TwoSet Roast!
Why is there so many roast videos lately?
The juiciest roast for you guys.
- Ohh! I am so roasted. - That's right.
I'm red. I'm wearing a red shirt.
- It's time to roast! - Woah!
Speed, accuracy, intonation...
- Just about the speed. - It's all about the speed.
Speaking of speed...
This is gonna be a speedy roast today.
Found another drama it's called...
Oh no...
And this is a very interesting one because
I feel like the director in this one
tried to take the easy way out.
I don't know if they were just trying to play safe
or they were a bit lazy...
They thought they could get away with it...
But not - Not this time!
I can hear the meditation thais. It's coming, it's coming.
That's pretty accurate representation of the Asian mom.
My son... He plays violin.
He's practicing. He's doing it! Yeah, that's him.
Dude, that's so my mom!
Really?
Actually, that is so your mom.
Do you want to have a look?
I'm trying to practice and the door opens like...
"Just looking... It's my friends... Come have a–"
I'm like "oh my god."
That's your mom! That's your mom!
They never said that about my playing.
Really? Maybe they did, just behind the screen.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, gotta show the actor now, transition!
Transition to the OST soundtrack.
Oh...
So we can't tell if he's playing Meditation or not.
That scene was funny.
I want to watch it again.
That's not the face people see
when they see me practice.
Woah...
- It's like - Da da da~ - Woah...
It's more like oh, okay, okay. Alright.
And then why is he practicing outside? It's raining.
It's not good for the instrument.
The humidity actually damages the instrument.
Is it raining?
Oh my god, it is.
- Yeah. - Dude, don't practice outside...
It's gonna ruin your violin.
Way too humid.
Even if the rain's not hitting the violin,
which it might because of wind...
The humidity's just not good.
Dude, his bow is not even moving.
No wonder they switch to background music.
He's just like...
He's not moving.
And action!
He's not moving! He's not moving...
That bow!
It's about to snap!
In case you guys don't know, the bow...
It should be roughly like just enough to fit your pinky in.
The curve needs to be this way.
The arc... Not that way.
Dude... And did you see the bow's like bouncing?
- Yeah I know, it was sh - He was getting nervous. - It was shaking. His down bow -
- Da da da da da... - It's like -
Every musicians' nightmare is shaky bow.
Aww... What are you...
- Take a photo of someone without them... - I've never had like a girl just like...
Look at me play and go...
Wow...
These fantasies!
It's the way they portray violin.
In the mainstream it's so romantic.
It's good for us, but it's not really that romantic.
And even if it was...
Please don't just take photos of us
while we're practicing.
- Yeah. - It's a bit...
It's a very precious period for musicians to practice.
Doesn't really help our self-esteem.
When someone is filming us practicing.
Not to mention, that's not how you practice.
- Yeah, that's not how you practice. - He's just playing.
If he is practicing, he should be like...
Fixing...
Difficult things.
Like...
Oh, vibrato's not good.
Oh, it's not in tune.
Check with the D string -
Do what professionals do like -
Check out the Hillary Hahn videos.
An actual practice session from a musician does not...
Is not romantic at all. It is...
Slow. It is tedious. It's scales. It's dry.
Well, unless you're like most of us
that don't practice properly.
Elbow in the reflection, I can tell it's already too tight.
His string crossings are massive.
In the slow mo, you can see the bow going da da da.
The bow's like da da da...
Dude, his bow is tilting backwards.
Like that.
It should always be flat or this way.
A skid fest as usual.
Ah!
Dude, if you're filming someone
and they are already turning around
You - You don't go...
Oh, oops.
There's a lot of like fantasy about
romantic associations with violin.
Sexual tension, man.
- Sexual tension. - Sexual tension.
- Dude... - Not even a hello?
Hey, what's your name? Why are you here?
I'm more confused. Why is she wearing shoes?
- Yeah. Why is she - - It's a Chinese house!
- No!!! - Dude!
Oh!!!
What!
- Why is she wearing shoes... - Why is she - Shoes...
Why is she wearing shoes!
I don't think he...
Undid his - Undo your bow before putting in the case.
Especially how tight he did his bow.
It needs to be undone,
otherwise it's gonna be ruining the wood.
And also he didn't wipe his strings.
- Yeah. The rosin. - The rosin.
So undoing the bow is...
Turning the little knob here, guys.
- Yeah. - When you turn the knob...
The hair becomes looser. I come closer. Here.
Yes.
And it becomes...
Loose!
Like this.
Focus, camera! Come on, Camera!
And then you can pack it away.
- I've never seen a violinist hold their violin like that. - Yeah, that's a bit like... This.
Yeah... Usually it's like...
- That. - Yeah.
Or like...
- That. - It's called instrument respect.
Respect your instrument!
And respect your practice.
One short scene...
Directors probably thought...
Maybe these guys called TwoSet Violin gonna
roast our thing so let's just be safe
and just dub it over with you know...
Yeah...
- Other music. - Soundtrack. Nah!
Nah.
- No, no, no! - Just get a musician...
Argh!
Zhen zhen.
Nai cha. (Milk tea)
Zhen zhu nai cha. (Bubble tea)
Zhen zhen nai cha.
I want zhen zhen nai cha.
That mom is just so much like your mom.
I just gotta say...
Excuse me, may I?
She's halfway through her piece!
You don't just walk up
halfway through a musician's piece
and be like, "Excuse me, may I?"
- Look at her smile, she is just like... - She's like urgh...
Awks... Awkward...
He stopped this violinist's performance...
While she's playing at a gig at a restaurant.
- And he's just having a conversation. - And then he is having a conversation at the piano.
Come on.
Respect musicians.
The bottom note of the pinky is not aligned.
It's not synced, so... The piano is not synced.
Can you look at the violinist?
You're playing together! Don't look at the...
Girl...
Yeah.
Yeah. You're playing chamber music like...
He should be looking at the girl because
he's not playing together with her.
I - I -
This is really confusing me because...
The violin and the piano in the recording is not together.
- I know, they are not together. - It's not together, right? Listen.
- Delayed. - The A is late, right?
The violin is late.
Came a bit late.
Late.
It's the wrong rhythm.
Da da da daa~
3...
4...
1...
2...
- Da da... - 3, not...
- 1, 2... - Da....
It's almost like they did get a real violinist to record this,
but then they recorded it wrong.
But then if they had a real violinist...
Why didn't they just ask the violinist to check...
The editing in all the other scenes?
It seems like they didn't have a violinist.
But then why didn't they just get a recording?
This scene is basically just their face
and they're still messing up...
They still messed it up!
Oh, guys. I'm about to give up.
Look, guys... I get it that...
They tried to...
Minimize damage by showing as little as possible...
- Of the violin playing. - Like this right now.
But it doesn't work that way... It's -
Just get a musician to look over it.
It doesn't take much
and there's plenty of musicians out there
that are good enough.
Ling Lings everywhere.
- Just do it! - Spend 20 minutes.
- Just do it! - Ask a violinist.
Guys...
Speed...
Accuracy and intonation...
That's it for TwoSet roast today.
I hope you enjoyed our flame grilled...
