The Legendary Tycoon (传奇大亨)

Episode 3 -

Sister Mi Yan, drink some tea.

Thank you.

Sister Mei Yan, there is something

I have to apologize to you for.

These jade earrings...

These jade earrings? I've found them.

You've found them.

As it turns out, Boss Gu retrieved them in secret

because he was worried that I would give them to someone else.

That is great! I thought it was...

What?

Oh, nothing.

Oh, right. Where is your father?

Why haven't I seen him all day?

The flowers he embroidered are really beautiful.

I want to ask him to embroider more flowers for me.

You haven't seen my father?

No.

I'll go look for him.

Qu Meng, I've just finished school.

I... I bought your favorite green bean cake for you and Uncle.

- What's wrong? - I don't know where my father is.

I groundlessly blamed him and now I cannot find him anywhere.

Don't worry.

Let's go. I'll help you look for him.

- Let's go. - Where are we going?

Big Brother Gu.

Mei Yan, are you all right?

Does your foot still hurt?

It doesn't hurt anymore, but I still can't walk on it yet.

You should stay and rest here.

I can't. I haven't finished filming yet.

I do not want to delay the production because with my injury

nor to make you overspend.

It's all right.

We have already finished filming most of the scenes with you.

I will think of a plan.

We could use a stand-in and film her from behind.

Rest assured, the filming process will not be affected.

Our "San Xiao Qiu Xiang" will definitely be finished.

It will be finished as scheduled.

- Father! - You're back.

You're back. We were looking for you for a long time.

When I went out yesterday evening,

I run into a friend of mine. You are not happy when I drink a lot

so I spent the night at his home.

When I got up in the morning, my head was aching severely,

so I didn't return to the movie studio.

Please apologize to your eldest brother for me.

It's fine, Uncle Qu.

You should rest more, if you are not well.

Father, I'll go get you some tea.

- Sit down. - Don't be too courteous. Sit down.

Dad, come. Drink some tea.

Okay. Okay.

Father, so sorry. Do not be angry at me.

Why would I get mad at you?

Yesterday, I blamed you wrongly.

- I thought... - You thought I was a thief.

Father, I also just had a thoughtless moment.

Just because I like gambling, you don't trust me anymore.

Uncle Qu, don't be mad at her anymore.

She has already felt guilty the whole day.

Don't worry. She's my daughter so I would surely forgive her.

But... from now on...

you must trust your father and even be filial to me.

Father, I know.

Second,

you're going to the company this early?

Eldest Brother, I...

You are going to the hospital to visit Mingyan, right?

I had Maid Tao make her a soup.

Do you want to come with me?

I won't go anymore. Send her my greetings.

Okay.

I heard that this soup is really good for your foot injury.

Thank you.

Will the movie preview continue as scheduled?

Just be at ease and recuperate right now. Do not bother with

the matters of the company anymore.

I really am of no use.

Me being absent has surely caused Brother Gu a lot of trouble.

Don't worry. This matter is not hard for him to handle.

If all problems have been solved,

it wouldn't be just you visiting me today.

Actually, there is really nothing wrong.

Eldest Brother actually planned to come visit you with me.

It is just that before we were about to leave, something came up at the office

so he just went there.

It was also eldest brother that had this soup especially made for you.

Uncle Qu, why are you still not off work?

I am already done with work. I was just about to leave.

Oh, right, I bought some pan-fried pork bun. Do you want to eat with me and my master?

Not anymore. I must rush back home

to do some overtime work. There are still a lot of clothes that need to be sewed.

Bye.

Please. Please go inside.

Yo, Mr. Luo Ding.

Thank you for coming.

Oh, my, Mr. Luo.

I am your avid reader.

All the film critiques that you've written in Celebrity Daily News are all so spectacular.

I really earnestly wish that you can write a more spectacular film critique after watching our 'Three Smiles Qiu Xiang'

and promote this movie to a larger number of readers and let them watch it.

I have always been interested in the films created by World.

I really am looking forward to enjoying this huge production.

You will surely not get disappointed. The movie will be starting soon. Please come in.

- Come, come inside. - Okay.

- Tang Xing. - Hello.

This is the preview of the movie by World Film Company. I think we didn't invite you.

It was Editor-in-Chief Chen of Movie Daily News that invited me here to join in the fun.

Of course, I also hope a lot

that I can see how huge your huge production really is.

Third Brother, how come it has not started yet? I even thought that I was too late.

Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in your classes?

I skipped my classes.

Don't tell big brother.

I just can't wait to see how this film looks

after editing.

Eldest Brother, it is already way past the scheduled time. How come we are still not playing the film?

All the guests are waiting.

We can't play it anymore.

Why?

We have lost one film roll.

One film roll less?

I have already searched the whole editing room.

I still wasn't able to find it.

Lei Bang, what's going on here? How can a film roll just disappear?

Could you have lost it when you were drunk?

What's the use of fighting now?

Let us first take care of this movie preview.

Everyone, so sorry.

Because of equipment failure,

we won't be able to play our film.

We are announcing the cancellation of our movie preview.

I think you must be lying to us.

The World Film Company does not really have the ability to make huge productions.

You kept on exaggerating the productions,

fooling the movie theater businessmen, and occupied the film showing dates

and then just put in some poorly produced film

to be played in the movie screen to fool the audiences to buy movie tickets.

Boss Tang, don't say it anymore. Calm down.

Did I say anything wrong?

'Three Smiles Qiu Xiang' is totally a joke!

I dare bet with you all

that you haven't really finished filming the movie.

Am I right?

It must have been done by Tang Xing.

Or else, he wouldn't have come to our movie preview for no reason at all

and kept claiming that there was something wrong with our movie.

In my opinion, we should go make him pay now.

Second Brother, we don't have any evidences right now.

We should at least find that film robber first.

Lei Bang, other than you and me,

who else entered and exited the editing room?

Yanmei will come to the editing room everyday to learn how to edit with me.

This surely has nothing to do with him so please do not scold him.

What is important now is what should we do with our 'Three Smiles Qiu Xiang'.

We are now one film roll less which means that's missing 1/4 of the movie.

The movie surely cannot be played anymore.

Anyway, I feel that we should

- complete the film. - I agree.

Anyway, isn't the backdrop for 'Three Smiles Qiu Xiang' still there?

We can re-shoot the film

- and make up for the missing scenes. - Re-filming will require a lot of money.

We are already way past our budget, do you know that?

Second, it's fine. Think about it.

If we give up now, that's equivalent to totally losing our the money we invested.

We also wasted everyone's blood and sweat.

I also hope that this film of ours can be shown as soon as possible.

Eldest Brother, how about this?

I will discuss with the movie theater owners

and ask them to preserve our showing date for 'Three Smiles Qiu Xiang'

so as to prevent Tang Xing from taking advantage.

Lei Bang,

are you confident that you can finish shooting this film as scheduled?

In the productions, there surely won't be a huge problem.

What I am worried about now is the leading lady.

Mei Yan's foot just got hurt. I don't know if she's willing to re-shoot the film.

How about this, I'll go look for Mei Yan.

I will tell her about this. Just leave this to me.

Stop getting distressed about it already.

Look.

The sun is hanging high up in the sky.

There is always hope in life.

But today, there are so many dark clouds covering the sky.

There is no sunlight at all.

Can those film negatives really not be found anymore?

How could they have just disappeared like that?

Say... could someone have stolen them?

For the past few days, I have been editing films with Master Lei in the editing room everyday.

I never saw any stranger.

Other than Uncle Qu.

My father?

- That day, I saw Uncle Qu by the stairs. - Uncle Qu,

- how come you have not gone off from work yet. - He was carrying a huge bag.

He said that he was going home to sew them.

That is strange then.

I never saw him bring any clothes home.
