You must win the battle today, OK?
OK.
Most important of all,
you must make your mother-in-law like you to win Tik-tik back.
Wait a second.
What do you mean mother-in-law? What do you mean Tik-tik?
Tik-tik's mom is taking Tik-tik on a blind date today
with the young boss of a factory.
Of course you have to go there to declare your sovereignty.
1pm today at Long Island Hotel. Have you forgotten?
I have an appointment with the publisher.
I'm giving him my manuscript after I proofread it.
Do it another day.
I was barred before.
It was really hard to get an appointment with the editor.
Send it to him by email now. Meet him another day.
You know the contents of "Behind The Glamor" are really sensitive.
I need to talk to the editor in person to fill him in.
I can't let Wah Fong-ying smear me first.
What about Tik-tik then?
If she accepts the young boss, she'll go to China and marry him.
I should really thank her mom this time.
She has the vision to find her such a nice guy.
Otherwise I'd be responsible for depriving Tik-tik of happiness.
Enough talking. I'm asking you one last time
Publishing your book or Tik-tik?
Don't you know me? You're asking such a stupid question.
Song Sheung-hang, you're the most stupid guy around.
William's family is in the plastics business.
They have two factories in Dongguan
with over 10,000 square feet.
To be honest, marriage is a transaction.
I'm so attractive. You need to be my match if you want to marry me.
It's good to be candid. There's no point wasting our time.
I'm the only son. I'm in charge of my family business.
You often go to Dongguan.
There must be a lot of good food. You must have eaten a lot.
Yes. There are lots of special dishes in Dongguan.
There are free range chickens, game meat, and pig's entrails.
If you are interested, I can take you there and try them with you.
Just now you said we should be candid. Now you're pretending not to understand.
By good food in Dongguan, I mean girls.
I told you to joke only when appropriate. The food's here. Let's eat first.
Excuse me. We didn't order these.
I'm sorry. You've already eaten it. You can't return it.
What? Manager...
Sweetheart, don't eat it.
Don't worry. I ordered the food.
Excuse me. You can get back to work. I'm buying Miss Szeto this meal.
You are?
Hello, auntie. My name is But Ti-Tak.
I'm the owner of this hotel. I'm also Tik-tik's friend.
Tik-tik, I've already asked my colleagues
to upgrade your room to the presidential suite.
Someone will come and get your bags for you later.
You're really so kind. Thank you very much.
You're welcome, auntie. Tik-tik's mom is my mom.
You do have good judgment making friends with such a nice guy.
There's always someone better.
You're amazing. You can really fool people.
You look like a rich boy wearing a nice suit.
You're even more amazing. You're dressed so colorfully.
You're really a charming cheap lady.
This is a designer suit. Just now you treated us to expensive food.
You also upgraded my mom to a presidential suite.
Will you exceed your credit card's limit?
I didn’t need to use my credit card.
Sean wrote a food review for this hotel's restaurant.
Everything just now is on the hotel.
Sean helped?
Of course.
He's busy working on his book right now. But he still cares about you.
Otherwise how would I have the guts to play a rich boy to come to your rescue?
You think I'm really the young owner here?
Are there other unused gifts?
There's also free Thai massage.
Great. I'll take a bath and get changed first.
I hate the dress I'm wearing. Thank you very much, Buddy.
OK. Bye.
Mr But, the boss is in the conference.
He knew you were here. He asked you to meet with him.
I'm not involved in the hotel's management.
Leave me out of meetings.
Mr But, the boss really needs your help. The hotel is his baby. You're his only son.
Of course he wants you to take over is management.
He has his baby. I have mine too, OK? You can help him manage the hotel.
Hello, Sharon. Are you busy?
Oh, your guest is here. I'll see myself out.
I must see you out. Come on... Goodbye, Ms. Wah.
Editor, the manuscript for "Behind The Glamor" is finished.
Sean, I'm sorry. I suddenly remember I have another appointment.
Let's talk again some other time, OK?
It's OK. I'll leave it here. Take your time to read it.
This isn't a good idea. This is your work.
I'll read it when we really talk about this, OK?
I don't understand. What do you mean really talk about this?
Were we just joking when we were talking before?
You're a clever boy.
How would a clever boy insist on what's real or not.
Take it easy, man.
Do you have time to talk?
What is it, Ms. Wah?
You want to tell me that you've asked the distributor to block me?
You've already done that before.
I know you won't give up so easily.
You often cut corners. You must have a plan B.
Of course I do.
There are no absolute secret. Information can be spread by different ways.
Even if I can't my book "Behind The Glamor" published,
I still have lots of other ways to tell people your secrets.
Through your internet channel?
How much attention can such a small channel draw?
Even if you put everything about me there and make lots of noise about it,
you still won't make any money.
My target was never money. It's fame.
The scale of the internet channel isn't relevant at all.
What matters is making noise.
Back then I could make an unknown cheap lady notorious.
This time my target is the famous Wah Fong-ying.
What if this famous Wah Fong-ying published a book herself
to reveal all her secrets?
Who do you think would make bigger noise?
Of course you would. But your reputation would still get tainted.
In the end you'd suffer the greatest loss.
What can't I afford to lose? I've had money, status and fame.
What can't I afford to lose?
What a coincidence.
I don't have any money, status or fame. What cant I afford to lose?
You should just consider what you'll lose.
Has it ever occurred to you that you could win?
What do you mean?
I have a win-win solution.
You can still publish your book "Behind The Glamor".
I'll tell you everything you want to know about me.
But there's a condition.
You can't write a single thing about Tong Wing.
Nothing about him?
That means I have to give up half of my book?
You can't seen to think positively. You still have half of it left.
I don't believe you'd want your efforts to become trash again.
We can eat.
You've been waiting for me here?
Buddy said you were taking the final edition of "Behind The Glamor" to the publisher.
The book will be officially published. I want to celebrate with you. Cheers...
Cheers...What's the matter? Something wrong?
No. There's just a minor hurdle. I can manage.
Let's celebrate this in advance then.
Besides, I want to thank you for sending Buddy to help me today.
I can't believe they would give you so many gifts
in return for your food review.
You must have written a raving review about them.
What food review?
Buddy drove away the guy for me during today's blind date.
He posed as a rich guy and treated us to expensive food.
He even arranged a presidential suite for my morn.
He said it was because you wrote a great food review.
That's how you earned those gifts.
Are you serious? Is Buddy crazy? He did that?
How would there be a free lunch? Wait. How could he pay for that?
You think Buddy was stupid to help me?
Weren't you worried about me going on a blind date?
It's just a blind date. It's not like you were jumping off a building.
Why would I be worried?
Buddy is just an ordinary friend. He did so much to help me.
You should be the most concerned. How come you don't care about me at all?
Why do I have to care about you? You told Wah Fong-ying everything.
Do you know how much trouble you gave me?
Now the publisher's told me that there are only two options.
Either listen to them or let my work become trash.
I didn’t know it would end up like this. I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize. I caused this misunderstanding.
Romance and career cant coexist. Right now I just want my career. That's all.
Mom, have you bought the copyright for all of Brother Wing's songs?
Yes. Very soon Tong Wing can make his own record.
Yeah. Mom, I really love you.
Brother Wing, did you hear that? You must work hard.
Let everyone hear your music.
I have a new song. It's for everyone.
Tong Wing.
Brother Wing.
Tong Wing, are you OK?
Tong Wing.
Vince's condition is really bad. He needs surgery immediately.
What happened?
He was getting better and better. He was even playing music again.
There's permanent damage from when he abused drugs.
This is the long-term effect.
Doctor, you must save my son.
As long as he's fine, nothing else matters.
How did I...la la la...No matter how I sing. With confidence, everything's better.
How do I play...la la la...How...Mom.
Tong Wing, everyone's out for dinner. Why are you still here?
Are you nervous because this will be your first public performance?
I do feel a bit nervous now. I'm also really excited.
Mom, I really like singing. I want my music to move the audience.
So I won't quit. I won't quit.
The 2011 Young Singer Award goes to...Tong Wing.
I can stand here today to accept this award, because of one person...Wah Fong-ying.
I'm luckier than most people.
I got this award as soon as I joined the profession.
It's because of my family background.
But I promise that from now on,
each and every one of my songs and albums will be the result of my own efforts.
Mom, I hope someday
people won't remember me as Wah Fong-ying's son.
I hope they'll remember you as Tong Wing's mom.
Brother Wing, wake up.
You said you would sing for me. I'm waiting.
Vince, you said you would dedicate a song to me on your next album.
You even asked me to shoot an MV with you. I've been preparing for that for two years.
Now we're just waiting for you.
Tong Wing, do you remember you said
that someday people wouldn't think of you as Wah Pong-Wing's son?
They would only remember me as Tong Wing's mom.
I'm most afraid of being forgotten.
But for you, I'm willing to be forgotten.
Even if no one listens to Wah Fong-ying's songs anymore, and only listens to yours,
I'd still be so happy.
Hey, Vince.
Tong Wing.
I've finally finished my last song.
Mom, you're my first idol as well as my first fan. La la la...
Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me? If not, I'll leave.
I know you spent a lot of effort on your book "Behind The Glamor".
Last time you just wanted to take it out on someone.
I know you didn't mean it. Actually it's no big deal.
You may have failed this time. Try again.
You're so talented. I know you'll make it.
Look. If you can't pull it off at 30, do it at 40.
Otherwise you can still do it at 50, 60, 70 or 80.
I will still wait for you.
You're really funny. Last time I yelled at you.
I didn't do anything afterwards. I didn't even apologize to you.
And you've already forgiven me?
Listen, except for Siamese twins, everyone is an individual.
You and I are not related in any way. Stop using the word "we".
You and I are not related in any way. What does that mean?
You still don't get it? I mean our relationship
is not so close that we can use "we".
What's our relationship then? We've been through so much together.
I've given so much for your career. I treat your career like my own.
You can't answer such a simple question?
I've answered it many times already. I won't date anyone before I get famous.
I'm not asking you to be with me now.
I want to remind you that you once called me your VIP.
Very important person. Don't you forget that.
Anyone who can help me in my career and who I can use is my VIP.
Please don't keep counting how much you've done for me.
Weren't you prepared to do it?
You told me you wanted to help me get famous.
Since you said that, was I supposed to refuse your help?
And don't sound so selfless and so devoted
by saying that you'll wait for me for life.
Do you know how long your life will be? I didn't ask you to wait.
If you want reciprocity in love, go see Diamond or Nash.
Why keep tagging along with me? Have some pride in yourself.
Shut up.
Why? I'm not done talking yet.
A man won't be moved by a woman like you.
He'll only think you're really cheap.
Thank you for the advice.
So I've just been a stupid cheap lady to you all this time.
I've given you so much trouble. I've bothered you for so long.
I'm really so sorry. Don't worry. I will never show up again.
Where are you going?
Anywhere. Just drive around.
I know your voice. You're Sean who runs the internet channel?
Yes. You're so smart. Hey, the meter's not running yet.
It's OK.
I'll start it when you have decided where you want to go.
Shining like stars twinkling.
Dressed elegantly and making a stage appearance.
Flying. Dress made of clouds. Dancing to give out the scent of a woman.
Please start the meter. I know where I want to go.
Mom, leave the rest of the things to me. Your health is poor. You need more rest.
Don't wear out yourself.
This is the last thing I can do for your older brother.
I have to do it myself. Don't worry. I can hang in there.
Ms. Wah, can we talk?
She's tired. Please leave her alone.
I've thought it over.
Why make both parties lose? I've decided to accept your offer.
I don't know what offer you're talking about.
But my mom's not in the mood to talk to you about work now.
Tong Yan, you go home first.
OK.
I won't write about Tong Wing as you requested.
You said you would let me publish my book "Behind The Glamor".
I hope you'll keep your promise.
It's too late now.
I won't write about Tong Wing as you requested.
You said you would let me publish my book "Behind The Glamor".
I hope you'll keep your promise.
It's too late now.
What do you want now?
I put all everything into my book. I've sacrificed so much for it.
"Behind The Glamor" is as important as my life.
What's more important than life?
He's already gone now.
What's the point of keep his music and dream alive now?
What's left that's worth my concern?
Vince is dead?
It's all over now.
You're free to write your book the way you like.
Chris, be careful.
I can't run anymore. You go ahead.
OK.
Chris, don't run so fast.
You're acting more and more like a mother.
I am a mother.
You just played like crazy with your nephew.
When I'm playing with Chris,
I felt like I was playing with Brother Wing after school.
Are you OK?
I'm OK. I know Brother Wing is in a better world now.
Where there are no worries, no more success or failure.
Perhaps he's playing the harp with the angels now.
I hope Mom could let it go too.
Don't you know her character? She never lets anything go easily.
I've never seen her like this.
She's not talking. She's not practicing her singing.
She doesn't go out. It's like only her body is left.
She cared about Brother Wing the most.
She was the most heartbroken when he got sick. Now he's gone.
Of course she feels the most pain.
She's in pain, but she hasn't been able to shed any tears.
I've spent ten years working out this plot.
The story happens in eight countries and five time-spaces.
I've counted the number of characters. There are 42 in total.
It's really rich. It's a touching epic.
The plot sounds quite fascinating.
It is.
But I'm afraid it's not suitable for our column.
It fits perfectly.
The main character in my story is a young kind who wants reform.
It so happens your agency wants to restructure the column too.
It's a perfect match.
It's an adult column. I need erotica.
I'm afraid you won't write that.
No problem at all. All literary writing is the same.
I don't think erotica is cheap.
An enlightening porn story is more valuable than strained literature.
No, I need to go back to the news agency.
I will seriously consider your idea.
Give me some more time please. Please sit down.
I want to talk about the climax with you.
Yes. I know my story is a bit long.
Don't worry. How could my story not be popular?
No. How about this? I'll divide it into different chapters.
You can read each chapter individually. You can also read them together as a whole.
Is that OK? It's decided then.
And don't take too long to consider this.
I don't want to lose the competitive edge. You know we need to win.
Otherwise it'll be a loss for the agency. That won't be good. OK. Yes.
Hey, there are two parties competing?
What? You're accepting someone else's offer? You're selling your story to them too?
There are two gifts? People like competition
OK. OK. Write for us exclusively.
I'll raise your fee by 30 percent.
It was really a coincidence today. I ran into Tik-tik.
Oh, yes?
Yes. I even ran into her twice.
With two different guys. She seems fine. This is good.
I hurt her before. It seems she's recovered now.
She's even two-timing. She's really lucky.
Were the two guys Diamond and Nash?
How did you know?
After Tik-tik stopped working for Wah Fong-ying,
she started working as Diamond's assistant.
It so happens that Diamond is working on a project for Nash's company.
So she's always meeting the two of them. It's normal. Why are you so surprised?
I'm not. How come you know so much?
I keep in touch with her.
You broke up with her. But she's still my friend.
Are you done feeling jealous?
You're crazy. I'm just curious. It's normal to care about my friend.
Just curious? I was worried.
You better ask everything once and for all.
I don't want you to say she's two-timing again
when you see her having lunch with me in the future.
Go ahead. It's none of my business. I'm going to the washroom.
Dad, there's renovation work going on at my serviced apartment.
I've been working for two weeks in a row already. I just want to sleep.
Give me a break, OK?
I'll give you a break after you answer my question.
You really didn't talk to Alice?
It's really hard to get some quiet moments.
OK...You're really so tired that you can't answer me?
You don't need to wear yourself out working so hard.
Wah Fong-ying has canceled her concert.
Fancy Golden is organizing an All Stars Show to fill her time slot.
I have to do the promotion work all over again.
So there won't be a chance she'll carry on with her concert, right?
Definitely. Enough please.
Hey, take your shoes off or go to the bedroom.
So it's the season to see fireflies again.
I remember there were lots of big fireflies in the mountain.
The grown-ups often laughed at me and called me a liar.
But I'm sure I saw them.
My husband said when I get better,
he'll go to Taiwan with me and we'll look for the fireflies together.
Come on. OK. Thank you...
Law Bun, you've really decided to close it? Isn't it a shame?
There's a time for everything. Nothing lasts forever.
There's always a time to part and say goodbye.
We come here during New Year every year to take family photos.
We've done this for almost 20 years. It has become a family tradition.
As long as everyone in the family is safe and harmonious,
it doesn't matter when and where you take the photos.
When you come back from your trip, let's go to tea together.
OK. Thank you for your patronage all these years.
Thank you. You can come to pick up the photos next week.
Thank you.
Bye.
Bye...
Goodbye.
Bye...You see? They all miss Upstairs Photo Studio.
Why don't you reconsider?
I've already bought my ticket. Just save your breath.
How about this?
Look. If I can get enough revenue to cover the rent, let's carry on.
You?
Don't belittle me. I'm a late bloomer.
What's your plan then?
Still working on it, OK?
Since Master George is so ambitious, I will support you.
When you come back from Taiwan, you'll see a miracle.
I'll get down to business.
Here's $40. Keep the change.
Are you so busy that
you don't even have time to go out for meals? You ordered take-out?
I'm busy writing.
Mr Law Bun-hon, don't you need to fight bad guys and save the day?
Here comes the lift. Work hard tonight.
The lift will wait. I need to discuss something with you.
Here's $40. Keep the change.
Are you so busy that
you don't even have time to go out for meals? You ordered take-out?
I'm busy writing.
Mr Law Bun-hon, don't you need to fight bad guys and save the day?
Here comes the lift. Work hard tonight.
The lift will wait. I need to discuss something with you.
Keep this.
What's that?
Promotion for the concert. You may need the photos.
The concert is already canceled. She's gone to Taiwan to rest.
You know that.
The whole team's been disbanded. You think it'll happen?
The essence of "Glamorous Transformation" is the word "transformation". It was your idea.
You know its true meaning best.
Back then you said it's OK to fall. What's most important is getting back up
As long as you keep trying, there's always a chance for transformation.
Have you forgotten what you said?
What can we do now?
Even if we set up the stage again, the star is still refusing to get on it.
Who's going to sing?
You're good at coming up with ideas.
Unless you want to write erotica for the rest of your life.
Then I won't keep you.
Look. I won't take back the photos.
I hope we can convince Wah Fong-ying together.
Besides, you wrote that the girls threw themselves at the guys
even though they were surrounded by the police. What a lousy plot line.
Be more subtle.
What does it matter to you? You said I'm good at coming up with ideas.
So that's a yes?
I didn't say that.
It's a three-sided stage. We don't need this area.
As for the VIP section here... Tik-tik, are you OK?
I'm fine. I guess I didn't sleep well last night.
I'm a bit tired. Don't worry. I'll be ready once I start working.
Are you really OK?
Why?
In the meeting,
we're going to talk about replacing Sis Fong's concert.
I'm afraid you'll be upset.
I'm OK. It's a shame that Ms. Wah has canceled her concert.
But before she made that decision,
I had already stopped being her assistant.
I need to return a call.
Master Kai.
Tik-tik, how come you're here?
I'm Diamond's assistant now. I came with him for a meeting.
I can't believe we'd meet again like this. Work hard. You're good.
Thank you, Master Kai.
You've always trusted me the most since I joined this profession.
Don't worry. I will work hard. I won't let you down.
It's because you did a good job.
Actually I'm not the only person who thinks so.
Sis Fong thinks highly of you too.
Speaking of Ms. Wah, do you know how she's been lately?
Vince died. That's the biggest blow to her.
She said she went to Taiwan with her two daughters to see her grandson.
Actually her daughters wanted to distract her.
No matter how unreasonable Sis Fong was,
I could still pacify her.
But now I'm really at my wits' end.
I don't know what else I can do to help her.
If you have time, go visit her.
But...I'm no longer her assistant.
Tik-tik, I don't know what happened between you and Sis Fong.
She told me not to ask you either. But there's something I must tell you.
Before Vince died,
she had been waiting for you to resume working for her.
How can that be?
The proof is that she never formally fired you.
She hasn't hired a new assistant since then either.
Perhaps she's been hoping all along that you'd work for her again.
She really has been paying me. I already quit. Why is she still paying me?
Tik-tik. ..Szeto Tik-tik.
Buddy?
I was going to record something for the soundtrack.
I can't believe I would run into you here.
What's the matter? You look so dazed.
I'm fine. You do your work. Let's have lunch next time.
Of course we need to eat. But let's sit down and chat now.
I could use a drink since I'm really thirsty.
You still get paid without working. That's good.
She didn't fire me. She even keeps paying me.
In other words she still considers me her assistant and one of her own people.
I don't know how to face her now.
Should I be mad at her? Or should I pity her?
Perhaps Ms. Wah feels guilty about your uncle.
She wants to make it up to you.
Look. She's rich. She wants peace of mind.
Do her a favor. Keep pretending that you don't know about it.
After I found out what had happened to Uncle Long,
I told her there would be karma for her. Then Vince really died.
Hey, don't be so superstitious. You didn't get him killed.
It's normal to talk nonsense when you're angry.
But I feel so bad.
What's so special about this mic?
It's big.
It's not an ordinary mic. It's called the Mic god.
Mic god?
That's correct.
Tell Mic god what you want to say but are afraid to say.
Then all your troubles will be gone.
Thank you for trying to comfort me, Buddy.
I'd rather talk candidly face to face with the person
than vent it through a mic.
Good. I'll give you ten likes then.
But is there someone else apart from Ms. Wah?
No.
Seriously, Sean still cares very much about you.
So what?
Our relationship has already ended. We are absolutely and completely over.
No way. I dare you to tell Mic god that you two are over. Don't lie about it.
You will be cursed if you do.
Cursed?
Yes. So be careful.
Really?
Are you scared? Don't lie then.
Song Sheung-hang and I are absolutely over. It's over.
You said over and over again. It's an infinite loop.
I may stay in Taiwan for a while this time.
You still want to shoot fireflies for Mom? I know you won't quit once you've decided.
If the renovation at your place is too noisy,
you can move here.
I'm not here anyway. No one will nag you.
I will really consider that seriously.
But on one condition.
Don't touch your things, right?
Don't bring any women here except Alice. OK. I won't talk about it.
I did try to find her. I don't want to get married.
But I can support her financially so she could be a good mom.
But it seems she wants to stay away from me.
She doesn't want to see me.
I don't know why. I think she's a very nice girl.
I lost my daughter. I wish I could have a daughter-in-law like her.
Dad, those are two separate matters.
It's good you know that.
No one can replace Chi-wing.
No one can replace Alice either. Think about it.
If I had known I could only spend so little time with Chi-wing,
I would have cherished it.
Dad, I've got a yellow rabbit too.
I'm working. You play for a while first.
OK. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan and blue.
I still need a purple rabbit. Then there'll be a rainbow.
Dad, please hurry and buy me Crispy.
Be good, Chi-wing.
I need to print photos for the customers now
I just need a purple rabbit. Then there'll be a rainbow.
Tomorrow. I'll buy it for you after school tomorrow.
You promised. We have to buy it tomorrow.
I promise you I'll buy it for you after school tomorrow, OK?
