[ THE FILM CATALOGUE ]
Young Lui Lok became a policeman to uphold justice. But the rampant corruption within the police force made it impossible for him to remain independent. He decides to make a name for himself within the police force by controlling organized crime.
Nam Kong looks gentleman, but operates with a dagger under his cloak. He is socially active among the police force as well as the social circles, in fact laying the groundwork for the empire of corruption he builds with Lui Lok.
Nam Kong and Lui Lok, the brains and the brawn working in perfect unison, respectively become Chief Detective Chinese of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon / New Territories in 1962. They lord over organized crime, and lead tens of thousands of policemen.
Nam Kong has long seen through Lui Lok's cynicism and naivete, and has been plotting a hostile takeover of power. Lui Lok discovers that everything is not as he had imagined, he vows to forcibly regain controlling leadership from Nam Kong.
As the two forces begin their epic power struggle, who will rise and who will fall?

"I want to marry myself!"
To plan for a solo wedding, to marry myself, to declare my forever love for myself to the world!
Attractive comedienne Ping vows to become a viral Youtuber. She concocts a plan to put on a show of marrying herself in what was meant to secure both money and likes! However, the scam ultimately ended up in the discovery of her true self in this coming-of-age fairy tale comedy.
To love others, I must love myself. Simple enough, right? But who am I? In a pageant of love, four contest as lovers, each one goodhearted in their own right. Does Ping want all four or none at all? By marrying herself, can she figure out who she really is? And who she really loves? Ping will tell it all on the day of the solo wedding...
In this satire of marriage and the individual self, nothing is left untouched: women, men, organised religion, homosexuality, the filthy rich, not to mention ye good old mother! Love yourself in Say I do to me, won't you?
