Song Yanqi!

Song Yanqi!

Song Yanqi!

Qi! Song Yanqi!

Qi!

I didn't expect my life

would shine brightly for a novel

and fall into the abyss because of this novel.

Ji Shu.

I don't think I can go to the world of novels.

We laborers always wake up on alarm,

always eat breakfast during the commute,

and always have to wait for the bus.

Today might be an exception.

How long are you going to sit on my lap?

Sorry, I'll pay for your clothes.

I'll wash it for you.

No need.

I have sanitary pads.

Wet wipes, sanitary wipes.

Forget it.

I'm sorry.

My name is Song Yanqi.

I always take the last bus

to school and work.

I kept motivated in my life

because I almost failed the exams,

almost failed in entering higher education,

and almost being eliminated from the job search.

My hobbies

are reading novels and shipping couples.

Also,

writing fan fiction on Bifengge.com.

If Qi's late,

I'll treat you to lunch.

She's coming.

I'm a last-minute bus catcher.

I really am.

Who lost the bet today?

Sorry.

You never fail to cut it close every single day.

I haven't seen you submit the proposals so punctually.

Proposals need to be creative.

It's not like that I can have creative ideas at will.

You can't.

But I can.

This is Lin Qingmiao,

my strong competitor at work.

Congratulations.

You've successfully made yourself look like her subordinate.

You're good.

She was born with a high attitude.

I really took her as an interviewer during the interview.

But our company's performance is not good this year.

Only one of the people in the same position can be retained.

Is there any suspense?

Before the end,

we don't know about the result.

I like your optimistic attitude.

Looking forward to a twist.

But

even if everyone thinks

the ending is destined,

I would stay optimistic

and look forward to a miracle.

Meeting time.

Yes.

I have an announcement today.

The company has decided

to shift the development strategy

towards the IP market

to increase efficiency

and reduce cost.

Great.

Mr. Jia.

What kind of novel should we choose?

Song Yanqi.

What do you think?

I...

I think

the so-called IPs

are novels and comics

and other forms of works with popularity.

The more popular ones

are big IPs.

The less popular ones are fake IPs.

But in the end,

it's all about content.

As long as the content is good,

real gold is not afraid of fire,

sooner or later,

the content will be known outside of the industry,

which will make the work a big IP.

So,

we should

focus on the content.

Did you find any good content?

Yes.

I've read a novel recently. I'm obsessed with it.

All the readers said it's good.

Go on.

The author of this novel is the emerging Guru, Ji Shu.

His fans are very loyal.

He writes about emotions in an incredibly detailed manner.

This novel is about a popular artist

and an infamous actress

who come back together after a long separation.

The hero gave up his career for the heroine.

The heroine sacrificed silently for the hero.

Finally, they went to the top together.

A passionate theme.

What's its name?

Brighter...

Brighter Than Stars:

Love in the Life of a Best Actor.

Louder!

Brighter Than Stars: Love in the Life of a Best Actor.

This name...

We can change the name.

It's mainly about the content.

Its mood fits is in line with

our company's mission.

High sweetness, no sadness.

And it fits the current market demand for sweetness.

Mr. Jia,

none of this author's works has been adapted into a drama yet.

Without the market inspection,

I don't recommend the company to take the risk.

The content of the novel fits the current market.

Besides,

it has good data and many fans.

Then we should be more careful.

It's not necessary good to have many fans.

Most book fans

don't like novels to be adapted.

When adapting popular novels into films and dramas,

we might be criticized for ruining the original.

I...

Song Yanqi, how about this?

You go talk to the author

about the copyright

and ask about the price.

We'll

see the cost performance first

before we decide

if we'll buy it or not.

Okay, I promise I'll complete the task.

Don't be happy too soon.

If the budget is too high,

you don't have to give me any feedback.

What?

I run a company.

I'm not a philanthropist.

You have to understand your position.

Also,

don't always come to office in the last minute.

If you arrive at 10 when we start working,

after having breakfast, doing makeup,

and going to the toilet,

more than an hour will be gone.

You're here to work

and to create profit for the company.

Dismissed.

He just didn't say the names.

I didn't expect that Ji Shu lives near our neighborhood.

This high-end neighborhood is really different.

I need to register.

Luckily, I got in.

What should I say

to start the conversation?

Ji Shu!

No way.

I should be gentle.

Ji Shu.

He'll think I'm a fanatic fan.

I should be more professional.

Mr. Ji.

Hello.

Excuse me.

301.

Mr. Ji.

What can we do for you?

I suspect she is a thief who came to make marks.

Me? Thief?

No.

I'm looking for Ji Shu.

Mr. Ji.

She is looking for you.

I don't know her.

Are you Ji Shu?

Mr. Ji.

No, I'm not a thief.

Why would a thief bring a gift?

I'm here to talk about work with Mr. Ji.

You don't even know Mr Ji.

What kind of work are you going to talk about?

Leave as soon as possible.

Hurry up and go.

Go.

Mr. Ji, I'm really here to talk about copyright with you.

Leave.

You called me a thief.

Do you have evidence?

If you don't have any evidence, I'll sue you for defamation.

It's not easy for me either. Please understand.

We're both laborers. Please understand.

Excuse me, Mr. Ji.

It's a misunderstanding.

I...

You...

It's not easy for a laborer.

I advise you to go back early.

Mr. Ji.

I'm the planner of Ansheng Film & Television.

I just want to

talk about copyright with you.

I am completely sincere.

I want to talk to you.

Go back.

Yu Le, it's really you.

What's wrong with the trending topic?

Are you filming?

Are you really filming?

Where is the camera?

It's really Yu Le.

It's really Yu Le.

Who is that girl?

He is Yu Le.

Yu Le, the one who sings and dances.

Yes.

Bro, get in the car.

Close the door.

Bro, I told you not to come to experience life.

This is great.

The fans found out about me and blocked me.

Yan will be angry if she knows.

My bro.

Yan has no time to be mad at you because of this.

You are trending again.

What?

Your photo with Xining was exposed.

Now,

we're downstairs of Sheng'an Entertainment.

We have a big news today.

Ye Xining is here! Ye Xining!

Ye Xining! Look!

Ye Xining.

What's your relationship with Yu Le?

Are you trying to piggyback on Yu Le?

I heard you worked together in a movie.

Are you in love because of that movie?

Please answer the question. Thank you.

Please answer the question.

Thank you.

We’re with Yuchi Reporters.

Yu Le is here.

Yu Le, are you here

to admit to your relationship?

Does that mean...

The person you secretly married and have a child with...

All this time,

I didn't clarify the rumor because I didn't think it's necessary.

A clean hand wants no washing.

I'll just do my job.

But now someone is trying to hurt

my family and friends.

I will make the rumor mongers

be punished by law.

Hurry.

Girls, look!

Yu Le took Ye Xining away.

Girls, look!

Family, look!

Yu Le took Ye Xining away.

Their relationship is confirmed.

Yu Le.

Rumors are common for you.

Why didn't you deal with it coldly like before?

I didn't clarify before because I didn't care.

But it's different now.

What's the difference?

What do you think?

But...

Will you be my girlfriend?

It's happy

to see other people in love.

No buts.

The only thing that matters is that I like you.

The only thing that matters is that I like you.

The novel is so sweet.

My fan fiction should be sweeter than the novel.

Mr. Jia,

About Brighter Than Stars...

I've read the novel you sent me.

The theme and data are indeed good.

Keep following.

Try to secure this novel.

Besides,

we're facing an economic slowdown.

You must be careful about the content.

You have to choose

quality

and influential content.

This way, when we negotiate with the platform,

we'll have more advantages.

Mr. Jia.

This is the script evaluation report.

The project is very interesting.

Good.

You two look for IPs together.

Whoever finds the right one

will be the planner

of the company's first novel IP adaption.

Mr. Jia,

I won't let you down.

Go.

Have a seat.

Qi, Brighter Than Stars is amazing.

And I think the company in it

is very fated with our company.

Our company is called Ansheng.

The company in it is called Sheng'an.

I thought the author referred to our company.

The stories about An Jing and Feng Liu

are so intriguing.

You read it?

Yes.

Finally, someone would ship the...

How is it going over there?

I really like this novel.

I want to be a fan of this author.

I can only say

I'll try my best to deal with him.

Yes, I trust you.

Lin Qingmiao

always goes to the boss's office.

She's so good at flattering.

But Qi,

I still trust you.

I look forward to your counterattack.

Okay.

So this is his real name.

It's pronounced the same as his pen name.

What a lazy person.

Hello.

Is this package

for Room 301? Yes.

Yes.

Last-minute bus catcher,

your lucky star is lit up today.

No wonder it's the same name as my boyfriend.

It really belongs to him.

Why don't you give it to me?

I'll take it to him

so that you don't have to bother.

Well...

His last numbers are 7734.

He's 1.83 meters tall.

He looks aloof and not easygoing.

Do you remember him?

Okay, sign it for him.

Okay.

What did he buy that was so heavy?

Thank you.

I should thank you.

What is it?

Mr. Ji. Hello.

I'm Song Yanqi from Ansheng Film & Television.

I'm here to talk to you

about the Brighter Than Stars: Love in the Life of...

-No need. -A Best Actor.

Mr. Ji.

Please open the door.

Your package is here.

Mr. Ji.

Your package.

It was a misunderstanding yesterday.

I'm not a thief.

I know.

About the copyright of Brighter than Stars,

I hope you can listen to

our company's offer.

I don't need it.

Mr. Ji.

Are you worried about something

if you don't sell the copyright?

No.

Do you have any hidden reasons?

No.

Mr. Ji.

Our company attaches great importance to original works.

And the price

must be reasonable market price.

Are you done?

I'm not short of money.

So what?

So good.

The novel Brighter than Stars:

Love in the Life of a Best Actor you've been following

is updated.

Yu Le.

Have you ever thought about how many endorsements

will be withdrawn from you

and how many fans will unfollow?

Do you think people won't gossip

after you sending such a video?

Yan.

I know it's my fault.

But think about it.

Instead of having seven to eight scandal girlfriends every month,

I'd better have a steady one.

Isn't there any difference between a rumored girlfriend

and a real girlfriend?

Don't you know?

I know this will definitely affect me.

But I'm in my transformation period.

Actors are different from idols.

But you're in the same industry.

Yu Le,

I hope you won't regret it.

Don't worry.

I won't regret it.

What's more,

besides being an artist,

I'm also a normal person.

I can't stay single

for the rest of my life.

But not now.

Do you know the endorsement contract clearly states

that a spokesperson can't announce

his relationship during the contract period?

Yu Le,

you are not a newcomer anymore.

You have to follow the rules of the industry.

Yan,

I promise.

Just this once.

I won't do it again.

Don't pretend to be a good boy.

For the next period,

keep a low profile and behave carefully.

Don't show affection to your fans.

I believe

if you're not love-struck

and work hard,

people will still support you.

Of course.

Work is my top priority.

I'll listen to you from now on.

Can I leave now?

Where're you going?

The performance class is about to start.

Hurry up.

Xitian.

Yu Le.

When did you come back?

Just now.

I wanted to give you a surprise.

Surprise?

Yan asked me to come back

to be your choreographer.

I didn't expect it was you.

I thought you didn't want to see me anymore

after I rejected your confession.

No way.

Welcome back.

Xingxing.

What's wrong with this update?

Who is Sun Xitian?

Yu Le had a crush on her.

Gosh.

What era is this, that such a plot still exists?

Isn't sweet love wonderful?

Not for him.

The appearance of Sun Xitian

is the sweet-heartbreaking dividing line of his novel.

You mean

the couple I ship

will have a bad ending?

Xingxing, tell me it's fake.

It's fake.

Ji Shu has a unique writing style.

The first half is very sweet.

But the second half is super heartbreaking.

Concluding with a bad ending

is his usual style.

Besides,

it's a book of unrequited love.

Unrequited love dies without any reason.

This is

crazy.

I thought it would be completely sweet.

Why is there a bad ending?

Oh no.

What should I tell Jia Yingjun?

I'm going to lose my job.

Since the novel is heartbreaking,

I will my fan fiction sweet.

I just wrote the fan fiction for a while.

Why is it getting dark?

This...

No.

No, I...

Where is this?

Yu Le?

There's also a newcomer in real life named Yu Le?

Here.

Be careful.

I'm going to the convenience store to buy some ice.

Let's go home and apply ice.

Okay.

I'll wait for you.

Yu Le.

Why are you here?

You left your glasses at my place.

I brought them here because we're close.

The novel has been adapted into a film?

Impossible. There's no camera here.

Thank you.

Is this

a gift from me?

A pretentious talk.

It's such a dramatic plot.

The audience are bored about it.

I didn't expect it to exist in real life.

I didn't expect that you still keep it.

I'm used to it, so I didn't change it.

Xitian.

Thank you for bringing it to me.

Xitian?

Sun Xitian?

I went into the fan fiction world just because I wrote

it?

No way.

I don't care.

I'll do what I want first.

OK.

I charge a lot for running errands.

It's up to you.

I'll buy you whatever you want next time.

Think about it.

Sun Xitian.

Do you know he has a girlfriend?

No.

You don't?

The whole world knows he has a girlfriend.

She's right there.

Xining.

Be careful.

Xining.

Look at you.

Why are you hiding in that corner?

Let me introduce.

Yu Le's real girlfriend.

Xining.

Why are you hiding there all alone in aggravation?

You should come out and swear to the sovereignty.

OK.

Yu Le.

And you.

My good son.

Don't you want to fight for your career?

You can't be two-timing.

You're ruining your own future.

I...

Qi.

Why are you here?

What did you call me?

Qi.

Qi?

How did she know me?

You...

This dream is so real.
