Episode 10
But I have to admit.
She is indeed very kind.
You are right.
She is a good girl.
Sometimes I feel quite jealous of her.
That she can perform the music play with you.
And get 5 points so easily.
Come on, who wants these 5 points?
Me.
I do.
That's exactly what I need
to get a special scholarship.
Maybe it's destiny.
Just these 5 points.
I couldn't get that no matter how.
Not a big deal.
Just another year of eating rice and clear soup.
Suffering is what young people need.
Any other way of getting the extra points?
I got the other courses.
It is barely possible for me
to get higher marks.
Actually, I want to ask Xia
if she would give this opportunity to me.
But I would feel quite embarrassed.
Because...
But you also said,
she is very kind,
And maybe she wouldn't mind.
I mean she doesn't want this role anyway.
And I think this..
Shen Zhen.
Whether Xia wants to perform or not,
she has the right to give this role away or not.
Because she owns this opportunity.
Besides,
This has nothing to do with her being kind or not.
You, you are right.
It's me who is using moral coercion.
I am just kidding,
Don't take this seriously.
Enjoy the food.
Is this five-points important to you?
I got it.
Later school administrators
will inspect your attendance in the little theatre.
You guys don't have to worry,
Since you just got your scripts.
But make sure your good
and positive appearance is there.
So that our team will be recognized.
Understood?
Understood.
OK. Everyone
Let's move to the little theatre.
Okay, okay.
Let's go, let's go.
How's that? How's that?
What?
That painting.
Which painting?
Isn't there one ink and wash painting
that looks special in your dorm?
Maybe it belongs to Ye Miao.
Or is he restoring any painting?
Do you know that the painting was so ruined
that someone's gonna die because of this?
I, I don't wanna die young.
Me either.
So,
Listen carefully.
Do not tell Lu Huahua anything about this.
Or even, Xia Ruining.
Understand?
Do you?
Nope.
There's no such a painting.
No?
Then what is he restoring?
Nope.
He
is not restoring anything.
Okay, let me see.
See what we can do.
The costume and shoes for this performance.
You gotta at least prepare 22 sets.
OK, I know.
We need to prepare that many things for this performance?
Yeah.
Just confirmed,
Ye Miao was not restoring any painting.
This goddamn Ye Miao.
What a waste of efforts to take him medicine and materials.
You seriously threw that painting away?
I will never forgive you.
What's up?
Nothing.
Just a bit nervous.
Though this is the first time of their inspection.
But don't worry.
As long as you follow the music
while you are getting on the stage.
You shouldn't make any mistakes.
Got it?
Yes.
Xia Ruining.
Where is Ye Miao?
Everyone is waiting for him now.
Call him and ask him
where he is now.
I am here.
Shen Zhen.
Why is she up on the stage?
Dean Gu,
am I right?
Cross gender performance is an eye-catcher.
And fancier.
Quite a bold attempt.
However, we gotta see how well she sings.
Right.
This modeling
is fine.
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 perfectly
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 perfectly
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.
