WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI)'s all star charity premiere took place two nights ago. Producer and star Louis Koo Tin Lok attended with Sean Lau Ching Wan, Carina Lau Ka Ling, Philip Keung Ho Man, and director Ng Yuen Fai. Guests who showed their support included Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen), Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Peter Chan Ho Sun, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Rainky Wai Yu Sum, Dada Chan Jing, Jennifer Yu Heung Ying, Fish Liew Chi Yu, Mimi Kung Chi Yan and daughter Ashley Lam Hoi Ling. Ching Wan said that he never thought he would have a chance to make a science fiction film. The feeling was very wonderful. Ka Ling would support and encourage Goo Jai to persevere and chase his dream.

When Koo Tin Lok appeared with Lau Ka Ling and Lau Ching Wan, over a hundred onlookers cheered. Goo Jai talked about the production experience on the stage. "No matter how difficult making this movie was, I still needed to take the first step as I wanted film to be able to expand its horizon. Making a science fiction film was very difficult and required a lot of time and money, but I had to do it once; I hope viewers would bring excitement to the movie, if it's good then recommend it to friends!"

Lau Ching Wan said that he finally had the chance to make a science fiction film, in his world the chance to be able to make a science fiction film was very few. This time he was able to make a very science fiction science fiction film. He also joked, "However aliens didn't come to Hong Kong, it went nearby!"

Lead actress Lau Ka Ling described the journey to make a dream come true was very lonely, but she still continued to persist her own dream. "I really admired him and am very touched. Koo Tin Lok put in money and effort to make an unprecedented movie. The attempt was tough; even if for now it wouldn't get everyone's recognition, don't forget the original dream. You have to keep going, everyone would see your hard work ultimately one day." Ka Ling said to Goo Jai, "I have to persevere, I would support your dream, and would be by your side along the way!"

WARRIORS' earlier advanced screenings had decent response. Goo Jai felt very pleased. "Everyone finally get to see my 'son', but I wouldn't deliberately think about the box office. As long as I gave my all it's fine!" As far as Goo Jai learned many friends booked shows to watch the movies to show their support. Ka Ling also said that she invited several dozen friends to watch the charity premiere. "I myself am very excited, actually after finishing the film Goo Jai said that he would show me a few trailers but I didn't watch them; because only supporting the film and watching it at the movies would have effect!" Ching Wan admitted that he never imagined he would make a science fiction film. This time was a wonderful journey come true. "When I knew we were making a science fiction film it didn't feel very real, until the shoot when I saw such a big production it finally felt real." The most unforgettable for him was to be able to see things that I didn't know before. "At first I thought it would be a group of people in tight green suits with dots all over them like Teletubbies, adding the computer graphics in post production then it's done. However during the shoot I realized that actually wasn't the case. It had many actual sets, and we had to wear armors. It wasn't too different from ordinary film productions. It wasn't just acting with the green screens."

Ka Ling in the film neither needed to wear an armor nor had to fight. She admitted that during the performance she was more comfortable than Goo Jai and Ching Wan, but film productions would always be tough. This time though was a lot of fun, in the future she would like to make different attempts. Would she like to wear an armor for the shoot? Ka Ling said, "I do! I wouldn't be afraid of how tough it might be. Why not? I could get into a little better shape. Actually the film production technology is great, it has already reached the space beyond imagination. Like Marvel movies I would like to give it a try. A lot could be fixed in the post production." Ka Ling immediately asked Goo Jai, "Next time would be my turn to fight!" Goo Jai agreed right away, "I would give you a special custom armor!"

In addition, WARRIORS allegedly suffered from "box office theft" during its Mainland release. Goo Jai said that it was already being handled. However he also revealed that the film's Mainland run would be extended to October 4th, it would continue through the Mid Autumn Festival and the National Day. Currently the film has made 500 million RMB. Was he confident that it would reach 1 billion? Goo Jai responded, "I have already done my best, everyday I would go to a different place to promote."

Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) two nights ago attended the WARRIORS OF FUTURE premiere. She joked that she set a reminder for this day long ago, even if she was so tired that she was only half alive she would still come to support Koo Tin Lok. Because several years ago when they made BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI), Goo Jai already showed her some footage. She said, "I have never seen such strong computer graphics for a Hong Kong film, in addition it has been under preparation for years. I have been looking forward to it very much." Why did she not ask for a role? Suen Huen said that the film already began preparation 5 years ago, at the time she has yet to signed with Goo Jai's company. However when she chatted with Keung Ho Man she learned that while making this science fiction film he had to act with air, which also tested the actor's imagination and relied on the actor's performance. She said that she has watched more Marvel movies, but she has never made one. Thus if she would have a chance she would like to give it a try. Would she offer her services if Goo Jai would plan for a sequel? Suen Huen said, "If he can give me a minor role I would be very pleased. I can do whatever, even completely changing my appearance!"

Suen Huen just returned from the Mainland. She said that earlier she went to Hangzhou for an online sales live broadcast, which she felt was right for her. The product sales rate was satisfactory.

In addition, Chrissie Chau Sau Na also came to support Koo Tin Lok. She admitted that she has always admired Goo Jai and she liked to watch science fiction film. She hoped to have a chance to perform in one as well in the future.
