[Destiny]

[Episode 2]

Liking me

is nothing to be ashamed of.

Hey.

I really have no feelings for you.

Bottle cap.

Compared to your magazine,

I now have

a much deeper impression of you.

Stop.

[Chu Xingyan]

Song Ruan,

all men are beasts.

You can't be just another fish in the player's pond.

Your task now is to make a good documentary,

get promoted and raise your salary,

go from ordinary to superstar.

[Chu Xingyan]

Just take another look.

This is the highest-rated variety show in the country.

Ten million in pay,

only two hours of recording per episode.

Others can't even get the chance.

I don't understand what you need to consider.

Why did we come to this city?

It was for Le's movie.

Now the person is here,

words have been spoken,

and suddenly we change our mind.

Can we still make it in the film industry?

She hasn't confirmed anything yet,

and the pay is low.

Xingyan,

I can be the bad guy here.

When we're at the cusp of opportunity,

we should cash in as soon as possible.

Not everyone gets this kind of chance.

I studied acting in school.

My dream is to become a real actor,

not some internet celebrity.

This year, I must transform and get back on track.

What's wrong with earning a little less?

The market favors you now.

What's wrong with being an internet celebrity?

Capital follows popularity.

Being an actor is a craftsman's path,

getting narrower as you go.

Every step is like climbing a mountain.

What if you don't act well?

In other words,

you don't have faith in me, right?

I didn't say that.

I just think it's difficult,

and not cost-effective.

Le's film will take over three months to shoot.

The pay is low, and you can't take time off.

It will affect your exposure.

Plus, making a movie is very stressful.

If the box office performance is poor,

it will affect your reputation.

I've said

I don't care.

Do you know why I went to negotiate for you

Ripple' documentary?

It's because there are rumors about your indecent private life.

I received information

saying there's some indecent video of you

that someone bought.

Isn't that scary?

What indecent video?

You don't know if I'm decent or not?

Aren't I trying to find a way to solve this for you?

Then hurry up and solve it.

You're imitating me again.

Have you seen the indecent video?

Not yet.

Haven't seen it yet.

You don't even know if it's me.

Go take a look quickly.

What if it's real?

Isn't this Chu Xingyan?

Sis.

Do you know how much one of his autographed photos can sell for?

How much?

50.

500.

If you just deal with his autographed photos,

you could make a small fortune.

They sell for that much?

But this guy,

he's so narcissistic and always flirting,

like a power generator.

He's pettier than a needle.

If he finds out I'm selling his photos,

he'll swallow me alive.

You're right about that.

This Chu Xingyan,

his reputation in the industry isn't really that good.

I've heard recently

that he's been talking with a female singer about some hotel

and lyrics or something.

But

they've never publicly announced their relationship.

Do you know what his nickname is?

What?

The Stabilizing Sea Needle.

What does that mean?

Oh, don't say anymore.

Oh my,

just think, if you could get on good terms with him,

how many clients could you bring us

for Tarot readings?

And all top celebs!

If we get more clients,

wouldn't the money just come pouring in?

Wouldn't you be able to eat the famous soaked rice

and order ribs and rice cakes whenever you feel like it?

Sis,

making money is the real deal.

But this guy...

He's still better than that what's-his-name

you called a beast.

Stop bringing that up!

Hey.

[Chu Xingyan]

Go shoot the film quickly.

This shooting schedule,

[Xingyan's Diary]

do you have any opinions on it?

[Xingyan's Diary]

Do you know why I'm going to help you negotiate

the documentary for Ripple?

because of the rumors about your improper private life.

I received information

saying there's some indecent video of you

that someone has bought.

Isn't that scary?

[Documentary Filming Plan]

You arrange the schedule.

I'll cooperate as much as I can.

Okay.

About the assistant matter...

I can't be

a full-time assistant.

Since you can't be an assistant,

then keep your phone on 24 hours a day.

No matter when I call you,

you can't reject it.

Why are you so controlling?

Not as much as your possessiveness,

little eel.

You'll get the exclusive scoop, you know.

Alright, no problem.

You have to guarantee

that you can give me three hours of shooting time every day.

Reply to messages instantly,

no later than two minutes.

I can't guarantee that.

What if I have...

Okay,

I'll try my best.

However,

you and I must keep some social distance.

Watch your behavior.

Who just grabbed my hand?

I did.

How far of a social distancing?

Like the distance between us right now.

We can't get any closer than this.

If you're chased by bad guys

and you throw yourself at me again,

what then?

It was an accident.

I won't fall for you.

Because I

don't believe in love at all.

Why?

Because all men are the same.

They turn into beasts once they get what they want.

That night,

did you also gain

a very beautiful memory?

Alright, let's leave it at that.

Don't worry.

I don't believe in love either.

This Chu Xingyan

really doesn't care about age,

daring to let me film this.

He's not afraid of ruining his image.

Thank you for your hard work, Miss Song.

Let me see.

Just film in this direction.

But this way, I can only film your back.

Hey, don't worry about it.

Focus on her face.

Zoom in a bit.

Who's that?

Miss Song is

a documentary director for the famous magazine “Ripple”.

She's currently filming a documentary about me.

Come closer, closer.

Come on, come closer.

Move in.

Didn't I tell you

we need to talk seriously about work?

Mom,

cooperating with the filming is my work.

We're aiming for authenticity.

Right, Miss Song?

Mom?

Don't mind the camera.

Say whatever you want to say.

Speak freely.

You know what I want to say.

I've carefully nurtured you since you were little,

invested so much time and energy in you.

I hoped you would inherit the family business,

not to be here filming this and that.

How much longer are you going to mess around

before you seriously return to the company?

What do you mean by not serious?

Is my work not serious?

Or are you saying Miss Song isn't serious?

Does she look unserious to you?

Even if you don't respect my choices,

you should at least respect Miss Song.

Can respect be eaten as food?

Can it take the family business to the next level?

Why not?

I'm not laughing at you,

but after being an actor for so many years,

have you won Best Actor

or Best Newcomer?

Has the industry ever recognized you?

I will get it.

I won't let you continue this nonsense.

I've arranged everything.

You can decide for yourself.

Cut, cut, cut! Stop filming.

Did you get all that?

It's been filmed.

Top-tier celebrity.

Despite family opposition,

persisting in pursuing an acting career.

This material is quite inspiring.

What the hell?

What are you doing?

Let's do a test shoot today,

to see how professional you are.

Don't take my card.

Chu Xingyan.

Confiscated.

You said I could film, but now you're asking me not to?

You can't take advantage

of my good nature.

I'm going to use this opportunity today

to teach you a harsh lesson.

In this world,

not everyone can do things happily.

I can't,

and neither can you.
