Canvas the Emperor
Episode 14
Haven't you told your dad about Wang Xuefu?
How dare I mention Xuefu?
As long as I mention Xuefu,
he will kick me out directly
without hesitation.
You are so poor.
But Wang Xuefu is poorer.
Why did you say so?
Think sbout it.
She dresses up in front of you every day,
but you say she's weird.
Dress up?
But she looks weird.
Hua Ming,
I think it's time for you to go to the blind date.
It's over the dinner time now.
But Xiang still doeasn't appear.
We made it 1:00 p.m.,
there are still 10 minutes left.
She is a girl.
She must dress up when she goes out.
Wait a minute patiently.
You are a man,
and you should have a great bearing.
Don't piss about anything.
I'm just hungry
and want to have some cookies.
Can't you wait more 10 minutes?
How did I teach you?
As a man,
no matter what happens...
You can't spoil him like that.
Thank you, mom.
Just a cookie.
It doesn't matter.
It tastes good.
Taste it.
Does it taste good?
Hello.
Who are you?
I'm Hua Ming's friend.
He and his parents have changed to another place.
And they let me tell you.
Why don't they tell me?
So where are they?
Follow me, I will take you there.
I think you look familiar.
My name is Tang Zhong. Follow me.
Puti, why do you take me here?
If you don't tell me, I will leave now.
Well, you will know when you enter in.
It's mysterious.
You even make me dress up like this.
What's the matter?
Hua Ming and his parents are in it.
I think you should meet them.
No way. I won't go.
Why?
I kicked his father when I was a child.
I'm embarrassed to see him.
Children are all unsensible.
He won't sink to your level.
Let's go.
No, no, no.
I haven't prepared to meet his parents yet.
Besides,
if I enter in like this,
it will be too abrupt.
They don't say that they want to see me.
If I go to meet them,
what will be going on there?
If you don'y go to meet them today,
there will be no chance for you in the future.
What chance?
Fine.
Don't you want to know
why Hua Ming
is cold to you recently?
That's because his parents
have introduced a blind date partner for him.
What?
Don't worry now. Listen to me.
When we enter in,
tell them about your relationship.
Hua Ming bastard. How dare he not tell me?
He is afraid that you will think at random.
He is not willing to do it.
So, you must meet them today.
I won't.
If he wants to have a blind date, then he just go.
I don't care.
Xuefu,
you...
Are you frightened?
Not a bit.
When was I ever frightened?
OK, I will meet them. It's not a big deal.
Xuefu,
do not have an argument with him.
Be gentle.
This way.
Terrible.
If only I hadn't told her.
What a coincidence.
You are here, too?
What a coincidence.
Hua Ming, who is she?
Hello, uncle and auntie.
Hello.
My name is Wang Xuefu.
I'm Hua Ming's girlfriend.
Hua Ming,
who is she?
My girlfriend.
Uncle, don't you remember me?
I kicked you when I was a child.
I remembered.
No wonder you look so familiar.
I was unsensible at that time.
Sorry, uncle.
I will treat you today for compensation.
Waiter!
Hello.
This way, please.
Thank you.
Where is Hua Ming?
Are't we going to have dinner?
Why are we in teahouse?
Well...
Maybe there is a traffic jam on the road.
Yes, traffic jam.
Then...
Are you together with us?
We will leave when they come.
Hua Ming told us to accompany you.
He's afraid that you will be lonely.
I will call Hua Ming now.
You can have tea.
Let me call him.
Let me call him. You accompany her.
No...
Don't bother.
It won't bother me.
You can't get through on your phone.
Your phone signal is bad.
You stay here.
I...
The tea here tastes good.
It's good.
What's going on?
Li Yu is with her upstairs.
Why aren't you there?
I just went downstairs.
I don't know what excuse to use
to spend time with her.
And I don't know how to explain to her.
What's going on in your side?
Xuefu has gone there.
I dare not follow her.
Judging from her posture,
it's possible they will have a fight.
They are really enemies.
Perhaps,
this is also the training of their love.
I hope that Hua Ming won't die first.
Let's eat.
OK, let's eat first.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Let me help you.
Let's eat.
What are you doing?
Cutting steak.
Aren't you used to eating with chopsticks?
Hello, Miss.
Do you need me to cut it for you?
It's okay.
Please bring a pair of chopsticks for her.
It's okay!
It doesn't matter, thank you.
Uncle.
Today I'm here
to apologize to you formally.
I'll empty it. Be my guest.
I seldom drink.
I'd better drink slowly.
Hua Ming haven't explained to us your relationship.
Today, at first we are going to...
At first, we are going to
have dinner casually
and get togther happily.
It doesn't matter.
Brat,
you don't have anything to say?
The steak is kind of tough.
I don't want you to say it.
Then what should I say?
Talk about your thought.
Dad.
Look at Xuefu. She is presentable,
polite and knowledgeable.
Don't you always like girls like that?
Besides,
she is well-educated and shows good manners.
I... I kind of like her.
Are you sure?
Your name is...
Wang Xuefu.
Xuefu, to be honest,
We
arranged a blind date for Hua Ming.
Really?
That girl's name is Xiang.
She is the daughter of my comrade-in-arms.
My comrade-in-arms and I have a life-long friendship.
Long long ago,
we have already made an engagement for the two of them.
Dad,
it's a new era now,
but you still made a prenatal betrothal.
Shut up.
I know nothing about Xiang.
There is enough time for you to learn about each other.
I don't have spare time to learn about her.
I get along well with Xuefu.
Are you going to tear us apart?
Don't make me into such a terrible dad.
I will give you the chance
to make a choice.
You can continue
with this Wang Xuefu.
But I won't be responsible
for your tuition
and living expenses.
You have to make a living yourself.
You choose your own way.
But I have to warn you,
don't make one mistake
and then make many mistakes later.
I can't act anymore.
Waiter, give a pair of chopsticks.
OK. Wait a minute.
Xuefu.
Uncle.
Auntie.
I respect you,
but I don't agree with your thoughts.
Hua Ming is my boyfriend,
and no one can take him away from me.
Xiang can not.
Other people can not.
And you can not.
I don't know what kind of girl that Xiang is.
But I am a very casual kind of girl.
Since I was a little girl,
I was not a persuasible and good girl.
I can't hear someone forcing me.
And I can't hear you forcing Hua Ming like this.
Hua Ming likes me, so what?
Has he done something wrong?
When he is together with someone he likes,
are there anything right or wrong?
I don't care if there is a life-long friendship
between you and Xiang's father.
It's none of my business.
And it's none of Hua Ming's business.
Yes,
you are father and son,
but you can't make him
pay for your friendship.
You don't let your comrade-in-arms down.
But don't you let your son down?
Have you thought about his feeling?
Is he willing to do it?
Will he be happy?
Uncle, auntie.
I know that I don't speak properly.
And I am selfish.
But I...
I do want him to be with me.
Unless...
Unless he doesn't like me.
Hua Ming,
tell me, do you still like me?
Dad, mom.
I don't mean to make you angry.
I have made up my mind.
I'm going to be with Xuefu.
You...
It's okay if you cut my financial resourse.
I have promised to my friend
that I will work in her convenient shop.
I can make a living by myself.
It's okay. I can raise you.
Dad, mom.
I...
I have made you angry for many times since I was young.
But let me be headstrong again.
I have finally found the one I love.
Please forgive me for the last time.
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
Hua Ming, Hua Ming!
Uncle, auntie.
I have said that it's my treat today.
Goodbye.
Don't be angry.
You and he,
need to find a chance to have a talk.
I have found that
our son really likes that girl.
He don't mean to make you angry.
He has prospeacts now.
He does not have prospects,
but he has grown up.
And he has his own thoughts.
In my opinion,
this girl is good.
When did she kick you?
Why I don't remember it?
When they were kids,
she made Hua Ming put on a dress.
I scolded my son, and she kicked me.
Look at yourself.
You are at such an age now,
but you still remember it.
This Wang Xuefu,
is really rude.
But she is kind of interesting.
No wonder
Hua Ming has such an unruffled air.
It is the first time that
he has behaved like that.
Fine, he is a real man now.
Eat it now.
There is no others here.
Don't act.
Waiter, bring a pair of chopsticks for me.
OK.
Is it too hard
for Li Yu to stay with a girl?
I think so.
Your step just now
killed 1000 enemies
and damaged 800 yours.
What happened?
A woman
should be strict with herself.
I didn't expect that you looks quiet,
but you are aggressive in playing chess.
I am in troule now.
Don't worry. Take it easy.
I failed.
But...
I figured you'd take this step
that will make yourself
in danger of burning good and bad alike.
So I made a trap
to bet on you.
I didn't expect that you are good at playing chess.
It's kind of sinister.
But all's fair in war.
It's interesting to play chess with you.
And you are interesting, too.
My name is Xiang.
I'm Li Yu.
Let's go.
Well...
I called Hua Ming just now.
He said that he would be late for more time.
It's okay.
Do you want to play again?
It's my pleasure.
Let's go.
Are you going to be a third wheel?
Go, go, go.
This Xiang even didn't go downstairs to ask me.
I think they have met each other's match in chess
and are fascinated.
Li Yu
sacrificed for Hua Ming.
That's great.
The problem between Hua Ming and Xuefu has solved.
And single Li Yu
has got someone,too.
My idea
is really clever.
It killed two birds with one stone.
Actually I didn't expect Li Yu would help.
I thought if nothing worked,
I'd like to use a beauty trick.
You are boasting again here.
Do you think that
people all over the world should like you?
Perhaps.
Stop daydreaming here.
Let's go.
Maybe they are not going to need us now.
Let me send you home first.
Tang Zhong.
Why do we have to go back now?
We have done a great thing together today.
Come on. Let's celebrate.
I haven't rehearsed for a whole day.
Fine.
I know you are very busy.
You are star.
I can't afford to waste your time.
Don't say so.
Let's go! Where shall we go?
Usual place?
OK. Let's go.
I tell you,
I hit him in his waist,
and he let go of me right away.
And he was ruduced to piteous cries and wails.
What are you laugh at?
Do I turn red?
Fine. Miss Bai will scold me when I'm back.
Whether your face turns red or not, you smells like beer now.
Can you escape from her?
OK. It's fine.
Who make me be with my little brother?
What's wrong?
Are you dumbstruck?
You have no reaction even if I said you were little brother.
I want to tell you something.
What?
It's the material that Dong Xiaobao is going to release.
I copied it from Ji Weilian.
There is time and investigation on it.
It has begun since long time ago.
So...
We all misunderstood Qiu Yihan.
She might not know about it now.
It's not we that misunderstood her.
It's I.
I framed her.
Don't say so.
That's what anyone would think about it, right?
And we said something bad to her.
But she really listened to third uncle.
She did that to you...
She has to.
If it's only about that,
although I feel sad,
I can understand it.
But I choose to not trust her,
even if we are just friends.
It's not too late for you to know about it now.
You call her and explain to her.
I feel so embarrassedd.
It is I who deleted all her contact information.
You are man.
You should dare to take action and responsibility.
I think if so,
Tang Zhong,
you should explain it to her even more.
Call her.
If you deleted it, I have her number.
You don't have to look for.
I remember it.
The number you dialed does not exist.
Please check it and dial later.
What's wrong?
Do you have the wrong number?
Let me look for it.
There is no need.
From the day when I knew her number,
I have repeated it.
It can't be wrong.
I deleted her.
And she also deleted.
Great.
From tomorrow on,
you get up at 5:00 a.m. and run in the morning.
Have breakfast at 6:00.
Start rehearsal at 7:00.
Lunch and lunch break
are from 12:00 to 1:00 at noon.
And then rehearsing until 6:00 in the afternoon.
Do aerobic exercise at 7:00 after dinner.
We will close the door and turn off the light at 9:00.
Is there any objection?
I object.
OK. Since there is no objection,
in the next few days,
we are going to have a devil training.
The wildcard show is prepared for reborn person.
To live or to die
is our last step.
Are you understand?
Yes, sir!
Does anyone have problem with that?
Here!
Will Mr. Jiang Rulong
come by to visit us?
No.
But
he will go to the wildcard show site.
Great.
Now that nobody
has any problem now,
go to rehearse right away.
Huiyin, you are in charge of monitoring.
Hello.
I haven't asked yet.
Then I will answer it for Miss Bai.
No, no, and no.
Understand?
Why?
What?
Let's go and see.
It's such a big thing.
In one week?
Then you should tell me earlier.
Is this a singing competetion
or a talent show?
Who says that every singer should be creative?
If everyone can reate a song,
why do we need lyricist and composer?
Are you making it difficult for us?
Did I hear that right?
We should create a song for the wildcard show?
Looks like that's what it means.
Make us create a song...
Keep your voice down.
But this is totally an impossible task.
In fact,
not necessarily.
Don't act.
You have heard about that, right?
Emergency meeting.
Don't they make us lie to our fans?
You fans want to see a perfect you.
If you fail,
that will let them down.
This is the best way I can think of right now.
Miss Bai, are there any other ways?
Actually,
you don't have to get too stressed out.
As far as I know,
the rest of the players
who have companies behind them,
are almost same as us.
Everyone has a tacit understanding.
But there will be someone who is trying best to create a song.
Aren't we...
But the company has made a decision.
And the idea is from Mr. Jiang who you care about most.
Now, you only have to memorize the relevant music theory
and creative inspiration
according to the existing songs.
Don't let them down.
You just don't trust us
to create something?
Do we have to lie against our conscience?
But this society
is very cruel.
I don't know what to do, either.
Now,
the concessions we made now
is in order to make more progress in the future.
If you like creating,
it's good.
You can work hard later.
But now, we only have match.
So with all your objection,
I don't consent. I don't agree. No way.
Over.
Let's think about what to do.
What should we do?
Miss Bai has said all.
Tang Zhong, tell us.
Before Miss Bai came here just now,
what did you mean?
Can you create a song?
Impossible.
The closest thing I've done to creating
is to learn a few chords by Ukulele.
And I learned it to deceive in the interview.
Leave it all that.
You are just to make Qiu Yihan happy.
I'm sorry.
Forget it.
She talks without going through the brain.
Go ahead.
Let me reorganize it.
Among the players in the wildcard show,
there is only one player
that is a semi-creative type.
He may have some songs.
But he is not that popular.
And other singers
are set an impossible challenge.
No one is more talented than others.
You're right.
Even so,
it doesn't mean we can win the champion.
Moreover,
the song that Miss Bai prepared for us to the wildcard show
is uninteresting at first.
Since there is a request now,
we can regard it as a chance.
Miss Bai doesn't want the chance,
but we have to seize it.
I think you are reasonable.
Mariposa,
especially Tang Zhong's back
is lack of surprise.
If we keep stable,
we might not live.
I'm just afraid that
if we can't make it a surprise,
it will become a shock.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
Now that I am not Tang Xin
but Tang Zhong,
Why can't we do something interesting?
But we are disobeying their will.
I won't say that again.
Am I in dream or meeting the ghost?
Lend me your fixature.
What are you going to do in the early morning?
Go to park.
Why do you go to park?
