part, but the runtime is limited".
Louis Koo and Jessica Hsuan accepted an interview after the premiere. Louis Koo was accompanied by his good friend, Jessica, and was in high spirits the entire time. Jessica expressed that she was also surprised and found Louis Koo's chin-resting pose to be particularly adorable. Louis Koo also laughingly said, "Yeah! I don't have hands to rest my chin on now!". Although he humourously put down the microphone and 'ran away' after the interview, he eventually returned to his spot to honour his promise, readily agreeing to do the chin-resting pose with Jessica!
Jessica is nominated for TV queen for the series "The Queen of Castle". Talking about whether she would be attending the awards presentation, she expressed, "Go to the Macau awards presentation? Have to look at the work schedule. Leaving it to fate! Will go [if I] can! At this moment, promotions are very important!". With the personal support of movie king Louis Koo, Jessica expressed that it does not make much of a difference: "It's not related. It's up to the viewers to vote!" However, Louis Koo laughingly said, "After my blessing (開光), it is simply too marvelous for words!" Jessica, completely bewildered, asked Louis Koo, "I don't understand what 「開光」 is!" Louis Koo expressed in surprise, "Don't understand? Well, how come you understand 「加持」? (Jessica: 'Actually, don't understand'.) Well, [if you] don't understand, why don't you ask?! Like in 'Step', no matter what I say, she also doesn't understand. What is 「正八婆」?"
When Louis was signing autographs for Polaroid pictures the other day, Jessica complained that his signature was too big and took too much space. Louis responded, "It's just too long!", which when viral online. Today, Louis Koo first signed on the premiere's backdrop, and later expressed in an interview, "How could I sign all of it at the beginning! I am long! Will accommodate then!" This made Jessica and everyone present burst into laughter!
