[1936 Shanghai]

What an arrogant guy.

What do you want exactly?

Do it.

Cut.

You just

did a great job.

Go get some rest.

Okay.

Move the light over here a bit.

Here.

Yes, director.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

When you see me lift my leg next time,

step back in advance.

Then you won't get hit badly.

Yu.

Mr. Lin is here.

Mr. Lin...

[The Legend of Huangpu]

Mr. Lin

bought Mengsheng.

This company is no longer ours.

We should show some respect to him.

Try this.

These are all from your fans.

I couldn't really refuse them.

Give these back to them.

Well...

From now on, don't take irrelevant people here

when I'm shooting a film.

Okay.

I'll

figure out a way to give them back.

What's wrong?

My tie clip is gone.

I think I dropped it during shooting.

Sit down.

The next scene will begin soon.

After the next scene

is finished,

I'll look for it with you.

Don't worry.

You won't lose it here.

Okay.

Look for it carefully.

When camera B is here,

you need to pay attention to the whole scene.

Yu.

Get ready to start.

Ready.

Action.

I don't compete with others for anything,

but if something belongs to me,

I'll never give in.

[2018 Shanghai]

An unfortunate man

would be drowned in a teacup.

What is that?

Who are you?

Why...

Why are you in my house?

I should call the police first.

What's going on?

Help!

Help!

[See You Again]

[Episode 1]

[2018 Shanghai]

My name is Jin Ayin,

a pretty lady in this new era.

Many people envy my job as a screenwriter,

because I can make a lot of money

by just typing on a computer.

But

that's the wonderful life of a successful screenwriter.

I'm just

a nobody

working hard day and night.

Funny short videos.

Popular online articles.

I make money

wherever I'm needed.

Miss.

Are you inside?

You must pay the rent

before 12:00 a.m. tomorrow.

If I didn't like

art workers like you,

I wouldn't have allowed you

to pay the rent with art.

Facing hardships,

I have nothing

and I can only keep working.

Since my trivial life

hasn't broken

my dream of becoming a movie screenwriter,

even if I'm

a ghostwriter,

I want to be the best one.

I'll give you one last day.

It's up to you.

Because my favorite line is

I don't compete with others for anything,

but if something belongs to me,

I'll never give in.

We arrived at this hour.

Are you stupid?

Why are you looking at me?

Go find the director.

I told you

I must see the director today.

Do you hear me?

Okay.

You can't even

do your job.

Don't think about getting money.

Walk faster!

There you are.

Isn't this the famous Ms. Mu?

What a coincidence.

Jin Ayin.

Should we talk about the remuneration

that you should've paid me eight months ago?

How aggressive!

Get out of my way!

Step aside.

Impressive.

Ms. Mu, stop running.

You can't go in there, Ms. Mu.

[Turn left]

Ms. Mu.

I got your braid.

My braid?

Give me the money now.

Do you hear me?

You win.

Just take it.

Why are today's young people

so persistent?

Don't they know giving up?

What the hell is this place?

Ms. Mu.

How is it?

I specially found this shitty place

for you.

If you don't give me the money this time,

no one will save you.

Good for you, Jin Ayin.

You set me up.

I told you not to go in,

but you didn't listen.

Ms. Mu.

Just run.

Keep running.

It's no fun.

Cut the crap.

Give me the key.

Give me the money.

Let go of me!

You stay out of my way.

Ms. Mu, don't run.

Open the door!

You hellcat!

Come back!

I'm exhausted.

What should I do? She escaped again.

It took me a lot of effort to catch her.

[A girl jumped from a building]

[after being dumped by an actor surnamed Xiang.]

Xiang Qinyu.

Why is there a newspaper about Xiang Qinyu?

Mengsheng Filming Site.

Is this the place

where Xiang Qinyu shot a film?

Xiang Qinyu,

tell me what I should do.

Here.

Chi Yu.

Here.

I'm speechless about

you dillydallying.

Come, have a seat.

Hu will be here soon.

I've got to get

the role of the leading actor today.

Hu.

Longda.

Come on.

Have a seat.

Yu.

Come, have a seat.

Have a seat.

Hello, Hu.

Hello.

Here, Hu.

Here.

Sorry to

trouble you.

Come on, Chi Yu.

Hu.

Chi Yu.

I know, he's Yu.

Come on.

Hu.

I'm allergic to alcohol.

I'll drink tea instead of wine.

OK. Come on.

Drink.

Let's drink more.

Come on.

Ms. Mu,

let's wait and see.

I swear

I will catch you sooner or later.

It will be directed by world-famous director Feng Yousan,

who hasn't directed a film in the past three years.

Longda, you are lucky.

It's not right.

Why am I a supporting actor?

The director said

he will choose

the leading actor himself.

Who is that?

Why am I here?

I'll tell you who he is.

Yu, have a look.

Hu.

Did...

Did you give me the wrong one?

No. Chi Yu. You'll be the leading actor.

[The Legend of Xiang Qinyu]

Me?

You.

See?

Do they look the same?

This...

They look so alike.

Last week,

our boss

invited Director Feng to our company

to see the rough editing of a film.

Director Feng chose him at the first sight.

He said they're so alike,

and the decision was made.

Chi Yu.

The leading actor.

[Mom]

Sorry, Hu.

I need to answer it.

Help yourself.

It's you.

I won't make things difficult for you.

Go in

and ask Ms. Mu to come out.

Tell her

if she doesn't come out,

I'll start shouting here.

Mu...

Sister.

She took a flight and left in the afternoon.

What?

It takes me more than two hours to make a round trip

and costs me some money.

Listen to me.

You definitely won't get the money.

But...

But

I can

introduce a new job to you.

This is the URL.

There are many orders recruiting ghostwriters.

Brother,

I'm begging you.

That's it.

No, no, no.

Don't, bro.

Slow down.

Put it down.

No way.

I should go now.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

What is this?

You tricked me again.

What are you doing?

I'm just going in to look for someone, bro.

Where's your employee's card?

Bro, I really know someone inside.

Why are you here making trouble without a card?

Why am I so unlucky?

I thought finding a newspaper about Xiang Qinyu

means good luck.

I didn't expect it to be a waste of time again.

[January 16th, the 25th year of the Republic of China]

The Republic of China.

[1999]

Ayin.

Ayin.

Dad.

You are here again.

You come here every day.

This movie was from a long time ago.

-No one would want to watch it now. -I like them.

Xiang Qinyu is the greatest hero.

Give it to me.

-No. -Give it to me.

Why?

Then you must be a good girl.

When you grow up,

I'll give it to you.

Spinning around.

Spinning around.

Look at me.

Why are you laughing?

Journalists learned from the China Earthquake Networks Center that

at 3:23 p.m. today,

at 24.42°N and 118.09°E

near

the East China Sea,

reverse flows were detected under the sea.

They caused a large-scale vortex in the deep sea

and are likely to trigger airflow magnetic field fluctuations

and unpredictable short-term storms.

According to the data monitoring record,

the abnormal fluctuations under the sea

in the nearby waters last time

caused a strong thunderstorm

in cities including Shanghai in 1936.

[It's time to pay the rent.]

Wangcai,

what should I do exactly?

Don't think too much.

Just start working.

It's money anyway.

Come on!

Jin Ayin.

For your dream of being a screenwriter.

An unfortunate man

would be drowned in a teacup.

Who are you?

Why are you in my house?

I should call the police first.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Who are you?

-Help! -Why did you try to kill me?

Who are you?

I'm Jin Ayin.

I'm sorry, bro.

I don't know what I've done to offend you.

Please forgive me.

If you like anything,

go get it yourself.

Go get it yourself.

If money is what you want,

please don't kill me.

You... You're bleeding.

How did he get hurt?

I don't know.

I think it's a gunshot wound.

Wait here.

I'll report it to the higher-ups right away.

Don't go.

What about me?

Sir,

I've done my best.

You are in a hospital.

Someone will come to save you.

Then we should never meet again.

Bed 1 in Ward 101 is calling.

Bed 1 in Ward 101 is calling.

What is this place?

Xiaole.

Hello, kid.

Welcome to our hospital.

Xiaole.

How can I help you?

Please register if you need to see a doctor.

Please go to the second floor to visit your family members.

What is this place?

What the hell.

No way.

Could it be him?

Why do they look so alike?

Impossible.

I'd better run first.

Bro.

Calm down.

It's the middle of the night.

What do you want?

Do you know who I am?

How would I know who you are?

You broke into my house

and yelled at me.

Now you're following me

and you just took my bag.

You really don't know me?

You are definitely not the person I know.

Don't worry.

I know

the rules.

I didn't see anything.

I'm begging you.

Please let me go.

I'm Xiang Qinyu.

You really said that.

I said

I'm Xiang Qinyu.

Are you filming a new show?

A reality prank show?

Are there hidden cameras?

Will I get a bonus if I guess it right?

Enough.

It's the middle of the night. Just come out.

Why are you so dedicated?

That's enough.

Won't you stop acting?

You do look like Xiang Qinyu.

But your temperament

is not as good as his.

Bro.

You're immersed in it.

You...

Xiang...

Xiang Qinyu?

This is mine.

Why do you have it?

This is my ID card.

I was born in 1993.

I...

I'm definitely not the murderer you mentioned.

Jin A..

Is this Yin?

We use simplified Chinese characters now.

Or...

it was one of your ancestors who shot at me.

Impossible.

In my family's past three generations,

no one

looked

similar to me.

My hometown is a small place.

I'm the only one who came to Shanghai.

The

People's Republic

of China?

The People's Republic of China was founded.

Well...

Yu...

Yu,

I don't know

if I

should say this or not.

You are sure

you're not a ghost, right?

I'm here in the flesh.

I don't look like a dead person.

But I hope I am dead.

Then it'll be easier to explain everything.

How did you get this?

So this

is really yours?

Yu.

This tie clip

means a lot to me.

Can you give it back to me?

It means a lot to me too.

And you just said

it's mine.

But

it's the year of 2018 now.

It doesn't belong to you

after you died.

I died?

So you know what happened back then?

I...

I only know that

now

it belongs to me.

Take me to Wuma Road.

What happened back then

should be recorded.

Wuma Road?

Mengsheng Filming Site is gone?

Mengsheng?

[Produced by Mengsheng Studios]

I think I know

the place you just mentioned.

He has a shadow

and makes sound when he walks.

Did he come here through time travel,

just like what's described in books?

He looks so handsome.

I want to go to Mengsheng.

Why did you bring me here?

This is the Film Library.

The original Mengsheng is gone.

Gone?

What happened to Mengsheng?

I don't know.

I thought you want to find out

what happened back then.

Come on. I'll take you there. Let's go.

Yu.

I want you to know

I'm a huge fan of yours.

Today's fans

include fans of singers

and fans of film stars.

Stop talking.

It should be fine now.

Why are you drooling?

Let's go.

This way, Yu.

Yu.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Yu,

I'll let you feel

the power of science and technology.

This one first.

Lower the sound.

Those familiar names back then

represent the glory of an era.

Ruan Lingyu.

Hu Die.

Zheng Zhengqiu.

Yuan Muzhi.

Wang Xianzhai.

Tao Jin.

About them,

we'll tell you one by one.

[In the development history of China's film industry]

That's all?

What about me?

What about my Heroes in Jianghu

and The Night of Wind and Snow?

Wait.

With the rapid development of the film industry

and the rise of many new stars,

a number of film stars

have been forgotten by the world.

Today's audience may have never heard of them.

Never heard of them?

Who?

-Me? -Shush.

Haven't you heard of Iron Heart?

I've heard of it.

And The Stories of Young Heroes?

These are all my famous films.

I know.

Didn't you say

-you've watched my movies since you were a kid? -Shush. Shush.

I did watch your movies.

When I was young,

my dad and his friends went to the flea market

and got a small iron box.

In the iron box,

there was a clip of The Legend of Huangpu.

Your tie clip

was also found inside.

The Legend of Huangpu has finished filming?

No.

It's just a clip.

It's not complete.

Yu,

don't worry.

Let's think of some other ways.

Let me think.

Never heard of them.

Yu,

there are books here.

Yu.

What happened to Mengsheng?

There must be something recorded.

Yu.

Wait for me.

Yu.

[Mengsheng Studios]

Mengsheng.

Yu.

My Mengsheng.

From now on,

we'll have our own film company.

Nice.

No matter how the world changes,

as long as I am still alive,

I won't let you become tramps on the streets.

Great.

Impossible.

How come?

Yu.

[In so many cities in this world,]

[there are so many houses.]

[But you came to my house.]

[Sweet On]

[See You Again]

[Exclusive post-credits scene]

[1937]

Brother.

How about this part?

Mr. Lin said

Xiang Qinyu's The Legend of Huangpu

is no longer needed.

Cut it.
