Limelight Years

LAI GOR-DUN, a wealthy Taiwan entrepreneur, invites a mysterious author called "MARJORINA" to fly from Hong Kong to Taiwan, helping him write his autobiography. The PR Manager of GOR-DUN's hotel, POON NAM-SZE is GOR-DUN's right-hand woman. She not only helps GOR-DUN get ready to welcome MARJORINA, but also arranges diva WAH FONG-YING to perform at the night of the medal awards ceremony. WAH FONG-YING, a diva of her time, has spent forty years on stage, and is extremely harsh on people. In order to buy designer shoes for FONG-YING at a high-end boutique, her assistant SZETO TIK-TIK dresses up nicely, but is mocked by FONG-YING, who is also dissatisfied with TIK-TIK's performance. The owner of Upstairs Photo Studio is LAW BUN-HON, and his friends call him "LAW BUN". Just prior to boarding a plane, he finds that he is elevated to a first-class seat, which makes him so excited that he even calls his wife MING HA to tell her about it. Later on in the aeroplane, he encounters FONG-YING, who instead misconstrues that he is one of her enthusiastic fans. GOR-DUN endures the pain to get his eyebrows trimmed so as to please MARJORINA, only to find out that MARJORINA is in fact a young man called SONG SHEUNG-HANG. SHEUNG-HANG manages to convince GOR-DUN to publish the autobiography and authorise him to write in his stead. It turns out that GOR-DUN and LAW BUN are longtime friends. Seeing that SHEUNG-HANG claims to know everything about women, LAW BUN thinks he is just talking nonsense. FONG-YING cannot make up her mind as to which of the night gowns she should wear for the performance, so she asks NAM-SZE for her opinion as NAM-SZE is actually her daughter. She frankly admits that the reason she agreed to perform for GOR-DUN is because of NAM-SZE. After TIK-TIK causes her fiance CHIN KA-MING's discontent, TIK-TIK drowns her sorrows in alcohol, during which SHEUNG-HANG hears TIK-TIK quoting the famous lines of MARJORINA, so he approaches her and teaches her ways to vent out the frustrations. To his surprise, TIK-TIK tells him that she is MARJORINA......
