Jackie and others to use a Movie Week to promote Hong Kong movies, and Hong Kong itself to mainland China

Jackie Chan, Stanley Tong, Cheung Yoon Ting, Kwan Gum Pang and Ng Si Yun have always promoted Hong Kong movies using all their efforts. Recently, each of these people have agreed to support Hong Kong’s Trade Development Department, in opening an event in Shanghai called “Fresh and Colorful” (Movie Week), using different ways to promote Hong Kong movies to mainland Chinese audiences. This Movie Week, will be held at the end of March, in Xin Tian Di (New Heaven and Earth), Shanghai.

Ng Si Yun lends out movie theatre

Ng Si Yun, the boss of UME International Film Company, has agreed to lend out his theatres for one week to showcase Hong Kong’s best movies. Jackie Chan will be the VIP who opens the event. Ng Si Yun said: “We are currently still discussing which movies to showcase but hopefully, the ones we choose will not be ones that have been shown in China before, including new and old ones.”

3 directors to attend a conference

3 Hong Kong directors, Stanley Tong, Cheung Yoon Ting, and Kwan Gum Pang will attend a conference on the 2nd of April called “Talking with Hong Kong directors” where they will talk with mainland China’s audience on everything about Hong Kong movies.
Stanley Tong said, “Of course, being part of Hong Kong’s entertainment industry, I would hope that more people would know about Hong Kong’s movie industry and I have always supported events of the Trade Department. This conference and Movie Week will make mainland Chinese audience have a better understanding of movies produced by Hong Kong.”

Through the “Fresh and Colourful” event, the Trade Department will not only promote Hong Kong movies, but they will also promote Hong Kong made products, eg. clothes, jewellery and electronics etc., so the people of mainland China will have a better understanding of Hong Kong.
