Introduction

Joe Ma takes on Hong Kong popular culture with Diva - Ah Hey, his latest in a series of overwhelmingly mellow comedies. The Cantonese title of the film has multiple meanings, the most literal being "Next stop Tin Hau," an actual stop on Hong Kong's convenient Mass Transit Railway system. However, a more appropriate meaning for this film would be "Next stop Heavenly Queen," which refers to the top female singers in the ever-saturated Cantopop stratosphere.

Summary

Charlene Choi stars as Ah Hey, an impossibly positive and perky girl who desires to be a top Cantopop star. She begs her fishmonger father (Lam Suet) to introduce her to Harry (Jordan Chan), an old family friend who currently manages the career of new idol singer Shadow (Niki Chow). Harry shoots Ah Hey down without hesitation, but he hires her on as an assistant. Soon, Ah Hey is working with Harry, Shadow and Wing (Shawn Yu), the company chauffeur. She's content to help out, biding her time for her own personal shot at stardom.
