Hongkong nights are uniquely beautiful
Brilliant neon lights
Add glamour to the foggy night
Hongkong is a lovers' paradise
Love like mist, covers blemishes
Evening breeze ripples the sea
Lovers around on Rendezvous Path
Tiny stars cast curious glances
May happiness be with you always
Manager Yueh!
What do you think of sisters' dance?
They're talented and pretty
Otherwise
who'd be here
watching the old magician!
Is this your new composition?
It's great! Terrific!
Evening breeze ripples the sea
Lovers around on Rendezvous Path
Tiny stars cast curious glances
May happiness be with you always
I am the spring sun
I emit warm and brilliant rays
I am the moon, soft and tender
I dream of my lover every night
Twinkling stars k their charming eyes
They shine over Hongkong each night
The moon creeps up to the sky
the stars are busily watching
The sun lingers on at twilight
The glow of sunset brightens the sky
Moon, stars, and sun sing as one
Hongkong nights are uniquely beautiful
Brilliant neon lights
Add glamour to the foggy night
Hongkong is a lovers' paradise
Love like mist, covers blemishes
Evening breeze ripples the sea
Lovers around on Rendezvous Path
Tiny stars cast curious glances
May happiness be with you always
Uncle Chia
Did you hear me?
All the clapping
is from my patrons
They're applauding us!
Another new song!
Where is the other copy?
This is not for you
Come in, please
Yes, who's speaking?
Sure, hold the line, please
You're wanted on the phone, Mr. Chia
Sweetheart! Darling!
May I have the money now?
Don't worry
I'll have the money soon
Just go back and wait for me
No, meet me at the Pearl Club!
The Pearl Club?
Yes
There's an A-go-go contest on
I need you as my partner
But it's for teenagers!
I...
Aren't you my little pet?
All right, I'm coming over!
Behave yourself!
There are many teddy boys around
What are you doing, old wolf?
I must talk to you,
Manager Yueh!
That old playboy!
Hsiao Hua, work on him hard!
Sure, let's dance now!
Here's your salary for this month
Your advance for next month
One third of it is yours
What?
Two third goes to your 3 daughters
Do I get just one third?
The patrons like your daughters,
not you
Let me tell you frankly
Your daughters have spoken to me,
and asked me to give you the money
Don't you dare spend,
...their wages
or you'll end up in trouble!
They won't go against me
I raised all three of them!
It's such a pleasant tune!
It is, indeed
Thank you!
The Pearl Club will hold
an A-go-go contest tonight
The band leader is my friend
He promised to play me this number
Shall we join them there?
A good idea!
I don't much care for the dance
but it should be fun
at the club
We'll join the contest, too
Fine, let's do that
Swell idea! Shall we go?
I won't go
I've got a date tonight
Mr. Lin again?
You always complain that our fun
is interrupted by daddy's work
This is a great chance for us
to enjoy an evening on our own
Mr. Chen Tze-ching is a composer too
All right, we'll do that
I'll ask Mr. Lin to meet us at the club
Deliver this to Mr. Lin
at table No. 10
It's our pay day, Ting Ting!
Let's see the manager about it
Daddy's drawn our wages in the past
So I asked the boss not to pay him
this time
I'd like to dance through the night
Tsui Tsui!
Mr. Chen and the band leader
will start
a dance troupe. Why not join them?
I won't be able to
Mr. Lin will make me
a movie star
He knows quite a few producers and directors
He said after I went to Japan he'd...
Daddy's taken the money again!
He even drew an advance
What?
He's disappeared with the money
He had a phone call,
didn't he?
Must be from that woman again
We can't let him get away with it
Here he comes!
Get working on him!
Just leave it to me
Hi darling! Let's dance!
Come on!
How can I?
Where's the money?
Here with me
You're marvellous
I really can't keep up with it!
I want to join the A-go-go contest
You may go now if you wish
Come on! Let's go!
Where's our money, papa?
She's taken it again
She's fooling you!
I've never fooled him!
What if I happen to love him?
My brother and I will join the contest
Darling, cheer for us will you!
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Attention, please!
The A-go-go contest
will start now
You are all welcome to enter
The winning team
will receive $3,000
Papa!
I must see you after the contest
You'll win, Ting Ting!
Tze-ching, you're just in time
Sit down, Mr. Chia!
Have you a new number?
I'm still working on it!
Their act is a great attraction
Many have come just for the dance
No, they came to see me
Is that so!
Keep it up! You'll make it!
I've spent a fortune on her
The tiny bird with fragile wings
suddenly plunges in flames
Like one blindly in love
who finds thrills in danger
A go-go, A go-go
A go-go, A go-go!
Let's dance to our hearts' content
Forget all past worries
Let's begin our lives anew
I wish to become a fire bird
Soaring endlessly into the sky
Flames symbolise the light
I must approach them at any cost
A go-go, A go-go
A go-go, A go-go!
Quiet, everybody!
The competition is over
These three sisters are the winners
Congratulations!
We'll go before they spot us
Let's toast to their victory!
We thank you all!
There'll be more
TV dance programmes
That's why we're setting up a troupe
We have a composer
a dance director
and a band leader
We've got everything but dancers
After seeing your performance
we feel you're what we want
Soon as Mr. Chen
has finished a number
we'll begin rehearsals
I'll try to speed up my work
What do you all think?
I'll join
But I'd like to learn ballet!
That's fine!
With our new company
we'll need all kinds of dances
Count me in, then!
Good!
This celebration dinner
marks our new troupe
Well, shall we call it the
HongKong Song and Dance Troupe?
How about it, everybody?
It sounds good!
Let's drink to it!
Bottoms up!
If you go to Japan with me
I guarantee I'll make you a star
But I can't leave my sisters behind
They aren't kids any more!
They are quite mature now
They ought to get married
Once we arrive in Japan,
I'll...
Marry me?
Yes!
Tsui! Tsui!
It's so beautiful!
Woman, woman, woman!
Beauty is what she treasures
Man melts at her sight
Money is what she prizes
She's a masterpiece of creation
She's the devil incarnate
She can make you die gladly
Die without knowing why
Woman, woman, woman!
She bathes in champagne
Her figure is priceless
Men exhaust their wits to please her
Men sacrifice all for her kisses
The world is hers forever!
Little darling, where's the money?
Money? That's easy!...
You're simply marvellous!
That's all you have?!
It's just three thousand dollars!
But you promised me
ten thousand
Where can I get that much so soon!
I'll give you more later
Don't lie any more, darling!
Darling!
What?
She's dying? I'll be there!
My aunt's dying
She must see me right away
Aunt?...That's strange!
Your last call said
the same thing
Is your aunt dying again?
The other one was my uncle's sister
This one is my mother's
You must wait for me!
Uncle's sister? Mother's sister?
How can you go out like this?
I won't remove my overcoat
Bye-bye darling!
I'll be back
Don't keep me waiting!
We're still young
and your aunt won't be,
able to live forever anyway!
I know. Bye, bye!
Have you got it?
Only three thousand
No more?
Don't remove my clothes
I promised him I'd be back
Keep him waiting!
Just as I thought
Seems papa and sister aren't back
Thanks for a lovely evening
See you tomorrow!
Till then!
Chuen Chuen!
I'd like to have a word with you
You two go up the roof,
it's cooler there
What's on your mind?
You already know it
My parents are against,
the idea of song composing
Recently...
I've been full of confidence
to create a new genre of song-dance number
highlighting the beautiful Hongkong nights
As it is you're quite talented
Confidence is just what you need to succeed
Thanks a lot
But at times... I feel quite lonely
and would prefer to get married
Because...! mean, one's got to settle down in life
Anyone in mind?
My sister?
You guessed it
Give this to her
Love is wonderful
When I gaze at the stars
I imagine they're pearls of love
and may fall into my hands
I've put so much into the song. It's taken up...
much hard work and efforts
Will you tell her what I said?
Do that, won't you?
Why not do it yourself?
I don't know why I can't
I'm tongue-tied every time
I see her
I need your help badly
I don't know what papa will say
He's adamantly opposed to our marriage
I understand how he feels, but...
My younger sister is another problem
Seems almost everything is wrong
If Tsui Tsui agrees
I'll have a talk with your father
All right
I'll try
and sound my sister out
Thank you!
I'll be most grateful
Let's hope for the best
I'd like to remain.
You go ahead
See you tomorrow
Is papa back yet?
No
You wish to learn ballet?
Yes, I do
Who are you?
Wang Ming. I moved in 3 days ago
I'm a ballet student too
Where do you have your lessons?
At the New-Life Ballet School
That's run by Mr. Yen Fang
Correct
I'm eager to start
Is tuition expensive?
Yes, that's why I must work
Maybe I can take ballet lessons too
They're all eager and ambitious
Chen Tze-ching
enjoys working with you
Why?
Because he likes you
He hopes to marry you someday
Why doesn't he tell me so himself?
He says he's tongue-tied when he sees you
He's responsible
and I admire him
But I can't do without luxury
I'm fond of him all right
But everyone has a own life-style
And we're so different
We won't be happy together
Chen Tze-ching asked to hand you this
He composed it specially for you
For me?
It's paradise, it's dreamland!
As I look at the heavenly dome
Stars twinkle in the dark night
They seem entwined in a net of love
I've decided to take up ballet
I'll study daytime and work nights
Stop babbling!
Sit down!
This is Miss Chia speaking!
What? Golden Carriage Club?
Hold the line, please
Have we a contract with
#NAME?
No
Only with the Capitol
Hasn't papa drawn next month's pay already?
Mr. Chia's out and we know nothing
That's right
I'll ask him to call you when he returns
I'm sorry!
That man said
we've a contract
with Golden Carriage Club
and we've drawn three months' pay!
What!
He said
papa took the money
He was upset,
he wanted us to rehearse
Papa didn't know about it!
What could he've done with the money!
Given it all to that woman of course
I can't stand it anymore!
Papa!
How dare you talk about me
like that?
You need money,
don't you?
Aren't you satisfied?
I can no longer perform
We don't want pocket money but salary
You want pay?
You don't know what you're saying
We don't, huh?
If we didn't dance
who'd pay to see your poor act!
I'm the king of magicians
You're only my assistants,
understand?
Golden Carriage Club just rang
How can you draw pay from both sides?
What are you up to anyway?
We can put on two shows a day
...and more if need be.
Where's the money?
Money?
Don't I have to pay for this?
Does it cost nothing?
Bread, milk, butter, is it all free?
Can you get them without paying?
Money, money...what do you mean?
Don't pretend
You gave it to that gold-digger
Shut up and behave!
Mind what you say!
Papa, please be reasonable
Very well, I love Hsiao Hua!
But we are only friends!
Weren't you with her last night?
She hasn't returned yet
She fooled you all right
Her aunt was dying, she said
She lied
I can't stay with papa any longer
I'm leaving you
Leaving? Where for?
I'm getting married
What?
To whom?
Chen Tze-ching?
I'm going to Japan with Lin Kao-kwei
I won't permit it
I don't care!
I'm your father
So what?
I can't work for you
all my life
What's that?
Did I ever force you to?
Ever since your mother died
I've done my best
to raise you all
Now that I'm getting old, what's wrong,
...if I have some fun?
You're enjoying life too much
Now I know what you're really like
I don't want a daughter like you
I still have Ting Ting
and Chuen Chuen
I am not sorry to lose you
Go and find your man!
I also want to leave
Me too
What?
Chuen Chuen, Ting Ting, Tsui Tsui
Leaving home and marriage
aren't the same
Think it over carefully
That man Lin can't be trusted
Why don't we grab this chance
to work with Chen Tze-ching?
Slowly sails the wedding boat
into the vast blue sea
Seagulls always fly in pairs
They hover over the craft
For love I ceased wandering
I must move ahead with the boat
No one knows the future
Worry not if it's heaven or hell
Waves start rolling
They rock the boat violently
Not even typhoons can deter me
I must advance boldly
Let us sing together
Let us sing to our hearts' content
I wish you bon voyage
May you enjoy all happiness!
Ting Ting, I want you to stay home
No, papa,
I'll study ballet
and look you up
when I find a job
You won't walk out on me
I have to join
Chen Tze-ching's troupe
Take care of yourself, papa
Chuen Chuen!
So you are all against me!
But I'm still the best magician!
I don't care if you all go away
Chuen Chuen!
Papa, I've returned
We agreed to leave at the same time
but I've changed my mind
You're a good girl!
You must be very lonely without us
I've decided not to join Chen's troupe
I thought you liked Chen very much
Let's forget about him
He prefers Tsui Tsui!
You shouldn't have brought me here
I watch the setting sun
sink slowly behind the hill
Only the crescent moon remains
Patiently she awaits her lover
Tiny stars have gone to sleep
They've forgotten the night's still young
Alone I shine in all directions
Loneliness makes me dream
The sun won't keep me company
The stars don't care to watch me
How terribly frustrated I am!
Chia Szu-chen!
You shouldn't have curtailed your act
I know you also perform elsewhere
I couldn't make enough in one place
Your three girls should have appeared
Now you are the only one here
Who will patronize us in future?
I've got an idea
Why don't I make her sing!
You want to see the greatest show?
I know you only too well!
Let me tell you...
What?
In that case you don't need 3 persons
Just get Chuen Chuen here!
I'll try
Manager!
Don't you know the time?
Sorry, the traffic was heavy
We know we're late
You've been performing
at two places
What does it mean?
Hongkong is so small
Nightclub patrons aren't that many
They're giving me a hard time
You know what...
You've broken our contract
Pay me back the advance!
Please overlook it this time
I'll quit my other job next month
I won't perform anywhere else
Two of your girls are gone
There's no point retaining you
Very well!
You're asking for trouble
But he seemed
to like the idea
What idea?
I need your help!
What!
I'm desperate, Chuen Chuen!
Only you can save me
But you want me to...
How can I do a thing like that?
Loneliness makes me dream
The sun won't keep me company
The stars don't care to watch me
How terribly frustrated I am!
Attention, please
This charming girl
will enter this trunk
and step out nude!
This young lady and I
are giving our first such performance!
Music!
Your attention please!
The patrons are waiting,
Chuen Chuen!
Just remove your dress,
that's all
Hurry up!
You expect me to strip...
But papa...
This is your last show here
Manager, please...!
I'll make her undress!
You aren't a magician but an imposter!
We can get on without you!
Well...well...
We are finished,
Chuen Chuen!
You've ruined the whole thing
You drive me mad!
You're ruining your daughter!
Tze Ching!
I was worried about Chuen Chuen
and intended to look-out for her
What a father!
Unbelievable!
Come...let's go!
What are you trying to do, kidnap her?
You're not fit to be her father
Who do you think you are?
I know what I'm doing
What are you up to?
I want to marry her!
You?...No...
Why not?
Go home and get your things
But...
Let your father consider it
Let's go!
Chuen Chuen!
You won't leave me, will you?
Tze Ching, don't take her away
Chuen Chuen!
Just look at yourself, Chuen Chuen!
Hey...
Ting Ting Chuen Chuen
Whafre your plans?
Moving into the ballet school
New Life Ballet School?
This is Mr. Wing Ming!
He lets me work at the school
I can take free lessons
Good for you, Chuen is also moving out
Where to?
For time-being she'd just be putting up with me
What you said in front of papa
makes me very grateful
Let's not continue the joke
I must talk to you
We'll go upstairs
My sister likes you a lot
but you two are so different
Love and fascination
aren't the same
Now I realise
I've long been in love with a girl
She dances wonderfully
and she's interested in my career
I hope...
she'll become my wife
Chuen Chuen, I love you!
Will you marry me?
Marry you?...l
I love you, too
It's paradise, it's dreamland!
As I look at the heavenly dome
Stars twinkle in the dark night
They seem entwined in a net of love
Roses blossom in profusion
Nightingale sings a melody
Every note of the song
echoes the sound of my heart
Whether it's dark or bright
morning or night
I always feel you near me
We cling to each other tightly
What a wonderful night!
Let's dance some more!
Come!
Hi Darling!
Mind lending her to me?
To you?
I've warned you not to
get mixed up with him
But you simply wouldn't listen!
Clear out!
This is my apartment,
you get out!
What?
How much have I spent on you?
Yet you...
I haven't received a cent from you lately
You can't even keep your daughters
You've run out of money
and we are through
So you are swindlers!
You're a crook yourself!
I sell my youth and beauty
I live on my charms
What's wrong with that?
Let me tell you frankly,
...old man
It's expensive to play
around with me
Understand?
What are you trying to do?
You've cheated me!
When will you show me
the restaurant?
It's being decorated
I've arranged for the film director
to see you at three
What about you?
I'll be busy then
I have everything fixed
It's been taken care of
You have?
Don't be late!
I've run out of money
Can you let me have some?
I'll repay you tonight
Here you are
I'll take this along
Ver well then, look me up
Where shall we have the ceremony?
Ceremony?
I mean the wedding ceremony!
We'll discuss it later
See you then, bye bye!
Don't be late!
Sit down! Sit down!
Miss Tsui Tsui!
Are you the Japanese director?
Yes. Do sit down!
You're beautiful!
Thank you. I can also sing and dance
You'll be a film star!
Screen test?
What screen test?
Which dress should I wear?
No dress required
Western dress
or cheongsam...
No dress!
No clothes at all?!
Quiet, please!
Good market in Southeast Asia!
Is it in 16 millimeter?
No, 8 millimeter
I definitely won't agree
I have a contract with me
But it's not my handwriting!
I've already paid Mr. Lin!
You what?
Have you Lin's phone number?
No one knows his address
Oh, somewhere around,
Doesn't he own a big restaurant?
No, he procured bar girls
Quite a few for his tricks
He used a fake diamond to fool them
That's how he worked
He'll never return!
Wouldn't you like to be my girl?
Why, you're even worse than my father!
All my money's gone!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!
2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!
3, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!
4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!
Ting Ting!
Morning!
Teacher Yen will be here soon!
I know
That'll do. Go and practise
Let me mop the floor first
You're such a nice girl
Excuse me!
Good morning!
Mr. Yen!
This is Miss Chia Ting-ting
She sort of works and learns
Mr. Yen!
Get dressed, hurry up!
one, two, three, four
two, two, three, four
three, two, three, four
four, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
two, two, three, four
three, two, three, four
four, two, three, four
The leg isn't straight enough!
one, two, three, four
two, two, three, four
three, two, three, four
Step right in!
four, two, three, four
Lift it higher!
No, no, it's all wrong!
You've taken up too many wrong steps
You oughtta take up dancing again
That's right
It's wrong again
You're too mechanical!
You must dance with feeling
A pretty form isn't enough
Teacher Chao! Teacher Hu!
You're wasting time!
Try again!
one, two, three, four
two, two, three, four
three, two, three, four
Daddy, mummy!
Please wait a moment
I am sorry for last time
No, we were to blame
It was Tze Ching's fault
He brought you home so suddenly
and told us you were getting married
We disagreed because it was too sudden
We regret what we did
I want you to know
I accepted his proposal
because I was eager to see him succeed
I am sure he needs my help more
than anybody else's
That's wonderful!
Since you love each other so
we gladly give you our consent
But...
I hope he'll be back to help me
I'd like you to quit dancing
You're married to my son
I can't let you dance
for a living!
Would you ask him not to make
music his career?
Would you?
No!
Why not?
Because music is his life
You'll waste his talents, daddy!
We didn't come for a lecture
I won't give up dancing either
Because dancing is my everything
We've just started a dance troupe
We are confident of its future
It holds a great meaning for us
So you reject our advice!
Sorry
Now you believe I was right
Tze Ching is under her control!
How can you say that?
Don't try to argue
It's for the sake of our son
that we've come here
Must you be so selfish!
It's no use talking to her
She and I will never get along
As the daughter of a showman
she'll never make a good housewife
Yes, I'm a magician's daughter
and a professional dancer
but I am proud of my work!
My apologies
You!...
Chuen Chuen!
Congratulations!
Since when have you become shy!
Mr. Shen!
Why have you returned, Chuen Chuen?
I'm looking for my father
He moved out a few days ago
They say the landlord evicted him
Really?
Yes,
He left a few things behind
How could your family break up
like this?
Look after yourself!
Thank you!
Chuen Chuen!
You...
It must be my mother again
That could be the cause
She isn't understanding
There's nothing we can do
Don't let her get on your nerves
But you've sacrificed so much for me
You and music are all I care for
Chuen Chuen!
I thought of my father
so I came back to see him
We've tried really hard
to invite friends here
Our own folks have left
Never mind that
Let your father handle the wedding
But he's moved out
I've got an idea
Let's go up to the roof, let the stars
and neon lights
be our witnesses
How does that sound to you?
Good!
But look at my dress!
It doesn't matter
Wait, I have some clothes here
We now invite you
to attend our wedding
Lights and stars
we invite you
to be our witnesses
We are married
in your presence
Won't you regret
the tough life ahead?
I won't!
Would you?
Never!
Such a lovely and memorable wedding
with such a beautiful bride
I must be the luckiest man on earth
Tze Ching!
Don't cry! Please don't!
You cry when you're sad
and when you're happy! Women!
Too bad there won't be a wedding party
Who said so? Look, they're coming!
Congratulations!
Papa!
Papa, papa!
Tsui Tsui!
Ting Ting!
Don't cry!
Are you married?
No, because all men are faithless
Papa is much better than any of them
I miss you all!
That hypocritical ballet teacher!
I miss papa so much...
He seems to have moved out
He can't go on without us
Who's having a wedding here?
I'm hoping to be married to Tze Ching
What? It won't work...
Why?
Quiet, please!
Mr. Chen and Miss Chia of our troupe
were married a while ago
Let us wish them
all happiness
Thank you
Through our singing and dancing
We entertain others
yet we scarcely keep ourselves happy
and our lives can be very arduous
We hope therefore
we will work even harder
to overcome difficulties
There's no other way to realize our wishes
Hear! Hear!
Dance!
Sing!
Dance!
Sing!
Dance!
Sing!
The moon isn't always this bright
Nor all wild flowers this fragrant
Things have changed
We can also sing and dance
Sing and dance! Dance and sing!
Life is meant for enjoyment
Sing when you are lonely
Songs can gladden your heart
Songs can dispel sorrow
Even when your woes are great
Tears are bitter-sweet
Everyone has his heart's desire
They were married
two weeks ago
May all wishes be fulfilled
So that's it!
Hold your head high and strive on
Let no barriers stop your advance
New dancers and singers must arise
Let the world ring with music
Tsui Tsui
The moon isn't always this bright
Nor all wild flowers this fragrant
Things have changed
We can also sing and dance
Dance gracefully and sing well
Life is meant for enjoyment
Sing when you are lonely
I'll wish them
all the best
Tsui Tsui!
Ting Ting!
Keep on practising
Tsui Tsui!
I must not fail!
How can Kuo Man Na play the lead?
Is she?
In comparison
Ting Ting dances much better
That's what I think
For this the reason could be that
Maybe Kuo Man Na is influential
Never mind,
I hope to practise harder
Sorry to have troubled you
Woman, woman, woman!
Beauty is what she treasures
Man melts at her sight
Woman,
Money is what she prizes
Woman! From the creator,
She's a masterpiece of creation
She's the devil incarnate
No, I won't go!
Pedicab!
Where is this?
Why have you brought me here?
Let me go!
Take it easy!
So you want to have me, too!
That's your motive, isn't it!
All men are alike!
All right, I'll give in to you
What are you doing? I'm dizzy!
What's the idea?
You rest for a while
When you awake, see me at White Orchid!
What White Orchid?
White Orchid Nightclu You'll find it
Come in
I'm looking for someone
May I have the name, please?
I don't have his name
He is tall and handsome
That's him!
Go straight to the bar
Can I help you?
Orange juice
Your drink!
He plays beautifully
He's Fang Yun-tai,
a big shot
Fang Yun-tai?
Leader of Silver Star Band?
Yes,
He was a good player
After he and Lin Yin separated
he began to perform
in Southeast Asia
He was a fine trumpeter
Mr. Fang!
Brandy!
Yes, sir
Did you sleep well?
Very well, thanks
Now I feel much better!
Why did you want to meet me here?
I had to see you
Tell me why
If d be better if I knew why
I feel sorry for you
How come you know me?
Actually, I...
I saw you perform in Hongkong
I think you have a bright future
You should work hard
Hold it, just tell me
what you want of me
I had lost all interest in life
But since seeing you perform
I dunno why but,
I have begun to compose again
Why don't you perform here?
We can make a fine team!
Great, let's make it a success
Mr. Chen
We perform at nightclubs
We're not established
We certainly are
What's the matter?
Continue practising
What's wrong with you?
I don't feel well
Maybe you're tired. Rest for a while
I'll go back first
Pan Dancing Institute?
This is the Hongkong Dance Troupe
Chen Tze-ching speaking
Mr. Pan is here
He is?
I'll be right over
Thank you, good bye!
We want more attractions
Maybe you can perform here
Starting next month, we hope you will
rehearse here
every Sunday night
It's a 30-minute programme
I hope you can make it
really new and exciting
I mean, something modern-contemporary music
That's how I feel about it
Everyone of your shows
should leave a deep impression
That's most important
I wish you the best of luck!
We need help from all of you
Let's put on a memorable show!
I'm glad you've returned
How do you feel?
All right
I just got back from the doctor's
I've good news for you
We'll start TV shows
next month
They'll sign us on
if we do well
You'll be the star!
I don't think I'll join the show
Why not?
I may quit dancing altogether
Why?
You've been working so hard!
I can't dance any more
Can't dance?
Silly, I'm pregnant...
Pregnant?
Really?
I dreaded having a baby
because I wanted to dance
But the doctor just told me
A stork is paying us a visit
I'm carrying your child
Suddenly I felt I wanted a baby
and was willing
to sacrifice anything
I am really anxious to become a mother
Chuen Chuen!
You dance very well!
Try it again;
you need better balance
Yes, sir
No good, no good at all!
It oughtta be graceful
Relax some more!
Yes, sir
You'll never make it
You're way off the mark!
You might as well give up
Darkness again engulfs the earth
The moon's sleepy but stars twinkle on
The Milky Way floods the sky
Rolling clouds stir up a hurricane
Violent gusts shake mountains
All part of his nightmare
Torrential rains sweep across rivers
Everything's drowned in the ocean of love
His heart burns with passion
Darkening sky frightens sun and moon
Suddenly all is clear
The moon vanishes, the earth slumbers
Excellent!
She's very talented
She'll be famous in no time
The Milky Way as it seems,
does appear threatening
The power of love is limitless
Good night!
You did really well
Thank you
While performing
I felt life was worth living
You've given me a new start!
Shall we dance?
Without music?
Never mind, I want to dance with you
Why did you and your wife separate?
Because I loved her too much
I don't understand
Maybe we were destined to part
If you find someone you really love
you'll know why I left her
I love you!
Don't you want me?
I do
I wouldn't have brought you here otherwise
It's better
that we stay as we are
Why?
Are you still awake, master?
I have trouble sleeping
You need a steady girl
It's hard to find the right one
Don't try to pretend.
You're in love
That's why you can't sleep
I felt the same way years ago
Perhaps you're right
But with a person as myself,
who'd fall in love with me!
The more I like someone, the more reserved I am
But your goodness
will be appreciated
Hold the line, please
Mr. Wang Ming on the line for you
Can I help you?
What? She fainted?
Why did she stay up so late?
Tell her to stop practising
Lie down, please. You'll be all right
Ting Ting just fainted!
She worked too hard!
I've called her sister
She'd be here in no time
There she is
Ting Ting!
Help her sit down!
Ting Ting!
Fetch a glass of water, quick!
Ting Ting!
Teacher Yen!
You practised too hard!
Am I still hopeless, teacher?
Who said so?
The rich pupils learn ballet for fun
But you take it seriously
That's why I'm so strict with you
Really?
I've always thought you regarded me
as hopeless, so I worked like mad
I know you hate me
I purposely made you loathe me
Best way to make you work harder
Chuen Chuen!
That phone call
really worried us
How do you feel now?
I'm just a bit tired
but teacher's words cheered me up
Are you Mr. Chen Tze-ching?
You must be Mr. Yen!
I've enjoyed your songs
Can you compose one
for Ting Ting?
Of course,
you've been a great help to her
She's got a great future, very bright!
You're such a wonderful teacher!
Chao!
Stop boasting
Let your performance speak for itself
I'm Hongkong's top magician!
If you don't believe me...
I've never heard of you
That's not impressive
Manager, please
Dear Tsui Tsui:
We're glad to learn
you've been working hard
Our troupe was a success
on the TV show
Tse-Ching has done well
so has Ting Ting
We all hope you'll come back soon
We'll perform together
Come home, Tsui Tsui
We're waiting anxiously - Chuen Chuen
Who is it?
There's a magician here, Miss Tsui Tsui!
He wants to join your performances
He said he can make a girl,
vanish in a trunk. Would you like to see
No, I'm not interested in magicians
I've tried those tricks myself
There's nothing magical about it
All right, I'll tell him to go
Excuse me if I must say so
I can't do much empty-handed
Sorry we don't need your show
Sir,
besides sleight-of-hand tricks
I can conjure up a singsong girl
But our girl won't cooperate
There is nothing I can do for you
What? Your girl won't cooperate?
Is that what you say, eh!
Your girl won't cooperate?
Lousy tramp!
No better than that!
Who does she think she is?
I should've seen it comin'
She finds your show unimpressive
Let me tell you something, I'm not bragging
but I still say I'm the best in Asia
Can't you ask her to see me?
What the hell does she think of herself?
What girls haven't I seen?
Who is she anyway?
What a great star she could become!
This type good-for-nothing girl,
How dare she criticize my act
Why did she...
Tsui Tsui!
Papa!
Why did you criticize me?
But it's true, isn't it?
What about yourself?!
I go anywhere I like
Of course, but...
You still hate me?
No, I don't hate you, papa!
Tsui Tsui!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Christmas flowers bloom again
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Christmas night is here
Christmas trees blink with lights
They glow all through the night
Snow-flakes decorate the sky
Night was never more beautiful
Santa Claus is the symbol of love
He rides through the snow
His sleigh ploughs through the drifts
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
He wishes everyone a peaceful night
May all have peace and joy!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Christmas flowers bloom again
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Christmas night is here
Christmas trees blink with lights
They glow all through the night
Snow-flakes decorate the sky
Night was never more beautiful
Santa Claus is the symbol of love
He rides through the snow
His sleigh ploughs through the drifts
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
He wishes everyone a peaceful night
May all have peace and joy!
What's wrong? It's so late!
I love you!
Tsui Tsui!
Let's dance
I'll go back to Hongkong with papa
Go back with us
Let's get married and start life anew!
Maybe you don't like me!
I do
But I want to remain!
Why?
Because I love you
I don't understand you
If you love me,
why keep away?
I too wish to be close to you
Because I can't sacrifice my career!
People like us
shouldn't marry
Lin Yin and I, for instance
She loved me
I loved her
But neither wanted to sacrifice career
Career and home
Clashed with each other
Finally we agreed to separate
Maybe you still don't understand
You're talented and pretty
You are stubborn, too
You'll be
a first-class artist someday
Does this mean
show business is dreadful?
An outsider
will never understand
We work when people relax
We cry
when people are happy
This is what we call our career
I won't leave you
We should part ifjustforthe sake
of retaining pleasant memories
and cherishing old times gone-by
I'll miss you always
and I'll be very hurt
Dwell on the cheerful songs then
Dance!
Sing!
Dance!
Sing!
Dance!
Sing!
The moon isn't always this bright
Nor all wild flowers this fragrant
Things have changed
We can also sing and dance
Sing and dance! Dance and sing!
Life is meant for enjoyment
Sing when you are lonely
Songs can gladden your heart
Songs can dispel sorrow
Even when your woes are great
Tears are bitter-sweet
Everyone has his heart's desire
May all wishes be fulfilled
Hold your head high and strive on
Let no barriers stop your advance
New dancers and singers must arise
Let the world ring with music
Goodbye!
I love you, I always will!
You're the most gifted person
I've ever met
I wish you every success
Thank you
I'll remember your words
Hongkong's lovely and so different
I've been away only a year
but I thought of Hongkong daily
Ting Ting's already a ballet dancer
and doing quite well by herself
She's certainly excelled!
Her teacher's very proud of her
Papa!
There will be
another one of us soon
When's the newcomer due?
In one-and-a-half month's time
You'll be a grandfather, papa!
It'll indeed be a moment of joy
I've steered clear of women!
Won't you join our troupe?
And thereby be a part of us?
Of course I will
It'll be a welcome news for everyone
There'll be a one-hour show for us
We might be required to make preparations
on the TV stations' 10th anniversary
So I must fly to Japan tonight
We need more dancers for the programme
Do you have to leave tonight?
Our acts do well on this show
We'll be engaged for three years
The movies will want us too
for our dance and song programmes
Is that right?
We must speed up rehearsals then!
I thought I could get Ting Ting
But she has become
a ballet star
I don't think she'll join us now
She will!
I was picked to play the leading role
but many were jealous of me
It's the same all over show business
Don't you think so, papa?
It's true
Don't let gossip upset you
Just ignore them and work hard
I ain't the one to mind it
I'm in love with Mr. Yen
Love is a serious thing
It combines respect with trust
And lots of affection!
What's the matter? Why the stare?
I'm already 1 9
True, we gotta consider teacher's age factor
But Mr. Yen is so much older
What does age matter?
I've been away only a year
yet you all look so grown up!
I'm proud of you. But I've failed you all
Papa, everyone is happy
Don't look so sad!
Aren't you best magician in Far East?
Don't be so gloomy, papa!
Think of your great days
Li
It's LI
I'll take you to the airfield, Mr. Chen
It's nearly time!
Good!
You look a real VIP now
Don't tease me
I must go, papa
You all have a nice chat
So long then!
Goodbye!
Return soon, dear
Don't keep Chuen Chuen waiting
I won't. Goodbye!
I'll see him off
Li, you go on ahead
I'll wait for you in the car
Fine!
Look after yourself
You do the same
Take extra care of the baby!
Of course; I think it's a boy
He won't stop kicking!
Chuen Chuen!
Our big day draws near
I'm so very happy
Well, I must go now
Have you forgotten something?
I just wanted another look at you
I'll wait for your return
You've got years to do that
I never tire of it
Papa, you seem younger!
I'm old and useless
Has he gone?
I want papa to be my manager
What do you think?
It's a good idea
No, no, nevertheless I'd rather that
She should get a reliable man
I want you to be my manager
Right, it'll also be realised that,
Papa is a good publicity man, too
Hear, Hear
The greatest magician
will now perform for you!
It's pouring down!
Will you stay the night, papa?
All right
Why's the light out?
Fetch candles from the kitchen, Ah Ting
Tze Ching!
What's the matter?
Tsui Tsui!
What happened?
Only a while ago he...
Who?
Yes, this is the Chens'
He flew to Japan
Just a moment, please
It's from the airline company
Mrs. Chen speaking
Yes, he took the 9:30 flight
to Japan
Lost contact with the plane?
Yes, the weather's foul
The flight had already departed
We tried to recall it
but haven't made contact
and have been unsuccessful in attempts
It may have crashed
So we decided to call you
Chuen Chuen!
Tze Ching's parents are here
Chuen Chuen!
Mother!
Chuen Chuen!
Tze Ching's now famous
You made him what he is
You're no longer an outsider
With your baby due
I hope you'll move into the house
You'll be one of us
We were selfish before
You need not have suffered so
I'm terribly sorry for what we did
Please come back to our place
We'll take good care of the baby
Mother!
Don't wallow in self-pity
Be calm for the child's sake
Tze Ching would have said
the same
He certainly would
It's paradise, it's dreamland!
As I look at the heavenly dome
Stars twinkle in the dark night
They seem entwined in a net of love
Roses blossom in profusion
Nightingale sings a melody
Every note of the song
echoes the sound of my heart
How can I live without you!
Be strong and firm
Be brave
if only for the child
Don't forget now!
I will always be with you
We'll cling to each other tightly
I must live for my baby's sake
Let me hold it for a while
You're tired
No, baby will cry in your arms
It won't hurt him to cry
Papa, mama!
You really shouldn't have taken the trouble
Are you all right?
Doctor wants me to walk about
Be careful now
He looks so much like Tze Ching
Tze Ching's face wasn't so red
Exactly like Tze Ching
Someone's looking for you, madam
Chuen Chuen!
Congratulations!
Isn't he cute!
He's adorable!
Sit down, sit down!
Sit and relax!
Make yourselves at home
Be seated, Mr. Pan
Thank you
You must be busy with TV work
Actually, we've come here
and the main reason that we're here today is
to consult you about our show
We're worried our programme
may flop without Tze Ching
So we're thinking of cancelling
the tenth anniversary show
We've put in so much time and effort
Not only it'll be a disappointment
it'll be a real setback for everyone
If you agree to perform
we'll ask the boss to reconsider
You want me to perform?
You and Ting Ting
We'll have sufficient reason
to convince the boss of your wishes
It's great to have you both appear
I'm sure the boss will agree
Why not perform just once more?
I'm all for it
I love to sing his songs
and do all I can,
though my in-laws may disapprove
I desire to take it up again
Their relatives won't like it either
What can I do?
We realize your problem
but still think you should appear
ght now I just want to raise the child
I won't cause my family
any more trouble
I'm through with dancing
If this is where things stand
Maybe we should all quit
I heard your conversation
and we've changed our viewpoint
Go ahead and join them
You mean that?
I said go ahead!
For Tze Ching's sake
You must perform
Never mind what the relatives say
I hope you'll continue his work
Join their act
We'll look after the baby
Mother!
It's wonderful
There's still hope
Papa!
Don't cry; put on a grand show
Chuen Chuen!
How excited Tze Ching would have been
All right, I'll give up ballet!
Have you much interest in
troupe performances?
Yes
If I can please the public
with songs and dances
don't you think it's worthwhile?
Well, if that's what you want
I wish you all success
Thank you, teacher
I always hoped some day
you'd become an outstanding
ballerina under my tutorship
I never thought you'd leave so soon
I'm terribly sorry, sir
Besides... You see,
I want you as my adopted daughter
Adopted daughter?
But I...I love you!
No, I am crippled
I cannot marry anyone
You're still young
You should be like Wang Ming
Sorta confident of your talents
Always work hard
He's worried about you. Goodbye then!
What you've learned here
will make you a top dance artist
I'll always miss you and,
I won't forget your advice
I will never forget you!
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In celebration of,
our Grand 10th anniversary
we have a special show by the
Hongkong Troupe, all songs in the show
were composed by Mr. Chen Tze-ching
He was leader of the troupe
but died in an air crash
This special show
will be performed
by Mrs. Chen and her sisters
We're sure
she'll pick up where Mr.Chen
left off. Let's give them
a great big hand!
The tiny bird with fragile wings
suddenly plunges in flames
Like one blindly in love
who finds thrills in danger
A go-go, A go-go
A go-go, A go-go!
Let's dance to our hearts' content
Forget all past worries
Let's begin our lives anew
I wish to become a fire bird
Soaring endlessly into the sky
Flames symbolise the light
I must approach them at any cost
A go-go, A go-go
A go-go, A go-go!
It's paradise, it's dreamland!
As I look at the heavenly dome
Stars twinkle in the dark night
They seem entwined in a net of love
Roses blossom in profusion
Nightingale sings a melody
Every note of the song
echoes the sound of my heart
Whether it's dark or bright
morning or night
I always feel you near me
We cling to each other tightly
be it in paradise
or in our dreams
I always feel you near me
We cling to each other tightly
Dance!
Sing!
Dance!
Sing!
Dance!
Sing!
The moon isn't always this bright
Nor all wild flowers this fragrant
Things have changed
We can also sing and dance
Sing and dance! Dance and sing!
Life is meant for enjoyment
Sing when you are lonely
Songs can gladden your heart
Songs can dispel sorrow
Even when your woes are great
Tears are bitter-sweet
Everyone has his heart's desire
May all wishes be fulfilled
Hold your head high and strive on
Let no barriers stop your advance
New dancers and singers must arise
Let the world ring with music
Hongkong nights are uniquely beautiful
Brilliant neon lights
Add glamour to the foggy night
Hongkong is a lovers' paradise
Love like mist, covers blemishes
Evening breeze ripples the sea
Lovers around on Rendezvous Path
Tiny stars cast curious glances
May happiness be with you always
