Finally guests and press came. About 30 minutes early actually. The turn out was really good as people were excited to be the first few to watch Geng in cinemas. Press and Media came and interviewed Nizam (Director of Geng) and the many voice actors before the show. Nizam and the actors were more than happy to entertain the interviewers.

After registration, guests were brought upstairs for dinner and to mingle around. Guests that attended were from MDeC, MIMOS and GB as well as friends from the industry our supporters from many private and public institutions. We even had bloggers who supported us from early on to come and join in on the fun.
Not to forget, we invited orphans from the Rumah Aman Limpahan Kasih Puchong to join the fun. What is a screening for a kid's movie without kids to enjoy the show? Eager and very much obedient, they lined and entered the hall quietly first before all the press and guests did.
Right before the screening, the Upin & Ipin mascots came just in time to spice up the event. Guests were thrilled to see the mascots especially the kids from Rumah Aman Limpahan Kasih. Photographers raced to take pictures of the voice actors with the mascots.
And finally, yours truly held the mic, said some stuff and it was on with the show. So this was it. Did they laugh and cry? Cower at the Hantu Durian? Were they at the edge of their seats? Alhamdulillah it seemed they did. The audience applauded 3 times towards the ending and everyone exclaimed their enjoyment of the show. Simply said, the whole team of Les’ Copaque was truly truly happy.
Right after the screening, press and media were invited to a press conference for questions regarding the film. After much questions and answering the event came to a close and everybody left. We collected the feedback forms and thanked everyone for participating for the event.
What did they think? Well there are already a few blogs covering about the event, but television and newspaper coverage will have to be seen for the coming days and weeks. We thank everyone again for attending the event and hope everyone will continue to support us especially towards the opening day of Geng: Pengembaraan Bermula in cinemas nationwide. Oh and don't forget to wait during the credits. There will be some surprises so make sure you wait till the very end.

Geng Press Preview : Bahagian 2
Ketibaan para tetamu dan wartawan agak awal dari jangkaan kami. Kedatangan amat memberangsangkan kerana mereka amat teruja untuk menjadi antara orang yang pertama menonton filem Geng di pawagam. Kebanyakan wartawan yang datang awal mengambil peluang untuk mewawancara Nizam (pengarah filem) dan pelakon suara sebelum bermulanya majlis. Nizam dan yang lain semestinya amat gembira untuk menjawab setiap persoalan mereka.
Selepas pendaftaran, tetamu dibawa ke tingkat atas Cathay untuk makan malam dan beramah mesra bersama krew filem. Antara tetamu yang hadir termasuklah dari MDeC, MIMOS, dan GB
, rakan2 dari industri, dan para peminat dari universiti tempatan dan swasta. Kami juga menjemput bloggers yang telah menyokong kami dari awal untuk bersama-sama memeriahkan lagi majlis.
Tidak lupa juga anak-anak yatim dari Ruman Aman Limpahan Kasih Puchong yang menyertai kami.Tidak meriah kan majlis tanpa gelak tawa kanak-kanak? Anak-anak comel yang hadir dengan tertibnya beratur dan memasuki dewan pawagam sebelum para wartawan dan tetamu menyertai mereka.
Sebelum bermulanya tayangan, maskot Upin dan Ipin pun muncul untuk memeriahkan lagi majlis.Para tetamu sangat terhibur dan anak-anak yatim dari Rumah Aman Limpahan Kasih tidak melepaskan peluang untuk bergambar bersama mereka dan para pelakon suara.
Akhirnya, Anas selaku pengacara majlis, memberi kata-kata aluan untuk memulakan majlis.
Jadi inilah masanya. Adakah para tetamu ketawa dan menangis?Adakah Hantu Durian terlalu menakutkan?Adakah filem ini membuat mereka tidak senang duduk? Alhamdulillah, nampaknya filem ini berjaya mencapai sasarannya. Para penonton berdiri dan bertepuk tangan sebanyak 3 kali di penghujung filem kerana menyangka filem telah tamat. Kesemua mereka bersetuju mereka terhibur menonton filem ini. Krew2 LCP semestinya sangat terharu dan gembira mendengar respon penonton.
Sejurus selepas tayangan, para wartawan dijemput ke Sidang Media untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang filem ini. Soalan demi soalan terjawab dan akhirnya majlis sampai ke penghujungnya. Kami telah mengumpul borang maklum balas dan berterima kasih kepada semua yang terlibat dengan majlis ini.
