[Episode 9]

- Thank you. - No problem.

You are such a nice person.

So, do you play oboe really well?

I'm not bad at it.

Since you're that talented,

you must play in an orchestra, right?

What about you?

I am also in an orchestra.

But because I'm in the piano department,

I am the orchestra's lucky charm.

Lucky charm? What a unique role.

You must think it's really strange, right?

Actually, I really want to join the orchestra.

I see how busy they are every day,

working hard to prepare for the competition.

Also the team uniform,

but I can't help with anything. I always see Li Zhenyan practicing in there every day.

I am really envious, but I can't do anything about it.

I shouldn't be thinking like that, right?

Is Li Zhenyan your boyfriend?

How did you come up with such a strange observation?

He should be. He's a really good conductor,

and he's amazing at the piano.

Do you know him?

I think I sort of recognize him.

Then are you—

If you aren't in Team S, you must be in Team A, right?

Then, we are enemies. The competition is coming up soon.

I thought that we were friends already.

Okay, since you listened to me speak so much nonsense,

I won't treat you as my enemy.

Oh, right. Don't tell anyone what we said today.

It's a secret.

Okay, this is our secret.

Ji Mo, you did well today.

Keep it up.

- Bye-bye. - I'm leaving.

- Thank you. - We've finished. I'll see you at the entrance.

Wood. Why does it seem like you're a different person today?

Are you in love?

Perhaps.

Hurry, tell me. That fast?

What grade and department is she in?

- Your phone is ringing. - I—

Tell me if there's good news!

Hello, Zhuo Yin. I'm here. I'm at the entrance.

Li Zhenyan, this is the night snack I made.

Hey, Li Zhenyan!

The night snacks I made are really good-

If you keep ignoring me, I'm going to play the piano!

I'm really going to play!

Play louder!

Kettledrums, enter.

Bassoon, hold that a little longer.

Softly.

Violin.

It's so early in the morning, I guess I should still drink my organic soy milk.

The conductor is here! The conductor is here!

Good morning, everyone.

Conductor, we already practiced by section.

Also, we are already very familiar with this piece.

I also practiced according to the sheet music many times.

I won't make any mistakes this time.

I guarantee that my vibrato will be flawless.

In addition, our instruments are all in good condition.

You definitely won't be disappointed again.

Okay! Then let's start from the beginning.

Very good. They're cooperating well.

Looks like everyone has worked hard to practice these days.

The cello and French horn are performing extremely well today.

They're doing as I directed. They're following the music score.

Hm... something's wrong.

Why is it off again?

How can that be?

Why are they all staring at the sheet music?

Why is no one looking at the conductor?

[Beethoven—Symphony No. 3]

Everyone, let's take a 10 minute break.

Zhenyan.

Can you get me a bottle of water?

Can you get me a bottle of water?

Help me open it.

Are you that thirsty?

The fried rice that you made last night was very salty.

You ate it?

Okay, let's start.

Let's start from the same place

and remember to look at my hands instead of the piano sheets.

Okay.

W- Wait, but if we don't look at the sheets,

won't we play the wrong note?

That's right. It wasn't easy for us to remember it.

Don't worry. Let's try and listen to my pointers.

Let's begin.

Master what's wrong?

What happened?!

Master is it because we played that badly that we caused you to faint?

No, there wasn't a big problem.

Should we call 120? (TN: ambulance)

I'm fine.

Did you eat something bad?

Can you stand up?

D- Don't touch!

He's alive! He's alive.

What do you mean alive? He's awake.

He's awake! He's awake!

You are too loud. Why are you crowding around me?

The doctor said you got food poisoning. What did you eat?

- Did Team A put poison in your food? - No way!

What are you saying? Good thing it's not serious.

The doctor said you can be discharged tomorrow.

What do you mean not serious? Our competition is tomorrow.

We still haven't finished preparing!

What happens if we lose? Will we have to disband?

Wait a moment, I promised you guys so I won't be a nuisance to the competition.

Rest well. We will go back and continue practicing.

Okay. I will be assured now.

Oh, right. Where is she?

- Who? - Who?

What are you doing at the door?

Okay. If there's nothing else, you all can go back first.

I'm fine.

Rest well!

Bye bye.

What are you doing there?

Come in.

What is the matter?

I'm sorry.

It must be... the fried rice that I made

that made you get food poisoning.

It's fine.

Actually... the one who should be sorry is me.

I didn't consider your feelings.

The issue with the Orchestra S team uniforms...

I think you

won't have any chance to be on the same stage and perform with everyone.

Everyone is so busy.

I am the only one who can't help.

Come here.

Come here.

Stop...Go away.

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

I need your help to get up.

Why are you trying to get up?

To go back. The competition is tomorrow.

How can you come out when you aren't better yet?

It's fine. I can walk fine.

Fine?

What are you doing?

Good night.

Are you afraid of the dark? Do you want me to stay—

I'm not afraid.

Don't stare at me. Go sleep.

How can you tell I'm staring at you if you don't look at me?

If I don't look at you, I still know that you're staring at me.

If you don't go to sleep soon, then go back upstairs.

I changed my position so I can't see you.

Turn back over here. I really can't see!

Are you going to sleep? What kind of strange things are you thinking about in that brain of yours?

I'm not thinking about any strange things.

What kind of strange things are you talking about?

Tell me.

What are you doing?

Are you unable to go to sleep? I can play the piano for you.

I don't want to listen to it!

When did you learn this?

I didn't learn it. I heard them practicing

so I memorized it after I heard it.

This piece is really fun. Listen to this part.

It sounds like electricity!

You will run here and there.

You are just messing around.

It's like they're dancing on dark clouds.

She's actually accurately grasped the essence of this music.

Even though she plays it in an easy-going manner,

but it sounds really

Really good. Just like that time.

Her performance isn't what others are used to from that melody.

Instead, it's her own courage.

How can this be? It's just her own casual arrangement and adaptation.

It sounds so good.

So, each of them is a Fang Xiaowo. That's the reason that Master chose them to come together to form a 'special orchestra'.

I know. I know what to do for the competition.

What? You want to change the piece?

Yes.

Forget all the nonsense that I said before.

But— Tomorrow is the competition.

Yes.

So we have to practice a new one this whole day.

But we've already practiced very well.

If we change it now, will it be memorized on time?

That's right!

I'm sorry.

I didn't make this decision to play around,

but it's because... I don't think that there is a need to

play the piece 100% how it is written.

I feel like playing how Qin Fen had suggested

isn't a bad idea. - What?

That's right! Didn't I tell you that earlier?

Besides, when we play like that, doesn't that bring excitement to the whole auditorium? Isn't that right?

Even though it is risky,

I still think this method's strength and vitality

might be the specialty of Team S. Let's try it out.

Okay, let's start over.

Remember the speed for this time is a bit faster.

[Mario Paci Conservatory of Music]

These are the student orchestras that Master Fisher organized, isn't that right?

Yes.

Team A and Team S have both gotten recognition from Master Fei.

But let me remind you:

Orchestra A is made of our elite students. You should pay close attention to them.

Then Team S was picked by Master Fei

and were specifically chosen, right?

Yes, but...

their grades aren't like Team A, but now it is a lot higher.

However, I am still curious about Team S.

Think about it. Master Fei personally looked after and guided it.

Then it should be different from everyone else.

I want you to monitor Team A!

Editor Bei.

Master Fei and Principal Lin are right ahead.

No need, I already greeted them before. Let's watch the performance.

Is this the spot?

Yes. Sit.

Lan Bo, why are you here?

Are you anxious too?

I'm so anxious.

I am also anxious and afraid that I will lose to your team.

Really?

Yes.

I'm not scared of anyone on your team.

I'm really afraid of one person.

Who?

You.

Me?

Why are you afraid of me? I play so terribly.

Because I'm scared of my wife.

I won't let you say nonsense.

How do you feel now? Less nervous?

I'm okay.

From what I see, your practicing is very good.

There shouldn't be anything to be nervous about.

[Special]

That's correct. Hurry up!

Don't tell me you are wearing that?

Don't tell me you guys are wearing that?

I really can't believe that you've become a conductor that I'll be competing with.

I have thought about it, but I didn't think it would be that soon.

Either way, that isn't important, the person who will win in the end is me.

The competition isn't between Team A or Team S,

but between me and you.

Really? I think it is different.

You think too highly of yourself.

Or are you that confident in them?

I just want to perform this performance nicely.

Okay. Either way, the person who will win is me.

You can enjoy the stage.

You too.

I'm doomed.

It's over. It's over. It's over.

Why do I feel like I can't remember anything?

We haven't even started, and I heard the audience clapping for Team A.

Team A must have done very well, we are bound to lose.

Oh no. Can it be before...?

But now it's too late. What should I do?

Did something happen to the sheet music? The performance is about to begin.

Encountering such a knotty problem...

What will you do?

Old Zhang, which orchestra do you think will win today?

An obvious question.

Regarding Li Zhenyan's performance,

are you not curious?

Teacher Hu, in this lifetime,

the two things that you have failed in...

One, is not being calm.

Two, is being too rash.

- If you say that again... - Shhh.

Don't be worry! Don't be worry!

In psychology, there's a saying about inspiring the subconscious.

If you say this phrase into a mirror, "you're great",

- after a little while.... - After a little while, it will turn into a great mirror.

That's right.

Calm down.

Everyone, relax. Take a deep breath and don't worry.

That's right. Just like that.

I am still very nervous.

Why are you looking at me weirdly?

I am here to tell everyone, not to worry.

Later on, winning or losing is not important.

Even if we don't have a perfect performance,

even if our performance isn't the traditional interpretation of Beethoven. So what?

We only have to follow our hearts and let everyone hear our music. That's enough.

Fang Xiaowo, this is for you.

This is for me?!

I'll tell you. This is what Li Zhenyan especially asked the store to make for you.

I want to tell you our orchestra can't go on without our lucky charm.

So later on, remember to wear this shirt off stage and experience our music.

-Because in here, you have also put in work. -Okay!

Let's think of it as everyone performing.

Are you guys ready?

We are ready.

Are you ready?

We are ready!!

They are done performing.

Analyzing that applause,

It seems like they have done pretty well.

Really?

I think we should go back over the score.

It's okay. You don't need to worry. Just go over it in your head and that's good enough.

- Sit down for a bit. -Oh my god. What should I do?

-What's wrong? -This is not my sheet music.

What?

Not your sheet music?

Isn't this Team A's sheet music?

I don't have it! What should I do? Where is my sheet music?

-Think carefully. -There's no more time.

-It's not here. - It's not here either.

If you bring this sheet music over there, then it's not fair for Team A.

It's not fair? What do you mean?

Let me ask you when you were on stage,

did you complete the performance under the circumstance of having the wrong sheet music?

You can say that. But Team S hasn't gone through this kind of training.

If I don't give it to them, then it's not fair to them.

This is a competition.

Since both teams went through the same problem.

Then they should bring out their own solutions.

So... This sheet music

can only be left here.

If Team S loses, do you really plan on disbanding them?

If Team A loses,

can you bare it if I disband them?

Team A's performance for their age is considered perfect.

Team S will have a hard time passing that.

Facing such a danger and not losing composure means that

demonstrates their professional training. That is indeed awesome.

Are you willing to give up on Team S?

Or in other words, are you willing to give up on Li Zhenyan?

What are you talking about?

Don't think I don't know.

The reason why you came here is because of Li Zhenyan.

What do you know?

I am the principle here.

You sure are great.

What do you know?

Let me tell you, you can play around.

But don't forget why I asked you to come back.

This is such a big issue, how can I play around?

Don't worry.

Are this orchestra really put together with weak students?

That Qin Fen...didn't he fail his professional class?

- Yes. - How come he's playing so well?

Also, the conductor, isn't he a pianist?

-That's right. -How is he such a good conductor?

He is amazing.

Director, who is that student conductor?

What is his name?

He isn't part of the conducting department, he is part of the piano department.

His name is Li Zhenyan.

Doing it this way won't give us high marks.

But I don't regret it!

Today's competition was wonderful.

Whether it is Team A or Team S,

both performances were outstanding. Worthy of being called outstanding students in our Conservatory of Music.

Since it is a competition, there must be a winner and a loser.

I won't say who the winner is,

after the competition, the losing team

will disband. Now let's have Master Fei

announce the competition results.

Bravo!

Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo!

Indeed, the competition today was wonderful.

Orchestra A represents the quality of students at our Mario Paci Conservatory of Music.

Team S...

Team S

Orchestra S lit up the torch of the spirit of each of us in the audience.

Thank you guys for bringing such an amazing performance.

Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you!

-Thank you! -Master Fei

- Your final judgment. - Right.

From the selection of the repertoire to the technical aspect of the presentation,

I have to give my vote to

Team S!

But...

Team S and Team A both had the problem of missing sheet music.

Team S has made a small mistake.

But Team A had dealt with it very professionally.

Of course, a competition isn't the same as a normal performance.

The competition will have a winner and a loser.

Then the winner for today...
