As Lust,Caution had already break the $2 million barrier in its box office collection in Hong Kong, when asked if he would be pressurize by it as Brothers will be screened at the same time, Andy expressed: "This is because they have Lee Ang, whereas we only have Chiu Sung Kee. Lust,Caution is a production of US$1.5 million whereas we're a production of HK$1.5 million. Therefore if Brothers could obtain one quarter of the box office taking of Lust,Caution, it would be considered as a draw."
Andy revealed that even Brothers do well in the box office, there would not be any sequel, he said: "I've to state again, this is just a pure commercialized movie, I never thought of doing anything like Infernal Affairs, this film will not be going to any film festival, even it managed to collect $8000,000, I would also be satisfied."

Maybe years ago, I would mind those negative comments, or does not wish to express my views on things, but fame to me is not priority. I'm an actor and not a public figure, do more meaningful things, will affect my fans and the audience, this is the most treasured fortune, it also gave me the largest satisfaction."
When talked about the current Chinese directors, Andy express that he admired Lee Ang, he said: "This is not because he's winning awards, in fact all his films are great films, very deep in content. He could mix Western and Chinese culture together without any glitch, he's a grand master." If Lee Ang was to approach him for his next film, would he accept? Andy said: "I feel that I still need to read the script first and see if it suit me, if it's something like Mr. Yee in Lust,Caution, I would not take up his offer."
