From the Courtroom to the Nightclub: Director Jack Ng’s “Contrasting” New Work

Regarding his inspiration, Director Jack Ng revealed that the idea originated during a celebratory banquet for “A Guilty Conscience.” He stated, “Compared to the serious courtroom theme, I wanted to film something that makes everyone cheer and feel happy. The prosperity of East Tsim Sha Tsui in the 80s and 90s, and the changes of the era, have a wonderful resonance with today’s society.” 

NIGHT KING [夜王] SYNOPSIS:

The year is 2012. The once-glamorous Club EJ suddenly experiences a hostile takeover. Much like the nightclub industry, the glory days are over for the club’s manager, Foon (Dayo Wong), despite having stood tall in East Tsim Sha Tsui for decades. To make things worse for Foon, the club’s new CEO is none other than his cutthroat ex-wife, Madame V (Sammi Cheng)! Determined to change things up, she leaves Foon and his hostesses with no choice but to transform and modernize in order to breathe new life into their business. Little do they know, a powerful conglomerate has been pulling the strings all along to shut down Club EJ for good. To save their neon empire, Foon and V must join forces and make an epic last stand with the hostesses against what seems to be inevitable doom.
