Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 703 - 441: Europe Also Has Conservatives and Reformists!
This article is from the famous German music critic "X.Y".
It coincidentally hit at the highest point of the Keller Cup's second stage.
Upon its release, it stirred a huge commotion on Twitter.
As netizens from various countries read this excerpt, they commented passionately:
[(Well said! This is practically an information cocoon of the contemporary music world!)]
[(Indeed! Before this competition, I had never even heard the name Moonlight and Cat!)]
[(How pathetic! Such an outstanding Oriental musician, and we are the last to know!)]
[(How could our arrogance not lead to losing the competition?)]
[...]
Running in parallel to this.
Is Moonlight and Cat's "Turkish March," whose live competition footage is continuously dominating YouTube.
When Gan Yanyu, dressed in a white gown, performed on stage with a confident and composed smile, playing joyfully with her partner.
Before the competition even began, a group of cellists suddenly appeared in the audience, paying a sincere tribute to the duo.....
Every iconic moment deeply shocked netizens worldwide.
In just a day, it quickly garnered over 8 million plays and more than 100,000 comments!
[(How can they be so incredible... Damn! This girl's cello playing is not even inferior to Isaac!)]
[(The boy's talent is in no way less than Nishikawa Yuubei!! This "Turkish March" is just so wonderful! I'm completely addicted!)]
[(And the most crucial thing is... they are only 19 years old!!)]
[(I've long known how competitive high school students in Tian Chao are... damn, have they reached this level of competition? Competing in world championships at 19??)]
Who are these two people?
Why are they so incredible?
Good heavens! Do they have other works?!
... Such questions arose.
And just at that moment, X.Y's article was published.
Not only did it quickly introduce everyone to this musical duo from Tian Chao, but more importantly, it practically awakened everyone!
Why... are we the last to know?
Why, wasn't classical music originally a European genre?
How did we get outdone by people from other countries in a field we used to excel in?
....
The gravity of these questions far exceeds the significance of contestants named Gan Yanyu and Lin Tian winning first place in their group in the second stage.
These were the critical issues that blogger "X.Y" bluntly pointed out -
The system issue.
This was previously a touchy topic within the International Music Association.
Now, however, it has been first highlighted by a German Twitter blogger.
—— It's our system that's flawed!!
When this sentence appeared in the article.
Almost all the widespread music workers who saw this article gasped.
[You dare to say it!]
In the article,
X.Y continues to incisively point out:
[It's precisely because we've gradually abandoned those seemingly outdated and untrendy music styles, including classical music, for the sake of competition traffic and popularity, that we've failed!
In our excessive pandering to young people, we've practically abandoned everything we used to be good at!
Isolating ourselves, disregarding music from other regions, always immersing in our own art..... 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Short-sighted and arrogant!
This "Turkish Music" came as a slap to our faces!
Everyone, it's time to wake up!
Still overly obsessed with pop music? Still mindlessly resisting classical music?
Gan Yanyu and Lin Tian, these two Oriental contestants, have already proved with their strength that as long as the music is good, it will always be recognized.
How much longer will we be deceived by the International Music Association?!
...]
This article, lauded as the Yi Lin of 21st-century Europe.
Was not only regarded as new truth by numerous music fans.
But among many music practitioners, it is practically worshipped like a bible.
Its most impressive feature is that it completely steps outside the framework of the Keller Cup.
The entire article doesn't once discuss cellos, nor does it talk about the Keller Cup's competition standings.
Instead, it completely focuses on issues no one was willing to ponder before - the system issue!
After X.Y's article was published,
Many famous scholars and critics in the music world joined the discussion.
The editor-in-chief of the famous American music media New York Music Newspaper stated:
[(When the competition format was initially changed, I truly thought the push for popularizing music competitions was a very cool decision, and it turned out we succeeded. In nearly 20 years, global music competition audience numbers have multiplied by at least 60 times, and the average age of audiences has decreased from 45 to the current 26.
However, as time goes on, although our competitions have thrived, our musical development has faced issues, anti-traditional classical music has reached fanatical levels! Competitions should serve music, and we cannot put the cart before the horse!)]
International Music Association's renowned young scholar Stephen tweeted:
[(This year's Keller Cup viewership has reached the highest in centuries. As a cello competition, today's global relevance is almost rivaling America's "NBA"!
As we approach the goal of "everyone watching music," shouldn't we also consider refocusing more of our attention back on music itself?!)]
Even those practically unrelated to the music world have voiced their opinions.
A German bishop from the Qingdu Church, one of Europe's five major religions, expressed excitedly:
[Lin Tian from Tian Chao is sent by God to punish you arrogant musicians. How can a 19-year-old create so many musical masterpieces within a year... Clearly, this is a miracle! A miracle!!
