[Episode 13]

You're so amazing.

So-so.

These are a pair. One for me and one for you.

What do you mean? You want us to separate them?

- No, I'll always be with you so they will too. - Okay.

- You have to put it on your backpack. - Okay.

- Let's go eat. - Okay.

In the future, I'll call you Li Zhenyan.

You can kneel

Kowtow.

This one looks like Fang Xiao Wo right?

Everyone is in a good state. Go back and rest. Don't let yourself be too tired.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

Right, Qing Shang, as the head of the orchestra, do you think there's still much room for Orchestra A to make progress in these two days?

I think that in such a short time,

Since our first run-through was so good, we're in pretty good shape already.

I think so too. One more thing, thank you for your hard work these past two days.

You're welcome, you're very talented. You're even better than the people from our conducting department.

I think you can win.

-I hope so. -Good luck, bye.

You're here.

What's going on?

Nothing. I just miss you.

Didn't I just see you during the day?

I know you've been under a lot of stress lately.

So I've prepared a surprise for you.

What surprise?

Get in the car and you'll find out.

I know you must be especially tired lately, and you haven't been able to rest.

You just sit there and sleep, I'll tell you when we get there.

Let's go.

Why are we here?

To have a date. Tonight,

Whatever competitions, whatever having to do with Master Fei, we're going to completely forget about it.

Today, let's have one night that only belongs to us.

What's this?

You said before that you've always,

Hoped for a person to accompany you and celebrate your birthday.

But you've never seen that wish come true.

So I just want to take these bad memories,

And erase them for you. In this way,

Every birthday in your life will have my presence.

This is my birthday gift for you. Look,

For your first birthday, I would give you this doll.

In this way, you wouldn't feel lonely right after you were born. Here you are.

When you were two years old,

I would give you this little car.

In this way, the both of us,

Could have a daily adventure in the square!

Here you are.

♫ Happy birthday to you.♫

♫ Happy birthday to you.♫

♫ Happy birthday to you.♫

Make a wish.

I know. Why are you in such a hurry?

They'll be competing in just a few minutes. Once I have the results, I'll let you know straightaway.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You are such a troublesome man.

Your baby boy is even more troublesome than you.

I think I must've owed you in a past life. I came all the way over here to take care of your son.

Luckily, your son is more hardworking than you.

But I'm telling you, even if he is Li Ya Zhe's son,

I, Fei She'er, won't lower my standards for students. If he doesn't win, there's no way.

I'm telling you this, you owe me.

All right, I'm going on stage. Okay, bye.

Okay, everyone. Let's get started.

Let's start. In order, Orchestra A will perform first. Where is Li Zhen Yan?

Li Zhen Yan hasn't arrived yet. I called him but he didn't pick up.

Shall we go first, Master?

Tian Yi Song, what do you think?

I'm fine either way.

Okay. Then, Orchestra S will go first. Let's go.

I'm not joining the competition.

Zhen Yan.

Li Zhen Yan, what did you just say?

There is no need whatsoever for this competition.

What's going on?

Li Zhen Yan, what do you mean?

Li Zhen Yan, do you think you can play this joke on everyone?

Are you telling me that this whole thing wasn't a joke to you?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I know everything.

I'm more troublesome than he is, right?

He is not the person he used to be.

Let him know for me, I'm not going to let him get away with this.

I'm not joining the competition.

Do you want to live like this your whole life?

Stuck in the past, and fearing the future.

What about your music? What about your dreams?

What about your friends? And what about your opponents?

I don't want even the slightest thing to do with him.

Neither now, nor in the future. I don't want any of it.

Stop!

Li Zhen Yan. I have always regarded you as my most respected opponent.

I've been thinking non-stop about defeating you with my own strength.

But why,

Why do you always play with everyone so selfishly?

-I'm sorry. -You think this is fun, don't you?

Listen. I don't care about whatever riddle you were just talking about with Master Fei.

Now tell me, are you going to take part in this competition or not?

-I'm sorry. -What good does being sorry do?

I'm willing to admit defeat. You're the winner.

You can collaborate with Fei She'er.

Tian Yisong!

Do you understand

that Master Fei won't just accept a disciple just because you give up.

You ruined the competition; ruined my chance.

Li Zhenyan,

I won't forgive you.

Yisong!

Li Zhenyan, you were really overboard this time.

Hello, how did it go?

He already knew.

In the future,

I can't help you.

Be prepared.

Sorry.

Okay, I know.

Ask whatever you want.

What are we eating tonight?

Isn't it right there? We're eating curry.

What flavor is that? Spicy or original flavor?

Original flavor. You wanted to ask that?

Because I know whatever you do and what decision you make, you have your reasons.

No matter what reason I have,

what happened today seems like I was wrong in their eyes.

I was also at fault.

For what?

Today, when you rejected Master Fei

I felt relieved because I was afraid that you would go abroad.

You're not mad, right?

I'm mad? Is that possible?

Don't worry. I'll stay in China and do postgraduate studies.

I'll keep making food for you.

Don't be sad. I'll always be by your side.

The water is boiling.

- Stop drinking! - Give it to me!

Yisong, going abroad with Master isn't your only opportunity.

You will have more choices.

More choices?

I already lost my best opportunity.

I can only wait.

I also promised you that I would go abroad with you. How am I suppose to go now?

Even if I went,

that's the whole world.

If I don't have my reputation, then I've already lost at the starting line.

No matter how hard I worked, worked ten times...a hundred times harder,

all of it was of no use.

Yisong, don't be like this.

How come Master Fei never had me in his eyes?

How come I used all my efforts to get a chance

but Li Zhenyan just lightly pushed

and I got nothing.

I just want to know why.

Am I not as hardworking as him?

In what place am I lacking?

Dad, I don't want to be a pianist.

I want to study with Master Wayn Da.

I want to be an instructor.

This song is harder.

Time doesn't wait for people. Practice.

You only have dreams in your eyes.

Don't forget

that he's your son and not your toy.

I'm doing this because he's my son.

Otherwise, how will he stand out amid such brutal competition;

and endure it till the end? It's not easy to do anything

especially the road of being a musician.

It's always that simple for you, cruelly

to judge someone.

You never truly understood his feelings.

A dream that's forced...is just a nightmare.

Li Yazhe, let's get divorced.

[Fire Hydrant] [Fire Alarm]

You're still in the mood to daydream here?

When I came,

I didn't even know if I should go to Team A, Team S,

or should I go to the piano classrooms?

I don't even know.

Regarding what happened yesterday,

it was too of a sudden.

I'm really sorry that everyone practiced with me for so long.

It's actually nothing.

Team A doesn't mind since it's your competition

but I think it's a pity because after all, we

saw how serious you were, the efforts you put in,

and how hard you worked.

You gave up because you had your reasons.

I respect your decision.

Thank you.

It's nothing. I should.

That retard is coming. I'm leaving.

Huh?

How come she left as soon as I came?

What were you guys talking about?

Nothing.

How come you're still sitting here? It's time for practice.

Qin Feng,

did I disappoint you guys?

Why are overthinking?

This was originally your own competition

so whether you want to attend or not,

both works.

As your friend, no matter what decision you make,

we will support you.

You really are kindred spirits.

You guys said the same thing.

Are you talking about...

That's because we're both First Chairs.

We're both...a conductors radar. Besides, I really don't like her.

What? You like Qing Shang?

I'll go practice.

Hurry and come over. I'll wait for you at the practice room.

Are you Li Yazhe's son, Li Zhenyan?

I have no relation with him.

Then why did you reject Fei She'er?

If you really don't mind

then you wouldn't mind why he came to Paci.

I don't have to explain to you.

But I have to say it.

What do you want to say?

Fei She'er came to Paci

was partially because of you.

But you don't have to give that any weight; you can totally disregard that.

He came to Paci

was mainly because of his first love.

Your Principal Lin.

She was a gifted violinist, Lin Yumian.

Fei She'er fell in love with her at first sight.

Then, they fell passionately in love with one another.

He started to practice in order to catch up to Lin Yumian.

Fei Sixing, the piano is a one-man orchestra.

I think your talent isn't in piano.

You should go be an instructor.

Instructor an orchestra.

Those words changed Fei She'er's life.

He confirmed his future career.

He even agreed with Lin Yumian that they would go abroad together.

Perhaps, God wasn't willing to see

someone who's talented have happiness.

Because Lin Yumian's practiced too much, her fingers

couldn't keep playing the violin anymore.

Hence, she gave up on the violin.

Even though I can't keep you company

but this can keep you company.

I won't go then.

You can't.

You need to enter the wider music world.

You can't stop because of me.

As for me,

don't worry.

I... I decided to become a teacher at Paci.

I will try to find more talented people like you.

Their breakup was natural.

During all these years, Fei She'er became a ladies man out in the wider world.

Very casual. It's gone as far as the media calling him a musical wastrel.

but as his manager,

I understand and know him.

And with his coming here, I understand him even better.

that there's always been someone in his heart.

One call from this woman

can let him drop everything and let him come here to create a ruckus.

I understand.

Stirring up trouble. But taking on a disciple isn't stirring up trouble.

It's all because of that Li Yazhe.

That's right, they have a close relationship

but I want to tell you

Fei She'er not only values friendship, he also respects a teacher's professional ethics.

When I first got into the industry and became a manager,

I understand and know him. He respects music,

serious about it. He won't be swayed by the words of a friend and abandon his own principles.

Did he not come look for me because of what he said?

It's because of those words

but he recognizes you because he's been observing.

If he didn't see shine and possibility in you

then why would Fei She'er waste so much time and effort?

You said you were looking for a disciple.

Where is him or her?

Just be patient alright. I'm still working on it.

It's a big deal. Just give me some time.

You better do what you said.

Otherwise, I'll take you back to Paris right now.

I thought you knew me the best.

It must be Li Yazhe's son.

How did you know?

But I heard that he's part of the piano department.

Are you sure you want to take in a disciple that hasn't learned how to be an instructor?

Let me tell you. Even though he's learning the piano but his talents as an instructor

is higher than the people at his school and the ones learning it.

- Really? - Don't bother about who his dad is.

I'm telling you. Wayn Da, that jack of all trades, even thinks well of him.

I wouldn't be worse right?

Is that true?

Then I have to see how this child is.

If he really is talented then sign the contract.

You better be quick.

You better be quicker.

That's my coffee.

Words were like that but I can't ignore their relation.

Only people with no ability can consider all these external reasons.

If you truly have the abilities you need to become outstanding,

then no matter how close they are,

it has nothing to do with you.

Okay. I said enough.

If you have even the most basic ability to make judgments, I believe you've already thought this through.

If you don't really want to be an instructor then please return Master Fei back to me.

Don't delay my business.

I almost forget. This is for you.

You're a student for the pianist department.

Is there anything weird?

But shouldn't this be the song collaboration with Song Ran?

He thinks that if he wants you to understand

then you have to experience it yourself.

I was against it but there was no use.

Go back and think about it.

Once you thought it through then bring the music sheet to Team A.

What are you thinking about?

Master Fei wants me to take Song Ran's position and play with him.

That's a good thing.

It is but I haven't agreed yet.

Why are you hesitating for?

Actually I...

Actually, after that day you left

everyone was worried about you but we didn't dare to disturb you.

No matter what happened between you and Fei She'er,

you have to grasp this chance.

Didn't you always want to a stage?

Look. In order to eat the delicious pancakes in morning, I have to wake up early.

because if I don't then someone will buy it.

If it's sold out then I can't eat it.

Anyways, I brought it two days ago and I was satisfied when I ate it.

The pancakes are in front of me. Why not eat it?

Try it.

I'm not a pancake. Why are you looking at me like that?

It's true that you're not a pancake. You're a cake filled with eggs.

This one is good but isn't it too hard?

True. Look at my mine.

Hard is hard but it'll allow us to show our skills.

We don't have enough people.

We won't have enough to have a orchestra.

- Wait. How about adding a harmonica? - A harmonica?

Who's playing it?

Me?

This is...

I think...

I don't think you've thought out this suggestion.

Teacher, what do you want to say?

Regarding what happened yesterday,

indeed,

I have to apologize to you.

Don't apologize to me. It was me who didn't know my abilities.

Moreover, you originally came for Li Zhenyan.

You can't say it like that. Indeed,

one of the reasons that I came this time was because of my old friend's son

but this isn't the only reason.

I see your talents.

You will have more opportunities in the future.

You saw me but you still won't accept me as your disciple.

You're not suitable to become my student.

Why?

Look. When Team A and Team S first practiced,

you guys took the wrong music sheets.

You had the chance to return it but you didn't, right?

Also, during the selections for the vocal music department,

You did things that shouldn't of done, right?

Since you already knew

then why didn't you still let me and Li Zhenyen compete?

No.

I'm not blaming you.

The world is so big. Who

can really do things perfectly and within the rules?

Sit.

I just wanted to say

the pathway to become a musician is very cruel.

Gifted.

There's people that are gifted everywhere.

There's a lot of competition.

So as a conductor, we should focus more on the music itself.

Let the sound of our inner voice be clear and pure.

What do you say?

I know. I'm not gifted.

My inner voice

isn't clear and pure enough.

Master,

I understand.

Hello, Director Zheng.

Your clothes are quite nice, they fit your temperament.

Be careful to not make it dirty. It's hard to get a second one.

Sit down.

It looks like you can endure it.

Not bad. I've seen a lot of youngsters like you.

You have strong ambition but not talented enough.

I'm not interested in you

but I only have one daughter.

What's important is if she speaks

then I'll satisfy her requests.

I will assist you so that you can go abroad

and let you join the best orchestra in Europe.

If you are lucky, it's possible to become Maestro Wayn's disciple.

It's up to you on how you walk

but before that I have a requirement.

Tian Yisong, once you make this step then you can't turn back.

♫ On the surface of the shimmering sea ♫

♫ Blocked by the navy blue sea ♫

♫ It doesn’t matter; time will not be forgotten ♫

♫ My mask is torn; you met me ♫

Hello, nice to meet you.

Sit.

I just graduated college and I've been an instructor at school.

I'm glad to meet you guys today.

That's right. It's like...

♫ But my faith does not cease ♫

♫ Clowns can still sing ♫

♫ proudly among ridicule ♫

♫ My longing is bound by your gaze ♫

♫ Sweat severs the doubt to move forward ♫

♫ Clowns are not afraid to be broken ♫

♫ Time burns to ashes ♫

♫ And it doesn't matter ♫

Thank you.

I called everyone here today to tell you guys something.

I decided to take Song Ran's position, Team A,

Then what about Team S' performance?

I actually thought about it for a long time.

I decided not to participate.

It's mostly because I want to experience Fei She'er instructing

so I won't instruct this time. I decided to be a musican.

Isn't that pretty good? It's Tchaikovsky.

Outgoing and enthusiastic.

If Li Zhenyan plays Tchaikovsky,

I really want to watch.

Thank you.

That's right. We understand you

but what should we do if Team S doesn't have an instructor?

- That's right. - That's right.

- Who will instruct us? - Who will instruct us?

I actually already found a solution.

Come in.

- He Shengliang? - He Shengliang?

- Do you want to instruct Team S? - What?

Not including Tian Yisong, you are the most talented in the whole conducting department.

I really couldn't open my mouth and ask Tian Yisong.

so I wanted to ask you if you want to join Team S' last performance as an instructor.

But I'm part of Team A.

It doesn't matter which Team you're from.

What matters is you have to reconsider this opportunity.

Also, as the conductor, you can gain experience.

Think about it.

I want to tell you some news.

What?

From tomorrow on, Qin Feng and I

will start to practice.

I might not be able to go home and eat with you.

Will you miss me?

Will you be lonely when I'm not there?

No, it's great.

Look, I don't have to cook for you. I'm relaxed.

You must miss me when I'm not there. I know.

- You'll definitely be lonely. - Oh right.

I might be performing when you guys are performing

so I can't go watch but you have to believe

that Team S is always the best.

Of course, Team S is definitely the best.

Even though I came, it doesn't mean I agree with your viewpoints.

Since you came then play it well.

Stop.

Li Zhenyan, what are you doing?

I'm playing the piano.

How can you sit so calmly? I don't understand.

Where's your body language and expressiveness?

Body language?

No.

Li Zhenyan, how you should express the music's feelings through your body language

and send it to the audience. Everyone musician...

Every musician's most basic and important homework to learn.

Wait, Master Fei. I have a problem.

- Why did Tchaikovsky...isn't he supposed to keep it in his heart? Why is it— - Thank god!

Ok, did you feel when Tchaikovsky was writing this piece of music,

the pain in his heart, this kind of struggle and the beautiful thoughts he had for the future.

Did you feel it?

How come you can't play it out?

Can't you feel it?

I hope...

I hope you can use your heart

and not your ears to hear this music.

Let the deepest part in you, the most fragile and sensitive part

to feel everyone music note.

- Alright? - Alright.

From the top again.

It's the same as playing the piano, conducting is also a type of expressing.

Other than hearing every note clearly,

Also, according to every piece of work,

we instruct differently.

Mozart, graceful, exquisite.

Sometimes, even a little playful. It's the same as conducting.

Your whole body has to be invested in it when you instruct.

Look 1812 overturn.

A dance-like flow.

You have to feel it. Even the instructor has to feel it.

Come here.

It's like this.

I think you don't have to use body language to express while conducting.

You can totally express yourself in a reserved and flexible way.

Also can you stop using the style of how you instruct on me?

How am I forcing it on you?

Li Zhenyan, I was looking for you. Let me talk to you about the style for instructing.

Here. Last time, you said your point of view.

I thought of it and it makes sense but...

I still have classes.

♫ Let me tell you about the weird things I love about you ♫

♫ Let me tell you how when I think of you, it's from a secret at the bottom of my heart ♫

♫ Open the door to the most beautiful encounter ♫
