Episode 2
Have you found it?
Where did I put it?
Flip through it again
Du Ruo
Du Nian
When did you come back?
Your shoot is wrapped?
She is back for an audition.
Of what?
You've been at Sheng Hua for so long, it was all for naught.
Not even knowing about the latest blockbuster that is about to be filmed
Life Tide
Life Tide is a big project.
No one knows you, are you sure?
You don't know right?
Clear Sky Entertainment contacted me recently.
They want to sign me.
Clear Sky Entertainment, you know them?.
Boss He
she is a major shareholder of Sheng Hua.
I envy you so much!
When will I be discovered?
Amazing, Du Nian!
?Wow, we dance before dawnbreak?
?Let's dance wildly?
?Rocking, dance wildly?
?Rocking?
?Wow, we dance before dawnbreak?
?Let's dance wildly?
?Rocking beats wildly?
?Rocking?
?EOEO. Get lose of the handcuff on your mind?
?Kio Kio This world has come to take pictures for you?
?Drunk in love, come on one shot?
?Don't think of disappearing alone?
?Being alone is driving me crazy? Shu Zhan
Sis Xun.
What brought you here?
About Ji Xiaoxing
Sis Ye will help you solve it.
Don't worry.
For your career,
This is also an opportunity.
Career?
Of course.
So you're here
to talk me through it?
You're right
That's true.
Sheng Hua has already invited you
as the leading actor in Life Tide.
This is a good opportunity for your transition.
I only want to make music.
Shu Zhan,
since Uncle Shu asked me to persuade you.
then I will tell you this directly.
Yes, your career is solid as of today.
But you know what,
the more agents you see now,
the more people you will offend.
You're not cooperating.
That has almost making them to drop you.
Since that,
then put all the shows off.
Anyway, I don't care.
Shu Zhan
What about the penal sum?
Do you want the company to go bankrupt?
Sis Xun, do you still think I'm a child?
Shu Zhan
We grew up together.
You treated me like your big sister.
I also see you as my little brother
Okay, If Ji Xiaoxing didn't show up.
I also think that Uncle Shu is too radical.
However, she appeared
at this crucial turning point for you.
Shu Zhan,
don't you feel like this is God's blessing?
Do you really want to kill this chance?
In summary
The director of Life Tide project will be Ye Ling
Ye Ling?
A new face!
Ye Ling
graduated from UCLA.
major in drama and film.
Once directed movie stars
Although it didn't release to the public due to its theme,
But in the industry
it caused a sensational discussion.
The fact that it was not released means the filming went to waste.
What's the use of a big heated debate?
Yes
I admit
this opportunity is rare.
Even if we are old classmates
or you want to help me.
But this risk
don't you think it's too big for you?
What is the use of a hot discussion?
The box office is what matters!
Right?
Manager Song is right.
but we will discuss it later.
Fang Li, continue.
The first thing is to draft a list of actors.
At this point we need to finalized the leading actress.
Wait,
Leading actress
I have a particularly suitable candidate,
Okay?
It is a current domestic superstar.
Shen Xun.
You all know her,right?
Although Shen Xun is a model
who never studied acting
But her image is good and knows how to sell herself.
Only four years in film industry
She has become one of the domestic superstar actresses in China.
Wherever she is,
there will never be a shortage of publicity.
An absolutely popular queen.
Shen Xun's popularity is good.
But her reputation,
especially her acting
I think it is ....
You mean she's just a pretty face, right?
That's just some antis.
The audience doesn't mind!
The so-called acting skills.
That is all a very minor thing.
What do we need?
What we need is a hit.
Traffic!
As far as I know
Shen Xun's schedule is also a problem.
You don't need to worry
I've already talked to her agent.
She can give us one more month.
One month is not enough.
Our preliminary training will take three months.
All right
Thank you
for your hard work.
Okay,
Call me again.
Sis Xun
What happened to you?
Shen Xun
I have something to ask you.
What is it?
Is Xin Yuanling your friend?
What do you mean?
I know you're not satisfied to be a commercial queen.
You wanna practice your acting, fine.
You want to act in a movie, fine.
But do you have to preform in this project?
We have a lot of scripts
choose any one you want.
I don't think Sheng Hua's project has any problem
Sis Ye please don't beat about the bush.
If I'm direct, will you listen?
I can stand it.
The leading actress Xin Yuanling want...
I'm afraid it isn't you.
Who else is qualified except me?
Did he vote against me?
He didn't.
- But...\Then don't worry about it.
Don't lie to yourself, okay?
Isn't it obvious?
Even if he agrees
He just wants to borrow your population to promote his movie.
Then let you be a guest actress to promote his newbies.
If I was right.
In this movie
he'll devote his energy to the newcomers
far more than the celebrity stars.
You are my agent.
Why don't you recognize me the most?
I didn't.
-I mean... -What you mean is that Shenghua only wants my publicity,
My acting is not as good as a newcomer.
Completely incompetitive?
I don't believe that at all.
I do not believe,
I have been friends with Yuanling for so many years,
his decision will be a problem.
I don't know where you heard this gossip.
In short, it's my business.
Shen Xun, you...
Enough, enough,
Just leave this to me, okay?
What did I ask of you previously?
Now Shu Zhan's problems are of the essence.
Bye.
Bravo!
Hurry up! Beat him.
This is so shocking. I'm weeping
Be careful.
Go! Go!
Kill him!
Amazing
Kill him!
Beat him!
This trick
God it's so beautiful.
Really powerful.
Snakeskin take a bit.
Go to the grass to return blood.
Live broadcast?
Anyone is watching?
You don't know it.
Hottest!
Face is what this is selling.
Come see this side of the face.
How many fans?
A few million.
So much?
I told you
Among Sheng Hua's signing trainees
An Ge's (Ann Song's) fans are the highest.
Half of it is by live streaming.
Be careful.
An Ge
Your fans feel your enthusiasm now.
This is a good idea.
Good!
Beat him!
Can't beat...
Don't worry, don't worry.
Ah, An Ge
Hit.
Good
It said can't beat him.
What a pity.
Lost.
He could have won
I say this Dark night's score.
Why do I feel that nobody can surpass it?
An Ge
Who is he?
Sooner or later I'll meet him.
Another round.
Another round. An Ge
Another round.
Another round, exterminate him.
Come on.
I don't believe we can't beat him.
Again.
Come on!
Yes!
The girl Ji Xiaoxing
how is that now?
I have already arranged to meet with her.
Don't worry, I will take care of it.
Good
The concert's contract,
also let him confirm it as soon as possible.
No problem.
Xiaoxing
She actually blocked me.
So petty.
Terror Live?
Sheng Hua's hottest newcomers have all broadcast live.
It's especially good for getting fans.
Can you?
That depends on how we plan.
If it is lessons about makeup
shopping.
Sing and dance to the camera.
That certainly won't stand out.
But you think about it.
Du Nian is major in performance.
You are good with classical dance.
I'm major in director, also took photography lessons.
About camera and script
I have practical experience,
We can learn from each other.
Use as you learn.
You forgot
I have lens aphasia.
Can't say a word.
That's simple.
Du Nian will say all the lines.
Leave me out of this.
What a vulgar thing.
Not participating.
What is vulgar?
Can your attitude improve a little?
Can't.
I'm going to sign with Clear Sky Entertainment.
Must protect my image as smart and elegant.
Leave me out of this.
Can't you support your friend?
No.
Don't be like this
At most, you don't have to show your face
Xiaoxing'll do the performance.
You read the narration
Me?
Are you sure?
ok
I will think about it.
What is the theme of first issue?
Visiting the urban supernatural place.
What is name of the live studio?
Midnight Eyes
Hello
There is something nice for you.
The link is sent on your Wechat.
You're welcome.
Good night
What is that?
Welcome to watch Midnight Eyes.
The ancient days is divided into 12 hours.
During the day people calculate time
by the sun or copper drip.
And by the middle of night.
Since 11p.m.
The gate of Abyss opens
At this moment,
I'm at the famous private which was quite popular ten years ago.
A famous private clinic I'm at the famous private which was quite popular ten years ago. A famous private clinic
One night
there is not a single patient in the clinic.
The doctor and nurses on duty open their computer
and found a classic movie.
Ji Xiaoxing!
- Director Ye! - You're here, Xiaoxing!
Director Ye
Stop
Ji Xiaoxing
Don't shout!
Stop there!
Ji Xioxing

Director Ye.
Ji Xiaoxing!
Ji Xiaoxing, don't run.
Don't stop
Stop there!
Ji Xiaoxing,you hear me?
You stop there!
I heard you were hospitalized.
Are you better now?
Thank you for your concern.
I am much stronger now.
That's good.
You know she doesn't have to suffer this with you?
We share weal and woe.
Yeah.
Share weal, and woe!
Listen, you two.
if you really see her as a friend
you should tell her
to go home immediately. Understand?
Then you should know best
why she doesn't like to go home.
I mean
I mean...
This poor situation is just for now.
Actually, a few months ago she...
In fact
In fact, she is fine.
This card is for Xiaoxing.
At least,
she can eat and live a little better.
Director Ye
You thought one card is enough?
You think that's what Xiaoxing wants?
You.
You should at least tell me the password!
You.
I
You.
Director Ye, Director Ye
The password.
Director Ye
Haicheng Second People's Hospital
Hello
Yes.
I'll tell him myself.
He is in the hospital.
Okay.
Mr. Xing.
That man.
How is he?
Did he wake up?
Last time it was also you, right?
I really didn't mean to scare him.
Take it on time.
Let's go, let's go.
That scared me.
I thought she was a ghost.
Here
Wipe, wipe it.
- Thank you. - Can you cry more quietly?
Stop
If you dare cry on me
I will kill you.
Thank you, Mr. Xin.
Why is it that every time I meet you,
these bizarre things would happen?
You do not understand,
this is the protagonist's aura.
I don't want to be your male protagonist.
Which one?
Old classmate?
Pretty good.
Midnight Eyes?
is it?
You also watched it?
That's good.
I'll do my best.
Goodbye
The effect is so good.
Wonderful.
It's so creative.
Quite funny.
How did you think of doing this live?
Too funny.
That man who came in
was it arranged in advance?
Tell us.
What happened then?
What else? We wanna see more.
Xiaoxing
I succeeded.
Clear Sky Entertainment is going to sign me!
How is it?
It fits you well!
It's acceptable.
Can I really do this?
Of course,
You're going to see Jiang Ye,
Shu Zhan's agent.
You must put on some nice clothes.
I
My credit card is overdrawn.
I only have these cash.
They are the tips I got for playing dead bodies.
Voice down.
So embarrassing.
Use my card.
I think her clothes also looks good.
Is there another one?
I'm sorry
Designer brands values qualities than quantities.
We have similar styles for less. Designer brands values qualities than quantities.
We have similar styles for less.
Okay.
You will be wearing it for what kind of occasion ?
Formal occasion for her.
Like walking a red carpet.
Are you stars?
No wonder both of you look so pretty.
It's not that.
I am not a star.
Don't listen to her.
Maybe not now but you will be soon.
Xiaoxing
I believe you.
We are all gonna be stars of the future.
So,
One for each.
We're buying it.
This dress is
really suitable for you to wear at the signing ceremony.
This is a bit expensive.
Expensive?
No biggie, we'll tighten our belt for another month.
Besides,
You really look good in this.
Do you really mean it?
Certainly! You killed it!
I have a premonition,
today will be our lucky day.
I wish for us to sign a successful contract.
Successful signing.
If you agree
Just sign the contract.
I thought
you invited me here to be...
turns out to be an assistant?
An assistant is also very promising.
What's more, it is Shu Zhan's assistant.
Actually, I...
My invitation
isn't underestimating what it means to you.
And the terms of the contract
is very good for you.
For example, you only have to do half a year.
or one-year assistant at most.
Then will automatically become
a contracted artists by our company.
You need to know
our company has never signed a newcomer.
You are the first.
We will also give you a boost.
We will make all the resources
continuously available to you.
If you work hard enough,
I will help you succeed just like Shu Zhan
and Shen Xun.
It only takes six months or a year?
It's written on the paper.
The agreement is clear.
But I don't know anything about this job. Is that..
I'm confident about my choice.
You can do it.
How about this,
Take this contract with you
and talk to a lawyer
I can guarantee
everyone will tell you
this is a very generous contract.
I will wait for your reply in three days.
Okay. okay.
We'll think about it.
Thank you, Sis Ye.
We'll go first.
Okay.
Shu Zhan
I bet you.
she will sign it.
I'm sorry.
I don't think this dress suits me well.
I'd like to return it.
Okay, just a second.
Thank you.
Do you really want to return it?
You look good in this dress.
Forget it.
It's too fancy.
Besides, I have no chance to wear it.
Xiaoxing
It's fine
Forget it.
She seems very disappointed.
What's so disappointing as her condition?
Okay,okay, okay.
I meant
I'll keep my promise on her.
- But she seems to... - Zhan
I know you don't want to be transformed,
but you must believe in Mr. Shu's vision for you.
The situation is predictable.
The appearance of Ji Xiaoxing
is the best opportunity to help you out of it.
But I don't want to lie to her.
Don't.
You must keep it secret.
You must protect yourself from people.
And your secret.
Only limited to people who currently know.
As for whether we should tell Ji Xiaoxing
Let's wait and see.
Congratulations!The stars of tomorrow are signed successfully!
Du Ruo!
Xiaoxing
Shu Zhan has set such generous conditions
inviting you to be a small assistant?
What's her motive?
Who cares?
Xiaoxing, you should grab this opportunity.
Otherwise you'll be a fool.
I'm not silly
- But I also know there's no free lunch on Earth -Try it!
That won't hurt.
Anyway, aren't you used to playing small roles?
My dear lady
Can you treat my job with more respect?
My honored respected errand girl.
Thanks
In any case, whether you agree or not, it's your choice
And you don't have to push yourself too hard.
Once the movie filming begins
I will be the director's assistant.
You
can rely on me.
Director's assistant?
Who is the director?
Someone who pointedly asked for me
was you?!
How can you say I wanted you?
Someone as altruistic as me, in the prime of my youth
the words I say, are said with my image taken into consideration
Understand?
You want me to be your assistant?
You definitely have an ulterior motive!
I know.
You want me to be a hostage
so that you can control Ji Xiaoxing?
Clever
Ye Ling, listen
Ji Xiaoxing is my good friend.
from an emotional aspect,
she is the equivalent of my blood sister.
If you want to use me to control her
I only have two words to reply you with!
If you agree to be my assistant,
you will get a lot more experiences than the normal trainees in Sheng Hua
as well as your salary
I only have two words to reply you with!
O. K.
Hand over Ji Xiaoxing's schedule to me
is also fine?
Du Ruo
Why are you in a daze?
Xiaoxing, can I ask you a question?
What do you feel, between friends,
is of utmost importance?
Loyalty.
Let me rephrase.
Life.
What is most important in life?
Existence.
Life!
Then in the face of life,
isn't it that loyalty can be temporarily
and only temporarily, be in second place?
Du Ruo
What have you done again?
Own up to me!
Du Ruo
Can it be..?
Xiaoxing!
I love you I'm sorry!
You drank the yogurt that I just bought?!
I told your schedule to Director Ye Ling
Luckily, not my yogurt.
Du Ruo!
You told my schedule to Ye Ling?!
I was wrong, I was wrong
Don't run!
And you told Ye Ling!
Director Ye you're back
I helped you tidy up slightly.
A clean and tidy working environment.
is beneficial towards...
Who asked you to arrange my office so messily?!
My data...The data that I just sorted out yesterday
Oh my goodness
My data, my data
Du Ruo
Where's my cup noodles?
My cup noodles and my lollipop, where are they?
The fries that I didn't finish yesterday
you didn't also throw that away, did you?
It's here.
Du Ruo
Before I am back from my meeting
Arrange everything here
back to its original state.
Do you understand?
It's exactly this type of feeling
Do not ever mess up my things again.
Everything here is the best suited for my current state.
Do you hear me?
Understood
Go busy yourself.
Then Director Ye
is there anything I can do for you?
Write down Ji Xiaoxing's schedule
and?
Nothing else
?Want to be together with you?
?Just like Grimms' Fairytales?
?Want to let you fall in love with me?
?Such that even Cupid would be jealous?
?If love had some sort of magic,?
?Magic?
?Dreaming dreaming dreaming you love me?
?Cinderella's shoe can be found within your hands?
Good day, Sis Ye.
You're all busy
Good morning Sis Ye
Xiao Zhang, long time no see. You've become more handsome! Sis Ye.
Su Su, back so fast from your maternity leave
- You've regained your figure so well. - Thank you Sis Ye
Why are you running upon first sight?
Not at all, good morning Sis Ye
Mr. Xin, he just...
I can find his office.
Busy yourself then
Yes.
The media's problem is regarding whether it's
strategy investment or financial investment
I have no comment.
I'm sure you understand what I mean.
It doesn't matter if she's a superstar
what's important are the acting skills.
Yes, yes.
You know what I mean. Good.
Great. Ok bye.
Sorry about that. No worries.
I've been a little busy.
How is Shu Zhan's consideration on the matter?
You know what?
You do know how to choose the right one.
This script is amazing
Can definitely become a blockbuster.
Personally, I like this movie very much!
Shu Zhan as the lead actor
- it will be very fitting - Then let's hurry up with the contract
It would take some time for the procedure.
That doesn't matter.
it nothing.
But if Shu Zhan is the leading actor...
shouldn't the leading actress also be compatible?
Haven't you seen many actors already? How is it?
Isn't it that our Shen Xun is the best fit?
Yes, indeed
Is Shen Xun free recently?
Let me invite you both out to a meal.
Deal.
When her schedule is clear, let's make another appointment
Ok, let me send you No need, back to your work.
Listen, regarding this next scene
Hello, Du Ruo, what's up?
Xiaoxing, you are at Scene No. 3 right?
I'm bringing Director Ye over.
What? Are you crazy?
The reason Director Ye wants to drag you home
is because he's worried
that you are being bullied outside.
So for today's show
you have to perform well,
so that Director Ye can see your talent in this profession.
No, but I... so that Director Ye can see your talent in this profession.
No, but I...
Ok, let's not talk later, see you soon, bye!
I, hello? That female actress come over
Sorry Director
Director where do I sit?
You, you sit here
Shu Zhan
We do not have to go to her..
Ji Xiaoxing has no reason to reject
the wonderful conditions the company has set.
If she wants to be famous
she will definitely sign it.
I'm not here because I want her to sign it
Then what?
Do you want me to help you hand her this?
It's not convenient for you with so many people on set.
I can do it.
I'm warning you
You definitely can't tell your secret to Ji Xiaoxing
Understand?
If she will only help through deceit and lies,
then I would rather give up.
We meet again
What a coincidence!
Ok, good.
What's the situation with the table on the left?
You can't even get the actions and expressions right?
Your performance was not bad.
Why do I find you so familiar?
Have we met each other before?
Seriously?
We've already acted this show so many times
You still don't know who I am?
Ji Xiaoxing
Is my presence really so transparent?
I know you are An Ge
Think again.
Your lips
are tempting like cheeries.
Now you remember
As a boy like you, it must not be easy
but my stand is...
I shouldn't encourage you to push on
But...
as long as you're happy.
Just be happy.
What's with this?
This female actress
Your performance just now was not bad.
Keep it.
Thank you Director
Here's a chance for you.
to add some lines.
You all leave.
3, 2, 1, Action!
We meet again
What a coincidence.
Your line is, "It's not a coincidence"
I've been waiting for you for a while."
Not a coincidence, I've been waiting you for a while.
I...
I
What's wrong with the actress? Speak
So stupid Cut!
What's wrong?
Can't even say such a simple phrase?
What's up with her?
Who knows!
Wasting our time.
Can't even say one line, just change her.
Change her!
Can't even remember the simplest phrase.
What's going on?
This... why did she stop acting?
Why is she running?
My gosh.
?Having fun with the crowds?
?Sing the most trend song?
?The louder I sing, the lonelier I feel?
?Loneliness always hides in the bustling space?
?How can I be defeated ?
Change your clothes and leave with me.
?Happiness?
?Exhibit an exquisite dinner on the social media?
