Flavour It’s Yours
Episode 5
Excuse me,
your John Collins.
Thanks.
Why do you think Lu Weixun still
makes no response?
Many people guess that
he doesn’t accept my challenge for fear of losing.
I don’t think so.
To be honest,
I’m the one who fears Mr. Lu’s
talent for taste.
Also,
I’ve been curious about something.
He said...
It’s you.
Aren’t I the psycho who followed you?
My apologies.
I misunderstood you that day.
Is this cup of wine made by you?
Is there anything wrong?
John Collins
is a drink with whisky base
plus lemon, syrup and soda.
Bartenders often focus on
the proportion of lemon and soda,
in order not to cover the mellow taste of whisky.
On the contrary, you added more lemon
and hid the mellow taste of whisky
behind the sour taste of lemon
and let it permeate the throat
when it reached there.
Am I right?
I just added one more piece of lemon.
Then make another one for me, please.
Since you know wine so well,
this one will be my treat.
Thank you.
What’s going on between
Lu Weixun and his dad?
How could one father trap his own son?
To be honest,
I’m the one who fears Mr. Lu’s
talent for taste.
Also,
I’ve been curious about something.
He said he wanted to be independent of his father,
but isn’t his talent for taste
exactly from his father?
Here and here.
Take it to my office after you correct them.
Okay.
Mi Ya,
this is the article I just edited
for tonight’s game.
Take it to my office
after you correct the places I marked.
Okay.
Why did you just write one article?
What’s wrong, Mi Ya?
You only wrote articles for Lu Weixun’s victory.
We’ll have nothing to publish if he loses.
Guys,
are the articles ready?
Mi Ya wants us to prepare articles
for Lu Weixun’s defeat.
Get back to your work first.
Mi Ya.
What do we do?
Write them now?
But there’s not enough time.
I have no idea.
Mi Ya,
I know you are
considering for our magazine,
but it’s really not necessary.
Chief Editor,
I’m well aware of Mu Chunfeng’s strength.
He’s not that simple.
Okay.
Hello, all fans of Weixun,
today our idol
will formally battle with Mu Chunfeng.
Are you excited?
Yes!
Now we’re at the door of Wanjia Hotel,
waiting eagerly for the magnificent entrance of our idol.
He’s here.
Lu Weixun! Lu Weixun! Lu Weixun!
Mr. Lu,
what’s your opinion
about this game?
Except for hoping it’ll end soon,
what opinion can I have?
Folks,
isn’t our idol handsome?
You didn’t open the door for me. I’ll deduct your salaries.
Are you disabled?
Can’t you do it yourself?
Lu Weixun is the focus
of attention at all times.
I hope he won’t be after this game.
I don’t want him to be always the focus of attention.
I’ll definitely make your dream come true.
May it be a happy collaboration, then.
What are you doing?
I’m nervous.
Are you having the game or me?
I’m being nervous for you.
Are you sure you’re gonna do that?
Why am I having a foreboding feeling?
Just don’t make trouble for me.
Can I go out for breath?
I’m short of breath in this room.
Don’t be long.
I’ll feel dizzy if you keep walking around here.
Yes.
Zhong,
it’s dirty here.
Brush it later.
Okay.
Mr. Wan. Mr. Wan. Mr. Wan.
What happened?
Are you alright?
I’m so sorry.
How could you run
on the hallway?
I’m okay.
Mr. Wan.
You know me?
It’s me,
He Buzui.
My dad
is He Wangyou.
Buzui.
You’ve grown up.
You know her?
This is my old friend’s daughter.
You’re a big girl now.
Mr. Wan, I’m sorry.
It’s my mistake.
Never mind.
I’m to blame.
I went up there myself.
Mr. Wan,
leave things of this kind to me, please.
Okay.
Oh God,
is this hotel yours?
I couldn’t do other things so I opened this small hotel.
I’m the same as I used to do
and prefer doing things myself.
Why are you here?
You’re staying here?
I’m here for the game.
I’m Lu Weixun’s assistant.
I’m kind of lost now.
You’re looking for the waiting room, right?
Walk straight
and turn right.
Thank you, Mr. Wan.
By the way,
go to see my dad if you’re free.
He misses you.
Okay.
Goodbye, Mr. Wan.
Mr. Wan, are you really okay?
Yes, I’m okay.
Mr. Lu.
It’s almost time for the game.
Mr. Lu.
Yong.
Buzui.
You’re here.
I’ve been worried sick.
You’re thinner.
You’ve suffered in your confinement, haven’t you?
I’m fine.
Everything is fine.
You don’t need to worry.
Where’s he?
Is he gonna molest Buzui again?
Up yours.
What nonsense.
That won’t happen even in TV plays.
Who’s the man inside?
Lu Weixun,
the son of the boss of a group.
How could he take a fancy to He Buzui?
Boss,
I don’t like that sort of remark.
Alright, alright,
she’s safe.
Don’t worry.
Only she will harass him but not the other way round.
Go.
That makes sense.
Wait for me.
Well,
there are two chances left after this one, right?
You think it’s too many or too few?
I...
Of course I hope we can break away soon.
Is it so painful to be kissed by me?
Certainly it’s awkward to be kissed by someone I don’t like.
You hate me so much?
Not much.
You bit me.
Are you a dog?
You wanna be fired?
Are there better ways
to deal with rascals like you?
Miss He,
you gotta understand.
People should have self-knowledge.
Whether it’s the process or the result of
the exchange of our senses of taste,
you are the one who get the advantage.
Keep the time when I’m on the stage.
My idol is here. My idol is here.
Lu Weixun! Lu Weixun is here!
Is that the manner of a top sommelier?
The temperament of a winner.
The chosen one.
Folks,
hit on the little heart
and I’ll give you prizes
after my idol wins the game.
This way, please.
Welcome our distinguished guests
and all media persons here.
I feel glad to gather here with you
to attend a feast
of wine evaluation industry,
the game between the excellent sommelier at home,
Mr. Lu Weixun, and Mr. Mu Chunfeng.
Let me introduce
the rules of this game first.
As you see,
there are fifty cups of wine
in front of each sommelier.
Next,
the sommeliers will taste them and
write their information on cards
which includes
their vintages and ingredients.
Whoever finishes first
will win the game.
Gentlemen,
are you ready?
Okay,
I announce that
our game begins now.
It’s a tight match.
Yes.
Look at them.
Their styles of tasting wine are in contrast to each other.
Mr. Mu is unhurried and steady.
Lu Weixun is quick and decisive.
Although Mu Chunfeng is slower,
on their scores,
he’s as accurate as Lu Weixun.
In games like this,
when the accuracy is the same,
what counts is the speed.
My idol drinks it.
Is it because it’s particularly good
or are there special reasons?
Cigar.
The tannin is strong.
The structure is huge and distinct.
This is it.
What’s the matter with Lu Weixun?
Lu Weixun slows down.
Mu Chunfeng is still steady.
He’s so consistent.
Cherry,
rose,
raspberry,
plum,
violet,
pepper.
How’s that possible?
It’s the third sip.
What are you doing?
You’re so close to victory.
How’s that possible?
There are two contrasting flavors.
No one has ever made blends like this.
What on earth is it?
What is it?
What on earth is it?
Wrong.
Not it.
Two contrasting flavors.
No one has ever made blends like this.
What on earth is it?
Thank you.
I announce that
the winner of this game
is Mr. Mu Chunfeng.
Congratulations.
Mr. Mu.
Here, Mr. Mu.
It has been rigged!
It’s absolutely been rigged!
Where the hell are you from?
How could you possibly defeat the sommelier of genius?
How much did your sugar daddy pay you?
I’ll double it!
Let go of me. Let go!
Don’t pull me.
I’ll double it!
Lu Weixun!
Lu Weixun, how could you lose?
It’s such an important game. How could you lose?
Watch out. Watch out.
It’s okay. You have my support.
Yes, mine, too.
We’ll always like you, Lu Weixun.
Let go of me. Let go!
Lu Weixun is gonna fall from the altar.
Mi Ya, let’s go.
We only prepared
articles for Lu Weixun’s victory.
Now Mu Chunfeng wins.
If we don’t go back and write another one now,
we’ll fall behind others.
I’ve prepared one in my mailbox.
You need to work hard tonight.
Stand there.
Learn that from her.
Can you be of use to me?
You’ll work overtime tonight.
Go.
Okay, Chief Editor.
My victory over Lu Weixun
is within expectation,
but it makes me...
it makes me
a bit surprised, too.
I believe you’ll have more and more fans.
Okay. Thank you.
You’ll do better in the future.
Thanks.
Thank you, everyone here.
See you around.
Hello.
The magazine.
Mr. Lu,
a call from the magazine.
Okay.
Hello.
You’re welcome.
It’s within expectation.
Make arrangements as we’ve agreed.
Okay.
Mr. Lu,
isn’t it a little bit...
What?
Cruel?
To be honest,
I didn’t want to do that.
He’s my son, after all.
But one day,
he’ll understand why I did it as his father.
I had to do it.
Go and tell Mu Chunfeng that
he doesn’t need to worry about that matter.
Yes.
Buzui!
Buzui.
Mr. Wan.
You’re leaving already?
I haven’t had a good chat with you yet.
I have work to do today.
Let’s chat later.
-Okay. -See you, Mr. Wan.
I told you that
you are mean and bad-tempered
and you’d be taught a lesson sooner or later.
I advise you to change them quickly,
but I bet you can’t.
Why do you follow me?
Now you’re following me.
This is my home.
You lost the game
and I kindly stay here to keep you company.
You are too ungrateful
to those who try to help you.
I know you hope I lose
like they do.
Yes.
I hope you lose.
You’re so petty and suspicious.
It serves you right.
Then why are you still here?
Go away right now.
Go.
Go!
Okay, I’ll go now!
I’ll be a dog if I stay here!
Weixun,
I’m leaving.
Where are you leaving for?
Aren’t you going home with me?
Why are you leaving?
Aren’t you proud of me?
Is it because I lost?
Are you leaving me behind?
Mom!
Hello,
my lady.
How could
someone be so hateful?
He’s so hateful,
but you still risked your life to protect him.
He hired me.
I did that for my salaries.
Do you get the money, then?
Not yet.
So
it isn’t because of money, is it?
Oh, then is it because
I like him?
You’re kidding me.
Are you really gonna leave him now
when he’s so dejected?
He kicked me out.
I didn’t ask to leave myself.
Besides, that’s what I wished.
Okay.
Then I’ll congratulate you on your escaping from the devil’s world.
Wait for me to return in triumph.
Okay, bye-bye.
Why are you here?
You asked me to.
Me?
I heard you calling me.
You need friends.
You need help.
I need no one.
No one can help me
except myself.
Get out of here.
You’re drunk.
Mi Di.
The world is big.
I will never see you again.
He doesn’t even say goodbye.
So unfeeling.
Oh no,
he didn’t kill himself, did he?
Lu Weixun!
You said you wouldn’t be drunk.
I catch you.
It was she who pretended not to pay attention.
Get up.
It stuck in my mind and then sprouted.
Words said a long time ago
enlarged slowly in my memories.
Promises and silence mingled.
It’s too cold on the ground.
Here, let me help you.
You’ll catch a cold.
Scenes that I hugged you
I’ll get you a quilt.
are just a variety show between two people.
Don’t leave.
I didn’t lose.
Dad hasn’t come back yet.
Don’t leave, Mom.
After being loved, hurt and pained,
I forgot and was soothed and healed.
But the scar was still there when things restarted.
I’m pursuing, protecting and fantasizing.
I promise you.
I won’t leave.
But I said
I’d be a dog if I stayed here.
Don’t go.
Forget about it.
Dogs are cute,
aren’t they?
Chief Editor.
Doctor Wine will terminate
the cooperation with Lu Weixun.
I have sent you the notice.
Print it for me.
Okay.
Come in.
What’s up?
Have you received my resignation?
I wanna know the reasons.
Lu Weixun’s failure led to his loss of value.
As his editor,
I should take responsibility
for the sake of the company.
How about this?
You can take a month’s leave.
We’ll talk again after you think it over.
I’ve made up my mind.
That’s not sure, is it?
Today will be the first day of your vacation.
Go.
Thanks, Chief Editor.
It’s a rare chance. Have a good time.
We disowned Mr. Lu?
Yes.
In that case,
this is
great news!
Something big happened.
Mi Ya offered her resignation.
Chief Editor didn’t agree
and let her take a month’s leave.
Paid.
Do you think
it’s too late for me to offer my resignation now?
Of course not.
But perhaps
you’ll be fired immediately.
Miss Mi,
you’re finally back.
The competition
had such an unexpected winner.
We hope you can deliver an article
to your official account.
Wine of our winery
would never be identified by Lu Weixun.
He’s no longer the sommelier
of genius that he was before.
We hope you can
make use of his defeat
and recommend our wine to the public.
Sorry.
I don’t advertise.
That’s alright.
You cannot recommend our winery.
But as long as you blacken Lu Weixun’s name,
I think we can negotiate over the price.
Sorry.
I don’t want to write that sort of stuff.
Miss Mi,
please consider it again.
Morning.
Break news.
The magazine, Doctor Wine, announced that it had ended
its cooperation with the sommelier of genius, Lu Weixun.
It is learned that the day before yesterday
the sommelier of genius, Lu Weixun,
was defeated by the up-and-coming star, Mu Chunfeng,
which broke Lu Weixun’s
unbeaten record.
The magazine, Doctor Wine,
is the barometer of sommeliers’ world.
Does its move mean
the age of Mu Chunfeng has come
and Lu Weixun’s name has been something of the past?
The media love exaggerating.
Don’t take it seriously.
You’ll lose if you do.
I’ve lost whether
I take it seriously or not.
Actually,
I’m at fault, too.
Maybe it’s because
I didn’t take care of your sense of taste.
Definitely.
I didn’t expect you would be so upset.
You said you were leaving.
Why are you still here?
Go away.
I’m leaving
but not now.
What do you mean?
Don’t leave.
I didn’t lose.
There’s a contract between us.
I have to do my jobs accordingly.
Besides, I haven’t got the money yet.
I drafted the contract.
I have rights to change it.
Still, I’m not leaving.
I haven’t paid off my debts yet.
I don’t need that.
I’ve lost.
You mean nothing to me.
You’re talking nonsense.
You just lost a game.
Must you be like this?
I don’t allow failure in my life.
Can you pull yourself together?
Being defeated by
a small fish whom no one knew before,
can you really accept it?
You lost
just because of too much pressure and shortage of time.
Can’t you give yourself another chance?
As I reckoned,
Ricard is the real French taste.
Mr. Lu.
Thanks for your hard work.
Good job.
You flatter me, Mr. Lu.
There’s something that puzzles me.
You mean that cup of blended wine?
Yes.
-Is it... -It’s my order.
Are you feeling pity for me?
Have I ended up
like that already?
I don’t need your pity.
Know something about yourself.
Go away.
