Once upon a time there was a hero named Odysseus.
He wanted to go home after a decade-long Trojan War.
On the way home, Odysseus encountered a great number of perils and it took him ten years to go home.
However, Odysseus had to beat off those who wanted to steal his wife and home before he could be reunited with his family.
Odysseus's epic journey was later recorded by a Greek poet. The story is called "The Odyssey."
Hello? Okay. Yes, I'll go out the door right away.

I'm here.
- What the hell, man! - I'm sorry.
Pick it up.
- How can you walk without looking around? - I'm sorry.
Hurry up, they're starting.
Hurry!
Why do you smell so odd? What happened to your washroom?
- Water stopped. Do you want to smell? - Stop fooling around.
- Did you prepare the tape?- Yes.
Okay, let's go. Hurry.
- I'll shoot there first. - Okay.
Smile. One, two, braces! Yay.
- Hey! - What?
She's so hot.
I think I have a lot of luck today.
- Jiang Xiao Xian. - Yes. - Come here.
- Chest or legs? - Legs.
We don't clash. Yeah!
Yeah.
Wow! Huge dark circles, bad guy smile. Your type, your type.
No, the right one.
Forget it.
Oh, so sad, that girl already has someone.
Three more minutes before the ceremony. This way please.
Hurry up and organize, it's about time for the ceremony,
People say you can only be a bridesmaid three times. This is already my third time.
Three times? I've been a groomsmen for about 4-5 times already.
That's not the main point.
Then don't be it anymore.
Don't!
Jerk! How can he fool around at such a formal event?
One more minute before the ceremony. The bridesmaids and groomsmen will enter first.
Let's take a picture.
Groomsman, bridesmaid, look this way.
Are you guys wedding paparazzi?
Sorry, miss, I want to make you pretty in the pictures. You must smile, okay?
Let's enter! This way please.
Remember to not frown. Action.

Metro of Love Shotgun Wedding Episode 1
Look at your face. How can you expect to be the lead male character with that face? Be pragmatic, okay?
I am pragmatic, okay? I work hard for my money, shooting The Odyssey,
then after that I shoot more videos.
Right, do you have time on Wednesday? Can you do a shoot for me?
Are you done last time already?
This is the 35th time.
It's already been 35 times? You've been shooting that like it's constipated.
David Lynch took 5 years to make "The Elephant Man" and now he's internationally famous. Won't I succeed too if I keep filming 5 more years?
That's David Lynch. You're shit. What kind of director films for 10 years?
"The Grandmaster" took 10 years.
He is Wong Kar-wai. You're still shit.
So what if I'm shit. All my lead actors are not as well-known. So what if I take 10 years?
That's a fairy tail, okay. Who will return to the wife after leaving her for 10 years?
Oh, really?
My dad is coming home. Odyssey is going home.
My dad is coming home.
My dad will come back. Odyssey will come back.
My dad will come back.
Odyssey will come back.
I believe there is someone.
What time is it now?
- I'm going to work, bye. - Bye.
I'll bring you home.
Xiang Xian, wait up.
Xiang Xian!
Are they still arguing?
They are quarrelsome lovers.
Baby, your dress is stunning. Can I take a few photos?
If you really get pregnant, how are you going to study abroad with a pregnant belly?
Why can't I? A lot of my friends do that. They can manage their studies and family life.
My friends aren't like that.
Who doesn't give up their dreams after marriage and live a good life?
Or else it's because of dreams they divorce.
Let me tell you that marriage is the tomb of love and the tomb for dreams.
Come on. Okay. Tomb. Tomb. I dare to jump into the tomb, do you?
Sir, are you getting out?
Are you getting out?
I'm going to the parking lot.
I'm sorry, I have to get out. Can you move aside?
Hey, where are you going?!
Your dad mailed some tangelos. They are delicious.
Oh. You help yourself well, don't you?
I have peeled it for you.
Have you found a tenant for that empty room yet?
How could I. I'm so busy, I don't have any free time.
Or should I look for someone on the internet?
No, there are many weird people online.
At least it should be a friend's friend.
Okay.
Are you going to be the bridesmaid?
How did you know?
There is a gown on your couch.
Daughter, when are you getting married?
I'm going to prepare you a house
and an acre land for your dowry. Why don't you get married quickly?
But at least, you can give birth to a grandson for me to hold.
But no one wants to have one with me.
Really? That's okay. That's okay. I have a list of names here.
There are 20 young men on the list. They are all excellent.
There are doctors, lawyers, accountants...
Dad, I have to work tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye bye. Bye bye.
Hey. Hey.
Keep asking. Keep asking. Keep asking.
How about this? This way.
Those legs are really beautiful
They're not bad, right?
Do you have one with toes?
Are you abnormal? Who would want to take pictures of toes?
Her legs are so pale, can you zoom in?
Hey, you still haven't cleaned the bathroom.
Oh, okay.
Get busy. Get busy.
Hey. Please don't peek at my toes first, okay?
I don't care, it's my camera.
Wait a bit.
Ling Xiang Hai, are you there? I'm the landlady.
Ling Xiang Hai, are you in there?
Ling Xiang Hai, hurry up and open the door!
You owe me half year of rent! Ling Xiang Hai!
Let me tell you that I have requested the court to force evacuation.
At that time, the police will come chase you out.
Lin Xiang Hai! You forcibly occupy my house without paying rent and you don't move out. You're shameless.

Enjoy the little things.
Owner, I want a pound of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Beans.
Okay. It's 1,500 TWD per pound.
Do you like to drink Blue Mountain Coffee?
Sorry, you are...?
I was that one from the wedding that day.
Oh, you're that snake...
Nothing.
A pound of Blue Mountain for $1500 TWD is expensive.
Do you want to try Yergacheffe? A pound for 500 TWD. It has a naturally fruity, sour taste.
- It goes down smooth and the aftertaste is better than Blue Mountain's. It suits you well.- Thanks.
But I still believe you get what you pay for.
Thank you.
Wait.
If you want good coffee, just come and find me.
- Bye-bye. - Thank you.
She's drinking the price, not the quality.
Why do you care so much.
The more expensive, the better it sells.
What are you doing?
There's a bit of a difficulty.
No credit, okay?
Please help me out a little.
Help you out?
Valued customers, we apologize for this inconvenience. I'll try another approach at customer service.
The banks's number 1-3 service lines are for business only.
Let's continue to wait patiently until the number on your card is called.
For other services such as payments, you can see this lady here.
You do not need a number card, you can simply line up behind the counter.
We prepared coffee for you. Please help yourselves.
Thank you.

Let's go eat spicy pot, okay?
Okay.
Okay, I want to eat meat.
You're off from work?
I'm eating vegetables today, you can eat your meat.
You're hungry, right? Let's go eat. Okay?
Come on! Let's go.
Give me your hand.
What do you mean?
Xiao Xian, you know that I love you.
Just give me two more years.
Two years?
Yes. We will get married,
but you have to wait for me to be more stable.
Okay.
Let's register first.
Register...
Register and marriage is the same.
Right, we will register first, then we'll have a ceremony two years later.
If I were to get married in the future, of course you would be the bride.
But I'm not prepared now.
After two years, after I become the division manager, then we'll talk, okay?
That's why we're registering first.
Can we not talk about this matter?
Let's eat a bit and I'll bring you home.
I have to go back to work overtime.
What am I to you?
I'm just your sex slave.
That sounds terrible if you say it like that.
I just want a normal family and a man I can rely on.
Am I asking for too much?
I'm your support.
Why do we have to marry?
Marriage is just paperwork.
After all, you don't want to get married.
Right now getting married only requires registration, doesn't need any paper, okay?
You are so stubborn.
Before you used to say I had personality and now you're calling me stubborn?
Okay, pay.
Do you know what I don't like about you?
When I communicate with you, it's like hitting an egg against the wall.
I'm embarrassed but you don't hear anything.
Hi, how are you?
Hey, groomsman!
Hey, wedding shoot. What's this.
What should I drink?
Don't look at the drink menu, I can make you a drink based on your mood right now.
Okay, then very annoyed.
No problem.
Blue Lagoon. Slow drink this, then you won't be annoyed anymore.
Pretty good.
I didn't know you are actually really good at making drinks.
Since you are so good, why do you even bother having another job as a wedding photographer?
I need money.
This car is expensive. Are you the second generation of a rich family?
No, I'm in the cellphone business.
You can make this much money in the cellphone business?
Are you the boss?
I'm just an engineer.
Chen Dong.
Hello, you're here.
Hello, I'll take my leave first.
Thanks for your drink.
You're welcome.
Let's go. Your change!
Keep the change.
Oh, really?
What? Is he trying to show off? Don't make change.
No, I think he's quite a good person.
He has money, and a car, and hot girls?
I want to change my job to a cell phone engineer.
Plus one.
No change, really?
Really.
Look are the ring he gave me.
Such a handsome, rich bachelor like him wouldn't be easy to settle down with.
Once those engineers spend too much time with their machines,
they're going to people like machines, too.
He has a bad temper, too.
Once we were arguing on the highway.
He told me to get out right there.
I used my own two legs to get out.
No way.
Also, when we normally go to work then go home,
their company competes for who stays the latest.
His responsibility to me is to go on half a date then go back to company for a meeting.
His business trips are three months each. What am I supposed to do?
I feel so wronged.
But you still want to get married to him.
You probably love him, right?
At this age I'm not thinking of love, but thinking about if we suit each other.
Then you don't suit each other.
Any realistic person would think you're not suitable.
But sometimes it's quite romantic.
Jiang Xiao Xian, have you ever thought of making him marry you if you're pregnant?
Don't ever do something like that! Using your child as a bargaining chip will make you feel bad!
Who was the one complaining before but making soups now?
You have no backbone!
I just have no backbone.
- I'm going! - Bye bye.
Xiao Xian.
I'm telling you, it's not like this.
She's just... you know...
Xiao Xian.
- Starting salary 55k. - What's that?
It means starting salary is 5,500 TWD.
- Wow.- The required minimum educational attainment is a bachelor's degree.
Is having studied at the university, okay?
You have to study a math-related subject.
My math is terrible.
And finance, and an international language like English.
Yes, yes, yes, English.
The bridesmaid is here.
Hi.
Your boyfriend just came here.
I don't have a boyfriend.
Oh, really?
♫ Love, don't leave… ♫
♫ Lovers may have lots of things that they can't figure out ♫
I don't have a boyfriend.
Oh, really?
- Do you want coffee...? - I want to drink wine.
I can make a cocktail based off your mood right now.
What's your mood at the moment?
I want to kill someone.
Okay.
"Don't be angry"
Drink it slowly and you won't be mad anymore.
But you have to drink slowly, because this cocktail has a bit of a kick, so that's why you have to drink it slowly.
One more.
How is your mood now?
I still want to kill someone.
"Happy break up."
This must be enjoyed slowly as well because it too has a strong kick.
Also I just added a...
One more.
So, how is your mood right now?
I still want to kill someone.
Oh! Okay!
"Long live love."
That's so good! What is it?
Give me one more.
You work in a pretty nice environment.
I think it's so hearwarming.
Look.
"Girl don't cry."
Look! Is it pretty? I bought it a few days ago.
Why aren't you looking at me?
"Love-ING"
Deeee!
That's so delicious!
How can you know so well..
You really know how to do this well! Give me another one.
One hundred glasses! One hundred glasses! I still want to drink one hundred more glasses.
Hurry up, one hundred glasses...
This is for you.
She fell asleep. I'm going home.
Close the bill.
What's that?
I feel like you two hit it off well. Keep it up.
I don't use this.
You're so fierce! You don't use this?
No, I'm not...
Alright, be careful. If you get caught by that fat-ass, you're dead.
Fighting, bye.
Where's your home?
You don't mind my business.
I have to send you home.
I don't want to go home!
Gross, don't vomit!
Don't vomit on me!
Where exactly is your house?
I didn't know where your house was so I brought you to my house.
My head is so heavy.
This can relieve hangovers.
Is this okay?
No, it's not...
♫ Love, don't leave… ♫
♫ Lovers may have lots of things that they can't figure out ♫
Hello?
Jing Xiang
Cut! You did well.
If it's good, we'll change the location.
This role is so suitable for you!
- Did you do it yesterday? - No.
- Did you get a feel? - No.
You didn't do anything? Are you even a man?
She kissed me.
Hey, not bad.
Did she leave her phone?
- She really left it? - It's with me.
Wow, she left her phone!
She takes too much initiative.
She must like you a lot.
Really?
There isn't a set password.
I think she left it accidentally.
How can she be so careless. It's dangerous.
Woah, that leg! Wow!
Don't look at her phone. She also has her privacy.
Don't worry. You haven't slept with her, so there are no feelings.
I don't want to be your younger cousin. If you have feelings, it'll be fine for you. Just take care of her.
Also, I've really found a director.
You can help me act in a show.
I must have Lin Xiang Hai in it.
Just like how Wu Yu Sen's movies always have pigeons.
Pigeons?
Hey, Zhen Pin, come change the camera lens.
I'm coming.
Let's bet. I bet you'll peek at it.
I won't.
Hey, it's your turn.
The station!
The station... The station is not far.
Lower your voice!
Don't believe it. There's so much bacteria at the station.
He's down there! Must be rotten!
Whatever. If it's rotten, it still doesn't concern me.
Where did you sleep yesterday?
A friend's house.
Nobody's picking up the phone.
Phone... My phone?!
Someone is calling. Do you want to take the call?
- Hello? - Is my phone in your hands?
Yes.
Where are you?
At Nei Hu.
Then let's meet 12:30 at the Central Service Station.
At Dian Fu Ting?
Hello?
My phone?
Wait.
When you have time, you can come to my bar for some coffee, not wine.
Thanks.
Look back, look back.
Yes.
Xiao Xian.
- Xiao Xian. - Go away!
- Xiao Xian! - Go away!
Xiao Xian.
Listen to me.
Just give me ten minutes.
Last night, I really didn't mean to betray you.
I accidentally drank too much.
You understand that it was just a jumble of hormones that night.
Forgive me, okay?
I want to break up.
Don't take decisions this fast.
I know, what about separating for a time.
And let each other calm down first.
Xiao Xian, you know that I want to go on with you.
I actually thought about it very clearly.
These three years, liking someone turned into a habit.
I don't even know if I like you.
We don't have to think about getting married or even think about having kids.
I think it's the best time to end it.
I know you're still mad at me.
It's my fault.
After your anger has subsided, we'll immediately plan the wedding.
Then we'll have the best wedding, okay?

The opening of filming "The Lonely Odyssey - 36 Generations." Be successful!
Hey, Director. Are you here to start the fireworks and to start to work?
Turn it on! Hey, where's the wire?
Didn't bring it.
Didn't I tell you to bring it?
I just forgot to bring it! Don't have to get mad!
Can't you go back and get it yourself?
Okay, never mind. You know how to sway it, right?
I know.
Up, down, left, right...
I know.
Rolling. Take one.
Action!
Up, up, left, right.
How was it? Did you film it?
Yup.
But I don't think you did it quite right.
Wasn't it just first left then right?
I meant my left side!
Not your left side!
You didn't tell me that! How was I supposed to know?
This kind of scene is really important! It's when Odysseus is congratulating his sister-in-law.
I have to fly up to represent the significance!
- Who'd understand? - You look like you're retarded.
Are you laughing at me?
I'm just telling the truth.
How about you film it by yourself?
If you don't want to film, don't!
Fine, then film it yourself!
You can self-film, and self-direct.
Why are you here?
You can't fire fireworks here.
I'm sorry if I frightened you.
Because of the scene, I had to light fireworks. It was only a few.
Just now, what were you doing flying around?
We were trying to do a new filming style.
It looks as if I am getting hit by a giant hand.
You look like you were really into it. From where I was, it looked really funny.
As long as the scene look good, it doesn't matter.
Do you really like filming movies?
It's my life.
What are your hands doing?
My hands are busy.
You, what are you doing?! You're a pervert!
Pervert! Pervert! Pervert!
Miss, what's wrong?
Look what his hands are doing!
Mister, what are you doing?
Some movements are not allowed in public!
It will be okay in a minute.
Stop right now!
Wait a minute, it's almost done.
How can you... how can you finish that fast?
It's film.
I'm filming a movie.
Miss.
I thought that he was...
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Wait a minute!
Can you help me with something?
Officer, after I say "rolling" in a minute, hit the shutter.
Okay.
Where do I go?
Where the camera can't see you.
When you start, it's the left first, then right.
Left, right, okay.
I have to go back to work.
It will be quick.
Mr. Police, don't shake too hard, just shake it softly, okay?
I know! It's the same as when we shoot illegal cars.
Can we hurry it up?
- Rolling. - Speed.
"The Lonely Odysseus," take two.
Action!
Hey, are you okay?
Cut!
"The Lonely Odysseus" ending for the 36th time.
Everyone worked hard.
Okay, then I'm leaving.
- Preview - What are you doing?
I want to confess.
Ding, ding, ding! Under this roof, you can't confess.
Do you still remember filming that Odysseus scene with me?
Yes.
Odysseus is a story about him doing everything to get back to his wife and baby.
Somethings cannot become a reality in the real world, but it can happen in a movie.
