HAUNTED HOUSE LIVE BROADCAST

You may come down now.

Ding-dong! Here comes the lovey-dovey stuff! Please sign for it.

My old lady's heart can't take it.

Seeking an identical boyfriend.

I want such a tall and handsome boyfriend too!

What are the statistics now?

The fourth pair has a lot of screen time. Their statistics are good.

The Great Ye has a strong magnetism.

All right. Get the cameraman to follow closely behind them.

Give them most of the screen time.

We should be safe here.

I'm so tired.

Where is my shoe?

I lost my shoe while running!

My shoe is gone!

I lost my shoe while running!

Hold on.

FORTUNE ON ONE SIGHT

You're really troublesome.

Thank you.

Listen.

Shouldn't it be safe here?

Why does it feel like there are still ghosts lurking?

Why are you here?

I was blocked by the Black and White Impermanence.

-Let's go. -Okay.

MAZE

The thrilling date is finally over.

But has it really come to an end?

That would depend on your performance.

Before you go in,

we have come up with three questions for you.

If you answer them correctly, we'll consider this as a successful date.

If you can't answer them,

you'll have to go inside again to look for the answers.

All right. Here's the first question.

When you were on the course,

what music was playing in the background?

-"Symphony No. 5 in C minor." -"Symphony No. 5 in C minor."

That's right!

Both of you have very good chemistry!

Now we'll move on to question two.

Black and White Impermanence.

What was written on the hat of White Impermanence?

White Impermanence.

FORTUNE ON ONE SIGHT

Fortune on one sight.

That's right!

Last question!

What is the color of the fingernails

of the first female ghost you saw?

The first female ghost.

What is the color of her fingernails?

Green.

That's right!

Congratulations to both of you.

You have successfully passed today's dating test!

Next up, let us take a look at how the other couple is coming along.

Thank you.

Should I ask about the class reunion?

I don't think he'll turn me down just like that.

What should I do?

Is there a problem?

No. Not really.

BASIC JAPANESE 4

Bei Erduo, so you do have a boyfriend.

And he's so good-looking.

Why does he never pick you up before?

He's busy.

Erduo, your boyfriend is so handsome!

Erduo, teach me.

How did you manage to attract him?

Why do you like gossiping so much?

Erduo, does your boyfriend have any single male friends?

Introduce them to us.

-Yes! Introduce them. -Yes!

-Yes. -That's right.

The teacher is here.

Good day, everyone.

-Good day, miss. -Good day, miss.

Erduo, are you having a fever?

Go home and rest if you're not feeling well.

Don't force yourself.

Hello.

May I ask who you are?

Hello, I would like to consult regarding violin customization.

This way, please.

This way, please.

What would you like to drink?

-Coffee, thanks. -Sure.

Ye?

Ye, is it really you?

What a coincidence! Why are you here?

I didn't dare to call out the last time I saw you.

When I watch the show, I became sure that it was you.

I never thought that I'll meet you again here!

Who is Ye?

I have no idea.

Ye, it's me.

Lulu.

We were neighbors when we were kids.

Have you forgotten?

We have never met since you moved.

It's been so many years.

I can't believe that I'm seeing you here today!

Sorry.

Are you here to customize a violin?

Please have a seat here.

You may take your time.

Whatever. Anything is fine.

I'm sorry.

We don't have a "whatever "violin here.

I want Ye to customize it for me.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Ye does not take on personal orders.

Try it out.

It might work.

You try it.

Awesome!

I still can't open it.

CAN YOU TAKE ME TO THE CLASS REUNION, PLEASE?

Can you take me to the class reunion, please?

Lizi.

This is the new production assistant, Xing Zhen.

She's in charge of the other projects.

This is Tang Li,

the producer of Love in Progress.

In future, if you have any questions, you can ask her.

Hello, Ms. Tang.

I'm new here. I have a lot to learn.

Hello.

You don't have to be so courteous.

We're around the same age.

Just call me Tang Li.

How can I do that?

It's better to call you Ms. Tang.

I've watched your show.

I hope that in the future, I'll be able to produce such a good show too.

Sure. All the best.

I have faith in you.

Right, let me show you around the place.

-We'll leave you to your work. -Sure.

Erduo!

Ms. Bei.

Le Tian.

Have you seen my WeChat message?

I forgot to reply to you.

I'm sorry.

It's fine. Let's go together then.

It's a good chance to practice cycling.

It's on the way too.

Is it on the way?

But I have a rehearsal today.

I won't be going home.

All right then.

Is the guy in the show really your boyfriend?

For now, I guess he is. I don't know what the future holds.

I'll make a move first, Le Tian.

Tomorrow's theme is The Night of the Knight and the Princess.

There will be an archery competition tomorrow.

The results will determine the ranking and the ranking

will determine the costume you'll be wearing.

Next, please give a round of applause.

The teachers will give us a demonstration now.

They dance really well!

It's pretty good!

-Yes, they're really good. -That's right.

All right, fellow students.

This is how simple the waltz is.

Everyone, stand up and let's give it a try.

Find your partner.

All right, set up the proper posture.

We'll first practice the box step.

Three, two, one.

All right. Three...

The male's hands must be curved.

Relax. That's right.

Put the thumb and four fingers together.

For the lady, your thumb, over here.

Okay. How are you going to dance when you're so far apart?

Come closer.

That's right. Half of your body should be in contact with each other.

Start. One, two, three.

One, two, three.

That's right. Take your time.

You're stepping on me.

My bad. I'm sorry.

Ye Shuwei, can you make smaller steps? I can't keep up.

Okay, follow the tempo.

Okay.

Okay, you may now practice the rotation.

Practice the rotation.

The man has to hold on to the lady's waist.

Push apart.

Push your hands apart. That's it.

Ladies, look at your fingers.

Okay, turn.

One.

Two.

Three.

Hold her legs.

Turn.

Turn.

Put her down.

One, two, three, up!

You should really go work out at the gym.

You're the one who puts on weight!

How many times have I told you,

that you can't just be working on your muscles.

You need to watch your weight!

So it's my fault now?

How many times have you stepped on me?

You're going to make me look lame!

All right, fellow students.

Our class ends here today.

When you go back, please practice when you have the time.

Bye.

-Goodbye, teacher. -Goodbye, teacher.

All the best for tomorrow!

-All the best! -All the best!

Erduo, have you asked Ye Shuwei about the class reunion?

Yes, I have.

I asked through WeChat. He didn't reply to me.

This is so embarrassing.

Maybe he didn't see it.

Mr. Yu has gone to pick him up.

They should be here in a while.

We'll discuss on the next recording of the show.

You can just ask him directly then.

He's coming?

That's so awkward.

No way. I'm leaving.

As for the details of the next recording, can you just tell me at home?

-Why are you-- -Let go!

Stop holding me back! What are you doing? Let go!

-Ms. Tang. -Mom?

It's fine. Go.

-Auntie. -Mom!

Go home!

I'm working.

Auntie, we're working at the moment. Why don't you wait at the VIP lounge?

-Yes. -Wait? Work?

How dare you!

Are you living it up now?

Why did you quit your job without telling me? Are you crazy?

-Mom, listen to me. -What's there to listen to?

Forget about that.

Now you're dating someone with an unknown background?

-What do you think you're doing? -Auntie, please calm down.

Let's talk this out. Please calm down.

Tang Li.

I think I've treated you really well.

How could you get her involved in such a show?

When the show is over, how is she going to get married?

What's going to happen to her?

-Auntie. -Mom, what are you saying?

-Auntie, I-- -What do you mean?

Come home with me!

-No, Mom. I-- -Auntie, I--

You.

What are you doing?

Are you that Ye...

Whatever the hell your name is.

Let me ask you this. Are you dating my daughter?

I'm talking to you!

Yes.

Yes? Fine.

What's your occupation?

What do you work as?

I'm a violin maker.

A violin maker?

You're just a carpenter, aren't you?

You could put it that way.

-No, you-- -Auntie, please calm down.

Let's sit down and talk this out, all right?

Take your hands off me.

Take your hands off me.

What are you doing?

Didn't your elders tell you

that interrupting an elder when she's talking is extremely rude?

Didn't they tell you that?

Now you tell me.

You're just a carpenter.

You'll be all filthy all day long.

What kind of future can you have?

I'm warning you today.

I'm not an ignorant person.

All the furniture in our house

was made by the most well-known carpenter, Mr. Hu.

All the furniture

was custom-made by him.

Mr. Hu is a well-known carpenter!

How much did he earn by making that big cabinet?

I know it well.

When you compare your small damn violin

to that big cabinet, how much can it be worth?

Mom, what are you saying?

Lower your voice. Please show some respect to others.

-Respect the others-- -Let go!

Am I not doing this for your good?

I'm doing this out of consideration for your future!

Fine. You're all here today.

Then I'll state things clearly.

I vehemently object to my daughter dating a carpenter!

I won't watch her destroy her future like that.

Come home with me!

Come with me!

No!

-Where are you going? -Take your things and come with me.

You haven't even clarified anything and you're leaving?

Won't you listen to me now? You won't listen to me anymore, right?

Tell me!

How have I treated you since you were young?

You've graduated from university for two years!

It's been two years!

You don't have a stable job.

You aren't earning good money.

All day long, you're just dreaming of becoming a...

A voice actor?

Fine! I've put up with it all!

But now,

you're dating a carpenter?

How dare you hang out with a carpenter?

How are you going to answer to me?

Are you out to provoke me?

Are you speechless?

Am I not speaking the truth?

-Does it hurt now? -Auntie, Erduo is working very hard.

-She's just-- -Shut up!

Enough with the bullshit.

Pack up your things now.

Where's your bag?

Is this your phone? Where's your bag?

-Come with me! -I won't!

Yes. Whatever I do is wrong.

Everything you say is right.

I don't deserve to be your daughter or his girlfriend. Okay?

We've all signed the agreement.

If we leave midway through the show,

Bei Erduo will have to pay a huge sum for liquidated damages.

I personally think that she can't afford to pay the penalty.

-You-- -Yes.

If Ms. Bei breaches the contract,

she will have to pay about

1.5 million yuan.

One--

If we add in the costs for the advertisers and sponsors,

it will be about 3 million yuan.

Three million yuan?

You...

She knows that.

She signed it.

Yes. It was agreed upon when we signed the contract with Ms. Bei.

This contract has legal consequences.

If you insist to take her with you now, it's a breach of the contract.

If you are unable to pay the penalty fee,

our company will ask the police to intervene

and take the judicial route.

But if Bei Erduo continues with the activities,

you'll be receiving a huge amount of money soon.

No.

You'll have both fame and wealth.

That's right, Auntie.

Someone has already approached me to know more about Bei Erduo.

He wants to sign her on as a star.

Most importantly, this show of ours is the most popular show.

The number of clicks in a week exceeds ten million.

This is number one!

Just calculate it.

When Bei Erduo is on the show, how many fans she can gain?

And how many managers will be able to see such a cute, pretty,

and talented girl?

So do you mean

that my daughter is going to become a star in the future?

Yes! And it is in the near future.

You have such a cute daughter.

Auntie, you must be a great beauty in your youth.

Otherwise, how did you give birth to such a perfect daughter?

She's cute, her voice is sweet

and she's so professional at work. She totally has the makings for a star.

Our company has been considering

to continue the contract with Ms. Bei after the show ends.

If you agree with it, you can come over as her manager

and take full responsibility for managing her career.

Who is he?

Auntie, he is the boss of our company.

He means what he says.

He...

-He is your boss? -Mr. Yu.

-Hello. -Mr. Yu.

-Hello, Mr. Yu. -Hello.

Look at you.

You started to cry the moment I scold you.

Can't I scold you anymore?

Isn't it embarrassing?

Weren't you embarrassed?

You humiliated me in front of so many people.

I signed a contract. Doesn't that consider as a job too?

Do you call that a job?

Why didn't you tell me that if you quit that,

you'd have to pay a penalty?

You didn't give me a chance to!

Are you putting the blame on me now?

You found that little carpenter to go on the show with you.

Now if you refuse to go, we have to pay the penalty.

You...

Let me tell you this.

You'd better find someone presentable to date now!

Mom.

Mom.

What's wrong with you?

You'd better do as I say from now on.

Do as I say and go for the matchmaking events!

I'm off to class.

LOVE IN PROGRESS

Did you just cry?

Is it very obvious?

What happened?

Did he bully you?

-Ye Shuwei? -Yes.

No.

What happened to you?

Erduo, tell me.

Call me Ms. Bei.

Ms. Bei, who bullied you?

I'll get back at them.

My mom.

Last question.

Why did you take part in that show?

It was by accident.

Hello? What is it, Mom?

-Erduo, is your class over? -The class is just over.

Let me tell you something.

When I suffered a heatstroke previously,

I was lucky to have Ms. Zhang to take care of me.

And now she became my close friend.

What kind of response is that?

Shouldn't we at least thank her for that?

I've made lunch reservations at the restaurant to give her a treat.

But I'm busy settling some insurance matters and will be late.

You may head over first and have a good chat with Ms. Zhang.

This is the basic courtesy. Don't be late.

-I'll send you the address in a moment. -Okay. Bye.

JOYROOM

This is so pretty.

Why is it so expensive?

Erduo, you've looked at it so many times.

If you like it, just buy it.

I don't have to own it just because I like it.

Just looking at it occasionally makes me happy.

It's enough.

You keep saying the same thing.

Even I'm sick of hearing it.

A word of advice.

You should hurry up and earn money.

We have received a lot of inquiries about this now.

No way, Suda!

Can you bear to let them leave?

I'm leaving now.

I'll come to see you again next time.

Which one did that shorty likes?

Sir, I'm not too sure about that.

I just know that she always likes to stand here and look at it.

I'll buy them all then.

All?

Is it this row?

This wall.

Please wait for a moment. I'll give you a trolley case.

Hello.

This seat is reserved for me.

Are you at the wrong table?

Are you Bei Erduo?

I'm the cousin of Ms. Zhang's sister's nephew's classmate.

I'm Chen Chen.

You may call me Dr. Chen.

So Ms. Zhang isn't here yet?

Ms. Zhang?

Why would she come?

Excuse me. I need to make a phone call.

Serve the food, please.

Mom.

Did you forget to tell me something?

What are you talking about?

How is it? How is it going?

What do you mean by that?

I'm going to make myself clear to him.

Ms. Zhang meant well.

Furthermore, she's my savior!

You'd better at least entertain him for a little while.

Otherwise, how am I going to face her?

-Mom, I have a boyfriend! -So what?

He's a doctor! He's rich and famous.

That carpenter can't compare with him!

All right.

I bought a small villa in preparation to get married.

It's not huge. Just about 300 square meters.

And I made some small investments.

But I can't tell you much right now. They are trade secrets.

When it comes to property,

we can't take it with us to the grave.

So I don't really care about it.

I studied music overseas

because I wanted to live for art!

Is that so, Mr. Chen?

Why don't we--

Please call me Dr. Chen.

Let me tell you this.

I don't ever watch anime.

Those sort of things are unsophisticated.

I think you should change your career while you're still young now.

I'm just speaking honestly.

No offense.

Dr. Chen.

Have you watched Miyazaki's Spirited Away?

Since your job is related to music, you may listen to anime music as well.

I've heard of it.

But I don't have the time to watch it.

When you've patiently finished the film,

I believe you'll have a different opinion.

The lowly anime and the plebeian anime music you speak of

accompanied me when I was growing up.

They gave me a lot of courage to chase my dreams.

Naturally, my ambition is to work with anime.

I would like to use my ability to contribute to the beauty of anime.

Is this the so-called generation gap?

The legendary Joe Hisaishi that you mentioned,

his works are all the same.

There's a lack of change and diversity.

Pardon me.

When it comes to professionalism, I have to speak my mind.

I'm sorry.

Are you number five?

It seems that

you're not only lacking the ability to appreciate music,

you have a problem with self-awareness too.

Joe Hisaishi's soundtracks are of world-class standard.

His soundtracks possess a professional consciousness

which doesn't have an excess of self-display

that puts the focus on the composer

and disrupts the harmony of the piece as a whole.

Hence, detracting from the main theme of the movie.

This is not a defect. It's a boundary.

Of course,

such a boundary

can't be easily understood by ignorant people.

Let's go.

I can't park my car here for too long.

I'm sorry.

My boyfriend is here to pick me up.

There's nowhere to park here.

Excuse me.

You have a boyfriend, but still come for matchmaking?

Is this a marriage scam?

Mr. Yu is here?

I'm just here to get a document.

I came at the wrong time.

Come here.

I saw Ye Shuwei sent you back.

Both of you are progressing quite well.

We met by coincidence.

I don't believe in coincidence. Let me tell you this.

The word "coincidence" does not exist in Ye Shuwei's dictionary.

Did you know?

Since young, he was always faster than others in learning anything.

More importantly, he excelled at whatever he learned,

and left everyone else in the dust.

No matter where he goes, everyone calls him "The Great Ye."

Hold on.

There's no way that he's what you described.

If he didn't ruin my interview,

-how would I have-- -Hold on.

He ruined your interview?

Yes.

If you want to hire an insider, there's nothing we can do.

But if you have no intention of giving us any chance,

why do you put on the whole act of an interview then?

No.

Ye...

Ye Shuwei is such a cold and indifferent guy.

How could he have a girlfriend?

It's even less likely that he would chase a girl.

You've been interacting with him for so long.

Do you still not know him?

I think what happened previously must have been a misunderstanding.

If it were really a misunderstanding, why didn't he just explain himself?

He couldn't be bothered to.

Hold on, Yu Sheng.

What you mean is that Ye Shuwei hasn't experienced a first love yet?

Well, in my opinion, both of you are really suitable for each other.

Well, in my opinion, both of you are really suitable for each other.

Up!

CAN YOU TAKE ME TO THE CLASS REUNION, PLEASE?

ERDUO 6 P.M. TOMORROW, HANSWAY HOTEL.

6 p.m. tomorrow, Hansway Hotel.

6 P.M. TOMORROW, HANSWAY HOTEL.

What does this mean?

Is he booking a room?

And he said he wasn't an indecent person.

Shameless!

Indecent!

CAN YOU TAKE ME TO THE CLASS REUNION, PLEASE?

He should make himself clear.

Ladies and gentlemen. How are you?

It's been a week since we last meet.

Last week's interaction with everyone was very warm.

-Darling, help me hold the bow. -Many netizens commented that...

-It's a little heavy. -Okay.

-That it wasn't enough! -Pass it to me.

-It's loose here. Let me tighten it. -So this week, we've prepared

an even more exciting show!

-Today, we have four couples. -This will do.

-How will they perform? -Why is your hand so cold?

-I'm nervous. -I believe everyone can see

-Don't be nervous. I'm here. -that the venue today

-Okay. -is an archery range.

We have specially organized

-a dream party for our four couples. -It's messy.

But before that, there's a small test awaiting them.

Within ten minutes,

everyone in the four pairs will have to shoot arrows.

Each person has three chances.

The total shots of each pair will be added up,

-and the highest score... -You don't know how to do it?

-will get to choose their costumes. -I've never touched this before.

Regarding the costumes, there's a surprise!

-We'll keep you guessing what it is! -Posture is the most important in archery

-All right! The four couples are ready. -to prevent you from injuries.

The competition will now begin!

I'll teach you.

Look at my posture.

LOVE IN PROGRESS
