Episode 20 recap: Tang Ding Ding encounters difficulties during filming.
Tang Yu learned that her mother had revealed her embarrassing incident to Tang Ding Ding. Taking advantage of Tang Xin's absence while rehearsing with Lu Zhi Xing, Tang Yu pulled her mother aside to question the reason. Unexpectedly, her mother explained with the walkie-talkie provided by Lu Zhi Xing, and everyone on the set came to know about Tang Yu's romantic relationship with Tang Xin, as well as the fact that he had over a thousand photos of her. Realizing the situation, Tang Yu felt helpless and quickly escorted her mother away from the set.
Tang Xin initially did not want to publicly announce her relationship with Tang Yu so soon, but fate had other plans. Tang Yu's mother's unintentional actions had already made everyone aware of the situation. Tang Xin knew that Lu Zhi Xing had previously set a rule against romantic relationships within the team, so she went to apologize to him. However, Lu Zhi Xing believed that she and Tang Yu were already together before joining the team, so it did not violate the rules. Instead, he felt guilty about the walkie-talkie incident and asked Tang Xin for help in retrieving it. Upon learning that Tang Yu had already sent her mother away, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Lu Zhu Ning joined the set today for a scene with Tang Ding Ding. Faced with the leading actress, Tang Ding Ding appeared lacking in confidence. Tang Xin used Tang Ding Ding's recent performances to encourage her and boost her confidence.
While Tang Ding Ding appeared confident on the surface, she still fell short in the presence of Lu Zhu Ning. She either forgot her lines or seemed stiff. Lu Zhi Xing grew increasingly impatient and decided to halt the production as the wind was picking up. Tang Ding Ding felt particularly down and sought help from Lu Zhu Ning to practice her lines. Lu Zhu Ning knew it was raining outside but didn't rush to leave. She had Tang Ding Ding sit across from her, looking directly into her eyes. At first, Tang Ding Ding nervously glanced at her but quickly averted her gaze. Lu Zhu Ning taught Tang Ding Ding to use both hands to pat her arms and relax her body. Eventually, Tang Ding Ding began to relax, and her performance gradually improved. After Lu Zhu Ning shared another method of relaxation, Tang Ding Ding was able to deliver her lines smoothly and convincingly. Lu Zhu Ning praised her without reservation, boosting Tang Ding Ding's confidence.
The following day, Tang Ding Ding passed the scene quickly. Tang Xin was delighted to see this and shared a lollipop from Jia Ming with Tang Ding Ding. Tang Ding Ding learned that Jia Ming bribed Lu Zhi Xing from a young age, which allowed her to make mistakes numerous times without being scolded by him. She kept this in mind and intentionally bought several bags of local Xiamen candies to give to Lu Zhi Xing, attentively peeling the candies for him.
Lu Zhi Xing was a bit puzzled, but the other crew members understood clearly. They reminded Lu Zhi Xing not to be too harsh on Tang Ding Ding, which was why she resorted to bribery.
Tomorrow there is a scene that requires Tang Ding Ding to do aerial stunts, but she has never done it before. Lu Zhi Xing is worried that Tang Ding Ding will be nervous, so he goes to greet her in advance. To his surprise, Tang Ding Ding loves activities like skiing and bungee jumping, so she is not nervous at all about being suspended three floors high. In fact, she is a little excited. She spends the night in her room rehearsing her lines, unaware that the room has poor soundproofing. This keeps Lu Zhi Xing awake until 2:30 a.m. When he finally goes to her room, he realizes how loud she was and tells her to go to sleep.
Lu Zhi Xing prepares for the shoot and has someone lift Tang Ding Ding up with the rigging. Tang Ding Ding realizes that this is quite different from playing around, and she looks a bit pale. After a few adjustments, she gets into the zone and they shoot for a while. Tang Ding Ding suddenly needs to use the restroom, but there is only one shot left to complete. The crew members request her cooperation, and Tang Ding Ding willingly agrees. As she is being lifted to the third floor, no one notices that the rope has started to come undone. Tang Ding Ding's performance is perfect this time, and everyone is captivated by her acting. As the rigging starts to descend with Tang Ding Ding, the rope suddenly breaks. Tang Ding Ding is terrified and instinctively grabs onto the railing with her hand. However, her grip is not strong enough, and her hand slowly slips down, leaving only one hand holding onto the railing. Tang Ding Ding cries out for help to Lu Zhi Xing, but he is not in his director's position at that moment.
In fact, as soon as Lu Zhi Xing saw the danger Tang Ding Ding was in, he quickly left his seat and climbed towards her. His hand got injured in the process due to his haste, and blood was flowing from the wound. Ignoring the pain, Lu Zhi Xing continues to climb towards Tang Ding Ding's direction. Finally, just as Tang Ding Ding is about to fall, he pulls her up.
Tang Ding Ding cries and clings tightly to Lu Zhi Xing, expressing her fear. Lu Zhi Xing tenderly wipes away the tears from her face, blaming himself for putting Tang Ding Ding in such a dangerous situation.
Deep down, Tang Ding Ding truly wants to become a shining actress, so this dangerous incident today will not make her retreat. Lu Zhi Xing watches Tang Ding Ding's determined efforts and can't help but use his injured hand to touch her hair, giving her encouragement.
