[Episode 18]
[Changing "what am I going to do" to "what have I done" is the rule of growth. From Anthony Marra]
Hi. I'm from YO Media. May I ask you?
I told you to stop shooting.
I just--
Wait two minute, please-- I have two more questions.
Hello. I'm from YO Media.
Hello?
Hello. Hui, what are you doing?
Do you have any time?
Not available.
It's weekend. What are you busy with?
In a relationship?
Not at all. I'm sick of women now.
What did women do to you? What are you doing now?
I'm watching bear dancing in a zoo.
Everyone, [Super Science of Success] Today, I'll tell you about dreams and persistence.
I once had a dream. But I didn't succeed.
But a man showed up and changed my life.
He said, do you know why you're tired? Because you didn't choose the right direction.
You should find a team to join. And put together the strength of everyone.
I thought about it all night and made up my mind. I joined his team.
Within a year, I'm making 100,000 yuan a month now.
100,000 yuan!
100,000 yuan.
Do you want to have my salary?
Sure!
Do you want a fancy car?
Sure!
Do you want to have a mansion?
Sure!
Then join our team.
Success! Success! Success! [Super Science of Success]
Success! Success! Success!
Good. Now I'll pick a bunch of seeded players among you.
And I'll make them the richest men in the world.
This girl, please stand up.
Do you know why I pick you?
Because in her eyes, I saw hope.
I saw determination. I saw trust.
As long as you believe me, I will make you the richest in the world.
Thank you, Sir.
You liar!
What's going on?
You--
I'm here today to debunk you.
Don't listen to her. Don't listen to her nonsense.
Don't let him fool you.
I tell you, you are slandering me. What are you doing?
Stop!
Are you Wang Kang?
We're informed that you're under suspicion of several fraud cases.
Come with us. Take him.
Go.
Everyone, don't worry. Just take a statement with me later.
It has nothing to do with us.
We paid.
We paid tuition fees.
Hui. Take a look.
No. Do you know what's your problem?
When you ask a question during the shooting, do you really want to know the answer?
You don't.
You didn't even consider whether you want or not.
I was just looking at you, and I could imagine the look on your face.
You haven't considered what your question itself means.
You didn't even think about the relations behind it.
Then what are you shooting there?
I'll give you one more chance. You can interview again later.
Take the materials back, and make them a best video you can do. Send it to me.
If it's okay to me, I'll apply to Ms. Liu to let you join the production team.
If... if not, then stop your miserable look and complaints.
Just one chance. I don't have time to waste every day with you.
That's overacting.
Come with me. Take your bag.
Come on, cheers!
Here we go.
Did you just see that?
If we didn't have solid evidence, He's trying to deny it.
A scoundrel.
Really.
I tell you, it deserves a celebration.
This guy finally moved out of 3366.
Finally, we can live without hurting our eyes.
Sure. He's awful.
There are still two catties of his waist fat and show it once in a while.
Disgusting.
A psycho.
Cheers!
Girl, listen, bad news.
Your brother has diabetes.
This disease is very difficult to cure.
Say something, girl.
He lies in bed and plays games every day.
Have either coke or ice cream. He won't eat until his food is brought to his lips.
Who else can have diabetes but him?
Okay, that's how you curse your brother.
You want us all to die with him, right?
Listen, if your brother can't be cured, your father and I will die.
You'll be all by yourself. No one cares about you anymore.
Just... Just pretend I don't have you ungrateful soul.
Just pretend I don't have a daughter.
How much do you want?
What? What did you just say?
I said how much do you want this time?
Well, one session cost 20,000 yuan at least.
I know. I'll try.
[Never rely on others. The end will be to disappear.]
[It's meaningless for two same individuals to co-exist.]
All right, stop drinking. It's enough.
I'm okay. Okay.
Let me tell you, Xiaoxiao. I met a guy like that once.
Just the same with your Nie... something.
The same.
The dusty past came rushing back.
Let me tell you the story.
This guy was an artist.
A musician.
One day, he began to ignore me for no reason.
Then I went to see him.
He locked himself in the piano room.
I just banged on the door outside.
I nearly smashed up the door, but he didn't open the door for me.
He didn't even look at me.
Then what should I do? I could only cry outside the door for a night.
I was crying my contact lenses off.
He still didn't open the door. He still ignored me.
Stop drinking.
That night,
The sound of his piano echoed my cries.
Later, finally he could not bear it.
He sent me a message from his phone, saying,
"You're not on my mind today," "Wait another day."
Stop laughing!
Don't push me.
What's wrong with him? What does it mean "you're not on my mind today"?
I... I cried all night.
Later,
I figured it out.
Careful.
He's just a guy.
Right?
I finally turned over a new leaf and decided to break up with him.
He sent me another email, saying, "A song for you."
"It's cold. Let's have hot pot."
Did you go?
I'd go to the hell.
Bastard. Haven't I eaten hot pot before?
But then I listened the song.
It was good.
It touched me and made me cry.
In a rainy day, I brought myself to the hot pot.
Am I a fool, Xiaoxiao? I understand. I totally get it.
I'm the same.
Right?
All the same. It's a process.
Then he said.
"Sometimes, I have your room in my head."
"Sometimes, I don't."
"Can you understand?"
I nod my head like chicken pecking.
I can. I can. I can.
From then on, I fell into the mode in which
I have to figure out if he got me or not today.
You can't refuse artists when you're young.
Sure. Right?
Let's keep our eyes open from now on.
Look carefully. There's a lot of men out there, right?
Right.
My boy, I guess he's out of business by now.
He may not write a song.
But your boy, well,
hang in there.
No.
What? Why not?
Come on. Cheers.
Let the past go with the wind!
- With the wind! - With the wind!
Mr. Cheng.
Go away!
You hit me hard.
You scared me. What the hell are you doing?
What the hell? Let me ask you, Duan Chong.
I waited for your call at home all night. Where were you?
Had a fight?
Failed to talk?
That's all you think about all day, right?
Can you just say something else?
Well, I--
What's wrong with you? Tell me.
You get up like a dynamite in the morning.
What happened?
It doesn't matter if it's not done. Dude, I don't blame you.
She didn't come yesterday.
She didn't... She's not into you?
Look at you and I'll get mad all day.
- You hair is like a cockscomb. - Don't.
Do you look like an IT guy? IT.
Stop doing that.
President Lu, I have sent that information to your email.
And this is a demo of the show.
I'm sorry. These days,
the work is delayed,
because of my personal matters.
I'm really sorry. I'm sorry.
We decided to do an All In pilot to see the response.
Great. We have experience in this.
Right.
Under the mask did give us
some experience and reference.
But compared to All In, it's just a completely different show.
Entrepreneurs documentary column.
No one would be interested.
We can only do reality shows with competition.
Talent show.
I already sent in the proposal, but
there are a lot of things involved.
Diversity and complexity of content
are all blind spots we used to have.
No problem. Give me three days...two days.
One day.
I've arranged everything you need to see
in the reference room on the 29th floor.
Hurry up.
Okay.
What?
Nothing. Got it.
Good.
It has been many days.
Right, where's boss?
He went to Tianjin for for days.
Right, these days,
We need one more guy with the studio.
Right. As usual, you go.
Okay.
Well,
Can I go?
Don't you like outside shooting?
- Right. - Well,
we have an outside shooting today.
- Sure. - Song Zhe.
Song Zhe.
He's calling you.
What?
Where's today's shooting plan? You didn't post it to the group.
Well, I'm... I'm on my period.
- I'm not comfortable. - Post it.
All right, you go.
Okay, thanks.
Teng Xiaoxiao.
No. 4, news group information.
We will go over there.
You can't.
Wang Penghui arranged it.
Tell him if you're not satisfied.
Well,
who messed with you this morning?
Can you talk normally?
Your boss said
all the outside shooting is Teng Xiaoxiao's business.
You two, one to the 30th floor, the other to the studio.
Talk to your boss if you get any question.
I'm just responsible for assigning work.
Well, Zhe. Don't be angry.
I'll go. It's okay.
You wanted to shoot outside before, and you think it's tiring now.
It's like your family owns the company.
Somebody messed him.
It's okay.
I've been back for a while.
All In is still hanging.
I don't want to wait any longer.
After all, someone in Leguo has seen my plan.
If they want to imitate the same kind of show, It's only a matter of time.
I don't want the Under the Mask issue happens again.
Understand?
- Sit down. - I won't!
I heard that you and Lu Mang are working on a pilot.
If there's anything, you can come straight to me,
or to you previous boss.
There's no need to get upset here.
I'm upset for sure.
I brought projects into the company
and worked alone from the beginning.
Call it resource sharing.
But I haven't got the men and hardware
as you promised until now.
I don't understand, what are you waiting for?
Well, I don't want to wait.
I need to start.
YO Media's professional position in the industry is far ahead.
The company has decided that you can come back.
It has own considerations.
We should also follow the market rules.
Otherwise, why did we buy a project that we're not interested?
You want make a pilot.
Lu Mang has submitted application.
President Li agreed.
And I also support you.
Accounting's going through the grant process.
Soon your start-up fund will be in place.
But before you start,
I need to see an executable solution.
No problem.
You're the director of the All In Project.
You'll be responsible for the fund when it arrives.
I hope you won't let President Li down.
Zhe.
Today's news of On-Location Shooting Division.
One, two, three,
four.
It's all marked and I put it right here.
You... you put it over there. It's... it's not for me.
Okay.
Xue.
Right.
This is all prepared for you by your boss.
- Okay. - Look these.
- I can do that on my own. - Okay.
Xue.
Sweet.
Take your time.
All for me?
Sure, all.
Xue, would you like some coffee? I'll order.
I...
I'm okay with that.
Right.
Thanks Xiaoxiao.
You're welcome.
What, Xiaoxiao?
Nothing.
Xue, do you have any painkillers?
I don't.
- All right. - Are you okay?
- What happened? - I ran out of painkillers.
No, I have a stomachache.
You... you can have some donuts.
No, thanks.
Let me get you some hot water.
It's okay. You don't have to.
All right.
You're nice to me.
Xiaoxiao.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
You'll be good after drinking.
If there's something, just tell me.
Li, I returned all the stuff.
- It's okay. - Great, let me see.
Thanks, Li.
All right.
Shen Ying,
these two are great for girls to shoot outside.
They're light and does not take up space.
Use this if you're doing a character shooting.
Use this if you're shooting on location.
Are you going out to work on machines?
I can help you.
Let's go.
Nuo. I just want to know if you are feeling better.
There is no time to grieve.
I'm running out of time to breathe.
Good. Working hard is the best way to escape a breakup.
Yeah. Breakup is nothing compared to promotion.
I get it. A job for your former boss.
Well, stay busy. I'll leave you to it.
He just looked things up.
I'm in charge of sorting them. I got to do all the work by myself.
He just sits back and splits the result.
I think it's not his own project.
He didn't mind it at all.
If he wasn't in a hurry to go back to We Media
and finish that gamble thing,
he won't even bother to find any information.
A typical capitalist.
Hello? Hello?
Hello, Nuo. I'm screwed.
When I was complaining to you about him,
he was right behind me.
Well, what distance?
Three... to five people away.
Doomed. Congratulations.
A hundred percent.
A subway encounter.
That's fate.
He must have heard it. All right.
I'm not... I'm not in the mood to talk to you. Bye.
Right.
That's the story of the movie.
The... the man is a capitalist.
But he's very handsome.
Really.
The movie is great.
And this one up here.
It can be switched to video or picture.
And then this is recording.
And the last two, press and it follows.
Auto follow. Try yourself.
Okay. Come on. Try to shoot me.
Is it on?
Wait. All right, action.
See? See.
Does it follow? Yes.
It's pretty stable, isn't it?
Sure. Right.
Look at the replay to see if it's stable. Okay.
How to? Come on, I'll show you.
This.
And this.
In fact, if you ever want to shoot anything, you can come to me.
I could shoot for you if I have time.
This will make it easier for you.
It's okay. I'm not tired. I just want to get some exercise.
Having someone to help you is also a sign of strength.
I mean I can help you, and I want to help you.
I may have nothing else to teach you.
But I've been here longer than you.
I have more experience.
I can tell you all these.
It's not easy to stay in this company.
But I want you to stay.
Actually,
when you first joined the company, I noticed you.
I like the energy in you.
None of the others had it. They're all too well-off.
Thank you very much! No one's ever said that to me.
All right.
Don't be afraid to bother. Come to me when you need.
Let me take you home.
No. You don't know where I live.
I know, it's close. Okay, let's go.
I'll help you pack up.
I'm good. I can do it myself.
What's wrong with that?
Seems to be broken.
I'm sorry. The first time I gave you a ride, it failed.
It's okay. So what now?
Well.
I'll get you a car and you can go first.
No. I can wait with you.
No, it's rainy. Go back first.
I'll get you a car. Don't.
My home is right there.
I can just walk back.
I'll wait with you longer.
Don't wait with me. Just go home. Go.
Well. You have to work tomorrow.
I'm okay. You should go first.
I don't have an umbrella.
It's okay. I have... I have a helmet
Okay, just take it back.
Then I'll go back.
Go home, go.
I'll leave. Bye.
Bye.

Shen Ying. Shen Ying.
What are you doing?
I'm exercising.
What's wrong with you?
Get on. I can take you home.
I won't. I'll walk.
Then I'll walk you home.
Fool.
Is it fun? Sure.
Cover this. It's rainy.

Are you leaving?
Bye. You leave.
Me?
I don't.
I still have so much to eat.
Let me eat. All right, stop eating.
You're too fat to eat. It seems like you are pregnant.
Can you get a girlfriend with this?
No. No. I mean...
I say. Maybe you should lose some weight.
The girl will show up when you lose weight
The girl will show up?
Look at you.
The body as light as birds.
Handsome guy.
Didn't you still get stood up?
Well,
that's not what I mean.
I said... there might be something wrong.
You can imagine maybe she was hit by a car, lost her phone,
or got robbed. What are you thinking?
Nothing's wrong.
The text and the phone call have reminder.
I made an appointment with her the day before, right?
I haven't seen her all day. What wrong could there be?
Besides, we're all adults.
We're making adult decisions.
I just got dumped.
That's all. No. Listen.
You... you. Try calling again.
I'll call for you. Why can't you call? Let me tell you, Cheng.
The saddest thing in the world is self-deception. You know?
Drop the phone. Call her.
Call what? What for?
Give me. Stop calling.
She answered. Hello?
Hello. Hello.
Hello. I'm Duan Chong.
Duan Chong. I'm really sorry.
I had a situation yesterday.
I forgot all about the exhibition.
I'm sorry. I really am.
All right.
I brought all the materials for the show.
I'll bring it to you if you want. No.
I stood you up. How can I let you do it?
When will you be free? I'll get it myself.
Okay. How about tomorrow?
Okay. Let's meet tomorrow and I'll bring it to you.
Okay, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow.
- Okay. - Thanks.
Duan Chong,
were you like this before?
Weren't you pretty bold before you called?
Besides,
All these years, the relationship experiences
you told me are made up, right?
Sure, it's not important.
The important thing is I did you such a great favor.
How are you going to thank me?
You must be up to something.
Say directly. What do you want?
Well,
Xiaoxiao has a pretty friend.
You are so cunning.
Hello, President Wu.
Zifeng.
Wu. Let's start.
From my observation
of YO Media elites,
I understand
why your company invested All In,
and why you invited me.
YO Media's previous programs,
including those in the project incubator,
are too conservative and similar.
The market needs fresh blood.
Fresh blood.
So YO Media needs high-end output
to show the multiple competitiveness.
That's what we need to do first.
That's what we have to do.
Now, I'm going to show you,
okay?
Everybody stop for a second.
Ms. Liu has gone to a meeting.
Let me give you a brief overview of the work.
Duo,
Wrap up the video editing and submit instantly.
- Okay, Hui. - It's the same this week.
Each person prepares two ideas.
One as an alternative.
Open your mind.
There are a lot of good topics for you to discover.
Find something hot and young.
- This is in fashion, okay? - Sure, Hui.
Don't dive into old shows for inspiration.
It's no fun chewing other people's leftover.
We are not Art Life.
Our oldest audience is also born after 1985.
Who do you plan to show with that?
I've said that many times.
Get on the Internet.
The world is on the Internet.
What is YO Media?
The new media. Understand?
Understand.
Understand?
Understand.
The bonus arrived.
The reason we got the bonus is,
Shen Ying,
in the pilot film material and topic selection,
she gets the credit.
So the bonus should be split equally.
I'll transfer to you when it arrives after lunch.
That's all. Keep working.
- All right. Okay. -Thank you, Hui.
Shen Ying,
you're great.
Good.
Well,
how to do in the later topic selection?
It's getting harder.
Maybe we could do it together. Let's discuss about it.
You're better at this than both of us.
Yeah, you see how much progress you've made.
I heard, on the weekend, you're working here instead of going home.
So hard working.
Right. It's putting a lot of pressure on us.
But no wonder. Shen Ying worked so hard.
No wonder Hui used to scold everyone
but praise you today.
This happy event,
shall you treat us a good meal?
Sure. Well, I'll go get you some food.
Thanks.
The tables were turning, right?
I told you so.
There's something weird in big companies.
Just watch.
One reversal a day.
Are we putting her name on the video?
No. You two, don't be jealous.
Let's finish the work in hand first.
All right. Don't think too much.
Come on.
The vote is President Li's order.
He agrees with President Wu's idea of fast market penetration.
President Wu also provided us with multiple considerations and preparation.
But the decision is in the hands of each manager.
In line with company tradition,
if there's no problem, take a vote.
Hui.
Happy to get the bonus?
Keep working.
I sent something to your phone.
Go back and do your own research.
That will be useful for this selection.
Write as soon as you have an idea.
Okay, Hui.
[When will the money be transferred? From Mom]
Shen Ying.
What are you doing here?
I just went to the bank.
Have you eaten yet?
We just got salary today. I want to go out and celebrate.
Let's eat outside?
Maybe not.
I have a lot of work to do.
Let's go.
The food in the company is boring and expensive.
Maybe not.
Let's go.
Go.
Liu, good news.
I just did a pep rally.
Our enthusiasm is on right now.
The topics they picked are better than ever.
Hong Hui.
Let's leave that for now.
I have a very important thing to say. Let's get everybody here.
Everybody stop. Get over here.
I have some bad news.
The company decided
to cut the production fee of Under the Mask from this episode.
Yes, you hear right.
The money saved will be give to All In for its pilot.
I just went to Accounting Office, from today,
our funding will cut to a half.
A half?
For what?
We've had so many episodes. What's wrong with them?
Stop shouting?
What the company has decided, we should just cooperate.
Well, then in the future,
after they make those pilot episodes,
do we always share the fund?
Shouldn't they allocate money for new projects?
- Right. - What is going on?
Well,
what about our regular audience?
Who is responsible for the loss?
Without enough money, we'll focus more on contents.
So from now on, we must control the cost of our topics.
Keep it tight, all right?
We have no chance of trial and error.
We don't require increase in statistics.
At least let's keep the flow steady.
Tomorrow's topic selection, let's get ready.
Hui.
We just had such a long meeting and decide on those topics.
They have very high budgets.
What should we do now?
I don't know.
