Limelight Years / 華麗轉身

Anything else, Miss Szeto?

No. I'm checking out tomorrow. Put all this on Ms. Wah's room.

OK.

Thank you. Bye.

You want me to leave by tomorrow? I'm going to eat as much as I can then.

I said put everything on Ms. Wah's account.

Lancy, are you looking for Ms. Wah? This is the wrong room.

I wanted to see you, Miss Szeto.

Sorry. Please come in.

You're eating so much?

Ms. Wah ordered it. But she didn't like it.

So I have to finish them.

I know how hard it is to serve her. It must be really hard on you.

Thank you.

Oh, I posted the photo of the plum honey. I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble.

I know it's not your fault. You just acted according to orders.

I won't hold you liable.

You're really so fair and reasonable. Compared to Ms. Wah, you're an angel.

I want to ask you for a favor.

Please give this brown envelope to Ms. Wah for me.

She's staying on the floor above. Why don't you give it to her yourself?

I don't know how to give this to her myself.

Besides, I can never control my emotions whenever I see her.

I understand. She's really good at challenging people's EQ.

For the sake of Lancy, I'll leave this at the front desk for her.

Excuse me...

Miss Szeto, a guest wanted to see you last night.

But it was already midnight. We didn't want to disturb you.

Was it Sean? Did he leave a message?

No. But he's waiting for you over there.

Thank you.

Sean, why are you sleeping here? Why didn't you call me? Ka-ming?

I took the midnight flight here last night. I didn't want to wake you.

How did you know I was here?

I saw on your Facebook. Silly girl. We're going to get married soon.

Why did you lose your temper and leave over such a trivial matter?

I didn't lose my temper. You did.

I didn't. I just wanted you to calm down

and think about why you wanted to buy such an expensive wedding gown.

Actually...

Shhh...You don't need to apologize. I've already forgiven you.

Be good. Pack your stuff.

You're so smart? You've already packed?

I just got fired.

Good. You were destined to leave with me then.

You made Ming Ha so mad.

I'm warning you. Don't joke about her.

Did you leave this bottle of plum honey outside my room?

My wife was your diehard fan. She passed away.

I was just trying to convey her thoughts on her behalf.

It really was you.

What? Is it against the law to follow a star for my wife?

It's not illegal in Taiwan. But you didn't need to be so secretive.

Fong-ying thought Ming Ha gave it to her. She posted a photo on her Weibo.

The other fans thought it was done by Ming Ha's ghost.

Now there's even a rumor that my hotel is haunted.

But I'm magnanimous.

I'll pretend nothing happened on account of Ming Ha.

I'll consider our ping pong game yesterday a draw on account of Ming Ha too.

That's a promise. We're buddies. Just pretend nothing happened.

Hey, I think you still owe her an apology.

I'm sorry.

I should thank you for relating Ming Ha's thoughts to me.

I just did what I should do.

Since this is a misunderstanding,

I want you to take a photo with me to publicly clarify this

and clear Gordon's name.

Law Bun, can you stand next to her? You're like a passer-by.

Stand closer to her. Can you smile please?

Ready. One, two, three. OK.

Let me see. Is it OK?

It's OK. Look.

How did you take the photo? The aperture is wrong.

Look at the beautiful scenery in the back. You should include it in the photo.

You're so unskilled.

Right. It doesn't look that good. Take another one.

OK.

Don't bother. I'll use an app to touch it up for you later.

Don't take another photo.

Lancy? Hello, Lancy. What's UP?

Why didn't you tell me until now? I'll hurry back then.

What's the matter?

At first I had reserved a table for lunch with you two.

But Lancy said she's arranged a lunch meeting for me

with the Minister of Tourism.

She asked me to hurry back now.

She usually tells me a day in advance.

She seldom makes a mistake like this.

Maybe she's busy with her wedding planning

so she overlooked it.

She's management.

How could she let her personal affairs affect...

How did you know she's getting married? Do you know her?

Actually Lancy's my daughter with my first ex-husband.

Lancy never mentioned that.

She keeps a low profile.

She doesn't want people to think that

you give her special allowance at work because of me.

I'm sure you know her competence better than me.

Sure.

I hope you won't fire her because of this oversight.

Please give me face.

Lancy is my capable assistant.

Why would I fire her over such a trivial matter?

Thank you.

Since I've already reserved a table, don't waste it, OK?

Hey, Law Bun, go to lunch with Fong-ying.

What? Just the two of us?

It's OK. Fong-ying, I'll keep the plum honey for you.

You take care of her for me.

Hey...Hey...

Look at this.

Your eye bags are so big. There are so many crow's feet too.

You face has no luster at all.

Done. It's like a face off show.

OK. Post it to my Weibo.

I'm not your assistant. Post it yourself.

You use Weibo, right?

Yes. If possible, please don't tag me.

Tag you?

I don't want my son to see the photo. You don't know how to use Weibo?

This is a petty job for my assistant. I don't need to do it myself.

Then ask your assistant to do it.

I just fired Tik-tik.

You fired her? Why?

For personal reasons.

You're mad at her for posting the photo of the plum honey on your Weibo?

Come on. She had no idea. She's so good to you.

She thought I was taking your photo. She immediately stood up for you.

You hiccuped. She gave you water right away.

She's so good to you.

I pay her.

Is money above everything? You're ungrateful.

This happened because of you.

As a result, I offended my daughter and lost my assistant.

It's posted.

Look. I'll buy this meal. You carry on eating yourself.

I want to go back to the hotel. Miss, check please.

Just a second... I put my wallet in another handbag.

Usually my assistant packs my handbag for me.

You regret that you firing her now? I'm buying.

When you arrive at the junction, turn left. Walk a little further.

Then you'll see another junction. Turn right.

Then you'll see an intersection. Cross the intersection.

Then you'll see the shuttle bus. Get on it.

It'll take you to the hotel, OK?

You're not going to the hotel with me?

I want to take photos.

The battery's out?

Why are you following me?

I want to tour around too. Let's walk together.

Have some water.

Usually your assistant serves you. You go everywhere in a car too.

Great. Now you're panting after walking for just a while.

You're exhausted, right? Do you miss Tik-tik?

How long do you need to take photos?

I just started.

How many photos do you want to take? Why don't you buy a stack of postcards?

I take photos for people who buy postcards. The view is so nice here.

You want to know how long I'm going to spend taking photos?

It'll probably take at least five to seven hours.

What?

In the beginning, Ming Ha didn't want to go back to Taiwan

because she was afraid of remembering her family's accident.

It would make her feel sad.

When she finally wanted to come back,

she was busy taking care of our son and our family. I was busy too.

After our son had grown up and I was less busy in the studio,

and she had free time to come back,

she fell sick.

In the end she didn't get a chance to see her hometown.

I'm not a master photographer,

but I use each inch of my film to take photos for Ming Ha.

This is also the last thing I can do for her.

Do you know The Red House?

The Red House?

The first time I came to perform in Taiwan, I performed at The Red House.

Back then Ming Ha and her family came to my show.

I think she'd have lots of sweet memories there. You should go to take a look.

People performed Beijing opera in this theater during its heyday.

Then there was storytelling, comic dialogues and Cantonese opera.

In the end it even became a cinema.

In between, they asked people to sing in shows here.

I was one of those singers. That night the house was full.

That was my first time singing on stage outside Hong Kong. I was really nervous.

But once I got on the stage, everyone in the audience was calling out my name.

Ming Ha was the loudest.

Flowers will wither and songs will end. Do you remember your promise back then?

A certain star will fall. Will you feel lost?

Who would feel blessed and happy?

Just listen to Sis Fong sing. Just once.

I promise you'll understand what classic means.

Next time Wah Fong-ying holds a concert, I will go with you.

Someday when you miss me, follow my idol for me.

Support my idol for me, and it'll be like I'm there with you all the time.

Such a feeling...

Looking back at the farthest galaxy,

singing thousands of songs to make you feel less lonely.

I hope you will still remember I once sang my feelings and my thoughts.

I once gave before.
