(No Confession. Let's Date)

(Sugar Heart's Diary)

(Even tyrants get scared sometimes.)

(Once we have people we like,)

(they become our weakness.)

(Tang Yu, when I call your name,)

(my heart flutters.)

Even if you missed her birthday,

it doesn't mean you can't do anything about it,

right?

Do you two have any

special anniversaries?

Think long and hard.

Anniversaries?

Right.

You two have been chasing around forever.

Back and forth.

Of course, you have no anniversaries.

What was the day

she kissed you?

Do you still remember?

It's fine if you don't.

The company has surveillance cams.

I'll check the footage and find out.

And then,

you can make

something like 200 days forced kiss anniversary.

Then the confession comes naturally.

Third time's the charm.

What do you mean?

I'm stupid

for talking to you about this.

Hey.

My...

My suggestions are reliable.

Who are you going to talk to if not me?

My suggestions are the best.

Honestly,

I'm not too experienced in this.

But at least,

you made it once.

You still have to make sure

the time, location, and people are good.

The venue

should be formal.

Formal?

As for the time...

Birthday would be the best.

Birthday?

Why?

Easy to remember.

Birthday, confess day.

Wedding. Wedding anniversary.

Make them happen on the same date.

Saves money.

Saves your energy.

You two are really stupid.

It's been more than an hour.

And you two came up with nothing?

You make it sound like our family's in a financial crisis.

Son, tell me.

How do you

usually express your love to a lady?

I asked him that.

He gives her red packets all the time.

He asks around for houses for her.

He helps her develop her projects.

It's one step at a time. Very safe plan.

Son.

You are more of an expert

in romance than me.

You flatter me.

You call this being an expert?

This is just throwing money at the problem.

One question.

Do you know

the kind of romance girls want?

It must be genuine and romantic,

but mostly genuine.

But even when you're genuine,

you have to be romantic.

Wait, Mom.

So do I have to be genuine

or romantic?

Remember this.

Don't make the girl choose.

Girls are creatures

who want to have their cake and eat it.

First you need to keep an eye on the environment.

Don't do it where you two usually hang out.

It will look like

you don't pay enough attention.

Go to private restaurants. Upscale malls.

That is so last century.

It is not.

You should pick

somewhere with a nice view.

A place that can soothe the heart.

Just the two of you.

Don't get your friends to join in.

Girls hate this kind of confession. Feels like they're emotionally blackmailed.

That's right.

Your mother's right.

Go away.

You love to work, don't you?

Then disguise this confession as work.

And don't make it too obvious.

If you do,

it'll ruin the surprise.

Make it a surprise. Don't be obvious. Make it look like work.

I got it, I think.

Tavarua.

This is a good spot.

(Time Pictures)

Mr. Tang.

You're early for the meeting.

The last meeting was held here too.

It just ended.

Tang Xin.

On your birthday...

I mean on your birthday,

you weren't down with a cold, were you?

No.

That's good.

You don't have to sit so far. Sit here.

The screen's bigger here. I can see things better.

I know the screen's bigger and clearer,

but that's the director's seat,

not yours.

Your seat is here.

Come.

Sit.

Tang Xin.

I've dry cleaned your suit.

Just get Mr. Gao to take it.

The suit's not important.

This is what I'm thinking.

Do you have anywhere you want to go?

I can go with you.

Mr. Tang.

Mr. Lu is here.

Morning.

Sit.

Morning.

Morning.

Think about it.

This set of pictures

are the big scenes of Icestonevale I recreated.

They're made from the videos

I filmed when making documentaries.

I'll be setting a few important scenes

in this venue.

Check them out a little.

Mr. Li.

Can you find similar places from Mr. Lu's files

in the nation?

Mr. Tang, that will be a difficult task.

That's Icestonevale.

Not even Mohe

can recreate the ice layer effect in these pictures.

I won't let you do anything impossible, Mr. Li.

Here's my idea.

We can only do this in Icestonevale.

Aside from the big scenes,

Icestonevale's mountain range neighbors the sea.

There's a unique coastline there.

There are some lakes and bays nearby.

It'll enrich our movie's scenery.

Mr. Lu.

Icestonevale

is no go.

Why not?

A Dream for You

is perfect to be aired during Valentine's,

or it won't make a huge splash.

Icestonevale is overseas.

We need time to prepare.

And if we want to go,

we'll need to apply for the venue, which also takes time.

We don't have enough time.

If we're delaying this,

we'll be delaying it for a year.

And another important point.

Icestonevale's weather

is challenging for our crew.

If you want a sea view,

why not consider Xiacheng?

Mr. Tang.

Xiacheng's sea view and Icestonevale's sea view

has different

visual impact.

I know that.

We can brush the videos up

with aftereffects.

You're the director.

You should know more

about various ways of presentation than I do.

I know,

but under equal conditions,

taking a scene in a real place is better than using CGI.

I know that.

Icestonevale is our best choice.

But we need to consider the factors in reality.

Tang Xin.

What do you think?

Speak your mind.

Me?

Just say it.

(Can I talk to them alone?)

Mr. Tang.

From the content point of view,

Icestonevale's icy land's connection with the sea

fits the storyline

of the female lead falling into the crack between worlds.

Besides,

if the scene looks like the real world,

the effects won't pop.

I can understand

you creators,

but as the producer of this project,

I must consider everything.

Including things beyond the creating sector.

I need to consider that.

I'll raise a simple example.

Let's take our budget into account.

Do you know how much money

I would have to add if we go overseas?

From the point of ROI,

I cannot

convince the shareholders to do it.

I see.

Mr. Tang.

I understand what you mean.

I'll talk to Mr. Lu.

Wait for me.

Mr. Lu.

I've talked to Mr. Tang.

If we go overseas,

the budget's going to be in trouble.

I've thought about it.

This scene might be important,

but when I wrote it,

I didn't make any concrete settings.

Snow-capped lands,

the forest,

the mysterious island.

As long as they're different from the real world,

it's fine.

I think we can do some survey.

Maybe we'll find something better out of this.

The budget's a problem,

but so is the movie's reputation.

Movies like this

rely heavily on visual effects.

Sometimes, one scene,

one section, and even one frame,

might be key for more attention.

Bring higher attendance and more profit.

Mr. Tang can't get that through his head?

I...

I'll talk to him again.

Give me a moment.

Mr. Tang.

Mr. Lu said that he's confident

to make it a good movie.

He'll make the money we spent on going overseas back.

The budget's not the only problem.

What about the duration of the shoot?

Did he find a way around that?

He can't drag the whole crew with him

and set things up before he plans.

Fine.

I get what you mean.

But I think if we have pictures of the real place, it'll be more convincing.

I'll talk to Mr. Lu again.

Mr. Lu.

Duration is also...

If you can't make it good, even if it makes it to theaters on time,

the audience might not see it.

Tell him that.

Mr. Tang.

And what about the crew's safety?

Icestonevale is dangerous.

What if anything happens?

Who will take responsibility?

Can you?

It doesn't have to be the whole crew.

I'll lead a small team for it.

Don't sacrifice art.

Budget, duration, safety.

Uniqueness.

Visual impact that captures attention.

If you want to argue, argue among yourselves.

Why must I be the messenger?

This is childish.

I don't want to talk to him.

- He's not calm enough. - He's not calm enough.

You two,

can you let me catch my breath?

(WUway natural food)

I'm not going.

I am not.

I really don't want to go in.

I'm scared of both of them.

They are scary when they're mad.

I'll be burned to ash.

Please.

I had to go through hoops to ask both of them out.

I can't deal with this alone.

Just sit quietly and watch me.

I am not going.

I don't want to.

You are going.

Aren't you going in?

He's talking to you.

Lead the way.

Hey, you two.

You're here anyway.

Why don't you sit down and talk?

I made the pictures.

Everyone knows

the effects are better if we shoot it in Icestonevale.

He won't let me.

Then I have nothing to say.

We must follow the shooting schedule.

I can invest more money

on the CGI,

but I won't allow

a trip to Icestonevale.

Stop talking.

Just get this over with.

I'm going.

Mr. Lu.

Don't go. Stay.

For my sake.

He's my brother, and Tang Xin's my best friend.

If you leave,

I can't face them.

I'll never know peace.

Mr. Tang.

Hey.

If you two fight,

the only one hurt

will be the project team.

If you're in a stalemate,

how can the project progress?

Isn't that right?

He's been that way since college time.

It was our classmate's birthday.

They loved Japanese food.

I reserved a spot

for a really good private Japanese eatery.

But he

just had to take everyone to a barbecue.

He was wrong.

It was his fault.

We had an exam the next day.

That restaurant was far away.

We wouldn't have had time for revision.

Someone's leaving himself out.

He wanted to help his classmate woo a girl,

and they said

to make it simple.

But he had to set up a rehearsal,

saying it was for a better effect.

He wanted a better scene.

And then,

he ruined the romance.

Right.

You're right.

You're right.

How is it my fault he failed?

He has no idea what romance is.

That's ad hominem. That's bad.

I'm telling you,

you have to take risks to get romance.

The quicker you win a girl's heart, the easier you lose it.

I was giving their romance

a gift.

You should join a debate competition.

You can twist the whole story.

- Alright, stop fighting. - Alright, stop fighting.

Dingding, we're leaving.

Let's go.

- Hold on. - Hold on.

I've found a way around this.

This looks nice.

Right?

I think it's alright.

Mr. Tang.

Mr. Lu, don't take this the wrong way.

I'm not backing Mr. Tang up.

But look at this island.

Look at its colors.

If we brush it up a little during editing,

it'll look just as good as the sight abroad.

Compared to the mysterious

snow-capped land,

this fits the domestic market more.

And the nation's people like this kind of view more.

Why don't we do this?

I'll adjust

these venues and fit them with the scenes

in the script.

Then I'll show them to you.

Even if it's like what you said,

this isn't enough

if you want to express the feelings of layers

between two worlds.

The venues aren't enough.

But time is of the essence too.

Many landscapes of the remote island

haven't been shot yet.

Don't worry.

I've sent someone to check it out.

Once they're done

with the arrangements,

we'll recreate the scene.

You decide

if we can shoot.

Can I leave now?

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu.

You're leaving just like that?

Mr. Lu left.

So did he agree?

Ignore him.

Dingding.

Come here and eat.

Check the menu.

I'm fine with anything. You order.

Eat.

(Lu)

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu.

Who's there?

It's me.

Dingding.

I got you some takeout.

You haven't eaten anything. And it's late.

Eat it while it's hot.

You're worried I might go hungry?

It's late.

You probably can't get any delivery.

And having deliveries all the time isn't healthy.

So I got you takeout.

That's just delivery with extra steps.

Thanks.

Mr. Lu.

You left

without having anything to eat.

Did you agree with the suggestion?

Or do you disagree?

After I left,

what did your brother say?

He said nothing.

But I think

you agreed.

Beer?

I can take a little.

Then I'll get two cans.

I think

your brother has a point.

We can check things out.

Really?

That's great.

Why are you so happy?

Of course, I'm happy.

Just when I finally decided to be an actress,

if the director who admires me quits,

I'll be losing my job.

Why are you drinking so fast?

Sooner I finish, sooner I can leave.

Just the two of us sitting around

feels awkward.

Awkward?

That's not what I meant.

No. Hey, don't.

Stop drinking.

It's getting late.

Why don't you go home now?

No can do.

If I leave before I finish,

it would be discourteous.

No, I mean...

I'm just saying

that watching you drink like this

makes me feel awkward.

I see.

It's awkward?

I'll be going, then.

Go on.

I'm leaving.

Enjoy your supper, Mr. Lu.

I'll be going now.

Sure.

Good night.

Safe trip.

I have to provide nearly 100 costumes.

I have to be in the crew for three to four months

and take care of the actors' styling and costume.

This is already a discounted price, and it's because of Tang Xin.

I can't lower it anymore.

Okay.

You're friends with Dingding, aren't you?

What if you do it for her sake too?

Twenty percent discount?

Five percent.

Okay.

Do it for me too.

We're buddies too.

We've known each other for a long time.

Right?

Including you?

Sure.

Twenty percent.

Nice.

That's a nice offer.

Twenty percent?

Twenty percent.

Equals to... Let me check the price.

I mean, including you,

I'll have to increase the price by twenty percent.

Think about it.

This is your first step into the industry.

Once A Dream for You airs,

you'll be the costume designer

for the year's box-office champion.

Isn't that right?

When that happens,

you can take any jobs you want.

You can quote them any price you want.

Mr. Huo.

Don't give me false promises.

I might be a designer, but I have dignity too.

Every product I make,

every matching set I create,

costs money and effort.

From components to mold and creation.

Yes.

I know.

You guys have invested in such a big project.

Do you have to exploit me?

Yeah.

We did invest a ton of money in this.

But a lot of aspects need money

in this part of production.

If I don't get calculative,

even we double the money,

it still won't be enough.

I know

pushing your prices down is bad,

so I had to toughen up

and talk to you myself.

Tang Xin.

Your friend is awesome.

Sugar Heart.

You Huan is too powerful.

I can't convince her.

Just kidding.

I didn't send it.

Let's be professional.

How about this?

I'll give you a piece of intel.

You assess

how much it's worth.

And then,

you can give me

a little discount on the price you quoted before.

Can we do that?

What kind of intel?

Do you know where the shooting takes place in?

Where?

Xiacheng.

What?

There's a place called Lover's Bay in Xiacheng.

It's where couples express their love.

So?

Fine. Ten percent discount. Carry on.

Tang Yu set the shooting to be there

because he wants to confess to Tang Xin.

Don't you want to witness it?

Your best friend getting into a relationship?

If you want to,

just give me a bit more discount.

Mr. Huo.

If you keep doing this,

I should go back

and be a niche designer.

Sure, okay.

Ten percent discount.

Deal.

Tomorrow, I'll tell the PIC

to send you the contract.

Okay.

Ms. You.

Pleasure doing business.

(That's a famous couple's spot.)

I have a feeling

this trip

will be fascinating.

I'll be there for work.

Not a vacation.

Nothing fascinating will happen.

It's work and vacation.

You can't work

twenty-four hours.

(You'll break.)

I think Tang Yu

is up to something this time.

I overthought it back on my birthday.

This time,

I won't start fantasizing anymore.

(Just have some confidence, will you?)

(If he doesn't make a move,)

(you date a hottie at the set right away.)

Listen.

You are not wasting

my cutting my price for joining your crew.

I will witness you start your relationship.

Okay, talk later.

I need to pack up fast.

Lover's Bay.

(Lover's Bay, a must-visit place for couples)

(Tang Yu: What are you doing?)

Yeah.

What am I doing?

(Tang Yu: Are you done packing?)

What's it to you?

Who do you think you are?

(Tang Yu: Why aren't you replying?)

(The weather forecast says it'll be cold there in a couple of days.)

(Bring some warm clothes with you.)

(You don't want to catch a cold.)

None of your business.

She's not checking her texts?

Who's there?

Tang Xin.

It's me.

I'm going to sleep.

You should go home.

Door opened.

Tang Yu.

You disappear when I need you.

Need me?

Need me for what?

I thought you went home.

Why'd you come back out?

Are you peeping on me?

You're doing the same thing, aren't you?

Tell me.

What do you want me to do?

No.

I'm self-sufficient.

Sure, thanks.

Tang Xin.

Let's go.

Get in the car.

Let's go.

Miss Tang.

I'll take the front seat.

It's alright, Mr. Gao.

You take the back with them.

(I don't want to sit)

(with these big babies, alright?)

(You think I want to?)

(They're deadly.)

(Please.)

(Please.)

(Fine.)

I'll get in the car.

Mr. Tang.

The luggage is in the trunk.

We can go now.

Right.

Where are we surveying tomorrow?

- The volcano. - The volcano.

Get in, Mr. Lu.

Thanks

for the hand.

Just get in the car.

Mr. Lu.

The art guys said this volcanic terrain

fits our scene more.

Sure.

This is usable.

Liu Yang.

Get some pictures.

From this angle. Capture the sea.

Forget it.

Just get some photos from any angle.

Sure. You learn everything after working in a set long enough.

Mr. Lu.

There's another spot up there.

It's a cliff. High one too.

Perfect for our cliff scene.

Let's check it out.

Sure.

Let's go.

Be careful, Liu Yang.

Sure, Mr. Lu.

Gao Heng.

Follow them.

Could you help me take some pictures?

Sure.

Here you go.

Okay.

Done.

Are you still going there?

Be careful, then.

Don't worry.

I have steady feet.

Just be careful.

Move to the right a little.

Your right?

Yep.

The background's nice.

Okay.

Move here?

Yep.

Here?

Alright, don't move.

Another one.

That's nice.

Three, two, one. That's it.

Right. Move over just a bit.

Don't move.

- Is it alright here? - Okay.

Let's do this.

Three, two, one.

Not bad. Is it alright?

What's wrong?

Liu Yang.

Liu Yang.

Liu Yang.

Liu Yang!

Liu Yang!

Liu Yang!

Liu Yang.

Tang Yu.

Tang Yu.

Tang Yu.

Tang Yu.

Tang Yu.

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Gao.

They

fell to the sea.

What?

Who did?

Liu Yang did.

Tang Yu went in to save him.

Call the emergency number.

Go.

Okay.

Let's go.

Go.

Go.

It's right up there.

Mr. Tang.

- Mr. Tang. - I think they're there.

Mr. Tang.

Tang Yu.

Mr. Tang.

Tang Yu.

Mr. Tang.

Tang Yu.

What should we do?

What are you doing?

Are you mad?

Tang Yu can swim.

He knows what he's doing.

Do you know?

His arm got injured two years ago.

He hasn't been swimming for two years.

Look at the huge waves. He has to carry Liu Yang on his back.

How can he save Liu Yang?

Stop this.

Mr. Gao.

Tang Yu saved the guy.

Let's go.

Thank you, Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang.

Are you alright?

Liu Yang.

Check up on Liu Yang.

Tang Yu.

Are you alright?

You scared me.

It's alright.

I'm alright, see?

Tang Xin.

Are you really alright?

You scared me.

It's alright.

I'm fine.

I'm alright.

Tang Yu.

Tang Yu.

I'm here.

Can we be a couple?

You don't want to?

It's not that.

You silly.

I haven't confessed.

I was going to do it

after a few days.

I wonder

what's going on with Tang Xin and Yu.

What happened to whom?

Here, have some fruits.

Nothing.

Just saying random stuff.

How's your brother's love life doing?

Any progress?

Tell me all about it.

I think it's the same.

No big strides.

Mom.

Honestly,

Yu

can be decisive

when it comes to work.

But he takes his sweet time when it comes to love.

I get worried for him.

You're right.

Your father and I

are decisive lovers.

I have no idea who he took that trait from.

He's thirty years old.

And he's not even worried.

Do you have any love stories

to tell me?

I don't have any stories, Mom.

I haven't run into anyone I want to date.

And if I date someone so soon,

I won't have time for you.

I'm still young.

I'm not in a rush.

I'll deal with my career first.

Sure.

I'm asking you seriously,

so you answer seriously too.

Do you really want to be an actress?

Is acting what you want to work on?

Mom.

I've thought about it.

I wasn't sure at first.

But

after going through so much

with Mr. Lu, Tang Xin, and everyone else,

I've affirmed my decision.

Mom.

For the first time

in my life,

I want to do this right so badly.

I hope

you guys can support me.

Of course.

Of course we have your back.

Whatever my baby

wants to do,

your father and I will always have your back.

Have some water.

I don't want to.

Still unwell?

Lie down.

It's uncomfortable.

Where hurts?

Everywhere.

Here.

There.

I just don't want water all of a sudden.

What would you want to drink? I'll get it for you.

I want...

I want...

I want...

I want booze.

You're unwell.

No booze.

My whole body hurts.

If I don't have booze,

how am I supposed to numb my pain receptors?

It hurts?

Where?

Everywhere.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Does it hurt?

Yes.

Here?

Yes.

And here?

Yes.

What about here?

Yes to that too.

Why does it hurt everywhere?

Are you messing around?

You're so childish.

I'm going now.

Earlier, you were crying

about going out with me.

And now you call me childish.

I...

That was a special situation.

Besides, I did not cry.

Are you having your water?

If you're not, I'm leaving.

Feed me.

You can feed yourself.

Do it yourself.

I pulled a muscle earlier.

You know how heavy Liu Yang is.

To save him,

my arm

still hurts now.

I don't care.

You're feeding me.

The water's buoyant.

If you've picked him up on ground,

I'd believe that you're hurt.

You're holding me strong.

I don't believe you're hurt.

Sorry.

I shouldn't have lied.

I just

thought I could be closer to you if I leaned.

Mr. Tang.

I never realized

you were such a smooth talker.

Because I'm talented

in everything.

Anything I want to do,

I can do it well.

You're confident, Mr. Tang.
