Miriam Yeung is Fung Siu-Man, a spunky Hong Kong girl who works as a Budweiser beer girl. For the uninitiated, a beer girl hangs out at local restaurants and hawks her sponsor's beer onto the local patrons. Despite the sordid-sounding job, Siu-Man is actually quite wholesome and is the standard Miriam Yeung type, i.e. mouthy and independent, and in need of a proper boyfriend. Triad tough guy Brother Nine (Alex Fong Chung-Sun) digs her, but she won't be his. Besides the fact that she doesn't like blustery triad dudes, Siu-Man can drink Brother Nine and every other guy under the table. Siu-Man's talent: total alcohol immunity, meaning nobody can get her drunk. Those expecting the movie to hinge on Siu-Man's inability to get drunk had best look elsewhere. Gratefully, this isn't a completely high-concept film.

Siu-Man meets the inebriated Michel (Daniel Wu), a French-Chinese chef who runs a local French eatery. However, business is bad; it seems Michel's dishes are beyond the casual tastes of local Hong Kong residents, so it's closing time. Michel is so broke that he doesn't even have a place to live. Luckily, Siu-Man's apartment is inordinately large for a beer girl, plus she'd like to open her own cafe. She makes Michel a deal: run his restaurant at night, and she'll run a cafe by day, plus he'll get room and board at her flat. For added fun, they can pretend to be platonic roommates after hours. Big surprise: that doesn't happen, meaning audiences will swoon at the sight of Daniel Wu and Miriam Yeung getting it on pretty damn quick. But with the onset of a relationship comes all sorts of new troubles, i.e. commitment, marriage, differing goals, and the requisite romantic rivals. Will Siu-Man and Michel be able to make their cohabitation last?

When Joker (Daniel Wu) meets Ling (Lee Sin Je) in a disco one night, he feels that he has found the perfect model of his dream project, princess-d. Based on the image of Ling, he plans to create a novel virtual idol on the internet. In reality, however, Ling is the opposite of the perfect image. Her father is jailed for life, her mother remains half-conscious after an attack, and her brother holds no proper job but only wants to make himself known as a gangster. Together with Joker's younger brother Kid (Edison Chen), the trio works hard towards their goal while problems keep running out of hand…

Special agent Nick (Daniel Wu) is deep undercover in the heart of Asia's lucrative crime trade as he plays protégé to one of the key players in the game, "Banker" (Andy Lau). In the eight years he has been infiltrating the underworld industry, Nick has amassed enough evidence to indict Banker, but has been ordered to remain undercover and expose the identity of the man behind Banker in order to bring down the entire organisation. However, as Nick becomes more trusted and embroiled with Banker's crime family, he finds himself corrupted by the easy money and his new found power. Unable to separate himself from his undercover persona, he immerses himself into his role as a crime figure. In the seedy underbelly of mob culture, where redemption comes at a price and the borders of justice, loyalties and truth are constantly changing, Nick grapples with dangerous choices and finds himself flirting with more than the devil. Protégé is a suspense-filled exploration of the complex relationships and loyalties within the multilayered, international crime syndicates of today.

The star tenor Daniel Behle sings for the first time here in a Genuin production. Together with the orchestra of the Kammeroper München, he interprets two of the most beautiful song cycles ever, namely Franz Schubert's Schwanengesang and Robert Schumann's Dichterliebe. In both cycles, Alexander Krampe transforms the original piano accompaniment into an exciting orchestral arrangement. This is best supported by the sonorous and supple voice of Daniel Behle: from the delicate weaving of Schubert's Liebesbotschaft to the pale surfaces of his Doppelgänger to the cutting rhythms of Schumann's Die alten, bösen Lieder.

Pensate a una melodia che non riuscite a togliervi dalla testa. Potrebbe essere un pezzo dei Beatles così come il jingle della vostra birra preferita, non ha importanza. Non vorreste sapere perché quella particolare combinazione di ritmo e armonia si è incollata nel vostro cervello, e vi ha portato quasi alle lacrime o vi ha fatto ballare come degli ossessi? "Fatti di musica" è il libro che fa per voi. Fopo una carriera come musicista rock e produttore musicale, Levitin si è dedicato alle scienze cognitive. In lui convivono, perfettamente allineate, l'anima e l'attitudine dell'artista e dello scienziato, in grado di ridurre una melodia a un impulso neurale, analizzarlo, e ripercorrere il tragitto inverso per farlo ritornare a essere quello che è: una meravigliosa esperienza. E tutto questo senza privarsi del piacere di lasciarsi trasportare dalla buona musica. Prefazione di Wu Ming 2.
