Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 727 - 452 Steven - Open Targeting!_2
Not only did he achieve first place in his group, but he also directly influenced the position of a new competition system that has lasted for over 20 years.
On the internet, voices began to question the new competition system, questioning whether the Europe-dominated world music structure could truly make world music better.
This is the first major upheaval in over 20 years since the reformation of the International Music Association.
Obviously,
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu... are terrifying!
They must not be allowed to continue!
If they continue, this will no longer be a simple matter of a Keller Cup championship.
By that time, the hard-earned world music structure could very likely be completely demolished by these two under-20 young people!
This is not only the sentiment of many cellists but also a recent sentiment shared by many in the World Music Association.
So.....
They must be stopped!
And at this time, who could deal the most severe blow to Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu?
Steven Kaou.
This ancient god, an important founder of the world music structure, and a great classical musician.
Only he can take on this role!
So,
Under the eager gaze of many in the world music world, Steven has arrived!
This is something that almost every musician can see.
Steven—came specifically for Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu!
.....
"(This time, Gan Yanyu is really doomed.....)"
"(I can't imagine how they will be mercilessly crushed by Teacher Steven's judgment today.)"
"(It's terrifying... Teacher Steven is notoriously strict. Gan Yanyu being eliminated is a minor thing... I'm afraid the rest of us are also in for a rough time.)"
The cellists were speculating, and some had already started to preemptively mourn for Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, the classical musicians from Tian Chao.
No mockery, no schadenfreude.
Mostly, there was a feeling of "relief."
Luckily, Steven came.
Luckily... Luckily...
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu can finally leave this stage.
Having gone through the second stage of the competition, a portion of the cellists had developed a genuine fear of these two 19-year-olds.
Even though they could now foresee them losing the competition, there was still a lingering fear.
Thankfully, Mr. Steven is here!
.....
"Did you see that... Isaac?"
Nishikawa Yuubei patted Isaac on the shoulder, 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"It's Teacher Steven, Gan Yanyu, and Lin Tian should have no way of getting a good result this time!"
At this moment, his expression was also complicated.
He certainly wanted to face Lin Tian directly, but the sudden appearance of Steven brought a change that no one could have altered.
"We might win without even having to act." Nishikawa Yuubei sighed.
"....Boring."
Isaac just said indifferently, removing Nishikawa Yuubei's hand.
He didn't even glance at the big screen, just said softly,
"I'm not interested in what pieces they play, or how the judges will treat them."
"I just want that woman to die."
Isaac looked at Gan Yanyu and said word by word,
"Let her, and her performance, die....."
"...."
Nishikawa Yuubei stared at him blankly, unable to utter a single word.
...
...
The first contestant took the stage.
When the Australian cellist Meyer stepped onto the stage, everyone clearly realized—
The finals of the Keller Cup had officially begun.
"The first contestant to take the stage is quite a heavyweight."
Zhang Dong said in his live stream to the audience,
"The famous Australian 'Father of the Cello' Sun Bennett Meyer... if I remember correctly, his score in the second stage was 96.45, ranking fourth in Group B."
"This is really a very good score, not many contestants scored above 96 in the second stage..... Meyer is definitely a contender for the championship!"
The competition had just begun, and the first to take the stage was such a strong contestant, naturally igniting the audience's passion.
[Cellist Bennett... I know him! The greatest cellist in Australian history!]
[Is this Meyer really the grandchild of that master? The fact that his grandson could make it to the Keller Cup finals proves it's truly a cello family!]
[If I remember correctly, Bennett's status in the World Music Association is very high.... It's said that he's in a managerial level within the association too.]
[Oh god, his grandfather works at the International Music Association?! Doesn't that mean he'll get bonus points?]
[Damn, I even thought of the song name, "My Music Association Council Grandpa".....]
In the live stream, many fans who have been part of the music circle for years immediately started providing insight to others.
The more information was shared, the more outrageous it seemed to everyone.
Why is that?
How can someone have an International Music Association higher-up as a grandpa right out of the gate?
Our Miss Cat still has to play classical music like a street rat, everyone calling for her head.
It's truly infuriating to compare people like this!
But, no matter how much is said, it doesn't help.
The actual situation will still depend on other's performances!
....
Soon, Bennett Meyer began his performance on stage.
As the impressive and passionate music started playing, the audience's eyes lit up.
"Wonderful!"
He Shumo said seriously,
"A very classic piece of modern pop music, with a bit of jazz elements added in."
Meyer brought a pop music piece that requires a high level of skill.
Amidst a fast-paced rhythm, it really tested the cellist's technique and was also a very engaging piece for the audience.
Not only was the music pleasing to the ear, but it was also accessible to the general public's aesthetic.
Moreover, the fast bow movement and well-timed string techniques provided a fantastic visual experience for the audience.
Suddenly, the audience was deeply attracted.
Some even happily swayed along with their children.
"Damn!! This is too much like cheating!!"
Zhang Dong shouted angrily,
"How can there be such blatant performances that get full marks?! This is too obvious, right?!"
Modern pop music genre.
The perfectly blended virtuoso performance.
Stage effects that were engaging enough for the audience to follow the rhythm.
At the same time, it combined: being enjoyable, visually appealing, and having the correct musical genre.
"This is like a shameless point-scoring machine!!"
Zhang Dong cursed.
What kind of strong version just adds all the elements into it?
Who raises their score like this?!
Zhang Dong was infuriated, especially with Steven's joining today, which targeted Miss Cat openly and was already frustrating enough.
And yet, such a point-hog appeared!
What's more, the opponent even had the background of an International Music Association grandpa; this kind of performance... really leaves no room for complaint!!
As long as he solidified his live performance and added this background.
This Meyer... ending up with at least a medal, or even directly winning the championship, wouldn't be surprising!
However, no matter how much Zhang Dong cursed, it was nothing but powerless rage. He sat in his live stream room, unable to do anything.
As the music finished playing, Meyer's performance concluded.
The on-site judges quickly started the scoring process.
Just like the second stage.
The finals also adopted the method of on-site performance with immediate scoring.
However, one difference was,
The final's immediate scoring would not announce the scores of the high-scoring contestants.
When a contestant's score exceeded a certain threshold, it would be hidden until all the performances were complete and then the champion revealed.
This hidden score threshold is generally assumed to be "above 97 points."
Soon, in less than 20 seconds, the scoring process was completed.
On the broadcast, the host announced the result.
"Bennett Meyer, final score is:"
"89.31 points."
....
"This is... fake, right?"
These words left Zhang Dong completely dumbfounded.
The entire assembly of cellists was in an uproar.
Steven... what exactly is he trying to do?
