Oh. Thanks

Your editor doesn't force you

to follow me anymore?

No.

The new director of your film

is the hot topic now, not you

Honey

Would you ever sell me out?

Of course not!

Why has Ki disappeared

from the magazines?

That's normal. She's not a superstar.

Just another shooting star passing by

What do you know?

You don't know what you're talking about!

You're a Ki Chu fan?

So am

"Support Kar Wai's vision.

Boycott the new director's version"

"Support, like"

Kar Wai! Kar Wai! Kar Wai!

"I'll boycott the movie if

they replace the director"

"Change the director? Are they nuts?"

"That pisses me off so effing much!"

"I support Too Old For Satan!"

"Why don't they hire Ang Lee, then?"

What does everyone think about replacing Kar Wai?

What was that title? Too Old For Satan?

Who would want to see a film with that title?

I've reviewed the contract.

The company won't suffer any loss

from replacing the director

But it will affect our public image

Honestly... I think that

we shouldn't have hired a new actress

We lose box office guarantee,

and it's a tough sell

Am I right, Shirley?

Sorry, I only handle foreign films.

Aren't you from Hong Kong, Shirley?

You're all from Hong Kong,

and yet you don't support local cinema

Why are any of you working in film?

Aren't we supposed to support local culture?

I hired Kar Wai because

I believe in his innovative thinking

I think we should respect the filmmaker's vision

I chose Ki Chu because

I think she has real potential

We only make 40 to 50 films a year now

The chances of finding new talent is slim.

If we can't take up that mission

then Hong Kong cinema won't stand a chance!

Get ready, everybody!

What?

What are you doing?

I haven't heard from you in ages!

Now it's more than the husband

Jeff is involved now

Can't you be a more professional paparazzi?

Can't you be a more professional paparazzi?

I gave Tat so many scoops,

but he hasn't published them

What do you think her husband looks like?

Is he buff?

No way

Is he handsome?

I don't think so

He probably isn't wealthy too

I'm guessing that he looks like a toad

How can that toad reach the clouds?

Do I really look like a toad?

My wife isn't that vain

She's not obsessed with looks

We didn't date for very long

before getting married

but I know her. She's not materialistic

I'm not as rich or handsome as Jeff

but I have ambitions

and smarts, right?

And I don't look like a toad at all

Breeeaaaking newwwwwssssss!

Tonight, Jeff and Ki Chu will...

Please speak faster, Ching Yu!

I know you know that I'm not Ching Yu

They will be at Jack's Restaurant

in Lei King Wan tonight

You know what to do!

Hey, honey

This commercial shoot is running late

I won't make it home for dinner

OK:

Are you ready, Ki?

Almost. Give me ten minutes!

No problem, take your time

Poser! He probably stole that from a movie

I know you like BBQ pork rice and cart noodles

So I hope you'll like what I've prepared tonight

She's changed...

It's over...

Thank you for your kindness, Jeff

But I only want to think about

my career at this stage

What if I'm stopping

all your work from tomorrow?

Fine!

If I have to be your girlfriend

to have a career

then I don't want one

I don't want to trade something for work

Good. I love your personality!

You won't sell yourself out to get what you want

Ki. I officially announce

that I intent to go after you

He's gone too far!

Fine!

Honey? Are you done with work?

I don't want to talk about it right now.

I'll tell you when I get home

How dare you hang up on me?

Cheers! Come on!

It's go time!

Be careful

Thank you

Be careful, Ki

Good night

Mr. Sin!

Are you Ki's boyfriend now?

Were you already going after her

when you cast her?

We clearly saw you kiss Ki.

What is your relationship?

Please calm down, everyone

I just drove Ki home after dinner

The kiss you just saw was a polite goodbye kiss

What is your relationship, exactly?

Ki is my employee, and I am her boss

Is that all there is to it?

Can you be more clear?

Did you cast Ki because

you wanted to go after her?

Or did you just want to sleep with her?

Was this a case of the "casting couch"?

Watch your mouth!

There was a rumor that Ki is already married

If that's true,

then this makes you a home wrecker!

Listen. I admit that I like Ki Chu

Did you hear that? He says he likes you!

You think he likes you for your talent?

He just likes your body

Stop it! I remember you

You handed in doctored photos to Tat

and said that she's married

You handed in doctored photos to Tat

and said that she's married

Good thing that I stopped the publication in time

or you would've destroyed Ki's reputation!

I've asked Ki. She said that

she's not married!

Of course she wouldn't admit it

She loses the role if she does

Where's your proof that Ki is married?

I have proof!

I'm her husband!

I'm Ki Chu's husband!

Shoot me! You've been searching for me, right?

I am your boss!

I'm her husband! Shoot me!

Let's go

Toady is reaching for the sky

He's crazy!

I'm her husband!

That's toady, isn't it?

No way

You made the cover!

Don't run away

Have a copy on me.

It's normal to land on the cover

My wife used to be a star, too.

She is also on this week's cover!

See! Here, take it!

Take a photo with me!

"Reaching for the sky:

Crazed fan claims to be Ki's husband."

"Find Ki's husband, and I vow

that you will return to breaking news"

What do you have to say?

What do I have to say?

There is nothing to say

You know what I want to say

Everything's changed since you got this role

Our live has changed.

Our relationship has changed

My life has changed

Are you happy now?

Why should I be happy?

Should I be happy about a husband

who doesn't understand me?

You still remember that you have a husband?

When you hid away your ring

Do you know how terrible your husband felt?

I don't think you see me as your husband!

When did I do that?!

I can't wear my ring because of my work

When have I neglected my duties as your wife?

Except for that fried egg you made

before our wedding

You've never cooked for me

I always have to get BBQ pork rice

or cart noodles

I'm sick and tired of them!

I told you I wanted soda,

fried chicken, hamburgers

But you won't let me eat them!

It's for your own good!

They're unhealthy!

So you won't let me eat anything unhealthy

You say I should read more

because I need to broaden my horizon

Guess what? I can write my own book now

It'll be called "My Wife is a Superstar"

I'll put my experiences in there!

I didn't know you were

so dissatisfied with this marriage

What about me?

Have you ever considered how I feel?

Do you know how I survived these few years?

I apologize at the end of every argument!

Why don't you do that for me?

Do you know how many men wanted me?

I ignored my family, my friends

They said some really nasty things,

but I insisted on marrying you

You don't know how much I sacrificed for you!
