=Episode 39=

This money and car

are compensation for you.

I've always been clear about one's merits and demerits.

You helped me,

so naturally, I will thank you.

That being said,

you've already succeeded in getting Liu Xia?

The demon has long been in her heart.

It will slowly consume her until there's nothing left.

What's wrong, my dear?

Ranran.

I feel like I may not be able to control my illness anymore.

I can't be with Qi Lianshan anymore.

I don't know how much longer will it take for me to move on.

I can't hold him back anymore.

I'm sorry.

I'm so scared.

I don't want to lose him.

(Hong Leong Plaza)

Mr. Jia.

First of all, I want to apologize to you

for all the disrespect I showed you before.

Don't worry about it.

Since I'm a few years older than you,

I won't dwell on such trivial matters.

Let's skip the small talk,

and talk about our future cooperation.

I apologize to you because I underestimated a certain emotion.

When Qi Lianshan told me that he was willing to write "Twilight" well,

and give you the credit and royalties,

I have nothing to say to you anymore.

I respect his choice and him.

You're lucky to have someone like him.

(Scriptwriting Commission Agreement) I've already drafted the contract.

The screenwriter's credit, the screenwriter's royalties,

the producer's credit, and all the profit share will go to you.

Sign it and take a copy.

That's all you need to do.

- Stay there! - Get down from there!

(Prosper Like a Tree) Don't get near me!

Get down!

Let go of me.

Get down.

Let go of me.

What are you two doing?

Bro!

Look. I caught a thief!

What thief?

She's the thief.

I was sleeping here just now, and when I opened my eyes,

I saw her going through your things.

She was looking our contracts!

Let go of her first.

Shanshan.

Let go first.

Let go, and I'll explain.

Let go first.

Look.

Jia Zhen.

This man is crazy.

Just now, he took out his phone, wanting to report me to the authorities.

He scared me.

He's crazy.

Um, let me introduce you.

Shanshan.

He's the screenwriter I just hired.

He's amazing and incredibly talented.

This is Yuan Yuan.

She's my junior.

From now on, we are a team.

Shanshan.

Yuan Yuan will be

the Vice President of our studio, Prosperous Films and Media.

Silly little brother.

Go home and sleep.

There is something wrong with your brain.

I can't go back.

Jia Zhen needs me.

Immersive writing.

That's how he revises scripts.

Get us two cups of coffee.

Go away.

What are you writing?

I want to see it too.

Maybe I should get the coffee.

No need, brother.

You go.

Go pour the coffee.

I want to see what you've written.

What?

Bro.

I suddenly had an idea.

I want to kill off the female character just now.

Which one?

Yuan Yuan.

I'll go pour the coffee.

We all want it iced!

She's left.

Shall we sit more comfortably?

It's fine, brother.

I'm feeling it now.

Are you comfortable?

Alright, as long as you're comfortable.

Jia Zhen, here's your coffee.

No sugar.

What about mine?

Don't fight.

Alright, you drink first.

Have it.

He's writing so well.

Slow down.

Drink, brother.

Drink it.

Actually, there are more cups in our studio.

It's not just this one cup.

Why not make more?

No, I don't want to.

Bro, I want to make her death even more tragic in the story.

Yuan Yuan.

Don't play.

We're working here.

Look, he's writing something great.

Yuan Yuan, take a look.

What do you think?

You registered the copyright for Shanshan's new project?

Jia Zhen, what are you thinking?

Lately, whenever Shanshan reaches out to you, you avoid him,

or you just brush him off.

What exactly are you thinking?

Give Qi Lianshan a call and tell him that

I registered the copyright for "Twilight".

It's no longer his project.

From now on, it's ours.

We're a family.

Shanshan is your brother!

We're doing better and better now.

Why do you have to do this?

Who is doing better?

You, or is it me?

No, it's Qi Lianshan who's doing better!

He's the one whose career gets better.

Who is he?

He's just a ghostwriter I hired!

And now?

He's a literary director!

Screenwriter Qi!

Why is he doing well?

Let me tell you, Yuan Yuan.

Yes, I'm jealous of him!

I can't stand him being better than me!

Since when did he become superior to me?

You said we're a family!

He's your brother!

After all these things, do you think we'll still see him?

Why would I keep someone like him around?

I have plenty of other friends now!

He's nothing to me!

Now that the situation has escalated to this point,

I take some responsibility for it.

Jia Zhen.

Your cruelty toward Shanshan...

Will it be used against me in the future too?

This was the first gift you gave me when I joined the studio.

It says sample on it.

I willingly entered into this game,

and I lost.

Maybe I was wrong.

It took me a decade to see who you really are.

Or perhaps it was you who transformed into someone else over these ten years.

Of course, you wouldn't remember.

Hey, you're awake.

Breakfast is ready.

Qi Lianshan.

Don't just stand there.

Hurry up.

Come over.

Liu Xia.

Actually, I want to take this opportunity to apologize to you.

Apologize to me?

Shouldn't it be me apologizing to you?

I didn't understand the situation before,

and kept asking you all sorts of questions.

It's my fault.

But now I've known everything.

I talked to Miss Wan.

She told me about your situation.

So, if you want to say something, just go ahead.

I can be your listener anytime.

I know it's difficult to recover from this.

Miss Wan also told me.

But didn't some people recover from it?

So let's take it slow.

No need to rush.

Let's work it out, okay?

I'll serve some rice for you.

Yang Youli deceived you... Don't blame yourself too much.

The law will punish him for his mistakes.

Liu Xia is in a very bad state right now.

She entrusted you to me to treat you.

How is Miss Liu Xia doing now?

Is she okay?

Whether she can move on depends on herself.

The same goes for you.

It's all my fault.

Don't cry.

She won't blame you.

What's your name?

Tiantian.

Okay.

How old are you?

Six years old.

Here, I'll give you the ball.

You're so pretty.

Here's a lollipop for you.

Thank you, mister.

Go and play now.

There's a tiger on the mountain.

There's a hunter down the hill.

The little girl is so cute.

Yes, she is.

Little doggy.

What are you doing here?

Are you hurt?

Don't be afraid.

I won't harm you.

Look.

There's also a little bunny here.

Let me sing you a song.

Go to sleep.

My dear baby.

Go to sleep.

Let me go.

Let me go.

Thank you.

Mr. Feng.

Sweetie.

How old are you?

Ouch.

Let go.

You let go.

Let me go!

Mr. Feng.

Isn't this child a bit too old?

Luo Cheng!

Here you are.

Why?

Why what?

You found the evidence of their crimes.

Why didn't you turn in the evidence?

At first,

I wanted to turn in the evidence.

But there's a voice inside me telling me

that I can't.

No.

Your daughter would never know

that her father became a murderer one day.

No child wants to see their father become a murderer!

All of that doesn't matter anymore.

You've been asking me why I always wear gloves.

Daddy!

Tiantian was afraid of the dark since little.

Every night when she went to sleep,

her mother has to accompany her and comfort her.

Therefore, the prince chooses her as his wife,

because he knows he has found a true princess.

The pea is then sent to a museum.

If no one had taken it away,

people could have still seen it there today.

The end.

Can we go to sleep now?

Daddy.

Don't turn off the lights. I'm afraid of the dark.

Alright.

We won't turn off the lights.

Can you close your eyes and sleep?

Daddy.

You will protect me, right?

Yes, of course.

Daddy will always protect you.

When you need Daddy, just call out loud for Daddy.

Daddy will appear in front of you right away.

Alright, go to sleep.

You have to wake up early tomorrow.

Do you have to leave tonight?

They're going out of town to capture a criminal.

I don't feel at ease if I don't go with them.

Take care of yourself and the child.

When have I ever let you worry about me?

Alright.

Hurry up and go.

Take care and stay safe.

Go on then.

Can you imagine how much Tiantian wanted to come out?

I can now understand how helpless she must be back then.

Can you understand?

Daddy.

Daddy.

Daddy.

At that time, she must have been wondering where Daddy was.

Why wasn't Daddy going to rescue her?

Indeed.

Why couldn't I save her?

Right.

Weren't you searching for the truth?

The truth is right in front of you now.

I am the murderer you've been looking for.

Perhaps only when your loved one dies in front of you,

will you understand the pain in my heart!

(Actually, Jia Zhen hasn't read Qi Lianshan's script for a long time.)

(Putting away the script, )

(he wants to call and ask Qi Lianshan)

(who fired the shot in the end.)

(Jia Zhen knows that in real life, )

(it was he who fired the shot.)

(He wants to know whether Qi Lianshan resents him.)

I already made it clear that the content is the priority.

There's no problem focusing on the content.

But the contract explicitly states

that each episode must have no less than 40 scenes,

and no less than 14,000 words.

Look.

Your Episode 3 is still over a 1,000 words short.

(Prosperous Like a Tree) How can I submit it like this?

If you want me to write the additional 1,000 words,

they'll all be filler scenes.

What's the point?

Don't write filler scenes then.

Write another scene seriously.

Didn't I say it already?

If I write further, they'll turn into filler scenes and affect the pacing.

This version has the best pacing.

The male lead has quite a temper.

Shanshan.

When we submit these scripts, it's the image of our entire team.

Can't you consider that for us?

Don't always write about your male lead.

Give more scenes to your other roles too.

Hey, listen to me!

Alright.

Stop arguing.

Come.

Look.

Just a moment ago, when I saw you two arguing,

my heart was incredibly warm.

I immediately thought of that moment of inspiration,

when I wrote down these four characters.

Prosper like a tree.

I feel that in the midst of it all, it's a kind of destiny.

Now, I finally have a team too.

Right?

Come.

Shanshan, give me your hand.

Hand?

Let's close our eyes together, and feel this moment.

The power from a team.

Follow me.

Be in the character.

I love you all.

I love you too.

Love you too, bro.

Shanshan.

This is the birthday gift that I had prepared for you.

It's called Dual Purpose.

Here is the reason.

Take a look.

This is a pen.

Since you enjoy writing and taking notes, I bought you a good pen.

And on other hand...

It's a voice recorder.

Look.

When someone speaks fast, and you can't write it down in time,

you can use this voice recorder.

Just press the button, and it will record it.

Thank you, bro.

No problem.

Let's cut the cake for everyone.

The fork. Give it to the birthday boy.

Birthday boy, use this to cut it.

Alright.

They're here today specifically to celebrate your birthday.

Alright.

I'll... Just make the first cut.

Okay.

Let me tell you.

Qi Lianshan is really kind.

He's very talented.

For smaller projects, I don't even bother to ask him.

Done.

Good.

Just the first cut.

Take this.

I'll cut the cake.

Yes.

Let's divide the cake.

Let's divide it up.

I'll do it.

So, do you like it?

Of course, I love it.

Shanshan.

From now on, I'll always be there for your birthday.

Thank you, bro.

(Jia Zhen feels ashamed of himself.)

(He deceives his best friend to achieve his goals.)

(In the end, he ends up with nothing.)

Got it.

Shanshan's dream is to become a great screenwriter.

You see.

Once we become successful, I'll be a big boss, a big producer.

And Miss Yuan Yuan will be a renowned executive producer.

We won't mistreat you, right?

At that time, let's get a big villa by the seaside as our company.

It'll have constant indoor temperature, humidity, and oxygen.

And it's the type in which you push open the doors and see the sea.

Bro.

Count on me.

I'll make it happen.

Let's toast.

Sure.

Cheers.

Cheers!

I'll go first.

You go first.

Bro.

Don't you know how to swim?

So what?

You can teach me.

I won't teach you.

Just hold on to me.

(Memories of the past vividly come to his mind, )

(even though the pain is now gone.)

(Everyone is responsible for their own lives.)

(Jia Zhen ultimately lacked the courage to call Qi Lianshan again.)

(Without saying goodbye, )

(they left each other's lives.)

(Script)

Over here.

Why are we eating hot pot?

I just washed my hair.

You forgot?

Back then, you became my disciple here.

Our story also began here.

We should finish where we started, right?

So the same goes for a relationship.

By the way, actually,

I heard what you said that day.

I felt quite ashamed.

I even wished to find a hole to hide in.

Later, I told everyone that I went out to explore opportunities.

But in reality, I started driving for a ride-hailing company.

So you never left Su City?

No, I did.

I went to Guangzhou later.

I worked in animation with a classmate.

You know I like reading manga, right?

You always scolded me for it.

Anyway, after all these years, I finally found my strength.

Anyway, my current state is like...

How should I put it?

It's like a dragon plunges into the sea, soaring freely.

You still have that habit of bragging.

Well, it's not that easy to change.

That's just how people are.

Just like loving someone.

It won't change after three years, five years, or perhaps even a decade.

And I'm a bit stubborn,

sometimes to the point of being foolish.

Jin Ran, to be honest.

Actually,

deep down, I know I'm not worthy of you.

Really.

I feel like I'm not good enough,

so sometimes I get worked up in front of you.

It's all a sign of inferiority.

I lack confidence.

And also,

we were impulsive when we got married,

so I never really prepared myself for how to be a husband,

and how to take responsibility for a family.

So I...

Let's not talk about it. Eat first.

Let me finish, okay?

At least, our break-up shouldn't end hastily like last time.

During this time, I really pondered about it for a long time.

I reflected on it.

I have to admit that I did some things that were really wrong.

I'm sorry.

Slow down.

Marriage is a shared responsibility between the two.

It can't be just one person's fault.

I was at fault too.

When I took you to get married back then,

actually, looking back now,

I made a hasty decision too.

I just thought if two people get along well, they should get married.

But the truth is, no one really knows what marriage is.

Well, I mean, if...

If we both know now,

would you still accept me?

Would you give me another chance?

Would you marry me again?

Marry him!

- Marry him! - Marry him!

Marry him!

Marry him!

Yes, marry him!

Say yes!

I don't want to.

Listen, I...

I don't want to get married.

But, as for dating, I can give it a thought.
