The manager wants you

What for?

I don't know

Will it be?

No, it's OK

I think Old Wang will have bad luck this time

What?

The manager has bad impression about him

Sijia, you aren't Li Meimei

Nobody has any say in front of the manager except

Don't bother to try to say anything for Old Wang

It's none of your business

Come in

You want to see me, manager

Old Wang, you're late again tonight

I've warned you three times

Manager

I know your wife is ill again, right?

The doctor said she has no hope That's why

That's too bad

But Old Wang you've been here for five years

You should know the rules here

Manager, I'll be on time tomorrow

Since your wife is serious ill

why don't you stay at home and take care of her

so that you aren't occupied by too many things

You don't have to show up anymore starting tomorrow

I don't have to show up?

Oh no, manager. No

What do you mean no?

Manager, I have a patient and three kids at home

If you fire me

how can I ever find another job?

Nothing I can do

Here is your salary with an extra week's pay

Manager, if you fire me

my whole family won't be able to survive

Manager, I'll be on time tomorrow

Manager, I can guarantee

What does it have to do with you?

Old Wang's wife is really sick

He isn't lying about it

Besides, he's been here for five years

This is a nightclub

not charity

Besides, I found someone new

Just take this. You can go now

Who can say there'll never be any emergency?

You think nobody in your family...

...will get sick or die?

Just shut up. Smart up

I can do without you, Deng Sijia

You'll be fired if you speak more on this

What? Sure I can go

Miss Deng doesn't want to stay here till I'm old

It's OK, Sijia. Let's make a nice farewell

Thank you, manager

What a jerk. Why did you thank him?

I don't want you losing your job because of me

It's not easy to find a job now

This is Miss Deng Sijia, famous for being the Wild

Miss Deng Sijia

Sijia, this is my old schoolmate Mr. Liang Hanhua

He's also a pianist

You will be good partners together

What? He is the one replacing Old Wang

Right. Hanhua used to be the elite in English major

He not only plays piano but also composes

He takes away other people's job as well

Never mind. That's her

She sounds tough

but is very kind-hearted

Also she sings like whoever she wants to be

You'll know once you work with her

Especially foreign operas Sounds like the original

Let me introduce

Where is Deng Sijia?

Miss Meimei Deng Sijia is drinking over there

Deng Sijia

What's the matter?

Deng Sijia

the isolation isn't so good here

We can hear you too well

You'd better lower down your volume

What?

This is an order from Manager Chen

Of course Who dare to disobey Manager Chen?

No problem, Miss Meimei

Love is like a balloon...

...that flows up and down with the wind

So you are the elite student from English major?

Can you play this one?

You want to sing this?

Why not? You don't think I can?

Of course not

Let's start them

It's so boring to be a woman

Let me become a man Do you think I look like one?

Yes

It's so boring to be in love with a woman

Women are noisy and troublesome

Why not go drinking and avoid getting into trouble

Only noisy women are interesting

It's terrible to be in love with a woman

They either cry or laugh all the time

Why not go gambling and avoid getting into trouble

I don't loving gambling. I love you

As long as you have money

As long as you are good at gambling

You might turn into a millionaire over night

Everybody, sing

It's so boring to be in love with a woman

Deng Sijia, are you trying to be against me on purpose

What's the matter, Miss Meimei?

Don't act any more

You try to make trouble against me here

How would I be able to sing on my side?

Damn it

I forgot everything when I see customers being happy

Sorry everyone

We must stop now

No

We're having so much fun Why do we have to stop?

How could that be?

No. Let's sing

I really appreciate your kindness

Because the isolation isn't so good here

Miss Meimei is disturbed whenever we sing here

No wonder Miss Meimei is upset

It's OK to offend you guys

but not Miss Meimei's guests

Aren't we all guests here?

We paid as well

We want you sing

No, no Miss Meimei will be angry with me

Tell her to get out

I'm really touched by your passion

You saw this, Miss Meimei

I have to go on singing

Deng Sijia, don't be so proud, I'll go to...

Tell Manager Chen, right?

Manager Chen said the customers are always right

Now the customers want me to sing

What can I do?

Manager Chen

It's the custom here Bow when you see the Manager

You want to hit me?

What if I hit you?

You're jealous again

Who do you think you are? You can't control me

You live with Deng Sijia, right?

Introduce me to her You'll have a good deal

Why are you helping her? Is she your mother?

Damn you

You don't even help when you see woman being bullied

Beat you up

Why aren't you helping?

Stop. Everyone stops it

You are wounded. It's all my fault

Suxin

Hanhua, what happened to you? You're wounded

Let's go out. I'll tell you

Hanhua

Please tell Manager Chen that I'm resigning

Don't resign Manager Chen asked me to tell you...

...he saw everything

It's not your fault

No, I can't stay in a place like this

Don't. Go back and take a rest

Think about it

Call me tomorrow and see if you'll work here

It's my fault that you are wounded

Your kindness isn't appreciated at all

He simply pushed you away

Now you know what it's like to be rejected

Didn't you say you could captivate any man?

What happened this time?

Stop that nonsense. I tell you

if I can't get him within ten days

I'm not a human being

Ten days? Time goes fast

It's fourteenth on the tenth day

Time passes by at an eye blink

Never mind

If I can't get him, I'm not a human being

Not that you aren't a human being

You are an unqualified vixen

Hanhua do you really want to give up the job?

I just can't deal with those people and the environment

The pay isn't bad. It's a pity giving it up

Besides, Mom is so happy about it

It's so difficult to find a job. Now...

Don't be upset. Put on your jacket

If your Mom sees you are wounded she'll be hurt

I won't go in

Is that you Hanhua?

I'm back, Mom

Hanhua, you are off work so late You must be tired

Mom, why aren't you laying in bed?

Don't worry about it I'm getting much better

I should get up and take a walk

Suxin, why standing at the door place? Come in

No, auntie. I have to go back

What's the hurry? You live next door Just come in

Come in. I made noodles with shredded pork for you

And more

Look, your favorite dishes

Mom, you?

We should celebrate now you got this job

I'll get the noodles

You've been through hard times lately

I borrowed five dollars from our neighbor Ms. Zhao

Remember to return the money when you are paid

I also bought a bottle of beer for you

Hanhua you haven't been drinking for months

I know you like drinking

Hanhua, what's wrong?

Suxin, what's the matter?

It's nothing

You are cheating me

No. Hanhua isn't used to that kind of work place

Hanhua, don't be like this

You'll get used to it after a while, right?

Yes, I'll get used to it

What did Manager Chen say then?

Of course he'll speak for that woman

But everyone can see she hit me first with her fist

I then kicked her but nobody noticed

You are too wild

No wonder people call you Wild Rose

It's so true

I'm used to be wild, indeed

If it isn't because the guy named Liang held me

I might have killed...

That bitch bit me

Now it started to hurt Better not get rabies tomorrow

Let me take a look. Let me wrap it

What's the matter with you?

Nothing

Let me tell something very funny

What is it?

Do you know Fat Lin really likes you?

Fat Lin likes me? Isn't he your man?

I can't control him

So you want to give him to me No, thank you

You'd better keep the gift yourself

Sijia, you know I've been planning...

...to set up a small private club

Fat Lin promised to come up with the money

As an old friend, please help me

I told you long ago. I sing...

...and you socialize

Nobody depends on the other one

I'm not a stupid woman

To be with a disgusting man for money

no way

You are a big fool

You'll know the advantage when you're my age

If you don't like to be with a disgusting man

go to find one who isn't disgusting...

...but well-off

But this kind of men has no money

Like the one named Liang

You saw the way he fought

A kick, then a punch

This is a real man I like

However, this is the type of men with no money

The tenth day

The guy named Liang is going to be in trouble

Yes. You are Hanhua?

You are coming back. That's great

When are you coming back?

What's his name?

Liang Hanhua

Hanhua We all welcome you coming back

Tell him to come to practice now

It's for business

Hanhua could you come over to practice now?

Yes, now. See you

Sijia, my schoolmate is an honest man

You know honest people get serious easily

Better not tease him

Tease him?

And also, he's engaged

Even married men fall for me

Let alone someone engaged

Couldn't you have some morals once in life?

Who said I'm immoral?

Isn't it for business asking him to come to practice?

Business?

It's none of your business

I am a young widow

A young widow

I don't have a husband and I need one

You should know the hard feelings of a young widow

The flames of my passion burns inside of me

It must find its way out

You put on a serious face

You are being pretentious

You know it in your heart

Don't you?

Don't you?

Give your emotions to women

Make closer steps

Why are you such a coward?

Men should be bold and vulgar

Don't act like a piece of wooden carving

I'm not a tiger that's going to eat you

I will never swallow you

Come to dinner with me what do you think?

I want to thank you for yesterday

It's not necessary I have an appointment with a friend

A friend? Is it your fiance?

Let me see your engagement ring

How pretty. Give it to me

Don't make fun of it. Give it back

Don't worry. It's too big

I don't want it even if you give it to me

Let me throw it away

How could you do this?

Don't worry. Look at you

Hanhua, your friend is here

Introduce her to me

This is Miss Deng, Deng Sijia

This is Suxin, Wu Suxin

Miss Wu, Hanhua has been waiting for you

He said you are a friend. But I know...

...you are his fiance

Little devil, you want to hide a secret from me?

You'll have to make an effort managing your fiance

See you tonight. Your ring. Back to you

Suxin, listen to me

What else can you say?

She is making fun of me on purpose

What a crazy creature

Let her have her way

I saw everything. I'll be the witness

Just go

What are you doing?

Sijia, are you still a human being?

How can you fall in love with each one you meet?

Why are you jealous again?

You think you have the right to be jealous?

Let me tell you, not even my husband

Not even your husband? I doubt it

I have good news for you

The Cyclops is coming in couple of days

The Cyclops?

Your husband. He is out of jail

What? He is out of jail. I don't believe it

Even if he is free he dares not to come here

He has criminal record here

You're way underestimating him

I'm not afraid. Let me tell you, Little Liu

Stay out of my business

If you stand between me and Liang Hanhua

I'll break off my relationship with you

This is all the fact Believe it or not, it's up to

Suxin, don't you have any faith in me?

Let's say I misunderstood you

Don't ever get close to that woman again

Whatever you say

Let's go

Sijia

Old Wang, I came to see your wife

How is she?

The doctor said no hope No need for medication

But I don't want to give up Maybe there is cure

One doctor said...

...an operation might save her, but...

Money problem, right?

Two thousand How can I get two thousand dollars?

I've been in heavy debt...

...in the past three months since she was ill

I took this to the pawnshop

But they wouldn't take it

Don't worry. Let me go in and take a look at her

You are back. Go to see you wife

She is crying again

Thank you

Daddy Mom doesn't want to take the medicine

Why are you doing this? Your health is more important

Your health will get worse if you cry like this

Come on, take the medicine

I've been dragging you down because of my illness

We don't have enough to feed the kids

How do you think I can take this?

Don't say this. I want you to recover

Then I won't be worried

No matter how hard it is

I want you to be cured

Take this

I don't want to

You don't want any treatment or medication

You are doing everything against me

You are driving me crazy You are driving me to death

Does it do anything good to you?

Mom, please take the medicine

No. My illness can't be cured anyway

All right. Don't take it then. Let's all die

Why are you crying? Stop crying

She is a patient. Don't treat her like this

You have to coax her slowly

Sorry. I forgot you are here

About the two thousand dollars Let me try

I'll need three or four days

You know I don't have money on hand either

Even if you have you would have helped friends with it

I haven't returned the money I owe you yet. Now...

No need to talk about it now I'll think of something

Keep in touch

Thank you

Sijia seems to be worried about something these days

Her mind just isn't in it Do you know why?

Maybe because of money

She seems to be in urgent need of money

There is something else to it besides money

Are you talking about me again?

We aren't. What did Manager Chen say?

You needn't to ask

He wouldn't lend a penny

Sijia, why are you in such urgent need?

I have my reasons

Stop talking to me I have so many things in my mind

There is something else to your worries...

...other than money

What else?

It's because of Liang Hanhua

What about Liang Hanhua?

You boasted that within ten days

Liang will prostrate before your pomegranate skirt

However, it's the eighth day already

Liang is still so cold to you

What's the hurry? Only the eighth I've two more days

Two days will pass by in an eye blink

Do you want to postpone the date?

Postpone? Get lost

Come in. Take a seat

It's OK

You seem to be afraid of her?

He's afraid of me taking his soul

You'd better go back early

What will you do if you have no soul?

When you see your fiance?

What a joke. What am I afraid of?

Do you have the light?

I don't smoke

In that case I have to give up

Look, your tie isn't straight

Stop it, Sijia. Will you?

He is so annoyed Why you won't let go of him?

Do I annoy you?

Stop it

You aren't worth it

You have a lot of to explain to your unlucky wife

This woman is so disgusting

Miss Deng

Miss Deng do you have time for desert tonight?

I'm not in the mood for going out

My Mom is ill and need 2500 dollar for medication

Sijia

I can do something with it

but it's a bit too expensive

Do you think you can bargain with the doctor for me?

Just kidding. Just a small amount No problem

How about this? I'll treat you for desert tonight

Just the two of us

Sherry, aren't you engaged in something else tonight?

Right

That's it then Don't forget to bring the money

Money. I have plenty of money

Sijia, this isn't the way asking for money

You agreed so easily

Aren't you afraid that he despises you?

We need money from him for opening our club

Now all went down the drain because of 2500 dollars

I'm in urgent need. Never mind I have my ways

Five hundred is for your introduction fee

What's left is none of your business

What do you want to sing?

I don't have money, but a heart

My heart is full of passion and sympathy

sadness and pain

I have been through all kinds of insult

and ruthless humiliation

I can suffer and sacrifice

but I'll never lose this heart

I have no money and have to sell my soul...

...to fulfill my heart of sympathy

...to fulfill my heart of sympathy

Sijia

Why are you here so late?

I've been waiting at the door place

and came in when I see nobody around

Come here

Here is 2000 dollar for you to take care of your wife

Come to me if it isn't enough I'll find a way

Thank you so much You saved us every time

We are colleagues We should help each other out

Sorry I couldn't send it to your home

I must go I don't want people here sees me

Sijia, the guy who was just here was it Old Wang?

The guy from whom I took the job away

It's already the past. Why mention it?

Besides, his wife is seriously ill

He couldn't put his mind in his job anyway

Sijia, I didn't know you are so kind-hearted

I didn't know at all

There are so many things you don't know

I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart

Are you?

Sijia, where were you last night?

Why do you ask?

Fat Lin has been bragging everywhere

He said he bought you for 5000 dollars

It's none of your business

How could you let him ruin you for 5000 dollars?

He paid for it

You can't stop him, can you?

But I must tell you one thing

There are only 2500, not 5000

500 is introduction fee for Sherry

She introduced me to have drinks and desert with him

You shameless bitch

Stop calling her names

What's this about?

How much did she pay you to make you take her side?

Never mind. Let him go

Get out

Don't be all puffed up Fat Lin's wife also knows it

She said she was going to beat you up

Great. I can have a Kongfu competition with her then

Just wait and see

This guy is crazy

Let me send you back home

Come in for a rest

No. I'd better not

Are you afraid I'm going to eat you?

No, I...

Just come in

I

Look at you

I'll go and get changed. Wait for me

Tell me why you want to send me back tonight?

Lin's wife said she would bring trouble to you

No need to worry about it

You've never seen her

She is as skinny as a bamboo stick

I'll never be afraid of her

It's no good anyway

Women of her type think they're superior

They only want men for permanent food ration

Indeed for money

I also want men for money

They are for wholesale, but I'm for retail

I also come with bonus

They aren't as generous as I am

What do you think? Are they as generous as I am?

Oh

Come to give me a hand The zipper broke

Silly. Help me

No. You have a fiance

No, I love you. Maybe long ago...

But I've been controlling myself. I...

Sijia, do you love me?

I do. I love you. But I must tell you

My love never lasts. Aren't you afraid?

How do you know?

I had no parents since I was a little

I lived on the street when I was fourteen

I was once a thief and a cheat I was married before

I tried everything

I've seen all kinds of people

There is no single good man in the world

I know I'm an inconstant woman

I fall in love with each man I see and then I dump him

If you dump me, I'll kill you

If you kill me, you won't survive either

We'll have to die together

Are you all right?

It's OK. The thread broke

It's already three o'clock Why isn't Hanhua back yet?

He is never so late

Maybe he is involved in something

Hanhua

You're waiting for me till so late

I was talking to some friends

We have great news for you

Auntie, why don't you tell him?

You tell him

Hanhua, have a guess

I don't know

I came across the principle of school this afternoon

He asked you to go back to teach music

You've been hoping to...

...go back to school and teach, right?

What's wrong, Hanhua? Aren't you happy about it?

No. I mean...

...I'm paid better with the present job

I don't want to be a teacher at this moment

You said it yourself

You said the environment with this job isn't so go

You don't want to deal with those people

That's why I went Principle Hu Now why?

It was you going to the Principle?

Yes. What's the matter with you?

You went to him to ask for a job for me Thank you

No matter what happens to Liang Hanhua

I don't need you to beg the Principle...

...for a bowl of rice

What's the matter with you, Hanhua?

I've never seen you like this

Suxin does this for your good

I know why He is unwilling to part with that woman

Woman? What woman? Go on, Suxin

The woman in the nightclub called the Wild Rose

Deng something

Wild Rose?

Jajajambo

You looking at me and I looking at you

Have you ever seen me being so happy

You looking at me and I looking at you

Have you ever seen me being so self-satisfied?

Don't ask me why I'm so happy so joyful...

...and so self-satisfied?

Even if you ask me

I don't want to, I won't

and I can't honestly tell you

Jajajambo...

If I must say it

it will be vague and confusing

Jajajambo

Better leave me alone

so that none will be annoying or garrulous

Jajajambo...

Better leave me alone...

...so that none will be annoying or garrulous

Jajajambo...

I have to get changed Wait for me at the door place

It's the tenth day today

Liang Hanhua is still so cold to you

You lost this time

I lost. Completely. My treat tomorrow

Sijia never lost before. Finally this time

It shouldn't be so easy

Who is in there?

You don't even know you husband?

What are you doing here?

I came to see you

How do you know I am here?

I've eyes and ears that can hear and see miles away

What are you doing?

To borrow some money

How did you open it?

You forgot this is my trade

I tell you, I came here for you

I'll get some money and take you away for a happy life

I am not going

What?

I am not going

Don't forget I am your husband

Husband? You deceived me

You used me committing all kinds of crimes

I tell you I'll never go with you

You forgot what the Cyclops could do to you

Let me go

Let you go?

Are you coming with me or not?

No

Hanhua, you beat him to death. Hurry Let's go

Let's hide in Taipo and Yuanlung and see

No, we can't go without money

I want to leave this to you

Thank you. I'll bring back the receipt

Do you regret?

For you, I won't regret even if I killed

What if I dump you?

You won't

How do you know I won't?

I fall in love with everyone I meet

If you dump me, I'll kill you

Kill me?

Please keep half of the money

and give the rest to my mother

I dare not expect you to forgive me

however, my Mom's always treated you as a daughter

You won't leave a poor and sick old lady alone...

...because I did something wrong, right?

I trust you, Suxin. Here is my address

In case anything happens, please write me Hanhua

Suxin, they are here to look for Hanhua

Haven't you heard from Hanhua?

Better tell us if you know

It's OK

The Cyclops didn't die He passed death crisis

He admitted he opened the safe box

Hanhua won't go on trial for serious crime

You should tell us if you know where he is

No, I can't. I don't know

Besides, Hanhua has nothing to do with the money

Most likely, Deng Sijia took the money

Why should Hanhua carry the burden for her?

Suxin, don't you know how to find Hanhua?

Suxin, tell them Hanhua's address

How would I know where he is?

No need to hide from them

I would rather my son go to jail

than hide from people for the rest of his life

Suxin, tell them the address in the letter

Are you Liang Hanhua?

Yes

Hold up your hands

Hanhua, your mother asked me to disclose your address

Hanhua

Zhiping, I am so sorry

It was me beating the Cyclops to death...

...and stealing the money

It has nothing to do with anyone else

Good. You're very direct

This is the public notice for arresting you

Where is the money you stole?

In my pocket

Let's go

You have no sense of honor You useless shit

Sijia

Where are you going?

To go for tea with Fat Lin

He asked me to take you out for dancing tonight

Did he?

Go just once for me

I've never seen you like this

Why are you doing this to yourself?

You are always wearing a sad face

Why don't you go out for a walk?

What's the use for you waiting here for Hanhua?

You don't understand

I only know what love is till now

What are you talking about?

Real love is about sacrifice

It's not about cheating for money or blackmailing

He asked me to wait for him Three more months

He'll I be out of jail in three months

He asked me to wait for him till he gets out of jail

Then live a serious life with him

He'll go to get a job teaching music

We'll rent a cheap place

I'll stay at home and be a good wife

That's real love

Are you planning to move out of here?

Yes. We've found a place

We'll move in in couple of days

Sijia, how come you changed so much?

Don't mind my business

I want to talk to you about something

We bought all the furniture together

Now I want to move out

I don't have money on hand

There are plenty of clothes in the closet

I won't need them any more

I want to give them all to you

Either you sell them or wear them...

...for the exchange of the furniture

What do you say?

Whatever you say

Three more months

Hanhua

Mother

Everyone makes mistakes

As long as you want to repent and be good

You'll be a man again

Be careful. Don't catch cold

I'm lucky to have Suxin looking after me these days

She treats me like her mother

Don't hurt her anymore

Mother

You aren't allowed to see this woman any longer

Mother I'll do anything for you except this

Then don't call me mother Go to that woman

Mother, Suxin, I'm so sorry

Just go

Suxin you don't have to look after me any more

My son is hopeless

He won't change his mind about you

One day he will come back. Don't worry

We can't owe money to the store and for rent anymore

You still can't find a job

Don't even talk about it

I'll have a chance later

Wait. Always wait

Hanhua, just let me go to sing

Don't. How many times have I told you?

I don't want you to go out and sing

How much money do you have with you?

A few dollars to buy rice for tomorrow

Give it to me

What do you want money for?

For the bus fair. I'll go to see a friend

Maybe I can borrow some money

How do you know I am here?

I can find you even if you go to the end of the world

What do you want me for?

The Cyclops ordered me to take you to see him

The Cyclops?

Old Tian and I were fired by Manager Chen...

...since you stopped singing

There nothing I can do except following the Cyclops

He knows I know you well

That's why he made me come to get you

I'm not going

You're getting so snobbish Nobody can make you go

I have nothing to talk to the Cyclops

Tell him I don't want to see him

Why are you drinking again?

Didn't you say you would borrow money from a friend?

Couldn't find anyone

That's all the money we have left

Now you took it for drinking again

We'll have nothing to eat tomorrow

Leave it for tomorrow

Hanhua, you can't do this all the time

Drinking doesn't solve any problem

Hanhua, I know you love me and I love you too

But we have to eat

We have to survive

If you can't find a job

think of something else

You want to go out and sing. I...

Hanhua, why wouldn't you let me?

Hanhua, I know we have criminal record

But there are so many nightclubs out there

I don't think all of them will reject me

I know you don't want to ask for a favor

But I would

Never in my life...

...have I spoken in favor of myself to anyone

But for us

I'll do anything I can kneel down to them...

...because we can't be like this anymore

Hanhua, let me do it

I don't want you to expose in the public again

People in the nightclubs aren't nice at all

Besides, I don't want you supporting me

You don't want me to support you

But you would let Wu Suxin supporting you mother

I got it. Because she is a teacher She has a noble job

But I sing, which is low class

All right. Let her pay for us as well then

Where are you going?

Going out

I don't allow it

Hanhua I do whatever I want since I was a kid

I don't like to take orders

Sijia

Hi. Why were you lost all of a sudden?

We've been looking for you for so long

Why are you like this?

Let's go to my place

No, I have something else to do

Give your old buddy some face. Let's go

I've been lucky in the pasts half a year

I've been doing OK

That's why I've been looking for you all over the place

You and I have been through difficulties together

I'm doing well now Certainly I won't forget you

The whole place is changed

I can't even recognize that I lived here before

Fat Lin still thinks of you often

Tell him I'm married

Don't be so silly

Why are you doing this having no food nor clothes?

One day, you'll regret

Don't forget I love Hanhua

Then don't ruin him if you love him

It's good to both of you if you two separate

He can go back to him fiance

Maybe even find a job teaching music

As for you you can make as much money...

...as you can when you are still young and beautiful

Stop it

Sijia

Just stop it

Don't blame me for talking too much

You are ruining Hanhua by loving him this way

What kind of future does he have?

The most he can do is being dependant on you

He'll hate you one day

Sijia, I've seen all kinds of people

Sijia, you must listen to me

Since you argued with Hanhua today

never mind if he proves it or not

Just leave him. Don't be so indecisive

It's decided

Boss Wang at Silvercity Nightclub told me yesterday... -

...he was looking for a singer

I'll take you to see him tomorrow

Have an audition There shouldn't be any problem

No, they won't accept me

Manager Chen has spread the word saying...

...I almost got someone killed

He said Hanhua almost beat the Cyclops to death...

...and stole his money

What are you worried about? I came up with this idea

I have my way to make them hire you

That's decided. OK?

Why am I full of love and emotions?

Love and emotions only hurt people

However I just can't escape

I thought I was only being pretentious for excitement

Never did I know it grew into real love

I can never leave you now

It's all my fault if there is any

I shouldn't have treated it like a game

If it was a game I should have just played along

Why did I lose my courage in the half way

become embroiled in love

and can never get up?

I have to blame myself...

...for filling myself with love and emotions

knowing they only bring trouble

Why can't I escape?

...and got myself into such situation?

I just can't leave him

Will I have to see him dying in my arms?

I didn't expect your Japanese friend...

...could sing so well. She also looks nice

She will be hot. I'll hire her

Do you know who she is?

Isn't she your Japanese friend?

She is Deng Sijia

Deng Sijia? Who used to sing at Lichi Nightclub?

Right

I used to go to Lichi every night because of her

If she comes out and sings again

I'll ask all my friends to be there for her

Certainly

She really sings well

I'll hire her no matter who she is

Really?

Of course

I'll go to tell her

Sijia, Boss Wang said yes He said he would hire you

Thank you

That's not necessary for old friends

Do you know why the whole band is here for you?

It's Old Wang

He asked all of them to come for you

Old Wang? Is Old Wang here?

I forgot to tell you last night

He is the bandmaster here

Sijia

Old Wang, how is your wife?

She's recovered because of the 2000 dollars...

...from you for the operation

You saved our lives

Sijia, I have 500 dollars here

It's the salary I just received

I'm only returning some to you. Take it

I have some here. Take this as well

You can wear these clothes

I feel so sad when I saw you yesterday

Sijia, don't be sad

You supported me for almost three years before

I'm OK now. Let me help a little

Listen to me. Take this

It's for you and Hanhua

You can fly on your own now?

I asked Little Liu to get you You gave us no face

Now I have to come in person

We are old flames I want to have a talk with you

You definitely should do me this favor

The Cyclops, cut the shit Speak up your mind

What's the hurry? Want to have some tea?

No need. What do you want me for?

You want me to go out there with you right?

Things aren't so smooth here lately

I want to go somewhere else with you

I'm not going. No matter what

You aren't afraid of me any longer right?

No, I'm not

Nothing you can do once a woman changed her mind

All right. I have one condition

What condition?

I want you to break up with him right away

Him?

Your lover, Liang Hanhua

You know

I never lose out there

But Liang Hanhua not only did beat me up seriously

he also took away my woman

How can I stay in my position if you are still with him?

You tell me. If I found out...

...you are still with him

I'll kill him

I don't want to talk to you

Let her go

Each word of mine counts

I want you to separate with him right away

If I found out you are still with Liang Hanhua

I'll kill him

Sijia, you are back Where have you been?

It's none of your business

Why?

Tell me

Where have you been since last night?

I've been to my boyfriend's place What can you do?

Boyfriend?

My boyfriend bought me all of these clothes

Who is the man?

What do you want?

I'll kill him

Go ahead. Nobody will stop you

You shameless bitch

You ruined my life. Look at me today

You want to leave me because I have no future, right?

Where is the money from? Where?

From my boyfriend. Body for cash

Understand? And it's none of your business

You penniless shit

Sijia, you can't go. Don't leave

You can go out and sing

You can go out and have a boyfriend

Whatever you like

Just don't leave me, Sijia

What is love? What is affection?

It is all illusion

What is infatuation? What is temptation?

It is only people acting

It's so boring to be in love with a woman

Women are noisy and troublesome

Why not go drinking and avoid getting into trouble?

I don't have money, but a heart

My heart is full of passion and sympathy

sadness and pain

Jajajambo...

I have to blame myself...

...for filling myself with love and emotions

Miss Wu?

Who is it? It's you

I want to have a word with you two

Come in

Suxin. Shut the door What do you want to say?

I don't blame you that you hate me

I broke your family apart because I love Hanhua

But I found...

...this is going to ruin him

I want to stop seeing him for his future

I haven't been home for couple of days

Hanhua might feel very sad now

That why I came to you This is his address

I hope you can go to see him

He's been unemployed for couple of months

I hope he can find a job

I took two months salary in advance...

...to get some clothes for Hanhua

He should dress properly when looking for a job

Don't ever tell him I gave you the money

I don't want to hurt him. Please take this

No, Miss Deng I understand your good intentions

But I can't take your money

Suxin, return the money to Miss Deng

Miss, Deng, whatever you want to say speak to me

I'm reasonable

Nothing

I sing at Sivercity Nightclub every night

Come to me whenever you need me

Hanhua

Mother

Hanhua, how come you are like this?

Mother, I'm not a filial son. I'm not filial

It's no use just saying this

If you are obedient

...I want you to repent and be good

Come back with me

No, mother. I don't want to go back Please forgive

I'm in deep love with Sijia

I want to be with her

How can you upset Suxin till this moment?

I know it's not fair to Suxin

But, mother, I can't live without Sijia

But I know she left you already

How did you know? How?

She told us herself

She said she was singing at Sivercity Nightclub

Silvercity Nightclub?

She decided to stop seeing you

That shameless woman

Hanhua

She dumped me for other man

And she has to tell everyone. I'll kill her

He must be drunk. We must follow him

What are you doing here?

I came to take you home

Take me home? Didn't you receive my letter?

Sijia, I tried so hard looking for you

I can't live without you

I beg you. Please have sympathy on me

I hate you like this. You are useless

I already agreed

You can come out and sing also have a boyfriend

It's for real. I promise you everything

Sijia, come back with me

Stop the nonsense. I tell you...

I don't want to be with you no matter what

Come here. Sijia is in this room

But I've never seen Hanhua here

It couldn't be

Let me ask. Sijia

What are you doing?

If you aren't coming with me, I'll kill you

You can kill me but I won't go with you

I'll ask you for the last time Are you coming?

No, I am not

Open the door

Sijia, open the door

Open the door

Something happened. Go to get someone

Hurry

Hanhua, what's the matter?

Call the police

Sijia. She is dead. You killed her

Why did you kill her?

You are such a fool She is a kind-hearted girl

Why did you kill her? Hanhua

She left you for your good

She did it on purpose

She's afraid of ruining your future

You foolish kid

You know there is one more thing?

Why Sijia wanted to leave you?

Because she was afraid the Cyclops would kill you

You ungrateful son of a bitch
