Ke!
No need to dance today
Just strip naked and lay on that cross
Quick!
Yang Ke, come on
The round one
The square one
Have you found it?
"A flower is an universe. A leaf is a Buddha"
Sister Yin!
Sister Yin
What's the hurry? I have a lifetime for you
His father passed away before he was born
He may have reincarnated as this child
He is still by your side, so no need to be sad
His father has passed him the discounted fortune
You are the only one I trust
You won't cheat me, right?
The group leader just disappeared like that?
None of you got a single penny back?
You got totally ripped off
Fellow countryman, let's be partners
I wanted to quit this job ages ago
I can be your agent
Let's split the profit 30/70. You 70 and me 30
You are talented and I am well connected
My friend is after a model for a wedding gown photoshoot
He needs to be tall, wealthy looking and gorgeous
Tall, wealthy, gorgeous...
Go away!
Claf!
Lie down!
I quit!
I don't want the money
I said I couldn't do it
I will pay any compensation, just let me go!
Let him go please
Shut up!
He is my brother
Leave the costume
Now...
We don't have enough actors
Pony, you take over
Action!
"Outdoor nude model wanted"
Half now, half after
Be swift!
Strip naked and run down there
Over there
There
Handsome, where do you come from?
Shandong
No wonder you're so tall
I'm the only tall one in my family
So many mosquitoes
Now the shooting starts
Turn your body a little
A hand on your head
Both hands now, and spread your legs
Move your hand away
Don't try to hide your dick
Now sit down
Open your legs wide
Wider
Kid you're really good looking
You should be an actor
I am a Beijing Opera performer
But the theatre group went bankrupt
We're owed half a year of wages
Now I can't even pay my rent
Touch your breast
Let yourself look sexier
That's much better
Raise your ass
Lean backward
Now turn over
Now turn over, hurry!
Now hold your genitals
Grabbing it
Don't cover it
Just hold it
That's gorgeous
Thank you handsome, bye now!
Get famous sooner, and we'll publish your photo album then
"Outdoor nude model wanted"
Look, my friend bought this in Thailand
Did you enjoy it?
This shot is a bit too long
You went all the way!
Didn't it hurt?
It wasn't real, was it?
You haven't worn anything in the movie so far
Finished!
That's hardly been 30 minutes"-
Don't be mad
Let me handle this
Boss Xu
Wang Qiang, what's up?
Eh...
You bastard!
What's the fuss?
All actors have to start from somewhere. Even superstars
Boss Xu, that doesn't make sense
We agreed to shoot art films only
Yang Ke is an artist after all
I say this is art
Both the director and I graduated from Art Uni
We have written hundreds of scripts since
Only this genre attracts investors
By the way
I am not the boss
I am just an agent, a parasite like you
You are such a conman!
What about Venice?
The film festival you promised?
You can't be still dreaming about that
It was just my...
There's no way we can get into such an elite film festival
We can't even afford the travel expenses
Be realistic, young man
You ruined Ke's image
You must compensate us
Sure
I was about to call
Actually, Ke should thank me
Soon after the release
Wealthy women came specifically for him
I am gay!
Really? The male patrons have deeper pocket
By the way
Are you top or bottom?
Get a rope!
Can you do genuine sex?
You bastard!
Since all is void, where can the dust settle?
What are you looking at?
Never seen a big dick before?
Call the police
How right the wall, how wrong the egg
"The Venetian Macao"
"Amitabha Buddha"
Did you hear what Xu Jin said?
So we are of the same idea!
I dare not to mention if you don't
Once contaminated...
What I mean is, you are a big guy
You can always choose what to or not to do
Nobody can impose on you
Let's get started
The early birds will be rewarded
Ke...
This is Abe, a hot hunk in the circle
Only brother Yang Ke is the man of chivalry
I have watched your movie
I am a big fan
Excuse me
We "Prostitutes of Red House" are all gifted
Singing, dancing, painting, calligraphing...
Let me introduce our five sects
First...
Welcome!
Please take a seat
Sir, please take a rest first and I will serve you tea
Please have some tea
Do you want the usual?
Yes, please
All right
You can even speak Japanese?
We have customers from everywhere
Homosexuality is illegal in Japan, as you know
So they're very adventurous
I heard Japanese people are big spenders
They are really generous and tip big
How much in general?
Sorry to keep you waiting
Your feast is ready
This is tough
You have to stand the itch
Also you can't be on duty having a cold, fever or cough
You practiced Chinese opera for a long time
The resilience should help
How long does it take for a meal like this?
Usually 45 minutes
Overtime will be charged
There were customers waiting for so long that
The model needed to take a piss
And one guy requested to collect his urine
And drank it like beer?
Special charge should apply
What an experience
The scar...
No way... I still need to appear on camera
This kind of sex party is rare
Sponsors are super rich
Sometimes even known actors come doing real sex
For five thousand US dollars each appearance
Have you ever done this?
Not yet
It's circulating that there will be a major event by year end
In collaboration with a film company
Never thought it could be you, big brother
We're sorry
Move! One by one
Relax
Then it will hurt less
You sissy, be gross!
This ain't a love drama
Mommy, where did I come from?
From my tummy of course
Didn't you ask that before?
So what's daddy for?
You were made by something from daddy that got inside mommy
What's that thing?
That's too quick
Only ejaculation will be counted
Is daddy in hell?
I hope not
He should have been reincarnated
Teacher says all of us have to be tried in hell
"Court 2: Prostitutes - Thrown into a pool of blood and drowned"
"Court 6: Possession of pornographic material - Body sewn into two"
"Court 8: Causing trouble for parents - intestines and organs pulled out"
Teacher wants you to be a good child
And grow up to be a good man
I am scared of going to hell
I don't want to die
Death isn't that scary
Life can be like hell too
Come chanting the "six syllable Mantra" together with mommy
Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hum...
Next
Sit
Yes
A small token of appreciation
How delicate
It breaks my heart to see you being used by the secular people
Let me take care of you
Everyday just wash and massage me
No more than what you're usually doing to make a living
I will soon stop having "periods"
There's a lot I can't do even if I desire it
Other than that
Just accompany me on trips and for banquets
Drive my luxury car
Wear the latest I bought you from Milan
Let my old buddies die of jealousy
At home, clothing is purely optional
Like David Hockney and his boyfriend Peter
They even acted their affair in a film
Regarding paintings
My collection comprises nothing but unique items
You love art
When my time is up
They're all yours!
Xu Jin, your turn!
So tight, how can I get in?
This good stuff is on me
He may die! Let me take over!
Brother!
Brother
Are you okay brother?
Ke, be strong
You have to survive it
I know it's too much for you
But that's one thousand dollars each fuck
We are much closer to the aim
Forgive me
Brother...
You should have followed their order
We are not blood brothers anyway
You are my brother in every sense of the word
I couldn't do it even if I were gay
That was my first time
I rather I gave it to you
Uncle is cooking now
Let me check out mom
Stay put
Sis Yin will come over for her
Don't worry
Sis Yin will always be with you
Your mother will wake up after she's had enough sleep
Hello
Yes, I am Yang
I know that place
45 minutes later, right?
I'll be there
You've recovered well
There's a saying...
I read from a Sutra that...
The bodies of people who have achieved and practiced well in their lives...
may attain "Rainbow Body" upon their death
They would then become transparent and disappear without a trace
Not even a single hair is left
What difference does it make when one is already dead?
Life is short
Why bother wasting time on such senseless thoughts and studies?
All yours
Hey
I am leaving
Take care
Call me when you are home
I fell asleep
No problem. We will arrive soon
I won't vomit in your car
It's your car
I had a blue dream
No. 1 in the chart this week is a new entry
No wonder, it's Amanda!
Your new song
Um
Nice
She also appears in SCUD's new film
And this song is their collaboration
The title? Tell you later
Your face is familiar
Are you an artist too?
I reckon
{Cloud, moon and the stars, party in the sky}
{The relentless tidal wave, is sleeping tight}
{Suddenly I feel my heartbeat rise}
{In this otherwise serene night}
What about your boyfriend?
Who?
Jacky
You believe in that?
I believe in everything
Let's drink
You forgot how we came here
You don't need to drive back, okay?
Apart from designated driving
What other talents do you possess?
You wanna try?
Don't pester Ke
What's wrong with brother Yang, mom?
You always pick on him
He is...
cursed, somehow
Superstitious!
Superstitious?
Everything is fated
I'll go take a shower
I need to know
What?
Whether you don't like girls
Or you just don't like me?
Mom
You left me behind
Once you found the painless world?
At least you should tell me in my dream
Mother...
Let's congratulate Yang Ke and his new bistro
May they come into a good fortune!
"Once in a lifetime"
Hey handsome, congratulations!
I've to excuse myself
Bye!
Congratulations!
Thanks!
How have you been?
Thanks!
Long time no see!
Thanks!
Such a nice place
Drink and eat more then
Our superstar is reformed, congratulations!
Thanks
Some appetizer first
Frontstage and backstage, perfect partners
You'll be rich in no time!
You know what?
The size of a man's dick is proportional to his nose
How about those underwent plastic surgeries?
Don't be shy, fresh meat
What is the reason for a man to live?
Not to die, I suppose
Mother is gone and the money came
How ironic
She's never meant to wake up
Don't torture yourself
Live in the moment
What is "in the moment"?
For all the fun and pleasure in the present
We are materialists after all
But you cannot carry anything over to your next life
If I don't live long
I wanna leave all my money to Calf, Sister Yin and her daughter
Oh yes?
Sis Yin is the only friend of mother
Calf is an orphan
Maybe you can prepare me a will or something
I am good at documentations
Enjoy you meal
Why not drink in our own bar?
Money is better kept in your own pocket
This is where we had our first drink together, remember?
Oh yes
Which year was that?
There is something I should tell you
Remember the opening day of our bistro
There's a Caucasian guy?
He was not with Abe's gang
Hello
I'm Adonis
Daniel
Nice to meet you
Too many people. I can't recall
I...
Had a relationship with a man for the first time
His country legalized gay marriage
He's returning end of this year
I'll leave with him
So I should congratulate you?
For all your taking care of me these few years
I can only return in the next life
Bro
I... have worn your shoes
What is mine is yours
Just take them
Thanks bro
I am going now
Okay
I am going too
Thank you
Thanks
See you next time
Is that you?
Um
We're not in that business anymore
Here is the time and venue
No more than 2 hours
Another five thousand after
Okay
This weirdo is making me uncomfortable
Why don't we cancel it?
My days here are limited
I should earn more for you
That day happens to be my birthday
We can celebrate after
Why do I have a doomed foreboding?
There is no contact number to call
The show must go on
Go with me if it concerns you so much
Master
I want to ask about my luck in love
Love?
Yes
You look sick
Maybe next time
Mom
The time is up
What?
Forget it
You have a date?
Yes
So tonight...
Don't be late then
Go, quick
All right
Hey
Enjoy the night
No need to hurry back
I was here before
You know what to do, right?
Will you keep wearing this mask?
Who doesn't wear a mask?
Could you be part of the crew?
We originated far earlier than that
Then treat me gentler, bro
It's my birthday today
How old?
Thirty
You... don't recognize me at all?
Happy birthday to me...
Happy birthday to...
Uncle!
Wang Qiang!
Beautiful, but what use if it won't last another minute?
Hold back
I will be swift
Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hum...
Don't blame me
Blame your fate!
Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hum...
Ke
Sis Yin?
Ke, you are dead
Let him go too
Sis Yin
So you died as well?
I am fated to be your company in your last trip
Life can be like hell too
When you woke up from the dream of death
You must have seen many strange scenes?
Those were the doors to samsaras
If it wasn't for your practice
You might have been absorbed into one of them
I was afraid I wouldn't catch you
But he...
Why?
What's incomprehensible in this life
You may find the answers from your previous lives
The elves you met in the bamboo forest...
were the illusions brought by your acquaintances in your previous life
They're driving you to find out the truth
Within the forty-nine days after death and before the reincarnation
One would still live in his consciousness
Without the restraint of a physical body
One can go anywhere according to his will
So there are bardos exactly as what mother said
What you believe is what's real to you
Is that hell?
It's human life
As illusory as the dream and the bubble
As momentary as the dew and the lightning
I thought that was the punishment for something I have done
I know you have been a sex worker
I would hardly call pleasing yourself and others wrong doings
Karma doesn't necessarily dawn in the present life anyway
Is it the heaven?
It's human life too
Why am I here?
This is Thailand
In one of your previous lives you were the monk who built the monastery
It should be his karma that led you here
That's why mother said I would enjoy a long and fulfilling life
However...
I lied to her
You are the only one I trust
You won't cheat me, right?
By the time you were born
I could already tell you wouldn't live beyond 30
If it is all fated
What's point with trying so hard in our lives?
You're an actor, right?
Every movie inevitably must come to an end
Would you not try to give your best performance because of that?
Even if it's a 30 minute short film, right?
If you dive into Calf's anus now
You may follow his sperm and reincarnate to be his son
Shall we name him Ke?
Um
Ke, call me papa
Ke
There seems to be no heaven
And no judgement day
The present is good enough though
Wang Qiang
I suppose you are fifty, right?
Boss
You have perfect memory
Which means
When I was your age
The two of us were like...
you and your poor compatriot countryman
Such a divine boy
Outlived by us...
Shameless, ugly old creatures
Why are we talking about that?
Who have you been pretending to
Up until this age?
Making money is fine
But by taking a young life like that?
Now I know how he felt
How old are you?
I am 18
I am 31
Me 25
I am 41
I am 19
I am 33
I am 22
I am 20
Have you thought about
How you would be like when you're 30?
30...
Little difference I guess
Naive as now
I have a thought that I might not live beyond 30
I was doing the same job
As the role just assigned
A masseur
An actor
Always an actor
I was hoping for acting
A film by a good director
In Maldives with my loved one
Have earned enough to open a coffee shop in my country
I'm still a bit far from 30
So I am not thinking about that yet
Gradually I found that we will grow up
We will be aged
Something will never be the same again
If I can turn back the clock for 5 years
Even if only 3 years
Before 30, I felt that I'd never been to myself
And now I really want to find the genuine me deep in my heart
Today has been very exciting
I've not slept for nearly 2 days
It's an actor's dream to be in an art movie
My first ever sex scene
Experience of a lifetime
In front of so many people, what a feeling
I felt super honored about doing this
Maybe when I look back when I were 40, 50
Today would have been an unparalleled experience
I am already reflecting on all these shooting days
I know I will miss it badly
If you were Yang Ke today
Would you find the experience a pleasure or a torture?
Pleasure I suppose
I think it's a torture
I can sense both
A paradox
Paradox?
Yup
I've hardly been so tense, even horrified
It's like a dungeon I wanted to escape from
It's so foreign and uncomfortable that...
I would be too paranoid to act
I am not up to that yet
What is sex?
Sex...
Satiated or not, fulfilled or not
It's the passion of my life
So do you feel that you've found yourself from this career?
I've not been acting
Actually I'm being myself
I've always perceived myself a product
Life is a different film than what we act
As actors, we learn from everything we act
The door of life is suddenly wide ajar
Taking part in this project means a lot to me
Actually one is unique
So you just have to understand this, and look to yourself first
Inside yourself, and
When you realize this, that's the awakening
Sometimes we shouldn't think too much
Just go along with it and see what happens next
There may be a villain living in my subconsciousness
It's a fantasy, like eating someone alive
When you see the movie
I think you gonna understand better things that
We do have in our mind that we just pretend it's not there
Create your own value
Either from your intelligence, your physique, or your artistry
No matter what, I always give it all and go all the way
The show must go on
As actors
Even if we're asked by the director to eat the shit, come what may
