[Love begins with a chance encounter? Part 2]
At that time, I felt I couldn't marry you;
but I knew that you really wanted to get married.
That's why I made up the excuse of being anti-marriage.
Of course, I still have no regrets now.
Come on, how old are you?
I finally understand why you're a total failure
and you need to depend on my mom to have a job.
Within your heart there lives a little princess.
Oh, no.
An old princess...
The old princess keeps waiting and waiting,
waiting for the day Prince Charming rides up on his horse.
From then on, they'll live happily ever after.
Do you still have dreams like that?
Stop being foolish.
Jie*. (*polite form for elder female)
Hungry?
I'll buy you dinner.
Hey.
Don't use this as an excuse to diet
and then tattle on me when my mom comes back,
saying I didn't take good care of you.
Hey.
Are you... mad at me?
Or are you mad at that guy?
You followed me?
I was worried about you.
Jie, he's the one with bad taste.
I taught him a lesson for you already.
You think you've helped stick up for me by doing that?
A 30 year old woman who got dumped
after being humiliated, then sends someone to beat the guy up.
Do you think I'm not enough of a laughingstock?
You want me to look even worse in front of him?
Why do you care so much what he thinks?
Can't you be more confident?
What right do I have to be confident?
Age is like a knife.
It's every woman's Achilles' heel.
You'll never understand!
As the number of candles on the birthday cake increases one by one,
the opportunities to meet a suitable partner lessen with each year.
Love doesn't appear just because you try hard!
Does work bring me a sense of accomplishment?
It doesn't!
You saw today.
All I get is humiliation.
Go ahead and laugh at me.
Every word you said about me is true.
You must think this big sis of yours is useless.
Every time something happens, all I do is cry.
How many times has it been?
You always see me every time I cry.
Yeah.
Such a coincidence...
It seems I always come across you every time you cry.
Moreover, you always say next time you won't cry.
I'm not going to say that anymore.
I'll cry if I want to.
Someone who's a total failure has no reason to be resolute.
- Jie, don't be like this. - Get out.
Jie, don't be like this.
If you don't get out, then I will.
[ Rose, I like you. ]
Cut!
Check the video.
If it's okay, then let's wrap up.
- We're done. - Yes.
Thanks, everyone.
- Thank you. - Thank you, Director.
- Thanks, everyone. - Thank you.
- Hurry.
- Get changed. - Thank you.
We'll go thank Zhuo jie later.
Let's take a look.
I know Eason's acting isn't up to par yet, but it's only the first day.
Give him time to improve.
I think he can do it.
You're really going to make me say it out loud?
Zhuo jie, I understand your situation.
The leading man had an accident two days before filming
and you had to replace him.
But I didn't find out until I arrived on set
that you replaced him with a washed up singer.
If not for your relationship with my mother,
I would have refused to be in this drama.
I know that you're showing me respect.
I might as well be honest with you, too.
Wang Ming Ming, the writer, is the person who recommended Eason.
I have to consider the writer's opinion.
Please don't make it difficult for me.
Basically you're telling me
that between the writer and me, you've chosen her?
That's not what I meant at all.
Zhuo jie, I won't make it hard for you.
We've only filmed for one day.
If I quit now, you won't suffer too big of a loss.
Pei Ni, don't be like this.
Let's talk it over.
There are only two options in this situation.
The first, I continue filming but you replace Eason.
The second, you can keep the writer and Eason and I'll leave.
Of course I want to keep you.
I'll immediately contact top male stars you'll be satisfied with to replace Eason.
Let's do this. This way, we can reach a compromise.
Give me five episodes.
I'll have the writer kill off Eason in the 5th episode.
Starting with episode 6, we'll switch to the new leading man.
How does that sound?
Since you're a total failure, then what do you have to lose?
Muster up the courage to face all the humiliation and then defeat it.
As long as you don't abandon your faith in happiness,
I believe that something good will happen.
Jie, you can do it!
I'll be on the sidelines cheering you on.
Forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Perhaps the best part of being a total failure
is that you no longer have anything left to lose.
In that case, what do I still have to fear?
Maybe something good really will happen if I believe in happiness.
- Thanks. - Thanks.
Thanks.
Is this how it is?
Is this really how it is?
Life is like a drama.
Drama imitates life.
I never imagined that what occurred next
would ever happen to me.
Love always appears unexpectedly.
When you're in the most awkward position...
When you're feeling completely panic-stricken...
When you feel as if your life has withered away at 30 years of age...
Love arrives.
Sorry. Sorry.
It's you.
Do you live nearby?
Yeah.
I was hungry so I came to buy something to eat.
But then it started raining.
How about you?
Me?
Dodging the rain...
I'm glad I ran into you.
I was just thinking
I don't know when I'll have the opportunity to apologize to you.
Why are you apologizing?
Yesterday on the set,
I accidentally mistook you for a fan posing as a wardrobe lady.
I was just trying to scare off a crazy fan.
I had no idea you're the scriptwriter.
That was embarrassing.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I'm the one who was embarrassing.
I wonder when the rain will stop.
If you don't mind, we can leave together.
Let's go.
Be careful.
Seeing your smile,
Careful. Careful.
Here. Cover yourself first.
No fear of being besieged by others.
Not listening to anyone's advice.
Escape into my embrace and be shielded from all storms.
In all this world, who understands my tears better than you?
I should love you. We'll become a couple that people envy.
Holding your hand, we come and go amidst a sea of people.
You live here?
Yeah.
Thanks for walking me home.
Sorry. Sorry.
I might be catching a cold.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault for getting you completely drenched.
Don't worry about it.
It's more important that you don't catch a cold.
If you catch a cold and the drama production is affected, then what?
Are you all right?
Th... this is a change of clothes.
See if it fits.
I... I'm going to continue writing the script.
What am I doing?
Wang Ming Ming, stop letting your mind run wild.
This coincidental meeting just now was nothing more than a coincidental meeting.
You're a scriptwriter.
He's your actor.
You're just coworkers in a professional setting.
Please call forth a semblance of professionalism, would you?
May I come in?
Yes.
I'm really curious
about the environment in which Fang Meng and Rose were created.
Sorry. I'm acting like a fanboy.
Am I bothering you?
N... no.
Actually the first 4 episodes are done.
I just have to tweak them.
You know scriptwriters are perfectionists.
So your boyfriend must be very perfect too.
I... I don't have a boyfriend.
You know the modern female is married to her job.
You're not lonely by yourself?
I don't have time to be lonely.
I...
I enjoy my work too much.
Actually, living within the romance of an idol drama is pretty nice.
It's just that in real life, where can you find such a great leading man?
Longing is like a monsoon rain.
Once it begins, there's no way to stop it.
To forget someone who matters not, I merely turn away.
But to forget you,
I must first forget myself.
What is he doing?
Saying these words and staring at me like this,
what does it mean?
Episode 2, scene 18, am I acting it out okay?
Y... yes.
Your script is full of touching lines like those.
Today on the set, I didn't stick up for your script
and allowed people who don't understand its essence to insult your hard work.
I deserve to die.
Do you love Fang Meng?
Huh?
Do you love Fang Meng?
Of course.
I... If I didn't love him, how could I write well?
Teacher Ming Ming...
May I call you that?
I will start coming frequently to see you to discuss the script
because I want to get into character as quickly as possible.
No, I want to become Fang Meng as soon as possible.
Trust me.
I will become the Fang Meng that you wrote.
Your Fang Meng.
I'm sorry.
I think I've bothered you for long enough.
It's getting late. I'll head out.
This...
Oh!
I... I was planning to return it to you.
I forgot.
Sorry.
Is this your size?
Huh?
Sit.
It fits.
Then let's consider this shoe my introductory gift to you.
I'll bring the other shoe over later, so this single lonely shoe can become a pair.
If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving.
See you next time.
How was it? How was it?
Give me five episodes.
I'll have the writer kill off Eason in the 5th episode.
Starting with episode 6, we'll switch to the new leading man.
How does that sound?
Hey. Aiya! Eason!
Eason, listen to me.
What's the use of talking to the queen of dramas?
That will just speed up you getting replaced.
Calm down.
Since the scriptwriter recommended you, then you need to work on her.
Didn't you say you ran into her in the dressing room today?
She looked all flushed and excited.
Use that to your advantage.
Your observation was correct.
She says she doesn't have a boyfriend.
I knew it.
Plus, even more outrageous, is that her house is full of HE paraphernalia.
Posters, CD... And she even has that photo book that didn't sell.
Good thing we waited outside her apartment all last night.
And good thing there was heavy rain last night.
I'm betting the pretty boy trick was effective?
It was effective, but...
But what?
It would be one thing if she were a horrid woman;
but, she's an unbelievably innocent girl.
Does this seem right?
Honestly, I feel kind of bad.
You feel bad?
I won't force you then.
But, you might as well not film if you're going to get killed off after five episodes.
Who is it?
Madam Landlady...
I've finally caught you two.
Last night, I knocked so many times; but you didn't answer.
What? You're trying to dodge late rent?
I'm not hiding.
Last night was because...
Cut the crap.
The papers report that your street stall sales are good.
You owe me 3 months' rent. Pay up!
Aiya... Madam Landlady, you don't know.
My Eason's business is going well,
but all his income goes towards wardrobe expenses.
Also, did you know?
There's a new idol drama and he's the leading man.
Leading man?
You've got all sorts of excuses.
You're not afraid to spout nonsense.
Who wants to watch a has-been celebrity?
Madam Landlady, please don't be disrespectful.
Am I not polite enough already?
If I weren't polite, I'd have evicted him ages ago.
First, you said he'd be the spokesperson for a shopping channel.
Next, it was some body wash ad.
Come on.
Don't you get replaced every single time?
This time is different.
I won't get replaced this time.
Hey!
What are you doing?
You want to use unsold shoes as collateral?
This stuff is just to keep your mouth shut.
Just wait.
When I get advance pay from signing the contract next week,
I'll pay you 6 months' rent in one go.
Who wants your lousy shoes?
I'm telling you, if you don't pay rent then get ready to live on the streets!
You!
Remember how all these people treated you and use it as a source of strength.
I know you're a kind-hearted boy,
but the world is a pragmatic place.
Eason.
That female scriptwriter is probably the only person who can help you this time.
Good morning, Sleeping Beauty.
I dreamt about you last night.
Who is this?
This is Eason.
I washed the clothes I borrowed last night and want to return them to you.
I'll be on the set this afternoon.
Are you willing to stop by to see your Fang Meng?
Tong Shao Tian!
Hey. How dirty can our apartment be?
It hasn't even been 48 hours since you last cleaned.
It's not like you don't know me.
How could I wait until it's a disaster before I start cleaning?
Cheesy.
I'm no famous writer
but I've seen this trick of yours done way better on TV.
Hey, have you reconciled?
Reconciled what?
I didn't fight with you.
I'm not mad at you.
I know.
I'm asking if you've reconciled with yourself.
I didn't have an identity crisis,
so there's nothing to be angry about.
But, as you stated so fortuitously, something good did happen to me last night.
Really?
What happened?
Not telling you!
All right.
I have to go to the set for a meeting later.
You really are busy.
Do you need me to drive you?
I was on my way out.
Don't even try it.
You want to sneakily follow me?
Oh please.
I don't have that much extra time to follow you.
I have an appointment with some colleagues to discuss work.
We have plans to start a website that's better than Youku.
Oh, really?
I'm serious.
Hello, Teacher?
Huh?
What?!
No!
No! No! No!
Teacher, I don't dare.
Hello? Hello?
What's the matter?
She said the Singapore drama is about to start so she's not coming back.
She told me to finish up "The Season Rose Blooms" on my own.
That's impossible!
You can do it!
This is the situation, Zhuo jie.
After leaving, I re-read Eason's contract again.
I discovered that there is no clause about guaranteed hours.
Even without an hours clause,
didn't you happily sign the contract at the time?
Yes. Yes.
We were so happy that I missed this minor detail.
It was my fault. I was negligent.
That's why I think we should add this guaranteed hours clause.
What do you think?
If I feel it's unnecessary, will you refuse to film?
No. No. No.
That wouldn't happen.
We're ecstatic to have this opportunity.
It's just that I... I...
If signing or not signing doesn't affect our collaboration
then let's have Eason make the most of this comeback opportunity.
Okay.
Xiao He, see my guest out.
This way...
Thank you.
Zhuo jie, so after five episodes, does Eason have no more scenes?
Says who?
At least in the scripts you've received,
Fang Meng is the lead for this drama, right?
Yes, that's right.
Then everything is fine.
How could a drama continue without a leading man?
Don't waste your energy on silly rumors.
Perform well.
If you perform well and the role becomes popular, then it's yours.
No one can steal it from you.
Right. Right.
You're right.
Sorry to inconvenience you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Xiao He, how are the calls going?
Ouyang Cheng has arrived in Taipei.
I've set up a meeting for you with him this evening.
Good.
So in episode 5, Fang Meng will be killed off?
Is that the final decision?
Zhuo jie seems to be still undecided.
Otherwise, when I asked her straight out,
why wouldn't she have made her intentions clear?
Besides, filming has already started.
Which top tier star will want to come on as a last minute replacement lead?
That doesn't make sense.
However...
However, what?
What I'm imagining probably isn't happening.
I'm sure
Zhuo jie has a lot of connections and tons of friends, right?
She just made casual dinner plans with someone.
That's perfectly normal.
Yes, that must be it.
I'm thinking too much.
What are you mumbling to yourself?
Nothing. Nothing.
In any case,
we're working the right angle.
We'll start on...
Start on the scriptwriter.
That plan will work.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
Don't go.
I already cannot be separated from you,
though this happiness feels unreal and may be shattered at any moment.
Let me go!
A flower in full bloom
will still have its time of wilting.
Cut!
A flower in full bloom will still have its time of wilting!
Cuuut!
A flower in full bloom will still have its time of wilting.
Cut! Geez!
A flower in full bloom will still have its time of wilting.
Cut! Cut! Cut!
A flower in full bloom will still have its time of wilting!
- Cut! - Huh?
I'm sorry, Director.
I can't take it anymore.
I'm completely drained of all emotions.
I can't continue to film with this kind of an actor.
Sure, it's no problem.
You go and take a break.
Take a break!
- Take a break! Take a break. - Take a break! Take a break.
I'm sorry, Pei Ni.
You should be sorry.
But the person you should apologize most to isn't me, but yourself.
You can't even convey the simplest emotion.
Do you really think that landing a lead role will guarantee a successful comeback?
That's pathetic.
Don't go right now.
Give him some time alone.
It's hard on him.
You must know how famous HE used to be.
Thank you.
Henry was H and Eason was E.
Back in the day, the band HE was idolized by so many people.
I know...
because for a long period, I used to be moved by their songs.
Back then, I was the advertising person at their record studio.
I was also a loyal fan.
Everywhere HE went, they were surrounded by applause.
Compared to our current plight, that was really the height of their fame.
Pity an idol's life is inevitably short.
Plus the record industry wasn't doing well.
They had released a mere five albums when they were quickly replaced by new idols.
Henry's family is wealthy.
He announced his retirement from the industry and opened a nightclub.
But Eason didn't have that kind of background.
He was young back then and didn't know to save money.
He didn't have any special talents.
What could he do?
I jumped in to help him.
Initially, the residual fame led to a few jobs;
but later, even those stints dried up.
People didn't notice him on streets.
Without any income, Eason had to move into a small attic apartment.
I encouraged him to wait for a comeback opportunity.
During this time we did our best to make ends meet.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you how terrible Eason felt.
But, at least he's practical.
He was even willing to be a street vendor.
Seeing him like that made my heart ache even more.
Now the opportunity has finally come.
But the more it matters to him, the more he worries about possible outcomes.
I heard from Zhuo jie that you recommended him.
Teacher Ming Ming,
are you willing to help him more and encourage him?
I'm sorry.
I used a lame excuse to get you to come visit the set.
You ended up seeing me embarrass myself.
Actually, yesterday was wretched for me too.
But, someone said to me,
"Since you're so wretched already, then there's nothing left to lose. "
I'll lend that line to you now.
What?
Since you have nothing to lose, then there's nothing to fear.
The Fang Meng I wrote is brooding and sometimes conflicted;
but he's definitely brave.
He isn't so easily beaten.
Didn't you promise me that you'd become the real Fang Meng?
You wouldn't lie to me, right?
Hello?
Yes, Zhuo jie?
The location has changed?
Okay.
Yes. Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Okay, I'll be right over.
I have an appointment with Zhuo jie.
I can't be late.
You can do it!
You have to become my Fang Meng.
Her words...
produced a wonderful and extremely powerful energy inside my heart.
Later, I gradually came to realize that for certain things,
if it's wrong from the start, even if you spend all of your energy,
there's no way for it to be redeemed.
However, at that moment I hadn't thought of that.
The only thing I remembered was that I still owed her something.
Eh?
Hey! What is it?
Are you here to pay rent?
Hey! Hey!
What are you doing?
I'm telling you, all this stuff is mine.
If you don't pay rent, all these shoes are mine.
Aiya!
What are you doing?!
Those are mine! Put them down!
If you can't pay rent, then these are all mine.
M... mine!
Hey! Thief!
Thief!
This megastar requires no introductions.
After much begging and pleading, Ouyang has agreed to join in filming
"The Season Rose Blooms," starting with the 6th episode.
Ouyang...
Mr. Ouyang...
Huh?
Sorry, I was up all night.
Okay, where were we?
I was just saying that you finally agreed
to join in filming "The Season Rose Blooms" starting with episode 6.
I really look forward to collaborating with Pei Ni again.
Oh, writer... writer...
- Writer... - This is our writer, Miss Wang Ming Ming.
Hello.
Hello. Hello.
We'll rely on you for the script.
What does that mean?
Let's sit and chat.
- Everyone, sit. - Have a seat.
Ming Ming, sit by me.
How could one drama have two leading men?
Ouyang joins us in episode 6,
so Fang Meng has to be killed off in episode 5.
Do I need to teach you how to do it?
At the time, we were in a rush to begin filming so we were forced to use Eason.
But his performance is a major letdown.
I greatly look forward to working with you.
But, aren't you still filming a movie in Japan?
Yes. I should be finished in about a month.
That's okay. I can wait.
Our drama is not under a broadcast time deadline.
We only need to sign the contract...
Woah...
But, before the contract is finalized,
please don't publicly announce that I've signed onto this drama yet.
I know that.
With you and Pei Ni in this drama it's bound to be a hit.
Okay.
Well, everything sounds great.
All right, I'll be heading out then.
Continue to enjoy your meal, drinks, and conversation.
Pei Ni, I'm leaving.
Scriptwriter, I look forward to your work.
Okay, goodbye.
Bye. Bye.
Goodbye.
I already spoke with the restaurant staff
and arranged for you to leave on the service elevator.
Don't worry. There won't be any paparazzi.
Okay.
Bye.
Take care.
How's that, Pei Ni?
Are you satisfied with this one?
Do you have any opinion on Ouyang Cheng's new character?
The scriptwriter is here, so you should ask her.
I found out about it just now, so...
So that's why I'm giving you two days.
In two days, I expect to have the revised episode 5 script.
Remember, Fang Meng must die.
But the rest of the plot has already been constructed.
Going back now and changing episode 5
and killing off Fang Meng will completely change the story.
Teacher won't agree to this.
Just focus on writing.
In regards to Yan jie, I've already let her know.
She said she respects my opinion on all of it.
In episode 5, you need to figure out a way
for Ouyang Cheng to make an appearance.
Rose must fall in love with him, because from there on out,
the Fang Meng character will cease to exist.
- Director? - Yes?
Are you all right?
As long as Fang Meng dies, I'll be all right.
In episode 5, you need to figure out a way
for Ouyang Cheng to make an appearance.
Rose must fall in love with him, because from there on out,
the Fang Meng character will cease to exist.
Now the opportunity has finally come.
Teacher Ming Ming, are you willing to help him more and encourage him?
How do I help you?
Can I help you?
Who is it?
Delivery.
I didn't order delivery.
But this is the address written here.
Is it?
Why is it you?
I'm not welcome?
No.
Of course you're welcome.
Welcome.
Hey. What are you doing?
I'm not bothering you, am I?
No.
Or, you're not actually doing your homework.
No, I'm fixing the script.
Then are you willing to accept my unannounced inspection?
I'll take a look.
Come, don't be embarrassed. Let me see.
- No. - Let me see.
Sit down.
Fine.
Actually, yesterday when I was reading the script at home,
I couldn't sleep.
I wanted to come over and discuss it with you.
Do you know?
I really want to know what happens after episode 4.
Plus, after Fang Meng and Rose live together,
what will happen between them?
Especially Fang Meng's parts...
Can you divulge a little bit to me?
Should I tell him that Fang Meng is going to die?
In episode 5...
Can Eason handle that big of a blow?
- Eason... - In fact, I'm scared.
Scared of what?
I'm really scared...
that Fang Meng's destiny will be the same as HE.
The fireworks were dazzling at the beginning,
but they only lasted for a brief moment.
After that, they were gone.
I don't know if everyone is like this,
always worrying about possible outcomes.
When things are going smoothly, you stress about how long it'll last.
And then you worry, when the good times end, will disappointment be all that awaits you?
I have no idea why I think like that.
Do you know?
I even dreamt that Fang Meng suddenly dies in the drama.
I won't let Fang Meng die.
