Original subtitles

I heard you're issuing a challenge?

Don't come if you're scared of losing.

You're The Clowns? You do look like ugly clowns.

Encore...

That's Letian?

He's young!

He's the leader of Encore. He started dancing when he was 12.

Not bad.

The one with the hat's Wangzi, choreographer extraordinaire.

Without him,

there's nothing much to Letian and the others.

The one on the side is his girlfriend, Hongxiu.

Who's the cool one?

Peter, Encore's second-in-command.

He's good enough to form his own group,

but he's danced with Letian for eight years,

willing to play second fiddle.

What about the two identical girls?

They're really good. They can memorise others' moves...

just by watching once.

Like magic? What are their names?

Momo and Coco.

What about the others?

The little black guy is Zhongma, the tall one's Tian Feng.

The gold-haired one's Bozai, the plump one's Roujiamo.

All talented street dancers.

So all my men are just for show.

Isn't my bracelet nice?

Not as nice as mine.

It's better than yours.

Did I look cool just now?

How many girls were looking at me? Say something.

None...

I didn't ask you.

None at all...

Hi, Peter.

They're saying hi to Peter too!

I heard them! You're not as handsome as I am.

Big Bro, there're two girls staring at you!

I see...coming.

Handsome...

I'll go have a meeting.

They're looking at Peter too.

Coco, did you remember the moves?

No problem.

- Alright. - Come on.

Letian, you made me lose face.

How'd I know they'd dance so badly?

This is not over.

I'll make it up to you, alright?

We're eco-friendly!

Buddy, don't feel bad.

Why steal out moves?

Are you blind? Your moves are so ugly!

Are you trying to pick a fight?

Alright!

Show time...

Give me a beat.

Letian, you have classes today.

Why aren't you here?

I want to sleep.

The girls are so beautiful.

Sis Li.

Whose car is that outside?

It's a female student's.

She's a talented Latin dancer.

For inspiration?

I don't know...ask her yourself.

Alright.

Hello.

Aren't you changing your shoes?

Is there something wrong with them?

Shouldn't you change shoes in the studio?

And you're learning street dance in a dress?

How can you dance in these clothes?

Please be serious with your class.

I am serious!

Fine. Don't waste time.

Let's start.

Whatever.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Letian.

L-e-t-i-a-n.

Hip-hop culture came from the U.S.

Over decades of development,

it's branched out to Breaking... Locking....

Excuse me.

Please, I'm not here for theory.

Alright, what's your name?

Call me Mianmian.

Mianmian...

Can we start now?

Haven't we already?

I mean dancing!

How do you want to start?

You dance, I learn!

Listen, street dance...

has many layers to it, alright?

There're spins on the floor, in the air,

with your head, body twisting, it's hard...

Let me see where you're at.

- No problem - No problem.

You're great!

I haven't even started yet.

It's already great. You've talent!

- You turn, then. - My turn?

I mean street dancing.

Alright, let me play some music.

Can't you dance without music?

That's what you don't know.

Street dance is like Drunken Fist,

and music is like the wine. Let me go get a glass.

I don't know what teacher you've found for me.

Stop following me!

I really didn't mean it today.

Let me explain.

Leaning out to kiss me, do you have no shame?

I didn't mean any harm.

I'm sorry about this too!

Dancing is a noble thing.

You have no manners at all.

You're a disgrace to dancers.

I am noble. Today really was an accident.

I lost my balance.

You call those ragtag moves...

dancing?

You can say I'm ragtag,

but not street dance.

I can forgive your ignorance.

Forgive me? Ridiculous.

Really, street dance can let you...

forget your inferiorities and express your emotions.

Do you feel inferior?

I'm sentimental. I think I like you.

- Someone help me. - I'm help you!

Let's find a place and talk!

I'm not talking to you! I have a boyfriend.

Then talk to him.

I entered my number, let's have tea together sometime.

Call me, 13666.

Mom.

Mom, I'm so tired.

Baby, that's wrong?

Mom, I hate Ran Qiu.

He made me learn street dance.

Then tell him yourself.

He's waiting for you in the studio.

I didn't say anything.

How was your class?

Street dance is not dancing.

Just something a bunch of ragtag,

unrefined people are interested in.

You just haven't seen real street dancing.

Is that so important?

Street dance is the most direct way of releasing your emotions.

It's amazingly enticing.

It's so not.

You just weren't touched by him.

I don't want to be.

Try it.

If we can infuse street dance's powerful enticement into...

our work for the U.S. next month...

and close the emotional gap between our work and the judges,

we'll be even more likely to win.

You're so demanding.

No play, choreography... I'm so tired.

It's for your own good too.

My dream is to make you the best dancer.

I feel for you when you work hard.

"Want to see real street dancing?

Come to the battle stage tonight."

Are you busy tonight?

They're all experts, how cool!

I guess this is the legendary "Dance of the Devils"?

Wow, it's incredible!

Wow what?

They should all be sent to the zoo.

What a bunch of ragtags.

Arrogant words, Miss.

What were you saying? I didn't hear you clearly.

Something about us being ragtags?

And that we're making fools of ourselves?

What is this?

It's rude to diss street dancing when you don't even know it.

Get away from me, weirdo.

Look at your clothes. Are you beggars now?

I'll show you who's the fool tonight.

You know her?

I don't think so.

He's so good.

Brilliant!

You miss her?

None of your business.

Letian, our boss wants to see you.

Feels different from this morning, right?

Very different.

I didn't feel this energy of his this morning.

Who?

No...

I mean I didn't feel street dancing was so fantastic this morning.

Letian, great dancing. I like it.

Pretty good.

Such humour, young man.

- Come on...sit down. - How am I humorous?

Sit down.

Have a drink.

Here, you want a cigar?

Thanks!

I forgot. Children shouldn't smoke.

I was very happy...

you taught them a lesson last time.

Them? Pretty weak.

Such confidence!

Join my group.

Come help me.

I'll sign on all your teammates...

if you'd help me. How about it?

Any more questions?

No? We'll sign the contract now.

I'll go back to discuss with them.

Discussing is agreeing.

Alright, that's it then.

Come on, young man, cheers.

I forgot again.

No drinks for children.

I'll drink it for you.

Thanks!

Dad!

Mianmian, you're covered in sweat.

What are you dancing?

It's all a jumbo.

This is street dance. You don't know it, right?

Underestimating me?

Everyone knows this. Let me show you.

Alright!

Come on!

Dad, are you alright?

Sit down...

See, you lack exercise.

Mianmian, you should give up this street dance.

I can't. Ran Qiu wants to infuse this into his moves.

I'm looking for inspiration.

You're always worrying for him.

Dad, how can you say that?

I'm just looking out for you.

I'm afraid you'd be too tired.

I know you love me.

Good, as long as you're happy.

What, do I look unhappy?

No. You're happy when Ran Qiu's happy.

Is that a problem?

You just haven't met a boy...

who can really make you happy.

I don't care for the kind of guy...

who only knows how to sweet-talk a girl.

Honey, you just don't understand what I mean.

Silly girl.

- Lost... - Be quiet!

Letian has something to say.

It's nothing. That Mr Ye...

asked if we want to be signed under his artist agency.

Will we get paid?

Of course. We're not volunteers.

I don't mind.

Can we get the money at once?

Of course. We're Encore!

But look at how happy we are now.

We can do whatever we want,

dance whatever we want.

We can prove our worth...

in our own way.

If we really sign this, we won't be free anymore.

Do you still think it's worth it?

Remember what we said...

when we formed this group?

We stand as one...

Alright, fine. I won't sign this.

If you won't, I won't either.

I won't sign, you....

I won't sign either.

- No signing! - No signing!

No? Then let's drink to us!

Come on, cheers!

Text message...

Sis Li told you to teach a class...

tomorrow at 9am in Room 408.

Warning: no more harassing the girl,

or you're dead.

What harassing? Who's that girl?

The one today.

What harassing? Did you get her?

It's nothing. Just a kiss.

- What a degenerate. - Degenerate!

This makes me a degenerate?

If you're going to do it, go all the way!

- Alright! - Fine...

I'll try.

Cheers...

What are you looking at?

Stars.

Where?

There... many more over there.

Are you too hungry?

Or am I blind?

Too bad they're all obscured by clouds.

Are you alright?

They should be bright.

But now nobody can see them.

Tell me why.

Didn't you just say it? They're hidden by clouds.

If one day I'm hidden by clouds,

will you pretend to see me...

and know I'm still shining...

in the same place, just like I'm doing now?

Yes.

Oh, no. You sure know how to chat.

Then do you see it now?

See what?

I think I understand.

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Let's do it again.

Must I be like you?

Like a monkey, to make it street dance?

That's how street dance is.

How about you try to learn from me?

Learn what?

Learn my moves.

No.

Come on. I'll help you stretch first.

Relax.

Breathe out.

Relax, lower...

Your basic skills suck.

Can I quit?

Isn't this too cruel?

Hardship makes you a better person.

Do you understand?

Better person? They're almost broken in half.

These are just basics. Don't think it's hard for them,

most people won't quality for this.

With your bandy legs? No way.

But they're not happy at all.

Shouldn't dancing be happy?

In the world of street dance,

no one tells you if you're good.

You dance whenever you what to, however you want to.

It's yours.

Like Roujiamo on my team.

He's always loved dancing,

but he's always been fat.

Later on,

he danced better than anyone.

Street dancing is about the heart.

About enjoying being yourself.

Expressing your emotions, forgetting your inferiorities.

That sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?

Isn't that your friend?

We won't practise here next time.

Mr Ye.

What did you bring Wangzi here for?

Watch your mouth!

Ask him yourself.

I'm sorry, Letian.

What are you sorry for?

My mom is very sick. She needs money for treatment.

Wangzi is smart.

You're all brothers. You should support him.

Wangzi, we can help you.

Hongxiu, why didn't you stop him?

It's all my idea.

You know Wangzi.

He won't leave Encore.

All our money together...

is not enough for one day's medical bill.

He has to do this.

That's enough.

Letian, go.

I've decided to leave Encore...

to follow Mr Ye.

Hongxiu, you're right.

I didn't take care of my brother.

But Ye,

if you don't treat them well,

I will come and find you!

Watch your mouth!

- Stop it! - Letian!

If you make anymore trouble,

it's going to be hard for everyone.

Wangzi, Hongxiu.

Take care of yourselves.

If anything happens, come home.

Let's go.

I didn't even know my brother's in trouble.

I'm such a bad team leader.

Stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault.

We're all to blame.

We should've cared more about him.

Yes. We've really been bad friends.

I think Wangzi feels worse...

for this decision than us.

Does anyone else want to go? I'm asking one last time.

Wangzi, listen. Money is not a problem,

but I want you to train my artists wholeheartedly.

I want them to way surpass Encore.

Understand?

No need to be so rude.

How am I rude?

Lower your voice, other people will mind.

Who'll mind? You?

Put down your knife to talk.

Can't you be more quiet?

Who's that girl?

A new student in Year One.

I don't remember her name.

You don't? Then how come you danced so intimately with her?

She's very creative.

You've crossed the line.

Don't be silly. I did it...

for our dance.

How could you say that?

She admires you, Ran Qiu,

but you're using her.

Alright, enough about her.

Please don't make that horrid sound again.

Hey, be serious.

Your hands are flapping around. There's no power at all.

How many times have I told you?

How am I not serious?

So this is serious?

Where were you yesterday?

There're bags under your eyes, and no strength in your hands.

Why bother coming to class?

Follow my lead!

Now that was street dancing.

Why did you yell just now?

I was going to stop teaching you if you kept on messing around.

I wanted to make you disappear from my sight today.

What, are you unhappy?

It's none of your business.

Then let's go somewhere for fun.

Where?

I'll take you somewhere.

Where?

We'll get pizza.

It's so big. How can we finish it?

Don't worry. You've got me.

Come on...

You're kidding me, right?

- What? - Eating pizza...

with a fork and knife?

How else?

Like me! Use your hands!

Wouldn't that be rude?

No. Come on!

Eat, try it. It's delicious.

Listen, knives and forks are for salads.

It's great, right?

Have a chicken wing.

Our first group today...

is former Encore member, Wangzi!

Let the battle begin!

We're not dancing. We've lost.

Why not?

How do you know you've lost when you haven't even danced?

Letian doesn't want to compete with Wangzi.

Why are you here?

I come here when I'm in a bad mood.

Look how happy they are.

Yes, they're really enjoying it.

What's wrong? Feeling down?

You first.

One of my brothers in the team signed a contract...

behind our backs because his mother was sick.

It was complicated.

What about you?

I...

Never mind, I don't know.

You don't know?

No. I just want to clear my head.

Then...

Should we dance?

You might feel better.

Alright.

Come on.

What a big mansion!

I'm home. Thanks for the ride.

I'm happy to see you today...

and get a ride home on your bike.

It's nice of you.

Can we still see each other?

Of course.

Can we see each other soon?

- Goodnight! - Goodnight!

- Bye. - Bye.

This is the third floor!

You said we can meet soon.

I just want to say goodnight.

You've said it.

Can you go home and sleep now?

Goodnight.

- Goodnight. - Bye.

Bye.

Letian.

I really don't like guys like this.

If you're sincere,

can you show me?

I just act aggressive sometimes.

I think you're all bark.

I didn't ruin my pristine image just now, right?

Bye.

Bye.

Brilliant.

You've qualified for the finals.

Be prepared. See you in the U.S.

Mianmian, wait a second.

Do we have to celebrate here?

I can't think of any better place than the stage.

What did you say?

Mianmian, will you marry me?

I want you to lead the team to this competition.

Fine, but can I first...

Ask your mom to hold out a little.

The prize money for this competition is $100,000.

If we win this,

you can take it all for your mom.

Really? All for me?

Yes, as long as you win this.

Alright, that's all. You can go.

Boss, are you really giving it all to him?

Sure. But if he really wins,

he has to reward the others with at least 60% to 70%,

or Zhicheng and the others will not let him off.

Letian should be coming down soon.

It's fine. Thanks.

He's been mentioning you a lot.

Really?

It used to be just dancing, but not anymore.

Just one look and I know he's fallen for a girl.

Did he say he likes you?

That kid's got guts.

Trust me, Letian's a good boy.

He'll be good to you.

Pay attention.

Mianmian.

Letian, she's been waiting a while.

You two carry on.

Why are you here?

Letian, I think...

You thinking about me? No.

I want to tell you something.

I want to tell you something too.

You go first.

Can you do me a favour?

I have to help my brother win this competition.

What competition?

Street dance competition. We want to give the prize money...

to Wangzi for his mom's surgery.

My street dance teacher is asking his student to choreograph?

This time you're my teacher.

My goal is roughly the same as yours last time.

Alright.

What were you going to tell me?

Nothing...

I want to join Encore.

Really?

A promise's a promise.

- Then I'll tell them. - Alright.

You've lost weight these few days.

Mom, get some rest.

Don't stress yourself. I'll take care of the rest.

Where were you?

I went to find Letian.

What for?

I asked them to help win the street dance competition.

What did you say?

I heard Mr Ye say even if you win,

you have to split the $1 00,000 with everyone.

It's not enough for your mom.

How can I accept his help now?

I told you to leave then,

so I went to ask for their forgiveness today.

I don't need you to shoulder everything for me.

I don't mind,

as long as your mom can be cured.

It's been hard on you, Hongxiu.

Let's go back to Encore.

Are you Letian?

I've seen you.

I know who you are.

You know Mianmian has a boyfriend.

Why are you still harassing her?

She has a choice.

You're no match for her.

Look at where you live.

Bird of the same feather flock together.

Do you understand?

I can give you money if you want.

Men shouldn't sponge off women.

If you really care about Mianmian,

you should stay away from her.

I forgot to tell you...

Mianmian and I will be holding...

a large engagement party in two days.

Come if you have time.

Remember, dress properly.

You never even told him.

I will.

You just can't.

I admit I'm confused.

I don't know if it's because he likes me...

and I don't want to hurt him,

or because I like him too.

It's fine. I already told him.

What did you say?

Let go. I said let go, you hear me?

"Wangzi's in trouble, come to the battle stage!"

You have some nerve.

Step aside. It's urgent.

What if I don't?

Then I'll plow you out of the way.

- You.... - Ran Qiu.

Let him go.

Ye, I'm warning you.

If you hurt my brother, I won't let you get away.

Letian, I've wanted to teach you a lesson long ago.

Guys, take him out.

I'll get Wangzi. You guys, improvise.

Bro Tian, calm down...

Young man, calm down.

Ding, hurry.

We have a contract.

I'll leave this at that.

It's alright. I'm getting you out of here.

Someone's settled the bill...

for Wangzi's mother's treatment.

Coming.

You owe me $100,000 now.

You can't afford to lose the competition next week.

Thank you.

Plow everyone out of the way? Not so easy.

I'm sorry.

You're ditching your girlfriend to save your friend?

I didn't ditch her.

My approval is useless. My words don't count.

Mianmian is an adult. She can decide for herself.

Give her some time.

Let her plan her future.

Your priority now is to win the competition.

She'll give you an answer when it's over.

Plow everyone out of the way?

No losing. I'm rooting for you.

Don't disappoint me.

Don't disappoint Mianmian either.

Did you see something?

Mianmian. The first time I saw her,

her look when I gave her flowers, when I taught her dancing,

when she pretended to be angry,

when she was really angry,

and when she hit me,

when I saw her for the last time.

You really miss her, right?

I can't take this torture.

Scared?

I really am scared.

I'm afraid there's no star behind the clouds.

If it's me, I'd probably wait on the other side.

But I don't think you will.

You think I'll give up?

Letian, you'd push aside every cloud...

until you find the star.

So what if I find it?

She might already be on the other side of the Earth.

Then you'd turn the Earth over.

No matter what, you'd get her...

back to where she was.

Are you teaching me what to do?

Trust me, that's what you'd do.

Excuse me, sorry.

Who are they?

It's Mr Ye.

He brought his team of artists, Gambler China.

Are they any good?

Did the last six teams...

put on brilliant performances?

Now we have two winning teams.

They're...

Gambler China!

And Encore!

I say Gambler, you say China!

- Gambler! - China!

- Gambler! - China!

- Gambler! - China!

Let's go.

- Are you alright? - I'm fine.

- Are you alright? - I'll make it.

Wangzi, can you make it? I'm worried.

The doctor said if you carry on, there might be after-effects.

You're up in five minutes, Encore.

Hurry up and get ready.

What should we do with one dancer short?

Let me try.

I...

Say no more.

The competition is of the most importance right now.

Great.

Letian's group is really strong.

They'll win for sure.

You know what to do...

if they dare win.

Hey man!

Oh, it's Mr Yun.

How ignorant of me.

You're here for....

Letian's my boy.

Great dancer. Very good...

They'll win this competition.

Bye, Mr Yun. Take care.

Can you smile for a bit?

They should win. Don't worry now.

Excuse me.

- Uncle. - Letian!Right.

Mianmian has a message for you.

She doesn't know how to tell you.

This is also her decision.

She's on her way to the airport with Ran Qiu now.

She....

Where's that kid? I'm not finished.

- I'm sorry. - It's fine.

Mianmian, don't go!

Mianmian, don't go!

Am I not sincere enough?

Can you let me say a few words?

You're part of Encore, and I'm the captain.

I'm not letting you go!

I know I'm not good enough.

I know I can't give you much.

But I'll try hard.

You don't like me street dancing? Then I won't do it.

I won't do dancing at all.

You don't like me acting cool? Then I won't.

You don't like me fighting?

I won't, I'll never fight again.

But I'll find you no matter where you go.

Because I love you!

Idiot. You big idiot!

Right, idiot. I'm an idiot.

I'm the super idiot.

It's almost time.

What did you just say?

I said I'm a big idiot.

Before that, what did you say?

I said I love you.

Me too.

You're going to leave with him.

I broke off my engagement with Ran Qiu.

We're just going for the competition.

Didn't my dad tell you?

No...

No...

My goodness...why did your dad only tell me half of it?

So you're not leaving me?

So you love me?

Really?
