MIRROR's first full group new film WE 12 (12 GWAI DOH) opened today. The 12 members would begin a series of promotions. The film company also took the opportunity to explore new business opportunities, divided hem into many smaller teams to begin an audience appreciation marathon of over 100 shows all over Hong Kong to pump up the box office. However some online revealed that the audience appreciation show tickets were HK$ 180 each, several times more than the usual movie ticket prices. Even so, the audience appreciation shows still had "supply and demand". Some MIRROR fans even held seats with sheets of paper before ticket sale began. Some online sarcastically suggested for the film company to consider all shows to be audience appreciation events in order to achieve even higher box office and maximize the profit.

The new film last night held its premiere at Quarry Bay and explored another revenue stream. Earlier the opening bid on online platform was almost HK$ 4,000 including premiere ticket gift packs. Because the 4 figure price, only 250 "lucky winners" had the opportunity to interact with their idols. The res were only there to be happy for them, thus MIRROR fans condemned business for getting rich through MIRROR.

Although before the premiere, MIRROR fans complained about becoming money trees. Despite that they still chased stars. The shopping center where the premiere took place already had "A4 paper" and "chair" gangs appearing as early as 10 days ago to hold places. Several days ago some even "camped out" in a line. Yesterday afternoon the fans filled the shopping center, as the end of the line extended outside the shopping center. The authorities locked many escalators to prevent any accident, but some online caught fans ignoring that the escalators were stopped, walked up the shopping center and kicked over the barriers for the best spot.

Around 7 PM last night, MIRROR wore suits and waved handsomely in their appearance. Several floors of MIRROR fans screamed so loud that the captain Lokman and vice captain Anson Kong had to get up and ask the fans to lower their voices. Lokman was about his confidence in the box office, he said, "I don't dare to say whether I have any confidence, our confidence all went into the production. Let's see the response first." Among the 12 members, Anson Lo and Edan have become the "faces of audience appreciation". Edan was glad, "Whoever is free would attend audience appreciation events. We would have our North America tour coming up, we can take the opportunity to interact with fans. They would be good opportunities." AK who had less audience appreciation shows revealed that he would have to work on another new film before the North American tour, so he would have to accept the challenge. "I have unlocked the achievement of a sport. I have attended several classes and those around me felt I picked it up fast. However the sport would be individual and wouldn't have any physical contact with others."

As for Anson Lo he would also work on another new film, for which the character and the cast had to be kept confidential. However he would have to overcome driving. "I don't know how to drive, so i could only ask my teammates about how to look like I was driving convincingly. The director told me not to perform in such a rush, to relax my expressions." Ian revealed that he would have a new music video release soon and again invited Ann Bridgewater (Pak On Nei)'s daughter Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi) to be the lead and continue the story. Keung To said that if the 12 of them would make a new film together again he would like to make a sports subject. Stanley suggested making soccer film. Jer suddenly came up with making a sequel with fans, but Lokman objected, "Don't be so lame, let's make a prequel." Keung To said, "Let's make it into a series."
