Original subtitles

I am Doris from Chthonic.

I'll tell the true story.

Don't listen to gossip.

We knew a very weird fan a while ago.

His name is A-Tek.

He is really crazy.

I often didn't know what he was thinking.

And that changed my life.

‎CHTHONIC TOWEL IN 2014

‎ARE YOU AFRAID PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ‎YOU LISTEN TO CHTHONIC?

Are you also a fan?

Want some?

Let me tell you. I'll never give you this rib.

My friend made this for me.

No, thanks. You enjoy it.

Wipe your mouth.

I don't want to use their thing.

Aren't you working with Chthonic?

I saw you several times at their concerts.

I even saw you beat up a bunch of guys at a concert.

So cool!

Were you there too?

If it wasn't because I hadn't practiced my kung fu for so long,

‎I could have kicked better.

Why are you unhappy with Chthonic? You don't even want to use their towel.

Please stop mentioning that word.

I'll not even say "chronic" from now on!

This is the last time.

I won't tell anyone if I have a "chronic" disease!

Do you understand "chronic"?

It seems you are really unhappy with Chthonic!

-Enough. -Why are you wearing their T-shirt then?

I don't have any other T-shirts.

What's your name?

A-Tek.

My friends call me Maomao. I'm going back to Taichung.

Do you want to hang out with me for a few days?

Taichung?

I'll take care of your meals and accommodation.

It's okay to let you take care of my meals,

but I'll sleep wherever.

It's not good to sleep with you.

You talk too much.

You don't look cute with an angry face.

What I've suffered is like being deceived for a lifetime.

‎ONE MONTH AGO

-Protest till the end! -Protest till the end!

-Protect our home till the end! -Protect our home till the end!

Protest till the end!

I only knew that A-Tek is from Tainan.

He told me he is from somewhere "behind Tainan".

I wondered, was that Chiayi or Taitung?

He even said he is a "Taiwan dog".

What does that have to do with me?

I only knew later that he lived in a place called "Taiwan Dog".

What the heck? He lives in Taiwan Dog? So weird.

You guys are trash!

Go away!

Who is that? Beat him!

Beat him!

‎TO PROTECT OUR HOME AND PEOPLE, WE FIGHT

‎DONG! OW!

Let me educate you ruffians!

Beat him up!

You've had this coming.

A-Tek.

Let me help you!

Go!

‎WHAAA-TAAA

We still have a concert.

We'll let you take care of the rest.

Take care.

Freddy, don't go!

‎Don't come here!

Let's see how you deal with it!

Don't get close!

A-Tek, time to wake up!

You lazy boy! You've slept the whole day!

Grandma, stop hitting me with that.

What? Did you get beaten up by a ghost?

You sweat so much.

I fought with cops.

You lost, didn't you?

My face was covered in blood.

Useless piece of shit! How dare you come back!

I'm standing where the land acquisition is happening...

-They just ran it over? -At 10:00 a.m...

To stop residents from protesting...

I dreamed of that.

...of the field...

Our village will be like that sooner or later.

The police at the site of protest...

The rice field was driven over

to prevent residents from running in...

Those bastards.

To show the determination of the county government to acquire...

-I want some too! -The on-site commander gave an order

to immediately to eliminate all obstacles.

‎This is too ridiculous.

The excavator drove directly into the rice field.

-I want to fight against them! -The farmer looked at his own hard work...

We can't forgive them.

but was dug out by the excavator...

-We have to fight against them. -The vehicles drove over the field...

-I'll go and cook! -People were screaming...

-Eat and get enough energy. -It's chaos.

Let your whole body go beyond bounds.

Break the rules of corruption.

Leave the ruthless land.

I'd rather go wandering at sea.

I believe there must be a way at sea.

Nightmares will always disappear.

Let your whole body go beyond bounds.

Break the rules of corruption.

Go beyond bounds.

Break the rules.

Leave the strange society.

I believe there must be a way at sea.

Nightmares will always disappear.

Enough!

Wait...

Grandma, what?

A-Tek, you damn kid!

I bought these to worship the gods.

This is wrong!

Pick them all up!

Grandma, I'll buy new ones for you.

Please...

Grandma, don't do this.

Buy...

How wasteful! Pick them up!

All right. Guys, help me pick them up.

Grandma, they rehearsed so well.

Just let them rehearse.

We'll return them to you soon. Please.

Okay.

Pick them up now. Don't miss any piece.

-All right. -Come and help pick them up.

A-Zhen,

they were chanting.

Are you being a medium?

You can stop now!

Grandma, I am rehearsing.

Rehearsing? Can't you do this in the temple square?

Your dad may come to scold you.

All right.

Grandma.

I got every piece.

Keep them safe. It's a lot of money.

Here. This way.

Let's escort my grandma.

Okay. Let's continue.

A-Mei,

can I say something?

When you play,

can you raise your leg?

That will be hot. The audience will be happy.

We haven't reached the climax.

How high do you want it?

But Doris would raise her leg.

Ask Doris to play then!

Let's continue.

Shameless!

Test...

Okay.

Start from the beginning.

Sorry...

A-Yue, you are here too?

Sorry...

Your music is not good enough.

Are you going to perform on Nezha's birthday?

No way.

You have to know that

this place will be

the most developed place in the south.

The president may come here in person to announce the good news.

Yep. The Chinese are not here yet.

You are already sucking their dick.

Don't twist your voice.

You thought I couldn't understand?

Can you understand the words of your ancestors?

What's going on? Do you want to be beat up?

Uncle A-Wang, please.

Let us rehearse.

A-Zhen,

why are you doing this nonsense with this kind of person?

All right. I'll stay calm for A-Zhen today.

Don't invite those farmers again.

We need construction and development.

If you keep doing that,

I will withdraw the funds for this place.

Then we'll see where you are going to perform and sing.

We should help each other.

Understand?

Go on...

Sorry...

A-Zhen.

They came here for me.

Let me deal with it alone.

Otherwise, your dad will scold you.

‎THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION ‎OF THE TEMPLE'S GUARDIAN DEITY

Wait, stop!

Where did you go?

You're late.

Why are you late?

Everybody knows you hung out with those punks the whole day.

Boss, did you call us?

Go change your clothes.

‎WE'LL FIND GOLD IF WE DIG THE FARMLAND

A-Yi!

Sayonara!

-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.

Also, A-Tek.

He doesn't practice the Song Jiang Battle Array.

He is doing nonsense with others. A band?

Traitor!

-Li Wenqin! -What?

It's because you didn't allow him to use that command flag.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left.

The command flag? That command flag brings trouble.

Haven't you noticed, every time it's out bad things happen?

I asked him to switch to another one.

He was unhappy with it. Why was he unhappy?

Is that command flag so important?

Yeah. If the command flag is not important,

why didn't you let him use his own flag?

His grandpa passed that command flag to him.

It means something to him.

All right. We're just talking. Calm down. Okay?

That's weird. I deal with everything well,

except your things.

Anyway, that flag is unlucky.

Practicing seriously and

getting an opportunity to perform

in the National Cinema in Taipei is more practical, right?

Dad, it's "National Theater".

Right, National Cinema.

All right. You are the best.

Goodbye, Master.

Come check this out.

-Our first warrior in Tugou. -This one.

He wants to stop us from cooperating with China.

Shall we turn him into a Chinese mascot later?

Okay.

The first warrior.

Our economic development depends on him, the first warrior.

The first warrior.

Are you awake now?

Are you awake now?

A little upper...

Are you awake now?

-Harder. -A little to the left.

Are you awake now?

Pretty much.

Aren't we supposed to have a meeting?

A-Tek is late again.

He is always like this.

He must have overslept again.

Here he comes.

Fuck!

What's going on with you?

Oh no.

We don't need to go to the zoo to see pandas.

Good morning.

Good morning.

What happened?

I was hit by the scarecrow.

Five scarecrows.

Keep playing.

All right... Stop...

Take a break.

-Stop... -Excuse us...

All right. Take a break where you are.

-Excuse us... -Take a break.

Good news.

Everybody, listen carefully.

The president called me personally just now.

Listen.

He called me personally.

The president said we have been chosen

to be the first China town in Taiwan.

Look. Here. Open it.

Look. China Town.

Hang it up. Hang it up properly.

This place will become like that?

China Town?

Yeah.

Brother,

the fund for two years will be six billion.

Do you know how much six billion is?

Six billion? How are we going to use it?

Whatever! Who cares?

We will build many five-star hotels here

so the Chinese tourists will feel at home when they come here.

Why don't they just stay home then?

What do you know? You kid.

Wenqin, educate your daughter.

Anyway, this is confirmed.

It's great news.

I'll tell you a secret.

The president will come.

-The president will come here? -Yes.

I've been fighting for this.

So your guys should practice the array seriously.

Don't bring shame on me.

All right...

Construction!

Okay... That's it for today.

Bring it down...

Careful...

-Is it okay? -Yes.

Okay... Wait a second.

A-Tek, what happened?

Let's take a break today.

Are you out of your mind?

Take a break.

Now it's time...

Hey... Chthonic's press conference is about to start.

Thank you for being here for Chthonic's

press conference after returning from their world tour.

We'll now invite the leader of the band, Doris, to say something.

Chthonic's tour abroad included

more than 50 countries and 300 cities,

including the US, the UK, France, Sweden, Finland

Italy, Spain, and so on.

It also included countries we've never been to,

such as Lithuania, Latvia,

Vietnam, Indonesia, Russia, and so on.

We realized we have fans

in many countries.

We are very grateful.

Man, lucky them.

They got to go on tour abroad and have a press conference.

You haven't had a concert in Taiwan for three years.

Now that you're finally back,

are you preparing a big concert

for your local fans?

We've been touring for more than three years.

We're all a bit exhausted after coming back, so we want to take a break.

We also want to focus on making a new album.

But this weekend,

we'll be at a famous bar in Taipei

to have an after-party.

-You're in the way. Move over. -We'll invite some

-friends in the music scene to join. -Move over.

We welcome the media here to join us.

It's said a company in the mainland area

wants to acquire Chthonic's production company at a high price.

Is Chthonic interested in that?

Will that effect the content of the new album?

CHTHONIC POST-WORLD TOUR PRESS CONFERENCE

Um... I think the principles and position of Chthonic remain firm.

Wait...

Let me add something.

That country across the sea has a name.

It's called "China", not "mainland area".

I want to add something too.

Don't assume that when we were abroad

we didn't watch Taiwanese news.

We've heard that the president

wants to sign a cross-strait peace agreement.

That's bullshit!

Hero...

That's my Chthonic.

I have to invite Chthonic here

and ask them to sing.

Let the international media hear our voices.

We don't want to become a China town!

Stop bullshitting.

This time I'm going all the way to Taipei

to protect our village.

I hope you can bless my meeting with Chthonic

and make it successful.

Don't worry. I'll definitely come back to visit my grandma.

Please also bless my grandma

that she will remain healthy and peaceful.

Enough...

Now we have a cellphone.

Did you watch too many TV shows?

Are you going to a civil examination?

Here. Take this.

If you meet a bad guy, defend yourself.

Okay. I know.

Let's go. Come to Taipei with me.

Why do you have to go?

Can't you make a phone call?

It's not that easy.

They're a world-famous band.

Do you still remember... what we said at the riverside?

Do you mean...

the day you confessed your love to me?

Do you mean...

the day we ate red beans with ice?

The day we skipped class to watch a movie together?

Can you be serious?

I know.

We promised each other

to be honest people.

We have to let people in Taiwan know

we can't just sit and wait to be sold

and still count money for others.

But, even if you invite Chthonic here,

what can they do?

Chthonic is a spirit.

The spirit of going ahead without fear.

We'll organize a real concert here.

And express our opinions at the concert.

You really didn't change.

We promised each other.

Whoever breaks the promise is a coward.

This can't be faked.

I'll never fake it!

I know.

Come to the station with me.

I'll wait for you here.

I thought A-Tek was normal and helpful.

I thought southerners were very hardworking.

Who knew he would cause a lot of trouble later on?

Sorry, sir. You need a ticket to get in.

You can't get in without a ticket.

Okay. Sorry.

It's about time. I'll go in now.

Okay. Hurry up. It's starting.

This is not a concert.

Why are you choosing songs?

-Excuse me... -How about Defenders of Bú-Tik Palace?

Excuse me.

Wow.

‎DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON ME?

‎That's so realistic.

It hurts. It's real.

Sorry.

Are you a VIP from our company?

Or are you from a fan club?

Neither.

We rented this place privately so you probably can't get in.

Privately?

But I spent six or seven hours to get here.

We heard there will be people making trouble here today.

Here?

If anybody harasses Chthonic,

I'll be here to beat him up.

Let me stand up like a Taiwanese!

It's live!

You seem like a big fan of Chthonic.

All right. I'll let you in.

For real?

So there are good people like you in the Kingdom of the Heavenly Dragon.

Thank you.

Wait...

You can't bring this in. It's too dangerous.

This is very important.

Please keep it safe.

-Okay. -Thank you.

The mirror's reflection is blinding. I cannot see.

I can see it from the smoke.

Timeless sentence.

PARK EXHIBITION SPACE

Sounds of the shackles grow louder. Insanity.

More and more clear.

Timeless sentence.

Black!

Timeless sentence.

Timeless sentence.

War of the ages, the violence returns.

Immortal warriors escape from the urn.

Hundreds of years and we pledge hundreds more.

Infinite hatred for those at our door.

A thousand years and ten thousand more.

My lonely soul has been imprisoned here. A thousand years and ten-thousand more.

Names in the death note

are dazzling my eyes.

Names in the death note

remain for a thousand years and ten thousand more.

Everybody's drinks are on me!

Wait.

I have a surprise for everybody.

Randy, the vocalist of American band Lamb of God,

wants to say hello to everybody.

Randy!

Why do you have this?

That went too far.

The after-party became a concert.

I think it's getting difficult to

satisfy our fans.

Don't you think they went too far?

Yes. One even threw her bra at us.

Black, don't enjoy it alone. Share it with me.

-Give it to me. -No.

It's has no use for you. Give it to me.

This is great.

Like this. This is how it should be.

Hey, there is a group of strange people outside.

Probably drunken fans again.

Last time when we were in Germany

-Doris, come here to record something. -that drunken girl...

There is a loyal fan outside who has followed every concert of ours.

-He asked you to record something. -Bullshit from you.

To record what?

You say "I love you".

Washing the toilet...

He said so. Please?

That'll make him happy.

Wait. Clear your throat.

Fuck you.

Okay. One more time. Get closer.

Fuck you.

That'll make him happy.

Here. It's done.

Thank you, big sis Xiaohan.

What do you mean "big sis"? It sounds old.

Fuck! I'm so excited. My life is complete.

Thank you. I'll listen to it now.

Fuck you.

Fuck! Doris is super cute!

All right. Don't forget my Americano next time.

Okay. I will bring it.

Fuck. I need to set it as my alarm.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

-You young bastards! -Fuck you.

You are losers like Chthonic!

Losers who don't admit you are Chinese!

Losers!

ELIMINATING THE EVIL SEPARATISTS

You eat in Taiwan, use things from Taiwan and humiliate Taiwan.

You're trash!

You shameless Taiwanese!

Shameless...

Let me tell you.

We are like Chthonic.

We don't want your dirty money!

You're trash.

Stop arguing!

Just go!

They are fighting.

They are really fighting. What can we do?

Man... How dare they cause chaos at our event!

Go deal with it!

Singing today wasn't enough. I need to exercise more.

Go!

‎HIT! ATTACK!

There's so much trash in the Kingdom of the Heavenly Dragon.

Little bro, that felt great.

-It did. -Thank you.

You came from Tainan. Brilliant.

I'm A-Tek.

I'm Freddy.

I'm from Tugou... Houbi, Tainan--

All right. Let's have a late-night meal together.

You are powerful. Great.

Together?

Late-night meal.

Okay.

You can fight.

-Thank you. -Impressive.

You too.

Let's have a late-night meal together.

My life is complete.

Thank you.

‎HAVING LOTS OF CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN

That's nice.

Come to grandpa, here. One, two, three...

‎I have a wife.

A-Tek.

I HAVE A WIFE NOW

What the fuck! Do you need to be exorcised?

Eat your noodles.

You were filmed. You will be on TV.

Really?

So cool.

Sir, give me a straw.

We don't have a straw.

That's A-Tek!

There!

Wow, indeed.

Their provocative actions made some people angry.

According to the people being beaten,

the members of Chthonic led their fans to beat people.

The two factions fought violently.

The after-party instantly turned into a gang fight.

Why is he so handsome?

This fits well with the musical style of Chthonic.

This video was recorded by a fan at the scene with his own phone

and uploaded to the Internet.

-This person is crazy. -It was immediately…

shared by many fans.

The chairman is here, so do it seriously.

If you want to do it, do it seriously.

Squat properly.

Jump properly.

All right. Let me tell you.

I'll give you another week.

I'll invite some parliamentarians and officers.

If it still doesn't work, there's nothing I can do. Forget about it.

All right. Got it.

We're prepared for your tourist group.

Okay. Got it. Thanks.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Thanks for supporting.

What's going on? Are you tired?

A-Zhen, come here.

What's wrong with you these days?

Don't you know you're a leader here?

You look listless and unfocused.

No wonder we're criticized.

We are not monkeys. Why are we entertaining others?

Why do we have to remain silent?

The purpose of mastering the Song Jiang Battle Array is to protect ourselves

from being bullied.

Have you forgotten its true meaning?

You didn't used to be like this.

What was I like then?

Nobody dared talk to you like that.

If someone talked to you like that, you would fight him.

Fighting?

What do you have to fight against others with?

With your two tools?

Just take it as a form of exercise.

How is that right?

We could go jogging or swimming then.

Don't you have an idea?

What's the point of practicing the Song Jiang Battle Array?

Did you say I don't have an idea?

What am I doing this for then?

Money?

Can this make money?

They are now communicating frequently with China.

They have money.

And money can change anything.

Do you get it?

What can you stop?

Rich and powerful people

don't care if what we do has meaning or not.

How can I not know

that mastering the Song Jiang Battle Array is to protect our village?

Fine. If you said I don't have an idea,

I could drive a truck again.

Go take whatever job you like.

Sounds great?

You even let this chaos get on the news. This is ridiculous.

Having a gang fight at the after-party?

That's too much.

How do you, brand ambassadors, want me to explain this to my company?

Here's what happened.

Some people from outside broke in to make trouble that day.

Our members didn't start it.

Doris, to be honest,

we are doing business.

Who cares about your political identity?

Don't act so openly.

You say it. Explain to me.

What are the benefits to you?

Being a leader,

shouldn't you take care of the EQ of your members?

All right. We got it.

In fact, no one wants things like this to happen.

We'll be more careful in the future.

All right. Let's see.

-So? -So?

Our sponsor is upset. So?

I really hate to do business with these people.

If you don't do business with these people,

how do we get money to tour and organize concerts?

And pay big bills for the company?

What the fuck?

Where did all those rules come from?

Are we a pop star group?

You act like a star.

Wow, superstar.

Where's A-Tek?

I think he is on the rooftop.

Ask him to come here.

Yes, boss!

You guys don't have a problem with him working here, right?

No.

Are you guys really okay with that?

Didn't you say you needed a helper?

I do need a helper.

But being a responsible leader,

I need to know if this person is suitable.

And didn't you say that he often visits police stations or something?

He didn't commit a crime.

He was arrested for protesting.

He even said he listened to Chthonic when doing that.

He is loyal and he takes action.

He is an activist.

But didn't you say he only speaks Taiwanese?

Perfect.

I write lyrics in Taiwanese, so I need someone to practice with.

You look like a character in a martial arts movie.

Oh.

-Yes. -And?

Wife.

More?

Enough. What do you want?

Nothing. Did you sleep well in the rehearsal space?

It's very stuffy. And there's no window.

Why didn't you turn on the AC?

Turn on the AC in this weather? Are Taipei people all like that?

Yeah. How do you sleep without the AC?

Don't worry. You'll have a window tonight.

Come. Sleep with me.

Follow me.

Boss, I brought him here.

A-Tek, didn't you say yesterday that you can drive a trailer?

‎HONK

Great. Come to work tomorrow.

-I love Chthonic-- -That's enough.

Okay. We need to attend a show.

I really love Chthonic.

But...

I really love Chthonic.

I...

I really...

I really love Chthonic,

but my purpose here

is to invite Chthonic to perform in Tugou

to stand with us.

We don't want Tugou to become a China town.

Did you say thootao? Peanuts?

You brought peanuts? And you hide them?

Bring them out! I'm hungry.

You guys seem very happy while I'm away.

But I'm not trying to show off.

Do you know who I'm sitting next to?

-Who? -Look.

Freddy.

Is Freddy handsome?

I'm not letting you watch him too long.

I'll show you, Black.

-I can't see anything. -Black is asleep.

He isn't drunk, is he?

Your reception is really bad.

Let me tell you.

Just now, I "winked hello" with Doris.

What does "wink hello" mean?

A-Zhen, I can't believe you don't even know "wink hello".

"Wink hello" is a way to say hello

by acting cute.

Like this.

Wink hello!

Stop bullshitting.

Ask Doris to blink hello with us then.

Fine. Wait there.

Doris.

Come.

Can you wink hello to them?

Didn't you say...

A-Tek, you should help Xiaohan.

Did you see that?

I can't fake this, can I?

Freddy is being photographed. He is so handsome.

They're coming to sign the contract. And you're there playing.

Don't you think it's too much?

Someone is jealous.

You don't want to rehearse anymore?

Seeing A-Tek so happy in Taipei, how can we calmly rehearse?

A-Yue, you'll be the vocalist.

Why me?

Your voice is perfect after two days without brushing your teeth.

Go fuck yourself.

This is perfect!

A-Mei.

Call A-Tek.

Tell him not to come back.

You sing.

You can beat me to death and I still won't sing it.

‎MOON

This is your red bean milk with ice.

Sweet bean dessert over ice.

What are you laughing at?

A-Yue,

a bowl of four fruits with ice.

Okay.

Grandma.

I'll give you these two eggs for free.

Were you hit by a ghost?

I'll take you to the Nezha temple for exorcising.

No, Grandma, I am practicing.

A-Tek has the same problem as you. He screams all the time.

I would be scared to death by you at night.

Four fruits with ice. Coming right up!

Hurry up.

Hi, Jennifer.

Yeah, we're on the way to the airport.

After we pick up Randy, I'll tell him to call you. Okay?

Yeah, I know.

Don't worry. I'll make sure

he doesn't get into any trouble here. Okay?

Okay. Bye.

I'll go and find him. You wait here.

Okay.

You are an a-do-ah.

No... You... are an a-do-ah.

A-do-ah you. I'm A-Tek.

I thought you only speak Taiwanese.

I didn't say I couldn't speak English.

I should at least understand it.

Shouldn't I, A-do-ah?

Okay. Floor it.

Besides,

traditional culture is very popular

in our country recently.

I hope you, my comrades,

can give us some advice.

We'll spend 15 minutes here.

Have fun, everyone.

The toilet is on the right-hand side.

We're almost there.

Okay. We've arrived.

Please prepare to get off.

My comrades, please prepare to get off.

We've arrived... Come...

‎JINZIN BUS RENTAL, CEO TRIPS

Come... Please follow me.

Check out the traditional culture of our village.

‎-Stop... ‎-The practice...

‎of the Song Jiang Battle Array!

Come... This way.

Please wait a minute.

Wenqin,

what's going on?

Why did you stop?

Just show them a little bit.

-They're all VIPs. -Stop photographing!

There're secretaries

‎-of provincial offices. ‎-I said, stop photographing!

That official position is higher than our county head.

Wang, what's wrong with you?

You didn't notify me before bringing people here!

And you let the bus drive into my square.

What's the situation?

Are they here to watch monkeys?

What're you talking about?

Watch monkeys? Monkeys would perform for free.

I asked you to perform. You should perform.

Why do you talk so much? Hurry.

Hurry? The toilet is there.

What is it with you now? Are you being big-headed?

What do you want now?

Tour leader, what kind of performance is that? Forget about it.

Take us to see the land.

That's right. You can also take us to buy local products.

We're not here to see you fight.

Shopping is more important. You know?

Hurry up...

Okay... I'll be right there.

Great. Now they don’t want to see monkeys anymore.

Say that again.

Let's get on the bus.

Okay. We're almost there.

Prepare to get off. Come on.

We've arrived. Come. Let's get off.

Here they are again.

What?

Leading cadres, this way. Watch your head.

My comrades, look! Wherever you go,

there are banners to welcome you.

Did you see those? Let's have a round of applause.

This is a very elegant place

with convenient transportation.

This A-Yue Ice and Fruit Shop is very famous in Tugou.

Here it is.

Sir.

Welcome.

Hey, sis Xiaohan.

Good morning, everybody.

Good morning.

Boss...

The wine that was not finished last time

is still here. I kept it safe.

Good morning, sir!

You're showing off your English today.

Your breakfast will be ready soon.

There have been protests for many days...

Black, stop getting him drunk.

The Tourism Bureau estimated,

this has caused a loss of tens of billions of dollars.

Protect Taiwan!

-Damn it. -Defend democracy!

Defend democracy!

Protect Taiwan!

What can we do if Chinese tourists don't come here anymore?

Do they care about people's opinions--

-Can I take a leave today? -Take a leave?

Whenever I see people protest,

I want to join them.

Protest?

Do you like it?

I like protesting. Do you like it?

I like it too.

So you like it!

You like it!

I said I like it.

Let me make it clear.

I'm not here to work as a driver.

I came here to invite you to perform in Tugou

to stand with us.

Tugou can't be sold. Are you coming?

Let's talk about the concert later.

I think we should check out the protest first.

We can't. Randy is a foreigner.

If you do this, he'll be deported.

It'll be fine if we only pass by.

We save our own country!

We resolutely oppose the secret agreement that betrays our country!

We save our own country!

We resolutely oppose the secret agreement that betrays our country!

We save our own country!

We resolutely oppose the secret agreement that betrays our country!

We resolutely oppose the secret agreement that betrays our country!

-We save our own country! -We save our own country!

We resolutely oppose the secret agreement that betrays our country!

Don't go!

Randy went. I'll go too.

We resolutely oppose the secret agreement that betrays our country!

-We save our own country! -We save our own country!

Our friend Freddy also came here with Randy. Applaud!

‎Great!

-Defend democracy! -Defend democracy!

-Protect Taiwan! -Protect Taiwan!

‎-Defend democracy! ‎-Defend democracy!

‎-Protect Taiwan! ‎-Protect Taiwan!

Stay here in the car, okay?

I...

I'll go and take care of them.

-Defend democracy! -Defend democracy!

-Protect Taiwan! -Protect Taiwan!

Brothers and sisters,

the representatives who will sign the secret agreement will be here.

Let's kick their ass! Okay?

Yes!

We resolutely oppose the secret agreement that betrays our country!

‎We resolutely oppose the secret agreement ‎that betrays our country!

Randy Blythe!

Taiwan nationalism!

Let's go!

It's fine now. Just be careful next time.

Luckily, Randy ran away

or he would have been deported.

Doris, it's fine now.

Look, everyone is out now. It's fine.

It's nothing. Okay?

It's nothing.

How did making music turn into being arrested?

That's unlucky.

How can you educate kids this way?

Isn't it too much?

A-Tek.

How are you?

A-Zhen.

I'll come back in a few days.

They've been talking about performing in Tugou.

They'll come. Don't worry.

A-Tek,

I'll be happy if Chthonic can come,

but there have been many tourist buses in our village recently.

They brought a lot of Chinese tourists here.

After they got off the bus,

they all checked out our land.

Some even talked about prices.

This is such an uncomfortable feeling.

I'll never lie to you.

I promise I'll make a deal with Freddy in two days.

Then I'll come back right after that to announce the good news. Okay?

All right.

It was annoying enough with the fighting last time,

-This childish blackmail -Now you lead

-is to discredit us. -the protest and got arrested.

This title is exaggerating.

"Chthonic Plotted a Riot"?

It's not true.

-We were just-- -Yeah... That wasn't your intention.

This... Randy asked you to join.

He is more impulsive, isn't he? I know...

Randy is a foreigner who loves Taiwan very much.

We planned to show him

what Taiwan is like now.

We really didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Doris, I have to tell you that

too many things have happened,

so I'm afraid we can't sponsor Chthonic anymore.

I'm sorry things turned out like this.

I... still hope you can reconsider this--

Many sponsors want to "cancer"

their sponsorship deals.

Some sponsors even plan to sue us for breaking contract.

-You mean "cancel" the sponsorship. -Cancel the sponsorship...

A-Tek,

we treat you like a friend.

Your philosophy is "simian" to ours.

"Similar", not simian.

Stop interrupting.

Anyway,

for the career of Chthonic,

stop going to those protests.

And stop inviting our members.

You shouldn't go either.

You're our employee now.

If something happens to you, how do we deal with it?

Oh.

If you can't do it,

I can only ask you to "walk", okay?

So I don't need to drive anymore.

I can walk from now on?

I almost fired you. How can you joke now?

So you are asking me to walk away?

What else do you think?

Chthonic will fire me because

I go to a protest?

Dear listeners, hello.

We are honoured to have Doris

from Chthonic and the vocalist of the American heavy metal band

Lamb of God, Randy,

here today to share their process of making a new album.

All right. Say hello to everyone. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm Doris from Chthonic.

Hello everyone!

And... I'm happy to be in Taiwan again.

Welcome.

So let's talk about the topic today.

That is the cross-strait peace agreement.

It seems this issue has been creating chaos.

I heard Chthonic and Randy went to the protest.

Can the two of you share your opinions

on this issue with the listeners?

Are you talking about the protest?

Are you upset?

How do you know?

Although we just recently met each other,

you don't have a husband, and I don't have a wife.

I watch your belly grow.

It's written on your face.

"Look.

I'm A-Tek. I'm upset.

Because I was scolded."

It hurts.

Why is your face so greasy?

What did you say?

Those fuckers.

So it's true that the government has a blacklist.

They really are monitoring us.

This is my favourite place.

What's the matter, buddy? In a bad mood?

What?

I'm disappointed.

Disappointed?

Doris said,

I'm not allowed to go to a protest. Not anymore.

She said the sponsors cancelled the deals because of the protest.

What about the protest?

She said, no protest. No!

Actually, Chthonic works in the entertainment industry.

They can't show their political identity too openly.

But I always thought you guys were activists!

I don't know what to say.

Why no protest?

Money! It's all for money!

I wouldn't care if it was another singer.

But you are Chthonic! Chthonic!

Do you know how many young people like me were inspired by you?

Do you know?

Don't act like those bo tshau bo siau celebrities.

"Bo tshau bo siau"?

Fuck you. I'm not bo tshau bo siau.

What is "bo tshau bo siau"?

I'll teach you later.

‎FAKE

It's all for money. No good!

No good... You're no good.

Huh? What is good?

You're dressed too formal for shrimp fishing.

Polo shirt? What do you want?

Is there a rule saying polo shirts are not allowed here?

No, there isn't.

But how long have you been following us?

If you want to follow us, use a better technique.

Didn't you watch any James Bond films?

Let's go.

We need to work.

You don't need to clean this up?

Bo tshau bo siau.

You two idiots.

Have we seen each other before?

Have you ever lived in Tugou?

Careful...

I might be the lover in your dream.

Now people fishing shrimps

like wearing polo shirts and suits?

Loser!

Ah! I remember.

The lover in my dream!

The lover in my dream.

You think you can speak English?

Fuck you.

Hey! What's going on?

Get me out of here!

Send people here now!

Stop beating A-do-ah!

You look terrible.

Yeah. Here...

Be careful.

Sorry. It's my fault that you're being deported.

Don't worry about it, bro.

A-do-ah, A-Tek are brothers.

Are you still listening?

I'm also sad. Okay?

Randy came here to help us make the new album.

But he got kicked out after a few days in Taiwan.

Now everyone thinks it's my fault?

Damn it! I'm really unlucky.

Bon appétit!

I have to say.

We really can't let A-Tek work here anymore.

I don't have a grudge against him.

I do this for Chthonic's future.

I think he has to leave.

I asked him not to go to a protest.

So much trouble happened.

I've no choice but to let him go.

This doesn't make sense.

Chthonic never avoids politics.

Wouldn't this problem happen sooner or later?

So now you blame A-Tek?

That's not right.

I couldn't agree more.

Don't interrupt.

Anyway, Taiwanese people have always been like this.

Now our band is almost finished.

Who said that?

Stop interrupting.

Stop wiping your mouth.

What's the purpose of writing our songs?

Our songs have impacted so many fans.

They listen to rock music not only to feel great and relax,

but also to express their anger

and sorrow.

They hope they can change the world,

change Taiwan.

We've known A-Tek for a few days.

Don't you agree with him

that we should make our ideals a living practice?

He didn't ask us to take a gun to take part in a revolution.

Why are we kicking him out?

That's good. I give you a thumbs up. Nice.

Doris,

I know you always put Chthonic as the first priority.

Look at how Taiwan is now.

It doesn't look like a country.

Don't you want to make some changes

to make Taiwan better?

Don't you want to take action?

When you're in a restaurant

and see shitty news on TV,

you always switch the channel immediately.

You're born to be an activist.

Stop arguing.

A-Tek already left.

What I've suffered

is like being deceived for a lifetime.

‎UBUS TRAVEL

The president is here.

Good evening, president.

The locals are all very happy.

A-Tek.

A-Tek.

‎A-Tek.

My hand hurts.

This stop is the National Taichung Theater.

This stop.

Let's get off.

Hurry up if you're getting off.

To be honest,

I really don't dare to go back to Tainan.

Where are you taking me to?

I'll sell you for a profit.

I'll take you to the Golden Cat Club.

Is this club famous?

It is.

The guys inside

get down on their knees to serve sashimi naked.

Sometimes they even have to sing for female guests.

I hang out with my friends here every day.

That one. Is she hot?

Taco.

This stray cat is finally back.

Your boss is going to fire you.

I don't care.

It's easy to find a part-time job.

Hey, I brought a souvenir for you.

What's this?

Ah! Chthonic!

But he looks too naive. Not my type.

Don't look down on him. He is Chthonic's bodyguard. He can fight.

Really?

He is the character mentioned

in Chthonic's album, "Pan Tsingguan".

No way.

Pan Tsingguan looks like this?

Why would I trick you?

Can you show her your flag?

Sure.

What?

Be careful.

‎PAN TSINGGUAN

"Pan Tsingguan".

One, two, three, four!

The ghost troops have failed to tie Tsingguan down.

Stop the past's mistakes.

A-Tek, join us!

Let's go!

Drink more.

Hey, Pan Tsingguan.

Come get your Birth and Death Book.

Are you really

Pan Tsingguan from Chthonic's song?

Is she drunk?

The ghost troops have failed

to tie Tsingguan down.

Stop the past's

mistakes.

Forever against dictatorship.

Stop the past's mistakes.

I came here to find Chthonic's stories.

I really like them.

Especially Chthonic's Takasago Army.

The stories on this album are very touching.

I've been searching for the story of Pan Tsingguan in the lyrics.

He is a hero.

A real man who is willing to help others.

I love that kind of man.

She said you are a real man.

If you are Pan Tsingguan,

I'll marry you.

I've been practicing this in Japan for a long time.

Do you understand what I've said?

I don't really understand,

but I know

you really like Chthonic

and Pan Tsingguan.

At this point, I really wish I was him,

but I am not.

I...

I am not Pan Tsingguan.

This name was engraved by my grandpa

to commemorate a very brave young man

who sacrificed his life during

the difficult time in Taiwan.

He bravely broke into the National Security Bureau

and tried to bring back documents that framed many Taiwanese.

Those documents are like the Birth and Death Book.

But he failed.

He sacrificed himself.

My grandpa engraved his name on the flag

and gave it to my dad.

My dad gave it to me.

He expects me to be as brave as

Pan Tsingguan.

I know. You are not him.

But I think you are an awesome person.

Awesome?

I understand this word.

I hope you can be as brave as him.

Keep going!

Be more awesome!

Be more awesome!

We save our own country!

Save our own country!

Don't rely on others. We will save it!

We save our own hometown!

Bring this.

If you meet a bad guy, defend yourself.

-Li Wenqin! -What?

It's because you didn't allow him to use that command flag.

Who said you could hit on my daughter?

A-Tek, Grandma brought the command flag for you!

Did you see a ghost?

You always blamed A-Tek's flag as being unlucky.

Let me tell you. Finish the lunch box.

I spent the whole night stewing this rib.

Since you've returned, the whole band has a different vibe.

I mean, Tugou needs someone like you.

Otherwise, we Taiwanese...

This spirit of solidarity

is the most important thing of the Song Jiang Battle Array.

I need to know what you are doing.

Got it?

Yes.

I won't be like my master.

Master, you taught me this.

I'll stop dreaming.

I'm going back to my hometown.

You're back.

I heard you went to Taipei to work as a driver. Was that true?

You went all the way to Taipei to be a driver?

Come on.

Just drive for me.

I'm one of the candidates for the position of county head.

You can also hold the flag for me.

You're experienced with holding that flag, aren't you?

For the safety of our village,

and for the development of this place,

we have to support the China town in Taiwan.

Right?

You don't have an assistant today?

There are things you don't know.

Those guys are not suitable for some situations.

You got a flat tire.

Hey! You damn kid. Don't touch my car!

Damn kid.

Why did you break my car?

You want to be beaten up?

Do you want to die? Fine...

Damn kid!

Give my key back to me, or you will die.

You did this on purpose!

Pick up your own key.

Why did he throw it this far?

Pisses me off.

Where is it?

How can I find it?

Damn kid. He threw it this far.

‎GOURMET GROUP HERBAL TEA

‎GASOLINE

Fine. A-Tek is really crazy.

But he became like that because of Chthonic's music.

How can we stand aside?

We should support him.

Chthonic are activists.

Taiwanese people have been working very hard on this island

for hundreds of years.

We should have what we deserve,

to be our own bosses.

You bastard

who wants to sell Taiwan.

Arrest him!

Let me stand up like a Taiwanese!

What are you waiting for?

Surround them...

In order to express everyone's opinion,

A-Tek may be jailed for life.

We must take action.

Taiwanese should take action.

A-Tek!

Go!

Now we have guns too.

Stop pretending.

We can really fight back!

Let's go!

‎HELP - RIVER - HERO - BATTLE ‎CROSS - UP - WISDOM

Hey, wait.

I haven't finished yet.

Enough... Stop talking.

One kind of rice feeds hundreds of kinds of people.

We all eat Chinese rice.

Some people can respect their country normally.

Some people have a weird brain.

You Chthonic criticise others all the time,

but you are the worst kind.

Unbelievable.

We, Eyeball Corporation,

will never work with Chthonic who supports the independence of Taiwan.

If we keep working with you,

we can forget about the market in mainland China.

April showers bring May flowers.

If you want to earn money from Chinese, be grateful.

Keep the chaos for yourselves.

In the business world, people only spend time and effort on...
