Chapter 1 - When I first met her

A boy was sitting at a railway station, saying "Maybe it was my upbringing that got me so interested in movies. I was born in Los Angeles and whenever I would walk back home from school, I would see a movie being produced. I've always loved watching movies and ever since I was a child, I've had a keen interest in writing stories. So I enrolled at the University of California in a film programme. But even though I graduated from there, I didn't get accepted anywhere. So I took the risk and came here to try to get accepted in Tencent Pictures but I failed. My stories weren't great enough. I am good at writing but I'm not good at thinking of stories. I got thrown out of my apartment moments ago so I have nowhere to stay but I can't go back to my home either because I went against my family's decision of becoming an accountant to come all the way here so they probably won't accept me..."

A woman's voice came from the side, saying "But why are you saying all of this to me?" and as the boy's face rotated towards the woman's face, the camera moved towards the woman, revealing an old woman.

The boy replied, "Am I boring you? I'm sorry. I just needed to rant about all of it. About all of the bad choices I made... You see, I regret most of the choices I've made, and moments ago, I was wishing to go back in time and re-doing my whole life... Wouldn't it be great if my life was like a movie?"

A girl, who was sitting in a seat opposite to his, says "Isn't it the choices we make in life that makes life so unique? You want your life to be like a movie but you also want to go back in time and choose the job of a boring old accountant? What kind of person are you? Failure can strike anyone at any time... But don't lose hope... Keep trying... You'll think of a good story someday..."

The boy said, "What you said sounded really forced... You seem to be experienced about failures..."

The girl froze for a second and then started chuckling and then replied "You hit the nail right in the spot... You're right... I am experienced about failures... I failed a job interview moments ago as well... I've always wanted to be a journalist... I think everyone has a story and I've always wanted to convey them... But... I'm bad at writing... So... My articles never get accepted... I've even lost my press card..."

The old woman stood up and in an annoyed voice, said "The girl can't write but has stories and you can write but you don't have stories. Why don't both of you just work together and stop talking about the hardships in your life in a public place?! My head is hurting from listening to both of you..." and she walked away.

Both of them looked at each other for a moment but then the girl went back to her seat and sat down and didn't look at the guy. Fifteen minutes passed like this but then the guy went up to the girl and said "Umm... You know... About what the lady said..." the girl said "Fine... Let's do it..."

The boy's face seemed to glow, and from his perspective, the girl seemed like an angel. But then the girl said "I won't give you any more than 10% of what I earn..." which broke the boy's heart but the guy said "How about 45%? I don't even have a place to live... How will I go on with 10% of what you earn?" to which, the girl replied, "What if I provide you with a place to live and 5% of what I earn?" to which the boy who was inexperienced in negotiations, replied "Okay!!"

The girl murmured, "What an easy person..." and then smiled at him gently.
