I was very lucky, I managed to get one of the hottest tickets in town on Tuesday night, to the world premiere of "3D Sex & Zen: Extreme Ecstasy" in Hong Kong's Causeway Bay.
The invitation itself was pretty fancy:
What's behind the screen doors?
You'll note they actually rented out theaters in 3 different nearby Cineplexes. Quite impressive!
I came early to see the public ceremony, which was held in the pedestrian section of CWB in front of Sogo. I'm amazed the police let them set it up there in the middle of the street. (usually these types of things are done inside shopping centers).
It was real pandemonium when I arrived -
Tons of reporters and amateur photographers and what you could best describe as 'porn fans'.... (or perhaps more politely 'geeks' or 'otaku').
You gotta be a geek if you're taking pics with a tablet computer! :-P
I'm not even sure who that was, but she was quite popular... she went on stage and sang a song before the festivities started.
By the time the event started I moved a bit further away from the scrum.. unfortunately I have only a 3x zoom on my camera... doh. :-P
well, not that bad, you can see who's who. :-P
Congrats to the whole team for a successful project!
The ladies take the stage for a group picture before leaving the scene (unfortunately Hara Saori wasn't able to make it for the premiere). :-(
The funny part was they had the stars arrive and leave via rickshaw(yes they still have some here in HK, but just as a tourist attraction, I've never actually seen anyone ride in one here either... until this night:
I guess they could only afford one rickshaw for every two actors. :-P
Hiro and Vonnie seem to be enjoying themselves though, that's good. ;-)
Also Tony and Yukiko. Tony plays a really awesome bad guy in the film... I wonder if he'll get nominated for an HK Film Award?
You notice what Tonys holding in his hand? I didn't realize what it was at the time, not til I got to the theater and we got one too:

After the film I went to the after party to congratulate my friends for a job well done:
Congrats!
I think Hiro's the next Elvis Tsui!
