Co-produced with Emperor Entertainment, Shaw Brothers and Hong Kong's number one television network TVB collaborate for the third time for the period comedic romp The Jade and the Pearl.
Filmed in the grasslands on the outskirts of Beijing and Hebei, China, the 40mil yuan (RM18.8mil) romantic comedy was formerly known as The Emerald And The Pearl. The story is said to be loosely based on the 1962 opera film Princess In Distress (also known as Romance Of The Phoenix Chamber) which starred Mak Bing Ming, Leung Sing Bo, Fung Wong Nui and Tam Lan Hing.
Princess Yan (Charlene Choi) and General Cheng (Raymond Lam) first meet when one insults the other at a local matchmaking party. Soon after that, Cheng is assigned to escort the princess to get married to the prince of the Far Far Away nation. On the road, the two enemies grow to become friends and even fall in love. However, a group of bandits - led by San Niang (Joey Yung) - attack the convoy, and the two lovers are separated amidst the chaos. While San Niang kidnaps Cheng and falls in love with him in the process, a failing writer (Wong Cho Lam) takes in Yan after a nasty fall causes her to lose her memory.
