520 |a "Happy Times," the second of Zhang Yimou's films set in a modern city, is a bittersweetcomedy. Zhao (Zhao Benshan) is a poor, aging bachelor who hasn't had luck in love. Thinking he has finally met the woman of his dreams, he leads her to believe he is wealthy and agrees to a wedding far beyond his means. Desperate for funds, he turns to his friends, who are weary of his fanciful schemes. Zhao's best friend (Li Xuejian) hatches the idea to raise the money by refurbishing an abandoned bus they will rent out by the hour--the "Happy Times Hotel"--to young couples starved for privacy. But this plan goes awry when Zhao is too old-fashioned to allow the couples to have the privacy they are looking for. No one will pay for the "HappyTimes Hotel" if they can't shut the door.
