My Sunshine (何以笙箫默)

Silent separation

My Sunshine by Zhang Jie

Drama' short version. Episode 01

Attention, those who are meeting your friends.

Flight UA198 from the States to Shanghai has just landed.

Do you want to go greet her?

Let's go.

Why are you taking a picture of me?

I'm trying to take a picture of the landscape.

Why did you appear suddenly?

Why are you going?

Didn't you want to take a picture of the landscape? I'm returning it to you.

Okay.

Wait, wait, wait.

Okay, I admit, I was secretly taking pictures of you.

Why are you blocking me?

You didn't tell me your name and major yet.

Why do I have to tell you?

If you don't tell me, how am I going to return the picture to you?

There's no need.

Then, I'll just wait till I print out the picture and ask around for you.

Stop there!

What? Are you afraid I'm not going to find you?

Even though there are thousands of people in this school, through persistence, I'll ask one by one and I'll find you.

He Yi Chen, Law major, Second year.

Hey, wait for me! I'll definitely give you the photo!

You don't have to send me back home. I can just get back on my own.

There's no need.

I'll take you home right now and I'll call a car later.

I'm so afraid you'll run over to her.

But why did you just leave?

I'm not sad.

Fellow student, how long are you going to follow me for?

Until you notice me.

Fellow student, did you forget me?

I thought law students have really good memory.

People's memory capacity is limited. I won't waste it on useless things.

Okay, I trust that you're a law student.

Such a sharp tongue.

Well, I'm here to keep my promise.

To give you the photo.

Isn't it a good photo?

Look, this is my first time giving a good hold of the light.

And there's a ray of light here that just went right through.

This photo, I'll keep it. Thank you.

Hey, what are you talking about, 'This photo, I'll keep it, thanks?'

Aren't you going to return it to me? -Return it to you?

Of course! I took the picture, shouldn't it be mine?

Fellow student,

Are you sure you want to argue the rights to this photo with a law student?

What do you mean?

This photo, I -Thanks.

It became yours just like that?

Hey, you can treat me to a meal.

Why don't you treat me to a meal tonight?

I spent some money taking the photo too.

Shao Mei?

It's me.

You know each other?

We went to college together.

Yes, we were also roomates.

This is good. What do you think?

I think this is pretty good.

Let's get a cup of coffee.

I don't know what to say.

There are too many things to say, but I don't know where to begin.

Thank you.

I need to think of a way for them to meet.

The few days after your disappearance,

he looked for you so hard he almost went crazy.

Later, he even waited for you in front of the dorm everyday.

But what did he wait for?

There came a few people who took away all your stuff.

And they told him, told us that you went to the U.S.

And may never come back.

Zhao Mo Sheng, you're so cruel.

Even now, I can remember the image of the past,

His whole body looked like it was dug up to emptiness.

From top to bottom, it was all sorrow.

Such a prideful person as him, he could even show such an expression.

Maybe, he feels guilty.

The one who abandoned him to go to the U.S. is you.

You should be the one who's guilty

Shao Mei, you don't understand.

I have eyes, I can see.

Does everyone believe that it was me who abandoned him?

It clearly wasn't.

Clearly it was he who said he didn't want to see me anymore.

Said that he would rather have never met me.

I don't feel well today so I can't take anymore photos this afternoon. Clean up.

Hey, who annoyed you? You were fine this morning.

I already said, I'm not feeling well.

Xiao Xiao, are you really a professional model?

Not wanting to take photos two days ago is fine, but what's up again today?

The fee of renting the studio, and including the fees of staff and photo equipment,

and your work, we paid for it all already. You want to stop taking photos?

Okay, then compensate according to the contract.

Telling you that i'm not feeling well is to not embarrass you.

What? Do you want to be embarrassed?

The photos taken this morning, did you guys see them already?

Yes, I don't want to embarrass my classmate.

But I'm not satisfied with the things my old classmate took.

If I'm not wrong,

Didn't you major in chemistry? -Yes.

That's right.

Kevin, why did you find such an unprofessional photographer to take pictures of me?

I studied in the U.S.

The U.S.?

Your work experiences in the U.S. A lot of it, you can lie about.

Hey, not everyone has the right to take photos of me.

What's wrong with you?

No matter how bad your temper is, there should be a limit.

Xiao Xiao, your trying to create trouble on purpose aren't you?

Fine, let's carefully look at this.

This contract clearly says the mandated time schedule.

If I said I won't take pictures anymore, I definitely won't.

Also, if you dare to touch me again.

I will sue you for harassment.

Harass you? Dream on!

Just you wait, we will take legal measures.

I want to sue them.

You were the one who ripped the contract. You should be afraid that they will sue you.

Afraid? With you here, how can I be afraid of losing?

Thank you for believing in me.

If I remember correctly, this is already the fifth time someone wants to sue you.

What is the reason this time?

Without photographers I'm familiar with, I can't find the right feelings.

Photographer?

Ya, she's new.

Oh, A photographer who came from the U.S.

But for the sake of your benefits and image, I would advise that you drop this case.

Why? I definitely want to sue them.

This kind of winner lawsuit, why won't I proceed with it?

Hey, they were the ones who threatened me and wanted to sue me.

Okay, since you are persistent about this lawsuit,

I can help you get other lawyers.

We want you to be responsible for it.

That way, we have more chance of winning.

This is a very easy case.

If the photographer fails to show her credibility, they will definitely lose.

We still wish to... -I will get a really good lawyer. -But...

But this is the company...

Okay, whatever you want.

Xiao Xiao just left a note with the photographer's contact information at the magazine.

Saying that she forgot to give it to you back then.

Oh, Xiao Xiao's case this time, ask Lawyer Liu to be responsible.

Okay, I will contact Lawyer Liu.

There's no need. This case, I'll personally take care of it.

Contact this photographer, tell her,

I wish that she could personally show me her photography credibility.

Or else, they will face really harsh compensations.

According to the gathered information about you, you graduated from the U.S.

That's correct.

What year did you go to the U.S.? -2004.

The estimated date?

2004, September.

The date.

The 29th.

What city in the U.S. did you go?

New York, I studied in New York.

What University?

It's written in the documents.

Sorry, please repeat it again.

School of Visual Arts.

My English is not that great, please tell me the Chinese name.

New York School of Visual Arts.

I'm not very familiar with them.

Please let me search it up.

It's a pretty good school.

It's globally ranked top 10 for photography.

It's definitely worth abandoning everything to go over there.

So after you graduated,

you continued to stay in New York to pursue your photography career?

No.

After graduating, I went to L.A.

Does this also have to do with the contract?

To me, it does.

Because...

Because of some personal reasons.

There was a pretty good job oppurtunity in L.A.

In L.A., did you keep up with photography related careers?

Yes.

I have seen Miss Zhao's work.

You have taken many pictures with Hollywood and international stars.

With such a great job opportunity,

Why did you come back?

Why did you choose to abandon an already established career,

and restart it again in China?

No reason.

Next question.

When did you come back to China, the date?

This year, June 3rd.

That's magical.
