The scene opens with Mr. Dupuis lamenting the fact that his new romantic comedy, Falling for My Mistress Humula, has failed to make a profit. He has invested heavily in the production of the film, and he fears that the project will be ruined because of his fame. He resolves to confront the person who put his story into the script, but he is interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Lu, who informs him that the plot of the new film has been changed, and that he should contact the person responsible for the change.
