Moonlight Episode 22 Recap
> Moonlight Recap
Chu Li and Zhou Chuan felt very awkward together. Zhou Chuan chose to intern with Chu Li, and A Xiang even proactively gave up her seat, but Chu Li stopped her. Yu Yao told them to take good care of Zhou Chuan. Zhou Chuan sat across from A Xiang and occasionally spoke to Chu Li. Chu Li gave Zhou Chuan a task to receive a submitter.
Zhou Chuan refused to go, but after Chu Li retorted a few times, he had no choice but to agree. Yu Yao called Chu Li to the office. Director Liang made a big deal out of the Yunfei matter and suggested delaying Jiang Yucheng's cooperation, letting Lao Miao's two cosplayers publish their autobiographies first. Chu Li was anxious; Jiang Yucheng couldn't afford to wait at all. Yu Yao sighed.
They needed to find a way to show confidence to distributors and higher-ups. Chu Li remembered one night when Zhou Chuan was reading Jiang Yucheng's serial novel "The Lost Amusement Park". She suggested that Jiang Yucheng hold a book signing event because he had never appeared in public. Yu Yao thought this was a good idea. Zhou Chuan was receiving a submitter at the reception area, but the person got angry. Chu Li quickly rushed over to help.
It was lunchtime. Yu Yao and others wanted to invite him to eat together. Zhou Chuan refused, saying he had a date with his girlfriend, and asked Chu Li to take him to find a restaurant. As soon as Zhou Chuan left Moonlight, he wanted to hold hands, but Chu Li instinctively slapped his hand away, saying there were many familiar people here and they couldn't have physical contact. Chu Li said she also had field work to do.
Zhou Chuan insisted on following her persistently, so Chu Li had no choice but to take him along. Chu Li met with Jiang Yucheng to talk about work, asking him if he was interested in holding a lecture to build momentum for "The Lost Amusement Park". Jiang Yucheng found it a bit troublesome. Chu Li struggled to express that this time was really important and hoped Jiang Yucheng could consider it.
Zhou Chuan also said that some sacrifice was necessary for sales to return to their peak. Zhou Chuan noticed that the editorial department was being tripped up. Chu Li admitted that they had to build momentum for Jiang Yucheng in advance this time, but Zhou Chuan said that Jiang Yucheng was similar to him in some ways and wasn't very willing to do these things.
Zhou Chuan childishly held Chu Li's hand, and the two went back to the company playfully. In the evening, Chu Li asked Jiang Yucheng how his consideration was going. Jiang Yucheng unexpectedly agreed. Chu Li was overjoyed, but Zhou Chuan warned her to also pay attention to himself. Chu Li was speechless. The next day, Zhou Chuan accompanied Jiang Yucheng shopping for formal wear.
Talking about Gu Baizhi, Zhou Chuan asked him what position he truly put Gu Baizhi in, fearing that if old feelings rekindled, old events might repeat themselves. The lecture was held at Jiang Yucheng's bookstore. Chu Li and Zhou Chuan had already prepared everything. Gu Baizhi was trapped in the underground parking garage by Yunfei's readers. When Yunfei found out, he quickly called Jiang Yucheng.
Since he was out of town and couldn't return, he could only think of Jiang Yucheng. Gu Baizhi was surrounded by a group of fans demanding justice. Jiang Yucheng rushed over but was injured by those readers instead. Jiang Yucheng was late in arriving. When they finally managed to get through on the phone, it was Gu Baizhi who answered. Learning that Jiang Yucheng was in the hospital, Zhou Chuan rushed there and told Chu Li to control the scene.
Jiang Yucheng was anxious to go to the scene but was stopped by the doctor. Gu Baizhi accidentally revealed that Moonlight had postponed Jiang Yucheng's publishing plan, and Zhou Chuan couldn't stop her in time. Gu Baizhi contacted Director Lu, wanting to introduce "The Lost Amusement Park" to him. Jiang Yucheng's readers specially ordered a silk banner. The fans who attended today were very understanding after seeing Moonlight's explanation. This crisis management was very successful.
However, Jiang Yucheng wanted Chu Li to be honest and asked if this lecture was meant to ensure "The Lost Amusement Park" could be published normally. Jiang Yucheng decided to terminate his contract with Moonlight because he was an outdated writer who had fallen from the top of the pyramid, so he had done many things he didn't want to do. " The Lost Amusement Park" was his last remaining confidence. Moonlight had no confidence in his work.
Jiang Yucheng knew this in his heart, and Chu Li couldn't refute it. Zhou Chuan explained that Jiang Yucheng was an even prouder person than he was, but Chu Li didn't give up and declared that she would publish Jiang Yucheng's book. Zhou Chuan gave Chu Li an idea: recommend "The Lost Amusement Park" to a major director, and the agency would definitely publish it. For this, Zhou Chuan and Chu Li arranged to meet with Gu Baizhi.
However, Gu Baizhi sent Zhou Chuan away and wanted to talk to Chu Li alone. Lao Miao's two cosplayers were going to publish autobiographies and came to show off in front of Chu Li. Chu Li didn't say a word. Chu Li begged Editor-in-Chief Xia for one more day. Editor-in-Chief Xia decided to find an excuse to delay until tomorrow afternoon.
Zhou Chuan relayed a message from Chu Li to Jiang Yucheng: she would use one day to get "The Lost Amusement Park" published normally, and if she couldn't, she would accept Jiang Yucheng's contract termination without regret. Jiang Yucheng agreed to wait for her. Gu Baizhi came to pick up Chu Li. The two of them took "The Lost Amusement Park" to the airport to meet Director Lu, but unexpectedly Director Lu changed his flight again.
They had no choice but to drive to Linzhou. On the way, Gu Baizhi's car suddenly had a flat tire. The two quickly changed the spare tire on the roadside. Unexpectedly, before they even arrived, Director Lu had already passed security check, and everything was too late. The next day, Jiang Yucheng came to Moonlight to discuss terminating his contract, but unexpectedly met Director Lu.
The two officially signed the film and television copyright, so the leaders decided to prioritize the publication of "The Lost Amusement Park". Chu Li once again delivered a painful counterattack to Lao Miao.
