Practice should have its limits

Even robots wouldn't be able to take it

Didn't you always dislike me?

Why are you still helping me?

If I didn't like you, I wouldn't be giving you my valued plaster

Don't you know how to be grateful?

Oh right

Where's Ting Ting (Du Nian's assistant)?

Why isn't she accompanying you?

Ting Ting went to find the Production Manager (for welfare)

In a few days, we'll be filming the important scenes

I need the swelling to subside

Du Nian, you shouldn't force yourself

In the production team

There's no one to protect me

I need to act well, need to dance well

You still think that no one is protecting you?

Everyday your name is hot on the search engine

Who in the production team does not know your name "Du Nian"

It's exactly because there's such news

that you are all unable to see my hard work behind the scenes

I don't understand, your so-called effort

Why does it have to be seen by others?

Isn't it enough that you act your role properly?

Why do you need to act even in life?

And those news

It's not something you are happy with riling up anyway

Don't explain, or you would have removed this earlier

In any case

You just think that there's a problem with me. Fine.

Please leave. Since you don't like to listen, I won't say any more.

But you should think about it yourself.

You obviously have the talent to act

And can become popular even without stirring gossip.

Remember to change the plaster, a new one per day.

I can't believe she complained to you so soon

I definitely underestimated her speed

Speak

Aren't you here for the purpose of scolding me?

Scold me then

So after so many years

of friendship

I have now lost even the right to make you angry

Shen Xun

You're being too sensitive

It's not like it's your first day knowing me

It's also not my first day being sensitive

Shen Xun, listen to me

I now have neither the time nor energy to handle matters of the heart

So

I'm asking you not to target Ji Xiao Xing

After so many years, there have been so many distractions that have appeared by your side

yet none of them was able to affect your emotions

you can't even remember their names!

but today you actually

actually came to talk to me for Ji Xiao Xing's sake

Even you'll have a day like today

Xin Yuan Ling, even you have emotions, even you'll be worried

No, I'm not worried

If it were the you from before, you would definitely not have found me

You would have pretended that nothing has happened

and intentionally left yourself out of the picture

But Yuan Ling, do you know?

I'd rather you were like before,

Pretending that nothing has happened

Leaving yourself out of the narrative

Is it possible?

Teacher Su (respectful way to address senior actors) Xiao Xue!

What have you been doing?

I went to grab some food

Are all these for Teacher Shen?

Teacher Su, I'm leaving first

Xun Jie (elder sister)! No, no, no, we're not filming anymore

No, no, why aren't we filming all of a sudden?

Why do you care? It's none of your business

Of course it's my business, I have scenes in the afternoon

Then I'm very sorry, I'm not feeling well and am not filming Don't you love acting?

You can act all you want by yourself!

You can just edit me in post-production!

No, you, you, come back!

Shen Xun

I don't care if you're a superstar or a goddess

Can you have more professionalism?

I'm warning you, don't stop me

Or you bearing the brunt of this, you asked for it!

I'm not stopping you, I'm doing this for the show

There are so many workers in the team

If you just leave as you please, are we all to wait for you?

Besides, look at how you look now, in the pink of health!

Where exactly are you sick?

And if you are sick, you can still eat so much

You are an actress, Shen Xun

Calling for take-out of Smelly Tofu as supper, I won't nitpick that issue

but to overeat in the day as well, you need to monitor your image What if you become fat? Are you still able to continue acting?

You're the one who wants to be a vase (wallflower: look pretty)

Can you just let me

Just because I have to partner with you Drama King

I bought books left and right, but I still can't understand them

Every day I eat

a diet that is more vegetarian than a lamb! And you all still call me a vase (pretty face)

You think I want to be a vase?

You think when you all criticise me, I don't feel hurt?

Fine, I am a vase. So what?

As a vase I'm not expected to be reliable

Today this vase will just ignore this huge Drama King that is you!

You, king of double-layered insoles!

Xun Jie

How can she tell I am wearing insoles?

Auntie

Please let me borrow the broom. Go ahead.

But the production team has approved one day's leave for Xun Jie.

After the advertisement filming, she has to return to the team

otherwise any consequences,

Or any losses to the production team all have to be borne by Rui Zhong (Shen Xun's company)

According to page 100 of the Law of the Republic of China

What did Jiang Ye say?

She asked me about my mum's well-being

Director Ye

I already let the production team host a meeting

to adjust the shootings for the next three days

to film the scenes without Shen Xun first

But after all, she is the female lead and has too many scenes

Three days

is the most I can wait

Where are you going?

Although Shen Xun has officially left the team to film a commercial

but if I don't appear

I'm afraid she won't be back

I'm leaving.

Why isn't anyone around?

What time is it now?

Director Ye

I don't have a watch

Ok, I will call the production team

Director Ye

There's trouble

What's wrong? The production team is on strike.

Hello, Jiang Ye

Is Shen Xun at home?

I will be reaching in approximately half an hour.

Yes

I know her habits

She doesn't like people to spring surprise appearances on her

Alright

What?!

Ok, got it.

What's wrong?

The issue with the funds not being transferred to the accounts has been leaked

The crew is on strike

We're returning to Sheng Hua (the company)

There's no need to persuade me, I'm not listening

Half an hour

Wait

To break off the contract from before as you please

CEO Li, if this is the way Xin Mei cooperates,

I guarantee you your other businesses with Sheng Hua will all be impacted.

Threaten me? There's no need.

Yes, I am not directly in charge of the duties under Sheng Hua's main group but let me be clear with you

Sheng Hua Movies is not fighting alone, nor will it be bullied and put down

Ok, that's all for now

Let the finance and legal departments know, we'll have a meeting

Ok

Words that hurt have yet to be said

What are you missing

Let him replace me

Maybe you haven't left much

Just a hint of being touched

I will treasure in my heart

When paths have crossed wrongly,

You will always expect the next one

Silence is the rarest

Who will stay, unmoving, at the starting point?

Don't say you can't bear to, but that you can't help it

only to have me

forgotten in a corner of your world

Too many images

are piercing and hurting me

Because simple memories are blazing

unwilling to leave me alone to sing a love song

as though the devil has me

standing in the corner of your world

I'm in the room

The filming has been cancelled?

One day off?

Strike?

I'm not sure

Relax, Xiao Xing will be with me all the while

Bye bye

A break

Xiao Xing,

since we are just whiling time away, let's go play

We shouldn't go out, what if you're recognised?

but don't you find this room too stifling

Ok, be good be good, don't make a fuss

Am I pretty?

Pretty

Magic mirror listen to me

Shu Zhan

If you keep looking at me like that, I won't be able to get any work done

Want to be together with you

Just like Grimm's Fairy Tales

Want you to fall in love with me

such that even Eros (God of Love) is jealous

Shu Zhan

Don't be like this

How am I supposed to work like this

Then I won't look at you

I'll kiss you

Shu, Shu Zhan

Shu Zhan, ok

Ok, alright

I promise to go out with you, alright?

No, why do we have to go out?

I find the room quite ok

so long there's me and you

I like it

Shu Zhan, Shu Zhan, before...

before you knew me, what did you do with breaks?

Compose songs! Composing?

Composing at work, composing in your break?

Not completely

Then what do you know how to do? Practice songs!

Give me a moment

Wear this. Where are we going? You'll know in a bit.

Let's go

Approve!

Isn't this too exaggerated? It's as though I'm dead!

This is the effect we want

If you don't apply makeup to this extent, how are you going to get the sick leave?

That is also true

You say

In this entire production crew

it wasn't easy to have a break

but this Director Ye, not only is he not taking a break

he still insists on looking at some materials!

Poor you, who has to work overtime with him

That's because he's the director

Directors are indeed different

You say, do you think he'll let you apply for sick leave?

No

I already haven't had a break in such a long while

In any case today, by hook or by crook

I am definitely going to rest

Great, then I'll wait for you at the front of the hotel, hurry up!

Don't drag it out! Ok, just wait!

All the best!

It's so beautiful here

Yes, beautiful

It's nice to get a fresh breath of air

Pretty nice

No, are you a parrot? Can't you say something else? No, I can't

I can't

But I can act

I act better than I speak

It's a pity...

How about this?

This here, is the camera And my eyes are the camera lenses

Following this, please begin your performance

Don't do this, it's too silly

Interviewing Miss Ji Xiao Xing, what is the role you would like to play the most?

I would like to act in a role with speech

But I have acted like that once Even though there was only one word, the effect was really good!

Shu Zhan, tell me, why was I so silly and naive then?

You're not silly at all

You're beautiful

What are you both doing?

Brother and sister are giving out sweets

Where are the sweets?

The sweets are...

Sweets, sweets, sweets!

You have to look for the candy yourself!

What if I can't find it?

Don't worry, you will definitely find it when you're older

What if one day, you're completely cured

and you can be like everyone else,

and live freely

At that time, I will no longer be your one and only

Director Ye

What's wrong?

Director Ye, I came here to discuss something with you

I

You can't eat this, it's from yesterday

So what if it's from yesterday?

Speak, what's up?

That is, I'd like to ask

The whole crew is on break today

does it mean I can go out?

Go ahead

What I mean is

I can also have a break?

But it's also time for me to have a break, then I'll get going!

I'm, I'm not going to be in the hotel

Once I'm out, I'll be, I'll be really far from here

I got it, now go

Director Ye

That is,

I'll help you put the water bottle here, you can refill when you're done

Mm, thanks

What the

How did you get so ill

Where do you think you're going when you're so ill?

I, I'm fine

Let's go, to the hospital

No need, I just lack some sleep

I'm just tired

You're lucky you're not burning up

Come with me

Director Ye

I'm warning you Du Ruo

From this moment

You are not allowed to take a step out of this room until you are fully recovered

And

Why didn't you tell me you lacked sleep?

Did you think I'm Zhou Ba Pi (the "flayer") and wouldn't even let you rest?

From tomorrow onwards, if you arrive at work in this state,

then you can forget about coming

Do you understand?

Just for today, I'm giving you the day off

You have to just sleep here, and you're banned from going anywhere else

Hello

Du Nian. You're not coming?

Du Ruo, Du Ruo

An Ge

Where are you going?

I'm returning to the city

No, what?

Take me along with you

Where are you headed to?

I'm going to Teacher Jiang Bei's dance studio

It's north of the city

It's along the way anyway

Let's go let's go let's go

That's not it, your injury is still not healed

and you're dancing again?

Yes, Du Ruo was supposed to accompany me

but she just took a raincheck

An Ge, just bring me along this once

Put on the helmet

Thank you

Du Ruo

Du Ruo

Wake up, wake up

Ye, Director Ye

How is it, are you feeling better?

Would you like to rest more? Yes I can still rest more.

Look at me, I have no strength in my limbs

But it's alright, work is important

No no no

It seems as though I keep working

And you keep resting

Yes

It's like that when people fall ill

But it's fine, my body can take it I will get out of bed now

Wait, wait

I know you can take it, but I would suggest you wash up first

For all you know, after washing your face, you are better able to handle things

That... why do I suddenly have a lot of energy

My limbs have strength again! Indeed, work makes me healthy.

Work makes me beautiful

This lady that is beautiful because of work Please stay

The numbers for these materials, please sort them out completely

You can only leave thereafter, understood?

Stupid Ye Ling, smelly Ye Ling

Boss with no conscience

Stupid Ye Ling, smelly Ye Ling

Boss with no conscience

Why are we here? Shouldn't we be at the studio?

Your leg is injured and needs to rest

You shouldn't go today

How can I do that?

It wasn't easy to ask the dance teacher

If you won't take me there, I'll go myself

An Ge, don't be like this, I'm not going

You can go yourself, but play for a bit first

I'm not playing

Let's play this

This is not violent, and the graphics are pretty nice

Girls generally like this

I'm not interested

Then let's play that

This one is also fun

I really don't understand you

It's enough that you don't aim to be better

but why are you dragging me into this

I'm not going to play childish games with you

Playing loses ambition in a person

So you also feel that

Gaming is just playing games

And I'm just an addicted teenager, is that right?

Is that not the case?

Then let me ask you

What does it mean that playing causes one to lose ambition?

It means that you have no dreams and only think about playing

Then what does it mean to have dreams?

Having dreams is to

Know what you want to do

Then I know that I want to be a professional gamer

Is this considered as a dream?

That's not what I mean

It's only that I

You fight your own battles

while I have mine Your battleground is the big screen

Mine is the display screen (gaming)

Your battlefield has countless people cheering and applauding you

On my battlefield, I have my buddies to accompany me

And it also requires me to practice insane movements

You can get injured for the sake of acting well

And can even spend all your effort to practice

For me to fight a good match

I have pulled my hand countless times

But I still persist

So I can understand the stress of wanting to do well

But similarly

I do not think of my dream as any less than yours

And I do not feel that what I do has less value compared to what you do

An Ge, I'm sorry

I might have been too anxious

What I said... this is not what I meant

I really didn't mean to come across as looking down on gaming

Really

It's alright

I'm used to it

In any case, I forced you here

It's expected that you are angry

I thought you should at least take a break

because you should destress

Speed doesn't equate to success

But

I don't know how to play even a single one

Don't persuade me

I'm not listening

I'm not listening I'm not listening Look at how you're behaved now

If you have the ability you should hide further

What does it mean for you to hide at home?

Do you think that I can't find you

Or that Xin Yuan Ling can't find you?

Why is it that even you are bullying me?

Jiang Ye, for so many years

Who helped you earn the money for your car and flat?

I'm telling you, if you dare to force me, I

I, I,

I will quit

I'll stop acting, I'll leave the circle

What do you mean by you'll stop acting

You haven't even finished filming the movie

And leaving the circle?

Leave what circle?

Your friends' circle on WeChat (China messaging app)

Don't try this trick on me

Leaving the circle to scare who, exactly?

Who doesn't know that you can't live without the camera and the attention?

Let me tell you

If you left the circle for real,

I give you three days, just three days

you will die of loneliness, believe it ot not

Move over there a little

Is your wine spoilt?

Why is it so sour?

Drink it

You won't die

You were right

I don't dare to go far

But I also don't want to go back

Isn't it because of your pride?

If you really don't go back, do you dare to do so?

What do I not dare to do, isn't it just the contract-breaking fee?

I'll just pay it

You really think that

It's for that little bit of contract fee?

What else could it be?

Shen Xun

What kind of person am I?

After so many years, you should be very clear.

You and Shu Zhan were made famous by me personally

Can I stand to see you being bullied by others?

If this is something the compensation for the contract could have settled,

Let me tell you

I would have thrown the money to CEO Xin's face already

But things aren't like that

Then how are they?

What else has he done?

Xin Yuan Ling is more cunning than you imagine

In the ten hours after you left the crew,

He has already contacted Rui Zhong's (their entertainment company)

commercial partners and sponsors

If you don't return

He will have a way to get them to terminate their contracts with you

Other than those that you've already signed

There's also your future

That's not possible

He wouldn't do that

In any case

If you really are interested in him,

then all the more reason for you to return

Why?

He's in trouble

The crew has stopped working
