My Wife Is a Superstar Page #2

you've achieved. Right?

Right

Not everyone approved of

our marriage back then

No one believes that

a toad can jump to the clouds

But you worked hard to marry me

This is the fruit of your labor

So, where is the fruit of

your house cleaning labor?!

Ah!

I knew you'd get that New Year film lead role!

Congratulations, Ching Yu!

It's not confirmed yet.

I don't want anyone feeding lies

to reporters for attention

I'm in a good mood today. Lunch is on me!

Thanks so much, Ching Yu!

That's so nice of you

Thank Ching Yu for her kindness!

Why?

She's buying lunch!

Thanks, Ching Yu! Let me get the orders

Red bean drink, extra red bean!

Got it

Do! Re! Me!

Who are you?

...Whore...

What?

...the Whore...

Oh, the hooker! We have replaced you

What?

Go talk to Baldy. He'll pay you

Another fallen star in the film industry

- Hello

- Excuse me, are you Ki Chu?

That's me

I'm calling from Outstanding Productions

My boss Jeff would like to meet you.

Are you free?

I am. Very free!

When? Where? I'll be there right away

Hello, Miss Chu. I'm Jeff Sin

Jeff Sin? I know you

Please, just call me Jeff

I had to make some changes,

so I took out your role...

What did I do to you?

Do you think this is musical chairs?

You think you can control us like puppets

because you're rich?

Please leave us, Judy

Sit down, Miss Chu

Fine

Aren't extras people, too?

You can't just kill an actors' dream

because you have the power to!

Do you think that you

represent the film industry? All of society?

All of Hong Kong?

Everyone in Hong Kong likes me.

Just ask around

I have a Facebook page.

Do you know how many likes it has?

...Yes, it only has about 20,

but at least people like me!

Do you know how important extras are?

We put our all into every line we have,

every chance we get

Do you know?

We lack a new generation of talent.

Did you ever give us a chance?

A film uses an average of 20 background actors

When Hong Kong made 300 films a year,

we needed 6,000 extras

Do you know what that means?

That's 6,000 chances!

Now, there are only 40, 50 films a year.

How many chances did we lose?

You fire people on a whim.

Did you think of our feelings?

People like you are killing Hong Kong cinema

Haha... Miss Ki Chu, are you done?

I'm done

Please sit down

You may have failed as an extra

How about a lead role?

But it comes with a condition

Do you have a reservation, sir?

Why? There are empty tables all over

We require a reservation.

It's how we know that you're meant to be here

Meant to be here?

Hi, table for two under Chu

Please follow me

Why are you dressed like that?

Shush!

Why are you dressed like that?

Shush!

You're the loud one. What's going on?

Is today an anniversary? Why the expensive meal?

This meal is on me. Don't worry

It's on you? Did you win the lottery

or lose your sanity?

Neither

Today... my boss offered me a lead role!

Isn't that better than winning the lottery?

Shouldn't we celebrate?

That sounds too good to be true

Did you have to do anything?

You can't have

Why would you sell yourself for a lead role?

Do you remember that you're married?

Now you think I'm the invisible one?

Shh! It's not what you think

The company just forbids me

from dating. No rumors, either

That's it?

That's easy

No dating and no scandals...

That's fine with me

But you have to help me

I told you, it's fine

I'll dress nicer. No more slob!

Do you get what I'm saying?

If they won't let me date,

why would they let me get married?

That's why you have to help me

You have to help

Are you ready to order?

We're not hungry.

Just get us two glasses of water

One normal, one with the star

What's the water with the star?

You know, the French one with

carbonation! With an S

S...

What's after that?

Do you mean San Pellegrino?

But that comes from Italy, not France

Oops... hahaha

What's the water with the star? How pretentious

I'm a star now

I have to act like one.

That means my water needs a star on it

Cheers!

You're really something

Hi, Ching Yu

Hi, everyone

You're all early. Thank you all!

Ching Yu!

Congratulations.

That lead role is definitely yours!

I hope you're right.

You get an autograph for being so sweet

Really? Does anyone have a pen?

Here!

Thanks

I'll sign here

- I'll do it now

- I want it too! But my shirt is in black...

- It doesn't matter

- because I might be too busy to do it later

See you later!

That's pretty nice, isn't it?

Hello! Thank you all for attending

our film's press conference

As you can see,

to say a few words for us

Hello, everyone. I would like to announce that

Thank you!

Kar Wai

Thank you! I want to thank

Jeff for his kind offer

This $80 million Chinese New Year blockbuster

will be made using very innovative technique

It will be a groundbreaking

experience for the audience

I'm excited about this already

I'm sure that you all want to know

who will be starring in the film

Please tell us, Mr. Sin

We have also made a

very generous offer to cast Miss Ching Yu

Please welcome Ching Yu!

Hi! Thank you, everyone

Thank you for your support.

I won't disappoint you...

Thank you for taking up

the supporting role in this film, Ching Yu!

Who can it be?

Who's the lead, then?

Who will be playing the lead role, Mr. Sin?

The lead role for our film

Please welcome Ki Chu!

Hello...

Congratulations! You really have a great eye

for new talent, Jeff!

Let's get together for a group photo!

Please get closer

Over here! This way!

Please pose for the center first

Over here! This way!

Please pose for the left side too

Be honest.

When can I go back

to doing breaking news?

If you don't file anything today,

you're going to the kids' newspaper!

I do have something.

I've got a scoop about this girl!

What's on going? What scoop?

Never mind...

Are you confident about

your first lead role, Ki?

I'm still new to this business.

There's still plenty to learn

The director is known to be demanding.

Will you be able to handle it?

I will need guidance from all of you

in the future.

Thank you all!

The new girl! Miss Chu

Jeff, you've got something special here

Take care of her for me

Sure thing

Pay special attention to this one

Of course I will

Are you a trained actor?

It's OK. Leave it to me

Everyone says that when I'm handed a rookie

I give them back a superstar

You still have a three-film contract with me

You're holding plenty of good stuff, Jeff!

What are you doing?

Paparazzis can reach you anywhere these days

There's always one lurking nearby!

Don't say that. You said it yourself

paparazzis are journalists, too.

This isn't so bad

I can be your mole.

We definitely won't get caught

You're really something!

Focus! Get these

magazines on the shelf
