Striding Into the Wind (2020) - full transcript
An aimless film school student goes on an ambling road trip across China in a rickety old Jeep in this charming, deeply personal road movie.
Keep driving.
Wait, what? Stop!
Can you drive or not?
Why aren't you following my instructions?
Don't change lane, hit
the brake, drive safe.
Where the hell are you going?
Get back here!
Check this.
What the hell are you doing?!
I'm telling you, you better come back here!
Believe me or not, I'll fail you!
Stop, now!
Do you seriously want me to fail you?
Come back…
Where are you…
You're basically saving
40,000 yuan in two years.
Clearly, I'll be making a
small amount of dealer fee.
Don't hesitate.
This car ticks all of
the boxes on your list.
What do you think?
Hey, I'd take it, if I were you.
I'll think about it.
Then shut the window.
Get off.
What car are you looking for, man?
What kind of car do you
like? I can help you find it.
Just looking around.
What kind of car are you
looking for? I know this place.
Any car under 20,000 yuan?
So what do you think?
Go over and check.
How long has it been sitting here?
And why hasn't anybody
taken it yet if it's so cheap?
They are morons.
This is a Jeep.
You must have seen one before, right?
How old is it?
97', American.
Freaking tough.
Come over here.
See?
Hardy stout.
FBLIFE,
the largest offroad vehicle club in China.
You're talking to its Chaoyang
online forum moderator!
Aka Snip Tail Lee.
Google it if you don't believe.
Dope.
Once you drive it on the road,
you'll have fabulous life too.
I knew you were a crosscountry
driver the second I saw you,
a wild boy, just like me.
Living on the road.
There's only one rule to follow,
be your true self.
Last time we went to Inner Mongolia,
a Mitsubishi Pajero broke down,
and a dozen of people
squeezed into this car!
Isn't it great? Perfectly spacious.
Check this out.
Click Gallery, Videos.
Me and my bros went to
Inner Mongolia last year.
Look at those horses,
and the sky.
You can't find the view in Beijing.
Incredible, isn't it?
Morning, Kun.
What ya doing?
Watching livestreams.
Let's go.
To where?
School.
Why the hell do you
wanna go to school today?
Just hurry your ass up.
Nah, I can't. I don't wanna.
Come on.
No way, I'm going to sleep.
Come on man.
Nope, I'm not moving.
Tong Shaojie…
Bro, let me feel it…
She doesn't know you.
She'll get to know me.
And she'll get to know me very well…
Please, just let me try!
Let me have a try.
My egg falls.
Oops.
Fuck off!
Can I switch gear then?
We are right on the road, stop it!
Let me feel it…
Bro.
Too disciplined.
They even walk faster on the overpass.
You should let me drive.
Please?!
You suck.
Man…
You happy now?
You like this?
Yeah.
You good?
Keep going.
Faster? Disciplined? You happy?
Today, we'll learn…
Are you taking notes?
…how to properly hold a boom pole
to record high quality dialogue.
High quality dialogue.
Please, everyone, it's very important
to notice the distance it's being held.
How many years has he not used a boom pole?
If it gets too close,
it will cause proximity effect,
which I've already
mentioned before, haven't I?
What's so funny?
Why don't you share it with us?
He's asking you.
We can't.
Say it.
We really can't.
I'm letting you.
I bet you've never got
any sound recorder job
for years after graduation.
Stop laughing.
We're in the middle of a lecture.
But it's also true that
compared to Kun,
I'm not as experienced on set.
Well, since
you've got more experience than I do,
why don't you come and
take my place up here?
When it comes down to making money however,
when other senior students
finally go out to make money,
you're back to retake my course.
Excuse me, please.
Thank you.
Hello, sir!
Would you mind filling
out this questionnaire?
This way, please.
Your name?
Zuo, Zuo Kun.
Age?
Looks like we are the same age.
And your phone number?
You should've got it.
Income?
At least a millon or something.
Thank you for your time.
Go now and don't follow me.
When are you finishing?
Don't know.
We're gonna pick three lucky winners
out of all the applicants.
Yeah, you heard me, three!
Not only will they experience
the speed of our SUV,
but more importantly,
they'll get to bring home
a special 10,000-yuan voucher!
10,000, my friends.
Let me hear your excitement!
I can't hear you.
Louder!
Great, I've felt your passion.
Everybody on Floor One,
Floor Two, Three and Four.
Everbody,
follow me and put your hands up.
When I say one, you say two.
When I say three, you say four.
Come on. One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Very very beautiful!
And now, with this groovy sound,
let's pick
our first winner.
The wheel is rotating.
Let's see,
who's the lucky one.
Watch out!
Third gear.
Woohoo, drifting.
Fourth gear.
Brake.
What's wrong?
I haven't slammed brake!
You dropped the bunny ears.
Why do you dress so lightly?
If this is what you like,
just go out in your birthday suit then.
It wasn't me okay?
My manager has the final say in this,
she'd deduct it out of my pay
if I refuse.
Then quit.
You majored in Chinese literature.
Which professor taught
you to dress so lightly?
Where do you want to go for lunch again?
Why did you even take this job?
When I get a formal job
at the career fair, I'll quit.
Okay? Are we good?
You taste like dumplings.
Want me to take you out for a quick ride?
Sure, but just don't go too far.
Why does it look different
from other car selfies?
It's different, it's like…
It's like we were on a bus.
Let's go somewhere else.
Our manager is here for a quick check.
Gotta go.
Just pull over here.
I'm going.
Bye.
Absorbing nutrients from the earth.
Oh, young poplar trees
rustle in the breeze,
in the breeze.
Young poplar trees,
whipser the secret of youth,
"Carpe diem,
carpe diem.
Carpe diem,
carpe diem.
Carpe diem,
carpe diem.
Carpe diem,
"carpe diem."
Tanned skin at Cannes, isn't it?
Take your glass.
Come with me for a sec.
Take your glass.
Watch out, easy, easy.
Hear me out, guys.
I propose a toast
from all of us, to Feng?
Sure.
Wait just a sec.
Feng.
I will, just wait a second.
I'm not saying I won't.
Step aside, buddy. Come on.
But we should follow the rules.
Get upstairs, go up.
Help him go up,
Stack up three apple boxes here.
What is the rule?
A great masterpiece
can only be made by
a great director, right?
Yes!
Therefore,
on behalf of the camera crew…
Where are my men?
To our director.
Cross cups!
They say I'm a classy badass,
riding on the motorbike, with sunglasses.
My secretary Alyosha fucking sucks,
can't do nothing but to handwash my socks.
They say I'm a classy badass,
Ya my best homie, we gonna laugh last.
Put some Chinese liquor in the glass,
Not the peeish ewish Chivas.
Check this out,
on the top of my skull,
God put three hair whorls crowns.
Those who know me well,
know my sick mind has no other way around.
Don't piss me off,
unless ya pussy jerks wanna get killed.
Guts and power, ain't got
no mercy for the cowards.
Faith and stamina, fuck off
all the backstabbing fibbers.
Your attention please,
bear in mind that life is priceless.
Take your name, face and
disgrace and hide it back in the closet.
Y'all listen,
those who know me,
knows that I'm somebody,
who's with the best homies, not
those get down on their knees.
Dude, here we are.
Kun, what do I have to do tomorrow?
I've never done it before.
Look.
Click.
Start.
Say something.
Hey, you hear me?
Stop.
Turn it off.
Done.
That's it?
Yeah.
Wait, so in four years
I'm just supposed to learn how to
push these two freaking buttons?
Don't you think they're insane?
They must be.
Braodcast: Instructions-process peccancy
Be right there.
Hold on.
Braodcast: Instructions-process peccancy
Everybody hurry up.
Come on.
Tong!
Excuse me.
Please.
Shush, they're shooting!
I'm a crew member.
Camera rolling.
Ok.
15 Alpha, Take 1.
Three, two, one, action.
Can I help you?
Where's Bateer gone?
Sorry, sorry.
Be careful.
I'm sorry.
Bateer?
I don't know.
Maybe only the manager knows.
Cut!
Everbody, on your mark
get set, we're doing it again.
Hurry up. Thank you, Feng.
What ya doing?
Master!
Water.
Sorry, Feng.
You here.
What's wrong with your man？
Next time I'll ask my
assistant to hold the boom.
Hold it inside.
Don't smoke in front of my camera.
What's wrong with you, man？
We were lucky that he messed up.
That was way out of focus.
I'm sorry.
I can't fit in there, Kun.
Ok.
Be steady.
Shall we?
Hold it.
Roll sound!
Wait a sec, sorry.
Pick it up, help me.
Take it slow.
Okay, my bad, sorry.
Roll Camera!
Rolling.
Three, two, one, action.
Quiet!
Sorry, please.
Where's Bateer gone?
Bateer? Don't know.
Maybe only the manager knows.
You want to find him?
Okay, cut!
This take is fine.
Looks pretty good.
Take it.
What do you think?
Good?
Sure, yeah.
Good.
Hurry up.
Move to the next location.
Everybody move.
We're late, quick!
Mr. Director.
Thank you, good job.
What are you doing?
First time, man.
Man, my man.
This is your first job and
you dropped the pole.
What the hell are you doing?
Master!
When I developed this character,
I was taking reference of
an ex of mine, who's Mongolian.
Yeah.
Really?
What a coincidence!
And, what else,
this scene, in the amusement park,
UFO.
Once I see the roof,
I get relieved.
I can breathe now.
Good.
That's it.
Okay.
This way, careful, slowly.
I'm good.
Whose car is it?
This bitch said I can get her WeChat,
if I tip her a Ferrari.
I heard that she's from our uni.
You should play offline.
See how Ming's doing.
Is this your car?
What?
Let me help you to take off the mic.
Have a seat.
What's this film about?
Seems about an Inner Mongolian
herdswoman coming to Beijing
to find her husband, who
works in this amusement park.
That's it?
That's it.
Have you read the script?
Should I? I'm just recording sounds.
Nobody showed me the script.
Thank you.
Mr. Director,
can I have a copy of the script?
What script?
The script of this film.
Yilin, did you see me
directing with a script today?
The film will become alive,
on its own, once the camera rolls.
Who needs script? Wong
Kar-Wai or Hong Sang-soo?
Thanks you. Here.
Bro,
honestly
your car is too old.
And the engine's worn out.
I think,
it's better not to waste money on it.
And the seats
are so ragged.
Got it, you better shut it.
My girlfriend's here, unless
you don't want to get paid.
Hey, who's he?
Give me 500.
What for?
Come here.
Come over here.
Count it.
Okay.
Alright.
I'm just saying,
the emission standard will be upgraded.
Soon enough, your car
will be phased out.
Okay, I got
I got it, thank you.
Sorry, but…
Okay, fine.
Let's go.
I'll take you somewhere.
I wanna go back to my dorm.
What, are you mad or something?
I'll pay you back.
What are you doing?
The door's stuck.
And the car's broken down as shit.
Why are you spraying perfume?
It stinks.
The glass sees through like crystal.
Forget it.
Just a couple of cars passing by.
You scaredy cat.
Need to go to the IEC tomorrow morning
for another quick job.
Can you just quit the shit?
Then how can I make money?
I'm saving money to take
my dad to Hong Kong.
They've got nothing there in Hong Kong…
Or maybe I can take you to Inner Mongolia.
The view is awesome.
Just two of us,
or maybe we can bring Tong.
There won't be any speed limits.
The wind will knock your eardrums.
And then, when we'll get off the car,
we'll sit on the grass
with stars shining right above us.
What do you think?
Do you want to go?
Kun,
the car's moving.
Away, stay away.
Don't get hit.
Do you think we can drive
this car to Inner Mongolia?
I think so.
The dealer told me he drove
it crosscountry everyday.
Is it licensed?
Nobody checks on the highway.
But you don't even have your license.
I'm working on it.
Let's set out once I get it.
No.
What if we get caught?
Last year, you said you'd
go to Tibet with Tong.
Two years ago, Greater Khingan Mountains.
What do you want exactly?
Sound guys, move your jeep away now.
It's in the frame.
How about now?
Can't you move any farther?
Move back, a bit more.
Chubby, you can hold the pole here.
That's the redline, got it?
Just remember,
dare you trespass into my frame,
I'll snap your pole. You hear me?
What about now?
For God's sake, a bit
farther, I can still feel it.
You know.
Man, what do you mean that you can feel it?
I mean, what if I pan the camera?
Then the car will get into the frame again.
However, I hope you can act out that
that feeling, that
you see the horses in your heart.
Even if you see no horse here at all,
but,
you can feel it more than seeing it.
Alright?
Feel it yourself.
Ming,
I need to pin on the mic.
Ok, ok.
Yilin, please pin on this mic.
Let me do it.
Think about what I just said.
No horses.
Ming, if you don't show to the audience,
how can they know that the horses are dead?
Wong Kar-Wai focused on a glass
to portray a couple quarrelling,
instead of showing their faces.
Why?
Artistic reality,
keeps distance from daily reality.
Thus…
But it's important for Tuya.
Excuse me for a second.
Come.
Your job here is to take care of your guy.
That chubby boy
is eating double, a combo bento!
We're about to roll camera and he's gone.
Maybe you should check if
he's eating triple lunch bento. Go.
That's why I cast you.
Because I think
a good actress
will show to the audience through her eyes.
Look at me, look at my eyes,
to show
the bleakness
of the grassland.
Cut!
Wrap!
What do you think?
Feng, it's awesome.
Did you do it on purpose?
For sure.
You kept the distance between
the character and the camera…
Isn't it Hou Hsiao-hsien's style?
All credit goes to you, Mr. Director.
Right?
Teamwork, freaking awesome.
Let me record ambience sound, sir.
Good.
Wrap up and pack up.
Thanks, everyone.
Let's pack.
What's ambience sound?
Shout out loud.
What's ambience sound?
I mean to let them be quiet!
QUIET!
Record ambience sound!
We need to record ambience sound.
Please be quiet, thanks.
Go there.
Sorry guys, please keep quiet.
Easy, steady, slowly.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Grassland ambience sound, take one…
Thanks.
Again.
Cut!
Excuse me, stop talking,
thanks for your cooperation.
Thanks, okay.
Grassland ambience sound, take two…
Slow, slower.
Slower, told you.
Tong, hold this.
Give me the boom pole.
What?
Get off, pull him off.
That's it?
Do you know how much
I paid his medical bill?
That's all I got now.
I didn't charge you the car,
or the gas.
You can't deduct it from my salary.
Kun,
do you know that you put
me in an awkward situation?
You know how much I owe Feng this time…
Then you owe me quite a lot too.
I didn't charge you either.
Haven't I just paid you 500?
Well, my bro,
I believe,
this is a pretty good
chance to learn things.
Isn't it good?
I'll get you paid jobs later.
When exactly you reckon?
Next time.
Okay? Next time.
Ming,
do you know if anyone
else's shooting thesis film?
I met a guy days ago, who's Mongolian too.
He wants to be a singer.
Go and check his company.
He might offer you a job for fast buck.
Alright?
Not too different from recording on set.
How about this one?
Yeah, I can still see.
Now?
Pure black, man.
Why tint it so dark?
Will tell you when you play offline.
Man, your car's coughing out smoke.
Slowly, slowly.
Take a look for me.
Go forward a bit.
Zhi.
Dad.
You're early!
Haven't seen you for ages.
Miss me?
Every day.
Of course.
Is it their car?
The exhaust smoke is heavy.
It isn't running right today,
but it used to be fine.
What's the matter?
You don't know either.
I don't.
Zhi,
Fine.
Look, three minutes late.
Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry.
Nice to meet you.
Hi, Mr. Cheng.
My name is Tong Shaojie.
And he's Kun.
This is Tong Shaojie,
my schoolmate.
Okay, let's get in.
The postgraduates we hired
no longer have any advantages.
Only PhDs are qualified
to housing allocation.
Exactly.
I was thinking about
having a master degree,
and,
teach at our university.
My mom is a teacher,
so my parents hope that
I can be a teacher too.
Teachers are decently paid.
Zhi told me that
you're always on the go in university.
Not always.
I'm just doing something that I like.
Pretty good.
Not bad.
However,
you can't always ride on roller coaster.
Better settle down.
Right?
Yes.
Oh,
do you have your laptop with you, Kun?
No.
Days ago, I noticed
some civil service job vacancies.
Maybe you'd like to check it out.
One recruitment notice was posted by
the Recordist Association.
It's pretty good,
perfect for you.
As long as
you can
work hard,
there will be plenty opportunities.
Of course.
Maybe,
we can have a look with my laptop.
Come on.
This way.
Next page, the next one.
Keep going.
Mr Cheng, actually I've
looked up these jobs before.
How about this? Let
me think when I go back.
If I still want to sign
up, I'll do it then.
There is no need to bother you.
No, no no.
Look, here.
It says,
today is the deadline.
If I were you,
I'd sign up right here, right now.
The internet speed in
this hotel is amazing.
Come on.
What's your name again?
Zuo,
Zuo Kun.
Zuo Kun, Kun.
K-U-N.
Let's see. Ignite.
Hit the gas pedal.
Stop.
I haven't seen such a crappy car in years.
It's blowing black smoke.
Can it still be fixed?
Excuse me,
is this Moonriver
Construction Materials Ltd.?
Wait a minute.
I pray to God,
for a pair of wings.
Pretty good this time, High$ea,
One more time, just in case.
Someday I will fly to the moon.
I will reach the top of the moon,
and sing a song to the planet we call home.
I'm gonna make every terran hear my blues,
they'll know, my love is true…
I'm gonna make every terran hear my blues,
and they'll know…
Sit here.
Okay.
Have a seat.
Take a look at my album series.
Galaxy Trilogy.
The first album
is called Apollo.
Second album,
Terrans.
The song you just heard
is the demo of its theme song.
And the third,
Moon River.
Each album
contains 100 songs,
that is to say, the lyrics are
100 poems.
Do you know Sanlitun,
the liveliest area in Beijing?
All of the window screens there
were installed by my company.
Construction earns me money,
music makes me happy.
High$ea,
the Music Weekly journalists are here.
Oh, right.
They can hear my music first.
Learn a little bit about my style.
Alright.
Bro,
here's the deal,
1,500 yuan a week,
plus performance bonus.
Cool?
Any other requirements?
Go and take two boxes of my CDs.
Do a good promotion at your university.
You want to hear this?
Bro.
Wanna hear Terrans?
It's pretty good.
Terrans.
Bro, this CD contains
100 songs, 100 poems.
Give a try?
Let me check.
Is it that bad?
Stop moving.
Stop, stop, stop.
Hey, do you want some CDs?
How about this?
Here, Terrans
10 bucks each.
It cost us 30 to make it!
We got something to do today,
so 10 yuan each, just for you.
What the fuck is that? Wandering Earth 2?
Our boss worked really hard on this.
This collection of 100 songs and 100 poems
is really awesome!
Welcome.
Good evening.
This way, please.
Excuse me, what's this event?
Do you have invitation letter?
Fine.
I'll park myself.
Where's the parking lot?
Excuse me, sir.
You can't park here
without an invitation letter.
I'm here to find my friend.
Which one?
I said, my friend.
Without invitation letter,
you are not allowed to get in.
I'm here to find my girlfriend.
Security!
Do I need invitation
letter to see my girlfriend?
What's wrong? My girlfriend is here.
Excuse me.
What's wrong?
I'm sorry, apologies.
Come over.
Excuse us.
So sorry.
What are you doing here?
What do you mean?
Why are you here?
I got a job. I thought
you might want to know.
Can't you see I'm busy?
Can't you wait?
Go home now.
Sorry for all these.
I'm so sorry.
We can calculate watts later.
How about install eight
loudspeakers this time?
Well, the thing is that my monthly KPI…
Hey, forget about your KPI, not a big deal.
I just don't know
if my studio is big enough or not.
For your upcoming concerts,
we should install the line
array loudspeaker system.
Line array is cool.
Perfect for my voice.
Must be ground shaking.
Love your idea.
So what would you rather?
Cash or card?
Either way.
You want to take a leak or what?
Then cash!
Okay?
Sure.
Just go piss.
Okay, I'll be back.
I need more equipment
to better present my voice.
High$ea.
Yea.
What's the price he offered?
30000
Way too expensive,
and it's not for studio recording.
You don't get it.
Well, my theory is
to bite every bait,
because it won't taste the same.
No use explaining, you just won't get it.
How's it going with the albums?
Sold out.
All sold out?
Yes.
Oh my, my brother.
Told you,
college students must be loving it!
Come over here, follow me.
Come in, bro.
I got more.
Take two more boxes,
and sell them out.
But High$ea,
to be honest,
I've been to all universities in Beijing.
There's nowhere else I can go.
Nobody's gonna buy two more boxes.
My brother, do me a favor.
Here's the push money
for your first sale pack.
Think outside the box
and sell two more boxes.
Here, take them.
High$ea.
Here, take.
Here we go!
Check this!
What if we recorded all these albums?
Then what about High$ea?
I'm gonna quit.
If you quit then we aren't getting money.
How much more do we
need for refitting your car?
Man, is this your home or not?
Hello, sir.
Hi, Kun.
…the Summertime Summary and
Rewarding Meeting of our detention center…
Sir, have you seen my dad?
…summarizing the work of
the second quarter of this year...
Dad.
…and rewarding Outstanding Officers…
Dad!
Hi, Mr. Zuo.
What you've been up to?
You're so skinny.
I'm at school, taking lessons.
You installed a new door?
Several houses in our
neighborhood were robbed.
And the antitheft door manufacturer
was having discount sales.
So your mom decided to install one.
But why didn't you tell me?
Shouldn't be you telling me things?
Your school contacted me.
Keep the key well.
And I paid your fees.
I haven't told your mom.
And you should stop causing her troubles.
Who else charges her son rent
for summer vacation?
That's because you refused,
when she asked you to learn French horn.
She will give it to your cousin Shanshan.
Your aunt's considering
sending her to learn French horn.
Can we sell it?
If I were still in high school,
I'd hate this Zhang Baoxia so much.
How come that she's compiled
so many exercise books?
Man,
is this you?
Playing a little French horn?
Wow!
Come in, everybody.
Who is it?
My mom.
Ms. Baoxia?
My mom.
If you get these questions
correctly answered,
you'd have no problem
with the second mock exam.
But don't share the exam
papers with anyone else.
You got it?
Here, he's coming.
Here you are.
Is this authentic?
You little bastard are stupid and blind.
Ten times compensation if it's not.
Take it or leave it.
Ok, I'll take one copy.
Then copy and share?
Then 12 copies.
I'll WeChat pay you.
Hi man, do you have Chinese exam papers?
Why do you guys even
need to cheat on Chinese?
How about next month?
Focus on this exam first.
We'll see how it goes next month.
Okay.
Say, who should we thank
for getting us headlights?
Well done, my dear students!
I think first of all, we
should thank Zhang Baoxia.
Screw you!
To my sis Baoxia.
Shit, can't see anything.
Faster, go faster.
Knock it off! Knock it off!
Turn it off! Keep it off!
Don't you think this is
what we'd feel after death?
I mean, eternal darkness,
not like this.
It's endless.
Shit, that's scary.
Now we'll learn how to foley
the sound of horse hoofs.
I'll start slow.
You got it?
Tip the camgirl a Ferrari.
Click, Ferrari.
I'm flat broke!
Left, right, or right left.
You decide.
It's on me.
Don't you want her WeChat?
Tip her.
Send her Ferrari!
I bet you two know how to do it?
Come on.
I'm talking to you, Zuo Kun. Come here.
Show us your trick.
Please, Master Zuo.
Can I have a look of your book?
Of course.
Here, take it.
Prof, it looks like a wild horse,
not horseshoed,
galloping on the grassland.
My delivery guy's here.
When do you think my
girlfriend will come to pick?
If I were you,
I'd ask her in person why
she stopped her show.
No need.
I just want to see that bitch.
See how she suffers without me.
Target shows up, at ten' o clock.
Let's go now.
Go, go.
Let's go.
Why?
Too much for me.
I quit, man.
Wanna give it a go or not?
Gonna drive back, if you wuss out.
My dad can't take the days
off for Hong Kong with me.
What's so fun about Disney?
Can't you find a
merrygoround anywhere else?
I've made enough money.
We can go. My treat.
I'm not saying that I won't go.
You promised me last year.
Fine, I'll leave you alone.
Zhi?
You can play nunchakus?
I like your laughter, sounds sweet.
Can you laugh one more time?
Please give him another chance.
He's got something really important today.
I made it clear at the
beginning of this semester,
whoever misses 3 times, fails.
Don't even bother to take the exam.
Tear em up, all of them.
High$ea actually looks
pretty cool on this poster.
High$ea, 100 new songs,
100 poems. Real poet.
He's here.
Hi, Professor Guo.
Why didn't you go to the fire drill?
Yup, I just didn't.
That's because I wanted
to talk to you in private.
Why?
Hold it for me.
Can I give up the 30 attendance points,
and take the exam?
I don't want to retake the course.
Then show up in my class.
I already said that at the beginning.
Yes, yes you did.
But, just let me take the exam please!
I knew almost everything you've taught.
I have nothing to say to you.
Complain to the principal if you like.
Okay?
I didn't want to complain.
I was trying to talk to you.
I'm not gonna…
That's it. I'm busy.
Okay.
Okay.
See you, Professor Guo.
Thank you, Professor Guo.
Your car?
Yes.
You have license?
Okay.
Drive slowly.
Okay.
You too.
See you, Professor Guo.
Get down, get down.
Did he see?
Bro, the sound track is so clean.
At least let me hear something.
You literally didn't record any damn sound.
I've recorded almost everything.
This is the only missing part.
I got ambience sound.
Let me import the track.
Ming, wait, no worries.
Let me find breeze sound
from the effect library.
Okay?
Seriously? You call it breeze?
Or a typhoon?
Ming, shall we go to
Inner Mongolia for reshoot?
My professor didn't believe
that I grew up in Inner Mongolia.
Yeah, we may have to go
to Inner Mongolia for real.
Haven't been back for years.
Excuse us, sorry.
Excuse us.
Sorry, excuse us.
Excuse me.
This way.
Pay attention to your
facial expression. Smile.
…to witness this blessed moment.
Let's count down.
Three,
two,
one.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony begins.
Great!
Alright, thank all the
leaders for your presence.
Thank you.
Thanks for your support.
Please go to the VIP room for a rest.
There are two sessions of today's ceremony.
After the ribbon-cutting,
you can go inside for wine tasting.
You will not only taste Innerself,
but also have chance to win lucky draw.
Good luck everyone.
You two, come with me.
What's the matter?
Why didn't you smile?
Can you smile?
Show me.
When are you finishing? Can we talk?
We need to go to Inner Mongolia.
Come on, Master Yu is here.
The wine we tasted just now
is brewed by Innerself Chateau
for our honorable consumers.
It says if you are with true friends,
you won't get drunk even
after a thousand cups.
Innerself is pleased
and honered to have
Master Yu, the famous calligrapher,
Round of applause for him.
As we can see, one end of it is brush.
And the other end is his weapon.
Bravo!
What's the problem about it？
Bravo!
Bravo!
Hello.
Hello.
Please get off, your
cooperation is appreciated.
Why did you run away?
I didn't. I thought that lane was jammed.
Exhale deeply.
Come over.
Move your car.
Get off.
What did you drink?
Wine.
Film school?
Looking for inspiration?
No, I got it from my friend
and drank accidentally.
I don't care who gave you the wine.
DUI is illegal. Got it?
Since this is your first time,
a 1,500 yuan fine and
suspension of your license.
Can I have another chance?
What?
Here's your penalty notice.
Don't forget to pay the fine.
Can I leave then?
Go.
How about your car?
Can I drive?
You tell me.
Find a friend or hire someone.
Thank you, sir.
Bro, have you got a driver?
Are you for hire?
I have another proposal.
I'll drive for a while,
and later you take over.
200.
But what if I get caught again?
Don't worry. I know all the check
spots better than those officers.
That's it.
You can take over from here.
Drive slowly.
Can we call the police?
The mechanic has told you
the car is going to be scraped next year.
If you apply now, we can get some money.
What do you say?
I met a friend at an event,
whose husband works at the DMV.
I've asked her,
she said he can help with the procedures.
You got quite a lot of friends.
My friends take life seriously.
Are you going or not?
I can book time for you.
I don't give a shit about
saving a few grands.
Then don't borrow money from me.
I'll pay you back.
And this car has nothing to do with you.
Well, do I have anything to do with you?
Maybe that's it for us.
Take your stuff.
I've moved on to another brand ages ago.
Thanks.
You need anything else?
Nah it's fine. I'll let you know next time.
What ya doing?
A gift for you.
You're such a good driver
and you deserve a license.
Since we're going to Inner Mongolia,
I got someone for urgent service.
How much do I owe you?
It's all good man, don't worry about it.
Where did you get the money?
I changed an old school
phone to play the Snake.
Like it?
I don't believe there's
no place for justice.
Careful, ma'am.
The society will be ruined
by those deceitful teachers.
This way.
Easy.
Teacher Zhang.
Teacher Zhang.
Teacher Zhang.
Open the door!
How dare you leak the exam questions
and then hide?!
You are a scumbag!
Too despicable to be a teacher.
It's empty. You want to keep it?
Please let me, I'll carry it.
I used to help my ex with hers,
and waited her when she went to salon.
Just like burnishing beads,
careful,
this buffs up your mind.
I named her Beady-beauty Zhuzhu.
Watch out.
Well, you know,
girls with repeated-syllable names
are really cute.
The crew has already set off.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Bear it for a while. Won't take long.
Let me open it for you.
Okay.
Can I drive all the way to Inner Mongolia?
This is our sound
recorder and his assistant.
We've met.
I'll put your French horn at the back.
No, give it to me. I'll hold it.
You want to hold it all
the way to Inner Mongolia?
Safe and secured.
Slow and steady.
What?
My cigarette.
Pull over.
We won't go veggie.
I've arranged Sheep Banquet for you.
Really?
What are we getting?
It's a lamb and mutton feast.
You got to try the tasty
ewe, I mean ewe, not you.
How about mutton entrails soup?
That's boring, man.
Had a nap?
Kun, your mom is calling.
Do you still want to take it?
Not now.
Kebab? Haven't you had enough in Beijing?
Shredded lamb?
Sure, it's Sheep Banquet.
Hurry up, go go, gear up!
Oh no, cops!
Turn right, right here, I see cops!
Stop, stop!
Ehh, fake cops.
Hi, Chief.
Almost there. We got some little problems.
Don't wait for us, please start.
Great, excellent.
What should we do?
Yilin, I think you should get off the car,
to reduce some weight.
Put on my shirt. It'll keep you warm.
I'll get off.
Okay, then you stay.
Alright, push, Tong.
Stop, stop.
Here comes the tow truck.
When will she finish work?
9.(9:00)
By nine.
Where should we go after work?
9,8 (bar).
Okay, to the bar.
And then what?
Memory cleared.
Oh, totally dead drunk.
Then where should we go?
(+ （home).
Go home.
How about repeat clicking your name, like
1,1,1 (Yi Yi Yi)
Ming.
The bill.
Wait a minute.
1,100, in total.
How can it be so expensive?
Let me show you.
Reset.
Lower control arm, 500 yuan.
5,0,0,+
Headlights, 300.
3,0,0,+
Bumper, 300.
3,0,0=1,1,0,0
Mom,
why didn't you tell me?
Tell Zhang Jiarui,
dares him to do it again,
I won't let him see Yangyang next month.
Where's the 500 I gave you?
We paid the gas.
I'm done.
No way, we're just getting started.
Your bowl is empty. Refill it.
Have more, cheers.
Keep on drinking.
Here, a toast, to everyone.
Welcome again.
We got lamb and wine.
Feel at home and enjoy the banquet.
Brilliant!
Thank you, Chief!
You're welcome.
Here.
My pleasure.
Ming,
don't know if you can do me,
well,
a small favor or not?
Please tell me.
Well,
this Happy Ger Resort
is a new project.
Maybe I can get a copy
of the film you're making tomorrow?
This favor is too small
compared to your generosity.
Once I have the copy,
I'll play it as a promo video.
Feng,
the Chief asked us to
take more scenic shots
for his promo video!
Sure, no problem.
Welcome, welcome.
Thank you, thank you.
Right, this is how we welcome friends.
Here.
Thanks, Chief.
We rely on you to help us
with our promo video.
No problem.
I've brought the album as
a little thank-you gift.
How about that?
Here you are, Terrans.
Take one. It's a good album.
Here, take this one.
One for you.
Cheers! Buttoms up!
Hi, Chief.
This is my bro's album,
called the Terrans.
Terrans?
100 songs, 100 poems.
That's a lot, excellent.
Check it out.
A little present for you.
Ming, one for you.
I'm good, take it away.
Thank you, young man.
My pleasure.
Look, Yilin.
Chief, the bonfire is ready.
Great!
Come on.
Now everyone, here's for the next show…
Come with me, put it on.
Let's go outside.
Cool.
I've invited the best dancers
to teach you how to dance.
Come on.
Come on.
Come.
Take it away.
Here, just take it.
Move your body.
Hello, mom.
I'm on set, busy now.
Oh, hi, Ms. Zhang.
Hold on a second, please.
Your mom is on the phone.
Feng, let me try it.
One more time.
One more?
You do it like our Mongolian totems.
Do it again.
Go find someone else.
Leave us alone for a sec.
Feng, it cost us a lot to finally be here.
Trust me this time.
Tomorrow morning, before sunrise,
we must capture the graveyard of all gods,
the despair of the grassland.
Hold it back, we must hold it back.
Otherwise I always feel
like filming transition scenes.
Got it, I know you…
You trust my aesthetic taste, don't you?
Sure, definitely.
I'm in too.
Easy, easy. We have enough albums
for everyone. Here.
Ming, just take one.
Take one, take one.
Take one.
Last ones. Who want the last ones?
Close your eyes.
Okay, good.
Right?
Yes, good.
Correct?
I'll leave you guys alone.
Ming, fire is not allowed
on the grassland now.
Therefore, I replaced it with lights.
Great! It looks authentic.
Do you have anything
extra special? More exotic?
This isn't?
It's very ethnic minoirtyish.
You know,
maybe it's not 100% nomadic style,
but it shows the spirit of grasslanders
to the full extent!
What do you think?
More exotically unconventional.
Exotically unconventional?
Ming, I thought you were a
gentleman that holds back.
Let's talk inside the ger.
Whatever you like,
just let me know. Okay?
Come in, watch your head.
Stop the car.
What are you looking for?
Awake now?
They've started preparing over there.
See you there.
Feng, the anesthetic can't last long.
Those horses might wake up soon.
Kun, we're gonna start shooting.
Alright, let's not wait.
Come on.
We'll start. Quick!
Get ready, everyone.
Okay, everybody get ready.
Yilin.
Yes?
Could you please,
stand here, right here.
Put the flecky board back. Farther, yes.
Rolling?
Three,
two,
one,
action.
Okay, cut!
The horses were waking.
Don't worry, they were out of frame.
Out of frame?
Yes.
Did it look okay?
Yes, should be fine.
Alright, pretty good.
Nice, everything's good.
Alright people, stay in position.
And camera, follow me, hurry up!
Camera team…
Come, quick, follow me.
We'll do master shots.
Camera, here.
Hong Sang-soo...
This is so Hong Sang-soo-ish.
Genius.
You too.
That's a wrap.
That's a wrap?
It's a wrap guys, good job!
Finally, finally.
Thanks, everyone.
Let's take a photo.
Feng, let's take a photo.
Okay, a photo, everybody come.
Quick.
Who's got a phone?
Come for a photo.
Thank you.
Don't forget to pack up.
Pack your stuffs.
Hurry up.
Ming, can I have a word with you?
Well, I mean,
you shouldn't just pay me for one day.
It took us an extra day on the road.
So, it should be two days.
Nonono, how many days for shooting?
One day for shooting.
I'm paying you for shooting days.
But it took me two days.
Are you an actress or not?
How do you make money as an actress?
By shooting films, correct?
But…
You wasted my time.
It took all of us time to drive here.
Then the car broke down
and took us one more day.
Why are they arguing about?
Ming paid her.
She said it should be two days,
as it also took her one day to come here.
But Ming told her that we should pay her,
they got here late because of us.
This is not grasslandish spirit at all.
We have to go to the real grassland.
Cops…how come? Should we stop?
We can't stop! Go rush over it!
Step on the gas! Step on it!
Be quiet.
Why did you turn this way? Go that way!
They can't drive fast on this rough road.
Tong, check for me
if they're still chasing.
It's way too easy to chase.
They are after us.
They flank.
They're coming!
We're screwed, no way to escape this time.
Slow down.
What now?
The car wouldn't start. Totally dead.
Where's the fake license I bought you?
I have my driver's license with me.
Sit here, I mean
crouch on the seat
and let's swap.
Let me…I can…
Move aside, man.
Make way!
Zuo Kun,
we just confirmed that
your driver's license was
suspended five days ago in Beijing.
According to the Law of the People's
Republic of China on Road Traffic Safety,
you're fined 2,000 yuan
and will be put into administrative
detention for 10 days.
Come with us.
What are you doing now?
My BWC is recording.
Don't make more mistakes.
Kun, go with us.
You stay for further investigation.
Get in the car.
This way.
Sir, let me talk to him for one second.
Be quick.
I bet we won't see this car again.
Go check and get out anything important.
Hi.
Bro, do you have tomorrow's exam paper?
Hello?
Sit still.
Hey, Zuo.
Hi, Ma.
Have a seat.
Didn't know he's your son.
I'm really sorry, Zuo,
but I can't move him to single cell.
I know, we have to follow the rules.
He's not a boy anymore.
Then act like a real man!
You know, find something
you love, and just go for it.
Don't waste time, or time will waste you.
Eventually it's all up to him,
but you should guide him to the right path.
I'll take the blame
and will not tolerate ignorance anymore.
Right, do you remember
Peng's boy?
A talented kid
who failed due to bad parenting.
Kun, did you hear what Uncle Ma said?
Give us a minute, we'll have a word.
He used to be a good boy.
However, since he
went to boarding school...
Right, exactly.
It's a real reminder for us.
I'll keep an eye on him.
Movement One.
Parting the wild horse's mane.
You should talk more.
Sure. I'll tell him where
to draw the line this time.
Ending posture.
Shift.
Shift.
"Gratitude"
Salute!
Higher, up!
Fine, next group.
Ready, three, two, one, go.
Towards the mouth, my mouth.
Hey, you almost hit the back of my head.
Up, higher.
Too close.
One, two, three, happy graduation!
Excuse me, could you
pick the cap for me please?
Thank you.
Can I borrow it?
Which school do you study in?
I'll send it back to you.
School of Cinematography.
Okay, just a minute.
I'll send it back later.
Sure.
Come over here.
Give me your phone.
What do you think? Any problem?
Follow me, look.
Here,
and here.
Check inside.
Look.
What happened?
I was trying to get High$ea's CD out.
Where are you selling it to?
To Inner Mongolia.
The herdsmen are gonna
drive it to shepherd sheep.
Cool, give me 4,000 and it's yours.
Okay,
but, bro,
I've checked the system
and you still have
quite dozens of unpaid penalty points.
According to the current regulations,
the points might cost 5,000 yuan.
What do you mean?
I'm selling you for 4,000,
are you saying I should
pay you another 1,000?
Well,
I didn't expect the unpaid penalty points.
Alright,
how about this,
say,
I give you 500?
Deal?
You made a lot of money
by repairing our car.
4,000 yuan is fairly cheap.
And you're taking it for 500?
I mean, seriously?
Just let him take it.
Okay.
You sure you can drive
it to Inner Mongolia?
Inner Mongolia? Yeah should be fine.
But I need to get rid of
the dark window paper.
Look.
Can't see anything
at night.
Man, could you close the trunk lid for me?
Thank you.
Thanks.
hit melody.
A collection of 100 songs and 100 poems,
Terrans is the second one of his series.
A mix of Pop and Electro,
it hits right notes with young people…
Hey, wait, go back.
Back.
Now let's check out
this hundred-million-hit title song
Terrans.
I love you, I truly love
you, but you can't get it.
You take it for granted.
I love you, I truly love
you, but you don't trust me.
You stay in the shadow of doubt.
I love you, I truly love
you, forever love you.
But I lost you, forever.
I pray to God,
for a pair of wings.
Someday I will fly to the moon.
I will reach the top of the moon.
I feel lost and empty,
as the jeep took all of my emotions away.
Senior year is like a mirrior,
showing who I really am.
Those past mistakes
and pains that I suffered,
are sucking the life out of me.
Shall we begin again,
to seize the day,
choose our own way,
and find ourselves?
Are you in?
Wait, what? Stop!
Can you drive or not?
Why aren't you following my instructions?
Don't change lane, hit
the brake, drive safe.
Where the hell are you going?
Get back here!
Check this.
What the hell are you doing?!
I'm telling you, you better come back here!
Believe me or not, I'll fail you!
Stop, now!
Do you seriously want me to fail you?
Come back…
Where are you…
You're basically saving
40,000 yuan in two years.
Clearly, I'll be making a
small amount of dealer fee.
Don't hesitate.
This car ticks all of
the boxes on your list.
What do you think?
Hey, I'd take it, if I were you.
I'll think about it.
Then shut the window.
Get off.
What car are you looking for, man?
What kind of car do you
like? I can help you find it.
Just looking around.
What kind of car are you
looking for? I know this place.
Any car under 20,000 yuan?
So what do you think?
Go over and check.
How long has it been sitting here?
And why hasn't anybody
taken it yet if it's so cheap?
They are morons.
This is a Jeep.
You must have seen one before, right?
How old is it?
97', American.
Freaking tough.
Come over here.
See?
Hardy stout.
FBLIFE,
the largest offroad vehicle club in China.
You're talking to its Chaoyang
online forum moderator!
Aka Snip Tail Lee.
Google it if you don't believe.
Dope.
Once you drive it on the road,
you'll have fabulous life too.
I knew you were a crosscountry
driver the second I saw you,
a wild boy, just like me.
Living on the road.
There's only one rule to follow,
be your true self.
Last time we went to Inner Mongolia,
a Mitsubishi Pajero broke down,
and a dozen of people
squeezed into this car!
Isn't it great? Perfectly spacious.
Check this out.
Click Gallery, Videos.
Me and my bros went to
Inner Mongolia last year.
Look at those horses,
and the sky.
You can't find the view in Beijing.
Incredible, isn't it?
Morning, Kun.
What ya doing?
Watching livestreams.
Let's go.
To where?
School.
Why the hell do you
wanna go to school today?
Just hurry your ass up.
Nah, I can't. I don't wanna.
Come on.
No way, I'm going to sleep.
Come on man.
Nope, I'm not moving.
Tong Shaojie…
Bro, let me feel it…
She doesn't know you.
She'll get to know me.
And she'll get to know me very well…
Please, just let me try!
Let me have a try.
My egg falls.
Oops.
Fuck off!
Can I switch gear then?
We are right on the road, stop it!
Let me feel it…
Bro.
Too disciplined.
They even walk faster on the overpass.
You should let me drive.
Please?!
You suck.
Man…
You happy now?
You like this?
Yeah.
You good?
Keep going.
Faster? Disciplined? You happy?
Today, we'll learn…
Are you taking notes?
…how to properly hold a boom pole
to record high quality dialogue.
High quality dialogue.
Please, everyone, it's very important
to notice the distance it's being held.
How many years has he not used a boom pole?
If it gets too close,
it will cause proximity effect,
which I've already
mentioned before, haven't I?
What's so funny?
Why don't you share it with us?
He's asking you.
We can't.
Say it.
We really can't.
I'm letting you.
I bet you've never got
any sound recorder job
for years after graduation.
Stop laughing.
We're in the middle of a lecture.
But it's also true that
compared to Kun,
I'm not as experienced on set.
Well, since
you've got more experience than I do,
why don't you come and
take my place up here?
When it comes down to making money however,
when other senior students
finally go out to make money,
you're back to retake my course.
Excuse me, please.
Thank you.
Hello, sir!
Would you mind filling
out this questionnaire?
This way, please.
Your name?
Zuo, Zuo Kun.
Age?
Looks like we are the same age.
And your phone number?
You should've got it.
Income?
At least a millon or something.
Thank you for your time.
Go now and don't follow me.
When are you finishing?
Don't know.
We're gonna pick three lucky winners
out of all the applicants.
Yeah, you heard me, three!
Not only will they experience
the speed of our SUV,
but more importantly,
they'll get to bring home
a special 10,000-yuan voucher!
10,000, my friends.
Let me hear your excitement!
I can't hear you.
Louder!
Great, I've felt your passion.
Everybody on Floor One,
Floor Two, Three and Four.
Everbody,
follow me and put your hands up.
When I say one, you say two.
When I say three, you say four.
Come on. One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Very very beautiful!
And now, with this groovy sound,
let's pick
our first winner.
The wheel is rotating.
Let's see,
who's the lucky one.
Watch out!
Third gear.
Woohoo, drifting.
Fourth gear.
Brake.
What's wrong?
I haven't slammed brake!
You dropped the bunny ears.
Why do you dress so lightly?
If this is what you like,
just go out in your birthday suit then.
It wasn't me okay?
My manager has the final say in this,
she'd deduct it out of my pay
if I refuse.
Then quit.
You majored in Chinese literature.
Which professor taught
you to dress so lightly?
Where do you want to go for lunch again?
Why did you even take this job?
When I get a formal job
at the career fair, I'll quit.
Okay? Are we good?
You taste like dumplings.
Want me to take you out for a quick ride?
Sure, but just don't go too far.
Why does it look different
from other car selfies?
It's different, it's like…
It's like we were on a bus.
Let's go somewhere else.
Our manager is here for a quick check.
Gotta go.
Just pull over here.
I'm going.
Bye.
Absorbing nutrients from the earth.
Oh, young poplar trees
rustle in the breeze,
in the breeze.
Young poplar trees,
whipser the secret of youth,
"Carpe diem,
carpe diem.
Carpe diem,
carpe diem.
Carpe diem,
carpe diem.
Carpe diem,
"carpe diem."
Tanned skin at Cannes, isn't it?
Take your glass.
Come with me for a sec.
Take your glass.
Watch out, easy, easy.
Hear me out, guys.
I propose a toast
from all of us, to Feng?
Sure.
Wait just a sec.
Feng.
I will, just wait a second.
I'm not saying I won't.
Step aside, buddy. Come on.
But we should follow the rules.
Get upstairs, go up.
Help him go up,
Stack up three apple boxes here.
What is the rule?
A great masterpiece
can only be made by
a great director, right?
Yes!
Therefore,
on behalf of the camera crew…
Where are my men?
To our director.
Cross cups!
They say I'm a classy badass,
riding on the motorbike, with sunglasses.
My secretary Alyosha fucking sucks,
can't do nothing but to handwash my socks.
They say I'm a classy badass,
Ya my best homie, we gonna laugh last.
Put some Chinese liquor in the glass,
Not the peeish ewish Chivas.
Check this out,
on the top of my skull,
God put three hair whorls crowns.
Those who know me well,
know my sick mind has no other way around.
Don't piss me off,
unless ya pussy jerks wanna get killed.
Guts and power, ain't got
no mercy for the cowards.
Faith and stamina, fuck off
all the backstabbing fibbers.
Your attention please,
bear in mind that life is priceless.
Take your name, face and
disgrace and hide it back in the closet.
Y'all listen,
those who know me,
knows that I'm somebody,
who's with the best homies, not
those get down on their knees.
Dude, here we are.
Kun, what do I have to do tomorrow?
I've never done it before.
Look.
Click.
Start.
Say something.
Hey, you hear me?
Stop.
Turn it off.
Done.
That's it?
Yeah.
Wait, so in four years
I'm just supposed to learn how to
push these two freaking buttons?
Don't you think they're insane?
They must be.
Braodcast: Instructions-process peccancy
Be right there.
Hold on.
Braodcast: Instructions-process peccancy
Everybody hurry up.
Come on.
Tong!
Excuse me.
Please.
Shush, they're shooting!
I'm a crew member.
Camera rolling.
Ok.
15 Alpha, Take 1.
Three, two, one, action.
Can I help you?
Where's Bateer gone?
Sorry, sorry.
Be careful.
I'm sorry.
Bateer?
I don't know.
Maybe only the manager knows.
Cut!
Everbody, on your mark
get set, we're doing it again.
Hurry up. Thank you, Feng.
What ya doing?
Master!
Water.
Sorry, Feng.
You here.
What's wrong with your man？
Next time I'll ask my
assistant to hold the boom.
Hold it inside.
Don't smoke in front of my camera.
What's wrong with you, man？
We were lucky that he messed up.
That was way out of focus.
I'm sorry.
I can't fit in there, Kun.
Ok.
Be steady.
Shall we?
Hold it.
Roll sound!
Wait a sec, sorry.
Pick it up, help me.
Take it slow.
Okay, my bad, sorry.
Roll Camera!
Rolling.
Three, two, one, action.
Quiet!
Sorry, please.
Where's Bateer gone?
Bateer? Don't know.
Maybe only the manager knows.
You want to find him?
Okay, cut!
This take is fine.
Looks pretty good.
Take it.
What do you think?
Good?
Sure, yeah.
Good.
Hurry up.
Move to the next location.
Everybody move.
We're late, quick!
Mr. Director.
Thank you, good job.
What are you doing?
First time, man.
Man, my man.
This is your first job and
you dropped the pole.
What the hell are you doing?
Master!
When I developed this character,
I was taking reference of
an ex of mine, who's Mongolian.
Yeah.
Really?
What a coincidence!
And, what else,
this scene, in the amusement park,
UFO.
Once I see the roof,
I get relieved.
I can breathe now.
Good.
That's it.
Okay.
This way, careful, slowly.
I'm good.
Whose car is it?
This bitch said I can get her WeChat,
if I tip her a Ferrari.
I heard that she's from our uni.
You should play offline.
See how Ming's doing.
Is this your car?
What?
Let me help you to take off the mic.
Have a seat.
What's this film about?
Seems about an Inner Mongolian
herdswoman coming to Beijing
to find her husband, who
works in this amusement park.
That's it?
That's it.
Have you read the script?
Should I? I'm just recording sounds.
Nobody showed me the script.
Thank you.
Mr. Director,
can I have a copy of the script?
What script?
The script of this film.
Yilin, did you see me
directing with a script today?
The film will become alive,
on its own, once the camera rolls.
Who needs script? Wong
Kar-Wai or Hong Sang-soo?
Thanks you. Here.
Bro,
honestly
your car is too old.
And the engine's worn out.
I think,
it's better not to waste money on it.
And the seats
are so ragged.
Got it, you better shut it.
My girlfriend's here, unless
you don't want to get paid.
Hey, who's he?
Give me 500.
What for?
Come here.
Come over here.
Count it.
Okay.
Alright.
I'm just saying,
the emission standard will be upgraded.
Soon enough, your car
will be phased out.
Okay, I got
I got it, thank you.
Sorry, but…
Okay, fine.
Let's go.
I'll take you somewhere.
I wanna go back to my dorm.
What, are you mad or something?
I'll pay you back.
What are you doing?
The door's stuck.
And the car's broken down as shit.
Why are you spraying perfume?
It stinks.
The glass sees through like crystal.
Forget it.
Just a couple of cars passing by.
You scaredy cat.
Need to go to the IEC tomorrow morning
for another quick job.
Can you just quit the shit?
Then how can I make money?
I'm saving money to take
my dad to Hong Kong.
They've got nothing there in Hong Kong…
Or maybe I can take you to Inner Mongolia.
The view is awesome.
Just two of us,
or maybe we can bring Tong.
There won't be any speed limits.
The wind will knock your eardrums.
And then, when we'll get off the car,
we'll sit on the grass
with stars shining right above us.
What do you think?
Do you want to go?
Kun,
the car's moving.
Away, stay away.
Don't get hit.
Do you think we can drive
this car to Inner Mongolia?
I think so.
The dealer told me he drove
it crosscountry everyday.
Is it licensed?
Nobody checks on the highway.
But you don't even have your license.
I'm working on it.
Let's set out once I get it.
No.
What if we get caught?
Last year, you said you'd
go to Tibet with Tong.
Two years ago, Greater Khingan Mountains.
What do you want exactly?
Sound guys, move your jeep away now.
It's in the frame.
How about now?
Can't you move any farther?
Move back, a bit more.
Chubby, you can hold the pole here.
That's the redline, got it?
Just remember,
dare you trespass into my frame,
I'll snap your pole. You hear me?
What about now?
For God's sake, a bit
farther, I can still feel it.
You know.
Man, what do you mean that you can feel it?
I mean, what if I pan the camera?
Then the car will get into the frame again.
However, I hope you can act out that
that feeling, that
you see the horses in your heart.
Even if you see no horse here at all,
but,
you can feel it more than seeing it.
Alright?
Feel it yourself.
Ming,
I need to pin on the mic.
Ok, ok.
Yilin, please pin on this mic.
Let me do it.
Think about what I just said.
No horses.
Ming, if you don't show to the audience,
how can they know that the horses are dead?
Wong Kar-Wai focused on a glass
to portray a couple quarrelling,
instead of showing their faces.
Why?
Artistic reality,
keeps distance from daily reality.
Thus…
But it's important for Tuya.
Excuse me for a second.
Come.
Your job here is to take care of your guy.
That chubby boy
is eating double, a combo bento!
We're about to roll camera and he's gone.
Maybe you should check if
he's eating triple lunch bento. Go.
That's why I cast you.
Because I think
a good actress
will show to the audience through her eyes.
Look at me, look at my eyes,
to show
the bleakness
of the grassland.
Cut!
Wrap!
What do you think?
Feng, it's awesome.
Did you do it on purpose?
For sure.
You kept the distance between
the character and the camera…
Isn't it Hou Hsiao-hsien's style?
All credit goes to you, Mr. Director.
Right?
Teamwork, freaking awesome.
Let me record ambience sound, sir.
Good.
Wrap up and pack up.
Thanks, everyone.
Let's pack.
What's ambience sound?
Shout out loud.
What's ambience sound?
I mean to let them be quiet!
QUIET!
Record ambience sound!
We need to record ambience sound.
Please be quiet, thanks.
Go there.
Sorry guys, please keep quiet.
Easy, steady, slowly.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Grassland ambience sound, take one…
Thanks.
Again.
Cut!
Excuse me, stop talking,
thanks for your cooperation.
Thanks, okay.
Grassland ambience sound, take two…
Slow, slower.
Slower, told you.
Tong, hold this.
Give me the boom pole.
What?
Get off, pull him off.
That's it?
Do you know how much
I paid his medical bill?
That's all I got now.
I didn't charge you the car,
or the gas.
You can't deduct it from my salary.
Kun,
do you know that you put
me in an awkward situation?
You know how much I owe Feng this time…
Then you owe me quite a lot too.
I didn't charge you either.
Haven't I just paid you 500?
Well, my bro,
I believe,
this is a pretty good
chance to learn things.
Isn't it good?
I'll get you paid jobs later.
When exactly you reckon?
Next time.
Okay? Next time.
Ming,
do you know if anyone
else's shooting thesis film?
I met a guy days ago, who's Mongolian too.
He wants to be a singer.
Go and check his company.
He might offer you a job for fast buck.
Alright?
Not too different from recording on set.
How about this one?
Yeah, I can still see.
Now?
Pure black, man.
Why tint it so dark?
Will tell you when you play offline.
Man, your car's coughing out smoke.
Slowly, slowly.
Take a look for me.
Go forward a bit.
Zhi.
Dad.
You're early!
Haven't seen you for ages.
Miss me?
Every day.
Of course.
Is it their car?
The exhaust smoke is heavy.
It isn't running right today,
but it used to be fine.
What's the matter?
You don't know either.
I don't.
Zhi,
Fine.
Look, three minutes late.
Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry.
Nice to meet you.
Hi, Mr. Cheng.
My name is Tong Shaojie.
And he's Kun.
This is Tong Shaojie,
my schoolmate.
Okay, let's get in.
The postgraduates we hired
no longer have any advantages.
Only PhDs are qualified
to housing allocation.
Exactly.
I was thinking about
having a master degree,
and,
teach at our university.
My mom is a teacher,
so my parents hope that
I can be a teacher too.
Teachers are decently paid.
Zhi told me that
you're always on the go in university.
Not always.
I'm just doing something that I like.
Pretty good.
Not bad.
However,
you can't always ride on roller coaster.
Better settle down.
Right?
Yes.
Oh,
do you have your laptop with you, Kun?
No.
Days ago, I noticed
some civil service job vacancies.
Maybe you'd like to check it out.
One recruitment notice was posted by
the Recordist Association.
It's pretty good,
perfect for you.
As long as
you can
work hard,
there will be plenty opportunities.
Of course.
Maybe,
we can have a look with my laptop.
Come on.
This way.
Next page, the next one.
Keep going.
Mr Cheng, actually I've
looked up these jobs before.
How about this? Let
me think when I go back.
If I still want to sign
up, I'll do it then.
There is no need to bother you.
No, no no.
Look, here.
It says,
today is the deadline.
If I were you,
I'd sign up right here, right now.
The internet speed in
this hotel is amazing.
Come on.
What's your name again?
Zuo,
Zuo Kun.
Zuo Kun, Kun.
K-U-N.
Let's see. Ignite.
Hit the gas pedal.
Stop.
I haven't seen such a crappy car in years.
It's blowing black smoke.
Can it still be fixed?
Excuse me,
is this Moonriver
Construction Materials Ltd.?
Wait a minute.
I pray to God,
for a pair of wings.
Pretty good this time, High$ea,
One more time, just in case.
Someday I will fly to the moon.
I will reach the top of the moon,
and sing a song to the planet we call home.
I'm gonna make every terran hear my blues,
they'll know, my love is true…
I'm gonna make every terran hear my blues,
and they'll know…
Sit here.
Okay.
Have a seat.
Take a look at my album series.
Galaxy Trilogy.
The first album
is called Apollo.
Second album,
Terrans.
The song you just heard
is the demo of its theme song.
And the third,
Moon River.
Each album
contains 100 songs,
that is to say, the lyrics are
100 poems.
Do you know Sanlitun,
the liveliest area in Beijing?
All of the window screens there
were installed by my company.
Construction earns me money,
music makes me happy.
High$ea,
the Music Weekly journalists are here.
Oh, right.
They can hear my music first.
Learn a little bit about my style.
Alright.
Bro,
here's the deal,
1,500 yuan a week,
plus performance bonus.
Cool?
Any other requirements?
Go and take two boxes of my CDs.
Do a good promotion at your university.
You want to hear this?
Bro.
Wanna hear Terrans?
It's pretty good.
Terrans.
Bro, this CD contains
100 songs, 100 poems.
Give a try?
Let me check.
Is it that bad?
Stop moving.
Stop, stop, stop.
Hey, do you want some CDs?
How about this?
Here, Terrans
10 bucks each.
It cost us 30 to make it!
We got something to do today,
so 10 yuan each, just for you.
What the fuck is that? Wandering Earth 2?
Our boss worked really hard on this.
This collection of 100 songs and 100 poems
is really awesome!
Welcome.
Good evening.
This way, please.
Excuse me, what's this event?
Do you have invitation letter?
Fine.
I'll park myself.
Where's the parking lot?
Excuse me, sir.
You can't park here
without an invitation letter.
I'm here to find my friend.
Which one?
I said, my friend.
Without invitation letter,
you are not allowed to get in.
I'm here to find my girlfriend.
Security!
Do I need invitation
letter to see my girlfriend?
What's wrong? My girlfriend is here.
Excuse me.
What's wrong?
I'm sorry, apologies.
Come over.
Excuse us.
So sorry.
What are you doing here?
What do you mean?
Why are you here?
I got a job. I thought
you might want to know.
Can't you see I'm busy?
Can't you wait?
Go home now.
Sorry for all these.
I'm so sorry.
We can calculate watts later.
How about install eight
loudspeakers this time?
Well, the thing is that my monthly KPI…
Hey, forget about your KPI, not a big deal.
I just don't know
if my studio is big enough or not.
For your upcoming concerts,
we should install the line
array loudspeaker system.
Line array is cool.
Perfect for my voice.
Must be ground shaking.
Love your idea.
So what would you rather?
Cash or card?
Either way.
You want to take a leak or what?
Then cash!
Okay?
Sure.
Just go piss.
Okay, I'll be back.
I need more equipment
to better present my voice.
High$ea.
Yea.
What's the price he offered?
30000
Way too expensive,
and it's not for studio recording.
You don't get it.
Well, my theory is
to bite every bait,
because it won't taste the same.
No use explaining, you just won't get it.
How's it going with the albums?
Sold out.
All sold out?
Yes.
Oh my, my brother.
Told you,
college students must be loving it!
Come over here, follow me.
Come in, bro.
I got more.
Take two more boxes,
and sell them out.
But High$ea,
to be honest,
I've been to all universities in Beijing.
There's nowhere else I can go.
Nobody's gonna buy two more boxes.
My brother, do me a favor.
Here's the push money
for your first sale pack.
Think outside the box
and sell two more boxes.
Here, take them.
High$ea.
Here, take.
Here we go!
Check this!
What if we recorded all these albums?
Then what about High$ea?
I'm gonna quit.
If you quit then we aren't getting money.
How much more do we
need for refitting your car?
Man, is this your home or not?
Hello, sir.
Hi, Kun.
…the Summertime Summary and
Rewarding Meeting of our detention center…
Sir, have you seen my dad?
…summarizing the work of
the second quarter of this year...
Dad.
…and rewarding Outstanding Officers…
Dad!
Hi, Mr. Zuo.
What you've been up to?
You're so skinny.
I'm at school, taking lessons.
You installed a new door?
Several houses in our
neighborhood were robbed.
And the antitheft door manufacturer
was having discount sales.
So your mom decided to install one.
But why didn't you tell me?
Shouldn't be you telling me things?
Your school contacted me.
Keep the key well.
And I paid your fees.
I haven't told your mom.
And you should stop causing her troubles.
Who else charges her son rent
for summer vacation?
That's because you refused,
when she asked you to learn French horn.
She will give it to your cousin Shanshan.
Your aunt's considering
sending her to learn French horn.
Can we sell it?
If I were still in high school,
I'd hate this Zhang Baoxia so much.
How come that she's compiled
so many exercise books?
Man,
is this you?
Playing a little French horn?
Wow!
Come in, everybody.
Who is it?
My mom.
Ms. Baoxia?
My mom.
If you get these questions
correctly answered,
you'd have no problem
with the second mock exam.
But don't share the exam
papers with anyone else.
You got it?
Here, he's coming.
Here you are.
Is this authentic?
You little bastard are stupid and blind.
Ten times compensation if it's not.
Take it or leave it.
Ok, I'll take one copy.
Then copy and share?
Then 12 copies.
I'll WeChat pay you.
Hi man, do you have Chinese exam papers?
Why do you guys even
need to cheat on Chinese?
How about next month?
Focus on this exam first.
We'll see how it goes next month.
Okay.
Say, who should we thank
for getting us headlights?
Well done, my dear students!
I think first of all, we
should thank Zhang Baoxia.
Screw you!
To my sis Baoxia.
Shit, can't see anything.
Faster, go faster.
Knock it off! Knock it off!
Turn it off! Keep it off!
Don't you think this is
what we'd feel after death?
I mean, eternal darkness,
not like this.
It's endless.
Shit, that's scary.
Now we'll learn how to foley
the sound of horse hoofs.
I'll start slow.
You got it?
Tip the camgirl a Ferrari.
Click, Ferrari.
I'm flat broke!
Left, right, or right left.
You decide.
It's on me.
Don't you want her WeChat?
Tip her.
Send her Ferrari!
I bet you two know how to do it?
Come on.
I'm talking to you, Zuo Kun. Come here.
Show us your trick.
Please, Master Zuo.
Can I have a look of your book?
Of course.
Here, take it.
Prof, it looks like a wild horse,
not horseshoed,
galloping on the grassland.
My delivery guy's here.
When do you think my
girlfriend will come to pick?
If I were you,
I'd ask her in person why
she stopped her show.
No need.
I just want to see that bitch.
See how she suffers without me.
Target shows up, at ten' o clock.
Let's go now.
Go, go.
Let's go.
Why?
Too much for me.
I quit, man.
Wanna give it a go or not?
Gonna drive back, if you wuss out.
My dad can't take the days
off for Hong Kong with me.
What's so fun about Disney?
Can't you find a
merrygoround anywhere else?
I've made enough money.
We can go. My treat.
I'm not saying that I won't go.
You promised me last year.
Fine, I'll leave you alone.
Zhi?
You can play nunchakus?
I like your laughter, sounds sweet.
Can you laugh one more time?
Please give him another chance.
He's got something really important today.
I made it clear at the
beginning of this semester,
whoever misses 3 times, fails.
Don't even bother to take the exam.
Tear em up, all of them.
High$ea actually looks
pretty cool on this poster.
High$ea, 100 new songs,
100 poems. Real poet.
He's here.
Hi, Professor Guo.
Why didn't you go to the fire drill?
Yup, I just didn't.
That's because I wanted
to talk to you in private.
Why?
Hold it for me.
Can I give up the 30 attendance points,
and take the exam?
I don't want to retake the course.
Then show up in my class.
I already said that at the beginning.
Yes, yes you did.
But, just let me take the exam please!
I knew almost everything you've taught.
I have nothing to say to you.
Complain to the principal if you like.
Okay?
I didn't want to complain.
I was trying to talk to you.
I'm not gonna…
That's it. I'm busy.
Okay.
Okay.
See you, Professor Guo.
Thank you, Professor Guo.
Your car?
Yes.
You have license?
Okay.
Drive slowly.
Okay.
You too.
See you, Professor Guo.
Get down, get down.
Did he see?
Bro, the sound track is so clean.
At least let me hear something.
You literally didn't record any damn sound.
I've recorded almost everything.
This is the only missing part.
I got ambience sound.
Let me import the track.
Ming, wait, no worries.
Let me find breeze sound
from the effect library.
Okay?
Seriously? You call it breeze?
Or a typhoon?
Ming, shall we go to
Inner Mongolia for reshoot?
My professor didn't believe
that I grew up in Inner Mongolia.
Yeah, we may have to go
to Inner Mongolia for real.
Haven't been back for years.
Excuse us, sorry.
Excuse us.
Sorry, excuse us.
Excuse me.
This way.
Pay attention to your
facial expression. Smile.
…to witness this blessed moment.
Let's count down.
Three,
two,
one.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony begins.
Great!
Alright, thank all the
leaders for your presence.
Thank you.
Thanks for your support.
Please go to the VIP room for a rest.
There are two sessions of today's ceremony.
After the ribbon-cutting,
you can go inside for wine tasting.
You will not only taste Innerself,
but also have chance to win lucky draw.
Good luck everyone.
You two, come with me.
What's the matter?
Why didn't you smile?
Can you smile?
Show me.
When are you finishing? Can we talk?
We need to go to Inner Mongolia.
Come on, Master Yu is here.
The wine we tasted just now
is brewed by Innerself Chateau
for our honorable consumers.
It says if you are with true friends,
you won't get drunk even
after a thousand cups.
Innerself is pleased
and honered to have
Master Yu, the famous calligrapher,
Round of applause for him.
As we can see, one end of it is brush.
And the other end is his weapon.
Bravo!
What's the problem about it？
Bravo!
Bravo!
Hello.
Hello.
Please get off, your
cooperation is appreciated.
Why did you run away?
I didn't. I thought that lane was jammed.
Exhale deeply.
Come over.
Move your car.
Get off.
What did you drink?
Wine.
Film school?
Looking for inspiration?
No, I got it from my friend
and drank accidentally.
I don't care who gave you the wine.
DUI is illegal. Got it?
Since this is your first time,
a 1,500 yuan fine and
suspension of your license.
Can I have another chance?
What?
Here's your penalty notice.
Don't forget to pay the fine.
Can I leave then?
Go.
How about your car?
Can I drive?
You tell me.
Find a friend or hire someone.
Thank you, sir.
Bro, have you got a driver?
Are you for hire?
I have another proposal.
I'll drive for a while,
and later you take over.
200.
But what if I get caught again?
Don't worry. I know all the check
spots better than those officers.
That's it.
You can take over from here.
Drive slowly.
Can we call the police?
The mechanic has told you
the car is going to be scraped next year.
If you apply now, we can get some money.
What do you say?
I met a friend at an event,
whose husband works at the DMV.
I've asked her,
she said he can help with the procedures.
You got quite a lot of friends.
My friends take life seriously.
Are you going or not?
I can book time for you.
I don't give a shit about
saving a few grands.
Then don't borrow money from me.
I'll pay you back.
And this car has nothing to do with you.
Well, do I have anything to do with you?
Maybe that's it for us.
Take your stuff.
I've moved on to another brand ages ago.
Thanks.
You need anything else?
Nah it's fine. I'll let you know next time.
What ya doing?
A gift for you.
You're such a good driver
and you deserve a license.
Since we're going to Inner Mongolia,
I got someone for urgent service.
How much do I owe you?
It's all good man, don't worry about it.
Where did you get the money?
I changed an old school
phone to play the Snake.
Like it?
I don't believe there's
no place for justice.
Careful, ma'am.
The society will be ruined
by those deceitful teachers.
This way.
Easy.
Teacher Zhang.
Teacher Zhang.
Teacher Zhang.
Open the door!
How dare you leak the exam questions
and then hide?!
You are a scumbag!
Too despicable to be a teacher.
It's empty. You want to keep it?
Please let me, I'll carry it.
I used to help my ex with hers,
and waited her when she went to salon.
Just like burnishing beads,
careful,
this buffs up your mind.
I named her Beady-beauty Zhuzhu.
Watch out.
Well, you know,
girls with repeated-syllable names
are really cute.
The crew has already set off.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Bear it for a while. Won't take long.
Let me open it for you.
Okay.
Can I drive all the way to Inner Mongolia?
This is our sound
recorder and his assistant.
We've met.
I'll put your French horn at the back.
No, give it to me. I'll hold it.
You want to hold it all
the way to Inner Mongolia?
Safe and secured.
Slow and steady.
What?
My cigarette.
Pull over.
We won't go veggie.
I've arranged Sheep Banquet for you.
Really?
What are we getting?
It's a lamb and mutton feast.
You got to try the tasty
ewe, I mean ewe, not you.
How about mutton entrails soup?
That's boring, man.
Had a nap?
Kun, your mom is calling.
Do you still want to take it?
Not now.
Kebab? Haven't you had enough in Beijing?
Shredded lamb?
Sure, it's Sheep Banquet.
Hurry up, go go, gear up!
Oh no, cops!
Turn right, right here, I see cops!
Stop, stop!
Ehh, fake cops.
Hi, Chief.
Almost there. We got some little problems.
Don't wait for us, please start.
Great, excellent.
What should we do?
Yilin, I think you should get off the car,
to reduce some weight.
Put on my shirt. It'll keep you warm.
I'll get off.
Okay, then you stay.
Alright, push, Tong.
Stop, stop.
Here comes the tow truck.
When will she finish work?
9.(9:00)
By nine.
Where should we go after work?
9,8 (bar).
Okay, to the bar.
And then what?
Memory cleared.
Oh, totally dead drunk.
Then where should we go?
(+ （home).
Go home.
How about repeat clicking your name, like
1,1,1 (Yi Yi Yi)
Ming.
The bill.
Wait a minute.
1,100, in total.
How can it be so expensive?
Let me show you.
Reset.
Lower control arm, 500 yuan.
5,0,0,+
Headlights, 300.
3,0,0,+
Bumper, 300.
3,0,0=1,1,0,0
Mom,
why didn't you tell me?
Tell Zhang Jiarui,
dares him to do it again,
I won't let him see Yangyang next month.
Where's the 500 I gave you?
We paid the gas.
I'm done.
No way, we're just getting started.
Your bowl is empty. Refill it.
Have more, cheers.
Keep on drinking.
Here, a toast, to everyone.
Welcome again.
We got lamb and wine.
Feel at home and enjoy the banquet.
Brilliant!
Thank you, Chief!
You're welcome.
Here.
My pleasure.
Ming,
don't know if you can do me,
well,
a small favor or not?
Please tell me.
Well,
this Happy Ger Resort
is a new project.
Maybe I can get a copy
of the film you're making tomorrow?
This favor is too small
compared to your generosity.
Once I have the copy,
I'll play it as a promo video.
Feng,
the Chief asked us to
take more scenic shots
for his promo video!
Sure, no problem.
Welcome, welcome.
Thank you, thank you.
Right, this is how we welcome friends.
Here.
Thanks, Chief.
We rely on you to help us
with our promo video.
No problem.
I've brought the album as
a little thank-you gift.
How about that?
Here you are, Terrans.
Take one. It's a good album.
Here, take this one.
One for you.
Cheers! Buttoms up!
Hi, Chief.
This is my bro's album,
called the Terrans.
Terrans?
100 songs, 100 poems.
That's a lot, excellent.
Check it out.
A little present for you.
Ming, one for you.
I'm good, take it away.
Thank you, young man.
My pleasure.
Look, Yilin.
Chief, the bonfire is ready.
Great!
Come on.
Now everyone, here's for the next show…
Come with me, put it on.
Let's go outside.
Cool.
I've invited the best dancers
to teach you how to dance.
Come on.
Come on.
Come.
Take it away.
Here, just take it.
Move your body.
Hello, mom.
I'm on set, busy now.
Oh, hi, Ms. Zhang.
Hold on a second, please.
Your mom is on the phone.
Feng, let me try it.
One more time.
One more?
You do it like our Mongolian totems.
Do it again.
Go find someone else.
Leave us alone for a sec.
Feng, it cost us a lot to finally be here.
Trust me this time.
Tomorrow morning, before sunrise,
we must capture the graveyard of all gods,
the despair of the grassland.
Hold it back, we must hold it back.
Otherwise I always feel
like filming transition scenes.
Got it, I know you…
You trust my aesthetic taste, don't you?
Sure, definitely.
I'm in too.
Easy, easy. We have enough albums
for everyone. Here.
Ming, just take one.
Take one, take one.
Take one.
Last ones. Who want the last ones?
Close your eyes.
Okay, good.
Right?
Yes, good.
Correct?
I'll leave you guys alone.
Ming, fire is not allowed
on the grassland now.
Therefore, I replaced it with lights.
Great! It looks authentic.
Do you have anything
extra special? More exotic?
This isn't?
It's very ethnic minoirtyish.
You know,
maybe it's not 100% nomadic style,
but it shows the spirit of grasslanders
to the full extent!
What do you think?
More exotically unconventional.
Exotically unconventional?
Ming, I thought you were a
gentleman that holds back.
Let's talk inside the ger.
Whatever you like,
just let me know. Okay?
Come in, watch your head.
Stop the car.
What are you looking for?
Awake now?
They've started preparing over there.
See you there.
Feng, the anesthetic can't last long.
Those horses might wake up soon.
Kun, we're gonna start shooting.
Alright, let's not wait.
Come on.
We'll start. Quick!
Get ready, everyone.
Okay, everybody get ready.
Yilin.
Yes?
Could you please,
stand here, right here.
Put the flecky board back. Farther, yes.
Rolling?
Three,
two,
one,
action.
Okay, cut!
The horses were waking.
Don't worry, they were out of frame.
Out of frame?
Yes.
Did it look okay?
Yes, should be fine.
Alright, pretty good.
Nice, everything's good.
Alright people, stay in position.
And camera, follow me, hurry up!
Camera team…
Come, quick, follow me.
We'll do master shots.
Camera, here.
Hong Sang-soo...
This is so Hong Sang-soo-ish.
Genius.
You too.
That's a wrap.
That's a wrap?
It's a wrap guys, good job!
Finally, finally.
Thanks, everyone.
Let's take a photo.
Feng, let's take a photo.
Okay, a photo, everybody come.
Quick.
Who's got a phone?
Come for a photo.
Thank you.
Don't forget to pack up.
Pack your stuffs.
Hurry up.
Ming, can I have a word with you?
Well, I mean,
you shouldn't just pay me for one day.
It took us an extra day on the road.
So, it should be two days.
Nonono, how many days for shooting?
One day for shooting.
I'm paying you for shooting days.
But it took me two days.
Are you an actress or not?
How do you make money as an actress?
By shooting films, correct?
But…
You wasted my time.
It took all of us time to drive here.
Then the car broke down
and took us one more day.
Why are they arguing about?
Ming paid her.
She said it should be two days,
as it also took her one day to come here.
But Ming told her that we should pay her,
they got here late because of us.
This is not grasslandish spirit at all.
We have to go to the real grassland.
Cops…how come? Should we stop?
We can't stop! Go rush over it!
Step on the gas! Step on it!
Be quiet.
Why did you turn this way? Go that way!
They can't drive fast on this rough road.
Tong, check for me
if they're still chasing.
It's way too easy to chase.
They are after us.
They flank.
They're coming!
We're screwed, no way to escape this time.
Slow down.
What now?
The car wouldn't start. Totally dead.
Where's the fake license I bought you?
I have my driver's license with me.
Sit here, I mean
crouch on the seat
and let's swap.
Let me…I can…
Move aside, man.
Make way!
Zuo Kun,
we just confirmed that
your driver's license was
suspended five days ago in Beijing.
According to the Law of the People's
Republic of China on Road Traffic Safety,
you're fined 2,000 yuan
and will be put into administrative
detention for 10 days.
Come with us.
What are you doing now?
My BWC is recording.
Don't make more mistakes.
Kun, go with us.
You stay for further investigation.
Get in the car.
This way.
Sir, let me talk to him for one second.
Be quick.
I bet we won't see this car again.
Go check and get out anything important.
Hi.
Bro, do you have tomorrow's exam paper?
Hello?
Sit still.
Hey, Zuo.
Hi, Ma.
Have a seat.
Didn't know he's your son.
I'm really sorry, Zuo,
but I can't move him to single cell.
I know, we have to follow the rules.
He's not a boy anymore.
Then act like a real man!
You know, find something
you love, and just go for it.
Don't waste time, or time will waste you.
Eventually it's all up to him,
but you should guide him to the right path.
I'll take the blame
and will not tolerate ignorance anymore.
Right, do you remember
Peng's boy?
A talented kid
who failed due to bad parenting.
Kun, did you hear what Uncle Ma said?
Give us a minute, we'll have a word.
He used to be a good boy.
However, since he
went to boarding school...
Right, exactly.
It's a real reminder for us.
I'll keep an eye on him.
Movement One.
Parting the wild horse's mane.
You should talk more.
Sure. I'll tell him where
to draw the line this time.
Ending posture.
Shift.
Shift.
"Gratitude"
Salute!
Higher, up!
Fine, next group.
Ready, three, two, one, go.
Towards the mouth, my mouth.
Hey, you almost hit the back of my head.
Up, higher.
Too close.
One, two, three, happy graduation!
Excuse me, could you
pick the cap for me please?
Thank you.
Can I borrow it?
Which school do you study in?
I'll send it back to you.
School of Cinematography.
Okay, just a minute.
I'll send it back later.
Sure.
Come over here.
Give me your phone.
What do you think? Any problem?
Follow me, look.
Here,
and here.
Check inside.
Look.
What happened?
I was trying to get High$ea's CD out.
Where are you selling it to?
To Inner Mongolia.
The herdsmen are gonna
drive it to shepherd sheep.
Cool, give me 4,000 and it's yours.
Okay,
but, bro,
I've checked the system
and you still have
quite dozens of unpaid penalty points.
According to the current regulations,
the points might cost 5,000 yuan.
What do you mean?
I'm selling you for 4,000,
are you saying I should
pay you another 1,000?
Well,
I didn't expect the unpaid penalty points.
Alright,
how about this,
say,
I give you 500?
Deal?
You made a lot of money
by repairing our car.
4,000 yuan is fairly cheap.
And you're taking it for 500?
I mean, seriously?
Just let him take it.
Okay.
You sure you can drive
it to Inner Mongolia?
Inner Mongolia? Yeah should be fine.
But I need to get rid of
the dark window paper.
Look.
Can't see anything
at night.
Man, could you close the trunk lid for me?
Thank you.
Thanks.
hit melody.
A collection of 100 songs and 100 poems,
Terrans is the second one of his series.
A mix of Pop and Electro,
it hits right notes with young people…
Hey, wait, go back.
Back.
Now let's check out
this hundred-million-hit title song
Terrans.
I love you, I truly love
you, but you can't get it.
You take it for granted.
I love you, I truly love
you, but you don't trust me.
You stay in the shadow of doubt.
I love you, I truly love
you, forever love you.
But I lost you, forever.
I pray to God,
for a pair of wings.
Someday I will fly to the moon.
I will reach the top of the moon.
I feel lost and empty,
as the jeep took all of my emotions away.
Senior year is like a mirrior,
showing who I really am.
Those past mistakes
and pains that I suffered,
are sucking the life out of me.
Shall we begin again,
to seize the day,
choose our own way,
and find ourselves?
Are you in?
