The day before yesterday, Andy Hui held the first of 3 shows of his "On and On 25 Year Concert" at the HK Coliseum. Though Andy’s girlfriend Sammi Cheng had arrived at HK Coliseum early in the day to assist with preparations, she kept a low profile and remained backstage during most of the show – it wasn’t until Andy’s Big Four buddies Edmond Leung, Dicky Cheung, and William So went onstage near the end of the show that Sammi came out to sit in the audience section. The moment she appeared, the audience started screaming, so of course, Andy’s buddies would not give up such a prime opportunity to have some fun at Andy’s expense.Edmond Leung spoke first: “Prior to the start of this concert, friends and fans received great news – I’m sure that everyone sincerely wishes for Andy and Sammi to be happy and to get married soon so that they can enjoy a new level in their relationship!” Andy immediately became embarrassed and told Edmond to quit playing around, but to no avail – at the same time, Sammi sat in the audience and looked away shyly when the camera panned over to her during Edmond’s speech. Edmond continued: “The wedding will take place at the HK Coliseum and tickets will be available for sale – third-tier seats will cost $480 [HKD], second-tier seats will cost $800 [HKD], and front row seats will cost $8000!!” Dicky Cheung continued the ‘fun’ where Edmond left off, declaring: “Those who buy the $8000 tickets will get a special treat – the couple will kneel down and pour you tea!” When Sammi heard Edmond and Dicky’s ‘speech’, she bent over in laughter – seeing the positive response from the audience, Dicky continued by saying that the 2nd tier tickets would also cost $8000 so that more people will get the ‘special treat’. Dicky continued to poke fun at his buddy by saying that he is envious of Andy for being able to marry a woman with a $160 million dowry (Sammi) and ‘complained’ that when he himself got married, he didn’t even get a bottle of Yakult! He then went on and asked Edmond and William whether they were able to get a $160 million HKD dowry when they married. William laughed and joked: “No, but alimony was close to that amount!”
All joking aside, Dicky took on a serious tone later on and gave the blissful couple some heartfelt advice: “For many years, when the two of you dated, it was as though you weren’t dating at all – this time around, you need to forget about the past! This time, don’t be concerned about what others think or say – when you feel like seeing a movie, hold hands and go see it; when you feel like going to a ‘dai pai dong’ to eat, hold hands and go eat; when you feel like going to a street vendor to buy fish balls, hold hands and go do it. I hope that the Media will show you guys some mercy and give you space – if you [the Media] want to take pictures, at least wait until they return home and ‘accidently’ leave the curtains open, then take pictures!”
William So stated that he was really worried about Andy awhile back ago, as he looked a bit despondent and didn’t have anyone to accompany him on activities: “Recently, he has a more positive attitude and is more motivated…he also smiles more. It’s because he has Ah Mi [Sammi], so he’s able to smile like that!” Turning towards Andy, he continues: “Hopefully you continue to maintain that smile – we will definitely support you!” Not being able to stop his buddies from ‘poking fun’ at himself, Andy could only stand there and smile sheepishly – meanwhile, Sammi continued to sit in the audience section, sweetness written all over her face.
With Big Four together again, the 4 guys decided to do a ‘band’ segment for the audience – Dicky was on the drums, Andy was on vocals, Edmond played the saxophone, and William played the melodica. Despite a good effort, this impromptu ‘band’ ended up being a comedy of errors instead, as William kept going off tune and Dicky’s drum sticks kept flying out of his hands – though they did manage to give the audience lots of laughs!
Sammi continued to support her man until the show ended at 11pm, waiting until Andy sang the very last song before heading backstage. Even though the show ended, the fans did not want to leave and eventually Andy came back out to do an Encore, once again performing his and Sammi’s ‘love song’ "Only You Cannot Be Replaced". At the very end of his Encore performance, while performing his last song "Interlinked Spirits", Andy stated: “This song is very sweet, truly very sweet!” -- after he finished the song, he turned towards the spot in the audience where Sammi had been sitting earlier and said “I Love You!”
