My parents have booked me a plane ticket.
I'm going to Beijing to study.
Han Xu doesn't like me anymore!
He likes Bei Lin!
I thought that if I keep being good to you like this,
you will see me.
But now, I can't wait for it anymore.
Because you've fallen in love with another person.
Jian Dan!
I'll ask you again. Where did Jian Dan go?!
- Jian Dan! Where are you?! - I'm here!
- It's me!
I came to save you!
Zhou Mo.
Your competition is coming soon, right?
I heard that we would be gathered together for a training.
Then, we won't see each other for more than ten days!
Do you have a wish? But I do.
But it has already come true, now.
It's a unilateral love. If I gambled, then I must accept defeat.
I'm part of the humanities class from now on.
We're friends forever.
- Is yours still with you? - Of course.
With You
[2006, Early, Beijing]
Where are you?
The last time you called, you said that you're about to arrive.
Why are you so unreliable?!
Geng Geng!
I miss you so much!
Uncle, Aunt.
I'll help you with that.
I'll do it! I'll do it!
Eat. Eat a lot.
Hey, is anyone courting you?
- Really? - It's true!
Did anyone bully you?
Is that possible?
With your personality, no one can bully you. Only you bully them.
Hey, what are you doing?!
You have a tattoo?
This isn't a tattoo.
No, why are you a bit rebellious now?
This is my lucky charm.
Yu Huai drew this.
- That... is there any gossip about our class? - What do you want to hear?
Forget that I ask.
Zhang Ping
and Shen Hong are together.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
I think the two of them
are quite compatible.
- Really? - Yes. - How come I don't think so?
What?
Am I a person
who can't move on from the past?
Am I right? Still laughing?
[Episode 21: Geng Geng, My Three years Were All in Vain.]
Slow down! Do you understand what I said?
You must realize the importance of this.
Success or failure, all depends on this!
Think about the efforts you've put these past years.
Your hope for the college entrance exam
isn't as high as that in the competition.
But at the face of an impending exam,
you can't relax, right?
Enough, Mom. I know it already.
Fine. Fine. Come.
- Slow down. Slow down. - Parents are not allowed in.
- What? - This is a closed-door training.
Parents are not allowed in.
This is my son. This competition
is really very important for him.
It's the same for anyone. This is the rule.
Mom, go back already. Stop worrying.
Fine then. I'll go back first.
You must work hard. Fighting.
- I believe you. - Okay.
- Aunt, goodbye. - Goodbye.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
Hey, we're here. Here.
Yo, you two were quite early.
- Hello. Hello. - Hello.
Fan Bin, the 'bin' of combining 'wen' and 'wu'.
My name is Zhou Mo, which literally means Sunday.
No one treated you as a Sunday, right?
None. Please take good care of me from now on.
Oh, Yu Huai.
I'm quite all right with physics. That... let's learn from each other.
Sure. Let's learn from each other.
You even have a tattoo. Is that for real?
- What are you doing?! - What's wrong?
What's wrong with touching it?
It's fine. It's fine.
It's a fate for us being able to live together, right?
- You... what's your name? - Zhao Shi.
Okay. Take good care of us more from now on.
- Hello. - Hello.
Why are you not talking?
I think it's also quite fine to be like this.
How are things over there?
Being among the top elites, do you feel very pressured?
Jeez, in my eyes, they aren't worth anything.
Hey, I feel that the people here are a bit retarded from studying too much.
Ah? What's wrong?
Today, a dorm mate of mine
saw the check mark on my arm and thought it was a tattoo.
He then approached me and tried to rub it.
- Did he erase it? - He dared to?
Of course, I risked my life to guard it.
I will check it when you come back.
I won't take a bath today then.
You'll still call me tomorrow, right?
Of course. Didn't we agree to encourage each other?
Okay already. I won't talk to you anymore.
Did you call your girlfriend?
Ah, maybe.
Hey, that fake tattoo, was drawn by her?
- Envious? - Indeed.
Hey, cellphone aren't allowed in here.
Why haven't you submitted it yet?
One, two, three!
Thank you.
Hurry! Hurry!
Hey, come over here. It wasn't easy to be here so you two take a picture together.
- I won't anymore! - Jeez, hurry up!
Give me a smile. Make your expression more natural.
One, two, three!
Isn't it so strict?
Everyone must handover their cellphone.
We won't be able to keep in touch now.
But it's fine, too.
No. No. Don't get agitated. I didn't mean it that way.
I'm saying that my heart is still always with you.
Let's work hard together.
You mustn't lose to me.
I miss you.
Why are you here?
Hurry up.
There's someone here. I'm hanging up.
Okay, be good. Okay. Okay. Mwah! Is that okay now?
- So cheesy. - It's quite normal.
- Hence, we must really submit our cellphones? - This temporary separation
will make our reunion be more passionate.
I'm asking one last time.
Who hasn't submitted their cellphone yet?
Okay. Since all of you came here, you surely know why you're here.
If I discover
that you didn't handover your cellphone...
Okay already. Everyone, start answering now.
Pass the paper after twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes?
There are so many people applying for the directing course.
Don't you love photography? Why did you apply for a directing course?
She's old. Just let her choose.
Geng Geng!
Time's up!
Time's up.
As contestants,
you all should have been able to answer these questions without much thinking.
With this test question, you all should already have an initial understanding of yourself.
Next, we'll only do three things.
Eat, sleep, and answer questions.
So, your school looks like this.
How is it? Not bad, right?
Do you still skip classes?
Say, without Pan Yuansheng controlling me,
skipping classes have become boring.
Yo, Little Lu!
Another new girlfriend?
Stop with your nonsense.
Isn't she that...
Got it. Going now.
What does she know?
Why was she looking at me like that?
Ah... that... Do you want to check our art gallery?
This is actually still my favorite.
[Beijing Film Academy 2016 Entrance Exam Admission ID]
Hey, could you have expected a question like this?
Which illness makes drinking tea contraindicated?
There were choices of stomach ulcer, kidney failure.
Oh, my, I didn't come to apply for Medicine.
Is the pressure quite huge over there?
In my dictionary, the word "pressure" doesn't exist.
It would be great if I have your attitude.
Don't you admire me? Then work hard to catch up.
Don't get so far behind.
Yes, I surely will.
Hey, they've posted it. Let's go take a look.
What's wrong?
I don't want to look.
Look at how cowardly you are. Your mother and I will look then.
Wait. Wait.
Fine then. I'll wait for you two by the gates.
Hello, Teacher Wang.
Teacher Wang.
Your name is Yu Zhun, right?
It's Yu Huai, three strokes on the side.
[Beijing Film Academy]
- Yeah! - I passed?
I checked it thrice.
The student number is right.
Yeah! I passed!
Okay already. Let's go back and celebrate.
Okay. I'll go get us a cab.
- Hey, you two wait for me first. - Okay.
Geng Geng!
Chen Xuejun?
It's a bit messy. Just sit anywhere.
[Yu Huai Calling]
Never thought it would be such a coincidence to meet you here.
- You're applying for the acting course? - Right.
Your phone is ringing.
It's yours, right?
I didn't notice.
- Hello. - Why didn't you answer my call earlier?
You also didn't reply to my text.
I didn't get the time to reply. You... how was your exam?
- I passed. - Congratulations!
Thank you.
Oh, right. Once you're back, I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Hand it over.
Hello? Hello?
Boyfriend?
No. No.
Actually, I also find our meeting quite coincidental.
Do you like movies, too?
Not really that strong of a liking.
I just want to get into a university here in Beijing.
- You like Beijing? - It's the capital city.
Our country's economic, political, and cultural center.
You're like memorizing a book.
What about you? Why do you want to get into Beijing Film Academy?
For fun.
I got to know a friend before that's in the theater field.
He asked me to play a leading lady part.
But in reality, he was just hitting on me.
But when I went to act it, I found it interesting.
Oh, right. We also have this impromptu work exam.
Can you teach me?
I do want to teach you,
but... I also am not sure if I'm just doing this on a whim.
I feel that you can do it.
For a person like me who doesn't know anything
and only has a good face left,
I can only take up acting.
Hence, since I don't know anything
and isn't that good-looking,
I can only rely on a directing major.
Isn't that a magnetic field question?
It's not even an integration exam yet and you can't do it anymore?
Get lost.
- Yo, done taking a bath? - Yes.
Are you still doing the questions?
Isn't that a magnetic field question?
It's way easier than integration questions.
- Where are you going? - To get some air.
Hey, Boss, do you have a phone card?
There's no use even if you have one. It's long been broken!

Hey, why haven't you blown your hair dry yet?
Jeez, you scared me.
Why are you done so fast?
Why would you need so much time to take a bath?
- Mom, you've worn that sleeping clothes for several years already, right? - Yes.
Why don't you buy a new one?
If you can still wear it, then make do with it. It saves trouble.
In the future, you would have a lot of things that you can use your money for.
- Mom. - Yeah?
They all are using their 100% to love me.
Loving to the point that they didn't leave any for themselves,
while I was able to get double the amount.
Why did you bring me to Central Academy of Drama?
Aren't you agonizing over the acting project for your second round exam?
Ha? You even know the teachers here?
You'll know once we go in.
This way.
I want you to never see people from the Zhou family!
Okay, Mom!
No, you must make a vow.
- Why the need for that? - No.
- You must say it. - Pretend you're reading a script.
Why did you bring me here?
Do you know what acting is?
- I also don't know. - You...
Do you know Davinci?
- Davinci? - Yeah.
You're talking about that one in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, right?
I know. I know.
I saw a few of his drawings.
But one time, I saw a draft of his.
Do you know how much thought he puts just to make a drawing?
For just one character's movement,
composition, or demeanor, he has to draw multiple drafts
before he finally decides. Hence, I think acting is the same, too.
The performances you see is already the result.
Hence, just to learn,
I feel that you should watch these preparatory works. I think it will be more useful.
What?
I just feel that it's rare to see you seriously talking about something.
Of course, I'm serious about your matter.
Oh, right, one more thing.
Let's have dinner tonight. My treat.
Some other day.
After coming to Beijing for quite some time, I've been always at a rush and haven't had a decent meal with my family.
But tomorrow, we all will be going outside the city for landscape painting.
I don't know when I'll see you again.
- Fine then. I'll call my mother later. - Okay.
Why are you so happy? It's your treat.
Are you stupid?
Of course, I'm happy.
Come out.
Teacher Wang.
I just want to see what my grade was in our test yesterday.
Handover the cellphone.
Teacher Wang, I didn't—
I don't know what you've been thinking all day.
[67]
If I'm you, I won't be able to sleep right now.
I understand.
I just want to make a last call.
Hello, don't hang up.
The subscriber you've dialed is busy now.
Sorry, please hold on.
The subscriber you've dialed is busy now.
If your focus isn't on the competition, then do as you please.
Take the cellphone away and call whoever you like.
Where are you? What time will you be back?
I'm watching plays with my friend. I told you that.
Come back early today.
I heard of a good restaurant.
Let's have dinner later.
That, Mom, I want to tell you something.
Oh, right. I would be boarding the plane early morning tomorrow. I have an urgent meeting to go back to.
It's rare to be coming here. I haven't treated you to a decent meal yet.
Oh, right, what were you saying earlier?
Nothing. I'll be back in a while.
- Lu Xinghe. - It's okay. I heard everything.
Your mother's voice is quite loud.
Really so sorry.
It's okay. Let me take you back.
I've calculated it. All these are enough until the day of your exam.
This... you bought all these?
Right. I rushed towards here upon getting off the bus.
I don't know the area around here.
I was afraid that there's no convenience store nearby,
so it would be a waste of my trip.
Oh, right. I skipped a math class today.
I might need to leave soon, or else, I won't be able to catch the bus.
- Jian Dan. - Yeah?
You're so good to me.
What's wrong?
I'm not a conscienceless person.
I remember all your kindness.
All these food are yours!
You mustn't share it with Yu Huai.
Sure. I guarantee.
Silly thing. I was just joking.
You two are such good friends.
You would have forgotten about me the next minute.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
I'm a bit worried about Yu Huai.
Yu Huai? What's wrong with him?
His state these past days doesn't seem good.
He also has a day off?
- It's here, right? - Yes. Thanks.
- You... - What about me?
You're not mad at me, right?
I promised to eat with you, but took it back.
Mainly because—
Am I that petty?
What are you doing?!
How come you can't be serious beyond two minutes?
I'm indeed a bit upset,
but I'm not mad.
I just feel that I won't be seeing you soon.
Hey, you still like your seatmate, right?
I...
I thought that after coming to Beijing, after having a new life,
I won't like you that much anymore.
But upon seeing you again, I'm still quite happy.
Seeing how you're doing well here in Beijing, I'm also happy.
Hey! You're doing it again!
Hope we'll see each other again.
The number you dialed is powered off.
Please call again later.
Where did you go?
Come. Cheers.
Shouldn't you say something first?
Let's celebrate that our Geng Geng was able to pass the first stage!
Compared to the first exam,
being able to see Geng Geng's hard work and maturity during the process, I feel so comforted.
- Hey, Old Geng. - Yes?
I've regretted not being able to be part of Geng Geng's growth all these years.
Seeing how you've taken care of her so well these past years,
you've worked hard.
I'll offer you a toast.
Why are you being so courteous with me? I don't know what to say anymore.
That is because our daughter spared us from too much worrying.
Dad, Mom, actually, I feel that I...
...made you two worry quite a lot.
I also was quite insensible before. Always squabbling with you.
But in coming here to Beijing, I had a chance to reflect on my actions.
Also, I understood a lot of things.
Anyway, thank you to you two!
Our daughter has grown up. Come. Come.
Cheers.
Experimental questions are everyone's weakness.
Every time, there would be missed steps or the operation wasn't accurate enough.
This time, you all must put a lot of focus.
This time, we'll do an electrical circuit experiment. I'm requesting everyone to design an experiment
Convert the calculations of a complex direct circuit into a simple direct circuit.
Start now.
Quickly. Do you want to get scolded again?
Next group, be ready. For the others, please wait for a while.
Hey, Brother Liu, you're also here to take the exam? What have you been doing lately?
Didn't I just finish filming?
Since we're taking an exam, how could you not have any works to present?
With your qualities, everyone would be competing to have you.
Hey, Little Miss, you're also here to take up directing?
Yes.
Have you filmed anything?
- No. - Someone in your family is into this?
I just came to try it.
Okay. Group Three, prepare to go in.
Hey, it's our turn. Let's go.
Hey, Zhou Mo, I'll get going first. Help keep watch for me.
Huh? Where are you going? Hey, where are you going?
Yu Huai did this?
Students, please introduce yourselves first.
Hello, Respected Teachers of Beijing Film Academy.
My name is Liu Ge. I actually applied last year, too.
In the end, my craft still wasn't qualified enough.
- Hence, I prepared— - Okay already.
Just make your introduction simple, okay? Next one.
Hello, Teachers. My name is Zhang Tao from Hebei's No. 6 High School.
I feel that movies is an art of creating dreams.
I want to give my whole life to the movie art.
Next one.
My name is Geng Geng.
It's fine. Don't be nervous.
Just tell us in a simple manner your basic situation.
Hello, Teachers. My name is Geng Geng, a pair of duplicated words.
I usually like taking photos. My classmate said that I
am quite suitable to enter a film academy, so I thought...
...of giving it a try.
Next one.
- Hello, Teachers. My name is Zhang Tingting, from— - Okay.
Your group's theme is waiting for a person.
You are in a bus stop waiting for someone.
A very important person.
Go off first to think about it. The group earlier, come up here.
Start.
- Say, why is this person not here yet? What's going on? - It's been so long.
Enough! Stop waiting for him. If you're going to wait for him, I'm telling you that you might die doing so.
- He's always like this. - That's right. When was he on time?
- Right? - This person is so not punctual.
The first time we agreed to meet, he's already like this.
- He shouldn't always be like this. - It's making me mad.
Once he comes, we must punish him to drink two more spring water.
I'm so thirsty.
What to do? There's no point complaining. What should we do?
The subscriber you dialed has powered off.
Please just call later.
The subscriber you dialed has powered off.
[Three missed calls]
- Hello. - Hello.
Is there anyone? Talk.
Hello! Hello, Geng Geng!
Is it Yu Huai?
Right! It's me! It's me! I'm Yu Huai!
Can you hear me?!
I couldn't hear you well. There are a lot of background noises.
But... it should be you.
Damn you!
Why did you disappear for so long?
Didn't we agree that you'll prepare for the competition, while I'll join the talent entrance exam.
We would call each other everyday to encourage each other?
Where the hell did you go?
I... have tried my best.
I've kept thinking of you.
I also miss you.
What's wrong with me?
Yu Huai, fighting.
You're the person I admire.
Hello?! Geng Geng?!
Hello, Geng Geng?! Hello?!
Hello, Geng Geng, can you hear me?!
Hello!
That student, time's up.
Sorry, sorry, Teachers!
This student, wait for a while.
Your name is Geng Geng, right?
Because your name is Geng Geng,
you imagined a guy named Yu Huai, right?
In this mental story of yours, is Yu Huai your boyfriend?
"Geng geng yu huai" (putting into heart), quite sweet.
Yu Huai... is not my boyfriend.
Did you come up with this plot?
I didn't think of it.
I indeed answer a call.
You really answered a call?
Teacher, I was wrong.
Is one not allowed to answer a call while in here?
Mainly because I have a classmate who's taking his exam.
I want to give him some encouragement.
It's so realistic.
Okay, you may go now.
Yu Huai, rest for a while.
The exam is tomorrow. Relax a little.
You two just play. I'll just read for a little while more.
Zhou Mo, this brother of yours is really good.
- I think he has a chance. - Of course.
Yu Huai is my disciple.
Trio eight plus one three.
Okay. Start answering your exam.
Then, I'll look at it for you again?
- I'll look at it myself. - Okay.

Sorry the subscriber you dialed...
Yu Huai, I didn't get in.
You... must do well.
[Second Test Center]
This is too extreme. Item number five is actually an integration of three topics.
At first, I thought it was mechanics and almost got it wrong.
What about the integrated questions? We've already practiced—
Get out first before talking about it!
Geng Geng, my past three years were in vain.
~ Preview ~
- Geng Geng. - Yeah.
Do you love seeing me cry so hard like a loser?
Did I disappoint you?
Someone committed suicide!
So, it's impossible to get the top prize?
Your actions not only didn't decrease his stress, but increased it more.
Have you truly tried to understand him?
Right now, you're being a loser!
Do you know who is the person you're wronging the most right now?
It's Geng Geng!
After the college entrance exam. Pinky swear.
You don't have any talent. Give it up.
I'm really... a bit tired.
