Superstar singers Eason Chan & Li Ronghao team up onscreen for the comedy Keep Calm & Be a Superstar. Directed by Vincent Kok ( Two Wrongs Make a Right), the showbiz crime action comedy casts Li Ronghao as the straight man, an undercover detective, to Eason Chans preening action star. With Chans character being a thinly veiled parody of Jackie Chan, Keep Calm & Be a Superstar packs in many insider jokes & satirical jabs about the entertainment industry.
A huge fan of Hong Kong police films since childhood, Tiezhu (Li Ronghao) dreamed of becoming a police officer, but couldnt because of his asthma. Instead, he became a private detective. His latest case brings him to Hong Kong to tail a celeb. Somehow, he gets roped into going undercover for the police to investigate his idol, international action star Bao (Eason Chan). The police suspect that Bao may be involved with a Thai drug lord & using film shooting as a cover for illegal activities. To clear Baos name, Tiezhu accepts the mission & joins the film set. Contrary to his heroic onscreen image, Bao turns out to be a mediocre martial artist with terrible acting skills, much to Tiezhus disappointment. Bao, however, thinks highly of Tiezhu after the latter saves him from an on-set accident, & even promotes Tiezhu to a supporting role in his film. The closer Tiezhu gets to Bao, the closer he gets to both the truth & the risk of being exposed.
