Business partners have disagreements, but the important thing is we share the same goal, to make a good film. I appreciate Lau's devotion to this film so much. He is not only the lead actor, but also the coordinator between the crew and cast, and a reliable producer. Working with him made the production much easier.

In the film, we jumped from the 11th floor of a building together. I heard that he has acrophobia, but from his performance I could not tell. He threw himself into work immediately, sooner than I.
For the Hong Kong film industry, he has a strong sense of mission. He is always keen to find young talent and has given them generous support.
Gordon Lam, supporting actor in Firestorm and Lau's long-time friend
He is so hardworking. Every time I want to take a break, I think of Andy and I know I need to work harder.
