What about now?

Gentle and Pleasant Breeze In your face!

You’re going all out, aren’t you?

Chess game is like teaching.

Sometimes,

when you think you’re losing it,

one right move

might change everything.

Similarly,

with proper guidance,

even those troublemakers

will shine in their own way.

Zhang,

you’re unusually chatty today.

I’ve been thinking about

our new students this year.

Those kids

ran laps half-naked in public,

and they went straight to see Huang Bo

when their friend had to quit school.

Fang Yan surprised me most

because he never gives up.

Few in their generation

know exactly

what they want.

Agreed.

But Lu Qiyi is one of them.

That young lady

is as persistent as your generation.

Actually, she reminds me of Li Xun.

Those kids all have their dreams.

And you?

What about yours?

It can’t be

playing chess with an old man

for the rest of your life, right?

Yeah?

Bravo!

OK. Gather round!

Today’s training is very productive.

Take five

and do it one more time, OK?

Sure.

I’ll be right back.

Where are you going?

To thank Mr. Sun.

OK. Go ahead.

Hi.

Don’t bring us snacks

next time.

You’re always welcome here.

It’s nothing.

Fang Yan.

Let’s talk outside.

See you.

Qiyi.

Yeah?

Have you convinced your folks?

Not yet.

They need to see how well I can do.

But first,

I gotta pass the make-up exam.

Oh, no, sorry,

I almost forgot.

Those who missed exams would get an F.

What?

Why?

Most seniors skipped exams

for their shooting

and that drove the Dean so mad

that he said whoever didn’t show up

would all get an F. No make-ups.

Uh...

I’ll go talk to Mr. Sun.

He can’t help you with that.

Then...

Then I’ll go see the Dean.

Yep, he’s the one in charge.

By the way,

Fang Yan was a no-show, too.

You two can go to his office together.

I understand

your situation,

but

the school has made it clear

that if you missed the exam,

you failed it.

Is there

nothing I can do?

I see.

Thank you, sir.

I’m sorry for the trouble.

Hey.

Hold on.

Come here.

What do you think of Mr. Sun?

Mr. Sun?

I mean, do you want him

to be a director?

Here’s the thing.

He had quite a career in directing

before coming here to teach.

We’ve always hoped

that he’ll pick up his old job.

You kids are his students.

Maybe he’ll listen to you.

Try to talk to him

to come back to the industry.

He wouldn’t listen to us

but he cares nothing more than his students,

especially your class.

Look,

if you

manage to talk him into doing it,

I’ll arrange

your make-up.

Really, sir?

OK.

Yeah?

Deal.

Deal.

Qiyi, how have you been?

Any progress with Mr. Sun?

Keep in touch, girl.

Li Xun,

we need to talk.

Du Ang.

There you are.

What do you think?

Pretty cool, huh?

Is that iron setting enough

for you to say “I like you, Qiyi”?

Of course not.

More stuff is on the way.

You know what?

I’m gonna sing to Qiyi

right outside

this iron gate

where we first met.

Awesome!

Hey,

she’s still in the dark, isn’t she?

Trust me, dude.

I’m good with secrets.

Zimo,

I have a difficult job for you,

that is, to be my camera girl.

This grandstanding

is very your style.

No doubt.

Whatever.

I know you’re envious and jealous.

What’s up?

I wanna have my bandage removed.

I’ll go to the Health Center with you.

Du Ang,

we’re gonna take her bandage off.

Be right back.

OK.

I can go with you.

No, you can’t!

Zimo,

you’re sweet and nice.

I need you for behind-the-scene shots.

OK. Give this iron gate a close-up.

Come with me.

Let’s reproduce that scene.

You know what Qiyi was doing when I saw her?

She was like this,

sitting... over the gate.

Legs spread,

facing this side.

Here you are, Mr. Sun.

No, thanks.

That’s too kind of you.

I don’t need it.

Like a drink from your colleague

would ruin you as a director.

Who says I’m gonna be a director?

You aren’t?

Everyone is saying it.

It’s a great opportunity

and you’ll be working with that A-Lister, Li Xun.

Ms. Tang,

that’s false information.

I won’t direct.

Honestly,

we kind of hope you’ll do it.

I always believe

you have what it takes

to be a director.

Ms. Tang,

what makes you think that?

Didn’t you direct that...

Ms. Tang,

I’ll take your drink.

It’s about time

for your class.

I’m going.

Mr. Sun,

I always tell my students

that if you love what you’re seeing,

then fight for it.

Grab the chance,

or it’ll be too late to regret.

I know.

Alright. Forget about that.

I’ve said enough.

See you after class.

Fang Yan?

Ms. Tang.

Are you here to see Mr. Sun?

Not exactly.

I should go.

Wait!

You got a minute later?

Li Xun.

How did it go?

You didn’t know

it’d be that hard to convince him, did you?

I know him all too well.

He’s stubborn as a mule

all these years.

He doesn’t

listen to anyone.

Unless

he opens his heart to others,

no one can go near it.

Li Xun,

I don’t get it.

You’ve talked to him

and so have the others.

Even the Dean asked me to try it.

We all want so bad

for him to be a director again.

Why is he against the idea so firmly?

I don’t know

if you have looked into him.

Well,

with new info popping up every day,

old news about him must’ve been buried deep on the Internet.

Back in the day,

when he first appeared

as a new director in the industry,

he was in luck

that his very first work was a success.

After that, investors fought for him

to direct their films.

He waited and waited.

Finally, he could do a film he liked.

He asked his friend,

a rising star, in person

to be the lead.

Sadly,

during the filming,

something happened.

Mr. Sun,

at this point,

only your students can help you.

Watch out!

What are you doing here?

Eyes on the road.

Or you could get hit.

Why are you here?

To look for someone.

Just focus on your thing.

I certainly will.

Hey!

Why are you following me?

I’m not.

I’m in front of you the whole time, no?

I don’t care who you’re here to see,

but from now on,

stay away from me

and I’ll do the same to you.

I’m going...

I’m going that way.

Are you sure?

100 percent sure!

Go ahead.

You first.

Hey!

What do you want?

I can explain.

We’re looking for the same person.

How do you know that?

Ms. Tang told me.

Du Ang: I’m gonna make a big move tonight!

Du Ang: Qiyi, meet me at the iron gate at 8:00 PM! It’s important!

Qiyi: OK.

May God of Wealth bring us fortune. Guests are always welcome.

Who are you here for?

- Mr. Lu Tao. - Mr. Lu Tao.

Are you here together?

- No. - Yes.

Do you know each other?

- No. - Yes.

Who is it?

How can I help you?

Come in.

Dean.

What’s up?

It’s you.

That’s too polite of you to knock.

Take a seat.

Thanks.

What can I do for you?

Read this first.

What is it?

Your student,

Li Sanshang’s application for a grant,

has been signed off.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I owe you one.

Me?

Not me.

You should thank Ms. Tang.

She fought hard for you.

Ms. Tang?

Yeah.

Uh...

She...

Why...

My iron leg

has already started to miss side kicks,

back kicks and spin kicks.

Even when the bandage is off,

it’s still too soon to kick anyone in any way.

Treatment Room

I’m gonna remove your bandage.

Wait.

Can we... can we take a rain check?

A rain check?

No, I’m afraid.

Besides,

you can’t wear the bandage too long.

Xiaoyu is right.

Let her take it off.

I’m doing it.

All done.

So, Sanshang,

is she your girlfriend?

What?

She...

Yeah.

He’s sweet and caring.

Good to know.

By the way,

be careful when you walk

without the bandage.

Are you upset?

Why should I be?

Don’t get me wrong.

I only said that

to get back at her for you.

It didn’t mean anything.

I know.

Hey,

Xiaoyu,

have you made your decision?

Yeah.

I have.

So?

I don’t like you.

Wait!

Why?

There’s no reason.

Think again.

You...

Please!

Jiang Xiaoyu,

I will make you mine!

Ms. Tang.

Yeah?

Let’s grab a bite together.

Yeah... sure.

Where to?

What do you think?

This place

isn’t too bad, yeah?

I didn’t know

they had such a quiet place in town.

There you are.

Let me introduce you to each other.

Ms. Tang, my coworker at school.

The owner of this bar,

Mr. Fu.

Hello.

Nice to meet you, Ms. Tang.

Mr. Fu,

the usual three, please.

Got it.

Have a seat.

Enjoy yourselves.

Thanks.

How do you feel?

Do you like this place?

Yeah.

It’s quite nice.

Ms. Tang,

taste it.

No.

You’re doing it wrong.

Look at me.

Watch and learn.

Your turn.

Is it good?

Now, I see

why you did three shots together.

It’s too small for a cup.

One shot barely gave you anything.

And you only got the taste after three of them.

Ms. Tang,

you’re clever.

Sometimes,

films and drinks are alike.

They can both get you drunk.

“Of all the gin joints,

in all the towns in all the world...

She walks into mine”.

Casablanca!

To the classic!

I’m surprised that you like it, too.

Try the food.

Pick it up.

Yeah?

Mr. Sun,

Fang Yan... Fang Yan is in danger!

What?

Fang Yan!

Hey!

He’s there!

Fang Yan,

get down!

You could die!

Get off now!

Sir,

what happened to Lu Tao was an accident.

You would’ve stopped him

if you had been there.

But nobody saw that coming

or could prevent it beforehand!

It wasn’t your fault!

Sir!

Mr. Sun!

We know why you quit directing.

But that thing happened a long time ago.

Why can’t you

put it behind and move on?

Is this all part of your plan?

Are you in it, too?

What the hell are you up to?

What do you know?

Do you have any idea how it feels

to have someone crippled permanently

and see a rising star fall forever

because of that?

You don’t!

But I do!

Because I caused all that!

I’m a sinner!

Who are you to tell me to move on?

Do you have the right to lecture me?

Yeah.

They don’t.

But do I?

Tao...

You’ve refused to see me

over the years.

I’ve let go of the past

but clearly, you haven’t

and you’re using it to torture yourself.

Now that we’re here,

can we have a heart-to-heart?

I’ve never blamed you

for what happened.

Never ever.

Back then,

even if you hadn’t asked me,

I would’ve jumped again

until we got the perfect shot.

Have you

forgotten about our dream?

That we’d never

give up on the pursuit of art no matter what.

But...

But you didn’t follow through.

You left your career and everything for me.

It’s time to come back and pull yourself together,

you hear?

I’m so sorry!

I really am!

Don’t ever give up your passion again.

True friends

will always

have each other’s backs.

I know you can do it.

Thanks. Thank you, everyone.

Thanks a lot.

Let’s go get them some water.

Hurry!

OK.

Kaixin,

can you text Qiyi?

Copy that.

So, how are you doing?

Pretty good.

I drink fine, eat fine

and sleep fine.

But, hey,

if you still see me as your friend,

then take this film

and do your best.

Tao...

I’m not

gonna be a director again.

I know you best.

When I just learned

about my leg,

I was devastated.

Truth be told,

I even considered suicide.

But then it hit me

that we’re all actors,

playing various roles

in our life.

At first,

I could play my role standing,

walking,

running,

jumping,

and whatnot.

But then,

my storyline changed

and so did the given situation

that I could only be in a wheelchair

or use walking sticks.

But all that was fine.

Art for art’s sake.

I had to accept the change of fate.

Even if I couldn’t be up again,

I had to continue playing my role

to perfection.

And,

do you know why?

Because I hate to

lose my faith again.

Despite my physical disability,

I can still be a good actor.

But look at you.

You threw away

your faith

and years-long dream over my broken leg.

Is it really worth it?

Is it?

I poured out my heart to you,

but you still feel nothing.

In that case,

I guess I’ll have to beg you.

I’ll do it.

If that’s what you need.

I’m...

standing up to beg you.

Tao... Don’t...

Will you do it or not?

What are you doing?

Be careful, Tao!

Yes or no?

Stop it!

Tao...

Will you do it or not?

I’ll do it!

I’ll do it, man!

You will?

I’ll direct that film.

I heard that.

Yes, that’s right.

You’re a man.

Every word you say counts.

A promise is a promise.

It is. Sit back.

- Come on! - Sit.

Drink up!

Du Ang: It’s late. Let’s meet some other day.

Sorry,

the subscriber you dialed is powered off.

Sorry...

Congrats

on the success of your club.

Thanks.

You sound awfully cold

given that we had so much fun together

back in the old days.

We did

but the past is the past.

Fang Yan,

I’m not asking for too much

except for better treatment

when we’re together.

Could you at least treat me as a friend?

I could.

Could you do the same?

Please

don’t do such things for me again.

Fang Yan,

I like you.

I was drawn to you when we first met.

Don’t you have any feelings for me?

I’m sorry.

I’m in love with someone else.

Are you OK?

Why did you drink so much?

I’m fine.

Bai Qiao,

what happened?

Is something bothering you?

Why don’t you go take a shower?
