[The Coolest World]
[Episode 8]
[There are no desperate situations. There are only desperate people. By Jerome]
Go to work now.
We'll work now, Hui.
Teng Xiaoxiao.
Lu Mang likes showing off.
Be careful that you might be used.
Do you also think... that he's going to do it?
Do what?
Nothing.
Well. Thanks for your reminding, Hui.
But in the future, no need to worry about me please.
By the way, about the three computer rooms you borrowed,
did you finish using them?
People in Supply Room let you return the keys soon.
Many people are waiting to use them.
Don't delay others' work.
Why did she do that?
Time for lunch, Xiaoxiao. Let's have lunch.
I-I don't... I don't want... I'm not hungry.
- Just go. - OK. I'll go for lunch.
Right. OK.
President Yin.
It's you that scared me.
- I'm sorry. - So Lu Mang isn't here. Well
The data about your program's broadcasting. Do you want to have a look?
Get things out.
Get all things out.
There's more.
It's empty now.
Very delicious cookies.
It's a reward for you. Go upstairs and have a look now.
President Yin, I...
It's OK. Finish your work first.
[Carefully made shit. Please stop talking nonsense.]
[Obviously it's another producer. It's very touching.]
Teng Xiaoxiao, bravo!
Teng Xiaoxiao.
What's the matter, President Lu?
Hurry up and prepare the next episode.
Internet users paid much attention to Dazhi.
I think she can be the focus for the next episode.
It's a sensible topic. Be careful.
OK.
Since the program has a good performance, it's normal that you feel happy.
But I think you shouldn't hide here.
Since you're here, you should learn to fit in.
Rest in the breakroom. Eat in the dinning hall.
So that you'll find out
It's you that specialized yourself, instead of others.
Right.
You're right.
Hello, Xiaoxiao. I'm already in the hall.
Where are you?
Don't panic. Have you seen Starbucks?
Yes.
Go.
I'm already at Starbucks.
- Turn left. - OK.
Stop!
Have you seen the door?
Turn left. Get in.
OK.
So thrilling.
We two are like undercovers.
How was that? Was it like Infernal Affairs?
Yes.
Remember our rehearsal yesterday?
Don't worry. I'm keeping it in my mind.
Plan A. Plan B.
If Lu Mang joined the interview,
that would be easy.
Just fully present your ability in journalism major.
If there are some other people,
try to show your passion to new media
and your experience.
Actually I also have no idea
about what Lu Mang is thinking this time.
But I think he's probably recruiting for himself.
All right. Please give me the order about the next move.
We'll meet here after you finish.
Please begin your performance now.
OK.
Another direction.
I've prepared for a long time.
I also prepared for very long.
Have you been in this company before?
No. It's my first time here.
I even didn't know this company before.
I already did some research about this company.
Right. I found it good. That's why I came.
Sounds good according to you.
Those who'll have the interview follow me.
Come. This way.
How was that?
Next one, Sun Qi.
I'll go.
Which position are you applying for?
Program planner?
I'm also applying for this.
- Really? - Are you new here?
Right. An intern.
Do you major in journalism?
Journalism in Guangxi University.
I'm so nervous.
So am I.
I hope we both can get the position.
- Wish us everything good. - President Lu.
We did as you required.
They are all specialized in the areas.
And they're already here.
Our interview can begin immediately.
Shen Ying?
Next one.
Shen Ying.
How was that? How do you feel?
Did you succeed?
Say something. Succeed?
I made it! I did it!
I succeeded.
How are you feeling?
How do you feel about joining our 'combat unit'?
Did you feel the attack by overt and covert means from those people's eyes?
Not really.
I'm feeling surefooted.
I also belong to some organization.
I also have a battle companion!
However,
we still need to pay attention in the company.
Don't let others feel that we two get familiar too soon.
We should act and show the friendship
because of staying together for long.
If one day, one of us really quits,
the other could stay.
Act according to your script.
But I think actually Lu Mang is really easy-going.
And I think during the interview,
the questions he asked showed wisdom.
Did we think too much before?
I don't know. About this point, I still have some doubts.
But I think sometimes it's just what you think.
OK. We're running out of time.
We have hard tasks.
Where are we going?
Meet in the underway station.
- Let's go. - Go.
You must be thirsty. Drink some water.
Thank you.
Thanks.
How long have you been waiting outside?
Why didn't you call her?
I called Dazhi, but she didn't answer.
Neither did her assistant.
I thought they were doing live broadcast.
I didn't want to disturb them.
Not like that.
Dazhi is not at home these days.
She went out for some reason.
Who are you?
Anything emergent?
We're from the program division
for Under the Mask of YO Media.
We shot Dazhi before.
The first episode of this program
is really popular,
so we want to talk with Dazhi again.
I know that. I know you.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Hello.
I'm her bestie, Xiaoxiao.
Do you know when Dazhi will come back?
About that... she didn't tell me.
She might need some time,
otherwise she wouldn't have called me here to feed her cat.
What about her live broadcast?
It might be fine, I think.
She's already famous now.
It's fine to skip some.
After your program is on,
she got over 1000 fans within one day.
We really admire that.
Are you here to shoot?
You can shoot me.
I'm also a mukbanger.
OK.
You can give me your contact information.
OK.
I'll get my phone.
Please wait a moment.
[She showed how a beauty became a beast.]
[It's really bad for her body.]
[She did too much for the live broadcast.]
[Her parents would be mad.]
[Waste of food.]
[Won't she get choked?]
Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao.
The subscriber you dialed is power off.
Please redial later.
Sorry. The mobile you telephoned...
[SOHO]
Though good comments are more than bad ones,
people can't stand that usually.
Xiaoxiao, is it possible that she got angry?
It was her that let you post the video
showing her doing intubation.
It's right.
But...
after my several contact with Dazhi,
I think she's a very sensible girl.
Look, with so many public opinions,
she can't afford that.
I thought I could help her
after this episode is on.
After thinking it over now,
I might have hurt her.
Whatever it is, we need to find her first.
How about call the police?
Fan Jiaqi.
Go. Let's ask him.
Fan Jiaqi!
What kind of key it is!
Fan Jiaqi!
What's wrong?
You're home.
I want to ask about
contact information of Dazhi's other friends,
do you have that?
Su Xia. You also have that.
Yes. But I asked Su Xia,
she also can't get in touch with Dazhi.
What can I do then?
I just came back from Shanghai.
It's so far away.
You know?
I'm too tired.
It's too hard.
I just went upstairs from that old stairs.
And my legs won't move.
You know?
I'm really tired.
Fatigue.
I'm going to sleep.
Fine.
I even haven't opened the door.
Go home and sleep.
Think about it by yourself.
I finally opened it.
Gosh.
Good night.
[Please don't bother me again. Thanks. From Dazhi]
Why would it be like such a situation now?
It won't be like this.
There must be a way.
I understand.
Shen Ying.
Why did I just realize it?
In that e-mail,
it says 'Teng Xiaoxiao, you can't avoid the disaster this time.'
I was thinking what it means.
Now I finally get it.
It's Lu Mang.
Lu Mang finally did it to me.
Think about it,
it's such a good topic and a good chance.
Why did he give that to me?
He chose me to do this.
He already knew it would be like this.
And he let me do two episodes of it.
How do I get the episode two for him?
He really thought it through.
That's letting me take the bait!
Lu Mang, you're a devil.
An expert.
He's really an expert about it.
[The program division did really badly about it. Don't consume our sympathy.]
[Could you show us something professional? I've been waiting for so long.]
'We media' can't have so obvious dual standards, right?
You're always concerned about us.
Today we're here to feel concerned about you.
Before, our program was off due to bad comments.
I have nothing to say about that.
But what about your program?
Once it's on, it caused
all internet users' group crusade against it.
I wouldn't mind that, either,
since you have good comments.
What about now?
The streamer you shot is missing.
Is that so?
The new episode is going to show soon.
What's your plan?
What's going on?
What are you doing?
What's wrong with the program?
Even if something is wrong,
it shouldn't be you to accuse us.
President Lu.
Ms. Liu.
President Lu, calm down.
The data that the website tracks gets worse.
Some programs have later danger.
So I'm here to know about it.
Did this episode of program meet some problem?
It'll definitely be on normally.
An oral promise?
I think Teng Xiaoxiao might have some difficulty.
If you can't make it,
we can think about how to solve together.
That won't happen.
If we can't make it,
we'll stop and you can do it.
Are you satisfied with it?
If there's anything later, talk in the meeting room.
OK.
You heard that?
President Lu already promised.
Let's wait and see.
Who?
Us?
Who are 'us'?
'Us' mean who?
So irresponsible.
If something is wrong,
he can't be the one leaving here.
He has shares of YO Media.
Then who'd be dismissed? Me, of course.
Well. Stop being so agitated.
How can I not be agitated?
Why didn't he even ask something
before promising for us?
Obviously he's setting up us.
No.
He's setting up me.
Those people are indeed bad.
But Lu Mang might not know what else to do.
Why do you keep defensing for him?
He deliberately let everyone expect it
so that he can watch me behave like a fool.
So tricky.
Ever since I was little,
no one dares to bully me.
I don't believe I'll be bullied by them.
Can't I make an episode of a good program?
There, there.
Don't be angry.
Everyone knows bragging.
What should I do?
Shen Ying.
What should I do for the next move?
It's OK.
There must be some way.
Welcome to our live broadcast studio.
I'm Peppa.
I'm McDull.
What do you want to listen.
Let us two play for you.
Thanks for Qingqingcaoyuan's flower.
Thank you, A'tian. Thanks.
A'shi.
Welcome, A'shi. Welcome.
I don't want rockets.
I want motorcade. Motorcade!
I want to have more than hers.
Look. Look at them.
They were all acting.
It's not real at all.
How could we use it?
How about shooting Fan Jiaqi?
I think he's special.
And he's different from them.
But I'm afraid that we let our roommate do this.
What if he gets some hurt later?
How could we be friends?
He's so good at cursing.
He might curse us all the time.
You're right.
What should we do then?
Who can we shoot?
Well.
There's nothing that SYXX Studio can't solve.
Sleep now.
Let me think about it.
Go.
I won't sleep.
I'll accompany you.
Go to bed please.
If I figure out one way,
there will be shooting tomorrow, right?
One of us should stay awake.
Good girl, go to sleep.
You're already in pajama.
Stop acting.
You're already sleepy.
Do you really not need me to accompany you?
Pinch my feet then.
Good night. I'll sleep.
You're so quick in pulling the curtains.
Good night!
[Xue, I guess you're watching TV and haven't sleep.]
[Could you do me a favor?]
[The list of the eliminated candidates]
[Good night, Xue!]
[International Famous City]
Xiaoxiao.
Why did you fall asleep like that again?
Paralyzed again?
Paralyzed?
Right. Paralyzed.
You got a stiff neck.
Adjust it for me.
Adjust it.
Wait a moment.
Let me see if you can move.
No way.
I can't move it.
Lie one your stomach.
You're so careless.
Slowly.
I think you're like a tortoise.
Stop laughing!
Slowly.
Flat your body.
OK.
Good.
Let's do it!
Master Shen works again.
Which side is it this time?
Right side.
I can't turn my neck.
OK. Let me fix it.
How was that?
It's too stressful in this area.
Get ready.
I'm going to do it.
You... Tell me before you do it.
Be assured.
So that I can get prepared.
No problem. I'll begin.
Three.
Two.
One.
I found several people who wanted to join YO Media
to be trainees but got dropped last year.
I think the story behind them is worth digging out.
Go to sign.
I'll contact them to see who can shoot today.
Will it work?
We're forced to do so.
Whether it'll work or not, we have to try.
Fine.
Well. Gotta go. Bye.
Hello, everyone.
The clothes I show you
is very suitable between autumn and winter.
The color is bright.
And it's well designed.
Hello, everyone.
Well come to my live broadcast studio.
We're in our gym now.
You can see it clearly.
As a model or streamer,
keeping our figure is very important.
Doing exercise and diet are necessary, you know?
Thank you for your Porsche, Mr. Wang.
Thanks for your love.
Welcome, K.
Why are you here so punctually today?
Thanks for Cong's ten Ferraris!
Quite a disaster.
All strange people in Sailuo
got attracted by your program.
We kept shooting for a whole day,
but got nothing.
Your program became like that.
Only those who want to use the heat
dare to accept your invitation.
Those streamers who really have some stories
are hiding from you.
Dazhi is a good example.
Not everyone can do it.
Right.
Actually,
we also know how horrible cyber-bulling is.
So we already tried to protect her
within our limited ablitily.
But I know it's far from being enough.
That's why it hurt her so much.
Actually we...
Me, Dazhi and Jiaqi
including eveyone living on stream and heat
in or near Sailuo.
We all want to be famous.
We want it too much.
But not everyone can afford
the pressure behind the benefit.
I'm grateful that I'm not the leading role.
Just give up.
The industry is too complicated.
The audience only like watching novel things.
You'll shoot faker and faker one.
Actually I already gave up.
I mean it.
I also don't want to consume your real life.
I did it out of my personal concern.
I-I want to know how Dazhi is now.
I don't know.
I only know she's resting.
Honestly, it influenced her a lot.
She might even not do live broadcast anymore.
Su Xia.
Please help me with one thing.
If...
If you have a chance to see Dazhi one day,
could you say sorry to her for me?
I'm really sorry.
You. Keep your voice down.
I'll take your temperature.
Excuse me. Hello.
Hello, nurse.
Hello.
Well, excuse me.
How can I go to psychiatric department?
This way.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Xiaoxiao.
Are you sure it's Dazhi that wants to meet us?
She didn't even answer our phone.
Su Xia sent me a message suddenly.
I also don't know what's going on.
But we're visiting a patient,
it's not proper that we bring nothing.
You're really thoughtful.
Here you are.
No need. I have money.
Take it.
Buy something to eat for her.
I'll wait for you in the ward.
I'll text you then.
Go.
OK.
Buy some fruit. Fruit.
Come in.
Come in!
Dazhi.
Sit.
Well...
I was shooting something outside with my colleague.
And as soon as I got the message,
I wanted to visit you in a hurry.
My colleague is buying some fruit outside.
We're here to merely visit you.
I mean it.
J-just for a visit.
I said nothing about that.
You behaved as if I got some mortal disease.
Well, have a seat.
No need, thanks.
Thank you.
Why do you look like this?
I'm fine.
Actually,
I read the comments below the program.
I'm really sorry.
If I didn't let you shoot for this program,
it won't happen to you.
I'm really sorry about that.
I mean it.
Several days ago, I was in a too bad condition.
I didn't want to see anyone.
It was not because of you.
I heard from Su and Jiaqi
that you worry about me a lot.
You didn't blame that I stood you up, right?
No. Not at all.
Well.
How do you feel now?
Feeling better?
I still need to thank you for helping me.
People like me eat too much and vomit.
We live in the hell everyday.
We all know it. We're not silly.
But we can't control it.
The feeling of guilty keeps growing.
I makes up my mind every week.
But after the determination,
I broke it up by myself.
I really hate the old me in those days.
Later, someone told me
that I can earn money by eating online.
Then I thought 'I can earn money while eating'?
I began doing live broadcast then.
I really earned money.
People like me.
Then I thought
I'll change after I earn enough money.
Actually I won't change.
Look. You can eat while doing live broadcast
and make money at the same time.
Nothing would change.
It'd only get worse and worse.
I majored in dancing before.
My dream is to stand in the center of the stage
and lead others to dance.
How can I just keep eating and vomiting
in my rest life?
That's why I decided to change it.
I support your change.
It'll be better and better.
What's more,
though... you're not angry with me anymore,
I still need to reflect in front of you.
About it...
Enough.
I said so much. And it's meaningless, right?
Fine. I don't want to talk about it.
When I'm recovered, let's have dinner together.
It's on me.
OK.
What do you want to eat?
I want to eat...
You solved it?
We did meet Dazhi today.
But we haven't shot for your new project.
We can't really put those people for the new episode.
I'll try editing first.
Under the mask, it's not necessarily all real.
Falsehood is also a part of those under the mask.
Right?
If I really can't make it,
I can just leave the company.
If you get involved, don't blame me.
Stop your jinx.
Well.
Stop braiding my hair.
Begin your editing.
Otherwise you might really need to leave.
I'll go to bed now.
I also want to sleep.
I can't do it.
I don't want to edit.
OK. OK.
Sleep now.
There.
Lie down.
Let me tuck you in.
I haven't slept well for days.
I'm sorry.
I want to sleep.
Well. Sleep.
Have a good sleep.
You won't edit it?
I also want to sleep.
How about thinking about it tomorrow?
Thinking about it?
If it's tomorrow, it'd still be me to edit it.
I'm sorry.
I'll sleep now. Good night.
You won't turn off the light?
Tmall Genie, help me turn off the light!
OK. I'm always here.
Please call me if you have any requirement.
Bye.
Shen Ying.
Wake up.
What's wrong?
Great news!
Dazhi agreed to let us continue shooting her.
Really?
She sent me a message yesterday.
Look.
Late in the night.
She said that since she already became the focus,
she could walk further
and be an example for streamers walking in the dark.
Hello?
I'm a male.
I can't embarrass you.
So just shut up now!
Get away.
Come.
Have fun!
Follow me and you won't get lost.
Thanks for your hearts for me.
What are you doing?
Still shooting now?
Quickly.
Your look really outdated in it.
Let me pick some clothes for you.
Who are you talking about?
I haven't put on it.
Come. Listen to me.
Before, I only wanted to earn money.
For earning money,
I could sacrifice many things.
The meaning of life is more than earning money.
And mukbang I did previously
not only hurt myself, but also waste food.
It's encouraged to be economic now.
No one knows each grain in the bowl means hard work.
As an influencer,
we should show people the right moral values.
What's your plan for your future?
I want to do what I loved and felt obsessed about at first.
Dancing.
Yes.
Or becoming a teacher for dancing.
Anything normal.
I won't torture myself.
Careful, Xiaoxiao!
Don't run so fast!
Victoria's Secret!
Right, Victoria's Secret.
Let's go to Victoria's Secret later.
What's Victoria's Secret?
You don't know Victoria's Secret?
Like angles.
Right.
They wear bling-bling right?
They do the catwalk.
I also want that!
I'm not showing you Victoria's Secret!
As a high-end mukbanger...
No. Previous mukbanger.
I know there's a legendary Japanese restaurant nearby.
Average 2000 yuan each person.
Japanese restaurant?
It's evening.
Let's go to barbecue.
There is membership.
You can't go there at your will.
2000 yuan. Too expensive.
Don't go there.
It's over 2000 yuan. Forget it.
I have a card.
After my retirement, I can't use it.
Let's show off once more?
OK.
I-I approved.
However, tell you what, don't be too excited.
When we're in such high-end restaurant,
do you know how to behave naturally?
With money, we could do everything naturally.
No. Not like that.
I know it!
Eat just a little for each dish.
You can't eat up.
Not right, either.
Let me tell you.
Once we enter, tell the waiter and ask
'is your tuna fatty meat preferred or recommended?'
Ask right after we enter?
Right after we enter... Wait!
What's tuna fatty meat?
You don't need to know what it is.
Just tell the waiter 'Is your tuna fatty meat...'
It's OK.
Right after I enter.
Yes. Right after you enter.
Even if you don't order it
and only order a glass of water, he'd think you're awesome.
Sounds so exciting!
Right.
Did you memorize the question?
Yes.
'Is your tuna big or small?'
'Is your tuna fatty meat small or big?'
'Is your tuna fatty meat preferred or recommended?'
'Is your tuna fatty meat'
'preferred or recommended?'
I remember.
See if it works like this.
'Is your tuna fatty meat preferred or recommended?'
Could you not exert all your strength?
'Is your tuna fatty meat preferred or recommended?'
It's like this.
'Is your tuna fatty meat preferred or recommended?'
Right. That's it.
Elegant.
Let's go.
'Is your tuna fatty meat preferred or recommended?'
I feel so happy!
Let's go.

[TAI KOO LI, Sanlitun]
We spent lots of money today.
I feel really bad about that.
What for?
Look, we two are in poor-quality clothes
and walk in the high-end building.
It feels like we're less capable than others.
Don't you feel bad about that?
Besides,
no one is much more capable than anyone.
But there's no way to do with that.
People only care about the appearance.
So I bought us clothes
and make our appearance better
to let them pay attention to our inner part.
It's called investing and packing.
It reflects our attitude to work.
What's more,
I like watching you in beautiful clothes.
I feel happy about that.
But you need to pay the rent and utilities.
I still need to borrow money from you.
I worry that...
Worry?
No worry.
Without you, I can't get the bonus this time.
Don't worry.
We two will live better and better.
No!
What's wrong?
We haven't had dinner.
I don't want to go to the stairs anymore.
Fine.
Let's have a simple meal today.
Here.
It's my favorite!
♫ The subway at 8:30 in the morning ♫
♫ The crowded street ♫
♫ The sunlight with slight warmth ♫
♫ is as dazzling as usual ♫
♫ The muggy carriage ♫
♫ is full of people with indifferent faces. ♫
♫ The quivering train window reflects ♫
♫ a pair of perplexed eyes ♫
♫ I doubted it again and again ♫
♫ I shed my tears in the sleepless night ♫
♫ I've heard too many voices of doubt ♫
♫ I'm involved into crowds by swallowing my pain ♫
♫ Under the colorful neon lights ♫
♫ Wandering alone in the city ♫
♫ Where is my little sky ♫
♫ Maybe in some corner ♫
♫ Pretend to be calm with great pains ♫
♫ Because I believe in my little dream ♫
♫ Even I declare failure today ♫
♫ but so what ♫
♫ Even the humblest singer have loyal audience ♫
♫ In the coolest world ♫
♫ Give myself a hug ♫
♫ Stumbling along on the way ♫
♫ can touch my heart ♫
