Original subtitles

Ke!

No need to dance today.

Just strip naked and lay on that cross.

Quick!

Yang Ke, come on.

The round one.

The square one.

Have you found it?

“A flower is an universe. A leaf is a Buddha”.

Sister Yin!

Sister Yin.

What's the hurry? I have a lifetime for you.

His father passed away before he was born.

He may have reincarnated as this child.

He is still by your side, so no need to be sad.

His father has passed him the discounted fortune.

You are the only one I trust.

You won't cheat me, right?

The group leader just disappeared like that?

None of you got a single penny back?

You got totally ripped off.

Fellow countryman, let's be partners.

I wanted to quit this job ages ago

I can be your agent.

Let's split the profit 30/70. You 70 and me 30.

You are talented and I am well connected.

My friend is after a model for a wedding gown photoshoot.

He needs to be tall, wealthy looking and gorgeous.

Tall, wealthy, gorgeous...

Go away!

Claf!

Lie down!

I quit!

I don't want the money

I said I couldn't do it

I will pay any compensation, just let me go!

Let him go please.

Shut up!

He is my brother.

Leave the costume.

NOW"-

We don't have enough actors.

Pony, you take over.

Action!

“Outdoor nude model wanted”.

Half now, half after.

Be swift!

Strip naked and run down there.

Over there.

There.

Handsome, where do you come from?

Shandong.

No wonder you're so tall

I'm the only tall one in my family.

So many mosquitoes.

Now the shooting starts.

Turn your body a little.

A hand on your head.

Both hands now, and spread your legs.

Move your hand away.

Don't try to hide your dick.

Now sit down.

Open your legs wide.

Wider.

Kid you're really good looking.

You should be an actor.

I am a Beijing Opera performer.

But the theatre group went bankrupt.

We're owed half a year of wages.

Now I can't even pay my rent.

Touch your breast.

Let yourself look sexier.

That's much better.

Raise your ass.

Lean backward.

Now turn over.

Now turn over, hurry!

Now hold your genitals.

Grabbing it.

Don't cover it.

Just hold it.

That's gorgeous.

Thank you handsome, bye now!

Get famous sooner, and we'll publish your photo album then.

“Outdoor nude model wanted”.

Look, my friend bought this in Thailand.

Did you enjoy it?

This shot is a bit too long.

You went all the way!

Didn't it hurt?

It wasn't real, was it?

You haven't worn anything in the movie so far.

Finished!

That's hardly been 3O minutes...

Don't be mad.

Let me handle this.

Boss Xu.

Wang Qiang, what's up?

Eh...

You bastard!

What's the fuss?

All actors have to start from somewhere. Even superstars.

Boss Xu, that doesn't make sense.

We agreed to shoot art films only

Yang Ke is an artist after all

I say this is art.

Both the director and I graduated from Art Uni.

We have written hundreds of scripts since.

Only this genre attracts investors.

By the way

I am not the boss.

I am just an agent, a parasite like you.

You are such a conman!

What about Venice?

The film festival you promised?

You can't be still dreaming about that

it was just my...

There's no way we can get into such an elite film festival.

We can't even afford the travel expenses.

Be realistic, young man.

You ruined Ke's image.

You must compensate us.

Sure

I was about to call.

Actually, Ke should thank me.

Soon after the release.

Wealthy women came specifically for him.

I am gay!

Really? The male patrons have deeper pocket.

By the way.

Are you top or bottom?

Get a rope!

Can you do genuine sex?

You bastard!

Since all is void, where can the dust settle?

What are you looking at?

Never seen a big dick before?

Call the police.

How right the wall, how wrong the egg.

“The Venetian Macao”

“Amitabha Buddha”.

Did you hear what Xu Jin said?

So we are of the same idea!

I dare not to mention if you don't.

Once contaminated...

What I mean is, you are a big guy.

You can always choose what to or not to do.

Nobody can impose on you.

Let's get started.

The early birds will be rewarded.

Ke...

This is Abe, a hot hunk in the circle.

Only brother Yang Ke is the man of chivalry

I have watched your movie

I am a big fan.

Excuse me.

We “Prostitutes of Red House” are all gifted.

Singing, dancing, painting, calligraphing...

Let me introduce our five sects.

First...

Welcome!

Please take a seat.

Sir, please take a rest first and I will serve you tea.

Please have some tea.

Do you want the usual?

Yes, please.

Alright.

You can even speak Japanese?

We have customers from everywhere.

Homosexuality is illegal in Japan, as you know.

So they're very adventurous

I heard Japanese people are big spenders.

They are really generous and tip big.

How much in general?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Your feast is ready.

This is tough.

You have to stand the itch.

Also you can't be on duty having a cold, fever or cough.

You practiced Chinese opera for a long time.

The resilience should help.

How long does it take for a meal like this?

Usually 45 minutes.

Overtime will be charged.

There were customers waiting for so long that.

The model needed to take a piss.

And one guy requested to collect his urine.

And drank it like beer?

Special charge should apply.

What an experience.

The scar...

No way... I still need to appear on camera.

This kind of sex party is rare.

Sponsors are super rich.

Sometimes even known actors come doing real sex.

For five thousand US dollars each appearance.

Have you ever done this?

Not yet.

It's circulating that there will be a major event by year end.

In collaboration with a film company.

Never thought it could be you, big brother.

We're sorry.

Move! One by one.

Relax.

Then it will hurt less.

You sissy, be gross!

This ain't a love drama.

Mommy, where did I come from?

From my tummy of course.

Didn't you ask that before?

So what's daddy for?

You were made by something from daddy that got inside mommy.

What's that thing?

That's too quick.

Only ejaculation will be counted

ls daddy in hell?

I hope not.

He should have been reincarnated.

Teacher says all of us have to be tried in hell.

“Court 2: Prostitutes - Thrown into a pool of blood and drowned”

“Court 6: Possession of pornographic material - Body sawn into two”

“Court 8: Causing trouble for parents - intestines and organs pulled out”.

Teacher wants you to be a good child.

And grow up to be a good man.

I am scared of going to hell

I don't want to die.

Death isn't that scary.

Life can be like hell too.

Come chanting the “six syllable Mantra” together with mommy.

Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hum...

Next.

Sit.

Yes.

A small token of appreciation.

How delicate.

It breaks my heart to see you being used by the secular people.

Let me take care of you.

Everyday just wash and massage me.

No more than what you're usually doing to make a living.

I will soon stop having “periods”.

There's a lot I can't do even if I desire it.

Other than that.

Just accompany me on trips and for banquets.

Drive my luxury car.

Wear the latest I bought you from Milan.

Let my old buddies die of jealousy.

At home, clothing is purely optional.

Like David Hockney and his boyfriend Peter.

They even acted their affair in a film.

Regarding paintings.

My collection comprises nothing but unique items.

You love art.

When my time is up.

They're all yours!

Xu Jin, your turn!

So tight, how can I get in?

This good stuff is on me.

He may die! Let me take over!

Brother!

Brother.

Are you okay brother?

Ke, be strong.

You have to survive it.

I know it's too much for you.

But that's one thousand dollars each fuck.

We are much closer to the aim.

Forgive me.

Brother...

You should have followed their order.

We are not blood brothers anyway.

You are my brother in every sense of the word.

I couldn't do it even if I were gay.

That was my first time.

I rather I gave it to you.

Uncle is cooking now.

Let me check out mom.

Stay put.

Sis Yin will come over for her.

Don't worry.

Sis Yin will always be with you.

Your mother will wake up after she's had enough sleep.

Hello.

Yes, I am Yang.

I know that place

45 minutes later, right?

I'll be there.

You've recovered well.

There's a saying...

I read from a Sutra that...

The bodies of people who have achieved and practiced well in their lives...

may attain “Rainbow Body” upon their death.

They would then become transparent and disappear without a trace.

Not even a single hair is left.

What difference does it make when one is already dead?

Life is short.

Why bother wasting time on such senseless thoughts and studies?

All yours.

Hey

I am leaving.

Take care.

Call me when you are home.

I fell asleep.

No problem. We will arrive soon.

I won't vomit in your car.

It's your car.

I had a blue dream.

No. 1 in the chart this week is a new entry.

No wonder, it's Amanda!

Your new song.

Um.

Nice.

She also appears in SCUD's new film.

And this song is their collaboration.

The title? Tell you later.

Your face is familiar.

Are you an artist too?

I reckon

{Cloud, moon and the stars, party in the sky}

{The relentless tidal wave, is sleeping tight}

{Suddenly I feel my heartbeat rise}

{ln this otherwise serene night}.

What about your boyfriend?

Who?

Jacky.

You believe in that?

I believe in everything.

Let's drink.

You forgot how we came here.

You don't need to drive back, okay?

Apart from designated driving.

What other talents do you possess?

You wanna try?

Don't pester Ke.

What's wrong with brother Yang, mom?

You always pick on him.

He is...

cursed, somehow.

Superstitious!

Superstitious?

Everything is fated

I'll go take a shower.

I need to know.

What?

Whether you don't like girls.

Or you just don't like me?

Mom.

You left me behind.

Once you found the painless world?

At least you should tell me in my dream.

Mother...

Let's congratulate Yang Ke and his new bistro.

May they come into a good fortune!

“Once in a lifetime”.

Hey handsome, congratulations!

I've to excuse myself.

Bye!

Congratulations!

Thanks!

How have you been?

Thanks!

Long time no see!

Thanks!

Such a nice place.

Drink and eat more then.

Our superstar is reformed, congratulations!

Thanks.

Some appetizer first.

Frontstage and backstage, perfect partners.

You'll be rich in no time!

You know what?

The size of a man's dick is proportional to his nose.

How about those underwent plastic surgeries?

Don't be shy, fresh meat.

What is the reason for a man to live?

Not to die, I suppose.

Mother is gone and the money came.

How ironic.

She's never meant to wake up.

Don't torture yourself.

Live in the moment.

What is “in the moment”?

For all the fun and pleasure in the present.

We are materialists after all.

But you cannot carry anything over to your next life.

If I don't live long

I wanna leave all my money to Calf, Sister Yin and her daughter.

Oh, yes?

Sis Yin is the only friend of mother.

Calf is an orphan.

Maybe you can prepare me a will or something.

I am good at documentations.

Enjoy you meal.

Why not drink in our own bar?

Money is better kept in your own pocket.

This is where we had our first drink together, remember?

Oh yes.

Which year was that?

There is something I should tell you.

Remember the opening day of our bistro.

There's a Caucasian guy?

He was not with Abe's gang.

Hello

I'm Adonis

Daniel.

Nice to meet you.

Too many people. I can't recall.

I...

had a relationship with a man for the first time.

His country legalized gay marriage.

He's returning end of this year

I'll leave with him.

So I should congratulate you?

For all your taking care of me these few years

I can only return in the next life.

Bro.

I... have worn your shoes.

What is mine is yours.

Just take them.

Thanks bro.

I am going now.

Okay.

I am going too.

Thank you.

Thanks.

See you next time.

Is that you?

Um.

We're not in that business anymore.

Here is the time and venue.

No more than 2 hours.

Another five thousand after.

Okay.

This weirdo is making me uncomfortable.

Why don't we cancel it?

My days here are limited

I should earn more for you.

That day happens to be my birthday.

We can celebrate after.

Why do I have a doomed foreboding?

There is no contact number to call.

The show must go on.

Go with me if it concerns you so much.

Master

I want to ask about my luck in love.

Love?

Yes.

You look sick.

Maybe next time.

Mom.

The time is up.

What?

Forget it.

You have a date?

Yes.

So tonight...

Don't be late then.

Go, quick.

Alright.

Hey.

Enjoy the night.

No need to hurry back.

I was here before.

You know what to do, right?

Will you keep wearing this mask?

Who doesn't wear a mask?

Could you be part of the crew?

We originated far earlier than that.

Then treat me gentlier, bro.

It's my birthday today.

How old?

Thirty.

You... don't recognize me at all?

Happy birthday to me...

Happy birthday to...

Uncle!

Wang Qiang!

Beautiful, but what use if it won't last another minute?

Hold back.

I Will be swift.

Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hum...

Don't blame me.

Blame your fate!

Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hum...

Ke.

Sis Yin?

Ke, you are dead.

Let him go too.

Sis Yin.

So you died as well?

I am fated to be your company in your last trip.

Life can be like hell too.

When you woke up from the dream of death.

You must have seen many strange scenes?

Those were the doors to samsaras.

If it wasn't for your practice.

You might have been absorbed into one of them

I was afraid I wouldn't catch you.

BUt he...

Why?

What's incomprehensible in this life.

You may find the answers from your previous lives.

The elves you met in the bamboo forest...

were the illusions brought by your acquaintances in your previous life.

They're driving you to find out the truth.

Within the forty-nine days after death and before the reincarnation.

One would still live in his consciousness.

Without the restraint of a physical body.

One can go anywhere according to his will.

So there are bardos exactly as what mother said.

What you believe is what's real to you.

Is that hell?

It's human life.

As illusory as the dream and the bubble.

As momentary as the dew and the lightning.

I thought that was the punishment for something I have done

I know you have been a sex worker.

I would hardly call pleasing yourself and others wrong doings

Karma doesn't necessarily dawn in the present life anyway.

Is it the heaven?

It's human life too.

Why am I here?

This is Thailand.

In one of your previous lives you were the monk who built the monastery.

It should be his karma that led you here.

That's why mother said I would enjoy a long and fulfilling life.

However...

I lied to her.

You are the only one I trust.

You won't cheat me, right?

By the time you were born

I could already tell you wouldn't live beyond 3O.

If it is all fated.

What's point with trying so hard in our lives?

You're an actor, right?

Every movie inevitably must come to an end.

Would you not try to give your best performance because of that?

Even if it's a 3O minute short film, right?

If you dive into Calf's anus now.

You may follow his sperm and reincarnate to be his son.

Shall we name him Ke?

Um.

Ke, call me papa.

Ke.

There seems to be no heaven.

And no judgment day.

The present is good enough though.

Wang Qiang.

I suppose you are fifty, right?

Boss.

You have perfect memory.

Which means.

When I was your age.

The two of us were like...

you and your poor compatriot countryman.

Such a divine boy.

Outlived by us...

Shameless, ugly old creatures.

Why are we talking about that?

Who have you been pretending to.

Up until this age?

Making money is fine.

But by taking a young life like that?

Now I know how he felt.

How old are you?

Iam18

lam31.

Me 25

lam41

lam19

lam 33

lam 22

lam 20.

Have you thought about.

How you would be like when you're 30?

30...

Little difference I guess.

Naive as now.

I have a thought that I might not live beyond 3O

I was doing the same job.

As the role just assigned.

A masseur.

An actor.

Always an actor

I was hoping for acting.

A film by a good director.

In Maldives with my loved one.

Have earned enough to open a coffee shop in my country

I'm still a bit far from 30.

So I am not thinking about that yet.

Gradually I found that we will grow up.

We will be aged.

Something will never be the same again.

If I can turn back the clock for 5 years.

Even if only 3 years.

Before 30, I felt that I'd never been to myself.

And now I really want to find the genuine me deep in my heart.

Today has been very exciting

I've not slept for nearly 2 days.

It's an actor's dream to be in an art movie.

My first ever sex scene.

Experience of a lifetime.

In front of so many people, what a feeling

I felt super honored about doing this.

Maybe when I look back when I were 40, 5O.

Today would have been an unparalleled experience

I am already reflecting on all these shooting days

I know I will miss it badly.

If you were Yang Ke today.

Would you find the experience a pleasure or a torture?

Pleasure I suppose

I think it's a torture.

I can sense both.

A paradox.

Paradox?

YUP

I've hardly been so tense, even horrified.

It's like a dungeon I wanted to escape from.

It's so foreign and uncomfortable that...

I would be too paranoid to act

I am not up to that yet.

What is sex?

Sex...

Sex...

Satiated or not, fulfilled or not.

It's the passion of my life.

So do you feel that you've found yourself from this career?

I've not been acting.

Actually I'm being myself

I've always perceived myself a product.

Life is a different film than what we act.

As actors, we learn from everything we act.

The door of life is suddenly wide ajar.

Taking part in this project means a lot to me.

Actually one is unique.

So you just have to understand this, and look to yourself first.

Inside yourself, and.

When you realize this, that's the awakening.

Sometimes we shouldn't think too much.

Just go along with it and see what happens next.

There may be a villain living in my subconsciousness.

It's a fantasy, like eating someone alive.

When you see the movie

I think you gonna understand better things that.

We do have in our mind that we just pretend it's not there.

Create your own value.

Either from your intelligence, your physique, or your artistry.

No matter what, I always give it all and go all the way.

The show must go on.

As actors.

Even if we're asked by the director to eat the shit, come what may
