The big-screen New Year comedy "72 Leasers of Prosperity" has been previewed to Beijing's local press. Targeting the Spring Festival Market, the production is scheduled to open February 11th.

The story of "72 Leasers of Prosperity" is set in contemporary Hong Kong. It's about how dozens of local residents try to make a fortune by leasing their properties to grocers and vegetable vendors.

《72家租客》是近年来演员阵容最多和最强的贺岁喜剧片之一，曾志伟亲自出任总导演和监制，该片不仅邀请到了张学友出演，而且女主角方面还邀请了袁咏仪、陈慧琳、佘诗曼等联合主演，港台一线演员邓丽欣、林峰、黄宗泽、谢天华，林雪、钟嘉欣、林家栋、陈百祥、廖碧儿、胡杏儿、李灿森等联合出演，该片174位的演员阵容也成为了近几年港片演员阵容最强的影片之一。

此次在北京正式启动《72家租客》贺岁之旅新闻发布会，发行方新华展望传媒不仅正式公布将在2月11日强势上映，而且还在昨日表示将投放近千个拷贝，成为春节档期最强阵容，最大发行规模的电影之一。

In the story about everyday life of Hong Kong residents, Anita Yuen and Eric Tsang play a couple. And to match the less than satisfactory looks of Eric, Anita had to sacrifice her image.

Eric Tsang said, "Actually the role is kind of unfair for her. She was my wife in the movie. So it's impossible for her to be glamorous. That's how it goes. I can assure you that she is the most ugly screen wife over the past ten years. At the start of the project, I was afraid that her good looks would restrict her performance. So I made sure her role was an ugly one. And she had to don an old woman's outfit. So there's no room for her to be gorgeous."

The cast of "72 Leasers of Prosperity" features as many as 174 star entertainers. Apart from Eric Tsang and Anita Yeun, there are Jacky Cheung, Kelly Chen and many other big name entertainers in Hong Kong. Although most of them only had minor roles, all displayed unreserved commitment to the project.

《72家租客》是经典电影《72家房客》的第二代作品，而该电影承接了原电影中的人物精髓，大量的描写了市井人物为生活争斗的啼笑皆非的生活故事，和周星驰的电影《功夫》中反映的形形色色的人物十分相似，只是《功夫》是武功的题材来体现市井人物，而这一次《72家租客》却是原滋原味的反映了《72家房客》中的人物状态，更接近经典电影的人物文化，更是大展现代市井人物文化状态。

在《72家租客》电影中，出现了大量的形形色色的市井小人物，包括原来《72家房客》中的经典人物包租公包租婆， 包租公，上海婆等人物，都被一一保留，袁咏和张学友饰演的石坚以及曾志伟饰演的哈公展开了半个世纪的恋情，但是两家之间的争斗从来没有停止过。

导演曾志伟表示，《72家租客》将是香港电影的喜剧回归之作，"港式很多经典喜剧电影给全球华语观众带去了太多的欢笑和感动，但是大家对今天港式的喜剧电影已经渐渐的淡忘，我们希望这部电影不仅是一次经典的回归之作，而且也是香港港式经典喜剧电影的回归之作。"
