    Yesterday Alex Fong was in Mong Kok for the promotional event for his new film "Kungfu Cyborg" (機器俠). Towards the box office for the film on opening day in Hong Kong being unsatisfactory, he himself expressed that he is a bit disappointed, but the official numbers have not been released yet. He heard that the first day the box office reached HKD$10,000, but in Mainland it was a victory. Within two days of opening, 20 million yuan was received in Mainland. Alex expressed that there is a possibility that people have a misunderstanding towards the film, comparing "Kungfu Cyborg" with "Transformers", he felt that Chinese technology in films does not care to Hollywood. He himself would work harder in promotions, he is filled with confidence for the film. He said that because he is a Hong Kong actor, his greatest hope is placed towards the Hong Kong box office, hoping it does better.

    Also, when speaking of Stephy Tang catching the Swine flu and that she was criticized to be so inconsiderate to not have on a mask during public event, Alex said that he spoke to her on the phone already and towards the reports that she's spreading the flu, she felt a strong grievance. Turns out that day when Stephy attended the event, she already knew she had the flu, Alex felt that she was already very unlucky, hope everyone could show more concern towards her, don't blame her. She already lost two weeks of opportunities to earn money, it is already very miserable.

    people are being way too hard on Stephy... box office would have fared better if it was a romance film.
