Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 692 - 435: Gan Yanyu, Final Score! _2

[(Is this what those Asian netizens called "Moonlight and Cat"? This is way too exaggerated.....)]

[(Even more terrifying is, why were we never aware of such a formidable opponent before? No wonder those Eastern netizens are so frantic!)]

.....

For netizens from various countries watching the live broadcast, the shock they felt was no less than Japan’s black ship incident!

It was like having their national doors blasted open with a cannon, forcing them to start looking at the world.

In their eyes, everything used to revolve around the West. The greatest works, the greatest musicians, all came from the West. Even the rules of competitions, the trends of world music, were under their control.

What kind of music is correct, what kind of music can represent world music.

The ultimate interpretation lay with them.

But now.

The two Tian Chao musicians in front of them have completely shattered their beliefs.

Why?

Why are they unfamiliar musicians, playing unfamiliar pieces, offering music they consider the most melodious on this stage?

This is unbelievable!

Moreover, the pieces they played were in their style—Turkish. The classical march was once the pinnacle genre in Europe, but it has now been abandoned by them.

This was like performing on their land, in the style they’ve given up, violating the rules they set—then blasting them away!

This is even more outrageous than NTR, it’s simply a huge disgrace!

Many netizens were so triggered that they ranted in the comments, claiming such a piece should not score well in the Keller Cup.

However, as music lovers, more people have clearer eyes.

To be honest, seeing Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu perform like this, anyone with a normal worldview and aesthetic sense.

Who could say any blame-worthy words?

Thus, a vast majority of netizens felt anger!

Anger towards the rules set by contemporary World Music Association, towards these European cellists who have been stagnant for over a decade.

If not for the black ship event, no one would have known that outside this world, there are works like the "Turkish March," and cellists like Gan Yanyu.

As more Asian netizens appeared in the comments, they started fervently educating overseas viewers about Moonlight and Cat’s works.

More works started surfacing online—

"Fate Symphony," "Can Can," "Blue Danube".....

Many works had actually been heard by these music lovers when they browsed videos on certain websites long ago.

They thought it sounded great back then, just never knew the title. Now they’re astonished to find out....

These classical music pieces that slowly fermented online over the past year came from the same author!

And that author, is Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu on the stage!

More and more information and materials were being uncovered on Twitter and YouTube.

From Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, from "Ode to Love" to "Turkish March."

Many netizens’ minds were buzzing.

Only one thought remained in their heads—

Damn it, we were fooled!!

...

Finally,

The joyful rhythm has come to an end.

As Lin Tian struck the last chord, Gan Yanyu’s cello bow slid across the final string, pointing towards the ceiling of the Golden Hall, her long hair flowing with a touch of sweat.

The music came to a close!

Lin Tian was gasping for air, with sweat covering his forehead. Gan Yanyu slowly leveled her gaze, looking towards the audience.

At this moment,

In Vienna’s Golden Hall, no one made a sound, it was silent.

Still trapped by the inertia of the shock from the performance, everyone’s pupils were wide open, merely trembling as they watched Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.

Until the young audience with cellos in the back row started applauding first.

The applause from the entire audience followed! The audience looked joyous, genuinely surprised, applauding these two young performers. The child who clapped during the performance now clapped along with the adults, almost turning their hands red from clapping.

"Bravo...!"

A cellist with a Caucasian face in the back row, somehow learned Chinese, shouted, bringing the atmosphere in the Golden Hall to its peak.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu exchanged a glance, the girl beaming with a bright smile, Lin Tian also smiled.

This is the first concert in the Golden Hall...

Lin Tian’s heart was stirred.

When he first got on stage, the air here felt crisp, making him nervous and excited.

But when the performance truly ended... it seemed just like that.

Compared to the Baijing International Music Hall, Qingtian Music Hall, or even Sir Gan’s cafe, Lin Tian’s living room... it seemed no different.

Though it wasn’t that Vienna’s Golden Hall couldn’t compare to Lin Tian’s shabby sofa.

Just....

Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu, and the girl’s gaze forward seemed to shine with light.

In that moment, Lin Tian suddenly realized.

All these dazzling moments would one day transform into the chalk dust of a high school classroom, and with a blow of the wind, it would scatter away.

The only unchanging thing would be Gan Yanyu, always by his side.

Always accompany!

...

With the performance over, it was time for the scoring session.

The judges’ panel usually gave scores even before the musicians thanked the audience, but for Gan Yanyu, they unexpectedly took a bit longer.

A crowd of elderly white male judges kept conferring, exchanging thoughts, with some even frowning.

Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but feel anxious.

This "Turkish March," theoretically, was very much in line with the current International Music Association standards, and both his and Gan Yanyu’s performance definitely adhered to the association’s "appease young people’s aesthetics" standard. But he couldn’t guarantee that these stubborn foreign judges wouldn’t nitpick and target them just because they played a "classical march."

Seeing the elders talking for so long.

Lin Tian began to worry about Gan Yanyu’s mental state, he turned to look at Gan Yanyu.

As a result, she stared at the elders in the judges’ seats for a moment.

"Pfft—"

She couldn’t help but laugh on stage.

After realizing the cameras were on her, Gan Yanyu quickly covered her little mouth.

"...."

Lin Tian stood there dumbfounded.

Seeming to sense Lin Tian’s gaze, Gan Yanyu rolled her eyes to the side, then turned back.

She whispered:

"Don’t you think this scene is particularly similar to what we encountered at the Dragon Violin Cup?"

Lin Tian immediately realized that Gan Yanyu was talking about when they played "Moonlight" at the semifinals of the Dragon Violin Cup.

That piece left the judges dumbfounded, with the old men frowning and conferring, looking at Gan Yanyu as if she were a plague.....

Compared to now, it really isn’t any different! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The only difference is the venue has changed to the Golden Hall and the local elders have become foreign elders.

"Pfft!"

Lin Tian couldn’t hold back, and also laughed.

Alright, the young Mr. Gan now could maintain a sense of humor on stage.

This mindset, even the current Lin Tian might not match!

"(The scores for contestant Gan Yanyu will now be announced)."

As the host’s voice rang out,

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu immediately stood up straight, adjusting their expressions.

There’s one thing that must be admitted.

The Keller Cup’s mechanism of scoring immediately after each round is quite thrilling.

Moreover, it’s not just for the contestants.

But especially for those fools....

The face-slapping effect should be very impressive.

Lin Tian thought to himself as the host’s voice rang out again:

"(In this performance, Gan Yanyu scored 98.15)"

"(Currently ranked: First in Group B!!)"
