=Episode 5=

Get up, guys!

You’re late for morning exercises.

Zimo, it’s me.

Yank Kaixin and Bai Qiao up.

Morning, Mr. Sun.

Li Xiao.

Is it just you?

Where are the others?

Uh...

What time is it?

Where are they?

I’m asking you!

What are they doing?

Today,

we’ll start with a beach scenario.

Now,

imagine that you’re all on the beach.

You may work with your partners.

There’s no limitation,

but

you need to convince me.

I expect to see a real-life beach scene.

Action!

(Li Sanshang, what’s the deal? Who was the girl you hugged last night?)

(Come back! Talk to me!)

What are you doing?

Are you a sea turtle or what?

Back in line!

What kind of beach scenario was that?

Are you kidding me?

I don’t get it!

Think, people!

If you were on the beach,

what would you wear

and what would you do?

Use your brain.

Try again!

Roast starfish!

Roast squids!

Roast kelps!

Roast crabs!

Do you like

this place?

I do.

Really.

Are you cold?

I’m good.

Sanshang,

are those your grandpa’s shorts?

What are you two doing?

What’s your relationship?

We’re...

- A couple! - A couple?

You don’t look like one.

Think again.

What would a real couple do?

And you?

You should’ve built your role

before playing it out.

Immerse yourself in the given situation.

Go on.

While you’re swimming,

bigger waves are hitting you.

Suddenly, a huge one catches you!

Wu Rida,

you’re a shark.

Shark!

It’s coming at you!

Run!

Xiuwen,

come here. Come.

You aren’t afraid at all?

Are you some superhero?

And who’d dress like that on the beach?

Are you shy?

Or still reserved?

Hey, guys, give him a hand.

No, no, no.

Take off your clothes!

Don’t!

Stop!

Go away!

Put it back on.

Mr. Sun.

Why didn’t you call it off?

We’re in the middle of a scene.

Listen,

you don’t get to decide when to stop.

Only the director can.

Xiuwen is introverted.

Why did you give him a hard time?

When they were stripping him off,

why didn’t you do anything?

Fang Yan...

Let me ask you something.

When you went to the beach to swim,

what would you normally wear

and do?

Nowadays,

actors do non-physical performance

against the green scene a lot.

If you can’t even pull through

the basic scene practice,

better quit acting now!

But still, we deserve respect.

Respect?

Fang Yan,

respect goes both ways.

You skipped morning exercises.

I asked you not to sign up for school clubs

so you’d focus on your study.

And what did you do?

You started your own club.

What’s more,

last night,

you must’ve had a lot of fun,

drinking and dancing, right?

Very well.

Keep that up.

Go have fun.

Go ahead.

Enjoy yourselves.

Mr. Sun...

Li Xiao.

I’ll go check on him.

So what’s that all about?

Mr. Sun is mad at us!

Let’s go get him back.

Fang Yan,

that was disrespectful

to a teacher!

He was speaking for Xiuwen.

And you!

Would it kill you to show some skin?

Be a man, will you? Come on!

To be fair, he didn’t know Mr. Sun would...

Enough! Shut up!

And what did you do?

Mr. Sun...

Stop! Break it off!

Go apologize to him!

Silence!

Calm down.

That’s loud.

Mr. Sun stormed off.

The most important thing

is to get him back.

It’s all your fault!

What did I do?

You don’t know?

Hadn’t it been for you,

we wouldn’t have come late

and Mr. Sun wouldn’t have left in anger.

I sent messages through group chat yesterday.

Yes, you did.

You did do that.

But when did you send them?

Couldn’t you tell us in person?

But you all went dancing last night.

We were busy

having fun.

Who had time to check the phone?

Did you?

And you?

I didn’t.

I saw her message.

Stay out of it!

We didn’t ask you!

What’s wrong with you, Hao Kaixin?

What are you doing?

Knock it off!

Don’t touch me!

Are you nuts?

Stop it, all of you!

No more fighting!

You started it!

Zip it!

Now you’re crying?

Shut your pie hole!

Can you two stop?

Are you picking a fight?

What’s the matter with you?

Shut up, shrew!

Hey, man.

You were bold in class.

Which girl did it?

Does she have a friend?

Don’t be shy!

Wait for me, man!

Where are you going?

To see Mr. Sun.

And do what exactly?

Apologize to him.

Like that would change anything.

Besides, you did nothing wrong.

I mean,

they all saw your messages.

But after a long night of partying,

they couldn’t get out of bed so early.

Is that what you’re gonna tell Mr. Sun?

Look,

he’s in a fit of anger.

Give him some time to cool down.

Come on.

Let’s go.

Bravo, Ms. Tang.

Once they see your demo,

you’ll bring back

another international award for us.

That’s exactly

what I’m striving for.

Speaking of which,

I’ll leave the post-production to you.

No problem. You got it.

Director Fang,

my students are waiting.

I gotta run.

OK. Sure. Go ahead.

See you.

Thanks for the help.

Don’t mention it.

Appreciated.

Breathe.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven. Continue.

Two, two, three, four,

five... yeah, six...

Chin up. Good.

Eight... OK. Bend.

One, two...

Open your thigh.

Bend.

Stretch your body.

Like this. Good.

Stretch your body.

Yes.

Straighten your leg.

Ms. Tang,

stretch my body

and bend, right?

Cut it out!

Bend!

Ms. Tang.

Hi.

Overtime?

Hey,

I heard about your little situation.

Kids now

are getting worse and worse.

Not exactly.

You don’t know that for sure.

Well, I mean,

it’s too soon

to jump to conclusions.

We’ll see.

I can give you a hand if you want.

Oh?

So you got a plan?

Don’t worry too much.

When Mr. Sun shows up at the door,

let’s...

Li Xiao.

Where’s Mr. Sun?

I’ve talked to him more than once,

but...

Self-practice for now.

Li Xiao.

Li Xiao.

Is Mr. Sun giving us up?

I’ve never seen him this furious.

Hey,

I’ll try to talk to him again.

And you guys see what you can do.

OK.

Thank you.

See you.

Wait.

Sorry about last time.

I didn’t mean to ruin your shirt.

This one is for you.

I hope it fits.

Again, I’m sorry.

My shirt?

I should go.

Bye.

Bye.

I’m sorry. My bad.

I didn’t mean to...

Qiyi,

you knew Zhang Yang?

Our parents are pretty close.

So childhood sweethearts then?

Are you blushing?

I’m not!

It’s the heat.

From the outside or the inside?

You know, I can hook you two up.

Don’t!

Why?

I’m experienced.

Think of me as Cupid.

My arrows

always make happy couples.

Mr. Sun...

Oh my God!

Big dog!

Qiyi,

it’s OK.

Don’t worry. It won’t bite.

I... I’ll protect you.

You go see Mr. Sun.

I’ll take care of this dog.

Good luck.

Yeah. The same to you.

Go away!

My turn.

That was close!

Mr. Sun...

I’m sorry, sir.

It’s my fault.

They missed morning exercises

because of my delayed messages.

I’ll take full responsibility for it.

But please come back and teach us.

Qiyi,

let me ask you a question.

Are all of you

ready to be professional actors?

I told you

what the most important thing is

to be an actor

in my very first lecture.

Go back

and review that with your peers.

Good day, Mr. Sun.

(Gentle and Pleasant Breeze)

See you, Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Sun,

I see what you’re playing.

OK. Class,

let’s talk about philosophy.

Let’s start with the definition.

Philosophy is the linguistic form and summary of the world-view,

in which it covers a key concept,

dialectical materialism.

(Is Mr. Sun gonna come back?) So what is dialectical materialism?

Marxist dialectics emphasizes

universal connection

and development.

(What if he stops teaching us?) There are three basic laws.

(Bai Qiao, what did Li Xiao say to you?) What are they?

First, Law of Unity and Struggles of Opposites.

(@Bai Qiao) Second, Law of the Negation of Negation.

Third, Law of Transformation of Quantitative to Qualitative Change.

(@Bai Qiao) Please note that those three laws

are interrelated.

- Rich brats like her... - They can be...

- are a mystery. - quite useful in our daily life.

In terms of dialectics...

- Rich brats? - what are the methods?

- But I heard... - That is...

- she always stays out all night. - induction and summary.

You should be able to use them.

No way!

Really?

They’re crucial in philosophy.

- Kaixin. - Second...

You and Bai Qiao are roommates.

- What do you know? - You can also...

- Is she out a lot at night? - go for concretization.

What?

As a result...

Is she?

(Ethics before skills.) It’s dialectical.

So what if she is?

What’s that to do with you?

Science and philosophy...

- Wow! - As for the specialized sciences...

- Ask Qiyi if you don’t believe it. - and philosophy…

The former refers to...

(Person Rules) Be a good person

to be a good actor.

You should know ethics before skills.

That’s not always the case.

There are exceptions.

Yes or no?

- But philosophy... - Huh?

Well, it’s about

general laws of the whole world.

That’s what it is. So...

Yeah! Good job!

I thought we were acting!

Go on! Well done!

Go, go, go!

Come on!

Knock him down!

That’s right!

The first lesson in acting

is to liberate your nature.

And wrestling

happens to be a perfect method

to help you feel physical contact.

What are you doing?

Fang Yan,

run!

Stop! Stay where you are!

Don’t move!

Or you’ll get demerits!

Who’s in charge here?

Step forward!

Do it!

Run!

Fang Yan!

Get out!

Stop!

Stop there!

Come back! Stop!

Who tipped them off?

Stop!

I told you not to do it in the classroom.

And look what happened!

Stop complaining.

Without a venue,

we might have to close the club.

Is it that bad?

Yes, it is.

I...

Freshmen and sophomores take tomorrow’s acting class together.

Mr. Sun is leaving us for real.

(Gallery)

Joining us today

is Lin Wei from the School of Music.

OK.

Let’s start off

with some gentle exercises.

Are you playing Chinese chess?

OK.

What are you doing?

I...

I’m giving him advice.

And that is?

To play the Elephant.

No, I’m not doing that.

I’m going with the Horse.

He knows nothing.

I see. Not bad.

Think before you act.

We can’t stand here and do nothing.

Is Ms. Tang ignoring us?

Someone needs to talk to her.

Who will that be?

Don’t move.

- OK. - Ms. Tang.

Good.

That’s better.

Ms. Tang,

may I make a request?

What is it?

Ms. Tang.

Ms. Tang,

what the seniors are doing

have greatly inspired us.

So,

can we join them?

Is that what you want?

Yes!

Are you ready?

We are!

OK.

Cut!

Now, I want all of you

to be statues.

OK. Three, two, one.

Action!

Very well.

From now on, you can’t move.

Hold it for 10 minutes.

If you can’t, just sit down.

Don’t disturb the others.

Be quiet.

Statue is the must-have training

contrasting the control of your body

and the release of inner feelings.

It’s like silence music,

a mute cry from the heart.

I can’t do this anymore.

Be quiet.

Others are still in the zone.

Even when the music stops,

your body freezes,

your heart is still singing.

What’s up?

Are you Li Shuang, an art student?

Yeah.

Come with us.

It hurts, Mister!

Sanshang,

come and massage me.

Be gentle with me, Mister.

Help me up.

She’s worse than men.

That was sheer torture!

Come to think of it,

Mr. Sun is a little bit better than her.

Just a little bit?

He’s so much better!

Yet you cried like a baby in his class.

That’s right.

I was scared.

Let’s go.

May I have your attention, please?

I have something to say.

I’m sorry.

I owe you an apology.

You failed to attend morning exercises

due to my negligence.

I made a mistake there.

Yes, you did.

I went to see Mr. Sun

and apologized to him

but that wasn’t enough to get him back.

So I’m thinking

he’s expecting changes as a whole.

Like what?

Do you remember

what he said

in his first lecture?

I do.

Don’t be late. Dress properly.

No jewelry.

He couldn’t be set off

by this thing I’m wearing, could he?

It’s just a lucky charm.

Get to the point.

What do you want?

Mr. Sun once said,

“ethics before skills”.

He’s developed his own teaching style.

If we have questions about it,

it’s OK to ask him in class.

But we cut morning exercises,

talked back to him during practice

and went dancing all night.

All that has crossed the line.

Is there anything we can do to fix it?

A signed petition by all of us

to invite him back

together.

A signed petition?

Will it work?

I’ll sign it.

So will I.

Me too.

Objection!

It’s a waste of time.

Exactly.

There’s no harm in trying.

Qiyi, where’s the petition?

I’ll sign it now.

Me too.

Fine, whatever.

What’s up?

Fang Yan,

help!

Bail me out of the Police Office.

I got caught.

I see.

I’m on my way.

Sign this.

Not now.

Maybe later.

I know where he’s going.

Follow me.

(Student’s Signature: Fang Yan)

Don’t you guys know

there are cameras everywhere?

We won’t do it again.

You better not!

You’re allowed to have your own club,

but do your activities outside.

Classrooms are for studying only.

When you saw us, you tried to run away

and you bit me.

What were you thinking?

Not to mention those desks and chairs you broke.

We’ll pay for them.

I sense no remorse.

Listen,

the dean’s office will hear from us soon.

They’ll take it from there

and deal with you.

From now on,

all the classrooms

are off-limits to your club.

What to do?

(Police Office)

How did it go, man?

Our club

can no longer use any classrooms.

Who was that snitch?

Little Target Drama Club

is on the verge of collapse.

Is there any way to save it?

A public rehearsal room will do,

but it’s hard to find one.

Hello?

Is anyone here?

Hey, hey...

I knew you’d come around.

No, I...

Qiyi,

I sensed the vibe between us

the first time we met.

Look,

if you agree to be my disciple,

I’ll keep my promise

and shield you from the peach blossom curse.

Put this charm on your loved one

and you’ll be blessed.

But if you don’t...

“In the Peach Blossom Land there is a peach blossom plot.

A peach blossom lover lives in Peach Blossom Cot...”

I’ll do it.

You will?

Only if

you do me a favor.

I got demerits.

Who’d know

our small club

would get into such big trouble?

I should’ve been there.

If I had,

none of this would’ve happened.

My old man always says,

“a good gain takes long pain”.

Last night was only an accident.

Don’t worry too much.

Trust me.

I assure you

it won’t happen again.

Yeah.

And we get extra credits by joining the club.

It’s gonna take

a lot more than that

to cover my losses.

You can’t be on board

only for extra credits.

Your so-called club

doesn’t even have a rehearsal venue.

It’s a joke!

Not anymore!

Starting today,

Little Target Drama Club

has its own place.

(Petition Lu Qiyi Hao Kaixin Li Sanshang Fang Yan...)

It’s done!

Here you are.

What’s that on your neck?

Hi, Bai Qiao.

A dog bite.

Is that all you got for Mr. Sun?

What else could we do?

I got a better idea.

Come.

Let’s go.

Come on.

(Gentle and Pleasant Breeze) This time,

you’re doing down.

Or am I?

That’s mine!

Wait...

No taking back!

That’s the rule!

But... you...

You know it.

I didn’t see it coming.

(Fang Yan: Mr. Sun,)

(we’re waiting for you at the playground to prove ourselves.)

Zhang,

come with me.

It’s showtime on the playground!

Not interested.

You don’t wanna

miss out on all the fun!

Is this Fang Yan’s genius idea?

What’s he doing?

No pants!

Why didn’t you pick up?

to give a speech as the valedictorian

and I already said yes.
