Louis Cheung Kai Chung and Peter Chan Cham Man two nights ago attended an audience appreciation event for their film TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM). Unable to appear in person Minchen Lin and currently in New York for the New York Asian Film Festival director Sunny Chan Wing Sun greeted the audience over video chat and thanked everyone for their support.
Cheung Kai Chung revealed that after the screening began he snuck into the cinema for audience reactions. He did not expect that aside from the expected funny spots, laughter could be heard in spots for the audience to catch their breath. Would they promote like crazy for the film? He said, "Of course I want to. After two years of the pandemic, being able to thank the audience at the movies is very valuable." With Dayo Wong Tze Wa busy with his play, would he rely on them to keep up with the promotion? Cheung Kai Chung said that Tze Wa after the play would return to the team. They as the two younger brothers would hold the fort so he would be able to focus on his play. Also postponed due to the pandemic, CHILLI LAUGH STORY (HOP GA LAT) broke the HK$ 17 million mark. Would it bring them pressure? Cheung Kai Chung felt that CHILLI's good box office performance proved that everyone had the desire to watch movies. TABLE would be released in a different period so no comparison could be made. Chan Cham Man said that Hong Kong film really needs audience support. Even if they were released at the same time, they should not be compared. It would be the best for viewers to watch and support every movie. Cheung Kai Chung agreed that the film industry should have a room for a full bloom. Would they book shows to pump up the box office? Chan Cham Man joked, "I would ask friends to pay out of their own pocket to support me. I would watch with them."
