=Episode 15=

On a stormy night,

in a downtown theatre,

a spectacular musical is on.

The lead actress, Ruoyu,

wins a big round of applause.

But right at this moment,

a mysterious woman

shows up at the backdoor of the theatre.

She sneaks into the theatre

to recover what Ruoyu took from her.

Yes.

It’s a story

about two actresses fighting for the lead.

What do you think?

It’s so real.

I like it.

Mm-hmm.

Not bad.

No objection.

So who’s the scriptwriter?

It’s me.

If you think it’s OK,

then let’s talk about the characters.

There are five characters in the play,

the mysterious woman, Rufeng,

the lead actress of the play, Ruoyu,

the lead actor of the play, Tianzong,

the patron of the theatre,

Mr. Three Million,

and a waiter

who appears as a clown.

I think Fang Yan is the best candidate for Tianzong.

He’s noble and handsome,

but sort of eye candy.

Sanshang should play Mr. Three Million.

What about the clown?

It requires high flexibility to play a clown.

I think Du Ang is our man.

I don’t play clowns.

You’re the most flexible among us.

No one can play it except you.

Shut up.

Am I funny?

Who said clowns must be funny?

They can be cool.

Right?

Yeah.

Well, I’ll rewrite the script.

As for the girls,

Kaixin is good for...

I want to play the lead actress.

Please, my dearest Qiyi.

Qiyi,

who would remember roles other than the lead ones?

The lead actors are whom we watch on TV.

Kaixin,

I have an idea.

We both give it a try.

The better one gets the role,

OK?

Alright.

You’re such an affectionate man.

You’re buried in my soil,

where you take root,

and tie me up with your roots.

Your thick canopy

shades every inch of me.

In the abyss of darkness,

I’ve already fallen completely.

Look at me.

Look at me.

I don’t know when I started

to get used to living so humbly,

and wishing you could set your eyes

on me.

Forget it.

Forget it.

None of that matters anymore.

You’re the one

and only.

I love you

with all my heart.

I think Qiyi is better.

Qiyi did great,

but I’ll go with Kaixin.

Huh?

Sorry, Kaixin.

I think Qiyi is better.

What do you want?

Du!

If you’re angry,

take it out on me.

Why do you think I’m angry?

If you’re not happy,

punch me.

Do you have the guts to fight me?

What kind of man are you to embarrass a girl in the rehearsal?

Listen, Fang Yan.

I’ll do my part in the play.

But our brotherhood

is over.

I wonder how Hao Kaixin

got admitted to Performing Arts.

I hear she has a special talent,

martial arts.

So she can only work as a stand-in

like a sandbag

in a crew.

In Showbiz,

plain girls have no future.

Shadowing Lu Qiyi doesn’t give her

any privileges.

Kaixin,

check it out for me.

Is the schedule OK?

Isn’t it always your call?

So, rehearsal at 9:00 AM tomorrow.

Don’t forget.

I want to play the lead actress.

Okay, my dearest Qiyi?

Like I said,

it’s difficult to be an actress.

Who would remember roles other than the lead ones?

The lead actors are

whom we watch on TV.

Late for the first rehearsal.

Are we gonna rehearse or not?

Fang Yan said he couldn’t make it

and would come in the afternoon.

How can we rehearse with someone absent?

Let’s do it another time.

Kaixin,

let’s read the lines today.

Sanshang,

can you read Fang Yan’s lines?

I don’t mind.

But most of my parts are with Fang Yan.

I’m not good at

filling in for others.

Du.

Can we work a little hard on it?

The tryout is in two days.

If I were the lead actress,

I’d do my best.

How about this?

I’ll fill in for him.

OK.

Du Ang,

start with you.

Prologue.

I’ll start with this.

Du Ang.

Yeah.

You’re playing a clown.

Can you add more exaggerating

or funny moves?

I think it’d be better.

Oh.

Got it.

Well...

Hey!

Hey!

Du Ang, where are you going?

I think we’re all in great shape.

However, we need to pay attention

to details,

especially the lines.

We need more practice.

Let’s go over it again.

OK.

Alright.

I’ll read it.

Act one,

date…

- Excuse me. - March...

I have to take a call.

You guys go on.

You always interrupt me.

25th.

Hello? Hai.

Did you consider it?

Yes, I did.

I have so much homework.

So I probably can’t go this time.

Then I won’t be able

to get you a role in the film, Jujiu.

OK.

Maybe this is destined.

But do call me next time

when you need me.

Alright.

So be it.

Thank you.

Bye.

Here.

Thank you, sir.

How did it go with the rehearsal?

Not bad.

OK.

What’s it about?

It’s about two actresses

fighting for the lead.

You wrote the script?

Mm-hmm.

It’s a good theme.

Better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion.

The actors who don’t want to be the lead are not good actors.

But Qiyi,

do you know

why everyone wants to be the protagonist?

Because only they can be remembered by the audience.

Have you watched Crazy Stone?

Yes.

Is Huang Bo the lead actor?

No.

But everyone remembers him.

And this supporting role

is the start of his career.

Do you know why?

Because he cherishes every chance to perform.

His motto is

“There are no minor roles, only blinkered actors.”

Qiyi,

do you know what to do now?

Hey,

hey, what is this different from the real one?

It looks real, which means it’s not real.

Then let’s do a swap.

Let’s just switch it over, right?

What?

Kaixin,

I want to talk to you.

A swap?

That’s right.

You can play Rufeng.

Fang Yan as Tianzong

Mr. Three Million,

Miss Ruoyu has been very popular recently.

Shall we

give her a chance to audition

for the lead actress of the new play?

No.

Li Sanshang as Mr. Three Million

If Miss Rufeng finds out

someone is shaking her up as the lead actress,

she’ll go crazy.

That’s true.

But a theatre has to

embrace new actors and actresses

to keep the audience’s attention.

Among all actresses,

who else is

more impressive than Ruoyu?

Not only does she have a good voice,

but she’s also tender

and modest.

Do you think we should...?

I advise you

to keep some distance from Ruoyu.

I heard

someone saw you

and her discussing script alone

in the park last night.

If Miss Rufeng finds out

that her boyfriend

is so kind to another woman,

she’ll probably be astonished.

We were discussing the script last night.

She didn’t understand some of it.

The show is about to start.

Let’s watch

Miss Rufeng’s performance first.

Lu Qiyi as Ruoyu

Hao Kaixin as Rufeng

♪The stage is my kingdom♪

♪All bow to me♪

♪Be my prisoner♪

♪Make sure your heartbeat and passion echo my steps♪

♪Keep spinning, make everyone jealous♪

♪Between heaven and earth♪

♪I’m the only one who’s beautiful and kind♪

♪Everyone is crazy for me♪

Du Ang as the Clown

♪I do everything for your applause♪

♪Let me light the area in front of you♪

♪Tear your heart apart and light up your eyes♪

♪Whose favorite are you in the center of the stage♪

♪I will not be defeated♪

♪You’re nobody’s lead actress♪

Dean.

Yeah.

Would you like to say a few words?

After you. Please.

OK.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I can see that

you’ve put a lot of thought

into this assignment.

Good job.

We’ve discussed it

and agreed

that the play by Lu Qiyi’s team

is more fascinating

in both the storyline

and the performance.

And I admire their courage

to make it a musical.

So we decided

that Lu Qiyi’s team

should participate in the show

on behalf of the freshmen.

Yeah!

However,

there are some problems with it.

The stage effect is rather dull.

So we decided

some of you will perform

and the others work behind the scenes.

Let’s try our best

to present the best work

on the stage.

I hope everyone will work hard.

Dean?

Mm-hmm.

Your comments, please.

Sure.

Mr. Sun is right.

No more compliments.

It’s true that there are still some problems.

The prominent one I think

is that we need to reconsider the cast.

I watched the other three groups perform.

I think

Bai Qiao is a better candidate for the homeless girl, Rufeng.

Also,

the clown.

It requires the high flexibility of the actor.

It seems you can

barely manage it.

I think the most flexible boy

in your class

is a better candidate.

Sir,

so you’re saying

I’m no longer needed.

We should avoid our weaknesses.

Sir,

we have been practicing for a long time

and we perform better as a team.

It’s settled.

This musical

is meant to be the best by the freshmen.

So the cast has to be the best.

I’m fine.

Qiyi,

maybe I’ll never be

the lead actress in my life.

Hello?

Hello?

Qiao,

when is this month’s money coming in?

Don’t worry.

I’ll transfer it in a few days.

Look,

your tuition is over 10,000 a year.

But till now,

you haven’t acted in any works.

What a waste of money!

Alright,

I’ll transfer the money tomorrow, OK?

Why do you want to sell your bag?

I don’t like it anymore.

This bag is worn out.

What?

How?

I only carried it twice.

Once it’s used, its value drops.

You name a price then.

3,000.

3,000?

I bought it for over 10,000.

Then inquire elsewhere.

That’s my offer.

Hello? Hai.

It’s about the thing you said last time.

Yeah, I’ve considered it.

800 soldiers rushed to the north slope.

For the next pose,

I’d like you to form some kind of

communication

with your partners.

Ready?

Go.

Nicely done, Qiyi.

You’re great, too.

What is this?

I’m Rose.

I’m Jack.

What a lame pose!

No wonder the ship sank.

OK, resume your positions!

The girls did great.

What’s wrong with the boys in your class?

You’re so lifeless.

Can you practice a little harder?

Show me your muscles

and your strength!

Ma’am,

here comes the strength.

Ma’am,

may I have a dance with you?

Southern University of the Arts

Hello? Aunt.

Hi, Qiyi.

Aunt, do you remember

the end-term show I told you about?

The date is set.

And I got the lead role.

Congratulations, Qiyi.

Good luck!

Thank you, Aunt.

And Dad said

he’d come to watch it with my grandparents.

If you’re available,

I’d like to invite you, too.

Great. When?

It’s next weekend.

Make sure you do your best.

Don’t let us down.

Most of all, don’t let your grandpa down.

Understood?

Don’t worry, Aunt.

I’ll do my best.

Good. Is that all?

I have to go.

Yes, that’s all.

By the way, Aunt,

I wrote the...

Hello?

Kaixin,

are you going out?

Mm-hmm.

How did you do on the Marxist Philosophy test last week?

Not bad.

I can speak in a hoarse voice.

That would be better.

Bai Qiao,

finally.

Sorry.

I’m late.

It’s OK.

We just started.

I read the lines for you.

Thank you.

Hey,

you OK?

Yeah, I’m fine.

Let’s do it.

OK.

What the heck is going on?

Tianzong,

someone drugged my coffee.

I...

Help me, Tianzong.

Help me, Tianzong.

What were you thinking?

You screwed up an important show.

It wasn’t my intention.

Someone set me up.

It’s like this.

It wasn’t my intention.

Someone set me up.

With emotion.

Look at him in the eyes.

What’s the difference?

Go on, go on.

Forget it. Don’t fight.

Help me, Tianzong.

Someone set you up?

Who can prove it?

I can testify to Miss Rufeng.

I saw it.

Someone did set her up.

Tianzong,

please believe me.

Tianzong,

you have to believe me.

Tianzong,

you have to believe me.

I think you can grab him at this point.

Are you Rufeng or am I?

But every line I wrote

serves a purpose.

Calm down. It’s OK.

Qiyi is right.

Let’s do as she said.

Bai Qiao improvised it great.

It’s the same.

It means pretty much the same thing.

But...

I think we should call it a day.

No one’s in the best shape.

Hey,

Bai Qiao is definitely drunk.

Also,

why is Qiyi so irritable today?

She isn’t usually like this.

Why don’t we rehearse in the afternoon?

More?

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Fang Yan,

was I bad-tempered

during the rehearsal?

I know you’re under a lot of pressure.

I invited my family to watch the show,

so I have to do my best.

Silly girl.

Don’t put so much pressure on yourself.

Thank you.

Well,

do you think the script is lame?

Let me put it this way.

Many scripts

are being revised

until the shooting.

Recently,

- Well… - the famous actor, Su Wen...

Can you read the script

- after the evening rehearsal? - According to an insider,

Su Wen is suspected of tax evasion.

And his previous investment in films

is thought to be money laundering.

Fang Yan.

Su Wen’s image as a good man

- Fang Yan. - is questioned.

Huh?

Next, a quick look at the latest films.

Fang Yan,

- help me improve the script - The shooting of The Undercover

- after the rehearsal. - by a famous director, Wang Liang,

- I have other plans. - kicks off at Hengdian.

- Maybe you have to do it on your own. - We’re informed that this film

- I have to go. - that features martial arts

takes 7 years in the planning.

Director Wang, with his talent,

gathers Li Kun, Zhao Ying

and other leading actors in his cast.

This film is expected

to be released next year.

You haven’t eaten, have you?

No.

I ordered some for you.

Here.

Thank you.

Is it good?

Mm-hmm.

It’s great.

I came over last night

and waited for you until 11:00 PM.

Is something wrong?

No.

My friend broke up with her boyfriend.

I went to stay with her.

Oh.

I was told that the doctor came from abroad.

I did come back from abroad.

Generally speaking,

your face

is featureless.

Your facial organs

don’t look bad.

But on the whole…

How should I put it?

I think it’s unattractive.

Really unattractive.

Well,

what do you suggest?

Miss,

don’t worry.

Well,

we can get your chin

reduced a bit.

Here.

Here.

Check this out.

We have several packages.

And this.

Doctor,

do I have to do all these?

Don’t you want to be a star?

Yeah.

Then tell me this.

Which actor or actress

hasn’t had plastic surgery?

I’ll be honest with you.

I’m not exaggerating.

Our hospital

is basically their first choice.

Well, for our business’s sake,

we have to keep it confidential.

I promise

you’ll become prettier and more elegant

than those actresses.

Because you’re not bad all over.

And you’re young.

Right?

Rest assured.

We won’t mislead you.

We have professional ethics.

It’s your call.

OK.

I don’t have the key.

Dude,

my dorm is locked.

I can’t get in.

Can I use your phone?

Do you have Uzhda’s number?

How about Luo Xiuwen’s?

You don’t have their numbers?

I don’t know them.

Alright. Forget it.

I’ll sit and wait.

How many times have I told you

not to turn around when filming?

You wanna steal the spotlight?

From the lead actress?

I’m talking about you.

Don’t laugh.

Fame or job? Your choice.

Let me tell you.

I can find as many extras

like you as I wish.

Do you want to keep this job or not?

Ox.

Get out of here.

Ox.

I’m Hao Kaixin.

I’m good at martial arts.

Hao Kaixin.

Yeah.

What can I do for you?

I want

to make money.

To make money?

Yeah.

Is there anything I can do?

I’m counting on you, Ox.

Come with me.

Chiba Restaurant

You’re good.

What a waste

if you don’t act!

Come to me when you need money.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you, Ox.

However, I have to give you

a small tip.

As a stunt double,

your face can’t appear on camera.

If necessary,

you take the beating.

Don’t fight back.

Got it.

Yeah.

Casablanca

Hey, Sun.

What are you doing tonight?

It’s your birthday.

Don’t you remember?

It doesn’t matter how I found out.

Clear your schedule for tonight.

Alright, say no more.

It’s settled.

Why did Lu Qiyi choose Fang Yan?

Why didn’t she choose you?

Me?

It doesn’t matter.

But look at me.

I’m good-looking,

hot,

humorous,

and charming.

And I’m rich.

I can’t even find a flaw in myself.

You and Lu Qiyi were childhood sweethearts

and you’ve known each other for ten years.

I would understand if she chose you.

But how was she bewitched by Fang Yan?

I think you’re good

in every way,

except for the long face.

But you’re kind under the cool demeanor,

a better man than Fang Yan.

And you’re more handsome.

You’re not bad.

Oh, I’m flattered.

Hey,

you’re always playing others’ songs.

Why don’t you write one yourself?

I haven’t written songs in a long time.

Your inspiration has dried up.

That’s a shame.

It’s a shame.

Xiaoshi I’m already here.

Xun

Hello?

Shall we begin?

I’d like to apologize to you.

I was bad-tempered.

It’s OK.

We understand.

Let’s do it.

OK.

By the way, Qiyi.

Let’s practice the part in the center.

I think…

You and Sanshang should come up first.

Hello? Kaixin.

Don’t panic.

I’ll be right there.

What’s wrong?

It’s Kaixin!

Hey!

Calm down.

Tell us what happened.

Kaixin hurt an actor in the crew.

She’s detained by Ox.

He’s gonna break her leg

if we don’t compensate.

I have to go save her.

I know Ox.

I’ll go with you.
