Synopsis

Wing Anita Yuen is a sassy girl who deeply idolizes Rose (Carina Lau), a pop singer, and Rose's boyfriend, top record producer and song-writer Sam (Leslie Cheung). Rose has been groomed by Sam, achieving stardom and international acclaim. With her success, Sam decides to try his hand at bringing up a male singer. He decides to announce a country-wide, males-only talent search, much to his former protegée's chagrin. Anita Yuen Wing-Yi (Traditional Chinese: ; Simplified Chinese: ; Pinyin: ; born September 4, 1971) is a Hong Kong film and television actress. ... Carina Lau Kar-ling (Traditional Chinese: 劉嘉玲, Simplified Chinese: 刘嘉玲, pinyin: Liú Jiālíng;Wu Chinese (Suzhou Dialect) IPA:[liY][kÉ’][lin]; born December 8, 1965 in Suzhou, China with family roots in Rongxian, Guangxi, China), is a Hong Kong actress. ...

Wing, desperate to meet her idols, seizes this opportunity and enters the contest disguised as a male. Her doting brother Jordan Chan trains her to perfect this whimsical idea. Jordan Chan in the role of Chicken from Young and Dangerous (1996) Jordan Chan Siu Chun (Traditional Chinese: 陳小春, Pinyin: Chen Xiaochun, Simplified Chinese: 陈小春) is a Chinese actor and musician from Hong Kong. ...


As fate would have it, Wing succeeds in the audition thanks to the poor quality of those auditioning and in part to Rose's taunts. Rose challenges Sam to see to the idea of him bringing up a (relatively) talentless Wing.


Wing is later invited to stay at Sam and Rose's home for her/"his" musical education. Wing tries unsuccessfully to reconcile the two lovers' differences. Trouble and comedy ensue as she finds herself falling for Sam and vice versa, despite him thinking she is a he.


Miscellaneous

Throughout the movie, certain gay elements were hinted at but never fully developed, such as those portrayed by Eric Tsang which pokes fun at the imminent love that was developing between Wing and Sam as they worked together and had fun as well as the scene where Wing sports an unwanted 'erection' in her male disguise while discussing with Sam about her singing duties. The erection of the penis, clitoris or a nipple is its enlarged and firm state. ...
