Rosy Business From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosy Business is a 2009 award-winning TVB television drama from Hong Kong produced and created by Lee Tim-shing. The original broadcast was on the TVB Jade network with 45-minute episodes airing daily from April 27 to May 29 in 2009. The final episode was an hour and a half long finale with a special Scoop (東張西望) showing insert, having the whole finale special last for two hours.[2]
Set in Eastern China in the mid-19th century Qing dynasty, Rosy Business tells a story of the mercantile Chiang family and the ambition and jealousy surrounding the issue of who was to own the family business when Chiang Kiu dies. The story surrounds the life of Hong Po-kei, who marries into the Chiang family as Chiang Kiu's fourth wife. She gains ownership of Hing Fung Nin, the family rice shop, and guides the ambitious coolie Chai Kau to rise in the social status ladder.
The script was inspired by the successful CCTV drama series, The Grand Gate Mansion (大宅門).[3] Although the drama was met with mixed reviews in Mainland China due to its vital similarities to The Grand Gate Mansion, the drama was a popular critical success in Hong Kong and was the most successful drama in the first half of 2009. The final week of broadcast garnered a peak at 47 rating points[4] with 3.3 million viewers.[5] It has won numerous awards, including Best Drama at the 2009 TVB Anniversary Awards, Most Outstanding Drama at the 2009 Mingpao Magazine Entertainment Awards, and Most Popular Drama at the 2009 Yahoo! Buzz Asia awards in Hong Kong.
Synopsis
In the mid 1820s, a natural disaster strikes the city of Nantong, tarnishing most of the city's rice fields. Running out of food supply for the citizens, city mayor Hong Chi-wing (Wong Wai Leung) uses the city's military food supply to feed the people. A few days after the disaster, an official from Beijing arrives to the city to check the military supply. Upon seeing an empty trailer, he sentences the Hong family to death. His daughter Hong Po-yin (Sheren Tang) escapes from punishment and becomes a maid in the Prince's mansion, living under the name Hong Po-kei.
Twenty years later, Po-kei reunites with the rich rice merchant Chiang Kiu (Elliot Ngok) at his manor in Wuxi, whom she was betrothed to before the disaster, while the Prince is there for a visit. Chiang Kiu's wife, Yan Fung-yee (Susan Tse) recognizes Po-kei and reveals her identity to the Prince. Chiang Kiu manages to convince the Prince to free her, and marries Po-kei as his fourth wife. He appreciates Po-kei's wisdom and persistence, and decides to entrust his business to her, telling her to find a suitable successor for him before he dies.
Hungry for power and eager to keep tradition, Fung-yee finds every opportunity for her son, the eldest child Bit-man (Pierre Ngo) to be the only heir of the family business. She tries to strip Po-kei from power even when Chiang Kiu's final will reads that Po-kei should be the full owner of the business.
Despite attacks from the family, Po-kei manages to keep the business in good shape. She is impressed with second son Bit-ching's (Ron Ng) intelligence and guides him to become the successor, but her efforts are met with Chai Kau's (Wayne Lai) challenges. Chai Kau seeks vengeance for being mistreated and wants a pay back from Bit-man and the Chiang's family uncle, Pang Hang (Henry Lee). After rounds of battle wits and fights, Po-kei and Chai Kau develop a deep friendship.
Chai Kau appreciates Po-kei's work ethics and pledges his loyalty to her. With their excellent cooperation and quick thinking, the business manages to survive through the locusts disasters and the Taiping Rebellion. Meanwhile third wife, Lau Fong (Kara Hui) and Po-kei become good friends and sisters, to the point that Lau Fong even sacrifices her life to protect Po-kei.
Ok kengkawan TVB fanatics.... drama nih start esok sama ngan E.U...so standby malam esok.... siapkn apa yang patut...popcorn ker kotak tisu ke kalau ada babak sedih ler....atau apa2 jek nak distandbaykn....huhu...awat aku merepek tak abis2....
po-kei bersama tuan nye dlm perjalanan ke sebuah bandar utk hantar beras
tapi dlm pertengahan ...... terjumpa banyak mayat manusia mati kebuluran
po-kei , lakonan Sheren Tang .... nasihat tuan nye tak boleh lagi meneruskan perjalanan mereka
sebab kat depan mesti sangat bahaya ( sbb po-kei ada pengalaman ni masa dia remaja )
tuan dia terima nasihat po-kei dan panggil pembantu dia pi depan siasat dulu
pembantu lepas tinjau kat depan
balik bagitau ... kat depan ada berpuluh2 ribu org lapar kebuluran nak tolak pintu bandar
po-kei dan pasukan pengantar beras tuan nye semua masih x sempat nak bincang apa kene buat
mangsa kebuluran dah dtg kepong mereka
pastu camne po-kei guna cara nye utk selesai kan masalah ni
kene layan mlm esok
pastu
kejadian ni telah menimbulkan po-kei ingat kembali kisah zaman silam dia
semasa po-kei remaja
ayah dia ialah sorg ketua pegawai sebuah daerah
daerah dorg juga pernah menghadapi kes kebuluran camni
semua org kampung kepong rumah dorg bising
ayah po-kei
terpaksa tenteram kan kadan dan bagi jaminan kpd penduduk boleh dapatkan beras utk semua
ni ialah po-kei semasa remaja ( x taw siapa pelakon watak po-kei remaja )
tapi dulu semasa dia remaja, nama nye bukan po-kei
adalah po-yin
ayah po-kei berkeputusan buka 'beras simpanan askar di raja' dan kasi penduduk dulu
tapi di zaman Manchuria
'beras askar di raja' mesti sentiasa pernuh
x boleh suka2 buka dan amik
klo kasi raja taw
satu keluarga mesti kene hukuman mati dipancung
sbb undang ni begitu serius takut bila ada musuh yg serang
askar xdpt makan dan negara jatuh ke tangan musuh
raja akan hantar org mari check 'stock beras askar' setiap 3 tahun
so ayah po-kei rasa masih belum tiba masa nye
buka dulu 'beras askar' dan kasi penduduk kebuluran
mana taw
ntah kerja siapa p bongkarkan rahsia
dah ada khabar berita raja nak hantar org mari check lebih awal
po-yin ( nama asal po-kei )
masa tu dah bertunang
bakal suami dia bernama cheong-kiu
cheong-kiu anak org kaya buat bisnes beras
sorg budak remaja yg baik
po-yin segera pi mintak tolong bakal suami dia cheong-kiu
cheong-kiu setuju amik beras kat kedai dia utk memenuhi 'stock beras askar'
tapi ntah cheong-kiu dpt halangan apa
beras tu x sampai
dan keluarga po-yin semua kene hukuman pancung
cheong-kiu nape x dpt hantarkan beras nye, masih menjadi misteri
po-yin camne larikan diri, siapa yg bantu dia lari, juga menjadi misteri
lepas po-yin lari
segera tukar nama kpd po-kei spy x di kesan
pastu po-kei menjadi salah sorg tukang masak di rumah org kaya
kali ni po-kei mengikut tuan nye mengantar beras
mana taw beras tu adalah hadiah dr raja kpd cheong-kiu yg dah kaya-raya
po-kei sekali lagi bertemu dgn bakal suami dia dulu cheong-kiu yg dah tua
dan setelah cheong-kiu ingat po kei dah 'mati'
dia juga dah kahwin dgn 3 org isteri
Apa yg ko konfiuskn zura woii... igt ko sorang aje boleh layan....
