Episode 21
Back when he was still around,
under the shade of his tree,
Our performance troupe all had support.
Neither the wind nor rain could hurt us.
Now this big tree is gone. (He's saying that his father was like a big tree, always supporting the others.)
I really don't know the future.
I don't know where to go from here.
Ge, if our performance troupe wants to continue going forward,
then we can't keep our heads wrangled in this situation.
Tianci,
from today forward,
we have to do everything we can for the troupe,
to make the troupe's days livelier than it was before.
Only like this,
we will be able to inform father who's in heaven.
Promote the troupe?
Promote the troupe.
Talk is cheap.
Here.
Hence, older brother, let's mutually support and depend on each other.
Right.
depend on each other
What you said is right. We should depend on each other.
This was dads wish, this is my wish as well
When dad was dying, he made it very clear
You're the leader of this troupe.
From this day forward, our performance troupe and I
will only answer to you.
But I'm worried, that my disciples won't obey me.
How can that be? If you didn't
take over for Master,
we would've been kicked out by Manager Ma.
You're already very talented
You are the lead in Dongjiang. If anyone is unhappy with you,
I, DuanTianci, will be the first to stand up and rationale it with him.
But, Older brother, this position originally should've been yours.
I feel like this is an offense to you.
What is there to offend?
The two of us are family after all. Why separate the meanings?
I'm not a narrow-minded person too.
From today onward, you'll live outside, I'll be inside
and I will live here. Let's live
a good and affluent life.
Let's start working.
Brothers and Sisters, when master was will around,
I used to slack off
and was indebted to your care, including Master.
That's why I endured the least hardship in the theatrical troupe.
I'm not as good as you all.
I'm not as hard working as all of you.
Talking about kinship, I'm not as good as Tianci.
But Master has entrusted me with this troupe.
I will not shirk the responsibility. Starting today,
I will no longer be everyone's junior, but the leader of this troupe.
Thinking about when Master was here,
he encouraged us in our debut in Dongjiang.
But when he passed away till now, we haven't been on stage again.
As for me, I acted without thinking and became everyone's so-called famous lead.
But Master has taught us that at Dongjiang
he has seen every famous leads and great performances.
If we did not show our unique and special talents (lit those holdng the bottom of the chest),
how could we have established ourselves in Dongjiang?
The performance is not mine alone. It's everyone's performance.
This troupe...is not only mine. It's also everyone else's troupe.
Master himself is watching us from the skies above.
We, as a whole, must not be an embarrassment for him.
We won't let the Master down!
Promote the troupe!
Tianying.
The weather's so hot, don't overwork yourself. Rest for awhile.
I'm fine, Older brother. This troupe is Dad's life.
Since he passed on the troupe to me,
how can I stay idle?
Aren't I doing this for your sake?
If you really want to do something for my sake,
then don't hold me back.
I'm fine.
Be careful.
Ge. -Quiet down a little.
When are you going to stop?
My arms are going to break.
I keep telling you to practice kungfu but you don't,
At the most crucial moment, you are going to fail? Use more strength to fan.
Use more strength.
Again.
Another glass of Long Island tea.
This is your already your third cup.
I'm not drunk.

Brother, sister has left.
I understand, thanks.
Master Ma don't worry. Let's go drink some tea inside and discuss this further.
Discuss this further?
Just cut to the chase
How much longer are you going to make me wait?
- Boss Ma. - What's wrong?
Miss Tianying, you finally came out. Let's not talk further.
Hurry, let's go. - Go where?
Where? Of course, it's Longfu Theater.
Since Jiu Hong Sui passed away, you haven't started work for days.
The fans are not happy.
They are almost going to lift the ceiling off my theatre.
They don't want to listen to other's performances.
They insisted on listening to your performance. I'm extremely anxious.
Hurry, let's go!
Master Ma, perhaps you don't know
Based on our hometown rule, when a father has passed away,
as his junior, we need to grieve for a year.
Even if we follow the rules here,
we can only start work after at least a month.
Fine.
Wait for a month before you can start work? You are saying it so lightly.
Do you know the total cost of public utilities and manpower for Longfu Theater?
Can you even afford it?
If you are here, you must follow my rule.
What rule?
I would like to listen to it.
Second Master.
I didn't know you were also here
Master Ma, if you would like to hear the truth
I will really talk rules with you.
If I remember correctly,
Tianying already agreed to a 10 and 90 percent split with you.
It's considered goodwill and yielding to you.
Do you still need to force her again?
Is the rule of 10 and 90 percent split the rule in Dongjaing? Are you sure about this?
Is Master Ma the one who made this deal?
Second Master, listen to my explanation first.
Let's not talk about this ten and ninety percent split first.
If Miss Tianying doesn't go on stage for a day,
my Longfu Theater won't have any revenues from the sale of the tickets.
To the both of us, this is not a good thing.
Don't you think so? To add further,
look at the group of people in the theatrical troupe
and the group of people in my theater. How are we going to live?
How about we do this - from now on
From now till the end of the grieving period for Tianying and the rest, the Hong family will pay for all the tickets.
Thank you, Second Master.
Luo Fusheng, are you crazy?
Please don't do this.
Second Master, forgive me for talking too much.
Since you have booked the theater
and there are no performances, what will you be watching?
You care about me?
I just love to listen to her vinyl records, okay?
Alright, alright.
I won't care.
As long as it's a full house at Longfu Theater, you can do whatever you want.
I won't care.
Master Ma, then you've agreed.
I agree, agree.
Now that you've agreed,
let me discuss with you about the Hong family's rules.
Say,
Since it's the Hong family who's watching the performance,
the revenues need to be shared equally.
That's 50 percent split.
No, Second Master. Didn't we already talked about this? How could you just change it?
In the past, you discussed it with the theatrical troupe. It was your rule then.
Since we are paying for the tickets now,
it's according to the Hong family's rule then.
This isn't right. - It isn't right? Master Ma,
I'm telling you the truth
If you follow our rule,
we will come here to listen to the performance. If you don't follow our rule,
my brothers from the Hong family will come here to tear down the place.
Okay, Second Master. Don't be angry.
We will do according to what you said. It's 50-50 split then.
Luo Cheng.
Boss Ma, this is for today's tickets. Count it.
Okay.
Boss Ma, are you really going to count it?
What's wrong? Do you trust my Second Master or the Hong family?
I do. Why wouldn't I trust you?
Tianying, take it.
Second Master, this is...
Since this is a 50-50 split but as for the revenue from the tickets,
Everyday I'm going to give it to the troupe first,
Wait till the performance starts in the evening, come and get it then. Thus, I will have to trouble you, Boss Ma, to come again.
Here
This is the rule of the Hong family?
You are smart. I can tell that you have been in Dongjiang for many years with your set of rules.
Fine, Second Master.
I'll take my leave then.
We're not send you off.
Luo Fu Sheng, you should better take this money back.
Our troupe can't accept this.
I'm not bestowing this money on you. I just happen to be your greatest fan.
Buying a year's worth of tickets is not being extreme, right?
You've already given me this excuse and helped me lots of times before. I can't take this.
Tianying, I know
that because of Old Troupe Leader's funeral,
you have already spent a lot.
If you don't have any revenue for a month, you still have many staff to feed.
When that time comes, how are you going to motivate your people?
You will feel that you have wronged Old Troupe Leader too. Isn't that so?
Moreover, I'm not giving this money to you,
I'm lending it to you.
Wait till when you are back to perform, you need to work very hard.
Not only must you need to be the famous lead in Dongjiang, you should be come the famous lead in the country.
When that time comes, you will need to return the favor and also benefits.
But - Tianying
- Tianying, are you planning not to see me forever? - Xu Xingcheng, I'm begging you. Please stop pressurizing me.
Xu Xingcheng.
What are you doing? Hurry and let me go!
This way, we can be together forever.
Have you lost your mind? Release her.
Luo Fusheng, who gives you the right to lecture me?
I'm still your brother.
If you're still my brother, then
when the day comes, you won't stop me and Tianying from leaving Dongjiang.
If you're still my brother, then
You wouldn't have kept coming closer to Tianying during this period and widen the crack between us.
- I didn't! - You did!
It is already quite clear who the winner of our competition is.
It's me. I have won Tianying's heart.
But why did it have to change in this way?
Isn't it because of you, Luo Fu Sheng!
Xu Xing Cheng, enough!
What difference is there between what you are doing now and those policemen whom you detested in the past?
The difference?
The difference is that I am using violence to serve a just course.
Tianying, I also don't want to turn into this type of person
- Stop forcing me, okay? - Release me. - Xu Xingcheng!
I heard your voices from the courtyard
Murderer, you caused the death of my father.
You have the audacity to provoke us here (lit come to the door to provoke).
and even dare to arrest Tianying?
Murderer. He will face punishment from Heaven and destruction in the mortal realm.
Everyone, please calm down a bit
This is a misunderstanding. Xu Xing Cheng, let me go already.
Xu Xing Cheng, let her go. I'll go back with you.
No. Even if I'm dead I will not let go.
- Alright.
So I've underestimated you, pretty boy.
Looks like you do have some guts.
So even if you die you won't go
Then I will fulfill your wish. You will pay for taking away my father's life.
- Elder Brother. - Elder Disciple Brother. - Elder Disciple Brother.
Does it still hurt?
It's not a big deal. It's just a gun wound.
Your Older brother is not what he cracks up to be. I'm not that fragile as you might think.
That's good. Sorry...
It's all because of me that you got hurt.
This minor wound is nothing. It's just that Xu Xingcheng...
You finally saw his true color today.
Tianying, I beg you. Don't ever contact that Xu Xing Cheng again.
Even if it's the sake of our deceased father and theatrical troupe,
Xu Xingcheng is really someone that's not easy to deal with.
Tianying, the medicine.
Thank you. My brother has superficial wounds from the bullets. He probably doesn't need to be hospitalized.
The doctor said that he can leave after a few tests.
That's good.
Then, if that's all, I'll head out.
Luo Fu Sheng
Thanks for today
No need to thank me. If anything else comes up, let me know.
Police Commissioner Xu, the 1,000 year old ginseng that you sent someone to deliver to me,
I haven't thank you for it yet.
Come, it's a minor matter.
Boss Lin is a very busy man,
How did you find the mood to invite me to have wine with you at the club?
Police Commissioner Xu, you are too serious.
Even if I'm this busy, I still thought I should come to see you. Don't forget,
we are old family friends for generations.
You're right.
The Xu family, the Lin family
and also the Hong family.
The three families are old friends for generations.
It's just that during this time, we've visited each other less and less.
Have you not been having more frequent contacts with the Hong family lately.
Isn't it because of stabilizing my son as soon as possible?
About this, I have a few more things to say.
It looks like the relationship between your two families is a bit delicate right now.
With me in the middle as a brother, it's quite difficult for me to continue.
Police Commissioner Xu. Frankly speaking, if it weren't for you today,
I think our families wouldn't be able to go in the same direction.
Alright, alright. Let's end this part of the discussion.
I heard the Hong family seems to be under extreme pressure from a so-called Xinlong establishment.
Is this really true?
I wonder where this Xinlong establishment came from. They are staking claims in territories in Dongjiang.
It's definitely a great threat to the Hong family.
That's why I say, It's exactly when things reach an extreme, they can only move in the opposite direction.
Prosperity will decay when it reaches the extreme.
Director Xu, what do you say? Is that right?
This... really is a difficult topic to discuss.
Police Commissioner Xu. What if the Hong family goes downhill?
The arranged marriage between both your families
will not be considered as a strong link between the two families.
What Boss Lin says makes sense. I think that
If Ji Kai and Xing Ai,
can get married soon,
wouldn't it be better news? Boss Lin, what do you think?
Of course. A friend in need is a friend indeed
but we should still look at our children's wishes.
If the children agree,
why wouldn't I not think about
claiming kinship with the Xu family, the most powerful family in Dong Jiang?
Come, Police Commissioner Xu. Here's a toast to you.
Okay.
Who let you shoot?
Master Xu, those people from the theatrical troupe were too bold.
They didn't respect you at all.
I saw you were in danger, so I raised the gun and shot the guy.
Young Master, let me tell you. My shooting skills at the police station are second to none.
Young Master, what...?
Do you know what you did today?
You shot at a civilian...who gave you the power (to do that)?
Young Master. Looking at how bold the people from the theatrical troupe was, I was protecting you.
Who were you protecting? Was I in danger then?
Young Master Xu. The young man I shot was holding the pole right before you.
If I didn't take action in time, what will happen if he injure you?
Police Commissioner gave us the highest task to protect your safety.
Even if I were killed, it doesn't concern you.
Idiot! Get out now!
Y-Yessir...
Here. - Boss, I'll take it.
Okay, I have it.
Boss, Boss - Slowly, slowly
Be careful of the steps
OK, there is fine.
Why doesn't Tianying come out to sing when she has a day off?
I thought that she has become the kept mistress of some master and going to be married soon.
I didn't expect them to perform again.
If this Tianying doesn't perform, the performance of others,
no matter how we listen, it's not enjoyable.
- This is major news. - That's right.
Let's tell our old ticket friends quickly.
Look, so many people.
Looks like our theater which has been quiet for a long time is going to be popular again.
That's right.
Our wallets which have been empty for a long time, are going to be fattened soon.
That's right.
[ Dongjiang Grand Theater ]
Tianying. You've practiced singing the whole morning. Take a rest.
Thanks brother.
Younger Brother
We don't have enough rouge for tonight's performance.
Then hurry and prepare some
We don't have any money left. In order for Master to depart gloriously,
everyone forked out their money for that.
We can't even afford to buy rouges now.
It's fine. Tianying, take the brothers and sisters to rehearse now. I'm going to take a loan.
We don't have to worry anymore when our performance starts tonight.
We must not embarrass Master.
Leave them here
What is this?
How come you're here again?
Can you just come in randomly like this?
You are performers but you don't need to change your costumes every day.
The props are also fixed basically. But you need to use quite a lot of rouge everyday.
Today is the day your opera troupe is making a comeback.
These are my gifts. So how, are you happy?
Woah, so much！
These are all really good things!
Truly befitting to be the Second-in-Command of the Hong family. Really very generous.
That's right. There are so many rouges. It will last us for six months.
- As for the balance, we can boil them and eat. - That's right.
Luo Fusheng, you bought too many rouges.
My brother is a rough man. He doesn't know what sort of rouge a girl might need, so he just bought one of each type.
You're very talkative, aren't you?
- There's even this.
I think that the color of this rouge
suits you the best. You like it?
Luo Fusheng, rouges are not solely used by performers.
There are also many women over there who use it often
This, it just doesn't suit me well.
One still needs to be particular about rouges?
Of course.
These, can I return them?
Return them?
Listen carefully. Choose what you need to use as performers.
Keep them and use it. Whatever is not usable, just keep them for your every day usage.
Me? I...
- Give this to me
Come in.
Older brother.
Come in, have a seat.
Eldest Brother, how is it you have time to come see me today?
I came today because of the matter between you and Fu Sheng.
It's not that I find Luo Fu Sheng a bother
He doesn't care about the camaraderie between us brothers and rob me of someone I cherish. He destroyed the happiness between Tianying and I.
Xing Cheng, we all know Fu Sheng. He wouldn't do this sort of thing.
Between you two, there's definitely some misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding...? Where is the misunderstanding?
What fair competition? She belongs to whoever pursues her first.
What's all this about sacrificing his happiness so that Tianying and I can be together?
Luo Fusheng, he talks better than he sings.
Always stumbling us in the dark.
Xingcheng, maybe the situation isn't as you think it is.
Look at me, give Fu Sheng an opportunity to explain himself.
Eldest Brother, it's not that I'm not going to listen to you
It's just that so many things have happened and I'm already thoroughly disappointed by Luo Fu Sheng.
I will never believe in him again
Xing Cheng, we have been brothers for twenty years already.
Have you forgotten?
I haven't forgotten. I just know that if a person's kind/friendly, they will be bullied by others.
Xing Cheng. - Eldest Brother. Don't say any more.
I know what I have to do.
[Long Fu Opera Theatre]
Brother, have some tea.
Welcome, welcome
Welcome
Come, please come inside.
Young Master Xu. Welcome. I'm sorry I didn't go out there to welcome you.
Look, today is Tianying's first performance after being absent for awhile.
The best private seats are all taken. I'm really sorry about it.
The Second-in-Command of the Hong family is right there.
Why not the two of you share a table?
With him at the same table? I don't think that's necessary.
I'll just sit here.
That's really aggrieving to you.
Xiao Song, Xiao Song!
Take care of Young Master Xu's needs.
Xu, if you need anything just call me.
I'm going to go now.
Sit, sit.
Thanks.
What time is it? Why hasn't it started yet？
What's happening?
It's starting, it's starting.
Good! Good!
Father, you were looking for me.
Sit.
What have you been busy with recently?
The film company is in the process of making a new movie.
I'm preparing for it.
Are you really certain,
that you are not actually eyeing the female lead, the young mistress of the Hong family?
Since you were little I've been teaching you
that if you do this for a successful person
You need to place your energy, which is limited, on the most important matter.
Let's not talk about just how bad the relationship is between the Hong family and the Lin family.
No matter what, you're not going to spend so much time on
a woman who will never become famous.
You don't think you're wasting your life?
Father, Hong Lan is always working hard.
I believe that she's an actress with potential.
I have actually done so many things
so that you can become
a successful person.
You shouldn't be paying so much attention to small bits of love and feelings.
Success is really what you need right now.
I know that the power of the Hong family has been weakened lately.
The Xu family has a subtle and delicate attitude towards the Hong family.
I think that the marriage arrangement between Xu Xingcheng and Hong Lan maybe subject to changes ( lit not without variable).
This is our last chance.
Listen to me. Cut away all your attachments of love.
Woo Xu Xingyuan immediately and gain her trust and love. This really is the most important thing to our Lin family.
Do you understand?
I understand.
Don't worry, father. I will separate my work from my feelings.
♫ This shopkeeper is far too attentive ♫
♫ Could I have revealed any of my weaknesses ♫
♫ What could be the reason for all this attention ♫
♫ Could it be. Could it be that I have revealed ♫
♫ my true feelings ♫
♫ Could it be that I have ♫
What's happening?
Everything was well just a while ago.
This...
How come she's suddenly standing there?
Why's she not singing? She was singing well before.
Why's she not singing?
What's happened?
She fell?
Tianying! - Tianying!
Tianying!
She's okay, right?
You're up
My throat
Don't worry, you can still speak
I can still speak...
Drink some water first
How's my throat? What did the doctor say?
Don't worry
The Doctor said that what happened to your voice is temporary,
probably because you've been under much pressure lately
So you must relax a little, don't pressure yourself too much,
understand?
Relax a little, and my throat will be better
Master Ma, I beg you
Please give us some more time. Tianying will definitely get better soon.
