Let me tell you a gossip.
Your brother recently
has become quite popular in the station.
He's constantly buttering up others,
saying he wants to host some
psychological-themed program.
He's always bugging Mr. Wu.
But what's more,
he's even getting the sponsors
to speak on his behalf.
In the morning, he bugs Mr. Wu,
and in the evening, he bugs the sponsors.
Every day, he either accompanies them for meals or drinks
or keeps their company for entertainment.
His schedule is packed.
Anyway,
he's using all available resources.
He sounds very dedicated to this show.
I asked him for it though.
No.
You're helping him
by going on this show.
Your brother has been practically idle
in the station before.
His shows consistently
receive the lowest ratings.
Last week, we almost had a meeting
to take his program off the air.
You're giving him a chance now.
If the show becomes popular,
both of you will turn things around.
However,
from my professional perspective,
your career is relatively new.
It's certainly fresh,
but something too new
might not be easily accepted by the audience.
Besides,
there's a lack of a clear and specific reference standard.
I was wondering
how to make this show successful
and increase the viewership.
I'm not quite sure how that works.
But in terms of psychology,
I do have some valuable cases
that hold societal value.
The audience could resonate with the cases
and better understand psychology.
But the truth is,
I asked Jingyun to do this show for me
because I want to restore my reputation.
Well, it's a TV show.
The pros of being on it outweigh the cons.
I'm not worried about your professionalism.
But I'm worried about Jingyun.
I'm afraid that if he handles it,
he'll mess it up again.
Don't always look down on his ability.
I worry about this for a reason.
Don't you know what he was like before?
He said tomorrow
he'll take me to meet his manager.
This might actually work out.
Do you know what kind of person his manager is?
Tell me about it.
Well.
They started working at the TV station
at the same time.
They were co-workers and had a good relationship then.
But...
I won't comment much about Jingyun.
He's single-minded, you know.
Mr. Wu, on the other hand,
knows how to talk and behave.
He knows what to do and when to do it.
Anyway,
I think Mr. Wu is nice.
But as for Jingyun,
he has a bit of disapproval
toward Mr. Wu's way of doing things.
You're talking about Mr. Wu.
Why do you keep bringing up Jingyun?
Anyway,
I'm telling you.
Their relationship is just complicated.
Complicated?
Yes.
Complicated.
Complicated...
Where are my shoes?
Over there.
I didn't bring them over.
Why am I still feeling so full?
Did I do the workout wrong?
It's not helping.
Their relationship is complicated.
Sir.
What are you looking for?
Nothing, nothing.
Do you remember the girl
who came with me together
to buy things before?
I remember her.
Did she come today?
Today?
It seems not.
Would you like to buy a drink?
No, I'm good. Thanks.
Bro.
Get yourself together.
We just received
your script evaluation report.
Later,
you come to the studio.
(We'll go through it together, line by line.)
Okay.
See you later.
Liu Xia.
Liu Xia.
She's out all night.
I think
your opening this time...
Are you alright?
You caught a cold or stayed up late?
I didn't stay up late.
I might have dozed off on the table
and caught a bit of a chill.
Shanshan.
You have to take care of
yourself, okay?
We can only fight tough battles
when you're healthy.
Besides, we don't have the privilege to get sick.
I understand.
I won't delay the progress.
That's good.
Do you think he has
a tendency to be masochistic?
When I provided you
with a relaxed environment for writing,
you caused me so many issues,
procrastinating on the script.
Now I criticize you slightly,
giving you a little push,
you become quite proactive.
No, bro.
You know very well
that sometimes inspiration
comes when it wants to.
And when it's not there,
I can create nothing.
Tell me.
How do you think I did this time?
The beginning is not bad.
There are youth,
campus, and vitality.
It all fits
the client's requirements, right?
But I just don't understand
why the plot
takes a sudden downturn in the middle.
Shouldn't all stories
have plot twists?
It should have ups and downs to capture people's attention, right?
You can have plot twists on other characters.
Why are you constantly focusing on the female lead instead?
Romance.
A love triangle.
You love me. I love her, and she loves him.
It has to be messy like this to be interesting.
