Happy Times

synopsis


Zhao (Zhao Benshan) is an economically challenged aging bachelor who hasn't had much luck in love. So he enlists the help of a matchmaker to find a wife. Thinking he has finally met the woman of his dreams, he leads her to believe that he is wealthy and agrees to a wedding far beyond his means. Desperate for funds, he turns to his friends and together they hatch the scheme to raise the money by refurbishing an abandoned bus they will rent out by the hour - the "Happy Times Hotel" - to young couples starved for privacy. But the plan goes awry when the bus is hauled away to the dump. Believing he is a wealthy hotelier, his fiancee persuades Zhao to hire her blind stepdaughter, Wu Ying (Dong Jie), as a masseuse at his hotel. Creating a tangled and hilarious mess of lies in order to employ her, Zhao must create a fake hotel environment in an abandoned factory, so she believes he has a legitimate job. Finally, he is forced to come clean, which turns out to be both a heartbreaking and hiliarious life lesson for all involved.
