[Episode 26]

You were amazing.

Everyone was moved by you.

Did you hear them applause for you?

Shasha, I heard it all. Thank you.

Good.

I finally know why you always yearn to come on stage.

Now you know?

I thought that we could stand on it together in the future.

On the stage?

But if your progress, if you don't practice the piano well

then I'm afraid that I have to wait until I'm old until I can't raise the baton.

I will practice well.

We can collaborate together very soon.

I believe in you.

I never been this nervous in my lifetime before.

Don't be nervous.

- I'm going on stage. - Okay.

There is a changing in the main violonist?

Why a sudden change?

Let's see how they will conquer us.

Full of obstacles.

I eventually brought this song along and stood on the semi-finals stage.

The leader of this symphony is not only the conductor,

but also the solo violinist who plays this symphony.

Thank you, Qing Shang.

Your performance has bestowed soul to this piece of music again.

Once again, I have experienced the perfect concerto in D major.

and thank you, Xiaowo.

It's you who sees me every time that I'm upset.

And sees me when I'm helpless.

Meeting you is the luckiest thing to me.

Thank you everybody for being here.

We are happy to have such outstanding musicians

for the edition of this year.

First, let's welcome

our dear Jury's President

William Fox.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you everybody for your performances, but this is a contest

so we had to make a choice.

Indeed. Please would you like to welcome our three musicians.

It's more than a competition,

it's some wonderful music's concert.

It was a feast for ears.

I will announce the third prize of this contest.

It's the young conductor

Jean Monté.

The winner, the name that you're all expecting,

is none other than...

Li Zhenyan!

Would you like to give a big round of applause.

Li Zhenyan won the championship.

No one would be surprised.

I never doubted his abilities.

Then what do you plan to do for your next step?

Let's start our plan then.

Li...your Tchekovski was extraordinary,

it even reminded me my first love story.

I'm sorry for the lost.

No, she didn't die. I'm saying it was really...

Really moving, really charming. Just like your violinist friend.

Yes, of course and I will pass the compliments for you

but she already has a boyfriend.

Li, with this grand prize you have to start without a rest your performances.

This is the reward for winning this contest.

I've also gained a lot from this competition. I really appreciate it.

This is just the beginning.

Good luck young man.

Let's take a picture together.

What are they talking about?

It means that he will leave Paris soon.

To be honest, you allowed me to be really surprised after coming back to Europe this time.

From the prelims to the finals, your change really opened up my eyes.

You allowed me to admire you but also feel uneasy.

What I admire is that I haven't seen you in half a year yet you improved so much.

You must've put a lot of effort that people wouldn't think of. At the same time, what makes me uneasy

is because of your talent

that makes me want to catch up.

Thank you for allowing me to be so hard working.

Thank you.

Li Zhenyan, this is just a competition.

I will never admit defeat to you.

Of course.

You're really amazing. I'll look forward to meeting you again next time.

Come on, Daria!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Li Zhenyan, you're back!

Do you know when you were standing there today

I thought it was so far and when I went forward

to get closer, you were even further.

Li Zhenyan, you're back. It's nice to have you by my side.

What's wrong with her? She drank so much and you guys didn't even stop her.

Who would've known that she has low alcohol tolerance. She only drank have the bottle and became like this.

She's in a bad mood. Let her take it out.

She's in a bad mood? What happened?

Who said that I'm in a bad mood?

I'm very happy right now. Look.

Enough, you're happy. Let's go sleep.

Okay.

I still want to drink. Qing Shang!

Okay, you're lonely.

Sleep well. Goodnight.

Li Zhenyan, after winning

are you going to go find Maestro Wayn?

Are you going to leave me?

So this is why you're sad?

No, I'm very happy.

Say, it wasn't easy for us to come to Paris

and at the end, we're going to separate.

Will you really leave me?

Don't worry, I will always keep you company and not leave.

Hurry and sleep.

- Here is your noddles. - Okay.

It's fine.

Here is your noddles.

Stop eating. I have serious things to tell you.

There's still another huge expense. If things continue this way,

our orchestra can't endure it. Stop eating first.

Let me think of a way.

Don't tell them first. I'm afraid that they'll be worried.

Actually, as for sponsoring an orchestra,

this is quite risky to us.

I've seen your documents.

I personally think it's not bad

You are the concertmaster of this orchestra, right?

Yes.

It's like this. As the concertmaster,

Your music represents your orchestra's level.

Just in time. I also saw you bringing your violin today.

Why don't you play a song for us? How about it?

It won't take up too much time. Just a small part.

I heard you guys had a performance at Shanghai before.

That was the fist performance for our team

So the price that we can sell is...student pricing.

CEO Deng, it's like this. They're still up and comers right now, and-

Hello?

Oh. Okay, I will take care of this.

Okay.

This is documents about our group.

Our group is actually from Mario Paci Conservatory of Music.

Have you heard of Mario Paci Conservatory of Music? It's a Shanghai

- music school. - I know.

We're young but our level in music is actually very talented.

I hope you can take a look.

I hope so.

Let me reconsider it.

Thank you, Boss.

I heard you went to Paris on the first stage and saved the situation.

Was it that thrilling?

Right? Because it was

so I like this place that is full of challenges

but there's no...

Don't have what? There's no me, right?

Move aside. You're so annoying.

What? Only you can talk to my sister?

- Let me. - Okay.

Enough, stop being childish you two. I miss you guys.

You look very frazzled.

Is Team RS very tough, Qin Fen?

I... do I look like I'm about to be tired to death right now?

Is your heart aching?

Let me tell you. No matter how tired you hard, play the violin everyday.

Okay. I know.

I wanted to say that even though you play the violin well and do your homework

but in life,

I'm afraid that you can't find good food to eat.

I'm afraid that you can't life well or get lost.

Right? I don't know the weather over there either.

Is it really dry?

Did you bring the Xiao Mihu masks that I gabe you?

I didn't bring them!

Okay, remember to use that.

You use it there and I'll use it here. It's a pair.

Everything is a pair. This can be a pair too?

But after riding the airplane for so long, I feel like

I became ugly and frazzled.

You didn't get uglier

but you use a mask to nourish hydration then you'll be even more prettier.

Where are you guys right now? Why does it look weird?

I...

We came to walk around.

Last time, I showed you the new practice location

what do you think? Isn't it very great? There's feelings there.

It's just a pity that you're not here.

Wait a second.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

You guys waited for a while.

Hello, Director Wang.

- You're Qin Fen right? - Yes.

Please sit.

I've already seen the video of your previous performances.

But because your orchestra consists of,

Undergraduate students and this year's graduating students,

so I reconsidered

the problem of not having enough experience.

Then we won't take up your time today.

I hope we will have a chance to collaborate with you in the future.

Young lad, don't be in a rush.

Sit down.

It's like this. Before, I was lucky

to watch Team RS' performance.

Your orchestra performance enthusiasm

and love towards music

left behind a deep impression.

So this time seeing you guys

request for this sponsorship so I was thinking

if I could help you guys.

Then, Director Wang what you mean is...

I don't know

if we'll be lucky enough to cooperate.

Of course! Let's have a good collaboration.

Thank you, Director Wang.

- Let's have a good collaboration. - Young lad, work hard.

Yes!

I look forward to our collaboration.

Thank you, Director Wang.

Let's go.

Did you just react?

Of course not.

I just think it's all of a sudden.

I also don't know if Mr. Vogri speaks Chinese or not.

Will he like me? Will he be mean?

If he really doesn't know how to speak Chinese

then you'll regret for not learning French.

I didn't think I would stay behind this fast.

Also, I heard Qing Shang say that students that those Master bring

will have a chance to perform alone.

Only the students that are talented have this opportunity.

Do you think it's possible for me?

You've finally got your head in the right place.

Why do you want to have a recital all of a sudden?

That's because I want to

perform with you faster.

I also want to be like Qing Shang.

On the same stage,

the light shining on you

and play the piano right next to you.

Just like how we play together in private.

I'm watching you by your side.

I can see you better than being at the backstage.

How did such a good performance allow you to say it in such a cheesy way?

But I believe your talents.

You can definitely be selected to have an individual concert.

- So you have to practice the piano well. - Then will you go with me?

If I don't go with you

then who will I cook for at home?

Okay!

Then... while I'm at it, I'll make another request.

Am I spoiling you too much?

Okay, say it. I'll reconsider it and see if I can promise you.

Can you go on a date with me this Saturday?

What? Saturday?

I think I have something on Saturday so I can't.

What is it?

Because I seem to promise someone called Fang Xiaowo and go out to have fun with her.

Isn't that me? Pinky promise.

Pinky promise.

Pinky shake on it.

Pinky shake on it and and keep your promise for 100 years.

Don't change it in 100 years.

Why did you wake up so early?

Morning.

What are you doing?

I'm organizing your daily schedule.

From now on, you'll have 8 hours of practice and 2 hours of music theory every day.

Before you meet Mr. Vogri, memorize French words every day.

Put a check everytime you finish it.

[Priam]

You have a good insight.

These clothes suit our little mascot.

Yes.

How about it? Let me discuss something with you.

Once you sign this contract, you'll be my assistant conductor.

You will travel the world with me.

This is a chance that everyone dreams of.

Also, the terms of the contract,

Are much more rich and generous than that of our peers.

Once you sign this contract, within a short period of time

you will fulfill your dream of being a conductor.

It's best if you find someone else.

Do you always reject because of my relationship with your dad?

Or do you not dare to personally face it?

It has nothing to do with him.

Maestro Wayn is my only teacher. I will not chose you.

Then why aren't you looking for Maestro Wayn?

Do you think that you can continue to go on with Xiao Wo like this?

is it good towards her?

Have you truly thought that she can't leave you

or vice versa?

Fang Xiaowo is focusing on you.

All your actions will involve her.

Her piano skills aren't worse than yours.

It's just that she doesn't know so she's being casual

but you should know.

And if you just let her be like that,

then she will only stay in place and won't progress.

This will harm her instead.

Indecisive and warm-hearted, you're not doing a favor.

Her focus is all on you.

As long as you're by her side then she won't worry about what she wants.

It's only once you leave her that our mascot can truly think about what her future might be.

That's right.

This process will be very painful.

It's what everyone needs to experience in order to grow.

You can also help.

Xiaowo, have you thought about what you want to do next?

I want to keep being with you.

I'm not talking about this.

I'm saying that as a musician,

You need to play more ensembles with other orchestras after playing with me.

For instance, you're going to have your recital.

But I only want to collaborate with you.

Only you understand my music from the piano.

I don't want and don't need anyone else.

Xiaowo, do you remember

after you saw Fei She'er and Song Ran's collaboration online,

You took me to practice with you.

but you gave up after playing it once.

Do you remember me telling you to not give up half way?

I remember so I won't give up half way this time.

I will definitely play this song well.

So, will it be the same even if I'm not here?

What do you mean?

Do you regret?

Are you leaving?

If you want her to shine

then you have to let her know how much she loves playing the piano

And being on stage.

In order to do this, you have to let her see herself first.

Allowing her to leave you.

Li Zhen Yan. Genius is easily misguided.

She probably won't regret her decision now

but will you not?

I can't.

I can't.

You can't what?

You can't go anywhere right now

because you have to attend classes.

Are we not leaving?

You scared me to death.

I forgot everything that I remembered today.

It was hard for me to stick all these.

Oh right. You also stuck post-it at the back of me.

Good thing Qing Shang found out.

I asked her and she didn't tell me. She told me to come back and ask you. What does it mean?

Amour

Amour (Love in French)

It means silly.

I worked so hard and you're saying that I'm silly? You're the one that is silly.

It was tough for me to remember.

I felt asleep.

I was scared to death.

Your every move will affect her.

Her piano talents are not below yours. She just doesn't know it yet.

That's why she can do whatever she wants. And you should also understand,

if you are as carefree as her,

she can only stay at the same step, never progressing.

That will end up harming her.

Li Zhenyan?

Are you up?

I'm coming in!

I'm leaving Paris for two months. Go to class properly.

Take good care of yourself and wait for me to return.

Li Zhenyan...where are you?

Xiaowo. I'm sorry.

I...I memorized all of them.

I practiced piano for nine hours yesterday.

I studied music theory for three hours.

I followed every step of the plan.

Didn't we make a promise?

Why did you suddenly leave?

Xiaowo, I...

I know I'm a fool

But this fool is working very hard,

very hard to learn.

C-can you not abandon me and leave by yourself?

You even stuck a post-it behind my back.

Thankfully, I found it in time!

I asked him and he wouldn't tell me. He told me to ask you. What does it mean?

Amour

Amour.

It means "fool."

Xiao Wo. "Amour" actually means "to love."

Today is our Orchestra RS's

first practice in this room!

This will be our home from now on!

Everyone knows that to us, Orchestra RS

holds special meaning to us.

Then today, some new people joined us.

I'm very grateful to have our old members still with us.

I think if our new Orchestra RS is to keep going forward,

we must find a mutual goal and work hard together to make it come true!

I agree! If we don't have a mutual goal,

So I think we should try to enter the Shanghai Conservatory.

Um...as I know,

just the rental fees for the Shanghai Conservatory are over 100,000 RMB.

Also, we still have to practice there right?

That will require more time.

We cannot afford the rental fees.

Yes. Shanghai Conservatory is a place we all want to go to,

but...can we really do it?

Don't say that!

We are musicians.

Is there anything wrong with going to a conservatory?

So, as long as we work hard,

Shanghai Conservatory it is! We can definitely do it!

Okay! Then let's begin today's practice!

Then let's welcome, Conductor He Shengliang.

Stop!

Concertmaster. You must remember. You are an orchestra's concertmaster.

If you fall deep into your own music, you can go be a soloist.

Also, everyone else. There are so many problems with all of you!

I don't believe that not even one of you can hear that you're not playing together!

Unless none of you have any music sense!

Must you talk like that to us?

We haven't practiced together for a long time, it's very natural!

Also, let me tell you. If my senior brother wasn't here, you wouldn't even have the chance to conduct, okay?

Do you think I really wanted to come conduct you?

I only came because Li Zhenyan asked me to!

Also, true professionals

won't be affected no matter how long they haven't practiced!

You made such a beginner's mistake, and you won't even let me conduct?

Okay okay okay.

It's our first practice. Of course we'll have problems. It'll be fine once we work it out.

-Let's continue. -Wait.

Also, oboe. Your reed has issues. Get a new one.

I couldn't hear a problem!

Stopping rehearsal just for that, you're overexaggerating!

I don't know how you all worked together before.

But changing conductors means changing styles.

I will not allow for even the smallest mistake,

no problem, big or small, is allowed!

Also! As to the problem of arriving late and leaving early,

if you do it three times, please leave.

You're over exaggerating. Leaving the team after three times? Can you conduct our team or not?

You're too cruel!

We've all graduated now. There's many things to deal with.

Of course it will be affected.

That's right! You're making us leave after three times.

Even professional orchestras don't have a rule like that!

Professional orchestras wouldn't let you continue, nor would there be three chances!

Since none of you can accept it, we'll stop here for today.

Fine.

What's with the attitude?

Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Symphony Lovers @ Viki.com

It seems like everyone needs some time to get used to He Shengliang being the conductor.

Yes. He's too arrogant.

Why were you so rude earlier?

There were so many people there.

He was the one who was being too rude first!

Also, in front of everyone, I don't think he was cooperative at all.

Then can't you hold it in?

I've thought about the Music Festival.

If we can perform three times,

then we can go.

Three times is enough?

Okay. Then my family will take care of lunch.

Thankfully my family runs a noodle shop.

We can help everyone save some money.

Then...where will we find the chance to perform?

I don't know either.

Excuse me...who is in charge of this orchestra?

Um...boss...so...

My shop is opening this weekend.

I went to buy something nearby just now.

I can't believe that I heard the symphonies.

Isn't this fate?

How about this? You will perform at my opening celebration!

Boss, you mean, you want our orchestra to perform at your store?

That's right. My store isn't big,

but don't worry about the fee.

I definitely won't treat you poorly!

No problem! It is definitely suitable, definitely suitable!

Let me tell you. I grew up listening to symphonies.

Let me tell you. Since I was a child,

I really really love listening to it!

I'm impressed!

Boss, then, what about the performance fee?
