Lau and his co-stars from "Shock Wave 2" hosted a short press conference and took part in a photoshoot with a fake ticking time bomb. Also present at the event were fellow actors Sean Lau and Ron Ng and director Herman Yau.

The movie tells the story of a bomb disposal officer who's named as a terrorist bombing suspect after being injured in a blast.

Lau talked about one of the most challenging moments during filming.

"The most important thing is, when we filmed explosion scenes in the past, we were really acting in the midst of explosions. But now we have to pretend we are in the middle of the explosion as it will be done in post-production. So, it's more challenging to act out the fear," Lau said.

The movie, which is co-produced by Lau, is set for release in 2020.
