Yesterday, "Flower Flic" director Mark Chou arrived in Nanjing with lead actors Chen Kun and Tam Chun Yin for a series of fan meet-and-greets at four different movie theaters. Chen Kun's first action role, and Gordon Lam's son playing the antagonist... Despite the many highlights of the film, the main topic of discussion inevitably revolved around the photo scandal.

The conversation kept circling back to the photo scandal.

A reporter tactfully asked Mark Chou about his thoughts on Edison Chen leaving the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Mark Chou hesitated, saying: "You're still asking about the photo scandal? Isn't this topic getting a bit boring?" Seeing the reporters' awkward expressions, Mark Chou continued: "Alright, since you've asked, I'll answer." After some consideration, he replied: "Regarding the passing of Leslie Cheung and Sister Fat, I would unhesitatingly say it was very regrettable. As for Edison Chen, I also feel very regretful. He is very talented and has much potential yet to be discovered. But now he faces a situation where there's no way out, no choice but to leave, so I also deeply regret his decision to exit the industry."
