Dean Gu,
First is female solo.
Okay, go ahead.
Yes.
Music please.
Backstage crew ready.
Three
Two
One
Action.
Long days in still water
Fang Yuan.
Did I sing out of tune just now?
Actually, I would sing off key sometimes.
No,
Not at all.
You were great just now.
It's a legend.
I think you are the leading actress herself.
Really?
Actually, I practiced this very hard.
Because the song and the opera
are both composed by Ye Lin.
that's why I put my whole heart on it.
I think the song you sang
can take you
to the top three in any music list in our country.
You are a genius.
I strongly suggest that you not to sing this to any other people.
You must amaze the world with your first call!
I believe everyone will be shocked by you!
Xia Ruining,
Don't get nervous.
You'll make it.
Go for it.
Following the heart, I cast my ink to worship the heaven
Heavy or light, colors match perfectlyÃ¿
Meeting too late are the words to say
One mind with the only thought
Drinking alone, with empty glass I sigh to the vanishing incense
Rippled by the wind as it passed
The falling petals rest on someone's fingertips
The paint speaks for my mind
Amid the red azaleas cuckoos sing
Restoration I make, words I wrote, for the flower I drew
Upon roseleaf raspberries the landscape cling
Paint I describe, color I dye in gamboge and rouge
At the wharf, I look far to the distant mountains
As I draw and I pin, in cinnabar and eosin
Smile on the lips, by the still water in eternity
Are you really good at singing?
This is way off.
She is such a horrible singer.
Isn't there anyone who can actually sing among the freshmen?
What is this?
Where does she come from?
Dean Gu has got business.
And left early.
But I am sure you all saw that.
He left with the dissatisfaction of your rehearsal.
Our leading actress.
Her spirit was worth compliment.
But her singing
Personally I think,
it's far from what they expected.
Xia Ruining,
Is that because of the backing track or yourself?
I...
Why do I think you're singing another song?
Ye Lin,
Didn't your student union rehearse before?
Director Gao,
But I think Xia's improvising ability
is really good.
What do you think?
Nonsense!
Are we in an improvising singing competition now?
Even if it is improvising,
It cannot be that bad.
Change her.
Let others sing.
Are you sure about that?
Director Gao.
Actually, what happened today
is exactly what I am afraid of.
So I had some backup plan for this.
Where are they?
Ask them here.
You two.
Come here, here.
These two.
I mean, of course.
We don't judge people by how they look.
But,
except their basic ability and integrity,
appearance also matters.
After all, the leading actress,
is a goodness.
Director Gao.
Can I have another chance?
I will put my every effort in it this time.
A good singer needs talent as well.
Turns out it is you who want to embarrass me.
No way!
Director Gao.
I actually want to show what we stand for
on the stage very much.
With another chance given,
I will strive to be the best eye candy!
And also, in the fields of singing.
I will make a determined effort to do it well.
I believe in the near future,
I will get the first title
for our Cultural Relics and Museums.
Xia Ruining,
I know you are hard-working.
But there must be some other characters
That suit you better.
So,
Any volunteers?
This character is open to all.
How can she go? She is too tall.
Aren't you a good singer?
No, I...
I think you can give it a try.
What if I didn't make it, too embarrassing.
Or give up.
No one?
Director Gao.
It is very hard to be a good leading actress.
I think the singing part,
I can find someone who is good at playing piano
to help me get in tune.
Right?
What's the most important thing?
That's attitude.
Which I must have.
And confidence,
And I will try my best
to sing the song well.
And then, then...
I would like to try.
Shen Zhen,
Aren't you the leading actor?
How can you play this.
Well, the leading actor is already there.
Ye Miao,
Following the heart, I cast my ink to worship the heaven
Heavy or light, colors match perfectlyÃ¿
Meeting too late are the words to say
One mind with the only thought
Drinking alone, with empty glass I sigh to the vanishing incense
Rippled by the wind as it passed
The falling petals rest on someone's fingertips
She sings so well.
The paint speaks for my mind
Amid the red azaleas cuckoos sing
Restoration I make, words I wrote, for the flower I drew
Upon roseleaf raspberries the landscape cling
Paint I describe, color I dye in gamboge and rouge
At the wharf, I look far to the distant mountains
As I draw and I pin, in cinnabar and eosin
Smile on the lips, by the still water in eternity
Sounds better than I did.
It's okay,
I will write you a leading actress that doesn't need to sing.
Doesn't sing songs in a music play?
We can.
We can write a play.
Even a meme.
I want to be in the acrobatics.
Acrobatics...
Must need lots of money for the background and the props.
What kind of character do you want to play?
Female ranger with great martial arts?
I wanna fly over the eaves and run on the walls.
Seriously?
You sure you are talking about being a female ranger?
Or a female thief?
Ye Lin,
You are so nice to me.
Thank you.
Are you really yourself
when being with Ye Miao.
Don't have to pretend you are fine.
When I have the right to stand up on the stage.
I always laugh at this being so hideous and crude.
But now.
I don't even deserve to laugh at it.
Xia Ruining.
Ye Miao.
I will never forgive you again!
Why are you here?
I don't need your sympathy.
I am here to comfort you.
That may not be bad if you can't perform,
or you'd humiliate yourself in the formal performance.
Right?
You.
Is that comfort?
Imagine.
You were standing on the phenix fire ladder,
singing a melodious song.
You should be the shining star and impress everyone present.
But once you start your singing.
It feels like there were a thousand ravens coming to me.
The sky becomes dark.
And I am feeling so bad.
That's why I said.
Maybe it's a good thing you are not in it.
You are still the perfect school beauty.
What did you say?
What did you just say?
It's a good thing?
Yeah.
Nuts!
You are here to kick me when I am down.
Saying me singing like a thousand ravens?
You traitor.
How come I become a traitor?
See.
Traitor means we were from the same country.
Xia.
Are we from the same country?
Yeah.
We are both Chinese.
The descendants of the Chinese nation.
Anyway.
I don't want you to be close to Shen Zhen.
Tell me why
I couldn't be close to her?
Because...
because she...
Whatever, me or her?
Me or Ye Lin?
Ye Miao.
The director team wants us.
What is it?
Seems like they want us to
get familiar with our movements.
I don't know for sure.
But they're in a hurry.
Just us.
Leading actor, huh?
Of course you should be there.
Go ahead,
Go with your leading actress.
She is not my leading actress.
Goodbye.
Ye Miao, hurry.
Go, go, go.
Let's go.
