Director Jack Neo makes a plea for Long Long Time Ago 21 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMaking S$4 million at the box office would be a boon for most Singapore film-makers, but apparently, that is not enough for director Jack Neo. The first part of his period drama Long Long Time Ago had topped the local box office when it was released over the Chinese New Year long weekend earlier this year; and ended its run with an impressive box office haul of S$4.15 million.
But Neo said that he wanted more; although it wasn’t about filling his own coffers.”Everyone knows a film needs to make back three times the budget in order for it to be considered successful,” he explained at the press conference for Long Long Time Ago Part 2.
