The Hong Kong International Film Festival Society (HKIFFS) held the gala premiere of DIVA at The Grand Cinema on 15 August, a highly anticipated and star-lit event of the 2012 Summer International Film Festival (SIFF).
Actor-producer Chapman To, leading actress Joey Yung and director Heiward Mak all attended the premiere and revealed behind-the-scenes stories to the audience.

The HKIFFS is dedicated to showcasing the creativity of up-and-coming local helmers; DIVA, the third feature of young director Heiward Mak, was included in the SIFF programme as a highlight of Hong Kong cinema. "I am very delighted that DIVA is selected and able to have its local premiere at the SIFF," said the director. "I certainly hope that Hong Kong audiences will continue to support local productions, and that my story will strike a chord with them and inspire some reflections."

When asked about his strikingly convincing performance as a sinister manager in the film, Chapman To quipped, "thanks to my own manager, who is simply a living example!"

Joey Yung shared, "I am truly grateful, because in reality I have such a close bond with my manager. But to be honest this story isn't only about the entertainment business; many of us have had the experience of giving up what we love and cherish in pursuit of success and fortune." | 香港國際電影節協會於8月15日晚上在The Grand Cinema舉行了2012夏日國際電影節《DIVA 華麗之後》首映禮。監製及男主角杜汶澤、女主角容祖兒，以及導演麥曦茵一一出席支持，跟觀眾會面交流，暢談幕後花絮。

香港國際電影節協會一直不遺餘力支持香港新晉導演，《DIVA 華麗之後》正是本地年輕導演麥曦茵第三部長片。她表示：「《DIVA 華麗之後》能入選今年夏日國際電影節作本地首映，我非常高興。希望觀眾能繼續支持本地創作，也期待這部電影會引起大家的共鳴和反思。」

被問到可有秘訣把戲中不擇手段的經理人演得淋漓盡致，杜汶澤打趣說：「很感激我的經理人，每天都做人辦給我參考，我便把他的影子投射在這個角色身上，哈哈！」

容祖兒分享道：「現實中我與經理人情同手足，感情要好，工作上的自由度和空間也很大。不過話說回來，《DIVA 華麗之後》這個故事其實不只針對娛樂圈；很多人有時候都會為了所謂的成功而放棄所愛，不知不覺便犧牲了當初珍惜的人、事、物。」| 香港国际电影节协会于8月15日晚上在The Grand Cinema举行了2012夏日国际电影节《DIVA 华丽之后》首映礼。监製及男主角杜汶泽、女主角容祖儿，以及导演麦曦茵一一出席支持，跟观众会面交流，畅谈幕后花絮。
