I believe that everyone knows and has seen the trilogy of "Love Before dawn breaks", "Love before sunset and dusk" and "Love before midnight", which are regarded as the standard of love by movie fans.
In these three works, the audience followed the hero and heroine to watch the music capital Vienna, the romantic capital after Paris and the love mecca of Greece, the romantic story + the beautiful scenery, making every frame and scene of the film so charming.
There is such a movie, it is also about the encounter between two people, but also about a beautiful city, it is "Hong Kong Tomorrow".
If three parts of Europe are so far away from us, the city of Hong Kong is much closer to us.
If you like or dream of the city of Hong Kong, you must not miss this movie. Follow in the footsteps of the male and female protagonists, enjoying or reliving the gorgeous and psychedelic night view of Hong Kong.
Ruby (Jamie Chung) is a Chinese-American toy designer in Los Angeles who first came to Hong Kong for work.
She and her friends met in Lan Kwai Fong, but her phone had no navigation and did not know how to say a word Chinese she got lost in Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, Josh (Brian Greenberg), an American who has worked in Hong Kong for 10 years. He's at a big party, and bored, he's smoking outside the bar.
Josh saw Ruby, who was embarrassed, and talked to her. He showed her the way, but it was a little far, and the roads in Hong Kong were intricate, and Ruby was still confused after listening to a series of turns.
So Josh decided to take Ruby personally to Lan Kwai Fong.
Ruby agreed to this suggestion after confirming that josh's own affairs would not be delayed.
In this way, the two began a stroll through the streets of Hong Kong.
They passed through the Central to Mid-Levels Escalator, an outdoor, hillside elevator, which is a famous attraction that all Hong Kong travel guides will mention, and it takes 20 minutes to fully stand up.
In Wong Kar-wai's "Chongqing Forest", Liang Chaowei, who plays a policeman, rides an escalator to work, and the heroine Faye Wong peeks at him from the apartment window, which becomes a classic scene.
After a few days of walking through a chinese-inspired neighborhood, they came to Dudaly Street, also known as Gaslight Street. Home to Hong Kong's four remaining gas lamps, it has a long history and was declared a Monument of Hong Kong on 15 August 1979.
Nowadays, the gas lamp is turned on automatically from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Many Hong Kong TV dramas, music films and movies have set dudley street as a scene.
Next to Gaslamp Street, there is a "world's only" Starbucks ice room, which is decorated in the old style of the ice room and is also a "net red" shop.
As the stroll continues, so does Josh and Ruby's conversation, they know which city the other lives in, what the other is doing, what they know...
They talked a lot, as if only strangers who were not familiar with them could talk so much.
In the process of touring and chatting, the two gradually developed a good feeling, especially Ruby, from the beginning of the scruples to the subsequent lack of defense.
Finally arrived at the singing lan Kwai Fong, but this time Ruby decided to see her friend early the next morning, and she hoped to have a drink with Josh tonight.
Josh looked embarrassed for a moment, but agreed. Beautiful women take the initiative to invite, how many men can refuse?
Josh then took Ruby out of Lan Kwai Fong and into a hotel he was familiar with, where he thought the bar was a place dedicated to ripping off customers.
After arriving at the bar, the two sat down and chatted quietly and began to talk about something more in-depth and personal.
The atmosphere gradually became slightly drunk, ruby excused herself to go to the bathroom, she sorted out her makeup, perhaps thinking that the two were almost moving to a more private place.
When Ruby returned to the bar, he found that Josh had just hung up the phone, and when he asked, he learned that Josh had a girlfriend, who had just called, and Josh was attending his girlfriend's birthday party.
This made Ruby feel as if he had been deceived. She was angry that Josh shouldn't have made such a move tonight since he had a girlfriend, and would only make the other party misunderstand.
In the end, this originally wonderful encounter ended because of a misunderstanding, and it was not happy.
After a spring, summer, autumn and winter round, Josh and Ruby met by chance on a ferry from Hong Kong to Kowloon.
At this time, both had their own partners, but they still chose to travel to Hong Kong together at night.
This time, it came to Chungking Mansions, followed by Victoria Harbour, which made the audience feast on the beauty of Hong Kong.
After talking, the two found that a year's time had turned their lives upside down.
Ruby was promoted to a position and was transferred to work in Hong Kong.
Josh quit his bank job at Ruby's suggestion a year ago to devote himself to the writing he had loved since childhood.
When they come to an underground music club, they let the ambiguous atmosphere push them, and the inner stoic feelings are slowly released, getting closer and closer to the dance floor.
And just before the two fell deeper, Josh's girlfriend's friend discovered Josh, and she interrupted the ambiguity between the two.
This confuses Ruby about what the two are doing tonight, they both have a partner with each other, but they both have a crush on their backs and are having an affair with a member of the opposite sex.
The long night was coming to an end, and the two of them put together a taxi to prepare to go back to their respective homes. In the car, the two poured out their hearts. Ruby, who was getting engaged to her, thought the night's act was a spiritual affair because she was in love with Josh.
Josh certainly liked Ruby too. It's just that neither of them wants to hurt their lovers.
Both are full of struggles, they wonder who their hearts really want, and they need to choose between each other and their lovers.
At this time, Ruby's house arrived. And will Ruby invite Josh to her house for a drink, or will the two end their fate?
Like the "Love in" trilogy, in "It's Hong Kong Tomorrow", the male and female protagonists meet and chat, of course, the content of their chat is certainly not as good as the former, but when Hong Kong becomes an important component of this ambiguous emotion, when Hong Kong also becomes the protagonist of the film, the film is also very charming.
