[Episode 34]

I won't regret

because it's not an impulsive decision.

This thought has been in my heart for so long.

Perhaps, it was when Lumalet Orchestra first performed.

Or perhaps when I substituted for Master Fei when the tour was in Shanghai,

Perhaps, it was when I was the champion for the world-class conductor or earlier.

When I left China and Team RS,

I already had this thought.

What you said is right. Team RS might be in a bad state right now

but it will continue being like that.

In the past, we always said

that it would become China's best profession orchestra someday

but if we don't do anything then

someday will never arrive.

I always liked to stop at original place and think but right now,

I think I that now I should keep my feet planted on solid ground and do more about that.

That's right. There's a lot of times

that you answer once there's hope

but only if you work hard then there's hope.

Yes, we should do the World version.

We have to chase after our dreams and fulfill them ourselves, right? - Wait a second.

There's still someone that hasn't said anything yet.

I...

Do you still have to ask her? Wherever you go, Fang Xiaowo will follow you.

Besides, after she finishes her advanced studies, you won't have much else to do, will you?

Then let's confirm the time and purchase the tickets.

Can you Chinese people not be so efficient?

We don't know when we'll come back.

I would hate to part with you guys.

Will you hate to part with us or hotpot?

If you want to look for us, you're welcome to come back anytime.

- I know what you're thinking. - You know?

I'm not afraid of riding the airplane anymore. Don't think about taking photos of me.

No.

I already prepared gifts for everyone so you don't have to worry.

- It's also not that. - Then this time when we go back,

let's go look at the house we used to live in.

If it wasn't rented out then we can continue to be neighbors.

Li Zhenyan,

I'm preparing

to stay behind with Teacher Li Yazhe

and continue my studies in France.

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

How come you suddenly decided to stay at Paris?

Because Professor Wo Gerui asked me a question.

He asked me before I met you,

why I wanted to play the piano

and what made me start.

At that time, I wasn't able to answer it

because I was always thinking what I should eat

and you.

I understand now

about why I like to play the piano.

When I first heard the sound of the piano,

I going home to eat dinner. I was in a rush.

Then I suddenly heard

the sound of the piano from the windows.

At that time, I thought snow that drops from the sky would dance.

I kept listening there.

I even forgot to go back home and eat dinner.

The sound of the piano later

kept being by my ear and I didn't know why.

I thought the sound of that piano was magical.

In my heart, I held it in awe.

Later, I studied piano, practicing day in, day out.

I began to be accustomed to it.

I forgot

why I started to even play the piano.

It was Professor Wo Gerui who

let me know

I lost the respect I had for the piano.

I thought I was close to the piano already

but I'm actually really far.

When my heart doesn't have respect in it,

I can only ever see the tiny bit of progress in front of me.

I just felt the light of the piano.

I want to be closer to it.

I never had this feeling before.

I was never like you

for conducting, you would chase your dreams regardless of anything.

I want to try it for once

and be brave like you.

Xiaowo,

you really

grew up. I'm really happy that you have this braveness.

I will protect it with you.

Say whatever you want.

Last time I didn't come because something happened.

I didn't have time to tell you so you wanted the whole day. I'm sorry about that.

It's fine. That day,

I was idle so I just went to go sit there.

I wasn't waiting for you.

Also about the Butterfly Orchestra, I agreed to Tian Yisong's invitation...

You're a pianist. You have the freedom to go where you want.

It has nothing to do with me.

Zhenyan, you know that's not what I meant.

It's fine. I already said it.

Just then, I especially passed by

the cake shop that you used to like when you were young.

I brought it especially for you. Take it and eat it with Xiaowo.

I really want to ask

after you left my mom and I,

did you ever regret?

Do you know that during that time,

I really didn't want to see you or recall you

because everytime I think about

the nightmares of you forcing me to practice

and also because of you...

because of you my mom...

I'm really afraid of seeing you.

I'm afraid that I can't endure it when I see you

and want to punch you.

Why didn't you come look for me later on?

Why?

From that time on,

except for when Auntie occasionally came to check on me,

From elementary to high school to university, I was all alone.

At that time, I was thinking that I would absolutely not forgive you.

Zhenyan.

I actually...

I actually wanted you to come look for me.

As long as you come back and look for me

then I might forgive you.

Zhenyan, thank you.

For growing up under such hard circumstances.

There were many times

that I wanted to find you. I just hope that...

I just hope that you would give me a chance

to make up for what I owe you these years.

It's fine.

It's fine now.

I think

we might not meet in the future.

I'm going back to the country.

I wish that everything is successful for you

and I hope you

are always the pianist that is up there.

I'm leaving.

♫ Our smiles were messed up by the wind ♫

♫ You sing our songs and I smell you fragrance ♫

♫ The moon made our hearts transparent ♫

♫ I will still appear someday ♫

♫ And hold your hand and love each other ♫

Zhenyan, I broke your baton.

I was too impulsive.

Actually, I am very proud of you.

but when I was your age, I was much worse than you

but I was different from you. My whole mind was on the piano.

I only got here step by step.

I know you really like conducting

but I hope you can understand that in order to become a good conductor,

Working hard to learn the piano is something you must do.

You must take every step strongly.

I know you're only willing to chase after

what you like

but you don't know that during the process of chasing,

it's so hard. As a dad,

I hope I can become your goal.

Perhaps the action I used

was too extreme

but I believe that you won't blame me in the future.

This is also my first time being a dad.

I'm also figuring out to be a qualified dad.

But I realised that father's love is to let you to be brave

and grow up.

I'll wait for the day where you hold the baton.

Stop talking. Don't talk these past few days.

The doctor already said the vocal cords nodules

is just a small surgery. You have to live at the hospital for two or three days so you be admitted.

Okay, stop talking.

Don't talk for a month. I'm supervising you.

Why don't we call takeout?

Auntie.

I heard from my daughter that you're her manager.

Yes, I am her manager.

A manager isn't a bodyguard. Why are you over there for?

- Have a seat. - It's fine, auntie. I like to stand.

- Enough, have a seat. - Okay.

May I ask, as her manager,

I... I fell in love with her at first sight.

That... her voice auntie. I fell in love with her voice at first sight.

Then do you think she has a future?

I think she does. She's amazing.

Caiwei.

What's going on?

That much?

My mom really likes you. Do you want to be my manager

or my mom's son-in-law?

Are you going to send him off or not?

I don't need to.

It's time to give him freedom.

After talking to him,

I realized that as parents

we always think that our kids are still young and don't know anything.

No, I don't think so.

After leaving us...

you old man and young me,

they're kids that are not filial.

You old man.

You're alone at Paris. Take care of yourself.

Don't worry, I can't be beaten!

The longer I live, the stronger I get! You don't have to worry!

What are you worried about?

It's great if Fang Xiaowo doesn't harm others, right?

Let's go.

Even though you're smiling but I feel like you're not happy.

You were waiting for me before so it's my turn to wait for you this time.

You're Fang Xiaowo. No one can compare to your enthusiasm and freedom towards music.

Also, your skills are so good now. What is there to worry about?

You will get better and better.

Give a happy smile.

I'm leaving.

I'm leaving.

You're not going to hug me?

It's quite nice.

I'm competing the day after.

Go back and rest today, okay?

I have to prepare for the competition.

♫ On the surface of the shimmering sea ♫

- Go out. - Didn't we say that we would share a room?

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

Tell me. Exactly how many magical powers that you haven't used yet are you hiding?

Because foolish people have their own foolish blessings.

I will always give me by luck.

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

♫ My mask is torn; you met me ♫

♫ Wings were burnt by promises ♫

♫ But my faith does not cease ♫

Li Zhenyan, I'm hungry!

♫ 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 ♫

[What are you doing? Can you tell where this is?

I'm currently practicing the piano.

Li Zhenyan, is that the place where we both played together?

I really miss those times.

Me too.

I know feel like I truly came back.

Fang Xiaowo, I miss you more than I thought.

I'm beyond a cure. What should I do?

Come in.

Inside is better.

When I came back last time, it was practicing with Fei She'er.

Time passed by so quickly.

Team RS right now

is considered half collapsed.

Chen Zheng sent me a WeChat message today telling me

that after I went to Paris to look for you guys, He Shangliang and him held a practice

but no one came. I just...

What's happened here?

It might be hard to practice in this situation.

Qin Fen, don't you have warehouse's landlord phone number? Give him a call and see what's up.

Call him.

What's going on?

Disconnected number.

What's going on?

Don't be anxious. Let's think of a way.

I didn't think it would be in this state when you guys came back.

Qing Shang and senior brother, I know you guys have a better place to go after coming back from study abroad.

What are you talking about?

This isn't only your Team RS but everyone's.

Enough, let's not talk about this. Let's take action separately.

I will go solve the problem for the investment.

How is that possible?

Team RS isn't just yours but everyone's. We can't let you pay alone.

That's right so that's why I'm looking for the investors. I can't afford to pay it myself.

Even though there's a lot of problems right now

but if we work hard towards a direction then it will definitely be solved.

You also have an important mission right now.

Your mission is to think about the problems regarding the members.

Right now, whether there's any capital or a venue...those are things to talk about later.

What we have to do right now is to find the members from before.

That way, Team RS can be like before.

- That's right. - Okay.

You're finally willing to come back.

Of course. I thought of visiting you once I came back.

It proves how important you are in my heart auntie.

Your mouth is so sweet and you took the initiative to look for me. You should have a motive.

I indeed can't hide anything from you. Auntie, I came back this time actually

to let you be Team RS' investor.

- I heard of Team RS' performances before. - That's right.

- It indeed wasn't bad. - Is that so?

But they disappeared after you went abroad.

That's right. Yes, I know.

I went abroad to develop and

I saw how a professional orchestra looks like.

I came back to create my own professional orchestra.

Are you here to scam my money?

Isn't not to scam money but invest.

Think of a better reason and take this money away.

Because I left for so long it's at the lowest point right now.

To be honest, we can't even have the members together.

But I actually want everyone

to get together again and give them some hope

so what I need is

A rehearsal venue, more revenue,

And...much better marketing.

Zhenyan, I'm Director Gu at this time. This is business.

Right.

Director Gu, I need you to be Team RS' investor right now.

Listen to me.

Because I'm Director Gu so I have to think about the whole company's profit.

Each of my investments

must necessarily undergo a comprehensive evaluation.

I have to think about the risks and if it can give me back profits.

To be honest, your classical music orchestra is unusual for us.

We're not familiar with it so I'm not willing to touch it this easily.

No, auntie. Classical music has already developed in Shanghai.

You will definitely get back good things.

It's like this. If your orchestra...

if you sign a contract with us

or if you add Lin Qingshang to it, we could do it.

We could immediately come to an understanding. But if we're just adding RS Orchestra,

I have too much burden. I won't do a deal that I'll not make profit.

I know but I won't leave Team RS during this situation.

Just like what you said before that you said we had amazing performances

I am very confident that we can resurrect it anew.

I have to be responsible for the whole company.

Okay, auntie. No, Director Gu.

I understand. Sorry for disturbing you for this long.

If I was discussing with you using my identity as Director Gu,

now that auntie is speaking then do you want to listen?

I want to listen. Auntie, you say it.

I'm your relative

So, in my own name, could I

to invest in your Team RS?

Because the pathway you're taking will definitely be hard.

As you continue, many people will throw cold water on this work [dampen your spirits].

so I can pay the money but whether you guys can do it well or not depends on you guys, okay?

Don't worry about this auntie.

I will definitely show you and we will do it well.

I'm leaving then.

Wait a second.

What is this?

These are the keys to the house Xiaowo lives in.

The house Xiaowo lives in?

That's right. It's for you. I brought the house.

You brought it?

Because I think the house and the person that lives there

can make people not hate you that much anymore

So this house must be some place where immortals live. Buying it is no loss for me.

Auntie, I really like...

Surprise.

Thank you, auntie.

Welcome back.

When will you let me see your girlfriend?

It might not work this time. She didn't come back.

That won't do. You don't even have the ability to keep your woman by your side.

It's not that. It's because...because she's continuing her studies.

We'll wait until she comes back.

- Call me. - Okay.

This sonatina in A minor was written

When Mozart's mom passed away

he created it when he was in pain.

The sadness when he lost her,

he felt his own isolation, helplessness.

and the unchangeable nature of fate.

The only way to save him was in music

to find the strength to go against fate.

Xiaowo,

you're also experiencing the pain of separating from others

But to this sonatina's despair,

you add hope and wonderful things that belong to you.

No matter how painful separation is

as long as you have hope

there will be a day for the reunion,

right?

The piano is a single person symphony orchestra.

but not a pianist.

What do you mean?

Xiaowo, do you really want to go on stage with Zhenyan

and collaborate a song?

Okay, then you must know what a concerto is.

I know. Li Zhenyan told me before.

it's a soloist that blends into the music with an orchestra

Go against and collaboration?

That's right. How about this?

For example, when we want to play the piano

if you use only our right hand and not our left hand

then do you think the sound we play from the piano will have harmony?

Of course not

I understand.

It's like RS Orchestra.

Every person is holding the instrument they like.

And then, they use music to communicate.

Sometimes, no one speaks.

They only listen to one person's solo.

And sometimes, they each take one step back.

So it turns out that you can portray music with expressions!

Even if it's fighting, it's such a happy thing!

Exactly!

I also want to have this feeling!

Teacher, you're right.

My ability now is nowhere near enough.

I really want to help you

improve more, and then teach you.

As long as you like it, you can discover

the mysteries of music and how broad it is,

is bigger than you could imagine!

If it's like this,

you must separate with Zhenyan for some time.

It's a new song.

Is your throat better?

I am fully recovered now.

That's good, then you can sing, I can hear you sing right?

This is great!

No, actually I think,

within your lyrics,

I can always hear a warmth that's like sunlight.

Then that is my honor.

Actually Yan Yan I still

think there is an attractiveness in your lyrics.

I think there is confidence in each note.

-I'm very envious of that. -Why are you envious? Aren't you confident?

Sometimes...I don't know when,

I feel like I doubt my voice.

If I get on stage and lose the competition, I feel embarrassed.

If I sing the wrong note, I feel embarrassed. If I sing poorly, I still feel embarrassed.

No matter how I sing,

I feel embarrassed.

I'll let you see my embarrassing past.

What is it?

♫ I want to tell you-♫ (wrong key)

♫ I want to tell you- (wrong note)

♫ It may not be very important, ♫

My god! You left like that?

Yes. At that time, I...

I was especially embarrassed, because I knew I wasn't fully prepared.

And then there were so many people. When I got up there,

I got the wrong notes and the wrong words. I got embarrassed so I just left.

But it's fine, because, I really like music.

So, I didn't choose to give up. Why did I let you see this?

I feel like embarrassment is embarrassment.

It's a person's feelings.

I think if embarrassment and music is put together, it's not fair to music.

For example, the first time you were on stage, like at a school festival or something.

Something embarrassing certainly happened.

I think if you put it with music, it's too unfair.

I think-

♫ your eyes ♫

♫ Let me be fascinated ♫

♫ I want to look at the stars with you ♫

♫ I still hope there's time ♫

♫ There's time to hug you in my arms ♫

♫ I want to look at the stars with you ♫

♫ It's so beautiful. It's so beautiful ♫

♫ that I miss you ♫

♫ is you ♫

This place is mines.

It was idle before and couldn't be used for anything.

That's why I'm giving it for free to your orchestra to use.

I know, thank you for supporting and helping us all this time.

You're welcome. It's just now, I've come across some trouble.

I'm in need of money.

I must take it back and rent it out.

How about this? You guys go look for somewhere else to go.

Then...can you continue to rent

the warehouse to us?

It's not very suitable for the orchestra to practice in, right?

Besides, the rental fee

is about 100,000 RMB every year.

It's like this. Because our orchestra

is just starting to rise now.

We don't have a lot of money.

We cannot afford a very professional theater and practice room.

So...I think this place is more suitable.

If we pay...120,000 RMB,

can we rent it?

Of course. To me, it's the same no matter who I rent it to.

Besides, your rental fee offer is quite high.

But Boss, I have a request. I cannot give you 120,000 all at once.

I have to split it into two payments. Can I do that?

Then...when can you pay the balance?

We will pay the other half as soon as we are hired for a performance.

At the latest, it won't be more than three months.

Then how can I trust that you will definitely get hired, and pay the rest?

Boss, you watched us walk this path.

We came back from the global stage now.

You must trust that we didn't come back to fail.

I'm all done here. All that's left is Qin Fen now.

He said that he already sent everyone a WeChat message.

It says if we want

to restore Orchestra RS, then meet up at the old warehouse.

I...

I know they all have their own jobs and things to do.

But I never imagined none of them would come.

Were they busy, so they left early?

I've been here all this time. I didn't see anyone come.

It's understandable. Everyone has their own things to do.

We cannot interfere with that.

-Why don't we wait a little longer? -It's late.

Should we still wait?

-What are you doing? -What's wrong?

-You can't walk any further? -I'm not going back.

Have it your way! Don't go back ever again!

I'll give you three seconds to come back.

One!

-Let's go eat something delicious. -Let's go. Forget about him.

Hey!

-Hurry up! -Look at you!

Look!
