There will come a day when you will forget him.
Until that day arrives, you'll be fine as long as you don't see him.
If you hadn't dumped me, I wouldn't have developed an interest in acting.
You two are acting like a bickering couple.
But, what you acted out earlier,
was a demon that went crazy and killed another demon.
There was no angelic aura at all.
You're actually returning a call while working, unbelievable.
I wonder if something happened to her.
Show me your real acting skills.
He's still the same, as possessive as ever.
If one day your feelings towards Gong Xi evolve into love,
I wonder what kind of a person you would become.
His eyes never left Gigi until his last breath.
It's almost as if they are the real lovers.
Do you truly like me?
I do like you.
Don't keep creating trouble for me and giving me a big headache, all right?

I never expected you to have such talent.
What do you mean?
To get a girl to stop crying...
How long were you standing there for?
So it seems...
that the only one who doesn't get to benefit from this talent is me.
You're referring to our younger days?
Every time I cried, you'd only stand by me and watch,
never offering me any comfort.
I didn't mean to just watch.
I really had no idea what to do.
- Mom, don't go. - I know how your Mom treated you.
If you continue being like this I'll get angry.
I wanted to comfort you,
but for a child like me who's so protected by my parents,
whatever I said would have sounded phony to you.
You might have thought that I was boasting.
I know.
That's why subsequently every time I felt like crying,
I would walk away so you wouldn't see me cry.
I didn't want you to worry.
I could only walk away to somewhere out of your sight,
to my own little corner and silently cry.
There,
I met...
Corn.
Although it was only a few short days,
to me, it was almost like a dream.
Yet it is the most important memory in my life.
It's a secret that belongs only to Corn and I.
So I see.
Those times when you mysteriously disappeared,
you were off crying in secret?
Why are you here ruining my beautiful memory?
Beautiful memory?
Crying in secret behind my back is a beautiful memory to you?
I can't be bothered to explain.
Anyway, wasn't it much easier for you that I didn't cry in front of you?
Whether I want it to be easy on me is my business.
Who are you to make this decision on my behalf?
Hello?
Oh.
Yes, I called just now.
Mmm...
Not good, I have no idea why it's weird speaking on the phone.
Are you working?
She wanted to tell you that she participated in my MV.
Her popularity will soar after this.
This is fantastic news.
That's it.
It took considerable time and effort before I managed to get Mr. Lian
to start having a good opinion of me.
Now, who are you to go and do that?!
It wasn't easy for him amidst his busy schedule...
to find time to return my call!
Don't you hate Dun He Lian?
You're the one I hate!
She wanted to tell you that she participated in my MV.
Her popularity will soar after this.
This is fantastic news.
That's it.
I am so very sorry.
My legs are too long.
If I had noticed sooner that Dun He Lian was present,
I suppose I would have been more careful.
That voice is...
Bu Po Shang's.
[Love Me Department]
Gong Xi jie jie?
What's with that horrified expression on your face?
Did you just do something irreparable?
Irreparable?
You're really good at reading people!
Did you know that with every sigh you let out,
a bit of happiness slips away from you?
Gong Xi jie jie, you're no longer a happy person.
You actually let out a sigh just now.
Mary, you are hilarious.
How old are you? How could you be so superstitious?
I'll tell you something.
For things like happiness,
regardless of whether you let out a sigh or hold it in,
when it decides to leave,
you can't hold onto it
no matter how hard you try.
In fact, they don't leave one at a time.
They leave one after another, after another...
after another, after another... after another, after another...
All of them will line up and march away together.
All gone.
I'm no longer a happy person.
So what difference would it make
to let a few more bits of happiness slip away?
Anyway, after being dumped by that stupid pig,
the little bits of happiness
I worked so hard to accumulate since I was young
have formed a line and marched away one after the other.
Never mind what slipped away in the past.
But now, even my present happiness is being stripped away by that stupid pig.
I'm so stupid.
I should have snatched the phone away right then and said to Mr. Lian,
"This person beside me is joking.
Don't bother with him, he's really childish. "
Had I done that, everything would be fine now.
He might not have recognized Bu Po Shang's voice.
Yet I only said this to him in a message I left him days after.
He must have known
that what I said is a story I concocted over these few days.
Is he angry with me?
If you have any troubles, share it.
Don't coop it up in your heart, your heart will rot away.
Should I use the power of a talisman?
You're way over the top.
You're picking up the wrong things.
[LME Auditions Application Form] [Jiang Nan Qin]
Jiang Nan Qin jie jie is really pretty.
Yes, she is.
She'd be even prettier if she wasn't so fierce.
Fierceness and prettiness are unrelated.
An ugly person, however gentle, won't be any prettier.
Just take me as an example.
You're very pretty.
Why would you say that?
But I'm not happy.
Let's plan a celebratory party for Jiang Nan Qin jie jie, all right?
Celebrate?
What is there to celebrate?
Celebrate her becoming an actress.
That's right, Qin is now officially an actress.
Her dream has always been to become a great actress.
She has now taken a huge step closer to her dream.
But I'm here tending to my own business instead of being happy for her,
what a terrible friend I am.
- Come. - Where to?
To buy a present for her.
But I don't know what she likes.
Call her and ask her.
No, that would be silly.
I don't even know her exact birth date.
It's written here!
It is!
There's even an address!
Come, let's head to her home!
Okay.
Erm... that...
Should we leave the dog at home to guard the house?
Okay.
It's hot outside.
Okay. Let's go.
It's so exciting.
Aren't we like private investigators now?
Indeed, almost seems so!
I missed you, Lian!
I missed you too.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
Lian, why are you at the company today?
For a meeting.
Not to visit me?
He's indeed angry at me.
Erm... about...
Mr. Lian, sorry about last time.
That...
I listened to your phone message.
He really is childish.
But that has nothing to do with you so there's no need for you to apologize.
So... you're no longer angry?
Yes, I'm not angry.
That smile...
he's lying.
So...
did you and that childish person enjoy working together?
Huh?
You went there to mess things up, right?
What do you mean?
- For revenge. - Revenge?
Wasn't it for revenge that you participated in Bu Po Shang's MV?
You how did you know I participated in his MV?
He said so over the phone.
How did you know it was him?
I met him before.
That's right.
In fact, he's the only person in the entertainment circle
who dares to challenge Dun He Lian.
That horrible stupid pig.
It's all his fault. I'm going to kill him.
So, how did the revenge go?
I...
I didn't accept that assignment just for revenge.
Also, I didn't ruin his MV,
although that was my original intention.
It really wasn't for revenge?
Of course not.
Aye... how is that possible?
I'm quite innocent.
I merely found that assignment to be quite interesting.
I took it up because it seemed interesting.
Okay.
As of now, it is roughly like this.
Are there any questions or opinions from your end?
We're fine with the dates and times.
As for the content...
Lian?
Is this the finalized script?
Mr. Lian, are you dissatisfied in some way?
I'm asking if this is the finalized script.
This is merely the first draft to be used for discussion purposes.
Please feel free to provide feedback on this script you have in your hands.
Mr. Lian do you have some thoughts to express?
That's fine.
I will use this script to hold a meeting and discuss with my company.
Erm... I'm sorry. In that case...
once we've thoroughly discussed it, I will get in contact with you, all right?
- Okay. - Thank you.
What's with you today?
What do you mean?
Why that attitude?
As your manager I must remind you
that you were way too rude today.
Yeah.
Yeah?
So, what exactly is wrong with the script?
I need to think it over.
This idea was proposed a long time back.
You even gave the go-ahead previously.
Now that the script is released
and is written according to our communicated feedback,
you...
Are you angry over Gong Xi's matter?
Work is a separate matter, don't drag others into this.
Let's go over the script again.
No problem.
But I would like to discuss Gong Xi right now.
What is this revenge all about?
You knew all along that Bu Po Shang and her have a special relationship?
What exactly is Gong Xi's relationship with Bu Po Shang?
Why are you fuming?
Am I angry?
What took you so long?
I'm sorry.
Did you see that?
He kissed Qin jie jie!
Fine, I'll forgive you.
Let's go there.
I wish Qin would feed me hotdogs like that too.
I wish Lian would feed me hotdogs like that too.
Wow...
I've never seen Qin smile so sweetly before.
So Qin has a boyfriend.
That looks so beautiful.
What is it?
Chartres Cathedral?
Oh.
Look at that window, isn't it beautiful?
It's all because of you that Qin doesn't need me.
Ouch!
What's wrong?
What hit you? Let me take a look.
Gong Xi jie jie you're good.
What kind of magic is that?
So that person carries so much weight in Qin's heart.
As long as Qin is happy, it doesn't matter if I come second.
Although I will feel a little lonely if that's the case.
Gong Xi jie jie quick, hide!
- What for? - Quick!
Quick, hide!
Why did Qin change into a new set of clothing?
- I'm so sorry. Okay. - Hurry and get into the car.
And who is that?
That uncle seems quite old.
Could it be her dad?
He seems wealthy.
Yeah? It's her Dad?
I was thinking along the lines of sugar daddy.
Sugar daddy? I know what that is!
Why do kids these days mature so fast?
What are adults teaching them?
Eh? Who's talking about me?
Where did she go?
Please have a look at the menu.
- It looks to me
- Was it delicious? - It looks to me
- Was it delicious? - like Qin must be a wealthy young miss.
That was such an expensive car.
How bad of her to have kept it from me.
I want to know how people in high society live too.
Every night they must be holding a ball at some huge mansion,
dancing gracefully adorned with bling bling.
Cha cha, cha cha.
Pong cha cha Pong cha cha
- Xiao Xi, table 3 wants to order. - Okay.
Hello.
Eat up the fish all right?
I don't want fish.
The fish here is quite good, try it.
Fish is simply fish.
They all taste horridly the same.
Aye... just pretend you fell for it, will you?
Try one bite.
I'll beat you up into a pulp if it doesn't taste nice, bad Dad.
Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua, what's wrong?
She's your friend?
And who is Xiao Hua?
That's suspiciously strange.
Which one of them was Qin's father?
Both dads were very different.
Plus, when Qin was with the different dads,
her clothing and makeup, as well as her manner of speech were so different.
Oh, I should just ask her.
No I can't, she'll find out I was tailing her.
But... it'll be weird if I don't ask.
After all our eyes did meet yesterday in the restaurant.
Qin,
what a coincidence it was yesterday.
I didn't know that you and your dad speak so casually to each other.
How the h*ll is it any of your business?
Seems like the Love Me Department's two member indeed can't get along.
I feel that No. 1 must extremely hate No. 2.
But don't you think that No. 1 is actually quite cute?
No. 2 has passable acting skills but is very hard to get along with.
- Am I... No. 1? - That's strange.
Isn't No. 2 supposed to be acting today?
Why is she at the company?
Must have gotten replaced I guess.
In her heart I'm indeed second.
Come, Gong Xi let's go through the outline for later.
Okay.
I'll give you a copy of the outline.
Why...
did I come here?
Why...
do I care about Gong Xi?
Haven't I always been the independent woman
who only cared about my own survival?
Why?
How the h*ll is it any of your business?
Qin.
These are my elder brother, his wife and their five children.
My second eldest brother, his wife and their four children.
My elder sister is divorced so she moved back home with her three children.
The remaining people are my four younger brothers and sisters.
These are my family.
My life consists of being constantly hounded by these sixteen children.
They are like leeches, clinging to me every day and asking me to play with them.
Once we start, it never ends.
Sometimes although I'm exhausted from work,
they still wouldn't let me off.
So I have to expend a lot of energy in order to get back to my room.
So this is the kind of life you lead each day.
No wonder you handle kids differently.
I mess them around every day,
but they love it.
I've never understood what's so wrong with it.
It's not that funny.
Go to sleep.
I'm so excited I can't sleep.
This is the first time I'm staying over at your house
and I even get to sleep so close to you!
Let's chat.
Let's chat about stuff girls always like to talk about.
Are you trying to play little girl games with me?
You're so smart!
Let's exchange secrets.
I don't want to.
Please, just one will do.
I'll be satisfied with one.
I'll sleep very soundly after.
Please?
Okay, just one.
All right.
Shoot.
Hmm...
How did you and your boyfriend meet?
I don't have a boyfriend.
How can that be?
Who is that guy who accompanied you to the theme park?
How did you know about that?
I just...
happened to see it.
Fine, since I've already promised to share one secret with you.
You know how my family has many mouths to feed?
Yes.
So I have to work to help cover the expenses.
That was me doing my job.
Going to the theme park with that guy
is your job?
Yes. Also, that...
guy I was eating with whom you thought was my father, it's the same.
You're an... escort?
No!
Role playing.
I don't get it.
That guy at the theme park is being constantly harassed by a girl,
so he wanted me to pretend to be his girlfriend so the girl would give up on him.
And that uncle from the bar,
his daughter passed away two years ago in a car accident.
He misses her very much
that's why he occasionally hires me to pretend to be his daughter,
to eat and meet up with him.
Oh.
Then it's probably the same with that guy with the expensive car.
I'm in need of money;
therefore, this kind of job is as perfect as a gift from the heavens.
I can take advantage of role playing to polish my acting skills.
You're polishing your acting skills even while you're working?
Yes.
In fact, for each role I do my homework
by reading up on the details and watching movies to figure out ideas.
For example the uncle at the bar, his daughter always spoke to him rudely.
Oh... so that was why you spoke in that manner.
This is the very first time I am sharing this with someone.
Qin, thank you for sharing your secret with me.
Whenever I sing this song
Now it's your turn.
My turn?
Yes, a secret of yours...
My heart races, it still feels deeply touched
I don't really have any secrets.
I've never left you
I won't forget that you're still waiting
Okay, never mind.
For our shared future
(Reminiscing memories)
(I just can't seem to quit laughing)
(Dissing and ditching, getting caught cheating, and then we still be chilling)
I'm a terrible friend.
(Us living in only our world)
Qin told me her secret
(Cuz that's all we could afford)
yet I can't bring myself to share mine with her.
(Everyday a different way We looked at life more than words could say)
(Growing up, I won't forget)
(Cuz those... were the days)
Thank you for today.
You are always with me in my dreams
We must stay together even as years pass
Opening up a can of coke to share
Qin thanked me.
That's nice.
just like now, never to grow apart
To her, I must be at least a helpful friend.
I hope that one day,
Perhaps failures are unavoidable
I'll be able to find the courage to be as honest as Qin was today,
and share my deepest secret with her without holding back at all.
Even if we are not everyone's number one
Dear Heavenly Father, please grant me courage.
I don't need a lot, just a little will suffice.
The world changes everyday
Just a little, enough for me to be an honest friend.
I don't want to regret, youth is fleeting
I want it only in my way
(Going on our separate ways)
I want it only in my way (We've never seen our future)
(Until now letting me go...)
This way please.
You're here.
Sir, you summoned me here this early in the day to...?
I've dug up all your past works last night
and went through them till 4am in the morning.
I haven't slept yet.
Oh.
I asked you here to talk about something.
Okay.
You've never had a single scandal.
Isn't that a good thing?
I imagine that being in this industry would lead to many girls flocking to you;
you can't even get rid of them.
Yet, I've never heard of you being in a relationship with anyone.
I'm not hoping for you to be a playboy
and start relationships with a string of women.
But if you continue to shut out relationships
and not let anyone into your heart,
you might think it is safe and no problems will arise,
however, you're terribly wrong.
You're losing tons of opportunities to get to understand women.
If you don't understand them, then you won't know what love is.
Sir, I'm not sure I understand...
what you're trying to say.
I'm saying...
you're really terrible at acting out emotional scenes.
As of now, your acting skills can still cover that up.
Although everyone else buys it, I don't.
I'm beginning to worry for your future in acting.
If this continues,
you will be found out eventually.
The audience will realize that behind those intense emotions in your eyes,
there's nothing, completely bare.
Television drama?
A remake of a mega drama from 20 years ago.
This is the largest production of the year.
Why would they invite a nobody like me to act in such a huge production?
Queen Records' Xu Yong Chun personally recommended you to Director Xu Fang.
After watching Bu Po Shang's MV,
the director's eyes lit up and he was impressed by you.
I've succeeded in using that stupid pig to springboard my career!
What stupid pig?
Oh, nothing.
I was saying, this is unbelievable.
I actually secured a role in a huge production
and the director is impressed by me.
Yes, you must be overjoyed.
There's something even better.
What is it? What is it? What is it?
The male lead is Lian.
Mr. Lian...
is the male lead?
Exec... Executive Shen,
pl... please let me
th... think it over first.
O... okay.
What should I do?
It wasn't easy for me to secure the role
as a wealthy young miss leading a princess's life in a drama.
I really want that role.
But the male lead is Mr. Lian.
That's terrifying.
The mere thought of acting with him is enough to make me pee in my pants.
It's Qin.
Perfect timing, I need her input on this.
However, such a terrible friend like me who hasn't told her my secret,
what right do I have to ask others for help?
I don't have that right.
What are you doing?
You scared me.
Qin.
Is anything the matter?
No.
Then I'm leaving. Goodbye.
Such...
Such a familiar atmosphere...
No...
Don't...
You seem troubled lately.
Is it because of Gong Xi?
Can you not associate everything with her?
I'm perceptive.
From the look on your face, it can't possibly be work-related.
Hey, having secured such a huge role you should be elated,
especially when it's a classic from 20 years ago that everyone knows of.
In particular, the love story was romantic to the core.
I can already imagine...
the millions of female fans falling crazily in love with you because of this drama.
The walls of their homes will be covered with posters of you.
Their computer backgrounds will have your face.
So it can't be due to work issues.
It must be related to Gong Xi.
Please...
She's a student.
So?
Little girls grow up quickly as the days go by.
Want to bet?
I dare say in a few short years,
Gong Xi will sparkle and burn more quickly than anyone would've predicted.
She'll mature and grow more and more beautiful.
While she's still a little girl in your eyes,
in a flash, someone will snatch her up and she'll become someone else's girl.
Hey!
Hey, the two girls inside are really weird.
One of them is sobbing away and they haven't sang a single song.
Two hours have already passed.
She must have gotten dumped.
I thought you were Bu Po's fan.
Isn't that a tad too much?
How could you have misunderstood me like that?
Finally, I've let it out.
I never would have guessed that you and Bu Po Shang had such a colorful past.
Take this opportunity
and sell him out to the gossip magazines.
Take him down.
No, I don't want to.
How long could gossip possibly last for?
One year? Or two years?
When everyone else gets tired of it,
I'll be left alone to deal with this grudge.
That cannot even compare to what I've sacrificed for him!
True... Two years will be letting him off too easily.
You've wasted so much time and money on him...
And my youth.
Youth is the single most precious thing to a woman.
Take on this drama.
Take on this drama and affirm your place in the entertainment circle.
Didn't you break into this industry just to get revenge on him?
Yes.
So treasure each and every opportunity.
As long as your popularity continues to soar and you become increasingly outstanding,
he will see you in a different light.
Right.
However, these are merely outcomes.
Regardless of your determination for revenge,
if you don't have the talent, you can't survive this industry, understood?
Yes.
Let me ask you this.
Do you think of him when you're acting?
No.
When I'm acting,
even the me who is speaking at that moment disappears.
That's how it should be.
As long as you're able to derive pure enjoyment from acting and do your best,
then that's enough.
Qin, thank you.
All right, stop crying.
An actor's face is her money-making tool.
Get your face back to its original condition.
Okay.
But...
what do I do about the situation with Mr. Lian?
The situation with him is kind of bizarre.
Yeah.
You already told him you didn't film Bu Po Shang's MV for revenge,
but he's still mad.
Yes.
He used to hate me a lot because I joined the entertainment industry just for revenge.
But this time I told him it wasn't for revenge, but he's still mad.
Is he jealous?
Could it be that he likes you?
All right.
Enough.
If it's not because he likes you then it's because he feels deceived.
My frozen heart won't open.
You blatantly did it for revenge but you adamantly denied it.
I never expected it to open.
This pounding sensation is called love.
Mr. Lian must feel that I lied to him.
I want to quickly flee,
but I can't seem to pull myself away.
What do I do?
That's the only plausible explanation.
I've forgotten how to love.
Actually, I technically am lying to him.
Something special
is slowly being revealed.
Seeing you smile,
At the beginning, I really was motivated by revenge when I accepted that MV.
I feel my heart trembling
Your words easily pierce me, making my chest constrict.
I should apologize to him.
Why do I keep feeling like nothing is enough to fill the nameless void in my heart?
Why should I be?
Didn't you already sincerely apologize?
There's no need for me to be angry anymore.
Why do I want you to listen to my feelings, regardless of whether I'm excited or lonely?
Yes.
I'll apologize sincerely.
Why have I started looking forward to having you behind me?
Mr. Lian will surely forgive me.
I can touch your gentleness when I need someone to rely on.
Why do my explanations sound like excuses?
I have no real reason for loving you.
Why do I keep feeling like nothing is enough?
No real reason.
Regardless of whether I'm excited or lonely...
This way I can happily accept this drama
without worrying about being embarrassed working with Mr. Lian later.
Yeah. I'll apologize to Mr. Lian.
Gong Xi.
What happened just now?
Are they filming a horror film?
That was terrifying. Why did Mr. Lian appear out of nowhere?
He scared me half to death.
That's strange.
Were they about to take the elevator?
They were there to take the elevator!
I'm such an idiot!!
Did you hear something?
Nope.
I'm sorry, Mr. Lian. I really did lie to you.
I'm sorry, please forgive me.
This way.
This is the bathroom?
Sir, the director is here.
My apologies, Sir, for the delay in coming to see you.
It's okay. I know you've been very busy lately.
Come sit in here.
What?
CEO Luo, I'm sure you've already heard about it.
For this remake of Dark Moon, I've decided to offer Dun He Lian the lead role.
It has to be Dun He Lian?
Yes.
Of all the actors, he's most suitable.
What if I tell you you cannot use Dun He Lian?
What?
I thought if I apologized, then Mr. Lian would surely forgive me;
but, why is it now...
I can't believe Gong Xi and Bu Po Shang were childhood lovers.
After all, the rooster was the one that Mr. Lian forgave that time.
He didn't know that the person inside that chicken head was me.
If he had known it was me, maybe he wouldn't have been so forgiving.
To Mr. Lian, I'm a natural-born nuisance.
I can't believe Bu Po Shang is that sort of guy.
People like that really do exist in this world.
There isn't a single star in the sky tonight.
It's pitch black.
It's beautiful... just like how I feel.
What am I doing?
Didn't I say I'd apologize sincerely?
Why am I thinking about the sky?
Is this guy meditating or something?
She's apologizing to him but he hasn't said a word.
What is he doing?
So...
I don't want to lose the trust you have in me.
Really?
What kind of reply is that?
Huh?
Please believe me.
Although at the beginning I really did plan to use him as a stepping stone
and that's why I accepted that job.
But, throughout filming,
I didn't have any filthy thoughts about revenge on my mind.
It's true.
While I was acting I didn't think about him at all.
Please believe me.
I believe you.
Huh?
I believe you.
If you truly only had revenge against Bu Po Shang on your mind,
you couldn't have successfully finished the shoot.
But, based on what I've heard,
everyone says your performance was great.
Therefore,
I believe that throughout that period, you worked hard at filming.
Good job.
Thank you.
Mr. Lian believes me.
Hey. It's nearly time.
It's time for work.
Okay.
We have to go.
Be careful going home by yourself.
Okay.
Bye.
Now I can accept Dark Moon...
without any worries and film the drama with Mr. Lian.
The part I'm playing is the second lead who ruins the main leads' relationship.
She's the daughter of a wealthy family.
Her name is...
What was her name again?
Director, drink some water.
He doesn't seem to be in good health.
Director, there's no problem.
Dun He Lian really wants to take on this role.
It doesn't matter how much Dun He Lian wants the role,
if the CEO is against it.
So then... what exactly did the CEO say?
He didn't state a reason, he just said he can't have that role.
What a dilemma.
Without Dun He Lian,
I don't feel confident I can film Dark Moon and have it surpass the old version.
I'm sorry.
I think it's despicable to eavesdrop from out there.
I know you're discussing a very serious topic, but for me to walk away...
is really impossible.
Plus what you're discussing happens to be something I care about it;
so I decided to be open and frank and come in here and sit down and listen.
Oh, also, the topic you're discussing directly pertains to me.
What do you mean?
Because I am...
Wei Xu.
Wei Xu?
Nice to meet you, Director.
I didn't expect our first meeting to be under these circumstances.
It's very unexpected.
A little...
First off, I must thank you, Director, for giving me this opportunity;
because it's been my dream all along to play the role of a wealthy young miss.
I can't believe I'm now taking a huge step towards my dream.
You're like Xu Fang.
You also want to film a remake of Dark Moon that surpasses the original, don't you?
Yes.
Don't waste your energy.
Sir, why are you so convinced that it will be a certain failure?
The drama hasn't started filming yet.
You know full well the reason I'm against it.
Because there's a flaw in my acting, is that it?
You think no matter how hard I work, I'll still ruin that character, right?
Because when I watch you in emotional scenes,
no matter which angle I view it from,
it's really superficial.
There's no depth whatsoever.
You've never actually loved anyone before.
Of course I've loved someone before.
I'm not asking you how many people you've dated before.
With all of them...
I genuinely put in a lot of effort, so...
I also cherished them a lot.
Let's revisit history for a moment.
When those girls left you, what did they all say?
"No matter how hard I tried,
I couldn't become the most important person in your heart. "
"I love you far more deeply than you love me. "
"Being with you only makes me feel more lonely. "
When those girls left,
you smiled as you watched them walk away, right?
Lian,
if you're truly involved in a relationship,
if you have truly fallen in love with a person,
when that person says she's leaving,
there's no way you could deal with it so calmly.
You should be scared out of your wits lose all rationality,
have no regard for your image and feel like you want to die.
Could you really perform a role like this one?
You'll definitely hit a bottleneck.
When you reach that point, all you can do is imitate the original version.
But you need to realize
that in imitating the original, you'll never be able to surpass it.
I absolutely won't imitate the original.
I know for a fact that...
I can use my true skills to successfully interpret this character.
It couldn't be...?
What's the problem?!
Could you please calm down?
No.
Look at this character. Look at it.
Wei Xu has a sister who is both beautiful and talented,
which causes her to feel inferior.
Since she was a child, she has always been an introvert.
One day, as a result of an accident, her face became scarred.
From that day forward, she never smiled again.
Her scarred face caused her inferiority complex to worsen significantly
and become an emotional burden too great to shoulder.
As a result, her inferiority complex became a sharp blade
with the point directed at Mei Yue, who was overcome with joy
over encountering the man of her dreams once again.
What kind of role is this?!
I thought I was playing the part of a wealthy young miss
who has always led the life of a fairy tale princess.
But in fact she's dark and gloomy.
I don't want to play this kind of part.
I don't want to!
You don't want to do it?
That won't do.
Do you realize?
To the male and female leads, Wei Xu is an extremely important character.
This part can't be played by just any actress.
In my mind, you're the only one who can outshine the Wei Xu from 20 years ago.
Is that true?
Yeah. Yes.
When I saw your performance in Bu Po Shang's MV, I had a gut feeling.
If it's you, then you can definitely outperform the Wei Xu from 20 years ago
because you have this aura
that's more evil than the devil and darker than darkness.
What?!
So you fell for my dark side?
That... that wasn't even acting.
I don't want to film this. I want to play a wealthy young miss.
- I don't want to... - Could you please reconsider?
We've already lost Dun He Lian.
If you quit as well...
You two are the actors I want most for these roles.
Director,
don't worry. I'll play this role.
But... the CEO...
Did CEO Luo agree to it?
Yes. Though it was with great reluctance,
he did say yes.
That's great.
Let's film this together.
Together, let's remake Dark Moon and surpass the original version.
Let's work hard.
[Dark Moon/An Yue: Acclaimed Classic, Majestic Adaptation]
Today, the press conference will be held for the launch of "Dark Moon,"
which is the new adaptation of An Yue.
After all, back in the day, An Yue caused quite a stir.
The remake of a hugely popular drama naturally draws a lot of attention.
Even Qing Jie, who played the female lead Wei Xu back then,
was hired by the studio for a large fee.
She will have a special cameo in Dark Moon, playing Wei Xu's mother.
Twenty years ago, Qing Jie had just debuted.
She shot to fame after taking on this role.
Now she is a well-known actress within the entertainment circle.
Everyone, Qing Jie is here for a visit.
This is Yi Mei, she'll be playing Mei Yue.
When I think
of the many opportunities I'll have to act with Qing Jie in the future,
- I feel nervous and happy at the same time.
- Hello, Qing Jie. - I feel nervous and happy at the same time.
I am Dun He Lian's manager. My surname is Du.
I never imagined that besides Lian,
I'd be able to work with such an impressive senior.
I'm sure that I can learn a lot from her.
So the famous Dun He Lian hasn't arrived yet; is that right?
He is upstairs doing an exclusive print interview. He'll be down shortly.
Wow. He is indeed a famous celebrity.
I declined all other activities
in order to prepare to participate in today’s press conference,
but he's able to multi-task?
My apologies.
It's an An Yue exclusive interview that the studio scheduled.
It can be considered a part of today's press conference.
Qing Jie, Dun He Lian will welcome any advice from you in the future.
Qing Jie. Qing Jie... hello. I'm Gong Xi.
It's a great honor to take on the role of Wei Xu.
Later during filming, please share your expertise.
Times really have changed.
Any stray dog or cat can be an actor now.
Compared to how it was during my time, the standards for selecting actresses...
have really deteriorated.
Didn't you prepare a private make-up room for me?
Yes, yes. It's right next door.
I'll take you there. Please come this way.
Hey.
No matter what, don't let Qing Jie's words get to you.
She always speaks bluntly and has a poisonous tongue.
I won't. I won't.
I definitely won't.
- This way please. - This way, Qing Jie.
Lian's interview should be just about over now.
Oh, right.
Why haven't I seen the director?
Oh. He said earlier that he was stepping out for some air.
Is he not feeling well today?
I couldn't help but notice that his coloring is off.
It is?
Don't you think Dark Moon's director looks kind of sickly?
It's probably because he looks timid,
so it seems like a gust of wind would blow him away.
Yeah. But he gets to direct such a big drama
because of that other reason, huh?
That's the only likely reason.
Otherwise, based on his work experience there's no way he'd get this job.
Director.
Huh? Gong Xi.
What's the matter?
Are you not feeling well?
No. I'm fine.
Are you nervous about the upcoming press conference?
A little bit.
I'm always the one filming other people.
When I think about how many people will be filming me shortly,
it feels a little weird to me.
You're nervous about being on TV?
Don't worry.
I'm confident that you will do well.
Yeah. Thanks.
The press conference will begin soon.
Okay, I know. You go over there first.
I want to sit here a while longer.
Okay, I'll go get ready first.
See you later.
During the past few days,
the director really has looked pale and haggard.
- I guess remaking a TV drama
- Let's work hard. - I guess remaking a TV drama
- Let's work hard. - that was so popular back in the day
- Let's work hard together. - that was so popular back in the day
puts a lot of pressure on the director.
I still remember that day,
the expression on the director's face was full of confidence.
But why is it that for the past few days he's been getting stranger and stranger?
In fact, besides the director,
there's another person who has also been behaving very oddly.
Today, the expression on his face is even more unfathomable than usual.
Am I over-thinking things?
Why do I keep feeling like he has the same expression on his face
as the director does?
Your interview is over?
Why are you standing out in here instead of going in?
Mr. Du is waiting for you inside.
Mr. Lian,
are you really nervous?
Because... I feel like the last few days your nerves are strained.
Today you seem especially aloof.
That's why... I'm asking you.
Nervous?
Am I the type of person...
who gets nervous?
Were you serious when you asked me that?
Of course... Of course not.
Of course not.
I was just joking.
I'm sorry. That was a stupid joke.
Obviously Mr. Lian has no reason to be nervous.
With your acting skills,
you can easily outdo Tian Ming's portrayal of Jia Yue back in the day.
What about you?
Me? What about me?
Regardless of whether it's nerves,
to some degree all of us are on edge about starting work on Dark Moon.
But to me you seem no different from usual.
I am. I'm different from usual.
I'm really happy about playing this role.
Who is referring to that?
What I meant is before,
you didn't want to accept the Wei Xu role and made a big fuss about it.
But now you look so carefree.
Is it because you already like and can relate to the Xu Wei character?
Or is it because you already know how to interpret it?
I...
I don't know.
Do you feel confident that you can outperform Qing Jie?
Seeing your "that thought just occurred to me now" expression,
is it possible that you never considered surpassing Qing Jie's Wei Xu?
If you have no plans to improve upon the role,
then what is your purpose behind accepting Dark Moon?
What's going on? Why are you both standing out here?
It's about to start, isn't it?
- Let me see the schedule again. - Sure.
I'm sorry.
You're right.
I wasn't resolute about improving upon the role.
[Dark Moon/An Yue: Press Conference]
Test out the flash.
Let's give a warm welcome to Dark Moon's director and main actors as they enter.
I must be honest and say that up until this very moment,
I'm not particularly fond of the Wei Xu character.
She's a far cry from my ideal image of a wealthy young miss.
But, I still really want to participate in the filming of the drama Dark Moon,
because this is a great opportunity.
To me, the purpose behind accepting this drama
is to see your acting skills for myself.
In order to film with you, I'm willing to challenge Wei Xu.

As a director who passed out during the press conference,
what right to do you have to say such words to me?
I have a pretty good idea what everyone thinks of me.
No.
I must continue to conceal this matter.
[Classic Drama An Yue Being Remade] [Newcomer Gong Xi and Dun He Lian Costarring]
It's over.
Wei Xu.
Huh?
Cut!
I'm sorry. Could you let me try that again?
Could it be that she doesn't know how to interpret the Wei Xu character,
so she ran off scared?
I don't think so.
I overheard her say,
"I've found my own Wei Xu. "
You're going to use this look to play Wei Xu?!
This Wei Xu is not the slightest bit introverted and antisocial.
She is instead a very arrogant young miss.
How should I interpret Jia Yue?
Let's work hard together.
