Standing in the Time Episode 28
Why did you say that you're my boyfriend?
Whenever your mom meets me, she is very happy.
What if I also take it seriously?
Do you?
Do you know what I want most now?
I don't know.
I don't know what you want now, either.
Is Liang Ni a big shot?
Liang Ni can be said to be a master in the international fashion circle.
This concept is too old-fashioned.
I made this plan five years ago.
I need new plans by noon tomorrow.
Three new plans by noon tomorrow?
I don't care.
It's your own business.
You must finish it.
What did Liang Ni mean?
She was clearly intentional.
I've long heard that she was on bad terms with Amanda before.
It doesn't seem groundless.
We can do nothing about it.
The publisher and the brand both accept her.
In view of her capacity and position, Amanda can only endure it.
Xia Fan, what are you going to do?
Who can make three plans in such a short time?
Xia Fan, shall I tell Amanda that I can help you out?
No, thanks.
I can fix it myself.
Really?
You must think it over.
Once it's not done, can you handle the consequences?
Don't blame me for not reminding you.
Liang Ni's book is your first fashion magazine in the proofreading industry.
You are the only one who can do it in the Proofreading Section.
Well, I specially keep it for you.
Liang Ni's book.
Mr. Lu.
Do you think I'm getting farther and farther from fashion now?
Li Xiao, you are the fashion spokesperson of the whole Proofreading Section.
Look at what you wear.
If you are far from fashion, who is close to fashion?
Could it be
Ms. Shi Lei?
Mr. Lu, what do you mean by that?
Why do you laugh?
Li Xiao, this is your area of expertise.
The better you are at it, the more serious you are about it.
I trust you.
Come on.
I have prepared two plans, a retro theme and a future theme.
The retro theme requires a mottled wall as the background
and some age-sensitive props.
The future theme creates a space with a strong sense
of science and technology by light and shadow.
In these two extreme environments,
brand clothing can achieve perfect integration
as well as achieve alternative skipping.
I think Liang Ni can choose either one.
I don't think so, Xia Fan.
I think you should make a plan according to Zimo's temperament.
That's the most unique thing.
Think about it. Since the brand chose Zimo, there must be some reason.
So you should highlight the temperament of Zimo instead of the atmosphere.
Absolutely not.
Today, Liang Ni almost gave up Zhou Zimo.
She has prejudiced against him.
Liang Ni doesn't know Zhou Zimo, so you have to introduce her.
Look,
this brand's style is casual, lethargic and dark.
Since it chose Zhou Zimo,
you should highlight the warm and romantic atmosphere
in the connotation of this style.
Don't pour oil on the flames.
You're in the line of fire.
Do you think Liang Ni would feel Zhou Zimo is warm and romantic?
Besides, the tone of the brand is cold and distant.
What is it like if you put the warmth and romance in it?
This is the contrast, Xia Fan.
This is what the brand wants.
So you should tell Liang Ni the tone of Zhou Zimo.
She couldn't listen.
Do you think she can listen to it?
Who is Zhou Zimo?
Is he a big shot?
He's a newcomer, a newcomer who argued with her.
Don't design like this because of Zhou Zimo.
It's too risky, Li Xiao.
Are you here to help me?
Of course I'm helping you.
But you don't trust me now.
I trust you.
I really trust you.
But you don't understand the situation.
I think you have to listen to me.
How about this?
Anyway, I'm going to help you make one.
You just let me try this plan.
You already have two mature ideas.
You can just use mine as an alternative, OK?
Let me tell you, I really can't gamble now.
If this plan offends her, I'll pay for it, Li Xiao.
That's easy.
You write Li Xiao on this plan.
If anything goes wrong, it's my fault.
I will use this as an alternative.
Why are you so stubborn?
Enough.
I'll hand it over to you before dawn.
You decide whether to use it or not.
Who is it?
It's me.
Why are you here?
I passed by and bought you some night snack.
Why did Mr. Wu come at this late hour?
Why are you here?
Why can't I be here?
What about you?
Sorry,
I didn't buy night snack for you.
I know.
I'll give you all the time today.
If I'm in your way, you'll have to trouble me
when I get back to the Publishing Press.
I will hand it over to you before dawn.
Take care when you go home alone.
It's so late. What's the matter?
Yes, I'm here to…
There's one thing
I want to return to you.
Your mom gave it to me,
but I think it's not appropriate for me to keep it.
So... Here.
What did you do to her?
I didn't do anything.
Then why did she give it to you?
I'm here to explain to you.
You know what?
When she gave it to me,
the expression on her face and her condition made me wonder how to refuse.
What do you mean by that?
Will normal people accept such a thing?
Xia Fan,
can you calm down a little bit?
I hope you can understand why your mom behaved like this.
Would she have done this if she hadn't been in a bad state?
And she doesn't want you to know because she knows you.
She doesn't know me.
Now she thinks I'm a kid for the college entrance examination.
She's not in good condition.
Are you not in good condition either?
She doesn't know what she is doing.
How dare you accept it?
This ring has been worn by my mom for almost 30 years.
My dad put it on her when they got married.
Wu Yu,
I appreciate your care for my mom
and me, but I'm not ready yet.
I also don't want to let others casually peep into my heart without my permission.
Let me tell you, I can't accept it.
Please don't do that again.
I didn't want to peep into you.
All I did was to help you and take care of your mom.
No need.
As I said,
I thanked you before,
but I don't need it from now on.
Stop here.
I beg you.
Xia Fan.
I'm tired.
Can you patiently…
I told you I'm tired.
…listen to my explanation?
It's irresponsible of you to escape like this, you know?
You have explained it very clearly.
I have the right to choose whether to escape.
I'm tired.
I want to rest.
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.
Zimo.
Hello, Xiao.
I had a quarrel with Liang Ni today.
I knew.
How did you know that?
Xia Fan has looked for me.
Xiao, I wasn't deliberately late.
I'm under a lot of pressure and very nervous.
Zimo, don't worry.
I'm working on a plan for Xia Fan which really suits you right now.
I'll make Liang Ni accept you.
Xiao.
Trust me and trust yourself.
You will succeed.
Well, I will.
Good night.
First of all, I think that for a brand,
whatever style the theme is,
it must rely on models to interpret.
And you chose a very excellent model.
His temperament derives from his experience.
He was a young writer who was once famous when young,
but also lonely and helpless.
At one time his writing was not recognized,
but he insisted on what he wanted to express most in his heart.
This created his lonely and melancholy appearance
which often gives people a sense of distance.
It is also this character that occasionally hides his true side,
but when we touch the softest part of his heart,
his eyes will show a kind of gentleness and warmth.
This is precisely the most precious thing
that others cannot present.
Zhou Zimo is a simple person
with a simple life
and simple emotion.
It is like the theme I'm trying to explain, less is more.
Simplicity often brings people more enjoyment.
Life is also the pursuit of such simplicity and warmth.
Li Xiao.
You try to refresh it again.
Don't bother.
Is there a problem with our network?
I have refreshed the network several times.
It's nothing to do with the internet.
An email. An email. An email.
From Liang Ni.
Xia Fan. Xia Fan.
Liang Ni has sent an email.
I've read all three plans.
Carry out in accordance with Plan 1.
Xia Fan.
It passed, Xia Fan.
Congratulations.
Congratulations, Xia Fan.
It finally passed.
It passed.
Liang Ni adopted my Plan 1, the retro style.
But thank you for your help.
I'll invite you to dinner later.
Congratulations.
When will you film?
Tomorrow.
What's wrong with you again?
Ms. Shi,
I find that I have made progress after working in the Proofreading Section
for a long time.
The book of this fashion master is just so-so.
Sort out clothes.
How long will it take us here?
Wait a minute. Give me ten minutes.
Are you ready?
Xia Fan,
tell me the truth.
Have you found an alternative?
I heard Liang Ni say…
Don't think about that.
Forget everything that happened before.
If you're in good shape, no one is going to replace you.
What if…
Take it easy.
You just treat it as normal filming.
Don't forget that you have worked so hard.
You must show it.
Believe in yourself and Liang Ni.
Tingting, we can almost start here.
OK.
I'd love to see you on the spot.
But I can't get away from my work hours.
Go for it.
You are the best.
By the way, is Li Xiao from your Editorial Department?
Li Xiao had an internship here, but in the end I didn't admit her.
How do you know Li Xiao?
I don't know her.
But where did she go later?
She should still be in Dongfan, but she seems to be in the Proofreading Section.
Proofreading Section?
What's up?
Nothing, I'm just asking.
My book is going to be published by Dongfan.
Somebody recommended her to me.
Since she's a proofreader,
I'm wondering if I'll hand the book over to her.
OK. Everything is ready.
Let the model be in place.
Let's get started.
Zimo.
The model is OK.
I didn't expect you to be so quiet at the scene.
In my impression, your style is not like this.
Does the filming go well?
How is his performance?
Stop.
Is Liang Ni satisfied?
Sorry, it's my problem.
Your body language and facial expressions are not what I want.
I don't want to see your cool state just now.
That's not what I want.
I hope I can see warmth in your eyes.
This brand's style is casual, lethargic and dark.
Since it chose Zhou Zimo,
you should highlight
the warm and romantic atmosphere in the connotation of this style.
You're already handsome.
So you give people a sense of distance on the surface.
If you can convey warmth from your eyes,
then I take back my previous judgment on you.
How is it, Zhou Zimo?
Show me.
Are you going to stand here foolishly all the time?
Zhou Zimo, please answer me.
Can you do it?
Ms. Liang Ni, how about letting our model take a rest first?
Adjust the status. We…
It seems impossible.
Fine.
I'll stick to my previous point of view
and replace him.
Replace him with a more professional foreign male model.
Ms. Liang Ni, if…
I didn't ask for your opinion.
Ms. Liang Ni,
please give me a little more time.
I must adjust my condition well.
Sorry.
My time is precious.
I don't have time to waste on you.
We don't need to replace the model.
This situation is perfectly adjustable.
Amanda, I hope you can think about it from a professional point of view.
I think about it from my professional point of view.
We can adjust him at this time instead of replacing him.
It makes no sense.
In my judgment,
he can't do it.
I know more about my exclusive model.
What's more, Zhou Zimo is accepted by the brand.
Don't forget it.
I'm also accepted by the brand,
otherwise I won't be here.
I've made concessions on the plan,
but the exclusive model is my bottom line.
I will never allow you to replace Zhou Zimo.
Even if you want to replace,
you should replace the foreign female model and turn her into a Chinese model.
Zhou Zimo,
you can leave.
You go on filming.
You must finish filming.
Zimo.
Leave me alone.
OK.
What happened?
Tell me when it's over.
Wait for you.
Xia Fan,
I sent you a WeChat message.
Why didn't you reply to me?
Did it not go well?
Liang Ni and Amanda quarreled seriously because of Zhou Zimo.
Why?
Liang Ni was not satisfied with him and insisted on replacing him.
Where is Zhou Zimo now?
He's in the studio now.
I, I don't think you should go.
I was just trying to comfort him.
Sometimes it's bad to say too much.
I'll go and find him first.
Li Xiao,
I can't understand one thing in particular.
What is it?
At that time, Liang Ni decided to use my plan,
the retro plan, right?
She just let
Zhou Zimo express and convey warmth on the spot.
This is the core of your plan.
I don't know what she wanted to do.
How did that happen?
Zimo could not be brought into full play on the spot.
Moreover, the tone of my plan is cold and distant.
Fine, Xia Fan.
Let's drop this topic now.
I'm going to look for him.
Don't be too straight.
Pay attention to your way.
Zimo,
if you feel bad,
I hope you don't hold it in your heart.
I have been denied.
Xiao, I can't do it well.
Don't think about what she said.
Her recognition and refusal means nothing.
Don't take other people's thoughts too seriously.
But there's one thing I don't understand.
Why did she choose something other than the plan?
Does she want me to shrink back from difficulties?
Maybe,
maybe she had other ideas,
or she didn't have to give you this chance, did she?
I'm confused.
Forget about it.
I don't want to think about it.
Zimo, what else can we do?
It is meaningless.
How can it be meaningless?
It is meaningful.
Because I don't think
this should end up like this.
I don't want it to end up like this, either.
This is a step
and an opportunity
for me.
For me now, there is no one
who is more professional
and more authoritative than Liang Ni.
Am I right?
I used to be so unwilling to be a model,
but then I became a model,
and now I am still a model.
I didn't think I would feel so sad and uncomfortable
for a career that I once rejected and disliked so much.
Zimo,
do you remember our first meeting?
I was in internship at that time.
You were also down.
However,
now you aren't a writer
and I am not a fashion editor.
You became a model
while I became a proofreader.
But at least you do a good job and work hard as a model.
I am more and more confident
about my proofreading.
That's all right.
You don't need to prove your excellence to others,
because you are just the way you are.
Zimo,
I will always be with you.
Xiao,
I love you.
Sir, you've overdone it.
Leave me alone.
Don't go on working out in this way.
You don't pay attention to breathing.
Your movements are not standard.
Everything has to be done step by step.
You need to treasure every muscle, you know?
Don't work out like that.
You can't work out like that.
Look, you can't bear it.
Why bother?
You…
What are you doing?
You worked out blindly just now.
Now you drink cool water crazily.
Can your heart-lung revive?
Work-out stresses health and bodybuilding
instead of venting and destroying yourself, buddy.
Buddy.
Yes, buddy?
If you have questions, ask me.
I'm professional.
Ask me.
Are you finished?
How is he now?
Did you comfort him?
So is his condition now good?
I have found
a foreign male model.
Tomorrow I'll take him to Liang Ni.
Zimo is not at all wrong about it.
We can't blame him.
Doesn't Liang Ni need gentle eyes?
So let's take a group of gentle eyes and show them to her, OK?
It's too late.
I said just now that Liang Ni is going to meet a new model tomorrow.
Li Xiao,
I can understand your mood, but if you stick to it like this,
I'm afraid Zimo will suffer more harm.
Can you take out the brand clothes?
Can you make an appointment with another photographer?
Tomorrow?
Is it too late for tomorrow?
We can't even book a studio.
I have a place.
What are you doing?
I insert the plug.
You do it.
You first.
I'm going to put my lamp here.
You connect the line over there?
The lamp is put over there?
I have a socket inside.
Wait a minute.
Where do you move it?
The room.
I need to use it.
Fine. Tell me where to put it.
Let me do it.
Wu Yu, if you have something you don't understand,
open your mouth and ask Xia Fan.
Don't work there blindly by yourself.
Come on.
Xia Fan,
did you have a quarrel after I left your house last time?
No.
Why did we have a quarrel?
Indeed.
We didn't need to have a quarrel.
You think we are as naive
as you and Zhou Zimo?
Why do you look so pale today?
Really?
Yes, a little bit.
This is the lipstick I gave you.
Here you are.
No.
Come on.
This color matches you well.
Li Xiao.
It is none of your business.
Fine. Fine. It is none of my business.
But I want to ask you two.
Who are we taking pictures for today?
Liang Ni.
Who will we film?
Zhou Zimo.
That's right.
We are going to film Zhou Zimo.
Why do you flirt here?
Do you want to steal the show?
Be professional.
