In Viva Erotica (Sik ching nam lui), a director in crisis agrees, at the urging of his pragmatic girlfriend (Karen Mok), to direct a low-budget porn film. But between producers who are uninterested in his “artistic vision” and a reluctant lead actress (Shu Qi), the project proves more complicated than expected. Shooting a porn film, he discovers, is not easy at all.
In a brief sequence at the 23rd minute, Shu Qi covers her breasts with a sheet while a film crew is filming her. Suddenly, the girl drops the sheet and shows her breasts. At the thirty-ninth minute, Shu Qi is lying on a bed wearing only a shirt and blue lipstick. A man opens her shirt to reveal her breasts, then kisses her legs and feet. Around them is the crew filming everything. The sequence resumes at the fifty-third minute. This time, the man gets on top of Shu Qi to simulate missionary sex. At the sixty-fifth minute, Karen Mok gets out of bed in her panties and tank top and goes to the bathroom to bang on the ceiling with a suction cup and try to silence the tenants upstairs who are fucking loudly. At the seventy-fifth minute, Shu Qi, naked, leans against a cabinet full of empty bottles while a director films her. A naked man stands in front of her and they have sex leaning against the shelves. At the eighty-eighth minute, Shu Qi shows us her full-frontal nude in a slightly blurred scene.
