Episode 15 recap: Two masters have arrived.
When Xu Xiaoqian and Lu Zhi Fei were chasing and playing around, Pei Zhi Jie happened to see them and felt that they were still young. Pei Zhi Jie told them that Qin Shangchang and Liang Yisheng, the two masters, were mentioned in a phone call with the master yesterday. He also mentioned that when the master was young, the two masters took good care of him. This year, the two masters mentioned that they wanted to find an activity to celebrate.
Xu Xiaoqian thought this matter was easily manageable. Wan Xia was slightly troubled and said that the two masters had some conflicts when they were young, and they haven't reconciled since then. Xu Xiaoqian felt that it was serious upon hearing this. Zhang Yuan sighed and said that when he was a child, seeing the two masters together was truly awe-inspiring, and even the master felt a bit regretful.
Pei Zhi Jie said that this matter had become a knot in the master's heart, and he wanted to mediate between the two and make them reconcile. He believed that the younger generation should take care of this. Lu Zhi Fei thought they were causing trouble for themselves. Pei Zhi Jie believed that it still needed to be taken care of and wanted to invite the two masters over the next day.
The next day, the masters arrived. Pei Zhi Jie mentioned that it happened to be the master's 50th anniversary in the arts, and since the master was overseas, they wanted to organize a special event for the masters in his place. Lu Zhi Fei implied that it wasn't about money for the masters, but about personal matters. The masters mentioned that the issues between themselves and their partners had been going on for many years and needed to be reconsidered.
Pei Zhi Jie found it a bit dramatic upon hearing this. While everyone was still happy, the masters suddenly spoke up and asked everyone present to act as supporting actors for themselves. Lu Zhi Fei repeated it, and everyone was stunned. The masters wanted to bring in new talent and start a new chapter in their artistic career. Pei Zhi Jie instructed his junior brother to keep this information secret from Liang Shifu, but unexpectedly, Liang Shifu heard about it.
Liang Shifu felt angry that they organized a special event for someone surnamed Qin but not for him.
Pei Zhi Jie had no choice but to tell Liang Shifu about the plan. Liang Shifu was happy to hear it, but he didn't want to hear about quitting smoking from Pei Zhi Jie. Pei Zhi Jie wanted Liang Shifu to perform the next day, but Liang Shifu didn't want to go after Qin Shifu. Liang Shifu also expressed his desire to bring in new talent. Pei Zhi Jie and the others felt that it was really difficult.
Wang Bo suggested that if it didn't work out, they could schedule different times for the afternoon and morning performances. Wan Xia seemed a bit unenthusiastic about the cross talk with Qin Shifu, and Qin Shifu felt that Wan Xia's expressions were not on point. Liang Shifu did cross talk with Xu Xiaoqian, but he felt that Xu Xiaoqian's delivery was not as good as Qin Shifu's. Both Qin Shifu and Liang Shifu were being picky, and everyone felt that their own skills were inadequate.
Pei Zhi Jie and the others wanted to give up, and Pei Zhi Jie didn't want to say anything, so he asked his junior brothers to speak. Liang Shifu overheard their conversation and realized that they had scheduled Qin Shifu for the evening, which he found a bit unfair. He insisted on performing together with Qin Shifu. Pei Zhi Jie didn't know how to explain it to Qin Shifu.
Xu Xiaoqian thought of finding a way to make them perform together, but everyone thought they would end up fighting if they met. Pei Zhi Jie also knew that they had to try a desperate measure and see how it goes. Lu Zhi Fei suggested that Qin Shifu and Liang Shifu perform together on stage. When the two masters met, they were confrontational towards each other. Pei Zhi Jie and Xu Xiaoqian were scolded by Liang Shifu, who said that he wouldn't tolerate it anymore and wanted them to tell the master.
Xu Xiaoqian said that they also wanted to show filial piety. Pei Zhi Jie and the others tried their best to persuade Qin Shifu and Liang Shifu to perform together. After hearing Qin Shifu's words, Pei Zhi Jie could only go and practice. He felt that the problem was not yet resolved and a big challenge had arisen. Xu Xiaoqian wanted to try the method of deceiving and overcoming obstacles.
