"Driver, step on it." "Ryan." "Oh, thank you." "Hey, Tim." "How are you?" "Francesca here yet?" "Oh, she can't come." "She had to go to the hospital." "What the fuck?" "Don't worry." "I'll take care of it." "Janet." "Good morning, sweetheart." "Morning." "You said vampire on a ski slope, right?" "It's not finished, darling." "Still got to add the blue highlights to her cheekbones, see?" "No, it's just too geisha-to-Gollum, sorry." "Bloody hell." "Let me see what else I've got." "Oh, is Gudlaug ready yet?" "She's trying on the furs." " Which one?" " Urn, let's see." "Yeah, we'll have her go with this right here." " Kay." " Thank you." "Actually, hold on." "Janet, can you cut this pattern and put it on her face like this?" "And also on the other side too?" "That looks like an allergic reaction." "Oh, no." "Oh, God." "Why didn't you tell us you were allergic to fur?" "It has never happened before." "Oh, you think she's enjoying this?" "We are screwed." "Um, Tim, let's change models." "No, no, no, we're not changing anything." "The client wants her." "She's gonna wear the fur, all right?" " No, no, don't." " Just-just wear the fur." "You can't make her wear it." "Look, go see a doctor immediately, okay?" "Are you kidding?" "She's not going anywhere." "But she might get permanent scars." "This is my decision." "If she goes, I'm gonna sue you and you." "I'll handle it, okay?" "You go now, all right?" " Did you hear what I said?" " Yes, I did." "I'm fucked." "I'm fucked." "Are you all right?" "I screwed up the last shoot too." "My boss said this is my last shot." "Gudlaug, darling, could you be an angel?" "Beautiful." "Haunting." "Melancholic." "Did you see the latest "Mais Oui" cover?" "Mm-hmm." "Yours will definitely be" " Oh, hey, Eddie." " Hi, how was it?" "Haunting, beautiful, melancholic." "Super." "Oh, uh, Francesca wants to talk to you." "It's got to be about the "Mais Oui" cover." "All right." "The "Mais Oui" cover, I'm going to give it to Eddie." "What?" "But you promised rne this issue." "Stop whining." "I've got something better for you." "This is a perfect match." "Here." "Who's this?" "Qui See-yow Ning?" "What?" "Qui?" "Ki?" "How do you say it?" "I don't know." "Who is this?" "He's an up-and-coming actor in China." "Don't you know him?" "So James is his PH, and he said his film is getting a lot of buzz in the festival circuit, and he needs a makeover desperately, as you can probably tell." "Well, just give it to Eddie." "No, he only wants to work with a Chinese person." "What?" "That's crazy." "You have no idea how much he's paying us." "Now, that's crazy, and it's all in cash." "The story is very powerful." "This thing might actually turn out to be huge." "Let's be realistic." "How big can a Chinese movie get?" ""Crouching Tiger?"" ""Joy Luck Club?"" "Yeah, and what else?" ""Kung Fu Panda!"" "Come here, Missus." "Ah, excuse me." "I can't believe she gave the cover to Eddie." "I didn't get it because I'm Asian." "You'll get it one day." "Yeah, what if I don't?" "I don't know, maybe my parents are right." "In America, Chinese people should only be doctors." "Believe rne, you would have made a crappy doctor." "Yeah, well, at least they'd be proud." "Come on, you're not sleeping on the streets." "I'm almost 30, you know, and... and what do I have to show for it?" "Huh?" "A bunch of designer clothes and... and a couple of spreads in some B-level magazines?" "Stop feeling sorry for yourself." "You're hard-working, you're talented and bitchy, perfect for the fashion world." "No problem." "You got it." "Sure." "Okay." "Good-bye." "He's waiting for you." "Pardon?" "On." "H-h-he's waiting tor us in the restaurant." "And why does he not want to go to the Moxie Club?" "Well, it's his first time in America." "I guess he feels homesick." "Does he even speak English?" "Perfectly." "His mother is a translator tor the government." "And, um, how long is he here for?" "Well, he extended his trip because the first stylist didn't work out." " Wait, I'm a replacement?" " Mm-hmm." "What happened with the first one?" "He said she didn't know anything about Chinese culture." "It's a styling job, not a history lesson." "Well." "Actually, driver, stop here, please." "Thank you." "The restaurant is just down this alley." "James, you got to come with me." "He said he prefers to meet you alone." "My orders." "Well, who does he think he is, Mao Zedong?" "I..." "God knows." "All right, let's go." "Oh, God." "Hi, Mr. Qi?" "Mm." "Oh, Lyan." "Yes, Ryan with an R." "I said the same thing." "Wan." "Sit." "You don't look Chinese." "Oh, why, thank you." "Yeah, some people think I'm half-Caucasian." "American borrow Chinese." "Pardon me?" "Like the pandas, borrow from China, you." "My daughter's a big fan." "We should get a discount." "This should be free." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Eat." "Eat." "What are you doing?" "Washing off the grease." "He's weird." "Country bumpkin." "I can manage, thank you." "So disrespectful." "No, you eat." "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." "Hey, Lyan." "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." "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." "This makes you look old." "This looks like that TV actor." "What's his name?" "Mr. Bean, huh?" "I'll take that." "I'll take this." "You know, we could just meet at my office tomorrow." "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." "Mm-hmm, yeah." "On." "My father..." "Taken before June 4." "June 4th?" "You call Tiananmen Square 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?" "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" "A bit too dreary to stand" "Give a ring to the queen of Chinatown" "Hey, your office is very small." "Well, it certainly feels cramped now." "Do you guys always travel in a group?" "Oh, my fans are more women." "They're very important." "I need women tell me what to think." "Mm, okay." "Hmm, here, try this on, please, all right?" "The titling rooms are outside." "Wear this?" "Yeah, I'm only interested in the concept, okay?" "And if it works out, we can specially design a pair for you made with real silk." "I want to look strong and manly." "And if we get them tailored, you will look strong and manly." "He look like he's in bed." "Or "Come to bed with me because I'm hot."" " Hot?" " Yeah, sexy." "All right, look, Asian men are rarely seen as sex symbols in this country, okay?" "So we're trying something new and refreshing here." "What's he saying?" "Don't listen to him." "Look, just try it on." "It's not gonna kill you." "Urn, too tight?" "Yes, too small." "Well, at least try the pants on." "Here." "I..." "I ask my girlfriend." "What, your girlfriend?" "Why?" " I want her say." " No, no, keep it on." "Let me just take a picture." "Where are you going?" "You guys coming back?" "Shouldn't you be asleep?" "Your baby can't live off caffeine." "What the tuck did you do this time?" "What?" "Ning dropped us." "That fucking homophobe." "I don't fucking care what he is." "I told you before you have to please your clients." "He's going to be interviewed by "Culture Chic" next week." ""Culture Chic?"" "Yes, "Culture fucking Chic," Ryan." "Look, just calm down, okay, Francesca?" "I'll talk to him." "I don't care what you do." "Just fucking fix it." "Hi, urn, 1602?" "Hey, Ning, it's Ryan." "Can we please talk?" "We don't match." "How many stylists do you intend to go through?" "We don't match." "Look, there are only a handful of Chinese stylists in New York, so..." "Wh-James, he said he can find another one." "Well, yeah, a lousy one." "I mean, all the good ones are booked up well in advance, okay?" "So can I just please come up?" "Um, so, uh, you don't want to wear the pajamas?" "No." "We can try something else." "But it has nothing to do with that, has it?" "Is it because I'm gay?" "No." "Well, let me tell you something, okay?" "All the good stylists are gay." "All right, listen, urn, you have a interview next week, so let's just please try and work together." "We are fire and water." "We do not mix." "Fine." "Unless..." "Unless what?" "Unless you don't show your homo side so openly." "My homo side?" "Are you serious right now?" "You must... wait, what do you mean by my homo side?" "You know what I mean." "Ah." "Mm, okay, let rne tell you something." "I might be gay, but I have absolutely no interest in you whatsoever, if that's what you're worried about." "Yeah, I'm what they call a potato queen." "I'm only interested in white men." "I've never slept with a Chinese man before, and I never will, so don't worry." "You're safe." "Deal?" "I... okay." "Okay, thank you." "Fucking biscuit." "So how did you do it?" "Look, this Rosemary's Baby's really fucking up my hormones." "I'm sorry I snapped last night." "Look, Francesca, he hates gays." "I can't work with him." "Ryan, if you want to get ahead, you have to learn how to deal with assholes." "Maybe... maybe you just need to get to know him better." "Let me book you a table, okay?" "Okay." "So you like French food?" "J'adore la cuisine francaise." "I beg your pardon?" "I adore French cuisine." "Good evening, gentlemen." "Would you care to start with a drink?" "Hmm." "'95 Opus One, not bad." "Um, what do you fancy?" "Fancy?" "What do you want to drink?" "Sake." "A sake, sir?" "Do you have it?" "I'm afraid not." "Whiskey then." "I'll have the petite syrah." "Very good choice, sir." "This is a French restaurant." "So?" "In Beijing, Americans, they always order dim sum at a Sichuan restaurant." "What does restaurant do?" "Put dim sum on menu." "So your... your family, uh, what do they work?" "Oh, my father's a lawyer, and my mother teaches art history at NYU." "And they-they don't want you to be lawyer or doctor?" "No, they're not Chinese in that way, no." "And they know that you are... you know, abnormal?" "I'm not abnormal." "Uh, unusual then." "They're okay with it." "I can't imagine any parent being okay their son's..." "I can't imagine you've never worked with someone gay." "We must exist in China." "Yes, many time, but never someone like you, so... no shame." "You know, it's not all that hard being gay nowadays." "You never problem?" "No laughing?" "Well, when I was younger my parents sent me to Sunday School to learn Chinese, and yeah, some of the kids there were stupid." "How?" "They called me names." "Nothing creative;" "things like" "Hate you?" "They'd try to make rne cry many times, but I never cried in front of them." "And that's why I'm so happy to be in this industry where being gay is not just accepted but celebrated, until now." "Hello?" "Hey, Lyan, it's Ning." "Do you know what time it is?" "Oh, you asleep?" "I call you tomorrow." "No, no, no, no, I'm good." "So what can I do for you?" "I, uh, don't know wear what for my interview." "Uh, you go shopping with me?" "About dinner..." "Fucking asshole." "What?" "Urn, no, not you." "I'm sorry." "You... you're busy." "I... good night." "No, hold on, hold on, hold on." "Um, yeah, I..." "I'll go shopping with you." "Oh, you will help me?" "Yeah, I just want you to look good, you know?" "For the sake of "Culture Chic."" "Thanks, Lyan." "Oh, one last thing." "Can you please not bring the tour group?" "Thanks." "There are way more choices in America, huh?" "Made in China, huh?" "So how long have you been with your girlfriend?" "Three years." "And does she buy all your clothes?" "Uh, yes." "Well, you should fire her." "She's not doing a very good job." "Hmm." "Ning?" "Please come here for a second?" "So, um, is your girlfriend gonna visit you anytime soon?" "It's hard for a girl to get a visa." "America no free." "Mm." "She not allow visa before we leave, so we work out it." "Oh, and, uh, what does she do?" "She, uh, won a beauty prize." "Now she wants to be a actress." "Wedding bells?" "She wants, but if I marry, fans not happy." "What's her name?" "Miao." "Miao?" "What is she, a pussy?" "Pussy?" "Urn, yeah, it's, uh, it's a fashion word for, um, stylish." "Yeah, kind of like catwalk." "Pussy." "So you are pussy?" "Yeah, I'm..." "I'm very pussy." "Thanks." "Uh, so is she your first girlfriend?" "Why do you want to know about her?" "Uh, nothing, just..." "just making conversation." "Earlier this year, the Parson family decided they were going to try to survive without using any products made in China." "Without using any products made in China." "Mr. Parson, what inspired you to start this 100% USA campaign?" "Well, I was taking my boys shopping for baseball gear, and we noticed everything in the shop's made in China." "I looked at my boys, and I wondered how could they have any pride or sense of belonging if everything they..." "Did you see that?" "They say made in China is bad for America." " What are you doing?" " I cook for you." "Oh, I said no need for dinner." "Hey, whoever crosses the door is a guest." "Anything you don't eat?" "No cams." "No, no crab, don't worry." "Urn, what does that t-shirt say?" "Central Academy of Drama." "You know, you should just wear that to the interview tomorrow." "Wear this shirt?" "Not very respectful, no?" "I think it says a lot about you." "After all that cash you made rne spend today, you want rne to wear this shirt?" "Ryan, Gus's schedule has changed." "He can only do tomorrow." "The pajamas aren't ready yet, okay?" "Gus is a fucking big deal." "Just embrace it, and don't fuck it up." "Ning, oh, they finally dropped the pajamas off, thank God." "Hey, tell the doorman the Chinese press coming." "Wh... what press?" "They want to interview rne." "No, no, no, no, no." "Gus doesn't allow any press when he shoots, so." "I told them yes first." "They already are waiting outside." "Um..." "All right, let me just ask Gus first, okay?" "Chair goes over there." "Put the chair over there." "Uh, hi, Gus?" "How's it going?" "Is he ready?" "I got to catch a plane at 7:00." "Well, um, 7:00, I didn't..." "Where is he?" "Um, well, he's almost ready." "It's just that, uh..." "well, he was wondering if a very famous public..." "Chinese publication can..." "No!" "Urn, Gus says no." "I know." "He has a big voice." "All right, don't worry." "Let me handle the press." "What are we waiting for?" "He's an asshole, but he takes great pictures." "You'll be fine." "This is not gonna work." "Well, what's the matter?" "Look at his tricking underpants." "Ning, can you just..." "No." "Talk to him in Chinese." "Tell him we can't shoot with his underpants on." "Well, you tell him in English I won't do what he wants." " Ning, please, can you just..." " No!" "Look, this shoot's as important to you as it is to me, okay, so..." "I don't care about American market." "But I do!" "Okay." "But I want everybody out." "Wh... no, Gus doesn't do..." "If he can shout, he can move lights around." "We can't let white devil win all." "Oh, my God, Ning, this isn't a time to get political." "Tooth tor tooth." "He should respect people more." "Gus, he wants everyone out of here so he can..." "All right, guys, this is a closed set from now on, so everyone out except for the, uh-for assistants." " Right." " You heard him." "Let's go." "Out, quick, move, move." "Thank you." "Dex, what time is it?" "4:00." "Are you ready yet?" "Thank you so much for doing this." " Good luck." " Thank you." "Oh, this is no good." "What is wrong now?" "Look at his tricking feet." "You know, I can get Dex." "I can just..." "I got a plane to catch." "Come on." "No, no, no, no, don't you move!" "I'm still shooting." "I hate working with fucking amateurs." "You don't have to do this." "Oh, for Christ's sake, hurry up." "Come on, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" "Come on!" "What the fuck are you doing, giving him a pedicure?" "I thought you people were supposed to be good at that sort of thing." "Shut the fuck up!" "Come on, let's go." "Merde!" "I can't believe it!" "You're fired!" "Well, fine." "Shit." "You can always come to work in China." "China?" "I know many actors there." "You can style them." "I can't even speak Mandarin, okay?" "Good, they like that." "You'll do even better." ""Vogue," "GO," they're all in China now." "You'll start own company." "Here you're just a kid." "In China you are a..." "A lion?" "Yes, Lyan." "Thanks." "That shirt looks really good on you." "Oh, no, it looks better on you." "No, really, no." "It looks good." "Hey, Ning, you ever try weed?" "Mmm." "How do you feel?" "Very..." "USA." "Very USA." "Oh, girl, this is my jam." "Ooh, ooh." "It was night" "And suddenly I felt like dancing" "I took a cab to show me to the disco scene" "He said, "Okay" ""You want to see those crazy people" "Hustling out the door to get into Studio 54?"" "Who is in?" "Who is out?" "Oh, jamma, jamma, jamming" "Who is in?" "" Lyan?" "Lyan" "It's mom." "Oh, fuck." "Open the door." "Open the door." "Mom, I told you to call before you come."

"Your Mama misses you." "Oh, yeah, no, I'm..." "I'm coming with you." "Just, um, I have a friend." "Uh, Mom, Dad, this is Ning." "Hello," "Mr. Fu," "Mrs. Fu." "You speak Cantonese?" "I speak Mandarin." "Oh, you speak Mandarin?" "Please sit." " You want tea?" " Uh"" "Talk to him in Mandarin." "Talk to him." "Go talk to him." "Uh, how are you?" "Good." "Sorry, my Cantonese is rusty." "Why don't we just speak in English, okay?" "Um, so Dad, do you recognize him?" "He's an actor from Beijing." "Oh, actor?" "Um, we saw TV you in?" ""The Legend of the Eagle Blade."" ""Eagle Blade"?" "We've seen it." "You in it?" "You the prince?" " Uh, no." " Oh, you the Genlo?" "Genlo?" "General?" "Genlo?" "Oh, General, I see, but no, I wasn't the General." "Oh, you the monkey?" "Mom, it's a Mandarin TV show." "Oh, it's a Mandarin TV show." "We've never seen it." "Tomorrow we get DVD." "Eat." "Eat."

"It's true." "Actor in China pay good?" " Uh, depend on your name." " How much earn?" "Dad, you can't ask those questions." "Whatever." "you say white people we can't say." "He's [speaks foreign language}" "We can say." "Ning, how old are you?" "32." "32?" "Very good number." "This boy tell us all the time he only see, only date white men, never Chinese man." " Hey,." "That's what you said." "Gay people okay." "White people no okay." "Hiya." "It's true." "Chinese like water, take long time to boil, but once hot, lifetime to cool down." "White man like sand:" "fast hot, fast cold, do not last." "Ning, come with us to visit Lyan Mama." "She love for to see you." "Mama is so smiley." "I can tell." "She finally see Lyan with Chinese man." "Oh, Mrs. Fu..." "I know, I know, I know, see." "Your parent know you are..." "No." "Give them time." "When Lyan little, we no time for him." "After school he go community center all day." "The boys there beat him." "He come home one cut here, one black eye there." "We scold him, think it will make him stronger, more like a man." "He hate us." "Chinese people very old-fashioned, take long, longtime changing." "When Lyan tell us he no like girl, we no talking one whole year." "Then Mama sick." "He know life is short." "We talking again." "Now no problem." "You good Chinese son." "You no want tell your parent because you no want hurt their feeling." "You want to give them hope." "What about no grandkids?" "It's fate." "Some things..." "Are never meant to be." "Ah." " Ah, photo, photo." " I..." "I take your photo." " No, no, no, no, no." " You too, you too." " Yeah." " Next to Mama." "Oh, no, no, really, I don't..." "With Mama." "Eh?" "Aya, next to Mama." "Lyan, Lyan," "Okay, ah." "Okay, ready?" "Why didn't you tell them that we're not..." "Well, you saw how happy they were." "Just let them enjoy it." "They're wonderful." "Yeah, well, now you know he's not a lawyer and she's not a teacher at NYU." "What do they do?" "Uh, they, um-they run a nail salon." "It's where I grew up." "That's why you were so upset at the photo shoot?" "Yeah, yeah, I guess so." "Look, I just..." "I remember them working on people's feet all day long, and I told myself when I grow up I'd never do that." "There's nothing wrong." "It's a job." "I know." "I..." "I know." "I'm a snob." "I bite the hand that feeds me." "Here." "But don't bite me." "Hey, you want to go to a party tonight?" "Look, the only scary thing in there is bad styling, okay?" "Come on." "Oh, don't get hit." "Am I your first Chinese?" "My first Asian ever." "Is it different?" "How do you feel?" "Like a virgin." "This isn't your first time, huh?" "Oh, please, I could tell a difference." "How?" "Well, a straight man moans like this..." "Um... a closeted gay man moans like this..." "Oh, and a queen, oh, she screams like this," ""Oh, Ning, Ning, harder, harder."" "Hey." "So, um, how many?" "A few." "No, not how many men." "How many years have you been doing this?" "Too many." "Not enough." "I don't want to go." "Don't go." "Stay a little longer." "Do you always have to look so pussy?" "Pussy, what do you mean?" "Pussy, it means stylish, right?" "Oh." "Who are you going to meet?" "A man?" "Oh, shit, work." "Come to Beijing." "Can you imagine all the famous actors you can style?" "Your parents, they'd be very proud." "Ta-da!" "Slut." "Perfect." "I'm not like you." "I don't play hard-to-get." "What do you mean?" "Wh... you think I should go with him?" "Well, you don't have a job." "What's holding you back?" "Are you crazy?" "We just met." "Yeah, well, you don't have to move there." "Just take a trip and see if you like it." "Look, don't forget he's still in the closet and he still has a girlfriend, so." "You moved to Kenya for Lakey's dad, and that didn't work out." "But I don't regret it." "Hello?" "Aren't they brilliant?" "Gus loves them." "He has such an unconventional way of working." "You know, he only said those things to get the shots he wanted." "You've done it, kid." "I want you to style the next "Mais Oui" cover." ""Culture Chic" is gonna print them in their next issue." "Oh, and I read your interview." "I can't believe you said all those things about how Chinese goods are destroying America." "James says it's good, bring many attention." "This is very important to me." "Thank you." "I thought you didn't care about the U.S. market." "In China there are many stories that we can tell, but when I have a name in America," "I'll make those stories into movies." "And what happened to showing the glory of the new China?" "China's better." "When I was young I didn't want to think what life would be like when I'm 30, but now always dreaming, dreaming of what I can do next." "China, it will be great." "We have to make it happen." "Any Suggestions?" "Ryan?" "So Ryan just did a shoot with a famous Chinese actor from Beijing, and so this is right up his alley." "Perhaps he needs some more sleep too." "Hey, Francesca, can we talk?" "I expect more from you in a meeting." "So right after the "Mais Oui" cover, you will be working on the spread." "I need a break after the shoot." "Are you serious?" "You finally got the "Mais Oui" cover, and you want a vacation?" "Now is your time." "You know, many magazine are asking about your rate." "Oh, that's fantastic." "Yeah, now with this chinoiserie chic, what is your idea?" "Urn, look, I got to take a week off." "There's something important that I have to do." "What can be more important than your job?" "Do you want more money?" "No." "Is it love?" "Ryan, Mr. Qi is here to see you." "." "Hey" "Did you tell the press?" "What the fuck?" "Why would I do that?" "I don't even know what this stupid magazine is." "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?" "Great, you are finally here." "Can you leave us alone?" "Such a sour face." "So dry." "Happy face, yeah?" "Remember?" "This always made you smile." "If you don't look after yourself, who will?" "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." "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?"
