TV had broadcast a 2009 Hong Kong film which namely
<Look For A Star 游龍戯鳳>. It is a typical Cinderella story. I re-watched it as I dun quite remember how the story goes.
Synopsis:-
It is love at first sight when Sam (Andy Lau) chances upon a feisty, fast-talking woman with the odd name of Milan (Shu Qi) at a Macau casino. But the catch is, she is a part-time Baccarat dealer and a full-time cabaret dancer, “careers” not exactly congruent with his station in life.
Besides the main couple, the other 2 couples created a funny circumstance in the movie. Anyway, I always like how Shu Qi's and Andy Lau's acting.
There is another film that Shu Qi acting in. The story line is about the same - a millionaire falling in love with an ordinary girl. It was a 2001 film and the main actor is Tony Leung.
<Love Me, Love My Money 有情飲水飽>
Synopsis:-
Richard Ma (Tony Leung) is a tight fisted, mean and unpleasant character. He is also a wealthy businessman who has become increasingly bitter and mistrustful due to what he believes are the gold digging women in his life.
Following a series of events one weekend, Richard's financial assets are temporarily frozen, his house is looted by his bitter ex-girlfriend and he has no cash leaving him helpless and broke.
It is during this fateful weekend that he meets Choi (Shu Qi); a struggling stroke broker who is trying ward off the attentions of an unwanted suiter from her local village. By offering to help to Ah Choi in return for financial gain, a most surprising relationship develops between this unlikely pair.
And this one, recommended by my cousin was indeed a great one. It was a 2012 China film -
<I Do 我願意>, starred by Li Bing Bing and Sun Hong Lei. Gosh, I like Sun Hong Lei. Dun get me wrong, he isn't those handsome or good-looking guy, but it's his voice that attracts me. ♥
Synopsis:-
Wang Yang (Duan Yi Hong) and Tang Wei Wei (Li Bing Bing) are couple when they are studying in university. They are like many young couples, face a lot of obstacles in realising their dreams. However, Wei Wei gets her position in the society quickly but Wang Yang does not give in to the reality. Wei Wei always 'educates' Wang Yang, in the hope that Wang Yang can be more realistic. He cannot defeat his low self-esteem and at last, he left Wei Wei without a word.
Several years later, Wei Wei had became a dragon lady of her workplace. Despite that, her love story does her no good and has remain single. Her friend, Le Xiao Ling set her up for speed dating through the internet but all along she is not satisfied with all the candidates that she met with. Yang Nian Hua (Sun Hong Lei) appeared as one of the candidates in front of her is a man who drives a cheap car and looking poor. Even though Wei Wei had good feeling towards him, she never consider him as a suitable man for marriage. And, Wang Yang reappeared, as a status of a CEO of a jewelry company.
When u watch too much of these kind of love stories, u'll start imagine that u would somehow be the main actress in the movies. But to some people, they just need these to satisfy their fantasies. Plus, these are just movies. Why not? :D
