超级经理人 The Midas Touch 2013
The Midas Touch is a 2013 Hong Kong comedy film directed by Andrew Fung Chih-chiang (馮志強) and starring Chapman To Man-chak (杜汶澤) and Charlene Choi Cheuk-yin (蔡卓妍) as talent managers. When a talent manager fails to pay off his debt, debt collector Mak Chiu has to take care of eight aspiring celebrities. His inexperience proves to be a hindrance but help comes from Suen Mei-Mei.
Successful debt collector Mak Chiu (Chapman) takes pity on a group of wannabe pop starlets when he goes to collect from the agency they are signed with. Naively thinking that he can do a better job in launching their careers, Mak Chiu takes over the company in lieu of the debt but starts to realize he may have overextended himself. Hoping that things might change with a strategic approach, he hires experienced talent manager Suen Mei-mei but with finances hitting rock bottom and the company on the brink of bankruptcy, a dejected Mak Chiu is soon ready to admit that his Midas touch has run out until a Korean showbiz entity expresses interest in the girls.
Now Mak Chiu has to decide whether he is willing to say goodbye to his investment and, more importantly, to a dream he has come close to achieving.
