Are you nervous?

Is your mom here?

My mom?

I invited her yesterday at the restaurant.

What’s wrong?

(Mom: I’m waiting for you by the lake.)

Hey!

We have a performance to give.

Mom,

I...

Be quiet, Lu Qiyi.

You’re so disappointing.

I can’t believe

you fooled us around.

You’re an adult

and independent, right?

So you think you can make

such a big decision, right?

You know why we objected it?

Your dad opposes performing arts

because he’s worried

you won’t fit in the showbiz.

Mom,

I’m sorry.

I lost sleep last night.

I haven’t told your dad.

But he’ll find out someday.

It’s only a matter of time.

You’ll face

the consequence by yourself, you know?

Miss Bai.

Whoever she is,

she’s right about one thing.

You’re an adult now.

You have the right to choose your life.

Since you insist on it,

OK,

prove yourself to me in the coming days

that you can be an actress.

Mom.

I’m sorry about cheating you.

But please believe me.

I can do it.

Alright.

I should go.

Lu Qiyi,

take care of yourself.

♪If I said it that day♪

♪Would you stay♪

♪Looking into my eyes♪

♪And listening to me♪

♪If I get closer♪

♪Will you tell me♪

♪How to express it♪

♪I know one day you will shine♪

♪In the vast world♪

♪Pursue your dreams♪

♪And your wishes♪

♪With your hand in mine♪

♪We travel around♪

♪No matter how long it takes♪

♪If we’re bound♪

♪If we’re bound to be set apart♪

♪How should I express my love♪

Get off! Boo!

Get off!

Get off the stage!

You didn’t have to come.

We’re good with or without you.

You didn’t have to come.

Get off!

We’re good with or without you.

Prove yourself to me in the coming days

that you can be an actress.

Get off the stage!

(GALLERY)

I’m your chief performance teacher

and head teacher.

My name is Sun Zhuowen.

(Sun Zhuowen) For my class,

there are a few requirements

I must expound.

First,

nobody comes late

or leaves early.

Second,

in my class,

no fanciful clothes are allowed,

including necklaces and earrings.

Third,

do not slack on academic study

due to campus activities.

(Rules)

The rules

will not be repeated.

Any questions?

To perform, we imitate a man.

(Man)

To do it great,

you have to be a good man first,

as ethics before skills.

Now...

Excuse me.

Now,

let’s do some exercises.

Excuse me.

Sir,

I went to dump the garbage.

No explanation.

You, come here.

What’s your name?

Fang Yan.

How old are you?

19.

OK.

Now, turn around.

Face the class and say

you’re garbage.

Let me show you.

Watch me.

I am garbage.

Your turn.

You’re garbage.

Here.

Ladies and gents,

I need some of you to help him.

Come on, you, and you.

Come here.

Come.

Gather before Fang Yan.

It’s Fang Yan, right?

Come, gather in front of him.

OK.

Now,

think about the most vicious language

and curse him.

Tell him

he’s garbage.

Start.

Fang Yan,

you’re no man.

Fang Yan,

you think you are cool?

You’re garbage.

Fang Yan...

Fang Yan, you think you’re Prince Charming?

You’re just a dumb ass.

You’re garbage.

Yeah, your shoes are terrible.

- You have foot odor. - Lump.

Fang Yan, say something.

Come on.

Fang Yan...

Foot odor.

Fang Yan, you look horrible.

Your foot odor is suffocating.

You think you are cool,

like a peacock.

Say something.

Fang Yan...

Fang Yan, say something.

Come on.

Alright, Fang Yan, come here.

Come.

The rest of you can go back.

Lu Qiyi, stay with us.

Come here.

Come on.

Come here.

Tell me and everyone else

why you didn’t curse him.

Come on.

Curse him.

Curse him.

Fang Yan...

Fang Yan, you...

Fang Yan, you’re not a good student.

Now, Fang Yan,

help her spice it up.

Do her a favor, go.

Scholar,

curse me whatever you want.

I won’t be mad.

Come on.

Have you forgotten how to speak?

Are you stupid?

Then go home.

You’re not made for performance.

Right,

what was that

at the admission exam?

I was pulled out of the scene, you know?

Without me,

could you possibly have been admitted?

Do you think you’re pretty,

or stylish,

or hot?

Look at yourself in the mirror.

Do you call it beauty?

You have no judge of beauty!

Lu Qiyi,

you’ll never become an actress.

You shouldn’t have chosen performing arts.

You rascal!

Ladies and gents,

you should remember this feeling.

You feel

Lu Qiyi’s wrath, don’t you?

Well done with the slap.

Thank you, Fang Yan for the perfect performance.

Ladies and gents,

revive your instinct.

That’s what we’re going to do this semester.

Try to make it real.

Remember this feeling.

This class is meaningful.

OK.

So much for today.

Morning exercise at 6:00 AM tomorrow.

Dismissed.

Thank you, sir.

Bye.

Don’t cry.

Fang Yan was actually

helping you out.

Without his help,

you wouldn’t have got the emotion out,

would you?

Let’s go.

The guitarist is so cool.

He’s my type.

♪Running gently towards the dream♪

♪Can’t stop the passion to chase♪

♪Even if there’s a trap ahead♪

♪I’m still proud, I’m still going♪

♪The grown-up gift is heavy♪

♪And it hurts to open it♪

Qiyi,

would you like to join our society?

♪One step at a time, towards the light♪

Here is a toy.

Thank you.

If you want to join the Guitarists’ Society,

feel free to let me know.

The chief is my friend.

♪The spring breeze brings love♪

Way to go!

When did you meet?

Why didn’t you tell me?

He’s so handsome.

♪And go forward bravely♪

♪I’ll try to be proud and willful♪

Oh, I see.

Qiyi,

you know what the required course

that most students fail is?

It’s love.

Do you know how many

girls in their prime time like you

miss out on their Mr. Right in college

and regret all their lives?

It’s not that serious.

It is.

You’ve loved him for 10 years.

Ten years.

It’s not love.

No.

Yes, it is.

- Ten years. - No.

Ten years.

No.

Girl,

from your face I read peach blossom.

Come on.

Allow me

(The Changes and Life) to do a detailed reading.

Girl,

I see a peach blossom curse in your fate.

Peach blossom curse?

I mean in the near future,

you’ll suffer in love.

Show me your hand.

(The Changes and Life)

Girl,

welcome to the Society of Changes.

Huh?

(Experimental Drama Society)

You may start.

Sir,

it requires 2 characters.

Yeah,

start.

Xiangzi.

Oh you.

What are you doing here?

I come to check on you.

You’re good, huh?

Gone like the dust

in the wind.

I’m here to see you.

What did you do?

You left me waiting on the alley.

You’re really something now.

Let’s talk about it

at the crossing.

No.

Can’t we talk here?

Keep it low.

The neighbors are asleep.

I’m always loud.

No wonder you’re avoiding me.

There’s a poisonous hooker here.

Stop!

You don’t like what I say?

Be frank.

What are you doing here?

I’m in delicate condition.

Delicate how?

This.

What do you think this is?

Huh?

Stop.

What are you doing?

Dual personality?

Didn’t you want me to start?

Did you introduce yourself?

Do I need to?

If you don’t introduce yourself,

who knows who you are?

This is commonsense.

Do I have to tell you?

Next.

You’re being unreasonable.

I said next.

I wanted to make a name

with Experimental Drama Society.

After today,

it’s not gonna happen.

You shouldn’t have picked at him.

Guys,

I wanna ask a serious question.

A serious question.

Who do you think

is the most beautiful girl in our class?

I think Kaixin is pretty.

You two are perfect together.

Do you like her type?

My dad said moral quality is the key.

Moral quality aside,

the men in our class

are so disappointing.

Take Du Ang as an example,

he’s so catty,

especially when he speaks.

And Li Sanshang

is a mute.

In my opinion,

a man of his personality

doesn’t belong with our class.

What about you?

Do you think any man in our class

has anything to do with handsome?

I think Fang Yan is cool.

No, no.

He’s kind of hypocritical to me.

I don’t think

anyone is extraordinary in our class.

Stop.

That’s very hypocritical.

Extraordinary? How?

Don’t set the mark too high, dude.

How do you like Bai Qiao?

I think she’s gorgeous.

Didn’t you say moral quality is the key?

My dad said that.

None of the men in our class

are half the man the guitarist is.

Who is the guitarist?

You should ask Qiyi.

I smell a story.

Start talking!

When will I have the chance to meet him?

Zimo,

are there any handsome men

in the class of directing?

The girl I like hasn’t come.

You’re demanding.

I’m not demanding.

In love,

fate plays a crucial role.

How do you like Qiyi?

I think she’s fun.

Cut it out.

Stop thinking about girls.

Go to sleep.

Alright.

Good night.

You’re up, Qiyi.

Mm-hmm, morning, Kaixin.

Morning.

Qiyi.

Yes?

Your lotion is moisturizing.

And it smells good.

What brand is it?

I have no idea.

My mom bought it for me.

Have you heard?

All freshmen go through a trial each year.

The School of Directing is friendly.

The trail we’re facing

is torture.

It’s said

the seniors

are all as vicious

as wild animals.

They’d lock us in a dark room

and torture us.

What’s worse,

they’d punish us with half squatting

for all day long

until we do it right.

And others like standing on one foot,

cutting our hair,

Thomas Flare, etc.

It’s so scary

that I’m already starving.

Look, Qiyi,

I’m going to buy some breakfast.

You can

shudder in fear alone here.

Could you open up sooner?

We have a problem.

The freshmen...

Comrade,

bliss or doom,

it’s all fate.

What will happen will happen.

The freshmen are required to gather downstairs.

I’m a senior student of performing arts.

I’m Ma Xiangyu.

Let me tell you.

The SUA has a few traditions.

First, treasure sharing.

Senior,

what’s treasure sharing?

Be quiet!

Why don’t you tell me?

Senior,

my family has a piece of jade.

But I cannot give it to you.

The treasure I mean is the four fundamentals,

your strengths.

In SUA,

you should be generous with your talent.

You ought to share with us

and show us.

What is this?

It’s still on my foot.

I think the phone is older than you.

Dude, your foot

is unbelievably steady.

I’m sorry.

I...

It’s OK.

Never mind.

Sorry, sorry.

It wasn’t my intention.

Never mind.

Leave it.

You must be freshmen.

Yes.

I’m from the class of performing arts.

So is she.

Really?

I’m a senior in performing arts.

Really?

Yeah.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

If you need any help,

just say the word.

Great.

- Thanks. - OK.

Alright, I should go clean up.

Mm-hmm.

Bye!

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

She’s so nice.

Well, let’s call it a day.

The three who haven’t gotten your student passes, stay.

We forgot our student passes.

What?

What did I tell you?

You’re back.

Yeah.

Have you had breakfast?

Not yet.

Qiyi,

I wanna take a nap.

Don’t wake me up.

Go have breakfast on your own.

Bai Qiao.

Yeah.

Where were you last night?

I went to see a friend.

I saw him driving you back.

Yeah.

He drove me back.

Bai Qiao,

next time before you go out alone

to drink,

let me know.

Qiyi,

I feel dizzy.

I have to get some sleep.

What did I tell you?

You said...

Sanshang.

Senior,

look,

you’re senior

to all of us.

Please forgive us.

Forgive?

For what?

You’re gonna

distribute leaflets for me.

If you don’t distribute all of them,

forget about getting these back.

OK.

Let’s go to the Student Affairs for a replacement.

Come on.

Go back.

You know,

we came to SUA a year earlier than you.

It’s disrespectful

to leave like this.

Senior,

don’t be angry.

We’ll do it. OK?

We’re newcomers.

Stay low.

If you don’t want to do it,

I’ll do it for you.

By the way,

put on the costumes.

Do you have to do this?

Sanshang!

Sanshang!

Let’s go. Come on.

Be careful.

- Careful. - Here he comes again.

Wanna go? Have you finished?

What do you want?

You haven’t finished.

Do you have any respect for rules?

Don’t you see my friend fell?

It’s no big deal.

As one of our school traditions,

no one lags behind.

You can’t go until the work is done.

Move!

Boys,

I was starving and weak last time,

so you took the upper hand.

But today, it’s not gonna be so simple.

Guys.

Fang Yan. Fang Yan.

Fang Yan.

Senior, look.

You’re a generous man.

I’ll buy you

ten Haagen-Dazs ice cream balls.

Cut the nonsense out.

What do you want?

- What do you want? - What is this?

- What is this? - What are you doing?

Are you gonna fight?

Are you gonna fight?

Answer me!

No, no, no.

We’re building bond.

Then build it in your dormitory.

Ten ice cream balls.

No problem.

- Come with us. - Get out of here!

Go.

Come on, lean on me.

Doctor.

Doctor.

Yeah.

Be careful.

I... I need something for the cold.

Doctor,

my friend is injured.

Get him in.
