In this chapter, we learn that jingxu has fallen in love with linglongxie, and that she has lost contact with her friends after the incident with her grandfather. We learn that the two of them used to be good friends, but that they have since fallen out of touch. . The director tells us that if he had not won the award, he would still have been looking for jinxu. He says that at the time, he didn't want to associate with anyone who he did not know, and he also wouldn't have liked someone who was not from his social class. If he had joined his studio as xiaoran, they probably would have been in love, but he would have mistaken him for the murderer before, and then they would still meet. He also says that if mumu had not died, she would have joined the three of them together, and they would all be together now. He thinks that this is a great idea, as long as they are still the same person. He asks if the nominated actors can come on stage to perform, and the director says that his goal was to win back the award for best director from the beginning of the play. He is confident that he will win the award as well.
