[Episode 16]

No, she's usually not like this.

She left half a bowl of noodles.

She left that much?

Okay, I got it.

Senior, Senior!

My dad just called and said Fang Xiaowo is acting a little strange.

He said she left half a bowl of noodles.

- Is there something wrong with her?
- There's nothing wrong.

Are you worried about her?

Actually, no.

Senior, you forgot to zip up your bag!

I knew it! How could you have a bad appetite?

Eat more! It's very delicious. Have some more.

- What's wrong?
- Well,

- you've taken classes from Professor Zhang before, haven't you?
- Yes, I have.

- Are you close to him?
- We're okay.

Yesterday, Professor Hu assigned me to take classes with Professor Zhang.

I'm a bit scared of Professor Zhang.

Can you help me ask him to send me back to Professor Hu?

Is that why you gave me so many things?

It turns out you just want to bribe me.

How about this! I ate half a bag of wafer biscuits, right?

I'll be more generous! Let's say I ate two meals from you.

Have you counted how many meals you've eaten from me?

Y-You didn't ask me to help you.

- I have. I need you to help me.
- I beg of you, please, just help me!

Please, I beg of you to help me!

- How do I help you?
- Help me persuade Professor Zhang.

- I don't know how to.
- Why not?

Let me tell you this! I am a student who escaped from the evil Professor Zhang.

I know his temperament well.

He needs a student who can grow with him so you are the best choice.

What?

Listen to me! If you're able to handle being Fei She'er's student,

Professor Zhang will be no problem. How do you know if you don't try?

How can you say this after eating my food?

Then you're not allowed to come to my place to eat anymore.

Okay, I'll give all of them to you, all of them!

Eat, eat, eat them!

We should share nice things with everyone so we can eat them together.

Look! You ate it, you ate it! Get to class, get to class!

I'll spit it out.

I spit it out.

[Music Hall]

That Fang Xiaowo whom I'm teaching is already stupid enough.

You're even more stupid than her!

Haven't we agreed then?

The school report will be submitted next week, next week.

What's the situation now? Do I have to submit it whenever you say so?

I need to have time.

Xiaowo, look at your two hands! Have them standing up.

I said they need to be arched!

I asked you to practice at home, don't you know?

It's been such a long time and you still can't play even one piece of music well.

How are you so stupid?

Are you an idiot?

Aren't you looking at the musical score?

Professor Zhang's teaching style is a bit extreme

but I really have no other way

to tap into and uncover her full potential.

Aren't you worried any tiny bit that she'll lose her motivation to practice?

That's a personal barrier in her own heart.

Once she overcomes this barrier, she will grow.

Come in!

Professor Zhang.

- What's the matter?
- I came here to talk to you about Fang Xiaowo.

I also want to talk about Fang Xiaowo with you.

- I'll go first.
- Forget it! I'll go first.

Zhenyan, I don't care about what kind of relationship you have with Fang Xiaowo.

I hope you can help me persuade her to quickly come back to class.

Additionally, she is an exceptionally talented student. I don't want her to waste time.

Professor Zhang, I can understand everything you're saying.

But if you want Fang Xiaowo to come back to class,

you'll need to change your teaching style.

- I'm asking for your suggestion.
- Please don't keep a straight face when you're dealing with Fang Xiaowo.

- Do I do that?
- It's not that Fang Xiaowo doesn't like piano.

She just doesn't know what she wants.

Before she finds out the possibilities for herself,

we must use our entire strength to protect her if that's what you want.

First, let's not talk about whether my teaching style is right or wrong.

What you've said is reasonable.

Can you take that as you are willing to help me

and help Fang Xiaowo?

I mainly do this to help Fang Xiaowo.

- What's wrong?
- I'm feeling a bit under the weather.

Have some breakfast!

Do you have a cold? Let's check your temperature.

No, don't touch me! I'm afraid I'll pass it onto you.

I'll go and get some medicine for you.

Fang Xiaowo!

I can see that you're in good condition.

I even hurried to get you the medicine.

Finish your meal quickly and get to class.

I'm not going.

Come! In front of me,

take this medicine.

Take it!

Take the medicine!

I know you're not going to classes because you don't like Professor Zhang's teaching style.

I already told him.

If he uses the same attitude as last time you were in his class,

call me immediately and I'll pick you up.

Will that work?

Change your clothes!

[Mario Paci Conservatory of Music]

It's so cute.

They are so cute.

It's so cute.

There're so many!

And here's your favorite pan-fried bun.

Fang Xiaowo, don't run! I was wrong, okay?

Next time, I won't be so aggressive.

Fang Xiaowo?

Then let's make three rules.

A contract for piano class.

Professor Zhang Shange and Student Fang Xiaowo.

During class time, we agree on the following terms:

First, no hitting is allowed.

Second, no scolding is allowed.

Third, we'll complete

"PiPi Song" together.

What?

That's for me to teach the kids when I become a kindergarten teacher.

You just said that you'll promise me anything.

If you don't practice with me, I'll go to Professor Hu's classes.

Bring me a pen.

Okay, let's write the "PiPi song" together!

Let's have a good collaboration.

♫ Which day is it today? Where are we going? ♫

♪ Which place still has chocolate? ♪

♪ Feeding chocolate into a big belly♪

♪ No more mischief for that belly ♪

♪ Du, du, du, du ♪

♪ I really like you ♪

♪ Sweet chocolate, I like you ♪

♪ You energize us ♪

Ways to handle Fang Xiaowo:

First, little figurines. Second, pan-fried bun. Third, let her be free.

What's going on?

Li Zhenyan's methods.

Little figurines. Pan-fried bun.

and let her be free?

That's right.

Explain what it means.

It's like this, Professor Zhang.

You can't use the same attitude that you use to treat other students

to Fang Xiaowo.

Fang Xiaowo does not have the ambition to improve.

It's really easy to get her to stay and play the piano.

Little figurines and pan-fried buns can do this.

Regarding this matter, I think

it's a bit ridiculous.

Come back!

What I mean is,

look! let's not talk about the figurines.

Now, as for the issue of the pan-fried buns.

To buy these pan-fried buns,

they're at least five kilometers from our school.

Can we change it to

the one at the front of the school

"Suzhou Soup Dumplings?"

Pan-fried bun is just a general term, something like that will work.

I don't think it'll be a problem.

If you want Fang Xiaowo to really enjoy playing the piano,

you have to first let her free and play whatever she wants.

Then why does she come to the class?

Bit by bit! Let's not run before we can walk.

Professor Zhang, I know you're a good teacher and you're very strict.

However, you need to let loose once in a while.

What? Let loose?

Having fun!

She's smiling so happily so it seems like the problem has been solved.

[Music Hall]

You are saying, to form a new orchestra?

That's right. Because I'm going to study abroad next year,

so I will attend some competitions this year.

Later, I think...

I think forming an orchestra is the best way for performers to improve their abilities.

That's what I think.

Then why aren't you thinking about collaborating with Tian Yisong?

He's about to go abroad.

That's right! He deserves better development.

Even if he doesn't go abroad, I would still look for you first

because I think your conducting style and your idea of music

makes me appreciate more.

Initially, I wasn't interested in a student orchestra at first.

It's also the same for Team A.

However, after Master Fei's arrival, it made me feel that

the collaboration and sparks between the two teams

was inspiring.

The short collaboration with you was also quite exciting.

Therefore, let's form an orchestra.

No problem!

However, there's just one thing that I'm worried about.

It's the new musicians for the orchestra.

You don't need to worry about this, because earlier I spoke with the musicians from Team A

and other excellent musicians from other universities.

They have a lot of interest in starting a student orchestra.

Moreover, if you know anyone that is worthy to recommend, you can bring them over.

After all, you're the superstar.

If that's the case, then it does sound interesting.

It's confirmed then. You're the orchestra's conductor,

Li Zhenyan.

- Let's have a good collaboration.
- No.

Wait a second!

How can you easily form a new orchestra like that?

That's right! We formed one.

But in the new orchestra, if it has you and her,

then I want to join you guys, too.

You can join us.

Then we'll wait for you to pass Team A's test.

Really?

Yes.

[Let's Rock Gathering Place]

I can't go to Paris with you.

I decided to go to Lyon.

Lyon? Why did you decide to go there?

Didn't we say that we would go to Paris?

Didn't you also find a job to be an assistant conductor in Paris?

That's right. I am going to be an assistant conductor,

and I also really want to have Maestro Waynda as my teacher.

However, all of this isn't in Paris but in Lyon.

Caiwei, the distance between Paris and Lyon isn't that far.

I'll go over there to accompany you when I have time.

We won't be separated for too long.

Do you know that these days,

every time I sit down, all I think about

is how we'll live our lives in the future?

But right now,

you made all of these disappear.

Sorry!

Jiang Caiwei.

Hello, I'm Yan Yan.

Is something the matter?

Did you leave your passport at the bar?

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I'll get going then.

[Mario Paci Conservatory of Music]

First, let's welcome everyone's return.

I didn't expect that we would practice in our old spots.

We have no choice! Team A is our school's signature orchestra.

It was already an exception for Director Meng to give us this practice classroom.

It doesn't matter where we practice.

Qing Shang, please introduce everyone.

Okay. I won't have to introduce myself. My name is Qing Shang.

Mainly, I want to introduce our two new members.

- The first member is our clarinetist, Mu Zhiren. Everybody welcome him to the orchestra.
- Welcome.

Hello everyone! I'm Mu Zhiren from the Music University, looking forward to working with everyone.

And the other member is our flutist, An Zhen.

- Hello, An Zhen. Please take care of me.
- Welcome.

And next is our cellists, Lan Bo and Chen Zheng.

I won't introduce them since you all know them well.

Let our conductor, Li Zhenyan, say a few words.

I've watched your show "Listening to Classical." It's really awesome.

- Thank you.
- I did, too! Can you give me your autograph later?

- That's embarrassing.
- Just an autograph.

Okay, I'll sign.

Let me simply say a few words.

First, thank you for trusting Qing Shan and I and joining Team S.

Because the history of our orchestra is quite special.

At the very beginning, Master Fei selected a group of people to establish such an orchestra.

But after graduation, many members left since they have their own things to do,

so we're recruiting new members this time.

But fortunately, the spirit of Team S is still here.

Our Team S is special because we have never been rigid

we have never been rigid and practice strictly.

Actually, what we pay more attention to

is discovering each person's talent and blending them together.

Even though I'm the conductor of this orchestra,

I'm not the core of this orchestra.

It's because the core is all of you.

I believe, from beginning to the end, we have to work with one heart and fully express it,

then we can perform a wonderful and touching song.

Even though we don't have a good practice room,

even though we don't have the world's best instruments,

I believe that all of you are the best.

So I'm announcing that our new Team S

- is officially formed today.
- Great!

Good luck, everyone!

Let's confirm our first performance.

We have to confirm the song, place, and time.

After all, it's our first performance.

- I think it should be more formal and extravagant.
- Formal?

How formal? How about Shanghai Music Theatre?

I think Shanghai Symphony Hall is pretty good, too.

Shanghai Oriental Art Center.

That won't do! We don't have enough money.

That's right! What Chen Zheng said is right.

Money is an issue right now.

Another reason is that we're a new orchestra,

we don't have enough experience or reputation.

They probably won't rent out the big venues to us.

However, we are also a symphony orchestra, we need a proper stage.

- We can't be so casual and get whatever.
- Right.

You actually don't have to worry too much.

I somewhat have a direction.

Because we graduated from formal institutions,

some are still in school,

I think our performance

- could be on campus.
- On campus?

That's right. On the one hand, we can remember

why we started to learn about music when we attended university.

The most important point is to encourage our juniors

to best use their time to enjoy music with us.

- I agree with this.
- Me, too.

Now our biggest problem is left.

- What ideas do you have for our song?
- Our song?

What about Schumann's Symphony No. 1, the Spring Symphony?

It's romantic and gentle. It's great!

I don't think so. I think Beethoven is better

or Mozart.

- Bach is also good.
- I think we should play something more unique.

- Unique?
- Unique?

What's unique?

Are nursery rhymes unique enough?

A girl should talk less.

What I mean by unique is something full of youth and passion.

Wait a second!

"Youth" could be a good theme, couldn't it?

I always think this theme is great

but I don't know what song to choose.

Swan Lake? Carmen? Also,

Symphonie Fantastique? These all work!

Okay, I think we still have time for the theme.

- How about this? We'll let you choose the song.
- Okay.

It's best if you can pick the song within three days.

Location, time, and song are pretty much settled.

- We made quick progress.
- It was quick.

- We are here!
- There are also us!

What are you talking about? Let us join.

Senior, didn't you say if we pass Team A's test,

we can join? You can't go back on your word.

Okay, no problem.

I brought snacks for everyone. Share them!

Let go.

- This is for you.
- You are favoring someone.

I also got it for you all. Get the yogurt yourself.

- Here.
- Thank you.

Give me some chips.

Thank you.

[Music Hall]

That is... I want to ask you

it's just that...

What's a more effective way to practice legato?

Just practice!

No, there are some techniques for playing legato.

First, your bow has to catch the string for friction.

After that, there's fast legato and slow legato.

For slow legato, you must use the power of your wrist.

It's more relaxed like this.

As for fast legato, you need to

tighten up the muscles in your arm and shoulder.

Like a spasm, it's fast.

Also, there's a technique for the bow movement.

When you bow upwards, the tip of the bow should be pointing in.

It should be going more and more inward. When you bow downwards,

It's more like chopping meat for dumplings.

Do you understand what I said?

So what kind of dumplings do you want to eat? At noon?

I-I...

How come all these people are so talented?

They're able to play such a hard song so well.

Yes, Mu Zhiren,

An Zhen, my cousin, and Lan Bo.

They all have won many competitions.

They're professional.

I should also be very focused.

This time, our team this time is completely different from our Team S before.

I can also catch up, all right?

In any case, I am also the principal second violin.

Your skills

are lacking compared to my cousin's.

- Say it!
- Senior, can we change the song?

This song doesn't sound good. Let's casually change it to another, like the one that I've practiced well.

So I can surprise Qing Shang, okay?

This isn't important.

Do you know what's important now?

We have to think of a new name for the orchestra.

Also, even if we change ten songs,

you'll still be looked down by Qing Shang and defeated by her in a second.

Not that.

Brahms' Symphony No. 4 in E minor,

out of the four symphonies that Brahms wrote,

this is the greatest, the saddest,

and the most elegant.

Actually, among all of the pieces that Brahms wrote,

sadness is visible everywhere.

But in this one,

sadness becomes the dominant emotion.

It permeates every component of this piece.

I've been here for a while.

I saw that you were so focused so I didn't want to disturb you.

- How did you know that I was here?
- There are only a few classrooms in the conducting department.

Oh right, how come I haven't seen you with Caiwei recently?

- Did you two have a fight?
- No.

Okay. I came here to tell you I've booked the tickets to Lyon.

Okay, thank you.

- Can you promise me something?
- What is it?

If you...

if you have time, there's a restaurant that I really want to go to.

- Can you go with me?
- Okay.

It's fitting for me to thank you for doing so much for me.

Yisong, I heard of this restaurant for a long time.

I've always wanted to come.

- Thank you for keeping me company today.
- I should be the one thanking you.

It was you who was busy making arrangements for me.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Take a look to see what you want to eat.

I've waited in line for several weeks.

Today, at last, I can get in.

That's right! I was able to come today, thanks to you.

- Thank you.
- Once you're ready, just call for me.

Okay.

Do you know why this restaurant is so popular?

- I don't know.
- Look over there.

The Bund is outside.

It really is.

Yisong?

Wait for a second! I'll go and greet him.

Okay.

Yisong? Why are you here?

Caiwei? Why are you also here?

I came to eat with my friend.

Hi.

Yisong, who did you come with?

Do I know them? Why don't I greet them later?

N-No need!

She's just my friend.

Caiwei?

Why are you here?

You also invited Caiwei?

Caiwei, Caiwei, Caiwei!

Let me explain! It's really not what you think.

I admit the opportunity of going to Lyon and becoming an assistant conductor

was offered to me by Shasha's father.

I didn't tell you because I knew that you would overreact.

But there's really nothing between me and Shasha.

I know you're mad but at least, talk to me.

I'm not mad.

I'm disappointed.

- Sorry.
- What's the point of apologizing?

Tell me if you'll go to Lyon with her.

[Mario Paci Conservatory of Music]

I'm so tired.

We have to attend the competition and also practice here.

I almost didn't want to come today.

It's Li Zhenyan that was able to make everyone stay behind after all.

I think the competition is more important.

If we can't get a good place in the competition, it will affect our future.

By the way, First Violin, don't you have an international violin competition soon?

How is it going with the preparation?

Let's put this aside for now. I want to ask you all something.

Our orchestra is lacking an excellent principal oboist. Do you all have any suggestions?

What about Ji Mo? His work with Team A last time

and his collaboration with Master Fei were quite nice.

It would've been great if he could come.

- He's indeed not bad.
- I don't think he'll come.

- Why not?
- He doesn't like student orchestras.

- He even rejected Team A.
- Good morning.

- Conductor Li.
- Good morning.

What are you all talking about?

We're talking about the member issue of our team.

Because we're still lacking an excellent principal oboist. Do you have any suggestions?

I haven't thought of it recently. What about you? Who do you think will be suitable?

Everyone was thinking that Ji Mo would be the most suitable.

Are there any others?

- Why should there be others?
- That's right.

Is it because that we're not close with Ji Mo?

It's fine! I can take care of the oboe problem.

We'll leave it to you then.

- Are you preparing for the competition?
- Yes, I'm picking a song.

I've been busy with the competition and I have to go abroad for the interview.

- Why did you come?
- I came to give you these.

I asked Yi Lisi to find the recruitment information for big-name orchestras in Europe.

I hope they'll help you.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome!

Did you come just because of this?

There's actually another reason.

I want to ask you if you're willing to join our orchestra.

Are you inviting me?

Yes, because you're

the most suitable candidate I could think of for our principal oboist.

I always thought

that you didn't like seeing me.

Indeed! I don't like you getting close with that brat

but I have to admit that you're an amazing musician.

Thank you.

Another reason is that I'm confident in that brat.

That brat?

- Whom are they talking about?
- No matter what,

I think thatyou're the only one who is qualified to be the principal oboist.

Therefore, I hope you can join

and help us form a real professional orchestra.

Ji Mo?

Recently, I might be busy with exams and competitions.

I might not be able to help you.

It's fine! I can understand.

But what I want to say is, please consider it carefully.

Thank you.

If I have time, I'll come.

I'll wait for your good news.

By the way, Li Zhenyan,

you like orchestras and classical music so much,

why don't you go to Europe and study?

It's because I can't go.

Why not? Is there a special reason?

[Reading changes life]

- Can I ask you a question?
- Say it!

Why can't you go to Europe?

Do you know what song this is?

Brahms' Symphony No. 4 in E minor.

Its first two movements were finished in 1884.

- But the last two movements were written in 1885—
- I'm asking you, why aren't you going to Europe?

How did you know?

Did you eavesdrop?

Could it be that you're scared of heights and can't ride an airplane?

Or could it be that you have a criminal record in Europe?

Can you stop with your wild imagination? It has nothing to do with those.

- Then why aren't you going to Europe?
- Then why are you resisting Professor Zhang so much?

Xiaowo, everyone has a past that they don't want to mention.

Why don't we treat it like a secret and keep it in our hearts?

[Little Curtain]

This is Qin Feng's family noodle shop.

Even though it's a small place, the food tastes really good.

This place matches Qin Fen's musical style very much, it's very down-to-earth.

- My dad gave these to you.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

- The noodles are coming soon.
- Okay.

Then what did you want to say to me?

Well, it's like this, we are going to take part in an instrument competition soon,

but we still have a lot of practice to do.

We want to...

We want to put the orchestra aside for a bit.

Can you discuss this with the conductor?

What do you mean by 'putting it aside'?

It just that we want to hold off on practices for the next two months.
