=Episode 3=

Where are you?

Didn't you say you would come over to help today?

I'm waiting for you downstairs.

Coming.

(Esports Hotel) I see you. Walk forward.

Tong Leyi!

I got this.

(2023, Winter, Beijing)

You've got a lot of stuff!

Well, I'm moving after all. I'm wiped out.

The New Year is coming.

Why are you moving now?

It's my roommate's fault.

She called her boyfriend back.

They're lovey-dovey all day. So annoying.

Right? Only stupid gets into relationships.

Screw them!

Tong.

Is this your friend?

My younger brother, Zihao.

This is my boyfriend, Yaoming.

Hello.

Hello.

He's free today?

He said he would help us move.

Just let him handle it.

Leyi, you have a boyfriend?

- Here, Sir. - It's long-distance.

We're not that close.

Do you really like him?

It doesn't matter whether I like him.

He isn't an average photographer.

He's based in Tokyo.

He shot five issues for Vogue this year.

If he can help me

secure an international edition cover,

I'll be set for life.

If you think it's worth it, then it is.

You do have a ton of things.

- Your delivery. - Thank you.

What's this?

Why are you still here?

Wait.

Weren't you just back for the New Year? It's like you're settling in.

Well, it's a surprise.

I don't plan to go back to Tokyo.

What about your job?

I can work here.

I can see you every day.

We don't need to do long-distance anymore.

Leyi.

Your boyfriend is like Zhou Shui.

How affectionate.

Who's Zhou Shui?

Let's break up.

(2007 Winter) Today at 18:05,

(2007 Winter, Beijing) our country successfully launched

the Chang'e-1 satellite into space

using Long March 3A at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.

This...

You're handsome.

You too.

Handsome.

Do you live here?

Neighbors.

Didn't we agree that I'll go back during the New Year?

What if I hold on a little longer?

Didn't we agree that I'll go back during the New Year?

It's only a few days.

I just want to hold on a little longer.

So what if I'm broke?

I just want to try again.

I'm so close

to making it happen.

Why don't you get it?

Never mind. That's it.

Anyway, I won't go back until the New Year.

(Air Transport Itinerary) Is this ticket bought by your mom?

She wants me to leave tomorrow.

But I've thought about it.

I'm not leaving.

I'm spending the holiday in Beijing.

Are you reflecting on your mistakes?

Dumbbell, I'm not leaving.

Why?

I found her.

I'm spending the New Year with her here.

So you're a hero now?

Yes!

Didn't you say you couldn't help her at all?

How are you going to spend the New Year with her?

I can come for an interview anytime.

I'm okay with any position.

I just need...

Hello?

You...

Hi.

What are you doing?

No, you...

What are you doing?

You...

Is it for me?

Thank you.

It's so cute.

What?

Yes.

I had an interview here.

How did it go?

It's not bad.

I'm pretty good.

I'm great?

Yes.

Yes, I'm great.

No, no need to be so excited.

I'm not that great.

I...

I lied.

I didn't secure a job at all.

I failed again.

Am I the only one who can't find a job?

I've been in Beijing for a long time.

I've run out of money now.

I have no savings left.

But I haven't found a job yet.

What?

Thank you.

Well,

let me tell you the truth.

I...

I don't care that much whether I can make it.

It's because I have an appointment with someone important

to meet in Beijing during the New Year.

I really want to see him,

but I can't stay in Beijing any longer.

I might not able to see him anymore.

Thank you.

I'll go home now.

I'm going home.

I'll take good care of it.

Come on, I can do it.

Bye.

Zhou Shui is a filmmaker.

He often mentioned

Golden Bear, Golden Lion, and Palme d'Or.

But you're a little bear.

I've decided.

From now on, I'll call you Palme d'Or.

Who is it?

It's me.

What happened to you?

I can't be her hero.

At least I can be her bear.

I need to learn from you.

It's you.

Why are you here?

For me?

(Do your best today too!)

You're quite good at dancing.

Do my best!

You have to do your best too.

It's you again.

(Don't be afraid! Dawn will come after the darkness.)

Thank you.

Why are you following me again?

No.

Don't you have your own life?

Where are you going?

Your money isn't with me. I won't...

You...

Don't hit him. You...

How can you hit people?

Director Zhou.

Director Zhou.

- Where's my money? - Let's talk it out.

Give me back my money.

Where's my money?

Help!

Zhou Shui!

Don't move!

Don't run!

Zhou Shui!

Zhou Shui.

Zhou Shui!

Zhou Shui!

Is Zhou Shui a narcissist?

Emotional vampire.

Daji is his blood bag.

Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder.

What does that mean?

Didn't Zhou Shui come to Beijing

to emotional blackmail Daji?

He's manipulating Daji,

sucking her energy and blood.

Are you talking about Zhou Shui

or Yaoming?

I'm different.

I have borderline personality disorder. They're no match for me.

Pursuing love from afar doesn't work on me.

But didn't you say

that guy's resources are important to you?

But he touched my bottom line.

It's okay for you

to give up your future and work,

but don't say it's for me.

I don't even want to be responsible for myself.

It's 6 PM.

Today is the New Year.

Are you looking forward to spending the New Year's Eve with me?

You want to pursue me?

No, don't talk nonsense.

I don't want to pursue you.

I don't like a little brat like you.

I don't like an old lady like you.

There's a karaoke session after the countdown. Are you going?

- Yes. - Yes, we're definitely going.

Let's go together.

Here, a toast.

Bottoms up.

Hurry.

Here. Assist.

Critical hit.

Critical hit.

Here.

Go. Hurry.

- Old Chives. - You came, Sweetie.

You haven't closed yet?

What would you like to eat?

Maybe some dumplings?

- About 50 grams. Eight yuan. - Sure.

Old Chives.

Wait.

I ate too much at noon.

I'll have a light soup

to settle my stomach.

(Calling Zhou Shui) Sorry, the number is out of service.

It's on the house.

Thank you.

I'll see what else is left.

If your parents saw this,

they would be worried.

I wonder how my daughter

is doing.

Dear friends,

While Ode to the Motherland is played,

the New Year's bell is about to ring.

Say goodbye to the past year.

Let us welcome

the New Year with hope.

Ladies and gentlemen.

There are only ten seconds left until the New Year.

Let's countdown together.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year, Dai Daji!

Zhou Shui!

I like you.

Let's stay in Beijing together!

Beijing bans the setting off of fireworks.

It's okay. No one will know.

Oh my, they're behind you.

They're catching up. Run!

Go. Run!

- I'm talking to you. Don't run! - Go.

- Don't run! - Hurry.

Don't run!

Hurry!

Zhou Shui!

Is something wrong with you?

Are you out of your mind?

Why did you come to Beijing?

Are you not going to study anymore?

Go!

Be careful.

Daji.

Here.

My name is Dai Daji.

My name is Zhou Shui.

On 5 July 2007,

I arrived in Beijing.

On 22 December 2007,

I also arrived in Beijing.

Then...

On 1 January 2008,

midnight,

we started a relationship in Beijing!

- Why are you still here? - Sorry. We didn't see anything.

Jingshu.

It's inappropriate

for you to live with Dumbbell.

It's okay. It's for your happiness.

It feels the best to make way for you lovely couple.

No. It's really inappropriate for you to live with Dumbbell.

I'll tell you the truth. The bunk beds in their room only cost 700 yuan.

I can save 50 yuan. I have to thank you.

I see.

Is there really no other way?

Zhou Shui.

Do I really have to live with her?

It's indeed inappropriate

for you to live together.

- Then let's forget it. - You don't get it.

I actually want to live with you.

Why are you so enthusiastic in packing then?

Here. Be careful.

Here.

- Be careful. - Perfect timing.

- Thank you, Jingshu. - Zhou Shui. It's alright.

Dumbbell, thank you.

It's fine.

Let me take that, Jingshu.

(With our friends' understanding and support,)

(we lived together...)

Zhou Shui.

Daji.

(Starting that night.)

We moved in together!

Well...

What?

Could you help me pull that?

Sure.

Thank you.

I think...

I think we should get to know each other.

Hello, my name is Shen Jingshu.

I know.

My name is Liang Yalin.

Just call me Dumbbell.

I know that too.

(Six Months Ago)

(Six Months Ago) Yujing Luxury Residence's deluxe room.

Yujing Luxury Residence?

Seems more like a prison to me.

Boss, give me a stuffed flatbread.

Hurry.

You came just in time.

It's the last one.

Three yuan.

Uncle, I want a stuffed flatbread.

Sorry, Sweetie.

It's all sold out.

He took the last one.

You take it.

It's fine.

I'll buy something else. Bye.

(Don't come in when the door's closed)

(Thank you)

You're more gentle

than I thought.

Always.

Are you going out?

I'm going out for a while.

Where are you going?

I'm going for a morning run.

At 3 AM?

Old Chives didn't open his stall today.

Zhou Shui!

What?

Carry me!

I can't.

I'll choke you.

Okay, let me carry you.

- You want to carry me? - What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You're exercising again, Dumbbell.

What's going on?

You...

- Has Jingshu gone to work? - We...

Jingshu's home and you're not going back?

- You're totally whippped. - What?

You trained your muscles for nothing.

- You know nothing. - We... Sure.

We don't know your kind of fun.

Zhou Shui.

How cool!

Suddenly? Today?

Move aside.

Move aside.

It's so cool.

I've always wanted a dresser like this.

My dream has come true.

Let's move it back.

But this is something that others don't want.

Others don't want it because they don't have good taste.

I want you.

Someone, come.

Hurry.

- What is it? - Hurry.

Glasses!

- Vest! - It's stuck.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Where did you get it?

Here. Is here okay?

Sure.

It's okay here.

Thank you, Vest and Glasses.

- Not bad, it's good stuff. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, no problem.

- Daji, here. - Not bad.

The last step.

Okay.

Daji, record it.

Daji's first dressing table.

This is the first dresser I ever owned.

It's still new.

Okay. Is it okay to put it there?

Leaving it here might not work.

I think it's in the way.

Let's move it.

Sure, give me a moment.

Hurry.

Here.

Are you okay, pretty?

Your voice is so sexy, handsome.

It's like we're in an idol drama.

- You think so? - I like it.

No.

Girl.

You're playing with fire.

Boy, you caught my attention.

(The 100 days we were together)

(were like in an idol drama.)

(In these 100 days,)

(time seemed to have stopped.)

(We were the only two left in the world.)

(In our first month together,)

(we rarely left our room.)

What are you doing?

Are you stealing my wontons again?

Mr. Chives, put it on the tab.

Thank you, Mr. Chives.

You're eating my food again?

Shut up.

It smells good.

(In this cozy rental house,)

(we officially started our life in Beijing.)

(Every 100 days from now on,)

(we will be together.)

(We will be together forever from now on.)

They're so disgusting.

Aren't they afraid of Norovirus?

January to March 2008,

(Argue, Play, Kiss, Hold Hands, Hug) they hugged a total of 54 times,

held hands 87 times, and kissed 120 times.

Why are you recording these?

A new AI model has been released recently.

It is said to be able to predict

more than 95% of the love outcomes in the world.

Why don't we test Scandalou Couple?

Sure.

Zhou Shui and Dai Daji's relationship

(Break Up Before 2010) will break up in two years.

How come it's only two years?

Didn't they say they would be together forever?

Why don't we continue watching

and verify it?

Sure.

(2008 Spring, Beijing) Hard work pays off.

(2008 Spring, Beijing) After submitting 100 resumes,

in the spring of 2008,

I finally received

an interview notice from Beautiful's

production team.

Hello. I'm here to apply for a job. Where's the filming crew?

Over there. Hurry up.

Thank you.

Hurry up and get everything ready, okay? Director Wen is urging us.

Hurry up, okay?

The same goes for that side.

- Director Wen! - Where is she?

The model has gastroenteritis and can't come.

I prepared such a big place. Yet you told me the model couldn't come.

The model couldn't come?

Where's the model? Am I paying you for nothing?

Hurry and find someone!

You hear me?

Okay.

Find someone.

Who are you?

Hello, Director Wen. My name is Dai Daji.

Do you have nothing to do? Hurry and find a model.

No, you may have misunderstood. This is my first day here.

I'm not familiar with this place. I'm here for an interview.

I might be a little nervous.

I'm 22 years old.

I graduated from Haikou University.

How about you go to the dressing room to catch your breath first?

Can I?

Sure. I'll find someone to pour you a cup of tea.

That's great.

I'm indeed a little nervous. A cup of tea might make me feel better.

Drink my foot.

Find someone for me now!

Get me a model!

We're starting filming, but we have no one to film.

Ridiculous!

What's wrong?

I think she's suitable.

Dai Daji, right?

- Getting on TV. Here. - My outfit is tragic today.

- Sit down. - Daji.

Are you popular?

No one knows you.

Go.

My mom knows me.

Sit down.

My mom watches TV every night.

I implore you all

to make me look prettier.

My mom will really watch it.

- Got it. - My mom is a loyal viewer of Beautiful.

Okay, here. Go away.

Go away. Everyone, quiet.

Get ready.

(Beautiful) Five, four, three, two, one!

Start!

Good afternoon, everyone!

Thank you, everyone. We all saw

the girl next to me

is

in a very bad state!

Very bad.

Her face is dull.

Her skin condition is very bad.

There are also acne marks.

Her boyfriend would freak out when he sees this!

What should we do?

Her boyfriend is already waiting for her downstairs!

What?

This...

Oh my god!

Don't worry.

The same magical whitening cream

that Hilton uses

doesn't cost 998 yuan.

It only costs 188 yuan!

188 yuan!

She'll become fair and beautiful in one second.

Mom, please don't watch this episode.

Director Wen.

What do you think of my performance today?

Who cares?

Didn't you say that you would accept me if I performed well?

When did I ever say that? You're here to be a model.

We already have an intern.

Wait.

Where's my car?

Why are you dawdling?

Right away.

But today I...

Give me your hand. Take it.

Daji, I'm back.

Zhou Shui, you're back.

What are you doing?

Incubating eggs?

I'm not incubating eggs.

Put your things down.

I want to show you something.

Come on, what is it?

Are you ready?

Yes, I am.

It's very exciting.

Come on.

- This is your... - No.

It's this one. This one.

KFC?

You...

Why did you put something so oily under the quilt?

I was afraid it would get cold, so I kept it warm for you.

Why did you suddenly buy KFC?

I made money today.

What about you? How are you today?

Those people are weird.

A bunch of clueless fools.

They will regret it later.

Eat this drumstick.

You're more tired.

Have you eaten?

It's okay. I'm not hungry.

Eat it.

Daji.

Have we run out of money?

We still have a little bit left.

I'm thinking whether I should

put the movie aside first.

I'll find a job and earn some money first.

What do you think?

What...

What are you doing?

Let's break up.

Break up?

Yes.

Why are we breaking up out of a sudden?

Why do you think

I love you

so much?

Why do you like me?

Yes.

Why?

Of course it's because

of my profound intellect

and overflowing talent.

I will become a director

who makes unique films.

I'm going to win Golden Rooster, Golden Bear,

Golden Lion, and Palme d'Or.

Give me Palme d'Or.

Here.

I showed you my work

in the inn,

and you understood it.

At that time, I felt

that we were born to be together.

Yes!

I'm telling you, Zhou Shui.

That's why I like you!

Oh?

I just like

how you glow

when you talk about your dreams.

But when you talk about money,

you lose your glow.

But I can't even buy you fried chicken

when you're with me.

How could it be like that?

I'm telling you.

Money is not a problem.

Because we have love.

When there's love,

sharing a piece of fried chicken

is what you call ride or die.

Starving together

is actually mutual support.

There's a saying called

love is enough to satisfy one's hunger.

Have you ever heard of this?

You're so pretentious.

It's indeed a little pretentious.

But what I want to tell you is that money is not a problem.

Don't worry.

Leave it to me.

So you're keeping me now?

Yeah.

No.

Why not?

Only losers rely on women.

What I'm going to say next

is very important,

so I want to put this on record.

I really don't know much about movies,

but I also know a director,

who was supported by his wife for ten years.

Later, he won an Oscar.

What is the name of this director?

Ang Lee.

Yes, Ang Lee.

Dare you say that Ang Lee is a loser?

Dare you laugh at him for being supported by his wife?

Film me.

I always think that the most important thing

about being a girlfriend is loyalty,

so I won't let you down. You mustn't let me down either.

Get it?

So Zhou Shui, you have to promise me

that you will only do one thing

from now on,

and that's to make movies.

Give it to me.

Do you agree or not, Zhou Shui?

You can only make movies.

Make movies!

Okay, no problem.

Come on, eat the fried chicken.

Come on.

I'm actually starving.

I'm going to eat it.

Eat it. I'm not hungry at all.

Yummy.

How is it?

Delicious.

It's good.

Expensive things are different.

(I don't want Daji to live a life)

(where we can't even afford fried chicken.)

(I'll make movies,)

(but what matters the most now is to make money.)

(After that day,)

(I contacted a material website.)

(They can pay for the videos I shot.)

(The price is a bit low.)

(I can only make a few dozen yuan a day,)

(but it doesn't matter.)

(Every little bit counts.)

(And I can choose what I want to shoot.)

What's your dream?

My dream

is to raise my kids

and send them to college.

My dream

is repair computers.

(The more I film, the more I realize)

(everyone's life in Beijing)

(is a good movie.)

(It tells the story of the distance between dreams and reality.)

Let me film you from all angles.

Don't forget to show it to Jingshu.

Sure.

I told you that the lens is expensive.

I want...

I want to buy a pair of contact lenses,

but I heard people say that they're expensive.

Up. Go.

Let's have a toast.

Here. Let's have a toast.

Here. Shui is recording.

Let's have a toast.

- Three, two, one, cheers. - Got it.

I'm recording, friends.

Come on.

What's your dream?

How difficult.

Same question, who wants to go first?

Who wants to go first?

I know your dream is to do trade.

Foreign trade is just big talk.

I have...

I have something to say.

I don't get why we can only play pirated versions

after playing so many games.

Look at Red Alert, CS, and Warcraft.

There are no Chinese games.

Am I right?

I have two things to say about this.

We didn't come to Beijing

for piracy.

We came to make

Chinese people's own games!

How determined.

- How ambitious. - Good.

Okay, it's my turn.

Let me speak.

Old Chives.

I'll be content

if I can open a shop

in Beijing.

Be a boss.

- Open a shop and be a boss. - Be a boss.

- Dong. - Dong, what about you?

What's your dream?

My dream is to become Ultraman.

Dong, I'm Ultraman.

- Transform. - I'm Ultraman.

It's my turn.

Are you ready?

Come on, my dream is to become China's bodybuilder

and China's Schwarzenegger.

Take one off.

Show it off.

Flex.

Look.

Okay.

Okay, Jingshu.

I want to change my fate with knowledge.

I want to finish college

and study for a master's degree,

a doctorate, and a postdoctorate!

She reached the top.

Are you going to study that much?

Zhou Shui.

Zhou Shui, come here. I'll film you.

Okay.

I want to use this as the background.

Okay.

My dream...

Tell us.

Let's try again. Here.

There's no cut, hurry up.

Okay. It's okay, I can edit it.

My dream...

Don't bother me.

My dream is to become China's

greatest director!

I have one more dream.

Be with Daji forever.

Director Shui.

China's Top, Director Shui.

Daji.

Go ahead.

My dream

is to become a rich woman!

What are you laughing at?

I'm serious. I'm telling you.

I want to become the richest woman in Beijing

and keep

China's greatest director.

It's me.

Okay.

Here. Let's shoot a small compilation. Let's film one together.

Let's count three, two, one and say "Beijing welcomes us", okay?

- Okay! - Here.

Three, two, one.

Beijing welcomes us!

Did you get it?

Did you get it yet?

(Our bold words)

(drifted above Beijing's skies,)

(so distant and unreachable.)

(18 years later,)

(when we reunite here,)

(Old Chives is already gone.)

(Glasses and Vest)

(started their own game company.)

(This rooftop...)

(No.)

(This whole building)

(has been bought by Jingshu.)

(Dumbbell really married Shen Jingshu.)

(When the gears of fate began to turn,)

(everything becomes inevitable.)

(There's no other ending.)
