The scene opens with Mingke, a member of the empire group, apologizing for bumping into Mingke. Mingke tells Mingke that he has been asked to withdraw money from the group's bank account once the film budget is finalized. Mingeke is curious about the project and asks Mingke if he has time to prepare the film, since the group is working with the Nangong family on a nonstop railway line in the east of the city. He is also curious about how Mingke fell in love with the girl, and Mingke says that he is tired of her, since she is "not important." Mingke then leaves to go to dinner with a young woman.
