My Wife Is a Superstar

1

It's 8:
34 in the AM.

It's getting warm outside

Good Morning, everyone!

Welcome to this morning's show.

I'm your host, Sky!

We're honored to have

the new godfather of Hong Kong cinema

Jeff Sin of Outstanding Productions here with us

Hi, Jeff!

Good Morning!

Jeff, your Chinese New Year film

last year was a huge hit

What's your next move?

Thank you

We're planning our next Chinese New Year film now

We'll cast a new actress

for the female lead

It'll be a fresh face for the audience

That's great news!

I hope all of you paid attention

because you may be that next big star!

How much will you invest into the film?

We will invest HK$89 million into this production

The talented Kar Wai

is already on board as our director

That's exciting news!

That's all the time we have today

Thanks to Jeff for coming on the show

We're looking forward to more

great Hong Kong films from him

Of course!

Tune in the same time next week

for the latest movie news

We'll be right back. Stay tuned

If I have the chance to star

in a film, I would...

Stand aside, Dreamy!

My name is Ki Chu, not Dreamy

Dreamy, as in Daydreaming.

Do you understand Cantonese?

Go daydream somewhere else.

Do you get what I'm saying?

This chair is for the lead actress!

Ching Yu! Please take a seat!

You look so nice today!

Daydreamers should go home.

We're trying to work here

He's not going to cast a new actress

It's just publicity

Who would spend $80 million

on a new face?

Whore Number One, in position! Where is she?

Here!

What are you doing? Get changed!

Got it!

Hurry!

Don't look down on the entertainment beat

We made these stars into

who they are today

Who exposed the two-faced and the liars?

Entertainment reporters are

also out for the truth!

Don't lie! Isn't it still tabloid paparazzi work?

I have a journalism degree

from Chinese University. With honors!

Get a rookie for a job like this

I belong on the battlefield

One day,

I'll follow the footsteps

of my idol Robert Capa

My photos will be revolutionary. Stunning

I'll be like those foreign journalists

I'll come home with my head held high,

adored by all!

I was just like you once.

I competed in a beauty pageant

If I hadn't lost to that b*tch Spinach Lin,

I wouldn't be here!

Wait! Don't leave! Let me finish

A cleaning lady can dream, too!

You're in love with the Twelfth Master.

Just deliver the tea to him

Got it! I will bring out my Audrey Hepburn smile

and follow the Stanislavki method

Go inside out and outside in

to attract his attention

I don't give a damn what you use

Just give him the tea and flirt with him

I don't know anything about flirting

I don't care! Just do something!

Director

Hi, Mr. Sin!

Tell me about this scene

It's a great scene!

We haven't started yet, but we will soon

What brings you here today?

You haven't started?

Yo! Can we get started!

What are we waiting for?!

Where's the AD?!

Here!

Didn't you hear me say hurry up?

Excuse me

As we discussed last time,

can we increase the budget?

In today's market, HK$20 million isn't a lot

Ready! Here we go!

Roll Sound!

Sound speed!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Shift right to get a better angle of my face.

I'll concentrate better

Also, I'm not Tony Leung.

Focus on my nose, it's where the drama lies

Come on, act smart. Let's go again!

OK, let's go!

And... action!

Here's the pipe, Twelfth Master!

Yu Fa, I don't...

Cut! What are you doing with your eyes,

Whore Number One?!

We have to go again because of you!

For you!

Forget it

Let's go again!

Screw it.

Give me two tight shots instead

I don't want to see Whore Number One again

Back to positions

Action!

Here's the pipe, Twelfth Master

Don't leave me, Yu Fa!

Ahh!!

Ahhhhh!!!!

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!

Cut!

What the hell?

Just play what you're asked to play.

Why are you acting up?

Where did you find this girl?

Forget it

Lunch time!!!

Why the hell is the door opened?

Your sh*t doesn't stink? Get out!

You'll fall for me in 15 seconds

That's not how you do it.

I'll show you

You'll fall for me in 15 seconds

Hey! Are you listening to me?

I put my heart into today's scene,

but I was mocked in return

You know?

We're called a dying industry

because of people like them

When I become a star,

I'll change everything

My life is already changed

before you can change the industry

I got transferred

out of breaking news

Don't be sad. It'll be OK, right?

Yeah, it'll be OK, right?

You're still a journalist

Hey!

Hey!!

Hey!!!

You can't drink soda just because you're happy.

You're out of shape

You were an athlete when we started dating

You had such a romantic wedding proposal

Now, look at you. You're a mess

You men are so unreliable

Hmph... what do you know?

This is the fashionista look of the season

Hmph!

What about you? Look at yourself

You said you were an innocent village girl

when I met you

You even said you could paint and play the pipa

Look at you now!

You're daydreaming about being a star

We moved in two weeks ago.

Look at all this stuff

Why haven't you unpacked?

Your idol is all over the floor!

Poor her

Oh, what happened? I'm really sorry

He's here!

Hello, everyone

Mr. To, will you take off

your underwear at your next show?

Tell us something!

How do you feel about this round of

Israel-Palestine peace talks?

It's a good thing!

World peace is good, right?

But state media isn't very optimistic about it

We should all be a little optimistic.

Anything can happen

A few more questions, Mr. To?

What a great reporter

What kind of question was that?

Cut! Show me the take

You can come watch the playback, Ching Yu

Sure

Don't move! We need continuity

I love these water beads. Good.

OK! We're wrapped for today

Great!

Jeff, you're my favorite

film executive

You're young, hardworking,

and you have the good taste to hire me

You're my favorite director, too, Kar Wai

Ha ha!

I want you to make

an innovative film

Something that will break new mold

for Hong Kong cinema

Sounds great! I have this story

that I've wanted to tell for a long time

I didn't want to sell it to just anyone

I want to give it to someone

who can appreciate it.

That's you!

You're the beacon of hope

for Hong Kong cinema

This is the start of something great, Jeff!

Ha ha!

So, when do I get the deposit check?

Can you see me, honey?

Of course I can. You're not a ghost

Why?

You know,

every character of a film is important

You can't call BBQ pork

without rice a BBQ pork rice

You can't call cart noodles

without noodles a cart noodle

Uh-huh

What are you trying to say?

Why does everyone treat me like

I'm invisible on set?

Those people are just vain

They won't acknowledge you if you're not a star

Those stars are two-faced liars.

You don't belong in that industry

Why?

Do you know how to make the boss happy?

You think they like you for your talent?

They just like your...

...body

Hey!

I don't believe the whole world is like that

You worked hard for everything
