Summer of Desire
Episode 7
These years
I worked many jobs
served food as a waitress
advertised on the street
Even if I go to foreign companies to work
In order to make enough money, it will require at least 10 or 20 years of work
But I can't wait that long.
Even though the entertainment industry is complex
and this road is difficult
But once I succeed
my hard work will turn into a lifetime of prosperity
This is the quickest way to obtain what I want
What do you want to obtain?
Money
and influence.
I don't want to go through the hard work and not make enough money
I don't want to beg anyone
So I must work hard to obtain this opportunity
Change my destiny
Change our future of life
Xiao Cheng
Are you willing to lend me your support?
Enter.
You guys don't take any precaution how do you become a movie star?
People tell you to come and you just come.
You don't even ask why.
You think by wearing this you will be able to seduce me?
I'm not, all my pajamas are like this
I originally didn't want to come
But I was afraid that the company has made another separate arrangement for me
so I came to see
Look at me
I didn't even wear any makeup
Didn't wash my hair, how am I supposed to seduce you?
You should at least wear proper clothes
And you
10 years of apprenticeship
still making this beginner's mistake
You told me to come
I tell you to come and you just come?
What happens if I'm a bad guy
look at you wearing these clothes, are you that desperate?
Last company I worked for, I said no to the old guy and got fired.
I used to resist all these things, its been 10 years
I still haven't made a name for myself
Now? Now I understand.
In order to succeed, you will have to try anything you can
get any opportunity you can
If I knew this at the beginning,
I would have become a movie star by now
So you just wasted 10 years?
You destroyed your image
That
Tell me what your thoughts are
I
You do have some precautionary measures.
But what is your EQ?
Where did your EQ go?
What are you doing with this? Hit them?
She just sent me a text
Teacher Allen, Hello
Originally I was going to meet you but I don't feel so good
I will have to forego this appointment
So I will have to call in sick, can you forward it to Teacher Wei
That's it.
She is cautious
But she has a low EQ
Telling this to the third party
Stand properly
In the future
When you are stepping into the entertainment industry
You will encounter some similar problems
How should you handle it? You will have to go through the learning process.
I only going to say one word. I hope you remember it.
My last word: when you finally go into the entertainment industry,
it will be because of your hard work
hear me?
Dismissed.
I have a question.
Teacher Allen, has Wei Yin borrowed your phone today?
Not yet.
Then where did he get the phone to text you?
Go back and collect her phone.
Ok
Any other issues?
What about Pan Nan and Xia Mo
I didn't inform Pan Nan. What about Xia Mo?
Who knows where she went?
She went to the music studio.
Music studio?
What a coincidence
This evening I was also in the music studio
How come I didn't see her?
Teacher
If there is any apprentice that leaves without
giving notice, how should they be punished?
They will be kicked out.
So your meaning is
Xia Mo secretly left?
I wasn't deliberately pointing fingers. I was just wondering.
You're asking on purpose.
Xia Mo went to the practice room.
Let's go see.
Look.
Yin Xia Mo definitely snuck out.
If she really snuck out this time,
no one is able to help her.
Notify every apprentice to meet at the playground.
Ok
Where did you go just now?
I was running.
Running?
In the playground or the practice room?
Don't tell me you ran from outside to here?
Do I need to tell you where I went running?
What happened to your knee?
I fell when I was running.
You can run and injure yourself?
Can't you?
Yin Xia Mo
You already know the company's policies.
Now people suspect you ran out without permission.
If you are unable to provide evidence,
we will turn you into the authorities.
Evidence?
What kind of evidence?
Does my sweat count?
Has anyone else seen you running?
Me, I did.
Didn't you just say she was in the practice room?
You are her friend
You may be lying her her.
Has anyone else seen it?
I saw it.
When I went out to run, Xia Mo was already there.
You are pretty lucky.
You have a witness
Let's forget this matter then
Dismissed.
Thank you.
I did see you. Saw you sneaking out.
Why are you so serious?
We were following you around all night. I'm so tired.
You really are a dumb lady.
What's wrong with me?
This semester, the competition is fierce.
One less competitor is always better.
If Xia Mo is kicked out this time,
you would thank me for that
Next
Xia Mo
You spent three times the effort to learn these basic moves.
What's the next move?
Xia Mo, you're so awesome!
Not bad.
That's it.
I still have the best to come.
That's it.
I've had enough.
Thank you.
My god.
Don't move. I'll do it myself.
Xia Mo, you don't need to comfort me.
I am not upset, I'm happy.
I can't stand this place.
The moment I step out, I can eat fried chicken, hamburger, and ice cream.
Whatever I want. No one can bother me.
Wait for me. Wait for me to accompany you.
Whatever you want to eat, we can eat. Okay?
No, I don't need you to accompany me.
I can't be a movie star, but you can.
After you are successful and become a movie star,
I will become your manager.
After that, we can have fun everyday.
But right now, you have to promise me
you have to practice hard, and don't be eliminated.
Okay, I promise you.
if one day,
I become successful, I will let you be my manager.
We will eat and play together.
I don't have any regrets.
We can say farewell right here.
Hurry and go back.
Don't walk me out. This is not the last time we will see each other.
Don't cry.
Why didn't they eliminate me in the first round?
I suffered so much, and I was so tired from practicing.
I really thought I could've made it.
But then they eliminated me.
Sister Pan Nan
Don't be too upset.
Two days ago I said to my sister, there's nothing wrong with being a common person.
Do you know how naive I was?
I really thought I could become the next legend.
This final eliminated me.
On what basis did they have to eliminate me?
Then why did they eliminate you?
They said listening to my singing was torture.
Let me sing a song for you.
You see for yourself whether it is a torture.
Okay, I've never heard you sing before.
I will sing my best English song for you.
How is it? Does it sound good?
yes. Really?
You don't think it's torture?
Then, I will sing for you once more.
Look at the rankings.
How was the other apprentice?
The bootcamp ended, there are 5 trainees left.
Oh right, this is the comprehensive rankings for the 5 of them. Take a look.
They don't look bad.
I'll give you my opinion.
This is the hottest show in town.
The first season has the highest viewership.
We are accepting applications for the second season.
The sponsor has issued us an invitation, hoping that
we can select our best candidates to participate.
I think that these 5 can all go and try it out.
Is there any rule changes for the second season?
No, they are still the same judges.They have to select from
the candidates to form a team and compete against each other.
In the finals, based on the votes from the studio and internet,
the winner will be selected.
Have the judges' names come out yet?
Not yet. But everyone in the industry knows who they are.
I heard they invited Sun Wei
Is she coming?
Yes. Really?
The sponsor is really rich. They can invite such a celebrity.
I heard it was a
deep-pocketed company.
They spend lots of money inviting celebrities.
Sun Wei is not the most expensive one.
there is one more person
Who?
Luo Xi
Luo Xi is really amazing
One post on his Weibo can gather over a million likes.
The sponsor invited the right person.
They save a lot in advertising.
I will be happy if
one or two of the 5 trainees can make it out.
We will have to see their luck.
Contact the sponsor and register all 5 of them.
Ok.
I will try to contact Luo Xi
Luo Xi?
Luo Xi
There's too many fans and media outside
Drink some water
I already arranged a security team
Let's wait 30 minutes before exiting.
Why do we go through the security tunnel?
Otherwise--
They waited so long just to see me
What's wrong with her?
The airplane was delayed so she probably waited too long.
Did she eat breakfast?
No
Give me the water.
Drink a little.
Send her to the hospital
We just arrived.
Sun Entertainment's boss wants to have dinner with you.
Ok. What do they have in mind?
They have 5 trainees participating in the competition.
They got the news that you're the judge.
They want you to meet the trainees.
I just came back, so I'm not clear about the details.
If you can say no, then I don't have to go.
Cai Ni is a friend of your boss, so I have to give you a heads up.
Fine.
They just sent you an email.
These trainees aren't bad. I'll forward it to you.
No need. I can take a quick look myself.
What's our schedule tomorrow?
We have to go to the radio station to meet the director and the producer.
Sun Wei will be there too.
Exchange this.
All set.
Do you like it?
It looks like me. Thank you.
Can I take a picture with you? Of course. Stand closer.
This brother is very good at portraits, be sure to come back again.
Bye
You're too amazing
You make more in 2 hours than I make in an entire day.
Too bad that the schedule is too tight. Otherwise,
if I out to draw everyday, my sister won't have to work that hard
I want a brother like you.
Handsome, and a good listener
Earns money to support me and buys me delicious food
and draws me beautiful portraits
you are also my sister
Can I ask, are you able to draw anything?
Yes, 100 yuan each. Beautiful as hell.
Can you do this?
I can draw this for free. Really?
Please sit
You draw so well. Thank you
Thank you. Come back next time.
Bye.
You are too generous.
Why did you draw it for free?
Look at how happy she was
She would be willing to pay double.
I hope everyone likes him, supports him
the more the better
Everyone, sorry I'm late.
Let me introduce you.
This is Mr. Fong from Asia Voice
Nice to meet you Mr. Fong
It's our honor to have you on our team.
Thank you.
This is our main director
Mr. Hong, nice to meet you.
Pleased to meet you.
My daughter reminds me to get a photo with your signature on it.
No problem.
My apologies, I arrived late.
Sun Wei
You're late
I heard that being a young celebrity, you're always 30 minutes behind.
I hate waiting
so I delayed for 30 minutes.
So your being late
is because I'm too early?
No, no, no. It's my fault.
We let everyone come too early.
Let's sit down and talk
I heard that your schedule is filling up fast
why would you have time for this?
Why are you so concerned about me?
Knowing that my schedule is filling up fast,
haven't you heard that I have another music album coming out at the end of the year?
No problem, today I'm asking for your advice.
All your words are pleasant to the ears
you get paid more than me
why would you need more dividends?
I should learn from you instead
My pay is determined by Boss Sha, you should ask him instead
In my heart, I always thought that Boss Sha prefers you over me.
Long time no see.
Missed you.
Scared me to death.
This pre--planning meeting
is for the two judges to get used to our environment
and our team
Become familiar with our processes
Have you seen our first
season?
The rules have not changed
I will not go into details and waste your time.
I will prepare both of you an agenda
Hope that when the show begins
the whole atmosphere will depend on the two of you
We do not have a problem
We know the two of you are good friends.
However, we want to create a competitive atmosphere during the show
The two of you can prepare some sharpened words for each other
No problem
Let's leave at that and we will see you next time.
I will not take up any more of your time.
We will not walk you out.
Look who that is
Who?
Who is Luo Xi?
I previously mentioned to you that he was the speaker for Bubble Star game
Have you finalized it yet?
I'm still negotiating with their company, getting close.
There's also Sun Wei, my goddess.
That's the one female singer that you saw earlier.
The one who has the charisma to be the speaker of the main female lead.
Prepare more people as the backups. We will
make a decision next week in the meetings.
CEO Ou
This is our main director
CEO Ou, can we talk in the office?
Acting in the show and in the movie are two different things.
Acting in the movie has the script
as long as you memorize it and act emotionally, you are good.
Acting in a live show, a lot depends on the actor's impromptu reactions.
It will expose their real personality.
Do people not like my real personality?
That may not be the case, I'm not worried about your fanbase
Then what are you worried about?
Asian Voice is the hottest show in town.
Everyone is paying attention. Okay.
So I need to remind you
your product is still lacking
unlike Sun Wei, who already made her name out there with all her songs.
Her popularity is soaring and her being the judge is what everyone expects
You need to be better prepared, with what you say and do
Try your best to have your team come out ahead
and let those doubters admire you in the end
Got it. Are you still worried?
How can I not worry?
What was the company you talked about last time?
Sun Entertainment
Sun Entertainment....
Are you available? I will come down.
CEO Ling, do you need me for something?
Luo Xi is coming later.
Go buy me some flowers later. He's coming here so quickly?
That's great.
I will go now.
Wait
What flowers do you think he likes?
Give him
I saw in an interview
He said he likes--what was that--
Narcissus Lily, he will definitely like that
Ok, quickly go.
Let me tell you, Luo Xi is coming in a while.
Really? That's great.
He will come soon.
Let me see the practice room.
I will go now. Wait. What guests do we have today?
Okay, go. Ok, relax. Have a good exercise.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Who is coming?
This is our 6th time doing this routine.
Who knows? It's a secret.
Probably an important person.
Don't chat.
Dance properly.
Perform properly.
This is our exercise room
all the trainees are practicing right now.
Let me introduce you. This is our chief manager.
Hello Luo Xi.
Welcome.
Now let's introduce you to our trainees.
Come.
These are our 5 trainees chosen from our bootcamp.
In the front is Ke Xin
Over there is Pan Nan
Next to her is Daisy
Over there is Yin Xia Mo
She works very hard.
These 5 trainees have their own strengths
but they are new and have a lot to learn
I came here today because
there is an old friend here
That's great. Your friend is my friend.
I will make sure to take care of them.
Who is it?
Stop a moment.
Line up.
Luo Xi
is your teacher
I'm pretty sure I don't need to introduce him since you all know him.
He deliberately came today to see you.
Just now I heard that Luo Xi
has an old friend amongst you all
I do not know who it is
This student
is too mysterious
You should have told us
so if you are eliminated
how am I supposed give Luo Xi a proper explanation?
Hello
I am Luo Xi
Looks like its Xia Mo
No way.
You look better like this.
Long time no see.
Yeah, haven't seen you in a year.
When did you come back?
I want to take A Nan out for a meal.
No problem
A Nan, you go eat with Luo Xi
Old friends, take your time.
No need to hurry, go.
Let's go.
You guys keep practicing.
Just now, how do you feel about Luo Xi taking off your ponytail?
What feeling?
If it was me, I would hold onto that hairband.
I'll give it to you.
Why do you tie it up? It looks good down.
It's not convenient to dance in.
Practice, practice.
Whenever I hear that word, I want to throw up.
What's wrong? Eating these disgusting foods everyday,
even if I want to eat healthily, there's no point.
You finally admit these foods are hard to eat.
There's no difference between people.
You're talking about
Pan Nan right? Who else?
Looks good, dances well.
Background is also good.
You can still eat those?
If you're not full, where do you find the energy to dance?
Still dancing?
Your good friend Pan Nan has already gotten a free ride (phrase is hard
to translate-- a person who has taken advantage of someone/something)
And didn't bring you along
Your heart is really big
Whether its big or not has nothing to do with you.
And Pan Nan's situation has to do with her own strength
Everyone can see that. It has nothing to do with the CEO.
I'm full.
What's wrong with you? Are you sick? No.
If you're not sick, why do you look like that.
This movement is so simple,
You are so lethargic, none of you three can keep up.
If you don't want to practice then say so. I don't have time to waste with you.
What's the use of dancing well? Nothing.
Success doesn't just rely on skills.
So you all think that way right?
Alright, then don't bother practicing.
This is a practice room.
Not a little child's classroom.
Cry. Go out and cry.
After you're done crying, then practice.
Sorry for any inaccuracies, I am not a native Chinese
speaker so forgive me if I make mistakes. Thank you!
