What happens

Trouble Maker (Chinese: 蠟筆小小生; Jyutping: Laap but siu siu sang) is a 1995 romantic comedy film directed by Taiwanese director Kevin Chu and produced by Hong Kong director Wong Jing. Jointly created by Taiwan and Hong Kong, the film stars Taiwanese actor singer Takeshi Kaneshiro, Hong Kong actor Ng Man-tat, Hong Kong actress Athena Chu and Taiwanese child actor Steven Hao Shao Wen. The Hong Kong Chinese title 蠟筆小小生 translates as "Crayon Siao Siao San" which is derived from the popular Japanese manga "Crayon Shin-chan" about a mischievous little boy. The film was first released in Taiwan under the title Fart King 臭屁王. The movie was renamed and dubbed in Cantonese for all the Taiwanese actors to cater to the Hong Kong audiences. Hong Kong actors Ng Man-tat, Athena Chu and Gabriel Wong Yat-San (known by his nickname "Small Turtle") filmed their lines in Cantonese which was dubbed over by an actor for the Mandarin version. The movie was released in Taiwan on 25 March 1995 and then a week later on 1 April 1995 in Hong Kong. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
