- This story is about Chinese woman from LA who visits for business, meets an American expat working in finance, and develops a budding romance until the woman found that the man had a girlfriend
- It is a romantic story in Hong Kong base on Emily’s experience
- The purpose of making this film is Emily like movies very much

- It is the Culmination of everything she’s been building her life
- Also, she wants to Offer Western audiences a ‘refreshing take’ of Hong Kong after watching this film

- After reading this news, I have some ideas about that.
- I think the Hong Kong Government should take a role in Hong Kong film industry
- So film industry can get 2 benefits of it to develop
- The first one is Revitalize HK film industry
- Hong Kong was hailed as Eastern Hollywood
- And the Film industry thrived in 1980s
- But now film industry is declining
- The reason is Many filmmakers are lacks money to make fabulous and professional films
- Many filmmakers have their dream but they cannot achieve because they have no enough opportunities to make films
- Therefore, I think Government should sponsor the industry to help to develop this industry
- As a result, Hong Kong will produce more good film
- The second one is Promote HK’s culture
- Many foreigners have a little knowledge of Hong Kong
- If Government’s financial support helps filmmakers to produce qualified film
- So Many Foreigners watch HK’s movies
- From Hong Kong movies, they would Learn more about HK’s culture
- Also, HK can promote soft power worldwide like what Korean government has done
- Even beneficial to HK’s tourism development
