(Episode 6)

Ms. Yao.

You're not trying...

to take advantage of me, are you?

Here you go.

(Eel bamboo shoot salad with pollock roe, 388 yuan)

Are they trying to rob us?

(Japanese-style seafood hot pot, 638 yuan)

(Honey ice cream, 58 yuan)

Yes.

One moment, please.

Meng Gui, forgive me.

I'm going to be eating an expensive meal.

But this expensive meal...

may be able to save someone's soul.

I'll work my butt off to pay you back in the future.

Chen Mo.

The meal I'm treating you today...

is nothing serious.

I just wanted to talk.

After all,

you have been working with me for over half a month now.

I still don't know where you're from.

I'm from here.

What about your parents?

I only have a dad.

We don't keep in touch much.

I see.

Do you have any siblings?

There was a one-child policy.

As soon as the food is served,

they still use chopsticks to pick them up.

It's already a miracle...

if they don't put wasabi into their soy sauce.

So this is what sushi is.

It's delicious.

Ms. Yao.

Don't beat around the bush.

Just tell me what you want to say.

That way,

we can enjoy this meal.

Were you the one...

who put the pictures of Tian Si Si crying online?

I saw you...

stalking Kang Kai and Li Jin.

I also saw you holding your phone.

And when Tian Si Si was crying, you were there too.

Was it you?

I didn't ask you out to dinner today...

to accuse you.

I just want to have a fair talk with you.

I know you don't get paid much.

But from the way you talk and work,

I think you're a well-educated and smart guy.

Chen Mo.

Even I feel bad...

that you're working as my assistant.

But no matter what, you can't...

Are you having any problems at home?

Let me know if you're having a hard time.

I can help you figure it out.

But don't do such things again.

Everyone is very pitiful.

They're always being criticized.

They even get cursed at.

She'll get sick when she can't handle certain dramas.

In fact...

I didn't do it.

That's great.

I misunderstood you. I'm sorry.

Do you believe it?

Do you believe me just like that?

Actually,

I also owe you an apology.

Why?

Because for a while, I suspected that you killed someone.

If you want to know where the pictures came from,

it's quite simple.

Find out who leaked the first photo,

follow the clues,

and then you'll know.

Isn't Xiao Wen in the company's promotions team?

Ask him to look into it.

But I think...

even if you catch this person,

there's no point.

There are so many people in the crew.

Anyone can take pictures.

Who wouldn't try to earn...

a bit of money if they could?

What if it was you?

Would you try to earn this kind of money too?

Don't earn this kind of dirty money.

Ms. Yao.

If I am really in need of money,

what can you do?

If that's the case,

I'll work harder.

I want everyone who works with Yao Meng Gui...

to be able to realize their dreams...

and earn more money.

If all of this is just an act,

then she sure has infinite potential.

Chen Mo, don't you look down on this restaurant?

Why did you come here again?

Why are you always hanging around here?

Chen Mo.

Who are you to yell at me?

Doesn't your dad feed you anymore?

You could just enjoy being your rich dad's son,

but you're out here being a gigolo instead.

As a gigolo, you don't even shave.

You're also pretty ridiculous, lady.

Are you willing to take just anyone?

You...

You...

I have my hands on him. Scold him.

Did you lose your way, idiot?

I'm happy today. I won't scold anyone.

Let's go.

If you want to ask, go ahead.

Are you a rich kid?

Did you have a falling out with your dad?

That depends on how you define the term "rich kid".

My biological parents died when I was eight.

Then I was adopted by my current dad.

It's true that my current dad is very wealthy.

Your current dad is also considered to be your dad, right?

Then why...

You want to ask why I ended up like this, right?

My adoptive dad is a cold man.

He doesn't enjoy raising a child.

When I was very young,

he sent me to boarding school.

We only spent time together one or two months a year.

So you don't like him very much.

It's the exact opposite.

I admire him a lot.

He only cares about his career.

He can't be bothered to take care of anyone incompetent.

He has a foul mouth.

I've never heard him say anything nice before.

You're quite similar to him.

I always thought I wasn't good enough...

and that I didn't deserve to be his child.

So I desperately tried to get close to him.

In the end, I found out...

I won't tell you all the details.

Every family has its own problems.

You won't blame me...

for not telling you, right?

So did you give up on your dad...

or did your dad give up on you?

What's the difference?

Do you know?

I thought you were a paparazzo.

What was I thinking?

Your family is so rich.

Why would you come out to be a paparazzo?

But look at your childhood friend who drives a sports car.

He is such a scumbag.

He wastes his life away just because his family has a bit of money.

Don't be sad.

Believe it or not,

I understand.

Actually, I think...

people can choose their own family.

Don't look too heavily on blood relations.

Even if you're not his biological child,

it doesn't mean he doesn't love you.

It's true.

Why are you looking at me?

It's nothing.

What are you laughing at?

That guy with the sports car said one thing that's true.

Can you...

shave your beard?

I want everyone who works with Yao Meng Gui...

to be able to realize their dreams.

I have my hands on him. Scold him.

I need to stop living in misery.

Chen Mo.

Tian Si Si's matter is pretty much done now.

Not many people are bringing it up anymore.

Who is this handsome guy?

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Hello.

Okay, I got it.

Bye.

Ms. Yao.

Director Zhang said to go find her when you arrive on set.

Ms. Yao.

Look at what you're wearing today.

Are you the celebrity or am I?

I don't like how you're dressed.

Hurry and change.

But my beard...

Just get some water and your beard will grow back.

All right.

I'm kidding.

Forget the beard.

You look good.

Go upstairs and get changed.

I'll get going then.

I made some changes to this scene at the last minute.

The movement will mainly be coming from the clear skies.

Rong Jing, it's simple for you.

Just read Gibran in the shot.

You just need to read the first verse.

Half an hour for you to prepare will be okay, right?

No problem.

By the way, I know you studied abroad before,

your English is really good.

But you must be careful.

In Li Rong Jing's generation,

people listened to the radio and cassette tapes to learn English,

so she won't read it very fluently or use slang.

You need to tone down your American English...

and make it sound a little awkward, okay?

Yes.

Okay, go get ready.

Song Ci.

I'm doomed.

What is Gibran?

I've only read Ji Xiao Lan's works.

I only know five words on the whole page.

Okay.

Get prepared. I trust you.

It's hot.

What's wrong?

Take mine.

Mine is cold.

Keep it in your mouth for a bit first and then swallow.

Then keep it in your mouth for a bit again, okay?

I'll get some ointment for you.

What's wrong?

How many times did I tell you?

Don't give me hot water. You burned someone.

Where did you get burned?

It's not me. It's Yao Meng Gui.

Are you okay?

Yao Meng Gui.

Can you still talk?

Not really.

Tell Yan Zi and the script supervisor.

We're cutting Yao Meng Gui's scene this afternoon.

We'll film it when she is better.

Director Zhang,

don't I have a few other solo scenes to be filmed in this location?

I've memorized all the lines. Film my scenes first.

Let Yao Meng Gui rest first.

Go home and rest, Yao Meng Gui.

Tian Si Si, get ready for the next scene.

Drink more water.

Song Ci.

Come and go over the later scenes with me.

Have you memorized all the words...

in these later scenes?

Yes.

Okay, let's just get to it then.

Attention, all units.

Get ready to roll. Come on.

I told you to keep it in your mouth. Why are you eating it?

All right.

I should've bought you a cream one.

By the way, you suddenly went crazy today...

and drank from Tian Si Si's thermos.

Are you stupid or did you do it on purpose?

Were you thirsty?

Did you want to slack off?

Did you not want to read English?

It's Vitamin E.

It's good for burns.

You can't talk now.

You must rest and get well soon.

If you have to rest for a week,

my whole schedule will be messed up.

My manager, Mr. Jiang, is going crazy right now.

(Don't worry. I'll recover very soon.)

Okay.

I'll be waiting for you.

Get some rest.

Ms. Yao.

What should we do next?

Why don't you also type a few words to me?

Don't tell me your hands are broken...

now that you have to talk to me.

(Can you buy me another bottle of Vitamin E supplements?)

(I want to keep this one as a souvenir.)

("Sand and Foam" is a poetry collection by Kahlil Gibran.)

(It is one of Gibran's most renowned works.)

(American recitation of "Sand and Foam")

"I am forever walking upon these shores."

"Betwixt the sand and the foam."

"The high tide will erase my footprints."

"I am forever walking upon these shores."

"Betwixt the sand and the foam."

"I am forever walking upon these shores."

"Betwixt the sand and the foam."

"I thought myself a fragment..."

"Quivering..."

"I thought myself a fragment..."

What else was there again?

I'm dying.

I'm so dead.

I'm dying.

I thought myself...

"I am forever walking upon these shores."

Ms. Yao.

You're healthy, right?

Are you okay...

in the head?

Get out of here.

Okay.

Unrelated personnel, leave the set. We're getting ready to shoot.

I'll get going.

Okay.

"Under the First Snow", scene 19, shot 1, take 1.

Action!

"I am forever walking upon these shores."

"Betwixt the sand and the foam,"

"the high tide will erase my footprints."

"And the wind will blow away the foam."

"But the sea and the shore will remain forever."

I didn't yell "cut" yet. Keep reading.

"It was but yesterday..."

"I thought myself a fragment..."

"quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life."

"Now I know that I am the sphere..."

"and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me."

Cut.

Okay. Pass.

Come here, Li Rong Jing.

Okay, Director Zhang.

- Play the video playback. - Director Zhang.

Take a look.

The waves were so pretty just now,

so I didn't yell "cut".

Good thing I memorized two extra pages last night.

You did well in this scene.

Li Rong Jing is different from you.

She has never been abroad.

But you grasped the rustic Chinese accent...

in your English very well.

Thank you, Director Zhang.

That's because I really am rustic.

Give it to me.

Aren't you hot?

I'm weak.

The director just passed by.

She even complimented you.

She also studied abroad for a long time.

She said you were extra good today.

Is that so?

What did the director say?

Wow.

You really fooled everyone.

Such a good liar.

I wasn't as good as the director said.

How did the director compliment me just now?

Say it again.

You fooled everyone.

Such a good liar.

(English to Chinese)

(Translation)

Ms. Yao.

Chen Mo.

Are you free tonight?

Let's eat together.

How can you be so sure...

there are no paparazzi following us?

They should be following Peng Fei's car...

and going around in circles right now.

How can you be so sure?

You're not a paparazzo.

At this moment, you should say,

"You're not me."

"How do you know I'm not a paparazzo?"

Zhuangzi.

We studied this in junior high.

You never learned it, did you?

I'm not as uncultured as you think.

You're the liar.

It's almost 1am.

What exactly do you want to tell me?

What do I have to say?

Don't you know what I want to say?

"Shi Jun."

"We can't turn back anymore, Shi Jun."

If you're not leaving,

I'll leave.

Sure.

Then leave.

The earth is round anyway.

You eventually have to come back.

Ms. Yao.

You studied abroad for many years,

yet you're quite interested in the Chinese drama industry.

You know every single line in the popular dramas.

Amazing.

"Demon, where are you going?"

Drink. Keep drinking.

Drink until the sun comes up. Keep going crazy.

Let everyone see what Yao Meng Gui is really like.

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you...

what kind of person...

Yao Meng Gui is.

This is...

a huge...

exclusive secret...

that no one knows.

I'll tell you...

what kind of person...

the real Yao Meng Gui is.

Actually,

I am...

a huge idiot.

What?

The information online that says...

I'm good at English,

great at dancing,

and have a strong aura...

is actually all fake.

None of it is true.

I grew up abroad with my parents.

They didn't have time for me at all.

I grew up in Chinatown.

I can only speak Chinese.

I can't even speak English.

It's Chang Ming.

Chang Ming made me pretend that I'm good at English.

He insisted that I carry a smart image.

He ended up...

getting me this role.

He almost ruined me.

Forget about English then.

There's a video online of you dancing for your art school exam.

As you said, it was an art school exam.

I just did one dance.

I'm a foreigner.

I got in just by doing an easy audition.

I just learned that one dance for the exam.

I don't know anything else.

I'll show you...

my real skills right now.

Our homeland is a garden

The flowers in the garden are so vibrant

The warm sun shines on us

Everyone has a smile on their face

Wahaha

Everyone has a smile on their face

I'm awesome, aren't I?

What do you think?

Not bad, right?

Ms. Yao.

Other than your name,

what else is true about you?

My face is real.

Look.

My single eyelids are real.

My nose is too.

Pinch it.

Chen Mo.

I was afraid...

to tell anyone...

that I'm living a lie every day.

I'm so scared.

But for some reason,

I just really want to trust you.

Chen Mo.

Can I trust you?

Although I'm a fake,

I'm popular.

Look.

You're smart and knowledgeable.

If we cooperate nicely,

there's nothing we can't do, right?

Chen Mo,

you must help me.

I really trust you.

It's true.

I trust you.

I trust you a lot.

It's true.

I consider you my family.

My family! Bye!

Hurry inside, my lady.

No.

I want to see you leave safely.

I'll go in then.

Good night.

Good night.

Did he buy it?

I really gave it my all.

Meng Gui, don't blame me.

This is the best I can come up with.

Meng Gui,

when in the world are you coming back?

I'm really going to die.

Die.

An idiot?

Help me look for videos of Yao Meng Gui...

when she was in school.

(Chang Ming)

(Happy Party)

Go.

Song Ci and you are the guests today.

It'll be over soon. Don't worry.

Why do I suddenly have to shoot a variety show?

Considering the impact of Li Dai Xuan's incident,

the producers decided...

to occasionally have you attend events with Song Ci...

to moderately change the public's opinion on you.

Chang Ming and Song Ci's company have already agreed to it.

We'll record the variety show first.

When the film promotions start,

they'll gradually broadcast it.

Of course,

Director Zhang is against it.

She is absolutely furious.

And I'm absolutely terrified.

I went through the script carefully.

You don't have to speak English or dance.

Relax.

What if they suddenly ask me to dance on the spot?

The insulation of Thermos flasks is amazing.

There's 100-degree water in here.

If anything goes wrong,

just open it...

and pour it over your head.

When you go in later,

remember to raise your voice a little...

and don't talk too fast.

You have to pause a little bit...

between sentences.

It will be easier for me to find edit points during editing.

I'm so lucky to meet...

such an experienced agent.

I was wondering if you need any help.

You haven't been to variety show shoots much, have you?

I haven't.

That's why I'm quite nervous.

Why don't you...

tell me the important notes and the schedule...

and I'll have a listen.

I'll see if there's anything I can do to help.

That would be great.

Look through it carefully for me.

First, I have to run through the script...

and mark the important things.

It's best to bring our own hair and makeup artists.

What else is there? Let me think.

I know that I'm experienced.

Don't be nervous.

The more relaxed you are, the better you'll do.

Drink some water.

Don't drink the one that's 100 degrees.

I'll go over there to go over the script then.

Let's welcome our special guests today,

Song Ci and Yao Meng Gui. Welcome.

Hello, Jin Nan.

Hello, everyone.

Hello, everyone. I'm Yao Meng Gui.

Recently, Mr. Song Ci, who is beside me, and I...

have been filming my first movie, "Under the First Snow".

Even though we're quite busy,

I really wanted to come to "Happy Party".

Today, I also hope Mr. Song Ci and I...

can bring more joy to everyone.

Thank you.

Is this a sense of accomplishment?

Am I actually starting to feel accomplishment...

as a fake agent?

I must be crazy.

Thank you, Yao Meng Gui.

Okay, let's move on to the game segment now.

- Song Ci! - Song Ci!

- Are you ready? - Song Ci!

- We're ready. - Song Ci!

I'm going to say the first word now.

Ballet.

Our First Snow team didn't succeed the first time.

Remove a board.

Where is the chemistry...

between the male and female lead?

The second word is "heart".

It's the First Snow team again.

Remove another board.

- What's going on? - Seriously.

- Exactly. - Do you play a couple...

or enemies in this movie?

If you make another mistake later,

we'll lose.

You aren't doing this on purpose, are you?

Of course not.

Here is the last word.

"Take a photo".

- First Snow team, - What should we do?

remove one more.

You have to try harder.

There's only one left.

No!

- No! - No!

- No! - No!

- No! - No!

- No! - No!

- No! - No!

- What are you looking at? - No!

- Is he better-looking than me? - No!

- No! - No!

My gosh.

Is that in the script?

We told you to improvise.

There's not much we can do.

(Prince Song)

(Song Ci)

Was I mistaken?

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm great.

So great.

I couldn't be better.

(Song Ci)

Tang Tang, that guy looks quite handsome.

Is he a celebrity?

Who?

So I wasn't hallucinating.

Do you know him, Tang Tang?

Chen Mo!

Stop right there!

Where is Chen Mo?

He isn't even answering his phone.

You...

Hide for a while.

I'll explain later.

Don't shout.

That's strange.

I clearly saw Chen Mo just now.

Where is he?

Stay still.

Tang Tang.

Why did you suddenly disappear?

I have something important to tell you.

I'm busy with something too.

You go first and I'll join you later.

No, listen to me first.

Didn't you ask me to listen...

I have to think of something.

...and asked me to find the two leaders of the anti website...

Why did he drag me here?

And he is standing so close to me.

Isn't he hot?

I think there are two young girls outside.

I can't really hear what they're saying.

They're not bad-mouthing me, are they?

She is just a regular student. How is that possible?

Hold it in. You have to hold it in.

Who would want to meet Yao Meng Gui?

She has such a bad personality and she is ugly.

She is horrible at acting too.

She is insulting me.

I look fine, okay?

Never mind her staff,

I wouldn't even want to add her on WeChat.

That's it. I have an idea.

This will work for sure.

You even nodded?

Who are you?

Why are you hiding there?

I'm a staff member of Yao Meng Gui's team.

You two must be students who came to watch the variety show.

Miss,

why do you keep looking at me?

Do you know me?

What a joke.

Why would I know someone from Yao Meng Gui's team?

Didn't you tell me there was a stalker?

It turns out it was just these two little girls.

What a waste of my time.

Aren't you curious...

why I was hiding just now?

Yes. Why were you hiding?

That's because they're Song Ci's fans.

They're still young and immature.

I was afraid you'd get into a conflict,

so I hid you.

They just criticized you.

Why are you still so happy even though they criticized you?

Or...

are you happier that Song Ci fell on you?

What are you talking about?

Of course not.

I'm happy because...

these blue skies and white clouds...

Well...

What's the matter with you?

You're a star.

Don't worry about your assistant.

The car is parked at the intersection.

It's just a short walk.

Why am I unhappy?

Who called me just now?

(Recent calls: Song Ci)

Hello?

Have you not returned to the hotel yet?

I'm about to get in the car. What is it?

Are you free tonight?

Do you want to run with me?

Sorry, I'm late.

I was early.

I'm right on time.

What a coincidence.

It's so late.

Are you here to exercise too?

Chen Mo suddenly dragged me out here...

for some stretching.

There aren't many workout places nearby.

I didn't expect this at all.

What a coincidence. Such a coincidence.

It really is a coincidence.

Ms. Yao.

I'm sorry for interrupting your workout.

Song Ci, ignore him.

Let's go.

Chen Mo, let's go somewhere else.

Does Song Ci...

usually take things this seriously too?

He usually ignores people.

But when he puts his heart into something...

Do you work out a lot?

Kind of.

It's mainly because I was born with a good physique.

You should indeed exercise more.

As an assistant, you have to run around a lot.

You need to have a good body.

Well, Ms. Yao isn't like certain celebrities.

She doesn't need to be spoon-fed.

So...

Are we still running tonight?

I have a shooting tomorrow morning.

That's enough exercise for today.

Let's run some other time.

Are you serious? Wasn't that just a warm-up?

Let's go, Xiao Bai.
