These desks and chairs

have to be

extremely clean.

Every spot has to be clean.

Yes. Put it there.

Yes.

Master.

I have bought the fruits you asked for.

Good.

You could check if they are enough.

Oh gosh!

Couldn't you be more careful?

You're so clumsy.

OK. After the cleaning,

do not forget

to put them on every table.

OK.

Huizi!

Where is it?

Huizi! Where is she?

Hello, Master.

Did you see her?

Nope.

Hi, Master.

Master.

Have you checked all the costumes, cosmetics and props for tonight?

Yes. Everything is ready except for Li Feng's apron.

All the clothes cannot be missing. Go find it more carefully.

Where did it go after the laundry?

You look great in your outfit today!

There you are!

Nice!

Remember to keep it that way.

Uncle! Uncle!

I've found the apron!

I'll have it ironed now.

You can go do your make up now.

OK.

If you want to practice, don't spare yourself.

If you want to spare yourself, don't even think about going on stage.

If you don't go on stage,

you will never be famous.

Go! Go! Come on!

What are you all waiting for?

Why are you

not hiding in the box this time?

Sister.

Please stop chasing me! I...

- After... After I... - Stop right there!

Stop right there!

It's just

the perfect chance for me

to get your mind out of the gutter.

Doesn't Master always tell us

to persevere in everything we do?

Where do you think you're going?

Why would a Senior Male like you practice the skills of an Acrobatic Male like us?

Because you have been sparing yourself since little

and I have to be the supporting role for you.

Sister. Sister.

Sister. Wait a minute.

You should keep up with the changes in the would.

Yu Fei! Dude!

I'm in the middle of a game.

Stop playing!

Sister. Please hold on a minute.

It's going to end very soon!

Really. Wait a minute. Very soon.

Give it to me!

Why would do that?

I'm not playing with you.

How did you even win the game?

Xiao Wu told me that

you have been obsessed with this game.

I'll give it back to you after you practicing

the Iron Bar skill and show it to us.

Don't break your words.

But I wonder

how you won the game.

Have you played this game before?

The last time I took away your phone,

I did a little research on it.

And I adopted the movements and blockings from it

during the rehearsal.

Uncle said I was not bad.

Look at you.

In my mind,

only uncle

can get you under control.

Nonsense.

You little bastard.

Stop right there!

Yu Fei.

Yu Fei.

Master.

I have been looking everywhere for you.

Where did you go?

You are about to go on stage.

Tonight's show

is very important.

Don't screw it up.

Trust me.

When have I ever gone wrong

performing The Dragon Meets the Phoenix on the stage?

Just show them how confident you are.

As long as it goes well today,

the provincial league leaders will be recommending you

to take part in the National Competition for Young Peking Opera Actors this year.

Me?

I've prepared a new whisker for you.

Use it tonight.

Give them your best show.

Thank you, Master.

Do not

embarrass the Shandengting troupe.

Come in.

Uncle.

Look.

This is the new whisker Master bought for me.

When I started to play the Senior Male role,

I always complained how stinky the whisker was.

Didn't you tell me that when I become famous,

I would have my own whisker?

It's not about you being famous or not.

It's that artificial whiskers are not so valuable now.

Master even said

that provincial leaders are here today to watch me sing.

If I sing well,

they will send me to the National Competition for Young Peking Opera Actors this year.

So you're one of those fame and gain seekers?

No, I'm not.

It's that I wanted...

Uncle, you...

Lanting, just get in there.

Congratulations, uncle.

Why didn't you bring us wedding candies?

Even if you have never been married,

have you not attended a wedding before?

Wedding candies are always given out after the wedding.

Uncle.

You are getting married?

Sister.

You must be shocked, too.

Uncle's fiancee

is Shi Meiqing, the Qing Yi actress from a Peking Opera family.

It's said

to be a love story of Romeo and Juliet.

It is such big news

in the Peking Opera circle.

Is it true?

Can people fake this kind of thing?

Uncle has already asked for a leave.

He's going to get the marriage certificate tomorrow.

Give your best show today.

I won't be your partner after today.

Are you going to stop singing

after getting married?

Sister. There is a new Senior Male in our troupe.

Uncle's going to be the newcomer's mentor.

Right.

Master has decided to start a new play for you.

You may be the main role in the future.

Boss Yu!

Yeah, sister.

Your time has finally come.

I don't wanna be the main role.

I only wanna go on stage with uncle.

Oh, right, sister.

It's not gonna be the last time you two get on the same stage today.

We are planning

that you will be uncle's best man at the wedding.

Best man?

# - Sister. - Isn't it funny?

It suits you just right, sister.

Are you done?

We have a show later.

I appreciate you two for showing up.

Enjoy the food.

OK.

We didn't prepare much.

But these foods are made by the apprentices themselves.

They made these themselves?

Lou.

This is quite exquisite.

Then have some more.

Here. I'll pour you some tea.

A female is playing the Senior Male role today?

I heard so.

A female playing a Senior Male role? Does that work?

I heard she's quite young.

Can she act out the essence of The Dragon Meets the Phoenix?

Let's wait and see.

I heard she's not bad.

Just watch.

There aren't many female apprentices in the Shandengting.

There aren't many female Senior Males in the country as well.

Yu Fei has been sent here

to learn Peking Opera since 12.
