Episode 25
Yes, I understand.
I wrote down the place.
Okay.
I?ll go straight to the location in a bit.
Right, just me.
Dad,
what are you talking about?
What do you mean, what?
What place?
What place are you going straight to?
I-it?s like this...
What!?
You?re entering the Wild King of Karaoke?
I knew you?d laugh at me.
But I?m clear about what I?m doing.
I have to make money.
I need to help you and Ding Ling live content lives.
Dad,
why would I laugh at you?
I support you.
Good luck.
You don?t think
you?ll be embarrassed
if I enter?
Why would this embarrass me?
You?re a rock star!
You?ll give them something to see.
Make them understand what
?rock isn?t dead? means.
Rock!
My daughter is right.
Mm.
I?ll give them something to see.
By the way,
it?s almost time.
I gotta go.
?Kay.
Oh right.
Absolutely do not tell Ding Ling about this.
Rest assured, I?ll keep your secret.
Good luck.
Why?d you change your style?
Didn?t you say you needed to attend a meeting?
I missed you so I came here.
Let?s get in the car.
In a bit, I?ll take you someplace.
Why did you bring me to a hospital?
Do you still remember this place?
This is where I first saw you.
You didn?t see me,
but you made a deep impression.
Take a walk with me.
Careful.
Xiu Qi.
Ting Ting.
Still worried about the guitar part?
I?ll take that.
I?m not...
A little bit.
Just a little bit?
Is there something else then?
I?m wondering
whether I
pushed Luo Man too hard or not.
What do you mean?
I don?t want to force her to be with me.
Who?s forcing themselves?
Luo Man likes you too.
Did you two have a quarrel?
No.
It?s just that...
Forget it.
It might just be me over thinking it.
Relax, Caring Brother.
It?s Luo Man?s luck that she can find such a dependable boyfriend like you.
Don?t let your own convictions waver.
Understand?
Okay.
Thank you, Ting Ting.
Hearing you say that
gives me peace of mind.
What?s peaceful about it?
Come on, they?re waiting for us.
Okay.
Hello to everyone watching.
I invite you to tune into
the first round of Wild King of Karaoke,
and the fight for the monthly champion.
Out of the 5 contestants competing
in this first round, the strongest will have
the chance to come up on this stage
and sing one of their hit songs
from the past,
bringing back sweet, sweet memories
to everyone?s mind.
Alright, enough talking.
Let?s have our 5 contestants
come to the sparkling stage.
They are...
Gao Ge!
Li Hong!
Zhao Lun!
and Hong Fei!
You are...?
Luo Hai Bin.
And this is our Hai Bin.
Alright.
We?ve now met all of the competitors
standing on the stage.
Enough talking!
The competition starts soon.
Today?s game is
hitting a watermelon blindfolded.
The competitor who can smash their watermelon
jumps into the ocean and holds their breath underwater.
Whoever holds it the longest moves forward.
Whoever holds it the shortest will be eliminated.
I-I can?t swim.
Okay.
The event begins immediately!
Everyone is standing in their places.
In a moment, our staff should blindfold them.
After being blindfolded,
the contestant will lean against this bat
and spin around 10 times.
Then, they?ll grab the bat
and head towards where they think their watermelon is.
After smashing the watermelon, they can jump into the ocean
and compete in the underwater breath-holding competition.
You got it?
Everyone!
Wasn?t it a blindfold?
Okay.
Everyone ready?
On your mark...
Go!
Head towards your watermelon and smash it!
Hurry up!
Oh no, wrong again.
Go for it!
The watermelon?s in front of you.
Go for it!
The watermelon?s in front of you.
Go for it!
Okay!
Contestant Hong Fei has smashed his watermelon.
According to our rules,
Hong Fei,
you can take off your helmet,
go in the ocean and hold your breath!
All other contestants, keep working at it!
Go for it!
Okay!
Contestant Gao Ge?s watermelon
was smashed by Hai Bin.
Gao Ge!
You can take off your helmet and go to the ocean to hold your breath!
Keep going! Keep going!
There are still two watermelons.
Okay.
Contestant Li Hong?s watermelon was also smashed by Hai Bin.
According to our rules,
you can get in the ocean and hold your breath!
Contestant Zhao Lun has also smashed his watermelon.
You can hold your breath in the ocean.
Hai Bin, you?re the final one remaining!
You have to keep working at it!
You have to keep at it!
Keep at it!
Go for it, Hai Bin!
The watermelon?s in front of you.
Go for it!
Go for it, Hai Bin!
Okay!
Go for it!
Okay!
Hai Bin has finally smashed his own watermelon!
You can also go into the ocean and hold your breath!
However
the other contestants have already gotten far ahead of you.
Contestant Hai Bin,
you?re in danger of being eliminated!
You can?t say that until the end!
Go for it!
Go for it! Go for it! Go for it!
Go for it!
Dad,
why would I laugh at you?
I support you.
Work hard.
I think this ring is great.
Even if it?s a bit big,
it really suits me.
The final one to be promoted
is
Hai Bin!
Miraculous!
What a miraculous recovery!
Hai Bin nabbed a miraculous victory!
Hai Bin, c?mere.
Give our viewers watching
a happy smile!
Bro,
it?s just a game.
Why are you playing so desperately?
Professor Luo!
Professor Luo.
I?ve liked your songs since I was a kid.
I?m happy to see you making a reappearance today.
Well... you see... that...
Th... thank you for just then.
You?re too polite.
You should take a rest.
Like I said,
I was right to enter you in the competition.
Your performance was awesome.
Really awesome.
You really made it to the finals.
I also know that
the last two numbers are really tiring.
Relax, relax.
But you can?t relax in tomorrow?s finals.
The monthly champion?s prize
isn?t a small amount.
That song...
Bro?
*Song and brother are pronounced the same in Chinese - ?ge.? He thinks Hai Bin is calling him ?brother,? which would indicate he respects him.
Don?t be so polite.
Don?t be polite and call me that.
No, I?m saying...
Didn?t you say getting the prize
meant being able to sing on stage?
Of course, of course.
Do your best.
I?m keeping my eye on you.
Watching you.
Getting it down at my level
will be awfully difficult.
If we can find another
skilled guitarist, that?d be best.
For this band, that won?t be easy.
Where would we find a skilled guitarist?
It?s just adding another member,
but it?s not very realistic.
Then,
all we can do is change songs.
That?s better than embarrassing ourselves on stage.
I know who to find.
Who?
Forget it.
Thank you.
Keep working.
Okay.
Who is it?
Me.
I brought some good food.
It?s not century eggs again, is it?
Macaroons.
Really?
How?d you afford this?
I wanted to have a little celebration.
Celebration for what?
Uh...
Hot days.
Hot days?
That is...
The start of summer.
I?ll go pour some water.
Hot days...
What happened today?
I...
I... that... in that...
Meet... had a meeting at Nan Yang University.
Really?
Really!
(Every Saturday and Sunday at 2 PM. Ye Feng Zhai Beach!)
When you said you wanted to bring me dinner,
I thought it?d be a boxed meal (bento).
You think I can cook?
I have something to discuss with you.
Discuss with me?
What is it?
Everybody,
do you really think Zhang Hao can find a suitable main guitarist?
He said he could.
He must be able to.
He?s a foreigner.
Does he knows other talents besides us?
Don?t tell me
it?s a Western girl.
That?d be nice.
You?re all here.
Good.
Hello.
Hey.
Thanks for coming.
How?ve you been?
Not bad.
I made up with Tang Bo Wen.
That?s great.
Did you call me over
for a specific reason?
Yeah, um...
I wanted to ask
whether you could be our band?s main guitar player.
We?re about to enter a competition.
What competition?
A campus music festival competition.
It?s very important to our band.
Let me think about it.
Sure thing.
But I need
to know your answer soon.
Do you guys think
our band
feels off now?
Far more than ?off.?
I have no idea what Zhang Hao?s thinking.
He just can?t cut ties with that girl.
I think Zhang Hao did that with the band in mind.
Shu Qing has a lot of experience performing.
I can?t believe
he?s not being even a bit selfish.
This is called killing two birds with one stone.
Couldn?t you all be quieter?
I?m reviewing.
Ting Ting.
I don?t understand.
Are we at the cafeteria right now
or the library?
You being concerned about your stupid band
rather than your own futures is your own business.
I, on the other hand, am thinking about my future.
A group of aimless kids.
Who says we have no goals?
Xiu Qi!
Tell her what our goals are!
No cavities!
You sure you?re smart?
The Best-Looking Newbie award.
If we can get the Best-looking Newbie award in the competition,
we can protect the band.
But
how can we nab that award?
Do the best you can.
You have the capability.
You too, Ma Jun Cai.
Really?
Yeah.
I?ll need to practice,
but it?s not a problem.
Of course.
You?ve played much more complicated solos than this.
You?ll have no problem.
Um... your fianc�...
Does he know you joined the band?
He knows.
I have something to discuss with you.
Discuss with me?
What is it?
Do you remember Zhang Hao?
Of course.
How could I not?
He sought me out
to be their band?s main guitarist
and enter a competition.
Don?t think too much.
Their band is entering a very important competition.
They?re just missing a main guitarist.
Didn?t you say you wanted to discuss something?
Yeah.
I think you?ll agree.
I?m happy
you asked me about it.
Go ahead.
I support you.
Since I?ve accepted your bribery,
there?s no way I can refuse.
Then I should
thank him.
He?s not the one being your guitarist.
Right.
You were determined
when you sought me out, weren?t you?
Yeah.
We had no other options.
Was it really for the band
or was it for Luo Man?
I hit the mark.
Actually,
Luo Man is with Xiu Qi.
They?re good together.
You know
what I most admire about you?
What?
You never force yourself.
You like who you like,
and you can say what you don?t like.
You never conceal how you feel.
But you?re being hesitant now.
It?s not like you.
I?m not
hesitant.
Really?
Then why can I tell
you like Luo Man from one glance,
but that you?re running away from the issue?
Dad! You got in the finals!
You?re so awesome!
Didn?t I tell you?
Rock?s not dead.
Yeah, yeah.
Dad, what?s wrong with your arm?
I?m fine, I?m fine.
Just a scratch, a scratch.
Dad, tonight are the finals.
I?ll go cheer you on.
Okay.
But...
I have to work tonight.
That?s okay.
You don?t have to come.
It?s just a little competition.
Mm.
My dad will win for sure.
What?s wrong?
It?s nothing.
Don?t worry.
I?ll definitely win.
Mm.
Go for it, Dad.
Go on.
?You come over with a smile on your face
?The corner of your mouth lifts up
?We can?t hide the distance
?The hearts of two people once pasted together
?Now left behind and half-familiar
?On the crossroads you held me, told me not to cry
?Expression lingering on hesitation
?I know it doesn?t matter
?We bless each other to hide carefully come tomorrow
?I lost you
Okay.
Our competition has heated up.
Next up is our final stage,
which is
eating live oysters.
You might be asking,
?What?s so interesting about that??
Come.
Direct your attention over here.
Let?s ask our staff
to take the roasted live oysters
and place them in front of our contestants.
Come, if you will.
So many.
Can you eat that all?
What a smell that is.
Okay.
Now that two plates are in front of our contestants.
The rules are
whoever cleans their plates first
is the winner!
Not only does the prize of money await you,
but also the chance to be on stage
and sing
a song from your past!
Let?s ask our two contestants,
are you ready?
Alright.
Get set,
start!
Go for it!
In the midst of our competition,
I have an small surprise
announcement for everyone.
In order to enjoy our competition even more,
we set up a segment of dumping water.
Every 15 seconds, a bucket of sea water
is poured on our contestants!
Keep at it!
Okay.
Hong Fei has already eaten 15 live oysters.
As for Hai Bin,
he?s only eaten 13.
Hai Bin needs to keep at it!
Cheer on Hai Bin, everybody!
Keep at it, Hai Bin!
Keep at it, Hong Fei!
Keep at it! Keep at it! Keep at it!
I don?t know what?s going on.
Hai Bin has slowed down completely.
At this time, Hong Fei has already eaten 25 live oysters,
whereas Hai Bin?s only eaten 18.
Their difference is growing ever larger.
Cheer Hai Bin on.
Keep at it, Hai Bin!
Keep at it, Hong Fei!
Keep at it!
Cheer Hai Bin on, everyone!
You gotta keep going, Hong Fei!
I don?t know what?s wrong.
Hai Bin has completely checked out of the competition.
Everyone who?s watched so far knows
Hai Bin
is someone who can surprise us.
In today?s competition,
he has once again surprised us.
Keep at it, Hai Bin!
Keep at it, Hong Fei!
Keep at it!
Hai Bin, keep at it!
Luo Hai Bin!
Keep at it!
Keep at it, Luo Hai Bin!
Keep at it!
You?re the best!
Alright, now we see
Hai Bin jumping back into this competition.
He?s moving and eating at a much quicker rate!
He?s gradually reducing the distance between him and Hong Fei.
Keep at it, Hai Bin!
Keep at it, Hong Fei!
Keep at it, Hai Bin!
Let?s cheer Hai Bin on!
Keep at it, Hai Bin!
Keep at it, Hong Fei!
Keep at it, Hai Bin!
Keep at it, Hong Fei!
Keep at it, Hai Bin!
Let?s cheer Hai Bin on!
Keep at it, Hai Bin!
Keep at it, Hong Fei!
Keep at it, Hai Bin! Keep at it!
Keep at it, Hong?
How unfortunate. Hong Fei has begun throwing up.
This is foreboding.
He?s removed himself from the competition.
Our champion is
Hai Bin!
Hai?
Hai Bin has nabbed the champion title.
He has once again
given us an unexpected surprise!
Let?s cheer for him!
Hai Bin!
Luo Hai Bin!
I love you! You?re awesome!
?You found a reason
?To balance me
?You found an excuse
?To accept me
?I know what you?re thinking
?But you can?t see how I feel
?Sky so black
?Wind so cold
?You say it?s time
?That?s teasing us
?It?s difficult to escape
?From the cracks that appear in reality
?Don?t say it?s a one time passing indulgence
?And that I sunk into a tough situation
?I?m so tired
?I hurt so much
?Do you love me or not?
?I?m at a loss for words
?Love me or not?
?My life might go smoothly if I rip away the sham
?Love me or not?
?I don?t know what I should do
?Do you love me or not?
?Wake yourself up and you won?t suffer again
I?m scared this time
if I don?t tell you the truth,
I?ll regret it.
?I would rather carry all the blame
?Than see you cry bitterly
?I would rather forget all this pain
?Than confront your ignorant impulses again
?Do you love me or not?
?(Love me or not?)
?I?m at a loss for words
?Do you love me or not?
?(Love me or not?)
?Wake yourself up and you won?t suffer again
?Do you love me or not?
Me...
All I need is for you to sing to me everyday.
Sing for you everyday?
Yesterday
when I gave you those macaroons,
y-you were really happy.
You can?t change your body either then.
How?s your leg?
How?d you know?
Think about it.
Will you be daring enough
to lie to me in the future?
I would never.
I won the competition today.
How about I treat you to a feast?
We can eat anything?
Anything.
Choose.
I want to eat...
live oysters.
Live oysters!
