Angela Yuen Lai Lam, Sabrina Cheung Man Sha, Ng Wing Sze, CY Chan Chung Chak, Max Cheung Tak Lun, Wu Cheuk Hei and Brian Lee Hoi Yin attended the premiere of "GAMER GIRLS: Unleash Your Heroic Soul" at MacPherson Arena the night before (25th), and the actors were full of confidence for the opening box office of the movie.

Kayan Ng promised that if there would be a good box office result, she would accept the audience's suggestion for the actors can do anything and she would try her best to satisfy everyone; Yuen Lai Lam felt that the best way to give back to the audience was to play video games together, and to meet the audience in a cosplay style at the meet- and-greet. She pointed out that the best video game player was CY, he also taught the girls to play video games during the filming. CY humbly submitted that Alma Kwok Yi Kwan was the video game expert. Among the girls, Yuen Lai Lam thought that she and Ng Wing Sze could be ranked second.

In the future each actor would have to attend audience appreciation screenings all over to pump up the box office. Yuen Lai Lam pointed out that she has been constantly thanking the audience at previous preview screenings, and Cheung Man Sha said that the film was selected for the "Bright Future" section of the 55th Rotterdam International Film Festival (for feature film that would make its debut on the screen internationally). Foreign viewers already discovered her connection to Kayan in the film after just one watch, but Hong Kong viewers had to watch it once more to discover this set up. This time the premiere took place at the McPherson Arena and everyone felt it was pretty special. Yuen Lai Lam admitted that the filming process was hard, and it was not a big production; but everyone liked the spirit of chasing dreams expressed in the film, continuing to fight even though they knew they would lose. "We all understand that the film market is very difficult now, and these small productions like ours would have a very difficult time to compete with others; so we all fight with the spirit of knowing that we will lose."

In addition, Kayan Ng's pay was delayed after attending the event earlier. She said that the progress was good and she has already received her pay, but she was not at liberty to disclose the actual figure. In short, it was a satisfactory result.

Brian served as the emcee the night before. Often foul mouthed, he laughed and said that he has been a wedding and large-scale event emcee in the past. He would know how to speak according to the occasion. For example now during the New Year he would greet people more. Recently he opened an online channel to share food, and invited Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Louis Cheung Kai Chung and others as guests. Brain said that in the future he would like to invite Louis Koo Tin Lok, Juno Mak Chun Lung and Eason Chan Yik Shun to dinner together. Would he ask Goo Jai to sing "Boyfriend" while eating? Brian said that he did not know how to sing, if Koo Tin Lok would be willing to teach him he would learn right away.
