Standing in the Time Episode 22
I care more about our love than the publication of a book.
Did you find her?
Say whether
you dare to meet her.
You prefer me as a proofreader or a fashion editor?
I like you in every aspect.
Your books are sold by your appearance, do you know?
You executive editors should be to blame
for failing to promote my book well.
Your boyfriend Zhou Zimo is so popular.
Do you know?
Yes, he is.
Haochen, who offended you?
Why are you so angry?
Your boyfriend Zhou Zimo.
Zhou Zimo?
He is at the signing and selling meeting the whole day.
How did he offend you?
I went shopping with Ai Xiaomin yesterday.
After seeing Zhou Zimo's poster on the street,
Ai Xiaomin was fascinated by him.
I was shopping for clothes, but she asked me
to buy that suit Zhou Zimo wears.
What's worse, after I went out of the fitting room finally,
she disliked me in every aspect.
She thought I was not as handsome as Zhou Zimo, not as tall as him
and not as graceful as him.
She thought I insulted her idol.
Do you mean Emmy becomes a fan of Zhou Zimo?
Before Zhou Zimo became popular, Ai Xiaomin wasn't so obsessed with him.
After he becomes popular suddenly, she is so obsessed with him.
She bought the same lipstick and said it was Zhou Zimo's favorite color.
Each of her and her friends has one.
She even established Zhou Zimo's Fans Club with her friends.
What the hell!
Stop that.
Entertainment time is over.
Well, Haochen, have you finished your work?
Li Xiao, how is the second-time proofreading of Learn to Love going on?
Even if Situ Jiayi is unwilling to come forward,
we have to publish the book.
Director,
I don't want to give up.
I still want to fight for it.
You did your best.
The party concerned is unwilling to investigate,
so there's nothing we can do.
What are you doing?
Send a post to call for readers' support.
I want Situ Jiayi to stand out bravely and see how popular with people
her past book is.
At least, she should be responsible for readers in favor of her.
Do you think how much pressure it'll cause her?
A writer should be responsible for both herself and even her readers.
I support.
Well, just defend her.
Sooner or later she'll make big trouble.
You also defend her.
And I don't think she did anything wrong.
A proofreader doesn't just focus on the right and wrong.
Director, I want to meet Situ Jiayi again.
If I fail this time, I'll give up
and finish the second-time proofreading carefully.
Thank you, director.
Mr. Lu, wait and see.
Before you retire, you can't be conferred an academic title.
Right?
This photo looks good.
The suit looks good.
Li Xiao, will you go out?
Look this. This one is good.
Emmy,
I like your lipstick color.
What else do you want?
Where's your boss?
Jiayi doesn't want to see you.
I must see her now.
Look at the scene in the store.
Everyone holds the book City of Light.
Jiayi can't go out.
You can't go in there.
Miss Situ.
You can't go in there.
Miss Situ.
Jiayi, she insists…
It's OK.
Close the door.
Miss Situ.
So sorry.
I sent a post on the forum as I couldn't think of other better ways.
I hope you can forgive me.
If you're here to apologize,
I accept your apology.
But if you try to persuade me to come forward,
I've already expressed my attitude.
Miss Situ,
I believe you've seen more than 95%
of the readers on the forum support you to come forward and voice.
Before I came to your teahouse, my colleague said this post
had been topped.
What does that mean?
And everyone in your teahouse holds the book City of Light.
What does that mean again?
They're supporting you.
They're supporting you silently.
To put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with me or our Publishing Press.
But it has something to do with these readers who once read City of Light.
They're innocent.
Think about it.
How can they accept the work which once touched them has a new name
and a new writer now?
You give up, so there is such a plagiarism.
They don't know the love between you and Cheng Anye.
But you just hurt them for the love.
This is what I want to say at last.
Sorry to disturb you.
Miss Li,
do you want to hear the story of this book?
Seven years ago,
I just got to Paris.
The sun was very good that afternoon.
Sitting on a chair outside Les Deux Magots,
I saw Cheng Anye for the first time.
Sitting in the sun,
he used a pen
to write on a notebook.
Later I borrowed a cigarette from him.
After that,
we were together.
To be honest, we were really hard up back then,
but maybe because we were young,
we thought the air,
sunshine and smell there
were really easy to arouse inspiration
and love.
Anye and I stayed in the attic
of an old house of Sixth Arrondissement.
It was an attic of over 10 square meters
but full of sunshine.
We ate bread of 0,8 euros
and smoked bad Camel tobacco every day.
We watched some performances and exhibitions free from tickets.
Slowly, we felt we had much to talk.
With the inspiration gushing out naturally,
we kept writing little by little.
Then we finished City of Light.
Amid the light from the attic skylight,
there is the city of only me and him.
And then we broke up.
This is the story of the book.
So it doesn't
belong to myself.
This is our common memory.
So City of Light
is your common work?
Later, he began to plagiarize others' works.
No one bought
his first plagiarism.
He thought it wasn't a successful plagiarism.
Then he began his second and third plagiarisms.
He lied in words
and put the words he plagiarized in his book to build a completely
emotionless story.
I saw his pain
when he was plagiarizing.
I also saw his pain when his manuscript was refused.
Again and again.
Such pain came repeatedly.
We quarreled over it.
We quarreled fiercely.
We also quarreled again and again
until I couldn't stand
and fled in panic.
I left without saying good-bye.
I once
asked him
whether we could contribute City of Light and have a try.
But he refused
and said we could publish it after we became famous.
In this case, it would live up to City of Light.
Today,
do you think
it actually lives up to City of Light?
Well, Zimo, get closer to me.
It really looks so good.
Li Xiao.
Come over now. Let's take photos.
I, I ask Zimo for his signatures for my good friends.
I can see Zimo.
I couldn't go to the signing and selling meeting.
Li Xiao.
Don't misunderstand. Let me tell you.
I helped Zimo establish a fans club with my friends
to increase his popularity.
Zimo is the only star among my friends.
Zimo.
Don't handle it. Don't handle it.
Go to chase her now.
So strange.
I don't know.
Li Xiao, why are you back?
Ms. Shi.
You look unhappy.
You were refused by Situ Jiayi, right?
I expected that.
You sent the post so rashly, which will cause injury and distress
to both Situ Jiayi and Cheng Anye.
What are you thinking?
Nothing.
Well, do you work overtime tonight?
Wu Yu urged me to submit the manuscript tomorrow.
Ms. Shi,
if two persons have a big gap, isn't there love between them
even if they love each other?
After Cheng Anye became famous,
he broke up with Situ Jiayi.
Now Zimo also becomes famous.
I'm afraid we'll repeat their story.
Everyone's love is different.
The reasons for breaking up are also different.
Don't force it on you.
But I'm really worried he'll change.
The only constant thing in the world is change.
He changes, but you also change.
Now you become self-abased.
So you'd rather enrich yourself than feel sorry for yourself here.
Remember only an independent woman has the initiative.
Sorry. Sorry.
Excuse me.
Do you know any place to stay here?
Forget it. Sorry to disturb you.
Do you mean a hotel or…
No, I don't have much money with me,
so I may not afford a hotel.
I know a place.
Let me take you there.
Really?
Haven't you had supper yet?
I just poured hot water into it.
OK, thanks.
Are you a singer?
Yes.
What about you?
I am a model.
Model?
Why did you think to come to Shanghai?
I think Shanghai has a lot of opportunities.
Now many bars have on-site regular singers.
I believe some musicians may take to the songs I wrote.
But people are also
under a lot of pressure in Shanghai.
It doesn't matter. I don't fear tiredness.
I believe that as long as I stick to it, I'll make it.
Eat now. The noodles are done.
OK.
You're back.
You have piles of gifts.
Luckily, a security guard helped me carry them here.
Are they all for me?
Yes.
Your female fans gave you.
There're also some letters and postcards to Leiyang.
To Leiyang?
Yes.
Listen, it's illegal to read others' letters secretly.
Is it strange?
They ask about your life as a model in the letters to Leiyang
and what book you will write next in the letters to Zhou Zimo.
Well, are you actually Zhou Zimo or Leiyang?
Are there any instant noodles?
I also want some.
As a model,
you can't eat such junk food.
When I was in the convenient store,
I often had them.
So I'm a little greedy.
Well,
pickled turnip and pickled mustard tuber, which one do you choose?
I could have them randomly.
But your question
makes me confused.
What do you mean?
Then let me ask in another way.
For example,
you originally liked pickled turnip, but one day you found
pickled mustard tuber also tasted good
after having it without other choice.
Now pickled turnip and pickled mustard tuber are both served before you.
Which one do you choose?
I choose pickled turnip.
Why?
Because as you said, I originally liked pickled turnip.
Listen.
One's taste is hard to change.
Well, stop talking about them with me.
Each has its tastes.
Whichever you like,
don't mix them.
You're back.
What are you doing?
I get some posters.
Stick it up. Stick it up.
Here is good. It's obvious.
Like this.
Well,
now Zimo is so popular with lots of fans.
He promised to send our restaurant on his Weibo.
Then we'll become a famous online restaurant.
We'll have busy business.
Don't stick them up.
Are you at odds with Zimo?
Do two people only cherish each other when they are in trouble?
Do you still remember that plagiarism case I told you last time?
Yes.
In fact, Cheng Anye and Situ Jiayi were a couple and they created
City of Light together.
It's the witness to their love.
However, after Cheng Anye became famous,
he got farther and farther away from Situ Jiayi.
Now Zimo is so excellent.
I think we have a bigger and bigger gap.
As long as I think of his future, I'll get very panic.
Xiao, you're so excellent.
I think you're worried about too much.
Don't always have a bee in your head.
If you can't figure out something, talk with Zimo directly.
But when seeing him now, I don't know what I should talk to him at all.
I think you can't accept the fact that he becomes famous for the moment.
In any circumstance, you can talk to him directly.
So hungry. Do you have anything to eat?
Yes.
I just made wontons stuffed with shepherd's-purse.
I'll cook for them.
10 or 25 ones?
30 ones.
OK.
The stars in the night are as bright as your eyes.
I follow its direction in the vast crowd of people.
It's a sleepless night again.
I imagine your smile
is reflected in my heart wall.
Love falls from heaven.
On the way to pursue dreams, you're walking beside me.
After confirming your eye expression, I won't panic.
After getting through flightiness and storms, can we know how hot love is.
Guard the time together.
Our hearts soar.
Hold my hand.
Let time prove it.
Time flies.
Never leave any regret.
Don't let our agreement on time down.
Director.
Li Xiao, have you finished the second-time proofreading?
Well,
you worked the whole night?
Director, I still don't want to accept it.
Situ Jiayi is so pitiful.
Cheng Anye does this, showing he disrespects their past.
You've done your best.
Process is the most important.
Not every thing has a result.
Did I say something wrong?
Well.
Even if it doesn't end well, it's at least an experience, right?
Just shut up.
Well, what did I say wrong again?
Liang, go ahead.
Yes. What director said is right.
Have you sent the third-time proofread manuscript?
I'll go now.
Why are you here?
What can I do for you?
Is your proofreader Li Xiao?
Yes, what's wrong?
I want to see her.
Did you send this post?
Yes.
You've done so much unduly.
As a proofreader, you shouldn't care about this.
You pushed her in the teeth of the storm so rashly.
Do you think the influence on her life and the consequences?
Are you worrying about her
or your new book?
Don't worry.
Situ Jiayi won't sue you.
Because she thinks that time when she spent with you in France
is much more important than plagiarism itself.
What did you say?
I heard a story.
A simple but profound love story between two young people
living in a foreign country.
No matter it's called Learn to Love
or City of Light,
it's the witness to their love.
Each word
contains their most sincere feelings.
Are you familiar?
Do you still remember
0,8 euros of bread
and the small attic of over 10 square meters?
Amid the light from the attic skylight,
there is the city of only you and her.
Do you remember these?
Or do you think
you're qualified to publish the past City of Light?
Yes, you're famous now.
Even if you change the book name,
are you really qualified to do this?
Do your acts
really treat the past fairly?
I guess he must go to meet Situ Jiayi.
Li Xiao,
if there is something wrong with your love,
make it clear.
As you said, Situ Jiayi was also wrong as she left
without telling Cheng Anye back then.
If there are any disputes,
misunderstandings and contradictions between two people,
it's better to make them clear.
Am I right?
Carrot.
I hate it most.
You learnt to make
carrot cake.
I thought I could only have it in my dream this life.
It's the specialty of my teahouse
and it sells very well.
When did you leave that small attic?
Did you find a Publishing Press
for your new book back then?
That book you plagiarized from Yunzhi's work?
The next day after you went,
I left.
I found a Publishing Press.
They agreed to publish it,
making me so excited.
I wanted to come back to tell you quickly.
As a result, the landlord, an old lady, said you had moved away.
I looked everywhere for you.
I contacted all your French and Chinese friends in France,
but I couldn't find you at all.
After going back to the attic,
I found there was your breath in each corner.
I just
checked out directly.
After paying the rent, I went home.
Pay the rent?
You focused on writing, so you had no money.
I gave her all the money I earned from part-time jobs.
I paid the rent of half a year for you.
Then we paid the rent double.
My God.
How could she do that?
So unreasonable.
Do you remember how hard she was to us?
Surely.
She stopped us from doing this and that.
We're cultured French people.
We're unlike you Chinese.
This is not in China.
Some French people are like this.
You know.
So unreasonable.
You moved away later.
Where did you go?
I, I went home.
No way.
I looked for you in your home, but you weren't there.
Your mom said you didn't come back.
Actually, I was on the second floor.
You didn't come in, did you?
My God.
Well.
You said you had found a Publishing Press
for the book you plagiarized from Yunzhi's work.
Why wasn't it published?
It was withdrawn.
When we were together, we often quarreled due to my plagiarism.
It was endless.
After you left suddenly,
I understood.
I understood suddenly.
In fact,
I've always wanted to ask you.
Why do you
want to publish
City of Light now?
Do you really want to keep your promise?
To find you.
I deliberately changed the book name
and removed your name.
When it's published,
you'll sue me
as you hate me to do that most.
This is the only way I can find you.
Unexpectedly,
Li Xiao, that young proofreader
of Dongfan Press,
let me find you before the book is published.
Do you think I should thank her?
Now you found me.
And then?
Two ways.
Add your name
and change the name back into City of Light
or withdraw it.
Li Xiao showed me your manuscript.
You added a lot of content.
I think it's good.
You should publish it.
Then choose the first road.
Now I have this teahouse.
I feel good
and quiet.
And I don't want to publish any book.
I don't have the ability.
Jiayi.
Can I
have the carrot cake again?
I mean at any time?
My teahouse is open regularly.
One is 14 yuan.
You can have it at any time.
OK. Pass.
OK. Turn off.
Come to the right.
No. Watch the video. Watch the video.
Place it according to the video.
Is this the video?
It's such a cold day.
Why didn't you take off his coat?
This…
The position of that shot is here.
On the right.
Yes.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Yes, no problem.
Listen.
I have to copy this reference video.
Finally, on the right side of the bridge.
Which side is it?
Right. Right.
Is it on the right? Is this on the right?
Yes. OK.
Tell the actor later.
Ask him to make this pose.
Make the pose according to the pose of the model.
OK.
OK?
OK.
Is it warm?
Much warm.
Xiao,
do I have a future?
