Episode 20

Hello, everyone.

Today there'll be a big surprise.

Have you seen the Anonymous Singer?

-Yes! -Yes!

Isn't Shang Yu pretty?

-Yes! -Yes!

Do you want to see the face behind the veil?

-Yes! -Okay.

Today

we'll hold a ceremony to unveil Shang Yu.

She's a big star, Father.

She was in the movie

that I watched last time.

She sang very well.

It was a silent movie.

It's a wonder you could hear something.

-Shang Yu! -Shang Yu!

There was something you didn't know.

She made a live dubbing.

She made voices according to the scenes.

No stars have ever done this before.

The ticket was hard to get then.

Luckily I'm your daughter

and I get a certain privilege.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to watch it.

You sure know how to flatter.

Kind of interesting.

She's veiled, some more.

So mysterious.

Yes.

I heard that she'll be in this new movie

showing her face.

I wonder if she's as pretty as what they say.

Father.

You better not be mesmerised by her looks

and bring her home

as your consort.

What nonsense.

There's nobody in this world

prettier than my daughter.

She played well.

The most exciting time has come.

Zhao Ling?

Psych-Hunter

Qin Er.

It was a tough case.

I'm glad it's finally closed.

And I'm no longer a wanted man.

Stop feeling smug there.

Sure.

Thanks for reminding, Young Master Yi Heng.

I was just wondering.

How did you managed to find these girls?

Changshanzhou Daily

Didn't Jiang mention

The hero is the demon incarnate. Zhang Zong Bao got what he deserved

that he checked out Zhang Zong Bao?

I just thought of a way to get the name list.

It wasn't really easy to convince them.

I didn't really think of that.

Miss Yuan did.

Looks like

ladies know their own kind better.

Since we're talking about her,

there's something to remind you.

General Yuan has warned you.

Never go near

his daughter again.

That's his problem.

I have my way.

But then again,

Liu Zhi

is getting more crafty.

He's using every kind person's hate

to hurt more people.

They got hurt

because of me.

Liu Zhi

is using these people

just to play a game with me.

Stop thinking that way, Jiang Shuo.

It wasn't your fault.

Actually, there's an evil

residing in our human nature.

The choice to be someone you wish to be

is in your hands.

Same with your fate.

This was what Liang Qi Chao said.

Ten years of drinking ice,

the hot blood hardly becomes cold.

But what if

your way home is deserted

and the end is before?

The scariest thing

is when your heart becomes cold.

Because it's likely that you will

become directionless.

Jiang Shuo.

I'm heading home now.

Qin Er.

About your father.

The only thing we can do

is to capture Liu Zhi

and prevent more tragedies from happening.

Actually, there's an evil

residing in our human nature.

The choice to be someone you wish to be

is in your hands.

Jiang Shuo.

Do you really think

we have a choice?

Liu Zhi.

Why can't I make a choice?

Because our game hasn't ended yet.

Your only choice is to continue

playing the game.

Zhao Ling

Zhao Ling.

What do you mean?

Jiang Shuo.

The latest clue on the Yin River

is here.

Zhao Ling.

Congratulations for your reinstatement.

Congratulations.

Thanks, everyone.

Just get back to work.

Yes, sir.

Boss.

I've made some tea.

You're thoughtful.

I'm back, sergeant.

Hello, Miss Yuan.

How can I help you?

I got an reinstatement.

Didn't you know?

That's good.

Who told you about that?

I think I contributed the most

to solving the case.

And so I'm reinstated.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Miss Yuan.

Sergeant, I want to join the Liu Zhi Investigation Team.

It's a deal then. Drink some water.

Hurry up.

What's happening there?

Stop being arrogant just because you're working for the Yuan Mansion.

We shall await our turn to cross the road.

Yes, miss.

Zhao Ling.

Mantou.

This is not how you use your inner energy.

Don't just use your throat.

Push your voice down some more.

Oh my.

You've been struggling the whole evening.

I was carrying Er Long and listening to Shang Yu

but I can't hear anything.

Mantou sings better than Shang Yu.

If you want to listen to something,

ask Mantou to sing for you.

No.

I'm scared of listening her singing.

No thanks.

I'm just not happy

with the way you said it.

This Shang Yu

doesn't train at all?

Maybe when she trains,

she's nowhere as good as Mantou.

-Please give us a fair comment, master. -Yes.

Doesn't Shang Yu sing better than Mantou?

If you ask me,

Mantou sings better

than what's coming from your radio.

-Master said so, too. -Fine.

I won't argue with you two.

It's fine whatever you said.

If you ask me,

-Zhao Ling is better than me. -Mantou.

At that time,

it took me effort to save some money

to send her to a private school.

But that girl

just couldn't learn anything well.

All she thought about was to sing.

I was so furious.

Ironically, an opportunity came to her

to do a music production.

I couldn't agree to it, could I?

So I locked he up.

She was defiant.

She attempted to escape from the window.

Would that be so easy for her?

We got into a fight.

In the end, the kettle was knocked over

and scalded her back badly.

That really hurt, right?

Could she not be hurt?

Ling'er was crying with pain.

I was weeping

at her side, too.

I wasn't

a good father.

Don't be hard on yourself, Master Bu Yan.

You did it out of love.

She won't blame you.

Sorry I ruined the atmosphere.

Continue your practice, Mantou.

Just go inside and listen to your song if you dislike Mantou.

Just go.

Let me show you the right way to sing.

Do it this way.

Look at me.

Thank you, everyone!

Jiang Shuo.

It's getting cold at night.

Why didn't you put on more clothes?

I was rushing out and didn't managed to put on a jacket.

What about your father?

Does he know you came out?

He knows. Don't worry, he's okay with it.

You're looking for me at this time.

Are you thinking...

Stop imagining. It's not what you think.

Did I say anything?

Don't even try to fathom my thought.

I came to you for a serious matter.

What's it then?

Do you have Zhao Ling's picture?

Let me see it.

Zhao Ling?

What are you both doing, Brother Shuo?

Well, aren't you supposed to buy some persimmons?

-Just leave. -Why is she wearing his clothes?

None of your business.

He's just a bit dim-witted, Miss Yuan.

Just continue your chat.

Don't disturb others.

That's right.

Don't disturb others.

Master Bu Yan.

We're discussing some serious matters.

I know.

Mu Qing.

You blushed.

I am not.

The skin of my face is thick enough.

Where were we?

Why do you want to see Zhao Ling's picture?

Today I saw her at the concession area.

-Excuse me. -He's here.

Today's earning is better than last time.

Really?

I need to come up with new stuff.

We have to be better next time.

I've never seen so much money before.

-I can buy persimmons everyday from now. -These are for Brother Shuo and Miss Yuan.

You're useless.

We'll earn even more next time.

We won't have persimmons then.

Then what do we eat?

Is there anything better than a persimmon?

We'll go for delicacies.

-You'll have persimmons. -Right.

Okay, let's eat.

-Stop fighting for it. -Everyone gets to eat it.

This is for master.

-Bai She. -Thanks.

Sparrow.

Mantou.

This is for you. And you.

Aren't I supposed to have two, master?

You want a twin share?

Would Tiezhu not be having four?

Stop dreaming.

So many people watched us perform today.

I felt like a star.

Do you know what's a star?

A star is the beauty appearing in a movie.

You fool.

They're just acting in a movie.

Have you ever watched a movie before?

You were just making a shot in the dark.

I wonder when we get to watch a movie.

I wish to know how the stars really look like.

The movies are for the rich.

We're struggling to survive.

You're just being hypocritical.

We have money now, right?

Just eat.

Let's eat.

Why aren't you eating, Master Bu Yan?

Everyone of you likes persimmons.

I was just wondering why Ling'er is the exception.

Don't worry, Master Bu Yan.

I'm sure Zhao Ling is fine.

We're awaiting her to come home.

I'll always keep you company, master.

That's good.

Let go of me.

You looked suspicious while we were performing.

Nobody wears sunglasses at night.

You must be up to no good.

This is an artistic style.

What do you know?

I just don't care.

What's your motive?

I didn't do anything.

Ouch! I will talk.

Look closely, Mu Qing.

Try getting it right.

Shang Yu should be Zhao Ling.

But still, there's a little difference.

But I can't quite figure it out.

So are they the same person?

I'm not sure.

I need to confirm it again.

It's Brother Shuo and Miss Yuan.

This way, please.

Have a set, director.

-Who's he? -Here.

Let me introduce.

He is...

The director.

Yes.

Daoyan?

The kind who performs with a big knife on the street?

Don't get cheated, Master Bu Yan.

Look at him,

does he look like a Daoyan?

It's not Daoyan.

It's director.

The one who makes movies.

He says he's a director.

The core creator of a movie.

Don't you even know this?

Oh, I see.

We're so fortunate

to have an important person to visit us.

Jiang Shuo.

Mind your words.

I'm not bragging.

There're only a handful of famous directors in the country.

I'm trying to be humble.

But I'm among the well-known ones.

Recently, I wrote and directed a martial arts movie.

I'm looking for actors.

When I look at you guys,

I think you all are suitable.

Doing the little travelling circus is a waste of your talents.

Come work for me.

Not to mention the high income.

If you become a star,

you'll be a household name.

Can I be a star, too?

Of course.

This is my name card.

It has my contact information

and the address of the film company.

Think about it and feel free to contact me.

I have to go now.

Let me walk you to the door.

Songxue Lane, Changshanzhou.

No. 585.

Let me see.

Songxue Lane.

This sounds so familiar.

This is located at the concession area. I just came from there.

The movie studio

is located at the concession area.

You saw Shang Yu who resembles Zhao Ling at the concession area.

Shang Yu is also a big star.

So

if we go to the movie studio...

We'll know if she's Zhao Ling.

Why are you mentioning about Zhao Ling?

Nothing, Master.

Isn't that on my desk?

Why are you holding it?

He took it.

It's just that

Mu Qing thought she saw Zhao Ling at the concession area,

but she isn't too sure about it.

I wanted to tell you this.

Really?

Why don't we go check it out and confirm it?

We can act and become movie stars, too.

-Yes. -No!

Why not, Master?

Weren't you friendly towards the director earlier?

Haven't you always wanted to find

Zhao Ling again?

Master.

Vens Movie Company Director - Li Tai Chen

Who are we

to act in a movie?

What kind of place is the concession area?

It's a complicated place.

The so-called director was just boasting around.

You all are so easily persuaded.

Do you not know who you are anymore?

What if he's a cheat?

-But... -There's no but about it.

Ling'er can't be at the concession.

If she was there, she...

She would've come home.

Fine.

Master Bu Yan has said it clearly.

It's getting dark.

And it's cold out here.

Let's go home.

I'll walk you home, Mu Qing.

But Master Bu Yan...

Don't worry about him.

Let's go.

Bye.

I can walk home by myself.

I'm fine. You need it more.

Are we going to look for Zhao Ling at the concession tomorrow?

Just forget it.

Didn't Master Bu Yan said it earlier?

That's not a place we should go.

I'm familiar with the area. I can be our guide.

Let's just forget it.

This matter is related to Liu Zhi.

Are you worried that I'll give you trouble?

That's why you're not taking me there?

It's not...

Take this back.

I don't need it.

Mu Qing.

Stupid Jiang Shuo.

I'm good in martial arts.

Do I need your protection?

Do I really need you?

Do I?

Sit up straight.

Apologise to me.

Get up.

Apologise to me.

Why are you bullying the doll, Sister Qing?

I hate it.

It's such a cute doll.

You don't hate it

but someone else, right?

I just hate it.

Sit up straight.

It's so disobedient.

Listen, you stupid Jiang Shuo.

I'll go even if you won't let me go.

I'll investigate it even if you won't let me do it.

I'll find Liu Zhi.

Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Take it away.

The film company.

Listen.

When the cast is ready,

this movie will immediately...

-Mr Li. -Hello, Mr Li.

I just know you'd come.

Why only the two of you?

Where are the others?

Both of us are coming today.

-The others will follow next time. -Yes.

This is my assistant, Xiao Wang.

I have something on.

He'll show you around.

See you later.

-Thanks Mr Li. -Bye, Mr Li.

This way, please.

You're here to find Zhao Ling, right?

You came here for Mantou, right?

I am not.

I'm also here to find Zhao Ling.

Stop pretending.

I know what's going on.

You know she likes singing and performing.

So you're here to check it out for her, right?

Just between us.

Are you both together?

What are you talking about?

There's nothing between Mantou and I.

Please step inside.

So this is the movie studio.

Quan'er, look.

The props look so real.

It's amazing.

I didn't expect I get to live to see this.

Get yourselves prepared in the dressing room.

I have to deal with other actors.

The dressing room is just over there.

I won't accompany you.

Sure.

Where are you going, miss?

I'm going over there.

Are you here for an audition?

Yes.

It's almost time.

Let's hurry up.

-The dressing room is over there. -Okay.

I've never worn

such costume before.

Don't embarrass us.

You behaved as though you're a country bumpkin.

Aren't you the same as me?

You're just acting better than me.

Cut it out.

What?

You're just being silly.

Look at the dressing mirror.

It's so nice.

Excuse me.

Help!

Help!

It's Liu Zhi.

It's Liu Zhi!

Help! It's Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi wants to kill me.

Liu Zhi?

Hold it!

Liu Zhi, speak!

Why did you do those things?

Who are you? Are you crazy?

Stop your nonsense.

Cut!

Isn't it not your turn yet?

Are you so addicted to movies?

Isn't he Liu Zhi?

You have quite the potential.

You were simply natural.

You can stop now.

I already said cut.

Natural?

What's Liu Zhi?

See for yourself.

I'm the lead of this movie.

Don't you recognise me?

Qin Dan.

The movie poster is just next to the main door.

You're actually an actor.

No wonder.

Liu Zhi shouldn't be that useless.

Hey. How dare you?

Just take a break.

We've been shooting for some time.

Director.

-How did you -Zhao Ling.

get the name Liu Zhi?

How's Liu Zhi

related to the movie?

Liu Zhi is the villain in the movie.

This is just a random name.

This role isn't even fixed yet.

Why are you so interested in this role?

It's only a random name?

How could there be such a coincidence?

What's the problem?

Someone has this name, too?

Nothing.

Quan'er, where's Zhao Ling?

She's over there.

She's not Zhao Ling.

She's our lead actress,

Shang Yu.

-Do you know Shang Yu? -Shang Yu?

She's the one

who sings?

That's her.

I think you're a natural actor.

Skip the audition.

Let's sign a contract.

No need to audition?

What about me?

You little kid

has an interesting face.

You can skip the audition too. Let's sign a contract.

Brother Shuo.

Let me introduce.

They're our newly recruited actors.

Let's get to know each other.

You're such a freak.

How dare you!

Brother Shuo.

Let's go sign the contract.

-We're going to sign a contract. -Let's take a break.

Get ready to change the scene.

My senior.

You died a terrible death!

Senior.

If you're still alive,

speak to me!

Tell me you're still alive!

Reply me!

Stop!

-Stop. -It isn't over yet.

Just wake up!

You'll kill me even if I'm not dead yet.

We haven't finished yet.

Director.

-I quit. -Senior!

I can't do it.

Senior.

Don't go!

Director.

Did I do well?

Actor - Qin Dan

Those being accepted aren't much better than me.

It's their loss.

Both of you truly have potential in acting.

Are you satisfied with the deal?

Very much.

Good.

Ask the rest of them to audition too.

I won't see you off.

Okay, see you later.

Quan'er.

What's going on?

I think

I looked like an ugly monkey just now.

Not at all. Don't worry about it.

If he dares to laugh at you again, I'll kill him.

Okay.

What a smug look.

I knew you were there.

Why have you come?

It's my choice.

You can't stop me.

Really?

You came

to become an actress, right?

No, I did not.

I was just passing by.

First things first.

Have you seen Zhao Ling?

I wasn't sure who I saw.

I thought it was Zhao Ling.

But the director said

she's Shang Yu.

The person

indeed looks like she has never seen us before.

I greeted her but she just ignored me.

I don't know if she was just pretending

or she really has amnesia.

Shang Yu is indeed strange.

I've never heard of her before.

She suddenly became popular.

She took on the role as the Anonymous Singer

and wore a veil all the time.

I heard it's the first time she's revealing her face.

Anyway, Qin Er

is doing an investigation on this.

We'll soon know her true identity.

What are you doing?

I'm removing your makeup.

Who asked you to do so?

I'm sorry.

Your makeup

is so beautiful.

Can you teach me?

Mine isn't as good as yours.

Whether or not I'm putting on makeup, it's not much of a difference.

It's incomparable between us.

You're right.

You're destined to be in a supporting role.

Even if you're the lead actress,

you may not be in the running for the movie award.

It's still too early to tell

who'll be the Movie Queen this time.

She's simply arrogant.

She has never been the lead

and yet she's dreaming to be the Movie Queen now.

What's this?

These are lilies from your fan.

Why is it so messy?

I'm sorry, I'll handle it.

Your fan has specially made you

the Goddess Clock.

Do you like it?

Hello.

Please connect me to the police station.

This is the police station.

To Zhao Ling

Liu Zhi is back. Run for your life

Miss, are you all right?

Hello?

Vens Movie Company

Miss Shang.

Are you all right?

What do you want?

Me?

Well, there's a fan from our troupe that wishes to see you.

Would you...

Didn't you follow me earlier?

Someone is following you?

None of your business.

Was it him?

-Shang Yu. -Shang Yu!

-Shang Yu! -Shang Yu!

Are you Zhao Ling?

Quan'er, get Master.

Master, come quickly!

Coming.

Take a look at her.

It's Zhao Ling.

Ling'er.

I thought I would never see you again.

My Ling'er is home.

Ling'er.

Master.

We can't be sure

if she's Zhao Ling.

She can't remember a thing.

So

I went to her Psych.

However...

What's the problem?

But I couldn't understand anything about it.

So I'm not sure

if she's Zhao Ling.

She...

Where am I?

Who are you?

Ling'er.

I...

Father?

I'm your father.

Just look at me.

Travel safely wherever you are

Ling'er.

I'm your father.

I don't know any of you.
