Shaw Brothers and Hong Kong's number one television network TVB collaborate for the third time for the period comedic romp The Jade and the Pearl. Co-produced with Emperor Entertainment, the Janet Chun (La Lingerie, La Comedie Humaine) comedy features an enormous cast of Emperor's and TVB's hottest young stars led by Raymond Lam, Charlene Choi, Wong Cho Lam, and Joey Yung. An extravagant fairy tale about destiny and true love transcending social boundaries, The Jade and the Pearl is both a hilarious adventure-comedy and a touching love story that's a crowd-pleasing good time at the movies.
Princess Yan (Charlene Choi) and General Cheng (Raymond Lam) first meet when one insults the other at a local matchmaking party. Soon after that, Cheng is assigned to escort the princess to get married to the prince of the Far Far Away nation. On the road, the two enemies grow to become friends and even fall in love. However, a group of bandits - led by San Niang (Joey Yung) - attack the convoy, and the two lovers are separated amidst the chaos. While San Niang kidnaps Cheng and falls in love with him in the process, a failing writer (Wong Cho Lam) takes in Yan after a nasty fall causes her to lose her memory.
