Lost Romance 浪漫输给你 Episode 12 Behind the Scenes Translations

I wish there were more bedroom scenes, but there is a Simon + Vivian scene, so I guess that's enough for me. Really only translating the important scenes and a few snippets this week :)


1. First run through of the scene after Xiao En slaps Chu Chu and leaves [0:05-0:15] 
Director To Vivian, as Xiao En: Go
Vivian sees Simon in her way and jokingly shoves him
Vivian to Simon [Red caption]: Beat it


Director, clutching Simon's arm, says both his line & action: Xiao En. You need to chase after her
Crew member to Marcus: You need to chase after her
Marcus: I go?
Crew member: No...
Marcus [Blue caption]: I will also go?
Director: No
Director to Marcus: You need to pull him. (And say) I'll go
Crew member to Marcus: You don't say you'll 'also' go...yeah
[Purple caption: A teaming up to indignantly tell off]


----Haha, by saying he'll also go, Aoran would not sounds like he's fighting Qing Feng for the girl. He just sounds like he's tagging along---
Simon laughs at Marcus. Everyone laughs
Director joking: I'll also go...because of him...

2. Everyone being a pouting Chu Chu, clinging onto a comforting Qing Feng [0:39 - 1:22]
Vivian, in a whimpering Chu Chu voice: It really hurts!
Snowbaby goes up to Vivian and Marcus and leaning on Marcus, whimpers: It really hurts!
Marcus walking away with a grin [Blue caption]: Qing Feng, ah~


Marcus goes up to Simon, who puts an arm around him. Vivian and Snowbaby laugh
Marcus: It really hurts!
[Orange caption: Style suddenly transformed naturally]
Simon with reassuring patting and proper Chinese accent: It'll be alright, it'll be alright
Crew member: Why...?
Vivian comes leans on the other side of Simon, whimpering: It really hurts!


Vivian laughs: Everyone around...
Snowbaby comes to huddle next Vivian and the group, whimpering: It really hurts!
Vivian and Snowbaby huddle up to Simon: It really hurts!
[Pink caption: An assembly of people fighting for Qing Feng's attention/favour]


Kiki and Pii are also coming to the group from Marcus' side
They huddle onto the group next to Marcus.
Everyone whimpering to Simon: It really hurts! It really hurts!


Simon: Behind the scene, there's a big explosion
Kiki who had put her hand across Marcus' chest laughs: It was very good to touch
They magnify where her hand was
[Pink caption: Steals a touch]
-Cuts to Marcus announcing to the camera-
Marcus to the camera [Blue caption]: Don't touch his back
Marcus to the camera [Orange caption]: His back has fire
Snowbaby: Have to hold onto his thigh!
Vivian, pretends to touch Simon's back [Red caption]: It's really hot!
Marcus joins in and pretends to touch and be burnt too
Marcus [Red caption]: It's really hot!


Vivian and Marcus [Red captions]: It's really hot! It's really hot! It's really hot!
-Cuts to a more coordinated version of what they were doing before-
They've decided to do a domino effect version of their movements
[Blue and Purple caption: Immediately continues staging a "It really hurts" Solitaire stack]
Vivian whimpers, leaning on Snowbaby: It really hurts!
Snowbaby whimpers, leaving on Marcus: It really hurts!
Marcus, drifts over to Simon to lean on him and pretends to get a shock [Red caption]: Oh, it's really hot!


Vivian, Snowbaby and Marcus laughs
-Cuts to Simon backing into Kiki-
The animate fire on his back
Camera person: What is this?

Kiki: Don't burn me!


Vivian puts her hand out coz she wants to say something to Kiki
Simon holds her hand back because he wants to finish saying something to the camera
Simon: No


Simon to crew members: Help me (to animate) in post-production Susan being burnt away
Kiki and Pii burst out laughing
[Yellow caption: Seems like we don't need to do post-production, just...]
-Cuts back to Vivian talking-
Vivian: I really wanted to say...
Vivian [Marrone caption]: She has been burnt
----Ugh, this is a bit awkward, but yeah is a joke on her sun tan. I'm not 100% sure about Kiki's background as a person & actress, but I think she spends a lot of time in the States, so she might be ok with getting a tan, whereas, it's more of an unusual thing in Asia---
They animate Kiki making a face
Camera person: Do you stand behind Qing Feng regularly?
-Cuts to Vivian talking again-
Vivian, shaking her arm to demonstrate: Qing Feng's flames keep doing this


Kiki glares at Simon jokingly [Brown captions]: It's all your fault

Pii [Red meat caption]: Charcoal roasted Susan

3. Marcus talking about how he hates Aoran's clothes [1:33-1:47]
Marcus is explaining the difference between his character's clothes
Marcus: Tian Xing wears...dresses...more simply
[Blue caption: Tian Xing = Simple attire]
Marcus: Black (clothes) , Western (clothes)
Marcus: In terms of Aoran...
Marcus: It's more flashy and alluring
[Pink caption: Aoran = Flashy and alluring]


Marcus laughs: Just like...
He looks down at the leopard print shirt he is currently wearing
Camera person: You mean like...
Marcus: Me, as an individual...I'm not used to his way of dressing
Marcus [Blue caption]: Aoran
Marcus [Purple caption]: Can you not contentiously wear these...
Marcus [Pink caption]: Flashy and Alluring clothes?!
[Lilac caption: Talking to himself XD]
---Haha, I thought this was funny since Marcus and Simon talked about how they kinda wore different character styles on stage at Marcus' concert. Simon definitely had an Aoran outfit, but I think Marcus had a Tian Xing outfit rather than a Qing Feng outfit on stage. Haha, I think Simon like the louder street outfits in real life, while Marcus likes the simple manly looks---

4. Behind the Scenes of the stairway and Morning After Aoran and Xiao En scenes [1:48-3:33]

6. Simon and Vivian hanging out Behind the Scenes at the Kidnapping Filming [4:29-5:07]
Vivian to Simon [Blue caption]: How many behind the scenes do you want to be in exactly?
Simon is standing there grinning
Vivian: Yesterday's behind the scenes were all you


He starts dancing as Vivian talks
Simon [Red caption]: I invested in the company doing the Behind the Scenes
---This is an in-joke about Simon being an investor which is an on-going thing since Episode 10 Behind the Scenes---
Vivian laughs and so does Simon
[Red caption: Since when was this a thing? XD]
Camera person laughing: Right


Vivian: No wonder you are a sponsor
---Another reference to a joke Simon made in Episode 8 Behind the Scenes---
Simon laughs: That's right

Simon: (You) Could run even faster

Vivian [Purple caption]: I will run even faster in a moment

Marcus Chang 張立昂 invites Simon Lian 連晨翔 to cover Dance Monkey & get their Bromance on at his Voice Up Concert

Yesterday night Marcus performed his concert at Legacy in Taipei last night (Legacy is a pretty great concert venue by the way! I saw Jasper Liu perform there with his old band Morning Call back in 2016 and loved the indie vibes of the arts centre and gardens it is situated in.)


Marcus often invites the co-stars of his dramas to come perform with him on stage, so it was no surprise that his Lost Romance co-star, Simon Lian was there to join him for a cover of Jam Hsiao's Song 'Dance Monkey.' Jam Hsiao sang the mandarin version adapted from 'Dance Monkey' by the Australian singer song-writer Tones & I.


There's video footage of the performance, as well as interactions between Simon and Marcus:








Loving all the videos that media have put out of not only the performance but also the interactions between the two and the fans. A translation of the last video directly above, Simon jokes to the audience that the reason he got to come to this performance is because he begged Marcus for a long time. Simon said he really wanted to come and he kept telling Marcus over and over again. Marcus considered for a long time. He said that he even got on his knees to beg! (This is of course a joke and Marcus is laughing at Simon's exaggeration about wanting to come as a guest). Due to Corona times, Simon also mentioned that everyone was wearing face masks (apparently fans got them for the concert) and he joked about lining up to get one. 


Marcus then asks the fans if they're happy, which they respond they are. Then he asks his audience as a joke, "Are you happy to see me or to see Simon?" to which the audience answers (but also Simon answers loudly) Marcus! Simon says he is also a Marcus fan. Marcus says he's joking - he tricked Simon to come along so that he would get more fans, though some of them would be there for Simon also. Marcus refers to a Lost Romance Behind the Scenes concept from Episode 7 that they are the perfect fried chicken meal deal. Simon jokes that Marcus is really brave to ask him - he says if you look at him, he looks like someone who has come to be a troublemaker, much to the laughter of Marcus and fans. Also Simon joked about causing trouble at Marcus' concert in the Lost Romance Behind the Scenes video from Episode 10.


Marcus joked that Simon looks like Aoran today and he had to take off the clothes he was originally wearing because of this. Simon said he deliberately chose an Aoran attire...He also said since Qing Feng doesn't exist in the real world he came to Marcus' concert to exist here for a bit. Marcus looks at himself and says that he's dressed more like Qing Feng and Simon is dressed more like Aoran. Simon agrees that they're kind of contradictory in their clothing choices.


An event host comes up and the boys ask who she is and she jokes that she's Xiao En who has gained a little bit of weight! But she organises a game between the boys to enact a domineering CEO scene. The event host says although Simon is dressed like Aoran, they will get him to play Xiao En. Simon is like "Me? Xiao En? There's are still lots of songs I an sing instead" Marcus jokes that it feels like he was messing with Simon when he invited him. They get Simon to pick an action to enact and the action Simon picks is 'Aoran lifting Xiao En honeymoon style up the stairs for that time.' Simon jokes that this has scared him and Marcus goes to take away the paper.


But the event host is only joking - the action is 'hand-holding with fingers intertwined.'  The hosts says they should rub their hands first to make it clean. From all the rubbing, Simon jokes "It's getting hot in here, we should take off our clothes!" - Much to the delight of fan girls everywhere. The host also says Marcus must say Aoran's lines to Simon (who is playing Xiao En): "Your hands are still so warm. Remember you promised that I only have to extend my hands, and I'll (always) be able to feel you. This is the greatest distance you'll be from me." The host makes a pretty dirty joke that though their hands are currently dry she hopes they'll be wet afterwards - but hastily adds 'wet with sweat.'


Simon pretends to lick his hand and says "Finally, I get to play the female lead" which makes both the host, the fans and Marcus laugh. Simon has lots of questions (eg. Left hand or right?) and after Marcus holds his hand, Simon says, "Pick me!" Some girls in the audience start chanting "Be together! Be together!" Which makes the hosts laugh and comment there's an Aoran x Qing Feng shipping. Marcus pulls Simon in close and says those romantic lines while Simon gazes at him. And once it's over Simon jokes that he suddenly felt like curling his leg around Marcus!

Some Day or One Day 想見你 nominated for 6 Categories at this year's Golden Bell including Best Drama, Best Actor & Best Actress

Today saw the announcement of nominees for the Golden Bell Awards to be hosted next month and Some Day or One Day has been nominated for 6 Awards. Both Greg and Alice have been nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress!


The Categories the series has been nominated for are the following:
  • Best Drama Series - Some Day or One Day
  • Best Actor - Greg Hsu
  • Best Actress - Alice Ke
  • Best Director - Huang Tien Jen
  • Best Script-writing - Jian Qifeng & Lin Xinhui
  • Best Innovation - Some Day or One Day
Such an amazing achievement! However, competition is tough this year. The top contender is Netflix's The Victim's Game, which scored 8 nominations including Best Drama Series and Best Actor for Joseph Chang. Another strong contender with 7 nominations is Yong-Jiu Grocery Store, a drama based on a manga about a real estate agent coming back to his small town to take over a family grocery store business.

The Best Drama Category will be a fight between the following dramas:
  • Some Day or One Day 想見你
  • Yong-Jiu Grocery Store  用九柑仔店
  • The Victim's Game 誰是被害者
  • The Mirror 鏡子森林
  • Hate the Sin, Love the 噬罪者
Although being a romance, it might be taken as more light-hearted series, I really hope Some Day or One Day will be able to take out the award for it's ability to make viewers feel like they went back in time. Also really looking forward to see Greg and Alice reunited and prettied up for an award show!

Some Day of One Day 想見你 Writer's Symposium reunites Alice Ke 柯佳嬿 & Greg Hsu 許光漢 for combined Fan Meet & Press Conference

Some lucky fans were selected through registration to participate in a Some Day or One Day Writer's symposium yesterday. The event not only brought the screenwriters, but also the main stars of the drama, Alice and Greg, back for interviews and discussions. Greg only recently finished filming up his last project in China (A Chinese remake of the Korean film, On Your Wedding Day.)


There's several different houses that posted similar interviews - hoping to translate soon.










A few quick things they talked about was they asked Alice and Greg when they saw each other last and it was back in April this year after their final promotions for Some Day or One Day. Then they were asked if they kept in contact and Alice joked that she had blocked Greg. This is not true though since she comments on his Instagram photos sometimes including when he posted about finishing filming in China. They were also asked about their feelings about potentially being nominated for the Golden Bell Awards this year. Greg said he would want the actor who played the villain in Some Day or One Day to be nominated. Alice again joked that if Greg was nominated and not her, she would be mad. The screenwriters praised Alice because she had a play 3 characters in the most depth.

There are also a bunch of cute pictures because who can resist when actors are reunited?
