Original Kings of Comedy
Work harder! Keep on!
Cut!
Wake up! Even extras are actors.
We're not making a ghost film now.
Though you guys
play the roles of pedestrians,
but your roles still have life an soul.
Especially we've chance to act with
the Kungfu actress Queen Cuckoo Tu...
so we should grasp this chance.
Act smartly, OK?
Action!
Cut!
- Who are you?
- I'm an actor.
Aunt Ha!
Yes.
- Who is this guy?
- An extra.
I'm an actor.
Are you mistaken?
How can you let him touch my machine?
Sorry, Brother Sunny,
I just went to toilet.
so I asked him to do the rehearsal.
Find someone who knows how to act,
we need one urgently.
- Let me do it.
- You?
Show me the expression of "nervous".
There're several kinds
of nervous expression.
The one on the face of a husband
whose wife is delivering a baby.
The baby is given birth.
But the wife is dead.
The baby calls him dad, he's a genius.
His dick is on his head, he's abnormal.
He wins Mark Six... first prize!
His son is dead...
His wife comes back to life.
His wife comes back to life.
No more response,
if one is struck too hard emotionally...
he will enter a state of mental coma,
he'll show no response.
Aunt Ha, what have I done wrong?
I don't know what you were doing.
Was there anything wrong
with my expression?
I've said I didn't know
what you were doing.
Aunt Ha, none of your extras
is smart enough.
All these extras are above standard.
Sunny, is it done?
Everyone is waiting.
OK... Director, it'll soon be done...
- You, go and change your clothes.
- Thanks.
- Stand in this position.
- Got it.
- Lighting.
- Lighting is ready.
- Settings.
- Settings ready.
Actors.
Stand-by.
Sorry, Director.
According to the character of my role.
I want to play my role
with a bit naughtiness...
But contradiction. Will this be better?
OK, Speed.
Speed.
- Scene 3. Shot 4, take 1.
- Action!
Cut!
What is it?
What's wrong with the guy behind.
He's supposed to be dead.
- What are you doing? Aunt Ha!
- What is it? Brother Sunny?
What is your extra up to?
How come you are still alive?
As I said I'd play my role
with a bit naughtiness.
So subconsciously
I don't want to die yet.
You must pretend to be dead.
Actually, I was dying.
If you give me a bit more time,
I'll die eventually.
Do you know how many frames of film
are there in one second?
24 frames, Sister Cuckoo.
Do you know
how long is the shot just then?
Do you know as you didn't want to die...
that you've wasted how many seconds,
how many frames and how much money
and how much time
I'm begging you, you'd better
find a professional extra for this role.
Get someone smarter and shoot again!
You'd better be smart!
Go home and think about
when exactly you want to die.
OK, Brother Sunny.
Aunt Ha, what have I done wrong?
Don't ask me again, I really don't know
what you were doing.
- Then I...
- Get lost.
You remind me I must go to a meeting
of Neighbour Welfare Association.
I'll be right back.
You don't have to come back.
I'm begging you, stop making trouble.
Let the director watch your performance?
Director, what kind of performance?
You are shot to dead, ready.
Action!
Was it OK, Director?
This is it, go and change your clothes.
- Go ahead.
- Thanks...
Where did you learn acting, man?
- I've never learnt it.
- You're a real genius.
You can make it if you work hard.
Why are you still standing here?
F*** off!
What are you doing here?
Unit manager,
I want to get a lunch box only.
It's not yet lunch time.
- As I'm leaving now, so I...
- Then you just go!
Do you know why it's not yet lunch time?
Just because of you, bastard,
you didn't want to die!
And now everyone is working
and starving.
I haven't eaten as well!
Do you want to have lunch?
Share your lunch with that puppy!
Sh*t, you're a dump of sh*t.
Your life is cheaper than ants.
I ride a Mercedes,
you pick your nostril.
You want to have lunch?
You better eat sh*t!
Why did you just come back now?
- You guys have lunch already?
- Shut up, get me a ping pong racket.
OK!
Where's the ping pong ball?
Get me one now.
Quick.
- Right away.
- Hurry.
This is Neighbour Welfare Association.
You mustn't be late,
many people are waiting for you.
Hello, Aunt Ha?
Nothing, I want to check the time
for tomorrow notice.
You haven't for tomorrow.
What about the day after tomorrow?
Nothing for the day after tomorrow
and so on.
Aunt Ha, where are you?
None of your business, what do you want?
I check with you again, is there notice
for role without dialogue?
No.
- Any role that can't be seen clearly?
- No.
Any role that can't he seen completely?
I can't see you now. Don't trouble me.
- Aunt Ha, where are you?
- Go to hell!
Dear fellows.
The play "Thunder Storm" is adapted from
a well-known Chinese classic literature.
You guys all know it well.
Tomorrow, I'll be leading actor,
you guys want to see it, right?
So, I'll see you guys tomorrow then.
Kelly, is there anything to do
after dinner tomorrow?
Taking a dump.
Come and watch Uncle San's play
after taking a dump, it'll be fun.
Remember to bring your dad and mom too.
If they don't come, you can cry,
spit around.
Do whatever you can until they come,
then you'll be a good girl.
I pamper you, Kelly.
Kelly, if I don't see you tomorrow.
You'll result like this doll.
You get that?
Uncle Chi, the play "Thunder Storm"
will be on show tomorrow night.
Have you studied the script well?
Yes, don't worry.
I can even compose a song.
Old Master sings
whenever he sees the maid.
You're beautiful...
Uncle Chi, I'm the one
who sing the theme song.
And the role of "Old Master"
you play is a Chinese as well.
When the maid sees the Old Master,
she will sing...
You're so handsome, you're so smart...
- Thank you much, please to...
- I accept you...
- Are you OK?
Think positive, Uncle Chi.
Someone helps me, come on.
Master Hung, morning.
My play "Thunder Storm"
will soon be showing.
Shall we make another rehearsal?
Do I need to rehearsal? "Thunder Storm"
is about righteous, I knew it.
We're triad society member,
we only talk about two things.
First, about righteous,
second, about money.
I'll talk about righteous first.
"Righteous" is good, but we mustn't
ignore the love line of the story.
Because the role you play
will finally be struck to death.
Talking about "struck" (chopping),
let me tell you...
There are two kinds of "struck"
(chopping) in our world.
First, it is "dragging".
Second is "stabbing".
Look, this scar was dragged by knife.
While "stabbing" is like this.
This scoundrel is new comer, sorry,
he shows no expression.
"Stabbing" is like this.
Be serious,
let us know if you feel the pain, OK?
Your acting is lousy.
Brother Sau, teaching him for me.
Talking about "pain"...
according to Stanisslavski,
