When they were sixteen, Zhao Zhifei and Yu Lihan accidentally took each other's MP3 players.
By chance, he heard the first original song she'd hidden on hers. When he returned it the next day, he said only one thing, with earnest sincerity: "It's really good."
Back then, she went by "Nanzhi," an unknown newcomer in the music scene. He was an ordinary high school student who dreamed of making films. They made a student short film together called After Midsummer, and even made a promise: Someday, I'll make movies, and you'll write the songs for them.
But when Zhao Zhifei was seventeen, an upheaval suddenly forced her to leave the country. For the next twelve years, they never truly saw each other again.
She went from Barcelona to London, becoming the internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter "Beizhi." He went from film school to the spotlight, becoming a Best Actor, and finally made his first film.
At twenty-nine, they reunited on the creative variety show Between Sound and Image.
During the blind listening segment, none of the guests knew who Musician Number Seven was.
But the moment Yu Lihan heard her sing the first line, he recognized her.
Twelve years ago, they hadn't had the chance to confess their feelings.
Twelve years later, they no longer tried to return to the past. Instead, they got to know the grown-up versions of each other all over again.
This time, if they wanted to meet, they'd ask. If they wanted to love, they'd say so.
A reunion was never about making up for the twelve years they'd lost.
It was about finally hearing each other, then walking together toward a new future.
Theme: As they pursue what they love and grow into themselves, they learn to face the past and cherish those who are still willing to move toward them.
