【FULL】Dear Missy EP01 | 了不起的女孩 | iQIYI
[English subtitles are available] [Do you have a person] [like this in your life?] [Someone to daydream] [and go to the washroom with.] [You share the latest gossip.] [Talk about boys.] [During the happiest age,] [you do the dumbest things together.] [She’d wear your t-shirt,] [while you wear her lipstick.] [Until you realise]
[both of you have become more alike.] [However, both of you separated somehow.] [You’re leading a brand new life.] [She has new friends.] [You find yourself thinking about her.] [Without those misunderstandings,] [arguments,] [if she was still in your life,] [both of your lives] [would probably be different.] [You’d imagine her face] [countless times.]
[You’d imagine the conversations and] [the moment you meet again.] [If fate] [really gave you another chance,] [how would you tell] [your story?] [2017] [London] [The flight to Shanghai] [is about to take off.] [All passengers] [should board at Gate 1.] [Thank you.] Xiao Ke. Cheng Nan. -Did you bring it? -Yes, I did.
Is this the one? You placed it on the shoe rack. Yes, this is it. [Notebook] You’re pretty interesting. I’d never seen anyone receive a resignation while recommending another company. I just want to help relieve some of your frustrations from the resignation. I’m not upset at all. I’ve already found a new job anyway.
That’s great. Where are you going? I’m going to Youjia. I’m transferring to the operations’ team. You should join me. The benefits are pretty good. Thanks. I won’t be joining you. I’m pretty happy working at Nouveau. It seems you’re unaware. Nouveau is ceasing publication. That’s impossible. It’s true. Everyone knows. Nouveau has been
Around for over 20 years. It can’t shut down just like that. Lu Ke. I know you have affections for Nouveau. You’re Lu Ke, the best editor. You need to consider your future as well. Am I right? See how it goes. I heard the publisher sent by the headquarters to conduct the operation
Is arriving at Shanghai soon. I shall make a move then. [Nouveau] [Nouveau] [Nouveau] [Dear Missy] [Nouveau’s group chat] I’m the only one who submitted my draft in the group chat. Song Yan isn’t urging the rest either. If what she said is true, if they are ceasing publications, everyone would be demotivated.
Honestly, there aren’t many readers anymore. It’s fine. If it closes down, I’ll take care of you. Nouveau is different from other magazines. I know you’re very reluctant. It’s been my favourite magazine since I was young. I became an editor at Nouveau. It makes me feel like my dreams are attainable.
I gave Nouveau all of my youth. It can’t shut down just like that. I understand, Xiao Ke. You’re just an editor. There’s nothing you can do, right? [Dear Missy, Episode 1: “This Is Our Last Shot”] [Nouveau] Xiao Yue. -Are there any parcels for me? -No. Thanks. Abby. Are you leaving too?
Yes. I have no choice. You can have this. I’m leaving it here. No, Ke Ke just left. Why are you leaving too? We haven’t received bonuses in a long time. The Chief Editor is here. I’ll catch you later. Let’s get a meal together. Song Yan. Did you receive the draft I sent
In the group chat? Yes. I’ll talk to you about it later. The new publisher is here. I have a meeting with her. Song Yan. I just want to ask if you’re attending a meeting about ceasing publications? About this, I think as long as we figure something out together and work harder,
Nouveau doesn’t have to cease publication. As the chief editor, I did everything I could. I don’t have the authority to make decisions. But… [In light of the school magazine’s editorial team,] [namely Shen Si Yi and Han Huai of Class 3, Senior Year 3’s] [violation of school rules] [and its subsequent impact,]
[the school has decided to punish them] [School Journalism Club] [by suspending “Look” magazine] [of all activities including publication.] [This shall serve as a warning.] Who are you? Why did you enter my office without permission? I’m the new acting publisher, Shen Si Yi. Ms Lu. What brings you to my office? Yes, I do.
I think the decision to cease publication is too hasty. It’s a huge company. It’s also the first Chinese publication of the organisation. It can’t stop just like that. Ms Lu, it wasn’t my decision. It was the headquarters’ decision. Let’s be clear. Shen Si Yi. You’ve been reading
Nouveau ever since you were a kid. Yes. So what? Forget it. With people like you working here, there’s no hope for Nouveau. Hold on. What kind of person am I? You know full well what kind of person you are. What’s the matter? [It’s over for Nouveau.]
Please take a break from your current tasks. Hello, everyone. I’m the acting publisher sent by the London headquarters. As for the reason I’m here, I’m sure you have all heard. For the past two years, traditional paper media has been greatly affected by the internet. People who read magazines are dramatically decreasing.
When there are no readers, no companies would advertise. That means we have no income. The headquarters’ decision to cease publication is reasonable. Thus, I’m sent to handle the operation. Closing the company is simple. Anyone can do it. However, to me, it feels pretty discouraging. So, I’ve decided to suggest to the headquarters
Not to close down Nouveau. I feel the same with all of you. I don’t want Nouveau to stop publishing. As a publisher, if I’m able to revive Nouveau, that would be a significant achievement. The headquarters would give me better opportunities. The more difficult this is, the higher the stakes. I know
Some of you have strong attachments to Nouveau. You might not trust me. I must say, your distrust towards me isn’t beneficial to this company or anyone else. Hence, I hope everyone will stay. I’m pretty confident about this. By the way, I’m Shen Si Yi. It’s not closing down? Kang. You must be frightened.
You’re still so playful. You’ve gotten prettier. You’ve gotten older. Come here. I missed you. [Sugar Bar] Mr Gao. You’re here. -This one is alcohol-free. -Thanks. Thanks, Mr Gao. Call me if you need anything. You were sent to handle the closing of the company. You decided to reopen it instead. You’re directly opposing
The headquarters and the board. I hate waiting around. I’m all for the fight. If I could revive Nouveau, that means I seized the opportunity on my own rightfully. Are you 100 percent sure about this? No, success comes from taking risks. Have you ever heard of that? You’re being ridiculous.
You’re giving yourself unnecessary trouble. If you weren’t my intern when you first joined the organisation, I wouldn’t care less. Do whatever you want. Do you not care? What about the cookies I brought from London? This wouldn’t work. Does it taste good? Not at all. Fine. Given that I do not oppose your idea,
What is your plan? I already found a partner. If she’s willing to do it with me, this project will succeed. Who is it? Is she that impressive? What did she do? Did she steal your boyfriend? For real? Cheng Nan is such a… It’s not Cheng Nan. Back in high school…
It’s a long story. There are still things I don’t know about you? Tell me. Back in high school, I had something going on with a guy. Shen Si Yi… It didn’t end well. We broke up. I did it for her sake. That guy’s results were so bad,
He only made it to junior college. He even tried to convince Lu Ke to give up her ambitions for him. Lu Ke could have made it to Fudan University. I was very concerned. You’re too nosy. What happens then? I kissed that guy. What did you do? I kissed the guy. It worked, though.
Both of them broke up. Lu Ke made it to Shanghai. She should thank me for that. What happened next? Her family sent her to study abroad. Then we lost contact. Do you plan to stay at the company and work with her? I don’t know. It seems you’ve offended her big time.
Will she help you? Have a little faith in me. All right. What do you think? Do I look cool? Pretty cool. You don’t have a job. How do you afford this? Did you ask your parents for this? I made my own money. Did you find a job? I won an award.
Do you remember the Youth Design Competition half a year ago? They called me today. I won the second prize. 30,000 yuan. Really? Congratulations, Guan Xiao Yue! Yes, that’s why I rewarded myself with a bike. I’m encouraging myself. I’ve finally debuted as an independent designer. Does that mean you can open your own studio?
Besides, a design agency approached me today with the intention of buying my design and commercialising it. I’m at the pinnacle of life right now. I’m not used to it. You will get used to it after a few more pinnacles. I’ll be off then. Take care. -Drive safe. -Goodbye.
[The important task of reviving Nouveau] [A friend request from Shen Si Yi: Nouveau’s revival depends on us.] [lies on our shoulders.] [“Look.”] [Don’t you think this name] [is pretty old fashioned?] [Look] [Look. Lu Ke.] [It’s your name.] [It isn’t old fashioned at all.] [What do you think]
[we should do for our first theme?] [“Look” means] [to observe our daily lives.] [For the first issue, we will write about] [things most meaningful yet] [easily overlooked in life.] [It’s my forte.] [Don’t you think it’s similar to Nouveau’s concept?] [Nouveau is nothing.] [Your writing] [along with my talents,] [Look will surpass Nouveau]
[in many ways.] [Let’s begin with the first issue.] Hello, Cheng Nan. Xiao Ke, why aren’t you home yet? Did you forget your umbrella? Do you need me to pick you up? It’s fine. I’m almost home. By the way, do we still have vermicelli noodles at home? [Are you hungry?] Not yet.
I’m working overtime on a proposal tonight. [Okay, sure.] [I’ll get it done.] [Isn’t the company closing down?] Perhaps there’s still hope. Ms Lu, where are the coffee beans? Where are the coffee beans? Shen Si Yi. Do you mean what you said yesterday? Of course. Good. I drafted a proposal for reissue.
It’s the one Song Yan sent to you. Have you seen it? Check out my proposal first. Your proposal is alright. You did not mention the details of the content. Yes. Your proposal included hosting live events and collaborations with designers. It’s pointless. How is my proposal pointless? How can we afford that?
Your detailed content is meaningless without an overall concept as the framework. It treats the symptoms, not the root. My proposal solves the problem at its roots. Due to our past, it may be hard to work together. As for this matter, you get to choose if you want to do this.
We each have five vetoes. Just like back then. Alright. Five vetoes. [Today’s headlines] Hang on. Look, you can’t do this. The idea is completely wrong. Why is it wrong? This has three branches originally. Please list it down clearly. Okay, listen to me. There should be three branches, but now there’s only two.
[How to do new media? 1. Vetting, 2. Segmentation, 3. Platform selection] This isn’t a service account. Shen Si Yi, check it out. Since it’s new media, it has to be different from the magazine. Post entertainment or current events on the public account. But that’s sensationalism. I disagree. This is inconsistent with Nouveau’s values.
At this point, you’re still trying to push values? Nouveau’s values are leading-edge, independent, authentic, and respect for art. -If you… -Forget about ideals. We’re discussing ways to increase sales. Publishing articles about current events or hot topics will always attract attention. It’s been consistently proven to work. We have to do it.
What about the readers’ feelings? If you change it this way, the readers would be uncomfortable. You’re uncomfortable. You need to listen to me about this. I’m using my veto. I’ll use mine too. You will use a veto again. We each have five chances. In the end, my idea wins. Shen Si Yi. Honestly,
Our goals are completely different. I want to better Nouveau, while you just want to use Nouveau as a tool for you to make money. Am I right? It was obviously her fault. She left angrily in the end. You have no idea how unreasonable she was. She’s exactly the same as she was before.
You can always quit. You will only get more upset. You’re right. If she pushes me over the edge, I’ll quit for real. Ke Ke texted me a few days ago. She asked if I’d like to join her. She’s reserved an opening for me. Why should I
-put up with her? -Yes. I support you. I’m just saying. You’re still reluctant to leave. [Look] [Shen Si Yi] Cheng Nan, stop the vehicle. -Stop the bike. -By the roadside? Where did you find it? [In the data room on the second floor.] [I went straight for it on my first day.]
Why did you do that? I wanted to tell you you’re not the only one who’s attached to Nouveau. If all I cared about was benefits, I wouldn’t cast aside better opportunities and insist on reviving the company in Shanghai. It’s draining and uncertain. [In my position,] [there are things I can’t compromise.]
[I don’t like it either,] [but I have no choice.] This partnership is our second chance. I don’t want to miss it again. Where are you? I’m hungry. Let’s go to the noodle house opposite the office. Who said I was coming? [Look] [Hidden in the Shadows] When was this posted? Year 2007.
It has been ten years. Time flies. Look. What is this? [Greetings, editors of Nouveau.] [The quality of recent issues have deteriorated.] “Greetings,” “Nouveau editors.” “We are high schoolers from Suzhou,” “Lu Ke and Shen Si Yi.” “We’re long time fans of Nouveau.” “But we realised the quality of recent issues have deteriorated.”
“We’re very disappointed.” “We’ve attached our own publication, Look,” “to encourage you to do better.” My goodness. Two high schoolers gave the editors of Nouveau a lecture. We were brazen. You wrote the letter. I bet it was your idea. I wouldn’t be able to come up with something like this. We probably
Figured it out together. Back in high school, we discussed and thought out everything together. Look… I was a little too harsh on you. I’m sorry. It’s fine. Your objections were reasonable. Back in high school, we founded Look, but it failed in the end. I’ve been burdened by regret ever since.
I’m very sorry too. When this opportunity came out, I returned immediately. I hope we can work well together. Let’s atone for our past regrets. Our Nouveau can only rely on the both of us. Hello. You’ve been talking for half an hour. Would you like to order? I’m sorry. We’ll order soon.
Are you hungry? I’m not hungry. You said you were hungry. Excuse me. We’re not hungry anymore. Let’s go. -Sorry. -Please excuse us. Please excuse us. You haven’t changed over the years. Do you have a boyfriend? Yes. Does he treat you well? Pretty well. We were classmates in university.
I feel like he is the one. What about you? I don’t have one. Being in a relationship is a hassle. You haven’t changed after all these years. Maybe it’s for the best. You might hurt other people. This is considered charity then. What are you saying? Slow down. Be careful.
It has been a week since the revival was announced. There is no news. Weren’t Lu Ke and Shen Si Yi working on the proposal? Don’t get your hopes up. The higher-ups would never agree to this. I don’t want the company to close down. If a great magazine like Nouveau shuts down,
It’s over for this industry. Ke Ke. Ke Ke. We were just talking about this. How’s the revival coming along? We just completed the proposal and submitted it to the organisation. Do you guys want to check it out? [2017 Proposal for Nouveau’s Revival and Adoption of New Media] Here.
This is the general business idea. This is the major framework. This is highly related to our department. Hello, Ke Ke here. I’m sorry. I was busy just now. It slipped my mind. Yes. I’m not transferring over. Thank you. See you. Who’s scouting you? An ex-employee of Nouveau. She went to Youjia.
You shouldn’t reject her so quickly. I’m not transferring. I shouldn’t let her wait. You need to know that the headquarters call the shots. Everything we’re doing right now is just raising our hopes. There’s no guarantee it’ll work. Hence, you shouldn’t have rejected her so soon. Why are you so pessimistic?
What’s the matter? Are you not confident in our proposal? No. I’m just reminding you. Don’t worry. I know. By the way, Ms Liang read our proposal. She would like to meet us in a few days. Like I said, we need faith. Lu Ke. The model isn’t in the right state.
I’m sorry, but please wait a little longer. It’s fine. We’re from the same organisation. Don’t mention it. Thank you. Have a seat first. We will be done in a minute. Okay. Yes. Fix the model’s hair over there. We can’t edit it out. It’s too puffy. Also, decrease the brightness a little.
This area looks very obvious. -The contrast is going to be huge. -Ms An. Didn’t you do a cover shoot last week? -Why are you doing it again? -This isn’t for the cover. It’s for the public account. New Sight is adopting new media too? Yes. We got a new publisher. It was her idea.
Who’s the new publisher? You know her. Shen Si Yi. -Yes. -Shen Si Yi? Adjust this area as well. That’s… That’s impossible. She was working with us… Previously, Nouveau was ceasing publications. Shen Si Yi came up with a proposal to pivot to new media. Ms Liang was very pleased.
She wants New Sight to pilot it, so she employed her as our new publisher. Okay. Smoothen her hair out. Her hair. Yes. Can I look at the proposal, Ms An? -The proposal. -Proposal? Okay. [2017 Proposal for Nouveau’s Revival and Adoption of New Media] Shen… Shen Si Yi. What’s going on?
Are you keeping anything from me? What is it? I went to the studio today and met Ms An from New Sight. Get back to work first. We will talk later. Okay. Ms An told me you’re leading the restructuring as their publisher. Listen to my explanation. This isn’t decided yet.
I’m still figuring out a way -to reject them. -What about the proposal? What do you mean? Our proposal. Both of us came up with the proposal together. Without any changes, the proposal became someone else’s. I saw it with my own eyes, Shen Si Yi. I’m not sure about that. I was wondering why
You’d advise me to preserve a backup plan. You were paving the way. You had your backup plan all covered. No. I was worried the magazine would fail to make a comeback. I was doing it for your sake. I had no idea about the proposal. Ms Liang probably used the proposal without informing… Probably?
Shen Si Yi, I can’t believe I trusted you again. You said you were attached to Nouveau. You said you want to make up for our past together. You sure are something. Lu Ke. I don’t want to go to New Sight. I did not give the proposal to anyone. No matter what it is,
Ms Liang is coming to Nouveau the day after tomorrow. We need to convince her on that day. This is our last chance to revive Nouveau. Lu Ke. If you don’t trust me, we’ll never have the chance again. I was such a fool. How could I trust her again?
-Listen to me. Stop drinking. -Shen Si Yi has always been selfish. Yes, she has always been selfish. I know her too well. I think if she is just as you described, why would you give her another chance to lie again? You’re right. [Hold on.] [Give me your homework.] [I’m sorry.] [It’s my fault.]
[Your Nouveau issue was confiscated, right?] [It’s fine.] [I have another one.] [I’ll give it to you after school.] Cheng Nan. We were classmates in university. Before meeting you, Shen Si Yi was the most important person in my life. [What’s going on?] [Don’t tease him.] [Go for it.] [Don’t be shy.]
[Come on. Go ahead.] [In light of the school magazine’s editorial team,] [Look] [namely Shen Si Yi and Han Huai of Class 3, Senior Year 3’s] [violation of school rules] [and its subsequent impact,] [the school has decided to punish them] [by suspending “Look” magazine] [of all activities including publication.]
[This shall serve as a warning.] [I heard they were punished.] [Really?] [Oh my gosh.] [Did you forget your umbrella?] [I’m sorry.] [I didn’t expect things to turn out this way.] [I don’t think he’s good enough for you.] [Don’t touch me!] [Because of you,] [Look is gone. Everyone’s hard work is gone.]
[Stop lying to me.] [I wasn’t lying.] [I have no feelings for him.] [If you get together with him,] [he will influence you.] [Why can’t you] [tell me directly then?] [I’m sorry.] [I was wrong. Is that good enough?] [What’s the point?] [What’s the point in apologising?] [I was wrong about you.] [From now on,]
[we’re no longer friends.] Not long after that, she went to study abroad. The both of us lost contact then. You were pretty heartless. The way I see it, she’d always been protective of you no matter what happened. This is the first time she’s opposing you. You might be right. I think I understand
Why you’re willing to be cheated a second time. Because you know she wasn’t lying the first time. But did it occur to you that Shen Si Yi isn’t lying this time, either? Perhaps there was a misunderstanding. Should I… Should I still trust her? You need to ask yourself.
Nobody can answer that question for you. [Nouveau] Ms Shen. Okay. Let’s begin. Ms Liang. Let’s begin. Let me clarify first. The editor, Lu Ke, and I worked on the proposal together. She contributed greatly to this proposal. She can’t show up today due to personal reasons. I’ll speak on her behalf. Si Yi.
I think your plan is great. Otherwise, I wouldn’t allow New Sight to try it out. Why didn’t you inform me before giving this proposal to someone else? Nouveau has decided to cease all publications. You shouldn’t hesitate. Ms Liang, I think… That’s enough. You’re struggling alone. I feel exhausted for you. I’m not alone.
Ms Liang. She isn’t alone. I’m Lu Ke. I’m sorry. I’m late. Cheers to our collaboration. [In the next episode] It’s a conceptual somatosensory experiment. It’s very interesting. Work on this for the first issue. -It will be a hit. -Who is this? My friend, Shen Si Yi. I’ve seen her in an exhibition before.
Shen Si Yi is different from the other girls you know. I’m not interested in you. I’ll ask again tomorrow. I’m caught in the middle. Am I not your best friend? You’re so immature! Sure, I am immature. Don’t you know by now?
