Bromance 愛上哥們 Show Biz Episode 16 Behind the Scenes Translations

I was just going to translate a tiny snippet...but then I found lots of snippets I liked, so I decided to give this its own post (though I'm not translating everything in this video...just the snippets of Megan and Baron that I like...with tiny interactions including both Bii and Eddison). All the translations probably total to about 5- 8 minutes of translations...so enough for a post of its own, I guess!


1. Running the lines for when Han Sheng tells Zifeng he's disgusted by him [From 0:25 - 0:36]
Edison, as Han Sheng, coldly: I feel disgusted
Baron can't help but cover his mouth and laugh and Edison turns to confirm with the director who is instructing him
Edison: Oh, I know...
The Director gives an example of what he wants.
Director yells out: I FEEL DISGUSTED!
Megan, Baron and Edison bursts out laughing at the Director being Han Sheng



-Cuts to Baron pretending to act like a kid throwing a tantrum at being called disgusting-
Baron in an upset, silly kiddy voice because of Han Sheng: You called me disgusting!!!



Megan is trying to comfort him jokingly.
Baron repeats the same line in the same voice: You called me disgusting!!!



Megan, laughing and desperately trying to calm him down while patting his back soothingly: You're not! You're not!
Megan laughing and still patting: You just calm down now...
---Hahaha, it reminds me of how every time she bumps her head or gets hurt, he'll come over, hug her and call her baby. I don't even like it when people use the word 'baby' as a pet name...but somehow when these two do it, it seems right...---



2. Megan and Edison running their lines for the scene where Yanuo shouts at Han Sheng on behalf of Zifeng [From 0:40 - 1:30]
Megan, running her lines as Yanuo: Wu Han Sheng
Megan, as Yanuo: Zifeng treats you like his brother
Megan, as Yanuo: As his own family member
Baron and Edison are suppose to be glaring at each other, but are both grinning at each other instead, both having a hard time keeping serious in character.



Megan, as Yanuo: Even if your suspicion is the greatest, he still hasn't put the blame on you
Edison, as Han Sheng: Whatever he says, you'll just believe


Edison, as Han Sheng: Are you that easy to fool, Pi Yanuo?
Edison is using his new loud, shouty voice as requested by the Director which makes Baron and Megan laugh.


Megan jokingly lunges out to punch Edison, making Edison and Baron laugh
Baron's laugh turns into a heckling, silly laugh which makes the Director swear jokingly.



[Red caption on director: Censored]
Baron covers his mouth laughing. Megan, Edison and the Director laugh.



-Cuts to Baron, Megan and Edison practicing the scene again-
Baron turning to Megan and grabbing her hand [Pink caption]: We'll just hold hands
---This, by the way, I'm preeetty sure is not in the script...Due to everyone's kind of surprised faces. Doesn't Baron look like he's smirking with satisfaction since Megan gives in to him as usual?---



Edison, as Han Sheng: Whatever he says, you'll just believe
Edison, as Han Sheng: Are you that easy to fool, Pi Yanuo?
The camera has gone around to show that Baron and Megan are holding hands
Megan starts acting girly and hitting Edison with her script: You!
She laughs and turns towards Baron, who puts an arm around Megan protectively, as if to say to Edison, "Back off Han Sheng" 
---Hahahaha. These two are just too cute---



Director: This one (move) you better not do
---These two want to be acting as a couple even when the Director doesn't want them to. Also it looks like they're still holding hands at the end of that take though there's no requirement to...---



-Cuts to another take of Baron, Megan and Edison practicing the scene-
Edison, as Han Sheng: Aren't you too easy to fool, Pi Yanuo?
Megan, as Yanuo, takes a step forward with a cool glare towards Edison, as Han Sheng.


And then she uses her character of 'cool' Yanuo to act silly.
Megan, pretending to be angry, cool Yanuo: Don't you block me. Or I'll take you on.


Megan pretends to be Yanuo punching Han Sheng.
She packs on a pretend punch and then punches continuously a few times.
The shot ends with Megan holding a cool, fighting expression


-Cuts to Baron, Megan and Edison practicing again. This time shot from a front angle-
After saying her lines, Megan, as Yanuo, lunges at Edison, as Han Sheng.
Baron, as Zifeng, puts out an arm to stop her.
Baron laughs and retorts, jokingly: Do you want to kiss (him), is that it?



Megan laughs: It looks good!
Director laughs: You only have to start moving and he just pulls you back. Good, good, good...
---The Director is talking to Megan in that last line. This whole sequence makes me laugh. And while I'm a reasonable shipper and try not to be too delusional, I wonder if that was Zifeng pulling her back or Baron...?---



3. Baron, Megan and Director joking around, Baron singing about Megan's, er, backside and the two of them fooling around for the scene where they're faced with Han Sheng's Gangsters [From 1:48 - 3:51]
Baron steps forward and making a joke, says in mock seriousness: Sorry to trouble you, but excuse me...
Baron: I have something to say to him
Megan bursts out laughing
Director: Actually that's still good...(mutters) Not hard to do...
Baron suddenly taps Megan on the arm and points towards the front direction. Megan looks lost.



Baron, laughs, and says jokingly [Red caption]: Call him over
The Director bursts out laughing and Megan grins, pretending to act as Zifeng's lackey. She nods and bows and pretends to run over to get Han Sheng.



Director, laughing: No..
Baron, still joking, points at Megan: I already (see they) aim to have guns...do they?
The Director calls Megan over and Megan stands next to him.
Director, joining in on the joke: And then, (do this)...
He pushes Megan forward, and out of the screen, as if making her the guinea pig to see if Han Sheng has guns.
The Director and Baron burst out laughing.



Megan jokes in a small voice: I'll turn my head back for one last look
The camera pans to Megan with a sad face looking back.



Baron: And then I'll also use my gaze to confirm
Baron makes a very silly, exaggerated, steely, open-eyed gaze towards Megan.
Upon seeing Baron's expression, which the camera zooms in on, Megan bursts out laughing.



-Cuts to Megan bending over stretching and Baron just chilling beside her-
Reporter: Hey, you're stretching now because...?
Baron: In a moment, (we) have to do all sorts of crazy things
Reporters laugh:...No...Isn't it because it's cold?



-Cuts to Reporters filming Megan from behind while she's bent down-
So, er, kind of filming her ass and legs? These reporters can be so weird.
Anyway, Megan's bent over and looking at the camera from between her legs.
Reporter: Can (you) see Pi Yanuo?
Reporter: Haven't see her
Reporter: Look how flexible and energetic she is
Reporter: (She) Really is very flexible and energetic

-Cuts to a filming of the reporter filming Megan from behind at her legs...and Baron coming over to see for himself-
Baron crouches down to where the reporter is, also looking at the same view.


Megan shoots up as soon as she sees Baron in her view
---Hahahaha, she's thinking, why did I just see you there?! Are you checking out my ass?! Which by the way, he totally was---
Megan, now fully aware and a little embarrassed, says to reporter laughing: Why are you filming (in) this type of strange area?!
Baron taps on the reporter's arm and points to Megan: You film and I'll sing
Reporter: Ok, Ok...
Megan confused: What?
Baron starts singing 'Chrysanthemum,' the Jay Chou (version of the) song.
---Two things to explain here: chrysanthemum is slang for 'ass.' So he's singing about her ass...Baron you naughty, x-rated man ;) You may also wonder why Baron tends to break into Jay Chou songs... if you didn't know this already, he's featured in a couple of Jay Chou's music videos in the past...I'm surprised he's not doing Jay Chou's eyes again...hahaha....But yes, some fun facts for you---
Baron singing: ...Wilted chrysanthemums are spread across the floor...
He gets up slowly and dramatically, still singing...


Baron: Your...Ugh!...
...Only to be poked by Megan who is laughing as she gets him in the stomach. Revenge, no doubt, for singing about her ass as she totally gets the reference as soon as he opens his mouth. Baron is laughing and Megan too.
Megan, laughs: You're so annoying!
Reporter: We were looking at her flexibility and energy, la!
Edison: Looking at this in the future, won't you see ghosts? ...(Your) Chrysanthemum (your ass)? ---Confusing sentence, but I think he means won't you be haunted by images of your ass on screen---
Megan: Chrysanthemums, like this..
Edison: Didn't you guys say (you were) looking down like this?...


Baron who has been standing somewhat in the middle the whole time, breaks out into the 'Chrysanthemum' song again.
[Red caption pointing to Baron: Still wants to sing]
Baron singing: My chrysanthemum...Endlessly brings pain...
Megan and Edison start laughing.
---I'm sure he's either screwed up the lyrics or making them up, because it's not in the original song lyrics anywhere...---


Baron does a turn around Megan...going behind her...


Baron still singing: Touching her small chrysanthemum...


---Well, that's definitely not in the song...----


Baron is right behind Megan and starts lifting her coat to get to her ass.
---He looks like he's reaaaalllly enjoying this...---


Megan, who was completely unaware, catches on and gets a shock!


She swerves around to yelp [Black and red caption]: You're so annoying!
Baron drifts away, his hands still up...Megan can't help but laugh and the reporters are laughing hard.
---HAHAHAHA. No kidding, he sang that line and actually went there. So damn naughty. Oh, Baron. You just wanted to touch her, didn't you?---


Edison isn't really looking..
---Is he not looking because hey, this would be normal off-screen...?! Ok, I'm not delusional. But I do have to question these actions. Baron is the king of the x-rated activities---

-Cuts to Megan, Baron and Edison standing around talking-
Edison: Since Yanuo is a female...she should...
Edison looks like he's pretending to rip open his top from his chest.
Edison, laughs: Fish out, from the inside, two boiled dumpling pads
---I think he means chicken fillets? Or whatever you call those things girls use to prop up their chests for dresses etc---
[Red caption: Exasperation lines on Megan's head]
Megan, Baron and Edison laugh.


-Cuts to Baron standing in between them both joking-
Baron: Little brothers also have to know
Baron pretends to hold invisible dumpling pads up as a threat: It's already been a year since I washed them...
Edison and Megan are laughing
Baron has a really serious face on
[Red caption: Really serious]
Baron, still harping on: Hidden for 25 years
Megan starts laughing hardcore
Baron edges closer and talks louder: Dare to sniff and see?
Baron laughs.

-Cuts to Baron standing in between Megan and Edison again, tucking in his shirt-
Baron starts up on that joke again with the dumpling pads
Baron, holding up visible dumpling pads and pretending they're a threat: It's already turned into fried dumplings!


The reporters burst out laughing with Megan and Edison both grinning.
Baron grinning at Megan: From boiled dumpling to becoming fried dumplings...
---Not that I'm looking specifically...but those pants are pretty tight...---


-Cuts to just Megan and Baron with Baron getting even more into the dumpling pad joke-
Baron, makes a joking threat, pointing his fingers: If I throw two fried dumplings, you guys would be scared!
[Blue thinking bubble caption from Megan: Unexpectedly still hasn't finished]
Baron, threatening as a joke: Eat those fried dumplings!


Megan says something jokingly which I don't catch.
Baron, pointing and still making the same threat: Eat those fried dumplings!

-Cuts to Baron imitating the little brothers-
The reporters laugh.
Baron, with a grin: And then the little bros..


He chuckles and then pretends to be a gangster, looking brawny and confused at what to do with an invisible gun in his hand.


Megan: Hey, you laughed!
He goes back to pretending

-Cuts to Director instructing the group of gangsters, the little bros-
Director: Retreat backwards
Director: And then the little bros, you come in front of him
Director: Correct. Grab him
Megan and Baron start calling out at the same time
---Man, they even think the same!---
Megan: Really very cowardly!
Baron: It's very weird!
Megan looks at Baron, before shaking her head
Megan: This way is very cowardly
Director calling back: He is just like this!



-Cuts to the Director facing Megan and Baron, with Edison and the gangsters standing behind-
Megan shouts jokingly with a finger pointing at Edison: I look down on you!
Baron, makes a joke, whilst grabbing Megan's arm: Just which leader of the triads are you?
[Red caption on Baron: Censored]
Baron starts dragging Megan backwards by the arm along with him, acting as if they'd make their grand escape this way whilst bad-mouthing Han Sheng. Megan is laughing pretty hard.
Baron, points at Edison with the arm that's not holding Megan: I scold/ speak out against you!
Baron, edging away dragging a laughing Megan by his side: Have guts!



[Red caption: Censored]
Baron still jokingly backing away and pointing at Edison: Next time if you have guts then don't...
Baron: I'm telling you...
Baron, turns, pretending to run away. Megan plays along with Baron's joke and also turns, pretending run away with him.
The Director laughs at their joke. Megan and Baron turn and run back again to where the rest of the crew are, laughing.
Director, scolds them lightly: Be a bit more serious!
---Hahaha, it's clear that he enjoyed the joke though he needed to get the scenes sorted---


---Then it goes into Commentary which I can't be stuffed translating...And so I'll just describe the scene. The commentary is recorded over Megan and Baron, so you can't tell what they're saying...---



Baron looks like he's joking with others about ways he could shield Pi Yanuo from Han Shen's bullets. He pulls out his coat as a shield in front of Megan...and Megan, being the girl, and a tall one at that, puts her head down onto his back to rely on his protection and to duck the bullets.


Megan grins as she gets up to say something...and then she does it again...


4. Megan, Baron and Edison predict how 'cool' Bii will walk into the room [From 4:04 - 4:28]
Baron: When Bii comes, his movements will definitely be (like this) 
Baron takes a few steps back and walks forwards coolly, hands in his pockets.



Baron: And then finally, when he's standing at the place where he's meant to be, it'll turn into this.
Baron folds his arms and stands with a bored 'cool' Bii expression
---Hahaha Baron really has Bii down right on that expression---


Megan, who has walked behind Baron chips in: No...standing when he's reached his place will definitely be like this... you're not wrong there
Megan: But...but..
Baron interrupts with something, not sure what he says
Megan: When he comes in, it'll be this...
Megan struts with her hands confidently out, swinging just a little


Baron: That is...his hands will be out...
Baron: I reckon he'll put his hands in his pockets
Edison chips in joking: If he can't get it right, he'll just stick them, behind his back
Megan laughs: Don't give him pants with pockets
Baron and Edison laugh


Baron continues joking: Even if Bii doesn't have pockets in his pants
Baron: He'll still do it himself
Baron demonstrates by hooking his hands into the top of his own pants.


Baron: He definitely will
Edison grins
Reporters, laughing [Blue caption]: Falsely sticking in his hands

5. How Bii actually walks into the room [From 4:37-5:00]
Director: All of you follow your boss
---Referring to Bii, of course---
Bii is grinning and looking sheepish while straightening his collar. He laughs



Director: Come
Director: 5,4,3,2...Walk
Bii strides down coolly with one hand in his pocket and the other casually swinging besides his body.


Megan, Director, Baron and Edison are laughing in the background with Megan cheering.
This makes Bii laugh self-consciously.


Crew member: You lost, you lost
Director: No one won!
Megan: No!
Bii, looking confused: What?
A crew member kindly comes over to whisper an explanation about Megan, Baron and Edison's bet on how he'd walk as 'cool' Qingyang. Bii bursts out laughing
Bii laughing: (You guys are) So annoying!



6. Baron's first NG for the scene where Qingyang arrives with back-up [From 5:24 - 5:30]
Bii, as Qingyang, walks in, followed by his team of gangsters to support Zifeng. Baron, as Zifeng, and Megan, as Yanuo, are standing there looking cool and glaring at Edison, as Han Sheng. Bii, as Qingyang, stands behind Baron, as Zifeng, in support. And then there's a long moment of silence.
Director [Red caption]: Zifeng?


Baron, who is still unaware that Bii has arrived, looks lost: Huh?
Director: You need to speak
Baron looks surprised: Oh!
He turns and sees Bii next to him
[Red caption: Alarm marks]
Baron, surprised, with a laugh: You've already arrived!
Megan laughs on the other side of him


7. Megan and Baron joke around and flirt as Bii works on the scene where Qingyang blocks Han Sheng from coming near Zifeng [From 6:04 - 6:54]
Edison, as Han Sheng, to walking towards Baron, as Zifeng
Edison, as Han Sheng: Du Zifeng!
Bii, as Qingyang, comes out to stop Han Sheng. Except he comes out too late and is really close to Edison when he comes to block him off. There's barely any room between his hand on Edison and his own body and looks awkward.
Edison, laughing: Too close!
Bii, laughing: I know, I know
Baron, Megan, Bii and Edison burst out laughing.


-Cuts to Baron looking like he's doing some moves-
Baron sweeps back: Being pushed (backwards)
The Director, Megan and the crew laugh.
Baron to Bii: You also waited
Bii: Right
Baron: That's why (it ended up like this), you see

-Cuts to a shot of Baron with Bii and Director still talking in the background-
Bii: It's was because of me
Baron: He was daydreaming, you see
Director: You have to get stirred up earlier
Bii: Ok, get stirred up earlier
Director: Come
Baron goes straight into his lines.
Baron, as Zifeng: It's not just a position
Baron, as Zifeng: It's also a type of responsibility
Director: Qingyang
Bii, as Qigyang, starts moving earlier this time before Edison, as Han Sheng, strides into the screen.
Bii, as Qingyang is pressing Edison, as Han Sheng. He's blocking him with a hand to the chest and staring intensely into his eyes. In the background, it's obvious that Baron is trying not to laugh.


[Red caption: Can't hold it in]


Bii as Qingyang: Han Bro


Director to Bii: You have to remember...
Director to Bii: This take is going to be sloooowwww....


The camera is following Baron who has stopped listening and turns to face Megan and grab her. It looks like it's on purpose and he's trying to pull her in for a kiss. What I think is happening is that he's indicating to Megan that it looks like Bii and Edison are going in for a kiss, something the two of them are wayyy too familiar with filming. Megan laughs. And both Baron and Megan share a laugh together when the Director tells Bii and Edison to slow down.


Director still talking in the background: And you have to be this way, Han Bro


Director still directing Bii and Edison: When he brings his head to turn slowly towards you...

-Cuts to a front view of this scene with the Director still instructing Bii and Edison-
Director to Bii: Lift up your head
Director: That line of line tells him...
Director: Beep! [Red caption: Censored]
Director to Bii: Ok. Don't move anymore.


Baron looks at Megan and they both start grinning and silent laughing.
Bii: That Qingyang, I've never done it (glared) so heavily


The camera goes over to Baron to is talking into it
Baron: Bii has to act that...Beep! [Red caption: Censored]


Baron points a finger and repeats the Director in a whisper cheekily: Don't move anymore!


8. Reporters asking Baron if Bii is more manly today in his role as 'cool' Qingyang [From 7:28 - 7:32]
Reporter: Is he a bit more manly this way?
Reporter: Does he seem more manly (acting) in this way today?
Baron looks jokingly thoughtful [Red caption]: I want to kiss him
They repeat this 3 times.
Baron: ...I feel


9. Megan talking about her and Bii's likeness on screen [From 7:46 - 8:32]
Megan is talking to the camera.
Megan: But they say looking from the front of the screen
Megan: (He) looks the same as me
Megan laughs: Don't know if (we) should be happy or upset, Bii
---The commentator says that this is the reason why Baron said he feels like kissing Bii...because Megan and Bii look alike! Hahaha---


10. Bii and Baron fighting and flirting and showing off their true Bromance [From 8:58 - 9:08]
Bii, Baron and Megan are standing around in their triad positions in between takes with Megan and Baron talking together and ganging up on Bii with their Du-Pi, second wife joke.


Megan, pretending to be Bii as angry Qingyang in a shrill voice: Apologize!
Baron starts laughing


Bii looks over to Baron: What is that?
Baron looking back at Bii: Nothing. No matter.
Baron: We were just talking between us (between him and Megan only)


Bii jokingly shoves Baron and he goes forward, pretending to stumble into the wall, making Megan laugh.


-Cuts to Bii suddenly attacking Baron with a hug-
Bii suddenly turns and throws his arms around an unsuspecting Baron, locking him in a hug
[Red caption: !!]
Baron looks to Megan for help, laughing


Bii, Baron and Megan laugh.


Baron's laugh turns into a fake cry at being assulted by his first wife, Qingyang...though he's still technically laughing!


---Ah, I love the old first wife, second wife, third wife joke that these guys have going on. If you have no idea what I mean, check out Kiraning's blog, Doramatic Realities, for earlier translations which explain this Zifeng's Harem joke---


11. Megan and Baron joking and flirting in between and during takes [From 11:38 - 12:23]
They're running the actions as their characters, but then start fooling around. Baron, as Zifeng, turns to leave and Megan, as Yanuo, standing besides him, has a grave look on her face as she stares out to where Han Sheng is standing. Baron, as Zifeng, bumps her lightly on the shoulder and she turns to look at him...
Baron, walking away: Hey, we're leaving
Megan looks down and then at Han Sheng, and then turns to join Zifeng slowly.
Baron, turns back and calls out casually: We're going dating


Megan starts running excitedly to join him and squeals a little.
They repeat this to show how she changes from slow, cool walking to excited, girly running to join him. Baron sees her besides him and he and Megan break out into a laugh.


Baron laughs so much he doubles up and covers his mouth.


-Cuts to Edison, Baron and Megan standing around in between takes with Baron and Megan making very kissy lips...almost like fish-
---Hahaha, my first thought when I saw this...you guys missing the big kissing sequences today? Smirk, smirk---


Baron starts leaning closer, slowly, towards Megan with his kissy lips


The camera zooms in on this. Megan doesn't move away, but is grinning and pointing in the opposite direction at Edison.


Megan, with a grin: You go kiss him
And she's grinning, unfazed. Baron leans a little closer still, but she points at Edison again.


Megan, with a grin: You go kiss him


Baron pretends to change directions and make a beeline for Edison. Megan laughs and Baron does too, seeing Edison back away.

-Cuts to Baron talking to Megan about Edison, with Edison in the conversation too-
Baron: That day, all the little bros saw him and were like "Whoaaa"
Baron makes a fan-girling hand with his hands cupping his face.
Megan laughs
Baron, laughing: And then he says, "Do it"
Baron, laughing and still in the fan-girl pose: "What are you guys still doing?"
Baron continues to pretend being one of the little bros on set making a fan-girl face at Edison.
Megan laughs and she joins in, making her own fan-girl hands
Megan steals one of her Pi Yanuo lines and says it in the same tone to be troll: Whoaa, this is too romantic!


She starts bobbing up and down excitedly, laughing.
Edison turns to the camera with a grin.
Baron laughs and taps her on the arm to get her to look at his even girlier pose
Baron: All the little bros have turned pink (in the face)
Megan laughs doubling up

-Cuts to Edison joining in on the fun-
Edison: The little bros, following closely, also kiss
Edison: That is, grabs onto their neighbours...
Megan: That is...
Baron has gone straight to Edison's side and holds onto him
Baron: They look at each other...


The Baron breaks out into the theme song that plays pretty much for most of his and Megan's romance scenes
Baron, singing: "...Some things don't require words..."
Edison starts laughing.

-Cuts into a moment between Baron and Megan where he comes over and grabs her by the shoulders-


---I can't be stuffed translating the commentary, so I'm just describing the scene...they look like they're talking, but the voice-over commentary means you can't hear what they're saying -__-;; ---


Baron has Megan by the shoulders and she turns to look at him.


He then leans in. She says something jokingly, pointing to the side, as if to ask him why he's not going to kiss Edison instead.


She's laughing and talking to him and he's rubbing her shoulders...


12. Megan and Baron filming the rain scene before they end up at the hotel in episode 16 [From 12:23 - 15:04]

To Be Continued...

  1. I'll definitely come back and make another comment once you are finished but for now, I just want to thank you so very much for taking the time to translate. I am more than grateful and feel pretty shameless for being limited to only typing those few words. I truly enjoy seeing these two muck around every episode and somehow keep me laughing with how well they get along and genuinely seem to care for one another. I love to see great working relationships on set, it makes the viewing that much richer.
    And honestly, I don't know how I am ever surprised by Baron's antics but seriously when he stooped to look between Megan's legs my head fell directly into my hand. I mean, I knew he was going to do it but I was still shocked when he actually did. The way Megan shot up when she saw him was priceless! Like "Wait! What's your face doing there?!"
