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

=Episode 14=

(I'm single, so why can't I go on a blind date?)

(Tyrant's Diary)

(Sometimes, I wonder)

(if it's because I haven't glanced at any other men)

(that I've been liking Tang Yu for four years?)

(Why don't I give it a try?)

She seems...

to be going on a blind date.

A blind date?

I just heard about it.

Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang, I...

What else?

Should we

go and stop her?

Of course.

Do I look dead to you?

Go and get changed.

Okay.

(Missed calls: Tang Yu)

(Tang Yu: You're going on a blind date? Where are you?)

That lapdog, Gao Heng.

How could he rat me out so quickly?

Hello, Mr. Lu.

(Hey, Tang Xin.)

Are you free to come to the studio?

To discuss the script.

Now?

(Yes.)

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Sir, I need to change the destination.

Head to No. 3 Xinglin Street.

At noon today,

I sent our first draft script

to my teacher for review.

He promptly came out with another version

with his opinions

and sent it back to us.

I've posted it in the group chat.

Take a good look.

Got it.

What's the rush?

I was called over

before finishing my meal.

We need to be efficient.

- Let's go. - Right.

I was thinking of meeting up tomorrow.

But our investor cum producer,

Mr. Tang, was more eager

than us after hearing the news

and asked us to discuss it tonight.

So, let us

start with the annotations.

That evil capitalist.

Mr. Tang.

I'm really sorry

for calling this last-minute meeting

and taking up your time.

How is the discussion going?

We just started

to review the annotations.

That's great.

I'll listen in.

Mr. Gao.

You're such a lapdog.

What can you get from snitching on me?

My salary

is from Mr. Tang,

so I have to prioritize his benefits.

Mr. Lu.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr. Tang.

It'd be better if you skip this discussion.

In this situation,

it's not suitable for the investor to give opinions.

What do you two think?

Fine.

Let's go back first.

Okay.

I won't disturb you creators from doing your magic.

You've worked hard.

Have a good meeting.

Your drink

is warm.

Didn't we agree to review the annotations?

Let's begin.

Sure.

Tang.

Make the modifications.

I'll discuss it with Mr. Lu

about getting it approved.

Okay.

Then, I'll leave first.

Take your time.

Alright.

Goodbye.

Take care on the way. Bye.

Goodbye.

Tang Xin.

You are Tang Xin, right?

Are you Lin Zhengxu?

Yes.

I've already bought flowers.

It would be a waste if I don't give them to you.

Thank you.

I didn't text you

because I didn't want to disturb you.

I didn't expect

Mrs. Tang to send me

your studio's address.

This does look like a place where artists work.

I'm sorry

for standing you up.

There are many forms of dates, you know.

Watching a movie is a date.

Having a meal together is a date.

Even sending you home

is also a date.

Let's go.

I'll send you home.

Okay, thank you.

What are you doing?

The flowers look pretty.

Who sent them?

Didn't you miss your blind date?

It'd be a waste to not meet a handsome guy.

So,

I had him come to the studio to pick me up after work.

Who is more handsome, me or him?

You dummy.

Tang Xin, I'm pursuing you.

You're pursuing me,

but I also have the right to choose.

Besides,

you're not the only one pursuing me.

Don't go on blind dates.

Didn't you mess it up for me today?

I rescheduled.

What if I don't let you go?

On what grounds?

Mr. Tang.

First, you asked me to help you pursue Mingzhu.

Then, you rejected my confession.

Now...

I don't want to talk to you.

Does letting you go on a blind date

make things even?

You have to let me

go on 108 blind dates before things are even.

Give Xin a call

and ask her when she's coming home.

Quick, go back.

My parents are back.

What?

Go home. My parents are back.

Tang Xin.

Dad, Mom.

Why are you home so early?

I was waiting for you guys.

These bags are too heavy.

I'll help you.

Let's go

and see what I bought for you.

Let's go.

Okay, Dingding. Get ready.

Remember, the sense of weight you acted out last time was very good.

Alright.

Everyone, remember. You're all on a bus,

so sway your bodies.

Okay. Action.

We're about to arrive at Rainbow Bridge.

Passengers who need to get off,

please prepare for arrival.

Come on.

Quick.

Excuse me.

How rude.

Dingding, that was great. Much better than before.

- Thank you. - Great job,

especially with the heavy bag.

Awesome.

Dingding, why don't you take a rest?

- Sure. - Alright, next student.

Head on up.

Are you sure Mr. Lu will be coming today?

It seems like it.

I heard that he's extremely strict.

The female actress

in this behind-the-scene footage was scolded to tears for bad acting.

I heard that the actress was later replaced.

Really?

What a pity.

Alright, everyone, let's pause for now.

Mr. Lu is here to check on you all today.

Mr. Lu.

This way.

Okay.

How about this?

Let's show Mr. Lu the skit about the country girl

coming to work in the city

that we've been rehearsing lately.

Alright?

Sure.

Get ready.

Tang Dingding.

You first.

Me?

Didn't you do well before?

Go ahead. It's okay.

Mr. Lu.

The time frame for this scene is set

in the 1980s to 1990s.

Showing a country girl

heading into the city for work.

Dingding.

Let's go without any props, okay?

Sure.

Ready. Begin.

We're about to arrive at Rainbow Bridge.

Passengers who need to get off,

please prepare for arrival.

Excuse me. I'm Getting off.

This is my stop.

Excuse me.

Sit.

Okay. Stop.

Tang Dingding, what's on your mind?

Why didn't you follow your cue just now?

And about that bag,

there was no sense of weight at all.

Your rehearsals are usually better than this.

Alright. Come down the stage.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Bing Ge.

You're up.

I need to take a call.

Ma'am, I would like to go to the bathroom.

Okay. I understand.

Sure.

Mr. Lu.

Why did you leave so soon?

Is it

because my performance was too bad

and you couldn't stand it?

Are you disappointed?

Dingding.

You've misunderstood me.

I came out here

because I needed to take a call.

I'm sorry, Mr. Lu.

I was well-prepared just now,

but then I

heard a news

and got distracted,

so I...

Yes, you were distracted.

You were completely out of character on stage

and weren't focused on acting.

Dingding.

Being an actor

is a very cruel profession.

You have to face all sorts of unexpected situations

no matter in reality

or while acting.

But all these

are not excuses for you to slip up.

You have to believe in my judgment.

I chose you to be my female protagonist

because I believe you can handle it.

Believe in yourself

because I believe in you.

However, if you don't work harder

and improve your professionalism,

you might get replaced.

Is it that serious?

Yes, it is.

I'm not looking for an average actor.

I want the best.

Got it?

Good.

Dingding.

The acting class isn't over yet.

Aren't you going back?

Right away.

Mr. Lu, I'll work hard!

Mr. Tang.

The revision of the script is almost done.

It's ready for company's meeting.

I have a few potential director candidates. I'll send their information to you.

Let the producer review it, too.

Understood.

By the way,

how's the filing for "A Dream for You"?

It's been submitted.

It should be approved in two days.

Good.

The Screenwriting Department

sent new movie proposals just now.

Organize and send them to me.

I'll respond tomorrow.

Understood.

Mr. Tang, one more thing.

Say it.

Miss Tang has an official meeting

with Lin Zhengxu today.

Get the car ready.

Understood.

How do we find someone in such a big place?

Did you find her?

Nope.

She probably doesn't like this.

She prefers spicy food.

That way. Go.

Hello.

There's no seat left.

If you'd like one,

you can join the waiting list.

Sure.

You can rest here.

We'll inform you once a seat opens up.

Okay.

Mr. Tang.

Sit.

Table 13.

They seem quite happy.

It's still early.

How about a movie?

There's a cinema upstairs.

Sure,

but I'll foot the bill this time.

As you wish.

Let's go.

Go.

I haven't seen a movie for a while.

This way.

Thank you for coming.

What genre do you like?

Anything's fine.

Let's check out what's playing later.

Okay.

(Box office)

Mr. Tang.

What Tang Xin did is hurtful this time, right?

What should we do?

Don't move.

Don't move.

She's looking at us.

What should we do?

Go to the mall.

Get masks and sunglasses.

Maybe a wig.

Why do you want all these?

Do you want us to swagger in together

and work overtime here?

Work...

Remember, I'm not your superior anymore.

Got it.

Go.

Go.

Mr. Tang. I got the mask and sunglasses.

But the custom wig needs

your head measurements.

How many times have I told you

to do things flawlessly?

Let's go.

But your disguise isn't flawless.

It's quite obvious.

Where are yours?

Mine?

You're a walking accessory.

Whoever you're with is Mr. Tang.

Thank goodness.

I bought one, too.

Flawless execution.

You might get your bonus this month.

Let's go.

Hello, sir. This way, please.

Hello, sir. What can I do for you?

Hi.

I wanted to ask

if a guy and a lady were here.

The guy had glasses

and the lady had her hair in a bun.

Which movie did they choose?

Sir, that's our guests' privacy.

We can't disclose that.

Professional.

I still want

to know their movie choice.

Sir, please don't make it hard for me.

You see, we rarely

watch movies ourselves.

We overheard them talking

about a good movie

and decided to watch it, too.

I see.

However, they didn't buy tickets here.

They likely got them via the app.

They came earlier to buy popcorn.

Hold on.

One bucket or two?

They said the film was about to start,

so they got the last available bucket.

Two "Daybreak" tickets for 8:20 PM.

Thank you.

Please wait.

They bought one bucket of popcorn.

Why didn't they buy more?

And you still want the bonus?

Here are your two tickets.

Prepare more popcorn.

Hello, Mr. Ma.

I saw Mr. Tang.

They should be undercover.

Step up the pace,

but not too conspicuous.

Mr. Tang's sudden arrival

caught us off guard.

Don't look around.

Mr. Tang should be nearby.

Let's go.

Sorry.

Something came up.

I might need to make a call.

Can we switch to another show?

Which show, then?

Any show works. You choose.

Okay.

Okay.

I'lll make my call now.

Go.

Allow me.

Mr. Tang.

Sit here.

(Hello.)

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

(I know you're here right now.)

(What exactly do you want?)

I wanted to see if your date

is better looking than me.

Are you crazy?

Can you cure it if I am?

Did you get the tickets?

Got them.

Let's go.

Sure.

Okay.

Ticket inspection.

Here.

Go.

Mr. Tang.

Is it a magic act or what?

They suddenly disappeared.

What else can they do?

They must have chose another show.

Let's go.

Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang.

It's me.

Ma.

Mr. Tang.

Why didn't you inform me of your arrival?

I could've picked you up.

Ma.

Everything's good.

By the way,

we're about to have our monthly meeting.

I wonder if it'd be an honor

for you to join us.

Monthly meeting.

Sure.

Let's not delay their movie.

Good.

Go ahead.

Go.

This way, please.

We'll continue searching after the meeting.

Will we even make it?

Sorry, Mr. Gao.

The tickets for that show were sold out.

It's nearly ending.

How about checking the later ones?

Okay.

Mr. Tang.

There's no ticket left for the earlier show.

It's past ten for the ones later.

How about...

Sorry.

We got side seats

due to the show switch.

It's no big deal.

Seat choice doesn't matter.

Besides,

sitting in the middle

won't allows you to catch extra eggs.

The movie today was good,

though a tad dull.

Let's watch something relaxing next time.

You like popcorn movies?

Aren't you a screenwriter?

Writing scripts all day long

is already draining enough.

It must be even more tiring

to watch these thought-provoking films.

Watching some popcorn movies

can help you relax.

You make a lot of sense.

(Did you fall in love after a few blind dates?)

(I knew it. What comes quickly can also leave quickly.)

(Tyrant, must I use force)

(to make you change your mind?)

Tang Yu, what are you doing?

♪In the mystery of countless nights♪

♪Thoughts of you grow and sprawl♪

♪This heart suddenly ablaze♪

♪Yet, realization comes only later♪

♪Seeking an answer♪

♪To conclude things gracefully♪

♪But you keep walking farther away♪

♪Until you're no longer in sight♪

♪I hesitated, I struggled, I tried♪

♪No matter what happens, I won't let go♪

Tang Xin.

What's been going on these days?

One moment you're ignoring me,

but you go on blind dates the next.

I want you to tell me the truth.

Is there a thorn in your heart?

What is the thorn in your heart?

Is it because I didn't agree to be your producer?

Or because I didn't read your book?

Or because I asked you

to help me pursue someone else

and rejected your confession?

You're really good at touching sore spots.

So, it's because all of those.

Tang Yu.

This kiss evens things out.

If you do this again,

I'll beat you up like you're a hooligan.

Sure, beat me.

Beat me up.

If this makes you feel better,

hit me again.

What are you doing?

Can't bear to hit me?

Alright then.

Bite me instead.

As long as it relieves your anger.

You're quite ruthless.

Does this make you feel better now?

♪When the dream flies through time♪

♪Drifting at the boundary♪

Stop thinking about it.

They're all useless dirty thoughts.

(Seven points)

(are when he wants to kiss you.)

♪Brushing past me♪

♪Falling at the starting point of a single line♪

♪I want your love, wait you♪

♪I want to land by your side♪

Tang Xin, why do you always pretend

to be thorny every time you face me?

♪Yearning for a glance, a hug to possess♪

♪Oh♪

♪To end the lonely wait♪

♪Wait you♪

♪Wait you♪

(Tang Xin.)

(I will prove to you slowly)

(that I am serious about you.)

(Very serious.)

♪In every moment, reaching out my hand♪

Huan.

You're here.

Perfect timing to thank you for writing the copy for me.

I've got something delicious for you.

Dig in.

Thanks, Miss You.

Your favorite Japanese food.

Oh, right.

How's it going with your blind date?

It's alright.

What about Tang Yu?

Do you remember Dingding's ten-point law?

Of course.

Tang Yu kissed me the other day.

What do you mean?

Wait.

How did he kiss you?

Hang on.

Was it naturally happened for love, or was it a surprise attack?

It's the second one.

Second one.

No way.

Tang Yu doesn't seem like that type of man.

Going back

to the ten-point law,

how many points he gets now?

Seven.

That's pretty high.

Seems okay.

But I feel like something's missing.

What's missing?

I don't know. That's why I came to ask you.

How would I know?

You chicken.

If you ask me,

you might as well go all out.

Then you'll know what's what.

I...

I wouldn't dare do it again.

I...

I'm just

unwilling

to treat him too well.

But if he's not doing well,

I feel sad.

I know what you are missing.

What is it?

You feel

he doesn't love you enough.

After we leave,

you must continue to interact with Lin.

And report to me in a timely manner.

Got it?

Did you hear me?

Okay, I got it.

I'm telling you.

You must call me.

Okay.

At least once a day.

Okay.

- We're leaving. - Twice.

Okay.

Bye. Go back in.

Bye.

It's good.

Here.

What's wrong?

Mr. Tang.

Does this wound need treatment?

Do you need a rabies vaccine?

It's fine. It's almost healed.

I'm okay.

Mr. Tang, you should still bandage it.

We have a morning meeting later.

It's not good if people see it.

Let's go. Time for the meeting.

The renewal of the previous batch of expired IPs

is completed.

The Screenwriting Department submitted

two IP proposals last week.

We've evaluated them on our end

and emailed

the evaluation reports to you.

I've reviewed them.

They are all good.

If you're really interested, go talk to them.

Good IPs wait for no one.

While negotiating about the copyright,

Ms. Chen,

we need to keep up with content development.

We're working on it.

Also,

that realism original film project

is already in progress.

The outline is expected to completed this month.

Good.

Original projects are very important to us.

We need to take them seriously.

Now, the audience

has a high demand for original stories.

To the entire company,

a good original story

is more valuable

than 10 IP adaptations.

By the way, Mr. Tang, the attendance of "Light of Tomorrow"

has been high the past two weeks.

The play date has been extended.

This is a supplementary contract

that requires your signature.

Okay.

Any other issues from other departments?

(Group chat: I didn't see it wrong during the meeting, right?)

(Are those teeth marks on Mr. Tang's hand?)

(You saw it right. They're teeth marks.)

(It's even deeper than the mark my daughter bit.)

(Those marks don't seem to have come from a child.)

(Must be from his girlfriend.)

(Does Mr. Tang have a girlfriend?)

(I don't think he does.)

Mr. Gao.

Make a copy of this.

Okay.

This is what I think.

Some of the supporting characters

in the script

can be more interesting.

Although they don't show up much,

they can still shine.

Yes.

They actually already have

a unique personality in the show.

But I just feel them too one-dimensional

and stereotypical.

Why don't we create a character like Mr. Tang?

Right?

He's got an attitude.

Speak of the devil.

Mr. Tang.

Morning.

You've worked hard.

Mr. Tang.

Should I just set up a table for you?

Your daily flower delivery

is more punctual than those clocking in for work.

I have no objections.

Go ahead.

I used to think

the CEO of Time Pictures

was a domineering boss.

I didn't expect him to be like a peacock.

Do you know

the meme online of a man who keeps flaunting its tail?

Let me show you.

This one.

Send it to me.

Okay.

Mr. Tang.

We're having a meeting now.

It's okay.

I won't disturb you all.

You guys proceed.

Fine.

Let's start the meeting.

Today,

let's focus on the stories of the three supporting characters.

Mo.

Jiang Bai.

Wang Yu.

This is what I think.

Lu.

You know this. We've been writing shows for so long

and use our friends as references.

It's just because of that,

almost all of our friends have been referred to.

There's no one left.

So

it's on you

this time.

Tang Xin.

Come on, Tang.

Please give us a character.

It's sad to be your friend.

But I've referred to my friends

when I was writing novels. There's no inspiration left.

Let's do this.

I'll give you a demonstration.

Jiayi.

Help me write this down.

Tang Dingding.

She's a new friend.

She's innocent,

lovely,

timid,

and talkative.

(Tang Dingding)

Alright.

Here.

Talkative and timid.

(Talkative) Firstly,

innocent and lovely

are also the characteristics of the female lead.

So we'll take these two traits

out.

Being timid and talkative

can fit into Mo's family background.

Then we'll expand from there. Understand?

That's the idea.

You have someone in mind so quickly?

Don't tell me you're writing about Mr. Tang.

Lin.

Zheng.

Xu.

Lin Zhengxu's a nice name.

Zheng signifies excellence.

Xu

for prosperity

and high-spirited.

Not bad.

(Tang Yu: Find out)

(who went on that blind date with Tang Xin.)

Detailed.

(Gao Heng: Mr. Tang.)

(He's called Lin Zhengxu.)

Gentleman.

Humorous.

Humorous?

(Humorous)

Knowledgeable.

Your friend is quite outstanding.

He seems to possess all the qualities of a good man.

The last one is interesting.

What is it?

Likes to watch popcorn movies.

I think this is quite interesting.

It adds a contrast to the previous traits.

Right.

I think we can add that.

Yes.

What is it?

Mr. Tang.

You want to show us a character too?

Yes.

That's great.

(Wenwen)

Wenwen.

This is amazing.

ECV.

The Beaux-Arts de Paris.

Visual communication.

Gallery manager.

Reasonable.

Reasonable.

(Reasonable)

Easy to talk to.

This is very important.

(Doesn't bring up past issues)

Indeed.

Doesn't bring up past issues.

Lastly,

(Doesn't like drinking)

She doesn't like drinking.

She's a gem.

Perfect.

You sound very satisfied, Mr. Feng.

But I wonder

if Miss Tang thinks

this is acceptable?

Yes.

Gallery manager

is a good profession.

Reasonable and easy to talk to

means she is highly logical,

reserved, and powerful.

I like her.

You like her?

At a glance,

these characters

are more vivid now.

But, Mr. Lu,

we can't make Mr. Tang work for nothing.

She is still a character after all.

We should still pay the copyright fee.

I don't need it.

It's still coming out of my pocket anyway.

Fine then.

Consider it as me personally acquiring this character.

Didn't I just say I don't need it?

That won't do.

I can't take advantage of you, Mr. Tang.

Accept it.

I reject.

Did they have a fight?

How would I know?

I'm rejecting it again.

Hi, the delivery is here.

Let's eat.

Time to eat.

Jiayi.

Let's go.

Time to eat.

Rejected.

Lin Zhengxu.

Mr. Tang.

Do you like it?

I didn't know cactus can bloom.

Amazing.

By the way,

I've always wanted to ask you something.

Why do you like cactus so much?

You even

brought it back from the office.

I used to think

that cactus had strong vitality.

They'd grow well

without much care.

But I don't think so now.

To make it bloom,

I must care for it well.

But you...

But you've been caring for it for so long, and it only bloomed once.

I guess I must stay closer to you

for it to bloom better.

What I mean is,

if I go on a business trip,

you can help me care for it since you're nearby.

I'm going to help Dingding.

Mr. Tang. Miss Tang.
