What are they saying here?

"Ning is in love."

But that doesn't say

you're gay.

This is not the first time

they say this about rne.

My parents,

they will be very ashame.

Look, don't worry.

Um, you know,

worse comes to worst,

you can just stay here with me,

all right?

I will never act again.

My dream is over.

I was planning

on going to China with you.

Don't you understand

anything?

I have to carry on

my family name.

So what-what

are you gonna do?

Just stay in the closet

forever?

[speaking native language]

Great, you are finally here.

Can you leave us alone?

[wistful music]

[speaking native language]

Such a sour face.

So dry.

Happy face, yeah?

Remember?

This always made you smile.

If you don't look

after yourself, who will?

[phone buzzing]

Ning?

Le petite syrah.

It's what you like,

right?

So how are you doing?

I'm all right.

Look, um...

what I-what I said to you,

that was-that was bad.

I'm sorry.

Gan bei.

[glasses clink]

Go back to China

next week.

On.

Urn, that's great,

going back home.

But before I go,

there's something

I want to do,

something to do with us.

Oh, um...

do you want me

to go with you?

There are many directors

who want rne in their next film,

but they are afraid

of the magazine.

I need to clear my name

before they use me.

So...

can you please,

please help me?

Say something on my--

And tell them

you're not gay?

Something like that.

James, he'll tell you

what to say.

You just have to say it.

Lyan.

Lyan.

Lyan, please!

Please help me.

[gentle music]

[singing] As I lay in the

morning

With the sun on my face

As the new day is dawning

What am I doing

in this place?

And there's no regrets

or sorrow

Just an emptiness inside

As I look

to what's tomorrow

What hurts

is not just pride

It's only natural to defend

We all end up losing

in the end

And I know

when I'm on the run

And all's said and done

I'll live to be the one

Standing in the shadow

of the sun

[music fades]

"Mr. Qi and I

are both tennis fans,

and we share a mutual fondness

of watching Miss Sharapova"?

Why don't they just ask you

to make gorilla noises

and scratch your balls

while you speak?

Don't do it.

Out the bastard.

Ning:
After we took a walk

in the park,

Ning:
After we took a walk

in the park,

we actually made it happen.

[laughter]

James:
Yes?

When is "Springtime

in Nanking" coming out?

It will come out next March

during the springtime.

[laughter]

Next question?

Yes, sir?

Mr. Qi, having been here

for a month now,

how would you compare

New York to Beijing?

Very similar,

full of opportunities, both,

but Beijing, better food.

[laughter]

Anybody else?

reporter:
Miss Song,

what's your take

on New York?

We had a breakfast

at Tiffany?

[light laughter]

We have time

for one more.

Yes?

Recently in the magazine

there was a picture

of you that

stirred up some rumors.

Do you want to

comment on that?

Of course.

You know, the press

has a very big imagination.

It was a normal photograph,

and the photographer use

angle to make me

and my friend look abnormal.

The other person in the photo's

actually good friend of us,

and he is here now,

so I ask him to come up

and tell you the truth.

My Chinese-American friend,

Ryan Fu.

[applause]

Mr. Fu, can you describe

your relationship

with Mr. Qi?

I am gay.

[crowd murmuring]

[camera shutter clicks]

I told Mr. Qi this

the first day we met.

But Ning doesn't

mind rne being gay.

He's a-- he's a type of person

who treats everyone

equally despite their race,

class, or sexuality.

And I think it takes

someone who's very happy

and confident with himself

to be so kind and accepting.

Yeah, uh,

very proud

to call Ning my friend.

No, actually, he's-- he's

like a brother to me.

James:
Two brothers.

Mr. Qi has a flight to catch,

so we have to wrap this up now.

Thank you, everyone,

for coming.

We have tea, coffee, and cakes

waiting for you outside.

Thank you very much.

[applause]

[knock at door]

Thank you.

I hope you're happy.

We Chinese have a saying.

You have to plow

in order to harvest.

You have to give up something

in order to achieve your dream.

[somber music]

[Uplifting music]

[uplifting music continues]

[upbeat dance music]

[singing] I just can't

stop obsessing of

When again

you'll need my love

My love still lingers

I don't know

who I'm supposed to be

Without your company

And I hope

you'll come around

Say it ain't over

I don't know

why you pulled apart

Took half the rent

Stole my heart

My heart won't answer

And though you moved along

you'll see

Our hearts will never beat

The same way

Now bring it back to me

Whoa, oh, oh, I see

And I

I, I, I still feel

You're into

Me and the way

we thought as one

Two broken hearts,

we lived undone

Undone together

I know

you've moved along I see

Our hearts

will never beat

The same way

Now bring it back to me

Whoa, oh, oh, I see

And I

I, I, I still feel

You're into

Whoa, oh, oh, I see

And I

I, I, I still feel

You're into

Our hearts

will never beat

Our hearts will never

Our hearts will never beat

Beat, beat, beat, beat

Beat-beat-beat-b-b-beat

Whoa, oh, oh, I see

And I

I, I, I still feel

You're into

Whoa, oh, oh, I see

And I

I, I, I still feel

You're into

Whoa, oh, oh, I see

And I

I, I, I still feel

You're into
