Ping Pong

This show is the selected drama by NRTA

in celebration of
the 70th anniversary of the PRC,

and was funded under
the 2019 Art Creation of Hubei.

Episode 3

This is a work of fiction.
Any resemblance is purely coincidental.

Start your training.

Dismiss.

Start doing frog hops now.

Yu Ke Nan.

Keep an eye on them.

Don't let them slack off.

Mr Yu, nice to meet you.

Don't forget me when you
become the frog hop champion.

Cut it out. Get on with the training.

I'm telling you.

The head coach doesn't
simply show up here.

Here comes the real opportunity.

Are you done hopping? Can you hurry up?

I have another match.

Let's do it.

11-4. It's over.

First day of major training

Me VS Su Chang
4-11

Brother.

Xu Tan has been using that notebook

since he joined the Beijing team.

But he hasn't improved much.

Ping-pong is all about one's body.

It's not some cultural lesson.

There's no use memorising things.

Yes.

For those who are done,

take turns to report your name and scores.

Come, we don't have all day.

Su Chang, 11; Xu Tan, 4.

You lost seven points.

Do extra seven sets
of multi-ball training.

Write it on the blackboard by yourself.

Lu Xiao Bei, 8; Wang Qi, 11.

Three sets.

Li Jun Hui, 11...

Those who are done. Hurry up.

Stop playing around. Serve it right.

It's time to eat.

It's the only way to get it done quickly.

I'm done.

Serve it right. Go slower.

Na Seng.

Rub my waist.

Why don't you rub mine?

Na Seng, here.

Rub my legs first.

It hurts.

It hurts.

I'm out. I want to go home.

Mom.

I want to open a beef noodle house.

And I'll have beef noodle every day.

I miss my mom.

We're only halfway through the training.

What do we do next?

The regional training
and the Beijing team

are totally different.

It's full of great players.

There are many people

who play better than me.

Everyone of them has
their own unique skills.

And they improve

every day.

I'm really too far behind.

Now I must let go of all
distracting thoughts and move forward.

Starting from today,

I must set myself

a higher goal.

Bite on Yu Ke Nan.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

Get up.

Get up.

Get up.

You're going to be late.

Why did you lie down again? Get up.

Hurry up.

Xu Tan.

It's dangerous.

It's safe.

Let's go.

Stop.

Here. Get over here.

Stand here.

Coach.

Not bad.

You're fifteen minutes late.

Forget about the training.

Just stand here and
reflect on your mistake.

Yu Ke Nan.

Come here.

After the training,

run ten thousand meters.

Why should I be punished?

You think we made you the dorm leader

for fun?

If they ever mess up again,

you will take
primary responsibility for it.

Fine.

Anything you say.

You haven't eaten yet, have you?

I got you some noodle.

I'm not hungry.

Eat before it gets cold.
If not, it'll turn soggy.

I'm sorry

for what happened this morning.
I'm to blame.

Why are you even talking to him?

He's Champion Yu.

He doesn't give a darn about us losers.

Go to sleep now.

Or you'll get punished again tomorrow.

Brother.

Xu Tan writes on his notebook every day.

And it's quite useful.

I think he's getting stronger.

You need to watch out.

He took advantage of you

because you're in poor condition.

No matter ill-intentioned he is,

he can't beat me

without good technique and standard.

Let's go.

Lin Hao Zhi, 65

Four-Eyed Boy.

You owe them 65 sets
of multi-ball training.

You're amazing.

You'll have to play until next year.

Hit the ball onto the table first.

And hit it onto that barrier.

No point for you if you miss it.

Go ahead.

What is this?

Did you skip your meal?

Power!

That's the style of men's ping-pong!

Got it?

Got it.

Play!

No food until you finish all the balls.

Harder.

We've run out of balls.

I'll pick up some of them.
You get some rest.

How many sets to go?

Forty sets.

Mr Zheng.

What's wrong?

I...

I know I deserve to be punished.

But Xu Tan has helped me with
the training since this morning.

If we keep on doing it,

he won't get to eat and rest.

Well,

can we call it a day?

Sure.

You may stop the training.

Yu Ke Nan, come here.

I

only let the well-practiced players rest.

In that case,

I'll give you a chance.

You two will have a game.

If you beat him down,

you can take a rest.

Come, let's get it started.

You, come here.

Both of them will have a game.

You'll jot down their scores.

This Champion Yu

really wants to win at everything.

Indeed.

He should let him have a point.

Brother.

Is he going to make him lose the game?

Go ahead and finish the remaining sets.

Yu Ke Nan.

Would it kill you to let him have a point?

Do you even have sportsmanship?

Winning

is sportsmanship.

What are you doing?

Stop!

Yu Ke Nan.

Ke Nan.

I'm not here to criticise you.

Yes, that's how a match should be.

However,

Lin Hao Zhi has been
in poor condition lately.

Keep a close eye on someone.

Don't let anything happen to him.

What do I have to do with it?

The national team is collective.

You have
no collective consciousness at all.

That's why we made you the dorm leader

so that you can learn
how to take responsibility.

It's a test from Mr Mo.

Are you done? I'll get going.

Come to my office.

Your dad sent you some food.

I'm not eating. You can have it.

Ke Nan.

My goodness.

Everyone, gather around.

I have a good news to announce.

In order to recharge your energy

for the match tonight,

the coach team has decided

to cancel the afternoon training.

Here,

take your phone.

It's been a while

since you called your family.

Xu Tan.

Thank you.

We'll meet at 5:30 p.m.

The match will start at six o'clock sharp.

Don't be late.

Yes.

This is Lin Hao Zhi's phone.

Where is he?

We haven't seen him today.

Give it to me. I'll pass it to him.

Xu Tan, aren't you going to eat?

No.

Hello. The mobile you
have dialed is switched off.

Hello. The mobile...

Lin Hao Zhi is not back yet?

No.

We got you rice. Have some.

I'll go find him.

You should eat first.

I'm not eating.

Help me bring the laundry in later.

Lin Hao Zhi.

Lin Hao Zhi.

I've searched the entire center.

But he's nowhere to be found.

Where could he be?

He's probably hiding somewhere
to read Harry Potter.

A pair of five.

He's been in poor condition lately.

Did something happen to him?

Stop playing.
Help me to look for him.

You're worried for nothing.

He's an adult.

He wouldn't do anything stupid.

Yu Ke Nan.

Lin Hao Zhi has gone missing.

I'm training.
Don't block my way.

I'm talking to you.
Lin Hao Zhi has gone missing.

What does it have to do with me?

You're the dorm leader.

If anything happens to him,

you'll be punished.

Is this a kindergarten?

Please manage yourselves.

I have nothing to do with your problem.

You beat him at it this morning.

And you think
you have nothing to do with it?

Xu Tan.

I'm not like you all.

I came here so as that
I can get back to the national team.

The match tonight is very important to me.

Don't bother me with your stupid problem.

Be careful.
Don't get your legs sprained.

Didn't you say you're not coming?

I'll get going, then.

Please don't.

I've searched the whole center.

But I can't find him.

I think he's probably gone out.

Step aside.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up.

We have a match tonight.

Sit tight.

Let's go!

He's gone to the pier for sure.

How do you know?

There's a ferry that leaves
from here every day.

I'm sure he's gone to the pier for it.

Is this the right way?

What did you say?

I said, is this the right way?

I know this place better than you.

You said you knew this place well.

Where are we now?

Stop complaining.

Why don't you drive the bike?

I'm not complaining.

It's just that...

Something must be wrong with me

that I came out with you.

Enough.

Let's find him first.

We should drive back.

Champion, let's drive back.

Sir.

Have you seen a young lad?

He's this tall.
And he wears a pair of round glasses.

The glasses are broken.

He'd been sitting here.

I don't know where he's gone.

He's here?

He was here. But now he's gone.

That's it. We're running late.

Let's get going.

Wait.

Hello, where are you?

I'm at the dorm.

I went out to get some fresh air.

I'm sorry. I should've told you.

Fine.

It's okay.

I...

I didn't expect that either.

I shouldn't have come with you.

I'm sorry.

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

You're asking for trouble!

If we can't make it, we're dead meat!

It took us thirty minutes to come here.

And now we have forty minutes left.

We should be able to make it.

What's going on?

Is it dead?

Whatever. Let's go.

We need to return this bike to him.

Then what do we do?

Yu Ke Nan.

Yu Ke Nan, lend me a hand.

You can't go over that wall
by yourself anyway.

You're really a piece of work.

You're quite different from what they say.

What?

What different?

They say you're hot-headed
and unapproachable.

But I find you quite nice.

You want me to smash you next time?

Hurry up!

-I need to take my notebook.
-What?

You should get going.

Just forget about the notebook.

I don't care what your reason is.

You missed six games.

There's nothing we can do.

We will have to disqualify you.

Without participating the six games,

how can I compete for
the tournament quota?

That's your problem.

I told you so

on the first training day.

Attitude is the most important thing.

If you were to be late

for a world competition,

would they let you have a rematch?

Moreover,

Yu Ke Nan,

this is not your first time
you missed a game.

What?

Mr Zheng.

Could you cut us some slack?

Let us play as many games as we can.

Even if I can cut you some slack

and have a rematch,

what about the rest?

And you see, we're having the last game.

Can you play six games

in fifteen minutes?

That's impossible.

It takes at least ten minutes
to finish a game.

Exactly.

What if we play fast?

I'll say it again.

Rules are rules.

How about this?

I agree with your request.

Let's start from 9-9.

Twelve games.
You need to win at least nine games.

You have five minutes.

What do you think?

Sure.

That's too unfair.

The rest are not obligated

to play extra games with them.

You're right.

Therefore, we must seek

opinions from your opponents.

You can play

only if they agree to it.

Except for both of you,

all participants

may get double points for each win.

Sure.

Every participant

will receive double points for each win.

So don't worry about it being unfair.

Providing one can't beat you to it.

What?

I know

I don't have a reason or the right

to ask you all to play
extra games with us.

But we came here to train.

Besides training,

aren't we here to learn from each other

since we have different playing styles?

Therefore, I beg of you all.

Please give us the chance

to play with you.

Please.

I'll do it.

Both of them are late because of me.

So what if you want to do it?

You can't beat anyone at it anyway.

We're up for it.

We're up for it.

I think I can try it.

I'm not playing it.

Me too.

Are you scared?

Are...

Are you scared of me?

Xu Tan.

Just stop bragging already.

How can you beat Brother Chang down

when you can't even deal with me?

What?

You dare not play with Xu Tan?

Who said I dare not play with him?

Fine.

Let's play.

Don't cry over your defeat.

Start.

Yu Ke Nan, Xu Tan
Win: 1,0; Lose: 0,0

Yu Ke Nan, Xu Tan

Yu Ke Nan, Xu Tan
Win: 6,2; Lose: 0,2

Xu Tan, hurry up.

I do want to hurry it.

I'll do it.

Serve the ball.

Coach.

What's going on?

How can he take his place?

The coach said that, out of twelve games,
we needed to win nine games.

But he didn't limit the number
of games for each of us.

Quick, serve the ball.

Go for it. There's still time.

Yu Ke Nan, Xu Tan
Win: 6, 2; Lose: 0,3

Hurry up!

You lost.

I won!

Rules are rules.

You didn't complete the game.

That's a buzzer beater!

-It's a buzzer-beater!
-It is!

The fact is you didn't complete it.

Learn to accept both victory

and defeat.

The match is over. Dismiss.

Mr Zheng.

Wait, I did hit the ball.

Stop thinking about it.

Just make it up next time.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

It's okay.

You should get going.

Let's go.

Xu Tan

You need to eat more.

Here.

What's with you?

Eat more.

Lin Hao Zhi went missing.

You went to look for him
and missed the game.

You're truly a loyal friend.

You're officially

our brothers.

You're welcome to come to our places.

We will serve you with
nice foods and drinks.

That's right, Xu Tan.

Just follow us.

I guarantee you will have
a good time training.

We're not on holiday though.

It's pointless if we were to
have a good time here.

Don't you get it?

You're a newbie

who doesn't know how things work here.

That's not what a good time means.

After the major training,
there's minor training.

Take the physical training as a vacation.

Cultural lessons are when you recuperate.

As long as you master
the knack of training,

you will pull through the 35 days easily.

Brothers.

Don't you think something's missing today?

The great beauty.

Thank you.

They're out of dishes?

Shall we eat together?

It's okay.

I need to get back and
finish the multi-ball training.

But you can't just eat mandarin rolls.

Never mind. Enjoy your food.

Yu Ke Nan.

What's wrong with him?

He's probably still mad about

us cancelling the result

of his final game.

He's mad over a game?

I gave him a mission.

That he couldn't lose any game

throughout the training.

He probably thinks

that he's lost the chance to
join the national team.

That's why he's a bit self-abandoned.

Ke Nan is still young

and a bit aggressive.

And he tends to show his emotions

on the arena.

Being aggressive isn't
necessarily a bad thing.

He's a brave athlete

who dares to play hard.
And that's his strength indeed.

But it's hard to control his temper.

You need to take control of it.

Got it.

Everyone, get over here.

First of all, congratulations to you all

for pulling through
the major training successfully.

Next week, we will
focus on physical training

and cultural lessons.

I hope you will work hard

to change your state

for the training next week.

Any questions?

No!

Dismiss.

Some of them do play well.

For example, that skinny boy.

Are you talking about

Li Qi from Group Two?

Yes.

Yu Ke Nan.

Mr Teng, Mr Mo.

Were you playing ping-pong

or in a fight?

My hand wasn't in good condition.

Do you know why the national team

insists on

winning every point?

Because

that's the way to win?

Before the ball hits the ground,

anything is possible.

What does he mean?

Don't you get it?

The regional training is not over yet.

It's like the ball that
hasn't hit the ground.

That means I still stand the chance
to join the national team?

You must take

the cultural lessons and
physical training seriously.

Got it!

I will get full marks in them.

You just wait and see.

You brat.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry

about yesterday.

I kept causing you trouble.

It's okay.

I know you tried your best.

You don't have to say sorry.

Don't be like this.

Go ahead and beat me up.

I...

I won't...

I won't tell the coach.

Sure.

Actually, the cumulative score

is not so important to me.

I made a promise with Teng Biao.

That in order to rejoin the national team,

I can't lose any game
throughout the regional training.

What about yesterday?

Before the ball hits the ground,

nothing is impossible.

I'll get going.

It is usually used by a beginner,

or for the consolidation

It is a relatively fixed method.

The time for a basin of balls
is usually ten minutes.

Ping-pong seems to be simple.

But it is actually a sport event

with complicated and hard techniques.

It is hard to achieve
the expected results
