Director Pang Ho Cheung lately has been promoting his film ABERDEEN (HEUNG GONG JAI). Two nights ago the film held an advanced screening. The director led Gigi Leung Wing Kei, Jacky Cai Jie and child actor Lee Man Kwai to a Tsim Sha Tsui cinema for an audience appreciation event. Gigi admitted that after years in the business she attended her first audience appreciation event and thought it was very fresh; she also pointed out that the audience now is very lucky, after the movie stars would appear. When she used to go to the movies no such program existed.

Two nights ago Pang Ho Cheung asked about the dialogue from Gigi's bathing scene, the male viewer got everything right unexpectedly because the viewer was the president of Gigi's fan club. Gigi said that two nights ago she went to four shows and would continue to promote in ten cities in the Mainland in the future. She has put the most effort into this promotion. On the May Day holiday she had to go to the movies for audience reaction so she had no time to be with her husband. Why not bring him along? Gigi joked, her husband has made more appearance later and was already very popular. She did not want her co-workers to have to take care of him too.

Gigi pointed out that she did not mind attending events as a couple. Her husband has only been in Hong Kong for two years and has learned one line of Cantonese from her mother and grandmother, "Thank you for your hard work". When he attended events and said that phrase, everyone would be very happy. Gigi said enviously, "It's really unfair, I am afraid that one day he would be more popular than me." Would she be her husband's manager? She admitted that some events would invite her husband to attend but he never thought about becoming an artist. In addition her husband would get off work around 6PM and would not be suitable to take other jobs. Gigi joked that if her husband was invited to attend events, the condition would have to be "with wife". Working as a couple would be decent, everyone would be happy together.

It was Cai Jie's first audience appreciation too. She said that she learned a lot from this chance to work on Director Pang's film. She saw that successful artists truly had to be multi-talented, she also hoped to have a chance to learn to write screenplays and direct. Speaking of her nude performance becoming the focus, Cai Jie said that it was inevitable. However she believed that viewers would filter through the director's family relationship production method. Lately she also had film offers, she would not have to be sexy but she had to fight.
