What gives? Two bottles of whiskey?
Is this necessary? She's a film star.
She must have booze at home.
Why are you pouring them out?
You can exchange it if you bought the wrong bottle. What a waste.
Open the oolong tea.
What for?
Just do it!
This is fun, mixing your drinks in the garbage can.
Let me help you...
What are you doing?
Aren't you drinking with her?
You pour out the wine and put tea back in to pretend you're drinking?
What are you doing?
You're wasting it.
You should let me drink it.
Don't bother me.
It's better with green tea.
This life is but a dream.
Hung... take this order to the kitchen.
Right!
If you have time, take Uncle Leung to see a doctor.
He's beginning to sound very Zen.
He's really acting weird.
I don't get 8 out of 10 things he said.
Boss...
What is it?
Are the customers bothering you?
Why don't I ask Boney to take you home?
I'm telling you why you use pineapple and not apple in sweet and sour pork.
Because apple doesn't belong here.
Just like Kwan and those two don't belong to Fung Ming Gui.
You know Tai-Kwan's true identity?
Yes! Let them go!
I didn't expect you to bring whiskey.
I left two bottles of red wine breathing.
I'm a pain, I only like this brand of whiskey
That's why I brought my own.
Do you mind?
Of course not! Then I'll drink my own wine.
Whatever makes us happy!
Great! Cheers!
Ever since I took over Fung Ming Gui,
I have not gotten drunk with anyone.
Me too.
Except when I had to entertain, Terry won't let me drink.
But I like to drink by myself.
Please don't tell him.
Don't you have any friends?
You wouldn't believe this.
I've been in this business for so long,
but I really don't have any friends.
Everyone in the business is so phony.
Except when I'm working with them,
I never socialize with them,
let alone drink or chat with them.
Same here!
I only see waiters at Fung Ming Gui
That is so boring.
If you ever feel bored and want a drink.
I'll drink with you.
Ditto!
Wait... I had a friend.
We used to chase stars together when I was 14 or 15.
He was really hot back then.
You must know him. The guy who breaks guitars
You must have heard of Nicholas Tse.
I was really poor.
Forget TV, we don't even have a radio.
I only listened to folk songs.
That's really behind the time.
Sounds like you're from another dynasty.
That's why I seldom talk about my childhood.
Because there's nothing much to talk about.
Did you hear that?
Miss Wong is probably the Crown Princess.
Xiao Qian and I used to go for walks or boating.
She definitely doesn't know Nicholas Tse.
Who cares? You're a big star now.
Everyone has a story.
Why bother to ask?
If your hometown is so boring, what do you do?
Nothing much except studying.
Then you must be an A student.
What's your best subject? Science or Geography?
None, except Chinese History.
Really? Prove it.
Sure!
Name the first three Emperors of the Tang Dynasty.
Easy! Emperors Gaozu, Taizong and Gaozong.
What about the Song Dynasty?
Emperors Taizu, Taizong and Zhenzong.
And Ming?
Emperors Taizu, Jianwen and Chengzu.
Brilliant! What about Qing?
Qing...
You were doing great!
What happened after the Ming Dynasty?
Name the first three Emperors of Qing!
I'll let you win if you can name just one.
I had it at the tip of my tongue...
Let me give you a tip, the first Emperor is Emperor Taizu.
Who's the second one?
Or the third? Either one!
Nail her...
Maybe I drank too much.
I have forgotten everything after the Ming Dynasty.
Quit your act, Wong Yi-San.
If you don't know the first one,
you must know the last Emperor of Qing.
That's just common knowledge.
If you can't answer that,
you must be the Crown Princess Bo is looking for.
I'm not the Crown Princess of Ming.
The last Emperor of Qing was Aisin Gioro Pu-yi.
The one before him was Emperor Guangxu.
And before him was Emperor Tongzhi.
And before him was Emperor Xianfeng.
Before him was Emperor Daoguang.
And Emperors Jiaqing, Qianlong, Yongzheng, Kangxi and Shunzhi, right?
Yes!
So what if she can memorize all 13 Emperors of the Qing Dynasty?
Xiao Qian has always been a smart student.
Miss Wong has made a lot of costume dramas,
she must have read about the history of Qing.
Bo is right!
Yes, we mustn't give up.
I'm not lying, I was a brilliant student.
But what's the use?
Until I was 18, I was stuck in my hometown.
But the world outside is completely different.
I can change my own fate.
I want everyone to know me, Wong Yi-San.
Chi, let's have a toast.
Wait... cheers! Cheers!
I'll get the poster in my room for your aunt.
Sandy, I'm sorry!
For what?
I'm giving you a poster, say thank you, not sorry.
No... I'm here because Bo and Tai-Kwan wanted me to question you.
I'm here because Bo and Tai-Kwan wanted me to question you.
They still think you're the Crown Princess.
What?
Hey, you heard everything!
She's not the Crown Princess.
I want you to stop this nonsense right now.
I want no part of your stupid shenanigans.
Miss Chi, don't be reckless!
Miss Chi, let me talk to Miss Wong.
Knowing Qing history doesn't mean she's not from the Ming Dynasty.
Miss Chi!
Sandy, I promise I won't let those weirdos bother you again.
If they do, call me.
I'll get rid of them for you.
Does that mean I can't call you if they leave me alone?
Of course not! Call me anytime you want a drink.
I'll be right there.
Here... cheers!
Cheers! Cheers!
Are you alright?
Come on, Chi! Let's keep drinking.
It's been a long since I have gotten so drunk.
Let's get blasted tonight.
Sandy, where's your hometown?
I'm from Hebei!
Qingxi in Hebei?
Did they call you again?
Fine! I'll show them my I.D. card,
to prove I was born in 1990.
I'm not a Crown Princess from the Ming Dynasty.
While you were in the bathroom,
I looked up Qingxi online via my phone.
The Qingxi Town Government announced their plans for flood drainage,
and migrated the resident to other regions.
People are finally allowed to move back 3 years later.
Which means, from 2001 to 2003, there were no one in Qingxi.
Where did you go?
You said you never left your hometown until you were 18.
I left out something...
No, you were lying.
You were not born in Qingxi. It was an act.
I almost forgot Wong Yi-San is an actress.
An actress who won the newcomer award.
You're really good.
If I'm not mistaken, this bottle of wine won't get anyone drunk.
I didn't know one can get drunk on grape juice, Your Highness.
Miss Chi... why was the phone disconnected?
Did you sense anything suspicious about Miss Wong?
Did she say anything?
Sandy is not the Crown Princess.
She's 100% a city girl.
Give it up and don't bother her anymore.
We should share the Emperor's troubles.
Until we find the Crown Princess,
we're not giving up.
That's right.
You keep talking about finding the Crown Princess,
has it occurred to you she might have gone back to the Ming Dynasty already?
Or she might have ended up elsewhere?
Or the assassins could have killed her in the cloud forest.
If you won't go back until you find the Crown Princess,
are you prepared to stay here for the rest of your life?
Kei, check something for me.
What's so urgent?
Find out what happened to a Ming general called Yuan Chonghuan.
Commander Yuan! Minister Zuo! Xiao Li, where are you?
Cut! I need more explosion.
Put in 2 additional sets and we'll do another take.
Will do!
Fung Ming Gui has been doing business with Yee Hing Woo for years,
You won't trust me with $80K?
Let me talk to your boss. Hurry!
Why are you so worked up, Brother Tai?
Putting in on credit is no big deal.
Go get the goods for Brother Tai.
Brother Tai, let's sit down somewhere for something to drink.
Bo, take the goods back to Fung Ming Gui.
I'm busy.
Let's go.
Brother Tai, I'm running to the toilet.
Shall I go upstairs? Sure!
Are you playing hooky?
I asked Mr. Tong to bring you here.
I wanted a word with you.
You and me?
If it's about Fung Ming Gui,
just tell Chi to meet you at Dynasty.
If I speak to Miss Fong, there's no turning back.
You're not an honest man.
Nothing passes your hands untouched.
Your old man left you Fung Ming Gui,
but you made a profit from everything.
What would happen if the Fongs found out?
Mr. Cheuk, I didn't make a profit.
I just had some cash flow issues.
I'll put the money back soon.
How? Mr. Tong alone is already $80K.
Not to mention the others.
They add up to quite a hefty sum.
Dynasty is now a major shareholder of Fung Ming Gui.
You have sticky fingers.
I must go by the book.
No! Please give me a month to pay back the money.
One week? Give me 3 days!
Three days is quite enough.
Forget it. I took care of it.
What? I can't let you do that.
Consider it a debt I owe you.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
Now you owe me a favor, not money.
I'll let you know when you need to return it
What is Chef Lau doing?
He's been like that since we came in this morning.
He won't answer us like he was deaf.
He has been pacing back and forth for an hour.
Siu-Tung and I are worried about him,
so we've been keeping an eye on him
Bo, I'm glad you're here.
Call Master Tin, ask him to take Chef Lau to a doctor.
Quite right. I'll make the call now.
As expected, the Cao camp is on the move.
Cao Cao chained his ships together.
My Lord, General Guan, General Zhou, I'm glad you're here.
My Lord, please come up.
The Cao troops are on the move.
Look! I have a plan to borrow 100,000 arrows from Cao Cao,
and borrow the easterly wind from Heaven.
We'll soon be able to defeat Cao Cao.
Does it make sense?
Of course!
General Zhou, please come up here.
What do you want me to see?
Can you see how ingenious Cao Cao's chained ships are?
Of course I can.
Cao Cao's troops are seasick,
chaining the ships together can make them steadier.
This is an effective way to reduce their seasickness.
You're quite brilliant, General Zhou.
General Guan!
Me? Yes?
I intend to borrow arrows with straw boats.
Can you prepare 50 straw boats for me?
From where?
There's one over here... and another one over there.
Straw boats?
You intend to burn the chained ships?
Burn them quickly so we can return to camp.
Working with General Zhou
will ensure a sure win.
Chef Lau, let's not play this game anymore.
I'm not Liu Bei, I'm Bo.
This is Tai-Kwan and Siu-Tung.
Don't you recognize us?
Of course I recognize you.
Did I scare you just now?
I'm not crazy.
I was just being sentimental when I think of the past.
Your past include borrowing arrows and burning the chained ships?
Those were events from the Three Kingdoms.
Let's not talk about the past.
I have unrealized aspiration
and that made me uneasy.
Surely you'd understand. Don't you ever think of your past?
What you do mean?
Quit your act!
I knew right away the day Chi brought you to Fung Ming Gui.
You and I are fellow travelers.
Fellow travelers?
You know where we're from?
Where is not important.
I know we're not from this era.
I came here 30 years earlier than you.
For 30 years, I have studied astronomical phenomenon,
trying to find a way to go back.
I believe that day is upon us.
If I can do it, you can too.
You mean you traveled in time from the past?
When are you from? Who are you?
You talked about burning the chained ships.
I don't suppose you are...
Yes, I am Zhuge Liang, aka Wolong.
Everything is confidential before the commercial goes on air.
No press conference or visits by reporters.
No press release either.
I know what to do.
Make sure Uncle Fung doesn't know Sandy is our spokesperson, right
I always knew you're smart.
Auntie Kiu! Daddy!
Auntie Kiu! Uncle Fung!
Ivan, we don't wish to interfere with your decisions regarding work.
But you knew Daddy doesn't like Wong Yi-San.
Why must you provoke him?
I have the profiles of other artistes.
Some are more popular than Wong Yi-San,
others have won more awards.
I have spoken to their agents,
and they have orally agreed to do our commercial.
I'm not picking on anyone.
I just think we have other choices for the first spokesperson for Fung Ming Gui.
Daddy promised me he won't interfere.
That's right! We have signed a contract with Sandy.
If we unilaterally terminate it...
Pay the damages. Dynasty can afford it.
Your Dad doesn't want Wong Yi-San to be our spokesperson.
I will not get someone else.
There is nothing personal about my choice.
I happen to think she's most suitable.
Ivan, stop provoking your Dad.
Let's put the commercial on hold.
Let me talk to Chi.
No! The commercial will proceed as planned.
I'm in charge of Fung Ming Gui on behalf of Dynasty.
I won't let my first project go down the drain.
Cat, tell the ad agency to stop everything.
Right!
Ivan! Daddy!
What did I tell you?
I said you're in charge of Fung Ming Gui.
No need to put anything on hold. Proceed.
Do as you see fit.
Daddy will not interfere.
Thanks, Daddy! Auntie Kiu, thanks for this.
Ling and I will go to our meeting.
We should go.
Ivan, go for it!
Just now, who was so determined
to keep that woman from our son?
Why did you renege?
Did you see the look on Ivan's face?
Such power... he was so manly.
Ivan is a grown man, let him try his hand.
Let's go have tea.
Yes, I am the Crown Princess Guo Qian who got separated in the cloud forest
from Commander Yuan, Minister Zuo and Xiao Li.
Maybe I left the cloud forest earlier,
that's why I came here 5 years ahead of them
I know why you didn't tell anyone.
But why hide it from them?
I told you I want control of my own fate.
I don't want to live in the Ming Dynasty,
marry a man I don't love
or do things I don't want to.
One should be in control of one's life.
If I get to choose between Wong Yi-San or Guo Qian,
I'd rather be Wong Yi-wan.
Can you promise to keep this secret for me?
Please don't tell anyone, not even them.
I'm a woman too. Your secret is safe with me.
Chi!
Must be hard on you.
Not at all. Ceci, can you tell the director
to give me 10 more minutes?
Right!
No wonder they didn't book a makeup artist.
No one knows better than you what women in the Ming Dynasty look like.
Did they send you here to test me again?
You promised you'll stop them.
Since that night we pretended to get drunk,
they never mentioned the Crown Princess again.
I think they're prepared for the worst.
They'll go back to the Ming Dynasty without the Crown Princess.
What is it? You can't part with them?
Yuan Chonghuan, Xiao Li or Zuo Guangdou?
I Googled Guo Qian online,
but there wasn't much about her,
except she was in love with someone she grew up with.
Xiao Li told me you grew up with Bo,
were you two an item?
Life is but a dream, everything is like passing clouds.
Wong Yi-San has nothing to do with Zuo Guangdou.
Heen! Yes?
Don't use high heat.
70% of the flipping is in the arms, 30% in the wrist.
Yes, Shifu!
Master Chu, order for table No. 3.
Right!
Siu-Tung, anything unusual about Chef Lau?
He's been studying the almanac for a few hours.
I asked him what he's looking up,
he told me secrets of heaven must not be revealed.
You think he's really Zhuge Liang?
Hurry up! The customers are waiting.
Tai-Kwan, we're swamped out there, stop chit chatting.
Master Tin, I have something important to report.
We notice Chef Lau's condition has worsened.
Should we notify his family?
My father-in-law told me he found him on the street.
He has no family.
Do you know where he's from?
Beats me!
My father-in-law told me he never talks about himself,
except he'll go back to where he came from sooner or later.
But he has been here for 40 years.
Uncle Man-mo told me before Chef Lau got sick,
he knows everything in heaven and on earth.
He even helped keep the books.
My father-in-law told me he was very smart.
He couldn't hold a spatula when he started,
but he learn my father-in-laws skill in less than a year.
Stop asking questions and get back to work.
Serve table No. 5 when the food is ready.
Yes, Master Tin!
I think it's true.
Chef Lau came from the past like we did.
He's the all-powerful Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms era.
Don't reveal my true identity.
What will people think of us?
They'll think we're lunatics, OK?
October 18?
That's the day after tomorrow.
Siu-Tung, Tai-Kwan, I'm going home.
Going back to where I belong.
Fung Ming Gui is counting you.
Miss Ling, Miss Kei, this is a small token from the three of us.
Please enjoy!
There's no gain with no pains.
Why this treat out of the blue?
It's not out of the blue.
We have something to ask you.
Chef Lau is becoming more incoherent,
and his memory is failing.
I found a way to help him
by talking to him about the past.
We waited for you at the convenient store
so you can tell us more about Chef Lau's past.
Is that it?
He used to help Grandpa in the kitchen
and help us with our homework when he had time.
His Chinese was better than my teacher at school.
He knew poems my teacher didn't.
What poems?
Step out of East Qi Gate,
look into the distance at Dangyin Lane
where three graves are located...
that look very much alike
That's Zhuge Liang's favorite "Songs of Liangfu".
Did he teach you anything else?
Yes, I remember this one...
A cultivated man refines the self by quietude,
and develops virtue by frugality.
Only detachment can one clarify one's will
Only serenity can one attain high aspirations.
"An Admonition to My Son"?
Pardon my ignorance, what is that?
It is a letter Zhuge Liang wrote to his son,
telling him how to conduct himself and serve his country.
There you are. I have waited 2 hours for you
I'm Yuan Chonghuan, Commander of the Imperial Guards in the Ming Dynasty.
I'm Donglin scholar Zuo Guangdou.
I'm Xiao Li from the Directorate of Palace Delicacies.
Greetings, Master Wolong!
Please get up.
Now you know who I am.
After I won the Battle of Red Cliffs,
I was drinking by the river to celebrate.
I missed a step and fell into the water.
When I climbed ashore,
I found myself in the Victoria Harbor.
Chi's Grandpa took me in and put a roof over my head.
We ran into a cloud forest in the Ming Dynasty.
We came out and found ourselves in 2017.
You came here earlier than us.
Have you found a way to go back?
Destiny brought us fellow travelers together
We're all concerned about our own country.
Come here, I'll let you in on a secret.
I watched the stars at night, we can go back.
Really? We can go back to the Ming Dynasty?
When can we go?
The Day after tomorrow.
Six stars of the South Dipper
will swap positions with the 3 stars of the North Dipper
and form a 9-star alignment that occurs once in a 100 years.
This phenomenon will allow us to travel back in time to where we came from.
Thanks for the tip.
I called myself Lau Leung
In memory of My Lord
and Leung is the Cantonese form of Liang.
Lau Leung will disappear as soon as I leave.
You must remember not to leave behind anything
that may hurt yourself or anyone else.
Or you'll regret it forever.
Thank you for your advice.
Commander Yuan! Minister Zuo!
Xiao Li, where are you?
Sandy! Yes?
In this shot, you follow Yuan Chonghuan and Zuo Guangdou into the cloud forest.
Then you'll get separated, OK?
No problem! I know what happened.
Miss Ling, I'm downstairs in the lobby.
Can you come down?
I'm going to Tong Kee to check invoices, not to move the goods.
You don't have to come along.
Whatever you do today, I want to keep you company.
Are you alright? We can go.
Action!
Commander Yuan! Minister Zuo!
Xiao Li, where are you?
Miss Wong!
Bo? What are you doing here?
Goodbye, Miss Wong.
Goodbye? Where are you going?
It's destiny.
Four of us came, but only three of us are going back.
We must not go against the will of heaven.
Miss Wong, we're going back to the Ming Dynasty.
Bo!
Cut! OK! Clear the smoke.
How nice of you to drop by!
You didn't bring anything?
I thought you brought a TLC lunchbox.
Miss Ling, we're only together
because you want me to stay at Fung Ming Gui.
But I'm leaving the day after tomorrow.
I can't keep my promise.
After some deliberation,
I think we should stop dating.
It's best we remain just friends.
You want to break up with me?
Yes. I'm not worthy of you.
You should find yourself a better man.
Do you have any unfulfilled dreams?
Why do you ask?
I don't. When I wrote "My Wish" for class,
I made something up.
I saw a film, the leading actor said,
"if you don't have dreams, you're no different from a salted fish."
I don't want you to be a salted fish.
There must be something. Think.
I want to see snow.
But the timing was never right each time I go away.
Cecil
Sandy? You finished filming?
Hand me your phone.
Here!
Sorry, I can't answer your call right now.
Please leave a message.
Fung Yat-Bo, listen to me.
Not until you find the Crown Princess,
I forbid you to leave.
Stop the car.
What?
Why?
You're acting weird.
Please come with me.
I want to show you something.
Wan Tai-Kwan, what are you doing?
I'm in a hurry to Tong Kee.
I'm going to be late.
Tong Kee can be a pain.
Stand still, don't move!
This is not real snow.
But this is the best I can do for you.
Thank you... for now. I'll take that.
Next time we can go see real snow together.
I'm afraid I can't do that.
Because we're leaving soon.
We're going back to the Ming Dynasty.
