A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

GOOD ENTERTAINMENT GOOD NEWS

He is your husband today, and mine tomorrow.

Xu Yi-Hang is now called "the Nation's Husband."

He has become hugely popular.

Now that he's in love with the Triad Princess,

he might dump his actress girlfriend.

With the Triad Princess next to him,

Yi-Hang's daily affairs are well in order.

His fans are devastated by the news.

Lin Gui!

Boss! What's wrong?

What is going on?

Boss, I don't know.

This...

is beyond me.

I'm the boss of a triad,

but I still lost to a paparazzi.

I have to read a magazine to know where my daughter is?

You are all useless!

Calm down, boss.

I know what to do!

-Calm down, sir. -I'll see what you can do!

SCENE 50 - THE PARKING LOT

Why are you here?

Yi-Hang?

Yi-Hang?

Xu Yi-Hang?

Where is he?

I don't know.

Hey...

who are you guys?

And where are you taking me?

Mr. Xu,

you'll find out soon enough.

Boss, I've brought the fella.

Bring him over.

Now you know who I am.

Let's go.

Do you know who I am?

I don't know.

I am Ni Kun...

boss of the Cosmos gang and...

Angie Ni...

is my daughter.

-Uncle. -Don't call me that!

Call me Boss Ni.

Boss Ni.

How dare you mess with Angie.

You already have a famous girlfriend...

XU YI-HANG CHEATS ON LING YUN

...yet you mess around with my daughter,

making people think she's a mistress.

Boss Ni.

Boss Ni,

Angie is my only girlfriend.

Just her.

Let me explain.

The actress who is known as my girlfriend,

Ling Yun...

It's just fake news.

We were never really together.

But I'm serious about Angie.

Actually, I feel relieved that the paparazzi published it.

What?

Boss Ni, look.

Now that the truth is out, I can do a press conference,

and reveal that my romance with Ling Yun was fake.

We were never together.

But I'm serious about Angie.

You want to do a press conference?

Yes.

To say that my daughter isn't a mistress.

Yes.

And that you are serious about her.

Boss Ni, please trust me.

I can gather the press in three hours.

If I lie to you, you can take my life.

I have plans for my daughter's other half, and expectations.

That's why we should call the press as soon as possible,

to minimize the damage for Angie.

I told you the rules on day one, you said you were fine with them. And then what?

I hired you to protect my artists,

not to destroy them!

Don't you know that Xu Yi-Hang is not just anybody?

Don't you know his every move is being watched?

Do you know how many people are waiting to take him down and take his place?

Once the news gets out, do you know what will happen?

His career will be over!

Do you want to ruin him?

Sophia,

I knew you wouldn't agree to it,

so before I came to the office...

I already informed the press.

What are you saying?

What have you done?

Do you have any idea how serious this is?

I know what I'm doing!

Fine.

Get on with it.

Sophia...

I've been a celebrity for over a decade, I know I'm lucky to have you as my agent.

You take care of us, and always have our best interests at heart.

But sometimes you make decisions

that we don't agree with.

Like the story about Ling Yun and me.

But we accepted it.

But fake stories have to come to an end eventually.

It has to end.

What I'm trying to say is...

after I met Angie...

what she has taught me has had an overwhelming impact on my life.

When I'm truly happy, it comes from the heart.

I laugh because I want to laugh.

I don't need to pretend.

Sophia,

I have really thought it through.

Even if you tell me the press conference will affect my work and my career,

I'm not afraid of that.

Ling Yun,

sorry I didn't talk to you first, I...

I hope you understand.

Yi-Hang, I understand.

I support your decision.

I'll back you up at the press conference.

TEXT FROM YI-HANG

ANGIE, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE NOW, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I AM SERIOUS ABOUT YOU. PLEASE BELIEVE ME.

Why are they taking so long?

They're here! They're here!

Hello. My apologies for the short notice for this press conference.

We're doing this because of the recent reports about Xu Yi-Hang.

We feel that we should clarify some things.

Yi-Hang, can you tell us -

what's your relationship with Ms. Ni, the girl in the photo?

She has spent nights with you. Are you dating?

Yi-Hang, are you breaking up officially?

Does Ling Yun feel cheated on?

Do you feel you've been cheated on? Has Yi-Hang apologized to you?

Excuse me. Calm down.

As for these questions you've asked,

Yi-Hang and Ling Yun will answer them personally, okay?

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Yi-Hang, who is the girl?

Does she belong to a triad?

Are you having an affair?

Are the three of you in a love triangle?

About the magazine story,

I want to clarify that...

Ms. Angie Ni and I...

We...

are not in a relationship.

The magazine shows you holding hands in the photo.

-You can't deny it. -He's been busted.

She's a new assistant at our firm.

They're just making up stories without verifying the facts.

Such accusations against our firm, against me,

against Ms. Angie Ni and her family,

have caused great pain and harm.

So I ask you all to please stop making speculations.

What about the picture of you...

BLACK WAR SCREENWRITER, XU YI-HANG

Angie Ni,

this is all your fault.

I'm working my ass off because of you.

What are you trying to do?

I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

What's with the backpack?

Running away after the mess you've made?

Before I go,

I need to ask you for a favor.

This is really important to Yi-Hang.

Can you take this to Sophia, please?

Are you all right?

You can call me if you want.

Call Angie.

ANGIE

Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.

-Please leave... -Call Angie.

Your call has been forwarded--

Before you make the stupid decision to have this stupid press conference,

and walk on that stupid stage,

take a look at this.

Even if you and Angie are in love,

you can't mitigate the criticism.

Once you reveal your love,

the media and internet will continue to attack Angie without mercy.

Put yourself in Angie's shoes.

Do you want Angie to take all the blame, or the paparazzi?

ANGIE

Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.

Please leave a message after the tone,

or to end the call, just hang up...

Hello, Dad.

Angie, you must be very sad.

I'm very worried about you.

Sorry.

I want to come home.

Hi.

It's been a while.

Angie Ni.

GOODBYE, MARTIAN

I think the sooner we hold the wedding the better.

My friends in Hong Kong are waiting for an invitation.

Chin, I do want them to get married soon...

but don't you think that maybe before the wedding,

we should let them go on a few dates first?

Kun, are you saying that they might not get along?

What are you talking about?

I think they will make a great couple.

But then again, young people these days have their own ideas.

That's not a problem.

If they have their own ideas,

let them organize all the wedding details.

We can just relax until we're sat at the head table.

Eddie, what do you think?

Uncle,

I respect Angie's opinion.

Angie, what do you say?

Angie...

I...

Whatever's fine.

Well, the two fathers will now retire and have a few drinks.

We'll leave you two alone.

Sure.

I have a 1968 Burgundy.

-Let's go have a taste. -Sure.

Does it bother you that me and my dad are staying here?

Not at all.

We like having guests.

Feel free to stay.

Is it because of Xu Yi-Hang's press conference?

If I'm being too direct, I'm really sorry.

I just want to tell you

that I really care about you.

As long as you're happy,

I'm happy.

Hey, Fatty Kim...

we haven't seen each other in years.

How come you don't seem

to feel awkward about this?

I'm the only one feeling awkward.

You shouldn't feel awkward.

I don't think we've changed much since we were kids.

You're just as adorable now.

To hell with adorable.

Don't use that word to describe me.

But you have changed a lot.

I shouldn't call you Fatty.

You can still call me that.

This nickname is reserved...

for you.

I LOVE YOU XU YI-HANG

Welcome.

-Reservation for Ms. Ni. -This way, please.

Have a seat.

Sophia.

-Oh, no need. I'll be leaving soon. -Okay.

I'm very busy.

I don't have time for coffee.

Just say what you need to say.

Sophia, I asked you here...

so I can tell you to your face...

that I'm sorry.

That's it?

I know that whatever I say

won't make up for the mistake I made.

I get it if you can't forgive me.

But please...

don't blame Yi-Hang for this.

You don't work for me anymore.

My company's business is none of your concern.

Sophia, can I tell you one more thing?

I'd like to tell you...

about the day my mom passed away.

The day she passed away...

my dad didn't see her.

My dad thought...

that he'd made a mistake.

A huge mistake.

Until one day,

he dreamed about my mom...

and my mom told him that...

it wasn't a mistake...

it was just a regret.

But I think that we can almost become

nostalgic over regrets.

What are you saying?

I'm trying to say...

your son passed away so many years ago.

It was neither your or your husband's fault.

It's a huge regret.

And the other day, I felt...

I could see that you still...

love your husband very much.

And he loves you too.

-So I hope you guys won't-- -Are you done?

Welcome.

XU YI-HANG SEEN MAKING OUT WITH TRIAD PRINCESS

-Hey, sir. You can't be here. -I know.

Are you rebuilding the park?

If that is being removed, will this be removed too?

That's right. We're removing everything.

Can the elephant stay?

Can you leave it here?

No way. We're renovating all of it.

Can you give me the number I need to call?

Then, I can offer to buy the elephant.

Hey, you seem like a nice guy.

Why cause us trouble?

I can buy it. I'll buy it.

Get out of here. Go!

I just want to keep the elephant.

Hey!

What's going on?

Officers, just in time.

This man here is obstructing our work.

He won't let us tear this down.

-I'm not-- -Why are--

Why are you disturbing them, Mr. Xu?

I'm not disturbing them.

They can keep working. I just want to keep the elephant. I can buy it.

I want to buy it.

Well, Mr. Xu. It's public property. It's not for sale.

I can try talking to them. I want to buy it.

Mr. Xu, don't be hot-headed.

Just go deal with your two girlfriends.

All right, he'll leave now.

Okay, that's all for now.

-What? -How can you attack the police?

-Calm down. -What...

I just want the elephant.

-Stop it! -What did you say?

Two girlfriends? What the...

Calm down!

You'll arrest me?

Arrest me.

-Calm down. -I like elephants. Is that a crime?

Did we come here when we were kids?

Yes.

It has changed a lot.

There's lots of good food around here.

Do you want to eat something?

I want a toy.

Let's play.

Yeah, that game.

It's an old game. It isn't fun.

It's more fun with fake guns.

One round.

-I'll play one round. -Okay.

Do you want the elephant?

I'll get it for you.

So you don't actually want to play?

I do.

But I want to get you the prize and make you happy.

I like getting what I want myself.

Here you go. Marble Soda.

Thanks.

Go get one yourself.

I got you. Just joking.

You only bought one drink.

Soda contains a lot of calories.

Being on a diet is torture.

I'm never doing it again.

Why are you doing this?

Since when do you care about how you look?

It's so weird.

Why is it weird?

I'm very serious about keeping my promise to you.

-What promise? -You don't remember?

You said I was fat and ugly when we were young,

and you'd only marry me if I lost weight.

I'm sorry.

Besides...

You were saying that we haven't been in touch for over a decade,

but I don't feel awkward being around you.

Because my feelings for you have stayed the same.

I haven't changed.

Here you go, Angie.

If I lose some weight, will you be my bride?

Sure.

So you are my girlfriend?

Then you should say I'm slim and pretty.

Delicious.

Sorry.

What the hell are you doing?

Sorry.

I don't want your apology, I want to know why.

Or is this your way of getting back at me?

You want another agent? Fine.

Sophia, of course not.

I'm grateful. I wouldn't be--

Enough! I know that you're grateful.

But...

you haven't been yourself lately.

That's because I really love Angie Ni.

Over the past decade, all we've ever talked about is work.

Have we forgotten what it feels like to be in love?

Are you out of your mind?

Where are the cameras?

-Are you acting in a drama? -Sophia.

When was the last time you were in love?

That's none of your business.

I can't handle it.

That's why I need the police.

What do you mean?

Otherwise, I'll just try to see Angie. I can't help myself.

I need the police to lock me up.

You... You're crazy!

Just get over it.

I heard that she is getting married.

Sir, what do you want?

I want to see Angie.

-Missy? -Yes.

Do you know what this place is?

I know. Let me in.

I suggest you leave right away.

I want to see Angie.

Knock it off. Get out of here.

-Angie Ni. -Sir, what are you doing?

-Angie Ni. -Knock it off.

Angie Ni.

You'll get yourself killed.

I'll get serious if you don't knock it off.

Report it.

Fuck.

Nice.

I'm almost done.

Let's go get some food.

We can go to your place or my place.

No can do.

Golden Dragon is staying over.

Our boss said we can't be out for more than 24 hours.

He said we need to show "high-class" hospitality to the in-laws.

So Angie's marrying Fatty Kim?

Don't talk nonsense.

Master Kim...

has a fine body

and a handsome face.

He is so charming...

even when he just strolls around.

Girls and boys who pass by him applaud.

Even I...

I didn't even look.

That's more like it.

What is Angie going to do now?

Oh.

She is going with her dad's arrangement.

I think...

on the one hand...

she is saving Boss Ni's face...

on the other hand...

she is really heartbroken.

Hey.

I'm really pissed.

It's all Xu's fault.

What an idiot!

Going on TV...

talking rubbish.

He's really out of his mind.

That's how showbiz works.

In fact, that's how society works.

-Oh. -Truth and lies.

Lies and truth.

If we forget Yi-Hang's celebrity status, I think he and Angie are a good match.

Just like us.

Yes.

And because of that, I got very emotional.

So I wrote a song

called "The Angel Loves the Elephant."

I liked you better before you met me

I miss myself The person I was

Before I met you

Let's stay the same

Can we do that?

What do you say?

Let's stay the same

Can we do that?

You haven't answered

Is it good?

Wonderful.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't help it.

Sorry.

Just one kiss.

-There's no one here. -Wait till I get off work.

Angie Ni!

Angie Ni! Let me explain!

-Go away. -Angie Ni.

Do you want to get out?

No.

Angie.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Get some sleep.

TO SOPHIA BLACK WAR SCRIPT BY XU YI-HANG

AI SMART COMPANION

They're letting me put together a team.

You remember how I've always wanted to make AI robots for kids?

INCOMING CALL - SOPHIA KWONG

Hello? Are you okay?

Yes.

I wanted to ask when you're leaving for the US.

Next week.

Oh, so soon?

I was surprised too.

When you move to the US...

for our son's future birthdays...

do you need me to buy robots?

I'll ask if I can come back.

Okay.

What's wrong?

You sound weird.

I thought you said...

that only idiots pass up the chance to move to the US?

I like idiots.

I liked you better before you met me

I miss myself The person I was

Before I met you

Let's stay the same

What do you say?

Let's stay the same

Can we do that?

You haven't answered

Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

I slept okay.

Dig in.

Wow.

You cook an amazing breakfast!

I cooked for myself for four years whilst I studied in the UK.

Do you want to learn?

I can teach you.

Not really.

I'll just take care of the eating.

Fine.

I'll be the one who cooks.

Hey, if I'm honest...

I just see you as an old friend.

That's all right.

We have plenty of time. There's no need to hurry.

Don't feel pressured.

Go on.

TO BE DEMOLISHED

Don't worry.

I will rescue you.

Let's wait for Angie here.

Let me take you to Hong Kong.

Let me think about it.

Traveling can be good for helping you heal.

Like I said, I only care about your happiness.

If you're happy, I'm happy.

Angie...

I've forgotten how to smile.

What about you?

I'm going upstairs.

Tonight, before midnight, I'll wait for you at the elephant slide.

What are you doing?

Hello, Ling Yun.

Hello. Looking for Ling Yun?

She is next to me.

-Where are you? -The paper recycling plant.
