[Episode 7]

- Thank you, Senior. - Thank you, Senior.

We will come again next time!

- No problem. No problem. - We will definitely come again. Thank you.

- Get some rest. - Bye-bye!

So tiring!

I'm about to starve to death.

Are you the devil?

I'm hungry.

- Why didn't you tell me if you're hungry? - I told you but you didn't hear me.

You even gave the lemonade I made to someone else.

Next time, if there are so many people, be a bit louder.

Dinner is ready. Let's go!

- Do you want to eat or not? - I'll eat!

You worked hard today.

How should I put this? Even though it was very difficult today, I really feel different than before.

Before, I was always fighting on my own. This is the first time I've had a team.

Besides, sometimes I feel like I'm the leader of the team.

It feels pretty amazing.

I really hope that everyone can perform on stage together.

When working hard turns into hope, it's really not tiring at all.

It seems like you've integrated into the family of Team S.

We're all so united right now so there surely won't be a problem with the performance.

Even though everyone has made some progress, Zhou Yin's playing still sticks out.

I have to find some time to talk to her about it.

She can't keep up with the pace.

- Zhuo Yin's family situation still hasn't been resolved? - It's not that.

We'll talk about it later. Let's eat, now.

Everyone is now on the right path. That's so great!

Oh yeah, today I bumped into Caiwei.

She didn't seem too happy.

That's probably because of the school's anniversary. She's the type of person who is always worried about personal gains and losses.

You understand your ex-girlfriend so well.

She's not my ex-girlfriend, we're just friends. Friends!

Then let me ask you a question, I'll give you some choices.

What type of girls do you like?

For example, girls like me, girls like me, or girls like me.

Which one would you choose?

Stop eating and answer me!

I'll choose the lemonade.

You have to answer me, or else I won't let you eat!

I'll say it! I like myself! I'm narcissistic!

Eat your dinner!

You're performing in three hours. Hurry and go to the auditorium.

There are some passages I'm still not certain about. I want to practice some more.

Then pay attention to the time. Don't be late!

Where did she go?

Is there anyone there?

Teacher?

You still haven't found Shasha? We can't wait for her anymore. Let Caiwei go on.

Did you prepare this performance for the Department of Vocals

or for Team A?

Because it's fun.

I thought that you really treated Team A indifferently.

You are wrong about this.

Actually, I treat Team S

indifferently.

Tian Yisong and Li Zhenyan,

who is your real target?

Do you think Team S can perform on a stage this big?

We can perform on an even bigger one.

Really? Then can I perform on one as well?

Besides your piano concerto...

considering your current ability, I estimate that you can only be a lucky charm and dance on stage.

Lucky charm? That's also fine.

I see Master Fei.

After Zhuoyin came back, did he say anything to you?

I think he doesn't want to bother with me.

I think getting Zhuoyin to come back was just an excuse.

Who knows what he is up to?

How could that be? Everyone is very concerned.

Really? I don't think he has cared for anyone besides his game.

Why is it Caiwei?

Looks like you weren't surprised at all.

They are still young.

They should experience this, just like when we were younger.

At that time, in the competition between you and Maestro Wayn,

did you also suffer the same way?

I can't call it a suffering but

the stage is like a battlefield.

However, one's failure doesn't determine one's life.

As long as you give your heart to music,

what you get in return is definitely true sincerity.

They are still young.

They will have to go through this in the future.

Hello everyone. Thank you for listening to this radio station.

Within this city, at this time, it has started to rain.

The city in the rain is falling into the beauty of drowsy.

Let our hearts enjoy

the comfort and pleasure under the rainfall.

♫ Perhaps you also once had ♫

♫ A time when you felt lost ♫

♫ Staring at the busy streets ♫

♫ You doubt if you will just ♫

♫ Live with too many, too heavy expectations ♫

♫ Making you unable to breathe ♫

♫ As long as you strive for love, you will find ♫

♫ An even better self ♫

We have practiced for over a month so when will Master Fei come?

That's right! We don't even know why we are practicing anymore.

What are you saying? Of course, we're practicing for ourselves.

Besides, even if Master Fei doesn't come, we can still play music, right?

What does it mean to play music?

You have respect for classical music.

Why don't you try using English to say it one more time?

I'm playing music.

Little friends.

Master Fei.

Fei She'er, you're here!

What Fei She'er? I told you so many times.

Fisher, it's more Westernized, okay? F-I-S-H-E-R, Fisher.

Fei She'er.

Master Fei, are you inspecting our results?

What do you mean by inspecting your results?

Just play like you usually do during practice.

Then, let's begin.

Okay!

Zhuo Yin was in sync with the all harmonies.

That's strange! How can she suddenly change?

Also, her bass notes have become very smooth. They are not rough at all.

Her sound is even filled with her own emotions.

She is totally different from whom she was before.

Her music is completely different as well.

Bravo!

Really, really good!

I can see that you have all put your hearts into your playing.

Of course! With this Demon Coach around, how would we...

- How can we not put our hearts in it? - Then, I'm elated.

In the upcoming competition, you guys should be fine.

- Performance? - Wait! Master Fei.

What performance?

Why is it a competition?

D-Didn't I tell you?

Right, I forgot.

Okay. There's something I have to announce.

Team S and Team A will have a

competition!

Also, also, after the performance between the two teams, only one team can stay.

The team that loses has to disband.

What?

Master Fei, why did you make this decision?

Because it's fun.

- Is it fun? What if we lose? - Then you will just disband.

Worst case, just quit being the lucky charm.

Oh right, there's one more test.

In order for this to be fair,

before the competition whether it is Team S or Team A,

I will not help you.

You already decided not to help.

- Who will be our conductor? - Didn't they already say it?

With you as a devil coach,

Mr. Li Zhenyan, you guys should have chemistry already, right?

Team S students, good luck!

Yeah!

Goodbye.

I'm the conductor?

Have we been abandoned?

Is it because we're not talented enough?

Listen, why do you all look so dejected? What's the point?

Team S will not lose, right?

Right! How can we lose before we even compete?

You're only a freshman, of course, you aren't worried.

We are about to graduate.

It would be better if we use this time to find a job.

- But if we don't— - Master isn't here anymore, how is there still a Team S?

We really can't beat Team A.

We are definitely going to lose.

Why are we all so pessimistic?

We haven't even competed so why do we keep saying we're going to lose?

Let's disband then.

Since no one has any fighting spirit,

then we will definitely lose so why don't we just disband?

I want to stay.

It's the first time I've been picked.

I don't want to give up just like this.

I don't want to, either.

I don't want to graduate just like this.

Me neither.

- Us too. - Me too.

- Us too. - Me too.

Since we've all worked so hard for so long, why don't we give it another go?

What you said is right!

Also, we really might not lose to Team A, right?

Our Team S will definitely win. Team S will definitely win!

We must win! We must win! We must win!

Wait, wait!

Before we win, don't we need a conductor to guide us?

Senior, are you willing to lead us

in beating Team A?

Since you've found your fighting spirit, we have to win.

From now until the competition starts, you must listen to me.

- No problem! - No problem!

This time, let's fight well!

I regret it a little.

- Gosh. - What are you doing?

Let's do it one more time.

Let's do it one more time. I'll give you a chance.

Okay, everyone, concentrate one more time.

Three, two, go.

- Not bad! -Yeah.

- Zhuo Yin. - Senior.

Today, I noticed that you could harmonize the parts that you couldn't before.

In addition, you're playing with an 80% open stance.

I'm curious how you were suddenly able to do that.

You were able to hear it?

Actually, I didn't know I had that many problems in the past.

It was Master Fei who helped me.

The weather is so beautiful.

Everything is so nice out here.

Why are you sighing?

Master Fei, why are you here?

Just look around! All the beauty you can see here can turn gray

because of your mood.

Can you share with me why you're sighing?

I think that after I went back to Team S,

I might have become their burden.

My music doesn't incorporate well with theirs.

I can't even keep up with the beat.

Here... take out your bass.

Here?

We'll play The Elephant from "The Carnival of the Animals."

How about it? Are you ready?

Okay, let's start.

Focus!

At that time, I understood what Master Fei was saying. Confidence doesn't really originate from what other people think.

Instead, it comes from the certainty I have in myself.

When I have firm confidence in myself,

when I don't have the least fear of what others think,

the whole world will give me their applause.

Bravo!

After I found my confidence, I realized that all the problems disappeared.

I'll be leaving then.

Having us compete with Team S,

won't that be too one-sided (TN: an easy victory)?

The team that loses will be disbanded.

Isn't that a little over the top?

Master, you said that in order to be fair to both sides, you'll withdraw from both Team A and Team S.

- Then why don't you conduct both orchestras for the competition? - That's right.

Master Fei, so you mean

that only the winners have the qualifications to be your students, is that right?

You've asked a good question.

Team A is my team.

Team S is also mine.

What's the point in competing with myself?

I want to see, based on your own powers, what both teams are capable of—

No, no. To see what kind of spark you can create.

Besides, look at how young and how handsome I am.

I already have white hair so I should take a break.

That's it, okay?

Oh, right!

A friendly tip! Blindly underestimating your opponent

will be a disadvantage.

Bye!

Master!

Do you need some more friendly tips?

Master, we can compete.

However, if I win, I hope that you can grant me a request.

You don't need a friendly tip.

What is it?

If I win, I want to be your student.

A real student.

Come, come!

Your request is really straightforward

but I have never accepted students.

How about...

I give you a lollipop instead?

Master.

- Then, let me become your only student. - Okay.

After you win, I'll consider it.

I will win!

Congratulations to Senior Zhenyan on formally becoming the conductor for Team S!

Here's wishing success to Team S in beating Team A!

I think you are all too blindly optimistic.

I'm going to stab you! Why do you pour cold water on our hopes every time?

Out of the two teams, only one can remain.

The losing team will be disbanded.

But look, don't you always think like that? You're always like this.

Just close your mouth! I'm realizing right now that you just want to see if you can match my strength.

- You're the one that does that. - What are you two talking about?

Your two are all tangled up like little kids.

- Who are you calling a kid? - Who are you calling a kid?

Here, here! Fried chicken for a guaranteed victory is here! Come!

- Thank you, Uncle. - This is what I should do.

I still haven't done enough.

We're all on our way to becoming kings of classical music!

Luffy once said, "Even though I wasn't born a king;" (TN: Luffy from the Anime One Piece)

"however, in my bones, I don't bow down to anyone."

Daddy, you're my biggest supporter! I know that.

Look at all these people.

What? Why do you look so worried?

Lighten up, lighten up! Okay?

That's right! Senior Li Zhenyan, you're formally our conductor now.

Conductor Li. Conductor Li. Conductor Li. Conductor Li.

- Conductor Li! - Conductor Li! Then let me drink to undertaking this job that is really beyond my abilities.

Here! Cheers!

Why didn't you mention this competition to me earlier?

The situation regarding Team A and Team S?

Haven't you already handed them over to me?

As soon as you got here, you formed that odd Team S. I didn't stop you.

You aren't conducting either one of them. I didn't say anything about that, either.

However, now, you're going to disband one with just a word.

I'm the principal that makes decisions at Paci.

Shouldn't you ask for my opinion first?

Yes.

Honored Principal Lin,

there's something that I need to let you know.

Paci is actually too... too comfortable.

I want to use this competition to create a fighting spirit and stress.

- Please let me do so. - You—

Okay, okay, okay, Mian.

Didn't you ask me to come because Paci is "too boring"?

Don't worry! I will protect your precious students.

I'll make each of them

sparkle and glitter.

You still remember this song?

How can I forget it?

That was the most wonderful time in my life.

It's already in the past.

Why do you still remember that after twenty-something years?

But neither of us has forgotten.

Yu Mian,

you still...

do you still blame me for leaving you that year to go to Europe?

It doesn't mean anything just because I haven't forgotten.

In these 20 or so years, I have remembered that without you.

What I should forget and what I shouldn't forget,

I thought time would help me decide.

Yet once I let it go,

I stopped wanting to forget it.

How true!

After playing around,

I guess I'll spend my life with music.

Not forgetting, yet not having any regrets... isn't that a good thing?

That's true!

Every time I hear you call my name,

my heart still pounds like a little deer.

No respect for our age.

Let me warn you!

If the performances for the competition are messed up,

I'll come and settle the score with you.

How are you going to do so?

[Mario Paci Conservatory of Music]

Zhuo Yin!

It's you?

Say, you're so small,

how can you carry such a huge instrument around?

- Just like this! - I can help you.

- No need. - Let me help you.

- It's okay. I'll help you. - It's okay. I can do it myself.

What are you doing?

Team A? Are you bullying our team member?

- No. - You've mistaken.

I clearly saw you so how could I be mistaken?

- Brother Qin Fen, just now he was— - Don't say anything!

Your Team A used dirty tricks to steal Zhuo Yin and now, you're resorting to violence?

I was just helping her carry her instrument.

Who are you saying used dirty tricks?

I said you guys.

I think we are competing based on our own abilities.

We're not competing with words here.

Do you agree, First Chair Qin Fen?

You are covering yourselves up. What do you want?

- What do you want? - What do I want?

If I were you, I would take the time to practice right now.

After all, losing to us "swindlers" is more shameful.

Let's practice.

- First Chair. - What swindlers?

Qin Fen, he was just trying to help me carry the bass.

Really?

Hey.

- Shasha? - Thank you for last time.

No need to thank me.

Oh yeah, did you find your phone?

I found it at the lost-and-found office but the performance was already over.

It was such a pity that I couldn't be on the same stage as you.

What happened last time?

Are you talking about my being locked inside?

It might have been an accident, or it could have been done by someone who doesn't like me.

Good thing I met you or else I would have been laughed at by the whole school.

- Don't you want to investigate it? - How could I investigate it?

The security cameras were removed a long time ago.

After what happened, I'll be even more on guard

so it's not entirely a bad thing.

Do you know who did it?

Let's not talk about that! I want to treat you to a meal, do you have time to eat together?

Forget about the meal! You don't have to thank me.

It was just a coincidence that time.

I'll be leaving first.

Then, I'll see you later.

Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry.

You're carrying so many music sheets.

Wow!

You...

You came here to spy on us?

What you saw just now are the music choices for Team A.

You've already finished selecting your pieces?

Hasn't your team started choosing yet?

We chose one a long time ago.

What are you doing?

Yes. You guys already picked yours a long time ago.

Then remember! After you lose, come to find me, and become my apprentice.

I think that Team A is more talented.

Let's go.

[Department of Music Notice Board]

- Good luck. - Good luck.

[Team A and Team S Competition]

- Everyone received the music score, right? - Yes.

This is Beethoven's "Hero." (TN: aka Sinfonia Eroica)

We still have a month left.

There's not that much time left so right now, if we are

competing with Team A based on skills, I don't think it's quite possible.

So I plan to compete in style and degree of completion.

Everyone must remember that this time it's for survival.

It's not just a simple competition.

You must not hit any wrong notes,

stray from the music score, or improvise. Understand?

Okay.

I don't think it's that serious.

I thought of a secret weapon.

Secret weapon? What kind of secret weapon?

- Master Fei. - I came to take a look.

Master Fei.

Master, let me tell you about my secret weapon!

I won't tell you. You'll see later.

Okay, then continue.

- Just ignore my presence. - What secret weapon?

Let's begin!

Then, let's start.

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

Qin Fen, what are you doing?

Why are you standing while playing?

How is it? Do I look handsome?

- Handsome. - I researched it.

Beethoven (TN: originally) dedicated this piece of music to Napoleon,

so we need to show off Napoleon's vigor as an emperor. Am I right?

Puffing your chest and acting silly is your secret weapon?

Yes!

What do you all think? Isn't it quite good?

- It's really good. - It's really good?

What time is it already? Can you not fool around and sit down?

Why don't we bring in some innovation?

No way! The high notes were too harsh and too unpleasant. Sit down!

If we just play by following the music sheets, how can we beat Team A?

That's right! Our usual performance method can't beat Team A.

That's right.

Also, Master Fei said

Team S is the most unique team.

With a team like this, why can't we do something different?

It's very creative and lots of fun.

Yes. Then we, the woodwind section, should discuss it and do something as well.

That's right.

- That makes sense. - What can we do?

That's enough!

What time is it that you guys are playing house?
