THE WOMANIZER
The most interesting thing in life is you don't know when things will happen,
who you'll meet and what will happen.
But I'm sure that she is my enemy.
Hey, what're you waiting for? Hurry!
She is my enemy.
But I can't remember who she is.
Have we met before?
Everyone!
Yes!
It's dangerous to climb this tree, you'll get hurt if you fall.
So you should never climb this tree, okay?
Yes!
Good.
SpongeBob!
- What? - Miss.
I appreciate that you're taking this chance to educate them.
But can you let me down first?
Everyone!
Yes!
If we want others to help us, what should we say?
Please!
Good for you all!
All right, miss, please,
can you help me down? Thank you.
If someone asks you to choose between 158 hours of community service
and six months in jail, what would you choose?
It all began a month ago.
I am a famous writer, who writes about relationships.
I like creating stories, I like being free, that's my attitude.
My books are bestsellers.
TV shows featuring me are very popular, I'm also a popular blogger.
I have many fans on Plurk and Facebook.
Do you wanna know my name? My name is Xia Hejie.
I'll let the whole world remember my name.
Wanna know the secret of my success? It's easy, just eight words.
There is no woman you can't conquer.
That's right, there is no woman you can't conquer,
some would buy my books,
some would get in my car, and some...
Would give me their house key.
In other words, once you conquer women, you win half the world.
Your words "conquer women," isn't it a bit too sexist?
Being sexist is to ask women to listen to you,
but "conquer women" is to listen to them.
Listen and understand them, understand and conquer them.
Of course, sometimes I'd be a manly man,
but that's for adding pleasure to love, not for being angry with women.
Well said! Very good! Can I give you a hug?
Hug?
Read more books,
and I'll consider it.
You've read many books, you go.
- I'm sorry. - I'm joking.
I'm here for hugging you.
Excuse me.
- Can I really do it? - Yes.
I'm so embarrassed!
- Is it okay? - Come on, get off him.
- Thank you. - It's my turn now.
We're so happy today to invite the relationship expert
Xia Hejie for our interview, we hope your books sell really well.
Thanks, please support my new book.
Thanks!
Da Mao.
That felt so great.
Hello, Brother Jie, I'm the producer.
Thanks for coming here, thank you!
Let's see how long you will stay popular.
You shouldn't have invited him.
Why'd you just say something behind his back?
Kang, don't bother about him.
Who the hell is he? Why do I need to suffer?
You're my superstar!
TV interview at 3:00, photo shoot at 4:00.
- What do I wear? - The summer suit from Armani.
- They will prepare the suit. - Why not go to Dongni?
- He's working on other case. - Call him.
Tell him that I'm looking for him, what next?
Dinner at 6:00 with Linda, Vivi and Zhenzhen.
Vivi and Zhenzhen are twins.
Go to see the Hermes show at 8:00.
What's going on there?
That's supermodel Amanda, she's here to promote a film.
Top supermodel, that's my type.
Thanks for watching our show, we have supermodel Amanda here today.
She'll share her stories with us.
First, will you say hi to our audience?
Hello, everyone, I'm Amanda. Hello, Brother He.
Amanda, thanks for coming. I believe that everyone thinks
that a supermodel's love story must be very interesting.
But we noticed that since you started working as model,
there is barely any gossip about you.
Everyone is curious, how did you achieve that?
I've been focusing on my work.
I think I'm like everyone else,
just a naive person.
I never thought about being in a relationship.
But I believe, you must be surrounded
by many men who want to be with you.
Have you ever been in love with anyone?
When you're alone, don't you feel lonely?
I'd like to thank the people who care about me,
but for now,
I can only work hard to pay them back.
Boss, we're gonna be late for the interview.
However, this is the path I choose.
If one day, you want to be in a relationship,
can you describe your ideal man to us?
Someone who loves the real me,
not the supermodel Amanda.
Thanks for coming here, I wish you success for your premiere tonight.
- Hope your new film is a big success. - Thanks.
Sorry, we're in a hurry.
Do you prefer to be a model or an actress?
She's doing well, please look forward to the film.
- What's your plan for the future? - Sorry, we're really in a hurry.
You said that you wanted someone who loves the real you,
not the supermodel Amanda.
My interpretation is, you're just selling the supermodel character now,
so what are you like in real life? Would there be a big difference?
Amanda, do you know each other? How?
- Sorry, actually they-- - Don't make up news.
This is the first time we've met,
but I hope we can work together in the future.
Hello, I'm Xia Hejie.
Sorry, Mr. Xia, we need to attend the premiere, we need to go now, sorry.
Thank you, everyone.
Boss.
Excuse me.
Boss.
Were you being refused just now?
Why is there no one to ask me to go to the premiere?
That's Director Wang's film.
Which Director Wang?
The one who accused you for defamation. You said his film is
of profound significance.
His film is of profound significance, it makes people think.
I've been thinking,
how can he make such a shitty film, full of nonsense?
The story is like
- a bad cake, the makeup is like... - Bullshit!
...a moldy bread, the dialog is like a stinky sewer.
The soundtrack is better,
because there is barely any music, or it'd be even worse.
SEWAGE PROCESSING
Xia Hejie!
He had an accident because he's a bad driver, how is it my fault?
Of course.
Of course it's not our fault, it must be him!
Da Mao, what do you think about Amanda?
Very hot, she's the top model.
Boss, the TV station is the other way.
Cancel that show, I'm going to Amanda's premiere.
Amanda? No way, boss.
There are many hot and classy girls at the party. They're of high quality.
- Are you-- - Are they as hot as Amanda?
You can't compare them like this, but isn't it hard to get Amanda?
Amanda is a woman too, there is no woman I can't conquer.
That's not incorrect--
Slow down, boss!
A NEW WORKS UNDER THE CAMERA 2010
AMANDA I LOVE YOU
UNDER THE CAMERA
It's an Audi, did they rent it?
Who are they? Why are they here?
Xia Hejie!
Can I have a quick interview? You're not on the guest list, right?
Of course, because I'm the surprise guest.
- Excuse me, can I ask a question? - Please answer my question!
Excuse me, sir, can I see your invitation card?
Boss, it's fine, I'll handle it.
Mr. Duan, right? Are you okay?
This is my boss, Mr. Xia Hejie, you must've heard of him.
I know.
But my superior said you must have a invitation card to get in.
- Let me explain-- - Sorry.
That's my job, please understand.
Da Mao, I forgot the invitation card.
- Invitation? - Go and get it.
See you soon.
That guard is an idiot. Boss, we don't have any invitation card.
That's not my problem.
If I can't get in, you don't need to come to work tomorrow.
I can sell it for the original price.
Mom, I want to see the cartoon movie, not this.
This film is good.
My kid wants to see the cartoon, sorry.
Miss...
Miss.
Excuse me, are these invitation cards for the premiere?
Yes, if you want, I can sell it to you.
Really? Yes! You're such a good person!
- God bless you, how much? - Thanks.
The same price that's on ticket, 300 will do.
Fine, so two tickets are 600.
Sorry, I can only sell one ticket, I want to go too.
All right, how about I give you 1,000 more,
and you go get another one?
No thanks, the premiere is about to start. Why do you need two for yourself?
It's also for my boss, my boss is
the most popular writer, the best guest on TV shows,
the one who can conquer all women, the handsome Xia Hejie!
- Xia Hejie? - Yes, Xia Hejie.
- Xia Hejie? - Yes, he's there.
Xia Hejie, take this away from me!
Hello, I'm Xia Hejie.
I know who you are.
Miss, miss.
Our company has rules, he can't sign for you--
- So you're buying for him? - Yes.
You're so lucky to get so close to Xia Hejie.
So, one ticket for 300, two for 600.
I want 10,000.
What? Ten thousand?
Sorry, miss, you can't do this, just now you said--
Miss, I have the money,
but it doesn't mean you can take advantage of me.
Two tickets for 10,000 is a bit too much.
Who said two tickets? I mean one. Whether you want it or not, I don't care.
Amanda!
Do you want it or not? I'm leaving!
Wait!
Give it to her.
Give it.
Take it, here's 20,000, do you want to count it?
Invitation card.
Sorry, my hand is slippery.
Sorry.
Thanks.
Yeah!
Dear friends, let's welcome Director Wang and Amanda!
Eternity, Amanda!
Thank you, thank you. Please sit.
Director Wang,
your film received excellent reviews from all over the world.
Are you going to compete for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars next year?
Being praised by the audience is much more important than getting an award.
For a long time, our audience only spent money on Hollywood films.
But they ignored our domestic films.
I believe this film will
launch a milestone for domestic films.
Amanda, this is your first film,
and you played the main character already, can you share your thoughts with us?
I feel very lucky and happy to work with Director Wang,
and also the excellent crew.
I'm still new to the film industry,
and I have many things to learn.
All I have to say is thank you. Thank you, Director.
About Amanda, I can help--
If ten points is the highest score,
how much would you score yourself?
Why is Xia Hejie here? Don't they hate each other?
He must be here to ruin the show, it'll be the headline tomorrow.
Shoot.
Director.
I've tried my best to do my job, but in terms of score,
just like the director said, the audience should be the judge.
I think there are so many actresses that fit this role,
but they choose you, who has no experience in acting at all,
is it because your reputation is bigger than your capability?
Ignore him, guards, please help.
Take irrelevant people out of here!
I'll leave after I finish speaking.
You want me to leave, is it because you're scared of my negative comments?
I can accept anyone's comments about my film,
but I refuse to tolerate slander.
Especially from someone like you,
a so-called star who knows nothing about movies.
Roland Barthes published an essay, The Death of the Author, in 1976.
Do you know?
Which means, as soon as your work is published,
the right of criticizing the work is transfered to the audience.
So, it's not important what you think, what matters is how I think.
Compared to other films that were produced just for awards,
your film is even shallower. Too shallow to understand.
But it's right to cast the top model.
As there's a pretty woman, the audience won't fall asleep so quickly, right?
Xia Hejie!
Director, your ability to aim is as bad as your film.
Director!
Director, mind your behavior!
Don't act like that!
Director Wang!
- My Champagne fountain is ruined! - Director Wang!
Xia Hejie, I won't let you go!
Director, stop your weird behavior!
- It's not my fault! - The floor is drinking my wine!
The floor is drinking my wine! Xia Hejie!
Boss!
It's not my fault! Does your director always behave like this?
- Xia Hejie! - Director, what do you want?
Why do you do this to me?
Excuse me!
Boss!
My film premiere is ruined!
Amanda!
Sorry, please stop shooting! Stop!
Sorry, please stop shooting!
You...
FAMOUS CRITIC MAKES TROUBLE, FAMOUS MODEL SUFFERS.
That's a good photo of me, I look handsome.
Yes, so handsome, so handsome that Director Wang is hospitalized.
And he said he'd sue you.
Please do, let him do it.
Or there won't be any news. Rumors are helping me getting popular.
But, boss, in the last six months,
four people sue you for slander, six sue you for ruining their reputation.
We received more court summons than speeding tickets.
So? Am I guilty of telling the truth?
Isn't being honest a virtue?
People can't accept the cruel truth, what a shame!
Boss!
Look, you ruined their premiere, and Director Wang's reputation.
That must've lost millions.
More importantly, Amanda's supermodel image has been ruined by you too.
That was an accident!
You saw it, I didn't touch anything.
As for Amanda...
Boss, how can you laugh? Amanda must hate you now.
That's fine.
There are many man who admire her beauty.
But I'm the only one who embarrassed her.
She won't forget me for the rest of her life.
I can get the supermodel's affections very fast.
Even I would admire myself.
- Aren't you being too optimistic? - It's not optimism, it's confidence.
Confident men are like pheromones, very attractive to women.
I should wear this.
I'll look nice in this one for court.
Isn't it a bit too high key?
Boss, are you going to the court yourself?
You can just ask a lawyer to do it for you.
- Are you silly? - Boss.
There'll be lots of media for this.
It is a great chance to get publicity.
If I make a good use of it, I'm sure I'll be on the news for a month, or even more.
Dry wash it, I'll take a nap.
Boss, we're going to a TV show soon!
Cancel it, and don't accept any shows till the court hearing.
Don't say anything to the public. Hide my schedule.
I'll make the public as curious as possible,
and make myself super famous!
Boss, all the media are here.
I see.
Hey!
Excuse me, sir, I've been waiting for that parking space!
Old woman, you took way too long.
Sorry, I'm in a hurry.
In a hurry? Wait a minute! I'm in a hurry too!
I saw that parking space first, it's mine. How can you steal it?
So according to your logic, if I see any girl on the street, do they belong to me?
Of course not!
You need to get it to make it yours, same as a parking space.
What kind of lame argument is that? That's ridiculous!
Even if I give it to you, can you park there?
You're getting old, you should take the bus, don't obstruct the traffic.
You're such a rude person!
It's you who's being rude, not me.
I remember your license number, anything happens to my car, it's your fault.
Hobbit.
Oh, no!
You're so dramatic!
Is it so serious?
Are you being like this to get the judge's sympathy?
Director, that's so naive.
Excuse me, please don't harass my client.
Sorry, I was just saying hi.
Xia Hejie, don't be too happy, I'll sue you till death!
You're out of the hospital and now in a court, you're so unlucky.
But director, don't be angry, think positive.
Without my help,
how would your film become so popular? As for how shitty the film is,
after the premiere, I think the public feel the same as I do.
To tell the truth,
it's true that the movie is shitty,
but the tickets may be sold out.
When you celebrate, don't forget to send me invitation card.
You...
We'll pay for the drinks at your celebration.
Don't be angry.
What time does the court start?
4:00 P.M. IN THE AFTERNOON
4:00 p.m.
4:00 p.m. It's 4:30 p.m. now, where is the judge?
What the hell?
The court opens now, all rise, please.
Defendant Xia Hejie, please go to the table,
CHIEF JUDGE
Defendant Xia Hejie,
Mr. Wang Mingan is suing you for vandalism, slandering,
and endangering the public.
Do you want to respond to the accusation?
Your Honor, the evidence can talk, I have the camera footage for that night.
I can prove that was an accident.
Everyone is entitled to have their opinion about films, though I criticized his film,
I never attacked him personally, or ruined the property.
The video can show that I'm telling the truth.
Don't pass the buck, it was definitely your fault!
Your Honor,
my client didn't invite the defendant for the premiere, he came without permission,
and attacked my client with words, which led to a series of consequences.
So the defendant should be responsible for it.
Your Honor, I did have an invitation card.
I was invited, not without permission.
That's bullshit! I didn't invite you at all!
But I have the invitation.
If there's something wrong with your system, it shouldn't be my fault.
Your Honor, he wasn't invited.
He got the invitation cards from other people.
We have a witness who can prove he's lying.
Bring the witness in.
Hello, your Honor.
Miss Ma Xiaoqian,
the court needs you to confirm that you'll be telling nothing but the truth.
Lying in court is a crime, which could lead up to seven years or less in jail.
- I swear I'll be honest. - No need to swear, just sign.
Miss Ma, can you explain what happened?
Your Honor, here's what happened.
The other day, my friend gave me two invitation cards for the film premiere.
My friend changed her mind and went for a date instead.
So I thought I'd go with my colleague,
but my colleague said
she wanted to sing Karaoke instead of watching the film.
- so I was-- - Miss Ma!
You don't need to tell us the irrelevant details.
Sorry, so I have an extra invitation card for the premiere.
I didn't want to waste it, so I was hoping someone could buy it from me.
I didn't raise the price, I was asking for the same price.
You're lying, you sold for 10,000!
When you asked, I said 300.
And then I changed my mind because I saw that person.
Xia Hejie, the conversation seems to show that you were not invited.
Any explanation?
Your Honor, I didn't hear their conversation clearly.
But according to the procedure, shouldn't we ask her to prove that's her card first?
Otherwise it's just her version of the events.
Miss Ma, can you prove that the invitation card belongs to you?
If not, I reserve my right to sue you, so please be careful.
Your Honor, since the witness can't provide any evidence, can we ask her--
Your Honor, I have the evidence!
Because it was the first time I ever got a premiere invitation,
it was special for me, so I took a photo.
Xia Hejie, can you explain these two invitation cards, which belong to Miss Ma,
appearing in your hand?
Your Honor, this man is ridiculous, that day he took a pile of cash
and threw it at me, and I had to pick the cash up from the floor.
He also told the guards that I'm a ticket scalper, so they kicked me out.
Miss Ma, thanks, you can leave now.
Thanks, your Honor.
Defendant, please go back to the table.
The evidence is here, anything else you want to say?
You Honor, no matter how I got the invitation card,
those who allowed me to get in are his staff.
I didn't enter forcefully.
After I got in, I didn't mean to do anything bad, I was just
telling them my opinion. He couldn't accept it, and became angry first,
which led to the accident.
I understand.
You mean, if I'm late, that's because I can't find a parking space,
it has nothing to do with you stealing my parking space.
Although these two things are not directly connected, but they're connected in a way.
Your Honor, I apologize for what I did just now, seriously.
I hope you won't be biased in your judgment because of the parking incident.
Of course not, even if you called me a Hobbit, I wouldn't do that.
The result will be announced on another day, whether you're here or not,
the court will send you the letter, that's it.
All rise.
Mr. Xia, I've sent someone to guard your car, don't worry about it.
I didn't expect they'd find that bitch to come.
That totally ruined my plan.
Boss, there are journalists waiting, should we go from the back door?
Don't be silly, if anyone catches us, how will I face the media?
But they'll ask you about the invitation card, how will you answer?
I've thought about it, boss, you always treat me nicely, so later,
I'll go and handle the media, and you leave from the back door.
I've arranged the car for you, here's your passport, check and a flight ticket to LA.
I've arranged for someone to pick you up, you go abroad for a while,
and come back later.
You're not as stupid as I thought, fine, we'll do it.
So, let's go-- Hey, boss, go to the back door!
He didn't have the ticket, I gave him these tickets.
He even threw the cash on the floor, and asked me to pick it up! Ridiculous!
Xia Hejie!
Jie, just now the witness said your invitation card was bought, really?
It's true.
Director Wang didn't invite you, so you went there to ruin it?
I did it on purpose, but not to ruin it.
I'm not interested in Director Wang's film,
I had another purpose.
What purpose? Please tell us!
What purpose? Jie, please tell us.
I went there for Amanda.
Amanda.
