Episode 24

You will have more music that belongs to you and Team RS.

And this time it will definitely be better.

As the leader of Team RS, I feel quite selfish

because I admire your talent

And don't want other people to snatch you away

I want to pull you over to our team.

Then this time I truly hope

that you can continue to stay with our orchestra until the end.

Although I can't dispel

all of your doubts towards me.

But I can confidently ask you

to join us. So please consider our offer.

I know. I will consider it.

Why didn't you tell me that you came?

If I told you, could you focus on practicing?

Did you wait long?

I asked you if you waited for a long time.

It's ok. I just rarely see you practice alone for so long.

It's because I want to prove to you

that I can be a great concertmaster too!

So you are trying to take my place?

If you hadn't had a stiff neck at the competition, you would have definitely been 1st.

It was such a great opportunity. I feel terrible for you.

So what?

So... So I feel like

there may be a bigger stage waiting for you.

Qishang, I feel like you don't belong here.

So when we formed Team RS, didn't you say as well that you wouldn't stay here forever?

You heard everything in the practice room today, didn't you?

You don't have to worry about me.

Just do what your heart tells you to.

Team RS will definitely be fine.

I will get better and better! Just follow your heart.

When you come back,

I will definitely compete with you for the position of concertmaster.

At that time...

At that time, coming back won't be as easy!

Today I called you all here to make an announcement.

You don't have to announce it! We all know already!

Aren't me and Qing Shang in the same kind of relationship?

What I wanted to announce is not that.

Actually it's between Xiao Wo and I.

We plan on going to Paris.

Although I didn't win first place at the competition,

but there is a great master in Paris who is willing to take me as a disciple.

That's fantastic! Congrats!

Although we told everyone before that we were planning to leave, we've always felt guilty about it.

On this trip to Europe, I will work hard to become the best conductor

Then come back at an appropriate time to conduct you guys.

Wait a minute.

You and Xiao Wo are leaving for Paris and Qing Shang and Ji Mo are leaving as well...

If everyone is leaving, what's going to happen to Team RS?

In regards to the new concertmaster, I've thought about it.

You will take Qing Shang's position. I believe in you.

As for conductor, I want He Sheng Liang to take my place.

But he hasn't given me a reply so I'm not too sure of the situation right now.

I've thought about it. I'll do it.

You came! Come sit down.

You came so soon.

Welcome. Welcome.

I'm very happy that you are joining Team RS.

We have all collaborated before.

I heard from Qing Shang that everyone recognizes your skill.

So I'm confident

that you will conduct the orchestra well.

Wait a minute, I don't agree.

How can he compare to you?

Don't say it like that. I watched the performance video from before, it was great.

That time we had no other options. This time is different.

This is a long term collaboration.

You're right. We weren't on good terms before either.

The vibe with him is weird.

If I left a bad impression last time,

I'm very sorry.

But I can guarantee

that if I conduct the orchestra

I won't make the situation worse than when Brother Li was conducting.

We will only become more outstanding.

Because I believe in myself. And I believe in you guys even more.

It is the talent of every single one of you that made me agree to conduct Team RS.

So I hope that everyone can give me a chance.

So that all of us can create music that represents us.

With this attitude,

It is difficult for me to not be pleased. Welcome He Sheng Liang!

Alright, great.

Since Li has approved,

and Qing Shang recognizes your abilities,

I'll agree to having you conduct our orchestra. Good luck.

Thank you.

Anyhow, congratulations Li Zhen Yan.

I wish that your trip to Europe brings you one step closer to your dream.

I'm so envious.

We will work hard too!

You guys must try your best too!

Don't worry Brother Li, I'll practice lots.

Zhen Yan, I'm sure you'll be successful there too. See you in Paris.

See you in Paris.

Let's not have such a depressing atmosphere.

Even if I'll be in debt, I want to treat you all to a great meal.

Let's move out!

Really?!

What are you guys craving?

Anything besides my family's noodle restaurant, right?

Take care of these.

Teacher Zhang Shang Ge

can only help you until here.

Before going to Paris, remember to memorize all of these pieces.

Don't leave a bad impression.

Don't worry, I'll make sure to memorize them.

And if someone forces you to play in a style that you don't like.

Call me immediately.

I will buy a plane ticket to Paris right away and yell at them.

Teacher Zhang, no one other than you will force me.

What are you saying? Don't you see how hurt I am?

How upset and how pained.

I'm just joking!

I know last time you were just trying to help me win first place.

That's why you used those methods.

Don't worry, I will work hard.

It's just unfortunate how we won't be able to compose PiPi songs anymore.

This is for you.

No thanks, it's no fun dancing without you here.

We'll save it for when you come back.

Okay.

Then how about you give it to me first.

It needs practice.

Okay, be on your way now.

I'm leaving.

Go.

Xiao Wo! Xiao Wo! Fang Xiao Wo!

Teacher! You're leaving like this?

I came to take a photo of you guys.

What photo? It'll be useful for the annual report that is due soon.

Xiao Wo, stand in the middle.

I don't want to take one.

Why are you so serious and uptight?

Look at the camera!

Hey can you smile more brightly? It looks like you saw a ghost.

Ready, Bravo!

Bravo!

Okay.

You're free.

Bye Teacher Hu and Teacher Zhang!

Go now.

Be on your way.

I'm leaving.

Both of you, don't fight!

Take care of yourself.

What a great student.

Where can we find another student like her?

Right?

Old Zhang, I can fully empathize with you right now.

I open my practice room to you anytime.

If you want to cry, I can lend you my shoulder.

What's wrong?

I'm telling you Hu Qian Jue,

If you didn't recommend Fang Xiao Wo to me,

We would never be on such bad terms.

I haven't viewed you as a friend for a while now.

Take this and practice it well.

Find me in the practice room tomorrow and play it well.

What is this?

PiPi song?

Hello, Uncle.

- Thank you, Uncle.

- Your special daughter-in-law meal.

- Thank you, Uncle Qin. - You're welcome.

Dad, where is mines?

Don't you know who's the most important here?

Thank you, Uncle Qin. You've worked hard.

Thank you.

- Oh. - What are you doing?

Uncle, it's fine.

Goodbye, Uncle Qin.

- What are you doing? - What?

My dad is making everything he knows for you to eat.

Isn't it great to be our daughter-in-law?

I don't think so.

I'm telling you that after you go to France,

you can't eat these even if you want to.

Then do you not want me to leave?

No, if you want to leave then leave.

What are you saying?

Even though you belong to the entire world but you're still mines.

Then who belongs to whom?

Okay, I belong to you.

You look like you were forced to say that. You originally belong to me, okay?

Qin Feng, let me tell you. You have to learn how to cherish.

After all, I have such a bad insight.

There isn't much out there.

I'm actually think sometimes

if you hadn't brought me that make-up exam paper, then played the violin so beautifully that day,

I wouldn't be who I am today.

I'm probably just a person from the rock orchestra

or stay behind to learn how to cook noddles with my dad. I wouldn't know that I would be passionate in classical music.

I think the make up examination sheet that you've sent me

is my future notice.

That was my dog poo luck [idiom:dumb luck].

I was becoming moved by what you said, then you call it dog poo luck.

I'm telling the truth.

I even doing the dare.

Win me then.

I originally won.

Okay. Eat then.

Congrats. You can go abroad with Li Zhenyan now.

I also don't know why I'm going to Paris for

but Li Zhenyan is at Paris so we can do anything.

But you have to remember

that whether you're happy or sad,

you have to live for yourself.

Keep having your original intention.

What you said is right. I will keep having my original intention.

Oh right. Are you also going to Paris?

That's right. I'm going a bit later than you guys.

This is great. I don't know French.

With you, Qing Shang, and Li Zhenyan then I should be fine.

But you also have to learn it.

I can't. It's too hard.

I want to sleep once I read that book.

Oh right. Don't you like that girl? Did you confess to her yet?

If you still don't confess then you won't make it in time.

I like you.

I said that I like you.

Since the first day that I heard you playing the piano,

I fell in love with you.

I thought I couldn't find you when I grew up but who would've known that I was so lucky.

I found you and recognized you.

From that day on, no matter where I went,

my eyes and heart

was all you.

I could even figure out that you're the one playing the piano from afar.

I confirmed that it was you from a long time ago

and the person I like is you.

These are the words that I want to tell that girl.

You scared me to death.

Let me tell you. I'm not being a narcissist.

I thought that the person you were talking about was really

me.

Let me tell you. If I was that girl,

I will definitely be moved by you. Hurry and go tell her.

We are miss it

but it's fine as long as she's blissful.

What a pity.

There's nothing to pity.

Fang Xiaowo?

I'm leaving. Let's contact when we have time.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Drink some more. You talked for so long so you must be thirsty.

You have to take the make up Chinese exam in a little while.

What time is it right now?

There's still an hour.

It's fine. We'll make it in time.

If it were five minutes, there'd still be enough time.

Are you jealous?

I'm not jealous.

No.

What were you guys talking about for so long?

He said that...

- he'll miss me and we should keep in contact when I got to Paris. - Then what did you say?

I said that I will also miss him.

I'm joking.

I don't get jealous that easily.

Hurry and study.

Let's go to Paris and eat crêpes.

Let's go eat that...

Go eat the Eiffel Tower.

I want to eat crêpes.

Tens of thousands of music students graduate every year.

but the orchestra is limited.

Even if they don't have the ability, it's hard for them to get into a professional orchestra.

Some students are wasting their skills.

So, their belief in music is at its most pure.

Therefore, they alone can fight for their music dreams.

Listen.

That joy comes from deep in their hearts.

so being able to play such a beautiful sound.

These kids

make me aware that continuing down the path of music

isn't necessarily natural or easy to do.

How much randomly things did you put in there?

The things I collect are good things. I'm also bringing some to Paris.

Why are you bring so many things to Paris?

They're all useful. Did you not pack up yours?

I did.

That's all you're bringing?

Yes, that's enough.

It doesn't feel like you're a person going out to study abroad.

It seems like you're going on a vacation and coming back in a few days.

Are you not coming back? Of course we're coming back.

That's right.

It'll be different when we come back.

You've lived here so long and now you're moving out...is that really hard to bear?

What else can I do. It so expensive to live in Paris.

I don't have that much money.

Goodbye, my cute house.

You can live at my place when you come back.

That way, you can see your house often.

Are you telling me to be the female host? I can.

Stop being excited. Let's hurry and go.

Friendly reminder. We're flying for a couple hours.

- I don't need you to tell me. - Don't worry.

I put on hand cream. My whole arm is covered in it.

I can lend it to you.

You're crazy. Let's go.

Help me bring my clothes.

Hey! Why are you like this?

I can't bring this much.

Hurry! The car has arrived.

- It's so pretty. - Right.

Let me take a few pictures.

Let me help you take them. It doesn't look good from your angle.

- I will take them myself. - Look over there.

Oh right. I'm warning you.

Whatever happened on the airplane,

From here, empty it all out.

Treat it like you didn't see anything and nothing happened.

I'm not going to.

You're not like this often where you rely on me.

- Paris is so pretty. - I haven't been here in a while. I do miss it a bit.

It's completely different from Shanghai.

What are we going to eat later?

You only know how to eat the whole day.

- Let's eat after we drop off our things. - Okay.

Sorry, I have something to do.

I have to leave.

You guys go up yourself, okay?

The keys.

Let's meet later, okay?

Goodbye.

Let's go up.

Let's go.

We didn't bring our belongings yet.

Oh right. I almost forgot. Let me do it.

It's so big.

There's a piano.

There's also a study room.

My goodness.

The kitchen.

Let me take a look.

There's also a coffee machine.

Li Zhenyan, what are you doing?

There's someone in there.

There's someone?

Don't look. Let's go.

Li Zhenyan.

Hello, this is Li Zhenyan.

I want to ask...

how come there's someone else at the house I rent?

Sorry, I was in a rush just then so I forgot to tell you.

The landlord gave us the right to rent the apartment. /i>

So you will have a roommate. It's an foreigner.

Her name is Daria.

It's like this. I think...

Don't worry. Her Chinese is very good

so there won't be a problem with communication.

Just don't be worried.

No, this isn't what I meant.

I still have other things to do. I'm hanging up.

Look at this one.

The nostrils...

So awkward.

Fang Xiaowo.

Li Zhenyan, let me introduce to you.

This is our future roommate, Daria.

This is my boyfriend, Li Zhenyan.

Hello, I'm Daria.

Hello.

Is this you?

Okay, we have to get along in the future. Please take care of me.

You speak Chinese?

I studied abroad in China. I also play the piano.

I heard the house owner here is a mysterious Chinese person.

They usually rent it to Chinese people

but I know how to speak Chinese and love Chinese culture

so they made an exception for me to move in.

Daria was very nice. She wanted to help me with my luggage too.

I'm warning you. Don't put your luggage in my room.

You're going to help me tidy my room anyways.

Let's save space and share one room.

That's impossible.

Okay then. There's temporarily only three people in this house.

You guys can do whatever you want

but the house owner said the room that is locked,

you can't go in. Don't forget.

Locked door? Storage room? Could there be a monster?

Hurry and go back to your room to tidy up. Bring your luggage.

Fang Xiaowo,

I really have to hand it to you. How could you bring this whole pile of junk from Shanghai here?

Also, your clothes, socks, and your toy. Where's my clothes?

How come my luggage is full of your clothes?

- Li Zhenyan, hurry and come here. I found out a secret. - What secret?

Look at what this is. This.

It looks like it's been engraved.

Hurry and translate it for me.

It doesn't mean anything. It's just a normal phrase in French.

I'm telling you.

I'm competing the day after tomorrow.

Go back and rest tonight.

I'm going to prepare for the competition.

Get out.

Didn't we say that we would share a room?

[Passage Barrault]

Hello, what's wrong Xiaowo?

Did you see the photo that I sent you?

- Do you know where this is? - Hello.

- Hello? - Are you lost?

Who are you talking to?

Can you speak English?

French?

Wait a second. Don't leave. Wait for me over there.

What are you doing here alone ?

Can I help me?

Where do you want to go?

I don't know what you are talking about.

- French? Coffee? - I don't understand.

Let's go drink some coffee okay? Come with us.

- Come with us. Come. - Come ?

This is my boyfriend.

- My boyfriend. Love. Love. - Your boyfriend ?

You love him?

You see?

- Okay, that's good for you. - Love !

Oh i understand....Love...okay.

- You're here. - Okay but wait, what's your name ?

- What's your name ? Wait...

Don't leave. What's your name ?

- Her name is my girlfriend. - We just wanted her name.

- Bye, bye, bye. - We just wanted to know your name.

- Take care of yourself ! - Bye.

Can you not run around?

I originally wanted to go buy...

- buy the base for the hot pot. - Why would you buy that in Paris? What are you doing?

I just...

You can call takeout next when you want to eat something, okay?

I didn't expect that we would date on the streets in Paris this fast.

How is this considered a date?

I thought I would have to way until the competition ends?

- Is that so? - Let's go to the Eiffel Tower later.

- Eiffel Tower? Then, are we going to the Louvre? - We are!

Are you going to Paris? It's so far. Wait a second.

You want to go everywhere. Wait for the light.

Let's go.

Where are we going first?

Xiaowo, remember to learn French and practice piano.

- It's fine. You're here. - I can't look at the music sheet with you everyday and go to classes for you.

I'm not going to attend classes then. I'll perform and go to the competition with you.

Stop messing around. It was hard to get this opportunity so cherish it.

- Practice the piano well, okay? - I know.

Practice the piano well.

Tomorrow, the competition...

what is that called? Pu...

Pu...or Puti.. - Platini.

That's right.

Then are you not nervous? You're competing tomorrow and you still brought me out to have fun.

I already told you. For me, that sort of sharpening one's spear just before the battle and embracing Buddh'as feet in your hour of need [preparation at the last moment] is of no use.

What I need to do right now is to adjust my state.

How do you do that?

The main characteristic for which the Platini Conductor competition is famous for is its rigor.

The contestants all have the same skills.

So, what are they testing? They are looking to see if you can bring out your best mental state in your conducting.

Then they're also looking at your own special understanding of the music.

Then you already practiced for so long.

- There surely will be no problem. - What good is practicing for so long?

You pick the song on the spot and play on the spot.

- On the spot? - That's right.

It's about 120 minutes.

What happens if you pick a song that you never practiced before?

That's right.

You won't have a problem. You can definitely do it.

You're not worried about me at all?

What happens if something happens to me?

I think you're the best in the entire world.

- Is that so? - Yes.

[Black Velvet]

[The Chocolate] [Draft Beer] - Black Current cocktails. - How many? - Two.

- For appetizer, smoked salmon. - Smoked salmon.

Snails steamed in vanilla. - Okay.

For the main course,

- Boston lobster. - Okay.

- Dessert? - What dessert do you want?

I want to eat cheesecake. How do I say that?

- Cheesecake. - Yeah, cheesecake.

Very good.

Everything is in French.

It's amazing. When did you learn it?

You learned French for half a year and still can't understand?

I only know how to buy make up products.

There's so much people here.

Did you specifically find this place and brought me here?

It could be considered that. I usually come here when I was at Paris.

I haven't came here in a long time.

- I want to take a picture. - I'll help you take it.

- Take a look. - Let me see.

Are you tired?

I'm so heavy.

Li Zhenyan is amazing.

You'll definitely won't have a problem.

Can you stop messing around? What happens if you fall down?

I won't.

- Morning. - You're leaving this early?

That's right. I have to get used to the place.

- You got this. - Thank you.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

[Butte Aux Cailles Neighborhood]

Ryan Roberts.

George Peters.

If you're hungry then look for Daria.

Li Zhenyan, let's set out.

Daria.

Morning. Did you see my boyfriend?

Of course I saw your boyfriend.

He was afraid that you would burn up the house when you cook

so he told me about this yesterday at midnight

but I also don't know how to cook

so my safety is at risk.

What are you talking about?

It's that your dear boyfriend

- already went to the competition. - Huh?

Competition!

What do you mean? Xiaowo?

Are you not eating?

Really.

It's Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.

Almost everyone is familiar with this piece.

All major conductors have tried this.

How should I show this?

Contestant Number 17,

from France, 23 years old;

John Mote.
