Re-cycle (鬼域)

Hey, please help me carry the books out.

What's the matter?

You put me on the spot!

What did l do?

It's all your fault.

You shouldn't have announced my new book, Recycle, so soon.

You should have waited until I was almost finished.

Now I'm stressed over writing the female protagonist.

The male lead from my previous novel, Guo Rong...

...took me four drafts to get right.

I got it. I understand. You don't have to finish it in a hurry.

Just take your time.

The early announcement is just a promotional strategy.

The later the book comes out, the more people will look forward to it.

When the time is right for Recycle to be published...

...l guarantee it will be a bestseller.

Having met at the wrong moment, their paths cross again.

Reaching the end of love.

Original novel written by Chu Xun.

My Love

Hello, everyone.

On behalf of our company...

...l'd like to thank our friends from the media...

...for coming to the press conference of the movie My Love.

This is our first film adaptation of a novel by Miss Chu Xun.

May I ask a question? Among the three volumes of My Love...

...why did you adapt this volume into a movie?

After reading the three volumes of My Love...

...l was amazed by Miss Chu.

She was able to write three love novels in only three years' time.

Her incredible imagination and creativity are really admirable.

Besides, the ending of the third volume best expresses...

...the faithfulness of the love between Guo Rong and Yong Lin.

Miss Chu Xun...

...the story between the two characters, Guo Rong and Yong Lin...

...is very vividly written in the book.

Did that come from your own experience?

Is that true?

Well, l admit that some of it was my own experience.

When I'm writing...

...l subconsciously put myself into the character.

Therefore, each Yong Lin...

...is a part of me.

If Yong Lin is modeled after yourself...

...l think a lot of readers would love to know who Guo Rong is.

That person is no longer with us.

In fact, Miss Chu has started writing her new book.

Can you tell us something about the new book?

It will be a book about the supernatural.

What's the title?

The book's title is Recycle.

Recycle

Have you actually seen a ghost?

No, I haven't.

But l have heard about many strange occurrences.

What kind of strange occurrences?

You'll find out when you read Recycle.

Are you afraid of ghosts?

I believe many of us are.

Even though l'm afraid, I would still like to see one.

Why?

Because I want to experience...

...true terror that wells up from the depths of the heart.

Personal experience is crucial to a writer.

-Do you have an entry pass? -Oh. Uh....

-No, I don't. -Sorry, you can't get in.

But l know her.

-Sorry, you can't get in without a pass. -Please do me a favor.

-l've got something urgent. -No way.

Ladies and gentlemen, now it's time for the readers...

...to get autographs from Miss Chu Xun.

This is the end of the press conference. Thank you very much.

Ting-Yin.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

When did you come back?

Last night.

Do you have some time? Can we talk?

Ting-Yin.

Here you are.

Hi.

We need to go. The autograph session is about to start.

We have nothing to talk about.

I'm busy today. Maybe later.

When did he come back?

He said yesterday.

Does it mean there will be a sequel to My Love?

Come on. Let's go.

My Love Chu Xun

TING-YlN: The female protagonist is called...

...Fang Yu-ling.

Her hair is very, very long.

Her figure is oddly lanky.

Her survival instinct is very strong.

One day, Yu-ling sat in the living room, thinking.

The female protagonist of Recycle is called Fung Sin-mei.

A woman full of adventurous spirit.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, Chu Xun. This is Sandy.

Sandy. What's up?

Will you be free tomorrow?

I should be. What's the matter?

I would like to talk to you about something.

My brother is back in Hong Kong.

In that case, l won't be free.

Come on, just have dinner with me, okay?

It's been a long time.

Okay, as long as you don't mention him.

Where should we meet?

Outside Sogo at 2:00, okay?

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Okay. See you tomorrow. Bye.

Hello?

Do you know Hao Ran is back?

You've asked many times. I said not to mention him.

He and Xu Fen are divorced.

Won't you give him another chance?

What chance? Did he ask you to tell me that?

I'm sorry.

The writing hasn't been going well. I'm in a foul mood.

I really don't want to talk about him.

Actually, I should apologize.

My brother asked me to do this. What could l do?

He will check in with me when l get home.

He really wants to see you.

When did he divorce?

Three months ago.

I told you so. They were bound to get divorced.

What if I ask him to pay you a visit? No matter what, just hear him out.

Oh, how's your new book going? When will it be published?

I just started.

But for some reason, it's not going well.

- The inspiration will come. - Maybe.

Recently, something strange happened at home.

They say writing or filming about spirits brings them to life.

Last night, l had a feeling...

...that someone else was in my house.

Someone else?

I found a few strands of hair in the kitchen.

Much longer than mine.

You've been working too hard. Maybe you were just overly sensitive.

But...

...l saw a figure.

Could it be a hallucination?

Hey, don't look so spaced out. You're scaring me.

Was I? Many people said the same thing to me.

[MAN ON TELEVISlON TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

Hello?

Sin-mei found...

...strands of long hair in the bathroom.

They were behind the shower curtain.

No voice on the phone. Only a hollow hissing.

The female protagonist is called Fang Yu-ling.

Her hair is very long. Her figure is oddly lanky.

One night, she received three calls.

Strange noises in the receiver.

What's going on?

You don't look well.

Are you all right?

What do you want?

Why are you here?

I called, but the line was busy.

So l came up to check on you.

You sure you're okay?

I'm fine now.

What do you want?

I wanted to see you.

Something l would like to discuss.

- May I come in? - No.

Then can we go out for dinner?

You seem frightened.

Really?

You've been working too hard. You should get some rest.

No.

I got a divorce.

I know. Sandy told me.

Ting-Yin.

I think we should--

Stop saying, "l think."

You should have done this eight years ago.

Now it's too late.

Yes, you're right.

I did contemplate a divorce eight years ago. l was gonna--

"Contemplate."

Eight years ago, I was ready to divorce Xu Fen.

But she suddenly told me...

...she was pregnant.

As a result....

You didn't want to hurt her...

...so you didn't say a thing, right?
