If The Voice Has Memory Episode 15 Recap
> If The Voice Has Memory Recap
After a night of deep thought, Yu Luxi went to Fengling class early the next morning to ask her master, Lin Nan, for leave. She confessed that she didn't think she was cut out for voice acting and wanted a few days off to readjust herself. Although she said she was taking a vacation, it was implicitly her way of withdrawing from Fengling class.
Understanding Yu Luxi's confusion, Lin Nan did not refuse her request but asked her to go somewhere with him before she left. Lin Nan took Yu Luxi to meet a master in the voice acting world, Dr. Ouyang, who was formerly known as Thousand Birds Moon, a legendary voice actress. Yu Luxi had known of Thousand Birds Moon for a long time but had never met her, and there had been no news of her for years.
Yu Luxi had expected Dr. Ouyang to live in a grand villa, but Lin Nan brought her to a secondary hospital. Dr. Ouyang was now a chief physician there, leading Yu Luxi to wonder why she had abandoned her voice acting career. Dr. Ouyang explained that in her era, voice acting couldn't support a family, and with limited opportunities, her father and boyfriend didn't support her, leading her to quit.
She encouraged Yu Luxi to persevere with her dreams, emphasizing that the 21st century offered many opportunities, and with a good master like Lin Nan, Yu Luxi had a great starting point and would succeed if she didn't let reality defeat her. Dr. Ouyang’s words made Yu Luxi re-evaluate her dream. Meanwhile, at Fengling, the other students struggled with their practice for the upcoming Echo List competition.
With Yu Luxi absent, they felt disorganized and uninspired, acknowledging that she was the reason they had all come together in the first place. One student commented, "We were able to gather again because of Yu Luxi, but now she's not here." Another added that he finally got to voice the "younger sister" character, but couldn't find joy in it.
Liang Yiyi informed her brother, Liang Yichuan, that she had been invited to be a judge for the Echo List competition. She expressed a desire to prove herself, especially since Yu Luxi had taken over her role in "Lu Yao," and she wanted to see Yu Luxi's true capabilities. Liang Yichuan hesitated, subtly reminding his sister that as a senior in the voice acting field, she should embody both virtue and art, and avoid letting personal grudges affect her judgment.
He also learned from Yiyi that Yu Luxi had begun stuttering, making him concerned. Yu Luxi resumed her quiet life, working part-time at a coffee shop and showcasing her two-dimensional art. She often reminisced about her time in the Fengling training class. One day, Liang Yichuan came to the coffee shop. Learning that Yu Luxi was on vacation, he cordially invited her to consider joining Youlong studio. Yu Luxi politely declined, stating she wanted to take time to adjust herself.
Later, Yu Luxi's younger brother, Yu Xiaotian, revealed that Lin Nan had visited their home the day Yu Luxi had the incident where she stuttered, confirming Lin Nan was aware of her condition and worried about her. The night before the Echo List competition, Lin Nan messaged Yu Luxi asking if she would still participate, but she confirmed she was going on a trip with her father.
The next day, while on the tour bus, she received a crucial voice message from Lin Nan. He confessed why he had been unwilling to reveal his identity as Mai Da for so long. He explained that his illness had affected his voice, and the voice of the original Mai Da was gone, making him fear disappointing his fans. He said he hadn't dared to face it until he met Yu Luxi, who helped him understand the meaning of perseverance.
He declared that he would now pick up the microphone again and strive to reclaim his former self, embracing his current voice, even if it wasn't perfect. Lin Nan's words deeply moved Yu Luxi. Overwhelmed with emotion, she listened to his message in tears, realizing the depth of his sacrifice and inspiration.
Determined not to let her master down again, she immediately asked the driver to stop the tour bus and rushed off, resolute in her decision to participate in the competition. Her father got out of the bus, cheering her on, "Daughter, keep going! You are the best!" Upon Yu Luxi's arrival at the competition venue, the Fengling team members were overjoyed and rallied around her. They unanimously suggested that Yu Luxi should resume her role as "younger sister" and compete.
Zhou Na voiced concerns, arguing that it was too risky for Yu Luxi to take on such a big role in her first major competition, especially given her recent struggles with stuttering. She warned Lin Nan that emotional decisions could lead to failure and public humiliation for Yu Luxi. However, Lin Nan, full of confidence in his apprentice, decided to trust her and agreed to let her perform the "younger sister" role. The competition then officially began, introducing the participating teams, including Youlong and Fengling, and welcoming Liang Yiyi as a judge, who then performed a classic dubbing segment.
