The Yuppie Fantasia (1989) Director Gordon Chan helms The Yuppie Fantasia , a hilarious and well-observed modern comedy starring Lawrence Cheng and Carol Dodo Cheng! Leung Foon (Lawrence Cheng) is an ad agency employee whose marriage to Ann (Carol Cheng) is hitting the skids after eight years. He considers making a break from his wife, and his timing couldn't be more fortuitous. His new boss is the gorgeous Mrs. Lam (Cherie Chung), who takes a shine to him. Leung Foon also has ex-girlfriend Jenny (Elizabeth Lee) to contend with, and office politics and intrigue aplenty. Will he discover that the grass truly is greener on the other side, or will he decide that the covenant of marriage is the way to go? An insightful comedy about love and marriage in modern Hong Kong, The Yuppie Fantasia was a popular hit during its 1989 theatrical run, and is one of many collaborations between Lawrence Cheng and top comedienne Carol Cheng. Brief Encounter In Shinjuku (1990) The hilarious sequel to the 1989 hit The Yuppie Fantasia , Brief Encounter in Shinjuku brings back Lawrence Cheng as a thirty-something Hong Kong yuppie finding misadventures in love and marriage. Leung Foon (Lawrence Cheng) and Ann (Carol Dodo Cheng) reunite after the events of The Yuppie Fantasia , but issues still exist. Ann works overtime to be a better wife, and Leung Foon attempts mightily to be a model, upright husband. But being perfect spouses can take its toll, and soon the possibility of infidelity arises for both of them. For Leung Foon, the temptation comes in the form of new office colleague Dream Kwan (Rosamund Kwan), who's got the entire office abuzz with her stunning beauty. Will Ann and Leung Foon decide once and for all that marriage is not for them? Director Gordon Chan brings wry observations and light-hearted comedy to Brief Encounter in Shinjuku , a modern comedy that easily matches, and possibly even surpasses its predecessor! The Yuppie Fantasia 3 (2017) Three decades after the original The Yuppie Fantasia sung the everyday man's woes of love, marriage and temptation in modern Hong Kong, Lawrence Cheng returns to write, direct and star in the hit relationship comedy series' third installment. The Yuppie Fantasia 3 reacquaints audiences with Cheng's 52-year-old Leung Foon, the small man of yesteryear who has since become a rich, demanding and successful businessman. Foon's only regret is that his wife Ann (Carol Cheng), who left him years ago, can't see how much he has grown. However, Foon hasn't changed much when it comes to romantic misadventures, as he carries on a fling with his much younger secretary (Chrissie Chau). When his 21-year-old daughter (Laurine Tang), whom he hasn't seen since she was eight, suddenly shows up one day with news of her mother's death, Foon is forced to finally reassess himself and his follies.
