Phantom of the Theatre Page #3

for this film yet?

I do have a choice in mind.

But...

But I don't know if she'll take the role.

Who is it?

Was Mr. Gu talking about me?

I've come to see you, mom.

I've been abroad the last few years.

I studied filmmaking.

I'm about to start on a new film.

I hope you'll be there.

Young Master...

Qiao Jun...

you were so gentle and kind.

Yet you gave birth to

such a stubborn child.

Mom, I promise,

you will be repaid

for your hardships.

Didn't you once say

that no one was kinder

to you than me?

Have I ever said that?

Go on. Fly away.

But don't scream in pain when you fall.

When my film opens,

I'll send you a ticket.

Move those flowers forward. Hurry!

Got it.

Li,

slow down the tracking shot.

- Slower?

- That's right.

Wait until Si Fan speaks.

Sure thing.

Si Fan...

so beautiful even with

such light makeup.

You know how to

please a lady, Liu Kang.

Picking you as the male lead

was a great choice.

Si Fan.

Complimenting each other like this

is pointless.

You know,

I only agreed to be in this film

because the script has

intimate scenes for us.

In that case, please go easy

on me, Liu Kang.

The makeup is ready, maestro.

Would you like to check?

Sure.

The director is here.

Are you two rehearsing?

Maestro.

Du Juan looks lovely.

How are you feeling, maestro?

With the two of you here,

I feel very confident.

It's time for the blessing, sir.

Come place incense at the entrance.

People still do blessing for movie shoots?

I'll be right back.

I'll go with you, maestro.

Would you like to join, Liu Kang?

No, thanks.

I'll get into character.

This way.

Come.

Light the firecrackers.

Ward away the bad spirits for good luck!

Why did it stop halfway?

Mr. Huang said that this theater is haunted.

We're making a film in a new era.

Let's not get bogged down

by archaic traditions.

Right?

Let's start!

Sir.

This theater's history is exactly why

we should follow all the rituals.

We don't want to provoke the spirits.

I may be making a film about ghosts,

but I don't believe in that nonsense.

Let's get to work!

I'm scared, Kang!

Of what? It's just an urban legend.

I'm right here.

Where are we going?

I'm scared of the dark.

It's too crowded and bright down there.

I'm taking you a place

where the two of us can be alone.

A place to be alone?

What are we doing there?

We have to be alone

if we're doing something

that we can only do when we're alone.

You're so bad.

You think I'm bad now,

but you're gonna love me later.

This place...

will do.

Slow down, Kang.

Let's play a game.

You're a playful one.

You're still into hide and seek?

Catch me, and I'll do anything you want.
