What happens

《冠軍歌王》(英語:Kara King),是黄明志繼自编自导自演的喜剧《辣死你妈》及《鬼老大哥大》后,推出的第三部电影作品。該片原本是贺岁电影,由于申请不到农历新年上映档期,所以被迫延后上映。 此部電影是以大馬的歌唱比賽文化為故事背景,從中帶出大馬社會問題和現象,劇中,吳孟達飾演父親,但兩人關係惡劣,而吳孟達與高凌風、黃小琥也有三角戀的情節。此剧找吳孟達、高凌风、黃小琥、大马女新人胡桐語和黄若熙。 该片原本打算要在泰国、台湾、香港、新加坡、马来西亚同步上映,但由于马来西亚在最后一分钟才决定让该片上映,所以其他国家也把档期排满。 此電影亦成為高凌風2014年逝世前的最後一部電影作品也是与吴孟达唯一合作演出之作品。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
