Original subtitles

Screw me...

Cut!

No way...

Cut now? No way, l can`t.

Why`d you ask me not to ``cut``?

What do you mean by ``no cut``?

No.

What was it then?

Get in then?

What is it?

Why are you peeping at me?

Crazy! There`s nothing l`ve seen before.

Silly.

Not you. l mean the ``duck``.

``Why are you peeping?``

``No``

Yeah, it`s cute.

Only now you notice it?

lt`s been there a long time.

Towel.

You won`t notice me,

even if l were to grow a beard.

Like a dummy.

You just unemployed, not the end of the world.

l can work and pay for your living first.

But you have to pay back, you know?

l haven`t worked for a year.

Not quite, well just about, l guess.

l know someone`s gonna call and offer you a job.

- Silly girl. - l`m not.

Show me your duck face.

- Come on. - Easy...

Easy...

Phone...Come on, quick...

- Sing? - Yes, l am.

- Who`s it? - Chung.

Chung.

- What`s up? - Nothing...

So, what is it?

About the script that you mentioned to me.

l`ve found an investor. He likes it.

Come and let`s have a talk.

Did you hear what he said?

Sing, are you there?

l am warning you.

Damn!

Pay up quick.

What do you want me to do?

How many buses and weapons would we need for this fight?

Food and drinks cost money too, you know?

Damn you. You`re talking about ``face``?

Because of your face.

All you care about is your face, isn`t it?

Are you crazy?

l`m doing a legitimate business now.

You think l`m still into dirty dealings?

Go to ask the account department.

lf it can be profitable, come to me.

Now get out!

Sorry...

What were we discussing?

Yes.

Oh yes, the story begins with...

The man arrives MTR and notices that

someone is following him.

Keep tailing him.

He quickly enters the MTR passage.

Boss, you`ve been in MTR,

you know there`re many passages in the station.

The camera will follow him running, then...

lt`ll be a visual effect of movement.

Sorry.

Damn need you ask?

Just burn the shop down.

What`s the matter with the Hong Kong Gov`t?

My movie is showing tonight.

The VCD is already out on the streets.

lt`s gonna affect my box office.

Yes. So burn that shop! Shit!

We`re going too far.

Right, what were we talking about?

MTR?

Yes, the actor finally faces the killer in the MTR.

- Killer, yes, the killer. - Killer...

By the way have you seen the movie...

SEVEN? ``Seven deadly sins``.

l saw it, a low budget film.

We can sell our movies as a comedy.

``Double Seven.``

Dork and Dorker.

Not bad...``Dork and Dorker``.

We also add in some eroticism and violence.

With a HK$2.5 million budget.

We`ll profit for sure. Specially from the overseas market

Great.

Who the leading lady?

Damn, what`s up again?

Mango?

lt`s Mango. Ask her in.

Sugar Daddy, you lied.

You said l got the leading role.

But the Director gave me only the supporting role.

and in the nude too.

lf it was the leading role.

l won`t mind doing the classy sexy scene but...

Okay...Do what you want.

l`m discussing a new project.

Let me introduce you.

This is Hong Kong`s famous Producer and director.

How do you do, director and producer.

Miss Mango.

- ls she okay? - Very good...

Why are you in such a hurry?

What`s wrong with you?

Anyone killed your father or raped your mother?

Well? No.

Why are you behaving so badly?

Did you hear what he said just now?

- What? - Did you hear him?

You said he liked my script,

that`s why l met him.

Now, he`s only interested in making an erotic film.

What...``Seven``.

A comical erotic film.

What movie? He`s only interested in money.

He`s the boss, he has be calculative,

Nothing wrong with X-rated movies?

A lot of people are doing it.

Your last 2 films had flopped.

lf you fail again, you`re finished.

Have you paid your rent,

and the water bills?

Given your mother allowance yet?

Have you?

Movies are illusions. lf you`re on top,

you can do anything you want.

This is the rule of the game.

You`ve been in this line for over 10 years.

Other than making movies,

what else can you do?

You have girlfriend, you can live off of her

or you want her to support your living? Here, take this.

- What`s this for? - What is it for, take it.

Seriously give it a thought and call me tonight

Other than making movies, what can you do?

What can you do...

You again?

Yes. What a coincidence.

l`m delivering documents.

Delivering documents? A new job again?

Yes, l`m now an office assistant in a trading firm.

What about you? Got a job yet?

No, l`ve been making movies over 10 years.

l`ve never tried other work.

Can l still change line?

Why not?

You`re a muti-talented filmmaker.

Know how to kidnap, fight and negotiate.

Boast with the best of them.

So why not?

The Employment Restructuring Plan Division.

They help the unemployed of all ages.

They got me my job.

lt`s pretty good.

Better go and register now.

Brother, some orange?

Did you see me?

What did you say?

Mom, l`ll give your allowance later, OK?

What if l was to sell the flat?

Why sell it?

Mrs. Poon sold hers for nearly HK$2 million.

l want to sell it,

and rent a cheaper one.

Then invest the money in shares.

Mom, please don`t. What if you lose.

What if the price drops?

You know.

l`ve to support your brother and sister.

You have your own family.

l can`t depend on you forever.

lt`s not that l`m unemployed.

Really, you`ve got a job?

What is it?

With the Radio & Television Hong Kong.

When`s your program airing?

Soon. lt`s a sex educational program.

That`s good.

Are you free to see a new flat?

l said don`t sell the flat,

so why see a new one?

l meant the house... l`m going to live in when l die.

Your father`s alone at the Cape Collinson cemetery for years.

l want to accompany him...

Say no more, my dear long-lived mom.

- What? - Bye bye

Always running away. Have some dessert first.

l watched Loong`s movies.

Do you know him?

l told him that it would collect HK$10 million box-office.

but put more feelings for his next movie.

And not to shoot the shit stuff again.

You`re so direct. What was his reaction?

Like you, he stared at me fiercely.

He said he has given the picture his all.

l saw it too,

it`s not too bad.

There are some good scenes in it.

Really? You must be out of touch.

Your standard is falling.

Not buying...

We`re no jobs, do you understand?

We`re unemployed. Unemployed!

Not buying...Go away...

l don`t want to but he pushed me.

Be polite.

No job, buddy.

Do you know lshikawa Jirou?

The Director of ``Bloody Killer``.

That`s a cheap sex film.

- l know him. - Who is he?

But l can`t tell you.

- No! - ls it Edmond?

No.

No? l know all your friends.

lt has to be Edmond, right?

l said no. Don`t bullshit.

He has a wife and kid.

You`re so tense.

lt must be Edmond, right?

Do you know Producer Chung?

That immoral guy.

He called me today,

said he`s shooting a porn film.

And ask if l want to work with him.

X-rated? Will you work with him?

No way!

Such films have bad influence on children.

The money is good...

but you`ll be locked down upon.

Yes, you`ll have bad luck for 3 years.

Then multiple of another 3 years.

You are bluffing!

lf we were willing to do it,

we wouldn`t have stayed here.

Sing.

There she is...

You`re off? Not out catching whores?

Don`t need to.

All you perverts are here.

How is the movie going?

What?

Tell us about your project.

Nothing...

What do you mean no? Aren`t we buddies?

- lt`s nothing. - Just bullshit.

l`ll even do X-rated films.

Do you like plastic watches?

lt`s alike those expensive watches.

But it`s very cheap, only $100.

Want one?

You sell watches too!

He wants me to do an X-rated film.

He wants me to do an X-rated film.

lt`s okay.

Chung wants you make an X-rated film?

You`re filmmakers?

l was a filmmaker too.

But didn`t work out successfully.

There`s nothing wrong making porno films.

``Seven Sex Maniacs`` starring by tits many years ago.

lt made the man nosebleed seeing it.

Yes.

Do it.

You don`t mind?

Do be silly.

You just do a good job of it.

Right,

make it more classy and entertaining.

How about buying one watch to celebrate?

OK, l`ll take this one.

Call me when you need an extra role.

l won`t mind.

lt`s deal.

Go...!

Hey, that`s fast enough.

Don`t listen to her, she`s crazy!

Action.

Cut.

Ready.

Action.

Cut, wait.

Sorry, sir.

We`re making experimental film.

You`re in our camera.

- Sorry. - lt`s OK.

You`re still using films while all are video taping.

Yes. Are you writing a script?

Yes.

Sorry to bother you, take your time.

OK, thank you!

``A great achievement is``

``a man make his opportunity`

``as often as work it out.``

``Hold fast to a dream.``

``l`ve left home on a summer day.``

``A heavy rain pours on my face.``

``Then, l find my way.``

``The end.``

``Viva Erotica.``

How is it?

lt`s good.

Really?

But...

Why the villain has been shot in the public?

No one calls the police?

l`m a cop, l must know it better.

Also, the old man,

why is he impotent?

lf he`s not impotent.

He may not get the sex maniac audience`s appeal.

The woman too,

why that stranger rapes her.

And she feels good about it.

And she`s having orgasm.

But she`s a whore, no way.

She already got paid,

why she still sits on the bed?

l really don`t know what she is waiting for.

Do l know what this story is all about?

Why make films?

Why need a camera?

Why call ``camera``,

action and ``cut``?

Help, don`t kill me.

Don`t rape me.

Help, don`t kill me. Don`t rape me.

Let go of the cloth.

Hands up.

Help...

Please raise your hands.

Hands up.

Cut.

Don`t rape me.

Can you please put your hands up?

Why?

No one raise hands like this.

l don`t think so.

Why not?

At gunpoint wouldn`t you put up your hands?

lf you do,

the cloth will fall

and expose you more.

So, you`ll get a chance to fight back.

l won`t.

l`ll hide at an angle which is less revealing.

lf he comes this side, l`ll run this way.

lf he comes up again.

l`ll move to this corner.

Or else.

l can hide to be bear here.

You see.

l should have run earlier.

Why did l stay on?

l can escape using the ladder.

Director, let`s skip the scene.

Let`s do Chiu`s scene first.

Miss Mango.

You`ve shot many scenes, take a break.

l`ll buy some pears for you, OK?

Fine.

Make sure it`s juicy.

l`m allergic to other fruits.

Bitch!

Dicky, are you alright? Sorry.

There`s a change.

When Chiu points at Mango,

use the hand-held camera.

Hand-held camera again?

Please don`t, you know.

People in the underdeveloped countries...

when seeing unsteady hand-held shots,

will think there problem with the camera.

But it`s more motional with a hand-held camera.

What motion?

Every shot is hand-held.

Can`t you get motion without a hand-held camera?

Editing can help.

lf you like it so much, you do it.

Director, l have no time, tomorrow l`m busy.

lt`s so big! 36E.

- ls the hand-held hinge ready? - lt`s coming!

Lights...

Come, come over...

Light here, not on me.

Where`s Sunny?

l`ll look for him.

Chiu?

We don`t need to rehearse.

When you really the trolley, take off your clothes.

Then point the gun to the left of the camera.

Then say,

Hands up, quiet.

Get it?

Right side, left side...

Watch out the bullets.

Does he know what he`s doing?

l guess so.

Let`s try it again.

Ready Dicky?

Roll it, speed.

Action.

Don`t move.

Shut up...

Cut.

What the hell are you doing?

Something wrong with the cover up?

Cover up, what`s this?

Are we shooting ``Dumbo``?

Sorry...

lt`s not funny, let try something else.

Try and take it out.

lt`s easy.

Relax or else l can`t pull it out.

Not too hard please. Relax a bit more.

lt`s out...

ls it my turn yet?

- You fool me? - Who fooling you again?

That`s you.

Kui, come with me.

l won`t listen to you anymore.

Miss Mango... Wah touched my hand on purpose.

Be careful when you do a scene with this sex maniac.

Really?

He was a rich man

but lost everything to gambling and women.

Even now he`s playing an impotent sex maniac.

He`s well dressed, but don`t let that fool you.

Director, if you`re not shooting me,

l`ll leave.

l don`t have much time.

Alright. l`ll do.

But we have to adjust the lighting first.

How long do l have to wait?

A little while, Miss Mango. Your turn soon.

You look good.

Mango!

Sugar daddy.

- Director. - Boss.

- ls the shooting on schedule? - Yes.

l don`t want to wait a whole day for a short scene.

You said there`s no nude scenes.

But now they have,

l won`t do it.

Fine...Just do what you want.

l bought you some fruits, go have some.

Take a break and have some food.

Sing, please take her shots first.

l know...

but she refuses to do anything.

So what can l do?

OK, l understand.

l`ll talk to her.

l settle it. l`m going.

l`m leaving. After the shooting,

let`s have some Japanese food later.

Be a good girl!

Thank for your hard work.

Director, keep up the good work.

Listen, it`ll be better to have her in nude, more.

Let`s go...

l`m leaving now.

Start to work.

ls it my turn now? Make it quick.

You know, l have a date.

l`m busy either!

l have a date too.

Come!

Roll it.

Speed.

Action.

Help, don`t kill me.

Help, don`t rape me.

Help, don`t kill me, don`t rape me.

Cut.

Good!

Too much movement, everything`s blurred.

You can`t see Mango in the nude.

This is a blue movie

Do you know that?

l know.

lt`s good that you know.

lt doesn`t have to be artistic like Wong Ka-wai

but a commercial film like Wong Jing`s.

lf you let me change the cast, l`ll do it.

What...change cast?

No cast, there`s nothing l can do like them.

l just want to have my message in the film.

Message?

No one`s interested in your biography.

There`s no point in making an art movie.

Nonsensical movies are good too.

Wong`s film still holds the highest box office record in the past years.

Let`s see the midnight show tonight.

Then you`ll understand better.

What kind of a movie is this?

lt`s great, amazing creative.

Now you see.

How the audience enjoy it, swearing, laughing...

This is it.

Damn it!

l told you not to see this movie.

l thought there were car racing.

Which movie did you just see?

``Chinese Torture Chamber Story``.

Any comments?

l don`t know what it`s about.

But it`s pretty good.

l give it a 4 star.

Good story, see weather we can copy its concept directly.

How to copy?

Use your brain.

Wait here, l`ll check the box office.

Which movie did you just see?

``A Streetcar Named No Wheels``.

How would you grade it?

l`d give it a lousy 2 stars. Crap!

Don`t know what it`s all about.

Damn it, it`s lucky to get 1 star.

The director deserves to be shot.

lt`s so awful!

Director Yee is over there!

Director Yee, stay.

Any comments on your movies bad reviews?

l think everyone has the right to give opinion to choose.

Someone wants to hit you.

Any comments?

Do you feel you`ve failed as a Director?

Not in this way.

Thanks.

You know the box office collection of the sex film?

Almost $1 million for one midnight show.

But his film is bad.

Collected only $7,000 in 24 theatres.

and 3 of them have no one, empty.

Look, ``A Streetcar Named No Wheels``.

A car with no wheel how to drive?

lt`s a definite loss.

Who`d want to invest in such artistic bullshit?

Cut.

Not again?

Your acting is good,

but you missing one thing.

Someone`s left you,

this time you need to...

Are you Derek Yee?

Yes, l`m Derek Yee.

Come on...Come right now.

OK.

OK, ready?

Action.

Cut.

What do you think? ls it OK?

``The best Director Yee,``

``dives to death.``

``Bad reviews to the over budget film``

``A streetcar named no wheel``.

``His ``boyfriend`` finds a new half.``

``All knock him down badly.``

l can`t imagine he`d kill himself.

His movies were quite good.

That was in the past.

Last words; audience has the right to choose.

So the audience chose not to see his movie.

ls the really Derek Yee?

lt`s amazing...

What is it?

The box office shot up after his death.

Why?

lt collected $300,000 for the afternoon show.

Derek`s death made the movie work.

Soon it`ll break Jackie`s box office record.

So what`s good about it.

We`ve lost a talented director.

Why so sad? He`s not your father.

Let`s go support him to see his movie tonight.

l`ve complimentary tickets.

Really? You pay the dinner.

How could he miss it.

l have not the talent making movies.

l should just quit.

You don`t need talent.

You need hard working.

What else can you do? Be a football player?

Watch the game.

l`ve tried to and like to be.

What the hell is the referee doing?

lt can`t be a penalty.

lt`s you to blame, now we loose.

Don`t do it if you can`t.

l`d quit if l were you.

Right, actually we can win without you.

Go away, don`t waste our time.

You`re a lousy football player.

Are you joking? That`s no need.

Why not?

lt`s the best idea.

What`s missing from our film?

Publicity.

Talk of the town about...

A naked woman at the temple shooting.

Why don`t we shoot an X-rated scene on the street.

lt`ll be a hot news for sure.

Let`s just do it, it`ll work.

No kidding.

Take it like you`re helping me out.

Or just help the film.

Your past movies weren`t that special.

The boss may terminate the production any time.

Tell me.

What will you do if l kill myself?

A young director suicide because an asshole...

producer force him to shoot sex scene on street.

Asshole, that`s a good idea.

Set-up the camera,

and no fooling around, okay?

Then ask Wah to fondle Mango`s breast.

You got it? Now go head.

Director, you better come now.

Miss Mango is angry.

Call the director right now.

Where`s he?

Ask him to come.

OK, l`m coming.

Director, are you coming?

- What is matter? - She`s flaring up.

Miss Mango, what`s the problem?

Why did you change the location to the streets?

l won`t do it.

lt`s not my idea.

lt`s the boss and the producer`s.

So we changed it.

Don`t worry,

l`ll make you look beautiful in the film.

lt won`t look cheap.

l won`t let him touch me.

Okay, l`ll not let him touch you.

Just pretend, l`ll stop if he touches you, OK?

l`ll just do it on one take only.

OK, once...

Only once, l wish too.

Pretend?

How can it work?

No sweat, call her out.

Alright...

What the hell am l doing now?

- Director. - Wah,

the scene starts when you face her.

l know what to do.

Don`t worry.

Thanks, Wah.

Dicky, set the camera here.

lt`s better to use a hand-held camera.

Hand-held?

Well, we have to improvise in this situation.

Miss Mango.

- l`ll do this only once. - OK.

Wah, are you ready?

l`ll do my best.

OK! No rehearsal.

Please move back.

Camera, Dicky.

Action.

Action.

They really do it!

Beat it. Good shot.

Jesus, what are they shooting here?

Why are they shooting such thing here?

Don`t block her tits.

Damn, who`s blocking the camera?

l quit now.

You are bastard!

Why they shoot such immoral scene here?

Mrs. Tsui, let`s go, there`s nothing to see.

You idiot, you said we`re just pretend.

lt`s not now everyone has seen my body.

l quit now.

You think that l enjoy to shoot such thing here?

Why are you so fierce?

We`re from Eastweek Magazine.

We`re from TVB 60 minutes Plus.

Auntie, why don`t you watch TV?

Too much TV tires my eyes.

How about listening the radio?

No, you`re busy, don`t mind me.

You`re home.

Go and chat with your mom.

Come here...

Lucky l`m here.

l just saw you on TV News shooting that movie.

Don`t let May know.

l didn`t tell her.

l only ask her.

Still busy shooting the sex education program?

Not all women are as open minded as your mom.

She`s just a girl.

lf her friends you`re doing porn,

she`ll feel bad.

But when l was young,

your dad and l watch many good erotic films of H.C. Lee.

They were not bad,

even though may people criticised him.

What`s the time?

About 8 p.m.

8 p.m.? l`d better go.

lt`s hard to get a cab at this hour.

Mom.

You should spend more time with May.

l know.

You should go out and have fun too.

l`m too old to fool around.

What`s important is that...

You`re happy and healthy.

Have a good life.

Let me have it. Go back.

You must pay attention to the actresses` feet.

They always looked dirty in many old movies.

Remind them to keep it clean. Bye.

Where`s your mom?

She`s gone.

Why don`t we have dinner with her?

Go and visit her often.

She loves you,

and likes to be with you.

Why you women need care always?

What kind of report is that? They just make it up.

They`re always writing trash.

Did you really hit someone?

Not me, is it you?

Wrong, l only used one hand.

l saw Fatty did it. l saw him.

He wouldn`t be able to stand up if l did it.

Director, Mango is really quitting.

Yes, she`s really angry, what shall we do?

Where`s the producer?

l tell you...

l know it`s my fault. l should be blamed.

lt`s my fault for hiring him, please don`t be mad.

l`m stupid...

- lt`s good that you admit it. - Yes...

Kui, help Miss Mango to change.

She`s OK now, the script has been changed.

The original has Mango kissing Wah,

now it`s reversed.

lt`s a big difference!

You better have it rewritten.

The erotic elements should be important than the story.

Buddy, it`s hard to persuade her, please help me.

Do you feel hot?

Use some effort.

Miss Mango...

Wah, kiss her like you did just now.

You can only kiss my hand and leg, understand?

No problem.

- Can we start now? - Rolling, action.

More and more ecstasy! Mango, flirt with him.

Wah, kiss her more passionately.

Kiss her. Yes, kiss her. More ecstasy.

Miss Mango. Right...Need stronger reaction.

Wah, more...

Kiss, lower, go ahead...

Kiss, kiss her toes...

More forceful, kiss her toes!

Kiss it, suck it...

Right, go ahead.

Harder. Good.

No! lt`s ticklish.

Right! Suck it!

Wonderful!

Cut.

Wait. Chung, come here.

Come.

l think,

we have to set some base line here.

Did you see Wah`s reaction?

ls it Wah`s or your based line in question?

Wah has no base line. l pay him and he does whatever l say.

Yes, but let`s not overdo it.

Overdo? lt`s just kissing toes,

no big deal.

lt`s hard to convince Mango to do it.

What? You want to play me now?

lt`s my fault, please calm down.

Well, let`s skip this scene.

Again? We`ve always been passing scenes.

Well, l`ll do better in the next take.

Wah, stop protecting him.

So what if he pays you money? No big deal.

What money? This is professional etiquette.

Etiquette? Don`t talk about it with me.

Otherwise you wouldn`t as me to shoot on the streets.

What are you talking about?

You agree to it. What can l say?

l had to agree.

You told me otherwise the boss will stop it.

Yes, you don`t do a good job.

lf it weren`t for me, the boss has stopped production already.

Your bad directing is to blame.

Why`d you say that?

Yes, if you were a good director,

you past two films wouldn`t be flopped.

Don`t insult my movies.

You do not have a good reputation before too.

For all we know that.

No one would help you but me.

- What help? - To start this production.

So, do you want this production or not?

Fine, stop it. No problem.

l hate making pornography anyway.

Alright, you said it. OK, you quit. Alright.

l`ll do it...now.

Everyone ready. Stand by.

What are you waiting for?

Are you going to direct? Do it yourself.

- Wah, light off. - OK.

Fine...That`s it for today.

You often said you don`t want to do porn.

Do you know who`s really against it?

Thank you.

What? l didn`t do anything for you.

l`m just do what`s right.

l`m just doing what the Director wants.

lt doesn`t mean that you`re right or wrong.

We`ve saved your face, so what`s our next move?

Will they stop the production, Dicky?

Or just change the Director?

Chung had suspended the production for 2 days.

The Boss is very angry, so what to do?

l`ve not received my second payment.

l`m worse, l`ve not paid 3 months credit card bills.

Don`t worry, l`ll discuss with Boss tomorrow.

You should tell me before period come.

lf all like you, how can l make a living?

Asst. Director, get a replacement.

Any good ideas for me tonight?

Of course.

How about innocent schoolgirl,

erotic S & M.

Denmark home-town whore.

Homosexual. Which do you like?

l want a man with two girls, a threesome.

No problem.

Fondle her.

Cut.

Good.

Thanks...Yes. Come, next time, promise.

That was great. Call me if you have another good stuff.

Sure.

Why`d you take my money?

You`re a filmmaker, don`t have to be so cheap.

Boss Wong, l think about it carefully.

l think about it carefully. Why don`t you fire Chung?

Without him the film will do much better.

Boss, l know you`re a reasonable person.

Your money is hard earned money.

lf you give me a free hand on this film.

l surely will...

- Are you Sing? - Yes.

- What`s going on. - Get in.

Who are you? l don`t know you.

Boss.

l know you`re reasonable, so l think...

Yes, if you think the problem is the script,

why don`t you rewrite it?

Problem with the script?

Chung told me last night.

The story is illogical and you want to rest a few days.

That`s okay. lt make sense.

But can you tell me about the changes?

Want a drink?

Water please.

No water, only ice. Do you mind?

l`ll help myself.

Actually...

l have not...l`ve not thought

l`d rather tell you when it`s ready...

Chung tells me you`re very artistic.

Talented, l`m sure you think of something.

Don`t worry. Chung said you can.

l know you can.

Chung, l want to tell you. Sorry.

Come in.

- l`d like to tell you... - l`ve called tomorrow`s working notice.

Do it or not, it`s your choice.

l`m too old to talk art with you.

lf you can do it,

l`ll not interfere.

Just don`t go over budget.

l want to see you do a great movie.

And not a piece of shit.

lf you won`t do it,

let me know sooner.

lt`s you again! How`s it going? How`s the script?

What about you? How is your film?

lt`s on hold, something is not quite right.

Me too.

Do you know Director Derek Yee?

l met him before. Why?

l spoke to him the night he committed suicide.

Really?

He told me he started out as an actor at 17.

l was an actor at 17.

When l was 27, my teacher told me...

The ancient action film is dead.

lt`s better to go and find another job.

l was angry to hear that. He started me in this field.

10 years later, he asked me to quit.

Those 10 years were for nothing.

Nothing, don`t you agree?

Then one day, a director asked me.

He said an actor can do something else...

Try being a director.

l didn`t know what to do. l told him,

when l decide to be a director,

l`ll call him.

Three years later, l called him.

Because l made my first movie.

``A Story of Mad Director``.

So, never give up.

l confuse,

if you`re such a smart thinker.

Why choose to die?

l`m human, l have weaknesses,

sometimes you will do stupid things.

lf give me another chance,

l`ll not choose death.

Thank you.

Come here...

No...

Come...

Chung, what`s wrong with the flower?

No problem.

Sunny, did you find him?

No one answered the phone.

- So page him again. - OK.

Director.

Sorry l`m late.

The camera`s all set up.

No, l changed the lines.

Let me talk to Wah and Mango first.

Fine.

Dicky, set up the track here later.

How long?

l don`t know, l`ll tell you later.

- Good morning Director! - Good morning!

l`ve changed the lines.

l want to re-shoot scene 9.

What! A re-shoot?

Have a look at the script first.

Dicky, l`ll let Mango sleep here.

Action!

No...

Oh, don`t...

Cut.

- What`s the nest shot... - Wait...

Director, what`s wrong?

Mango, Although in this scene,

your faked orgasm will make Wah high.

l need you to make it more realistic.

How will the audience know it`s fake?

They will know.

You`ve to act it out well enough to cheat them.

Then they believe that,

it can be real enough to arouse Wah, get it?

l get lost. How to l do that?

l`m sure you`ve had sex experience.

That`s what l need you to do...

Think of the best orgasm you`ve ever had.

And act it out.

That`s what l want.

Convince me it`s real.

Do you get it?

Let me think about it.

OK.

Wah.

Yes, Director.

Tell me, have you experienced...

Not being able to make love. Haven`t you?

Once, l don`t know why...

Perhaps l was too nervous...

it was a long time ago.

How did you feel?

Very sad.

Very sad...do you feel shame?

No. Just scared.

Can you act out that feeling again?

That feeling, okay?

- l`ll try. - Just give it a try.

l`ll try my best.

OK. Let`s get ready.

Dicky, zoom in closer and track slowly on the next shot.

Got it!

Action.

Cut! Again.

Cut.

Again.

Cut.

What`s wrong?

Again.

Cut! Cut!

Director, what do you want?

- Towel... - No...

You sole is dirty.

OK, let`s try again.

Come closer, l don`t have thorn, do l?

Action!

Cut. OK.

Great job. Give them their robe.

Take a break first.

- Dicky. - Set up the camera over here.

Sunny, Look for few young extras,

- but not teen, get it? - Yes, l know.

l`ll keep an eye on him.

What?

Something`s different with you today.

Do l?

l have to make a call, my pager`s beeping.

- l`m buying, what do you want to drink? - Coke.

lt`s so noisy, what`s going on?

l`m doing aerobics. How about you?

You`re still angry at me.

l`m not.

Even if l am, you won`t care.

l`m the one who`s doing all the callings.

No, l want to call you too.

Really? Well, l do aerobics.

But l can`t keep up with them. l`m so sad.

When are you coming home?

Soon.

Right after work.

You`d better work now.

Alright, enjoy it! Bye.

Excuse me.

lsn`t that Director Wong? l like his movies.

How can you like his awful movies? l don`t think so.

What a coincidence.

Director Wong, you`re doing a movie with Stephen Chow.

lt`s a definite blockbuster.

Starring by Stephen Chow and Jet Li.

lt`s a breakthrough. lt`s musical this time.

But l`m waiting for the Boss`s approval.

Director Wong,

no one dares to say ``No`` to you.

That`s not true.

Forget it, it`s just bullshit.

My best cinematographer is truly a best cinematographer.

l heard you`re making pornography now.

lf so, you don`t need good techniques,

but don`t make it badly.

Or else the boss will fire you again.

But don`t worry, we`re buddies,

you can work for me.

l can set up another crew,

and let you be my third unit cinematographer.

Why did he talk to you like that?

Everyone knows he`s such an ass-hole.

Dicky, you`re worked with him before?

My first movie was directed by him.

He fired me.

He said my lighting is too dark.

People want to see the artists,

but not gloomy stuff.

After that no one want to hire me...

One more beer!

Don`t drink too much.

Everyone knows l`m the best cinematographer.

But a lousy drunken type.

OK, l`ll drink with you.

l`ll be the ``drunken`` Director tonight, OK?

So we`re the best ``drunken`` team, right?

Bring us the beer!

Cheers...

Be careful!

``Viva Erotica``

``3rd Revision. 23rd May, 1996.``

``lt`s brighter, feels warmer.``

A lot of Japanese directors started out making porns.

You okay?

l`m alright.

This film called...``Maniacal Family``.

Directed by the one who did ``Sumo Do Sumo Don`t``.

Really?

Yes, l like it.

Come on, l`ll show you some more and better.

lt`s here...look at this box.

See how great his hand-held style of shooting.

But you can`t use this method so often.

- lsn`t it great. - Yes, it`s excellent.

See more of it,

and you`ll tell what`s good and bad.

But remember, not to rush things.

lt`s enough to be one or two steps ahead of people.

And also, look at the editing.

How he cut in the scenes smoothly. So direct.

lt`s strange. l don`t know if l should tell you.

Well, don`t tell me then. Just have a drink.

l waited for him all night long last night.

l know he was busy. He didn`t come home.

l wanted to page him but l was afraid to bother him.

Just don`t want to be so troublesome.

He has work pressure,

so do l!

He cares only his work.

lt`s hard on me.

Leave him then.

My husband was a film director too.

He was also living in his fantasy world.

He didn`t know how to care for his family or himself.

Just like a kid.

Some of them will never grow up.

Then it`s bad, like Sing`s father.

Look at me, you will know...

Talk to him about it.

Unless he changes,

you`ll be unhappy.

He won`t like it if l tell him.

You`ve thought about it better.

l`m okay, l just need to talk to someone.

You settle it between yourselves.

No matter what happen, when you`re free, call me.

- Wah, Mango. - Director.

This scene is when the two of you just met.

You like her but she`s only interested in the money

You negotiate with her.

You have no sympathy for her,

and just grabbed her, grab her leg.

Grab her and then...

Then say your lines.

Director, please have a look to the camera.

OK. You two discuss the scene first.

OK.

Thank you.

Mango, was he rude to you the other day?

Don`t be a rumor monger.

You`re pitching him against me,

also to the others.

l know what you are thinking of.

You must be doing the same to me too.

l know, l was like that before.

l`ve sworn not to gossip anymore.

lf no gossip.

What else is there to do?

Why don`t you gossip about yourself?

Why is it?

lt`s erected and ready! Come...

Don`t you like me anymore?

You like someone else?

Crazy!

Why haven`t you touched me for so long?

You`ve not hugged me for a long time.

Are you tired from making the movie?

- Are you tired? - Yes, l am.

Why don`t you quit if it`s too hard on you?

The anti-vice officer told me that Mango is very sexy.

She has good figure and is prettier than me.

You like her! Will you leave me for her?

- Will you? You and she... - Crazy!

Why quit when everything is going smoothly?

What the hell is the matter with you?

You still don`t trust me! You`re crazy!

Shit!

Come on in.

Don`t disturb the neighbor, go to sleep now.

What`s this made of? lt`s too sticky.

- lt`s from egg white. - Sticky looks better.

lf too thin, it doesn`t look spermy.

lt makes him look weak this way.

lt matches his character.

Forget it, you`re supposed to be impotent in this film.

Just in this film, but not in my real life.

- l got it. - What`s this?

- Sperm. - Sperm?

Doesn`t look like it. lt`s too sticky.

- What`s it made of? - lt`s the real thing.

- Really? - Yes.

Sorry, because l drank less water lately...

lt`s ready.

Wah, let`s finish the shot we skipped.

Relax, just position correctly.

Mango, any problem?

- Open the door... - Cut, cut.

What`s this? Shooting pornography?

- Who`s in charge here? - Show me your lD.

Me.

Show me your lD.

- How to handle it? - l`ll take care of it.

lt`s okay, l know him.

He`s your boyfriend making the porno film.

How are you...

Mango!

Can we take a picture?

Sure...sure, no problem.

Jupiter, get the camera...

1,2,3.

Luckily you were there or we`d be in trouble.

Your colleagues are so nice and friendly.

- What are you doing? - l`m leaving.

Are you crazy, why?

Did you sleep with her?

No, l didn`t.

You know who l`m talking about?

You were afraid when l saw you holding her.

You immediately hugged me.

That you`ve never done it to me in public.

You were afraid to look at her...

when taking the picture.

1,2,3.

ls there something wrong?

l`m sure you fantasized about her.

Yes, l thought about it.

l`m a man, l can`t stop myself.

So does every man.

You`re not leaving because of it, are you?

No, l`m not.

Why then?

l can`t take it anymore. l`m so unhappy with you.

We`re more like room-mates than lovers.

- How`s it? ls it okay? - Good.

- Girlfriend problems again? - Don`t mention her.

- Sometimes a woman... - Alright, l understand.

Dad works here.

Studio C, understand?

Let me introduce you to the leading lady.

Miss Mango, my wife Gin.

How do you do...

Come here. He`s my son. Say Hello.

He`s shy.

lt`s candy for you...

- Say thank you. - Thank you.

Director.

Wah, you`re ready?

l`m taking my family around the studio.

- My wife Gin. - Hi, Director.

Hi, Gin.

Son, say hello to the director.

- Director. - He`s cute.

- l`ll take you over there. - Alright.

Director... Quarreled with your girlfriend?

This is the 10th time people asked me today.

Women are so troublesome.

You have to be gentle with her.

You`ll regret it if she leaves you.

You`re right.

She asked me to do this films in the beginning.

Now she`s arguing with me for same reason.

Same to me, when l told my wife l`ll be in a porn film.

She said, ``Okay, it`s just a job``.

But she`s really uncomfortable with it.

So l tell her whenever l have the love scene.

Let her know and stop her imagination.

- Papa! - l`m coming!

- Director, l`m going over awhile. - OK.

Help, quick, help me.

- OK. - No more...

Mango, dry your sweat.

All the rumors aren`t true.

What`s not true?

Wah`s a bad man and a sex-maniac.

He`s quite shy actually.

How nice to see such a loving family.

l want to have my baby before 30.

And a very loving husband.

He`ll give me the security.

l was from a very poor family in Taiwan.

My parents were constantly fighting.

l felt had no future, l was so poor...

l didn`t want to study anymore.

So l came to HK.

l want to be a star and earn lots of money.

Lots of money

and give my parents a better life.

Am l greedy?

No, everyone`s like that. l`m greedy too.

l like you but you have no money.

You`re breaking my heart.

Silly girl. Let`s get back to work.

- ls it okay, Dicky? - Ok, l`m ready.

Standby.

- Roll! - Speed.

Track.

Action!

Cut!

Thanks.

Let me see.

We`ve finished.

Great...

HK Film Award this year the Best Director goes to...

Sing!

lt`s on fire...

lt`s on fire! Help! Come and put out the fire!

What`s the matter?

Be careful! lt`s hot! Get out!

Be careful! Get out!

Be careful! Get out!

Be careful! Get out! lt`s going to collapse!

Get out!

Leave it! The fire is spreading quickly.

Where`s the negatives?

ls everybody out already?

Where`s Sunny?

Sunny.

The patient needs rest, not stay too long, OK?

OK.

- Sunny, how do you feel? - l`m fine.

How`s the film?

Everything`s okay. Don`t worry.

That`s good. My face...

Don`t touch it or it`ll be inflamed.

Will it be scarred?

Crazy! Of course not.

Hello, Boss? Yes...

l didn`t expect the set burnt down like this.

l know l`m to blame, it`s my fault.

l don`t know it`s happened that bad.

Don`t blame yourself.

lf it weren`t you, all the film would have been burnt.

You did well.

- Then may l ask you... - What?

Any complimentary tickets for me for your first show?

Of course, you`re part of the crew.

Really?

Then my name will be in the credit roll.

Yes.

lt`s my fault,

l didn`t safe the film properly.

No, it`s not. lt`s an accident.

l should take full responsibility for it.

Why are you arguing? Let`s shoot again.

The set has burnt, how to re-shoot?

l`ve made up my mind.

No, listen...

Don`t bother me!

l won`t invest another cent more.

l should have profited,

if the set weren`t destroyed. Now you`re still asking me to invest more?

Damn you! l`m a business man,

not an artist like you.

ln order to profit, the film must be released.

All we need just little more to complete it.

Sugar Daddy, please let us finish the film...

Shut up, woman. What a big mouth!

l`m not a fool,

this film is not releasable.

Just edit it,

whatever is left for the European underground market.

Also, settle Sunny`s case too. Make sure...

he doesn`t complain to the Labour Dept.

l won`t compensate him.

l`ll settle the last installment.

That`s great, we`ve all heard it.

For payment ask him, not me.

How can it be, you`re not paying?

What did you say?

Just because the triads can be unreasonable.

Unreasonable?

l am unreasonable, so what?

Damn you! The worst producer,

director and crew.

You`re lucky to have a job.

Without me,

you eat shit!

Let`s go.

Get out!

Damn your mother!

Boss Wong, you can insult me but...

not swearing to my mother.

Ok, you listen.

- Damn your... - Are you alright big brother...?

Beat him...

Don`t think you can damn with me.

l`ve warned him not to swearing to my mom.

But he did, what a son of a bitch!

What a shit kick!

How is it?

Do you think l`m internally injured?

Just drink tap water,

you`d be OK. Go and drink the tap water.

His face is so pale.

lt`s better to take to the hospital.

No big deal, why the hospital?

Just give him some Chinese Medicine.

Producer, what do we do?

Don`t worry, l`m here.

You can kill me but not insult me. He was swearing to my mom,

it`s him to start the fight.

But l hit him first, it`s my fault.

l can settle it nicely later.

But we must come together,

and be united to finish the film.

What film!

You broke the Boss`s nose. We`re in trouble.

He`s going to kill us.

Whether you can fix this situation or not.

Settle our last installment, if you want to re-shoot.

How can you talk about money to me now?

l helped you to earn lots of money.

Don`t be calculative! We work hard for the money.

We work day and night.

A tough job, man. You`re such a shithead!

Calm down, have some patience.

Yeah, it`s not much.

You`re good at being a sycophant.

You say l`m a sycophant!

What about sycophant? Can`t a sycophant be angry?

Yes, l`m just an angry sycophant!

Sycophant...

Everything crumbles when chips are down.

Everyone mistreats me when there`s a problem.

Please say something.

Have l told you l wanted to be a football player before?

Because l admire them.

Just think, they have to play with or...

without spectators.

They get jeered when they lose.

Buddy, that`s the ball game.

You can`t score a goal every time,

you either win or lose.

When you don`t perform,

the coach will call you out.

You may never get a chance to play anymore.

My life before is a joke.

l never finish what l`ve started.

l quit halfway on my football career.

Halfway through my film.

Halfway through on my lovelife.

When the fire broke out,

l dreamt of winning the film award.

When l watched this football match,

l realize suddenly...

Making movies is similar to football game, they need a teamwork.

l`m glad to have know you, you`ve helped me a lot.

l`m happy to make this film with you all.

Thank you.

Bravo...

Go to work.

We`re ready now.

Let`s do it then.

Roll.

Action!

Was that good?

Not bad, right? Thank you.

Do you remember Chung?

He`s a director now.

Roll, action.

lt was his life-long dream.

Dicky, the cinematographer is now an actor.

He was lucky, he did the Best Actor Award.

But don`t get me wrong.

lt`s nominated by the porn industry.

Wah and his family emigrated.

Not Canada, but Dongguan, China.

Well, Mango. l met her one day.

She`s not an actress now.

Director...l`m not in the film anymore.

l think it clearly, since l was nude to the audience.

Why just nude exclusively to him,

my buddy, yes, l`ve married.

He`s a vet.

See all my ``babies``.

They`re all like you, like playing football.

What about my girlfriend and me?

We`re fine, of course.

We`re together.

Forget it. l don`t want to end up hating you.

l`ll hate you.

Hate me then, don`t treat me like before.

Why?

You just pour all your emotions in your movie.

What about me? Have you ever cared?

l do care about you now.

lf so,

l won`t make anymore movies.

Crazy, you`re nothing if you won`t make movies.

Why quit the movies?

l love you because you`re a filmmaker.

l know what`s your last question to ask.

My feeling after making the porno film?

l found out what embarrassed the actors most,

Which is to be nude in front of people.

So, if l was the Director, l`ll make sure that...

all the crew and myself take off our clothes,

to be ease with the actor.

May be they`ll be more comfortable.

and act better in the movie.

Let`s try it.

Come...

Director, everything`s ready, let`s rehearse.
