Your Place or Mine! (Chinese: 每天愛你8小時) is a 1998 Hong Kong romantic sex-comedy film written and directed by James Yuen and produced by Wong Jing.
Plot
Cheung is an advertising executive who has dated many women, often with the same talent that he employed. However, they all invariably leave him, the act referred to as "flying away". One day, he becomes captivated with an unknown talent Ah-yu at a photoshoot. After she signs with Cheung's agency, they begin seeing each other. Concurrently, Cheung grows closer to his stern new boss Vivian, who he discovers is dating a married man.
As Ah-yu's career takes off, Cheung agrees to sign her off to a different management agency so that she can expand her career in Japan. Cheung asks his father whether he has been involved with two women at once. His father tells him that regulation football rules does not allow two footballs on the field at the same time. Later, Vivian ends her affair and almost hooks up with Cheung at his apartment. However, Ah-yu unexpectedly returns, confused about being sent to Japan, only to find Cheung and Vivian together. Both women leave as it cuts to his father giving him metaphorical red card.
On the day of Ah-yu's departure, Cheung struggles to decide between both women. He decides to go to the airport and choose there only to be stopped by Vivian. She gives Cheung an ultimatum of marriage, but Cheung declines the offer. At that moment, he realizes that having to do the "flying away" is just as heartbreaking as having to receive it. Cheung reunites with Ah-yu at the airport and offers to fly together with her to Japan.
In the epilogue, Cheung is back in Hong Kong as Ah-yu's popularity grows in Japan. He receives a phone call in French as he insinuates to his father that he's actually a bigger fan of snooker.
