[Episode 3]
What's wrong, Sister Qian?
Stomachache.
Sister Qian's assistant!
Yes!
Come here! Now!
Sister Qian is having a stomachache.
How are you? Sis?
Let's take a break first.
Have a rest.
Stomachache.
Water?
No.
I will get you some warm water later.
How much shooting is left for this advertisement?
I just communicated with them roughly.
It should be done
after two more looks.
Two more?
What's going on?
I hate this kind of last-minute work most.
I'm having a stomachache now.
I... I know, Sis.
It's... It's not easy to be an artist.
Well... You just said that you wanted to have sushi.
I bought it for you.
Let's eat in the room upstairs.
And meet...
An producer at the same time.
What producer?
The producer of this advertisement.
He said there was something
that had to be confirmed with you personally.
I've mentioned it to Sister Yue.
She said you had to see him.
Right there. Upstairs.
Sis, there are so many people here.
Let's go upstairs.
I've turned on the air conditioner for you.
Sis.
It's... It's just upstairs.
The place is really comfortable.
Sis.
Mr. Lu.
Hello.
I'm the producer of the first show
for the company's We Media.
Lu Mang.
Hello, Mr. Lu.
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Please take a seat.
Sure.
I just have a break from the shooting.
I didn't even manage to eat.
Indeed, the show is in hurry.
Thank you.
How about that you eat first?
Thank you, Mr. Lu.
If I don't get to eat,
my stomache cannot stand it.
It's okay. You can eat now.
You can keep talking.
Our show
is customized for you,
so I really hope
to know more about your idea.
How should I put it?
I've seen your proposal.
I think
that it doesn't seem to be something for me.
It's not like the content is bad,
but it doesn't seem
to match with my character.
What do you think?
You don't think
that the show is right for you?
I think my fans
would love to see
the beautiful, cute and glamorous me.
Who would like to see me
in real life with no makeup?
I think these things with real depth
should be for people
who are exhausted after a day of work
and looking for some spiritual comfort
when they are back at home.
Anyway,
I don't really like the project.
Or there's another possibility.
Unless,
you are willing to change the proposal for me.
Sister Jiang...
Sister Qian, Sister Qian.
Well...
Actually... I think
that now,
the acceptance of netizens is generally high.
Really.
And normally, I watch the bullet screen as well.
I find out
that lots of the post-00s kids
have a sharp tongue.
I'm serious.
Now they seem to dislike
the fake, boastful things.
I think
that the point of views of our proposal
are close to the trend.
If we do it well,
it can possibly be super popular.
This is your show.
Of course you would say that.
I think
that I know my fans well.
They won't like this show.
I'm also thinking for you.
You are being very considerate,
but the presentation of the proposal
may be limited by the words sometimes.
Our idea is supported by statistics,
and I had thought about it
for a long time
before I decided
to present the show this way.
I think this can possibly
be a breakthrough for you.
So I still want to introduce the show to you
from my point of view.
That's excellent!
I've been wanting to have such an opportunity
to have a professional
to talk me through these things.
Unfortunately, it's time for my shooting.
Maybe,
we can talk about it afterwards?
Is that okay?
Sis,
they haven't started.
How about my makeup fix?
Right Mr. Lu,
goodbye.
Qian Qian,
Sister Yue.
I just came back.
How's it going?
Did you talk to the producer?
Yes.
Not so well.
I mean,
is he really a producer?
Why is he like a host?
If he has such a noble pursuit in art,
why doesn't he go to make a literary film?
Alright, alright. That's enough.
Makeup artist!
Yes.
Fix the makeup.
Okay! It's done!
Thank you, everyone!
Thank you! Thank you!
Sister Yue, wait for me in the car.
I'm going to the restroom.
Alright.
Sister Jiang...
Sister Qian. Sister Qian.
You can't leave yet.
Mr. Lu is still waiting for you in the dressing room.
I'm tired. I don't want to talk about it.
Sis!
Wait... Wait a second.
Well...
Mr. Lu has been waiting for you for a whole day.
I just saw him in the dressing room.
I don't want to talk to him anymore.
Alright?
No.
I mean,
he deserves some basic respect, right?
Every writer is not easy.
Since you've promised,
you should at least have a few minutes.
Miss Jiang.
I'm sorry, Miss Jiang.
There's some mistakes of our staffs.
We missed a few really important covers.
It will take you a few more minutes.
I'm really sorry.
Seriously?
No!
But...
What's wrong? What's the matter?
I'm here to work as well.
I've been to this shabby shed of yours
for two days in a row
to work for you.
Now you say I need to re-shoot, I have to re-shoot.
Same for the overtime.
Does anyone here respect me?
What should we do?
That's funny.
Our supervisors
on scene.
Please cooperate with us, Miss Jiang.
Hilarious.
But this...
What's going on?
The show is over.
I didn't recognize you just now.
You lost some weight again.
I know
that you are shooting for the advertisement today.
So I come by to have a look.
Originally,
I was going to check the footage with the director first.
But I heard that there was something wrong here.
Who annoyed you?
She is only an intern.
She would be transferred tomorrow.
Let's re-shoot the last one.
Then I will take you to dinner.
I will buy you drinks in return.
How many photos are left?
Three sets.
Does she have to get changed?
Yes.
Hurry up. Let me see your looks on camera!
I still have a few endorsements
waiting for someone new.
Let's go!
Let's get changed.
You can't protect your staff like this.
She has to say sorry.
What's going on?
Who has to say sorry to whom?
I'm telling you.
You must be making Miss Jiang really angry.
YO Media Company
went through so many ups and downs.
Now the studio is not operating just because of this?
[Yin Zhi Yao] [Vice President of YO Media Company]
Mr. Yin,
it's not a big deal.
What do you mean by not a big deal?
Wait a second.
Hello?
You hold on a minute.
I'm in the middle of something.
I think
that you are making Miss Jiang exhausted.
Look how angry she is now.
I say let's call off the shooting today.
Take some rest.
Miss Jiang,
I know that you are very unhappy
about the proposal right now.
It's okay.
We can work together next time.
Hello?
Mr. Yin,
I don't think it's necessary.
Actually it's not what you are thinking.
Qian Qian is having a little bit of her own idea.
Right.
We,
YO Media Company,
never restrict the idea of the artist.
The problem is
that her idea may not fit with our proposal
right now.
It's okay. We will have another opportunity.
Alright.
That's it.
And Xiao Xiao,
hand this to Lu Mang for me.
Thank you.
Yes?
I'm coming over right now.
Are you that busy?
This is a popular artist with great followers that the company is working with,
and you just send a newcomer for it?
The We Media Team got to the 16th floor only a few days ago,
and you lost the one-and-only inspection-free product.
What's going on?
Is the new project none of your business?
You only care about your own job, right?
Mrs. Qin,
it's my fault.
On that day...
On that day, the manager of Jiang Qian alled for an extra person.
I didn't think carefully.
No.
It's my fault.
Can finding the person to blame
fix the problem?
It has been for 48 hours.
The news of the 16th floor is still ongoing.
Lu Mang,
you brought her here,
and it's her mistake.
What do you think?
I think this is a good thing actually.
Why?
Because it is very common
to have such a conflict.
I know this kind of artist.
If she keeps working like that,
it is highly possible that we cannot complete
any of our assumption.
Our company
is a huge group. A team.
Now we have a problem,
and the key is to solve the problem.
For example,
do the company
have some extra resources
for the We Media Team, right?
To help them go through...
No.
We can talk about it.
And,
Zi Feng.
I know
that you are a very excellent
team leader.
But now, we come across such a problem.
Does your team
have a better solution
to figure it out?
How about you?
You can share your idea. It's okay.
It's not in hurry.
Not in hurry.
That's what I think.
If anyone has any question,
you can bring it up.
Qin Qiao just asked.
She said,
"Lu Mang,
what do you think?"
I also want to know
Lu Mang's idea.
It's okay.
Just speak your mind.
The responsibility
is on my team.
I will try my best to solve it.
I trust you.
Alright.
Lu Mang,
I will hand you the We Media Team now.
From now on,
you will be in full charge of it.
That's good.
Also,
Lu Mang is new to the company.
You all should help him more.
Why did I say that I trust him?
That's because I believe
that the new ones are the most creative ones.
Dismiss.
Dismiss!
Lu Mang,
wait a second.
Are you angry?
No.
I think lately,
you might be under too much pressure.
No, seriously.
Then how about the needle mark on your hand?
You went for a drip, didn't you?
See?
I had a stomach flu recently,
and the new project has a lot to do,
but I'm fine now.
I know
that Mr. Li wants you to be in the top position.
For real.
But I don't think
that you have to do anything by yourself.
You should learn to focus on the major and leave the minors to others.
Am I right?
Thanks for your reminder, Mr. Yin.
You are welcome.
It's been a while!
Five years.
I knew that we would work together again.
Now here
has too may eyes.
Let's find time some day
and come to my office.
We can get some food and drink and catch up.
No pressure.
Xiao Xiao,
you are such a trouble maker.
What are you saying?
She is helping Mr. Lu.
How do you call it?
Trying to hit the cow across the mountain.
Now the cow is fine,
but the mountain is gone.
Aren't we getting together again now?
We should thank Xiao Xiao for it.
Otherwise we were scattered
in this building.
It didn't seem to have an end.
Now, at least we can take care of each other.
[Lu Mang doesn't worth your support. See the reality.]
That's a good thing.
[Lu Mang doesn't worth your support. See the reality.]
Sister Xiao Wen is right.
[Lu Mang doesn't worth your support. See the reality.]
Let's stop being so downhearted.
[Lu Mang doesn't worth your support. See the reality.]
Xiao Xiao,
what's wrong?
Junk mail.
Nothing.
Sit down, Lin.
Sis,
that's it.
Can they manage? They are useless.
It will be us to clean up the mess in the end.
Take it easy.
Let's have a look for a few days first.
Why isn't Mr. Lu here yet?
What should we do today?
Who knows?
We have been going up and down these days.
I guess
that Mr. Lu doesn't know what the top is thinking either.
It has only been a few days.
Now we are an independent group.
I don't know it's a good thing or not.
It's good of course!
Under Mr. Lu's lead,
we can play a valuable role
like we used to do.
An independent group can be competitive!
[From: A Stranger, Extra sugar and milk. 2906, Resource Center, Sister Xue.]
[Extra sugar and milk, 2906 Resource Center, Sister Xue.] (Let me help you.)
[Extra sugar and milk, 2906 Resource Center, Sister Xue.]
(Cannot clean this.)
[Extra sugar and milk, 2906 Resource Center, Sister Xue.]
(Let me get you some water.)
[Extra sugar and milk, 2906 Resource Center, Sister Xue.]
(Alright.)
Alright.
Xiao Xiao,
where are you going?
I got something to do.
I will help you later when I'm back.
She has a glowing face.
Her skin is pale.
She must be staying in the resource center
all the time, barely going out.
And the coffee in her hand
looks the same as mine.
It's likely to be the latte with extra sugar and milk.
So, I think this is Sister Xue.
Next, I'm going to impress her
with my sincere performance.
Are you
Sister Xue?
Hello,
I'm Teng Xiao Xiao from the We Media Team.
I'm an intern.
Your boss is inside.
So, may I go to look for some materials?
Sure, sure.
Latte, extra sugar and milk.
It's rare to have such a sensible newcomer.
I will have this one first.
You can put it inside.
Okay!
Get in!
Thank you, Sis!
Why are you here?
That's right.
I have a lot.
Come here.
You help me go through these first.
"Why are you here?"
He asked me: "Why are you here?"
Why am I here?
Didn't you send me here?
Aren't you the one who sent the email?
What are you pretending?
That's an eyesore.
But what can I do?
He is my supervisor.
I have to cooperate with him.
What are you thinking?
-Xiao Xiao! -He's calling me.
Heard you!
Yes, Mr. Lu.
I will check the previous ones first.
See if there's anything useful.
We are mainly looking for
the useful experience they had.
This one as well.
The company has made an order
Under the Mask
has to find an appropriate substitute
within a week
to complete the pilot episode's process.
About the information of the pilot episode's process
and the target market of our show,
I've made a file
and sent it to the DingTalk group.
You can check it when you have time.
But the most urgent matter
is still the substitute.
These are the information
of the artists
who have worked with the company before,
including the projects they participated in,
the proposals,
and the scripts.
Teng Xiao Xiao,
go to get
the research of the target audience
later.
Okay.
Everyone,
contrast and screen first,
and narrow it down.
After lunch,
we will discuss it again.
Okay.
Let me have a look.
I'm sorry.
I brought you here from the canteen
to have you try the food my wife made.
Have a taste.
Alright.
Try this dumpling.
How does it taste?
Much better than the canteen for sure.
Of course!
I made my wife to cook for my lunch everyday.
She is really annoyed.
To be honest, I'm...
It's not because canteen's food is not good,
but because when I get to the canteen,
I really feel uncomfortable. Do you understand?
I have to keep nodding and saying hello.
From this side to that side and to another side.
They don't feel at ease. Me neither.
Who don't know
that the well-known Mr. Yin
of YO Media Company
is only a name.
He has no real power
but the capability
to eat in my own seat.
I haven't managed to check on you.
How are you doing?
Are you used to it?
I'm fine,
but,
the staffs I brought from New Flag...
They are capable, to be honest.
Maybe they are not used to the new environment yet.
It's the environment
they are not used to
or it's Qin Qiao?
I'm telling you, Lu Mang.
Qin Qiao likes to exaggerate.
Remember,
as long as it's not a problem in principle,
she is not that stubborn.
Also,
in YO Media Company,
the one in charge
is still Li Bo.
Qin Qian is only a messenger.
Sometimes, the girl doesn't know the line.
If you get to know her long enough,
maybe you will find that she is not so difficult to deal with.
Mrs. Qin is fine.
Right now,
we need this kind of leader.
A leader who bullies people by virtue of someone else's power?
Forget about her.
I'm just kidding.
I asked you here for lunch today
because
there's something
I want to tell you.
There's an excellent opportunity right now.
YO Media Company
is handing the first project of We Media
to you.
You have to take the opportunity.
As long as you make it,
the future is great.
Don't worry.
If you need any help in manpower or resource
during the process of the project,
come to me.
We will try by ourselves first.
If
we really can't work it out,
I will get to you.
Sure.
Here, try this one.
It's my favorite, chives and egg dumpling.
I'm back.
You are back.
This weekend,
His father and I will take him to a trip.
Remember to order delivery when you are alone at home.
What's wrong?
You look gloomy.
Not going well at work?
It's common that things are not going well, right?
How about that you join us this weekend?
Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go together.
No, no, no.
If I'm going with you, what are you going to do?
No.
I would be a trouble.
No? Really?
Then let's go.
Okay.
Wait a minute.
Sister Nuo,
I still want to talk to you a bit.
Or I'm going to explode.
Darling,
go to play with Lego over there.
Auntie Xiao Xiao and Mom have something to say.
It will be quick.
Women always drag their feet.
Don't take too long!
What's wrong?
Someone is having an eye on me.
It's not what you are thinking.
There is a mysterious person lately.
This person has been emailing me all the time,
asking me to do this,
and asking me to do that.
Sometimes the direction is right,
but sometimes it's wrong.
But the problem is, I'm going crazy.
I don't know what this person wants.
Sister Nuo,
have you got into something like this?
Did you check your horoscope?
I did!
Recently, the new moon entered the Gemini.
Mercury and Jupiter are at each side.
Everything seems to be in my favor.
But this is still a bit creepy.
What should I do?
In a big company like YO Media,
it's common to find yourself
in some office politics.
From my experience,
you don't have to
treat these emails very seriously.
If they are useful, you can take them as a reference.
Otherwise, just leave them alone.
The most important thing is,
you have to learn to be yourself, alright?
Mom,
Dad is waiting downstairs and getting anxious.
Alright, alright.
Go, go.
Forget about it.
How about this?
You get your horoscope and check it again?
Maybe at different times,
the results are different, right?
Don't overthink it.
Alright. Go!
Have fun!
Bye!
Remember,
order delivery on the weekend!
-Bye! -Bye!
Let's go. Let's go.
-Bye! -Bye!
[East door, East Gate, No. 236 Liujiayao, Fengtai Hopefully you will get a surprise.]
Sir,
An egg pancake, please.
Alright.
Do you have one ready? I don't need any extra.
Yes.
Yes, but it's a bit cold, miss.
Cold is fine.
Alright.
Four yuan for one.
Thank you.
Sir, may I ask
that where is the Liujiayao No. 236?
It's at the back, miss.
Why are you visiting there?
It's an errand.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Alright.
Xiao Xiao.
Mr. Lu.
What a coincidence.
Have you had breakfast?
I just bought this.
I already had it.
Thank you.
Why did you buy so many things?
The kids sponsored by Chen Xu are all here today.
Trying my luck.
How do you know this place?
The internet!
Tianya, Douban...
There is a lot of things there.
The netizens are really something.
Do some research, and here it is.
Mr. Lu.
Did you sleep well last night?
I slept well. What's wrong?
I... I didn't sleep well.
There are messages and emails all night.
It's annoying.
Then turn off your phone
and get an alarm.
Right. Good idea.
Good idea.
Liujiayao,
No. 236.
Madam,
you see, the idea of We Media
is completely your idea.
We've planned for such a long time.
Now it's handed
to these useless people like this.
Don't know what Mrs. Qin is thinking.
What if
they really make it,
it's so unjust to us.
Why didn't you put on your badge today?
I... I left it on my seat.
I will put it on as soon as I get back.
I mean, Sis...
You don't have to buy some many things here.
They have everything they need.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Kids!
Where are you?
Brother Chen Xu!
Alright, alright.
Slow down. Slow down.
Where is Brother Chen Xu?
Here.
Here he is.
Do you miss me?
Come here.
Look at what I brought to you!
A guitar!
Yes, a guitar!
You give them whatever they want.
You are going to spoiled them.
As long as they are happy!
Right, right.
Here.
Your hands are red!
She is the only one.
Take it.
Take it!
Well, they also brought some school things and snacks
for the kids today.
You must be from the Youth Arch Foundation.
We've been wanting to meet you,
but there isn't a right opportunity.
What a coincidence today.
Hello.
We are from YO Media,
not the foundation.
I'm Teng Xiao Xiao.
Right.
We know that Mr. Zhao Yu
helps raise these kids,
and that Mr. Chen Xu has been keeping an eye on them,
so today we are here
and we would like to talk about some collaboration.
Brother Xu,
let's go.
I'm going to visit you later.
No matter where you are from,
we don't accept any interview.
I'm sorry.
Don't follow me.
Wait a second.
Wait a second, Mr. Chen.
We have made it very clear.
No interview.
It's a mistake.
It's really a mistake.
We don't want any interview.
We had a new reality show.
The description and proposal of the project
are sent to your email last night.
We believe that Mr.Chen is very suitable for it.
He is one of the rare artists in the country
who has a valuable ability
to promote public welfare.
We want more people
to know the stories behind public welfare.
We hope that more public figures
can get involved.
What we do
have zero ill intention.
That's the bag of the man just now.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Sorry to bother you.
It's alright.
Mr. Lu,
how does it go?
Chen Xu promised to shoot for a pilot episode.
That's great!
There shouldn't be any information about this on the internet.
They protect it very well.
How did you know this place?
You guys from New Flag, what do you have in mind?
Yesterday's trouble is not big enough for you, isn't it?
Or you've planned
to make it the headline?
How many days have you been here?
You didn't learn anything
but make grandstanding in such a short time?
Two celebrities with huge followers together don't equal a super popular show.
Do you get it?
Mrs. Qin,
what's the problem exactly?
Do you know that Chen Xu is Jiang Qian's ex boyfriend?
You didn't do the most basic desk work.
How amateur are you to be honest?
The contract of Jiang Qian is near its term.
The company is talking about the renewal now.
You are getting me troubles at this point?
Have you thought about the consequence?
Her three projects
are still on the list of the company's performance evaluation.
If there is no renewal,
the three projects are gone as well.
What do you want?
Troubles?
This is my fault.
Of course it's your fault.
I don't care how you are going to do it,
but immediately,
put Chen Xu off.
Even if we have no one to shoot the pilot episode, he cannot be part of it.
