Episode 12 recap: Wang Yutian's Life Insights and Reconciliation with Mediocrity.
The Senior University held a short video contest and Wang Yutian enthusiastically participated, intending to make a film titled "My Life." This time, she was the director and quickly began casting. However, those who came to audition were either shy little girls who refused to speak or nervously anxious young women, or overly confident middle-aged women with no real image. This made Wang Yutian lose interest in casting and decided to take on the role herself. Her daughter happened to play the middle-aged Wang Yutian, while her grandson dressed as a girl and played her childhood self.
Yang Defu had already seen through Wang Yutian's intentions and guessed that she wanted to play the role herself, but he didn't expect her grandson to cross-dress. Soon, Wang Yutian rented a photography studio for three hours, and while her grandson was putting on makeup, he refused to play the girl. However, Wang Yutian insisted, and her grandson had no choice but to comply. Lao Zhou was the cinematographer for this short video. He stumbled right at the beginning of the shoot and had limited mobility, so he borrowed Lao Wang's wheelchair and shot a scene where it was discovered that Lao Wang was a continuity error. He asked Lao Wang to leave, but the wheelchair was under his buttocks, so he couldn't walk away. He had to be dragged away by others.
Gao Cuilan was the makeup artist for this project. Due to concerns about her granddaughter coming home from school, she asked a friend to cover her shift. Unexpectedly, her friend turned out to be the confident middle-aged woman who had come for the audition. Wang Yutian couldn't help but feel a splitting headache. She convinced herself that as long as they could complete the shooting, it would be fine. In the end, the short film was completed with everyone's cooperation. It was only then that Lao Wang realized that they hadn't recorded any sound at all. Wang Yutian felt extremely helpless, but fortunately, the short film was smoothly edited, showcasing her three states of life and finally reconciling with mediocrity.
