Deanie Ip: HK People Aren't Pigs, We have Brains

A Simple Life starring Deanie Ip and Andy Lau made $9,416,998 in the box office four days after its release. It is a heartwarming well-acclaimed film. Yesterday on the 5th day the box office already exceeded $10 million.

The other night, Deanie attended A Simple Life's special charity event. She just returned from doing promotions in Malaysia and knows the film is doing well in Hong Kong. Deanie is especially happy and thanks support from the HK audience. "I'm really thankful. At first, I was really afraid it would be a lost for Andy. With the popularity of this righteous film, proves Hong Kong people haven't died. We aren't a bunch of pigs, we have brains!"

In the Mainland box office, the film has already made 36 million RMB (~44 million HKD) and has broken many records. On the first day, the film got 13 million RMB, putting pressure on the Hollywood films.
