Les tribulations d'un Chinois en Chine / Chinese Adventures in China / Up to His Ears (1965)
Adventure | Comedy
Arthur Lempereur (Jean-Paul Belmondo of Breathless) is a globe-hopping millionaire, engaged to Alice (Valérie Lagrange), a beautiful young woman. As the film opens, Arthur has cut the break line on his fine automobile and proceeds to drive it off a cliff. This, we learn, is his ninth suicide attempt in the past week. Arthur is bored with his easy life. Even learning from his accountant, Biscotton (Darry Cowl), that he's ruined doesn't perk him up. On a cruise to Hong Kong, his friend Mr. Goh (Valéry Inkijinoff) comes up with a solution to Arthur's woes: "Adversity carries the chance for happiness," he explains to the despondent young man. Goh convinces Arthur to take out a two-million-dollar life insurance policy, with Goh and Alice as the beneficiaries. The policy will expire in one month. Goh then tells Arthur that his life is in danger. He may be killed at any moment. Arthur soon realizes that he's being followed. He's not so eager to be murdered. Arthur and his valet, Leon (Jean Rochefort of The Hairdresser's Husband), frantically search for Goh to ask him to call off the hit. At one point, Arthur ducks into a nightclub to dodge his pursuers, and instantly falls for Alexandrine (Ursula Andress), the stripper on-stage. Alexandrine is fascinated by the ways men try to manipulate women and assumes that Arthur's story about hired killers is a bizarre ruse. All the more determined to survive the month, the bumbling Arthur engages in a fierce battle for his life. Up to His Ears is both a loose adaptation of a Jules Verne story (Les Tribulations d'un Chinois en Chine) and a hyped-up return to the form of director Philippe de Broca's previous action comedy, That Man from Rio, which also starred Belmondo.

Forever Love / Hollywood Taiwan / A Ma De Meng Zhong Qing Ren (2013)
Comedy | Romance
Taipei, spring 2013. Hsiao Chieh (Li Yi-chieh) visits her 70-year-grandfather, Liu Chi-sheng (Lung Shao-hua), in hospital after he fell of his bike when cycling around the island. As a young man in the late '60s, Chi-sheng was the hottest scriptwriter in the local Hokkien-dialect section of the film industry, sometimes working on seven scripts simultaneously and employed by Hsiao Chih-kao (Liao Jun) at his studio Chih Kao Pictures in Peitou, a northern suburb of Taipei. Hsiao Chieh grew up watching films in a cinema, the Hollywood Theatre, that Chi-sheng owned later in life. His wife, Chiang Mei-yueh (Shen Hai-jung), is now losing her mind, imagining she is Chin Yueh-feng, a popular actress from the '60s. In hospital, Chi-sheng tells Hsiao Chieh stories from the high days of his career. Summer 1969: one of his scripts, secret-agent adventure Spy No. 7 premieres at the Hollywood Theatre, with Hokkien-dialect superstars Wan Pao-lung (Edison Wang) and Chin Yueh-feng (Tien Hsin) in attendance. Chi-sheng first meets the young Mei-yueh (Amber An) – a huge fan of Pao-lung since the hit melodrama, I Love You to My Bones, which Chi-sheng wrote – as she tries to sneak in without a ticket. Chi-sheng later re-meets her when she attends auditions held by the studio, and helps her get a part in the follow-up production, Spy No. 7 on Monster Island. When aged director Li (Chen Ping-nan) dies during production, Chi-sheng is asked to take over by his boss, and he revises the script into "a romantic espionage fantasy epic", Spy No. 7: On the Moon for Love, with Mei-yueh taking on the lead female role when Yueh-feng goes AWOL in a tiff. Chi-sheng and Mei-yueh fall in love, but the days of Hokkien-dialect movies are already numbered as the government decrees that all films should henceforth be made in the Mandarin dialect.
