Andy Lau's new invested film held its premiere last night, Andy expressed that he hopes the film can make 5-6 million in the box office. Producer Gordon Lam interrupted: "If its less than 5-6 million then I will never act again." Andy was very concerned and told Gordon to take back what he said. Later, Gordon asked why Andy's so modest to set a goal of just 5-6 million? Andy said: "5-6 million is already pretty high, more than 10 million is impossible. In a situation, a person knows how high they can go, have to know their place. This movie is not a grand production produced by a known producer, director or classy actors. It is just a movie with junior level actors and a new director. Receiving 2-3 million is already very good." What's the payback then? This movie will play in Mainland where an estimate revenue of 20 million yuan, earn some profits there.

This film will play in both Beijing and Shanghai, some cinemas also will play the movie in the original Cantonese version. Before some HK produced movies playing in Cantonese, some audience complained that they couldn't understand, Andy is not worried that audience might not understand because there are only a small number of cinemas playing the Cantonese version. Audience afraid that they won't understand the Cantonese version can choose not to watch that version, also there is always
subtitles if the language cannot be understood.
