Standing in the Time Episode 29
Today, Liang Ni
almost gave up Zhou Zimo.
She has prejudiced against him.
You're in the line of fire.
What did you do to her?
I didn't do anything.
Then why did she
give it to you?
The book of this fashion master
is just so-so.
I hope
I can see
warmth in your eyes.
Zhou Zimo is accepted by the brand.
I'm also accepted by the brand.
We are going to film Zhou Zimo.
Why do you flirt here?
Do you want to steal the show?
Be professional.
Zimo, you're back.
This is Ms. Wu, a photographer.
You're back.
Quickly. Look.
For your great model career,
my home becomes your film studio.
Don't blame me
for providing you with no support later.
Your clothes are in Wu Yu's room.
After you adjust yourself,
we'll begin.
What do you mean?
Zhou Zimo,
tomorrow is the deadline.
Will you fight for it or not?
If you perform well
here today,
I'll find Liang Ni
with the finished photos tomorrow.
Zimo,
you'll win for sure.
Even if we lose,
we should also know why.
Right?
He is indeed
like a super model.
Zimo. Zimo.
Don't pay too much attention to physical movements.
Try to find
the warm and tender feeling
Liang Ni wants.
Relax.
Try again, OK?
No. No. Zimo.
That's not true. That's not true.
Is this a soft expression?
Stop kidding.
I think softness
is closely related to your eye expression.
There has to be something in your eyes.
I think you should
wear a smile.
Have a smile.
Try smiling.
Yes. Smile. Smile.
That's it.
This is not bad.
Wu Yu.
What's up?
Will you stop interrupting?
I am not.
As a layman, I can tell
his expression is wrong.
That's not softness.
Well, if you can,
just try.
I'm not a model.
Yes.
But you shouldn't think I don't understand
as I am not a model, right?
That's not what a man's tenderness is,
Xia Fan.
Is this the tenderness and softness
you want?
The power of love is so strong
that such a cold person
is even influenced.
If we still fail
after working so hard,
I'll think I let you down
and feel so sad.
Zimo,
don't say that.
Just like you did for me,
everything I've done for you
is worthwhile.
Right?
Ms. Wu, what would you like to drink?
Beer is OK.
OK.
Here you are.
OK. Thanks.
Well, here you are.
In my home that day,
I was
a little irrational.
I said something hurting you.
I hope you don't mind.
What are you talking about?
I forgot.
I really want to apologize to you.
You're right.
Sometimes,
I should open my mind.
But maybe it's easy said
than done.
I hope you can understand.
Chen, what's wrong?
Is it convenient for you to talk now?
Yes. Yes.
Go ahead.
Why are you calling me so late?
What happened to my mom?
She is fine.
She just wants to call you.
Why have you seldom
visited her recently?
Though she doesn't tell me,
I feel she wants to see you so much.
Lately,
lately I've been so busy with work.
I neglected her.
So is she asleep now?
Not yet.
She keeps her eyes open
and speaks your name constantly.
Give your cell phone to her.
Fan.
Fan. Fan.
Mom.
Why haven't you slept?
I've been so busy recently.
When I am free after several days,
I'll go to visit you.
You'll have an exam tomorrow.
Go to bed early.
Mom, how do you know
I'll have an exam tomorrow?
Will you
have an exam tomorrow?
Don't worry.
My boyfriend is reviewing with me.
Then let me hear his voice.
Mrs. Xia, it's me.
Don't worry.
Fan will
do very well
in the exam tomorrow.
I'll stay with her.
Sleep early.
Sleep now.
When I am free, I'll go and visit you.
You seldom come
lately,
so she misses you so much.
Thank you. Go to bed early.
OK. OK.
It's happy
to have someone
in spiritual connection with you.
What do you think?
Here you are.
Thanks.
In the exam tomorrow,
if anyone dares to fail you,
I'll be the first to oppose him.
It's never my standard
to get a pass.
You come to me silently,
like the warmth of the sun.
Unconsciously, the feeling overflows.
This is my pink secret.
I see myself smiling
in your eyes.
You're the answer to my riddle.
The answer is crystal clear and transparent.
Xia Fan,
I warn you
not to do this.
It's meaningless
for you to say these now.
Have you thought it over? Have you?
I've prepared well
the information for you.
Submit it.
No,
I have to fight for him again.
Coming. Coming.
Liang Ni is coming.
Ms. Liang Ni.
Have you found
a foreign male model?
Show me his information.
Is it so hard
to find a foreign male model?
Can you handle it or not?
In fact, I've prepared…
Please watch
these photos.
Why is it still him?
I want a foreign male model.
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
Sorry, Ms. Liang Ni.
Please watch these photos
of Zhou Zimo.
As he didn't
show his true
shooting state
in the studio,
I invited someone
to shoot these photos.
Will you decide after watching them?
Who is this girl?
Her name is Li Xiao.
That plan three, Li Xiao...
Yes.
Are they a couple?
Yes.
Ms. Liang Ni,
can these photos
reach your requirements?
He really makes a special effort.
He attaches great importance to the shoot.
He should be very sad, too, right?
Yes.
But if a young man
can't bear
such a torture and blow,
he won't succeed.
Ms. Liang Ni,
I think you have a point.
What are you thinking,
Mo?
What, indeed?
I'm solving the problem.
Don't you believe
our special model?
You don't believe RESA,
right?
Xia Fan,
this is not the time to show loyalty.
The shoot should continue.
How long will you
spend your time on Zhou Zimo?
I'll hold on to
the thing I think right.
Director, what's the matter?
Why do you call me back so urgently?
I haven't finished my lunch.
It's lunch break.
Well, Li Xiao,
as you marked
some questions to be confirmed
on the proofreading script,
Ms. Liang Ni
wants to
talk to you face to face.
Are you Li Xiao?
Hello, I'm Li Xiao.
Can you explain it to me?
Well,
I am unclear with some details
in the chapters
about your memories of the past.
Why don't you
mention those days
when you worked in RESA?
Because I know clearly
you worked in RESA for 5 years.
During those 5 years, RESA happened
to develop the fastest.
You made a great contribution.
You also grew the fastest
in your profession.
But,
but you just mention in your book
you entered
the fashion circle formally
when you further studied in New York in 2001.
However, in fact,
when RESA was just set up in 1995,
you were already
a fashion editor.
Since this is
a fashion bible
including your memories,
why don't you mention
that period
which is the most important to you?
Is it important?
Li Xiao, it isn't important at all, right?
Li Xiao,
these questions you mention
are not necessary in this book.
Back then, RESA
was not famous at all.
Back then, Ms. Liang Ni
was also not
as famous as now, right?
So you still don't understand
what exactly readers want to read.
Can you let me finish?
Ms. Liang Ni,
you can accept
or refuse the advice
I just gave you.
I tell you these
completely out of
my feeling for RESA.
I admit
I infuse my feeling into this book
when proofreading it
as in those years when you
worked in RESA,
my mom
was encouraged.
So from childhood,
I've always regarded you
as my idol.
I'm sure those who admire you
will pay attention to the memory,
such as me.
If you don't mention it,
I think
this book
lacks a very important part.
What does this have to do with you?
Because I already
found out all the content
edited by you.
in each issue
of RESA Magazine.
And to be honest,
I personally think
if you
hadn't left,
you would be
the Editor-in-Chief of RESA Fashion.
Anything else?
No.
If I don't want
to recall
a memory
or want others to forget it,
it must have a reason.
So I can completely refuse
these questions you propose.
Ms. Liang Ni,
I know you're
unsatisfied with
the shooting
or that plan
I proposed,
but I still believe
my plan is the best one
and Zhou Zimo is also the best person.
Including these questions in your books
I just proposed,
whether you accept or refuse,
I still insist
on my own views.
Without doubt,
if you want to change a proofreader,
as long as you propose,
I can completely accept it.
I just,
I just hope you
don't hurt Zhou Zimo.
You're great.
Li Xiao,
I hope you,
I hope you and Zhou Zimo
don't let me down.
How was your trip to Hangzhou?
Very good. It went smoothly.
I thought to date you tomorrow morning,
but I didn't expect
you couldn't wait to see me.
Because I want
to finish the shooting which was disrupted last time
tomorrow.
From what you said,
I find you won't compromise this time?
Let's not
mention compromise.
Having known for years,
we should live with more confidence
and self-awareness.
Yes.
So many years passed.
We shouldn't keep auguring
due to a small model.
I won't argue with you.
I still hire Zhou Zimo as my model.
But I need to
change my plan.
We want to reuse Plan 3.
What's the matter?
Liang Ni,
according to my understanding of you,
were you interested in
Plan 3 in the beginning?
Were you also interested in
Zhou Zimo in the beginning?
You're indeed my old friend.
Tell me
what your purpose is.
I just
established my own company
in Shanghai,
so how about
yielding Zhou Zimo to me?
Impossible.
RESA has cultivated him for years
and made him a famous model
from an amateur model.
Do you think it's easy?
How can you plan to take him so easily?
As friends, we can negotiate.
Offer a price.
No matter for business or for private friendship,
offer a price.
OK.
Then I have to tell you
it's impossible.
Don't take it so seriously.
We're all businessmen.
Who is talking to you about business?
Do you take him
for your career?
Do you have any other ideas?
Yes, surely.
Go ahead.
When we were in RESA together,
there was feeling of gratitude or resentment between us.
Do you think
the then you and I
were exactly like Mo and Xia Fan,
your current subordinates?
In fact,
today I think the past contradictions
are all beautiful.
You can also
think about it from a different angle.
You've already been
the leading figure in the fashion world,
while I am just
a fashion Editor-in-Chief
in the office
of RESA.
How envious
I am of you!
You also hate me, right?
It sounds so unpleasant.
Luckily, I have no intersection of feelings
with you,
or I really…
Or you greatly hope
I die in a strange land.
How cruel you are!
You even curse yourself.
All right. I'm kidding.
How do you think about it?
Liang Ni,
I appreciate your honesty,
but I can't yield
in this matter.
OK. Let's not mention it.
We can give the matter further thought
and discuss it later,
but I can assure you
I'll devote every effort
to the shooting tomorrow.
OK?
Thank you so much.
Cheers.
Are you nervous?
I should ask you that.
But you
worked hard to help me win this chance.
This is the common effort
of us,
Wu Yu and Xia Fan.
I'm actually really nervous.
Zimo,
you can do it.
Don't think about failure.
You can do it.
Don't worry.
I'm sure I won't give up.
I thought
you were late.
Come on.
Xiao,
don't you come in with us?
No.
He'll make it for sure.
Then I'm going.
The background must be brighter,
which can show his warmth.
Eyebrows must not be particularly sharp.
I hope it can show
his coolness.
OK.
The makeup of eyes is the most important.
Show me the selected clothes.
I see.
They're all here.
All are ironed.
This piece.
The color is good.
But undo the buttons
in the process of shooting.
OK.
The effect will be better.
And this one.
This color is refreshing.
I hope the whole matching
also has this feeling.
OK.
Then let us check again.
OK.
Li Xiao,
if Haochen
were half as excellent
as your boyfriend Zimo, it would be good.
Liu Haochen is a nice man.
Haochen is really a nice man.
Don't you think
he is quite like a kid?
And he is so pure.
Yes.
He is very pure.
But his mom…
Well,
don't speak for him again.
Wait.
You should know my requirements.
What I want is warmth.
Give me more warmth
from your inner feeling.
I'm sure you can do it.
Come on.
OK. Very good.
But we need to adjust.
For the third movement,
I hope you touch
each other's hands.
For the last movement,
I hope you have
an eye contact
and let me see love.
OK.
OK. Go on.
Great.
You don't let me down.
That's what I want.
Thanks.
Perfect shooting
needs a perfect ending.
Where is Xiao?
Isn't she waiting for me here?
She has stayed here for too long.
Then where is she?
Tell me now.
I have something urgent to tell her.
She is outside.
Where is she outside?
Tell me now. Tell me now.
Look yourself.
Li Xiao.
Zimo.
Liang Ni gave to me.
Are you hungry?
My Noodle Restaurant?
OK.
We're back.
Oldest Nephew, quickly.
Cook. Cook.
So pretty flowers.
Are they for me?
No, go to cook.
How was it? How was it?
So smooth.
OK. I'll cook.
Try my dishes.
Well, Dashun,
go and buy a king crab.
OK.
Where can I put the flowers?
Upstairs, there should be a vase by the window.
Go and look.
What do you cook?
I'll put the flowers upstairs first.
OK.
He even carries flowers back.
