[Ugly Beauty]

Episode 2

-Hello?
-Hey, where are you?

You calm down first, I have something to tell you.

I can't calm down! People in our career field are saying

that Li Daixuan jumped off building and died.

Anyway, you are determined to let me die.

There are rumors in our industry circle that Li Daixuan jumped off a building and died.

What time is it? Why are you still not coming back?

Song Ci Brother had an accident.

Of course I have to wait in front of the hospital for him.

Believe it or not, I will send Dad and Mom there.

- You will be hospitalized with Song Ci then.
- I dare you!

Eh? Can it be manipulated this way too?

Hold on.

I'll put a poster for you to step on.

You could have just send me the photos via cloud.

Did you really have to come over here by yourself?

I lost the camera.

Pictures are gone too.

You lost my camera, but you still eat and sleep at my place, including showering.

Tell me. How are you going to repair my broken heart?

You have been sitting here for a long time. You should have calmed down.

Don't worry. I'll pay you back the money for the camera.

About Liu Xuefei's pictures

Liu Xuefei the pictures.

Didn't you already take some?

I take overhead shots and you do horizontal shots.

This means you were standing on the ground then

and at the bushes nearby.

Xiang Jiao, you were same as me. The deduction is that she got into the way of the truck.

Or did you already know?

No.

I shot it by coincidence too. I saw her when I was walking.

You wasted so much IQ to get the pictures while I just took my pictures casually.

If I were to say this, you don't have a sense of accomplishment.

On the way there, you were so certain that Liu Xuefei wasn't in her own car,

and you didn't let me follow. When we arrived in front of the school,

you just left me behind.

So you went for a walk?

Yeah.

To photograph what I already investigated?

Liu Xuefei and her husband seem harmonious but are actually at odds with each other.

Rumors say that her finance field husband

are extremely astute.

It's possible that she might be made to end the marriage without any assets or money.

Hence, she could only start a public opinion warfare.

Some people even said that her husband's secret schedules with young models

were leaked out to the paparazzi by her.

Was that paparazzi you?

I already said that young people doesn't even know her.

It's useless to take photos of her.

No one will buy the photos too.

Why bother to go into a film academy and not photograph Song Ci,

Yao Menggui, Li Daixuan but her instead?

You really have a sense of justice.

This line is like deep waters.

Some people is willing to buy back the photos and some people is willing to release them too.

What is this called? This is known as one can't have it both ways.

I dare not let those bright foolish kids know. I could only take photos alone.

But I didn't think that you would've taken pictures too.

I can't do anything about that. I'm too smart. Can't control that.

So you asked me if I'd taken any ugly pictures of her.

I thought you wanted to harm her, but you were actually worrying for her.

But I have a question.

Why can't she be elegant and haggard and use the main entrance?

Then, there would be more people taking pictures of her.

She hired you to photograph her and also, getting off from the truck.

Isn't this troublesome?

Isn't that to exaggerate her misery?

It's miserable to fight public opinion warfare but can't exaggerate misery?

Online onlookers nowadays must perform till the end if they want to act.

Think about it. Her husband is already like that.

She doesn't come out to criticize him,

avoid interviews and stay at home instead.

But she still needs to worry about the school's drama graduation.

Forced to get off from a truck

and photographed by the paparazzi in such a desolate state.

Is that amazing or what?

Amazing.

What you said is right too.

I won't purse further that I didn't photograph Liu Xuefei today.

I lost a lot.

Xiang Jiao. Inside the camera I lost today,

there's another video.

[Hospital]

Nian Nian, distribute the milk teas to our fan's stations

and tell them to report their group's nicknames.

If there is any leftover, then share it with the other fan groups. Everyone has it pretty tough.

I understand.

Also, it's almost 10 pm.

When passing out the milk tea, don't forget to remind them;

minors must go home.

Hey, wait!

When I post online later,

monitor those anti-fan support groups.

They changed their people recently.

so it's super dirty.

They dissipated the goodwill of the passers-by of Older Brother Song Ci.

Isn't this anti-fan or instigating attacks?

Tang Tang Sister, don't worry.

Go.

Here, everyone move a little bit. Don't block the hospital's doors.

Hey, you, the one playing on your phone!

She's just a new webmaster. Why is she bragging?

If you are unhappy with me,

just put up my name in the internet.

But right now, don't block the entrance and bother other patients.

You!

What did you say?

Waiting to verify identity?

Wait when you are told to. Damn you.

You don't take the initiative to do anything.

Other than you, who else is in the hospital?

Has her father left?

I don't care how you do it.

Before I figure out what's going on, don't let him spout nonsense. Her father is greedy.

Don't be afraid to spend money.

What's going on?

It has been a long time since I have seen this old fox panicking.

Yeah, he even hid it from me.

There's no way he could've told you.

There's a bunch of people downstairs. Don't let people take pictures.

Xiao Bai, buy some items tomorrow.

Coke, hamburgers, milk tea, stuff like that.

Give it to the fans and media people down there.

Oh yeah, how is Yao Menggui doing?

After going through the hospital's procedures, I heard Uncle Jiang mentioning that

she didn't even call her agent.

She didn't know how to be grateful at all.

Uncle Jiang is unhappy.

Seems like he plans to make an issue about this.

It's not convenient for us to publicly complain.

Starting from the fans, he found bigger fan stations and groups

to spontaneously love you and condemn Yao Menggui.

Bro, this is what I'm guessing.

Uncle Jiang didn't say he would do this.

Whatever he wants to do, he never discusses it with me.

Would he discuss with you too?

He only wants to save face for Song Ci.

Are you Teacher Song?

Hello, Uncle Jiang.

Yao Menggui just sent me a WeChat.

She said there was way too many people tonight.

I'm afraid she will cause troubles when she's here. That's why she didn't come. If you have any ideas.

don't take actions without any authorization.

Right now, I don't have the energy to care about the Yao whatever her name is.

Uncle Cheng, what happened?

See for yourself.

[Searches on Weibo]

You really got the photo? You're not joking with me?

Li Daixuan's death is related to Yao Menggui?

Didn't the both of them gotten close to each other lately? They liked and referenced each other for seven out of ten articles in Weibo, right?

They were national best friends. How could this be possible?

The more outrageous it is, the more likely that it is true.

Take note of what this can learn from this. You have to accept this as the price you pay.

Could it be that the two of them have some sort of intense, deep-seated hatred?

And Yao Meng later simply...

My imagination is not that crazy.

And you're not even sure if he's dead.

Even if he is, there's the police.

It isn't up to you to determine what's going on.

But I did see the two of them fighting.

I also took photos of it.

Why are you feeling bad? If someone has to feel bad, it's going to be me.

If we put this out there,

our team will start World War I.

Whatever A'Zhuo or A'Wei will start cursing.

When they see me, they will shout Older Brother Jiao,

What if you don't put it out there?

Would your income be that small?

Of course. Do you need money that badly?

No matter how small the income, it still can't match the money in the gap of your father's fingers.

You should listen to my advice. If you can't lower your head and call your father,

I'll call it for you!

In the future, that'll be our father.

Come, you tell me.

What's our dad's phone number?

There is definitely something suspicious going on behind this.

If I can dig this out, I will be able to get out from this predicament.

I need to think of a way to get close to Meng Gui.

Xiang Jiao, you have to help me.

Okay.

I'll believe you this time. Let's do something big this time.

Older Brother Song Ci, what to do now?

Please wait.

Hello, your takeout.

Thank you.

How is he?

Please tell us...

Everyone, don't interrupt. Let him finish talking.

He is also worried about us.

He also has to go up and take care of Song Ci later. We have to be good as fans.

Song Ci is fine now. His doctor told him to rest.

He even instructed me to order some food for you guys, since you all have waited so long.

Go to my home now. Chang Ming has already gone there.

[Chang Ming]

Older Sister, who's calling? Why aren't you picking up?

Chang Ming. My manager.

Manager? Isn't that your leader then?

Why aren't you answering your leader's phone call?

I'm the only entertainer who's earning money for him right now.

Who do you think is the leader here?

He's just an idiot.

He has no ability at all, but so many useless words to say.

Yet he has the face to call me.

Watch what I'll do when my contract expires.

Meng Meng. It's me.

I'm here.

Don't mind my sweaty feet. I brought my own shoes covers.

I was going to tell you to throw these away on your way out.

Okay.

Come in.

Meng Meng.

Are your emotions more stable now?

I know that you were close with Li Dai Xuan. And he left so suddenly.

You must find it hard to accept his death.

He died?

What do you mean?

You didn't know?

Oh, my bad.

Xiao Wen didn't tell you?

This Xiao Wen. I was sure he would personally tell you.

He jumped off a building last night to suicide. He's gone.

This matter is unclear.

The company sent out a Weibo post for you.

The caption was that you can't believe in all of this.

No one dares

to talk about this now. If you say something wrong

or type something wrong, you will increase another layer of risk.

Forget it if she wanted to commit suicide. You and her are close like sisters.

If you don't handle the netizens well, they will turn around and curse you.

You came here just to tell me that Li Dai Xuan died?

Oh, I almost forgot the important things.

I almost forgot to give this important thing to you.

They hope that you can replace Li Dai Xuan

and take on the role of Li Rong Xin.

Even if you are feeling down,

but you still need to consider

that the person is already gone.

The living must think about their future.

Certain things, although it's not appropriate to say

but this opportunity

must be taken advantage of.

If it's impossible to stop the filming of the movie halfway,

it wouldn't have been that easy for us to succeed.

To be honest, they wanted to give the role to you in the beginning.

It just happened that on the day you were supposed to sign the contract,

it was blatantly intervened by that

Lao Jiang from Li Daixuan's company.

She messed it all up.

Although it's said that one must respect the dead but after all, their company

did the bad deed first.

You still thought of her as a good friend.

You really have a big heart.

If it was me, I wouldn't be able to do that.

Meng Meng,

just take this

as completing your friend's last wish.

Let me go use the restroom.

Answer it now, Older Sister.

What is it?

Older Sister, Chang Ming came to have me sign a contract.

He told me it was Li Dai Xuan's and that Li Dai Xuan is dead.

I just saw her yesterday, how is she dead?

Chang Ming is sitting outside waiting for me to sign it right now.

How could I sign it for you? I can't even understand the contract.

Why don't I think of a way to kick him out for now?

I already knew about Dai Xuan.

Don't worry. I know what's going on.

Just sign it for me first. We can talk about the rest later.

We can't do that. I can imitate your signature, but this contract

can put us in jail if something happens.

Just do what I tell you to.

Don't think too much. I'm just asking you to sign.

I'm not even telling you to act.

[Movie contract]

Meng Meng, there are three total.

One is for you.

One for me, and the other for the production.

That's it. I won't bother you anymore.

Rest well.

The company will look for an assistant for you in the next few days.

We will look for one based on your preferences.

What?

An assistant. We already signed the contract and we'll begin filming in a couple of days.

Which actress films without an assistant?

I don't need one.

I said I don't need one, so I don't need one.

You're still angry at me.

Regarding the last incident, Dan Dan was definitely wrong.

It was my fault that we found someone like her.

By the way, do your make-up for these two days.

Who knows how many people Song Ci will bring to serve him.

We can't not have anyone.

Right? Don't worry. This time I will

find someone really great.

That's decided then.

An assistant?

Won't that person be following me 24 hours then? How can I pretend then?

Older Sister, I'm dead meat. Chang Ming insists on giving me an assistant.

Make-up?

[Song Ci]

You sure are a rich family's kid.

You look different with a suit on.

Isn't the suit too big? It feels like it was stolen.

Doesn't it look good?

What style is this? Boyfriend.

I am a boy myself.

It was hard for me to borrow this.

Who are you blaming? Who has the most suits?

Your father.

Why didn't you think first and bring some with you before running away from home?

If you have the guts, don't tell me to borrow suits.

If you have the guts, don't laze in my house and not leave.

Look at those two.

You're also lucky. You came just when they are hiring.

It wasn't easy for me to use my connections to add you in.

Good luck. Our success depends on your every move.

I will. Don't worry, my wife.

Alright, you can go.

Please swipe your card to enter. Please swipe your card to enter.

[Qiming Culture Media Co. Ltd.]

What's going on?

Is everyone here?

These are all the interviewees for today.

This is the information. You can take a look.

Here.

[Resume]

Why is there a guy too?

They are all recommended by people we know. They are all enthusiastic.

We couldn't reject them right from the start.

Today, we will just chat.

Don't be too tense.

How about you guys introduce yourselves.

You go first.

My name is Chenmo. You can just call me Little Chen.

I went to college at the University of Journalism and Communication.

I started to promote fast-moving consumer goods. There are many KOL resources
[T/N : Key Opinion Leader)

who can serve as a solid foundation for entering the entertainment industry.

I have been in this industry for three years. My earliest work is

"Love in Dali, Rose Night Lover"

for product placement.

Xiang Jiao, you idiot, what the hell did you fabricate?

Rose Night Lover?

How did you know we were looking for people?

Sister Yu recommended me come here.

She... she thinks very highly of me.

Sister Yu?

She rarely takes male disciples.

- Looks like you're quite outstanding.
- Brother Ming, you flatter me.

Too outstanding, I'm afraid it'll be overkill.

What about you?

Teacher Chang Ming, my name is Li Tian. You can just call me Tian Tian.

- Tian Tian?
- I'm nineteen years old.

I really like Sister Meng Meng.

I'm really good at taking care of people.

I was also recommended by Sister Yu.

She also complimented me for being detailed.

Not bad, not bad.

- What about you?
- I really like Sister Meng Meng.

She is my idol. I followed her for many years.

A fan. That'll be good for an assistant.

Who is Older Sister Yu? A top person in the talent market?

Is this reliable?

This university is pretty good.

[What? Did something go wrong?]

This industry is like reverse sexism.

I'll take a gamble and treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
(T/N: a Chinese idiom that refers to things being hopeless, but still holding onto a glimmer of hope)

[Female celebrities don't choose male assistants.]

[Unless...]

It's quite stuffy in here.

Sister Meng Meng.

Meng Meng!

Why are you here?

I was contacted last night to come and sign the posters.

How could we ask you to come personally? We could've sent it to your house.

I don't usually like people coming over to my house.

50 posters are waiting to be signed.

Don't blame me. Most of them were required by the media.

We couldn't push it.

I already told you not to be rash.

Only Dan Dan Number 5 could copy your signature in our team.

You couldn't wait another second and had to fire her at this time.

I can sign them myself.

Dan Dan Number 5?

You call every one of your assistants "Dan Dan."

Last one was number five. You don't remember?

Who has the time to remember that? It was just convenient.

There is something I want to say. Don't get angry, okay?

You're so opinionated. Brother Ming has to place someone by you to feel assured.

Where's Changming?

In his office.

Take it to the conference room.

We had an employee before

who was so careless and oftentimes lost things.

She also liked gossip.

Meng Meng is too nice and couldn't fire her.

In the end, I fired her.

I must protect my company's artists.

Brother Ming, don't worry. I'm a tight-mouthed person.

Actually, I am not asking for too much.

The most important thing is keeping in touch with me at any moment and place.

Because you guys are still young, and there's lots of things you guys don't know how to handle yet.

So from little to big things,

you must discuss with me first.

Alright, let's end the interview here.

Tian Tian, Meng Meng's daily life

will be your responsibility.

What are you doing here?

It's such a big matter. Are you planning on deciding on your own?

No, I was thinking of making a round of selection first

and then asking you to make the final decision.

Thank you, Brother Ming.

You can all take a seat.

Meng Meng. This is Tian Tian.

She is from the Broker Training Company.

Before, we had a lot of executive brokers

who also trained in their company.

She knows the rules

and has experience. She's good at English.

Not bad, not bad.

Who have you helped before?

She helped a lot of famous celebrities.

For example, Wang Weiwei and Du Qiuyu.

Then why did you leave your position?

Just... there were some

difficulties following those celebrities.

Difficulties?

Then, when you leave here, are you going to tell people

that you had a lot of difficulties helping Yao Menggui too?

Next.

This is Yue Yue. She also has a lot of experience.

Then why did you leave your position?

My contract with the last company expired.

I wanted to change my social circle.

What a nice person. She left her former employer and doesn't say anything bad about them.

That's right, that's right.

I don't like sleek people.

- Alright.
- Next.

Sister Meng Meng, I am your fan.

Nice to meet you.

I don't want a fan.

Do you know how to drive?

Do you know how to take photos?

Do you know how to Photoshop?

Him it is then.

This person is pleasing to my eye.

Meng Meng. It's better to choose a female assistant.

Wouldn't it be easier for them to take care of you?

What? I don't even have the authority to choose my own assistant?

No, no, that's not it.

What's your name?

It's okay. I'll call you Dan Dan. It's easy to say.

I'll leave my matters to you from now on.

Brother Ming, are we really having a male one?

What else then?

That scared me to death.

This is the remnant left by your previous Dan Dan. Meng Meng's favorite things are written in here.

You must remember red ones, yellow ones can be a little weaker,

and blue ones can be ignored. However for your own safety,

I recommend that you take them all as red.

This is the data of Meng Meng's employees.

There's new data once every week. Meng Meng doesn't need to memorize all of them, but you need to.

To make sure Meng Meng interacts with everyone happily

and make no mistakes.

Could the previous assistants do this?

No, that's why they became previous assistants.

Oh right, also, this was the previous previous

previous previous assistant's cellphone. Keep it safe.

Be on call for 24 hours.

Do not miss any call.

If you leave the cellphone, you will die.

That's all I can tell you.

The rest will be for you to figure out.

- Good luck.
- Wait.

The Weibo, Instagram, that book, and TikTok accounts...

various resources for catering for business,

future schedules, recent relationships

and future developments for three years.

does Brother Ming handle all of that?

What can I do as an executive agent then?

Not just to serve tea and hand water right?

You asked right on point.

You are just here to serve.

If you serve badly,

you won't be able to stay for three days, not even three years.

Oh right, you have to get on Meng Meng's good side.

After all, some people are thinking of how to get rid of you.

Oh right, you can bring this to Meng Meng.

Have her sign them.

This much? Won't she be unhappy?

Of course she will. That's why I'm telling you to go die.

I'll go die well.

Oh right, how do I address her?

Call her Meng Meng.

You look pretty good. No wonder Meng Meng likes you.

Sister, I might write better with my left hand.

Why does that matter?

If I really needed you to substitute for me,

would you use your left hand to sign for my fans?

All right, go practice.

Sister, I'm going to help find a male assistant for you.

If you're not satisfied with him, you can fire him when you come back.

You have to understand me. If I find a female assistant, she'll follow me 24 hours a day,

and she might even go to the bathroom with me. Then I'll really be exposed. All right.

Sister, when are you coming back?

[Start out with an initial display of strength.

An initial display of strength?

What is it?

Uh... Teacher Yao.

These magazines need to be signed.

This many? Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I...I just started this job.

You just started so you should have already told me.

I did just tell you.

I'm tired, I don't want to sign anymore.

If you just do a hand print, your fans will surely love that.

They're too heavy. I don't want to move.

- Turn it for me.
- Okay.

Why don't you speak?

I'm worried I'll bother you.

Don't you know that making me feel awkward is a type of bother too?

Then... what do you want to talk about?

Never mind.

There's no point to talking with someone like you who doesn't catch on quickly.

Even though I don't catch on quickly, I'm good at conversation.

If you're good at chatting, then why didn't you find a topic to talk about?

Because I don't know what you want to talk about.

If you don't know, why can't you try to know?

Because I just got this job.

You can go out if there's nothing else.

Allow me to be blunt.

If I had known you were looking for a life coach,

I wouldn't have needed to accept this position.

Because, the way I see it, that would have been a waste where you're concerned.

If you have time, Ms. Yao, you could look at my CV.

Other than daily life matters, big or small,

I can assume responsibilities for all the challenges of this job.

and help you go higher and higher in your career in the performing arts.

I just told you that if there is nothing urgent, you can leave. Didn't you understand?

Go out!

When I was young, my parents thought I was really smart.

They thought I could do anything.

It just depended on what I liked in the future.

There is one point they said is true. I can do anything.

Acquire debts, pretense,

be a spy, be a paparazzi.

With great skill,

I can even act helpless and miserable; all of it is being a bastard.

Don't be so dejected.

All of these current humiliations are all for your great cause in the days to come.

So what if you have to be a fraud to Yao Menggui? Just be the best fraud.

The very best fraud.

The problem is...

after today, I feel like she hates me more.

Then you have to think of a way to make her like you.

Smile more. A person who wants something doesn't smile a lot.

Alright then, I understand.

Let me eat some.

Make your own.

Have tabloids come so far as to talk about this. What kind of performance is this?

You should use your camera and record whatever, good or bad.

Have a little respect for your superiors, could you?

I really do remember it. How about I repeat it to you?

Number 6 Dan Dan, what nonsense are you bringing here?

Looks like it won't be long before I become Dan Dan Number 6.

Then you are underestimating me.

Do you think it is that easy to serve an artist?

What is it?

If it doesn't look good, then it doesn't look good.

If it doesn't look good, then it'll look even uglier in pictures.

It can be roasted by netizens. Meng Meng could personally beat your into a pulp.

Isn't she someone who is flattered by all her employees?

She came back after studying abroad and cares a lot about current fashions.

Just say part of the truth.

What is part of the truth?

Alright, the class will end here for today.

Right, go edit the photos you took earlier.

Who told you to say you know how to photoshop when you interviewed?

I understand.

Don't worry. It's easy to fix. They all have a white background.

She won't become deformed. Just make her pale, skinny,

This way it'll be natural and there won't be any traces of editing.

Didn't you say you can understand with your brain?

Hurry and go fix it. Surprise me.

I'll make you skinny.

I'll make you white.

Meng Meng, do you have to go home?

Chenmo, go bring her.

Teacher Yang, I was just playing around earlier.

Sorry about that. I will fix it well.

Of course I'm happy for you.

It doesn't matter who gets the role between us. Isn't it good news either way?

Do you have any news?

No one brings it up at the company.

Teacher Yang, how about

There won't be many fans there now.

Really?

If you're really worried, I can go in your stead.

It's just...

Okay.
