That's a strong flame.

Why don't you stop working?

We haven't eaten yet.

I'll order takeout later.

It's okay, you guys go ahead and eat.

My brother is still working downstairs.

He might take a while.

It's okay.

When I write the script later,

I'll put my headphones on

and I'll be all good.

What happened today?

You seem so happy.

Can you tell?

When people encounter good news, they feel energized.

I think

once the show

is broadcasted,

you'll understand how I'm currently feeling.

Why? Did your script get approved?

I can't tell you yet.

Do you have to keep it a secret from me too?

Working with such

a lucky person like me,

your luck is bound to improve.

What do they call it

in your field of psychology again?

Psychological suggestion.

You're quite skilled

at putting theory into practice.

I'm serious.

Haven't you noticed?

Your luck has improved

ever since you started living with me.

Then why didn't you say anything

when I was having a rough time previously?

Well... Things did get better, didn't it?

Back then, I was even thinking

about moving out.

I'm heading out for a while.

So, he's not

telling you the truth either?

That's not it.

Moving houses

is troublesome,

and for the past two days

he's been working on his script.

He just doesn't want to move.

Believe it or not,

once he's done with the script,

he will come up with more excuses.

He just doesn't want to move.

He can decide

where he wants to live.

Why should we force him?

It's not the same, Yuan Yuan.

If he moves here,

he can avoid other distractions

and focus on writing his script.

It's like when he was assigned

to the production team

to write his script.

He can focus without distractions.

If he stays over there,

his current female housemate

might turn into a friend

and then his girlfriend.

Just thinking about it makes me worried.

I'm really anxious right now.

Why are you anxious?

Isn't everything

developing in a positive direction?

What's good about it?

Why do you have such a big heart?

I'm telling you,

I've been having dreams lately

about the filming for Pursuit.

I also received the money today.

I browsed online

and picked out some clothes for you

to wear when you start shooting.

See if there's anything you like.

Wait.

What money are you talking about?

The money for the Pursuit project.

Didn't that producer

run off with the money before?

Mr. Cao made us

sign a supplementary agreement.

He compensated us with over 400,000.

Forty...

Hold up.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

I went to meet Shanshan today, didn't I?

I planned to come back and tell you.

Next time, for matters like this,

you need to tell me right away.

Even just by sending a WeChat message.

Mr. Cao's money

came just in time

to resolve our urgent problem.

Otherwise, Shanshan's hard work

would have been in vain.

I wouldn't even know

how to explain it to him.

Do you prefer jackets or trench coats?

Why did you transfer the money?

Yes.

I spent it.

You spent it?

I paid off

the loan for my car.

Are you insane, Jia Zhen?

This feeling right now is amazing.

I finally don't owe the bank anymore.

This feeling is like

I've just bought

a new car again.

I'm finally debt-free.

Feels so light and carefree.

There's

Shanshan's payment is in there.

I know.

You don't have to

look at me so seriously.

Regarding Shanshan's payment,

we'll give him

when the next payment comes in.

He will get his pay.

Yuan Yuan.

Do you know how I feel every day

driving that car I bought on loan?

What kind of mood am I in

when I'm driving on the road?

I always feel like this car

doesn't truly belong to me.

It's a car I rented.

It seriously affects

my mood.

When I'm negotiating with someone,

I easily say the wrong things

or make mistakes.

Between this

and Shanshan's payment,

which one is more important?

Isn't that right?

Take a seat.

You need to have confidence, Yuan Yuan,

and you need to stay firm.

Let me tell you, Yuan Yuan.

From the moment

the money arrives,

our studio

will be different.

Right now, I'm feeling

very good.

What did you just ask me?

Jackets and what else?

Buy them all.

As for me,

right now, I have to

go out and drive around

in my own car.

I'll take a spin around the highways.

Bro,

the delivery will take over an hour

to arrive.

How about we go out and eat?

It's here.

Here, let me serve you the rice.

Bro, can't you be more observant?

Which restaurant

delivers in plates?

You're right.

So...

Did he cook it?

Mr. Snail is amazing.

Shan,

thanks.

The dishes are well cooked. Let's eat.

Shan.

Don't disturb him.

He's still writing.

Let's eat.

Alright. Let's not disturb him.

Anyway,

when will you start

taking care of me?

Am I not caring enough for you?

Is his food good?

It's alright.

This one's a little salty.

Have more of this.

Is this enough?

A bit more.

When you eat my food,

I never see you eat this much.

Give me some more.

More?

I'll give you this one.

I'll give this whole thing to you.

You eat quite a lot.

I'm just hungry.

This dish goes well with rice.

It's really salty.

Is this one good?

Yes.

This one is also good.

This one is fine too.

Have more of this one.

Xia.

Do you want soup?

I'll get you a bowl.

Sure, sure.

Bro,

his shredded potato tastes better than yours.

Look at how thin it is.

That's enough.

He's far behind me.

Xia.

Can I ask you a question?

Go ahead.

Why do we

speak like this?

That's something you should answer.

You told me to speak quietly,

so I did.

Not to that extent.

He wears earphones while writing.

When you say "speak quietly,"

I don't dare to speak at all.

Where is the bowl?

There.

Is he like this every day?

Like what?

He works day and night.

It's tough.

Is this enough?

Try it.

Okay.

The film editing this time

is really giving me a headache.

How did he happen to make exactly

the flavors I like?

When have I ever made

something not up to your alley?

I can't believe you.

Don't forget all

my credit

after you have this meal.

Is someone jealous right now?

(The food tastes really good.)

(Thanks, Screenwriter Qi.)

(The food tastes really good. Thanks, Screenwriter Qi.)

(You're welcome.)

(Have some more,)

(and give me more valuable suggestions.)

I'm full.

You can take your time eating.

Eat more.

I'm full. That's enough.

If he sees so much leftover food later,

he won't feel great.

I...

I've already shown enough support.

I can't eat anymore.

I cut some fruit for you.

Thank you.

What are you writing?

Is it that

relatable campus

love story?

Actually, I've always been curious.

Can I take a look

at how you write?

Sure.

(Trigonometric functions)

Jia Yaonan.

How dare you come back?

Didn't you drop out?

Qiang.

He said tonight,

he's bringing people to hurt Nana.

What did you say?

(Teaching Affair Office)

Xiaoyou.

What happened?

When they went to find Qiang,

someone reported to the school authorities.

Everyone received disciplinary action.

What about Gu Xuyang?

I'm asking about Gu Xuyang.

He got expelled.

(Actually, it's not Ye Chen's fault.)

(He kept standing up for Gu Xuyang)

(and explained a lot to the teachers.)

(But those troublemakers)

(persistently targeted Gu Xuyang.)

Thank you.

Why is it Ye Chen?

I don't know either.

The client wants this kind of ending.

This ending

feels a bit strange.

Strange, isn't it?

It's what the client wants.

So what can we do?

But I wrote

another outcome.

Do you want to see it?

(Version 2: The End)

I'm asking about Gu Xuyang.

He got expelled.

Nana.

(Teaching Affair Office)

Gu Xuyang!

♪Perhaps apologies were unnecessary for the past♪

♪Perhaps because a heart drenched in rain♪

♪Wishes to hold an umbrella for you♪

♪To warm every regret♪

Gu Xuyang.

It's okay.

I'm going back first.

♪Time will always bid us farewell♪

♪Your gaze strengthens my resolve♪

♪Embracing every imperfect regret♪

♪Every day from now on♪

♪I'll accompany you by your side♪

♪Reconciling with our regrets♪

♪Awaiting the next dawn♪

♪Whether it brings sunshine or rain♪

♪The night brims with emotions♪

♪Passing through your world♪

♪How I yearn for thoughts of you♪

♪Everything intertwines with me♪

But this also can't

be considered an ending.

Did Gu Xuyang and Nana

meet again later?

I've tried my best

according to the client's request.

From the beginning,

I didn't want to take on this project.

It was Jia Zhen who forced me to take it.

I sit here every day,

feeling like I'm writing in an ancient language.

I have another script,

and I think it's pretty good.

I wrote it well too.

Do you want to take a look?

Sure.

Look at this!

What is this about?

It's a serial murder case

about police and criminals.

Is it the one you mentioned before,

the one you were in the kitchen

talking about dismembering a body?

Do you remember?

Well, maybe I won't read it for now.

It's late at night,

I'm afraid I'll have nightmares.

Have some fruit.

I'm leaving now.

By the way,

maybe try to

dismember the body inside the room.

Don't do it outside.

I'll get scared watching you.

I'm leaving now.

When did you

become so timid?

Mom.

How do you feel?

Do you feel uncomfortable?

Why are your hands so cold?

What are you doing?

Stay away from me!

You bad person!

Mom, Mom!

Stay away from me!

Mom!

Stay away from me!

Mom!

Stay away from me!

Mom!

Stay away from me!

You...

Mom!

Go away!

Mom!

You...

Bad person, get away from me!

Get away from me!

Mom!

Go away!

Mom!

Leave me alone!

Mom, Mom!

Mom!

Chenchen is here.

Chenchen is here.

It's okay, it's okay.

Mom!

Your son is here.

Your son is here.

Your son is here.

Chenchen is here.

No one can harm you.

No one can harm you, Mom.

Your son is here.

Your son is always here.

Your son is always by your side.

No one will harm you.

I won't let anyone harm you.

Mom.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay now, Mom.

Your mother's condition

has become very serious.

Now, besides using medication to control it,

all you can do

is spend as much time together as possible.

There is no other thing

or better solution for now.

Xia, about this matter,

you should still take my advice.

Relax.

Relax.

That's how people are nowadays.

What can people do

when things don't go well in life?

They can only vent online.

Right?

They don't care about the truth.

They just lash out.

It makes them feel better.

These people

have psychological issues.

Let's not stoop to their level.

Lian Jingyun,

these people clearly

are scheming and purposive.

They're not at all like what you said.

Come on, tell me.

What schemes?

What purposes?

I can't be bothered to tell you.

You're talking as if you witnessed it yourself.

Stop assuming the worst in people.

I've said it before.

This is a social issue,

and a psychological issue.

Our purpose in doing this program

is to bring warmth to these people,

to heal them,

right, Xia?

And besides,

the ultimate goal

of our program

is to make these people

awaken from their ignorance,

and to find their way back.

Lian Jingyun.

I've realized that you're truly

incredibly foolish.

Even a pig wouldn't come up with

the kind of argument you just made.

Who are you directing

your baseless accusations at?

How dare you come at me with a knife?

Look, he's pointing a knife at me!

What did I say to deserve your insults?

Do I deserve

to be baselessly accused like this?

Enough!

Can you consider that I'm here?

Aren't I the one facing the most difficulties now?

Alright.

Just have some fruit.

Everyone, stop talking.

I don't want to eat.

But he came at me with a knife.

Bro.

Then tell me,

what should I do now?

Can we continue this show?

Of course, we can continue.

Who said we couldn't continue?

The more difficult the situation,

the more we should speed up.

Think about it,

if we produce the show,

and the first episode airs,

we'll make a sensational debut.

Will those people

cause trouble again?

No, what are you afraid of?

You have me, don't you?

Even if the sky falls, I will handle it.

You just focus on your expertise.

And also,

don't listen to gossip

from certain people.

Who are you talking about, Lian Jingyun?

All of us know who I'm talking about.

Who?

Let's eat.

I don't even bother to talk to him.

Mr. Jia.

How about we...

Sure.

I think

everyone looks

too tired already.

Alright, then.

The artiste team just called

to say they just landed.

It might take some time for them to arrive.

Then let's wait a bit longer.

Alright. Let's wait a little.

Okay.

Let's meet them first.

Alright.

Good job.

They're here.

There they are.

Let me introduce you to these two.

These two are our

screenwriters for Pursuit.

Mr. Jia and Mr. Qi.

Hello, hello.

I've read the script.

It's really good.

I'll play Luo Cheng.

What do you think?

Pretty good.

Luo Cheng is a great character.

I really like him too.

They are all suitable.

What about

let's talk in the conference room?

- Okay. - Let's get some food and drinks too.

Sounds good, sounds good.

Thank you so much.

Here, please.

Okay, okay.

You can sit first.

Bro, bro, bro.

What's wrong?

We shook hands, we shook hands.

Can you not act so naive?

- I am naive. - Don't mess around.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

(Twinkle, twinkle, little star.)

Mommy.

(Mommy.)

Look at this. It's so much fun.

Mommy, I love you.

(Mommy, I love you.)

Why do you treat me like this?

Why do you treat me like this?

Why don't you say it?

I can't breathe.

Madam, please calm down.

Why do you treat me like this?

Why do you treat me like this?

Tell me.

You tell me.

You!

Lock her up!

Take her away.

Why do you treat me like this?

Bring it out, bring it out to eat.

Bro, bro.

The room is full of smells. Hurry up.

Bro.

Is this real or fake?

You didn't lie to me, did you?

What's real or fake?

When have I ever lied to you?

It's so cold outside.

Why did we come out?

It smells. Didn't I tell you?

We won't be able to get rid of

the smell even after two days.

Let me tell you, Shanshan,

your efforts

will never be in vain.

The client really likes this story.

Of course, there are a few

small things to change in the beginning,

but that's not a problem.

You can fix it quickly.

I told you, didn't I?

That was such a prophecy.

Bro.

That's called words of wisdom.

Are you correcting my mistake?

No, no.

Whatever you say is right.

That's right.

As long as the meaning is correct.

Opportunity...

I don't eat this.

Okay, give it to me.

Here, I want it too.

I'll give you two.

Opportunities are always reserved

for those who are prepared.

You have to seize it, okay?

In the future, when we succeed,

I'm telling you, we...

Bro, I know.

You've told me before

that once we succeed,

you won't be you,

and I won't be me anymore.

Wrong.

You are still you, and I am still me.

But we

are no longer "us."

Did you see Mr. Cao's company today?

Now, that's what you call a company.

So impressive.

As for us...

Of course.

It's not too bad either.

It's considered okay.

But it's definitely worse than his.

Right?

No, bro.

You can't let their success

dampen our spirits.

What's wrong with us?

We have everything here.

Look outside.

It's so well done.

What are we lacking?

Look at your lack of ambition.

Just look at you.

You didn't go in today.

Yuan Yuan.

You didn't see Mr. Cao's office today.

Every decoration in his office

is carefully selected.

When I step in there,

I feel refreshed and energized.

I feel like everything I smell

is the smell of success.

Why does it smell so bad?

You put too many bamboo shoots in it.

I don't want that much.

Bro, what kind of smell

is the smell of success?

Can you explain it in detail?

It's that kind of smell that

once you smell it,

you feel...

Just try to understand, okay?

Shanshan.

Do you remember

one year on Jianguo Road,

I told you something

sincerely at that time?

Do you remember?

What did you say?

Look at you.

You always remember those useless things.

You never remember the important ones.

I said at that time

that being a screenwriter is just our stepping stone.

One day,

we will become producers,

and even executive producers.

We will become big bosses.

We will trample

all these people under our feet.

We will go trample them

like how they trample us now.

Bro.

I wish your dream comes true soon.

Is this not your dream?

I know.

Shanshan's dream

is to become a great screenwriter.

Well, you see.

When we succeed in the future,

we'll be big bosses and

big producers.

We have here

Miss Yuan Yuan,

the famous producer.

We can't mistreat you, right?

What about this?

Let's go

and get a big villa by the seaside

with temperature,

humidity, and oxygen-controlled 24/7.

And then

as soon as you push open the company door,

you will see the sea.

All the employees

have to wear bikinis.

That's our company culture.

Get excited, everyone.

Writing scripts in that environment

must be full of inspiration.

It sounds warm.

In such an environment,

you're still thinking about writing scripts?

I was just thinking.

Just thinking about it makes me happy too.

Okay.

The happy stuff is over now.

Let's talk about something important.

For episodes one to fifteen,

you have to go over the script

from start to finish.

Is that okay?

There can't be any mistakes, okay?

Alright.

You review it again later.

Don't let him make any mistakes, okay?

This is really important.

Don't worry, bro.

Got it.

Next Monday,

which is in seven days,

we only have this one week.

I need to meet with the platform people

and the client's boss.

Next Monday,

I'm going to the compound.

You can't let me down.

Alright?

Mr. Qi Lianshan,

please, please.

Bro.

I can handle it.

Don't worry.

Here, cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

- Cheers. - I'll finish it up first.

Go ahead.

Bro.

I thought you can't swim.

So what if I can't swim?

You can teach me, can't you?

I won't teach you.

Just hold onto me.

I can swim.

If I hold you,

both of us will sink.

Bro.

You still haven't learned to swim by now?

Is it embarrassing?

Not at all.

It's only about 400 yuan?

Why is everything

about money?

It's ration liquor.

Here, take a sip.

What is ration liquor?

You're never heard of it?

No.

This and those expensive liquor

are all contained in the same jar.

Only the glass bottles are different.

Those expensive ones come with an appearance.

They're used for entertaining guests.

We drink this among ourselves.

The content is exactly the same.

Here, take a sip.

How is it?

Oh my god, it's really spicy.

Is it spicy?

How good can your liquor

of around 400 yuan taste?

Where's that girl

in your studio?

Which one?

Yuan Yuan?

She went to look for my brother.

I've noticed you're quite interesting.

You like messing around

with the younger ones.

Shameless.

Buddy.

I have something

to ask you.

Go ahead.

About Pursuit,

that producer from before,

I don't know how he managed

to sell the project to Mr. Cao.

He took the money and ran.

I'm not feeling

secure right now.

On one hand,

I don't know

Mr. Cao's thoughts

about this project.

On the other hand,

do you think a big company like Huan Hui

is reliable or not?

As for Mr. Cao,

is he easy to approach or not?

Huan Hui.

Huan Hui.

Why not answer your phone first?

Pick it up. It's fine.

It's fine.

This liquor is a bit spicy.

Can you add some ice cubes?

You are such a hassle.

Okay, I'll get you some ice cubes.

Bro.

Don't rush me.

He just mentioned it to me.

Don't worry.

You...

I will slowly infiltrate, bro.

Really.

Okay.

I'll call you back later,

Bro.

Goodbye.

Here.

Is it okay?

I tasted it, it's pretty good.

Right?

Where was I?

Pursuit.

I...

I just came up with an idea for you.

Price manipulation.

Manipulate what price?

Huan Hui

is a big company.

But there are many companies

similar in size.

By the time,

if I spread the information

about Pursuit,

and then relay the message

back to Mr. Cao,

then you can negotiate easily.

Rising tide lifts all boats.

Isn't that raising the price without any effort?

Buddy.

The money goes into your pocket, right?

Yes, I know.

But our small studio

is collaborating with Huan Hui, a big company.

I don't want to leave a bad impression.

I don't want people to think

I have character issues.

Let me tell you,

once money is in your pocket,

please treat yourself to good liquor.

Get some good food.

You'll have plenty of friends.

When you have money, you'll have friends.

Having money makes your character good.

Of course.

You can't trick me, okay?

I won't trick you. I won't.

A brethren

will always be honest, and loyal.

What does that mean?

Screenwriter,

please read more books,

okay?

You're a good screenwriter,

but if you really want to mingle around,

you have to listen to me more.

Okay.

About Pursuit,

you should exchange ideas more with me.

No problem.

I'll seek approval and report back, alright?

Hurry up and finish it, quickly.

Give me a little more.

Finish drinking it.

Bottoms up.

It's better to write this one.

Luo Cheng, I'm here.

(City, Bar, Gunfight)

This matter

has already caused

extremely negative consequences.

The police station's phone

has been ringing off the hook.

Gunfights in the city, and in bars.

Do you think this is a movie?

Director Zhou.

Miss Gu.

Don't come here!

Stay away!

This is really a hospital.

Miss Gu.

I said I don't want an injection.

Be careful.

We won't harm you.

This is really a hospital.

I said I don't want an injection.

Be careful.

We won't harm you.

Okay.

No injection, no injection.

Don't come near.

Put down what you have in your hands.

This is really a hospital.

Miss Gu, calm down.

Calm down.

Officer Luo.

Officer Luo.

Is it you?

It's me.

You don't need to be nervous.

You're currently in

the hospital ward.

You're very safe here.

Officer Luo.

I can't see anything.

I'm so scared.

You don't have to be afraid.

You're in the hospital now.

There are police outside.

We'll protect you.

Don't be nervous.

Here.

Give me this.

Officer Luo.

Will my eyes be able to recover?

They will recover.

Don't worry.

Okay.

She can't see.

It's so pitiful.

Here.

Have a glass of warm water.

Thank you.

Miss Gu.

I know it's not appropriate

to ask you at this time.

But now, including you,

there have been four victims.

Three people have already been killed,

and you were almost a victim too.

We can't let the killer

continue like this.

So,

I need your cooperation.

I will definitely cooperate as much as I can.

I don't want

anyone else to get hurt again.

Then I'll start recording.

Okay.

Do you know who

kidnapped you?

I don't know them.

Have you had any conflicts

or disputes with anyone before?

I haven't had any conflicts with anyone.

Those kidnappers

knew that

I witnessed the crime scene.

They had been asking me

who the killer is.

Can you tell me

what happened at the crime scene

on the night of the incident?

It was January 25th.

A Friday.

There were many customers in the shop.

So I finished work

later than usual.

When I left the tavern,

it was already past 11:00 PM.

It was raining heavily outside.

(Enter and get rich)

I don't know if it was my imagination

or what.

I felt that those two people talking

sounded similar,

but I couldn't exactly hear

what they were saying.

The rain was too heavy that day.

What I heard were just

intermittent sounds.

I've said it before,

this matter will be exposed.

Let's see how you handle it.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have come to this.

Now you blame me?

What should we do?

You should be the one thinking

instead of coming to me for answers.

Think it again.

Are there any other overlooked details?

(Are there any other overlooked details?)

Think it again.

Are there any other

overlooked details?

Anything can help.

Such as light, scent and sound.

It was raining heavily that day.

The air was damp,

and there was a smell of blood.

The adjacent ballroom

seemed to be hosting some kind of dance.

The sound was loud.

The floor was wet.

There was blood in the water.

And that lamppost

reflected in the water.

And also...

What did you think of it?

I saw two shadows.

Two shadows?

At that time, the victim

was already lying on the ground.

But I saw two shadows.

Are you saying

that at the crime scene,

there was another person?

I'm not sure.

It was raining heavily that day.

But I'm quite certain

that at that moment,

I saw two shadows.

So if

I were to let you

hear the killer's voice again,

can you recognize it?

I can.
