Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 688 - 433: Is This "Lin Tian" The Same "Lin Tian"?_2
The oppressive feeling of immense depth converged all power at a single point. Just as the audience thought the music was about to lead them into a abyss with such heavy steps, it suddenly burst forth!
.....The rhapsody’s whimsy, improvisation, and freedom, at this moment, were fully expressed.
"(What a terrifying dominance!)"
Below the stage, many cellists couldn’t help but grit their teeth and exclaim.
If Isaac’s cello were to be described — it would be like a giant!
Tall as a giant, stifling as a giant, making it hard for one to breathe.
Just raising one’s head to witness such a performance is enough to bring despair.
Ordinary humans, in front of them, are like ants; the tiny humans glance over and can’t find any weakness.
When there is a vast difference in stature, it is futile, no matter how one tries to find the other’s flaws.
...
Finally, Isaac and Nishikawa Yuubei stood up together, walked to the front of the stage, and bowed.
In less than a minute, the judges had already made their assessment, and then the broadcast announced their score:
"(Isaac Meck, 98.42 points)"
"(Current ranking: Group A, first place)"
As the broadcast sounded, many in the audience exclaimed:
"(The first score of 98 appeared!)"
Among the previously appearing 19 contestants from Groups A and B, the highest was only 96.51 points, and only 5 contestants exceeded 96 points.
With Isaac’s performance, the score for first place was immediately raised above 98!
"(No wonder Isaac is the favorite to win in this competition.)"
Connor was shocked.
With Isaac’s performance finished, the pressure on subsequent contestants was extraordinary.
Just who will the next unlucky performer be.....
When Brian’s image appeared on the big screen, many cellists were stupefied again.
Another tough character!
Chupnos Brian, a pioneer cellist in American contemporary pop music.
In an era where pop music is increasingly important, Brian practically redefined pop music with the cello, winning the national cello competition in America.
Though it’s rumored that Brian is arrogant and often judges people based on their background,
it doesn’t change the fact that his skill surpasses most cellists here.
"(Just.....)"
Even knowing Brian was up next, Connor still held little hope.
This arena boasts many powerful cellists.
"(Even for Brian, having witnessed such a performance just now, his mindset must be affected as well.)"
...
Brian stepped onto the stage.
Looking down from here, many in the audience had eyes filled with either worry or complex emotions.
Brian understood these looks.
He knew these people were worried about his condition due to Isaac’s earlier performance.
More people were watching him with a mindset of wanting to see a show.
However—
He planned to disappoint them.
Brian smiled inwardly, then sat down on the chair.
They completely misunderstood.
The pride inherent in Chupnos Brian!
"....." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
The cello sounded.
As the music arose, the audience immediately reacted.
Such confident sound of the cello!
Almost as soon as the melody started and the bow touched the strings.
The flamboyant and surging rhythm of the "Texas Fifth Dance" immediately swept through the Golden Hall.
How beautiful!
Backstage, Connor and Paines were stunned.
It was completely unaffected!
What kind of mindset is this?!
At this moment,
Brian’s body was seated on stage, playing.
Yet the audience, in a trance, saw Brian wearing formal attire, standing on the stage, elegantly moving to the rhythm.
Confident, flamboyant figure.
Like a proud dancer, indifferent to everything around, he merely wanted to sway his body and show his charm to everyone.
So strong!
The audience exclaimed in their minds.
At the moment, not to mention how enchanting the song is.
The aura exuded from Brian alone was enough to captivate people.
....
Backstage.
Even Gan Yan Yu slightly widened his eyes at this moment.
"Huh....."
"What’s wrong?" Lin Tian asked.
"Thought he was a fool... but unexpectedly strong?"
"Indeed."
Lin Tian agreed.
Although teasing Gan Yan Yu with a joke about accidentally handing Brian tissue paper during a restroom mishap.
Brian indeed presented himself as a bit of a goof.
Almost like a typical character out of an anime.
Arrogant, unruly.
Annoying.
But unlike ordinary clowns.
The more ordinary clowns show such behavior, the more it indicates their inner emptiness and fragility.
But Brian’s arrogance seems genuine.
His pride truly stems from his bones, pride in his background and music.
Moreover, he can convert this pride into his unique charisma.
Therefore, even after Isaac’s performance scored a high 98, he could unfazedly start his performance.
Because he simply doesn’t care.
Whether it be Isaac or other cellists.
He’s so annoying.....
Lin Tian thought with a smile.
Yet, despite everything, he still loathed people like Brian.
As the music ended.
Brian walked to the front of the stage and bowed graciously to the audience.
The hall erupted with thunderous applause.
Soon, the broadcast announced:
"(Chupnos Brian, 97.31 points.)"
"(Current ranking: Group B, first place.)"
Immediately, a wave of exclamations burst from the audience.
"(Fantastic... under such pressure, he could still score 97!)"
"(Though slightly lacking, his personal charisma was fully displayed!)"
"(Already impressive, this is just the second round, who knows who will win the finals!)"
The audience started discussing.
Back-to-back explosive performances had brought the atmosphere in the Golden Hall to its peak.
Backstage cellists, some eager to challenge, were itching to perform, while others, despairing from watching these performances, almost felt like withdrawing on the spot!
Why does it have to be two such monstrous cellists appearing together?!
As cellists, they already knew that the gap in talent is not easily bridged.
They were trying their best to ignore this fact with more effort, attempting to diminish this gap.
But had not anticipated witnessing such performances before their own.
This is torturous!
If they remembered correctly.
Isaac, born in ’88.
Brian, born in ’95.
Both were young yet delivered divine performances in the Golden Hall.
The mere talent revealed at this age was enough to cause blackouts.
Now, rather than despair.
They had an even more curious mindset.
—The next contestant.
Who will be the next contestant?
After two divine performances, can the next cellist truly perform?
Everyone thought so before Brian stepped on stage.
Unexpectedly, Brian turned out to be another monster, self-assured to the extreme....
Then for the next contestant, facing this dual pressure.
Won’t they tremble?!
Many cellists, just by imagining, felt extremely terrified.
...
"(Next contestant, Gan Yanyu.)"
As the broadcast voice sounded.
Suddenly, many people fell silent for a second.
In the 4th rest room, the cellists watched as a man and a woman walked out.
The name sounded so familiar....
People remembered.
Wasn’t this the cellist pointed out by a black dude during the qualifiers as a "relationship briber"?
Now, the relationship bribe goes on stage at this moment?
Many Western cellists, who had long disliked them, couldn’t help but gloat at this moment.
And at this moment, Paines, who was staring at the list, furrowed his brow, feeling something was amiss.
He leaned over, showing the list to Connor, inquiring:
"(Look at this accompanist’s name... is this the ’LinTian’ you mentioned?)"
