However, other than the fans, Andy would also like to thank Hong Kong director Johnnie To! According to the understanding of reporters, Andy's investment to shoot Brothers is a result of a joke by Johnnie as he said: "Three directors collaborated to shoot a new film for our friendship, if the 5 Tigers were to collaborate in a film, it would be a hit!"

They seldom get to meet until 5 years ago when Tsui Hark suggested that the 3 of them collaborate for their 30 years friendship. In early 2005, the 3 directors met and discuss to shoot Triangle. During that period, Andy get to meet Johnnie and get to crack the above mentioned joke to Andy which attract his interest as he think that if the "TVB directors" can collaborate, why "TVB Tigers" could not collaborate?
