The Movie Emperor
Directed by Ning Hao
Produced by Huanxi Media, CMC Pictures
A comedic fish-out-of-water story about a washed-up actor's humbling collision with rural reality, blending satire of ego with warmth toward human connection.
In an attempt to win back the public's interest, has-been Hong Kong film star Lau Wai-chi makes a comeback film with a major director. To prepare for his role as a peasant farmer in the 1960s, he travels to the mainland China countryside to experience rural life there, but his arrogance triggers a series of farces.
