I'm Yao Yuan, 38 years old, single.
My personality is 40% bad but 60% good.
I'm an actor with little chance to act.
In the summer of 1997.
I joined hands with Zhou Beiyan.an assistant director staying idle at home,
Liangzi, a propsman, and Qian Kang, a screenplay, to fill in a blank of the service industry.
The project was named "Your Dream Comes True Today".
The project aims to help the customers to experience the life that they dream of.
It's currently at the initial stage and in trial operation.
Beiyan, we're ready here, and waiting for you.
I'm busy here as a spider weaving a web. Why urging so?
You guys there can't do without me?
Hey, you don't move.
Sister, it'll be hard to keep the sheep here without grasses.
OK, we'll compensate you in case the sheep were lost.
Remember to salute when you see the jeep and obey whoever is the bossiest.
At the sunset, the 100 yuan will be yours.
Take this. And hurry to change clothes for me.
You guys enter the camp. Quick! You too, please go in. Quick!
Come on, sir!
- Me? - Yes.
Where's your harmonica?
Here it is.Yes.
Come over to sit here and play harmonica.
Besides, read English newspapers.
But I can't understand English.
Read them, anyway.
You sit here and rub a gun.
Stop playing cards. Drop the cards, and enter the camp. Quick!
You move there, and sit down to write a home letter.
- Any other people available in the camp? - Yes.
I now needs one outside.
You stand here having a bath. Know how to whistle?
Yes.
I'll whistle the song "Ever Progressing", OK?
No. "An American in Paris", instead.
Hello! This is "Your Dream Comes True Today".
It's me, Liangzi. Well, tell you what, I'm ready here. Besides.
there'll be tank training here.
I'm sure the book seller will be so happy!
No need to go too far. Right?
Would you please fetch me a piece of The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, sir?
OK...The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
First get an invoice over there, please.
Brother, take care of this for me. Today, I'll deal with a serious matter.
Look, have they come for you?
Aha, so they have come!
I'll not continue to sell the books. I'll now go to the battle!
Very good.
Go, my officers and soldiers. Go!
Yes.
Motion 1, Motion 1, I'm Motion 2. I've discovered US armies to my left flank.
Not US armies. They are making a movie.
Yes.
General, now we're in Germany. Please be careful about your personal safety.
I know this is Germany. But we see our own tanks everywhere. So why worry?
What's my next line?
Icecream.
Oh, General
We couldn't have icecream for whole past week.
And even our coke was not original.
Let the Pentagon airlift some.
And dear General, it's said that our supply of Camel brand cigarettes stopped at Antwerp.
where the rear bastards wholesold it to Belgian profiteers.
And even our chewing gum are now being chewed in the Italian whores' mouths.
My mouth smelled so bad that I couldn't bear kissing the Parisians who came to welcome us.
Telephone Ike (General Dwight D. Eisenhower)
to tell him that I'd like to have all of those rascals shot.
Yes.
Why? What does this mean?
Can't you see that we are US soldiers?
Everyone has to show his papers.
Intelligences shows that Germans are now melacing this region assuming an identity of American soldiers.
- Where are you from? - California.
Pardon?
California.
I didn't hear you.
California.
Now I promote you to be a staff sergeant, my Californian boy.
Let them pass.
Liangzi, follow us! Keep up with us.
What should I do then?
Then you should go to the hospital to visit the injured soldiers...
and boot-kick a coward soldier pretending to be injured.
And after that?
Discipline the army, requiring the officiers to be punctual for their breakfast on 6
punishing the logisttics officer who didn't wear a helmet as required,
and ordering that no pictures of nude womean should be posted in the camp.
Shut up! I'm General George S. Patton, not a brothel keeper...
I want to fight battles.
Do you understand?
Yes, General.
Come on, guys. Sorry for the trouble, but it's time to for you to change clothes to act generals.
What's today's play?
To help people to realize their dreams. If you have any dream, contact us at any time.
I dream of China's becoming the leader in Asia in the soccer sport.
Please help me to realize this dream first.
No problem. At least, China can be the leader for one day.
Step aside! Step aside!
What should I do, Brother Qian?
Change clothes. First change the epaulets if you can't make it.
child!
How're things going, Tom?
Sir, my sheep won't do without my care, so please allow me to go home.
No, not now. Tom, after we defeat Germans,
I'll give you the pasture in New Jersey.
"New what"?
General, you can begin the meeting now.
I said "Nju-Zi-Shi", Tom.
It's right to stand this way.
Here's the General!
Good many [morning], gentlemen.
Mang [Morning]!
Pin those stars on my clothes.
Why standing still? Waiting for me to kick your ass?
General Bradley, you should be aware that the President proposed my advancement.
Prior to the endorsement of the Congress, the possibility...
Nonsense! I decide everything here.
Then I give you my congratulation in advance.
General
Yes? What do you mena?
Despite our efforts, we can't find a German map...
So?!
But you can manage to deloy your army with a map of Nanjing.
What?
Nanjing?
Well, fine, I understand.
Look, here, here, and here...
Hi, please have a seat. Have a seat.
General Bradley!
Yes, sir!
Where's your army now?
My army has captured the Fuzimiao Temple.
Commander Liang!
Yes, sir!
Where's your army now?
My army has captured the Fuzimiao Temple.
Too slow. You'll have to take...
Xinjiekou. And where's your army, Sir Montgomery?
Yesterday they captured.
Xiaolinwei.
Yes, Xiaolinwei. And now they stay near Jimingshi.
Yao Commander, Where's your army now?
I still have my armored division YuHuaTai.
I met with the ss counter-offensive.
My troops suffered the remaining five tanks.
My chief of staff, also died.
Liang Junchang, From now on you succeeded Yao commander command.
Yao Commander, You are a state funeral.
I'll take good care of Nancy and her three children. Take him out!
He was speaking to you. Quick!
I bleeded in North Africa, got hurt at the You'an Beach, and...
Hold on. Hold on to this. Drag, drag...
I have been to the leader of the meritorious military service.
I have been to the leader of the meritorious military service. Drag...Drag.
Stay here.
Quick! Sound the gun.
He shot you?
Yeah, yeah. I'm dead.
May I ask you for a favor?
Why so polite?
I really need your help.
Say it.
Marry me, please.
I can't help you this time. You're not my Mr. Right.
Do you intentionally middleman? I've not found him yet,
or I would have been free of my mom's nagging, saying nobody wants to marry me.
To be honest, you aren't my Miss Right either. I prefer a quiet girl...
You're a little noisy.
I want to marry only for the sake of our house. My dad says he'll give it to my sister if I remain single.
Let him give her, then. I must marry a guy who fancinates me.
You were shot, too?
Quick! Give me a cigarette. I couldn't wait.
Why did he shoot you?
I said that the Congress didn't want the war to be over before 1944.
We were not yet ready to devote ourselves for the whole Europe.
Scream!
Ouch! ouch.
Shoot it out, break.
Sorry, General. I can't do things impossible.
Bad. Qian Kang will lose his life, then.
Don't wait for the order, brother. Go over there now.
Well...
You too were...so, none of our people is inside now?
It's late. We can't satisfy all his impulses. Let's call it a day.
It's over!
Hey, Sergent, drive my jeep here.
Don't move.
Hey, wait!
Come to our place to get the photos this time tomorrow.
Well, where should I go next?
Really sorry! That's all that we can do for your addiction.
"Your dream comes true today", so our service is for only one day.
Oh, can't you provide a 10-day service?
You...just tell me what price you want.
No, we can't. It's enough to experience it a little.
Now it's a peaceful time, and even the real Patton has to stay home quietly.
Dare he act wildly, the police will arrest him all the same.
Just run your bookstore and be a good citizen.
As for the defence of our motherland, we have a powerful PLA.
So, you don't need worry about the wars.
Bah!
Despite the tight schedule and numerous difficulties,
we got it done anyway.
Our influence got expanded and our team exercised.
The shortcoming lies in our insufficient adaptability
and underestimate of the potential difficulties.
I should take responsibility...
Generally speaking, it's a good beginning. And I'd like to give you the following advice...
With adequate planning and clear assignment, we'll have great prospects. Let's rest early.
Don't drink wine or play cards.
I'll phone you tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning, Liangzi...
help Bei Yan to return the clothes.
Welcome! Come in, please.
Come in, please.
Are you providing the service called "Your Dream Comes True Today"?
Yes, that's right. Come here and have a seat, please.
Can a person like me have your service?
No discrimination or classes here. Whatever the masses need, we're glad to provide.
Hong Kong will be handed back to China on July 1st. Do you know that?
Uh-huh, we know that.
A guy flew over the Yellow river riding a bicycle. You also heard that?
Uh-huh, we know that.
Do you also know that the road maitenance fee will be transformed into gasoline tax?
We masses don't care about that.
Well, er...would you talk about your dream?
I'm very frank and outspoken.
so nobody dare tell me any secret. But then, I like to ask about all kinds of secrets.
I guess that you're a well-trained reporter.
A well-trained cook, actually.
Can you help me to be mouth-tight for one day?
To keep a secret as the grave.
No outsiders here?
No.
You should tell a sentence.
Then, you guys try to make me tell it, using all kinds of methods. both the stick and carrot.
But I won't say it. I'll let the sentence corrupt in my head.
I'd rather die than tell you.
Yes, I'd rather die than tell you.
Leave your telephone number to us, please. Then go home to wait for our notice.
Umm, don't hurry. Not a single sentence is stored in my head.
Tell me a new sentence, please.
Did't I tell you just now? "I'd rather die than tell you."
Oh, it's that!
Don't tell anybody. Let it corrupt in your head.
Hey, er...It's a nice day, isn't it?
What are you doing?
Looking so furtive!
What were you talking about?
I'd rather die than tell you.
Stop. Don't play with it any longer.
Is this real?
Not a single item is real in this house. We have this plan for you.
We'll first arrest you here and take you away.
Then we'll inquest you on the very night, restorting to cruel torture.
I won't tell it. I'll tear to pieces the prepared confession letter.
Spit bloody spittle toward your faces.
Eh! That's OK. So we'll be ashamed into anger...
and we'll tie you tight and send you to the execution ground...
which is a place filled with beauty of nature...
where it's natural for one to sing operas.
You want to be burned or beheaded?
Both. We...er...The first cut out again.
Will there be villagers and wolfhounds?
Sure. We have a good arrangement for all matters.
More than 200 villagers will be crying and saying that you have been wronged.
Those who cry aloud will get an extra bag of fertilizers. Besides...
Later when you're arrested, don't forget to throw down this flowerpot.
Why should I do that?
To send a signal to your complices, as in the real life.
Yoshi ["Good" in Sinified Japanese]. Aha!
So, let's begin now. Let's hurry up because I'll have to cook for foreign guests tomorrow noon.
Look here.
You want to set up a beauty trap to ensnare me?!
Watch out, less she trick you into confession.
Leave me and take care of your own business, sir. I've always been waiting for a beauty trap.
We two are alone in the house. Come out to flirt.
Quick! You make me feel buring!
Am I beautiful?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
And do you like me?
Yes! Yes! Stop tantalizing me.
What sentence did you say to that fat guy?
You can't make him tell it.
Fat brother, would you tell me all the secrets that you know?
OK.
What did Mr. Yao say to you, then?
Umm, I'd rather die than tell you.
Bravo! You prefer to drink the wine as punishment instead of the wine as respect.
Wait for the torture then.
Fat man!
Yeah. It's not...
Isn't your mouth tight, guy? I wait to see your tears.
Don't waste any more time on him. Tell Yao Yuan to get ready the cruel tortures.
OK.
He'll jump out!
What...what did you want to do?
I didn't mean to jump out of the building. I sent a signal to my comrades.
Take him away.
Yes. Yao Yuan! Yao Yuan!
Yao Yuan! Yao Yuan!
The flowerpot fell right on his head.
Dear me! That wasn't what I meant to do.
Nonsense! You couldn't have hit him that accurately even if you meant to do so.
Quick! Hurry up to save Lenin. Bukharin is a traitor.
Bei Yan, take him to the hospital immediately. Liangzi, stay with me to continue to interrogate him.
Can we stop now? I'm willing to pay the hospital fees.
No way! You've not confessed yet.
Umm, it smells like Inner Mongolian button.
I'll boil human flesh later.
Mr. Yao said nothing here was real.
Everything here is real. No fake.
Liangzi, are five bags of pepper powder enough to make it hot?
Let me try it for you.
Didn't Mr. Yao tell you that I am a cook of Sichuan Dish?
I'll give you another bag.
Step aside and learn from me.
Brother Qian, I hear them say that flesh and skin readily get cut and broken
when beaten with a soaked whip.
This is pepper soup, indeed. Will you really torture me?
What do you think?
As you struck Yao Yuan with the flowerpot, everything should be like the real life.
Now, let's tie you up.
No...You...No...
No...No... You...No, no! Didn't I confess it just now? Didn't I?
Confessed? What did you confess?
"I'd rather die than tell you". Yeah.
Brave guy, indeed! So we'll really beat you dead.
Hey, hey, hey...
This brother has been frightened unconscious.
Oh! Don't kill me.
I'm willing to tell it all.
Yes, I'll tell you everything.
I add lots of MSG when cooking dishes.
Add lots of sauce when the meat is not fresh.
Add an egg when blending dough, and then the dough won't stick to the basin.
At our restaurant, be careful, because the bills are usually doctored.
Stop distracting us with those trival matters. Tell us what we don't know.
I'm only a cook. What you don't know, I don't know either.
The Guo'an soccer team of Beijing beat the Shenghua team of Shanghai by 9 to 1.
I've just leaned this today.
What's the sentence that Yao Yuan said to you yesterday?
That's what I want to know.
Take it easy. I'll tell you. "I'd rather die than tell you".
Eh! You're really obstinate.
Wait! I've got it. The sentence that Yao Yuan said to him yesterday is exactly...
"I'd rather die than tell you".
That's right!
Slow!
We're very sorry.
We didn't manage to help you to realize your dream of keeping your mouth tight.
Acutally, I won't hurt you at all.
I meant to help you to fulfill yor wish
Taking the secrets to your grave.
I thought I was a hero.
But disappointedly, I turned out to be not only a blab but also a coward.
We're all the same.
Ah, now I understand.
Heroes are really different from us commoners. I now really cherish great respect to the heroes.
Good, this dream is surely worthy.
Feel free to contact us in case you need any help.
OK. OK.
OK. So, see you later.
See you. See you.
Still painful?
Dizzy!
Dear me! He did bite! Hey, Yao Yuan, Tyson really bit the rival.
I watched it already.
Hey, don't move.
Boxers will need to wear a bridle bit in future matches.
Now, let's begin the meeting.
During our trial operation.
we have made certain achievements and all of us worked really hard...
Especially, Comrade Yao Yuan...
Be straight and begin the sentence with "However", Brother Qian.
However...
...A serious problem was found in our work.
the problem about whom we're supposed to serve.
My comrades...
...don't undervalue this problem, otherwise we may face grave results.
Mr. Qian, I think since we provide services
we should regard our clients as our lords.
Though the customer caused the problem, we are the root of the problem.
Simply, we shouldn't forget whom we should interest and serve.
Didn't you say that we shouldn't practice class discrimination.
we're glad to provide what the masses need the most?
Would you guys please wait for the leader to finish his speech first.
We therefore should corret our mistakes and improve our conduct.
Our service "Your Dream Comes True Today" should say "No"to some people.
we'll not achieve development but suffer failures.
Otherwise, I hope you'll remember this in your future work
Hi, Aunt Qi!
Hi, you all! Listen, tomorrow is a big day.
The street has been furnished. And every unit should hang a national flag.
Don't lag behind, and make worthy your title as a "Civilization Adanced Unit".
Don't worry, Aunt Qi.
You can count on us for the festival atmosphere tomorrow in our street.
Aunt Qi, please sit down.
Seeing you stand there speaking, I feel myself rather impolite and guilty.
Aunt Qi, why bother yourself to come for such a small thing?
Daughter Il bring us the message and I'll go and settle everything.
You surely sound noble, young men.
Well, save your sweet words for your performance in the street tomorrow.
You want to leave now, Aunt Qi? Have a nice day!
Have a nice day, Aunt Qi. See you later, Aunt Qi.
Good-bye, Aunt Qi!
Even didn't drink any water. We're sorry.
We'll all go into street tomorrow.
Why? To give people dreams free of charge?
We can't afford to give people dreams.
but we can give our neighbors some heart-warming words.
Should we praise everybody or just somebody?
Everybody.
Isn't the drum music charming? Our national culture is always so charming.
Sister...
you're probably approaching your 40th birthday. Did I guess right?
No. I'm already 78 years old.
You hardly look so.- Is that real?
If you're dressed in a brighter color,
some people would even believe that you're only 38 years old.
That's good. Thank you.
Look. Is that person preparing to jump into the river to commit suicide?
Oh!
Girl!
You were calling me?
No, lady. Go on. I was speaking to the unhappy girl.
On this day last year, I jumped down from here...
but people rescued me...
One year has passed, and now I feel I was very foolish at that moment.
You think that you're not foolish today? I've been practicing Qigong here.
Welcome.
Good morning.
Hey, look, this furniture store is really gorgeous!
Even if you don't buy anything, you'll feel comfortable having a look here.
The products surely have high quality.
But they are nothing compared to the unmatchable sales ladies...
Are you all retired air hostesses?
No.
You surely are! Why don't you admit it?
Really steady driving. As if I were riding a Benz.
More comfortable than that.
Can you stand straight without hitting the ceiling in a Benz?
Besides, we're enjoying a special direct bus route.
Uh-huh, I like this comment!
Talking about enjoying a happy life,
we salary-earners are surely better-off than any other social groups.
Look at that gentleman.
He's obviously a rich man. What's more, he's got his money legally...
And he deserves to be described as dignified and generous.
Sure.
His business suit really fits him well, as if it grows on him.
now they've never been used for any manual work.
So long and so slim! Born for playing the piano, for sure.
Yes, indeed!
Then, pay attention to how he takes out his money.
Look, he clips the wallet with only two fingers and slightly and unnoticeably takes it out...
Hey, that gentleman does seem to be picking his own wallet.
Oh! A pickpocket! Catch the pickpocket!
Today's work was more exhausting than ruling a small country.
Tell you what, at the moment you went to catch the pickpocket this afternoon.
I really felt great respect to you.
Did you have the feeling that if you married me you would feel very safe?
- Do you really want the house that much? - You should remember loveless marriage is unhappy.
It's the marriage without a house that is unhappy.
In this world, there's no reasonless hatred or reasonless love.
Why is she so good to me? So obedient?
Why does she fear me the way a rat fears a cat?
Why this way? My guess is that it must be a very comfortable thing to be dominated.
To know the taste of the pear, you have to try it.
So, arrange it for me. Don't be soft.
I don't know if I have got it right.
Do you mean that we shouldn't show you... no mercy whatsoever?
Exactly!
Rebuke you whenever you want to speak?
That's it.
Make you do all kinds of dirty and heavy work,
and look on you as something inferior to a human being?
Box your ears as the gentlest punishment?
That's exactly what I want.
OK. Wait for our notice.
Please take me in. You only need to feed me during the probation.
What you do is interesting.
I can't approve your application, because your motive is a little problematic.
Our work is not interesting. We need to exert ourselves
suffer pains to bring happiness to others.
Act like an angel to spread love and merriment to the world,
Even devote all that we have when necessary.
Hello! Ah, Liangzi! OK, you come back first.
Hey, Brother Qian is having veinal injection in hospital.Please drop in to see him.
Ask him to relax at the hospital for one or two days. Uh, bind him there if he won't listen, eh?
You'd better go back to continue your study at school, and we'll certainly absorb you.
If there is such a graduated, we must first take you.
But then, any work demands mastery of certain knowledge.
So you should first learn well the knowledge with which you can serve the people.
You may even find a method to cure AIDS one day.
No. I just want to...
I know. I understand.
Pleae give a reconsideration to my request.
- Yes, I will. Good-bye! - Bye-Bye.
I wish you success in your study.
Yao Yuan!
Come on! Yaoyuan, you really know how to trick others for money...
Good dream? Why don't you call it a good loss?
Why are you still like this?
Talk about your dream, OK?
I dare promise you this:
Whatever you can think of, we can get it done.
I've been up to the ears in all kinds of delicacies
I feel disgusted. But I must eat, or people will feel offended.
I dream of living a hard life, surviving on just simplest foods like potherbs and porridge
How nice such a poor diet will be!
Did you catch what I say?
Go to my second uncle's home, then.
That's an outlying place, and was recently rampaged by natural disasters.
Good. I warn you:
If I happen to eat any meat and oil, I won't pardon you.
Whenever you feel excited,
pat your legs.
It doesn't hurt.
That's not good, either.
Lord and lady, we've not collected all the rent owed by the tenant named Zhang.
That's not allowed. The contract should be fully honored. A landlord family may also lack grain.
Yes, Lord. His family already ate the pig.
His eldest daughter left here two days ago.
How about his second daughter?
Landlord Li's family acted before us. Now only Tenant Zhang is left there.
Where's his wife, then?
Why're you asking so many nonsense questions?
Quick! Take the tenant here.
I'm Zhang Fugui.
Liangzi, now that Mr. Zhang is here.
we can let our draft animals including the mule have a good rest.
Zha!(Manchu word meaning "Yes"). Go!
Come back!
Take Mr. Zhang to change clothes. He doesn't look like a laborer now.
Zha!(Manchu word meaning "Yes"). Go! You have a rest, please.
Quick! Run!
Peng-tsa-tsa! Easy! Peng-tsa-tsa. Easy!
Run faster!
Go and bring the stirrup.
Yes.
Kneel down, here! Lead the horse here.
Isn't this... OK, it's nothing!
You...you...you'll really drive me crazy!
Is it OK to prick?
What do you think?
Don't prick too hard.
Horrors! I felt really terrible.
How cruel you are! I'll report it to the Consumers Association.
Sorry.
Didn't I tell you not to prick that hard?
I didn't prick hard. I dare not.
The feeling of being dominated...
You can try it. All of you can try it.
Sorry,Sorry. I didn't mean that, you know.
- Sorry. Please forgive me. - Please sit down.
Beiyan, make a cup of tea.
OK. I'll make a cup of tea. Immediately!
You know it's not a good feeling to be dominated. So, don't bully your wife any more in the future.
She also has dignity as you do. A couple should be considerate to each other.
Do you agree?
You've bought vegetables! The sun rose from the west today.
I bought some on my way home.
Pass it to me. I already bought vegetables. Both the birds and fish were aleady fed.
Hey, let me do it.
I'll take care of it.
Let me do it. You can have some rest.
Release it. Let me do it.Hand it to me, please.
Loosen your hands.
Stay there. I've wronged you for years.
hand Ah?
So many cuts in your hand?!
That's OK.
How've you been these days, Mr. Qian?
The best medicine for my illness is to let me go back to work.
That won't do. Yao Yuan said you must stay here for a week.
Doctor!
Yes?
Please check him. First give him some water. He didn't eat for three days.
Hurry!
NO water for me! Let my thirst kell me.
Hey, Aunt Qi.
Why are you here, too?
My illness is nothing serious.
Why do you refuse to eat and drink?
Even if you want to die, you can have a better way than starving.
For failure to get a wife and unbearable loneliness. This child is really sensitive.
He has tried every way to die, bumping the wall, cutting the veins, and touching electric wires.
Or we wouldn't have bound him.
It seems that his taste is not noble enough.
Even if he could bear the failure to get a wife,
He couldn't bear the frustration that he was discarded every time.
It was his good luck that he lived with many neighbors in a big garden.
He would have been dead for long,
Nobody would notice it even if his corpse corrupted in an apartment.
Uh, we should give him courage, and let him see some hope.
Ah, that will be nice.
Princess Ayitula is the only daughter of Prince Askala
Who ranks 17th among world billionares.
One day...
What you're talking about...
Does it have anything to do with me?
Listen!
Princess Ayitula has officially notified the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country.
She would invite you to have dinner with her during which she may make you an offer of marriage.
So, my solitude has even...even disturbed the government.
The government of our country has approved her request, but refused her marriage with you.
But...what if I'm glad to marry her?
Princess Ayitula already has a boyfriend.
Get away!
There's a thief!
Invitation card. I...I...I have an invitation card...
Go and catch him.
Why? Why are you doing this to me?
How to punish him?
Pull him to the garden as dog food.
OK.
I have an invitation card. Princess Tula invited me here.
Why are you doing this?
Here comes the Princess!
I...I have an invitation card, an invitation card.
Stop. Don't move.
Your Majesty, your servant has something to report to you.
Princess, we just now caught a thief, and we were to feed him to your dogs.
No! Kill my dogs to feed him.
Eh? Princess, why...
Oh...why?
He's an honored guest of the Princess. Release him immediately!
Quickly, quickly, quickly, put people down.
I'll punish you later.
Sorry for disturbing you.
Are you that...what-tula? Tell you what, I was badly wronged.
Those snobs! I hope they didn't spoil your mood.
They certainly did.
Get ready the meal.
You're surely a beauty dropping out of the blue.
Why has fallen in love with me? We even didn't meet each other before this.
A fortuneteller told me that you and I are destined to marry. I believe in fate.
I hope I'm not having a dream.
We won't be able to see eath other from today on.
I need some time to clear up my own things...
Are you willing to wait for me?
Yes. Even if I'll have to wait for ten years, I will.
Grapes!
I'm really moved. For me, please take good care fo yourself.
Trust me. I'll surely remain very strong for you.
Oh!
Hurry up! Start now.
Don't press me.
What a beautiful night. I've always been waiting for such a night.
What? I couldn't hear you. What did you say?
She said that it's a beautiufl night. That's all.
Hey, you should also eat.
I'm willing to watch you eating, my darling.
Hmm, cold!
You stay. And he's been fired.
You're fired. Get away!
Go way. Go!
Well, aren't we playing a joke on him? He's really serious about this.
I doubt whether it's moral for us to do so.
Any medicine can't cure all diseases.
Suppose there's a patient dying of some incurable illness.
We know that morphine only aleviates his pain temporarily.
Even is also addictive. Can we refuse to give him morphine in this case?
Should we watch him being tortured by the pain, or give him a temporary relief?
We can't stand by watching him suffering.
So.
The principles can't be discussed without paying due consideration to the reality.
It's a crime injecting morphine into a healthy person.
but it's a moral benevolence doing the same to a dying person.
Sounds that Bei Yan now acts as morphine.
I'd rather get an injection too tonight.
He didn't do anything serious to you, did he?
The two bottles of red wine were not wasted.
We even talked about our life plans for the 21st century. Both of us were drunk.
So, he gained courage to live on?
He surely won't commit suicide again. But he'll suffer long-time love-sickness, I guess.
Accompany Bei Yan home. I'll settle the accounts with the park.
Are you angry?
Did you fear that your father wouldn't give you the house if I married another man,
or did you really fall in love with me?
You forgot it was only a play. Frivolous!
Well, then I should forget all except the play. Tomorrow, I'll register marriage with him.
A matchable couple...
Really matchable! This is like...
What has been done cannot be undone. To tell you the truth, I'm really somewhat in love with you.
Come on! Let me hug you.
To tell you the truth, I'm really somewhat in love with the house.
Pshaw! Naughty girl.
The Agreement.
Party A is Mr. You Wancheng, and Party B is "Your Dream Comes True Today", "True Dream" in short.
The two parties have reached the following agreement.
First, Party B is obliged to help Party A to realize his dream of suffering hardships.
Second, Party B should spare no efforts to accomplish the tasks commissioned by Party A.
Third, without the agreement by Party B, Party A shouldn't end his dream unilaterally,
or should be seen as having violated this agreement.
Within the parentheses, In case of wars, natural disasters and force majeure...
The agreement remains effective even if the sky collapses.
Party A should compensate Party B for all its losses. Fourth...
No need for the fouth!I give you a sign not finished.
In case I regret, well, don't you see them?
that court, and the Benz you'll have them.
Here's my second uncle's home.
How do you like it, Boss You? This place is poor enough, isn't it?
I don't think so. At least they have chickens.
That's fine.
Second Uncle!
Second Uncle, we leave Mr. You here with you. Let him eat the same thing that you normally eat.
No. That won't do...
I must eat worse food than theirs.
What have I come so far for? To suffer hardships!
OK. You can't have money on you, nor the telephone.
Take them, then.
We'll keep this for you.
Why don't simply take them form me?
We'll have to drive the car away. One day you want to eat meat, we'll come to fetch you.Fine.
Second Uncle, we must say good-bye to you now.
You put my daughter-in-law in photos go go go go.
My mom asked me to give you this. Second Uncle. No no.
Guard your chickens, and count them every day.
Liangzi, let's go.You have to go.
Tell your mom not to worry about us that much.
Sure.
Hey, look who's there!
Quickly come!Tang Lijun!
Would you please give us a signature.
Step away! Make way, please.
Give me one too.
A-Wei, A-Wei, come here!
Come over.Come here immediately.
OK.
Hey, what a funny dog.
Why's he alone here? Is he a homeless dog?
Check the dog tag!
Where's the tag? Eh! It's here.
Tang Lijun? The dog's name sounds so familiar!
Hide your stupidity, please. It's the master's name.
The master is that actress saying in a newspaper the other day that
it's very hard and tiring to be a celebrity.
Oh, yes. I really want to meet her.
Don't you know that Xixi is the most important thing in my life?
I warn you, I won't live if anything happens to my Xixi.
Oh, dear Xixi...
Don't worry, please. We have dialed
119, 110 and 112 to report to the fire control police, anti-robbery police and traffic police,
and we've also reported to a police station.
A-Wei, meal!Have something to eat.
No, I don't want to eat. Medicine!
Did you ever worry whether Xixi felt hungry?
Go and find her, asking for help from the TV stations, newspapers, everything.
We tried all of the channels.
They said they would help to find a lost person, but not a lost dog.
Did you tell them that it was Tang Lijun's dog?
Said.They said they wouldn't help even if it was Deng Lijun's dog.
Oh, Xixi...
Xixi! So you're finally back! Come, and let Mummy hug you.
Xixi, where have you been? You almost worried Mummy to death. Sorry, it was Mummy's fault.
There're lots of bad people wanting to eat meat. Do you know that?
You wanted to worry Mummy to death?
Come, let Mummy have a look at you. Oh, you gets thinner.
Come! Come here.
You don't know how hard it is to be a star.
It's also hard to a star's dog.
Director Liu of "Colors" wants you to be a program guest. Would you go?
No. Absolutely not! Didn't
I told you.except the CCTV Spring Festival Evening?
I won't attend any party.
Yes, I see.
She won't be there this time, but hopes for future cooperation. Fine. Good-bye.
Really terrible!
How I want to live as an ordinary person!
No endless telephone calls, no reporters, no signature-seeking fans.
no TV evenings, no roumors of the entertainment circle...
And no need to dine with those danmed businessmen...
How nice such a life is, even if it lasts only one day! No need to wear sunglasses...
That kind of life is really natural.
It's nothing for you to live an ordinary life.
But for me it's a distant dream.
Maybe we can help you to realize your dream.
Live a quiet life for some time.
Really? I'll feel grateful to you.
Xixi, thank aunts and uncles for me.
Can you give us due authorization.
entrusting to us all matters concerning your dream of being a nobody?
Aa, I'm sorry, but you have to sign one more time.
You know, I'm also a fan of yours.
But I'm willing to make sacrifice to avoid adding to your trouble.
You aren't joking, are you?
No. That's our business.
Now.
Mr. Yao Yuan, spokesman for Miss Tang Lijun.
Will anounce to all the friends in the media industry an important decision by Miss Tang.
The following is an important decision by Miss Tang Lijun.
Miss Tang Lijun has long served the people.
Though she's been loved and supported by her fans.
She feels really exhausted. For quite long a time,
she has cherished a dream of leaving the movie industry, saying good-bye to the vanity fair.
Return to an ordinary life...
After her careful consideration.
She decides as follows, From the day of announcement, she'll end all performances.
Refuse all related intervies...
We hope that her fans and her media friends can understand her.
We sincerely thank you for your consistent support.
Please pardon her for leaving you without saying good-bye to you.
This is an authorization letter signed by Miss Tang.
Next, Mr. Yao is ready to answer reporters' questions.
Good morning. I'm a reporter from the News.
Will she attend the CCTV Spring Festival Evening this year.
No. As I pointed out, she'll end all performances.
I'm a reporter from the Cable TV. Will she go to Hollywood to continue her career?
She'll go nowhere. Instead, she'll stay here, a land to which she attaches great love.
Thank you.
I'm a reporter from the Cultural News. What does she plan to do in the future?
To live as an ordinary person.
Thank you.
Will she marry Tom Cruise?
I can't answer your question.
It's said that she was hospitalized the other day. May we know the name of the hospital?
Her cough was already cured.
How time flies! It's autumn again.
The Jiaozi prepared by Aunt Qi is very delicious.
Ask Aunt Qi whether she also has any dream.
Let's give our aunt a dream free of charge.
Uh-huh, you're right...
It's really appetizing!
Brother Qian, shall we bring back Boss You?
He's lived in the mountains for two months. I totally forgot it.
Good! You've finally come.
Boss You has almost become a weasel. His eyes would send out green shine when the nights falls.
Does he want to eat meat now?
He even ate the rats. He seems ready to eat man.
Then we in the courtyard of the chicken is it right? Was he ate.
He's not soft to any chicken in our village.
Come! Let's say good-bye to my second uncle.
I've already said it to all the villagers.
I've been waiting for you to take me away every day at the kiln.
I won't get out of the car whatsoever.
I ensure you that you can't leave me here this time.
How can you behave like this?How can that be done.
You've eaten all the meat in the village.
Isn't it impolite now you're leaving without saying a word to them?
I know that I've done lots of harm to this village.
I'll definitely do a good deed for my village friends.
First, I'll invest to set up a chicken farm for them,
returning ten chickens to them for each that I ate.
Things will turn up, right? In several years, people living in the mountains will also get rich.
Then we have to send you to the deserts if you want to suffe hardships.
Stop your nonsense! I want to live together with lobsters all my life.
Hello, may I speak to people of the team for the New Year Evening?
Well, I'm the broker for Miss Tang Lijun.
Well.
Recently, Miss Tang has prepared a song named "I don't wanna say good-bye".
She wants to perform it for the audience at the evening.
So...What? Full?
Hey! Don't hang up. In that case,
can she be a guest? Ah?! OK. Well...
Bye-bye.
Did they agree?
They were afraid that your presence might bring harsh criticism by the audience
and affect the audience rating.
Well, that's OK. Besides movies, Miss Tang is also willing to act in TV plays...
...This time Miss Tang is willing to act without charging anything.
...OK.
Director, we hope that you can give some consideration to Miss Tang when there's a need.
OK. Thank you.
The director said that he wanted to try new staffs, so he wouldn't give you a part this time.
Aren't they hitting a person when he's down?
Let me take it.
Miss Tang, as our aftersales service, I'm calling to follow your current state.
Have you been living a relaxed life since becoming an ordinary person?
I can't bear it any more. I no longer want to be a nobody.
Make me a celebrity again, OK? I'm willing to pay any price.
It's not a question of money. Easy to come down. But it's difficult to go up again.
Can't we find a way out? You guys are all infinitely able...
Say, you can sue us for violating your... what's the name of the right?
The one that you entertainment people especially value?
Reputation right!
Yes, reputation right.
The reporters are especially interested in lawsuits concerning celebrities.
Their hypes may soon put you under the spotlight.
We may also benefit together with you. Please sue us. I beg you.
We'll pay all the fees for the lawsuit.
Miss Tang.
I'm sorry, but I must make a living, so I'm leaving you now.
I'll be working for an upstart model.
Miss Tang.
Are you also leaving me?
Go! Al of you.
Wait!
To thank you for your services during all these years, I'll sign for you one more time.
You already did it for us before.
Let me do it one more time, then. I cannot write well now for lacking practice for long.
Wang is not kind and honest. He told the director on me again.
Why is he so complacent? For owning that cheapest car?
The lab says the results won't be available until 5 minutes later.
The antemarrital check is unexpectedly complex.
No strange. You have the TV set checked before buying it.
You surely should have the person to marry checked thoroughly,
lest you should find him useless depsite his good look.
But you even don't have a good look.
Liver cancer.
Zeng Xiuqin is your?
Wife.
The doctor said she would last no more than a few months.
Does she know it herself?
She has returned to Qinghai Province.
You aren't from Beijing?
Yes, I am. But she's not.
We've lived in two different places for over 20 years.
You should urge her to come to Beijing to receive treatment in a hospital.
The doctor said that it's no use staying in a hospital.
He suggested I accompany her at home, making her happy in her last days.
Only this may lead to miracle.
I feel sorry to her.
She's married with me for so many years, but we still don't have a home in Beijing.
I still share a dormitory room with others.
Talk to your leaders about your situation and ask for a room.
Reunion is a dream for us.
Bye-bye. Thank you.
Careful! Good. Come on. Yes, give it to me.
OK.
Super Power Brother Qian and Liangzi have made.
The house a little lovely.now I'm a family man.
Were you a wild dog before? Smoke again?
The more I look at the house, the more I like it.
You didn't marry me just for the house, did you?
I'm filled with sympathy when I think of the man we met at the hospital.
Yes. We really should help them realize their dream of reunion.
Lend our house to them?
What about our honeymoon then?
Let them realize their dream first.
Where can we find him? We only know that his wife's name is Zeng Xiuqin.
Let's go and check it out at the hospital.
OK. You had this plan long before this?
Live here and don't worry...
...We can solve our problem.
Don't forget. Just tell her the factory has given you the house out of sympathy.
We didn't know each others before, but now you lend me your bridal chamber...
I wish you wouldn't feel offended, but...
She won't live long, right?
Now, please have your long-delayed honeymoon at my place.
Go. Go.
Did I just now say "lending them", right?
Yes, you said "lending".
I didn't say "Giving them", right?
No. You didn't say that.
Whew! Now I feel relieved.
Come in!
This is our home.
We've moved Heaven with our virtues.
Come on! Cheers!
Cheers!
No more. Bring liquor!
We've been busy.
Hardly have a chance to have a good drink together.
Yeah.
Well...
What's that saying?
"Drink like a drunkard with bossom friends, but remain a mute before disagreeable fellows."
Is that so? Don't laught. You three are all noble guys.
Wait! Brother Qian, you've been filling us with barrels of liquor.
Saying meaningless egghead words. I feel like...
I feel like being trapped by you.
Do you guys also feel so?
Yes, I do. I guess after finishing drinking he'll start talking about something unpleasant.
Do you agree?
Hey, what're you thinking about?
These days, I've been thinking of the house.
Suppose medicine gets more advanced and cures cancers.
we won't be able get back our house.
It seems to me you won't be able to get it back.
We said we only lent it to them, right?
But in my impression, he told us you gave it.
Please help me to recall it.
We'd better not make their dream come true "this life" instead of "today".
It seems...
...we lent it.
Why do you think "it seems" now?
You were that excited and said all kinds of generous words.
They might well take lending as giving.
Yes, indeed so.
Brothers, this time, I was over-generous.
That's fine, fulfilling their wishes, and...
You're really generous!
This is an example of noble conscientiousness.
Pshaw! Don't talk about conscientiousness.
If you want to say anything to make us feeling worse.The liquor will help us to bear it.
Say it now.
Look, he's beginning his unpleasant talk.
I feel that our business is growing daily popular...
Sure.
And we're getting more and more customers.Yes.
Whereas, pardon my vulgarity, we're making less and less money.
That's because whenever you were excited, you would decide not to charge.
Five out of ten times we volunteered. That was true.
Hmm, Liangzi, would you please let Brother finish his speech?
Hey, Brother Qian, I've got what you meant to say. We should be disbanded after this meal.
That's absolutely not what I want.
I just meant to say wether you think OK if we...
Lower our salaries a little?
I'm willing to work without salary.
Me, too. I only require free meals. How the masses need us...
...my dear comrades!
We two should solicit financial support, then, perhaps from those real estate developers.
Oh dear. How about turning it into a charity?
Right! A charity.
A charity.
Good!
Ah, I think we're really a group of people that love truth instead of money.
Rare and noble. Adjectives for describing whom?
To praise us!
No. Why should the country protect the great panda?
I feel that we also belong to the...
...the state-level class one protected species.
And...
...on the verge of extinction.
Yeah!
Come on! Cheers!
Yeah! Yeah!
hey!hey!hey!
Hi! Nice to see you. Please feel free to live here, as long as you like.
The Spring Festival has come. Let me greet our sister.
She's already gone.
You can hardly imagine how much she loved this home. She shined the glasses.
Scrubbed the floor. When she got too sick to move.
She asked me to support her as she worshipped the home...
Before she left, she said that she didn't feel sorry.
All the past hardships because she had enjoyed such a warm home.
A kind husband during her last days.
You can come home now.
We were all drunk that day and we all cried.
We said lots of heart-to-heart words.
It was an unforgettable night.
Several days later, Beiyan and I held our official wedding.
Her parents had a talk with me.
asking me whether I had lied about my age.
I told them that I had always looked oder than my age ever since my childhood.
Now the year 1997 is over. I miss it.
