Wu Zun will meet up with Ah Sa

Wuzun arrived in Hong Kong on Wednesday night to promote his new movie. When asked whether he will see Ah Gil during his stay, his manager replied for him stating that he will only see Ah Sa this time and then quickly pulled him away, giving away the feeling that they want to "Waak ching gaai sin" (Rough translation: Draw clear lines between them). At 10pm the other night, Wuzun was at Hong Kong airport with his manager and assistant. There were around 50 fans waiting for him at the gate, when WuZun saw all the fans waiting for him he instantly walked closer to them and received the presents they had for him. At the time, there were about 50 reporters who were waiting for Nicholas Tse and family to arrive at the airport so when WuZun was leaving the gateway he also had to cooperate with the reporters. Wuzun was in a happy mood that night so he was very cooperative and stopped at the crowded airport that night to answer all the reporters questions. The more he spoke the more mistakes he made WuZun said that he came to Hong Kong by himself this time to attend the press conference for his movie "Butterfly Lovers". When asked whether he will contact Ah Sa, he replied "Yes. I will see Ah Sa at the function" When questioned whether he will see Ah Gil, Wu Zun responded "I will see Ah Sa (Reporter: What about Ah Gil?) The production company will decide whether I will see Ah Gil or not..." At the time, Wu Zun's manager was probably afraid that the more Wu Zun spoke the more mistakes he would make so she made a statement for him. "He will only see Ah Sa. Won't see Ah Gil!" She then quickly pulled Wu Zun away to leave the airport.
