[Episode 35]

Do you feel touched?

You all scared me to death!

How is it? Are you surprised?

You are allowed to dump them, but we can't trick you?

That's right!

Have it your way! As long as you're happy!

That means you're popular.

Qin Fen. Thank you for the recommendation from school.

Why didn't Lan Bo come?

Lan Bo joined a music group he always wanted to belong to.

I came to welcome Li Zhenyan back.

-Thank you! -Welcome, welcome!

Welcome!

Actually, it's about Orchestra RS's rehearsal. I can't come anymore.

Why not?

Because work and rehearsal are in conflict.

I really have no way to balance the two.

I felt I should tell you this directly.

I'm sorry.

You have to leave?

Chen Zheng, you haven't graduated yet.

You don't understand our position yet.

He Shangliang I really understand you

So...since you have your own choice,

I respect you!

- Thank you. - Wish you all the best.

My goodness. After fussing for half a day,

we created a fanmeeting for Senior Brother.

I can't understand.

You thought I wasn't dependable, that's fine.

But now they're both back, why is everyone leaving?

I worked so hard to find a space for us.

Everyone has jobs.

There's more and more problems.

We thought the problems were simple.

When we were in school, we thought we could be at ease once we found a job.

We were too naive.

Problems will arise one after another.

Qin Fen. Dreams don't come true just by thinking about it.

There's too many problems to overcome.

That's not important! We'll fix things as they arise.

Based on my experience in France, the orchestra's disbandment is not a real disbandment.

That's right!

To our future!

-Yes! Don't be sad! -Cheers!

-We must be happy! -Jiayou!

Jiayou!

Get a cloth. Go get a cloth.

[Arrivals]

Why does your expression look awful?

We haven't seen each other in so long.

If we can't get rid of animosity, you should at least smile.

Sorry.

I must be frozen at that time.

I've gotten out of it.

Why are you still frozen there by yourself?

It seems like you've been doing well. What have you been doing?

I've decided to be a pop singer.

But your dream is to perform at the Gold Hall.

Actually, all this time, I never knew what I wanted.

Until I met you; I becae too attached to you.

I confused my heart.

I always wanted to fulfill the dream you wanted for me.

-But... -You don't think pop music is real music, right?

I know. But that is the way you think.

After I returned to the country, I met a person.

He told me that one cannot just live with a goal.

We must also have a job we love

that we can use as a goal.

I want to start anew.

If this is what you want...then I wish you good luck.

You must also wish yourself good luck.

I think you understand what Sha Sha gave up for you.

Go back early. Don't forsake her sincerity.

After all, you may only encounter something that precious once.

Thank you, Cai Wei.

Thank you too.

Is there something else you wanted to say to me?

Nothing.

♫ I'm sighing day and night ♫

♫ Good thing I didn't avoid it ♫

♫ If it wasn't because of you ♫

♫ I would still be crying at the original place ♫

♫ Finally became myself ♫

♫ I will sing you the most beautiful voice ♫

♫ It was so sweet ♫

♫ Don't forget our promise ♫

- Hello. - You have good relationship with Song Ran, right?

I already arranged your first recital after going back.

It's Song Ran's recital.

You have no reason to reject and the person collaborating with Song Ran

Please cherish this opportunity and do well. That's all.

No...

I like this song so much.

I must collaborate and play this song with Li Zhenyan.

Of course you have to go and no only do you go

but perform better than before.

This helps Team RS, do you know that?

What you said seems to make sense.

It feels like I've been sold.

- Anyways, you think about it. - Okay.

- I'll go get you a drink. - I want to drink soymilk.

Okay.

Besides sending you the repertoire, there's also an encore piece.

Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor.

I understand.

It would've been great if you were here.

Say it. Do you have a way to solve this?

[Fang Xiaowo]

- Hello. - Li Zhenyan!

How did class go?

It went well even though it tough to practice everyday

but I feel like I'm stronger.

Teacher Li Yazhe said I improved a lot and even rewarded me

to go eat lobster

- but it's not as tasty as the ones you make. - Is that so?

It's not very successful over here.

What happened?

We have money, location,

but the members aren't all here.

Why? Are they not willing to come back?

I have no way. Reality is this cruel.

Everyone has their own choice and what they want to do.

What I can do is to only respect everyone.

Don't be anxious. Everyone will understand and come.

It's hard to say.

Oh right, Fang Xiaowo.

Perhaps someday you'll become a famous pianist

and I'm just a confused little conductor with no fame,

Perhaps I will follow your steps and run around the world.

It won't. Before, when I was following your steps I also had these worries

but someone told me before

In the summertime, Paris is 6 hours behind Shanghai.

but the time in Paris didn't slow down.

Each person has its own time zone.

It doesn't matter what happens to the people around you and just continue to move forward.

in your very own time zone;

everything will come in time.

Fang Xiaowo, how come you always spout nonsense

but it always gets to my heart.

Because I'm there.

When I knock it right now,

do you feel moved?

I feel like the phone is shaking.

Li Zhenyan, I miss you.

Okay, I know.

How come you're saying that you know and not that you miss me too?

There's not that much whys.

I won't take the initiative to video call you anymore.

- You're practicing everyday. Are you bored? - No.

Like last time, Teacher Li Yazhe brought me to listen to the recital.

I gained a lot. Do you know

that I really like a song right now.

I must play this song with you.

Okay. What song is it?

I can't say it. If I say it then it won't come true.

If you don't tell me what we're playing then how would I know when we'll play it?

Okay, I will tell you.

It's Schumann's Piano.

Concerto in A Minor.

Why is it this one?

Because I fell in love with it after I heard them playing it live.

Since the Mozart piano duet we played together,

This is the first time that a song made me feel touched.

Oh right. You almost successfully changed the topic.

How come you're like this? Why didn't you say you miss me too?

I'm hanging up.

I've always been missing you.

How could I write such sickening characters?

How could it be such a coincidence?

Should I make it clear and tell her?

Hello, Tian Yisong.

[Let's Rock]

This is the first time coming back after graduation.

The street outside seems like it changed

but I can't say how it changed.

It actually didn't.

It's still the same street. We are the ones that changed.

That's right. We are the ones that changed.

I always treated you as my competitor

but at the end I realized

the true competitor is myself.

Oh right. How is Team RS?

Fine. We solved the practice location and the finances.

We are recruiting new members right now

and plan to accept some events.

Within a short time, we'll be on a good path.

Don't put all your efforts on it.

Don't forget that you're a conductor.

I'm waiting to compete with you.

Didn't you just say that your competitor is yourself?

I...

Come on.

Li Zhenyan, do you still want to become Maestro Waynda's disciple?

I suddenly thought of something.

Do you know

when I was young I thought

the luckiest thing in my life is

waiting Maestro Waynda when I was young.

I then realized later on

that the luckiest thing in my life is to meet

these people.

They're the ones who have always encouraged me; and among them I include you.

because you kept wanting to compete with me

so I've kept improving.

Are you preparing to go back

and let go about the issue regarding Caiwei?

Once we miss out on each other then it won't come back.

I originally wanted to see how you're living

but perhaps you will live well without me there.

I wish you happiness,

Caiwei.

It's so late. What is it?

It's like this. That piece that you've settled on for the encore

is Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor, right?

- I want to change it. - You can't.

This song is popular

and it really suits Song Ran's style.

Moreover, Song Ran already prepared.

How can we change it just because you said it?

- It's like this because I can't一 - Li Zhenyan,

I don't care what reason it is but remember that this work.

You're not a student at the university anymore.

In this, you can't just follow your own inclinations.

What is a job? A job has requirements; leave your own personal emotions out of it.

Moreover, if the song gets changed then all the people have to practice again.

Any performance is teamwork

and not your own stage.

Okay.

Okay, I understand.

As long as you know. Prepare well.

There's a song that I really like right now.

I must play this song with you.

Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor.

Xiaowo, will you be able to understand me?

Xiaowo, you're improving much faster now

so I decided to give you a reward.

- What are we eating? - What are we eating?

Here. Once you practice and you're familiar with this song

and pass then you can go back ahead of time.

Really? This is great!

What are you doing? I miss you so much.

Practice the piano well

then you can meet me faster.

Not bad.

The 3 homeworks that you did was very good.

You can go abroad to find your boyfriend.

But, I also assigned an extra assignment.

Remember to complete it when you go back

and then film a video for me to see.

Thank you teacher.

Teacher you said before that even if they're gifted

they have to truly put in one-hundred percent of effort in order to stand on the peak.

I will certainly and carefully follow your instruction.

and work hard.

When you go abroad, keep practicing.

But when you get there, don't just temporarily work hard.

The reason why I stayed behind to learn from you

in order to have bigger improvements.

I definitely won't waste my time.

Good.

Xiaowo, you are indeed my soulmate.

Now you are leaving. What do I do?

If you miss me then come visit me.

Xiaowo. This is for you.

Thank you Jinmo.

No problem.

Right, Xiaowo.

After you go back this time, you won't come back to Paris right?

If Li Zhenyan comes back, I'll come back.

You're just a follower.

Truly, you're like gum that can't be thrown away.

If I was Li Zhenyan, I would be so annoyed just when I started to breathe.

Did you tell Li Zhenyan that you are going back?

Of course not. It won't be interesting if I did.

I'm finally leaving this place.

Do you know that Xiaowo is also going back?

Does this mean that two lovers' hearts are linked as one?

That's right. She's been working hard these past few days.

I think you were the one who worked hard.

You can teach a person who knows nothing about music theory in a short time,

And you made great progress on her piano skills.

I discovered that Xiaowo has a strong understanding and comprehension of music.

She's pretty good at it.

She works hard when she is learning.

Later, she advanced by leaps and bounds.

No matter what homework I give her,

she can complete it and even before time.

Look at how you're praising her.

Here you are.

What are you doing?

During this time, you still want to use headphones?

- No. - Are you complaining that I'm being naggy?

It's not that severe.

It won't get worse even if I listen.

I already promised to the doctor. I will just pay attention then.

Your choice. I can't say much.

Where is Elise?

She ran away because of anger.

Say, you're making people worry.

Okay.

No.

Do you want to go back with me?

Okay.

I'm going back.

Go.

- After going back, Old Fei plans一 - I know.

I've been by his side for so many years. What he wants to do

I can guess it all.

Then you have to worry about this.

He plans to go back to the school

He's giving the students at Mario Paci Conservatory of Music one last lesson.

Go to class again.

Obviously, for the tickets of the performance, we could have potentially charged tens of thousands of dollars.

Now that we calculate it, we suffered from losses.

No. You have to promise me one thing.

Okay.

I'll let you be in charge of all my recitals this year.

I wasn't going to say that.

Then what?

Once he finishes this

help me convince him to come back and do the surgery.

Even though I'm in charge of helping him earn money

but at this point,

I'm clear what is more important.

Okay, I promise you.

I can still negotiate with your recital contract.

[Arrivals]

[13:15 Beijing]

Surprise!

No one here?

Li Zhen Yan

Li Zhen Yan

No one.

Li Zhen Yan

Li Zhen Yan

And I wanted to give you a surprise.

He isn't even here.

I remember that I put it on the desk.

Come on in.

When did you use a female phone?

It looks like someone forgot our promise.

No matter what the promise is, can we meet up next time?

How could we meet up next time? Eating isn't a big deal.

Just in time, I have time today.

Auntie, this is the documents for you. I'm going to get changed so hurry and leave.

Don't be nervous. You're just changing your clothes. Come on.

Let's go out and eat after you finish changing.

No, it's not convenient.

- How old am I? - How is it not convenient?

I'm treating you to a meal. You child...

If you want to treat me then do it next time, okay?

You see, I want to have dinner with your girlfriend so much. You've always refused, your behavior is very inappropriate.

Yes, you want to eat with my girlfriend but she's not here. Next time.

Really not here?

Really not here?

That's right, she's not here. Auntie, you may leave.

I'll treat you to eat next time.

Be careful that a thief entered your house.

Okay.

Remember to eat.

Remembered.

Fang Xiaowo has become your weakness.

Surprise!

I can finally see you.

Did you miss me? I missed you so much.

I also wanted to give you a surprise.

My surprise is here. I'm super happy.

Let me see you.

Why are you skinnier?

Because I can't eat the food you made.

Are you missing my dishes?

I miss you.

♫ Gently holding your hand (My hand) ♫

♫ Be at ease (So at ease) ♫

♫ A panoramic view of pure and transparent love ♫

♫ We're like little fish in love ♫

♫ Smart and clever ♫

♫ People who love each other should be together ♫

It looks your stomach is more mature.

I'll cook for you.

After having dinner, can we kiss again? ♫ Love is like an endless cloudless and clear day ♫

Let me think about it again. ♫ We're like little fish in love ♫

♫ Happy and cherished ♫

♫ People who love each other should be together ♫

♫ To the end ♫

♫ Together... together... together ♫

♫ To the end ♫

Song Ran mentioned that she wanted to meet up with you today

to discuss the concert. What time works for you?

Today is not okay. I have something important to do.

I will meet up with her later.

You dare to refuse Song Ran's invitation at will. You are so arrogant.

You figure it out and contact her. Don't forget.

What are you doing?

During this time, I can't waste it.

I've been working hard to practice.

Although, I still can't keep up with you.

Practice is practice but don't be so tired. Let me see your hands.

Sore?

Let me massage it for you.

If I don't give it my all then how can I be on the same stage as the person that I like?

Okay, I believe in you. I'll wait for you.

That person let you come back that easily?

No.

Ravel's Jeux d'eau.

Let me see the piece.

Do you understand Ravel's,

the meaning of him composing this song?

You have to do your homework everytime you perform.

Only if you understand the meaning of why they composed it

then you can perform the song even better.

Did that person set you a time?

I don't think so.

Then did that person...

Why do you keep saying that person, that person?

Did you still not reconcile with teacher?

People will make mistakes. Give him a chance.

Once some mistakes were made then they won't be able to make it up.

Even if I forgive him for what he did before

We can't go back.

Okay. I don't care.

I will practice well.

Let's rest tonight. Starting tomorrow

I want to start a demon master practice.

Tomorrow? Won't the day after work?

- Don't be slacking. Didn't you say you would learn and work hard? - I just came back.

I just came back.

What's going on? You rented it?

Bought it. Didn't rent it.

It wasn't me. I can't afford it.

It's Gu Sheng, my auntie.

She thinks your house is a treasure land.

so she brought it for you.

So she's your landlord from now on

but she's not taking rent.

Her only request is for you to practice the piano well.

She said when you become a famous pianist someday

The house will appreciate in value.

Auntie is so nice.

I will practice piano well.

Then today.

Thank you!

I was going to say that you should rest early so tomorrow we can

go buy food and make dinner.

Go ahead. Goodnight.

I'm so happy!

Why so early? 9 o'clock is still early?

Let's go buy food.

Did you forget something?

What?

Morning.

- Go wash up. Why are you standing there for? - I'm going to go wash up.

- Xiaowo, in a few days一 - This looks tasty.

- Buy it. - What did you say is happening in a few days?

In a few days, I might be busy with conducting.

I don't have time to cook for you.

It's fine. I know that you're busy with the orchestra.

You do your work and I will practice the piano alone.

This seems a bit expensive.

This is good.

Some lemons.

Okay.

Ravel actually had a bad time as a student.

The Paris Conservatory of Music, where he attended at that time had a rule,

That all students must, during their course of studies,

Receive an academic award highly respected by the musicians at that time.

Otherwise, they would be forced to drop out of school.

But, he missed out on winning a big prize from Rome, several times.

and miss out on it. In 1903,

He was eventually advised to drop out of school, but he persisted.

He insisted on being an auditor for the class of his composition teacher, Foley.

Of course he already had a lot of songs then

Including the Jeux d'eau in 1901.

This is one of his most famous songs.

And it's a gift that he gave to his composition teacher, Foley.

He had so much pressure.

Such a talented person was almost buried.

In this Jeux d'eau in E-major,

He used a great deal of repetition and overlapping of fixed forms.

With overlapping chords of almost double tonal harmony, in addition to,

A great variety of colorful major seven chords.

Then he boldly used hazy pedals.

So this type of piano music creates,

A unique and novel feeling for the sound of the piano.

It also makes this piece hold a very important position,

In the history of modern piano.

Listen well.

In the beginning Fang Xiaowo already had an inexhaustible amount of energy and physical strength,

On top of that, her passion for music has slowly become a source of her energy.

So after practicing for so long, her music has not been affected at all,

but made improvement each time.

Seems like that person is important to her.

If it continues to go on like this, the studio won't have any source of income.

After some time, the studio might have to close.

You want to hold up Cai Wei.

Do you have that ability?

- Let's think of a way. I will think of a way. - What way could you think of?

It's was hard to have a company that hear her song and want to sign a contract with her

If I was you, I would take this opportunity

To sell the copyright of the song first.

No way. I can't sell the song.

I don't know what you are thinking about. Are you stupid?

Caiwei won't leave you because of this.

Let me tell you.

You can treat Caiwei

As the medium between you and this company.

If you keep delaying

then the person you're holding up will be Caiwei.

Let's not be anxious to recruit new members.

Let's talk it slowly. We need to find people who have the ability and matches.

Right? I know.

Eat less sweets. If you become chubby then I will dislike you.

I'm under a lot of pressure so my heart feels bitter.

Oh, drama queen,

the candies can only go to the stomach

and not to the heart.

Senior Brother let me handle such an important task of recruiting new members,

But now no one is coming.

Sometimes I think that if I was like you

Senior Brother succeeds in whatever he does.

I fail when I do anything.

Facing the situation from back then

if it was me or Li Zhenyan,

we probably won't do it as good as you.

But this group disbanded in my hands.

I know that no matter what I say I can't make you feel better.

But I still have to say some points.

First, Team RS' situation back then

no matter who was in charge, it would still disband

so right now, we don't have time to blame anyone

And no time to avoid these problems.

What we have to do is solve the problems we're facing.

So I think

you improved a lot.

Look, at the beginning

not knowing how to communicate with the conductor

and now, you can become the leader of the orchestra.

You handles so many things.

You kept growing. Everyone sees that.

Lastly what I want to say is

before Li Zhenyan was about to leave, it was already

Facing the situation of disbanding.

so don't blame yourself

because I think you're already very amazing.

Telling you all of this

helped me a lot.

Then I want to say one more thing.

What?

Let's get married.

Xiaowo, your recital last time

Didn't have a single mistake, but it wasn't outstanding.

This time, you integrated your own understanding,

and you added your own feelings. Not bad.

Because I heard what Li Zhenyan told me

About Ravel's Jeux d'eau.

I think it's not easy for him.

This time, you perfectly

completed your homework.

How is Zhenyan?

He's busy with Team RS recently.

Don't worry.

Okay. Then take care of yourself.

Tell him to rest too.

Don't worry and you have to take care of yourself too.

Bye bye.
