I think the old/young pairing is just the shell, at the core it's a commercial genre movie approach to tell the story of two completely different men, influencing each other to get out of their respective ruts. No one is perfect, everyone has problems to face, so we need each other to make each other a better version of ourselves. I will make the whole story more fresh through non-linear narrative structure, popular and funny comedy situations, dimension-breaking fantasy passages and narration, as well as the use of non-realistic colors.
Senior student Hai is honest and doesn't know how to say no to people. The biggest shining point during college is that he has organized a band that has little existence. After failing a class because of cheating for a friend, he and his girlfriend are in a relationship crisis. In order to make up credits, he took a social practice class by chance, but he was sent to an old people's home to do volunteer work, and met the "bad old man" Lao Zhao, who has a weird temper and can't express his emotions. The nursing home wants to organize a cultural performance for several elderly people, and Zhao, who can play the guitar, becomes an indispensable candidate. In order to finish his coursework at the nursing home ahead of schedule, Ah Hai makes a deal with Lao Zhao, who is eager to mend his relationship with his daughter, to help each other. One of them is "clueless" and the other one is "unhappy", and they turn Zhao's daughter's engagement party into a farce by going to the wrong place, which makes the relationship between father and daughter even worse. Zhao, who has never been to an amusement park with his daughter, invites Ah Hai to go with him and they have a wonderful day. On the other hand, his girlfriend's infidelity makes Ah Hai depressed, and his hangover makes him a laughing stock when he accidentally falls from a building and is rumored to be a martyr. The two of them keep each other company during their lowest moments, and gradually develop a sincere bond of fatherhood and friendship. After a successful performance, Ah Hai learns that Lao Zhao is terminally ill and tells the director of the nursing home, who is furious and cuts off his friendship with Ah Hai. At his daughter's wedding, Zhao finally overcame the emotional expression barrier, through a VCR to tell the deep love for his daughter, and finally reconciled father and daughter. Ah Hai visited Lao Zhao in the hospital, and the two of them pushed their hearts out, and their misunderstandings disappeared. Although the two of them will have to say goodbye eventually, they have learned how to face their own predicaments, as if they have been reborn.
