=I May Love You=

(Adapted from Mo Yanchuan's novel "I May Love You")

=Episode 10=

(I Have a Secret)

(Tyrant's Diary)

(Tang Yu seems to be overly confident)

(that he'll get first dibs.)

(He might have forgotten I was his ally while he pursued Ming Zhu.)

(Perhaps love has a knack for turning folks into nitpickers.)

Who's there?

Are you awake?

Tang Yu.

What are you doing in my house?

Hey.

Don't come in.

Come out for breakfast if you're up.

Okay,

I'm coming.

I...

Why am I still wearing yesterday's clothes?

I can't go out like this to see him.

(Huan: Tang Yu sent you home last night.)

(Text me when you wake up, okay?)

(Rich Lady: It's a long story.)

Were you here all night?

Don't you remember?

I remember you took me home,

but didn't you have to go back

after dropping me off?

Why are you still here?

Don't tell me you snuck back in

after figuring out my door password while I drank last night.

I don't know your door password.

You changed clothes

but still deny it?

Look at the time,

you should eat now.

Yesterday, you mentioned

that you had a secret to share.

What's that secret?

A secret?

Did I?

I can't remember.

Fine, let's forget about it.

You really think this is your home, don't you?

Why are you still hanging around here?

I'll leave after you finish your breakfast.

Did you remove my makeup?

That's so unexpected.

It seems like you have much experience.

Dingding told me

that if a girl doesn't remove makeup,

it can damage the skin.

Ask her if you don't believe me.

Having a sister can be a good excuse for anything, huh?

I pursued Ming Zhu due to family pressure, as they urged me to find a girlfriend.

Coincidentally, Huo Chendong thought we are a good match.

I admit that I pursued her

and even asked for your assistance.

I apologize for my action

that have hurt you.

After this experience, I've learned

that being suitable and being in love are not the same.

I wasn't upset

about Ming Zhu's marriage,

but it bothered me greatly

when you left Time Pictures

and me for someone else.

Why are you explaining this to me all of a sudden?

Talk to me if anything bothers you

in the future.

I promise to be honest with you.

I'll be heading out soon.

You should go now.

Eat more.

By the way,

are you really planning to exclude me from your movie?

This is your debut movie,

and I

want to be involved as a producer

or in any other role.

I want to be part of it.

This was Mr. Lu's decision.

As a screenwriter,

my sole responsibility is to focus on the script.

I got it.

I'll reach out to Mr. Lu again.

Oh yeah,

it's not safe

to use your birthday

as the door password.

I thought you said you didn't know the door password.

My door password is your birthday, too.

I suppose we're even now.

Jiayi.

Where's Feng?

He's over there.

Okay.

Feng.

Getting hooked, aren't you?

Didn't even respond.

Lu.

She's really something.

It's incredible.

She's amazing.

It seems like you and Tang Xin are working well together.

It was a smart move

to have Tang Xin as the lead screenwriter this time.

Come on, stop reading it.

I need to tell you something.

Let's go.

She's amazing.

Feng.

We could have chosen

a more experienced screenwriter after Wan Li pulled out of the movie.

Yet, do you know

why do I insist on using Tang Xin?

Why?

I chose her because of her fresh perspective.

She's like a blank canvas.

Her writing

is free from the constraints

of seasoned professionals like you.

Well,

nor I.

Look,

Tang Xin brings a unique perspective to our projects

when we give her creative freedom.

Besides,

she's someone who truly values her work.

When it comes to this,

I trust only you and her.

Understood.

What I mean is,

let's not restrict her,

and that goes for you too.

Your words don't sound right to me.

I'm just kidding.

To be honest,

I'm quite intrigued to see what unique ideas

she'll bring it to the table this time.

You know, there are tons of students under my guidance.

She's the most talented among them.

Indeed, she's a quick learner.

Do you know what's truly invaluable in her?

What is it?

She works hard.

You've struck gold with her.

You played a crucial role in this, didn't you?

I wouldn't have met Tang Xin without your introduction.

Right?

Feng.

The script is in great shape now.

Let's take a day off!

Sure!

Let's watch a movie tonight.

Tang Xin.

Mr. Lu.

Sorry

for being late.

It's okay.

I've already placed the order.

(Feng Cheng: I'm not joining. It's a rare chance.)

(Give it your best shot.)

What's wrong?

Feng is not coming.

He's probably

trying to help me escape my single life

because I've been single for too long.

He attempted to match me with a great woman like you.

Don't get bothered.

Feng just loves playing matchmaker.

Do you mind if we watch a movie together?

No problem.

Since we bought the movie tickets,

let's not waste them.

Great.

Let's eat.

By the way,

Tang Yu still has some concerns.

He suggested meeting in a few days for further discussion.

I know.

He's on a business trip today.

How do you know?

(Tang Yu: I'm on a business trip with Huo Chendong for a few days.)

He's keeping you posted on his trip.

Mr. Lu.

Did Tang Yu never have a relationship

during his college days?

No, he didn't.

Well,

is there any gossips

that is only known among the classmates?

Gossips?

Just with Lu Chuning.

There's no concrete evidence to suggest

that they've been in a relationship.

You should eat.

The movie is good,

but why aren't the box office picking up?

Hold on.

Look at this.

The ratings

and the online reviews are just average.

Sometimes, the box office success

isn't always a reflection of the movie's quality.

"Cherished Love" has also gained significant popularity

and captured a large share of the box office.

So,

Tang Yu's plan to shift towards the female market is wise.

I was thinking

that if it were my own work,

and it didn't receive high views despite being good,

I would also be disappointed.

In our line of work,

we must have a strong mindset.

Thanks for the treat today, Mr. Lu.

No worries.

Anyway,

remember

to visit the film academy tomorrow.

Sure.

I've already informed them.

Let's go.

(To: Rich Lady)

(Tang Yu: I'm going back tomorrow.)

(Dingding: Yu.)

(Shen Fei saw this at the cinema.)

(Good luck, Yu.)

(Time Pictures)

Yu.

I heard that the company will reinstate artist management again

and it will be led by...

Huo Chendong.

Wouldn't that satisfy his playboy nature?

Tang Yu.

That doesn't concern you. Get in the car.

Are you

going to the film academy to watch the audition too?

Yeah. Why not?

I'll help you decide who looks better.

The way you speak now

is becoming more irritable,

much like Sugar Heart.

Go on.

She's available?

Didn't you say

she had a contract with Time Pictures?

It has been coordinated.

That's why I'm giving you a call.

(Let's talk in a few days, then.)

(I can't really free up my schedule now.)

Sure.

Let's have a meal

when you're free, Mr. Lu.

Sure.

What's up?

Zhou Jialu is available now and is interested in a collaboration.

Are we still

going to the film academy, then?

- Of course. - Of course.

But

I assume that Zhou Jialu

ended her contract with Time Pictures.

That's why she's available.

I don't quite appreciate artists

who lack the spirit of contract.

Let's decide if we really can't find any suitable candidates.

Tang Xin.

What do you think of Zhou Jialu?

I don't think she's a good candidate.

See that?

I told you Mr. Lu has character.

(Dingding: Is Lu Zhixing pursuing you?)

(Rich Lady: Who told you that?)

(Dingding: Just tell me.)

(Is it true?)

(Why would she suddenly ask?)

(Something is fishy.)

(Rich Lady: Guess.)

(Dingding: No, I won't.)

(I must lobby for my brother.)

(He even moved across from your place.)

(He must really like you for that.)

(He's not fickle,)

(and he's handsome and buff too.)

(Besides, we're rich!)

(Rich Lady: Red packet sent.)

(Kids shouldn't be nosy about adult matters.)

(Be good.)

Do you think

there were any suitable candidates?

Based on my understanding of Lu,

nope.

But anyway,

the young lady who danced last seemed fine.

Well.

At least her vibes...

What are you saying?

No one is suitable.

I told you so.

I really think she's good.

Let me tell you the truth.

This role is hard to find.

It's a lady in her twenties who is otherworldly

and naive.

Wouldn't she be a fairy?

How do we find her?

♪Liking you like this is love at first sight♪

♪Concealing the reason for my sudden heartbeat♪

♪A solo journey through riddles♪

♪Every detail about you♪

♪Is my eternal one and only♪

♪Willing to become a better self for you♪

♪That moment is the courage you gave me♪

♪In the tender gaze♪

♪Traversing a great distance♪

Whatever I said make sense.

Miss.

Right?

Where did Mr. Lu go?

Miss.

♪I need you, following you♪

♪Entrusting you with my heart♪

♪Awaiting your response as we flip through time♪

♪The sound by my ear♪

♪Unraveling this mystery for you♪

Mr. Lu?

Did you call me?

Do you know me?

(Of course, I do.)

(Shen Fei even sent me)

(your photo with Tang Xin yesterday.)

Of course, I do.

You're the famous director, Mr. Lu Zhixing.

Everyone knows you.

Dingding.

Tang Xin?

Why are you here?

I am here with my brother.

Lu.

This is interesting.

Mr. Lu.

Have you set your eyes on her?

She's not an actress,

nor a film student.

She's Tang Yu's sister.

Wait.

Are you Mr. Tang's sister?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I thought you were from the film academy.

Are you here to shortlist actors?

For "A Dream For You"?

We've been looking around.

Dingding.

It really seems

that you're fit for our lead role.

Me?

Forget it.

You're not an actress.

Yu wouldn't allow you t o join this industry too.

Put aside your brother.

Are you interested?

Me?

I can't act.

It's alright.

Acting skills can be taught.

Sincerity is key.

For example...

Who are you trying to teach, Mr. Lu?

What are you going to teach?

You've misunderstood.

I meant it in terms of acting.

What's going on?

We're here to cast a female lead,

and Mr. Lu thinks Dingding's image fits the role.

Didn't you want to cast Zhou Jialu?

Yeah.

We did contact her,

but she wasn't available.

They just called to inform us

that she's available now.

I suppose Time Pictures terminated her contract, huh?

Why would you terminate her so easily?

Mr. Tang.

Are you sending your old classmate a gift?

Since we've known each other for years,

I find the need to help when necessary.

But you don't seem happy about it, Mr. Lu.

I'm just flattered

that you look highly of me.

But on second thought,

you might not have done it for me.

Perhaps I merely rode on coattails.

Right, Mr. Tang?

No matter who it was for,

Zhou Jialu was the one you wanted.

If there is a better fit,

it doesn't have to be Zhou Jialu.

You?

Yu.

You didn't allow me to be a fashion model,

but I can be an actress now?

Are you selling your sister now?

I didn't allow her to be a fashion model

because she had ulterior motives.

But as long as it's a job she genuinely likes,

I won't interfere.

One more thing.

If Dingding is willing,

I'll offer Time's investment

for her to join your crew.

Lu.

Try harder.

We have the investment and our female lead.

Dingding.

What do you think?

I...

Whether or not you want it,

please consider carefully, Miss Tang.

Your image and your innocent aura

perfectly matches my perception of the protagonist, Jiang Yi.

Let's go.

Bye.

Tang Xin.

Be honest.

Is Mr. Tang pursuing you?

No.

If Tang Dingding agrees,

do you have any objections?

I have no problem.

I like Dingding a lot.

Besides,

after hearing what you said,

she does seem to fit the role.

In terms of both image and aura,

she's a better fit than Zhou Jialu.

I also agree with this point.

She has an otherworldly

yet innocent vibe

that resonates with our protagonist.

She fits better than Zhou Jialu.

Alright.

Since we are on the same page,

let's not worry about Tang Yu.

We'll try to persuade her ourselves.

Let's go.

Our efforts were not in vain.

Mr. Lu, it's time for your treat.

Yu.

If I don't agree,

does that mean you can't win Tang Xin's heart?

That doesn't sound right.

I mean,

will it make things harder?

Right.

If you agree to help,

it will certainly help me.

Do you really like Tang Xin?

Why bother pursuing her if not?

Alright.

I'll consider it properly.

Dingding.

Don't feel pressured or burdened.

Just consider one thing.

Do you really like this profession?

Even if it doesn't work out,

I'll pursue her myself.

I will definitely win her heart.

I believe you, Yu.

Not bad, right?

This tea is good. Get more.

You buy them.

I have a family to support,

but you're single.

- Tang Xin. - Hello.

Hey.

Have some tea.

Come.

Have a seat.

Dinding is still considering.

She might need some time.

Sure. Go and take a seat.

Thanks.

Try some of my new tea.

It's good.

Hello.

(Hello, Mr. Lu.)

(It's Liu Tian.)

Jialu ordered a Mahseer fish from overseas

and wishes to invite you over for a meal.

To be honest with you,

when you said she had no availability,

we've already found someone else.

Our collaboration might not work out.

(Didn't you say)

(that Jialu fits the image?)

She does,

but we found someone even better.

(That's all from me.)

(Hope we can collaborate next time.)

I...

Men can be so ruthless and indifferent.

If I

reject her directly,

she'll have time to take on other projects.

But if I keep dragging it on

and give them false hope,

it'll be unfair to the artist.

Makes sense.

But Mr. Lu,

now that you've rejected her so decisively,

what if Dingding can't make it?

Will you make me step in?

Your price tag is too high. I can't afford it.

But

what exactly are Tang Dingding's concerns?

Is she afraid she can't act,

or does she not want to act?

Both, I guess.

Tang Xin.

Can you invite Dingding over to the office?

I'd like to speak to her.

Sure.

You're trying to start a conflict again.

Let me remind you.

You're dealing with the daughter of Time Pictures this time.

She's not a puppy from the village.

Feng Cheng.

Sure you want to bring this up?

I'll leave if you do.

Go on, then.

Alright.

I'm leaving.

Did he just leave?

What's the story?

The village puppy was a joke.

Back then, we had a movie scene

where the dog had to cry,

so Mr. Lu

spent two hours explaining the scene to the dog.

Eventually, it cried

for two hours.

Why are you still on it?

Tang Xin.

Did he tell you that I explained a scene to a dog?

Listen to me.

He's spilling nonsense.

I'm not a lunatic.

I just did it for the sake

of shooting the scene well.

Animal scenes are the toughest.

Right.

You're right.

Really?

He seems interesting.

Do you find acting fun?

I never realized

that acting could be so interesting.

If you find it interesting,

join our crew

and strive together.

(I know what you're worried about.)

The entertainment industry

is no different from other industries.

Every industry has downsides.

But what you'll see most

are the staff who work diligently for the project,

just like me.

So, don't let one person

make you feel biased against the entire industry.

(If you like acting,)

(or if you want to try it out,)

(don't let other unimportant factors)

(affect your decision.)

Didn't you say

that you didn't fit your current job?

You bought 1,000 copies of my book and gave them to netizens.

You even enjoy reading my book.

(Coincidentally, we find you fit)

(for the leading role.)

(Isn't this fate?)

Dingding.

If you start enjoying acting because of this

and find something you want to do and enjoy doing,

wouldn't it be a great outcome?

How about

visiting our place and having some fun?

Right now?

I'll send you the location.

Come over.

We will sign the agreement, yeah?

Lunch is on me next week.

Sure.

Talk later.

Where are you going?

I'm going to find Tang Xin.

She wants me to join them.

Are you really considering acting?

I'm still thinking about it.

I might actually agree.

Tang Xin was quite convincing just now.

Instead of being a bystander at the company every day,

unable to assist Yu,

why not become an actress

and earn a significant income?

Does Yu need you to earn money for him?

I want to try it out and experience spending the money I earn myself.

I know.

You want to be financially independent.

That's a good idea.

But there are many ways to make money.

Let me brainstorm with you.

This industry...

It might not be the right fit for you.

With Yu around,

he protects me.

Even you wouldn't dare to bully me. Who else would dare?

Why are we talking about me now?

I just want you to know that being an actress

can be quite challenging.

Alright, I understand.

Tang Xin is still waiting for me.

Let's not talk for now.

I'll leave first.

Okay.

We'll talk later.

You go ahead.

Goodbye.

Hello, Tang Xin.

I've gotten off the car.

Where is that place you mentioned?

I see two sculptures beside me.

Two sculptures?

Wait for a while. Mr. Lu has gone downstairs to fetch you.

Just wait for a moment.

Mr. Lu

I didn't see Mr. Lu.

Are you looking for Mr. Lu?

You scared me.

Please wait for a moment.

Mr. Lu, let's try another shot

with the pose you just did.

Please wait for a moment.

Done. Thank you, Mr. Lu.

It can only be used as a prop.

Understood.

Hello, Miss Tang.

Hello.

You can call me by my name.

Sure.

Tang Dingding.

Over here.

Let's go.

Okay.

About earlier...

He's from our studio.

He asked me to take some funny photos.

It was a bit strange, right?

This is my studio.

It's quite spacious.

Dingding.

Tang Xin.

You finally made it.

Mr. Lu.

This place is quite easy to find.

Xin.

Who is this?

She's so beautiful.

She?

She might be the future female lead in our movie.

Welcome.

With a naive and brilliant temperament,

she really fits the role.

We'll go ahead and get to work.

Alright.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Did you hear that?

Actually,

Mr. Lu asked me to invite you today.

He has something to discuss with you.

He wants to talk to me?

Yes.

Can I take up a bit of your time?

Of course you can.

But you won't pressure me into making a decision today, will you?

No, we won't.

It's just... just a casual chat.

Don't be nervous.

Did you hear that?

Don't be nervous.

Mr. Lu won't bite.

I'll go to work first.

I'll treat you to dinner after work.

Go ahead.

You guys chat first.

I really won't bite you.

Come on.

I actually started making short films

when I was in my teens.

I was quite young at the time.

I love the grainy texture of film.

So, I've collected quite a few film cameras.

Afterward, I officially entered the industry.

I gradually discover that in movies,

we can find different answers to life.

In just two short hours,

you can engage in distant or close interactions

with countless characters.

Over these years, I've made quite a few films.

But for the art of filmmaking,

I continue to seek new experiments.

Filmmaking itself

is an interesting journey.

For actors and actresses,

when you immerse yourself in a role,

and all your emotions

blend with the character,

acting doesn't feel difficult.

Tang Xin told me

you really like this book,

and your understanding of the characters is spot-on.

The moment I saw you,

I could imagine the scenes of you in front of the camera.

There's a natural and unique flavor about you.

Actually, in my heart,

you are the only one

for the female lead.

There's a line in the story that I really like.

I want to give it to you.

Here it is.

"Welcome to the world."

"I might be able to give you"

"what you long for,"

"what you desire,"

"and what you don't have."

"For what you doubt,"

"what you're confused about,"

"and what you're afraid of,"

"will slowly dissipate with time."

(Mr. Tang.)

(Look.)

(Can we forget about Jialu's contract termination?)

After all, the collaboration between Jialu and Time

has always been pleasant.

Forget it?

Aren't you the ones who suggested terminating the contract?

Mr. Tang.

There was a misunderstanding earlier.

It was our lack of understanding.

(Mr. Tang, please cut us some slack.)

You sign and terminate the contract at your discretion.

Do you consider this a market stroll?

Yu, are you making a call?

Dingding.

Why did you come over?

Yu, can you guess where I just went?

It seems like you visited Lu Zhixing.

Boring. You guessed it right away.

Did you and Lu Zhixing

discuss the movie dream?

So, have you made up your mind?

I don't know.

I feel like

this is quite a significant decision.

But,

Tang Xin said she believes in Mr. Lu.

She mentioned that creating a film

with Mr. Lu

is an experience worth savoring for a lifetime.

Her words really touched me.

There are many things worth savoring for a lifetime,

not just cooperating with him.

What do you mean?

Dingding.

This is undoubtedly a big deal for you.

So, take your time to consider it thoroughly.

Don't rush into agreeing too easily.

Certainly,

I'll support you

as long as it's something you enjoy.

If it's truly your passion,

just go for it.

Thank you, Yu.

Alright then.

I'll take some time to consider it.

I'll take my leave now.

I won't bother you any longer.

Alright, go ahead.

Hello.

Mr. Tang.

The investment contract for "A Dream for You" is already drafted.

Once Miss Dingding agrees,

we can promptly sign with Mr. Lu.

Mr. Tang.

Don't beat around the bush.

Will my bonus and overtime pay be safe

if I speak up?

That depends on the substance of what you say.

I think

the way you're pursuing Miss Tang

doesn't have to be so aggressive.

You can try a different approach,

perhaps something like a self-sacrifice strategy.

Self-sacrifice strategy?

You can pretend to be drunk.

Don't drunk people usually need someone to take care of them?

If Miss Tang finds out you're drunk,

she wouldn't just leave you on the street.

She would take care of you attentively.

Isn't that how it's portrayed

in movies and TV shows?

So...

Mr. Tang.

I was just saying.

If you find it inappropriate,

just consider it nonsense.

So, stop talking nonsense from now on.

How could I ever do such a thing?

After three drinks, I should be a bit tipsy now.

Let's play the pity card.

(Wrong password.)

(Wrong password.)

(Who is it in the middle of the night?)

(Wrong password.)

(Please try again in five minutes.)

Why isn't it opening?

Why won't it open?

Tang Yu.

Tang Yu.

The door is open.

What are you doing?

Have you been drinking?

Tang Xin.

Why are you in my house?

This is my house.

Hurry up and go back.

Get out.

What do you mean your house or my house?

Aren't they both houses?

What?

Get out.

Ouch.

It hurts.

It hurts?

Where does it hurt?

My lower back hurts.

Lower back pain?

My stomach aches too.

I feel uncomfortable all over.

Why did you drink so much?

Come in.

I'll get you a glass of water.

Alright, I'll help you.

Stand still.

Walk slowly.

Be careful.

Aren't you usually good with alcohol?

Why did you drink so much today?

Gao.

Gao didn't come today.

I drank it all.

Tang Yu.

Tang Yu.

Are you really drunk?

I'm feeling dizzy.

I'll fetch you a cup of honey water.

It works.

Have you sobered up?

I still feel a bit dizzy.

Here.

The honey water.

Drink it.

Hold it yourself.

I'm so dizzy.

One cup.

One cup.

One cup.

Alright.

I'll feed you.

Come on, get up.

Come on.

Come on.

Can you drink it?

It's too far.

Too far?

How should I feed you then?

I...

I'll drink it myself.

Lie down.

Do you feel better after drinking it?

Much better.

Let me take you back since you're feeling much better.

I'm not feeling well.

My waist.

My waist hurts.

The hit I took just now really hurts.

How about you help me massage it?

Is it here?

A bit to the side.

Is this force okay?

It's good.

Are there any other areas that hurt?

My stomach hurts too. I feel uncomfortable.

You should cut down on drinking from now on.
