THE WOMANIZER
Is it true that you bought your invitation card?
Yes, it is.
Since Director Wang didn't invite you, did you come there to cause a row?
I went there for a purpose, but it wasn't to create a stir.
I'm not interested in Director Wang's film.
I went there for other reasons.
For what reasons? Can you talk about it?
For what reason? Please talk about it.
It was for Amanda.
Amanda!
I have to confess, I'm attracted to her talent, I like her.
So I did all these immature things like a boy in love for the first time.
I want to apologize to Amanda here.
Please forgive me for acting crazy and losing my mind for you.
So, it doesn't matter what the sentence is,
I wouldn't even mind going to jail.
I'll take this opportunity to express my sincerity.
Amanda, if all of this is a bad start,
I hope we can have a happy ending.
Boss, it's only been a week, and your popularity has doubled.
Unfortunately, Amanda hasn't responded. That would've made things perfect.
How can we make Amanda respond?
I need to think about it carefully.
- Boss! - You scared the heck out of me!
Sorry, it's the court's sentence.
I don't want to see it, just read it.
- By Rule 695 of 2009-- - Skip all that.
- Read the sentence directly. - Let me see.
Forget about it.
I will be sentenced for six months at the most.
The penalty should be 3,000 NTD,
for six months it should be 40,000 NTD at most.
Have you found anything yet after reading for so long?
Boss, you've been sentenced for four months.
That's not bad, I can save 180,000 NTD. Remember to pay tomorrow.
But it says...
Xia Hejie had a bad attitude and lied to the court, he didn't want to change.
If he doesn't obey the sentence, the order will be destroyed.
He will be sentenced to 158 hours of community service,
it cannot be paid off by penalty.
Is it true? Are you joking?
Boss, can I make up those words by myself?
It also says, you can re-appeal if you refuse to comply.
Are you nuts? I already said I wouldn't re-appeal.
Then what can we do?
If we play, we'll play big.
Go immediately and figure out where I can go for community service.
Arrange time for media interviews.
Boss, you rock!
Why a kindergarten!
I can't stand kids!
Why should I go to a kindergarten for community service?
Because the kindergarten admitted the application.
Can't it be anything else?
I can go take care of the elderly. I can sweep the streets.
Why should I babysit the little beasts?
Boss, this isn't like ordering takeout. You can't just change your oder.
This is community service, you have to put up with it.
Boss! Don't drive so fast!
I drive so well, what are you afraid of?
Right, because you drive so well, you stole the judge's parking space.
Believe me, I can kick you out of the car right now.
Careful!
- Are you okay? - What do you think?
Right, I'll call you back later.
Boss!
Everybody's mom is very lovely.
Nana, the teacher said to draw your mom, what are you drawing?
A UFO.
Is your mother an alien?
Draw another one.
Xiao Touluo, why aren't you drawing?
I'm drawing.
Where? It's a blank page. What have you drawn?
I drew my mom going shopping.
- Then where's your mom? - Mom's back at home.
Very good, Xiao Touluo, you don't get dessert today.
Doesn't matter, I've brought my own.
You--
Yes!
Excuse me?
I know you!
Let me explain--
You're Xia Hejie, right?
I'm Mary. So good to see you, you're so handsome in person.
Hello, I wanted to ask, is the principal of the kindergarten here?
Yes!
- Could you take me to see him? - Yes!
Yes!
The principal.
Sorry to bother you.
Kids, be good and continue drawing.
If anyone gets out of his seat, he'll be in trouble, understood?
- Understood! - Good!
Please come with me.
You can just lead the way.
Here, this way. Be careful of the steps.
Here! Who's shouting?
Be quiet!
Mr. Xia, we've been notified by the court
that you'll be assigned here for community service.
It's scary! I didn't think a famous writer like you would be here.
We're happy to have you here, have some tea.
Although our principal looks like a hooligan, he's a good man.
By the way, can I call you Hejie?
Teacher Mary! Don't mess around here. Go back to your class.
I'm thirsty, I'll have a cup of tea first.
Okay, have one cup. And then go back to class immediately.
Principal! Whose car is that?
Where are your manners?
Have you messed around again?
How can you present yourself like this?
Report first!
Why are you here?
Do you know each other?
It's not your car outside, is it?
Do you have a problem?
You almost hit me with your car.
You were the one who was hit just now.
You almost hit somebody. Don't you even care?
Almost hit is not the same as getting hit. I have quick reflexes.
Quick reflexes. You were driving too fast!
That's all right!
There's no problem if the person is all right, don't talk that much.
Mr. Xia has come here for community service.
You will see each other very often.
Don't talk like that! Let me introduce you to each other.
Xiaoqian is one of our teachers, she's excellent.
Teacher Xiaoqian, what Mr. Xia will be doing in the future
will be assigned by you, okay?
Principal! Why not me?
I haven't lost my mind yet.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say you have personal motives.
You'll invite Mr. Xia to go to the cinema and go shopping with you.
Go back to class.
I haven't finished my tea yet.
You should lose weight, every time I have to strain myself to push you.
I'm going back to class, Hejie.
Bye.
Don't drink this, the tea was dipped for too long.
I'll make another cup of tea for you.
Don't bother, principal,
I want to discuss one thing with you.
Discuss?
Okay, go ahead.
Principal, apart from making programs,
I also write columns, commentaries,
I've published six books this year, I'm busy.
How does that concern us, that you're busy?
Mr. Xia, go on please.
Based on my respect for law,
I should finish these 158 hours of community service.
But I have never done community service.
I don't know how to do it, nor do I want to do it.
Besides, I'm sensitive to kids, when they get noisy,
I don't feel comfortable. So, in order not to waste our time,
I can't help here.
If you need to cut the grass, paint the walls,
that is no problem, I can pay the fees.
- Your money-- - Teacher Xiaoqian!
Principal!
Please don't interrupt when I talk to the principal.
- Principal. - A piece of cake.
I don't do anything, but I'll come here to report.
If you agree...
This is the secret contract, to ensure none of us will reveal these things.
After the 158 hours are completed,
I'll donate a brand new bus to the kindergarten.
As a thank-you gift.
Will the car be imported or domestically made?
One will be imported. As for domestically made...
Xia Hejie!
Don't forget the court has ordered you to complete the 158 hours.
Otherwise I'll tell the executive officer that you...
Want to evade responsibilities,
and you go to jail! Principal!
Are you going to accept the bribe?
What kind of a role model will you be?
You misunderstand.
I took out my hand to shake hands with him, see? Not to take bribes.
Miss Liu...
My surname's Ma.
So funny!
Miss Ma, I think we have a misunderstanding,
I'll buy you another bike.
That should wipe the slate clean between us, right?
Not okay.
Whether it's the one outside or the one you buy me, it's not okay.
Principal!
What now?
There are a lot of journalists outside.
They are looking for me, I'll handle it.
Good.
I haven't finished yet!
Let's begin from the left, slowly to the middle, the right...
Let's change the pose, okay, very handsome.
He's so handsome.
Handsome, and the money!
I'll be happy if I have half of what he has.
Have you two forgotten? He is a prisoner under service.
Don't be so silly.
I know you two are good friends, but don't misunderstand him.
Mary!
Come on! Don't be fooled by his appearance.
He's attractive because he is handsome, otherwise why don't you just keep a dog?
Unlike the principal, he has the appearance of a bad boy,
but he's actually a good man.
Teacher Mary!
I'm right beside you, please show me some respect.
Just because you're right beside me, doesn't mean I talk behind people's backs.
Principal, could we borrow some kids to take a photo?
- I'll bring some to you. - Let me go fetch them!
What are you doing?
My boss says if there are some kids in the photo, it would be less boring.
Boring? Come on!
Who does he think he is? Mary, hold this.
Ma Xiaoqian!
This is crazy!
Sorry, this prisoner still has work to do.
Who are you?
- Bye. - Who is she?
I'll make a statement this afternoon, okay?
It's not washing the toilet, right?
After you wash the floor, don't forget to dry it, otherwise the kids will slip.
When everything is done, report to me, I'll check it.
- Miss Zhu. - My surname's Ma.
Miss Ma, please don't be angry with me.
I'm really apologizing to you I'm sorry, okay?
Let's forget the past and start over.
Forget about it, let's go the lady's room.
Do you have a price? How much do you want?
A price?
Why don't you set a price with the executive officer?
Just do what you're supposed to and stop creating trouble.
Teacher!
What's wrong?
I threw my Teddy bear onto the tree!
- Really? - Really.
I'll go with you to have a look, okay.
Let's go.
You come with me.
Let's go, where is it? Take me there.
Where?
The media's gone.
But they were complaining that the interview was too short--
Then don't come.
I don't' want to be blamed after the interview's taken.
Are you nuts?
What are they doing?
Where is Xiao Touluo?
We don't know.
I'll go and find him.
You come here!
You go up and bring the bear down.
You first make me wash the toilet,
and now climb the tree, do you want to torture me?
Don't forget what you're doing here, go up.
How much is the bear worth?
I'll buy a dozen and give them to the kid, okay.
Money, you really think that money can solve everything.
There are many things whose value cannot be determined with money.
Without his bear, Xiao Touluo will cry all day long, do you know?
What does it have to do with me?
No need, it's him who is serving, not you.
You go up.
Teacher, in fact--
It's okay, I'll do it.
Wait for me outside.
Go.
It's really frustrating having a boss like you.
The poor guy who will have you as his girlfriend...
But I suppose you haven't had a boyfriend yet.
That's none of your business.
- Is there a bamboo pole? - No.
- A ladder? - No.
There is a chair, right?
Yes, you go find it yourself, otherwise just climb the tree, behave like a man.
All right, I'll make a note of how you treat me today.
I'll buy you a notebook and many pens, take your time to make notes.
SpongeBob!
What, Bo?
SpongeBob!
Be quiet!
What are you doing? Don't take photos.
Delete it!
No way, this is for the record, it proves you are doing your work.
You haven't washed the toilet yet, hurry up!
Kids! Let's go for dessert!
Let's go!
- Yes, boss. - Da Mao.
- Go and buy a pair of trousers for me. - A pair of trousers?
What happened?
Don't ask too many questions, just go and buy it.
Boss, can I ask you a question?
Go ahead.
Why do you wear SpongeBob underwear? It's not your style at all.
- It's a gift. - What gift?
What makes you happiest about a gift may not be the gift per se,
it's the excitement when you open the gift.
So when they open you and see SpongeBob, that excitement--
- You're nuts. - Thank you.
They think you're cute.
Underneath your uninhibited appearance there is a true heart.
A perfect combination of good boy and bad boy, too attractive.
Boss!
But you're here for community service, not for a date.
Don't you want a girlfriend?
I haven't been that lucky as yet.
No, it's because you don't have a history, getting a girl is like hunting.
A good hunter with his gun loaded can see his prey anytime.
If you load your gun after you see your prey, it will run away.
Boss!
So this time you fired accidentally, and the woman who shouldn't have seen,
saw your secret weapon.
You have said that there is no woman that you can't handle.
Ma Xiaoqian may be such a woman.
In my definition, she is not a woman.
She is a female animal at most, having reproductive abilities.
But without the traits of a woman.
Then what are the traits of a woman?
Take notes.
There may be many kinds, but there is no perfect woman.
Pretty ones don't cook,
those who cook aren't gentle, and gentle ones don't have opinions.
Feminine ones like spending money,
those who don't spend money don't dress well.
Men are the same,
talented ones aren't handsome, handsome ones can't make money.
Successful ones aren't romantic, romantic ones aren't reliable.
So, women with more than two traits are good women.
One with more than three is a masterpiece.
The female animal knows Amanda.
The invitation card must've been from Amanda.
No wonder she tortures you, boss, she's avenging Amanda.
Do you know what it is called when a woman possesses more than four traits?
Don't mess around with me, boss. How can I know?
It's called a fight.
I didn't want to sell the tickets to that guy.
I'm so sorry.
It's all right, he went here to create a stir.
Even if you hadn't give them to him,
I'm sure he would've got the invitation card elsewhere.
Besides the judge has sentenced him to community service.
He got what he deserves, don't over-think it.
Right, but do you know?
It turns out to our kindergarten is where he does his service.
- Coincidence? - Yes, enemies cross each other's paths.
- It has been signed already. - Thanks.
Thank you!
Me and my mom don't eat these doughnuts. Do you like them?
Not bad, otherwise why would I want to come?
Long time no see.
Why did you come out again?
Congratulations.
Xiaoqian, I'm leaving, thank you.
I gave up re-appealing to express my sincerest apologies.
You can refuse it,
but you needn't torture me.
I torture you?
It's me who's torturing you, not her.
I know, you want to make use of this to create publicity, right?
I'll torture you to death if you dare to do so.
Mr. Xia, this thing is over.
I believe you are not the type of person who'll use others for publicity
to increase your fame.
I'm famous enough.
I only used the media to express my feelings for you.
But if you give me your phone number, I won't need the media anymore.
Do you really think? You're a womanizer?
I'm not the womanizer that she says,
I ask your number so we can get to know each other better.
I believe you will change your opinions.
I'm not interested in you, nor do I want to know you.
But I want to know you, what kind of a woman you are.
It's because of you I'm here for the 158 hours of community service.
I now declare that I'll make you fall in love with me before I finish the hours.
Now I have 156 hours left.
Why don't you make it one hour?
Hundred and fifty-six hours is terrible for you.
It only takes a second to fall in love with someone.
The rest of the time is for approaching her heart.
Mr. Xia, don't waste your time and energy, I definitely won't like you.
In the world of love, nothing is impossible.
Let's make a bet.
If I can make you fall in love with me in these 158 hours, then I...
Then what? Say it, if you can't, you are a puppy.
All right, if I lose, I'll take the collar.
Let her walk me on the street like a dog.
Anybody can just talk, I need to record this.
Start.
If I, Xia Hejie, cannot make Amanda say she loves me in her own words
before the community service finishes,
I'll take the collar and let Miss Ma Xiaoqian walk me like a dog.
Xia Hejie, I usually wouldn't play such boring games with you,
but I think you haven't learned your lessons yet, so I'll take the bet.
I want you to take responsibility for your arrogance.
But let me tell you, you'll lose.
Okay, deal.
Xiaoqian, could you bring me my towels?
I cleaned up yesterday.
Here's the towel.
Hurry up! So cold!
You should clean up your room when you have the time.
I lose my way entering your room.
Okay, I know, what time is it now?
7:10.
I'll be late!
Mary Wang!
The floor is wet!
Why did you turn off the lights, Ma Xiaoqian? I'll fall!
Some people say, kids are angels sent by God.
Mary Wang, how many times have I told you? Look at the toothpaste!
It won't take long for them to reconcile.
But why do couples fight so much
and end up divorcing each other?
Darling, when we complain that our spouse is not gentle enough,
we should also reflect whether we are considerate?
Treat your partner like your kid, take care of her,
whether you are at work or in another city, Xia Hejie.
Boss, I really admire you.
You can talk about little kids as well as about relationships.
Wait a moment, there's a photo to sign.
Sign it yourself.
I've mentioned it to you,
this is the photo for the daughter of the Minister of Education.
- If they find out-- - Then that means you don't forge well.
Then you don't have to come tomorrow.
Boss...
Check Amanda's information for me.
Her hobbies, blood type, horoscope, birth place...
I want to know everything about her.
But boss, you'll really pursue Amanda?
Of course.
PS, book eight, yellow tulips.
Send them to Ma Xiaoqian.
Ma-- Are you pursuing Ma Xiaoqian as well?
Of course not, this is for Amanda.
To get a girl, you must impress her friend.
If the female animal was not Amanda's friend,
I wouldn't give a damn about her?
I met some new friends at the kindergarten.
One of them is Teacher Mary.
Her face is reddish
- like an apple... - He's talking about me! He likes me!
At the kindergarten...
There is a...
Ma Xiaoqian!
Why do you keep doing this?
I know!
He talked about me, not you, you're jealous.
Don't be fooled by his appearance, you don't know this person!
Who says I don't know him?
He was born on 11th August, 1979, Leo, PhD in literature
from the University of Cambridge.
He has high diploma, so what? That means he can study, not that he is a good man.
Do you know him well? How do you know if he is a good man or not?
Jealous of me!
Miss...
Let me tell you.
I grew up with Xia Hejie, he was my neighbor.
