What happens

Flirting Scholar (Cantonese: 唐伯虎點秋香; Jyutping: tong⁴ baak³ fu² dim² cau¹ heong¹) is a 1993 Hong Kong comedy film directed by Lee Lik-Chi. It parodies famous works of literature which feature the same characters and settings. The title is itself a pun. The phrase "點秋香" means "to light Autumn incense", but as "秋香" is the actual name of a character, the title can also mean "courts Chow Heung". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
