Original subtitles

(Episode 24)

Actually,

I can understand...

everything you've done.

After all, Yao Meng Gui has already fallen.

You didn't want to die with her.

But I never expected...

that you would threaten Li Dai Xuan...

(If you don’t want the photos to leak out, buy them!)

...just for a small profit.

Of course she was very scared.

She transferred every cent to your account.

But you were still unsatisfied.

You kept raising the price.

In the end,

you drove Li Dai Xuan crazy.

You're not that brave.

That was why after Li Dai Xuan died,

you were scared for a long time.

Later on,

Yao Meng Gui came back.

You were afraid of being exposed.

So you paid Internet ghostwriters...

to add fuel to the fire and smear me...

regarding Yao Meng Gui paying for a press release.

Then you intentionally got on my side...

to entice me into signing with you.

Next,

you paid for a press release saying that I'm a parasite...

and spread embarrassing things about me in the industry.

You even accused my dad of being a human trafficker.

Indeed,

you were the one behind those things.

After that,

the video of Yao Meng Gui's argument in the play was released.

You were ecstatic...

because you can finally pass the blame...

for Li Dai Xuan's death.

You asked someone to steal Yao Meng Gui's phone...

and edit you and Yao Meng Gui's conversation...

into screenshots,

then make it look like a passerby found the phone.

Lastly,

you falsely exposed Yao Meng Gui for driving Li Di Xuan to death.

Fans would surely come forward and explain.

But Yao Meng Gui's fans...

have always had a bad reputation.

Even if they post a clarification,

who will actually read them?

You think everything you did was foolproof.

Chang Ming.

You can't get away with this.

You're Yao Meng Gui?

I guess you're not that dumb.

Chang Ming.

So...

what are you going to do next?

Kill me?

Do you dare?

I'll kill you!

Yao Meng Gui.

You ungrateful wench.

Yao Meng Gui.

I won't let this go.

Have fun in prison.

Take him away.

It's finally over.

Meng Gui, why did you go alone?

What if something happened?

I won't let you risk your life for me again.

Besides,

I'll settle...

my own affairs.

It's more fun this way.

Xiao Mu.

Don't you have any normal pajamas?

This is so ugly.

I think it's nice.

Don't take my photo.

- Delete it. - No.

It's hideous.

Delete it, come on.

It's really pretty.

If you don't delete it, I'll throw away your ugly clothes.

Xiao Mu.

Meng Gui.

Everything is cleared up now.

What are your plans?

I bought a flight back to Canada tomorrow.

What?

Why are you going back to Canada?

The culprit has now been caught.

It also proves that you didn't cause Li Dai Xuan's death.

You can regain your fame and popularity.

Why are you leaving?

How can I regain them?

Should I tell everyone that...

during that period of time,

it was impossible for me to contact Li Dai Xuan...

because I was lying...

in a plastic surgery hospital abroad?

As for the Yao Meng Gui in China,

she was actually my sister, Xiao Mu.

If I said that,

I wonder which news would be more shocking.

And the Public Security Bureau...

has its own rules.

If the victim and her family...

don't want to disclose the details of the case,

they must protect the victim's rights.

On top of that,

I don't want to talk about Xuan Xuan anymore.

She should rest in peace.

Meng Gui.

Didn't you always say...

that we are in this together?

You can't leave.

No,

we're not in this together anymore.

Ms. Xiao, from now on,

I hope that you'll succeed on your own.

I don't want to drag you down anymore.

Thank you, Xiao Mu.

Thank you for everything you did for me...

during this time.

I'm sorry.

I never trusted you.

No, you didn't drag me down.

That's enough.

Don't cry so easily, okay?

I'm not crying. I...

Something is in my eye.

Xiao Mu.

Actually, I don't like being an actress.

I just like...

being loved by a lot of people.

But later on, I realized...

that those who seem to really like me...

actually only like my looks.

They don't like me at all.

Someday,

if there's someone like you who looks exactly like me,

they won't hesitate to abandon me.

That's ridiculous.

Everyone really likes you.

You're the best.

You're their idol.

You're my idol too.

We truly love you with all our hearts.

We like Yao Meng Gui.

We like you for being confident...

and a little arrogant.

Meng Gui.

Don't go. Stay here.

I can't bear to part with you.

All right.

I don't need your pity.

I have a family too.

Here.

This is my brother.

Nick. Isn't he cute?

Meng Gui.

That fool Tang Xin...

gave me all the stuff in the office.

I was bored.

That's why I put the music box together.

Thank you.

It was a very good gift.

Meng Gui.

Dad, what are you doing?

What's that burned smell?

I went to buy some ingredients.

What's that burned smell?

What are you making, Mu Mu?

You're awake?

Mr. Xiao, you're home too.

Have you had breakfast?

Finish them.

Okay.

I'm leaving later.

Meng Gui.

Are you really not considering staying?

I've already made up my mind.

Come in.

You're back?

I just came back.

You saw Yao Meng Gui?

Are you satisfied now?

Did you know...

that by suddenly leaving...

and standing up the brand,

you've damaged your reputation a lot?

Haven't you already dissolved my team?

Why do you even care about these things?

I've been managing you since you were young.

How can I not care about you?

I don't want to know the story between you and Yao Meng Gui.

You're a smart kid.

You know...

your priority.

I do.

That's good.

Let's start working tomorrow then.

Well...

I want to establish my own studio.

You can turn me down.

But we still have three years left on our contract.

I can wait.

Are you threatening me?

I'm trying to convince you.

Mr. Jiang.

You've always known how I never want to be labeled...

as Song Ning Zhi's son.

Actually, I hope that you'll be able to forget...

that you were Song Ning Zhi's manager.

I know that you signed me...

because of him.

He asked you to monitor me...

and you told him everything about me.

All these years,

I trusted you...

and I don't trust you either.

But I'm all grown up now.

I don't want to maintain this kind of weird relationship.

I want to be...

a really independent and good actor.

So Mr. Jiang,

please respect my decision.

Treat me like a real partner...

and not a junior.

Okay?

You've finally grown up.

Okay.

I respect your decision.

But a studio can't be set up so quickly.

You must still perform...

this last job with me.

What is it?

Congratulations.

You've been nominated for Best Leading Actor.

Mr. Jiang, then...

Was "First Snow" also nominated?

Of course.

Director Zhang is good.

She's a winner.

Best Director.

Best Editing.

Best Leading Actor and Actress.

You guys are all nominated.

We got the Best Leading Actress nomination too?

Yes.

Although Yao Meng Gui...

has some negative publicity this year,

they're just rumors online.

It doesn't affect the judging.

What?

Yao Meng Gui was also nominated?

Then she can become famous again.

Mr. Jiang.

Do you have any thoughts about this?

It seems like...

you're still thinking about her.

Well,

everything is calm now.

If she's willing,

I can keep working with her.

But let me remind you.

Winners are required to be present...

at the Golden Avenue Award.

If Yao Meng Gui doesn't go there,

this award can't be given to her.

All right, Mr. Jiang.

What?

"The Sunset No One Looks Forward to" has been nominated too?

Does that mean I can also go abroad to get the award?

Of course.

The committee invited...

the entire crew.

We don't have much time.

That's why I wanted to discuss it with you urgently.

Personally, I really hope that you can come with me.

Can you free up your schedule?

I've never been abroad before.

This is a perfect opportunity.

Come with me.

Even if the event conflicts with the Golden Avenue Award,

the entire team was nominated...

for "First Snow" too.

Song Ci and others will be there.

They'll be star-studded already. They don't need me there.

I can opt not to go and take you to this film festival.

Everyone is nominated?

Hello?

Meng Gui, where are you now?

I'm already at the airport.

Meng Gui, don't go yet.

I'll go to the airport right now.

Don't come here. I must leave.

If you come,

I'll change my flight right away.

You received an award.

Golden Avenue Award for Best Leading Actress.

You have to stay.

Meng Gui, if you really win,

it might turn things around.

Netizens forget things easily.

When other news is released,

they'll slowly forget old news.

But if you leave now,

after a while,

the public might really not remember you.

That has nothing to do with me.

Meng Gui,

you're not the type to give up easily.

How can you give up just like that?

I'm not giving up.

I just don't need it anymore.

Okay, I'm hanging up.

I'm getting ready to board.

Meng Gui.

That's the situation.

The award ceremonies for "First Snow"...

and "The Sunset No One Looks Forward to" are on the same day.

It's fine.

No one knows that you were the one who acted in "First Snow" anyway.

That's true.

But what if...

my sister goes to the award ceremony and wins,

but I'm not there?

That's no fun.

Didn't Yao Meng Gui say she's going to Canada?

It's impossible for her to go.

We don't know that.

Who knows...

what my sister is thinking?

Xiao Mu.

You must respect your sister's decision.

Why do you keep...

dwelling on this?

No.

I think...

she doesn't hate being a celebrity.

She just thinks that she can't make a comeback again.

But what if she really wins an award this time?

Then she can make a comeback.

The Golden Avenue Award...

won't give the award...

to absent celebrities, right?

All right. Let's not talk about this first.

What about you? Where are you now?

I'm at the hospital.

It's work.

Is it that girl?

I really like her.

I heard...

that she's a nice girl.

Find some time...

and let me meet her.

How are you feeling today?

I'm good.

Don't worry.

It's just a minor surgery.

Didn't they say that there's a chance of a relapse?

Son.

A nice kid would say,

"I'm sure..."

"you'll get better."

It's a shame.

You didn't raise me to be too nice.

You're much nicer...

than I imagined.

Even though...

I've hurt you so many times,

in the end,

you still came to see me.

Chen Mo, actually,

I owe you an apology.

In the past,

I was so strict with you.

First, it was because I suddenly became a dad.

I didn't know how to face a child like you.

Second,

I know that you're stubborn.

I was afraid that you'd go astray.

Third...

What's the third one?

Third,

I hope that you'll take care of your brother.

Ever since I found out that I'm sick,

I often feel scared.

I'm also afraid...

of not reconciling with you even after I die.

And I'm afraid...

that no one would take care of your brother and my wife.

You can rest in peace.

I will take good care of them.

Son.

You're so good with words.

You taught me well.

By the way, Dad,

there's something...

I've always wanted to ask you.

Do you think my parents...

really committed insurance fraud back then?

This matter...

bothered me for many years.

But no matter how hard I investigate,

I couldn't find anything.

I think...

you're the only one who can give me an answer.

Chen Mo.

Actually,

I met your parents at the rest area before.

They said...

that they have a smart son.

He was doing very well in school.

They said...

that after sending off the summer customers,

they'd take you to the amusement park.

They said...

that you love the Flying Carpet ride.

They'll let you have fun.

How can people who are planning to die...

make such plans?

That's right.

I think my mom mentioned that.

When your mom talked about you,

she was so excited.

She said her son...

is so cute...

and outstanding.

I don't know...

if this can prove that the accident back then...

wasn't insurance fraud.

But they didn't have to put on an act in front of an outsider.

Am I right?

Son.

I'm sorry.

I didn't tell you about this sooner.

Had I known...

that your parents' potential insurance fraud...

troubled you for so many years,

I would have told you a long time ago.

Also...

Actually,

I could have saved your parents.

But...

But I was scared.

I saw...

that the car was leaking fuel,

so I backed off.

Maybe...

I never deserved to be your dad from the beginning.

Tang Tang, thank you for bringing me in.

It's nothing.

We're sisters. Why are you thanking me?

When is Song Ci coming out?

He should be here by now.

He should be getting changed now.

Look.

There's a rumor going around on social media...

that something big will happen...

in tonight's award ceremony.

"See you in two hours."

He obviously just wants his post to be forwarded a lot.

Don't believe it. Look at the name.

It's so tacky.

Here.

Thank you, Xiao Bai.

You call him Xiao Bai?

In the group chat before,

didn't you used to call him a blockhead?

What are you two talking about?

It's nothing.

Thank you.

Because I'm the one who tries the hardest.

Why should you always get the upper hand...

just because of your face?

She doesn't even know where the backstage is.

Why should she be the female lead?

I was prejudiced against you.

Maybe when my arrogance and jealousy subsides,

we can be really good friends.

Tian Si Si looks even more beautiful now.

She found her confidence in stage plays.

Of course she's much prettier.

You've been acting since you were young.

How do they credit you in the cast list?

Mr. Song's son?

I want to establish my own studio.

I want to be...

a really independent and good actor.

Treat me nicer.

Then I'll surely follow you around like a fool.

I would be willing to, even if I were scammed.

You said this before.

If I get involved in a mess,

you would leave me right away.

Yes.

But I realized...

that I couldn't do it at all.

You should be pleased.

Because your son...

won't abandon the person he loves.

I like you.

Song Ci is so handsome.

I hope he never dates anyone.

Do you think so too?

I'm not his girlfriend fan anymore.

I'm his career fan.

I don't care if he has a girlfriend or not...

as long as he doesn't show how sweet they are daily.

Fans and celebrities should have their own lives...

and know their places.

Yao Meng Gui.

Yao Meng Gui.

I told you.

I would find you.

We've known each other since before we were born.

Please consider me more before doing anything, okay?

I didn't ask you to live my life for me.

I'm the only one they acknowledged!

I'm the only one they acknowledged.

Actually, I don't like being an actress.

I just like...

being loved by a lot of people.

I'll always recognize you.

And I'll never leave you.

Tell me you love me.

I'm your sister.

No matter what happens,

I'll always be by your side...

to accompany you and support you.

Why is she here?

Doesn't she have many bad publicities lately?

She's here to use Song Ci to be popular again.

Nian Nian.

Actually, after getting to know her,

Yao Meng Gui doesn't seem so bad.

The Internet is black and white.

But who can be purely good or purely bad...

in this world?

That makes a lot of sense.

Of course.

Yao Meng Gui!

You...

Let go of Song Ci!

Don't touch him!

Don't pull me! Let go!

Let go of me!

Don't touch Song Ci!

I'm so furious.

(Welcome to Golden Avenue Film Festival)

Where's Xiao Mu?

I think she went abroad to attend another award ceremony.

It's about to start.

Don't talk. I'm a little nervous.

There's nothing to be nervous about.

Don't you often do this?

What you're saying doesn't help.

And now, it's time for the highlight of this award ceremony.

The next award we're going to give out...

is the Golden Avenue Best Leading Actress Award.

Please welcome our guest presenter.

Hello.

I'm Liu Xue Fei.

I'm honored to be here...

as an award presenter this time.

I'm very happy to see this name again.

The Best Leading Actress Award...

goes to...

Yao Meng Gui.

(Best Leading Actress, "First Snow", Yao Meng Gui)

("First Snow", Yao Meng Gui)

("First Snow", Yao Meng Gui)

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Next, let's give the stage...

to Yao Meng Gui.

Thank you.

Xiao Mu.

Stop fooling people.

- What is this? - What's happening?

Hello.

I'm Yao Meng Gui.

So...

why should I help you?

Because I look like your girlfriend.

All right.

I'm kidding.

I'm doing it for Xiao Mu...

and also for myself.

I don't want her to carry this secret around forever.

And I don't want her to miss...

the opportunities she should get for acting in "First Snow".

At the same time,

I also hope to face my mistake.

Okay.

I'll help you.

I'll bring you to the ceremony that day.

However,

I have a request.

Regarding this matter,

can you do my friend a favor?

Xiang Jiao.

Our Weibo account's fans are already increasing.

I...

I'm sorry.

I lied to everyone.

She's lying!

Xiao Mu.

This should have ended a long time ago.

This is yours to begin with.

I'm just returning it to you.

I have a confession to make.

The Best Leading Actress Award...

belongs to my sister,

Xiao Mu...

because she acted in my place...

in "First Snow".

I was in a car accident back then,

but I didn't want to miss acting in "First Snow".

So I forced my sister...

to take my place for a few days.

A few days later,

something went wrong in my surgery...

and I got into a coma.

In order to protect me,

my sister finished the movie for me.

What I'd like to tell you all today...

is that my sister is a natural at acting.

She has always loved performing since she was little.

I tried to stop her from becoming an actress before...

and I regret it.

I'm very proud that she got...

to where she is now.

Now, let's return the stage...

to today's Best Leading Actress,

Xiao Mu.

Hello.

I'm Xiao Mu,

an actress.

Thank you to everyone,

to the committee,

and to all who helped me along the way.

Before this,

I was just a delivery girl,

someone who didn't even know...

about going out of the camera frame...

and camera positions.

With the help of experienced actors,

I started getting the hang of it...

and experienced the fun of being an actress.

I got into this industry...

by accident.

I never thought that I'd come this far.

I'm very sorry...

that I lied to all of you.

I'm also very thankful...

that you gave me this opportunity...

to make my acting dream come true.

In the process.

I've had so many ups and downs.

Real life...

always has more twists and turns...

than plots in movies.

Also,

I'd like to thank one more person.

When we're so busy...

moving forward,

sometimes,

we'd slowly deviate...

from the direction of our fate.

But isn't this also an opportunity?

If I didn't hold on tight...

to the opportunity that fate had given me,

I'd probably...

go the opposite way of my original dream.

In pursuit of glamor on the surface,

we might lose something...

that's most important to us.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Dad.

Dad, what are you doing here?

Your sister brought me here.

She said that you're going to succeed...

and she wants me to see it.

- Where's my sister? - Your sister...

Your sister...

She was just here.

Did you send my sister off?

How did you know?

Aside from this,

is there another reason for you to leave?

Stop messing around.

The media is shooting you.

Do you know how troublesome it is...

if they shoot this?

Haven't I always been good at creating trouble?

Forget it. I don't care anymore.

So...

what should we do now?

Let's run away.

Three.

Two.

One.

What did you do to the driver?

He's under Xiao Bai's control now.

What are you doing here?

I'm going to the airport too.

Let's share a ride.

You're actually leaving...

without saying goodbye?

You're right.

Breakups...

should be done in person.

We've already broken up.

Beware, I might expose you for being a jerk.

Think before you speak.

I already bought the ticket to Canada anyway.

My seat is next to a jerk.

Once we take off, there will be no Internet for over 10 hours.

You still have a chance...

to think about it.

No one is following us, right?

If they are, we can only swim out of here.

Chen Mo, let's take a walk in the ocean.

It's too cold.

I'll heat up the ocean for you first.

Don't be ridiculous.

Are you serious?

Don't you know how strong you are?

I do.

Then why...

Chen Mo.

I never thought...

that my life would be like this someday.

Me neither.

I'm a bit tired.

That day,

I was drunk.

Why didn't you kiss me in the end?

Which time was that?

You get drunk so often.

This time.

You're not drunk this time.

You're no fun at all.

I'm telling you.

Even if...

you propose to me at a place like this,

I won't be surprised at all.

You're not romantic at all.

Don't worry.

I'll try to be more romantic from now on.

There's no need.

The way you are now...

is very cute already.

What do you mean?

I don't mean anything by it.

Hey, this is important to me.

Take your time in figuring it out then.

I want to know today.

I'm not telling you.

It's our first time...

to come out for a walk so openly.

That's right.

But isn't it too high profile?

They can take photos of us.

I don't care.

Do you still remember?

Right around this area,

you bumped into me back then.

That was because you surprised me by showing up out of nowhere.

I was in a hurry to make money...

for Yang Yang's medical bills,

my rent, and living expenses.

I only had one piece of clothing back then.

I couldn't get changed even though it was dirty.

I had a hard time back then too.

I delivered food every day.

By the way, speaking of a delivery person,

let me tell you a funny story.

On the day of the play,

you bumped into me, right?

I hadn't slept for two days then.

My hair was a mess too.

The landlord kicked me out.

I was carrying a suitcase...

while walking on the streets.

Right here.

At the time, I sat here.

I was sitting right here.

A delivery person passed by...

and thought I was homeless.

But that delivery person...

was really nice.

She even gave me...

This is...

It was you?

Homeless man.

After taking my water bottle,

you have to date me.

Delivery person.

I think you received a pretty good order.

All right, come out!

You've been shooting for so long.

Give us some privacy.

Then explain it to us.

Why did she give you that bottle?

I'll tell you at home.

- He knows him? - He knows him?

All right.

Stop filming us.

If you continue doing so,

I'll call security.

What about me?

You can stay.

Scram.

I just remembered that I have to do something at home.

I'll go ahead.

To you, what does it mean...

to be an actor?

An actor?

I think actors...

showcase someone else's life...

through the camera.

Do you think actors and celebrities...

are the same?

Of course actors and celebrities are different.

A good actor...

can let viewers experience various aspects of life.

But what they have in common...

is that they've become a window...

for the public to learn about society.

What kind of an actor...

do you want to become?

Me?

I wish...

to be a really good actor.

I hope that...

I can show the viewers different sides of me...

and see...

how many different versions of me...

that I have.

That's very good.

That's a wrap.

Thank you.

We've finished filming already.

There's no need to follow us anymore.
