[Stay With Me]
[Episode 1]
[Paris, France]
Today, Ling Long, a couture bridal designer brand from China
will be showcasing their newest designs for the upcoming season. (in French)
What is intriguing is that this fashion show is also a competition.
Chinese couture label, DU, is here to take on Ling Long
in a competition to win a prestigious Fontaine Bleu commission
the crown jewel label for couture.
Trying to guess who will walk away the winner
is as hard as trying to guess the weather in France.
After a fantastic show yesterday, DU has already gained the upper hand.
Will Ling Long turn the tide today?
Tune in today to watch this heated battle in glamour and fashion.
Tell the sound man to lower the volume by three decibels.
This is a fashion show, not a dance floor.
- What are you doing? Happy Farm? - Director Li.
- Why don't you farm instead? - Yes.
- Take it off. - Right away.
- Hurry up. - Director Li.
- Feed this dry grass to the horses. - Sorry, Director Li.
- Director Li. - Tighten the waist another inch.
Step aside.
You are a display for my designs.
If you are unable to show off my product well, you will regret it.
Speak.
Madam Li, model 24's headdress... is missing.
Madam Li, I've searched everywhere. It's definitely not here.
Oh, right! It might have been left at the hotel.
At the hotel?
Oh no! The hotel is over 20 kilometers away!
- I'm sorry. - We won't make it back in time.
What were you doing?
Without the headpiece, this is an incomplete product!
- Do you know how important this show is? - Scissors.
Madam Li.
Wow!
The angles of the organza fabric open up the ever-changing headpiece
and the clean, short hairstyle contrasts so perfectly.
The cut skirt shows off the beauty of asymmetry.
It complements the sassy headpiece just beautifully.
Leave my show immediately. I don't want to see you again.
Madam Li, give me a chance!
It was my mistake. Please give me another chance, Madam Li!
It's not your first day. She's notoriously known as the She-Devil.
Do you have a death wish?
Isn't that the chairman of DU, Chen Yi Du?
Mr. Chen, why have you come to Ling Long's show?
Please tell us your prediction for the competition's outcome.
Mr. Chen, can you guess at the result of your competition with Ling Long?
Mr. Chen!
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five.
- Four. - Hey, Mr. Born. Nice to meet you.
- Three. - Hi.
Two.
One.
Milk and sugar. Black coffee isn't good for the stomach.
It's fattening.
50 milliliters of milk is 30 calories.
A spoonful of sugar is about 100 calories.
I don't want to waste 20 minutes of my time running
to work off this cup of coffee.
It was just a small spoonful.
Ms. Cotillard seems to be quite interested in our designs.
She has had the same expression since the beginning of the show.
She does not truly admire the designs. She is just smiling to be polite.
We still don't know this Frenchwoman's taste.
Wei Wei, don't be so nervous.
It's just retail rights at a department store.
Just retail rights at a department store.
However, it involves Ling Long and DU.
Whoever breaks into the European market first
will be the first to be known as a top international brand.
Listen up.
I absolutely won't lose to Chen Yi Du.
Director Li, General Manager Huo, this is bad.
I don't know what the model was doing
but she sprained her ankle and can't walk.
She's supposed to be on soon. There's no way we can find a replacement.
What do we do? I'm panicking.
Thank you all for coming to watch Ling Long's show.
I hope you feel our performance today was worth your time.
Bravo!
Mr. Chen, what do you think of Ms. Li Wei Wei's designs?
Ms. Li is very skilled.
The color scheme is gorgeous and the accessories are lavish.
It's indeed so beautiful that it dazzles the eyes.
That means you've always admired her designs?
You misunderstand.
I never advocate designs that are flashy and lack feeling.
Of course, those are just my personal values.
After all, a designer's style is often tied to her character and temperament.
It cannot be faked.
You can tell from a design that the designer lacks... feeling?
There is a rumor that you are normally very mean.
You have a nickname, She-Devil.
Is that true?
It's said you haven't been in a relationship for the past few years.
Is there any special reason?
I believe everybody must be curious why I modeled for the show today.
"Tomber L'amour." "Falling in Love."
That is the name of this wedding gown.
That is also how I feel at this moment.
This time, Ling Long's fashion show is not only a testimony to my designs
but also a testimony to the important moment my love blossomed.
Huo Xiao.
Thank you for appearing in my life.
You gave me a love that every woman hopes for.
You've allowed every one of my designs to be filled with passion
and have a soul.
Will you marry me?
Let me be the woman in your life.
Yes.
- How wonderful. (In French) - Yes.
Why not seize the chance?
Tomorrow morning, Ling Long's general manager, Huo Xiao, and I
will have our wedding at Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris.
I'm using this opportunity to invite all of you to our wedding.
Ms. Cotillard, between Ling Long and DU's performances
which is more outstanding?
I admit I am very excited today. (In French)
It is an honor to witness this couple's happy moment.
However, it's not wise to make important decisions
in a moment of excitement.
Moreover, both parties are excellent and have performed exceptionally.
Therefore, I've decided to have another competition in three days.
The top names in the fashion world will be judges along with me
to make the final decision.
Keep it safe. Remind me to wear it before attending an important event.
Okay.
What a big surprise!
That's right, Madam Li. You did such a good job keeping it secret.
I've always thought you and General Manager Huo
were a match made in heaven.
Yes, yes.
Congratulations, Madam Li and General Manager Huo.
I wish you a lifetime of love and harmony and I hope you have children soon.
Do you guys have that much free time?
There's so much left to do!
You have time to come over and suck up to me?
Who is be responsible for the mishap with the show's feature?
I will investigate thoroughly and settle this with you later.
Thanks for your well wishes. I'll treat you to dinner another day.
Wei Wei.
Are you serious about getting married?
I'm serious.
Marriage is an important matter.
- That's why I think we-- - People get married sooner or later.
I'm at that age.
Moreover, besides you, I don't have anyone else to marry.
Why not just marry you?
We trust each other and our relationship as partners is stable.
What's the matter? You don't want to marry me?
No, of course I'm willing. Don't you know how I feel about you?
It's just that I don't think marriage should be tied to profit.
Don't worry about what the people at the show said.
I can remedy that.
Do you need some more time to think it over?
It's not too late yet.
I don't have that much time to consider matters outside of work.
Transitioning from work partners to life partners is a logical step.
- Are you truly happy? - I will be happy.
May we work well together in this new stage of our partnership.
I will make you happy.
Time is tight. I will start arranging the wedding.
- Don't worry about it. - I don't want to hear that crap.
I want to see all details regarding the face-off
in my inbox before 12 o'clock tomorrow.
If you don't have it ready, then have your resignation letter ready.
Congratulations to the two of you.
Ms. Li sure is a leading example in the fashion industry.
Exhibiting your designs at a fashion show isn't fun enough for you.
Now you're even putting your wedding on display.
Today has been a real eye-opener.
The staff of DU can devote a month of time to a competition.
But Director Li can devote a lifetime for a competition.
You're too dedicated.
I wish the two of you harmony.
I look forward to even more spectacular performances
from the two of you at future shows.
- Chen Yi Du, what do you mean by that? - Thank you.
As the future wife of Ling Long's general manager, I accept your blessings
as well as the envy that you've failed to hide.
But, Tiffany, you've really opened my eyes.
As someone who dresses so garishly all the time
and constantly garners attention
you still can't get even a tiny bit of your boss's interest.
It's quite tough on you. That's really impressive.
By the way, it'll be quite cold in Paris the next few days.
You wear so little. Be careful you don't catch a cold.
Li Wei Wei, you--
You should understand the value of what you will get in return.
All you have to do to get them
is just give up on DU in the competition.
In other words, we're asking you to choose Ling Long as the final winner.
You want me to help you cheat in the competition? (In French)
It takes practically no effort on your part
especially in the face of so much temptation.
I want to know why you want to do this. (In French)
Ms. Cotillard.
There are some things you don't need to know so much about.
This has nothing to do with you or Fontaine.
Everything is ready.
Tomorrow morning, you can confirm the outfits for the show.
I already have plans tomorrow morning.
I know you don't have any other plans for tomorrow morning.
Don't tell me you're planning to attend Li Wei Wei's wedding.
As DU's chairman, we will seem low class if you cause a scene at their wedding.
I have no interest in watching their act.
Do you still have feelings for Li Wei Wei?
You've been talking too much today.
Dare to have take me on?
- What's going on? - What's happening?
Starting tomorrow, Li Wei Wei will be Huo Xiao's wife.
You know very well what she truly thinks.
Yes. That's why the wedding can carry on as planned.
You're willing to be manipulated.
Huo Xiao, you sure are noble.
But it's a shame.
The sincerity you invest in her is all in vain.
Because Li Wei Wei is heartless. She will never love you.
You can't have her, but that doesn't mean I can't.
Are you looking for me? I don't think I know you.
It's normal that you don't know me.
I am just a lowly assistant at Fontaine.
No, to be accurate, I am a former assistant.
So why did you want to see me?
Why?
I happened to record a clip yesterday.
I believe you'll be interested.
What do you want?
Not much. Money has been tight lately.
Tell me. How much do you want?
50,000 euros.
That must be a trivial amount to a rich man like you.
What's the matter? Have nothing to say?
At 5 p.m. today, I will hand over the flash drive containing the video
in front of your hotel.
I want to see the money transferred to my bank account before then.
The wedding is at ten o'clock. Go get changed.
I'll wait for you outside.
I got it. Wait for me downstairs. I'll get ready. I'll see you downstairs.
Okay.
Dad.
I'm getting married today.
It's a shame you can't come to my wedding.
You have to bless me with happiness from where you are in heaven.
I will be happy.
I heard something interesting.
When Ms. Cotillard was young, she also proposed to her husband.
Ms. Li, don't you think that's a coincidence?
Mr. Chen, you sure do care a lot about Ling Long's affairs.
It is quite a coincidence.
You clearly knew about it beforehand and used it for your agenda.
You purposely acted out a grand proposal in front of the audience at the show.
So what?
Which law says I can't use it to my advantage?
Besides, the reality is that my proposal was effective.
If Ms. Cotillard knew the truth, would your trick still be a success?
Who would believe I would cheat with marriage?
Moreover, I do want to marry Huo Xiao. I merely chose a fitting moment.
Your pulse is a bit fast.
You're full of lies.
Aren't you afraid of having nightmares on your wedding night?
Li Wei Wei.
I won't let someone like you win.
Then please show me what you're capable of.
Don't be mouthing off in a fit here.
Your phone.
Are there any other copies?
- No. - Is that true?
You'll just have to believe me.
You should pray that I don't use up the money too quickly.
Hello?
What?
I'm sorry.
How could that happen?
Haven't I said it many times?
All right, I'll be right over.
- Let's go to the show venue first. - Okay.
What?
How could that happen?
I'm sorry.
All right, I'll be right over.
Rang, I'm in some trouble. Get some guys for me quickly.
Go to the church.
The target is a flash drive. Take all the flash drives. (In French)
I, Li Wei Wei, take you, Huo Xiao, as my husband.
I welcome a new life with you with the most genuine joy.
As you will use your whole life and love to show me the same.
I also entrust my life to you and put my trust in you completely.
In the past five years, we have experienced many ups and downs together.
Ling Long's every design is a testament to our love.
Today's wedding and tomorrow's fashion show
are also the products of our love.
Have all the outfits for the show ready.
I'm coming back right away to finalize them.
General Manager Huo.
The... the show venue caught fire.
The backstage area burned down.
[Calling...]
Police? There's been a fire at the Louvre Museum. (In French)
It's suspected to be arson.
How could this happen?
I was only gone for a few hours.
How could this have happened?
Do you think this was an accident? (In French)
- I'm sorry. No comment. - Please give us an explanation.
Please don't go. Give us an explanation.
I already called the factories to check inventory
and had them find the earliest flights to send new gowns over.
We should still have a chance.
The ones that were burned were Ling Long's most unique pieces.
I know, but we still have to give it a try.
There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps things will change.
Don't try to comfort me.
Listen, Ling Long cannot lose to DU. Absolutely not.
Oh, right.
This is your flash drive.
You left it in the car when you rushed over here. I kept it safe for you.
Chen Yi Du did it.
It must have been Chen Yi Du.
Have you gone insane?
It's all thanks to you.
Despicable scoundrel! Let go!
You sure are an interesting pair.
You run into another man's arms on your wedding day.
You can't control your woman or your company.
You even let someone burn down your show venue.
You hypocrite. You can't beat Ling Long so you used such detestable means.
Retribution is coming.
Retribution will come to you two.
You use unscrupulous means and stop at nothing.
Even God couldn't stand it anymore. That's why your venue burned down.
Shut up! You set the fire because your heart is burning and you're jealous!
Jealous?
Jealous that you are marrying a woman who doesn't love you?
You!
Let go!
- Let go! - Feeling unsure now?
Call the police. I want to sue him for assault.
Du, are you all right?
Contact the French press.
You don't need me to explain the rest, do you?
Today was supposed to be a joyous wedding day
for Ling Long's general manager, Huo Xiao
and Li Wei Wei, one of Ling Long's designers. (In French)
However, the morning wedding ceremony was unexpectedly cut short.
This seems to confirm speculation
that the wedding was just a ruse to win Ms. Cotillard's favor.
Ms. Cotillard also expresses deep regret regarding this
and states that she will be reconsidering Ling Long's bid to join Fontaine.
The contest between two Chinese bridal designer brands
for rights to set up shop in Fontaine
has experienced yet another dramatic change of events.
This morning, Ling Long's show venue burned down
and DU's chairman, Chen Yi Du, has become the most probable suspect.
He is under police investigation at the moment.
President of Fontaine, Ms. Cotillard
has decided to cancel the upcoming competition.
What are you doing? Let go! Let go!
Somebody help!
Let go!
