The “novelist” is Tsui (Justin Cheung) a renowned best-selling author, producing uplifting and romantic stories in the mode of “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” The public image of Tsui is a kindhearted family man who loves his wife (Jeana Ho) deeply. This changes when a beautiful and trendy woman named Elaine (Linah Matsuoka) moves to an upstairs apartment in his building, and her seductive powers are about to challenge the dull domestic life of Tsui.
In a Podtalk with Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com, director Christopher Sun and lead actor Justin Cheung talk about “The Deception of the Novelist.”
