Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,880
(people chatting)
2
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:18,480
(ominous music starts)
3
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,760
(female hosts singing)
4
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,360
(host greeting fans)
5
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,120
Hello, everyone.
My name is Dabao.
6
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:49,960
Hello, everyone.
My name is Dabao.
7
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,240
My job is to train and manage
live streaming hosts.
8
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,080
How can you become a top host?
9
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:56,960
How can you become a top host?
10
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,640
Now it's hard to make fans stay.
11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,280
You must keep them engaged.
12
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,760
Every patron begins as an ordinary fan.
13
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,400
Then he may start to buy you gifts,
14
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,240
and later patronize you exclusively.
15
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,160
Only you can make that happen.
16
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,040
Each time before live streaming,
17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,800
Each time before live streaming,
18
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,920
rehearse and make yourself look good.
19
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Keep your fans happy.
20
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,640
Keep your patrons happy.
21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,840
Then you'll live like goddesses.
22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,000
(mouse click)
23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,120
(voices greeting fans)
24
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:43,960
Without anyone noticing, it seems that...
25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,320
live streaming has become
the hottest online trend in China.
26
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,800
With a computer, a webcam,
a pair of earphones and a mic,
27
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,280
you can live stream at home.
28
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,320
Eating, singing, gaming, shopping, and talking...
There are all kinds.
29
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,480
An online celebrity could make up to $200k a month.
30
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,560
I'm late.
31
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,640
(dynamic music starts)
32
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,800
OK!
33
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,520
Good evening, everyone!
34
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,320
Have you eaten?
35
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,440
Love you! Kiss kiss.
36
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,480
Welcome to showroom 2391.
37
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,600
Oh you had dinner.
38
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,120
Let's listen to a song.
Thanks, Little Fish.
39
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,760
I play League of Legends too.
But I suck at the game.
40
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,080
Time for lollipops.
41
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,040
(Shen Man sings)
42
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,160
Flowers!
43
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,960
I've liked her for almost 2 years.
44
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,600
My goal is to find a girlfriend just like her.
45
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,560
I consider her a role model.
46
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,960
She can achieve everything I can't.
So awesome.
47
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,280
Agree.
48
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:49,200
I've fantasized about her before.
But reality sucks.
49
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,200
I've learned to accept reality.
50
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,680
Now I view her as my goddess.
51
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,880
Let me clarify my relationship
with host Danzong.
52
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,160
You all think he's my boyfriend.
53
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,760
I swear by my breasts -
if I lie, they'll stop growing.
54
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,040
What do you mean?
55
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,200
The lucky ones are
born with big breasts.
56
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,320
But others need "developmental" help.
57
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,960
Just like real estate in China,
58
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,200
you never know the great potential
of things to be developed.
59
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,440
Likewise, you'll be surprised
once my flat chest gets "developed."
60
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,880
Big Boobs - that's what you'll call me.
61
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,640
(Shen Man typing)
62
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,960
People of my age don't know computers.
63
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:48,960
Those born in the '90s are
all computer experts.
64
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,720
Even little kids can grab a phone
and play all sorts of games.
65
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,120
We can't.
66
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,360
We can't keep up with them.
67
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,600
This society is progressing too fast.
68
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,120
This is YY's live streaming platform.
69
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,480
It enables ordinary people to
become internet idols.
70
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,000
Fans spend real money to
buy VIP titles and virtual gifts.
71
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:17,600
Online performers and YY then
split the proceeds.
72
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,840
(rapid keyboard typing)
73
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,360
I'm coaching a hostess...
74
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,120
on how to...
75
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,680
present her best self
in front of a web cam.
76
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,200
I'm most proud of
having trained many hosts.
77
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,480
The most number of hosts.
78
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,480
Like Shen Man,
79
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,120
I helped her grow...
80
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:49,960
from zero.
81
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,560
Mommy, mommy.
82
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,560
Oh, here you are.
83
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,480
I love you very much.
84
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,440
Let mommy hold you
and play you a disc.
85
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,320
Who's this?
86
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,120
Tell mommy who this is.
87
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,880
-A big sister.
-What big sister?
88
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,440
This is mommy and daddy.
89
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,160
(sharp digital beeping)
90
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,120
(dynamic music starts)
91
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,440
[MC] Whether you are a die-hard fan,
92
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,120
or new to Big Li's showroom,
93
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,440
today you'll witness
the beginning of a new era -
94
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,320
the third anniversary of Big Li
and his army of fans on YY.
95
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,560
A diaosi loser who has
turned YY upside down.
96
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,480
A diaosi loser who has
turned YY upside down.
97
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,760
He is the emperor of
all diaosi losers.
98
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,960
He looks like a bum.
His voice is hoarse.
99
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,480
But like the brightest star
in the night sky,
100
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,160
he lights up the path for every diaosi.
101
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,680
He makes us believe
losers can succeed too.
102
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,960
As the saying goes -
even a slut can become a virgin,
103
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,720
and a diaosi can finally win!
104
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,800
First I'd like to welcome
honored guests,
105
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,400
every generous patron,
106
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,640
and every friend in my showroom.
107
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,040
Y'all know I'm good at
fanning up emotions.
108
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,040
Crying is my specialty.
109
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,240
Once my tears brought me $16k in gifts.
110
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,480
If I cry now, this room
would surely go nuts.
111
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,200
These young people are called diaosis.
112
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,080
Diaosi used to be a vulgar term.
113
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,120
Now young people of poor looks and low income...
114
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,560
use it as a self-deprecating label.
115
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,240
China is different from 20 years ago.
Social mobility has decreased.
116
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,640
China is different from 20 years ago.
Social mobility has decreased.
117
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,960
Those lower middle class and diaosi losers,
118
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,920
they feel despair -
there's no opportunity for them.
119
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:56,520
In real life, perhaps...
120
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,240
In real life, perhaps...
121
00:08:57,560 --> 00:08:59,000
many things are beyond your reach.
122
00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,720
many things are beyond your reach.
123
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,280
But online they are all possible.
124
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,440
Thanks for giving me everything
in the past 3 years -
125
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,360
a car, a house, a kid, and a family.
126
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,720
If we hadn't met 3 years ago,
127
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,280
if you had chosen to support others,
128
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,440
then all my screaming and yelling...
129
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:20,880
without your being my audience,
130
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,880
who'd appreciate my so-called talent?
131
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,440
(street noise)
132
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,280
Please enjoy your tea, sir.
133
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,680
I'm 18, and I've been
working for 4 years.
134
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,080
When I was 3, my father passed away,
and my mother remarried.
135
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,480
I was raised by my grandpa,
and grew up all alone.
136
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,960
I feel very lonely.
137
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,280
Sometimes I really want to
**find someone to have a heart to heart.
138
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,440
But it's very difficult.
It rarely happens.
139
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,160
I watch YY just for fun.
140
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,480
To kill some time.
141
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,440
But watching Big Li feels different.
142
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,840
In my heart, he's my idol.
143
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,000
In my heart, he's my idol.
144
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,160
When I made my first $80k,
145
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,440
my family still didn't own a house.
146
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,560
my family still didn't own a house.
147
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,960
When I bought our first house at 22,
148
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,920
When I bought our first house at 22,
149
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,360
my dad asked if I had the money.
150
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,160
I smiled and told him -
"Nothing for you to worry about."
151
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:39,960
My dad smiled back.
My sense of pride then...
152
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,560
No amount of money...
153
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,600
can ever buy that.
154
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,600
(canned laughter)
155
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,200
(lively music starts)
156
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,760
People say men look most handsome
when they smoke.
157
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,120
Mr. Driver, do you want one?
-Don't worry about me. You enjoy first.
158
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:23,880
How old are you?
159
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,320
I was born in 1990.
160
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:27,520
Oh, then I'm five years older.
161
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,600
My hometown is only
an hour away from Beijing.
162
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,840
I came to Beijing when I was 16.
163
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,480
My father and I did
migrant construction work.
164
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,920
A big group of us were
hauled here in a truck.
165
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,800
Now I'm 25.
166
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,400
It's been 8, 9 years.
167
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,240
It's been 8, 9 years.
168
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,640
Weiliang needs your photo,
169
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,040
for the campaign's home page.
170
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,840
Let's take one now.
171
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,120
That Liaoning Hotel in Beijing...
172
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,320
He worked at that hotel before,
173
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,960
as a security guard.
174
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,800
Opening doors to cars and rooms.
175
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,360
That's what you did then, right?
176
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,480
You've done well.
177
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,520
Now I'm almost the richest in my village.
178
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,160
Once I have $2 million,
I'll be the richest in my village.
179
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,200
(dog barking)
180
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,000
As the youngest, I'd like to
toast all the elders.
181
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,200
Bottoms up!
182
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,040
- Nephew, I'd like to say a few words.
183
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,800
You're the pride of two generations.
184
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,000
You've brought honor to the entire Li clan.
185
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,160
A great achievement.
186
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,560
We are proud of you.
-No matter what, I'm still a kid to you guys.
187
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,280
One more thing...
188
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,400
no matter how successful you are,
we'll never be satisfied.
189
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,520
Uncle, I can promise you this -
190
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,440
First, I won't fall.
191
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,680
Second, I'll do even better.
-Exactly.
192
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,880
Let's all drink to that!
193
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,280
(lively music resumes)
194
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,000
-He should buy more real estate, right?
-Yeah.
195
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,280
I'll come back when I'm old.
196
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,400
There's no fucking place...
197
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,440
like home.
198
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,720
(car honking)
199
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,720
The beauty returns.
200
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,960
I listened to you sing online that day.
201
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,200
I told my daughter
this singing beauty likes my fish.
202
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,280
Show them to the table!
-Coming!
203
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,400
We didn't understand it,
back in Guangdong.
204
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,720
She was young then.
205
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,160
Every night she stayed up late
playing online,
206
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,400
singing and howling in her room.
207
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,040
singing and howling in her room.
208
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:55,160
The path I chose for her...
I sent her to nursing school.
209
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,600
Who knew she would pursue this?
210
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,800
Nobody could've guessed.
211
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,520
Of course it's my...
212
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,800
great fortune to have
such a successful child.
213
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:14,800
Rice, please.
214
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,080
Actually, the way she grew up was...
215
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,720
pretty awful.
216
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,200
When she was one,
217
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,280
we left her with her grandma.
218
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,840
When she was eight,
her mother and I divorced.
219
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,800
She grew up without a mother.
220
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,400
I need some change
to buy medicine.
221
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,120
-For what?
-My cold.
222
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,040
-Nothing left at home?
-I finished it a long time ago.
223
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,760
My dad ended his business.
224
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,680
He's... bankrupt. Nowadays...
225
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,600
he has no income, no job.
226
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,600
When he first moved in with me,
I didn't like it at all.
227
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,880
But regardless, he's my father.
228
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,560
But regardless, he's my father.

00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,840
This was her at 14.
235
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,200
During the years Shen Man
and her sister were growing up,
236
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,840
their mother never cared for them.
237
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:31,320
This had a big emotional impact on them.
238
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,000
Whenever her mom is mentioned,
239
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,160
she immediately shuts down.
240
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,120
Change the topic, or she bolts.
241
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,160
Though we live together now,
we don't talk much.
242
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,520
It's difficult to communicate with her.
243
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,200
Perhaps she feels...
244
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,120
I'm not doing anything now.
245
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,120
She has to pay for everything for us.
246
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,560
This creates pressure for her.

252
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,280
Are you here to buy me gifts?
253
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,200
Are you here to buy me gifts?
254
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,640
I don't understand YY.
255
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:28,320
I don't know how money
is made here.
256
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,160
Sometimes I'm shocked
by how easy it is.
257
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,520
(suspenseful music starts)
258
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,360
It's like a love triangle.
259
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,080
Once many diaosis
watch your show,
260
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,680
Tuhao refers to those with money,
261
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,200
but with no culture or value.
262
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:54,360
Tuhao wants attention
from the host and diaosis.
263
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,320
When he spends,
diaosis applaud -
264
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,440
(crowd cheering and applauding)
265
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,520
When you get bored with
real-life excesses,
266
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,600
you go seek new thrills online.
267
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,720
I need to find something to do
besides trading stocks.
268
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,400
My social circle is too small.
269
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:24,880
This is very addictive.
270
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,240
Fans follow you if you spend a lot.
They love to chat with you.
271
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,400
Fans follow you if you spend a lot.
They love to chat with you.
272
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,680
They value the opportunity to
talk to someone rich.
273
00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:35,120
My thinking is -
274
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,440
Wow, so many people
want to chat with me!
275
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,120
At the beginning I spent at least...
276
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,000
$150k a month,
sometimes more than that.
277
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,680
Now I'm more rational.
278
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,880
I'm keeping my spending
under $35k a month.
279
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,640
My business?
280
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,120
It's hard to talk about it,
as I'm a profiteer.
281
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,760
Welcome Songge to our showroom.
282
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,960
(canned laughter)
283
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:19,960
Oh my god, Songge.
284
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,160
Songge's gifts are
giving me hot flashes.
285
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,120
Buying them gifts gives me
a great sense of achievement.
286
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,120
Fans put me on a pedestal.
287
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,760
Hosts will do whatever I tell them.
288
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,200
Thanks for Songge's support!
289
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,440
You are so incredible***
290
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,400
Don't stop. Please don't!
291
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:50,200
(rapid mouse clicks)
292
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,480
Come on.
293
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,640
Let's toast Big Li for
keeping us patrons close.
294
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:04,200
Big Li's patrons are loyal.
They never spend on other hosts.
295
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,920
The competition is a month away.
296
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,200
How much will you spend?
297
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,120
Some say you have $160k ready.
298
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:20,560
-Isn't it $1.6 million?
-Remove a zero.
299
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:21,040
-Isn't it $1.6 million?
-Remove a zero.
300
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,640
At least $16k from me, I've told him.
301
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,000
-You never mentioned any minimum.
You promised to try your best.
302
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,360
I'll try my best.
303
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,040
You know how your fans are talking?
304
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,920
If 130k fans each spends $15,
305
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,440
imagine how much money that is.
306
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,680
Big Li will surely win.
That's what they told me.
307
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,440
-Let's toast to our drinking friendship.
308
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,280
-Alcohol truly tests
the depth of friendships.
309
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,200
I'll drink till I fall.
-All for the upcoming battle!
310
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,840
I'll drink till I fall.
-All for the upcoming battle!
311
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,000
(various voices speaking)
312
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:58,880
It's Beijing time 19:47 now,
ladies and gentlemen.
313
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,360
It's Beijing time 19:47 now,
ladies and gentlemen.
314
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,800
This is the grand opening ceremony
of the annual competition.
315
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,520
This is the grand opening ceremony
of the annual competition.
316
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,600
YY Annual Competition attracts**
the most attention each year.
317
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,040
The contestants have just been announced.
318
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,680
The intense competition will be
held from Dec 5 to Dec 20.
319
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,520
A bloodless war...
320
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,680
is about to begin.
321
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Who do you support?
322
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,280
Hello, everyone.
I am Shen Man.
323
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:27,560
Hello, everyone.
I am Shen Man.
324
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,880
I am Lige.
325
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,400
I am Wen'er.
326
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,760
I am Picasso.
327
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,240
Best Female Idol.
328
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,640
Best Host.
329
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,560
Best Hostess.
330
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,960
Best Male Idol.
331
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,840
December 6, I'm ready.
332
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,160
I'm ready.
333
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,040
I, am ready.
334
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,120
The annual competition is
the most important event on YY.
335
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,960
Whether you'll continue to
succeed in the coming year,
336
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,040
it all depends on this competition.
337
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:57,840
it all depends on this competition.
338
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,320
If you can win No. 1 or No. 2,
339
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:01,880
every YY user will know you.
Instant fame!
340
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,560
every YY user will know you.
Instant fame!
341
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,520
When do hosts receive the most gifts?
The annual competition.
342
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,760
A host's monthly income then...
343
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,040
could exceed $1.5 million.
344
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:12,480
could exceed $1.5 million.
345
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,120
If you like me, please follow my showroom.
346
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,640
(dance music playing)
347
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,240
I got paid today.
348
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,960
I'm charging my account to
buy votes for Shen Man.
349
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,240
I'll probably spend $800
in this competition.
350
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:39,960
I'll probably spend $800
in this competition.
351
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,320
My monthly income is...
352
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,240
about $600.
353
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,280
In order to win, you need
fans to buy you votes.
354
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,240
I finally managed to
save $50 to splurge a little.
355
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,080
(mouse click)
356
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,600
Flash my votes!
357
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,600
Fuck, he didn't thank me!
358
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,640
My 3 dollars...
359
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,560
He didn't even thank me!
360
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,600
Thanks to patrons
Goddess and Unique.
361
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,560
Thanks to patrons
Quan and Wu.
362
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,920
Look at how strong
my support is this year!
363
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,120
What time is it?
364
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,120
-This round ends at 11pm.
-It's 10:30pm now.
365
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,520
- Shouldn't it end at 12am?
- No, 11pm.
366
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,520
- 11pm, you sure?
- Yes.
367
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,280
The alert says only one hour left.
368
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,720
OK, keep eating.
I need to start my show.
369
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,760
(slurping and chewing loudly)
370
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,960
Be quiet when you eat.
371
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,120
It's getting crazy.
372
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,400
I'm knocked down to No. 10?
373
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,680
Thanks for everyone's votes.
374
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,160
The Best Hostess category
has gone crazy.
375
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,280
I'm only No. 10 with 170k votes?
376
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,880
What should I do?
377
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,120
I'm not safe.
Hurry with your votes!
378
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,800
(loud dance music)
379
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,880
The battle has started.
380
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,360
(hosts screaming for votes)
381
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,160
Thank you, dear Caterpillar!
You are finally spending!
382
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,480
(ka-ching ka-ching sound)
383
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,880
He is insane!
384
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,480
Caterpillar got us to No. 1. Yay!
385
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,600
Let's take a look at Big Li.
386
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,120
Stay confident and fight with me!
387
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,360
[MC] The money plane is taking off!
388
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,840
Thank you, Cutie Goddess!
How much are you spending?
389
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,760
I think Big Li is 80% likely to win.
390
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,800
I like him because
he's a nice guy.
391
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,760
I like him because
he's a nice guy.
392
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,080
Between guys, it's easy to get
excited by comaraderie.
393
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:40,400
Between guys, it's easy to get
excited by comaraderie.
394
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,240
"Your life's been so tough.
OK, I'll help you win."
395
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Pat it.
396
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Bashful, huh?
397
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,840
Hosts actually don't need
any talent to win.
398
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,560
(Big Li laughes)
399
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,080
You only need to solicit votes.
400
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,160
If patrons support you,
you'll be fine.
401
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,320
If patrons support you,
you'll be fine.
402
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,200
This competition is a game of money.
403
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,880
Money determines everything.
404
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,440
(loud dance music playing)
405
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,640
Shake those tits!
406
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,960
Now take off your top!
407
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,440
Who cares about rules or penalties!
408
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,000
Come on!
409
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,280
[MC] Our competitor is chasing us!
410
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:01,640
Hurry with your votes!!!
411
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,240
Whatever happens,
let's charge forward!
412
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,680
(sound of planes taking off)
413
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,600
(ka-ching ka-ching)
414
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,240
9 million votes!
415
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,840
That's $1.5 million!
416
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,600
Where did he get all that money?
It's $1.5 million!
417
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,280
Dear God!
418
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,280
Fuck you!
419
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,840
Tell them to continue.
I need to take care of something.
420
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,120
It's very... very scary.
421
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,640
None of Li's patrons thinks
he still has a chance.
422
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,960
They all have stopped spending.
423
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:14,120
Picasso's side...
424
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,080
used all their trump cards.
425
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,320
They are part of an agency.
426
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,360
They can use the agency's income
to buy votes.
427
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,240
Contestants of the same agency
can also buy each other votes.
428
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,640
Contestants of the same agency
can also buy each other votes.
429
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,560
Online agencies are...
430
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,840
talent agencies for internet celebrities.
431
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,080
talent agencies for internet celebrities.
432
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,960
Each of us has a big boss,
433
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,160
who controls us.
434
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,920
Agencies invest money
to promote hosts.
435
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,400
Once hosts attract fans and
patrons to buy them gifts,
436
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:47,960
Once hosts attract fans and
patrons to buy them gifts,
437
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,120
agencies can then take a cut.
438
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,760
If hosts want to win,
439
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,280
they must have support from
their fans, patrons and agencies.
440
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,480
All three are necessary.
441
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,760
(dark music playing)
442
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,960
Many fans cried.
443
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,160
When Picasso reached 9 million votes,
444
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:18,480
a female fan was still spending
$2 an hour on vote lottery for Big Li.
445
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,920
She texted me, like -
446
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,480
"I got another 1000 votes for Li."
447
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,600
I didn't know how to reply.
So I just typed "lol."
448
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,560
As I was typing...
449
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,080
my tears came down.
450
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,960
What has Big Li done...
451
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,040
to deserve his fans?
452
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,680
They just want to see Big Li win.
453
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,400
They've waited for three years.
454
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,600
They often say - Chief,
we and YY both owe you a No. 1.
455
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:57,960
But I know that...
456
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,680
those who crave this No. 1
to show off the most...
457
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,400
are actually his fans.
458
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,640
Because they have
nothing else to show off.
459
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:20,960
I stepped onto this stage
with my dream.
460
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:27,240
But now, my dream is
shattered again.
461
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,360
Brothers, I am so sorry.
We'll have to wait another year!
462
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,560
One more year!
463
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,320
Stay with me one more year!
464
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,040
His fans have been very supportive.
465
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,760
But it's been three years.
466
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,200
Will they continue to
support him in the 4th year?
467
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,800
He may be forgotten by this market,
468
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:58,600
and swept away by
other No. 1's on this platform.
469
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,000
-The contest is over!
-Let's check again.
470
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,280
-The contest is over!
-Let's check again.
471
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,600
Big Li is No. 3.
472
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,280
OH-MY-GOD!
473
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,600
I'm really speechless!
474
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,920
You should feel proud of me,
475
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,320
and proud of yourself.
476
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:20,640
Because...
477
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,840
I didn't disappoint you.
478
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,280
This No. 1... belongs to
our entire showroom!
479
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,280
I want to go to Guangzhou,
480
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,800
to pick up that award.
481
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,800
To the award ceremony!
482
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,560
(crowd cheering)
483
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,240
(energetic dance music playing)
484
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,640
Next on the red carpet -
485
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,720
Picasso and Wen'er!
486
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,560
(fans cheering)
487
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,280
Next let's welcome...
488
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,040
YY General Manager,
Mr. Chen Zhou.
489
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,440
(song "Bang Bang" playing)
490
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,520
Welcome Shen Man!
491
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,480
(audience whistling and applauding)
492
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Next we'll present the annual...
493
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,840
Best Host Award.
494
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,760
The Best Host Award winner is...
495
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,080
YY's No. 1 talk show host, Picasso!
496
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:48,760
I'm Picasso.
497
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,400
I didn't expect to win.
498
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,360
First, I'd like to
thank all my fan brothers.
499
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,640
Next, my boss YY Fish.
500
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,800
He alone changed the course of the battle,
501
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,200
and enabled me, the underdog,
502
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,680
to triumph in the end.
503
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,560
YY Fish spent $1.8 million in total.
504
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,840
YY Fish is rich.
505
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,200
Otherwise how could he spend like that?
506
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,000
Regardless, he made a smart move
investing in this agency.
507
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,880
Twelve wins. Exactly as they'd planned.
508
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,040
YY Fish took 12 wins this year,
509
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,200
among 20 categories in total.
510
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:27,520
among 20 categories in total.
511
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:28,160
among 20 categories in total.
512
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,040
Thanks to the suppport of
my boss YY Fish.
513
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,160
Thanks to YY Fish for
giving me this platform.
514
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,680
Otherwise I'd
remain a nobody.
515
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,360
Thanks, my boss YY Fish.
516
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,400
Thanks, all my patrons and
all my fans for your support.
517
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,760
(audience whistling and applauding)
518
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,200
(gym music playing)
519
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,200
Are you here for my class
or just a walk?
520
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,640
This first, then class.
521
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,920
Just tell me the truth!
522
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,720
I made a bet with Picasso this year.
523
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,480
If I can lose 90 lbs by December,
524
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,240
I win $160k.
525
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:38,640
Three... two...
Ok. Break.
526
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,880
She was my personal trainer first.
527
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:43,800
Then she started doing
live streaming herself.
528
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,000
She asked me about YY.
529
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:48,720
I told her YY is very lucrative
so she joined.
530
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,520
Much more than what you make here.
Forget about personal training.
531
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,800
Much more than what you make here.
Forget about personal training.
532
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:56,400
Are you live streaming?
Or watching live streaming?
533
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:01,000
Now is the era when everyone live streams.
534
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,960
Now there are over 400
live streaming platforms.
535
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,120
Live streaming users
have reached 325 million.
536
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:08,440
Live streaming users
have reached 325 million.
537
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,160
This 19-month-old girl
live streamed eating a meal,
538
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,560
and attracted 540k fans.
539
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,280
Leveraging its huge user base,
540
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:24,800
YY has developed a unique online
showroom ecosystem based on agencies.
541
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,480
Now it's undisputedly
the leader in this industry.
542
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,400
The biggest spenders on YY
all run agencies now.
543
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,840
We all started just for fun.
544
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,000
We all started just for fun.
545
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,200
But a businessman always
thinks about business.
546
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,120
After spending for a while, he figures -
547
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:47,800
After spending for a while, he figures -
548
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,720
if others can make money
off this, why can't I?
549
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,440
Look at this hostess.
550
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,880
Just today, a single patron
spent $600 on her.
551
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,520
Then promote her,
but make her work harder.
552
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:02,240
Then promote her,
but make her work harder.
553
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,000
I bought an agency and
got into this business.
554
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,480
Agencies take 20% of hosts' income.
555
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:14,840
We help hosts secure
promotional spots on the platform.
556
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,160
Agencies may also spend
to buy them gifts.
557
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:22,280
Why would that help
make hosts popular?
558
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,640
The simplest answer is that
fans love to watch.
559
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,600
Thanks, big brother.
560
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,040
Thanks, Songge!
561
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,480
My boss is rich!
562
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,200
Hey you!
563
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,600
Hey!
564
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,640
Get up. It's almost 3pm.
565
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,680
Get up. It's already 3pm.
566
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,240
Pingshao is waiting for your call.
567
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,120
-Long or short sleeves?
-Long sleeves.
568
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,680
Oh my god. What a pigsty!
569
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,640
Wear this.
570
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:08,920
Not that one. It's cold.
571
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:16,880
Wear this, wear this.
572
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,840
-It's warmer.
-No.
573
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,200
What are you mumbling about***
574
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,480
♪ A shepherd's song travels ♪
♪ across the grassland ♪
575
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,120

00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,320

578
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,520
Recently he ran away
from home for 2 weeks.
579
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,800
I was really angry,
because before he left,
580
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,320
he smashed our old car,
581
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,280
and... trashed our computer.
582
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,200
But there's no use being angry.
583
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:34,040
Should I also threaten divorce...
584
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,200
whenever I'm pissed?
585
00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:41,000
All I can do is to let him be.
586
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,920
Now he often mentions...
587
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,800
he's depressed.
I worry about that.
588
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:47,400
he's depressed.
I worry about that.
589
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,000
So I'm OK making any compromise.
590
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,240
-What do you want?
-Is dinner ready?
591
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,040
Almost. Come set the table.
592
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,440
Hurry.
593
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:58,960
Hey!
594
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:00,760
Drop it!
595
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,400
You can't eat this any more.
596
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,120
(toddler cries)
597
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,640
Just let him cry.
598
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,960
(Big Li yawns)
599
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:11,760
A few YY hosts...
600
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,960
shot to fame with the help
from 1 or 2 big bosses.
601
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,920
It's rumored that YY Fish...
602
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,880
has spent $8 million on Picasso.
603
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,800
Big bosses do enable you
to rule the world.
604
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:24,640
Big bosses do enable you
to rule the world.
605
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,680
Now YY is more and more like real life.
606
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,520
Money increasingly dictates
everything on YY.
607
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,320
Hosts no longer benefit much
from having die-hard fans.
608
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,120
Hosts no longer benefit much
from having die-hard fans.
609
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,520
Diaosi losers have no money
to spend in real life.
610
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,840
Diaosi losers have no money
to spend in real life.
611
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,200
So they watch others spend online.
612
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,160
So they watch others spend online.
613
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:51,520
Now diaosis no longer get excited
watching others spend thousands at a time.
614
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,200
They want to watch
millions spent a night.
615
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,440
(dark ambient music playing)
616
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,400
I used to enjoy live streaming,
617
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:08,480
because I truly loved this.
618
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,520
I touched my fans and
made them happy.
619
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,640
When they were happy,
I became their audience.
620
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,520
I watched them laugh.
621
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,320
And that laughter resonated with me.
622
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,880
Alas, everything's changed.
623
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,960
One day I had a whimsy idea to
be a migrant worker again for a month.
624
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,040
I want to go back to that life.
625
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,160
Sleep in bunk beds.
626
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,040
Together with friends and family from home.
627
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:44,920
I want to...
628
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,280
go back to that simple life.
629
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,080
I switched jobs in September.
630
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,040
Now I make $420 a month.
Two days off each month.
631
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,240
I don't know what I want to do.
632
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,720
A friend referred me to
this job in motor part supplies.
633
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,240
I figure I already like motorcycles.
634
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,680
(metal clanking)
635
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:32,200
My relatives don't want me to
always do migrant labor.
636
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,200
They want me to find a job with a future,
637
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:38,920
to make some money.
638
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,200
(suspenseful music playing)
639
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,520
Now Shen Man has become...
640
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,520
the richest hostess on YY.
641
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,400
Shen Man's last birthday party
attracted almost 500k fans online.
642
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,880
You guys accuse Shen Man of
poaching others' patrons.
643
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,560
But this is how the game
is played on YY.
644
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,480
I only wish I could do that!
645
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:44,840
[MC] Shen Man, I heard someone will
confess his love tonight.
646
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,400
[MC] Shen Man, I heard someone will
confess his love tonight.
647
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,800
[MC] How do you feel about Shen Man?
648
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,400
(crowd cheering)
649
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,920
It's so exciting to watch.
650
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,400
Yesterday Caterpillar bought her
5200 sets of gifts.
651
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,600
To be honest, I'm exhausted.
652
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,400
I bought this apartment
for my father. Lately...
653
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,040
my grandpa wants one too.
654
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:31,040
So I wired $70k to
my father this afternoon,
655
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,120
to buy in our hometown.
Renovation will cost another $90k.
656
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,760
So I feel the burden is all on me.
657
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,640
Nobody else makes money.
The whole family depends on me.
658
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,800
And nobody to talk to
when I'm unhappy.
659
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,520
There are hidden rules
in this world too.
660
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,080
Like those tuhao patrons.
661
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,640
You think they are idiots,
spending so much for nothing?
662
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,800
They'll ask to meet you in person,
or for something else.
663
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,440
Lots are like that.
664
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,720
Of course I'm resentful.
665
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,400
Every girl wants to
live like a princess.
666
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,760
But when money is involved,
667
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:21,800
family, love, friendship -
668
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,280
they are all bullshit.
669
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,720
All bullshit - People worship you
if you are rich;
670
00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:30,280
Nobody gives a damn
if you are poor.
671
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,120
(cheerful music starts)
672
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,680
Good evening, my buddies.
673
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,200
The show is starting.
674
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,720
(Shen Man sings)
675
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:05,120
♪ I didn't mean to argue with you ♪
♪ So please don't be annoyed at me ♪
676
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,160
♪ Again and again I smiled at the computer ♪
677
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,360
♪ Reading our wonderful chat history ♪
678
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:19,680
♪ Suddenly everything's changed ♪
♪ Which is more than I can take ♪
679
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,760
Those trashing me
are you tired yet?
680
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,120
Take a water break, OK?
681
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:11,240
In the beginning,
682
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,720
when I worked with Shen Man,
683
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,120
I nitpicked her constantly,
and she adjusted accordingly.
684
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:23,320
But now Shen Man and others
don't mention me anymore.
685
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,160
They all think YY Fish
made them who they are.
686
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,320
But for Big Li...
687
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,880
he couldn't possibly sign with YY Fish.
688
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:39,480
If he had signed with YY Fish last year,
he would've died from depression.
689
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,880
He values his freedom more.
690
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,760
(action movie playing on TV)
691
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,720
Have you lost it?
692
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,360
You're fat because I spoiled you.
693
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,160
You're lazy because I spoiled you.
694
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,680
Now I've learned my lesson.
Can you work harder?
695
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,040
Can you?
696
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:26,800
Speak louder.
697
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,880
Watch it, cunt.
Or I'll beat you up.
698
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,600
Who are you calling cunt?
699
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,040
Stupid cunt.
700
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,040
(ominous music starts)
701
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,560
I need to make some change.
702
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:58,320
I need to make some change.
703
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,360
For three years I've failed to
step on that award stage.
704
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,640
People say I don't have
anything to prove.
705
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,080
But I still need...
706
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,000
this No. 1...
707
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,880
to prove myself,
for that recognition.
708
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,120
I don't have any other dreams.
709
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:27,960
My only desire is to
fulfill my current dream.
710
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:33,080
And my current dream
is all about YY.
711
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,760
Thanks Young Dude for your gifts.
712
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,000
Gee, I'm accused of being out of tune.
713
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,440
Can't you be more lenient?
714
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,680
Does anyone want a VIP vest?
Just buy me 2628 gifts.
715
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,600
Now an advertisement - if you want to
buy high-quality phones like mine...
716
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:05,160
This looks like an iPhone 6.
You can't tell but it's fake.
717
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,880
If you want to buy,
just message zhz77779 on WeChat.
718
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:13,520
OK, this concludes our show today.
My babies, bye-bye.
719
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,040
(phone ringing)
720
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:22,880
Hello.
721
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:24,880
[Patron] Do you miss me?
722
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,400
Miss me or not?
-Of course, I miss you.
723
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,080
So why are you angry at me?
724
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,040
Of course I'm pissed.
You always visit the other showroom.
725
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,160
Be thankful I'm not blocking you.
726
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,720
It wasn't me. My staff was
using my account for fun.
727
00:50:42,720 --> 00:50:43,840
I've told them -
728
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,680
Stop courting girls in showrooms.
You can find girls anywhere.
729
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,840
Flash a thousand or two.
Who wouldn't go home with you?
730
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,760
Tsk. I wouldn't go home
with you for $300k.
731
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,560
You're different. But others...
732
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,680
You think you're
the prettiest of them all?
733
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:04,280
Tsk. Quite the opposite.
My looks are at most below average.
734
00:51:05,720 --> 00:51:07,640
Then why don't you sleep with me?
735
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,720
I'd sleep with you for your money.
But I already have plenty.
736
00:51:10,720 --> 00:51:12,040
I'd sleep with you for your money.
But I already have plenty.
737
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,360
Those hostesses starting out,
desperate for fans,
738
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,800
if I spend a little money on them,
who wouldn't go home with me?
739
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:20,840
Have I slept with any?
740
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,840
You are overthinking this.
741
00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:28,880
I'm not overthinking.
I'm just really insecure. Get it?
742
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,520
You were played before,
weren't you?
743
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,920
Yes. Go ahead and
laugh your head off.
744
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,360
(talking continues on phone)
745
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,720
I live with her.
746
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,680
So I'm not worried.
747
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,120
Not at all.
748
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:57,000
They just talk over the phone.
That's no big deal.
749
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,560
Not a big deal at all.
750
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,480
Why are you going to
Sanya again for vacation?
751
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:17,240
Why do you enjoy spending
money again and again?
752
00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:19,880
I'm stressed out. Get it?
753
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,360
Your vacation budget...
754
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,120
divide it by the number of people going.
How much would I get?
755
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,480
Haven't you got enough cash gifts today?
756
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,040
Haven't you got enough cash gifts today?
757
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,600
Not really.
Just from you and Caterpillar.
758
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,320
When I think about it,
I feel disconnected from society.
759
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,520
I don't go out,
or even see the sun.
760
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,720
No interest in anything.
All I know is how to make money.
761
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,040
I've told her - at most,
762
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,080
she has two years left on YY.
763
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:58,880
she has two years left on YY.
764
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,080
She's turning 22 soon.
765
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:03,920
Back in real life,
766
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:09,000
how can she continue to ensure
the survival of this family?
767
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,680
That's the urgent question
for her to figure out.
768
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,240
(cheesy pop song starts)
769
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,680
If you ask me whether
my family is rich or powerful,
770
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,840
I'll tell you no matter what,
I am a cutie pie.
771
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,880
YY has allowed us, those with
no social status, to make a living.
772
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,320
Some hosts can only make
$500-800 a month in real life.
773
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:38,920
They can't even live off that.
774
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,920
But hosts are all swindlers.
775
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,640
Some swindle your money.
776
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,080
Some are after your affection.
777
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,960
Some simply want companionship.
778
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,280
I hope we all remain oblivious,
779
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,680
together living in these lies forever.
780
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,800
I dedicate the next song to anyone...
781
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,120
lacking the talent of deceit.
782
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:35,240
I'm very happy...
783
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,120
to welcome this grand moment -
784
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,840
the opening of Agency Lanyu.
785
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,240
Thanks Fa Ge,
786
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,480
for giving us a home we are proud of.
787
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:01,600
Next, let's warmly welcome
Lanyu's big boss -
788
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:02,560
Fa Ge!
789
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:03,080
Fa Ge!
790
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,160
Let me briefly introduce myself.
791
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,280
My YY handle is Kill Time.
But you can call me Fa Ge.
792
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,720
I'm honored to meet everyone here.
793
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:21,200
I'd like to build Lanyu into...
794
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,720
a big and famous agency on YY.
795
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:25,960
a big and famous agency on YY.
796
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,680
Here's to wishing Agency Lanyu
the best of luck!
797
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,440
I wish Lanyu a grand future
under Fa Ge's leadership.
798
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,640
Through thick and thin,
let's achieve glory together!
799
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,640
I have known Big Li for many years.
800
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:45,160
I'm really glad that he's found
a good big brother, Fa Ge.
801
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:46,880
Go, my Lanyu brothers!
802
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,120
Once again, best of luck!
803
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:50,480
Once again, best of luck!
804
00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:54,480
Fa Ge and I used to be
the same - big patrons.
805
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,440
Why doesn't he show his face?
806
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,720
He doesn't want others to...
807
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,520
find out his real identity.
808
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,800
(party chatter)
809
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,360
I'm one of Big Li's VIP fans.
810
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,640
I wish Big Li great success this year.
811
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,320
You fucking better
get on that red carpet.
812
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:30,760
Long live Big Li's fan club!
813
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,360
You all traveled from all over China...
814
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:42,200
to gather in Xiamen for
our 3rd annual fan meetup.
815
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:44,920
Thanks to our big boss, Fa Ge,
816
00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:47,200
for sponsoring this trip.
817
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,080
I've heard...
818
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,440
the same wish from all of you,
819
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:57,920
that I get a better result
in this year's competition.
820
00:56:58,240 --> 00:57:02,320
I also have high hopes myself.
821
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:06,160
I will do everything I can. OK?
822
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,000
YEAH!!!
823
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,520
No matter who's hot on the internet,
824
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,920
on YY we only care for Big Li!
825
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:19,400
Bottoms up!
826
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,160
(crowd cheering)
827
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,480
I've never stayed at
such a nice hotel before.
828
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,680
Over a thousand fans
wanted to come.
829
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,760
Only a few had the luck of the draw.
830
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,760
When I first met Big Li,
I was too excited to speak.
831
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,560
-Same here!
I couldn't speak either.
832
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,400
Other than Big Li,
when I watch other hosts...
833
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:57,800
regardless of gender, looks,
or how well they sing,
834
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:03,480
I have no feelings for them.
None at all.
835
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,760
I only have feelings for Big Li...
- Let's shake hands first.
836
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,560
I only have feelings for Big Li!
837
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:14,240
Now, under Fa Ge's leadership,
I feel he's under much less stress.
838
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,480
His shows have improved.
839
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:21,000
-Sometimes it feels like
following a hot TV show.
840
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,600
You can't wait to watch the next episode.
-Yes yes yes!
841
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,520
-You want him to keep on going,
keep bringing us joy.
842
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:28,320
-You want him to keep on going,
keep bringing us joy.
843
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,160
My name is Bruce Lee.
844
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:33,760
Oh, your name is what?
845
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,000
(dynamic music playing)
846
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:38,920
(canned laughter)
847
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,920
Let me turn off
the slimming effect.
848
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:47,560
Oh no, this sucks.
849
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,640
All of you big shots on YY,
850
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:57,040
let me pay you respect first
as the head of Li's army.
851
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,040
(canned laughter)
852
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,120
When will you finish your drink?
853
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,160
This is already my third.
854
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:23,800
-Talking about me?
-Yes!
855
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,240
We hardly drink together.
856
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,760
This is probably our first time.
857
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:37,640
Listen - get some work done
on your nose, chin, cheeks and eyes.
858
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,280
I'm serious!
859
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,800
It's not like I'll face you
for the rest of my life.
860
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,040
Why not?
861
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,560
Even you and Big Li may divorce.
But we'll always be together.
862
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,280
-You had your nose done?
-Yes. Made it higher.
863
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:51,720
-Eyes?
-Yes.
864
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:53,000
-Chin?
-Yes.
865
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:54,920
-Forehead?
-Nope.
866
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:56,560
-Temples?
-Yes.
867
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,000
Holy crap.
868
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:00,120
Excuse me.
869
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,000
-How much more do I owe?
-Please pay an additional...
870
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,120
Should be enough. Keep the change.
871
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:06,360
Thanks.
872
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,240
Of everyone I've dated,
who do you think is handsome?
873
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,400
-Patron Weiyi.
-He's handsome?
874
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:15,680
Very handsome.
875
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,360
Yuck. Yuck.
876
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,040
Then why the hell did you
fall head over heels for him?
877
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,760
When someone is in love...
878
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,480
-You still haven't learned your lesson.
-Yes, I have.
879
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:30,400
-You still haven't learned your lesson.
-Yes, I have.
880
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:32,840
I won't get fooled again.
881
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,720
[Dabao] You don't realize it but now
you're often walking a tightrope.
882
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,160
Like with patrons
Caterpillar and Shengdi.
883
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,440
When you were with that guy,
you also said -
884
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,760
Sister, don't worry,
I know when to stop.
885
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:51,680
In the end...
886
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,640
[Shen Man] Let me tell you something.
887
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,560
-See. See.
-I don't want to be a sinner.
888
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:03,960
Causing divorce again?
889
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,680
Deja vu all over again.
890
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:08,680
-I won't let it happen.
I'll stop him.
891
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:09,920
-I won't let it happen.
I'll stop him.
892
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,560
As an online host, you shouldn't
have gotten yourself...
893
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,200
into the situation where
you have to reject patrons,
894
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:17,400
into the situation where
you have to reject patrons,
895
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,440
because your livelihood
depends on their affection.
896
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,520
But you've never followed the rule.
897
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:30,040
The rule is simple for girls -
Keep online and offline separate.
898
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,200
You still don't get it.
899
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:38,880
(dark music starts)
900
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,160
(crowd whispering)
901
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:59,800
**People call Shen Man "300 Man."
Imagine what her reputation is like.
902
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,680
Folks, let me tell you about this "300 Man."
903
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,480
People say it costs only
300 yuan ($50) to sleep with her.
904
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,560
Even if she paid me 300,
I wouldn't sleep with her.
905
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:17,400
But some have already spent millions.
And even that may not be enough.
906
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:22,880
Or really - you know all about my affairs?
How about the one with your father?
907
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:24,880
We even had a kid together.
908
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,760
I didn't tell you,
because you couldn't handle it.
909
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,680
YY hostesses are said to be
like those in nightclubs.
910
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:33,800
Ever been to a nightclub?
911
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,440
With money, you can do anything.
Otherwise you can only gawk.
912
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:38,800
(canned laughter)
913
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,400
Should I be ashamed?
914
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,080
How about you?
Self-righteous douchebags.
915
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:44,960
You guys hole up on the internet,
916
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,760
one hand picking your nose,
one foot on the table.
917
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:50,480
"Fuck, Shen Man, you 300 bitch!"
918
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,360
Don't you think I know?
919
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,080
Sons of bitches.
Let me sing you a song.
920
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,120
She has 4.92 million fans.
921
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,680
If everyone gossiped,
the spittle alone would drown her.
922
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,200
It's true - I'll sleep
with you for 300 yuan.
923
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,520
I'm a whore, a worn-out pussy.
Happy now?
924
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,080
Once your reputation is gone,
how can you continue on YY?
925
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:14,400
She's obviously not
as popular as before.
926
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:15,240
She's obviously not
as popular as before.
927
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,680
Time to get up, chief.
It's 3:30pm.
928
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:51,160
You'll be late.
929
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:02,520
Get up, chief.
930
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,720
You'll have to get up anyway.
Why drag your feet?
931
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:17,640
(Big Li grunts)
932
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,720
(Dabao typing swiftly)
933
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,440
Tell her to compete for Best Hostess.
934
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:28,480
Isn't that too competitive?
935
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,640
As long as she can make money.
Don't overthink this.
936
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,920
She's... got no chance to win.
937
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:36,960
Hello, Chief Shang.
938
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,360
Big Li and I?
939
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:41,920
We are OK.
940
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,320
He went back to his hometown,
because we had a fight.
941
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:49,880
Now we just leave it hanging.
942
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,400
No contact. We are both busy.
943
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:57,840
OK, thank you so much.
944
01:04:58,320 --> 01:04:59,480
OK, bye-bye.
945
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:04,520
So awkward - everyone asks
if we'll get back together.
946
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,080
This marriage business...
947
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,560
I don't want to go back.
Tired and fed up.
948
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,240
Life here in Hebei is pretty good.
949
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,680
It feels like home.
950
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:21,880
We've been together for over 3 years.
951
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,160
Over 3 years.
952
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,000
Looking back, we've never been
a good match.
953
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:31,760
He's always wanted a...
954
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,120
good wife and doting mother.
955
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:36,960
But I...
956
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:41,280
I've never been willing to
stay home as a housewife.
957
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,240
So most of the time
we can't communicate.
958
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,080
When we do talk, we argue,
and end up talking about divorce.
959
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:50,120
When we do talk, we argue,
and end up talking about divorce.
960
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:52,680
(dance music starts)
961
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:54,520
I'm back, brothers.
962
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:58,200
I'll get on the road in 5-6 days.
963
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:01,280
I have to visit all my big patrons.
964
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,120
Patron Tiange asked me to visit Nanjing.
965
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,480
If I can get him drunk,
966
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,240
he'll spend $70k in the competition.
967
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,600
Brother Bear, you ejaculated again?
So many dots in your chat.
968
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:13,760
Brother Bear, you ejaculated again?
So many dots in your chat.
969
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:15,920
Brother Bear!
970
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:18,960
I'll be slutty if you want me to.
971
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,040
Brother Bear!
972
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,680
(Yong laughs heartedly)
973
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,320
I worked in a restaurant
over the summer.
974
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:32,600
I worked in a restaurant
over the summer.
975
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,400
Chopping chickens everyday.
976
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,880
They paid only $200 a month.
977
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,160
My old boss called and
said she needed help.
978
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,720
So I came back to the old job.
979
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,280
Thank you patron Qige!
980
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,040
Not bad - I've already earned $5k.
981
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,000
I don't know what other job to do.
982
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:56,160
I...
983
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,800
don't get to choose.
984
01:06:59,960 --> 01:07:02,080
I don't want to go back to factories.
985
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:11,360
Talented or not,
one has to be shameless.
986
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:16,600
Otherwise how can one
survive on YY?
987
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:22,080
His life is probably tough too.
Hustling every day.
988
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:26,800
Must be tough too.
989
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:32,320
Let's be honest -
during last year's competition,
990
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,000
didn't I have the best momentum?
991
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:36,960
But I still lost in the end.
992
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,320
People will forever remember
you as the loser.
993
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,720
Nobody recalls how awesome
you were in the process.
994
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:47,120
This is reality. This is YY.
This is our society.
995
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:49,000
We can only accept it.
996
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,280
(music continues)
997
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:54,960
In order to attract eyeballs,
998
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,400
live streaming shows are going to extremes.
999
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,240
An online hostess...
1000
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,920
had group sex with two men
and a woman in a rental property.
1001
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,640
And she live streamed the whole thing.
1002
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,760
The suspect confessed that he stole...
1003
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:12,600
in order to become an online celebrity.
1004
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:16,360
He live streamed his burglary...
1005
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,160
to attract fans and get famous.
1006
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,640
A Taiwanese hostess live streamed in tears.
1007
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:23,920
She swallowed more than 20 sleeping pills,
1008
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,000
and also slit her wrist.
1009
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,760
Even after she was sent to the hospital,
1010
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,360
she live streamed her treatment process.
1011
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:40,920
Now every agency wants to IPO.
1012
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,440
Now every agency wants to IPO.
1013
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:49,120
To IPO, you need
the help of venture capital.
1014
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:54,240
Venture capital invests in you
in exchange for shares.
1015
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:58,320
Why is this year's competition
rumored to be super exciting?
1016
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,920
Because venture capital
is spending money.
1017
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:06,280
This year's competition is crazy.
1018
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,800
Every agency is working to...
1019
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:13,760
get their hosts into
the annual competition.
1020
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:15,600
Who doesn't want to win?
1021
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:20,560
She won last year, so this year
she's the most promoted host on YY.
1022
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,040
Without a No. 1, look at...
1023
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,800
all the new faces on YY now.
1024
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,520
They can easily replace her.
1025
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,280
Does my dress look OK today?
1026
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:35,560
Maybe I should wear a hat.
1027
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:39,800
Does this look better?
1028
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,240
You think seeing my shoulders
is a special treat?
1029
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,440
I'll let you see my breasts
after the competition, OK?
1030
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,360
(music continues)
1031
01:09:57,440 --> 01:09:59,800
Li's fans have lost for three years.
1032
01:10:00,440 --> 01:10:02,880
The 4th year -
it should be our turn to win.
1033
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,920
You're committed to help me win, right?
1034
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:13,360
Brother Wong, tell no one
about our deal. No one.
1035
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:15,720
Let me hand the phone to him, chief.
1036
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:20,280
Where are you?
It's Fa Ge.
1037
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,760
Let me know your final decision.
We don't want to screw up our plan tonight.
1038
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:34,600
Last year Picasso and Shen Man
won Best Host awards.
1039
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:40,080
Can they and other winners from last year...
1040
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,400
successfully defend their titles?
1041
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:47,320
The question remains -
brothers, who will you support?
1042
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:00,720
Here comes the fish.
1043
01:11:04,480 --> 01:11:05,880
I miss daddy.
1044
01:11:06,480 --> 01:11:10,800
-Where is your daddy?
-In Guangzhou. Having meetings.
1045
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:17,640
-Where is he having meetings?
-In a big bright room.
1046
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,640
-What meeting?
-A computer meeting.
1047
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:23,680
Tasty?
1048
01:11:26,440 --> 01:11:28,960
I guess there's still hope for us.
1049
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,760
Maybe I gave him too much pressure.
1050
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:35,440
I want him to...
1051
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:38,680
handle his work well.
1052
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,440
I also want him to be...
1053
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:46,080
a good husband, a good father.
1054
01:11:47,480 --> 01:11:50,720
It's impossible - he's only 25!
1055
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,560
(dramatic music starts)
1056
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:02,200
This year's highlight is
Picasso battling Big Li.
1057
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:04,320
They are the marquee hosts
of Lanyu and Yujia.
1058
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,160
They are the marquee hosts
of Lanyu and Yujia.
1059
01:12:06,440 --> 01:12:08,880
Agency Yujia is very successful.
1060
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,600
It's studying how to IPO...
1061
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:12,240
Lanyu is a new agency with deep pockets.
1062
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:15,440
Lanyu is a new agency with deep pockets.
1063
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,560
Agency Yujia's boss is called YY Fish.
1064
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,560
His identity is a mystery.
He doesn't even live in China.
1065
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,320
His identity is a mystery.
He doesn't even live in China.
1066
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:28,760
Fa Ge is a loan shark from
Big Li's hometown.
1067
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,320
Fa Ge has promised to spend...
1068
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,400
$5 million.
1069
01:12:35,480 --> 01:12:36,720
Fa Ge is awesome.
1070
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:38,960
The money he has!
1071
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,960
Agencies spend to spur consumption.
1072
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:45,800
Once an agency supports you,
1073
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,040
patrons consider you more likely to win.
1074
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:50,600
So they support you too.
1075
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:51,640
So they support you too.
1076
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:54,840
It's hard to predict who will win.
1077
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:55,640
It's hard to predict who will win.
1078
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:56,040
It all depends on Fa Ge's wealth.
1079
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,000
It all depends on Fa Ge's wealth.
1080
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:58,880
It all depends on Fa Ge's wealth.
1081
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,680
Now the battle is between the agencies.
1082
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:10,960
Since I started competing
in the annual competition,
1083
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,040
it's been four years.
1084
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:18,480
I've lost three times.
1085
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:20,880
This year I have
the best chance to win.
1086
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:23,480
This year I have
the best chance to win.
1087
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,600
I don't know
if this will be my last time.
1088
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,400
This is not only for you,
my brothers,
1089
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,200
but also for Lanyu, and myself.
1090
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,400
I want to go all out for once.
1091
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,120
As long as I can feed myself,
1092
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,920
I'm willing to risk everything.
1093
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:48,040
(metal clanking)
1094
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:53,440
(light turned on)
1095
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,400
(digital sound of logging in)
1096
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,400
I've waited so long for today.
1097
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:14,520
Fight!
1098
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,240
140k fans... wow 150k now!
1099
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:20,400
My god!
1100
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:25,600
Brothers,
1101
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:26,040
Brothers,
1102
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,280
let's get to 1 million votes!
We are at 980k now.
1103
01:14:29,480 --> 01:14:31,320
We are barely behind them!
1104
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:33,960
(canned laughter)
1105
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:36,400
Thank you, Yong.
1106
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:38,840
Fuck yeah!
1107
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:45,000
It's been only an hour.
Big Li has almost 2 million votes.
1108
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,880
[Shen Man] Don't you mock me yet.
"Go find your hubby for help"?
1109
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:52,320
Brother, it's still too early.
Don't you underestimate me.
1110
01:14:52,440 --> 01:14:54,800
I'm scared of her 700k votes?
1111
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,680
Tell her without 10 million,
she has no fucking chance!
1112
01:14:57,760 --> 01:14:58,960
(crowd cheering)
1113
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:02,640
(airplane takes off)
1114
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:09,120
(airplane takes off)
1115
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:22,600
Thank you brothers for your gifts.
1116
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:38,240
Live in the moment!
Let's all go crazy!
1117
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,840
[MC] Fa Ge just arrived.
1118
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:44,640
Thank you Fa Ge!
1119
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:45,600
Thank you Fa Ge!
1120
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:52,720
[Picasso MC] Brothers!
1121
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,080
Don't stop buying votes!
1122
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:57,160
YY Fish is fighting alone!
1123
01:15:58,480 --> 01:16:01,080
(MC screaming for votes)
1124
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:13,640
YY has gone crazy!
1125
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:15,360
Hurry or you'll miss it!
1126
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,640
Fuck, all that money.
If only it were mine.
1127
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,680
(crew chatting)
1128
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:45,000
Lower it like this?
1129
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:47,440
Should I bare a shoulder?
1130
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,040
Hi, Shen Man.
I am a reporter from Hunan TV.
1131
01:16:52,480 --> 01:16:54,360
From a nobody to...
1132
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:58,840
someone on top of
the live streaming world.
1133
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:00,240
someone on top of
the live streaming world.
1134
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,040
Do you consider yourself a star?
-I don't feel that way.
1135
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,960
I'm just an average person
who got lucky.
1136
01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:09,760
I grew up poor.
1137
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:14,000
Sometimes we couldn't even
afford rice or vegetables.
1138
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,160
I remember right after
my dad's bankruptcy,
1139
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:17,080
I remember right after
my dad's bankruptcy,
1140
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,400
I only had $50k in the bank.
1141
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,160
I spent over $35k and
bought him a car.
1142
01:17:22,480 --> 01:17:24,920
When I sat in his car,
1143
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,360
I'd remember when I was a child...
1144
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:29,760
I remember...
1145
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,880
back in Zhongshan...
1146
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:38,200
Stop filming.
1147
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,160
Yes, because...
1148
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:54,840
Because... my dad always adored me.
1149
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,000
I remember being
so happy in his car...
1150
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:58,800
when I was a child.
1151
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:00,720
Even though my mother...
1152
01:18:01,480 --> 01:18:04,640
My mother and I are
not in touch. But still...
1153
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,120
So now you are working so hard...
1154
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:15,800
because you feel obligated to
support the entire family?
1155
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,920
Yes. My sister is
about to go to college.
1156
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,680
I'll probably have to
support her too.
1157
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,000
But I feel this is what I should do.
1158
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:27,280
But I feel this is what I should do.
1159
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:29,240
Are you happy?
1160
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:31,200
In what sense?
1161
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:32,880
Overall.
1162
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:35,520
I'm happy.
1163
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,240
Compared to many others,
1164
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:42,440
I think I should be happy.
1165
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,440
(slow suspenseful music)
1166
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:55,360
I think this time...
1167
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,040
Big Li should win.
He should win.
1168
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:00,400
Because he's gone insane.
1169
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:04,440
I've set aside $400k of
my own cash to buy votes.
1170
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:09,200
Plus all my earnings
will be spent on votes too.
1171
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:11,840
So I'll spend about $850k.
1172
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,320
I'm waiting for Fa Ge's instruction.
Be patient.
1173
01:19:16,480 --> 01:19:18,960
I'm also waiting.
I'm also waiting.
1174
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:20,800
(phone ringing)
1175
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:22,880
Yes, Fa Ge.
1176
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,440
Wait - do we fight back tonight?
1177
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:27,400
Not tonight.
1178
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,400
So you're OK with him
leading by 8 million votes,
1179
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:32,920
even though you have
enough to buy 20 million***
1180
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:34,720
even though you have
enough to buy 20 million***
1181
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:38,880
Why is this battle so exhausting***
1182
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:41,040
Today we have to...
1183
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,320
get back to the top.
Otherwise we lose the momentum.
1184
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:45,160
get back to the top.
Otherwise we lose the momentum.
1185
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:48,520
Let's fight for
Agency Lanyu and Fa Ge!
1186
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,520
Fight for Lanyu and Fa Ge!
1187
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,960
Fa Ge keeps asking me
how much my patrons have prepared.
1188
01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:01,080
Just now?
1189
01:20:01,480 --> 01:20:03,560
He's been like this lately.
1190
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:07,320
People may think
we're scamming my patrons.
1191
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:11,520
Yes, Fa Ge?
1192
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,440
Are you going to spend tonight?
1193
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:24,920
Huh!
1194
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:26,480
Haha!
1195
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,200
How can I pretend
everything's still OK?
1196
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:37,200
In 10 minutes, YY Fish
spent $600k on Picasso.
1197
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:38,520
And he's still spending.
1198
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,760
What? Wenjing is No. 1 now?
1199
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,800
Let her surge ahead.
There's still plenty of time.
1200
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,040
3 million... 3.9 million votes...
1201
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:00,560
Wow, 6 million!
1202
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:02,160
She's at 9 million now.
1203
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:04,680
(celebratory music playing)
1204
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,760
Thanks to all the Kings!!!
1205
01:21:13,440 --> 01:21:17,360
(phone ringing)
1206
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:19,720
-Hello
-[Patron] What just happened?
1207
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:21,160
I think we should...
1208
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:22,600
give up now.
1209
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:23,120
give up now.
1210
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,800
-How many votes does she have?
-Ten million.
1211
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,880
We underestimated Wenjing.
1212
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:33,560
Her big boss Zhao Benshan
has too powerful a network.
1213
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:35,360
It's impossible to beat them.
1214
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:38,640
Let's see what your boss decides.
1215
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:41,880
This bizarre YY...
1216
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:48,800
(heavy melancholy music)
1217
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:58,880
(music ceases abruptly)
1218
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:00,760
Fa Ge ran out of money.
1219
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:01,040
Fa Ge ran out of money.
1220
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:01,560
Fa Ge ran out of money.
1221
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:07,520
Once your boss stops spending,
no patron wants to continue.
1222
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:09,920
What did Patron Wong say?
1223
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,200
He can spend another $600k.
1224
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:15,200
Not nearly enough!
1225
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:16,760
But what can I do now?
1226
01:22:17,480 --> 01:22:18,240
[Patron] Big Li,
1227
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:21,080
you are such an idiot!
I'm so mad.
1228
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:25,400
Obviously, Fa Ge didn't
spend $5 million on you.
1229
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:26,800
He didn't!
1230
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:31,200
Where the hell is his money?
He didn't even spend much.
1231
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,960
I had planned to spend more,
but I stopped myself.
1232
01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:36,720
I'm so fucking pissed.
1233
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,600
Don't talk big
if you don't have the money.
1234
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:42,240
Can't believe he did this.
1235
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,000
He tricked you and scammed everyone.
1236
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:50,280
Or everyone will say
Big Li and Fa Ge scammed us together.
1237
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:55,160
(eerie music playing)
1238
01:23:01,480 --> 01:23:05,440
Fa Ge is a...
smart businessman after all.
1239
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:08,160
Many consider him a scammer.
But I think...
1240
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:11,040
in real business...
1241
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:14,400
there's no ethics to speak of.
1242
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:19,880
Hosts are trapped by the promise of
fame from this annual competition.
1243
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,000
YY is different now.
1244
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:24,440
If you want fame,
don't expect to make any money.
1245
01:23:24,440 --> 01:23:25,080
If you want fame,
don't expect to make any money.
1246
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:29,120
You'll lose money if you want to win.
1247
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:32,600
The better your ranking is,
the more your agency has to spend,
1248
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:34,880
the more you have to pay back.
1249
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:36,920
So you'll lose money.
1250
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:45,840
This competition has succeeded
in milking everyone's money.
1251
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:50,240
It's carefully designed
so nobody can afford to lose.
1252
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:51,800
But what can we do?
1253
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:52,560
But what can we do?
1254
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:55,920
We all play within
the rules of this game.
1255
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:56,560
If the game designer
ever changes a rule,
1256
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:57,320
If the game designer
ever changes a rule,
1257
01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:58,640
If the game designer
ever changes a rule,
1258
01:23:58,640 --> 01:23:59,000
If the game designer
ever changes a rule,
1259
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:02,080
a winner could immediately
become a sucker.
1260
01:24:02,440 --> 01:24:06,520
A slew of high-growth Chinese Internet companies
have quarterly earnings coming up.
1261
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:12,400
YY, one of China’s online social platforms,
is set to report earnings after the close on Tuesday.
1262
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,080
Analysts project earnings to jump 60%.
1263
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:16,600
YY’s share has risen 53% this year.
1264
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:17,880
YY’s share has risen 53% this year.
1265
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:21,440
YY shares revenue with its hosts.
1266
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,960
YY takes almost 60%,
1267
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:27,800
while hosts and their agencies
share the other 30-40%.
1268
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:30,760
That's why YY is a very
sticky and profitable business.
1269
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,400
That's why YY is a very
sticky and profitable business.
1270
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:35,640
(digital glitch sound)
1271
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:51,520
I don't think this virtual world is...
1272
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:56,080
that much different from real life.
1273
01:24:56,240 --> 01:25:00,160
Only that this platform helps release...
1274
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:05,440
some energy that is otherwise
suppressed in real life.
1275
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:10,520
We have 105 million active users on YY.
1276
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:14,200
One million hosts are on our platform.
1277
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,480
Most of them live in the virtual world.
1278
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:22,680
They may lack friends in real life.
1279
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:28,240
So this platform allows them to
more truthfully express themselves.
1280
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:30,240
(soft eerie music continues)
1281
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:32,600
I'm not lonely.
1282
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:35,520
I can watch Big Li
on my computer everyday.
1283
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:38,200
It's very exciting to watch.
1284
01:25:38,480 --> 01:25:39,840
It makes you wonder too -
1285
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:40,800
It makes you wonder too -
1286
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:42,360
Why is it so easy
for others to make money,
1287
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:43,280
Why is it so easy
for others to make money,
1288
01:25:43,480 --> 01:25:44,440
and so difficult for me?
1289
01:25:44,440 --> 01:25:45,280
and so difficult for me?
1290
01:25:46,440 --> 01:25:48,320
I don't have any dream.
1291
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:50,720
No dreams.
1292
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:51,480
No dreams.
1293
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:57,040
I feel completely isolated from the world.
1294
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:01,720
Everyday other than
watching Shen Man's shows,
1295
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,200
there's only work.
1296
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,480
But her showroom has too many people.
She won't notice any simple chat.
1297
01:26:07,480 --> 01:26:09,680
But her showroom has too many people.
She won't notice any simple chat.
1298
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:13,320
If you want to interact with her,
1299
01:26:13,480 --> 01:26:15,960
buying her gifts is the only way.
1300
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:28,800
Look - Shen Man's die-hard fans
are still waiting in her room.
1301
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:37,120
It's meaningless for her to continue.
1302
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:41,200
If she didn't drop out of
the competition,
1303
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:45,840
both her patrons and her agency
would hemorrhage money.
1304
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:48,840
And she would make no money in the end.
1305
01:26:49,440 --> 01:26:52,080
It's totally pointless.
1306
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,800
Look at the battle
between Big Li and Picasso.
1307
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,560
Picasso will end up losing
$650k of his own money.
1308
01:26:59,960 --> 01:27:02,920
Big Li will lose almost $1 million.
1309
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:06,880
So both have already lost.
Only the platform is the winner.
1310
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:08,920
Two fucking losers.
1311
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,680
(soft music starts)
1312
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:21,920
Anyhow...
1313
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:27,480
I may need some time to recover.
1314
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:29,120
Then...
1315
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:34,640
when I have courage to
come back and face you all...
1316
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:38,760
Maybe a week.
1317
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,040
Maybe three days.
Maybe six months.
1318
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:43,680
Maybe a year.
1319
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:45,760
Or maybe I'll never return.
1320
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:50,960
Wait for me?
1321
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,320
What if I never come back?
1322
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,480
No, I didn't do my makeup.
1323
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,000
What if you'll stop loving me
after one look?
1324
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:06,680
Just a glimpse?
1325
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:08,000
(music stops)
1326
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:11,720
(mouse click)
1327
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:16,760
(mouse click)
1328
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:17,920
Beautiful, huh?
1329
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:22,040
Told you that you'd fall in love
after just one look.
1330
01:28:25,440 --> 01:28:27,280
Thank you all for being here.
1331
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,920
It makes this virtual world
feel less fake.
1332
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:34,360
OK, I'll shut up now.
1333
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:38,240
But if you want to buy me gifts,
buy expensive ones like diamond rings.
1334
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:40,360
(Shen Man giggles)
1335
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:42,000
Good night.
1336
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:43,000
(mouse click)
1337
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:03,440
However you'd like to vent,
take it out all on me.
1338
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:07,560
I didn't scam anyone for money.
1339
01:29:13,440 --> 01:29:14,720
That's the truth.
1340
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:25,400
I'm sorry, everyone.
1341
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:38,000
(Big Li breathes heavily)
1342
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:42,560
Let me play a song.
1343
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:45,720
Which song though?
1344
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:47,840
(energetic music starts)
1345
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,080
I'll never compete again.
1346
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:56,200
I only bring you disappointment.
1347
01:29:58,440 --> 01:30:00,120
Only disappointment.
1348
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:09,600
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
1349
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,160
(Big Li cries harder)
1350
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:25,520
I miss my son.
1351
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:32,640
I miss my son.
1352
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:40,480
My life actually sucks.
1353
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:45,480
For four years,
YY has been my everything.
1354
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:52,560
