(Initiating a New Era in Broadcasting)

I put in a lot of effort

to invite her to our show.

Although she's not a big hit now,

her popularity
is definitely on the rise.

So, I think it's good to
invite her as our guest first.

Hello.

You're here?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I could have gone and led you up.

(Conference Room)
Hello, Director Lian.

I'm Angie.

Nice to meet you, Miss Angie.

I'm Lian Jingyun.

Let me introduce her to you.

She's the special guest of our show,

a psychological mentor, Miss Liu Xia.

Nice to meet you.

I'll go straight to the point.

I'm very dissatisfied

with the sudden changes to the show.

Can you be more
specific about what you mean?

When you first invited me,

you said you would
put me in the main unit of the show,

right?

Why did it suddenly change?

All of a sudden,

there's a
psychological counseling talk,

and I'm being forced into it.

What does this mean?

Let me explain.

Indeed, there have been
some problems with our show.

But, don't worry.

I can explain.

Let me show you...

I'll express my opinion.

First of all,

I don't have any psychological problems.

My mental health is perfectly fine.

So, I don't need

any psychological counseling.

No, Miss Angie.

Here is the thing.

Calm down.

Let me finish talking, okay?

I know that

you guys have your considerations.

It's about social responsibility.

I understand.

Alright then.

I'm willing to cooperate

with your work.

That's why I'm here today.

Let's talk about the details.

Sure.

If you have any
requirements, please voice them out.

My requirements are simple.

I need a personal stylist and

makeup artist.

Also,

prepare two cars for me.

Coziness is important.

Regarding the shooting location,

it must be a place
with a beautiful scenery.

I want to give the audience a feeling of

going on a vacation.

May I interrupt for a moment?

About the location,

I'll answer you first.

Now,

there is a resort by the West Lake.

It belongs to the Binghai Group.

The environment,
needless to say, is excellent.

The privacy there is also brilliant.

At that time,

they will cordon off an area for us

as our filming spot.

Are you not satisfied with this plan?

Nope.

The director has the final say.

No.

I also need your opinions.

If you still have
any other requirements,

please continue to voice them out.

Okay.

For the questions that
you're going to ask me on the show,

please have it ready for me in advance.

For the questions that I've agreed to,

you can go ahead and ask.

But for the questions
that I do not wish to answer,

please don't ask them.

Then, what can be asked,

and what cannot be asked?

Regarding my personal life with my husband,

you can't ask that.

Please pay attention

to my personal boundaries,

okay?

Alright.

Is that okay?

Then, I'll leave for now.

Hope we have a pleasant collaboration.

Oh my god.

Is this an actress?

Isn't she a queen or something?

Acting like that.

I feel sorry for you, Xia,

for having to deal with

such a difficult person from the start.

Is she a difficult person already?

I've encountered
even more difficult people

in the counseling center before.

Understandable.

You're not an ordinary person anyway.

I find her quite interesting.

There must be some issues

between her and her husband.

There are issues,

but she won't allow us to ask it anyway.

Forget about it.

Don't ask her questions about that.

Ask something else.

But regarding our shooting scene,

I'm really confident now.

The resort provided by the Binghai Group

has such a beautiful scenery.

As for our actress,

she's pretty.

By the way,
don't you think it's strange?

Why is the Binhai Group

so concerned about our show?

You haven't been there, right?

The environment there is really amazing.

You'll know when we start shooting.

Binghai Group?

Alright, I'm coming over right away.

Don't rush me.

I'm out to discuss some matters.

What's the matter?

Why can't we
talk about it in the station

but have to talk here?

Good news never goes beyond the gate,

while bad news spread far and wide.

It's not appropriate
to talk about it in the station.

Did you cause trouble again?

What do you mean
by me causing trouble again?

Why are you always thinking

that I caused trouble?

Apart from causing trouble,

what else can you do?

Fine, fine. You may leave.

Act like I never looked for you.

Bye.

Psychopath.

Fine, sit down.

I really have something to talk about.

Speak up.

Well,

the show...

The show?

Let me tell you, Lian Jingyun.

You can't back out on this.

Liu Xia has put in a lot of effort

for this show.

You can't drop the ball

at such a crucial moment.

Do you want me to say it or not?

Say it.

It's not that I drop the ball,

it's that Angie...

Angie?

Weren't things
with Angie settled already?

Yes, the things were settled.

But after she came,
she presented a bunch of conditions.

She is very demanding.

Fine, okay.

I agreed to all of them

because the production budget is increased.

But when it came to shooting,

she had a lot of demands

on shots and questions.

So now, the result is that

the production budget is increased,

but the
desired effect hasn't been achieved.

I'm stuck in a difficult situation.

Tell me, what should I do?

Their coffee tastes good.

I spoke for so long.

Did you even listen to me?

What are you doing?

What's the rush?

What's the big deal?

You're so lame.

What do you mean?

What's the...

Fine, then tell me.

What should I do?

Go ahead.

Let me ask you.

Why doesn't Angie

act in dramas?

Why doesn't she go on variety shows?

Why did she choose to go on

a psychological talk show like yours?

Well, my show is good.

Of course, she's willing to join us.

Is this even a question?

Because in recent years when she

gave birth and
took care of her children,

her popularity has declined.

She's now using your show

as a stepping stone, Lian Jingyun.

Think carefully.

Do you need her more,

or does she need you more?

Think about it carefully.

I can't say for sure.

Then,

what do you think

I should do next?

Call her now.

Wait.

Send a message instead.

Sending a message

allows her the time to think.

Send a message.

I'll speak, and you take it down.

- Dear An...
- Wait.

- Angie.
- Have you opened it?

Okay, go ahead.

- Dear Miss Angie.
- Dear Miss Angie.

Our project proposal

was rejected by my superiors.

Rejected?

Just continue typing.

Yes.

They want the show's content

to have a higher level of discussion

with fewer restrictions.

However, I am still actively striving,

and I hope for your kind understanding.

Does sending a message like this

actually work?

It works.

Check it for me again.

Take a look.

No, don't send it yet.

I haven't checked for typos.

It's fine.

Just wait.

How can you
just send it?

Get me another cup of coffee.

Lian Jingyun.

The coffee has gone cold.

I want one with milk.

Okay, okay.

Wait a moment.

What's the rush?

She hasn't replied to my message yet.

She replied.

Okay.

Please report to your superiors again.

Regarding the content,

we can negotiate it.

Wow, you're incredible.

Jin Ran.

Is it that you have
an exceptional understanding

of this feeling of being outdated?

Exactly.

It's because I'm outdated

that I'm helping you.

I'm also using your
show as a stepping stone.

I also hope to become popular again.

Lian Jingyun, how about this?

Put me as the co-director

of your show.

Look at you.

You see, I've been trying so hard

to have a chance
of being credited alone once.

And you, you just...

I can promise you

one other thing.

What about this?

I'll buy some good food tomorrow

and cook a delicious meal for you.

I'll treat you well.

If you want more,

let's have a couple more drinks.

We'll have a good chat.

The honor is half of yours

and half of mine.

Don't separate it so clearly.

Lian Jingyun,
you said you wanted to reward me.

These are all things you want to do.

Where is the reward for me?

Coffee, right?

With milk, no problem.

Coming right up.

No rush, no rush.

Don't try to change the subject.

(Wufeng Cheongsam Boutique)

Hello, Miss Liu.

Hello.

You are...

I'm Li Bande from the Binhai Group.

Nice to meet you.

I'm entrusted by Mr. Bai

to invite you

for a psychological counseling.

How did you find out

my psychological center?

Was it through someone's introduction?

No one introduced you.

We don't offer

home visit consultations here.

And also,

it is necessary to obtain the consent

from the patient.

We must have a
face-to-face communication with them.

I'm here to
deliver the message for Mr. Bai.

Is that not possible as well?

I'm sorry.

Mr. Bai hopes that
I can relay the message.

He is not ready for

a face-to-face communication yet.

In that case,
I won't bother you for now.

Goodbye.

(Miss Liu doesn't
offer home visit consultations.)

(It must be a face-to-face counseling.)

Alright.

(Hello, everyone.)

(This is my studio.)

(These are the forms that)

(first-time patients)

(have to fill out when they're here.)

(They contain their basic information)

(and their conditions.)

Everyone,

I have something to say.

Today, this place of mine

is finally near completion.

Everyone here today

is like my own family members.

Thank you all

for your help and support.

Without all of you,

there would be no me,

and this studio would not exist.

Thank you, everyone.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Thank you, Mr. Jia.
- Thank you, Mr. Jia.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Please have a seat.

Everyone, please have a seat.

Let me introduce to you guys.

This.

He's Big Head.

This is my own brother, Wang Yang.

Hello, everyone.

He's very resourceful.

He has a wide network as well.

There's nothing he can't accomplish.

If you have any needs,

feel free to ask him.

He's one of

our own.

He's my own brother.

Come on.

Don't drink orange juice.

Come on.

I've changed it to beer.

Shanshan.

Come quickly and have your meal.

It's okay, it's okay.

Continue to eat.

He's my little brother.

It's okay.

Alright.

Bro.

Have you eaten yet?

Not yet.

There are not enough seats.

I'm afraid I didn't buy enough food.

How about ordering some take-out food?

Wait for me on the side for a moment.

I'll offer some hospitality,

and then I'll come to find you.

Okay, you go ahead.

Sure, sure.

Eat up, eat up.

Put the crab stick
into the soup, quickly.

How is it?

What do you think of this place?

- Not bad.
- Not bad.

Don't hold back on your praises.

Praise away.

(I swear I won't)

(let anyone
point a gun at my head anymore.)

It's chilly outside because of the rain.

I made some ginger tea.

Have some.

Thank you.

(Be careful!)

The clothes in old movies

are quite fashionable.

(I'll be back soon.)

(After I leave,)

(please take care of my father.)

Come in.

What's your name? Qi...

Qi Lianshan.

Qi Lianshan.

You were the one
who had a script meeting

with Sun before, right?

Yes.

(Prosper Like a Tree)
Have you written a script before?

I haven't written a script before.

Did you major in screenwriting?

My major is Chinese.

I have some working experience.

This is a bit troublesome.

But you don't have to worry.

Let's sit there.

Come here.

Have a seat.

Many great screenwriters

didn't major in screenwriting

when they first entered the industry.

They didn't even understand

what a script was.

That's okay.

That's a good habit.

The palest ink is
better than the best memory.

Actually,

being a screenwriter

is ultimately a technical occupation.

A practiced job.

Why did I say earlier

that our profession's threshold

can be high

and can be low?

On one hand, its threshold is high.

If you want fame and success,

and to be well-known,

it depends on your aesthetic taste,

as well as your accomplishments,

right?

It's not that easy, though.

On the other hand, its threshold is low.

Anyone with a normal education,

who can write and compose,

can become a screenwriter.

So, when you're just starting out,

you don't have to feel

so pressured.

I've noticed

that you don't talk much, do you?

Alright,

then let me ask you.

Why do you want to be a screenwriter?

You see, before this,

I used to work in

a publishing house.

But it wasn't really

a proper publishing house.

It was actually a publishing company.

They asked me to plagiarize novels.

To see which novels
were popular at the moment,

and then plagiarize those.

Change the names and stories slightly,

give it a new look,
and then publish them again.

I thought it was just piracy.

I didn't like doing piracy,

so I left that place.

But deep down,

I always had a story I wanted to write.

I want to make it come to life

by being a screenwriter.

Do you know why I'm asking you this?

Why?

Many people in our industry

give up halfway.

Those who can persist

are the ones
with strong determination.

I can see
that determination in your eyes.

Is that so?

My hair is a bit long now.

Don't worry,

we don't write pirated books here.

We write

the stories we want to write ourselves.

This is called original work.

Originality is a torch

that can ignite our dreams.

Are you willing to work with me?

Am I a good choice?

Welcome to

Jia Zhen Screenwriting Studio.

Isn't this too hasty?

Not at all.

I'm good at reading people.

Are you sure you don't
write pirated books here?

I'm sure.

Okay then.

(Hao, let's start from scratch again.)

(We'll complete the final mission)

(and leave Hong Kong beautifully.)

(Mark.)

(We used to risk our lives together,)

(but we never afraid.)

Let me see how you've been writing.

Shanshan.

The...

The

basic format

is not quite right.

Wait a moment.

Do it this way.

You're writing this scene, right?

For example, let me see

where is your setting.

You're in a remote area,

at a mountain cabin, right?

You need to write the location.

Near a remote cabin in the mountains.

Did you have a nightmare?

Sorry, bro.

I fell asleep.

It's okay, it's okay.

Get a little more sleep.

I'm almost done with this paragraph.

Later, after I've finished it,

let's go through it together.

Later, okay.

I'll be done in a while.

Wait for me to finish this part.

Oh my god.

How are you doing?

I'm almost done.

Just one line left.

I think your work is excellent.

Let me tell you.

If I were to write this,

I would definitely

start with the big picture and

think of the storyline from there.

But sometimes,

after the client reads it,

they might feel

that we're using some clichés.

They'll think

these are the tactics

that experienced
screenwriters often use,

which will be criticized.

But when I read what you wrote,

it feels very new.

There are several scenes

that I think are very bold,

really brilliant.

Really?

You really inspired me.

For example, this scene.

You see.

This paragraph is excellent.

Even if I dared to imagine,
I wouldn't dare to put them into words.

I think it's brilliant, Shanshan.

I'm sure the client will really like it.

Really?

Of course it's true.

When have I ever lied to you?

(Story Clues)

Han Bing left home for Maoyuan...

Han Bing left home for Maoyuan

to look for He Shan.

Meanwhile, Ding Ning returned home

and discovered that her
older brother had passed away.

In despair, she
fled from the Ding family.

Han Bing was in danger
when she coincidentally met Ding Ning.

The two joined
forces to eliminate He San.

You, move aside.

What's wrong?

I feel like your script

is missing the focus.

The focus?

This kind of plot

is already set there,

and then the male
and female leads are gone.

They joined forces to eliminate

another unimportant character.

This won't work.

At this part,

there must be an emotional development.

The male and female leads must have

developed their relationship here.

Why did you "stoop" abruptly?

"Stoop" abruptly?

The plot

and the emotions of the characters

cannot be separated.

Write it down in your notebook.

This is valuable information.

Quickly write it down.

The emotions
of the characters and the plot

cannot be separated.

The plot

must develop with the
emotions of the characters,

and the emotions "breed" from the plot.

Have you taken it down?

Alright. I am done.

Okay.

Bro.

In what you've just said,

"breeding" is a term for germs.

It's not for...

Is that so?

And that one too.

It should be "stop" abruptly.

It's not

"stoop" abruptly.

- "Stop" abruptly?
- Stop.

It's not important.

As long as you know how to write it.

You know how to talk back now, huh?

It's communication.

Okay, noted.

- Abruptly stop.
- Yes.

But regarding the word "breeding",

I think this word suits that state.

Think about that situation.

It's quite accurate.

Other words can't
describe that very accurately.

Okay.

Then, write it and let the client see.

Let's see what he will think of that.

Okay.

Bro, don't look at me like that.

I'm a little scared.

Feeling scared?

That's exactly how you should feel.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Lift the toilet seat.

(Special thanks to)

Liu Xia.

Liu Xia.

The movie is over.

Go back to your room and sleep.

You'll catch a cold sleeping here.

Did I fall asleep?

Qi Lianshan.

Are you feeling

upset today?

You can talk to me.

No.

I'm not feeling upset.

Psychology

is actually
a symbol of social prosperity

and civilization.

People, only after satisfying their

certain level of material needs,

will pay attention to

mental health issues.

I just hope that

through this show,

everyone can learn more about

the methods and schools
of psychological counseling.

To let everyone understand more clearly

what psychological counseling is,

that's the most important thing.

So, you mean

you want me to
not care about the content

and just take care of the shooting.

Is that right?

That's fine.

How is that different from

taking away my job?

No, bro.

I just hope

that we can focus more on

our own expertise

and make the show well.

That's the most important thing.

Be honest with me.

Did Jin Ran say something to you again?

No, she didn't.

No? She definitely did.

She just can't stand
seeing me doing well.

If she was jealous of you,

she wouldn't

pay such close
attention to everything you do.

People

only show excessive concern

to the people
and things they care about.

You should learn to
put yourself in other people's shoes

and not always confine yourself

to your little world.

What little world?

Nonsense.

Hurry up and eat.

(Wherever People Gather, Voices Meet.)
Jacob. Jacob, stay still.

Jacob.

What are you looking for?

Jacob.

Come, come. Let's eat some meat.

Jacob, be obedient.

Jacob.

Jacob.

Kuan.

Shanshan.

No.

Kuan.

Why have you become like this?

I...

Jacob, come here.

Come here.

Shanshan.

Kuan.

What's going on?

A passerby.

I was just
helping someone with his dog.

So, your eyes are fine.

They're fine.

Misunderstanding.

Look.

You still look the same.

Do I look rounder?

You've reached a maximum limit.

You're still good with your words.

What are you doing here?

I live here.

You live here?

I always come to this street,

and we've never
bumped into each other before.

This is the first time.

What a coincidence.

It's been five or
six years since we last met.

Yes, it's been five or six years.

Right?

We should really hang out.

Have you eaten?

Not yet.

In that case, let's eat together.

Okay.

Where's a good place to eat?

- You know it well.
- Over there.

Over there?

Let's go, let's go.

Oh, I remember.

There seems to be good food there.

How can you be staying here?

I always come here.

Kuan.

I think you're really funny.

Your project failed, and you blame me.

Jia Zhen, you're amazing.

Where are you going?

Come here. Have a seat.

Let go of me!

Sit down.

Stop arguing here.

There are so many people here.

Listen to me first.

You told me to send the message,

right?

Then, you should
take some responsibility.

Help me come up with a solution now.

Mr. Jia.

Keep your voice down, okay?

Your hands are on you.

Do you have a brain?

I asked you to
send it, and you really sent it.

Besides, Mr. Cao

didn't ask you to pay.

Why are you getting angry at me?

It's not about that.

The money that Mr. Cao transacted

has all been spent.

The new studio required a lot of money.

I'm completely broke now.

I don't have a single penny left.

What do we do next?

We've been working on
this project for over two years.

What do we do from here?

What should you do?

Earn some money.

Keep writing.

Well...

No.

I really don't have any money.

Don't borrow money
from me. I'm really broke.

Then...

Fine.

I know, I know.

Don't talk, let me think.

Do this.

In your script,

make some changes
to the name of the male lead,

and the plot,

and then,

I'll find someone to buy it from you.

Is that okay?

Change the name of the protagonist,

but the story remains the same?

You...

Mr. Cao has already paid.

The copyright belongs to him now.

If I mess up this matter,

I won't be able
to survive in this circle anymore.

Isn't he...

Buddy.

How about this?

You have a wide network,

and you have many ideas as well.

Help me ask around

if any company

is currently looking for projects.

Then, show them the projects.

If anyone is interested in it,

they still need some time

to read the script, right?

As long as they like the project,

let them see if it's possible

to give us some money.

With the money given, I'll continue

to complete the project.

Do you think this will work?

Please help me. Come on.

Yang, here.

You can't just leave me to sink or swim.

It's because it's you.

If it were someone else,

I wouldn't help with this at all.

Yes, I understand.

Rest assured.

If you can solve this matter for me,

both you and Shanshan

won't lose a penny.

Is that okay?

I'll leave it to you then.

Where are you going?

I'm going to find a solution for you.

God bless the good man.

Kuan.

What have you
been doing all these years?

Well, after that,

I followed an experienced director

and worked as a ghost writer for him.

Later on, he stopped shooting,

so I started making web series,

commercials, music videos,

basically everything.

If you want to be a director,

you have to be on set

to learn and observe more.

What about you?

I'm still a screenwriter,

always writing scripts.

If it weren't for our passion,

we wouldn't have made it this far.

Some time ago,

there was a rumor in the industry

about a really good script

called "Pursuit",

and it's said that

Mr. Cao from Huan Hui really liked it,

praising it everywhere.

But what's the use of the praise?

Didn't it still go to waste?

Is it your work?

Yes, I wrote it. What a coincidence.

Actually, don't be disheartened.

Nowadays, a project going to waste

doesn't mean
there's a problem with its content.

It's just the
winter of the film industry.

It's normal for projects to go to waste.

But this Mr. Cao,

he praises you everywhere he goes.

So, what are you writing now?

Taking a break, I guess.

Well, that's great.

Can you write something for me?

Well, here's the thing.

Some time ago,

I started a movie project.

Investment, script, cast,

crew, everything is ready,

and we're about to start filming.

But then the theater chain suddenly said

they're concerned
that this genre is too artsy,

and they worry it won't do well
at the box office.

But the investors assured me

that if I can get

a good commercial film script

within three months,

the investment will still go through.

I'm thinking...

Why not...

It's just that...

Does it sound like a scam?

I can pay you in advance.

Actually, this opportunity

is very important to me.

I hope to have an independent work

as soon as possible.

Although arthouse films are cool,

commercial films are great too, right?

It's a theme you like.

It's about a sports car.

I thought it would
be good if we could collaborate

on a commercial film.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Kuan.

This may not work out.

Jia Zhen

doesn't allow me to take up external jobs.

Did he buy you out?

Don't worry about it.

I thought since we were chatting

and talked about that topic,

I would just ask casually.

I'll think of another solution for this.

If it really doesn't work out,

there's a saying like this,

and I can also be open-minded about it.

Sometimes things are destined to happen,

and sometimes they're not.

I used to sing that back then.

The hotpot restaurant is right ahead.

It's really delicious.

Tonight,

let's not return without getting drunk.

- How about it?
- Sure.

Let's have a couple more drinks.

Let's not talk about
these unpleasant things.

- Alright.
- Okay. Let's go.

So, currently,

you're still writing
while Jia Zhen looks for projects?

Yes, it's always been like this.

You guys have been
partners for a long time.

Yeah, longtime partners.

That's great.

♪Sleeping peacefully behind you♪

♪Dreaming a dream about you♪

♪Returning with you to a very,
very young time♪

♪The rain outside
has been falling for a long time♪

♪You have accompanied me for a long time♪

♪Continuing on♪

♪The evening glow covering your forehead♪

♪Our tightly held hands♪

♪Have withstood countless cold currents♪

♪It is you who have given me♪

♪The entire universe of tenderness♪

♪You are always by my side♪

♪Like stars lying on the moon's chest♪

♪We keep walking♪

♪Just like this, keep walking♪

♪Behind us♪

♪You've been following all along♪

♪Protecting this lifetime♪

♪With your strong and solid chest♪

♪You often caress my forehead gently♪

♪Saying you will accompany me
for a long time♪

♪Until the end of the world♪

♪Embracing each other
at the edge of the sea♪

♪Waiting together♪

♪Embracing you tightly♪

♪Believing in our love♪

♪Will last for a very, very long time♪

♪Still remember the moment we met♪

♪The smile that unintentionally appeared♪

♪Had long been in my heart♪

♪Hidden for a long, long time♪
