Original subtitles

(Episode 8)

Please wait a moment. Doctor Pan is on his way.

- You can go. - Okay.

Hello, Ms. Yao.

You...

Meng Meng?

What are you doing?

I...

You recognized me even though I'm dressed like this.

I was just playing a joke on you.

Why would you need to make an appointment?

You could have just called me.

What is the matter? Are you here for another checkup?

That's right.

I'm here for a checkup.

Take off your mask and I'll take a look.

No.

I'm not here for a checkup.

I...

I just came to see you...

and I wanted to ask for some advice.

Advice?

It's a friend of mine.

He was in a car accident.

You get it, right?

Was he in the same situation as you?

Yes.

Just like mine.

He also hit...

- His nose? - the steering wheel.

We mean the same thing.

He hit his nose on the steering wheel.

In that case, I need to meet him in person...

in order to know what the next step is.

Can't you just do it for him here?

Meng Meng, you're joking, right?

If I could do anything here,

I would've just done it for you back then.

Why would you have had to go abroad?

I think you're holding a grudge against me.

Abroad?

So that's what it was.

By the way,

I saw your updates on the Internet.

You're recovering quite well.

It has only been just over a month.

Take your mask off.

My nose...

isn't for you to study.

I'm sorry.

I was a bit brusque.

I just wanted to see it.

That's enough.

If there's nothing else, I'll get going now.

Then your friend...

He'll come some other day.

I'll bring him here when he has time.

He also hit...

- His nose? - the steering wheel.

Meng Gui.

I went to see Doctor Pan today.

I also know...

what happened to you that night.

I don't understand why you didn't tell me.

I'm your sister.

I didn't want you to worry.

(Yao Meng Gui, Waiting for a response)

(Yao Meng Gui, Call declined by user)

I don't want to answer it.

Meng Gui.

I need to hear your voice today.

It has been over a month.

I don't know where you went...

nor what you're doing.

I don't know if you're healthy.

If I can't hear your voice,

I don't even know if it's really you that I'm talking to.

I don't care.

No matter what,

I have to hear your voice today.

If I don't hear it,

I'll stop pretending to be you.

I don't care what the consequences are.

I'm going to find you.

I'm disfigured.

Meng Gui.

You said you're disfigured.

What does that mean?

I hurt my nose.

How are you now?

I'll come and take care of you.

Mom and Dad are here.

Focus on what you have to do.

I really don't want to see anyone.

I'm scared.

I'm afraid the public will have their attention on me.

Let me take a break.

Really.

All I need is a break.

If this goes on, I'm going to go crazy.

Okay, Meng Gui.

I got it.

Take good care of yourself.

From now on,

don't hide anything from me.

All right.

Park at the back door later.

There will be fewer people there.

We'll circle around if we have to.

Just enter here.

It's not safe here.

Chen Mo is right.

If anything happens...

Listen to me.

Enter here.

I really don't want to see anyone.

I'm scared.

I'm afraid the public will have their attention on me.

Let me take a break.

Really.

All I need is a break.

Stop the car.

Yao Meng Gui, get out of here.

Give me your phone.

Why?

What are you scared of?

Are you afraid of being filmed?

Are you afraid to be on camera?

Are you afraid that your family and friends...

will know you're doing this?

What?

Are you guys also afraid of being on camera?

All you do is post bad things about people online,

attacking people's looks and bodies.

You judge how people are...

just according to a mere facial expression.

Sure.

I'll give you a chance today.

Come and check my Weibo account...

to take a look at what you guys are like.

Do you dare to show your face?

Openly show your faces.

I won't embarrass the name "Yao Meng Gui".

What about you?

Can you live up to your names?

Song Ci, what do we do?

The crew asked her to use the side door, but she refused.

Then just let her be.

I'm saying we'll let her go this way.

Let Yao Meng Gui go.

It's decided.

(This girl did it on purpose, didn't she?)

(Who let you get this close?)

Where is the chemistry...

between the male and female lead?

- No! - No!

- No! - No!

Don't repost the production crew's post.

Repost the statement on our company's official Weibo.

I've asked Xiao Wen to draft a detailed explanation.

He'll send it to you right away.

Come in.

Did you get any instructions from Chang Ming?

He told me to repost the statement.

I just checked Weibo too.

They're all saying...

the production crew edited your scenes with ill intent.

It's ranked seventh on the trending list now.

This is finally over.

But...

this actually ended a while ago.

Because this morning,

you let them see the real Yao Meng Gui.

What about you?

In your eyes,

do you know what the real Yao Meng Gui is like?

I don't know.

Then when you said "the real Yao Meng Gui" just now,

you meant the Yao Meng Gui you heard about from others.

Ms. Yao.

Even if you weren't satisfied enough scolding your haters today,

don't come at me.

Can you let me go?

I'm not trying to be hard on you.

I was just thinking...

maybe in Song Ci's eyes,

I'm that Yao Meng Gui...

who uses all sorts of tricks...

and got famous through publicity stunts.

You really care what he thinks of you, right?

A little bit.

If that's what he thinks,

I'm sure others think the same.

Stop asking people what they think.

How do you really feel?

Me?

Yes.

The fact that you're asking this question...

shows that you don't feel happy inside...

and you don't like it.

Isn't it obvious?

Actually,

I just want to be an actress.

That's my dream.

I'm saying it's my dream.

Right.

Why are you here?

This is your schedule for the next two days.

This is the schedule for tomorrow.

The schedule for the day after is tentative.

Why are they all my scenes?

Song Ci took some time off.

That's why they're in a hurry to film your solo scenes.

If you think there's a problem,

I'll talk to them.

It's okay.

Let's just leave it as is.

Okay.

Wait.

Push the scene tomorrow morning until after 8am.

I have something to do.

What is it?

I just have something to do.

Why do you care?

(Li Rong Jing and Qin Tian's kiss scene, 10:00am to 1:30pm)

A kiss scene?

A kiss scene?

I've filmed so many of these scenes.

You smiled.

No, I didn't.

Okay.

I'll talk to the producer...

and push it back.

If we don't finish in time, we'll cut it.

The director will be the one to worry about it anyway.

Don't.

No.

I mean that it's fine.

I'm not tired.

Also, as an actress,

I'm supposed to endure the hardships anyway.

All right.

I need to rest.

If there's nothing else, you can go.

Good night,

Ms. Yao.

Good night.

Does that mean we have to kiss for real?

Ms. Yao, tomorrow morning...

I'm sorry.

I'm in the wrong place.

People tend to go into the wrong room...

and end up in places they shouldn't be.

Ms. Yao,

am I right?

Hello. I'm here to get a package.

What's your room number?

2901.

It's that big one over there.

I'll get it for you. It's heavy.

A young girl like you won't be able to carry it.

Crap.

She's not calling me, is she?

Hello.

Hello. What are you doing?

Are you...

in bed?

Where else would I be?

On the floor?

No.

I was wondering if this morning...

Never mind. It's nothing.

See you later.

See you later.

What's that noise on your end?

(Yao Meng Gui)

(Airplane mode)

Hello?

- Hello. - Why did you hang up on me?

What happened over there?

I didn't hang up on you.

I didn't hang up just now.

I heard a noise on your end, then the call cut off.

I thought you hung up.

Ms. Yao,

why did you go out so early?

I...

It's all for my diet.

I came out for a morning jog.

I'm hanging up.

I'm going to run a bit more.

(Sure 56 Delivery, Addressee: Xiao Mu)

Hey.

Your phone is ringing.

I know.

When your phone rings,

you're supposed to answer it.

I'm deaf. I can't hear it.

Song Ci,

drink some water.

Song Ci,

you should just take a look at your missed calls.

Hello.

I'm filming.

Okay.

Xiao Bai.

Get the car ready.

I need to go home after we're done here.

Okay.

Here. Let's sing a song.

- Let's sing. - Come on.

Late at night

Silence grows in the garden

The leaves are no longer rustling

The night is beautiful

It's so inspiring

What a quiet night

The little river is flowing quietly and making small waves

Song Ci.

Who is she?

Why is she here?

Mr. Wang's new movie is casting actors now.

Your dad is giving a newbie a chance...

and invited her here so Mr. Wang can meet her.

Don't take it personally.

With her experience,

she can't be considered a new actress.

It's just a regular audition.

It's not every day you come home for dinner.

Let's enjoy it.

Song Ci.

Here.

Come and drink with everyone.

I'm not feeling well today.

I can't keep you guys company.

I'm so sorry.

You...

Maybe he has fallen sick...

from filming day and night.

Don't push him too hard.

His acting isn't even that good,

yet he's already so arrogant.

When I have time,

I have to give him a good lecture.

He is still young.

You guys keep singing.

- Come on. Let's continue. - Okay, let's continue.

Here.

- The night is beautiful - The night is beautiful

- It's so inspiring - It's so inspiring

- What a quiet night - What a quiet night

The little river is flowing quietly

And making small waves

The bright moon shines

Over the silver stream of water

I vaguely hear someone softly...

Song Ci.

Are you leaving now?

You didn't eat anything tonight.

I asked the maid to cook you some fried rice.

Eat before you go.

It's okay, Mom. Get some rest.

- I have something to do. - Just eat a little.

It's okay.

I don't eat that stuff.

I haven't eaten carbs in two years.

You just didn't know. I'm leaving.

Stop right there.

Why are you acting up today?

You haven't even filmed a single movie yet.

Do you already think you're all that?

Didn't our son tell us?

He's not feeling well today.

Not feeling well?

I think he just has hard feelings.

What was the problem with asking you to say hello?

Did I embarrass you?

Yes.

- It was embarrassing. - You...

Look at this.

Look at how you taught your son.

Song Ci.

Your dad just wants what's best for you.

Go and apologize to him properly.

Then all of this will pass.

All right?

Mom.

Aren't you angry at all?

Do you think he cares about this family?

I guess you're looking for trouble today, aren't you?

Don't hide if you have something to say.

Explain yourself.

Is this how you see your dad?

Everyone clearly knows how you are.

Did I do something wrong to you?

You said you wanted to be a celebrity,

so I found resources for you.

Yet when I got them for you,

you went to film some teen movies.

Why did I invite Mr. Wang and the others here today?

It was all for you!

But you didn't even give them the time of day...

and just left.

Who made you so spoiled?

You only look down on "Under the First Snow"...

because I refused to act in the movie...

that you're investing in.

Have you still not given up on that?

You said I disrespected you...

because I didn't come to say hello.

But was it respectful to me...

for you to bring that junior actress home?

Was it respectful to my mom?

Did you show our family any respect?

You...

The public says you're a good actor.

They say you're a good dad and a good husband.

I don't watch many movies,

so maybe I wouldn't be considered a good viewer.

That might be why I can't see your good qualities.

I'm more used to you going out to film every six months...

like you used to do.

It's better than the way you're here acting like a father...

because you're in a slump.

What are you saying?

Your dad just wants what's best for this family.

Ever since you were young,

he was out there working hard and filming.

You of all people shouldn't be blaming him.

A family should be harmonious.

Stop bringing up those things!

That's not what I meant.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hello.

That's enough. Shut up.

This is the first and last time I'll be wasting my time...

listening to you say this nonsense.

I don't care how you got my number.

Don't call me anymore.

Whether you want to act in Mr. Wang or Mr. Li's movie...

has nothing to do with me.

Ask your Mr. Song for help yourself.

Do you want to fight to the end?

Sure.

Take your Mr. Song with you.

You paid a visit to my house but still couldn't get it.

What's the use of calling me?

Are you stupid?

I'm telling you.

You're threatening the wrong person.

I'm nobody's accessory.

I don't clean up after anyone either.

I am myself.

Song Ci is amazing.

Is that Song Ci?

That's right. Let me tell you.

Song Ci is Mr. Song's son.

He started acting when he was young.

He is remarkable.

- Right? Let's go. - Let's go.

What are you laughing at?

You've been acting since you were young.

How do they credit you in the cast list?

"Mr. Song's son"?

I just thought of that...

and found it quite funny.

A three-word name.

That's cool.

Right.

I'm Yao Meng Gui.

I am...

I am myself.

Bye,

Mr. Song's son.

(Yao Meng Gui)

This is today's schedule.

The shoot went well today.

Director Zhang thinks you're in good condition,

so she adjusted the number of scenes.

Which scenes were adjusted?

Don't worry.

She didn't delete the kiss scene.

In fact, it has been moved up.

(Li Jing Rong and Qin Tian's kiss scene, 6:30am to 10:00am)

(Song Ci: Audio message)

Why is he messaging you at this hour?

Ms. Yao.

Don't cause any trouble while you're in the crew.

Chang Ming is very poor.

He can't afford to hire a public relations professional.

It's none of your business.

If you're done here, go home early and rest.

I am not being nosy.

I'm your agent.

I need to prevent things like this from happening.

He must be looking for me because of work.

I don't believe you.

Do you...

have time to come out right now?

Are you really going?

Yes.

You...

It's too dark.

Don't go.

Let me go.

What if he wants to talk to me about work?

Does it look like it's something urgent about work?

He clearly has bad intentions.

Bad intentions?

Wipe that flirty look off your face.

I said you can't go,

not even if the world falls apart.

Stop talking.

Listen to me.

I'm the boss.

I refuse to believe it.

It's only a matter of time before the paparazzi catch them.

Am I not a paparazzo?

There's no need to rush.

I was afraid you would be waiting for too long.

What?

Is it obvious?

Are you upset about something?

Kind of.

For example...

I got slapped in the face.

Who did it?

I'll slap him back for you.

My mom.

Every family has its own problems.

I just needed someone to talk to...

and I thought of you.

Come on.

I'll take you to have some good food.

You'll be in a better mood after eating delicious food.

This is what you call meat.

Something like chicken breast can't even be called meat.

Try this.

It smells really good.

It's crunchy on both sides.

I especially told the boss...

to add extra sesame and honey.

Thank you for bringing me...

to such a quiet barbecue restaurant.

I know you don't like crowded places.

I haven't had barbecue meat in years.

These past two years,

I haven't even had any carbs...

that are oily and sweet like this.

Do you not like it?

It's okay.

Then we can go somewhere else.

Isn't it delicious?

In the past, whenever I felt down,

I liked to save up to come and have barbecue meat.

Once I fill up my stomach,

I forget about all my troubles.

Save up?

That's right.

Because...

we can't allow ourselves to let loose, right?

We can't eat carbs,

so I save up one yuan a day.

Once I save up enough,

I'd go and eat barbecue meat.

That's what I meant.

Can you see clearly while eating barbecue late at night?

Aren't you afraid of sticking a skewer up your nose?

- Hey. - Who is it?

Do you know Xiang Jiao?

I work for him.

Xiang Jiao?

So you're one of us.

By the way, speaking of Xiang Jiao,

I suddenly remembered.

I brought this.

Do you want one?

Do you have a new plan again?

What new plan?

For example,

taking on the image of a foodie.

No matter what I do,

do you think I have ulterior motives for it?

It's nothing personal.

Doesn't every artiste in this industry...

have an ulterior motive?

I'm praising you for being professional.

Thank you for tonight.

Don't mention it.

I didn't do much.

We originally said we would come out...

to talk and clear our minds,

but we just ended up eating...

and didn't talk about anything.

This is why I'm thanking you.

Thank you for not asking me...

why I'm unhappy.

But you've always been like this.

Like what?

You carry your burdens all by yourself if you can.

That's why...

I find myself so ridiculous...

for complaining.

Carry my burdens myself?

Isn't that tiring?

Then...

You'll have to ask yourself that.

I have my ways to relieve stress.

Like this, for example.

Then thank you...

for sharing this with me.

Yao Meng Gui,

do you know?

I really hope that time...

could stop at this moment.

Because right at this moment,

I feel really happy.

So...

you started following Song Ci and Yao Meng Gui...

after the variety show.

Is someone paying you to do it...

or are you doing it yourself?

I'm doing it myself.

I'm different from apprentices like you.

You have Xiang Jiao to support you...

and you have a salary.

You get good benefits too.

I'm just a casual worker.

I just go and take photos when I get wind of something.

If there's no news,

I just stay sleeping at home.

Just now,

I was even celebrating my daughter's birthday.

Then these two came out to eat out of the blue.

These celebrities...

are so inconsiderate of regular people like us.

I think so too.

Isn't that right?

They're both so heartless.

They'll definitely get bad karma and end up with a stomachache.

You make a lot of sense.

Also,

Yao Meng Gui...

is quite a good eater.

Buddy.

I think you won't get much even if you keep spying on them.

It's all too normal for celebrities to come out for a late-night meal...

after work.

You won't make much money even if you take photos of them.

You might as well hurry home and celebrate...

your daughter's birthday with her while there's still time.

Birthdays are very important to kids.

Buddy, you're right.

There are so many celebrities out there,

but I only have one daughter.

- Yes. - I'm done here.

I'm going back to celebrate my daughter's birthday.

I think you're a reasonable guy.

Xiang Jiao and I have known each other for so many years.

You can take this footage.

I can give you the footage,

but I can't give you this card.

This is 512GB.

It's over 300 yuan.

It's not worth that much.

Besides, I don't have any change.

Think of it as my gift to your daughter.

Thank you.

What am I doing?

She is so boy crazy.

Celebrity, my foot.

How embarrassing.

This should be the exact amount, sir.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you for treating me to barbecue meat today.

Don't mention it.

Can you go home by yourself?

Do you need a ride?

It's okay.

I already called for a ride.

Are you really not going back to the crew's accommodation?

If you're unhappy next time,

you can call me again.

Yao Meng Gui,

what happened to you?

What about me?

It's nothing.

You're just being too kind.

I just suddenly find you a bit unfamiliar.

In the past,

we didn't really know each other well at school.

Now that we've gotten closer,

I've naturally warmed up.

Thank you for tonight.

Next time,

you have to take me to another good restaurant again.

Hello.

Okay. I'll be right there.

My ride is here.

I'll get going.

Okay.

Be safe.

Bye.

(Li Rong Jing stands on her tiptoes to kiss Qin Tian.)

You've even torn the paper.

Si Si.

Have you...

Have you ever kissed someone?

What do you think?

When I was dating Kang Kai,

do you think all we did was just study?

We even...

Don't.

You don't have to explain so clearly.

I'm not questioning you.

I just want to know...

if you've ever...

filmed a kissing scene before.

Yes. They were all fake kisses.

Fake kisses?

You got scored 60 points so many times in acting class.

I saw it all in the academic affairs office.

Do you finally regret it now?

It's not my fault.

Let me think.

First of all,

you definitely can't use tricks you see online,

like kissing your thumb.

It's too obvious.

Here, let me show you.

Let's say that's Camera A.

Just do as I do.

Ms. Yao.

You came just in time.

Let's say he is Song Ci.

Kiss him from this angle.

You have to be careful when you fake the kiss.

Freeze when your mouths are about to touch.

Do you understand?

You try it.

Do the same as I did.

Get closer.

Slowly move closer.

That's right. Get a little closer.

Do it slowly. Don't rush.

Give the audience some room for imagination.

You need to hold out your hand.

Hold her gently.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Meng Meng,

you have to wrap your arms around him too.

Yes, like that.

That's it.

Yes.

Closer.

Yes.

Okay, that's very good. Practice this among yourselves.

Slowly.

Good morning.

What are you doing?

It's nothing.

I...

We're doing a team building activity.

Is that so?

Let me join you.

No one can touch me.

I just did.

Don't be nervous.

Li Rong Jing.

Don't be so stiff.

Act naturally.

Is it your first kiss scene?

Are you nervous?

Do you want me to tilt my head later...

or should I put my thumb over your lips?

Don't panic.

I'm not panicking.

- Tian Si Si and I even... - Are you ready?

Rolling.

"Under the First Snow", scene 45, shot 1, take 1.

Action.

Rong Jing, don't go yet.

Why are you being so secretive?

What do you want to tell me?

Don't you have a letter to deliver?

Hurry up, then.

- I have to go too. - No.

I wanted to say...

I didn't yell "cut". Keep going.

You're doing great.

Meng Meng usually seems so outgoing,

but her shyness while filming kissing scenes...

feels unexpectedly real.

Song Ci specially came to see me this morning.

He was afraid the kissing scene wouldn't be realistic enough,

so he wanted to take her by surprise and give her a real kiss.

He's quite thoughtful.

Cut.

Good.

Why were you shaking?

Were you laughing?

It was quite funny.

What was so funny?

Even if I was shooting a comedy,

your hands shouldn't shake this badly.

I'm sorry.

I thought the video...

was to help you take note of the details in your acting.

I didn't expect you also wanted it as a keepsake.

I'll immediately go and order...

a thousand-yuan...

anti-shake handheld tripod for professional online streamers.

Please get the company to reimburse me.

You're talking so strangely today.

I'm just ashamed of my unprofessionalism.

We're done for today.

It's rare we finish this early.

Do you have any plans tonight?

Ms. Yao.

Your schedule for the next few days...

That means I don't.

Would you like to go to a gathering with me?

A friend...

whom I acted with when I was young dropped out of the industry...

and opened a bar.

He wants us to go and support him.

A bar?

It's a quiet bar, not a rowdy one.

The ones who will be going...

are all actors who started acting when they were kids.

They have a good sense of privacy.

Tian Si Si will probably be there too.

We're just hanging out.

They know we're filming together...

and really want to meet you.

I'm just not sure...

if you want to meet my friends or not.

Does he want to introduce me to his friends?

Thank you for inviting us, Mr. Song.

- We'll... - We'll be there.

Mr. Chen.

Do you want to go too?

No.

I took cephalosporin.

I can't have alcohol.

You don't have to drink.

If I smell alcohol,

the cephalosporin in my body will be very unhappy.

When you get back,

call me when you're ready.

Xiao Bai will drive us.

Mr. Chen.

I hope you and your cephalosporin...

have a wonderful night.

Ms. Yao.

Considering how smart you are, haven't you noticed anything?

First of all, I'm not smart at all.

Besides, all I've noticed is that you're acting strange.

During your kissing scene today,

Xiao Bai stood at the side and recorded you.

He usually stands next to the monitor with me.

Didn't you notice he directly filmed you guys today?

So?

So let's be frank.

Fine.

Even if Song Ci isn't trying to pull off a publicity stunt with you,

what if he really is an animal?

What if he really wants to do something to you...

and not just kiss you?
