April Star Episode 37
Si Yue. Let me tell you a good news.
Our superior, Ye Zhi Meng, has requested three additional shows.
Really? This is great.
If we can make an appearance on Fan Xing's show,
Then we would be able to advertise the show more.
Good idea.
I'll tell her to invite our show's stars to A Date with Fan Xing.
Next week, let's use the topic of contestants who have been on singing competitions in the past.
So how?
I approve.
I think this topic is good too.
Because there's a lot of people who are reminiscing about their past.
That's right.
These contestants have already changed a lot.
I think there that it's worth looking at.
Okay. Then I'll be charge of contacting Zam.
Okay, it's agreed then.
That's the main topic. The secondary topic,
I have a selfish request.
I want to use my show, A Midsummer Night's Dream.
This is good. This topic is very popular right now.
Of course I really want to use A Midsummer Night's Dream.
But because it's our Director Dennis' show,
It's not appropriate to recommend on the show.
I don't think it has too much to do with the fact that I'm the director, does it?
Also, this show also has a lot of topics we can cover.
There is a major connection. Think about it.
There's so many people in Showtime watching our group.
People will say that we are abusing our power for personal reasons and question why we are promoting A Midsummer Night's Dream.
How will we explain if they say that we are promoting the show only because we have a good relationship with the director?
But the entertainment circle is really focusing on A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Okay. If my show wasn't popular and didn't have any topics to cover, then I wouldn't suggest it.
But, it's really popular.
But, it's really not the most popular.
So, before it becomes the only thing people can talk about,
We should wait.
Okay then. We will wait. We will continue to wait
When this topic is stolen by another group,
There will be no point if we do it then.
I think that we could do this topic.
If someone else uses it first, then we follow,
Then it won't be fresh anymore.
I agree, Fan Xing sister. Let's try it for a week.
What does everyone think?
Yes.
-Okay, I support everyone's decision. -Thank you, Anchorwoman.
Thank you.
What are you thinking?
I haven't asked you yet.
You rashly burst into here.
Why did you approve of that show? Why are you advertising it everywhere?
What? Is it not allowed?
-Because that show is- -What is it?
Forget it. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand.
In any regard, don't meddle with that show anymore.
I will meddle with whatever I like. There is no need for you to control me.
Aren't you acting foolishly?
You really are never able to assist me in anything.
You always cause more trouble for me.
You.
There is a problem with this script.
What? What's the problem with this script?
Didn't we want to promote A Midsummer Night's Dream/
Then why are we asking about an actor's private life?
Oh.
The play script writes what is needed to be said.
Then write the script needed for your play.
If you continue asking about the actor's personal life, the actor will be uncomfortable.
I don't think so.
Let's just proceed according to this script.
Aside from this, there is also something else.
The actor who plays Chu Yan's sister, Wen Jing,
Whether on fame or professionalism, is superior to April.
We must consider her feelings.
She's a veteran actor, someone who has been in the industry.
So, we must emphasize her portion.
Fan Xing sister, after we invite both actors,
Then we cannot neglect one of them.
Also, the weight of their interviews are the same.
Okay. Even if their allotted time is the same, we must differentiate between the main and secondary position.
We must favor the actor who is more famous.
I don't think so. Let's proceed according to the script.
Okay.
In any regard, I am the interviewer and it will be live. I will make some changes at that time.
Okay. Then cut out my Midsummer Night's Dream portion then.
Find another guest to fill up that hour.
Fill it up.
Wait a moment.
I'm going to get a drink of water.
Hey.
You scared me.
What's the matter? You appear distracted.
Has Dennis offended Fan Xing?
Dennis? What's the matter with him?
Dennis has always wanted to promote his new show on our program.
But Fan Xing would think of different ways to not approve it.
That shouldn't be. Aren't they the perfect partners?
His new show? Are you talking about A Midsummer Night's Dream?
Yes. You don't know,
But the atmosphere in that meeting was very uncomfortable.
Dennis actually lost his temper.
Dennis.
So? What of it?
Now, listeners can request their favorite songs.
If you have any songs that you would like to hear, please leave your requests on Fan Xing's Melody website.
Let's see
Which listeners would like to listen to which beautiful melodies.
This listener called Music, left me a comment saying,
Hello, Anchorwoman Ye. Can you play
Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee?
This is Pierre Fournier's cello version.
Of course it's not a problem. Let's listen to this together.
Why are you hiding from me?
Is there a reason that you are avoiding me?
Don't tell me you're afraid of me?
Fan Xing. Are you sure you want to allow April onto your show?
If you don't, then you can tell Director Deng.
This is my program.
There's no need to worry.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by April Star Volunteer Team @Viki.com
So many people like you now. You must have had some troubles when you were new to the industry.
Do you mind sharing a little with us?
I believe that Anchorwoman Ye also had quite a few troubles then.
Starting is hard. I hope our experiences don't scare people off.
I hope everyone will have the courage to face a new future, a new start.
Si Yue,
the guest is on their last question, you should get ready and head over.
Ok.
Next, let's introduce our next guest.
Recently, the show A Midsummer Night's Dream has caused quite a stir.
Today it's our pleasure to have the two main leads
tell us a story about sisters.
Miss Wen Jing, hello.
Miss Min Si Yue,
hello.
Please have a seat.
A Midsummer's Night Dream has been very popular recently. I heard that a few more shows were added, am I right?
Correct, we were also surprised, but we're very happy about it.
I heard that it's Miss Min Si Yue's first time performing.
Yes, it's always been my dream to be on a stage.
Just like how your show said,
the bigger the world, the farther to dream,
this phrase encourages me every day.
So our show helped you a lot?
That's correct. Didn't the show in the past also help me find my biological parents?
I really feel that this show and I
have some fate together.
Hey hey hey, this isn't on the script.
Sister Fan Xing, don't listen to her
Just continue with the script.
Miss Wen Jing, I heard that you took a break before you took on this role.
Correct.
After I came out with 5 works in a row, I felt consumed,
so I decided, until I come across an interesting opportunity, I would take a break.
This personality of the older sister is very staunch and lonely.
Do you like this role?
In the beginning, I did find the role a little hard to grasp. I had some hesitations.
But in the end, after I got to know all the roles
I started to connect with their emotions and we cried together.
I heard that this role is a very famous singer
so there are parts where you would have to sing
so were there any special practices?
Before when I studied theater, I went through strict training
so for singing, I think going to any karaoke place is fine.
Sister Fan Xing, the next question will be for Si Yue.
When you first got the script, I heard that Miss Wen Jing didn't really like the role.
Sister Fan Xing, why did you skip all of Si Yue's questions?
Yes because this older sister's story is very unyielding and tragic.
It really is, because this is a very scary
and dark revenge story.
So it's definitely unyielding and tragic.
Hey hey hey!
Where is this line saying that this is a very scary and dark revenge story?
There isn't!
Then what made you take on this role?
In the beginning, I was rather reluctant
but later, I learned that the playwright
who also plays the role of the little sister, Miss Min Si Yue, was an adopted child.
I was touched, because to tell this kind of story, must of been very difficult.
-Actually... -It wasn't that difficult as being adopted isn't something to be ashamed about.
There's no need to hide it.
So it's like that.
Excuse me, Nicky.
Robert and David are stuck in traffic.
So meeting will be delayed for about half an hour.
-Ok. -Ok.
If we need a lie to hide a small thing
Then to complete the lie,
Then in this situation, Anchorwoman Ye,
people should be more honest, don't you think so?
I think we all want to see how the audience thought about this show.
Let's take a look at the video.
How do you feel about today's performance?
At first we didn't have any expectations, but seeing that it was a popular show, we took a chance.
I didn't imagine that this show was pretty good.
The acting was very good.
What do you think?
It's been a while since I've seen a show that's so moving.
After I watched it, my heart hurt.
Why are you skipping my questions and changing the script?
This is live, I need to watch the time, it's normal.
On today's show, we have the fortune to experience a section
of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Let's enjoy together.
Wait a moment.
I suggest Anchorwoman Ye to take on the role of the older sister
what does everyone think?
Yes!
I really really want to, with my idol,
someone I've always treated as my older sister, Ye Fan Xing,
Anchorwoman Ye, perform this show together.
If people want to see her performance, please applause.
Oh my god, why are you bullying me?
Why did so many sudden things happen today?
Are you purposefully trying to make headlines?
Fan Xing! Fan Xing! Fan Xing!
What's going on now?
Dennis.
Give me the script.
A Midsummer Night's Dream script
I will give it my all.
Sister, was your past happy?
You've been alive after all.
I really hoped you'd die.
I did die.
But too bad for you, I came back to life.
Do you want to kill me?
Kill you?
Sister, death isn't necessarily a punishment.
Living through torture is a punishment.
I will destroy everything that makes sister shine.
What makes you so sure?
Because I know what you're scared of.
You're scared of losing the people you love.
This kind of thing, anyone would be scared.
Thanks to you, I'm not scared anymore.
I want to apologize to you.
The year that you disappeared,
Our family was a mess and in utter chaos.
We were all miserable.
But people are able to slowly adjust.
We slowly began to adjust to the pain of losing you and began to live our normal lives without you.
I worked hard and fought to be the best.
I became the obedient and understanding child.
They already forgot about you.
In our home, we do not miss you as much as you miss us.
We also have not searched for you.
So it's like that?
I didn't know any of this.
It's no matter.
It's not important.
Then why is it that from your expression,
I can't see any traces of being loved?
Someone who has had attention given to them from childhood,
That sort of aura and shine,
Why is it that I can't see it?
Why did you have to be the best?
Is it because if you're not the best,
Your mom wouldn't pay any attention to you?
Someone who has been given attention and love as a child,
Will show a bright and warm aura.
But sister, your smile,
Is always cold and fragile.
Like,
A child that is afraid of being rejected and pushed aside.
Shut your mouth.
Why are you pretending to be strong? Just admit that you're wrong.
Are you afraid that if you admit that you're wrong, you will lose your family and friends?
At that point, no one will stand on your side.
I think you're pitiful.
So pitiful.
What is going on?
Anchorwoman Ye is a wonderful actress.
Excellent.
Let's thank Anchorwoman Ye for her exciting performance.
It was really much more difficult than I expected it to be.
Let's give Miss April the applause.
Excellent.
That was so close. That scared me to death.
What are these two doing?
They are too immersed in their performances.
What are you doing here?
Director Gong already said,
Everyone has a part in this show, so I came to find some source material.
If you're done, you can leave.
But don't you think that April is very good at acting?
I'll go find resources from her.
April, I just saw your performance. It was very good.
Really? Thank you.
How about this? I want to film some source material.
I want to put your material into my show. What do you think?
That sounds good. I'll go change first.
Then I'll see you five minutes.
-See you later. -Bye bye.
I need to film some source material. Come with me.
Wait a minute. Where's your video personnel?
What nonsense are you spouting? I told you to go, so you will go. Don't just stand here.
Go get the equipment.
So frustrating. He talks too much.
You had a difficult day today.
You came prepared, didn't you?
Sister, you prepared very well too.
I don't believe that you improvised.
April. You're not the same person I knew from before.
You're more despicable than I imagined.
Compared to you, I'm nothing.
What point do you want to take this to?
To the very end, of course.
The end? What is the end?
At that time, you will know.
Do you really think you'll be happy by doing this?
Speaking of this, I really want to know,
That night, what was your mentality?
That night?
The night when you abandoned me at the amusement park and went home to sleep.
Were you happy?
No, you must have been nervous and emotional.
You didn't know that twenty years later, I would return.
If you were to admit your fault now, you would lose everything, right?
Dad, mom,
Everyone will leave you.
No matter in the past or in the present,
You will always be by yourself.
Ye Fan Xing.
What are you doing?
Are you alright?
I didn't think that you were this kind of person. What do you think Showtime is?
-Do you think this is your home? -Get out.
-What are you doing? -Give it to me.
Ye Fan Xing. I want to show everyone what you're truly like.
You wait.
-Give it back to me. -Step aside.
We'll wait and see.
♫ Drifting and wandering longing ♫
♫ Once again, it's the season that you love ♫
♫ The leaves are drifting to the ground, they don't know to recall them fondly ♫
♫ Much like your absence ♫
♫ The time passes slowly ♫
♫ I wish I could be by your side for a few more years ♫
♫ I still remembered when you appeared in front of me ♫
Wasn't tonight's show interesting?
How far does she want to go exactly?
I don't think April will give up easily.
Before you go to Shanghai,
you should tell Si Yue.
Tell her what? The fact that I lost her?
What lost? Just say that she got lost on her own.
You got home and were afraid so you didn't tell anyone, isn't that enough?
It's not that she got lost on her own
it's that I threw her away.
That day, I was alone in the library doing work
my little sister came to find me.
Take me outside to play.
Play by yourself, I need to do my homework.
No, take me outside to play or I'll tell mom that you were mean to me so she'll hit you.
There were a lot of people at the amusement park that day.
She said she wanted to eat ice cream.
She said if I didn't buy it for her
she would have mom disown me.
It's too cold, you can't eat ice cream.
No, I want it, I want it!
If you don't buy it I'll have mom disown you.
So in a fit of anger
I didn't buy her ice cream
and took the bus home alone.
But I regretted it after I got on.
I ran with all my might.
I screamed with all my might at the amusement park.
But I couldn't find her anywhere in the park.
I was too little then.
I was too scared to tell.
I didn't dare to tell my parents that I lost her.
So I lied.
Because of this lie
I suffered for twenty years.
Scared for twenty years.
So I worked hard
I worked hard
I fought for a good job
I wanted to become mom's best version of Fan Xing
to become the daughter mom would be most proud of
But I couldn't do it.
No matter what I do, there was no way
that nightmare kept on following me, weighing on me
I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
Showtime
I heard the reaction to yesterday's show was pretty good.
Why did you hit Si Yue yesterday?
No reason.
Then do you know that someone took a picture of you hitting her.
A lot of people saw it.
I know.
Then do you know that hitting a guest is extremely childish?
Fortunately, I obtained this.
Li Bao Ying promised me that this will not be leaked out.
This afternoon I invited Si Yue, come over and apologize.
Thank you. Give me the disk.
Apologize to her.
I already have appointments this afternoon.
Cancel your appointments.
Don't you know, that if the fact that you hit Si Yue gets out
for you, for our show, it'll be a huge blow.
Fan Xing. Keep calm and reflect on this.
I'll wait for your decision. Hurry.
-Sorry I'm late. -Si Yue.
Take a seat.
Si Yue, what would you like to drink?
I'll just drink this.
Si Yue? What happened yesterday with Fan Xing?
Can you tell us about it?
It's my fault. Don't blame Sister Fan Xing.
But what did you do wrong?
Fan Xing didn't need to hit you right?
I made a lot of mistakes.
That day, I shouldn't have changed the plan just because of the atmosphere in the crowd.
I also didn't tell Sister Fan Xing ahead of time.
This already exceeds the control of the host.
It's frankly my fault.
-But because of this, our ratings went up quite a bit. -Shh!
If Sister Fan Xing comes over later, I will apologize to her.
Luckily because she's good at acting, she was able to act it out.
I went overboard regarding this.
When I left, I kept on reflecting on it.
But she shouldn't have hit a guest on the face.
She's a famous tv host.
This is harmful to her image.
Fan Xing is still not here yet?
Xiao Fei.
Hello, Fan Xing.
Where are you?
Please don't worry. I will settle this.
Since I started all this.
You should clarify this with Sister Fan Xing then.
I will.
We're all colleagues, what problems could there be.
Let's eat first.
Let's eat.
Fan Xing.
You're here?
Sister Fan Xing.
Sister Fan Xing, sorry.
It was my fault yesterday. Please forgive me.
Sorry?
Everything's fine. Let's sit.
Sit.
Fan Xing, I watched the show this morning.
You scared me.
Even if you were angry, you shouldn't hit her.
This is not your style.
You guys should stop blaming Sister Fan Xing. I was in the wrong first.
Sister Fan Xing. I gave you a shock yesterday, right?
It's all my fault. I didn't control my emotions while recording.
To your good fortune, yesterday's show got good reviews. It's fine.
Sorry.
I also made mistakes.
So how is it? Does it still hurt?
I can take a hit.
As long as you understand.
Actually I, in work, am very stubborn.
I also didn't control my emotions,
it was live, I was afraid something would happen.
I understand, so I said it was my fault.
Ok, ok, everything is cleared now.
Excellent, we're all delighted.
You two, everything was a misunderstanding. All good?
I suddenly thought of something. When we accused April of the stealing the necklace,
She asked us to apologize, that time, do you guys still remember?
I thought she was a boss of a gang.
She suddenly said, hit me, come and hit me!
Hit me! That time!
Putting it like that, Si Yue and us are quite fated.
I also think we're fated.
I need to especially thank Sister Fan Xing.
Not only did she help me find my biological parents
she also thought of a way to remove a scar on my hip.
You have a scar on your hip?
When I was little, I was playing with my older sister, and was accidently burned by a firework, a big scar.
Then you can't remove your scar.
It'll be a good memory to use to help find your parents.
I heard that Si Yue got this scar after she was lost.
Si Yue is so pretty, leaving this scar doesn't look good.
I'm really grateful for Sister Fan Xing, always thinking of me.
In the end, we weren't able to remove it, it's too bad.
Then now, do you still want to help me remove it?
As long as you're willing, I'm willing.
Hello? Journalist Huang?
Yes. Regarding about the physical assault?
Here, here, here!
Min Si Yue, can you explain the online video about the physical assault?
What conflict do you have with Ye Fan Xing?
Anchorwoman Ye has always been compassionate, yet she was very malicious to you on the video.
Why is that?
Everyone, please calm down.
I know that everyone is curious about this video
but please don't think too much about this.
Anchorwoman Ye always acts with compassion.
She would never lay her hands on me.
This is just when we were practicing the script
someone took a video and put it online.
Video of the script? Does that mean Anchorwoman Ye will participate in A Midsummer Night's Dream?
Correct, we thought that we could give everyone a surprise.
But in the end...
Then what role will Anchorwoman Ye take on?
Of course it's the older sister.
Anchorwoman Ye personally wanted to take up the role of the older sister.
I ask everyone to support us, we will do our best.
Ok, thank you.
That makes sense.
We can't wait.
You posted the video online, am I right?
Sister Fan Xing, how could you think this way?
I helped you avoid trouble, but you didn't change.
You also pushed all the blame onto me. I'm really hurt.
