He's weird.

Country bumpkin.

I can manage,

thank you.

[speaking native language]

So disrespectful.

No, you eat.

[laughs]

Look, Mr. Qi,

we're here to talk about

your styling, so let's just--

No, we meet

at my place tomorrow.

Why don't we just talk here?

We're Chinese, say eat,

no talk, sleep, no speak.

Now no work.

We enjoy eat.

[gentle music]

[tiles clattering,

indistinct chatter faintly]

[doorbell rings]

[tiles clattering,

indistinct chatter]

Hey, Lyan.

[laughs]

Ly, Ly, Ly.

Hey, you want to play?

Uh, you know,

I didn't know

you guys were having a--

a party

or-- um,

I'll just come back next time.

No, no, don't worry them.

We-- we do now.

All right.

[sighs]

So what you have?

Okay, so since

this is your first shoot

and we're introducing you

to the U.S. public,

I, uh, think

something like that.

Hmm.

[speaking native language]

This makes you look old.

This looks like that TV actor.

What's his name?

[laughs]

Mr. Bean, huh?

[laughter]

[speaking native language]

I'll take that.

I'll take this.

You know, we could just meet

at my office tomorrow.

[clears throat]

I-- I can really just

come back another time.

I thought you want to get

to know one another,

play mah-jongg,

drink wine so we can be pengyou,

friends, eh?

I like working with pengyou.

Uh, yeah, no, of-of course.

It's just that, um, I'm not

a very social person, so.

We're both Chinese,

so should help each other.

[indistinct speech]

Mm-hmm, yeah.

On.

My father...

Taken before June 4.

June 4th?

You call Tiananmen Square

[indistinct] Day in West.

Oh, um, was he involved

in the massac--

I mean, um,

was he killed?

No.

My father was in the army.

He was one of the first

to enter the square.

Do you know much

about June 4?

Urn, yeah.

I mean,

I was young at the time,

but, uh, I remember the kids

at school would ask rne

if I was a Communist.

When I was 14 I was

questioned by tourists,

found out the world

saw China very different.

So I think my style

should be very Chinese

because China

not poor anymore.

We are much stronger,

so I-- I don't want to wear

those Western-style clothes.

I want to represent

a new China.

Can you do that, Lyan?

For the new China?

[Amanda Lear's "The Queen Of

Chinatown" playing]

[singing] It was down in

Chinatown

That I met the opium queen

Baby-face

girl from Shanghai

Never smiled

and never cried

She now rules

the underworld

Down in Chinatown

She runs all the opium dens

Down in Chinatown

Bring her your gold

Bring her your worries

And when life gets
