[Snow Lover]

[Episode 3]

Take a break.

Let me get you some.

What takes so long?

Why hasn't he come back?

Hi, Xiao’an it's me.

I have a question for you.

How can you get a man

to make the first move?

No it's not me, it's my friend.

Come on! You've only got one friend

and that's me.

Lin Jinjin, I'm warning you.

Behave yourself.

Don't tell me that.

Our master has been busy doing research.

Don't make trouble for him.

Hello?

Lin Jinjin!

Ke.

Xiao‘an, how come you're still here?

They said that programmers work from 9am to 9pm, six days a week.

It's not even seven o'clock.

People have already left?

Our boss said

it's incompetent

to not be able to finish work within working hours.

The later they leave,

the worse they are.

You guys

are so productive?

You work while playing

and you finish work on time?

Let me tell you something.

If you can't finish it, take it home

or work on weekends.

Your boss is crazy.

He's even stricter than a teacher.

Yeah.

It must be tough for you guys

to work for this kind of manager

at your first job after graduation.

Well, on the other side,

no sweet without sweat.

It'll be easier to work for anyone

as no one is harder to deal with than him.

Anyway, it's hard to find someone

whose IQ is 180

but EQ is only 20.

Only incompetent people

complain about too much work.

Sir.

Xiao‘an, I gotta go.

Wan Zi is waiting for me downstairs.

Take care. I'm outta here.

See you Sir.

Mr. He, you haven't left?

It's said that scriptwriters lack a sense of time.

Now I see.

You spent the whole afternoon

watching videos, napping,

eating, drinking,

and chitchatting,

basically doing nothing.

You didn't finish your work

yet you complained about others.

I need to work in an absolutely quiet environment.

And also,

the videos I watched

and the chitchat I made are all related to work.

I watched videos

about games

and talked about games.

Mr. He,

if you don't mind,

I'm gonna go back to work.

Where's Ye Nan?

Stop acting.

He's not here.

He's not here?

Where's he? When will he come back?

Why didn't he tell me?

Why did he have to tell you?

Who do you think you are?

Jinjin,

you're so beautiful.

Check this out.

Thanks.

When will your boss be back?

It won't be long.

His bag's here.

I'll be waiting for him in the lounge.

You think she's pretty?

Is your boss back?

No, not yet.

Is he back?

Jinjin,

I have no idea.

He doesn't tell us.

Not yet?

He's supposed to be back.

It's ten o'clock.

When will he be back?

I've drunk two bottles of water

and he hasn't come back.

We are busy to death.

We don't have time for you.

You finally come back.

She's been looking for you.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Then why are you here?

Making troubles?

Tonight,

shall we go have some snacks?

Well, not tonight.

I have to count inventories later.

Let me help you.

Many hands make light work.

No thanks. Give it to me.

♫Tell me please, how you so easily♫

Here's your stuff.

Give it to me.

Where do I put it?

Yeah, right there.

Put it here.

On top of it.

Yes, that's right.

Put it here.

Alright, thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Lin Jinjin!

I am late!

Why's the rush?

You don't have to punch in.

Better safe than sorry.

Who knows when your boss

is gonna pick on me.

Why are you all wearing suits?

What day is today?

Ten minutes later,

all relevant stuff go to the meeting room for the proposal meeting.

It ruins the beautiful morning

seeing his sad face in the early morning.

All my happiness are now gone.

I feel sorry for you to have this kind of manager.

Actually,

I kind of admire him.

Business skills that he has,

you have to admit it,

it's incomparable.

Although sometimes

he doesn't quite smile, right?

And he's a little bit mean.

But you see?

He buys us

all the coffee and snacks.

He's a nice person.

Yeah, you're right.

Based on the topic of skiing,

I came up with

several proposals as follows.

The first is about love.

The lead actress is a rich kid

whose parents die in a car crash.

After his uncle inherits her family wealth,

she is assigned to the ski resort

and becomes a junior staff.

The second one

is about adventure and mystery.

The lead actor is expected to win

the world championship.

One day,

he has an accident

when he goes to ski

with his friends in the mountains.

As he thinks he'll almost die,

he wakes up suddenly

and finds himself back to the day before.

He's dead and reborn over and over again

and he finally realizes that his death

is not that simple.

Mr. He,

which one of these

do you like the best?

What do you guys think?

Sir,

I'm for the love one.

Nowadays this kind of

bossy boyfriend topic

is really hot

among modern females.

I prefer the second one,

the mystery.

Many TV series

are in this category.

See?

Thrilling,

brain-racking,

exciting,

more high-end

than the love one.

This one is not too bad.

The character is stuck in a game world,

and has to choose between

love and reality.

This story

is so sad

that it'll catch players eyes.

You see the problem?

You turn these game designers

into film critics.

Have you played the games I told you？

I learned about it.

Movies and series are telling stories,

but games are getting people engaged.

You have to let the player

choose the story they like.

If there's only one story line,

what is the player gonna do?

Turning into a Netflix subscriber?

Game focuses on fast-paced

and exciting

explorations.

It's not a

love movie that makes the audience cry.

But girls can play games.

Maybe they'll like it.

What's your evidence?

How many girls will play?

How many games have you played?

What game magazines have you read?

Game commentaries?

I told you to experience games yourself

is to let you figure out

what you should do.

And you cut corners to ask them for help?

This is how you get your work done?

I hired you to play the role of planning

not only because you can ski

but I want you

to use your experiences as a scriptwriter

to enrich the story line of the game.

Now it seems like

this kind of unrealistic scripts

can be written

by anyone here today.

Give me a script proposal

that really fits a skiing game

in three days.

Well, Sir.

Three days...

It's kinda short with only three days.

Yeah, three-day is a tight schedule.

Well...

How about you being the manager?

That's it for today.

Go.

Go.

I can do it.

Go. Go. Go.

Wang Xiao'an,

it's not hard to hold on to your dreams,

but it's hard to seize

every chance for you to prove yourself.

When you complain

that you're not recognized,

have you ever thought

if you really

try your best?

How come he said I didn't work hard?

I'm not afraid of

hard work.

No.

I can't let him look down on me.

Xiao'an.

Don't... Don't cry.

Don't take it serious

for what he said.

We've all been criticized by him.

Yeah, that's true.

Xiao‘an,

you know what?

Last time I wrote a report

with two mistakes about punctuation.

You know what he did to me?

He forced me

to go through the rules of punctuation

for a whole hour.

It's not a big deal.

Last time we went out for a meeting

but I didn't park well.

After the meeting,

he forced to practice parallel parking

for an hour.

Yeah.

He's right.

Don't take it serious.

Perhaps he's used to

criticizing us men,

and hasn't got time to change it

when there's suddenly a girl in group.

Don't take it serious.

It's okay.

It's my contact lenses.

-Really? -Yeah.

All right.

Go back to work.

I'm gonna change them.

Ke,

buy some snacks.

Snack break.

Here's the tea.

See?

Whenever he criticizes someone,

he'd ask Ke

to buy lots of snacks

to make up for it.

Think about it,

this is his first project.

You know what?

All eyes are on him.

He can't make a single mistake.

We need to understand him.

Ke Le,

can you buy

something expensive next time?

He's been so hard on me

that I could take Angus Steak for a compensation.

Alright, I'll do it next time.

Wan Zi,

whose game commentary do you usually watch?

Me? I watch commentaries by everyone.

Give me one or two recommendations.

I'd like to know

what the popular game stories are these days.

Sure, no problem.

I'll send you the link.

Thanks.

These are previous game proposals.

Am I looking at the surface,

or the truth beneath the surface?

These proposals

are references for me.

Isn't it dirty?

Wang Xiao'an,

you're a girl.

Can you pay more attention to hygiene?

Ever since you joined the company,

it's getting messy here.

And you blame me for that?

All right. OK. Fine.

It's my fault.

You're the boss.

You're always right.

These are confidential files.

You're not allowed to release them.

Give it back to me after you finish reading them.

And also,

can you eat something healthier?

Don't worry.

I care about nutrition.

It's too late.

Time to go home.

I'm gonna stay for a while.

You can take it home.

Two more pages and I'll go.

OK.

I wait for you.

You can go first.

You're like a teacher

sitting here

supervising his student to do the homework.

You distract me.

That's why I asked you to take it home.

You are a totally

control freak.

How come you even want to

control the time I spend at company.

It's a disease.

You need to see the doctor.

Do you have the keys here?

No, I don't.

See, if you don't go home,

I can't lock the door.

I'll give you a ride.

No thanks, I've called the taxi.

Go.

It takes time to get a taxi to the office park here.

All right.

Wait inside the building.

Take care.

You knew it's hard to get a taxi

and you still left?

What the hell...

Low EQ.

Stupid guy.

The God is fair

to give you IQ

and take away your EQ.

Hi there, let's go.

Come in.

Mr. He.

I've emailed you

the new story lines.

You finished in one night?

Scriptwriters work

as efficiently as programmers.

Wang Xi'ao,

I granted you three days

to take care of the quality of your work

and you just put together everything in one night.

Are you fooling me?

You didn't even see it

and you denied it.

I set the main character

as a ski athlete

who suffers both mentally and physically becasu of an injury.

In this way,

it's easier to develop empathy between the player and the character

The injury,

retirement age,

his emotions, rivalries and accomplishments

are all the difficulties

of getting a medal.

What's more, the setting of an athlete

can focus more stories

on the skiing games

and skills.

Also I add in factors of love and mystery.

In this way, it'll be more diversified

and less dull.

I've written it briefly.

If you think it's ok,

I'll expand it in details.

You wrote it by yourself?

Of course.

I'm talented and potential.

OK.

Expand it based on this story line.

Anything else?

No.

Xiao'an.

How is it?

Hooray!

You're trying so hard.

I admire you.

Sure.

This project is related

to my career development in the future.

Also,

I can't be looked down upon by your boss.

Ke,

is there any place

where I can have a rest?

I stayed up all night.

I can't stand it.

The biggest meeting room upstairs

is always empty

except when there's an all-member meeting

or a conference call.

Go.

Ok, I'm gonna take a nap there.

Call me if there's anything.

OK.

Hello,

Wang Xiao'an,

you must take Lin Jinjin...

Hello, Xiao'an,

you just go to your work.

Don't listen to him.

He is so dramatic.

Jinjin is good here.

Bye.

Am I dramatic?

The store is about to be knocked down by her.

Is it called good?

This jinx was

brought in by her.

She should take it away.

How busy is she?

Can you not bother her

just because of this thing?

You're biased.

How many troubles

has Lin Jinjin made these days?

On the first day,

the power went out because she used the hair curler.

Lin Jinjin!

On the second day,

she spilled her drink on the front door

where ice formed.

OK. OK.

Lin Jinjin!

My butt is still hurting now.

The most annoying thing is on the third day,

she ate spicy hotpot in the store.

Yesterday...

Hello, Ai.

I'm sick.

The doctor told me to rest quietly.

Lin Jinjin.

If I can't see you at 9am tomorrow morning,

you should never come.

Don't be angry.

OK. I'll be right back.

It's okay. It's okay.

Don't worry about me.

No.

Lin Jinjin must leave.

Right now.

She is a friend of Xiao'an.

Be nice to her.

No way.

If she is still here, I'll go.

We can not co-exist.

Why do you always pick on her?

I don't.

It's her who always make troubles for me.

My butt is hurting now.

Stop. Fine. Fine.

I'll give you a half-day off.

Recover from your injury

and don't mention it anymore when you come back tomorrow.

Fine.

You're so biased.

Dates before mates.

Let me tell you,

she is a bad member in our team.

As long as she's here,

your store will be shut down sooner or later.

Don't you cry then.

Sorry, Zhou Xu.

I didn't mean to

lock you in the warehouse.

I wanted to help.

Maybe I should leave.

I won't bother you here.

Who said you bothered me?

But I always ask you

to teach me skiing

and I'm not good at skiing.

I'm disturbing your work.

I can't help you with your store.

You must think I'm a jinx.

No.

Everyone likes you.

Do you?

I'll be back soon.

Don't miss me too much.

If we don't innovate,

we need to develop some new functions

in the current game.

Why should we waste time and energy

to develop a similar game from scratch?

If we always stay in the comfort zone,

we'll be defeated by other companies.

I'd like to be innovative,

but the company can't bear any risks.

The company hired me,

so you should believe in my capability.

I trust you.

But how about the investors?

Besides the capability,

they also care about experience.

He Feng.

You're so young.

It's normal that investors don't trust you.

These years,

people are cautious to invest in projects.

Who dares spend money letting a new team

to do something innovative?

As long as the project has a selling point,

there must be some investors appreciating it.

There is no similar project competing us

in the market.

As long as we...

What?

Nothing.

Just give me a chance.

I'll prove it to you that...

Fine.

How about this?

I'll meet the investor

tomorrow afternoon.

If you can convince the investor tomorrow,

I'll allow you to develop the interactive game.

There is only one day left.

Mr. Li,

Time is really tight. I...

Leave me alone.

You told me yesterday

that it's more difficult to seize the chance

than to hold on to the dream.

I'm saying it to you today.

It's not that easy.

Put others aside.

The story

hasn't been decided yet.

It's not a big deal.

We usually go to investors

when we don't decide our plays.

As long as you clarify the core value.

Game is different from the play.

It's not

as easy as

drawing up a framework.

Besides the framework,

the most important is the detail.

At least we have one day

to add more details.

That day

is not the chance for you,

but a chance for me.

If I can't show my values

in this project,

our company will not

continue the contract with me.

Then my dream of becoming a scriptwriter

that I've been chasing for 3 years will come to an end.

He Feng.

You've ruined

my dream first love.

I hope you won't ruin my career.

So,

you need to carry on.

Don't drag me down,

or I'll give you a piece of my mind.

Don't blame me then.

Come in.

Mr. He,

can I work in your room?

All meeting rooms are not available.

Kind of noisy.

I'll tell them to be quiet.

No. No.

I'm here

and I can talk to you anytime.

♫Hardly ever hear the sound of heart beating♫

♫The world becomes so quiet♫

♫When the pure heart is in your eyes♫

♫I make a promise to you this time♫

♫Just close♫

♫and say the love clearly♫

♫Look forward to a response♫

♫I want use my life to be with you♫

♫Beautiful love♫

♫Beautiful love♫

♫Save the memory and breath together♫

♫Thanks for the nice meeting♫

♫Beautiful love♫

♫Every time I hold you tight♫

♫Warm the winter♫

What do you think if we name the game

Pink Snow?

Professionals know that.

Powder snow means the snow in powder,

which is the highest quality of snow for skiing.

The people who don't know will think of

the beautiful pink snow.

If the name is too fancy,

male gamer player will not be interested.

I think it will stimulate

the interest of male game players

in exploring the game.

If it won't work,

we'll change the logo

more masculine.

Mix them together.

Let's call it pink snow.

OK.

Stop drinking.

Go have a rest.

You stayed up last night.

Let me handel

the rest.

It's not a big deal to stay up late

for a scriptwriter.

There was a week

when I needed to finish the script every night

for the shooting next day.

If I couldn't do it on time,

there would be nothing to shoot for on the next day.

There was no time for sleeping

or a cup of coffee.

It's basically writing.

Now thinking back,

I really don't know

how I made it.

My first impression about you

is that you're a girl

who would be nervous

if she fails to set up the projector.

I'm so surprised

that you can be this calm

when you face difficulties.

People change

as they get older.

At that time,

you were just like a king in my eye.

You don't give a shit

about anything and anyone.

So,

now I'm not the king.

No.

Today it was like

when I was back in school

and was told to come to the teacher's office for punishment,

when I opened the door

I found you were also there.

There's more empathy

and commons between us.

I heard it from Ke

it needs to cooperate with

the regular script writing teams,

but you insist on using film and TV scriptwriter.

Why?

Well my answer would be

I'd like to check if my assistant can keep my secret.

Would you believe it?

The reason why I hired you

was hoping you would bring in

inspirations to this project.

I'd seen some proposals

that are professional,

but the story line is too simple.

It's hard to enrich the story

based on the current story line.

It's like when you're watching a play,

you'll know where the story is heading to at the very beginning.

The players will lose their interests for sure.

If you want to add more options at the ending?

Not only options based on the main story line,

it's okay to have a totally different ending.

You give the players surprise.

I don't like all options

in my games

are pointing to those known endings.

When I started writing scipts,

my boss always said my plots were unexpected.

Say if it was supposed to about romance,

then I would always have new ideas

because of a certain character

or an event,

so I would create some plots unrelated to the main story line.

Is this what you want?

The unexpected plots?

Yes.

Then our selling point is

the diversification of the story.

The diversification of plots

would have a high error-tolerant rate.

Even if the player chooses the wrong option,

he or she can continue exploring the game.

I didn't expect my shortcoming as a scriptwriter

becomes the advantage as a game planner.

Wait for me.

I'm gonna write down the ideas.

The frame of our game

is very complete.

You don't even have to worry about

the online operation and marketing.

We'll handle it.

OK.

Don't worry.

OK.

How's it going?

What do the investors think of it?

They approved it?

Tell me.

You're driving me crazy.

Yes.

The investor approved it.

Yes.

♫Hardly ever hear the sound of heart beating♫

♫The world becomes so quiet♫

♫When the pure heart is in your eyes♫

♫Just close♫

What?

Sir.
