What happens

《電影鴨》（）是1999年由是由鍾澍佳导演，羅嘉良、曾志偉、陳百祥、關秀媚、張錦程等主演的一部港產片喜劇。 這是一部以香港影壇的空前困境為題材的影片。開頭列舉九十年代港片賣座紀錄狂跌，實在觸目驚心。然後拍攝影人紛紛失業，明星無工開，編劇無飯吃。男星周鬆弛（羅嘉良飾）、女星朱淇（關秀媚飾）、編劇谷一招（張錦程飾）、導演陳果辛（曾志偉飾）、監製徐屈（陳百祥飾），這五人組千方百計準備開戲，那知大老闆破產跳樓，又訓練朱淇施展美人計，終於四個男影人要去做鴨，討好富婆，謀取拍戲資金。五人組開拍《春光早泄》，後來該片奇績地成功得獎，五人被邀進軍好萊塢，那知被勒索，搞出一大段錯摸鬧劇。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
