The Legendary Tycoon (传奇大亨)

The Legendary Tycoon

Episode 5 -

- I will inform you if there is any letter. - Thank you.

- Bye bye. - Bye bye.

Third Brother, isn't it quite expensive to live here?

How are we able to afford to live in such a grand hotel?

I am just using this place to receive letters.

Letting the clients think that we live here makes us look good.

That lady earlier was quite hospitable with you. Is she your new girlfriend?

If all women that treats me good are my girlfriends, then won't I be too busy?

Let's go.

How is it? The room's not bad, right?

You frequently eat out. That's not healthy.

These are fruits that I newly bought. Eat a lot.

- Thank you. - No need to thank me.

Just look for me in the front desk if you need anything.

Okay. I will go find you.

Singapore ladies are very warm to others. You will get used to it quickly.

Or it could be that you just are too friendly.

There are roasted duck and bananas here. Be careful that you don't get a stomach upset.

Me being like this have saved me a lot of food money.

Oh, right, Third Brother, were you still unable to contact Mr. Wang Ting-an?

Don't know why he hasn't returned yet.

But I also am not lazing around. I have been thinking of ways to get near the movie house owners here.

Yanmei, you're tired already. Get on the bed and sleep first.

I'm fine with sleeping on the floor.

How can that be? I'll go look for Feifei and ask for a blanket.

Wait for me.

Xiao Meng,

I've arrived in Singapore.

Really miss you.

The weather here is hotter.

I just happen can wear the clothes you made for me.

Everything is very unfamiliar to me.

But I already started to get used to them.

The flavor of the food here is very different to Shanghai.

But they are also quite delicious.

The hotel we lived in is also not bad.

The bed is quite soft. It is more comfortable than the one in my house.

The scenery outside the hotel is also good.

Every morning, there are still birds chirping nonstop by the balcony.

Don't feel despair. Yanmei,

deliver these copies to Taichang and Wanbaocai movie houses.

Let them do a test screen first. You must convince them to buy our movie.

I will go ask that movie house owner out.

Don't worry, Third Brother.

Just wait for my good news.

There are a lot of movie theaters here.

Looks like people here really love to watch movies.

And also, there are a lot of Chinese. I heard that they also love to watch Chinese movies.

I believe that if the movies of World is able to enter the market here,

it surely will become very popular.

I believe that the movies of World will be in demand here in Singapore.

Once that time comes were we are able to make some progress, I can already return to Shanghai to see you.

Little boy,

are you alright?

Stinky rascal.

Xiao Yu, the shot wasn't good. Let us do it one more time.

Third Brother.

How was it? Were you able to meet that movie house owner?

I played mahjong with his wife all afternoon but it was a waste of time.

She still was unwilling to help me ask her husband out so we can meet.

Then isn't this Mrs. Zhong playing with us?

Who knows?

When I just arrived here, I discovered that a lot of movie house owners were Chinese so I was quite happy.

I felt then that we are all from the same race so they surely will help out. But in reality,

they all came from different areas to come here and they worked so long before being able to achieve what they have now.

If we want to get a share of their earnings...hard.

Don't worry. I and that Mrs. Zhong are actually very close now.

I will directly go to the movie house tomorrow and look for her husband and try my luck.

- Let's go now. Let us first have dinner. - Let's go.

The two of us now have no more relationship.

Why did you ask me to come here?

You don't plan to fool me again, right?

Is being good friends not a relationship anymore?

I have always been your boss. It seems like that our relationship

has never been as close as what you said.

That's right then. Before, you were my good boss.

From now on, you still will be.

What are you planning to do?

I am just a little woman.

I don't know anything.

I only know how to act.

You know that, right?

I know that you come go as you want.

Let me tell you. Right now, our Longcheng already have a lot of lead female stars.

Who really is the leading lady that sells,

you know it very well. Moreover,

I know a secret of World.

Do you want me to share it to you?

What secret?

The Gu third brother

has already went to Singapore.

This is more or less fine already.

Here, a gift for you.

You had found it for me?

When did you start liking to read novels?

Yanmei also previously read this 'Flowers in the Mirror' novel.

When I was with him, we frequently talked about the stories in here so I wanted to buy one back.

Thank you, Sister Mei Yan.

No need to thank me. I just casually mentioned it with Brother Gu and he then brought one back.

Just treat it as my payment for you in helping me alter my clothes.

Sister Mei Yan, I secretly sent Yanmei away and hid it from all of you.

Brother Gu surely is very angry at me.

He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. After getting angry for a while, it is already now fine.

After all, he is the eldest brother.

He always has to think about the sake of his younger brothers.

And recently, he is worrying about the matters concerning World.

He has really lost a lot of weight that is why he had to ask you to alter his clothes.

Good thing that Yanmei seems to be having good progress there.

Boss Gu can now relax more.

What good progress? I heard that they have already did every possible method

but there were still no movie houses that was willing to play our movie.

But that wasn't what Yanmei wrote in his letters.

He said that everything was going well there.

I think that he just doesn't want you to get worried so he said those things.

Don't tell him too the worries that his eldest brother is facing here

so as not to give him too much pressure.

Actually, I never wrote him any letters back.

Why?

I don't know what to write.

Just write what you want to tell him.

Can I write then that I don't want him to succeed anymore?

That I want him to return earlier?

Then is that really what you are thinking?

Of course not. If those were really what I am thinking,

I won't send him off that day anymore.

Recently, I would dream of Yanmei every night.

I dreamt that he is standing at very high stage, receiving the achievements that he worked so hard to get.

While I...

can only look at him from afar.

It was even so far

that he can't see me anymore.

A woman being able to continue supporting a man from behind

is already good enough.

Moreover, Yanmei is not that kind of person.

If one day he succeeds,

he will never turn his back on you and forget you.

A big celebrity is here.

I should have come here earlier.

What are you doing?!

How can you treat a big female celebrity like that?

Leave.

I was just about to look for you.

Don't anymore. I don't want to see you.

The audience wants to see you.

I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. Are you interested to work with my Longcheng and make a movie with us?

What do you think?

Nothing is impossible.

The World Film Company has stop making movies for quite a long time already.

You don't really want to waste your youth, right?

Stop saying it already. I will never help you.

Don't say it so final, okay?

You think that changing to another place, going to Southeast Asia to grow their business,

World will have hope already?

Don't be as naive as Boss Gu and the others, okay?

How did you know about it?

I have people all over this industry. How can there still be secrets?

Let me tell you.

The audience easily forgets people.

If you keep staying like this, the audience will quickly forget about you.

Think about it well. Come over and film a movie with me.

I will wait for your reply.

Do you need me to accompany you to see a doctor?

This is already the 8th time for today.

No, no need.

I'll be fine after lying down for a while.

Slowly.

Yanmei...

That...were you able to get the address for the billiards club?

I found it already.

You still plan to work?

- How can you do so with your health being like this? - That's right.

Third Brother,

how about just letting me go by my own?

No.

It was hard to finally find out that the owner of Wanbaotai movie house

likes to go there for tea during noontime.

If I don't go,

don't know when will we wait for him again.

Think about it.

Didn't I come to Singapore exactly to help you out?

You cannot keep treating me like a child and place me by your side forever.

Just be at ease to let me go alone.

We can only do so now.

How about this? Go to...

that tailor where I had my suits made and had a suit made for yourself.

Look more presentable. First impression is very important.

Ms. Hu, how come you came here alone today? Where is Mr. Kong?

Have you finished altering the suit of my father?

The third one there. Can I ask you to get it by your own?

Okay.

Stinky rascal...

Are you alright?

What's wrong?

Are you alright?

- I'm fine. - It's you?

How come you are here?

You bumped into her.

Is it usual for Shanghai people to not apologize?
