The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel is a 2013 Chinese comedy film[1][2] directed by Guan Hu, starring Liu Ye, Zhang Hanyu and Huang Bo. The film is meant to be "mass entertainment", in the words of Guan, who also co-wrote the screenplay.[3] The film is set in 1942, during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Much of the plot[4] revolves around the fates of two Japanese scientists who are captured in Beiping (Beijing) by the three title characters, who have trouble deciding what to do with them.
