Is it here yet?
Hey, don't be such a snoop!
Come on, Landie, let me have a look!
I'll let you see it tonight.
Come on, let me take a look now!
All right.
It's French lingerie!
- It's gorgeous! - Feel the texture!
So how are things with Wei Qing?
He says he's too poor right now.
Said he'll marry me as soon as he has made a name for himself.
Then you'll have to wait a while.
Let me see too!
What is this theatre like?
The structure is magnificent!
Our small troupe wouldn't have been able to afford it.
But a fire almost burnt it down ten years ago.
I heard a lot of people died too, including a famous actor.
Are you referring to Sung Danping?
That's right. That's him.
That Sung Danping was a big star at the time.
He produced many western plays that no Chinese has seen before.
Xian Ruan!
Xian Ruan, come over here!
You threw away my money on this ghastly place?
Who is in charge here?
I was told that the caretaker lives right here in the theatre.
What a shame to see such grand architecture in ruins!
I think we'd better wait outside.
And you! Go fetch me the caretaker now!
Landie! Come on!
Let's go.
I want to look around a little more. I'll be fine. You go on ahead.
I'll be right there.
Let me see! I want to see it!
Remember. You must come tonight!
Goodbye!
Help!
Help!!
Give me your hand.
I'm the caretaker, Ma. This is where you'll stay.
It's best not to roam around.
What's going on?
Nothing.
I live on the other side of the theatre.
Wei Qing.
Where's the chocolate I put in your pocket?
Chocolate? Let me take a look.
Take a seat first.
I heard singing in the theatre just now.
I also saw a beautiful woman running toward me.
What kind of candy were you talking about?
It's chocolate from America.
Do you want some?
Wei Qing, we've decided.
We're going to sneak out for a drink. Are you in?
No, thanks.
You just don't know how to relax.
He's got Landie. He has no use for us!
Never mind him then. Let's go.
Let me see! I want to see it!
Remember, you must come tonight.
You must know all about the strange incidents in this theatre.
I'm not leaving until you've told me everything!
Did you bring those chocolates from America?
Ten years ago, after I got out of prison,
no one would hire me, but Mr. Sung took me in.
From then on, I became his top servant.
Mr. Sung designed this whole theatre himself.
Designs like this were unheard of at the time.
Not until opening day did people grasp Mr. Sung's bold ideas
could build a theatre this grand,
and that plays could be so lavishly staged.
Back then, people from as far away as Tianjin, Shanghai,
and Nanjian all came to share in Mr. Sung's glory.
Every performance was a sell out.
The Romeo he played at the theatre he designed was true perfection.
Can't let go of your hand
May this moment never pass
The melody of love sings in my heart
May this night go on, go on...
His acting was both brilliant and bold.
Even girls, who were not allowed into theaters at the time,
came to see him.
That made the elder officials very angry.
Heavens be my witness to my love for you
Like winds in a tempestuous storm
With you in my arms again
Time shall stand still for us
Please do not utter it, please do not tell me
That our love will only last through the night
At that time,
all the young boys and girls adored and worshipped Mr. Sung.
But he only had eyes for one.
The daughter of the wealthy baron Du Fashan, Du Yuyan.
I feel the same way as you
When the sun is down and the stars are out
Heavens be my witness to my love for you
Like winds in a tempestuous storm
When I'm in your arms again
That's when time will stand still once more
Please do not utter it, please do not tell me
That our love will only last through the night
It brings such sadness when we are apart
Promise me
We'll grow old
Side by side
Let's go!
Come on!
Miss, we'll miss the tea ceremony. Let's go now!
We won't miss it. Just wait for me outside.
We can't afford to be late!
It's cold outside. Put this on and wait for me.
Miss!
- Hurry! Go! - Miss...
I've waited so long, even the moon is out now!
It's a starry night. Come with me!
Come.
It's beautiful!
Why did you wait till now to bring me here?
Do you know what today is?
It's a year from the day we met.
Have you ever brought other girls here?
Never.
Danping...
I'm afraid.
My father is bound to find out about us.
Nothing to be afraid of. I'll talk to him.
You don't know my father. He's very stubborn.
I'm afraid he'll...
Is it because I'm an actor?
Danping, will you always love me?
Until the end of time.
Hurry, Miss! We're going to be late!
Miss, get in.
Don't worry, we'll make it.
Let's go!
Hurry, Miss.
Put on your clothes, Miss.
Xiao Hua, is this the right one?
No, that's not it, Miss.
Today is the 15th. It should be the phoenix gown.
Then hurry!
Buy yourself a winter jacket tomorrow if you won't use mine.
Miss...
Go get the tea now. Do you really want to get a scolding?
Yes, Miss.
I've long heard that your daughter is willful and spoiled.
But my son insists that she is the only one for him.
So we've come to ask for her hand in marriage.
It is of great honor to us. We are very pleased indeed.
So, Governor Zhao...
Yes, consider your opening a factory in Yulian approved.
I feel so much better with Governor Zhao on my side.
We are honored to have our daughter be part of your family.
Old Master, Miss Yuyan is here to serve the evening tea.
Come on in.
She's coming! She's coming!
My respects to Father.
Where have you been? At the theatre again?
We have company today! Now greet our guests!
Good evening, Governor Zhao and Mr. Zhao.
Good... good.
May this tea bring Father a good night's rest.
We'll be holding a banquet tomorrow night.
You're not to go out.
Yes, Father.
Young people should always respect their parents' wishes.
They should not make their own decisions
and should always listen to their elders.
Governor Zhao has spoken well indeed.
Yuyan... Yuyan...
- This way please, Officer Lu. - Greetings, Master Du.
You are all here!
- Officer Lu. - Governor Zhao.
Thank you for honoring us with your presence, Officer Lu.
My pleasure.
I've heard an important announcement will be made tonight.
I wouldn't miss it for the world!
Yuyan.
Yuyan, be a good hostess.
Go, talk to Master Zhao.
Yuyan.
Now, about that scoundrel Sung Danping...
As Head of the Arts Bureau, can you do anything?
I'm way ahead of you.
The higher ups are all very unhappy with his amoral
and unorthodox ways.
He'll be disposed of very soon.
Excellent!
This unworthy son of mine is very interested in the arts.
Mr. Lu, perhaps you may have a position for him in your Bureau?
Are you cold?
He clearly shows tremendous promise!
Everyone,
the Zhao and Du families would like to take this opportunity
to have my son say a few words.
Stand up... Stand up!
I...
Actually, it's not a big deal. I wish to announce that...
What's wrong?
- My stomach really hurts! - What?
Miss, let me take you inside to rest.
I'm so sorry.
How is it? Do we need to call a doctor?
I'll be fine in a little while.
Then...
So much for my speech!
I've lost you forever now
On this night, the spell of love is broken
Lovers are separated for life
Fate does not cherish
What we hold dearest to our hearts
My heart is heavy as I watch your face
I have no strength to turn the tides of fate
The tears you shed,: How deeply I grieve
I cannot let go of my emotions
My endless yearning for you
Has my heart in pieces
All our love and our memories
Now I can only relive in my dreams
In this darkest night, please open your heart
Let me caress you with my tenderness
If fate does not cherish lovers
Then remember our passion
My heart is heavy as I watch your face
I have no strength to turn the tides of fate
The tears you shed,: How deeply I grieve
I cannot let go of my emotions
My endless yearning for you
Has my heart in pieces
All our love and our memories
Now I can only relive in my dreams
In this darkest night, please open your heart
Let me caress you with my tenderness
If fate does not cherish lovers
Then remember our passion
If it is fate that we must be apart
Then we'll die together
Stop the play! Stop the play! Stop!
Governor Zhao!
Mr. Zhao, is there any problem?
Who are you?
I'm the head of this troupe.
This doesn't concern you. Out of my way!
Yuyan! Yuyan!
Why did you pretend to have a stomachache? You lied to me!
Sung Danping, I want you off the stage now!
The play will not go on!
Gentlemen, I don't know what brought you here.
But you can see for yourself.
These people have all bought tickets to see the play.
I can't just walk out now, can I?
Calm down, everyone!
I'll refund you your money. Now go home!
Looks like your idea is not working.
Why don't we try something else?
Ladies and gentlemen, shall we carry on or not?
Carry on! Carry on!
You two! Get the hell out of here!
Get out! Get out!
Let's continue!
I thought the best part
was when we drove that idiot Zhao out of the theatre.
What is this?
You can't look!
I want to see it!
You can't. I won't let you!
Let me see! I want to see it!
- Catch me if you can! - Stop running!
Come get me!
Sung Danping, if you keep running, I'll marry that idiot Zhao!
The Yuyan I love will not do a silly thing like that.
The melody is beautiful!
Why'd you stop?
I've not finished composing it yet.
When I do, I'll sing the entire song for you.
And only for you.
Danping.
Promise me...
You'll sing for me on every full moon.
Xiao Hua?
Let me go! Let me go!!
Yuyan, stop it. It won't help you.
Your father has already agreed to the marriage.
The wedding is in three days.
Just forget about that Sung Danping.
Mother... Mother!
What about me? What about how I feel? Mother!!
Miss, your supper.
Here are the brush and ink you wanted.
Miss, you have to eat something! Otherwise you'll starve to death!
"Danping, I'm being forced to marry.
Meet me at ten tonight outside the theatre.
We'll elope. Yuyan."
Xiao Hua, promise me.
You'll deliver this to Danping yourself.
I'll be leaving tonight.
Tonight?
You have to help me.
Open up!
She didn't eat again?
You can have it.
I wouldn't dare!
Don't worry. No one has to know.
- Are you sure? - Absolutely!
Wait here. I'll get you some wine.
What a treat!
Wait. This one is for me.
Excuse me, is Mr. Sung here?
Can you tell me where he went?
I have a very important letter for him. I must give it to him myself.
Do you know when he'll be back?
Fine. I'll see make sure he gets it. Fans!
Thank you. Please hand it to him yourself!
"To: Mr. Sung Danping"
The carriage is ready.
Go!
Oh no, Miss Du has run away!
Miss, run! Run! Don't worry about me! Miss! Run!
Why can't you just let her go?
Stop all that screaming!
I want you to break her legs!
Yuyan, Yuyan, don't go.
Let me go, Mother! Forgive me!
Oh, Lord! Bring her back! What are you waiting for?
Go! Go after her!
Where is my horse??
LORD!!
Ma, where is the vial of poison?
I'll check on it.
"Dearest Mr. Sung Danping..."
Come in.
Who is it?
Mr. Sung.
The theatre is on fire! Sung Danping has died in the fire!
Mother! Please open the door! I beg you!!
Without any investigation,
the government ruled Mr. Sung's death as accidental.
But Du Yuyan's fate was far more tragic.
Miss, Mr. Sung has already died.
Please, can't you just forget about him?
Do you remember last Dragon Boat Festival?
How we sneaked out to play marbles?
And, Miss.
Do you remember the money you gave me?
I've bought myself a winter jacket! See?
Miss!
After you're married, I won't be able to look after you anymore.
Yuyan, in a little while, you'll say you love me.
Slut!
I'll kill you, you shameless whore! I'll kill you, bitch! I'll kill you!!
No blood?
Are you sure?
You moron!
Your daughter is not a virgin.
She's not fit to enter the Zhao family!
Please don't jump to conclusions so quickly!
Why don't we call them out to clear this up?
That's outrageous!
Let me tell you. My son never lies!
And to think Du is one of the most respected names in Peking!
You want to bring shame to your family, that's your business.
But don't you dare drag our good Zhao name
down the drain with yours!
This marriage is considered annulled!
And you might as well forget about your factory in Yulian!
Don't look back.
The Du family does not have a shameful daughter like her!
Soon after, the Du family moved south.
And the Zhaos also moved on to higher ranks in Shanghai.
Du Yuyan, alone and abandoned, finally went mad.
The loyal Xiao Hua worked odd jobs to
take care of her mistress in their deserted old home.
And on every full moon, Yuyan would return to the theatre
to wait for Sung Danping to come back, and take her away.
For ten years, many said they've heard sad music
coming from here around midnight.
And so they said this place is haunted.
Young man, my story is finished. Now run along.
It was fate that brought you here to this theatre
and let you see what you saw.
I want to be like Sung Danping. I want to be famous!
Thank you... Thank you.
- Hurry! Move it!
Come on! What are you afraid of?
Flaming blood surging through my veins
Like currents of the river, and tides of the sea
Pounding in my heart
Let's all take a short break!
Hey, who's going to help me with the dishes?
Flaming blood surging through my veins
Like currents of the river, and tides of the sea
Pounding in my heart
Manager, more rehearsals won't help us!
I know Sung Danping wouldn't have picked this music.
Wei Qing, what are you talking about?
Sung Danping this, Sung Danping that.
Take a look at yourself! You're no Sung Danping!
What's the matter with you??
What? You want a fight?
Wei Qing... Wei Qing!
Come see our new musical, "Flaming Blood",
by the Sprouts Troupe! Here's one for you.
Flaming blood surging through my veins
Like currents of the river, and tides of the sea
Pounding in my heart
Our national shame runs deep,: The war is going strong
I'm calling my fellow countrymen The country's fate is in our hands
What a complete waste of my money! Let's go!
It was nothing like Sung Danping's musicals.
It made no sense at all! What a rip-off!
Just say I'm not here! Remember. I'm not here!
Gentlemen... Gentlemen...
You're four weeks behind on your rent!
And I can't seem to find your cashier.
We're having some difficulties right now.
We need to eat too.
Everyone in town knows that your play is a loser.
But the rent here is already dirt-cheap.
We'll think of something, we will.
Please give us another ten days, alright?
One week!
One week it is. Thank you so much.
- Come on out. - Are they gone?
What do we do now?
What do we do? I'm all out of ideas!
Boss, here's how I see it. Two more shows,
then we'll just pack up and take off.
What kind of a plan is that?
But, for the lack of a better one, that may be our only choice.
Now let's put our heads together and come up with some new ideas
to attract audience and get us over this hurdle.
That's it. I'd better write my mother
and have her pick me up at the station.
We might as well forget this. I say tomorrow bright and early,
we go out and look for jobs to support us.
I really don't want to leave Beijing... all the beautiful ladies...
Don't you all go! Don't go! I believe there's still hope!
Come on. Go on to bed early.
Flaming blood surging through my veins
Like currents of the river and tides of the sea
Pounding in my heart
Our national shame runs deep, the war is going strong...
Who's there?
You're...
I am Sung Danping.
I thought you were killed in the fire!
My well being is not your concern!
I've been listening to your singing these past few days.
You're not bad.
So... do you want to be famous?
I... I only want to rescue our troupe.
Don't pretend to be so noble!
Do you or don't you want to be famous?
I do... I do.
Then do this play.
However, this is strictly between you and me.
Don't tell a soul.
Now go.
"Romeo and Juliet"? This is a good play indeed.
But who will play Romeo?
I will.
You?
Give me five days. It's not like we have a choice anyway.
Do we have enough to cover the expenses?
Just barely.
My heart is heavy as I watch your face
I have no strength to turn the tides of fate
The tears you shed,: How deeply I grieve
I cannot let go of my emotions
My endless yearning for you
Has my heart in pieces
All our love and our memories
Now I can only relive in my dreams
Mr. Sung, I just can't seem to reach this high note.
You're fine. Now go on downstairs.
We're not practicing anymore?
Your troupe is packing up already.
Come on, Wei Qing. I've already packed for you.
- Stop! Don't load the bags!
Can you come over here?
What are you doing??
Didn't you promise me you'd give me a try?
We don't have time for that now!
But you've promised me, Guan!
Forget it. There's no way!
I beg you. Please give me one chance.
Let me sing.
The tears you shed,: How deeply I grieve
I cannot let go of my emotions
My endless yearning for you
Has my heart in pieces
All our love and our memories
Now I can only relive in my...
Manager, how about it?
It's good. It's great!
He really sounds like the Sung Danping of yesteryear.
We'll do it! We'll place all our bets on this one!
"The rebirth of Sung Danping"
He is the next Sung Danping?! Can it be?
Anything less, we'll ask for our money back!
Come on, Romeo. It's almost time!
Don't be nervous. We will succeed!
Come on. Get changed.
All right!
My heart is heavy as I watch your face
I have no strength to turn the tides of fate
The tears you shed,: How deeply I grieve
I cannot let go of my emotions
He's really sounding more and more like Sung Danping!
Yes, yes...
All our love and our memories
Now I can only relive in my dreams
In this darkest night, please open your heart
Let me caress you with my tenderness
If fate does not cherish lovers
Then remember our passion
If it is fate that we must be apart
Then we'll die together
Mr. Sung. Mr. Sung! Thanks for saving my life out there!
Thank you so much!
The applause was so enthusiastic!
That was to be expected.
Remember, tomorrow night at ten. Wait for me on stage.
I'll work on the high notes. Goodbye, Mr. Sung.
Chief Zhao, our troupe may be small, but we have a lot of potential.
Our members are young and talented.
Since you've embarked on this cultural inspection tour,
we hope you'll consider us for some financial support.
Thank you, Chief Zhao. I've had enough, thank you.
You, go sit over there.
Get up!
Move!
- Waiter! - Yes, Sir.
Get me sixty steamed buns for her!
Yes, Sir. Sixty steamed buns coming up!
Chief Zhao, here they come.
Now watch her. Make sure she eats them all.
Every last one!
Greetings, Chief Zhao.
Eat up!
You imitate Sung Danping pretty well.
Yes, yes.
I did no imitation. That was my own interpretation.
Wei Qing, you did sound exactly like Sung Danping!
Chief Zhao is absolutely right.
Right, right.
Wei Qing, why don't you sing something for us?
Chief Zhao may give you some pointers.
I'm not a geisha. I won't do it.
Wei Qing!
Wei Qing, don't be like that.
I'm late for an appointment. Goodbye.
How about you then?
Mr. Sung! Mr. Sung!
Mr. Sung, I'm here! Mr. Sung!
I've lost you forever now
On this night, the spell of love is broken
Lovers are separated for life
Fate does not cherish
What we hold dearest to our hearts
My heart is heavy as I watch your face
I have no strength to turn the tides of fate
The tears you shed,: How deeply I grieve
I cannot let go of my emotions
My endless yearning for you
Has my heart in pieces
All our love and our memories
Now I can only relive in my dreams
Bravo! Bravo!
Do you think I imitate Sung Danping?
Of course not, Danping.
Du... Du Yuyan?
So many people stood in the rain just to see your performance.
They simply adore you.
Miss, can we go home now?
Is it time for the evening tea already?
I'll come see you again.
So it was all a trade off!
You taught me to be Romeo, so I could play the part of you!
It was incredible! You were excellent just now.
Clearly, she has taken you for me.
You're missing just a little bit of feeling.
I have not seen her this happy in the last ten years.
I've finally found you!
Since you're not dead, why don't you go see her yourself?
I won't do this anymore!
If you renege on your promise, I will kill you!
You're as mad as that woman!
You don't need me! You need a doctor!!
No doctor could help me now.
There was a time when I thought I was the luckiest man on earth.
I had my music, my theatre and my one true love.
Until the night of the fire...
Mr. Sung.
It was Ma who risked his life to pull me out of the inferno.
How is it? Ma?
Stop crying and speak to me! Speak to me!!
I had considered suicide.
But for Yuyan, I just couldn't do it.
Because on every full moon,
she would come to the theatre to hear me sing.
Only my songs could comfort her.
What else could I have done? What else can I do?
What CAN I do?
Mr. Sung, you've a lot on your mind today.
I'll leave you alone. We'll talk another time.
Stay right there!
Look! Look at me! How can I face her?
I beg you. Stand in for me just one more time.
But... what should I do?
Give this letter to Yuyan.
Yuyan.
Danping!
I'm almost packed.
I... I have a letter for you.
Come on in.
Have a seat.
Your letter.
Open it. Read it to me.
Open it? All right.
I'm sure it's very poetic.
Come on! I'm dying to hear it.
O... okay.
"In haste, these ten years have passed.
Thinking of you, and all that's been.
Tonight, my love, we will be together."
That's beautiful! I'll put it away.
Let's go.
I forgot to buy some lipstick!
- Come with me. - I...
Danping.
She's calling Sung Danping again.
That crazy woman. Her husband left her,
and she's still calling Sung Danping's name.
Look, isn't that the big star, Wei Qing?
Who's that woman with him?
It's that crazy woman.
- It's French perfume! - Boss, do you carry lipsticks?
- Miss... Miss... - Boss, do you have lipsticks?
Danping will pay for me.
- Danping! Danping! - Miss Du, it's all right. It's on me.
You don't need to pay me.
Danping will pay for me.
Danping, come pay for me! Danping!
Come pay for me!
It's my gift to you. Take it.
Take a look. Do you like it?
Danping...
Stop the car!
Danping, come and pay for me.
Who are you? What are you doing?
You bitch! You stinking whore!
You stinking slut!
I've had her ten years ago!
Look at what a wreck she is now! You horny, shameless slut!
She had an affair; she slept with that bastard Sung Danping!
Listen, you all! Leave this whore to rot!
Danping...
Make way!
Danping... I'll come see your play tonight.
All right.
I thought you only came when the moon is full.
Remember, meet me at our usual spot.
Miss... Miss!
Why did you run around again?
She's asleep.
What's with you?
You gold digger! Why don't you go to your Chief Zhao?
Stop!
It was the Manager who begged me to dine with him.
Then who was that woman you were carrying?
I didn't know her. I had to help when I saw injustice.
I have done nothing wrong.
Wei Qing!
Leave me alone! I have an appointment.
Don't just stand there. Come over here.
Come on!
Danping, kiss me.
Miss Du, I'm not really...
You're not Danping! You're not Danping!!
Miss Du!
Miss Du! Miss Du!
Sir, I beg you, please.
Don't hurt my mistress anymore. Please!
Miss!
I asked you to stand in for me. I didn't ask you to do it so well!
Would you please wake up?
You asked me to be you.
Do you think this proves that you love her?
You're fooling yourself, and you're lying to her!
GET OUT!
Sung Danping, you're too selfish! You don't love anyone but yourself!
If you really can't stand your face, why don't you just kill yourself?
Wei Qing! Stop!
What has gotten into you these last two days?
I've had it!
I'm not doing any "Romeo and Juliet" anymore!
But tomorrow's performance is very important to us.
Many officials will be here.
Then you'll have plenty of chances to sleep around!
Danping.
You've finally come back to me.
Danping!
Danping, please don't go!
Danping, Danping! Wait for me! Danping!
It's me, Yuyan! Danping! Please don't go.
Danping, are you really leaving me?
YUYAN!
Get out!
Romeo, go die for your Juliet then!
Miss Du!
A life for a life!
What do we do now? Wei Qing is still not here,
and the audiences are getting restless!
Manager... Manager.
I'm so sorry.
Wei Qing and I had a big fight yesterday.
I don't think he'll be back.
Tonight's performance is crucial to us!
The place is packed with high officials.
How am I going to explain?
Hey, Wei Qing's back!
Thank God! What took you so long?
Wei Qing, what's happened to your face?
So much has happened yesterday.
I don't even know how to explain.
I'm sorry.
Hand over the suspect, Wei Qing.
Anyone who interferes will be shot!
I haven't done anything! On what charges are you arresting me?
You murdered my son!
You will have to pay with your life!
I didn't do it!
No? Then who did it?
I did.
Do not be afraid, everyone. I am Sung Danping.
Some of you may recall the fire here ten years ago.
That was no accident.
It was arson committed by Governor Zhao and his son!
To sabotage my love for Du Yuyan, they orchestrated the evil plan.
For the past ten years,
I could not bring myself to face Yuyan.
As for Yuyan, she went mad.
From then on,
it was a fate worse than death for both of us.
I never imagined that ten years later,
you would do it all over again to Wei Qing and Landie,
and almost create another tragedy.
I can no longer keep my silence.
Everyone!
The real murderers are Zhao and his son!
Dad!
My son! Let him down!
It was all your doing! I had nothing to do with it!
Please just admit it!
Shut up, you moron! What nonsense!
Just confess!
Commander Lu, you wouldn't harbor murderers, would you?
Calm down, everyone!
You have my word. As officer of the law, I will uphold it.
Take him away!
You ungrateful bastard!
- Who made you Commander? - Take him away!
Danping? Is that you?
Yes, it's me.
You've finally come back to me. I know you're not dead.
I'm so sorry!
Hush... Don't say that.
But... I'm afraid I can't see you anymore.
You'll get better.
From now on, I'll be with you always.
Always and forever.
- Really? - Yes.
What are you looking for?
Have you finished the song you were writing for me?
Yes, I have.
Sing it for me.
Only at midnight
Could our spirits be free
Turning my tender kisses on your lips
At the chimes of midnight, my kisses will
Turn into songs and touch your deepest soul
I wish upon the moon I wish upon the stars
If it takes a lifetime I'll be waiting for you
I know that one day My wish will come true
Forever always, you and me
