Taiwan film YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYE producer Angie Chai, writer and director Giddens Ko, lead actor and actress Ko Chen-Tung and Michelle Chen yesterday officially announced that the film after 73 days in release with a box office of HK$61,295,651 (as of December 31 2011) the film successfully broke the $61,278,897 box office record that Stephen Chow Sing Chi's KUNG FU HUSTLE set 7 years ago to be the highest grossing Chinese film in Hong Kong history.

Reportedly the team would make a romantic mystery.  Ko Chen-Tung and Michelle Chen both had no idea.  Giddens Ko also said that the report was made up; Angie Chai said that Giddens Ko did not understand the reporters' Cantonese questions, which led to the trouble.  Giddens Ko said, "The romantic mystery report was made up, actually my plans have been very confidential even with reporters asked.  Now so far I haven't planned to make another film with the same team."  What ideas did he have lately?  He said, "I won't say them, only my girlfriend would know.  Even Sister Chai doesn't know."    Producer Angie Chai revealed that YOU will compete a film festival in Italy in April.  She thought it was wonderful because earlier Michelle Chen said that she would go to Italy to celebrate the box office success, now her wish came true.

Giddens Ko hoped that YOU's record would only be temporary.  "Because I like Sing Yeh too much, too too too too too much.  I like him so much that I think anyone would like to see Sing Yeh's comeback with a new movie.  YOU's box office record looks forward to Sing Yeh's new film breaking it."
