[Episode 12]
[Only people who lie in the mud forever will not fall into the pit again. By Hegel.]
Compromise is impossible.
They provide us only two choices.
One is compensating
and publishing the punishment in the industry.
The show will be owned by them.
The second is that we can produce the show
but the broadcasting right should be divided equally, so as the profit.
What about the writer?
Haven't you made it clear now?
Now it is not a matter of the ownership of the show,
but Leguo is negotiating with us.
As far as I know,
the copyright of Behind the Ordinary
doesn't belong to Leguo.
Xiaoxiao.
My husband
has asked almost everyone for help.
He's found some information about that person.
I've sent it to your phone.
See if it is helpful.
Thank you, Nuo.
Help me to say thanks to your husband.
No need to say something like this.
Have you talked with your colleagues?
What to do now?
Not yet.
But my boss said he had a solution.
He asked me to follow his command.
Look,
is it good to get a solution?
I told you
that your company won't let you
handle such a crucial accident alone.
Right?
I don't know what will happen.
It's like that I'm done.
Look at you.
Why are you always pessimistic?
Don't keep these irrelevant thoughts.
Everything can be solved, okay?
Okay.
I'm hanging up.
Bye.
Don't keep thinking about it.
Bye.
Darling.
Look at you.
Don't comfort her so determinedly.
She has to face it by herself in any case.
Okay?
I just wanted to encourage her.
She is a foolish girl,
what if she takes things too hard?
Why are you so caring about her?
So many friends as you have,
why do you care Teng Xiaoxiao the most?
Right.
I have many friends.
But only a few of them are close to me.
You know me, darling,
I don't like the people who are too complicated.
I like someone simple.
Xiaoxiao is simple,
kind,
pretty
and innocent.
She has both great shape and skin.
Every time I see her,
I'd think of myself in childhood.
It's different.
You are much better than her.
Besides,
what you have now
is the best temperament.
What kind of temperament?
Is our son doing his homework?
Let me go to have a look.
He went to his grandma's home.
Today?
Right, didn't you know that?
Didn't I send you a message?
Okay, let me tell you about your temperament
when we go to sleep tonight.
Why are you so bad now?
Let's go, go now.
You irritated me.
I'll go dressing up.
We take the custom as something correct.
Such as, environmental damage doesn't matter,
but whether we get the money from it matters.
When we get used to eating the food with excess pesticides,
we'll get unaccustomed to those without pesticides.
All these facts tell us
that the environmental protection in China...
Hello.
Are you Mr. Wu Guoji?
I was appointed by a man.
He is my boss.
Hello,
I'm Teng Xiaoxiao.
About the tort of Under the Mask,
I...
No need to talk about this here.
You must have received the lawyer's letter.
Go to talk with Leguo.
It's unnecessary to talk with me.
Well,
I come here mainly to discuss with you
about another project of you.
Because we shot it temporarily,
the preparation is not sufficient.
So please watch the material first.
We have recorded sixteen interviewers.
Mr. Wu Guoji.
Please have a look.
We found all these representative Internet start-ups in China off the cuff.
Actually I didn't know them in the beginning.
But during the course of shooting,
I approximately understood
what you want to produce.
Don't squat there.
Have a seat to talk.
Waiter, another cup of coffee.
Okay.
Your coffee.
Thanks.
Mr. Wu Guoji,
you've graduated from a media university.
After that you chose to study abroad
in journalism major.
You proposed Behind the Ordinary
soon after you entered YO Media.
Because the project didn't make any progress,
you decided to leave.
I guess
that what you concentrated on is not the program itself,
but what the program was performing.
What you're focusing is not any group of people
or the rise and decline of any industry,
but the meaning of striving
an era has given the current people.
These are all the content of social journalism.
What you were discussing in another program,
is the similar question.
Do you know the meaning of "all in"?
I don't know if I understood right.
When I've read your plan,
I think of a documentary I've watched called Ignite.
Zhang Ying from Latitude and Longitude in China said there
that he always said
to the entrepreneurs in America
that luckily they are not in China
or else they'd get tragic failure.
Because nobody can imagine
how persistent the founders of Chines start-ups are,
how fast they execute,
how quick their action is
and how hard they work.
They are the civilian heroes of the society.
But they are ordinary people.
We are ordinary people, too.
We can also join or become them.
If you choose to be at ease.
Work, life, balance.
You may lose the chance with all in.
But if you choose to get all in,
you may possibly get nothing.
Leguo has decided to develop the new program of mine
so they are helping me with the lawsuit.
YO Media has denied me,
so I have no reason to trust you again.
But I'm still glad to meet you.
After chatting with you,
I don't think you are someone who wants to take a shortcut.
But I still can't understand the decision you made.
In view of this,
I hope we won't meet on any worse occasion.
Leguo will not and is not able to produce the "all in" you want.
Leguo is just utilizing the dispute of copyright
to attack your previous boss.
With you as the fuse,
the public must be easier to be convinced.
Little girl,
it is totally wrong for you
to make mischief here.
Because you are from YO Media,
what position are you in that can make me trust you?
Both Leguo and YO Media
are the top large media companies in China.
They all want the success in stability.
YO Media produced Under the Mask
while except for entertaining reality shows with celebrities,
Leguo hasn't produced such original programs.
Because they don't even believe
such a program can survive in the market.
YO Media didn't believe it, either.
But they have tried and got the profit.
You are in the profession of media
so you must know the market better than me.
You must be able to judge if I am right.
My current judgment is
that this case has made YO Media in trouble,
and I am your only life-saving straw.
Right.
You are right.
I know.
All what I'm going to say sounds like my excuse.
Indeed, I saw your Behind the Ordinary project
from our reference room and was enlightened.
Therefore I produced Under the Mask.
I feel shameful for what I did.
I'm willing to pay the price
and take the responsibility.
But just because I produced Under the Mask,
I can understand
what you want to express better.
At this point, YO Media shows much sincerity.
A person who plunged her company into a scandal of tort
can't represent her company.
She can't represent YO Media, either.
Waiter, check.
I can't,
but President Yin can.
We've revised the document once but the superior is unsatisfied.
Right, why is it?
I don't know what to do.
I even want to give up.
Hello.
Take a look
at the proposal the director has just made.
Look at here.
Not bad.
President Li.
Why does he come back?
Go, let's go.
You know what?
Who is it? We are having a meeting.
President Li.
Why do you come back?
[Li Bo, President of YO Media]
Such a big problem occurred in our company,
how can I not come back?
Let's go.
Let's discuss on the meeting.
Okay.
Share your opinions first.
I recommend the second selection.
We've finished the early stage and investment of the show.
The development is also successful.
The market and stable traffic have been formed.
Handing it over to others at this time
shows no benefit to us.
Besides, we have to pay a large amount of compensation
and publish a note to the people in our industry.
which would cause great influence on our reputation.
In my opinion,
neither of the proposals is practical.
What kind of better solution does President Lu have?
Please wait a minute.
I'm waiting for a confirmation.
Wu Guoji has agreed to meet with us.
What are you doing?
Meet with the opponent's key person at this time?
Don't you have any sense of public relations crisis?
The lawyer's letter was revealed.
If the follow up movement was caught as hyping up,
who should take the consequence?
Lu Mang.
You did contribute much
for the We Media development,
but you also made many troubles
by doing things in your own way.
Can you please discuss with me
before you take any action?
Sorry for my interruption.
I believe all of us
who are sitting here today
aim to solve the problem.
The key to solving a problem
has never been an accusation.
Let me share my opinion.
The fact is very clear now.
Under the Mask has been produced.
The traffic and stable audience have formed.
So what's the key point now?
That is, if we hope the audience
keep watching YO Media's program
or watch it by Leguo.
As far as I think,
we can never give in.
President Qin.
You successfully handled the public relations crisis.
It's a great job both in the overall thinking
and the maintaining of our company's image.
But what essential is
that you missed the core of this case.
Talking about this,
I have to mention Lu Mang and Xiaoxiao
about their merit and fault.
What's their merit?
We've been spent a long time
and a large amount of money,
paying abundant manpower, materials and energy
to operate We Media.
On the surface,
we've built a high quality team,
but why didn't such an excellent team
provide a satisfying work
to the audience and our company?
What's the reason of being unable
to create a quality program?
The arrival of Lu Mang
has brought vitality to We Media.
Whether the public praise,
online play volume
or the new VIP amount, the result are all excellent.
It can be seen by everyone.
The efficiency and achievement are undoubted.
Talking about the fault,
I think
it is no more than being overhasty
and too eager to win.
But which new arrivals wouldn't want
to make some achievement
to hold his ground in the office?
Therefore, he ignored something in detail,
I think it is forgivable.
Their target is producing an exquisite show.
That is the most important.
Isn't it?
Okay, let's get back.
What you kept emphasizing, President Qin,
is the denounce from the public.
I'd like to provide a new dimension
for reference.
Now every media is catching the hot spot of this case
is possible for them, from some aspects,
to help us finish a free advanced promotion?
Very likely, right?
I think so.
The show has been taken off,
the most crucial topic we'd discuss
is when and where the show can be rebroadcast
and which platform our audience we cultivated
will choose to watch Under the Mask.
It seems that President Yin
has well prepared for this speech.
So I have a question.
This has already happened,
the public is not disinterested in it.
This is a problem of copyright, it's about principle!
How could it be solved?
Please be calm down.
This question...
Thanks.
What kind of tea?
White tea.
It's really nice.
President Lu.
Please help me to answer the question
President Qin asked.
Let me introduce it to you.
Firstly I want to confess my fault.
Maybe it's because
we've been worked in journalism industry for a long time,
at the first time the accident occurs,
my team and I
have kept concentrating on introspection
and self-correction,
thinking about who and how
to take responsibility for the consequence.
But the market
and long-term solution were ignored.
Luckily at this time,
President Yin gave us
a very instructive direction.
So today...
I'm...
I guided Teng Xiaoxiao
to have a try.
We are the creator of Under the Mask.
Let alone the public opinion,
whether it is copied and how much it was copied,
these should be further discussed.
Since the program was released,
it has occupied a certain market.
We produced the program independently.
But they want to jointly broadcast with us
to share our vested interest
and new customers.
This is unreasonable and unacceptable.
What's more, it would cause great harm
to the past work and input-output ratio of YO Media.
Now that we've got some new solution by communicating,
we should hold the initiative
to create a new turning point for this.
Fine.
Whether Leguo wants to create smoke bombs to gain profits
by paying no effort utilizing the copyright conflict or not,
the lawyer's letter has been sent.
If we don't fulfill the negotiation result,
we'd get into a lawsuit.
I'd like to ask,
what will you do?
According to reliable information,
the so-called original copyright being infringed
doesn't belong to Leguo.
They have signed an agreement
with the copyright owner, Wu Guoji
that when the copyright contest is complete,
they'd shoot his new project.
President Yin and I
have investigated that new project.
I can guarantee by my professional judgment
that this project is worth developing.
I've sent the proposal to our chat group.
Please take a look.
Not bad.
I think it is good.
You mean,
you want that person
to come back to YO Media again?
President Yin must know the best
about how and why he left.
Such man with a great ambition
but little talent and teamwork spirit
doesn't deserve YO Media's position.
Even if he comes back,
he'd repeat the previous story,
leaving as how he comes.
President Qin is right.
At that time,
I really thought that it was a waste for him
to work under my command.
Look at our company,
we can't give him sufficient resources
while he is a man with broad ideas.
I think we didn't respect the creators' value well.
We surely should take part of the responsibility.
But currently the most crucial thing for us
should be to bring the copyright
which is involved in the conflict back to us, right?
President Yin.
Accept all the conditions
this man has negotiated with Leguo.
Invite him to come back
as a member of We Media.
Well, well.
Great job.
Take this.
This is the content of All In's following task.
We still need to make the other side
feel our sincerity continuously.
What do you mean?
Let me do this?
Of course.
It's you that made the mistake.
No, I didn't mean that,
I mean,
can I still...
Whether you can stay or not
is determined by the final decision of the office.
But I'm almost sure
that you don't need
to afford the money of compensation.
Make up your fault by merit.
I have to go.
Go back home early for rest.
You were not here
and handed the business over to me,
but a problem occurred now.
I didn't solve it soundly,
so that you must come back for it.
I'm lacking experience and didn't manage it well.
Fine, fine.
Look, everywhere with light hasn't dimmed yet.
Stop criticizing yourself.
Our company hasn't collapsed.
You did well enough.
The lack of experience you mentioned
is related to the age and sophistication
instead of ability.
Now that you've known your shortcomings,
you should observe and learn more.
Especially learn more from Yin Zhiyao's sophistication.
Ask him more often,
Don't you believe it?
If you ask him for help,
he won't refuse.
That one called Lu Mang is nice,
So is his intern.
They are talents so we should keep them in important positions.
The new arrivals can't convince the others,
so adapt suitable management to them.
I trust you in the administration.
I have another concern.
Say it.
Lu Mang is eager to complete the bet.
I don't think
he has a long-term plan in YO Media.
I've asked someone to research his background,
He is anxious to cash out
because of some private reason.
I think all these unstable factors
are not conducive to the development of We Media.
Therefore,
would it be better to make our own people manage We Media?
Do you mean
we should find ways to turn Lu Mang into our own people.
Except for putting pressure on him,
you should make him feel appreciated.
Your concern is very important.
You can implement your idea
and observe for some time.
Besides,
the copyright issue needs to be handled properly.
I don't want our company's name
to be always on the top search.
Okay.
President Li.
President Yin.
By the way,
I wanted to tell you
that on the meeting
I'm eager to solve the problem,
so I was too straightforward.
Don't mind me.
President Yin was right.
Accurate and incisive.
I've learned from it.
Was I incisive?
- Xiaoxiao comes. - Xiaoxiao is back.
Xiaoxiao, you are the good luck itself.
Xiaoxiao should treat us a dinner.
I want to rely on you.
We all rely on you.
Come on,
I've waited for you for the whole night
but you said nothing.
What happened on earth?
Do you want more?
No, thanks.
You'll burn yourself like that.
Eating like this,
tell me what happened.
You look like eating your last meal.
Shen Ying, I'm begging you.
I just drank water these days
but have no meal.
Can you allow me to eat something warm first?
Let me finish it before I tell you.
Please.
I don't need to pay the 20 million yuan now.
Really?
That's great!
You don't need to compensate!
You are clear!
Perfect!
I'm very happy now!
I'm so happy that I can even fly!
I don't get any happiness from you.
You look so sad.
Oh my goodness.
Really!
Although I'm not sure whether I can stay or not.
at least I can afford the dumpling soup.
I'm just afraid that this is fake news.
True or fake, I have no idea.
But Xiaoxiao,
I have bad news to tell you.
Sit down.
The last subway home has gone.
What's wrong? Oh my goodness.
You scared me so much.
My heart is fragile.
I'm very fragile now.
You scared me to get goose bumps.
You are so bad!
Why are you so funny?
Don't cry.
Let's pay the bill.
How can you let me pay it?
You are a multimillionaire now.
How can't you pay the bill, rich lady?
You are so bad!
Seeing you crying, I want to laugh.
Go!
Shen Ying.
Look.
♫ It 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 ♫

You applied it outside,

Here?
Right.
All right.
Is it okay?
- Here, here. - Here?
Right.
There is a flake,
pick it.
Anything on my teeth?
Perfect.
Okay.
Are you going to a start-up company?
Would it be too casual you are in?
No.
Let me tell you.
The people from companies of Unicorn
are all freaks.
I saw a girl that day
at the similar age of us.
Guess what?
She is the CEO of the company!
Ashamed.
Look what they're doing,
and see what we're doing.
Is she good looking?
Not bad.
But not as pretty as you.
You really have a glib tongue.
I think Wu Guoji is brilliant.
Look.
He can think of
digging stories from those people
and produce an entrepreneurial reality show.
Right.
I saw him for once that day.
I think he just looks like a freak.
Actually,
he is simple.
He just wants to protect his creative idea
and defend for his work.
You are really broad-minded.
Work for someone who wants to fire you
while communicate with someone sues you.
You are amazing.
I have no other choice.
I'm too panicked to get another method.
However,
Lu Mang did change the decay into a miracle
and won a round.
But Nuo's husband has done great help.
Don't talk anything else
I think
you become his lifetime fan from his enemy.
What are you talking about?
I just want to share some pressure with you.
In the beginning,
I thought Lu Mang was a scum as well.
When the incident happened, he made his subordinate the scapegoat.
Didn't expect that he had his strategy.
It was under the situation
of you telling him about the mail.
He's generous.
You are making me sad.
Go on!
Don't mention the mail.
I thought I've got blind luck recently.
So I got something like a workplace brochure.
Didn't expect that the fact proves
it is easier to slide
by walking on the smoother road.
There is no guidance for work.
But he did help you.
What did he help me?
I am uncertain until now.
Life or death, no idea at all.
Above all, Shen Ying,
I will never and ever
care about the mail.
100 percent, 200.
Easy, don't worry.
I think
your brother Lu Mang
would also protect you secretly behind this time.
What brother?
Brother Lu Mang.
What brother?
Uncle Lu Mang.
Sorry.
What's wrong with your phone?
It's hard to contact you recently.
I'm sorry.
I've got a phone malfunction
and didn't spare time to fix it.
Your shooting today was canceled.
The two bosses have something to do suddenly.
I appointed
Professor Chen Yun from the Economic College
to enhance Wu Guoji's program
But I have to meet Wu Guoji with President Qin now.
So help me to visit Professor Chen Yun.
Show him this paper.
Listen to his suggestions and comments on these sections.
If you finish it quickly,
come to find us.
Okay.
In this way,
we can increase Wu Guoji's confidence on us.
Time is limited, hurry up.
I have so many things to do.
This is not the only one.
The topic of my today's speech
is the practical application of economics in society.
Before I start my speech,
I'd like to review
the ten principles of economics.
Mr. Wu,
this is...
Tell me.
What's your requirement?
Mr. Wu, things are like this.
Our company is very interested in your new project
and we decided to continue producing it.
All the materials about this project
are under preparation.
There will be updated soon.
Any update?
Let me confirm first.
[Teng Xiaoxiao]
The economical theory in your plan
is basically solid.
At present,
I can only help you this little.
Come on.
Professor, you are so modest.
What you said today
did a great help to us.
I have something to do so I have to leave.
Thank you so much today.
Thanks.
I'll wait for your good news.
Let's keep in touch.
Thank you, professor.
- Bye. - Bye.
The signal here is not that good.
Let's wait for your message.
Waiter.
A cup of coffee.
Okay.
Two cups.
Okay.
Sorry.
What are you doing?
Be careful.
Sorry, sorry.
Excuse me.
What's wrong?
[Teng Xiaoxiao]
Hello?
Xiaoxiao.
Look at this city of Beijing.
New buildings are under construction everyday.
That building is almost completed.
There are changes on every passing day.
But Qin Qiao, you haven't changed even a little.
YO Media haven't changed, either.
You want changes,
and want to be better,
but you don't have such ability.
I got something to do and I'm leaving.
Take your time.
