[Episode 12]
[Once again, back to zero!]

Contemporary ballet
relies on realization.

You have to feel it for yourselves.

I'll start with a demonstration.

Please look carefully.

The first move is to get on your knees.

The second one, lie down.

The third, kneeling up.
The fourth, quick rise.

Is there anyone who doesn't understand
and needs to ask a question?

Okay, you've got 20 minutes to practice.

Dismiss.

It doesn't conform to gravity.

How did she do it?

Just try to do it.

Stop.

Shi Xiaochun,

do you think you're a piece of meatloaf

and you just threw yourself
on the ground like that?

You're going to get hurt
if you keep doing that.

Gather round.

It seems that some students
still can't get the hang of it.

Now I'm going to go over
the details again, so listen up.

In the past, you used to

rely on your muscles
to drive your movements.

But contemporary ballet
relies on breathing.

You have to use your breath
to drive your movements.

For example, Shi Xiaochun

was holding her breath the whole time

and only used brute force.

She was wrong from the beginning.

That's called fall and rise.

It's a basic movement
in contemporary ballet.

If you can master this movement,

it means

you've mastered the principle
of using the breath

to drive the movement.

Today,

all of you have to master

this move.

Got it?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Manman.

Ling Chen,

are you two falling into love?

Yes.

Do you really like her?

I got it.

Ling Chen,

why are you standing outside?

I'm here to see the little fool.

You've been practicing
such a simple move for so long,

but you can't get it right.

Hard work makes up for clumsiness.

I'll try to make it.

I'll be with you.

(Do you really like her?)

(Yes.)

What's wrong?

Are you in a bad mood?

Are you running laps to let off steam?

Stop.

Don't move.

Why are you trying to act tough?

Don't you know you can't do
any strenuous exercise

with your foot injury?

Don't move.

You get hurt every day.

Do you know what's
the most important thing for a dancer?

It's the feet.

You don't want them anymore?

Don't move.

I'm sorry.

I was too anxious.

Come on. I'll take you to rest.

Bear with me.

Alright.

Alright.

Done.

Come on.

Stand up and walk around to see
if you've broken any bones.

Touch wood.

Come on, I'll carry you
straight to the infirmary.

How dare you trick me?

Alright.

I'm going to give you a piece of advice
from the bottom of my heart.

Would you like to hear it?

You look better when you smile.

I'm fine now.

Really?

Be careful in the future.

Don't let yourself get hurt
all the time.

Thank you, Xiao Bu.

Well, it's a trifle.

As long as you're happy.

Take it.

What are you doing?

Open your eyes if you're sleeping.

We're having a class here.

Alright, guys.

I just want to make one point.

"The Rite of Spring" is long and boring.

I know all about it.

But we need to study more,
watch more and think more.

I'll do a focused analysis

in the next class.

Anyone who slept today
must come forward and speak.

Especially you, Xiao Bu.

Alright, that's it for today.

Dismiss.

- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you, sir.

Goodbye, sir.

What's wrong?

You looked so gloomy in class today.

I've recently taken contemporary ballet,

but I'm feeling really bad
about everything.

I knew you'd have a hard time
with this class.

Think about it. Before this,

you practiced harder and more diligently

than anyone else

to master classical ballet.

But contemporary ballet

is the exact opposite.

It's like overturning everything
and starting all over again.

Of course it's difficult.

The two styles of dance
are the opposite of each other.

Don't take it to heart.

That's why I can't get a feel for it.

You little fool.

Come on.

What are you doing?

Get up.

Contemporary ballet

mainly emphasizes realization.

So you can feel

what it's like to connect
to the earth with your body

and then slowly release your emotions
through your body

with your mind.

Do it like me.

Good.

That's a good one.

That's exactly what I want.

Now I know what you're going to dance.

Go ahead.

Go on.

Alright.

Come on.

One, two, three, go.

Mr. Huang.

I have a plan.

What's wrong? What's the hurry?

I still want to talk to you
about the repertory.

Mr. Lin,

let's practice "The Rite of Spring" now.

We'll talk about it later
if there are any good ideas.

No, Mr. Huang.

Please listen to me.

I didn't have a specific idea

of what I wanted to do
when I talked to you last time.

But then, I happened to
see the students performing

and I suddenly had an idea.

Look, we can't just fix a performance

and train them to follow the template,

but we can give them a theme

and let them be bold and free
to create something.

This year, for example,

we could set a theme of

"What's the Point of Dancing?".

That way, the students
can dance to their own piece,

rather than a classic
like "The Rite of Spring".

It's more infectious, isn't it?

I understand what you're saying.

No one's done it before you.

But I can't just hand over
my course time

to you guys to do experiments.

Mr. Huang, how about this?

We'll go back and shoot some clips

for a small presentation.

If you think it's good,

we'll move on.

That's one way to go.

Is that a yes?

You have only one month.

If it doesn't work,

you'll have to go back to practicing
"The Rite of Spring" right away.

If we lose time because of this,

I'll have to think about
changing the teacher

in charge of this practice.

Alright, no problem.

Mr. Huang, I'll leave now.

Alright.

Come on, guys.

Gather around.

Quick.

Alright, guys.

I have good news and bad news.

Which one do you want to hear first?

Good news.

Yes.

- Good news.
- Good news.

Alright. The good news is

that I've talked to the department,

and we don't have
to do "The Rite of Spring"

for this year's

contemporary ballet repertory.

Sir,

does that mean we don't have to
practice "The Rite of Spring" anymore?

Yes.

I just want to try it out.

But due to the change,

we need to do a presentation

to show the department
what we've accomplished.

I'd like to do

a presentation
that belongs to the young people.

We'll set a theme,

and all of you

are free to team up

and deepen your creativity

to make a unique show

of your own.

We don't have A and B roles this time.

Each of you

can be the star

of your own work.

Sir, what's the theme this time?

This time, the theme is

"What Does Dance

Mean to You?".

I have never thought about it.

Dance...

Seriously?

Alright, quiet.

And don't forget the bad news.

Because it's a new attempt.

The department only gives us a month.

If we fail,

it means

we have to go back to
practicing "The Rite of Spring".

Guys, it's a tight schedule.

you can do your assignment independently
as you're working in groups.

I think we can do it in time.

How about this?

Do you want to do creative choreography

or continue practicing
"The Rite of Spring"?

I fully respect everyone's opinion.

Let's vote by a show of hands.

Sir,

I agree with creative choreography.

Alright.

Anyone else?

Sir, I agree.

- I agree too.
- Me too.

Alright, so let's get started.

Let's start practicing.

Come on.

- Let's go.
- Alright.

[Female Dormitory]

Little Peacock,

are you going out? You look so happy.

Are you going out on a date
with Ling Chen?

Yes.

Not bad, Shi Xiaochun.

This is your first college date,

and I'm going to say goodbye
to you with tears in my eyes.

Little Peacock is finally going
on a date with Prince Ling.

It's not really a date.

We're trying to create a dance,

so we want to go out and
get some inspiration together.

You're so silly.
It's not about inspiration,

it's about wanting to go out with you.

That's right, Xiaochun.
You need to get well prepared.

How about I wear this

and some darker lipstick?

What do you think we're here for?

Duoduo and I will
take care of your outfit

and styling for the date.

Come on, Xiaochun.

Are we there yet?

Three, two, one.

Am I that pretty?

Of course.

Little Peacock is very pretty.

Remember to be confident later

and make Ling Chen remember
your goodness for the rest of your life.

-Alright.
-You can do it!

- I can do it!
- You can do it!

Alright, I'll get going now.

Xiaochun, remember to be ladylike.

If Ling Chen gives you roses,

remember to show your surprise.

Goodbye.

Let's go.

I'm going on a date with Ling Chen.

Oh my God. I'm not dreaming, am I?

Xiaochun.

♪If we had to do it all over again♪

♪I'll still be persistent♪

Hi.

Hi.

♪Our story has just begun♪

You're a little different today.

What's the difference?

You're pretty.

♪There are things we don't know♪

Thank you.

♪Staying by your side
brings reality closer♪

Let's go.

Where are we going?

My house.

I don't think it's a good idea
to go to your house on a first date.

It's okay. You'll see. Let's go.

Come in.

Xiao'ai.

Yes.

Close the curtains.

Okay, closing the curtains now.

Why did you close the curtains?

Xiao'ai.

Yes.

Turn off the lights.

Okay, turning off the lights.

Wait.

I thought we were supposed
to watch choreography videos.

Ling Chen, you're fooling me.

Let's go.

Were you fooling me just now?

Yes, I was.

Didn't we agree

to find inspiration together?

Look.

I have such a great collection
of dance DVDs at home.

That's a lot.

Have you watched all this?

Yes, I have.

Awesome.

Let's watch this.

Okay.

You know what, Xiaochun?

When I wanted to watch TV,

my mom used to play them for me

and never let me watch anything else.

You must have been so bored as a child.

I used to think

that all the TV

would show was ballet dancers.

I remember the first time
I went to a friend's house

and I was shocked to see cartoons

on their TV.

When I got home, I told my mom

I wanted a TV that played cartoons.

You were so cute when you were little.

But Ms. Yu is really
too strict with you.

She's actually quite nice to me,

it's just that...

It's just that I've always felt like

an emotionless dancing machine,

and I've danced my way up to this point.

I don't know
what's gotten into me lately,

but I've been

resenting this kind of control
in the name of love.

Right, what was on your mind that day

when you were dancing on the lawn?

What was on my mind?

I was thinking I'd try to break free,

break through all the resistance
that's holding me back.

And I can dance freely.

Do you know what was on my mind?

What?

I didn't know what was on your mind,

but I only had one thought.

I thought you were trapped

and I wanted to get you out.

Thank you, Xiaochun.

Don't mention it.

Right,

isn't this a perfect inspiration?

Let's choreograph your piece

on this theme.

This is really a good idea.

You've got a smart little head
on your shoulders.

Of course.

That's a good one.

We can take it as a reference.

Yeah, it's pretty good.

Alright, let's stop watching the videos.

Let's just go straight
to the practice room.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Mom.

What are you doing at home

instead of training today?

Mom, we came home to
watch some dance videos

for our presentation assignment.

I hope you know what's more important,

the competition or
the little presentation.

I still haven't decided

if I want to participate
in the competition.

Stop it.

We're going to practice dancing first.

I won't be back for dinner. Bye.

Goodbye, Ms. Yu.

[Department of Ballet]

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three, four,

Five, two, three, four,

Six, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, stop.

Come on.

Okay.

This is good.

I think it's pretty good.

That's a smooth move.

Ling Chen,

I really think you're so well suited
for contemporary ballet.

This set of moves doesn't look like
it was choreographed at all.

I feel the same way.

The last time the two of us
danced on the lawn,

(I felt an instinctive familiarity)

(in my body)

with the way we danced
through our emotions.

Maybe that's your gift.

Really?

Come on.

We'll practice a few more times

so you'll remember the familiarity.

- Alright, come on.
- Come on.

Come on.

Five, six, seven, go.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, stop.

Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin.

Xiaochun, as a savior,

your body has to be soft.

Soft in the first half,

then strong in the second.

I got it.

Ling Chen, I saw
that you were in great shape just now.

That's really good.

Thank you, sir.

It's all because of
the excellent teamwork

and Xiaochun helped me a lot.

Come on, don't be so humble.

Now,

it's like you've been
completely unlocked by a key.

I see as much passion

and longing in your dance
as in Xiaochun's.

Right, Ling Chen.

You used to study
classical ballet with Ms. Yu.

I think maybe contemporary ballet
is the right path for you.

Ling Chen, look.
Mr. Lin said the same thing.

You're really suited
to contemporary ballet.

Alright, you guys keep practicing.

Okay.

Mr. Huang.

Ling Chen, come in.

Mr. Huang, I'd like to
tell you something.

I've decided

to withdraw
from the International Ballet Competition.

Why are you withdrawing?

Mr. Huang,

I'm sorry.

I know I'm being arbitrary
in my decision.

But I've decided to
give up the qualification

and get ready for the presentation.

Mr. Huang, there are so many talented
people in the Department of Ballet,

there must be someone
better suited for it than me.

Have you talked to your mom about this?

Does Ms. Yu know?

Ling Chen, what do you mean
by doing this?

Do you think you've gotten so good

that you can make a decision
without telling me?

Come out now!

I'm sorry, Mr. Huang.

I'm sorry, Mr. Huang.

[Department of Ballet]

What are you thinking?

I know it's hard for you to accept it.

You've been given
the only chance in the class.

Why don't you appreciate it?

Do you have any idea

how important
this opportunity is to you?

It's your ticket to
the international stage.

For what have I worked
so hard to raise you

all these years?

It's all for this moment.

If you don't think of yourself,

at least think of me.

Have you thought of me?

This is your wish, not mine.

My wish?

I've been a mom and a dad
all these years.

I'm doing all this for your future.

Becoming a top dancer

and standing on the international stage.

You've put this expectation on me

since the first day I started dancing.

Have you ever asked me?

Have you ever asked me
what I really want?

Never.

Anyway, from now on,

I'll never live

the life you've planned for me.

Is it for Shi Xiaochun?

I saw her contemporary ballet.

It was unbelievably bad.

You think you can handle her?

I told you

I'm against you hanging out
with these losers.

You should put all your energy

into dancing.

From today on,

you're not allowed to
get along with Xiaochun.

Mom,

I made this decision on my own.

It's got nothing to do with her.

I should be thanking her.

She helped me find my goal.

I will never give up.

So whether you like it or not,

I'm not going to take part
in this competition.

Ling Chen!

(Are you asleep?)

(No.)

(I'm getting ready for bed.
What are you doing?)

(I'm thinking of you.)

(Me too.)

(Goodnight.)

Hello.

It's me, Yu Lihua.

Ms. Yu.

What's the matter?

I'm downstairs in your dorm

and I want to meet you.

Okay. Please wait a minute.

Ms. Yu.

Sorry to disturb you.

It's okay. Ms. Yu,

what do you want from me at this hour?

You and Ling Chen
are in love, aren't you?

Ms. Yu,

we...

Whatever your answer is,

starting tomorrow,

I want

you to take the initiative and
distance yourself from Ling Chen.

Ms. Yu, what do you mean by that?

Ling Chen withdrew

from the International College
Ballet Competition.

Why did he withdraw?

To practice with you

for that so-called
creative contemporary dance,

he has spent a lot of time on it.

How can he still have the energy
to prepare for the competition?

But

he didn't tell me about it.

He's not a talker.

He does all the good he can
to a person in silence.

I can tell you mean a lot

to him.

I...

I was once young.

I can understand the feeling
of starting to have a romantic love.

But if you really like Ling Chen,

you should think of him.

Do you know
what it would mean to Ling Chen

if he won the competition?

What do you want me to do?

To Ling Chen,

ballet is the most important thing
right now.

Romance can wait.

I hope you'll think about it carefully

and make the best choice for you

and Ling Chen.

Ms. Yu,

I want the best for Ling Chen

as much as you do,

so I'll persuade him
to take part in the competition.

But in the end,

I hope you'll respect his decision.

After all, he needs to make
his own choices in life.

And I'm not leaving him,

no matter what you say.

He needs me

just like I need him.

It may seem like he's the one
who's always helping me

and accommodating me,

but I'm sure

I'm just as capable
of giving him strength.
