What are you here for?
I came to look for Master Ying.
Master Ying doesn't have time to see you. Come with me.
Master Ying!
Shut up!
I'm telling you,
if you want to preserve Rong Jin Xiu's life,
I'm giving you three minutes to leave here!
Or else, let's not even talk about Rong JinXiu.
Even you, don't think of living in Shanghai anymore!
Do you understand?
Ying Dong.
Ying Dong, I have something to say to you.
I have nothing to talk to you about.
It's a very important thing.
I also have something very important that I need to take care of right now.
Ten minutes. Please give me ten minutes.
Is our relationship not even worth ten minutes?
We've known each other for...three years.
Three minutes.
Excuse me...
Is this place looking for dancers?
Yes.
I've come to audition!
We don't take your type of women here.
Get out and close the door.
I really need this job!
I'll work hard to learn! I have talent!
If you don't believe me, look!
Look at how stiff you are.
Looking at you,
the grass outside is way better.
Get out. Get out.
No, please give me another chance!
I can, I can definitely learn.
What is going on?
Boss!
Look! With her type, she came to answer the ad!
She seems quite alright and pretty.
Take her.
Thank you boss!
Write your name down.
Are you going to sign it? If you're not then forget it.
I'll sign it.
Congratulations. You're now a dancer of Haowangjiao
I've said that I'm giving you three minutes to talk.
Start
Three minutes?
Do you think that the three-year long relationship we've shared
is only worth three minutes?
Yingdong
I'm not sure why you've turned out like this
Have I done something wrong?
Are the memories we share all a crime?
Two minutes and a half
Yingdong
I want to take a boat ride with you and visit the Jiangs
One minute and a half
I want to see
If our memories still remain
I want to try and look for them. Don't you want to do that too?
One minute
Xiang Yingdong.
Have you forgotten all the promises you've made? Let's make this clear.
You're Xiang HanChuan's woman.
You've my last thirty seconds
(Song lyrics) Have you learnt to be stronger
(Song lyrics) There's someone disappointed behind your happiness
If I were to jump off from this bridge
Would you save me?
(Song lyrics) To be hurt by you
(Song lyrics) I want to understand why you've been cold towards me
Times up
(Song lyrics) I always thought, I've always thought
(Song lyrics) That there's still hope
(Song lyrics) As though I am mad
Mingzhu!
(Song lyrics) I love you a lot yet I can't escape from your grip
(Song lyrics) As though I'm mad
(Song lyrics) You feel insecure
You've no luggage?
When can I start learning?
Learn? Learn what
Learn to dance! Didnt I apply for dance lessons?
Come with me. I will let you get changed
Mingzhu! Mingzhu
Admit it. You can't get rid of me
It's here.
Boss. Where did you find this lady?
She's new. Her name is...
Oh yes, what's your name?
Jin Xiu. Rong Jin Xiu
Yes Rong Jin Xiu.
From now onwards, be with them.
Are they students too?
Students? Haha
What a joke.
Dancers are dancers. Why phrase it so nicely?
I'm getting goosebumps, and they've fallen all over the floor
What does she mean?
Dancer? I'm not being one.
Where are you going?
She looks down on us dancers.
What's wrong with being dancers? We earn money with pride.
It's stronger than being beggars.
I'm not being one. Stop her.
What do you think this place is?
To come and go as you wish?
Look carefully.
In these ten years, you belong to us.
You've signed this agreement yourself.
You're lying!
You didn't allow me to have a good look at it and tricked me into it.
I didn't force you to.
I'm still reasonable even if you were to report it to the police.
You want to escape? You think you can?
Boss
If you were to ruin her face
You're going to make a loss in the end
Just be more forgiving. Why bother wasting your time with her?
Let me settle her
Learn well here
Or you'll be making a loss
Let's talk about the problems next time
If you were not to listen well,
I'll not spare you.
It's like this when you're new.
Just get used to it
I'm not going to be a dancer
Jinxiu, jinxiu
How long are you going to stay in the washroom?
Jinxiu!
Escape
Why aren't you escaping
You've attempted to escape multiple times
Do you really think I won't deal with you?
Change into these clothes and meet the customers.
I'm not changing. I'm telling you that I'm not going to be a dancer
This isn't up to you
Boss, don't be like this
I'll talk to her
Sister,
You're surrounded by Boss Wang's men, you can never escape
Listen to me and get changed
Don't force me or I'll die here
Sister, don't be silly
Boss
You're doing these for money. If someone was to die here
You can never operate your dance house again
Lock her up in the underground room.
Sister
What are you doing?
Let me go
Mingzhu
Don't ever do this again
You still care for me
That's the best evidence
So what if you've known it?
We can never be together like in the past
Yingdong!
Yingdong
Why are you ill suddenly?
I'm alright. Don't worry
Then if I were to jump off this bridge,
Would you have saved me?
Admit it
You can't get rid of me
(Song lyrics) The story that returns
(Song lyrics) Will it be like this
(song lyrics) I know you won't
(Song lyrics) Turn and look back
(Song lyrics) I always thought
(Song lyrics) And have always though
(song lyrics) There's still hope
You still care for me.
And this is the best evidence
(Song lyrics) I am like a mad person
(Song lyrics) you're insecure
(Song lyrics) you've made me look bad
(song lyrics) Yet have still hurt me
(Song lyrics) Like a mad person
(song lyrics) You're insecure
(song lyrics) You've made me look bad
(song lyrics) yet have still hurt me
Boss
You've locked her up for nearly a day
If she isnt given food
She will not be able to withstand it
Nobody is to let her out
Isn't she tough
I'll have to have her beg me
Boss. Nobody is to beg for her
Say one more word
And I'll lock you up too
Get lost
The moon that is crescent, and the boat that is tiny
The tiny boat has two pointy sides
I'm sitting inside the tiny boat
And can only see
Sparkling Stars and Blue Skys
Xiu-er. You've to be good
Don't worry, mom and dad
will be by your side forever
This is your favorite granny biscuit
Here, take it
Take it
Xiu-er, come
Be good and listen to me
Come, come into your sister's arms
Jinxiu, jinxiu, jinxiu
Jinxiu wake up
I've yet to avenge for my mom and dad
I've yet to acknowledge my sister
I can't die
I've to persist on
poor thing
You're uttering nonsense now
You must have been hungry. Let's eat some food
Here
Here, bun.
Eat slowly
Here, have a sip of water
Why are you so nosy? Dont!
How dare you steal my keys
Don't hit her
She's here to convince me
Dont you want me to change?
I've thought it through. I'll change
Are you ready?
You're new here so I bet you dont know how to dance
Just blend in later
Just move around
If someone was to dance with you, ask him for the tcoupon
In the end, our salary is based off the coupons
I'm only agreeing into changing
I didnt agree to be a dancer
We the Rong family will never do this
My god. Are you thinking of escaping again?
Dont escape again
They will beat you to death if you are caught
Just hide behind me later
If there's anything, I'll be here to protect you
Boss Wang
What's wrong?
Small matter. Just sit down and have some drinks
Rong Jinxiu. Becareful
Quick dance
Boss Wang, I'll do it
He's there. Catch him
Dont move!
Stay there! Anna,
Whats happening?
He has owed people gambling debts, and they are here for that
Refund!
Dont panic, you still can dance without the music
How are we going to dance?
Okay, even without the music, we have so many beautiful ladies here
They can accompany you to dance
Come here.. Even without music we still can dance. Let me lead you
We can sing ourselves
Isn't it easier to find someone to play the instrument
That's easy for you to say. How are we going to find one when this is an entertainment venue?
Where can we find someone who can play piano?
Refund
Take out your money! Watch this
Dance with me
Lets dance! We can sing
Ok... lets dance
Dance party has began!
Let's dance
this is...
Anna
The boss has told me that I do not have to dance. I can just play the piano
You cant even earn 5 coupons by dancing in a month
He has to at least spend 20 bucks to hire a piano player
If Im the boss, I would've made you play the piano too
What do you think...
What happen
As usual, slight headache
Sit down and I'll massage
Do you feel better?
I feel much better
What about this? better?
I'm helping your energy flow
So in the future your head won't hurt no more
I do feel much better
My little Jin Xiu, you can do so many things
When you came, I thought you were useless
But suddenly we found out that your a treasure
Oh yea. Where did you buy these needles?
The boss gave me a reward, so I ask the uncle Yan to buy it for me.
What? All the money that you got
You took it to buy this? - Yes
My good little sister
Er Ye, We found Miss Jin Xiu
Jue Wang Hao Dance Hall
Jin Xiu...
We heard you can heal people and you healed Anna's headache.
Yes... You should take a look at us too.
My stomach hurt... - My chest is stuffy
I...
I have haemorrhoids
Alright. If I can help everyone, I am quite happy
Why don't tomorrow afternoon come to see me, and I'll prescribe some medicines
Alright. Great...
Hurry. Go out.
Today, Boss Huang has booked the entire studio.
You guys must serve Boss Huang well
Go go. Ok.
We found a doctor now...
Boss Huang or Mr. Huang
Mr. Huang you are one of our special customers
Today, I arrange some woman to serve you well
No need. Tonight, I want her
You mean Jin Xiu?
Yes. I want the person who is playing the piano
Mr. Huang, I'm sorry. Jin Xiu is our pianist
She doesn't know how to dance
We have other ladies
Many of those you... Anna...
Mr. Huang, it's been a long time. Have you forgotten me?
Move move. Let me tell you
Tonight, I only want her
I haven't played with someone who plays piano
Mr. Huang, Jin Xiu really doesn't know how to dance
Please don't make it difficult for me
Is this enough? Go and get her
Then let me try
Jin Xiu, you don't need to play anymore
Go and dance with Mr. Huang
Boss, didn't we agree
I would only play piano and not dance with anyone else.
That was back then, now things have changed
I don't want to offend Mr. Huang
I'm not going
Take it as if I'm begging you
Take it as if your helping me
How about this, if you dance with Mr. Huang
Every month, I'll pay you $2
Lady
Come dance with me
Mr Huang, she doesn't know how to dance
Let me dance with you
Move... get out of my way
Anna, are you alright? - I'm alright
Whatever I want, I must have
Tonight, if you don't dance with me
I will close this place
Come and dance with me
Dance with me
Come
Come here baby
Let her go
Come here. Move it
Anna, are you alright?
Come here baby and dance with me
Who is it?
Zuo Er Ye
This person is mine!
My Zuo Zhen's things
can only be flung by me.
If I flung it and broke it, all the pieces are still mine. No one is allowed to touch
Yes...
I want to speak to you.
Just a few words. Let's go out there to speak.
Jin Xiu
Speak
These past days, it has been very tough.
When I was hit by people,
and thrown out,
I thought I would die.
That was when I realized I was not willing to give up yet.
I wasn't ready to give up and leave,
because there are still things I must finish.
I must continue to live and do what I need to do.
I know I am no one in Shanghai
Just like now, if you weren't there,
who would know what bad things could have happened?
I'm not an ungrateful person.
You treating me well,
You have helped me.
I will remember them in my heart
I am very thankful. Thank you.
But I have my own ways of how I want to live.
I hope you can respect me.
For awhile, Mr. Huang was very wrong and bad.
When he bullied me, I hated him.
I understand that this person doesn't deserve compassion,
but as a human, I can't trample over other people's dignity.
I don't want to become hateful like those people.
Maybe you might think
my request is funny,
but please respect me.
Please listen to my wish.
And let him go
Please?
At this time,
let me be vulnerable for a bit.
This type of pain
Again, this man has saved me again
And allowed him to be by my side
I should die... Er Ye
Er Ye, please forgive me
Treat me like I'm nothing and let me go
Er ye...
Er Ye...
What are you doing here still? Get Lost
Treat it as if your lucky today that you met Jin Xiu
Get Lost!
I'll get lost... I'll leave...
Who knew Er Ye listens to Jin Xiu
Speak, how did Jin Xiu end up here
Jin Xiu...
Miss Jin Xiu signed a work contract with me
She wanted to be a dancing partner
B.S. A Dancing Partner...
You actually made Jin Xiu stay here to be a dancing girl.
You must think too highly of yourself. Bring out the contract
This money is to buy Jin Xiu's contract
No... I...
I don't dare to take your money.
Er Ye gave it to you. So take it.
Yes
What are you still doing there?
Hurry and lets go
Jin Xiu, as long as you are alright, that is good. I was worried.
I couldn't find you. I thought something happened to you.
Silly, what can happen to me.
Good thing for Er Ye. To find you,
He checked over half of Shanghai for you
Since everything has been resolved,
Come back with me to Shi Zi Lin Hotel
Zuo Er Ye, already told everyone to not bully you
I don't want to return anymore
Because I don't want to depend on other people
I want to be strong
Even though I can't be as strong and powerful as Zuo Zhen
At least I won't be like this
I feel that I am useless
I hope that one day when Zuo Zhen needs help,
I want to be able to help him too
Sister Jin Xiu, no matter what you decide, I will support you
I will be at Shi Zi Lin Hotel. As long as you want to come see me
You can always come.
She actually said she wants to be able to help me
Zuo Zhen...
Even though I said it many time
Even I would be irritated
But I still want to say...
If you want to say Thank you, then forget it
You already helped me 3 times, I already returned it 3 times
During the boat, ying dong and this time
I already returned your favors
Alright
I am going then. Good bye.
Stop.
Don't you regret. - Regret what?
Regret that you didn't listen to me
By staying with me and be my woman
If today I wasn't there, how do you think it would end?
You must understand clearly now?
I don't regret.
But I am thankful that you came
If you came later or never came
I would find my own way to solve it
Such a niave girl like you, what ideas would you have.
I rather die with honor than die in vain
I won't embarrass my family Rong's honor
Thank you
I'm going now
Er Ye, are you just going to let Ms. Jin Xiu leave?
She doesn't think like me.
This lesson wasn't useful toward her
Good thing you came, or else
We wouldn't know what could have happened to Jin Xiu
Don't touch me
If you come closer, I will kill myself
I rather die in honor than in vain
I won't embarrass my Rong family's honor
It seems if we really push the things away
It would actually break
A broken person can actually easily get hurt
Shi Hao
Have two people guard her
Yes
Boss
Ms. Jin Xiu
Boss
Can I still play the piano?
I can have less money
Ms. Jin Xiu, please let me go
Oh no... let me call you Gu Nai Nai (Honorable Lady)
Er Ye is already upset, who would dare to hire you
Jin Xiu, why did you return?
If I had a choice, I wouldn't stay here.
If I was you, I would go with Er Ye
In Shanghai, everyone knows Zuo Er Ye's name
He has money, power and he is handsome
You just don't realize how many girls wishes to marry him
Jin Xiu, tell me honestly
What is the relationship between you and Zuo Er Ye
He is my friend
A good friend
Why are these words so familiar?
Oh yes. Before I saw a love story
It starts where the girl says this to the guy
Alright. I won't tease you anymore.
Don't you need a job now?
Where?
Nanjing Road underneath the small bell tower, there's an employment agency.
Those who want to look for workers will go there.
You can go and see if you can apply
That is great. Tomorrow is a new day
Hello, can you help me take a look.
Ok
I"m sorry
Sorry...
You wrote this character wrong.
The character di has a shi(rock) character on the side.
This idiot. He should have checked it carefully
Good thing you helped me notice this. If people found out
People would laugh and think we're liars
Are you here to also look for people?
I'm here to look for a job
This is great. It's good that you met me. I can introduce you to a good job.
Take it as if you helped me by recognizing the character
I'm sorry. It's right ahead
