[Zhen Hua High School]
- Okay. - Zhouzhou, did you see us two?
- Did we look good? - This is our school's promotional video made by the student government.
Every night at 9, on Shanhai Station, they'll be replaying it.
Everyone just needs to know that.
- Okay, take out your textbooks and we'll start class. - Did you see me early? Did I look good?
Today, we'll be talking about the 17th century to the 20th century--
Student Mi Qiao, we've already started class.
I asked you to watch television last night, did you watch it?
I played video games the entire night with little Fei.
You're so disappointing.
Isn't that too much? You just simply showed your face on camera.
And you were even smiling so foolishly.
What? Don't you think I look really beautiful?
That's not right. Didn't you say you didn't watch it?
My dad. My dad watched it and told me.
Oh, your dad saw it and told you.
Okay. I was playing games and turned my head and incidentally saw you.
Isn't that too much? It's just being on television.
You look like as if you haven't been out in the world.
This isn't about being on television, okay?
Don't you feel that seeing yourself and those around you on television is a very magical feeling?
Is it?
Then, I think Zhouzhou looked quite pretty.
Go die.
What's wrong? You're being dumb again?
Ben Ben.
Say, if we could record the way our classmates usually are and show it on television,
what would that feel like?
It would probably be pretty interesting.
It would definitely be very interesting.
What are you looking at? Just go in directly.
Lin Yang!
Why are you here?
- For some people, if they don't see you for a short while, it's like not seeing you for three years. I also can't do anything about it. - Do you want to get hit?
Okay. I'm not going to be a lightbulb here (third wheel).
I will go tour the Big 2 Class.
What is Big 2 Class? You're making it sound like a kindergarten class.
Wow. The great and almighty Class 2.
My older brother sent this from Beijing.
I heard this is very helpful to the competition.
A lot of the competition problems are from here.
Our teacher recommended it a few times before. I heard it is very hard to find.
How is it? If you win this competition,
will our Zhouzhou get credit for contributing?
Of course!
Let me tell you. If you use the wrong books, you're losing at the starting line, you know?
Your strategy is to do a large quantity of questions without caring about the quality? What exactly are you doing?
I borrowed this from Zhou Mo. I borrowed it from someone.
Then this name...
I was just helping you. If you already have one, then it's fine.
- It's fine. I'll do it again. Thanks, Zhouzhou.- No problem.
You two are giving me goosebumps.
Okay then, Lin Yang, class is over. Let's go.
I won't be leaving with you two. I must go find Teacher Zhang later.
Are you going to be very busy later?
My ancestor, just be frank. You're making me anxious.
In two days, I have to go to Beijing with Han Xu to join a training session.
I might not be back until after the competition.
Then, I hope you succeed.
Mi Qiao, let's go now.
Hey, wait a second!
I have been taking care of it at home. But
since I won't be here for a few days, could you take care of it for me?
Sure.
- Okay. - Bye-bye.
There are some words that I can use to describe how you're acting right now.
What?
Infatuation to flower (love-struck).
I've always liked flowers.
Then, is it that you like flowers or do you just like Lin Yang's flower?
I like both.
Little love-struck fool, Yu Zhouzhou...
Students!
What were you doing? You were released from school long ago. Why are you just coming out now?
Someone earlier has become love-struck.
- Say it one more time! - No, no, no.
Hey, Ben Ben. What are you holding in your hands?
- It's a camera recorder. It's for filming.
Let me see.
How do you use this?
This is the play button and this is the replay button.
Look. This was you just now.
- Say it one more time! - No, no, no.
- Look. Look.- Look, you look like an idiot.
Hey, this thing is not bad.
Do you like it?
- Then, take it. - What?
Take it!
Where did you get this?
Did you steal it?
Hey! I was just joking!
Where did you get it from?
Huang Mao's cousin sells second-hand devices for a living.
I heard from him that this camcorder is not bad.
90% new. And it's quite cheap, so I bought it.
Don't you guys want to take some pictures? Then, use this.
Ben Ben, you're amazing!
When did you start developing interest in such things?
It's because she got on television that one time.
Shut up!
This... I won't accept any rewards if undeserved. Tell me. How do you want me to thank you?
You want to thank me? Okay!
Then pay for your debts at our skewer stand.
That's easy. Count it all to Zhouzhou's account.
Zhouzhou, tell me. Are you paying for it or not?
I am not paying for it. How come you are the person getting the camcorder but I'm the person paying for the debts?
- Are you paying for it or not? - I won't pay for it!
Zhouzhou! Are you paying for it or not?!
Connecting the 2 points C and D.
Look at the blackboard!
What's going on?
Stop!
Fighting!
What are you guys doing?
Xu Zhiqiang! Xu Zhiqiang! Look at me!
Film here. Here.
Zhou Yumin! So pretty!
Look here! Here!
- What are you doing?- Fighting, Xiao Yu!
- Fighting!- Why are you so stupid?
I'll help you, Xiao Fei.
3, 2, 1! Dominate the barbecue industry of Shanhai!
Yeah!
You...!
You two are the ones tasked to change the bulletin board for this week, right?
Yes.
It's been two weeks. You haven't even changed the content of the bulletin board at least once.
The school is giving you tasks because it acknowledges your skills and trusts you.
Okay. We'll change it then.
It's fine if you have filmed it. Just don't casually let others watch it.
What are you doing?
If there is nothing else then we will be leaving first.
Look at you, this bully.
I thought you would only bully us commoners,
but I never thought you would be so serious and responsible about your job.
President of the Student Government is just a title.
You have to do everything, and you can't do everything right.
Why would you do it then? It seems to me you're pretty much on it though.
Do you want to interview me?
- Interview? - Yep.
I see you've been carrying this going around filming here and there.
What were you filming?
Nothing really. I just think that people look interesting in front of the camera.
Let me take a look.
You want to see it?
To replay, you have to first push it up and then...
Wow. You're a pro.
I've used it before.
What are you guys doing?
...MI Qiao! Look at me!
Film here. Film here!
Wow! It looks good!
Hey, are you okay? Are you still our Great President Chu?
It's quite interesting.
Is this your camcorder?
It's Ben Ben's.
He is the guy who always sets up his skewer stand in front of the school.
He bought it at a second-hand store so I took it to play.
It's quite meaningful.
When you watch it again years from now, it'll be very touching.
That's what I think, too.
But the filming is a bit disorganized.
Do you know documentaries?
Documentaries?
For example, "Animal World" is a documentary.
I know that.
Actually many documentaries are very interesting and contain a lot of meaning.
I think you can have more interaction with the subjects you're filming.
It should be more interesting that way.
Interaction? What does that mean?
Like asking questions. From what I saw,
I think I am the first person to question you. Right?
I think you're right.
I didn't think you'd have any ideas.
Both movies and documentaries are something that I like.
Wow, President Chu has much interest in literature and the arts.
Why is our school newspaper so boring then?
Have you heard of the story about Einstein and the three little chairs?
The version that you read, we've actually already made a lot of improvements.
I understand. President Chu cares for his people a lot and would sacrifice himself just for the sake of his people.
Next time, if you film anything interesting, remember to show me.
Actually, I think there's not much to film anymore. Everyone is pretty boring.
Then, film what you're interested in or what you're curious about.
What I'm interested in?
Following my footsteps, everyone has now arrived at the number one cafeteria of our school, Zhen Hua.
Everyday, this place provides us with food that is not so delicious.
It ensures the necessary energy supply to the students and teachers of Zhen Hua everyday.
Now, let's interview a student picked at random.
Classmate, hello. What are you eating?
Who are you?
That's all right. Let's interview a different person then.
Classmate, hello.
Judging by your body, you must know a lot about food.
I am okay. Are you from the Zhen Hua TV channel?
I am from the provincial channel, but I am interviewing under a disguise.
So what do you think about the food at Zhen Hua?
It's not bad. It's okay.
I have eaten at Zhen Hua's cafeteria for two years.
I think the dishes from Window 2 are quite good.
But every time, after eating, I always feel particularly thirsty.
I think maybe it's because they added too much MSG.
Thank you, Classmate. The information you provided is very valuable to us.
No problem.
- You're welcome. - All right. Lady.
What do you want to eat?
Why do you have to add so much MSG in the food?
Don't you care about the health of students?
Why are you filming? Which class are you from?
- Please answer my question directly. - You are crazy.
Lady.
Old Yu, my dear Old Yu.
Hey. You have become obsessive.
I thought you would just be interested for 2 days or so. But now, you even started interviewing.
Let me tell you. Lately, I have been feeling that filming is really fun.
I even interviewed our President Chu.
Chu Tiankuo?
That's right. He has some interest in filming and he knows a lot about it, too.
He even told me, if I want to film something well, I should think of something that I am most interested in.
So that's why you are filming the cafeteria?
That's right! I have always had a particular passion for food.
Let me take a look at what you filmed.
Let me show you.
- Yanyi drew this! - The drawing is so good!
He drew with such details too!
What are you looking at? Chen Yao, what are you looking at?
Mi Qiao, Yanyi drew this. Can you believe it?
- Wow, my gosh. - It's not good to look through other people's stuff.
No, it's because his notepad fell. I was just picking it up for him.
What are you guys doing?
Yanyi! You draw so well!
Give it back to me!
Yanyi, Chen Yao just picked up your notepad from the ground.
We all think that your drawings are really good.
- Really? - Really.
Then don't tell the teachers about it. I drew them in secret.
Drew them in secret, why?
My grades got worse again on the last exam.
My mom beat me up and said to me that drawing will interfere with my studying.
It's kind of true. I always get distracted.
After starting to study for a little while, I would get distracted and start drawing again.
Studying is nothing. Your drawings are so much more awesome.
I think so, too.
It's easier said than done.
One of you is number one in the year. As for the other one, you laugh no matter how poorly you do.
I am different. I am not good at studying.
I have to discipline myself.
Little Kid Zheng Yanyi!
What do you want? Stop filming!
Just let me interview you.
I have to study. I have no time for an interview.
It won't take long!
Then go ahead.
Have you ever thought about what you see yourself doing in ten years?
Ten years from now?
Get into a decent university, get a decent job.
And it'd be best if I could marry a pretty girl and have kids.
Are you being true to yourself?
What do you mean?
What I mean is, do you really hope that's the life for you in the future?
Can I just think whatever I want?
Of course. Dream is something without having to worry or to be concerned, something that you want most.
Then I would like to be a comic artist.
Being a comic artist has always been my dream.
When I am bored, I can just stay home and draw. When I get tired, I can go travel.
I can draw ideas from different place while relaxing.
Not bad. I have faith in you!
This is just my imagination.
It's not bad! We all think you are really talented.
It's true!
You guys... Drawing is not decent career.
I'd better study hard and getting into a decent university.
Hey. Should we really be doing this?
It's nothing. This is called the Amazon Butterflies.
Amazon butterflies?
The butterfly effect. Haven't you heard of it?
If I just give Yanyii a little push, then the Chinese comic field... That's not it.
Then there will be a new rage in the world comic field.
Oh, right. Hand me the envelope.
You are being too optimistic.
It's better than doing nothing.
Even with the butterfly effect, you need some kind of movement in order to create a big scene.
What if Yanyi's comic doesn't get picked?
Then I can only say that the magazine company is missing out.
[Qiyi Magazine]
Yanyi, what are you looking for?
I can't find my drawing notepad.
Perhaps it's because your drawings are so good that some secret admirer borrowed it from you.
How is that possible? I am screwed if Mr. Wu or Supervisor Pan finds it.
Someone must have told on me and it must have gotten confiscated.
Yanyi, why don't you go check it out at Chen Yao's desk?
Oh, right.
Place it horizontally!
It's not there.
Not there? Just be careful, don't let her take it from you.
Or else Supervisor Pan will hear about it sooner or later.
I am screwed.
Even if the teachers find out, it shouldn't be a big deal. Right?
What do you mean not a big deal? My mom has beaten me twice because of this.
That's weird. Why didn't I see it just now?
It's good that you found it.
So what you mean is, I won't be able to contact you for a while?
I didn't expect for them to be so strict over here either. They even confiscate our phones.
Luckily, the competition will be over in a week.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Ask away.
Have you ever thought about what you would be doing in ten years?
Why are you asking this out of nowhere?
Mi Qiao got a camcorder from Ben Ben. And she has been filming every chance she gets.
It's like she is a reporter.
She really can't stay put.
So your answer is...
- Do I have to answer that? - If not, I am hanging up.
Hey! Fine.
Ten years from now, I think as long as I am with the person I want to look after, it will be good no matter what.
- What a sweet-talker. - What about you?
I am not telling you.
All right, hurry and go rest.
Do your best and do well in the competition.
Bye.
Why did you call me here?
How do you like it here? An interview room.
From now on, you can come whenever you want.
The sun must have risen from the west today.
I am just supporting the development of our school culture.
Oh, right. If you want to interview any teacher in the future,
I can contact them for you, too.
- What are you doing? - Let me just interview you first.
Didn't you already interview me?
Just a second.
Can we begin?
Didn't you tell me before to think of something I am interested in?
I thought about it. I originally thought it would be something eating-related, because I love food.
But now I have thought it through.
I want to know what people think of themselves doing in ten years.
What a cliche question.
What's your answer then?
Ten years from now.
Ten years from now, I want to work at a foreign company.
Get a decent salary.
Oh, it's nothing.
I just feel there's something wrong with everyone.
How come the future you have in mind is so ordinary, too?
You are the number one guy in our school, with a rich family.
How do you know if my family is well-off?
Just look at your aura. I can tell just by looking at you.
What's bad about having an ordinary life?
It's not bad. But didn't you say you like filming and such?
You see, you lending me this interview room, it can't just be for developing school culture. Right?
I do like filming.
But hobby is a hobby, it can't interfere with serious business.
Then what do you consider serious business?
Studies.
You are actually taking it seriously.
Don't you think this plant looks especially good?
Are you sure it's not because you are thinking of someone when you are looking at it?
- What are you looking at? - I just wanted to check if you are holding the camcorder.
I feel like you are like a reporter trying to interview in secret.
You are always filming with your camera hidden.
What do you mean with my camera hidden? I have been interviewing openly.
Let me tell you. I even got an interview room from President Chu.
How much benefit did he give you that he went from an evil businessman to the President Chu?
I wouldn't have known if I hadn't interviewed him. In the past, I always thought Chu Tiankuo lived in a different world from us.
But now that I look at it, he is not so different from everyone else.
Why do you say so?
Zhouzhou, why do you think people think one thing but do another?
Are you talking about the question about ten years from now?
How did you know?
How would anyone not know at Zhen Hua? You ask that question as soon as you see anyone.
Fine.
Then, my dear Yu Zhouzhou.
In your mind, where do you see yourself in ten years?
Ten years from now...
I am not sure either. I don't really care what I will be like.
I just hope that ten years from now,
there will be someone whom I will be willing to sacrifice everything in order to protect.
What's wrong?
Oh. You are such a sweet-talker.
The beds at a big hotel are surely comfortable.
I just cleaned up everything. Hurry and get off the bed.
- What are you doing? - What do you think I am doing?
♫ Suddenly line up as islands ♫ ♫ Which star is it flying towards ♫
Hi.
Stop! I just mopped the floor! Don't get it dirty!
I know. I know.
♫ You are the grace that dances through the light and shadow♫
What are you looking at?
It just came to my mind. Someone told me before,
in order to check to see if the bathtub was cleaned well, Japanese people would scoop some water from the bathtub and drink it.
Why don't you have a scoop, too?
- What about I give you some? - Go away.
♫ Passing through light, watch as the day turns into night ♫
♫ Passing through wind, it suddenly stops again ♫
♫ Pass through you, I experience those capricious old days ♫
♫ Close my eyes, and let my imaginations continue ♫
♫ It's like the ocean wave, hazy yet clear ♫
- What are you looking at? - Nothing.
Are you done working?
- Are you okay? - My back hurts.
You are so young and yet...
You are Boss Murong, why are you willing to clean bathtubs?
What's wrong with cleaning bathtubs?
It's part of hotel management. Many people are even jealous of me.
Is 6059 finished? Is 6059 finished?
6059 has been cleaned. The guests can be brought up now.
There are two more hours before I get off work.
Do you want to wait for me or what?
I don't have time to wait for you. I came today to interview you.
I came unannounced to have an impromptu interview with you. Do you have time? It won't take too long.
Okay.
- When did you start this? - What are you doing?
Who allowed you to smoke?
Give it back.
Isn't it good to live a healthy life?
Fine. I will live a healthy life.
Then promise me that you won't ever smoke again in the future.
I promise you. I won't ever smoke again.
I already threw out my cigarette. Tell me, what are you doing?
Oh, I came to interview you.
Interview me?
Go ahead.
What do you see yourself doing in ten years?
Ten years from now, I will probably be a great hotel manager.
That's it?
That's it.
I thought you would want to do something like dominating the barbecue industry in the entire province.
It's really interesting being a hotel manager.
There are so many different types of beautiful hotels in the world. Some of them are by the seaside,
some of them are on grasslands. There are even some that are right next to a school.
In the States, there is a hotel that is located in a big farm.
The rooms there are designed to be like a tent. There are also some hotels that are located at the bottom of the sea.
And when you sleep, you can see all the different kinds of fish swimming around you.
It's not bad. It does sound very interesting.
Right? My dream is to find all these hotels while working.
Then, not only would I be able to build on my experience as a hotel manager at different hotels,
but I would also get to experience different cultures and meet different people.
Not bad. I didn't expect you to have such great ideas.
In the future, why don't you go with me and experience living in all these hotels?
Sure! In the future, I will experience and live
in all these different types of interesting hotels.
Wait. Why would I go stay at hotels with you?
You were just saying that it would be fun!
I... I was...
What are you thinking about?
Then, is this the reason why you chose hotel management in the first place?
- It kind of is. - Kind of?
When I was little, I was always especially envious of people on TV who could live in those grand hotels.
Really? You were that shallow?
They are really comfortable. There are comfortable beds,
there are showers that have hot water continuously throughout the day. And I could get good food just by calling.
That is true.
Every time...
Every time when my dad beat me,
I would always want to find some place to hide.
When I got into the vocational school, I saw that there was a hotel management major.
I immediately picked it without any hesitation.
Ben Ben, compared to most students from Zhen Hua, you have given much more thoughts and know better about what you want to do.
I have to. You guys are top students, you are the future pillars of the country.
I am just a student at a vocational school. I have to plan for my future.
Oh, right. What about you?
Me?
What do you think? What do you see yourself doing in ten years?
I...
Murong Chenzhang. Murong Chenzhang. Where did you go?
Got it. Got it. I will be right there.
- I have to go now. - Go ahead!
- Bye. - Bye.
Sir, did you get any mails for Year 2 Class 3?
I got a few. Your class president took them just now.
Thank you!
Yanyi.
For me?
Hey, Yanyi, you have a pen pal now?
No.
Qiyi Magazine?
It's that Qiyi comic magazine!
Yanyi, you are awesome!
No. I don't know what with this is.
Can it be that you unknowingly showed off your talent, and now they are sending you a contract?
Aren't these my drawings?
Why did they return them?
What did they write?
Yanyi, what did they write? Did they compliment you? Let me take a look.
Yanyi.
Yanyi!
Who did it?!
What's wrong? It didn't get picked?
Mi Qiao, was it you?
I... I just thought that you were really talented.
This magazine really has bad taste.
I made a mistake about them. Don't be discouraged, Yanyi.
Didn't they also say that they see your potential?
Can you stop talking?
Don't be angry.
I just wanted to help.
How would you know if you don't try.
I really have to thank you for helping me.
I know, I can't do it.
I did have a dream of being a comic artist.
But now, I don't have to daydream about it anymore.
I really have to thank you. Thank you.
Mi Qiao, stay out of my business from now on.
I finally understand. So this is your so-called dream.
You are afraid to face the fact that you may fail, and so you always hide in a corner.
If you don't act on it, then you would never fail. Right?
Who gave you the right to lecture me?
Because I despise you.
If you want to do something, why don't you give it a try?
- There's no other reason. It's because you are a coward! - Mi Qiao!
You are that upset?
Mi Qiao.
Yan Yi did overreact a bit.
But you should be more understanding.
After all, to some people, a dream is something that they keep close to their heart
and is only taken out once in a while for them to enjoy.
Zhouzhou, actually, I am not brave at all. Really.
If you are not brave, then who is?
Do you know why I keep asking everyone the question about ten years from now?
Why?
It's because I don't dare think about it.
When I was little, I was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect.
When other kids don't even know what death is, it was already something that I had to face.
You are even better than me at making up stories.
I am not lying. I am telling you the truth.
In reality, I am not brave at all. Not at all.
When I am happy, I don't dare run around.
When I am alone, I don't even dare go travel by myself,
much less think about my future.
Ten years. Ten years.
In ten years, the people who will be in this world, the cars and others, none of them would have anything to do with me.
I am especially scared that I would think of some beautiful and exciting things,
but I will not be able to make them come true.
Why are you only telling me about it now?
Did you forget? What is a secret?
- What is a secret? - Secret?
A secret is a maze in your heart that you are unable to get out of
and yet you are willing to continue trying.
I didn't want to give you the exit of my maze,
because I hope that you will always be my dear Yu Zhouzhou
who is simple, happy, and full of hope about the future.
That's why I was so angry.
That everyone could have so many different possibilities with their futures, but they wouldn't do anything.
And for me, there are so many things that I want to do, but I won't have enough time.
Life is so unfair.
I so wish that I could have a dream, too.
So that I could use my entire lifetime to make it come true.
Mi Qiao, it doesn't matter if you have ten years, twenty years, ten days, or twenty days.
From now on, for all your dreams, I will be there for you.
I will help you make all of them come true.
Okay.
