[The Best Day of My Life]

[Episode 8]

Since when are you interested in illustration?

As you know,

Like's new promotion period is coming.

We want to avoid the entertainers

and do marketing with illustrators.

I mean, illustration is kind of popular right now.

But the plan is not yet completed.

Therefore,

I want to find more material.

Okay.

Good idea.

Thank you, Mr. Xie.

[Zhang Yao]

Let's talk about

some ideas for this event.

Xu Mu mentioned last time

that we didn't have to work with celebrities.

We can find another way.

Such as the latest popular figures

and hot trend.

Maybe there's something that fits in well with the homestay.

The two brands can cooperate.

Like the most talked about illustration exhibition recently.

Illustration is popular right now.

Are there any illustrators who are

popular,

meanwhile, fit with

the concept of the homestay?

I think

Zhang Yao is a good option.

He became famous at a young age.

[Zhang Yao] I followed him in high school.

At that time,

he didn't have many fans yet.

But now he is the lead of the industry.

Last time he mentioned holding an illustration exhibition.

It was trending before it even happened.

Oh, speaking of trending,

it just came to me.

I know this guy.

But he seems

to never have appeared in public.

Is it possible

that he doesn't like such things?

This Zhang Yao is

the top of his game.

Right.

But this time,

our budget...

It's...

Xu Mu,

I thought you knew Zhang Yao in person.

It turns out you are just fans and idols.

If Zhang Yao is a no-go,

is there anyone else

that suits

our concept?

Mr. Liao,

there's a joint exhibition going on right now.

Through my friend, I can contact Luo Xiaoxiao,

Illustrator Luo.

I just asked around.

It's within our budget.

He's a typical commercial illustrator.

His painting style is very similar to Zhang Yao's.

Although he is not as famous,

because of his frequent appearances,

his fans are mostly female.

He suits our concept, too.

This'll work.

In that case,

contact Luo Xiaoxiao first.

Xu,

take Jingjing,

Xiaoke,

and Yusi.

You go together.

Okay?

Sure.

Good.

Xu Mu,

take care of the rest.

My friend came to pick me up.

See you.

I don't know what's wrong with her.

"My friend came to pick me up."

All right.

Let's take a cab, too.

Otherwise, there'll be a line later.

Go ahead.

Take this.

My colleagues and I will use one.

The rain is too heavy.

Don't get wet.

Then...

how do I return it to you?

It's nothing. It's just an umbrella.

If you insist,

give it to the next person who doesn't have an umbrella.

Xu Mu,

the cab is here.

Oh, coming.

Careful.

Miss Song.

Oh, yes?

If

you feel

the love scene isn't sweet enough,

I can go back tonight to...

This is good.

It's great.

I was right about you.

Miss Song,

from the moment I laid eyes on you,

I just knew this script

had to be written by you.

Ah.

This month,

I'll take the new script to the director and the actors.

I believe

they will feel the same way I do.

Is there anything you want to be adjusted?

Perfect.

Especially when the female lead

tricked the male lead to go to her home.

The writing is particularly delicate.

It's relaxing

and sweet at the same time.

I'm sure

there will be pink bubbles all over the screen.

Ah, that scene.

Is it,

Miss Song, your personal experience?

No way.

It's not.

It was

my friend's story.

Just kidding.

Miss Song,

for the next couple of episodes,

stick to this feeling and style.

I believe

everyone will be looking forward to it.

You mean

you put what happened between you and Shen Yi

into your script,

and the producer loved it?

I was in a hurry.

I had no choice.

Song Niannian,

you finally found your inspiration.

Don't laugh at me.

I have two new drafts due on Thursday.

Do you have any juicy love stories?

Give me some inspiration.

I don't.

Xu Mu.

Coming.

I need to go.

Sex over friends.

I don't believe without Shen Yi,

I can't write it.

Ridiculous.

Yusi,

how is the progress on the contract

with Luo Xiaoxiao?

No contract.

Luo Xiaoxiao blew us off.

He said he wasn't coming.

When did this happen?

How did I not know?

He contacted me this morning.

I don't know

why he didn't contact you.

We had a deal last time.

He just changed his mind like that.

Why are you so upset this early in the morning?

What's wrong?

Luo Xiaoxiao is not coming?

Xu Mu,

didn't I tell you to take care of the rest?

How did you deal with it?

I wonder whose fault it really is.

What did you say?

Good morning.

Mr. Liao,

Luo Xiaoxiao is not coming.

What do we do?

What?

Wait.

What's going on?

I asked Xu to do the follow-up work the other day.

I wonder how she handled it.

Mr. Liao,

how about

I go find someone else?

Okay, okay.

Hurry to find alternatives.

Alternatives.

It's fine.

How about...

Jingjing,

how about

you try to talk to Mr. Luo again?

Wasn't he recommended by your friend?

It's easier for you to do so.

I will go talk to Mr. Luo again.

Okay, good.

Thank you in advance, Jingjing.

It's okay, Mr. Liao. It's my job.

It's for the good of the company.

Good.

Xu,

it's fine.

It's work.

It's normal to have an accident.

I know, Mr. Liao.

I'll look for other options, too.

Hello.

Ms. Fu,

I'm Xu Mu from Shangxin.

The invitation I sent to your email,

have you seen it?

I see.

All right then.

I won't bother you.

[Fu Fangqi]

So hard.

Who else?

[Famous Chinese illustrator Zhang Yao has never appeared in public]

Mr. Zhang, this interview is not on camera.

No images will be kept.

Therefore,

it won't cause you any trouble.

Mr. Zhang, you are one of the best in this industry.

Yet you never appeared in public.

Does that make you feel

you miss a lot of opportunities?

Of course,

I know you've always been

against over-commercialisation.

But,

have you never regretted it?

Never.

I don't like being in public.

I like being alone

and painting in the studio.

Nobody pays attention to me.

It relaxes me.

Wow, amazing.

In fact,

Your paintings always give people

a warm feeling of healing.

Well,

may I ask

if your life is

as romantic as your paintings?

♪Rain from afar♪

Where there is sunshine, there must be a shadow.

It's just

people are used to looking up and ahead.

They tend to overlook

the dark shadows behind us.

Just like life.

Some darkest moments are

maybe only known to ourselves.

For a long time,

my paintings were dark and gloomy.

The colors were mostly black, white, and red.

I posted a painting once,

and deleted it immediately.

Because I was afraid people would hate me.

I was glad

I didn't have a lot of fans.

♪Sink into dark♪

Surprisingly,

someone found out.

But she didn't hate me

as I imagined.

I noticed you deleted it.

[Night Owl] I know what you're worried about.

But it's like the moon.

It also has rugged craters,

and dark corners.

But even so,

people still love it.

You can shine,

but no need to do it every day.

[Night Owl] This drink is amazing.

You should try it.

After that,

I hear from her all the time.

Even though it was just a few pieces of life,

I really felt life.

[Night Owl] The moon last night.

Here, the sun.

I mean

because of her,

I also feel a new life.

Look!

[Night Owl] I won a hundred bucks.

I send you this,

so you can get half the luck.

[Night Owl] Look at the toy I got.

My bestie is so bad at this.

She didn't get anything.

When I see you,

I'll give this to you.

We're all girls.

I think you will like this, too.

[Night Owl] I got into a new company.

Wish me luck.

[Xu Mu]

Xu Mu.

The cab is here.

Oh, coming.

Be careful.

Xu Mu.

[Night Owl] Hello, Miss Zhang.

I'm from the Planning Dept of Shangxin.

I'm Xu Mu.

We have a cooperation proposal

to make to you.

I wonder if this is convenient for you?

[Zhang Yao]

Tomorrow at 3 p.m.

See you at Luoan Gallery.

Zhang Yao agreed.

He agreed. He agreed.

Got a date today?

No.

I'm going to meet Zhang Yao today.

I told you about it.

I forgot.

Is it a boy?

We never met.

But based on my analysis of her posts online,

she must be a girl.

I'll get going then.

Be safe.

Okay.

It's almost three.

She should be here.

Xu Mu.

We've met before,

in front of Lusen Café.

Ring any bells?

Oh, it's you.

What a coincidence!

Not exactly, Miss Xu.

Didn't we have an appointment

to meet at 3 at Luoan Gallery?

You are Zhang Yao?

Oh, no.

Mr. Zhang.

You...

You are a boy.

Though I didn't clarify my gender on social media,

I thought

everyone knew I was a boy.

I didn't think I'd give you the wrong idea.

The style and pictures of your social media are tender.

So I just...

It's okay.

I saw you looking at this picture.

Ah.

Yes.

I really like this painting of yours.

It's a lot like your usual style.

But I feel like when you painted this,

you were happy.

How do you know that?

Most of your paintings are heavy on blues and greens.

But this one you used a light blue.

Plus the fireworks in the middle.

I guess

you must have been in a good mood that day.

Am I right, Mr. Zhang?

Oh, right.

I almost forgot what I came for.

[Project Proposal] This is the plan we made for your event.

Please take a look.

Like's idea has always been the customers...

No need.

I believe in you.

Well...

To our cooperation.

Did you forget your keys?

What key do I have?

You can make me one if you want.

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

Just a lot of insomnia lately.

I dream when I'm asleep.

About what?

I dream...

Just dreams.

I just want to stay here for a second.

I love your hair. I loved your sign. Lily, I love you.

Xie Shi.

How do you think they're so sure of each other?

They'd even die for each other?

How did you know Xu Mu was the one?

Is she your type?

Right.

Based on the way you're in love now,

she probably is.

Why don't you focus on yourself first?

I don't need to.

I...

I'm sure I'll love someone

who has a sense of justice

and can hang out with me.

When we're together,

life becomes interesting.

She'll make me feel happy.

Although sometimes we quarrel and argue,

we won't really be angry.

So specific.

Why do I feel like you know this person

before that becomes your type?

[A Week]

Song Niannian?

Emergency.

You came to find me?

Right, yes.

Can you hang out with me tonight?

Just eat and sit together.

We presuppose countless romances,

in the hope of creating love.

But they all ended in failure.

Until one day

when there are no flowers,

no fireworks,

or candles.

Nothing was ready.

And I was caught off guard.

For the first time in my life, my heart flipped.

The end.

Miss Song,

after reading it, it's like

we fall in love ourselves.

Let's come up with something good.

It's going to be a hit.

The scenes just feel

so real.

A lot of detail in there are

amazingly real.

By the way,

Miss Song,

have you recently

fallen in love?

How is it possible?

Then you must have a crush.

No, no.

Did you find a new illustrator?

I spent a lot of time with Mr. Luo.

He finally has an interest

in cooperating with us.

I think since Mr. Luo

blew us off once,

there can be a second and a third time.

So I

found a new illustrator.

Is your illustrator on the same level as Luo Xiaoxiao?

If not,

it's better not to show us.

Zhang Yao.

What?

I said

I contacted Zhang Yao.

And

he has agreed.

How is it possible?

How could Zhang Yao be contacted?

Any messages I send him

went unresponded.

I don't know.

You must be lying.

Mr. Liao,

I'm talking to Xu Mu about work.

Good attitude.

Come on.

Let's just stop what we're doing,

and talk about

our cooperation with Mr. Zhang Yao.

This cooperation is very important to us.

First,

that'll be Zhang Yao's first public appearance.

So in addition to the promotion,

we still need him to paint

at the press conference.

He can decide what he wants to paint.

So Xu,

get in touch with Mr. Zhang Yao

and go through the procedures

with him.

Yeah, sure. No problem.

Good.

Okay.

Go back to your work.

Anything else you need?

Nothing.

[Zhang Yao] For our project this time, Shangxin

helped us find

the famous illustrator, Zhang Yao.

Zhang Yao has always

kept a low profile.

He rarely shows up in public.

Shangxin inviting him this time is

a huge benefit to us.

I heard Zhang Yao was persuaded by Xu.

Miss Xu is so good at it.

I have a date tonight.

Might be home a little late.

Don't wait up.

Okay.

Therefore,

what do you think of our process?

Does allowing you to choose what to paint

feel more free?

Pretty good.

I can do whatever you want.

You're too nice.

If only all our partners were like you.

My job would

be so much easier to do.

Why did you

stop sending me private messages?

Too busy at work.

Later,

I found

that you had more and more followers,

and got better and better.

I thought they might be like me

or care about you even more than I do.

So I stopped sending messages.

After you,

I do have a lot of people who care about me.

But...

It feels different.

I'm not very good with the camera.

I worry I'll suck on the press conference.

I have an idea.

Zhang Yao,

look at me.

Look at my phone camera.

Think of me as a reporter on set.

Let's try it.

Mr. Zhang,

why do you like illustration?

Would you like to share it with us?

Because

I'm boring.

I have no friends

or talent.

My only hobby is

to paint.

And

I've been doing it ever since.

Xu Mu?

Hello?

Director Jiang.

Are you having dinner with Xu Mu?

No.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I saw

her having dinner with a man.

If it isn't you,

I won't go over there.

This time,

I remembered to bring my umbrella.

It's my turn to forget.

It seems

that umbrella I had before

already met someone in need.

Let me take you back.

No need.

A friend who happens to be nearby

will be here soon.

I'll just take his car.

All right.

Then

I'll see you next time.

Okay.

I'm glad you were around.

I could get a ride home.

Did you eat around here, too?

I was meeting some friends.

You

didn't bring your umbrella?

I lent my umbrella to someone else.

You know what?

What a coincidence!

The guy I lent my umbrella to is

the illustrator we invited this time.

The one you just had dinner with?

Did you see us?

Yeah, that's him.

Zhang Yao.

You knew each other before?

Not exactly.

I loved his paintings in college.

I was just a quiet little fan.

I used to send him private messages.

Were you interested in his paintings or him?

His paintings, of course.

But I didn't think he was a boy.

Quite handsome, too.

I always thought he was a girl.

Had dinner with Zhang Yao?

Good for you, Mu.

I had several novels published before,

when I really wanted his paintings to be the cover.

But he is way out of my league.

What's he like?

Is he different from his paintings?

No.

He is just like

his painting.

Very warm and kind.

Easy to get along with.

I even want to meet him more now.

I'll introduce you when I get a chance.

And the script you wrote by watching Shen Yi,

how's it going?

Handed in.

Everyone liked it.

All liked it?

Do you like it?

Why does it feel like the villain Shen Yi is about to win?

It's my work. Of course, I like it.

The rumour is that when authors create their roles,

they are actually creating

their subconscious type.

You've been writing by watching Shen Yi all day.

What do you think

your role feel like?

Shen Yi.

Let's change one.

This one is boring.

Oh boy!

Song Niannian,

are you insane?

This kind of dream will

only do you harm.

I guess I'm really not thinking straight.

Finally cleared my head.

Nothing can't be fixed by shopping.

You may not even realise it.

Having an interest in someone is wanting to see him.

Sometimes you even dream about him.

Anything else?

You can find out the rest.

People behave differently.

Okay.

[Shen Yi]

What's up?

Why did you

pick up so fast?

What do you want?

Uhh...

A new movie is on.

I watched its promotion. It looked fun.

I wonder if you'd like

to watch it together.

A movie?

But I am actually

quite busy lately.

Then forget it.

Go on with your work.

Hey, don't hang up.

I have a lot to do, but I can find some time.

When is it?

This afternoon.

What's up?

Which one is better? The left or the right one?

Are you going to a party?

What party?

Just going to the movies with Shen Yi.

It's because I

really like the movie.

And it's similar

to the novel my company is

about to write.

Shen Yi's paying.

I don't see why not.

Do you need to dress up to go to the movies with him?

I'm not dressing up.

I'm afraid he'll laugh at me

if I go in a T-shirt.

Any way,

which one looks better?

What about these two?

The blue one?

The blue one.

Help me choose one.

I've already sent you the photos.

I have to go.

Why is Shen Yi choosing clothes as well?

Don't you think

they are a little weird?

Nothing is weird when it's those two.

Which one do you think is better?

They all look the same to me.

Which one did you choose for Song Niannian?

A blue shirt.

The blue one.
