The Answer... and The Maid 女傭

CORRECT~!!! The answer's "RAINTREE"~!!!

Haha... apologies for the awfully long wait... Has your neck turned long yet~? And your coming back to this page is very much appreciated~!

You must be wondering why on earth did I give such a dumb question with a dumb answer... Well, I've recently left my previous entertainment-related company FLY Entertainment to join yet another media-related company MediaCorp Raintree Pictures. Yes we produce and distribute movies.

To my fans out there (if I have any, that is.. haha~)... not to worry, I am still hosting on Y.E.S 933 on weekends.

Since my first day at Raintree Pictures 2 months ago, I've been busy. My first movie project was Seven Swords 七劍. Followed by The Maid 女傭.

I bet many of you are familiar with The Maid 女傭 from these publicity stunts:

• Eerie sounding movie trailers that are seen so very often on Channel U and TV Mobile (apparently, it scared the hell outta kids, I heard)
• Mannequin dressed in red Chinese traditional wedding costume (Plaza Singapura Level 7)
• Life-sized sticker decals in the toilets (Plaza Singapura Level 7)
• Wedding procession (bride in red Chinese traditional wedding costume and red veil + 2 male servants carrying big paper lanterns) along Orchard Road
• Free screening of The Maid 女傭 for maids in Singapore, at Shaw Beach Road

To be honest, we've received complaints, especially about the toilet sticker decals. For all I know, you may be one of the people who had been cursing and swearing. But hey, at least we've been successful in one thing, that is to raise awareness of the movie amongst the general public! Any kind of publicity is good publicity.

But more importantly, the movie has become one of the most successful Raintree movies ever. Since its release on 18 August 2005, it's hit a high of S$2mil in Singapore box office and is the most watched movie for three weeks in a row! Not to mention, it's broken horror movie opening week records in Singapore box office, beating The Eye 2, Sixth Sense, Ju-On, Shutter, The Ring, etc.

The latest breaking news is that, international sales house Fortissimo has picked up world sales rights for The Maid 女傭, and will be released in American Film Market this November, afterwhich it will be shown on screens internationally~! Even Brad Pitt has expressed interest in remaking this movie. This is certainly a FIRST for a Singapore film~!

So, have you watched The Maid 女傭 yet~?
