Episode 34 recap: Xu Xiaoqian Music Special.
Pei Zhi Jie thought that Wan Xia played the qin better and wanted Wan Xia to further improve. Lu Zhi Fei, on the side, watched Wan Xia with a gloating expression and suggested that Wan Xia should have a personal concert as the "Little Prince of the Small Sanxian" and claimed that it would definitely be popular. Lu Zhi Fei even discussed splitting the profits evenly with Wan Xia. Pei Zhi Jie couldn't bear to watch anymore and felt that Lu Zhi Fei was becoming obsessed with money.
Wan Xia said that she didn't have the ability and couldn't handle such a big thing. Xu Xiaoqian encouraged Wan Xia, saying that she should give it a try, and maybe she would become a rising star in the music industry. Pei Zhi Jie was a bit confused about this "rising star" term, but Xu Xiaoqian explained that he ranked fifth, so he was nicknamed the "Little Talent Five" of the music industry. Wang Bo and Lu Zhi Fei thought Xu Xiaoqian was too arrogant.
Seeing that no one believed in him, Xu Xiaoqian decided to prove himself by playing his guitar for everyone. Lu Zhi Fei stopped Xu Xiaoqian who was about to leave, telling him not to join in the fun since they were discussing the sanxian, not the guitar. Xu Xiaoqian couldn't understand why they were considered separate things; he believed music was music regardless.
Wang Bo argued that the guitar and the sanxian couldn't be compared at all, and Xu Xiaoqian's ideas wouldn't work. Xu Xiaoqian felt a bit indignant and asked Pei Zhi Jie for his opinion on whether he should hold the concert. Pei Zhi Jie also didn't think it was necessary. Xu Xiaoqian felt that no one supported his idea of having a concert, so he decided to livestream his performance and prove that people would pay attention to him.
Wan Xia knew that Xu Xiaoqian was a bit short-tempered and didn't want to expose him. Kevin approached Xu Xiaoqian and introduced himself as the guy who had been sending gifts in his livestream. Wan Xia saw Kevin's business card and thought it looked like a delivery person's card. Kevin mentioned that Xu Xiaoqian had talent and could join his company as a signed artist.
Xu Xiaoqian suddenly felt very talented and wanted to give it a try, to change the stereotypical behavior of a traditional Chinese comedian. Kevin, upon hearing this, was delighted and warmly welcomed Xu Xiaoqian, expressing a desire for Xu Xiaoqian to join him. He mentioned that they could discuss the financial aspects after a three-month assessment period. Pei Zhi Jie and the others saw Xu Xiaoqian practicing his pronunciation and thought that something was wrong with him, suspecting that he had been deceived by someone.
Xu Xiaoqian said that Kevin valued his talent and not only didn't want his money but even offered him money. Wan Xia, seeing Xu Xiaoqian acting all hyped up, was afraid that he was being deceived. When she saw Xu Xiaoqian continuously stretching his legs, she thought he had gone crazy. Xu Xiaoqian, in order to maintain good vocal health, refused to eat heavily salted and oily foods.
Xu Xiaoqian approached Teacher Kevin to inquire whether he had bigger plans than before. Kevin felt that the classical style was not suitable for Xu Xiaoqian and suggested he try rap style. Wan Xia thought Xu Xiaoqian had gone mad. Zhang Yuan and Wang Bo were rehearsing, but Xu Xiaoqian was acting crazy beside them, causing them to be unable to continue.
Kevin also thought Xu Xiaoqian had gone a bit insane and suggested he try a traditional Chinese style. Xu Xiaoqian said it was not easy for him and that he had been changing styles like a madman. Wan Xia felt that Xu Xiaoqian was indecisive and wouldn't achieve anything. Kevin asked Xu Xiaoqian if he had a partner, and Zhen Zhen, who was nearby, listened attentively. Xu Xiaoqian was about to sign a contract, but the contract didn't allow him to continue doing traditional Chinese comedy. Xu Xiaoqian was urged to make a decision and said he wanted to sign the contract.
Everyone knew that Xu Xiaoqian wanted to sing, and they all felt it was not right. Xu Xiaoqian said he wouldn't sing anymore, leaving everyone stunned. He expressed his love for traditional Chinese comedy and felt sad. Pei Zhi Jie also realized that he had misunderstood Xu Xiaoqian and suggested that he hold a music special, which made everyone happy.
