The film THE VIRAL FACTOR (YIK JIN) shot in Kuala Lumpur for two months.  Aside from street scenes, they also shot at the Kuala Lumpur Central train station.  Shooting at the national traffic center, early in the application process they ran into a variety of obstacles.  Luckily they received the government's support.  The team however could not request for the station to be shut down for the shoot.  At every moment they had over 1,000 onlookers.  With the over 100 extras, director Dante Lam Chiu Yin admitted that everyday they were in the middle of the madness.

In the film Liu Kai Chi with his granddaughter Crystal was chased to the train station.  Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun) followed them to help their escape.  Nicholas Tse Ting Fung also arrived.  They in order to lure away the enemies created a small explosion at the train station.  During the shoot passengers had no idea about the shoot and screamed; Chow Kit Lun later even grabbed the girl and ran.

Uncle Chi in the film played Chow Kit Lun and Ting Fung's father.  Chow Kit Lun said that Uncle Chi was an actor was very strong influence.  His performance kept the younger folks on pace.  The girl played Ting Fung's daughter.  Before the shoot she would whine to Ting Fung.  Chow Kit Lun even played magic tricks to cheer her up; both two Heavenly Kings melted at her hands.
