I WANT TO CRAWL UP STEP BY STEP. WAIT FOR THE SUNSHINE TO SEE ITS FACE.

JAY CHOU, "SNAIL"

RADIO STATION

Mr. Zhou, we're still short of a student to write the broadcast article

for our radio station.

That girl is our Chinese class representative.

Her article is very well written.

Take a look.

Which one?

The one whose speech is inarticulate.

That girl...

If she wants to join, let her come back tomorrow.

All right.

Jiaze, we're still short of a student for the live broadcast.

Do you have any candidates to recommend?

I have a friend who likes music very much.

He's good at playing the guitar too.

But his guitar was confiscated by the dean.

If he can play the guitar at the radio station,

he should be happy to join.

The dean, right?

I got it.

Lan Tianye.

I haven't lectured you.

Instead of studying at school, you're playing guitar?

You can forget about your guitar.

-You can get it when you graduate. -Sir.

And don't think about getting it if you're not admitted to a college.

Come in.

Mr. Zhou Lin.

Is there a problem?

Sir, we need to do a music program at the radio station.

So, I'm here to ask

if there is any extra musical instrument at the school.

For instance, a guitar.

I happen to have one here.

You can take it to the radio station later.

That's great.

What are you looking at?

Aren't students supposed to come to school to study?

Your guitar will be placed at the radio station.

Mr. Zhou Lin will keep it for you.

Study hard. Do you hear me?

Here's the guitar. You can take it, okay?

Thank you, sir. I'll get going now.

Why are you still standing here?

Get back to study.

Mr. Zhou.

Lan Tianye.

Still thinking about your guitar?

Sir, this guitar is very important to me.

Unfortunately, you can't take the guitar.

But--

I told the dean that we need a guitar at the radio station.

So if you want to play the guitar, join the radio station.

With that, you'll get a place to play the guitar openly.

Join the radio station?

Well, if you want to join the radio station,

you need to pass the assessment too.

We'll be having a meeting at noon tomorrow.

Remember to come and join us.

Meili, wait for me.

Hurry up.

Su Cancan.

Are you looking for me? What's the matter?

There's a radio station meeting tomorrow. Mr. Zhou asked if you want to come.

Me?

Mr. Zhou heard that you're good at writing compositions.

So he would like you to write a broadcast article for us.

All right.

Why are you still standing there? I've been waiting for you.

Mr. Zhou asked me for a meeting at the radio station tomorrow.

He praised me and said my article is well written.

Do you think Lin Jiaze told him?

I told you, right? Come on.

RADIO STATION

Why are you here?

Why do you keep showing up everywhere?

That's you. Not me.

What are you doing here?

What a pain in the ass.

Say that again!

What a pain in the ass.

-You-- -You came.

That's right.

I came.

You really do want to go home with me.

Hi.

Hi.

Let's go.

I'm very happy that all of you can join the radio station.

This is the first meeting for the radio station.

From today onwards, we'll be a group.

I hope everyone can grow together with the radio station.

In the past, the main function of the radio station is to play music,

recite poetry and prose.

But I think since we have established the radio station,

we should do something different.

So, I'll assign a task to everyone.

What is it?

The theme selection and planning of the first program.

Su Cancan, Lan Tianye, and Xu Meili.

This is also your assessment to join the radio station.

Haven't we been enrolled?

That was just an interview.

Program planning is the real assessment.

Su Cancan and Lan Tianye, both of you are in a team.

Xu Meili, you're in a group with Lin Jiaze and Tao Yating.

You can add something interesting to their show.

If you pass the assessment,

you will officially become a member of the radio station.

Sir, I will work hard.

Looking forward to seeing your work. Keep it up, guys.

-Well, sir, we'll get going then. -All right.

-Goodbye, sir. -Goodbye, sir.

Goodbye.

Classical music is a huge topic.

I plan to start with a musical instrument.

We can add some musicians' stories, and experiences in it.

K331.

It has quite a high penetration rate.

What is K331?

The Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major by Mozart.

The third movement.

It's Turkish Rondo.

Could Lan Tianye have secretly sneaked home?

Why is there a guitar here?

Don't touch my guitar.

This is your guitar?

You can play guitar?

What is it?

I am here to discuss the program for the radio station.

Mr. Zhou asked us to work together to complete the task as a test for us.

Don't you want to join the radio station?

I can do it myself.

Why are you still collecting the candy wrappers?

I'm just short of two colors.

Look. I've been collecting them for a long time.

How's your preparation with the radio station program?

You don't seem to be anxious.

Don't mention it.

It's all because of someone.

There is nothing I can do.

So, I could only do something else to divert my attention.

What about you? How's your preparation?

I don't understand a single thing that they were discussing.

Meili.

Do you think that we'll be able to get into the radio station?

I guess so.

Of course we can.

-Rise-- -No need.

In order to improve everyone's literature quality,

each student will paraphrase an ancient poetry as an extracurricular.

Content is decided by drawing lots.

Let's do it according to sequence of the student number.

First person.

Lan Tianye.

Lan Tianye, we have to submit the article in two days.

We have nothing now.

Do you have any ideas?

We can discuss the theme for the radio station program.

Step aside.

I won't. Don't you want to join the radio station?

I won't give way if you don't come to a conclusion with me today.

You can play guitar and I can write the article.

It's called a combination of our skills like a match made in heaven.

I do not mean that...

I won't be a drag on you.

I have come up with two plans. Would you like to take a look?

Lan Tianye.

The theme...

Folk song, youth, dream.

What else?

Darn it, Lan Tianye.

You got into my way and ruined my youth!

No way.

For Lin Jiaze's sake, I must join the radio station.

Do you want to eat it?

Take it away.

Try it. It's delicious.

Eat up.

How is it? Is it delicious?

-Well, let's talk about the radio-- -Tell me about this poem.

It's your turn today?

Which one did you get?

Beating The Drums?

I really like this poem.

"Be it in life or death, we'll stay together.

This is the promise we made."

Isn't it beautiful?

Why do girls like love and romance?

It's not.

This is about the brotherhood in the battlefield.

Beating The Drums is a war-themed poetry.

The meaning of these two sentences is that when the war comes,

the soldier bids farewell to his comrade, and promises to die together.

Today is our first day of the paraphrasing of ancient poetry.

Let's give Lan Tianye an applause

to explain the poem, Beating The Drums.

All the best.

Lan, well done.

Did someone teach you?

Lan Tianye, since you want to play the guitar,

we might as well use the guitar as a musical theme.

This is the music theme that I came up with. Take a look.

Can you give me this candy wrapper?

I'm only short of blue.

Keep the trash.

-Where's the notebook? -What?

You wanted to discuss the theme, right?

Beyond's Secret Police.

I used a highlighter to circle one of the songs.

I said "I Like You."

Why are you leaving?

You should just do it yourself.

Why are you like this?

You're breaking your promise. You just promised me earlier.

Don't you have a sense of collective honor?

Cancan, don't go.

You're on duty for cleaning today.

No sense of collective honor at all.

MUSIC ROOM

I UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE IS A SERIES OF FAILURES.

I can write it myself.

Good morning. Is Mr. Zhou here yet?

Can't you see it for yourself?

Are you going to play the guitar?

-You're so annoying. -We are in a team.

Have you figured out what to play?

We can't hand in two different works.

Mind your own business.

This is the song that I wrote together with the music.

Play it.

If Mr. Zhou asks, tell him that we did it together.

You know how to compose music?

I don't. I heard others playing it.

This song is really nice.

I will hum it for you.

How is that? Is it nice?

Where did you hear it?

I heard it when I passed by the music room the other day.

Misusing others' works without permission.

How is that misuse? This is a pop song.

I think someone was practicing in the music room.

What's the matter? Do you know the singer of this song?

You think this song is good?

The melody is really good. It's unforgettable.

Give it to me.

-What is it? -The lyrics.

You're willing to play the song?

Both of you are quite enthusiastic.

You're early. Are you ready?

Yes.

I'll give you a few minutes to practice. Perform it later.

Have you seen the note? Do you want to practice? What if you make a mistake?

-It won't go wrong. -Don't be so arrogant.

-I was the one who composed it. -What?

It's our song.

Can you stop taking advantage of me?

I didn't expect that the music was composed by you.

Thanks to you, I could join the radio station.

You wrote the lyrics.

That's right. How was it? Not bad, right?

It was all right.

Are you eating candies?

Give me one.

You have so many!

It's beautiful.

How was it? Is it nice?

Cancan.

I recently discovered a new singer.

His name is Jay. His album is good.

-You mean Jay Chou? -That's right.

My dad says his albums are selling well.

Many people came to ask for it.

But I just can't quite understand his lyrics.

It doesn't matter as long as it's nice.

I predict that he'll be very famous in the future.

Help to bring me Jay's album.

Who is Jay?

You don't know who Jay is?

It's Jay Chou.

He says, Aiyo, Not Bad.

Forget it. She doesn't know him.

It's my first time seeing you listening to pop music.

Only a little girl like Su Cancan would like to listen to it.

Are you not a little girl too?

How do you feel?

These pop music come with album packaging

to compose the music and lyrics.

What's the use of listening to it all day?

If they can put half of their effort on their studies,

they will not end up ranked last.

You are a child yourself, and you're worried about others now?

I am not a child.

Only kids would say such a thing.

The style of exam questions has changed this time.

History, geography, and politics are comprehensive liberal arts exam.

Physics, chemical, and biology are comprehensive science exam.

Full scores are 300 points.

So, you must allocate your exam time properly.

-It's 300 points? -It's 300 points?

Be quiet!

This is the first mock exam.

And it will be used for academic streaming.

So, the results are extremely important.

I hope all of you can do your best.

And I don't want any students

to lean towards a specific stream.

Will you choose science or liberal arts?

Whatever.

Your science score is good. You'll surely choose the science stream.

Can I only study for language?

What is that?

It's Chinese and English.

I'm bad at history and geography.

A paper with 300 points?

I don't know if I can finish writing it.

This mock exam drives people crazy.

If I don't relax, I will jump from here.

-It has started. -It has started.

It has started.

You are watching a movie?

The new disc that they rented.

The blockbuster that was released two months ago.

Really? What movie is that?

You will know after watching it.

Come on.

Why is the music so strange...

Su Cancan, this is just the beginning.

You haven't seen the scariest part.

When the film was released in the theater,

it is said that someone was scared to death.

Watch out!

Lan Tianye!

Behind you.

Don't lie to me. I won't believe it.

What are you doing?

I heard that there was a scary incident at our class yesterday.

Is it true that there was a ghost?

It was worse than that.

Tell me about it.

They said that you saw it. What did you see?

I dare not think about it.

Tell me about it.

What do they look like?

Do they look just like in the movie?

-Male or female? -A female.

-What color clothes? -White.

What else?

After that,

she called me to the office.

And I have to write a review of 3,000 words.

Su Cancan, I realized that you have a talent.

What is it?

You can perfectly avoid all the correct answers.

Thank you for your compliment.

Don't look.

"The strike back does not need to be reviewed."

What is this?

When you are in the exam, take a red pen and give yourself a score while doing it.

When the teachers mark the paper,

they will think it has been checked and they will skip it.

Cancan, what about this?

The suicide method.

You hang yourself before the exam.

One will see their life in a flashback when they are dying.

When you recall the content of the textbook, jump out at once.

That helps you to remember the textbook content.

What are you laughing at? It does make some sense.

Nonsense.

RADIO STATION

We will have an examination tomorrow. It feels like I know nothing.

If I fail mathematics again, my mom will beat me to death.

What's the saying?

"Choose the shortest among the long options,

and the longest among the short options."

Choose B if there is no difference. Choose D if it's uneven.

Mainly rely on copying, and support with wild guesses.

With that combination, you will surely pass.

I am being serious.

So am I.

Well, 70 percent of the papers are basic questions.

Allocate your time during the exam.

Skip the difficult questions.

It's not a problem to pass the exam then.

Really?

The last two questions

is either a number series or a trigonometric function.

Write down the formula. You can score at least two points.

It's better than your suicide method.

Suicide method?

Well, the formula...

MATHEMATICS

CHEATING IN EXAM IS FORBIDDEN

I'll read the name.

Come and collect your monthly test paper.

Wang Xueyu.

The score is 132 points.

Zhao Mingchang, 112 points.

Su Cancan.

Su Cancan, do you know what's the average score of our class?

Look for yourself.

Your score is even lower than Wu Dong's.

Revise the questions that you got wrong. Hand it over to me after self-study.

I have taught all these in the class, but you still couldn't score this.

What did you do during class?

Why are you still standing here? Go back to your place.

It's fine. I'm definitely worse than you.

Shen Qingyuan.

122 points.

Wait up!

The homework.

The homework.

-I will hand it in myself later. -All right.

I saw you were at this question during the morning exercise.

How long has it been? Are you still at it?

Sometimes, I am really curious what your brain is made of.

Well, take a good look, and see what it's made of.

Don't just keep quiet.

That makes me very nervous.

Don't give up on me.

Are you...

an idiot?

It's such an easy question, and it takes you so long?

Why are you scolding me?

This question is weird.

Don't find an excuse for your stupidity.

What should I do then?

Look.

You actually solved it.

Lan Tianye, I couldn't tell.

You sleep all day, but you're quite good.

Have you received your scores?

I said it before.

This achievement is an important reference for academic streaming.

In order to let parents know about your condition,

we will hold a parent meeting this Friday afternoon.

-Not again? -Not again?

Keep quiet. This parent meeting is very important.

Everyone's parents must be present.

Otherwise...

I'll have to pay you a visit at home.

Are you serious?

Mom, Dad.

Let me tell you something.

-This Friday-- -A parent meeting?

Ask your dad to go.

How did you know?

Your uncle called me.

Your aunt and him are very busy.

One of us needs to go to the parent meeting for Tingting.

You're only concerned about your family. Don't you care about your own daughter?

You can go.

In the past years, you're the one who attended the parent meeting.

The teachers know you.

Old rules. I will go with Tingting.

Tingting and Cancan are in the same school and in the same grade.

Each time after the parent meeting, my brother came out with a smile.

This teacher mocked me so badly that I wish I could hide myself.

This time, I want to try how it feels to be envied by other parents.

I want it too.

Am I really your biological child?

Just kidding.

I will surely attend my daughter's parent meeting.

Dad, don't worry.

You'll surely be proud this time.

I got full marks for my English composition.

I have high scores in Chinese.

At that time, my teacher will surely say,

"Su Cancan's parents did well in raising their daughter."

That's great.

That's great.

Right, Dad.

At that time,

don't talk too much with my deskmate's parents.

He'll suffer an emotional shock.

You have no idea that his grades for English and Chinese

can be described as tragic.

I won't say it.

Look how kind our daughter is.

Really? His grades are so poor?

How can you sit with him?

It's your sophomore year of high school. What if he influences your grades?

It's arranged by the teacher.

No, I have to talk to your teacher.

Even Mencius' mom moved three times.

-That's right. -The environment is vital.

That's right.

Dad, our class monitor's grades are good.

His name is Lin Jiaze.

And not only he has good grades, he can also play the piano.

If I can sit with him,

not only my academic performance will improve,

there might be a huge improvement in my personality traits.

Nonsense.

I'll be thankful to God if you can improve your grades.

Eat up.

Go and study after that.

Tianye.

You really don't plan to ask your parents to come?

You're so annoying.

I know what's troubling you.

Your parents will force you to take the science stream.

Your parents are not against you.

You are asking for it if you take liberal arts given your results.

Given your temper, they'll surely go along with you.

I think you can find someone to disguise as your dad.

If you're lucky, it might go well.

Otherwise, if Ms. Huang goes to your house, you'll be screwed.

That's a good idea.

But there is still one problem.

If my parents are here, your cover will be blown.

It's going to get really ugly for you.

Forget it then.

Come on.

You're too pessimistic.

There is only one way then.

I will find an imposter parent too.

Jiaze.

This is not your style.

It's too absurd.

I have no choice.

Only these two among those players who lost to us are free.

-Which one do you pick? -Which one do you pick?

-The baldie is for you. -The baldie is for you.

Have him to pass off as my dad?

Only a fool like Su Cancan will believe it.

Just tell them you inherit your mom's gene.

Well, my mom is Maggie Cheung then.

Take a close look.

The baldie looks quite reliable.

I've taken a close look.

Actually, he looks like you.

But his cold personality is more like you.

But I still want to leave the good stuff for you.

Since he is so brilliant,

let's have a fair competition then.

The winner gets him.

I won't be able to accept it if I lose to you.

Where are your parents? Still not here yet?

That's right. It's late already.

I need to check it out.

Girl.

Do you know

which class is Lan Tianye in?

Lan Tianye?

Grade 10, Class 1.

That classroom.

All right. Got it.

Girl.

Sir.

Do you know which class Lan Tianye is in?

Grade 10, Class 1.

All right. Thanks.

Hi, sir.

Where is Grade 10, Class 1?

Over here.

Hi, you're a parent for the student in Grade 10, Class 1?

That's right.

Do you usually attend the parent meeting?

In elementary school.

I'm usually busy with work.

I've never been to a parent meeting.

Do you know if I need to take note of anything for the parent meeting?

I don't think so.

How is your kid's grade?

Not bad.

What are you worried about?

I don't even know how my kid perform.

Let's go.

-Hi, sir. Whose parent are you? -Hi, sir. Whose parent are you?

-Lan Tianye. -Lan Tianye.

Tianye.

Lan Tianye!
