It rained heavily inVeniceyesterday morning but when Andy and others attended the premiere, it became sunny again, which was a good sign. Andy was in a smart suit and when they appeared on the red carpet, fans who were standing on two sides welcomed them with loud applause.
Andy revealed in the press conference that when he first received the script, he thought it should be an art film. “When I read the script, I thought the film will look like what I read. However, after the shooting, I found that art is individual. It’s hard to imagine the whole issue. When one doesn’t experience much, there is a distance between reality and dream. Comparing them, I think simple is better, simple things become more important.”
The humor and touching plots aroused many foreigners’ sympathy although the film is filled with rich Hong Kong style. Foreign media reporters and critics also gave high evaluation of the film.
