[Ms. Chubby] Who does she think she is? Damn her.

She's famous for five minutes, now she thinks she's a star?

We made a verbal contract because I didn't wanna pressure her.

[Mao-mao] But she didn't have to leave you for your nemesis.

Really? Why don't you just tell me where she's going? [laughs]

[Mao-mao] Pei-ni. We were so nice to her.

How could someone be so mean?

[Ms. Chubby] Let her go. Spare me.

She'll go straight to the bottom of the pile.

Pei-ni's actress is a young girl with much bigger tits.

She'll come crawling back.

She can't go without telling me first.

Uh. Hey, last year I paid for her medical.

Mao-mao, find the receipt. Find it, find it!

What's wrong with this air-con?

-Ah! Watch out! -I can't.

-[tires screeching] -[shrieking]

[Mao-mao] What just happened?

Mister! What are you doing? Mister!

Get off the road!

-[Mao-mao] What's going on? -Go on.

-[Mao-mao] What happened? -You all right?

-I'm okay. -[Mao-mao] Miss Pang Chieh?

Stop that crying. Just be quiet.

I'm gonna be late.

[car engine sputters, stops]

[car engine sputters, stops]

Get my bag.

I could faint right now.

If you take small bites, you don't eat so much.

What about the audition?

-Do you know your lines? -I know them by heart.

-And you're feeling good? -Yeah.

Run!

-Sorry. I got lost on the way. -You're here for the audition?

-Yeah. -[receptionist] What's your name?

-Shih Ai-ma, S-H-I-H, A-I, M-A. -[receptionist] Okay.

-Where you from? -Meizhenfeng.

[receptionist] Fill out your information.

Hey, do you know how many people they're auditioning?

[receptionist] Don't ask me. Ask them.

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[man] Numbers 15 to 20, you're up.

-[camera shutter clicking] -[Mr. Hao] Perfect, Ni-ni. Great.

That's right. Okay, one more. Great.

Now let's do a sexy one. That's your specialty, isn't it?

Sure.

Yeah, that's perfect. Awesome.

Okay. Let's go to the next set.

All right. Thank you.

-Thank you. -[Hsin-ni] Thank you.

Watch your step.

-Have a look. This one's great. -Yeah.

-That look in her eye… -Mm-hmm.

Looks great.

She's actually very silly in private. Very silly.

-Don't let Ni-ni hear you say that. -[chuckles]

Ma'am, Ni-ni wants to see you.

All right.

I'll let you know when we're ready.

-[reporter] Sure. We can do that. -Okay.

[Ya-chih] What's wrong?

Oh! You look great.

Seriously?

Well, you'll be covered with a bedsheet.

They want you to look like you just woke up.

[Hsin-ni] I'm not going out there.

Every time they make me roll around in the bed moaning.

[imitates moaning]

I'm so sick of it.

Stop overthinking this.

Mr. Hao isn't doing that kind of shoot.

This is a high-end, sophisticated shoot.

And how are people going to know that it's high-end?

Are you really gonna do this to me?

-Should I get you a nun's habit to wear? -Sure.

[sighs]

Tell me, does this have anything to do with Chang Po-lei?

What do you mean? That's ancient history.

It better be.

That man is useless. He couldn't take care of you.

Thank God you didn't marry him.

Why do we need to be taken care of?

[somber music playing]

[cell phone vibrating]

THREE STONES

Ms. Hsueh, don't make me do it.

All right.

I'll go talk to them. Give me ten minutes.

Love you.

[cell phone chimes]

HSUEH YA-CHIH: FEN, I ORDERED PEPPER SHRIMP FOR FRIDAY

LI HSIN-NI: I WANT COLD BEER

HSUEH YA-CHIH: GUARDS, TAKE HER AWAY

[staff] Ms. Li-fen, prep time.

Huh! Huh? I'm coming! Let's get to work.

Wake up.

All right. I'm ready. Let's go, let's go.

[stylist] Hey, Ms. Ko, you forgot your shoes.

[Li-fen] Oh, need those.

Got shoes. How's my makeup?

-Yes. -It's okay? All right.

Let's go. Here, I'm coming!

I'm coming, coming. Hey!

-[actor] Seriously? Someone goes there? -[Li-fen] I'm here, everyone.

-[actor] Listen. What I mentioned earlier… -[Li-fen] Sorry. Sorry.

-[actor] Just say my name. -[female director] Let's set up the scene.

-1340. -[Li-fen sighs] Oh.

[female director] Quiet on set.

We good to go? And action!

[suspenseful music playing]

Ha, once I take control of the company,

the Fang family will be torn apart.

[chuckles]

-Chi Hsiao-lan. -[door closes loudly]

Hmm?

You sure about this, hmm? [chuckles]

What makes you think this family is yours to lead?

[dramatic music sting]

Fang Chih-ming. Ha!

Do you really think I don't know what you did?

Slap!

[groans]

-[female director] Cut! -You wonder-- Huh? What is?

[female director] That sound.

-Oh, what do you mean sound? Did you-- -No, you don't need to make a sound

when you slap me.

-What happened? -[actor] Before, you said, "Slap."

I said, "slap"? Oh!

-Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. -It's okay. It's okay.

-Sorry about that. -Now, if you slap me for real,

-you won't have to make a sound. -Do you really mean it?

-If we do it in one take, it'll be okay. -[Li-fen] Let's go again.

[female director] Let's get one more.

-[Li-fen] This time for sure. Sorry. -Okay. It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

-I'm sorry. [laughs] -Okay. One take, okay?

-[female director] Ready? -[door opens]

[female director] Action!

-[suspenseful music playing] -Once I take control of the company,

the Fang family will be torn apart.

[laughs]

-Chi Hsiao-lan. -Hmm?

-You sure about that? -[chuckles]

Listen…

what makes you think this family is yours to lead?

Hmm. Do you really think I don't know what you did?

-[dramatic music sting] -Slap!

Oh, I did it again.

-[female director] It's okay. -[Li-fen] Oh, I'm sorry.

[female director] Let's just go from when you're sitting

-and we'll do it again. -No, it's fine.

-I really felt that. -Just before you stand.

-Really? -Yeah, yeah. Very powerful.

-Are you sure? Oh, sorry. -It's fine.

It's okay. Let's just take our…

-Okay. -…positions for another take.

And action!

[suspenseful music playing]

Fang Chih-ming. [scoffs] Say that again.

I'm not scared to say it a thousand times.

What makes you think that you can lead?

[grunts]

Ha! You underestimate me.

[female director] And cut!

[male director] Ms. Ko,

despite your lack of sleep, your reactions are quite quick.

Good work.

Thanks, everyone.

Oh, are you all right?

-Oh, your face is all red. -It's fine.

-It left a mark. -I'm okay, I'm okay.

You did say to slap you though.

All right. Great job today.

Min-fu!

Wang Min-fu!

First aid!

-[Li-fen] Huh? -Ms. Ko, I was kidding.

Oh. Okay.

-Doctor! -What happened to your face?

[actor] What, this face? Why don't you go fuck yourself!

[tense music playing]

Hmm, she doesn't have the charisma.

And has she ever had a hit?

[Wei] Well, the agency recommended them.

This one has bad diction. This one slept with the director.

-Which director? -The director of her latest film.

This one, how old is this photo?

Nowadays, she wouldn't fit in this picture.

-How about Tzu-tzu? I really like her. -Hmm. Oh, yeah.

-You know what I mean? -Oh, I like her. She was at my last job.

-She's good. Very professional. -She's good.

Do you think she's a serious option?

Yeah, but she makes the male actors look poor

-because she's too tall. -[Ya-chih] Huh.

-All right. Next. -Mm. Okay.

TSENG CHING-TZU LI HSIN-NI

[Big Head] Hey, Ni-ni's beauty is timeless

and she keeps going from strength to strength.

Hmm, Li Hsin-ni.

Hey, she was in Love Flavor and Sex Slave.

-[Big Head] How is that relevant? -[staff] That movie was hot.

[Tzu-chi] We're not going with Li Hsin-ni.

Because her manager is very difficult.

If her manager is difficult, how did you get her?

[laughs]

Hey, Mr. Li, we've discussed so many actresses.

-Shouldn't we just, uh-- -[Wei] If no Taiwanese actresses

have this wanderlust you're looking for, maybe we should consider--

Wanderlust?

Did I really use the word "wanderlust"?

Well, you talked about this sense of being free--

If you don't think any Taiwanese actresses are right,

maybe we should look in Hong Kong or China.

Or Japan or Korea.

It'll be hard to find a Taiwanese actress.

-They all have such limited range-- -Hey, hey.

It's your perception of Taiwanese actresses that's limited.

-It isn't our fault directors have one-- -I know! Love Slave in Jail!

Ah! That was her X-rated title.

This is important. "Limited range"?

You keep putting actresses in roles they've played before

and then you turn around and say,

"You know, she can't give us anything else."

"Taiwanese actresses. Ugh. They're so limited."

See, I told you. Her manager is difficult.

-I know! Ugh… -[sighs] Not this again.

No, no, I've got it. I'm serious.

She's super suitable.

-Nobody thought of her. -Who?

Chou Fan.

[Big Head] Didn't Chou Fan retire a long time ago?

Been a while.

Whoever said that? Her movies are all classics.

[Ya-chih] I'm in a meeting. I'm in the middle of a meeting.

It can wait until later.

-Where were we? -Chou Fan.

[Big Head] Ugh, I think Chou Fan is a fossil.

Yeah, I can't even remember how she looks.

Her face is a blur to me.

[Big Head] Her last role was three years ago at least.

-[Wei] Yeah. It's been three years. -[female staff] Almost.

-So what? She's still very beautiful. -[slams table]

She is. I follow Chou Fan.

-Look, see? Eh, eh? -Oh. You want a has-been actor?

You get Ms. Hsueh.

Are you saying that I'm… also a has-been?

You know what I mean. You're Mr. Li's favorite actress.

-[staff] Two years ago, Chou Fan was-- -Let's go grab lunch.

-Uh, but no-- -You're so skinny.

-[staff] I'm not hungry! -[Big Head] You're a weirdo.

[Wei] Mr. Li, Ms. Ya-chih, should we take a break?

[Tzu-chi grunts]

What do you think?

About what?

You mean, you or Chou?

Will you be going home tonight?

I know what you're gonna say. I'm still finishing the final draft.

Or maybe your wife just misses her husband.

-[footsteps approaching rapidly] -[door opens]

[Ya-chih sighs] What do you want?

I know. I know.

Mr. Li has a meeting later on. Don't let him have any more coffee, okay?

-Give him an aspirin. -[Amy] Yeah. Got it.

Why are you still here? You gonna inject it?

-Uh, no. -Then get back to work.

[Amy] Okay.

WILLING TO HAPPILY CELEBRATE WITH HER BEST FRIEND HSUEH YA-CHIH

CHOU FAN WAS NOMINATED IN THIS YEAR’S GOLDEN BELL AWARD

FOR BEST ACTRESS FOR "THE TOWER OF SILENCE"

HER BEST FRIEND HSUEH YA-CHIH WON THE BEST ACTRESS AWARD

FOR "HIS THREE WOMEN"

[playful music playing]

Um, miss, this is the freight elevator.

I'm transporting freight.

And I need to be discreet.

-Uh, miss. -I'm not Chou Fan.

What floor do you want?

Seventeen.

Stop looking at me. I'm not Chou Fan.

[bottles clatter]

-Do you want a hand? -No!

I told you I'm not Chou Fan.

Who's Chou Fan?

-Was that your stomach I heard before? -Yeah.

It's so loud. Haven't you eaten?

I got some takeout. We could share.

That's way too many calories.

Why are you starving yourself? It's not good for you.

-I'm used to it. -Hey, thanks for covering my shift.

The manager is on to you. You've bailed too many times.

Try not to do it again.

It won't happen again.

[scooter engine rumbling]

The two of you have been dating for a while.

It'll be three years this November.

You're lucky. He really likes you. He picks you up every day.

I've told him not to, but he insists.

It's like you're trying to make me jealous.

-Oh, stop. [chuckles] -I'm not joking.

-Bye. -Bye.

-Hey. Big day? -Mm.

[Chen] How was the audition?

You'll never guess where I am.

It sounds crazy but I finally quit my job.

And it's all thanks to you.

[cell phones chiming]

[Ai-ma] You're gonna be a dad?

Congratulations. Hey, no, that's great news.

I just… It's so silly. But I just…

Yeah, yeah.

Start.

-Do you mind if I start again? -[casting director] What? Where from?

From the start.

There's still a lot of people outside.

Why not just go from the last line, okay?

Uh, all right.

This is a truly happy occasion.

-You ate fried chicken. -Says who?

Don't lie. You ate KFC.

Oh, let's go home. You can have some noodles there.

You know that I can't eat those. I'm being weighed tomorrow.

Hey, it's one meal.

Let's go home. Watch a movie.

Really? We have to watch your idol some more?

Chou Fan's not my idol,

-she's my goddess and-- -You wanna act because of her.

That's right. Let's go.

[dance music playing]

[manager] I can't believe you missed your audition.

The director waited over an hour and you didn't show up.

And why should I audition? Huh?

[manager laughs] Oh, wow!

Unbelievable!

So you think you're too good to audition?

Listen, you need to sober up. You haven't acted in three years.

You still think you're a fucking goddess?

No one wants to work with you.

Look, I'm tired.

I'm trying my best but my company is not a fucking charity.

[dance music continues]

[somber music playing]

STARRING: CHOU FAN

[gasps]

It's over?

You fell asleep?

What keeps you watching it?

She was incredible.

How did she not win best actress?

She didn't win?

Don't you know?

She was nominated for every role, but didn't win for any of them.

If I ever to get to work with her, my life will be complete.

You really should try an oyster omelet.

Oh, Chen Wei-jen.

-[door lock beeps] -[Chou Fan] Mm!

Come on in. [laughs]

-What should we do now? -You tell me.

-What did you say? -I said, "You tell me."

[both laugh]

-Oh, close the door at least. -[man] Is that better? [laughs]

-["I Walked Into a Bar" playing] -[Chou Fan gasps]

It's just over 49.

It's 50.1, it's terrible.

[Ms. Chubby] How did this happen?

It's half a kilo more than last week. You don't work hard.

[Ms. Chubby] Shameful.

-I worked my ass off. -[Ms. Chubby] I don't wanna hear it.

-You ate too much. -More exercising!

-I work out. -[Ms. Chubby] I don't believe it!

I have to go now. Bye. Bye, bye, bye.

MIMI

So?

Has she lost weight since last week?

-She's a little lighter. -[Ms. Chubby] That's all?

What did I tell you? If you're not pretty enough, be what?

-Skinny. -Right.

You got to be skinny.

But curves are back in.

That's in the West, but Taiwan is Taiwan.

Taiwanese actresses are attractive and skinny.

What should we do with this?

See if you can find the docket, return it. She didn't get the role.

-We don't frown here. -I don't know what you mean.

Oh, please. It's not my fault you failed the audition.

Next week, I got you a job.

It's four days.

-Is it for that short film? -Bigger.

-It's a series. -A series?

[Ms. Chubby] And you get to act with a movie star.

Who's in it?

-Pan Yin-yin. -Pan Yin-yin?

What are you a parrot? You want this or not?

-Oh, Ms. Pang Chieh, thank you. -Go away.

I'm sweaty.

[Ai-ma exclaims]

-[gasps] -What did I tell you?

You stick with me, girl, you'll be a star sooner or later.

So who is my character?

-Where's the corpse? -Here.

Lie down, put your head this way.

You need to put your arm out.

Would you look so relaxed if you just got killed?

Yeah, that'll do.

-[Director Liu] Hey, Xia-long. -[Xia-long] Okay.

The floor isn't quite right. Soak it.

[Xia-long] Okay. No problem. Get some water!

Let's get it wetter. Just on the side.

Here. Yeah. Near the corpse.

Uh, don't move.

-[Director Liu] Xia-long, more! -Wetter. Come on.

[Director Liu] Water is meant to be wet!

[Xia-long] Wetter. Wetter! How's it looking?

Okay. Okay.

[Xia-long] Okay. That's enough.

We need to test the rain. Cue the rain.

Wind.

Don't move. I said don't move.

-How is that looking? -[Director Liu] Okay.

[Xia-long] No. Stop moving.

Let's get the actors on set.

[Director Liu] Where are the actors? Are they still sleeping?

[Xia-long] I'll check. Give me a minute!

Is she here?

Ms. Yin-yin, the director needs you. Are you ready yet?

Do you need longer? We're all waiting.

Are you done?

What's the big hurry? Tell him to go and have a smoke.

He's smoked plenty.

I'm waiting for Gecko.

[sputters]

Where is he?

-[upbeat music playing] -I won't be long. I'm almost there.

We're less than two minutes away. Yes. Yes. Yes, I know.

Just tell the director to take a chill pill.

Wait, wait. Hey, hey.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

Is your signal bad? Hey.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

Hello. Wait. My cell phone battery's dying.

Beep, beep, beep, beep. Oh!

[laughs]

Wow. You're so good at that.

Tell me, did you do that to me?

[chuckles] No.

I'd never do something like that to you.

-Hmm. -Hmm. Hmm. What is with Pan Yin-yin, eh?

-[sighs] How would I know? -She really has a princess complex.

True enough. She's all of that.

Here. Water.

-Ah. -[Gecko] There. Drink some.

Remember what the doctor said. You gotta get these fluids into you.

-Mm. -[Gecko] I added some lemon slices.

-It's very sour. -[Gecko] Yeah.

So I'm booked into the hospital next week. You'll go with me, right?

Sure. Of course. It's there in my schedule. Hmm.

Uh, I can drive if you want.

What? There's nothing wrong with my eyes.

Don't worry. There's no need to be nervous.

I'm not. But can you just drive faster?

Thank you so much. Thank you for your hard work.

Thank you. [chuckles]

I thank you all.

Drinks are on Ms. Yin-yin. Woo!

-Here they are. -Hey, yeah, yeah. Hello. Hello.

Hey, it's been a long time.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Hello, all. Hey, beverages for all.

[woman] It's so good. I hope we have this daily--

It's so loud! Where's the actress?

Director Liu. This should do the trick.

Compliments of Ms. Yin-yin.

Five minutes and I'll have her on set.

You're paying overtime.

Not a problem. Hey, just give me five.

You rest up.

Hi. Drink up. Enjoy.

Oh, my God. [mumbling]

[woman] Let's all have some beverages.

Gecko. Gecko.

-I don't think he heard you. -He'd win awards for playing deaf.

They've got drinks.

-Can I get one? -Of course. You're working here.

I guess.

You're an actress on this project.

It's all right. I'm not thirsty.

I want one.

Hey. Get one for zombie guy.

-[Chen] Sure. -Thanks.

You're welcome.

Ms. Yin-yin.

Ms. Yin-yin.

[Yin-yin] Gecko.

Oh.

-What's wrong? -Gecko.

Whatever can be the matter? Why are you crying?

It's okay now. I'm here. I'm here.

They noticed. I just don't know what to do.

-They noticed. -Noticed what?

Oh, your nose? Oh. It's beautiful. I can't tell.

They're staring at me.

Who are they?

The makeup artist and the wardrobe assistant.

Do you know why they were staring?

Because you're beautiful.

You have what they don't.

Don't be bothered by this. You're the best.

As if.

Have I ever lied to you?

I swear, I can't tell at all.

-Really? -It's true.

Come on.

Why were you late?

I took Ms. Yen-fang to her checkup.

She takes up a lot of your time.

I know you worry about her, but you can't ignore me for her.

How can you say that when I so value the both of you?

But who is the more valuable?

You already know the answer to that.

It's you I love.

She has a princess complex.

Here, let me see. Come on.

Perfect.

I know.

Don't come near me.

[sobs] Don't come near me.

-Get away from me. -[screams]

-[Yin-yin] Is there a problem? -Cut, cut, cut.

[Xia-long] Cut. Stop the rain.

Hey, hey. Why do you keep moving?

Mosquitoes. Oh, they're so awful.

Did I step on you?

It was nothing.

[Yin-yin] Did I?

No.

[Xia-long] You're a corpse. You can't move.

Hold your breath. Stop breathing.

Sorry. One more time. Let's go again.

-[Director Liu] Okay. Hurry. -[Xia-long] Okay. Start the rain.

Okay. Positions. And action!

-[dramatic music playing] -[Yin-yin] Don't come near me.

Don't come near me.

Don't come near me!

Don't!

-Cut. -Cut. Let's go again.

Don't come near me.

Don't come near me. Get away from me!

[groans]

[growling]

[Director Liu] Cut.

[Xia-long] We're going again.

Cut!

Cut.

Cut.

[Xia-long] And again. First positions.

Hurry. One more.

Positions.

Everyone ready?

500 YEARS OF ZOMBIE

[Yin-yin] Don't come near me. Get away!

[groans]

Ms. Corpse, don't you wanna act?

Because I can get someone to replace you.

How many more times do I have to do this because of you?

[Xia-long] I'm so sorry, Ms. Yin-yin.

I'm terribly sorry.

[Yin-yin] What the heck?

[Xia-long] I am so sorry.

Here, have some water.

You're beyond help.

Pull yourself together.

I'm sorry, Ms. Yin-yin. Just one more time.

-[melancholic music playing] -[Xia Long] Okay. This is the one.

First positions.

Rain.

[hose turns on]

[Xia Long] Rolling.

Okay.

And action!

[clapperboard clicks]

[Yin-yin] Don't come near me. Don't come near me.

Get away from me!

[grunts] Stay away from me!

Don't come any closer! Get away!

[Ms. Chubby] Liu had to cry eight times because of all of the retakes.

You were playing a corpse.

Well done.

[door slams loudly]

I got stepped on eight times.

So what?

Are you gonna cry?

Listen up.

When you're an A-lister, that's when you can cry.

[melancholic music continues]

[sobs]

[doorbell chimes]

[Chou Fan] Yeah?

I figured it out.

Did you really think you could hide forever?

You can run.

You can try to hide. But you'll never be free.

I'd recognize you anywhere.

What was that?

[man] Uh, an impromptu performance!

Uh, what do you think of my acting?

My character is a flirty detective.

-What do you think, Chou Fan? -You have the wrong person.

Uh, wait, wait, wait! I get it. I get it. I understand.

You're preparing for a role, right? I know. I do the same thing.

I play the lead in Falling For Your Mama. Have you seen it?

It's fine if you haven't. We're actually working on a sequel.

I play the mama, so I need to grow my hair out.

I'm a method actor. And I've decided that-- Be quiet!

I wanna be an actor for real.

Otherwise, my life will be meaningless.

I got some headshots done. People say I'm very photogenic.

I just need a break.

I studied martial arts in school and interpretive dance.

Uh, how about I show you what I can do?

Can you hold this for me?

It's all right. It's all right.

It's not real.

I'll just put it here.

Traditional style.

-[grunting] -[upbeat music playing]

[man] Western style.

-[music stops] -Uh, it's hard to do it on carpet.

[upbeat music resumes]

Ha!

Hey! Uh…

Ah!

[traffic rumbling]

Hey.

Where is the director you said was interested in me shooting tomorrow?

[humming]

Tina, your coffee.

Where is it from?

A big celebrity is here. They brought coffee.

-There's cake as well. -Who is it?

[Hsiao-lung] Chou Fan.

[Tina] Hey, don't move.

He said Chou Fan.

-Is Chou Fan here? -Sit still.

I don't understand. It doesn't fit the character.

These revisions don't make sense.

What scene are you looking at?

-Scene 38. -Scene 38.

-It says I have to cry… -Oh, here, here, here.

-…but before that-- -Come here. Hang on. Let me see.

[Hsin-ni] See? Here, I'm ecstatic.

-[Director Liu] Okay. Take a seat. -But then…

-in the next scene, I have to cry. -Hmm. Mm-hmm.

I don't really get the transition.

Why, though? You can do it.

Hmm, the problem is you think too much, okay?

Uh, okay.

[Director Liu] Trust me, huh?

I can help you craft an amazing performance.

Does the director need to touch an actor's thigh to discuss a scene?

[soft music playing]

Chou Fan.

Ms. Chou Fan, it's good to see you.

Why do you still smoke?

It's bad for your health.

What's good for your health?

Letting a director take advantage?

I was about to say something.

How can you still not know how to deal with these assholes?

If I dealt with things like you do, I'd be fired.

-Oh, God. -You're right.

I actually came here to get on the director's good side.

Whoops. Guess I blew it.

Here I was thinking you came to see me.

How many years have you been avoiding me?

I came to see you? Why would I do that?

I was never avoiding anyone.

That doesn't matter.

I was the one in the wrong.

And she wanted you to choose a side.

It wasn't easy being stuck in the middle.

I still don't understand why you can't just sit down together

and talk it out.

She doesn't wanna talk to me.

But you haven't even tried.

Ya-chih is a very forgiving person.

Hey!

You both said things that you regret, but she felt--

I'm heading off.

Deal with that director.

Hey, Chou Fan.

Mm.

[Chou Fan] Tell your manager about it.

How did this happen?

Well, how many scenes does she have left?

[attendant] I also need you to sign here, Mr. Li.

-Sure. -[Ya-chih] Three more scenes?

Thank you.

[sighs]

-You all right? -No.

-Let's go in. -Something happened to Ni-ni on set.

[Tzu-chi] Hey, hey, we'll sort it out. Don't worry about that now.

[Ya-chih] I'm not worried. But I am freezing.

If we have a boy, what if he's a creep that touches women's thighs?

And if we have a girl, then we'll have to worry about her

for the rest of our lives!

And we're facing climate change, overpopulation, global politics.

We just had a pandemic. Then there is racial discrimination…

-Hey, Chih, look at me. -…online bullying.

Chih. Chih. Look at me. Look at me.

Where are your shoes?

-Everything is fine. -I'll stop. I'll stop.

-[water running] -[Ai-ma] She was only there five minutes.

And by the time I came out, she had already left.

-I was so close. So close. -[water stops running]

When you're the lead actor, it won't even matter.

You'll be equals.

Come on.

Bedtime.

[male host] All right. Welcome.

Welcome, everyone.

Actresses, hello. One more time, hello.

[female host] Nominees, can you please come to center stage?

We're gonna take a group photo now.

[soft music playing]

Ai-ma, come join us!

[emotional music playing]

["Beyond The Sea" playing]

-[Yen-fang] Hi. Congratulations. -[Yin-yin] Congratulations.

[Ya-chih] Join us.

[vocalist singing in Mandarin]

[in English] Oh, I'm so excited. [laughs]

[inaudible]

[Chou Fan] I think you're in my seat.

[song continues playing]

Shih Ai-ma, you got this!

You're gonna make it!

[song continues playing]

[inaudible]

[song fades]

[retches]

[Ya-chih] He thinks he's this great director.

Hey, Director Liu is even worse.

-[Ya-chih] Huh? -He's a complete hack.

[Ya-chih] Oh.

-Mm. -"Hey, there."

-Yeah? -"Ni-ni, hey."

-Oh. -"Uh, your problem is you, um, you--

-yeah, you think too much, you know?" -Oh.

-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. -"Do you know that?"

-That's right. -"Yeah. And don't worry so much."

-[laughs] -"Uh, just leave everything to me."

[gags] He makes me wanna throw up.

A director like that needs to be put in their place.

I didn't know he was like that. We'll never take his projects again.

-What if it's a good offer? -[gags]

If the money's good enough.

-[both laugh] -Listen, I know what he's like.

I've worked with him. You wrap the shoot

-and he'd be crying uncontrollably. -Holy shit. That's true.

-He's always crying. -He's always surrounded by his assistants.

-Right? They're all women. -And all his assistants are female, right?

-I've seen it before. -And he gets them to massage him.

-Oh, Director. -[Ya-chih] Who does he think he is?

-It's unbelievable. -You've been thinking such big thoughts,

-haven't you? -You're so tight.

-And they treat him like-- -You've been working really hard.

-Hey, Ni-ni, Ni-ni, Ni-ni! -Let me massage you.

-Can you do my back next? -Oh. Now, I wanna fuck you.

-I'm really sore. -What did you say?

-I can't get it out. -Oh, don't worry. You're okay.

-There it is. -Oh, it's just-- It's very, very small.

-[Hsin-ni] Huh? Oh. -Coochi-coochi-coo!

-[laughter] -Get rid of it. It's gross.

-Kill it. -Stop!

-[Ya-chih] Oh, it's disgusting. -Get rid of it!

Oh.

Haven't you heard?

-[Hsin-ni] Heard what? -[Tzu-chi] We lost Director Liu.

[all laughing]

How do you lose him?

-How did he get lost? -[Hsin-ni] Did you hear him talking?

-["Hey Girl" playing] -[vocalist singing in Mandarin]

[song concludes]
