Tiny Times (2013) - full transcript

Shakespeare said

"Time will pierce the gorgeous delicate youth

would parallel lines engraved beauty brow, eat rare treasures,

natural beauty, what can not escape his sweep of the scythe."

Adapted from the Jing M, Guo's best selling novel

Tiny Times 1.0 Folded Paper Time

Hurry up, Ruby!

I'm trying! I stood up in the middle of my business!

Lily, are you sure the moves you've choreographed are okay?

I feel so weird about it

Of course they're okay, I've been reading Fashion Magazines since middle school



My choreography is absolutely the most fashion

And now, a female quartet group of High School Seniors,

the "Generation Sisters"

Presenting the song《Auld Lang Syne》

Of course, mine

Me...

We used to wander all day long

On the mountain of hometown

We used to suffer poverty in life

Striving for living everywhere

Friendship hits the spot Love between friends

Cheers for life long

Sing together for our everlasting friendship

Sing for our everlasting friendship



Don't misunderstand, this isn't me. I'm not this pretty

This is my friend Nan Xiang, she majors in painting and sculpture

She has an artistic flair and glamorous skin

Talented and beautiful, she's my ideal model

She likes to paint beautiful sceneries

And she's also a beautiful scenery in the eyes of many men

Her family isn't very wealthy

But art school is a place

that burns money like an incinerator

Okay, this is not me either

I'm not that luxurious. This is my friend Lily

As you can see, she is a bona-fide second generation of the wealthy

If I hadn't known her for more than a decade

I would be just like everybody else

can't help but want to throw xiao long bao at her face

Actually, I've done that before

She doesn't only have luxury on her mind, however

She double majors in Accounting and International Finance

And even self-taught business, and reaped profits in her spare time

She used to dabble in Gold sales

Recently she's involved in the International market for potatoes and corn

Of course, this would not be me at all

Get out of bed!

She is my good friend, Ruby Tang

She's a Secondary Badminton Athlete at the National level

But her dream is

To become a sex icon like Marilyn Monroe

As you can see

She's someone who is especially calm in situations where one wouldn't be calm

And not calm in situations where one should be calm…

That kind of girl

Okay, this is me

Not as pretty as Nan Xiang, not as refined as Lily

And not as OVER as Ruby

My name is Lin Xiao,

the most ordinary of the hundreds of thousands of Shanghainese girls

But our story is not so ordinary

Are you ready for it?

Lin Xiao, remember to bring the milk

Okay, okay

Why don't you drive today

Sure

That's not the point

I don't want to argue over a trivial RMB 24

The point is, your magazine《Monthly Times》

is completely wrong in the way fees and tax deductions are being handled

You don't understand what I mean, I don't need this RMB 24

But rather, an attitude, a professional attitude

If you insist on this attitude, then I apologize

This will be the last time I write for you

Hello!

Hello, where are you?

Central Plaza

Are Nan Xiang and Ruby there yet?

Oh, I will be there as soon as possible

So I got a crazy call this early morning

It made me so mad!

Tell you when I see you

You would expect more from a financial magazine

But not only did they make mistakes in their tax calculations,they wouldn't admit their mistake

This is as nonsensical as if a pet magazine

has an article on how to braise dog meat!

Bonjour Bonjour

《Monthly Comes》

Lily, school's started, what are you doing

Reading a pornography magazine, you, you!

Hey, Ru Ru, take a closer look

《Monthly Times》

With my literary level, it's really hard to accept

That they put "time" with "month"

"monthly time" is like a "period"

Lily, if you take a magazine like this

To an athlete student who hasn't taken a culture course since middle school

Then that's your fault

Lin Xiao

This is Jian Xi and Gu Yuan

Lily and my boyfriends

They've been close since high school

Two pieces of a puzzle

For two such perfect people to appear together

Is too much stimulant for any young girl to handle

Throughout our high school years

Lily, Nan Xiang, Ruby and I

The four of us, along with the girls of the entire school,

used them as blueprint

In sketches, paintings, designed, romanticized

Countless fan fiction stories of sentiments

This long-lasting group fantasy

Was ultimately killed off by me and Lily

And we drew an end to it all

Since high school, Lily and I became their treasures

But we also became an eyesore to all the girls within the school

The four of us are boisterous

Loving, chatty

You got here so late Till now

We're all done with registration

I just went to shop for shoes

You're ridiculous,

Nobody goes shopping for shoes so early in the morning on the first day of school!

What

You buy two meat buns every morning,

have I ever said anything about that?

Ah…

What?

What happened, did you win the lottery?

Lin Xiao, there are a lot of fraud organizations lately

I got an interview with《M.E》

It's this afternoon, haha…

What's《M.E》?

《M.E》is a publication

that's almost holy to us art students

Don't be too happy yet, I'd suggest you confirm first

These days, fraud groups like to target two kinds of people

One is senior citizens

And the other would be brainless and physically endowed college students like you

Do fraud organizations have such good taste?

See the paper is in good quality!

Speaking of taste, do you really plan to go to the interview in these tennis shoes?

I didn't have the heart to tell you

The granny who sells spicy boiled skewers in front of the school has a pair just like those

Hey, stop patronizing us regular citizens

These shoes on Lin Xiao's feet

Is limited edition that I waited all night in line to buy

Also, you know it well, I can't wear heels

Of course she knows

Last time at my grandmother's funeral, You forced her to wear heels

And she ended up falling,and spilled coffee all over my grandmother's gravestone…

Stop scaring me with ghost stories

Chairman Mao's said that superstitions are better not to be had

Take mine

I'm only applying to be a small assistant

Just take them, you can use them as self-defense if you don't wear them

If you see a bad guy, just smash his head

Well... I…

Hold them!

Yes Ma'am

You've been playing since high school until now, don't you get tired of it?

None of your business

Okay, we're going to register first

let's eat together, and then you can find time for your interview

Jian Xi and I will head to the cafeteria first, you guys hurry up

Hello, this is Lin Xiao

Ah, I'm already downstairs, already downstairs!

Do you work at《M.E》?

I'm there for an interview

Right

Along with an in-depth exclusive interview with last year's nominee for Nobel Prize in Literature

and introductions for prize winners for the past 3 years

Moyan of '12, Llosa of '10, and for '11…

Hm... '11...

Tomas Transtromer

Tomas Transtromer

Why don't you follow according to this plan, that's all for now

Greetings, passengers

This elevator is currently out of order

Please ride an alternative elevator

We apologize for your inconvenience

Hello, where is the interview, please?

there, over there

Is it over there, thanks…

Excuse me, sorry

Can you hurry!

Next time, look over it before handing it to me!

Every time I see these swans, I always think of these words

Graceful

Noble

Plump

Ruby's practice should be over by now

Why hasn't she come yet?

I... Did I get the wrong way?

What do you mean!

Ah…

Why are you yelling?!

NO, I am Wei Hai

God!

This is the first time in twenty two years that someone saw my breast!

I was really scared

Now the whole school knows someone saw your breast

Why don't you say it again in a deeper breath

I'm worried about the old guy in the mail room

Just missed this exciting broadcast

But I really feel scar…

Okay, stop it

Thanks

I'm Kitty

Assistant to《M.E》Chief Editor Mr. Gong Ming

I will be responsible for today's interview

Hello Kitty

Mr. Gong is not hiring male assistants

Then… then why did you send me an email for the interview?

Honey, when I sent that email

I could never have thought that Vivian…

is a male

Next time, you should just use your Chinese name Iron Wang

That way people won't be mistaken

You...

One at a time, all of you

First up, Xiao Ya Fang

A cup of coffee

Yes, right away

No need for you to go

Find one here to do it

Test

You

Mmhm

Get a cup of hot latte downstairs, double sugar

Ah... Okay

Are you okay?

You're back, how was the interview?

Looks like it wasn't anything

The first day of school passed by just like that

Our lives kept turning like this, day by day

seconds, minutes, hours

Dragging shadows along to become this enormous era

And I, and we, are the most insignificant existence

In this era

Ms. Lin Xiao, I'm Kitty, the one who saw you yesterday

We have decided to hire you as a

special assistant to the Chief Editor of 《M.E》magazine

You, you're not joking!

Ms. Lin Xiao, I never make jokes during my job

I have to run some errands at noon

I'll need you to execute your position immediately

Do you mean now?

My rooster hasn't even crowed yet!

The rooster on my end has already begun brushing its teeth and washing up

Alright, I have no time for a cross talk

Right now, right away

Hello, Lin Xiao

Hello Kitty

Hello, Kaidi

Listen, Lin Xiao, just like I told you yesterday

I hope that you can recognize from the bottom of your heart

This is a demanding job

You are Mr. Gong's weekend special assistant

which means, during Saturday and Sunday

Not only are you his assistant for job

But also private assistant in his life

What level of privacy?

Any level of privacy

Does that include sleeping together?

In your dreams!

Pick up!

Hello

Mm

The man on the line is so strange

Yelling at me to buy him coffee

But he doesn't say who he is

Who am I buying it for?

This red phone is an exclusive internal line

Only he could connect

Who ?

Your boss

Is it like that no one in the company call him by his name?

Kind of like Voldemort or something

Do they call him the mystery man?

You still have 5 minutes to get that coffee

Also, please read and memorize this document as soon as possible

You have to remember every single line in here

Know it better than your boyfriend's birthday, zodiac sign, blood type

And even your own menstrual cycle

But my menstrual cycle is not regular

Number One

He is a severe germaphobe, and especially dislikes using keys

After using a key, he will repeatedly wash his hands and disinfect

Number Two

He likes to collect various types of cups

The cups for coffee, fruit tea,

Chinese tea, water, juice

Nutritional formula are all different

Don't get it wrong

Number Three

He absolutely completely hates

fish

What's wrong with fish? Fish look so VOGUE

I think he must've been bitten by a fish as a child

Not only does he not eat fish, he can't even look at them

Number Four

When sending him emails or text messages

Try to use only commas and periods

No matter what happens, act calm and prim

Perform like a robot

Hi, Mr. Gong

Lin Xiao, I'm on the way to the airport

My cell phone is almost dead, I didn't bring a charger

Please arrange someone to send a charger…

to my hotel room in Beijing

Yes, Mr. Gong, about your cell phone…

Kitty, do you know Mr. Gong's cell phone model?

I know all of his cell phone models

The problem is, I don't know which cell phone he brought today

And his house is as bizarre as he is, can you believe it?

He built a glass house in the CBD

Where not even a tree could be moved easily

Hello, at which number does Mr. Gong Ming live?

Which number? Only one number

The entire building is Mr. Gong Ming's house

Oh, I'm here to bring Mr. Gong Ming a document

I'm sorry

Without Mr. Gong Ming's permission, nobody can enter

Sir, you may not know me

I'm Mr. Gong Ming's new assistant

Mr. Gong Ming is currently in a meeting, and can't take calls

Make an exception for me and let me in

Young lady, just speak normally

Don't try to sound like the actress Yang Mi

I can't stand that voice the most

So are you going to let me in?

Ah! Hey! elevator!

Is he a demon? Does he live in the Water Curtain Cave?

No, he lives on top of Mount Tai

For an entire month

It was as if I stayed at an international spy training center

And underwent live scrimmage every day

This water looks so much like champagne

It even has bubbles

I even feel like

If Gong Ming asked me to get an nuclear bomb from Russia

I can turn and walk out of the office without an ounce of fear

Bring the atomic bomb to the company the next day

And place it on his desk

This is my assistant Kitty

Kitty and I are like the beautiful female agents

who are always with 007

Flying and leaping off walls, up mountains and under the sea

One more glass

Hello, Ms. Lin Xiao, this is Mr. Gong's document

Mm, okay

Your zipper's bursted open

Ah... Kitty! Document!

Although, even female agents make mistakes

What's more, she's dragged others down as well

How come you're back so late, see what time it is…

You haven't slept either

making clothes?

The Professional Clothing elective course should have a lot of expenditures

Have to paint more pictures for pedestrians

Your dress looks so

He he, hurry up and help me

I was so humiliated today, see

Go to change

Lin Xiao, I actually think this set of clothing doesn't fit you well

Mm

Let's go, I'll help you pick

Okay

No problem, Kitty, I'll hurry over right now

Just sms me the type and brand of the tie

I'm leaving

Wow!

Not bad!

Lin Xiao

Did you bring the tie?

Here

Come down

Who is he?

Haven't you read every edition of the magazine?

He is Zhou Chong Guang, the《M.E》column writer who rose to prominence in the last two years

So he's Zhou Chong Guang

He does look better in person compared to the magazines

Wake up!

Don't be fooled by his innocent little face

Have you ever seen…

A writer who uses diabetes

And gallstones

To fool the editor into giving him an extension

Who's the poor soul in charge of rushing his drafts

Me

But from today on, it will be your responsibility

Let's go, We'll get this tie ironed

I heard from Kitty that you're responsible for my drafts

Hello, I'm Lin Xiao

The zipper's okay today, right?

I want to eat lychee

Where am I going to get you lychee in October?

On the tree!

I really don't know what excuses Zhou Chong Guang would use

In the future to delay his drafts and make me suffer

Stop thinking about it now

Get drunk if there's wine, if homeless, streets are fine

Isn't there a song…

"I slept on the side of the road all day"

What's the next line again?

"Uncle held the money and nodded my way"

"I said to uncle"

"uncle, good day"

Did you start doing business on the roadside

Lily

Lin Xiao! I was frightened

Shh

Lily, don't…

I'm here for Nan Xiang, what does it have to do with you!

You thought I'm here for you

Get over yourself!

Stop scolding Lily!

Lily

You guys just go first, I…

Why are you involved with this scum, are you out of your mind!

From middle school until now, haven't you suffered enough?

This has nothing to do with you

You're more worked up than I am

Is that necessary?

No

It's especially unnecessary!

Dumped three times, slapped four times

I'm not the one who was beaten,

who had to go to hospital for severe injuries, and kicked out of the house!

Nan Xiang, if he drives you to your grave one day

I'm not responsible for your remains!

Seems a bit cold

Throw it away if you don't want to eat

Xi Cheng

From now on, don't come for me anymore

I don't want to see you anymore

The Nan Xiang I knew

Had given the most wonderful time of her youth

To this person who's hurt her the most

She once told me

That feeling is like

Cropping the best segment

From the her own cloth of life

And to sew it in another's life with her own hands

Numerous firsts of her youth

First time holding hands

First embrace

First kiss

First time running away from home…

These things all overlapped with the tracks of Xi Cheng's life

I'm not as furious as Lily

On the contrary, I feel the utmost empathy for Nan Xiang

That night

Nan Xiang finally chose to cut away this segment

of a love that has been buried deep in her bone and blood

I understand her reluctance and pain

And understand all her pain is from love

From then on

Nan Xiang has never mentioned Xi Cheng again

It seems that everybody's lives has gone upon the right and stable tracks

So talented

Come here, Gu Yuan

Let me introduce you, this is my son, Gu Yuan

This young man is talented and handsome

Gu Yuan, this is Yuan Yi

Come, sit, you all should sit

Does your daughter have a boyfriend?

Not yet

It's only right to find a good person

My son doesn't have a girlfriend

Really? What a coincidence

I have a girlfriend

Just a joke, hope you don't mind

Have some tea

Lin Xiao, get me a glass of water

Oh, okay, Mr. Gong

Buy a new one

This is the cup's brand and the address

Go quickly

Lin Xiao

Jian Xi

I'm sorry

I really didn't want to trouble you

But I really don't have enough money

Execuse me, Sir, you can't sit here

Jian Xi, okay, it's paid

I'll take you to get some good meal to eat later

I still need to get the cup to Gong Ming later

In case he needs it tomorrow…

Then I'll be leaving

Hey, Jian Xi

Your card

Keep the card, what if you need to buy something else

The PIN is your birthday

Mr. Gong, I'm sorry

I'm here to return the cup

Where's the receipt?

There wasn't one

It doesn't matter anyway

Mr... Mr. Gong, do you mean to say…

I don't need to compensate for the loss?

Just make up a receipt

Then I'll be leaving now, Mr. Gong…

Wait

It was going to be a gift

But now there's no need

Take it if you like

This is my first time seeing

Gong Ming away from brand-named suits and luxury cars

First time seeing Gong Ming so unlike his usual self

It's as if I had a glimpse at the vast but lonely sky

Through a small window

This person

Is apart from the regular egotistic shell that can summon storms

All that's left is a gentle heart

Just like the lone light in his window at the moment

A distant and lonely planet

In the silent universe

In the endless darkness

Softly shining without a word

Should I say it…

Hello

Isn't it because Yuan Yi's car broke down

And it's dangerous for a girl to go home in the middle of the night

So it should be no problem for you to let her sleep on a bed in your room

Then why can't the bed just be set up in the living room?

How rude

To let the guest sleep in the living room!

Then I'll sleep in the living room

She's not freaked out, you're a big man

Why are you freaked out?

She'd better not freak out

I'm going to take a shower

Let me remind you something

You should stop shopping that much from now on

I know

You've already deactivated my credit card

But don't worry

I won't starve to death

Hello

Where's Gu Yuan?

He's taking a shower

Who are you?

Enough?

Don't you have classes this morning?

Don't feel well

Don't want to go

Lin Xiao

What's the matter with you? Pick up the phone

Hello

It's Jian Xi

He's looking for you

Hello

Nan Xiang, I have to tell you something

Tell me later

Nan Xiang

Lin Xiao

I can't believe…

I can't believe you didn't fix my face slimmer!

Ah…

If you are overseeing our university

in God's perspective or somewhere up high

Then you will see

A brilliant game of cat and mouse

There are thousands of possibilities in life

The end can be completely different depending on who meets whom first

God has thrown a handful of balls onto the roulette

Before the roulette stops

Nobody knows who the final winner would be

Nan Xiang

Where are you?

How can you treat me like this! Lin Xiao, how can you!

Lin Xiao

You

Lin Xiao, okay that's it, have you gone nuts!

Lin Xiao, don't go…

Nan Xiang, tell her, tell her!

Lin Xiao

If I were your boyfriend,

I'd swing my arms at you and give you two slaps!

You should have hit him!

Who knows which woman he slept with yesterday!

I didn't

Jian Xi didn't sleep with other women

It's Gu Yuan

So you are saying...

Jian Xi... The one who slept with Jian Xi was Gu Yuan?

Okay... you mean ...

Gu Yuan is the one sleeping with other women?

Oh, You're all here

What are you talking about

What's the situation

Nerves wrecked

I think she just wanted to leave the crime scene as quickly as possible

Lily, I have something to tell you

Jian Xi only knew after that girl picked up the phone

that he left at Gu Yuan's place

Lily, you should have a talk with Gu Yuan

I have something to tell you

The school specifies no vehicles within dormitory area,

why did you drive in here

You can't, but I can

Because we're different

Your words are...

Mom

Did you understand what I just said

Don't see Gu Yuan anymore

Our family is not open to the lowly poor like you

You'd better take a good look at your own worth

Before you make friends or do things with people

Then you should take a look at your son's worth first

Hmph

How insolent!

Mom

My son doesn't seem to have skipped out on spending money on you

Your son has bought nothing that I'm wearing right now

In fact, I bought the boots your son's wearing

How can such an educated woman

Sound so much like...

A middle-aged woman like my mom

Don't be mad anymore

I like you

It's not because you've had a driver since you were little

It's not because you have brand-named bags

And it's definitely not because you gave me expensive boots

Even if you don't have a cent

I will still like you

Don't be childish!

Be mature!

You really think these things aren't worth anything

Let me tell you

Love without materialism is just a pile of sand

Even without the flowing wind

It will spill after a couple of steps

If I were a poor student

Would you, Gu Yuan, still like me!?

Of course I would!

If I'm a poor guy today

Would you still like me!?

Would you!?

I understand now

You don't understand

The reason you can nonchalantly state "money isn't important"

"If I had no money would you still love me"

these bold words

Is that you've never lived without money

You bring around four-hundred-thousand dollars' worth of credit

Racking up receipts on POS machines without a worry

Just for a pretty watch, a pretty shirt

You used a noble manner to play a slovenly aristocrat

Stop this pretense of self-satisfaction

You've read too much Shakespeare!

Have it back!

Have it all back!

For so many years

Lily and Gu Yuan are always arguing in every way

As if at any time a bomb could be set off to blow both of them up

But in the next moment,

they've made up as if nothing's happened

I thought this time would be the same

But...

These…

are all that you've given to Gu Yuan in the past

What's the matter

You're spacing out

Nothing, Mr. Gong

By the way

I need you to run an errand for me

I thought it would be like before

Just to buy some coffee or deliver a document

I never would have thought

That Gong Ming had given me

The entire program for the New Shanghai Fashion Design Competition

Organized by《M.E》

And the organizer was my university

The representative from my school is waiting for me at the meeting room, at this moment

The moment I opened the doors

I'd understood

The reason for Gong Ming to give me this job

It's not because I am more capable than Kitty

But because...

Hello, I'm the representative this time...

for《M.E》

Tell me

How much wine did you have the Principal to drink

Why did he give someone majoring in Accounting and International Finance

to take full charge in this fashion event

Are all those Professional Clothing Design people

cultivating hybrid rice now

What's wrong with International Finance

Which eye on your body could tell I don't understand fashion

I only have two eyes on me, and...

and

Is there anyone in Fashion Design

that could talk about budget with you

They can only chuckle and say, don't talk to me about money, shallow

Art is priceless

Priceless? Come on

When they see rich collectors or famous CEOs

They can't help wanting to put a bar code on their forehead

Do you think the school has given a logical budget

This budget is only enough for a folk dance in Tieling

That's why we came to Pudong for a venue

I sacrificed so much

You know that I get allergic when I leave the inner city

And roaming charges are so expensive in Pudong

The signal is terrible…

I have to say, there is always a cement smell in Pudong

Lin Xiao, do you think this is just an accident

Or are the people in Pudong intentionally breaking me

Lily, don't think too much…

Obviously somebody is trying to hit you

You truly want to build the stage by the waterfront,

and have models walk down from the ship

For safety, I'd suggest to build an indoor stage

Mr. Gong has approved an outdoor stage

And it's rare for me to see him smile

That's rarer than a Halley's Comet

You might not even see it every 76 years

Okay, fine

Let's discuss the seating…

The seating has been modified seventeen times

Do you need to add anything to the VIP list?

I'll confirm with you one last time

If you change it again,

I'm going to pull your intestines out and tie a bow with it

One more thing

Your... Hair is a little too messy

You are back

Lin Xiao

I have something to tell you

Did Xi Cheng come for you again

No, it's about the Fashion Show this time

I want to ask you a favor

But I don't want to mix money

with our friendship

Come on, Nan Xiang

Haven't we always mixed money and friendship

Remember, during high school

Lily and I took your pictures

and sold them to acne-faced upper class boys

for ten dollars each

Also, there was a time when both of us

Sold Lily's term paper online

And bought a solar hot water dispenser with the profit,

remember?

Okay

Aren't you and Lily responsible for this Fashion Show Design Competition?

I would like you to help, could you let me join the competition?

But this competition is for students major in Professional Clothing Design

You only have that course as an elective, would you be able to join?

I know, that's why I wanted to see if you could do anything

Oh wait

Isn't Gu Yuan's mother a special judge this time

We can ask her for help

If Lily finds out, she'll kill you, won't she

She will

You two are standard nepotistic

What are you doing here, Grandma Rong

What do you know

I am the Princess

Did Lin Xiao really do that

Of course, she hurried out the door early this morning

She's a hen, and still turned herself in to a weasel

Lin Xiao is a hen?

Lin Xiao, is this really okay

Thank you so much

I'm in

Thank you, Lin Xiao

Really? but Ye Zhuan Ping already refused me

Why?

Because your brain was squashed by the door

If it wasn't me

You two would be huddled and crying

You ask Ye Zhuan Ping for help, that's not helping her

You're looking down upon yourself, and insulting me as well

Lily, don't be mad

Lin Xiao and I just didn't want to trouble you

So we decided on our own

Lily, thank you

But how did you do it?

I asked the in-charge professor , Professor Sun

Reasoning by truth and touching by heart, done

Really, Lily, you're too eloquent

Of course

On this 9.6 million square kilometer land

Everybody knows about Lily's silver-tongued

Plus, professor Sun is my uncle

So, in the end I couldn't do anything

and relied on Lily

It's because you can't accomplish anything

Your innocent attempts are what make you cute

A superwoman like Lily

Might not attract boys anyway

You think I can't accomplish anything either, huh

That's not what I mean

That's what you mean, you're laughing

Lin Xiao

You still have to go to work, I should stop bothering you

Am I cute for not being able to do anything?

This is the "Lin Xiao" that Jian Xi likes?

Do I like myself like this?

What a pretty piece of clothing

I've never worn such pretty clothing

I'll make it for you

Even if you make it for me

I wouldn't have an occasion to wear it

I'm predicting that I'll be

Wearing training clothes all my life

As the Fashion Show drew near, Christmas came

Christmas every year is the most beautiful time in Shanghai

The entire Shanghai shimmers as if covered by golden specks

Traditionally, during Christmas Lily and I

would be busy preparing presents for our boyfriends

This year, however, we have a same new goal

It's all arranged, take a look, any problem

Not bad

A little better than Lucy

Pretty good

Pretty good, good Li

How about this angle, what about that

Okay, don't talk, don't talk

Did you get a clear shot

Aye, okay

Close up

Just now, take a look,

take a look, the last one

Okay

You, talk, Lily, is this you

So early in the morning, were you beaten

It's the New Year, who lacks this much integrity

Did you call the police yet

Okay, well, that's useless anyway

meanness and bitterness is an integrity issue

The police can't arrest her

Lily, don't tell me you can't tell that Ruby put make-up on

Don't joke around

Seriously

When did you get a sugar daddy

Sugar daddy

A sugar daddy would pick me over others

That's true, you look like the seductive type

Okay, stop digging yourselves into holes

Today is Christmas Eve

In the past we would spend it with boyfriends, this year...

This year, she was the only one left with a boyfriend

Hence, we substituted wine with tea

Have ourselves a Merry Christmas, and may we live forever

Chairs

Cheers

A week ago, Zhou Chong Guang agreed to write a special article

And to appear on the day of the show as a VIP

Now you tell me that he hasn't written the article

And is unwilling to be VIP

Film company closes at six

Publishing and proofreading takes about two hours total

So, counting from now, Lin Xiao

You have seven hours to get Chong Guang's draft

If it's not done by the deadline

Then you're done at this company

Zhou Chong Guang, I hear you flushing the toilet

Living draft

Dead editor

Your house...

Has it been hit by an atomic bomb

Ah

Oh

That's why, with such terrible living conditions,

how could I write

Even yesterday, the last cockroach in my house left

Its last words before it left was

"I can't stand it anymore"

How about this

If you turn the draft in

I'll agree to help you clean

Once I said those words, I regretted it right away

Like Dominos

Once the first falls, a second one will too

Soon, I was agreeing to every condition

Zhou Chong Guang could think of

Just to get his draft

I don't want to write, can't think of what to write

Zhou Chong Guang, I know you're famous

Many people have come for your writing

But you've already promised us work,

so please complete it

I also want to finish my work

Who do you think would want to help you clean your house

You know a simple "Don't want to"

Can cause many people to lose their jobs

When you do want to write someday,

many will line up for you

Of course it doesn't matter to you, but what about us

Normal people like us

Might be working hard for a dream or a job,

which you singlehandedly destroyed

Want some ice cream

Yes

Why are you till here

Wait for me

This is the draft I'd written before

Hand written, no time to type it

If you can use it, then take it...

Yes yes

Thank you

Tell Gong Ming for me

The thing... About the Fashion Show Press Conference, I won't be going

Why

Gastric cancer

Stop being naughty

Mr. Gong, Mr. Gong

I got the draft from Zhou Chong Guang

No need

Kitty has already brought the one she compiled to the publisher

Anything else?

No

Then I'll be going

This mass email

Was made by Gong Ming

To make up for Chong Guang's missing section

He wrote the article himself, and picked the pictures

I think I finally understood

In the document of "Gong Ming's Likes and Hates"

The phrase "He always likes to prepare a Plan B"

And its meaning

Are you willing to take this woman as your wife

I Do

Do! Do

Do I... Do I...

Ah

Your endurance is high

Ah

Don't misunderstand, I don't mean endurance in the bed

I have a present for you

Open...

This is too pricey, I can't take it

This is a token... From me

Thank you, Ru Ru

Ru Ru

Wei Hai...

Yao yao, how come you came here

Merry Christmas, Baby

Merry Christmas

Rain is like flowers when wind blows

Time flies but failed to reach white house

Dream in your youth

Still in your hand?

Cloud overwhelm the summer

What do you mean, a Christmas present?

I didn't prepare one for you

This is everything you've given to me, now returned to you

You asked me out specifically to give me this

What else did you think

Together Forever and Forever

Even to fight with time

Even against the world

Snowflakes is shinning by wind blowing

Wind blows to make our hair white

We said to fight the world together

Do you still remember

Jian Xi

Sorry

Sorry, Jian Xi

There are no more seats

I'm sorry

It's all because of Gong Ming, Gong Ming wanted me to...

Don't say that name to me, I don't want to hear it

Jian Xi, you've misunderstood me

Give me your bag

What

What did I misunderstand?

You've really got me all wrong, it's not what you think

Jian Xi, Jian Xi

If it's not because the cell phone is dead

I wouldn't have known

The only cell phone number I've memorized

Is this one

Hello

Lin Xiao

Don't cry

Come to my place first

Okay

Snowflakes is shinning by wind blowing

Wind blows to make our hair white

We said to fight the world together

Do you still remember

Hey

Mm

I'll come, I'm coming

Do you have wine at your house

Do you have cake

I want to eat stinky tofu

No one would hurt the innocence

I won’t betray you even in ridiculous youth

Drive faster

The path we have been together

Snow can never erase

The mark in our hearts for each other

What day is today

Time to say Goodbye

Farwell you to far way in moonlight

Wait for wind in next Autumn

Ruby

Lily, I want this one

Surprise

I can't believe

This Christmas

Two single men stay together

Two heartbroken men

You and Lin Xiao are heartbroken too?

Kitty

Kitty, there's someone outside for you

So pretty So cold

Laid down

Ah... So pretty. Step aside, step aside

So cold

So cold, I'm freezing

We're going to drink all of Lily's wine today

You've got guts, you drink, drink it up

Zhou Chong Guang said he has gastric cancer, that liar

Guo Jing Ming just said that he has gastric ulcer

Gastric ulcer... What's so good about Wei Hai, to hell with Wei Hai

To be honest, sisters, am I not good?

not good

Worse

I hate you! I hate you!

Stop pretending to be drunk, if you get it on the dresses

I will cut off all your hair to make a new one

Oh, forgive us, your majesty

So cold

Come on, you three

Don't think about leaving me in this lifetime

I'm the gum in your hair

Yark

To get rid of me, you'll have to cut me off

We used to wander all day long

On the mountain of hometown

We used to…

It's snowing

Striving for living everywhere

Friendship hits the spot Love between friends

Cheers for life long

Sing together for our everlasting friendship

Lin Xiao

Pick up the phone

Hello, Kitty

Didn't we agree to assemble at 11

It's not even bright yet

What are you talking about

Lin Xiao

You should have checked the weather forecast since a week ago

I can't believe you don't know about a snowstorm this big!

Say something!

Sorry

Set up according to the first design, here's the seating arrangement

Yes, okay

Mr. Gong, this side is ready for set up

You can come anytime

I already have the back-up stage prepared

Kitty, go to help the set up now

Lin Xiao, you stay to take care of the rest

Let the staff carry the clothes to the new stage

Notify all the designers at the same time

When finished, rendezvous with us

Plan B...

Better put the big box a little closer in

You can put that last one here

Hey, Kitty

Hey, Kitty, my reception is bad

We're almost done moving

I have the designers' roll, I can contact them

Ms. Lin, we're done moving most of the clothes

Then we can go

Okay, I'm about to head over there

Let's meet at the venue in a bit

Hello, Lily

I've found the place you were talking about

But here, is it here

No matter how I look at it, doesn't seem like the Fashion Press Conference

So where are you

Lin Xiao

Lin Xiao, stop spacing out, come up

From the stairs over there

Hello, Ruby, don't scream so loud next to my ear

I just got Lin Xiao

Stay where you are, we'll come to you right away

Lin Xiao

Where's Kitty

I just saw her hanging on a pole and screaming

I blinked and now she's gone

Ruby is already waiting, let's go

You're wearing so little, not afraid of the cold?

Of course I'm afraid of the cold, but I'm more afraid of being ugly

How did you finish setting up in such a short time

What do you mean short, I spent a long time preparing

When you came up with the waterfront plan,

I thought it was farfetched

If it weren't for me, you'd have to cry to Gong Ming on your knees

Lin Xiao, Lily

Ruby

What's wrong

There are all these models without clothes, I was shocked

Stop kidding, where's Nan Xiang

Nan Xiang just went up, she asked me to come down and get you

Quickly

Lily, Lin Xiao

Hi, Nan Xiang

Here, over here

Kitty

Why did you get here so late

A crowd of VIP will be here soon, begin preparations quickly

Oh yes, let me lead Gong Ming in here

Lin Xiao, there's a speech draft in the bag up there

You must give it to him before he gets on the stage

Okay

Lin Xiao, let's go, quickly

Nan Xiang, your clothes will be here soon

Yes, okay

Ruby, follow

Oh, we're going to see them with no clothes,

I'm so embarrassed

Don't be, the one stripping is not you

May I

You can strip, but I wouldn't dare look

I'm going to look for my competition clothes, see you later

Mmhm

I'll help, I'll help

Before Gong Ming gets here

You'd better change out of your clothes quickly

It's as if you're wearing a resignation letter right now

I'll wait for you by the door, come to me after you've changed

This is no good, change it

Oh, you're Gong Ming's new assistant

I'm Lin Xiao, hello

Hello, call me Doris, I'm Gong Ming's ex-assistant

I noticed you're attentive to Kitty, you two have a good relationship

She takes care of me well

She used to "take care" of me, too

Her "taking care" caused me leaving 《M.E》

Mr. Gong has arrived

Mr. Gong, I'm responsible to lead you to the seats

This venue was suggested by you

When you first helped Lin Xiao plan

But it was rejected at the time, wasn't it

You're not the only one with a Plan B in this world

How is that possible

How is that impossible

Little lady

You want to play with them

You are not vicious enough

Got it, got it

I'm here with my mother

This is my son's new girlfriend, Yuan Yi

I've heard so much about you

Haven't you asked me before

Why my car is allowed in your school

That's because your principal asked me to be your final judge

As a staff here

Shouldn't you welcome us to our seats

This way, please

Chong Guang, Chong Guang is here

Here, here

Chong Guang has been welcomed in

I almost thought you would come in a vest and slippers

How is it, shocked by my handsomeness

Who would be handsome in that kind of attire

And you even applied fake eyelashes

These eyelashes are real

Stop joking, you sit in the fourth one over there

I still have to get Gong Ming his speech draft, I'll be off

I almost thought you weren't coming, does Lin Xiao know you've come?

I could hardly recognize Lin Xiao

Enjoy the show

Don't think so much

"Kitty is a bitch"

What happened

Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you

joining us here today for the

7th Annual Shanghai Fashion Awards

What happened

Gong Ming has not read anything I'd written

as a host and witness to the amazing

young talents in the show

Sir, is there still a case of clothes in the back?

No, all the clothes are here

So without any further ado

I present to you the 7th Annual Shanghai Fashion Awards

Thank you so much

What I need is a speech draft

Not a self-introduction

This is what you'd given to Mr. Gong

Lin Xiao

Lin Xiao

Lin Xiao!

Nan Xiang, what are you doing here? You're the third to go on!

Lin Xiao, my clothes are missing

What do you mean the clothes are missing?

My clothes are not in the backstage.

Lin Xiao!

What do you mean on the phone, that the clothes are missing

My clothes were left at the other stage and no one bring them over here

How did this happen?

Lin Xiao rushed out earlier, where did she go?

Lin Xiao went to the other stage to look for Nan Xiang's clothes

But she'll be back too late

Nan Xiang's up soon

Hello

Lily, I've found Nan Xiang's clothes

But you need to buy me some time

Lin Xiao said she's found the clothes, and on her way back

I'm going to try to change the order of things

Ruby, wait at the front entrance for Lin Xiao

Cars can't come through since the perimeter has been blocked

Okay

I'll go with you, I'm worried, but who will...

I will go

I'll go to find Kitty, and will try to push Nan Xiang's order back

Okay

I will go with you

Let's go, hurry

There's been an issue with Nan Xiang's clothes, could you switch her part to the last?

Hello, Lin Xiao, where are you? Here yet?

Master, how long can we get there?

Little girl, there's a traffic jam, we can't move

After this exit then we're off the highway

Please help, I beg you

You can see I have no other way,

even if you beg

Do you feel me

I am calling you

Are you standing

Holding me tightly

I am not afraid because you are always here

Lin Xiao

Lily

Stop crying, get the clothes and move

Give me the big one, you can't carry it

You... How can you get on the highway?

Stop wasting your breath, we won't be able to go if the cops come

What are you waiting for

Run!

Are you with me

This is our time

Come with me

Will you stand with me tonight

Starry night and ocean

Will stay with us

All become meaningful because of you

Because of you

All belong to you

Are you with me

In this lonely time

Come with me

Caus we're fighting for our lives

Are you with me

No more lonely time

Come with me

Will you stand with me tonight

The world is here

Cheering us up

Hurry hurry

Made it, made it

Made it, we made it

Hurry and change

The last designer's model has finished her appearance

The designer is closing up on the stage

Get the clothes on the model

Hurry

Eh... Ladies and gentleman, please wait, please wait

We have prepared a special feature…

for the end of today's show

Before then...

Before this...

It's our pleasure to have the most famous writer

Mr. Zhou Chong Guang to speak a few words for the upcoming feature

Please give your warm applause

What should I say

I don't know

I hate you

You're welcome

Cut out all the lights except the one above Chong Guang

Yes

We live in a vast universe

Stardust and Light particles floating all throughout

We are existences smaller than these

One does not know when life's direction would change

Sunk into a thick darkness like ink

Dragged into a deep abyss by disappointment

trapped into a grave by illness

Trampled to pieces by frustration

You are jeered

Mocked

Disliked

Hated

Patronized

Abandoned

But we preserved hope in our hearts

Kept a heart that would not give up beating

We still make tiny efforts in the midst of great despair

And this feeling of not willing to give up

It becomes the specks of starlight in the dark

Zhou Chong Guang

We're all

Small specks of star light

Oh my god, there are three more pieces

Ah

Nan Xiang asked me to tell you

These three were prepared for you three

My inspiration

Comes from the girls around me

One among them felt that she would only fit in a training suit

And never have a chance to wear a glamorous skirt

Some girls seem cold on the outside

But have a heart that burns like fire

They're all exquisite in appearance and charming in their confidence

Forever, she is the strongest backup for friends

Some girls may not always have confidence

However, they continue their efforts for their future

They are beautiful for their dreams, and touch others with their perseverance

Some girls may be poor

But still believe

That they may achieve their beautiful dream in the cruel reality

This brings out the beauty in everyone

I wanted to design clothes for these girls

Whether they're ordinary or beautiful

Poor or rich

I hope they can see their most beautiful selves

This girl has a lot of talent, you should sign her

One Two Three

They still look like young girls

Just as they were in high school

No

They've grown to be better

Lin Xiao

K...Kitty

I apologize for earlier

I will submit my resignation letter to Mr. Gong tomorrow

Sure

but before you resign

I feel I should clear something up with you

A copy of this footage

Is now resting in Boss Doris' E-mail

I'll pretend I didn't hear anything about your resignation

Kitty

No need to express gratitude

If you want to say anything

Please put on your shoes first

Mr. Gong, why have you come

Mr. Gong

There are a lot of girls around me who wear heels

But you're the only one with tennis shoes

I've discovered

Many things about you that those girls do not have

I think these things are wonderful, and precious

To conclude the story with your sight of back

Loneliness is the the most precious annotation

Day and night

How ridiculous old days

You are alike snow in passion

You never compromise

You are as sharp as a knife

However you

However you

Tender and pure

Jian Xi

You are as dark as midnight

However you

However you

Warm and bright
