Sammi Cheng and Louis Koo try to hold back laughter in thin air

ROMANCING IN THIN AIR (GO HOI BUT JI LUEN II) earlier held a small media screening. Most female viewers were moved to tears and some viewers had to remain in their seats after the show ended to settle down. Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Louis Koo Tin Lok were very pleased to learn about the great audience response. They liked this film very much as well.

Sammi pointed out that Goo Jai has always had quite a sense of comedy. This time he had several scenes in which Sammi had a very hard time with holding back her laughter. In one scene Goo Jai just arrived in Shangri-La. He could not adjust to the climate and had to get an intravenous drip due to a lack of oxygen. With his IV drip in his right hand and wine in his left, he looked very funny already. Even the crew thought Goo Jai looked very funny, but everyone cherished their oxygen and thus held back their laughter. Otherwise they could easily be short of breath. Goo Jai of course replaced the wine with tea. He said, "I was already short of breath and they still wanted me to chug. If the bottle was real I was dead for sure, of course I replaced it with tea! I didn't want to truly become like Michael in the movie and had to breathe with an oxygen tank!" On and off camera everyone's movement and speech were slower. Goo Jai joked that when To Sir (Johnnie To Kei Fung) reached the mountain, he did not even yell at anyone and the world had peace.

As for Goo Jai and Sammi's romantic scene, they said that it felt very comfortable. Yet a motorcycle scene reminded everyone of Sammi and Wa Jai (Andy Lau Tak Wa). Sammi said that the motorcycle ride felt very different with Wa Jai than with Goo Jai. She said, "Back then I saw behind Wa Jai, of course it felt great! However this time on the motorcycle with Goo Jai felt more fun, maybe because it was in Shangri-La. The scenery was beautiful and the air was fresher! So this time was very memorable." Goo Jai was very excited to ride the motorcycle and felt very satisfied. He felt how high Sammi was behind him.

Sammi Cheng praises theme song music

Sammi Cheng Sau Man earlier worked on the music video for the film ROMANCING IN THIN AIR (GO HOI BUT JI LUEN II) theme song DOREMI. Sammi appeared in five inch high heels and the director also arranged for chemical snow that was hard on the nose for a snowy effect. Finally the crew were all coughing, but Sammi who was dowsed in the chemical snow did not even cough once.

This theme song had music by Luo Dayou and lyrics by Lam Jik. Yanyan Mak Yuen Yan directed the video. Sammi said that she was very excited after receiving the song demo. "The first time I heard it I already had a lot of emotions because Luo Dayou's music had a very unique flavor that only songs that he wrote had. The first time I heard the demo that he sang I felt a lot of emotions, but his singing was very different from mine. I interpreted it Sammi's way." She also praised Lam Jik's lyrics as very meaningful as not a single word was wasted.

On the day of the shoot, the director arranged for chemical snow. Before the shoot everyone on the set already kept coughing and often covered their noses with towels or masks. Only Sammi who was in front of the camera did not cough all night. In five inch high heels she also stood or knelt as the director requested. Before the shoot she kept waving her arms and legs, but when she was shooting alone she displayed the lonely beauty of her film character. Sammi admitted that she was very excited about the film's upcoming release and hoped to be able to display that noble love for everyone to see.

Sammi Cheng is confident about her performance

The Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Louis Koo Tin Lok starred ROMANCING IN THIN AIR (GO HOI BUT JI LUEN II) will be released on Valentine's Day. Earlier Sammi, Goo Jai, director Johnnie To Kei Fung and Wai Ka Fi attended a Mainland media interview in Hong Kong. This time Sammi and Goo Jai reunited after LOVE FOR ALL SEASONS (BAK NIN HO HUP) eight years ago. Goo Jai pointed out that Sammi's biggest change was she was happier. She also liked to eat and would try different delicacies at different places. Sammi pointed out that Goo Jai was more mature and had a humorous side.

Director To Kei Fung also praised Sammi. He pointed out that Sammi had a very hard time. In the film she had to interpret a very deep love, but she had to be very suppressive. In comparison to seven years ago, Sammi now was much more confident and felt like another person. She has become gentler. Sammi joked that the director left the hardest scene to play for the end, leaving her reluctant to release her emotions. Wai Ka Fai said that they have always made city romantic films. This time he wanted to express love in another format, because the location had nothing materialistic and only had real hearts.

That day during the poster photo shoot, it was Louis and Sammi's first meeting after completing the Shangri-La shoot, the two were posing intimately as a couple. They even had face-touching-face shots, with no embarrassment whatsoever. The two didn't even chew gum beforehand to prepare for the shoot. The photographer greatly praised they have over 10 years of chemistry, the 'magnetic force' is very strong.

Louis carries a ligament injury, but still had to carry Sammi for the photo shoot. However, he expressed it wasn't challenging. Louis carried Sammi over 30 times, and said: "Sammi is very light! When we were shooting up on the mountain, I was out of breath from all the walking with Sammi on my back, but I didn't feel she her weight." Sammi laughed and said compared to before when they were shooting, she is now 8 pounds heavier and weighs 105 pounds.
