Macau, officially the number one gambling Mecca anywhere in the world. Forget Las Vegas and its family-oriented approach, here in (until ten years ago) Portuguese-occupied China, it’s all about the casinos. Sure, they’ve got Cirque De Soleil and host hugely overpriced gigs from the likes of Linkin Park and Beyonce, but audiences tend to have their tickets bundled together with their hotel bill as part of a weekend package and would far rather be hitting the tables than watching spandex-clad Frenchmen lift each other.
POKER KING plays like a tourist ad for this gold leaf-smothered playground, where the casino floors are clean, every hotel room boasts a plunge pool and floor to ceiling windows, the cobbled streets exude romantic European quaintness and even the bottled water is free. Everyone is a winner in this version of Macau. Everyone, that is, except Jack Chang (Louis Koo).
Jack is heir to a powerful casino conglomerate, currently operating under the watchful eye of Uno Cheuk (Lau Ching Wan), gambling addict turned Chang Sr.’s business partner. When his father dies, Jack returns to Macau, but soon loses his share of the business to Uno in a poker game

Synopsis:
China 450AD, the dynasty was under constant threat from ruthless Rouran tribe. With such a major security threat at hand, the Chinese army conducted a nation wide draft.
A retired soldier named Hua Hu insisted on enlisting again to serve his country. Mulan (starring Vicki Zhao Wei), his young daughter was intelligent and skilled in martial arts. But as a girl, she couldn’t be enlisted. Unable to bear the thought of her father suffering, Mulan got her father drunk, dressed as a boy and entered the army to take his father’s place.
Through the harsh military training, Mulan proved to be a courageous and unstoppable, and always helped others to fend off the army bully. She gained the attention of Wentai (starring Chen Kun), the battalion’s Vice Commander. They soon developed a mutual admiration.
However, Mulan was in constant danger of revealing her gender. When Wentai ran into her bathing by accident, Mulan was fortunate enough to escape without exposing her identity, but Wentai was determined to uncover the woman hiding among the troops. To make things worse, the army bully had lost a jade pendant and a strip-search was ordered. Terrified to reveal herself and tarnish her father’s reputation, Mulan admitted the theft and was sentenced to death. In prison, she told Wentai the truth and he promised to keep this secret till the end.
When Rourans launched a surprise attack, Wentai released Mulan from jail to let her flee. But Mulan stayed for a battle and decapitated the Rouran General. Her life was spared of this merit and even promoted to be Vice commander. Together, Mulan and Wentai fought through various battles, and their friendship gradually turns into romance.
However, the Rourans were getting stronger as their Prince Mudan murdered his father and seized the throne. Facing an unprecedented scale of attack, Mulan was vastly outnumbered, and both her love and brevity were put to the ultimate test. Would she sacrifice true love for the peace of her nation?
