[Wanna Be]

[Shiwei Group Recruitment and Training Manual]

[Han Yijing makes a strong comeback,] She's back with a vengeance,

[proving to be the best role model]

proving herself as the ultimate savage queen.

[The shocking truth behind supermodel Han Yijing's car accident]

[No wonder she had access to so many top fashion opportunities,

[probably the perks of being a mistress.]

[Doctors confirm that she's seriously injured]

[and will require surgery followed by a long recovery.]

[You Ning is much easier on the eyes.]

[Once a fashion sensation]

[Han Yijing may never return to the runway after her car accident.]

[Two years ago, Han Yijing, the star of a renowned agency,]

[suffered a tragic car accident.]

[The once most sought-after supermodel suddenly vanished from the public eye.]

[Now, another top model from Moyi Road, You Ning, is rising rapidly,]

[becoming] A change

[the most commercially valuable model] of era?

[after Han Yijing!] It's just a job.

[Ms. Ling]

[Throwing away her career for a man isn't worth it at all.]

[She must have done something wrong.] Apparently,

[Why else would she be alone] it was

[on the airport expressway?] because of a man,

[Rumor has it she was trying to flee] one

[the country when the accident happened] who was already married.

[What a waste of talent. I really hope she returns to the industry.]

[Is she actually disabled?]

[If so, her dream of being an international supermodel is over.]

[Seems like the rumors are true!]

[Public opinion has turned against her, yet she's staying silent.]

No wonder she's so sharp-tongued.

Hey,

Leica.

You have no one but me now.

[You Won't Know the Outcome Until You Try]

[Episode 3]

Hailiwang!

You don't recognize me?

Fire extinguisher.

My foot.

Bro.

It's you.

I'm sorry.

I was reckless.

Are you all right now?

You're lucky you ran into me.

If it were someone else,

they would've totally exploited you.

I'm new to this.

I lack experience.

It won't happen again.

Again?

Bro,

are you free?

Let me treat you to a meal

as an apology.

I have a scooter.

I'll drive you there.

Did you do this on purpose?

Don't worry. A meal or two like this

won't make you fat.

That's exactly what overweight people think.

Then why did you choose this job?

Why are you selling fish at Hailiwang?

To make money.

Same here.

I want to make more money

so I can have a better life.

How much does this job pay?

It's hard to say.

It depends on the person.

Take Yijing and me, for example,

our earnings

are worlds apart.

Even if my pay isn't great, it's still higher

than yours.

How long does it take to start making money

after entering this industry?

It depends on the person.

Just share your own experience.

One month.

It's all about luck and talent.

By the way,

you owe me for your chance to be on the runway.

If not for me, you wouldn't...

Something urgent came up.

We'll catch up another time.

Have you paid the bill?

Have you paid the bill?

How is it?

Is my dad okay?

Keep your voice down.

He just fell asleep.

Aren't all his blood pressure meds in the box?

How could he not find them?

Because he can't see.

He can see,

just not clearly.

Fan,

Mr. Jia has quite a few bruises

on his arm and leg.

Don't tell me you didn't see them.

He won't use pain relief patches

because he's afraid you'll notice the smell.

Just like how he was dead set against me calling you today.

Fan,

how about hiring a caregiver?

Just for the daytime, with two meals included.

It won't cost much.

Xiaoru,

do you know the Billion Light Model Competition?

We're incompatible.

Trouble follows every time I meet him.

It's happened twice now.

Why did he go to the hospital?

I have no idea.

Yet he insisted on treating me to a meal

and asking all these weird questions.

It was like an interview.

How did you get into modeling?

How much can you earn?

When will you start earning money?

Yijing.

At least have a bite, Yijing.

Could you send me the contact details

of the friend

who took me to the hospital

that evening?

All right, thanks.

Stop joking.

You think just because you're taller and have a better figure,

you can become a model?

I'm telling you, it won't work.

You'd be better off becoming a chef in France.

How come others believe it can work?

But the people I'm closest to...

It's because you're close to me

that I dare to tell you the truth.

I need to look out for you.

Fan,

I know you have many talents,

but we need to face reality.

The reality is that I'll be stuck selling fish

in the market forever?

That's not what I meant.

You

know I'm rebellious.

The more others doubt me,

the more I want to prove myself.

So don't try to persuade me.

It'll only have the opposite effect.

Has something happened, Fan?

Why are you suddenly thinking of switching careers?

It's not that I doubt you,

I'm just afraid you'll make the wrong choice.

You can't let a few compliments

cloud your judgment.

His eyes can't be fixed,

and surgery won't help.

All these years, I've done nothing,

and I've been too afraid to go far.

But it doesn't change anything

because his vision keeps getting worse,

and in the end, he still won't be able to see.

So I've made up my mind.

Instead of staying stuck,

I might as well take a risk.

I need him to see

that his son

can do more than just sell fish.

Have you decided what you'll do then?

Be a model?

Or be a chef?

It's all up to you.

Since you insist on taking the risk

and I can't stop you,

I'll just follow along.

After all, you are important to me.

If you choose to be a chef,

I'll help take care of Mr. Jia with my mom.

It will only be a couple of years anyway.

If you want to be a model,

I'll help you prepare.

I'll use all my connections

to back you up.

Whatever you decide,

I'll support you unconditionally.

Just go ahead and give it your all,

and leave the rest to me.

Don't embarrass me.

All right.

But I really need to ask this.

What connections do you actually have?

I have plenty of connections.

[Hailiwang Seafood]

Forget about the audition.

It's impossible.

Who are you?

The unbeatable warrior?

Stop wasting time

on pointless matters.

If you insist on going against me,

don't say I didn't warn you.

A so-called role model like you

actually got my phone number without permission

and even sent private messages to threaten me.

Aren't you worried I'll expose you?

Congratulations, you've successfully sparked my fighting spirit.

I'll make sure to work hard just to disappoint you.

Warrior, see you on the battlefield.

Hello?

Think you can challenge me, huh?

How dare you hang up on me?

I'm not going back. Head to the market instead.

Which market?

Hailiwang Seafood.

Why not call him and ask him

to come to the car?

Fan, I'm done for the day.

Take care.

See you tomorrow.

Still busy, huh?

Careful.

Thanks.

I'm off.

Take care.

Qu Ruoqing?

[Hailiwang Seafood] Don't worry,

I'm not here to poach anyone.

I

just want to treat you to a meal

as your junior,

as a way to bid you farewell.

Has it been decided?

When will it be?

Tomorrow evening.

That's good.

Congratulations, Ms. Qu,

the future leader of Shiwei Group.

But it doesn't matter.

Some people just won't help me,

no matter how much I ask.

It's not that I don't want to help,

I just can't leave.

You know my situation.

Even though staying here might seem pointless,

I can't be too far away.

Just in case I'm needed,

I want to be there for him as soon as possible.

Then you can take him with you.

I can help you apply...

Forget it.

He's old,

unfamiliar with the place,

can't speak the language,

and can't even see clearly.

Why put him through all that?

It's all right.

Maybe this is just life.

Perhaps my next opportunity

is just around the corner,

or maybe you'll find someone

better than me soon.

You make it sound as if we're breaking up.

It's basically the same.

What was that all about?

Probably a fan.

As you know,

I'm a big star in this market.

Han Yijing.

That's Han Yijing.

Yes, it really is her. It's Han Yijing.

Han...

Could you please sign this for me, Han Yijing?

It really is Han Yijing.

Why is she here?

Do you know each other?

The night of her car accident,

she was supposed to attend

the 8th-anniversary reciprocal banquet of my dad's company.

You wouldn't know,

but because of this,

my dad and I were surrounded by reporters for days.

But we honestly didn't know anything.

What a wonderful person she was,

gentle, kind, and easygoing.

It's such a pity.

Hurry and drive the car over here.

I'm not sure where I am.

Quick.

Move in a bit more.

You...

Don't talk.

Where did she go?

Remember to wear a mask next time you go out.

Didn't you say no one knows me in the market?

You didn't come all the way here

just to verify that, did you?

I'm not that free.

I came specifically to warn you.

Watch your words.

I'm helping you right now.

I hope

you'll give up on the open audition.

Otherwise...

How do you know Qu Ruoqing?

What did you talk about with her?

Does it have anything to do with me?

Didn't you hear it?

I couldn't hear clearly.

They're gone now.

Let's go outside.

Don't move.

Let's go outside.

She described you as gentle, kind, and easygoing.

It's obvious you two don't know each other well.

Why did she bring me up?

Did you tell her...?

Han Yijing.

Listen,

I've saved you twice.

I don't expect anything in return,

but you shouldn't make things difficult for me,

or don't say I didn't warn you.

I have something on you,

so you're not in a position to negotiate with me.

Consider this official notice:

I'm signing up for the audition,

whether you like it or not.

Hey, Xiaoru,

I've made my choice.

Help me with the audition.

Are you sure?

Yes, I won't give up until I reach a dead end.

Then I have a condition.

Go ahead.

If you really got lucky,

the personal stylist for supermodel Jia Fan

would have to be me,

Dong Xiaoru.

Deal.

As a model,

you must have excellent time management skills:

sleeping early and waking up early.

Next,

you must constantly monitor your physique.

Whether or not you look good in clothes

depends on your muscle definition.

You must avoid midnight snacks,

especially carbs.

Also, practice taking selfies.

At least fifty a day,

with no filters.

These are all you've got?

I'm counting on you, the top stylist.

Fashion sense is the most basic,

yet the most crucial,

and it can't be developed overnight.

Do you still have the outfit I mentioned last time?

Save it for me.

I'll be there soon.

I'll handle the styling,

but you'll have to work on your runway walk.

And it's urgent.

Don't worry.

I have it all planned out.

So, you were the one who called me

earlier?

I'll count on you now, Mr. Pit.

Hang on.

Who's Mr. Pit?

Are you making fun of me?

Aren't you Mr. Pit?

It's Peter.

And my last name is Li, not Pit.

Peter is just my English name.

Also,

you can leave now, I can't train you.

Wait.

Why can't you train me?

Isn't it obvious?

Everyone who comes here

has been training for one or two years

for this competition,

and now they're just giving it that final push.

As for you,

you're a complete beginner

with less than two months left.

How could I possibly train you?

Didn't you say it was a ten-day crash course?

With a ninety percent pass rate.

Me?

When did I say that?

Stop joking around.

Contact me anytime if you're interested.

Also, promote it to the neighbors.

I'll give you a commission.

[Top model trainer]

I remember now.

I was probably too excited at the time.

And with ads,

there's always a bit of exaggeration, right?

If you can train me well, it won't be an exaggeration anymore.

Bro,

do you understand what I'm saying?

There are less than two months left,

it's too late now.

If you're talking about next year,

I'll take you in right away.

I can't wait until next year.

It has to be this year.

Have you forgotten who you are

after walking the runway

and getting some applause?

That is the Billion Light Model Competition,

the dream of so many people.

That's why it's worth giving it a shot.

If I don't make it,

I won't ask for a refund.

If I do,

I'll be your walking endorsement.

Think about it.

Just think.

A complete beginner,

in less than a month,

rises above the competition in a contest

with less than a 10 percent pass rate.

Is there anything more persuasive than this?

Regardless of whether I succeed or not,

there's no loss for you.

I heard that to boost the competition's hype,

Ms. Ling personally stepped in

to find trending unknowns from different places.

I guess that's why

she chose the curly-haired guy.

It's pointless.

Quit pretending.

You only let him take over

because you thought he was the right choice.

I doubt you just wanted him to make a fool of himself.

You're Han Yijing, after all.

You always take the runway seriously.

Why hasn't Shu Bo arrived yet?

He...

He went to celebrate his aunt's birthday,

her 60th birthday.

Didn't he just celebrate it?

Wasn't the last time based on the lunar calendar?

Can you make me a cup of coffee?

Okay.

[Yijing's Work Group]

You're not with Yijing, are you?

I just sent the photo to the group.

I'm so scared.

Please don't let it slip.

If she finds out, I'm done for.

Where is it? What time will it be over?

It's at the Hejing Building.

It should take about three hours.

Here's

your black coffee without sugar.

It helps reduce bloating and prevents weight gain.

Where is she?

Follow the instructions.

Lift your head.

Puff your chest out.

Open your shoulders.

Let your arms hang naturally.

Yes, slightly tuck in your elbows.

Gently tuck them in.

Good. When swinging your arms,

move your upper arms to lead the lower arms.

Turn your palms forward,

and extend your fingertips towards the ground.

Move forward by fifteen degrees,

then backward by fifteen degrees.

Good, follow my lead.

Ready, one, two, three, go.

Don't swing your arms

in the same direction as the lower limb.

Keep your knees from turning outward

or inward.

Let your eyes look straight ahead.

Not quite enough.

Keep going.

Elbows,

wrists,

and fingers.

Extend them toward the ground.

Move forward and backward by fifteen degrees.

Lift your head,

puff out your chest,

and tighten your abdomen.

Now, let's work on your gaze.

Your eyes should look into the distance.

Look ahead.

Not glancing around.

Your eyes should stay focused.

Focus on one spot.

Direct your attention to one place.

Focus.

Focus again. Don't give me a blank stare.

Treat me as your lover.

Show some warmth.

Give me some passion.

Too creepy.

Too cringey.

You are not looking like a thief.

Keep looking straight ahead.

Stay focused.

Imagine you're the brightest star

in the whole universe.

I can't take it anymore.

I've had enough.

It's been an hour already.

I'm exhausted.

You go ahead with your practice.

You should take a break too.

No worries. I'm not tired.

You've got some real determination, huh?

I believe in you.

The vibe here is nice.

Looks like the Billion Light Model Competition

is really something,

even these unlicensed training schools

are benefiting from it.

Yijing, what brings you here?

What a coincidence.

Let me explain.

I've kept saying

I wouldn't train him,

but this guy wouldn't give up

and kept begging me,

saying that he'd like to train with me.

But to be fair,

anyone with a dream is admirable.

He didn't do anything wrong.

If I call and report the unlicensed business,

that would be even more justified,

wouldn't it?

Oh, please, I beg you.

I'm in the process of getting the license.

It should be done in the next few days.

Come on.

I'm just doing a side hustle.

Could you step out?

Can't you see I'm taking a class?

Shut up.

You really mean it, huh?

I already told you, didn't I?

You said you weren't interested

and would never enter this industry.

Why the sudden change of heart?

Just like you,

it's all about fame and fortune.

As well as your dream.

Don't be embarrassed to admit it.

Yijing, I'm telling you,

this guy has potential.

He's serious, hardworking,

and a fast learner.

He's got talent.

Your hair is as messy as a bird's nest,

your clothes are full of wrinkles,

and your pants are too short,

not even matching your shoes.

With your current state,

you think you'll make it?

Don't even think about it.

You're right.

So, could you give me some guidance?

Guidance?

You've set the benchmark in the industry.

As a senior,

it should be easy for you to give me some guidance.

Are you sure?

Most people can't handle my taste.

I don't mind.

I'm hopeless anyway.

Might as well give it a shot.

Then close your eyes.

Why?

You want advice, right?

Then you need to trust me completely.

Never mind then.

All right.

Let's do this.

Han Yijing.

Stop right there!

Han Yijing.

Stop right there!

Why do you keep picking on me?

Is it because I know about your past?

Yes,

every time I see you, I just feel uncomfortable.

You should just expose everything online

and get it over with.

That way, both of us can be at ease.

Since you've helped me before,

I'll be honest with you.

This industry isn't as simple as you think,

especially for male models.

Every year, thousands like you

come and go,

wasting money and time,

and achieving nothing.

So stop dreaming

and do what you need to do.

What about you then?

After such a severe car accident,

you made a comeback in less than three years.

It must have been tough, right?

Enduring the rehabilitation process

while facing

an onslaught of negative comments online,

not to mention the aftereffects you're still dealing with.

You went through so much pain

and still decided to return to the stage without hesitation.

Why?

If you can do it, so can I.

Don't worry.

I won't bring up your past.

But please don't interfere with my choice.

After all, it was you who pushed me onto the stage.

You sparked my fighting spirit,

so you shouldn't be advising me to stop,

nor should you take away my right to dream.

At first, it was just a hobby.

But then I met you.

When I saw you in front of the camera,

I felt a sense of accomplishment for the first time.

That's when I decided to keep going.

I'm determined to become

a photographer worthy of you.

No matter what others say,

I'll never give up.

But until the results are out,

no matter what others say,

I will give my all

and never give up.
