My girlfriend is a cellist

Chapter 149: Por Una Cabeza

Forced calm?

Not
If you have this skill, why don't you give it to Gan Yanyu? Why give it to me?!

Don’t you know who needs to stay calm more during a game? !

The skill that is most suitable for Gan Yanyu fell into Lin Tian's hands.

Forced calmness is not a strong thing, but it is also not a weak thing.

Because Lin Tian could do it before.

However, because it is easy to get everywhere and the usage scenarios are relatively limited, it can usually only be used by one person in a room, and it would be best if there is a pack of tissues next to it.

Even if Lin Tian wanted to use it on stage, morality and the rule of law probably would not allow it.

Men feel inferior when they see it, women become greedy, and no one listens to the performance carefully.

But it’s different if you have skills, there are no restrictions in this regard.

This skill is very powerful if it can be used on stage.

During the performance, if you feel that your emotions are not right, you can use it to refresh your state and complete the performance in a more rational manner.

this point is very important.

When playing with a mentally ill person like Gan Yanyu, it is easy to get dragged down with your spirit and reason. Having a [Forced Calm] is like having a life-saving insurance.

However, this skill cannot be used casually.

Sometimes, performance requires a certain level of emotional immersion. If you force yourself to remain calm at the climax, it may ruin the entire piece of music.

The details depend on the usage scenario.

"."

Only then did Lin Tian realize that there was no additional theme for this mission.

But there is one requirement: 98% satisfaction among the audience.

Are the judges also considered as audience?

That is to make almost all the audience, including the judges, feel satisfied.

It's hard.

Not to mention music, everyone has different tastes and it is impossible to satisfy everyone. The judges on site are also complex.

There are also guys like Tuoba Jianhui who clearly expressed that he doesn't like Gan Yanyu.

Lin Tian thought for a while.

We must come up with a song that is "hard enough" and can allow Gan Yanyu to fully demonstrate her strength.
Moreover, it cannot be too "deep" and cannot be as obscure as the Cello Concerto in E Minor. It is necessary to ensure that all the audience present can feel the emotions contained in it.

How to choose
Lin Tian was in a dilemma.

It is so easy to write an essay with a given topic. Given the required emotions, it becomes easier for Lin Tian to find music.

Without a proposition, Lin Tian became hesitant.

After all, this is a piece of music to be performed at the Parrot Cup, and it is a matter of great importance, so Lin Tian dare not act carelessly.

It’s like, if Lin Tian could come up with a new song at the Star Cup, a song with a less extreme style, the ending might really be different.

Based on He Zhichen's later data analysis.

At that time, Gan Yanyu was just a little bit away from winning the championship.

Although the final conclusion barely made Gan Yanyu optimistic again, losing the championship was already a fact, and she still felt sad and helpless when she thought about it.
and many more,

Almost?
This feeling
Lin Tian suddenly had an idea.

Got it!

He quickly wrote down the name of the song in his notebook.

"Por Una Cabeza".

This song is quite interesting.

It was first composed by Argentinian composer Carlos Gardel and poet Alejandro Rodrigo Villoldo in 1935.

This is a very famous tango music. It was originally a song, but was later adapted into instrumental music by countless people.

Its beautiful melody and unique tango rhythm are absolutely timeless even in 2024, and are still popular among young people.

As Moonlight and Cats fans love to mention:
According to the release rules of a deep track, an upbeat music.

The next song is also the music that the public likes.

This song will surely satisfy them.

The next day, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu met in a coffee shop for recording.

"."

“~” Almost as soon as the melody of the song sounded.

After trying to pull it for a while, the girl's face immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Lin Tian, ​​this new song you wrote is so interesting! What's its name?"

“Por Una Cabeza.”

Seeing Gan Yanyu’s expression, Lin Tian knew that he had chosen the right song.

This song not only has an interesting melody, but also has a somewhat dark sense of humor in its story.

In the earliest version with lyrics, the song describes a gambler's attitude towards life.

This gambler compares life to horse racing, and every time he bets on the horse, he is just one step away from winning the race.

The name "por una cabeza" means "just one step away."

The lyrics are full of irony and self-mockery, showing the gambler's optimistic yet helpless mentality when facing the difficulties of always being "one step short" in life.

Actually,
Lin Tian wrote this song to encourage Gan Yanyu.

Be optimistic, there is still a long way to go in life.

Although we missed the Star Cup, we still have the Parrot Cup. Even if we lose the Parrot Cup, we are still young.

It is full of sadness, passion, nostalgia, irony and other emotions.

Only by playing it yourself can you understand the emotions behind it.

"Let's try it."

Lin Tian came to the piano.

"There's something even more interesting!"

"."

Simply set the scene.

The recording device is turned on.

It has been a long time since I last recorded anything, and Lin Tian felt a little unfamiliar in front of the camera.

"Ok?"

Lin Tian asked from a distance.

"Okay." Gan Yanyu nodded.

"."

As the girl plucked the strings.

The beautiful cello sounded and the duo's duet began.

This piece of music was originally supposed to be performed mainly by the violin, and the whole piece would have a very "sexy" feeling.

After Lin Tian modified it into a cello version, while retaining some of the "sexy" flavor, the emotions became richer.

After a beautiful piece of music ended.

Lin Tian played the piano.

With the addition of piano——

The whole song, at this moment, is sublimated!

A change of tune begins, and an exciting and passionate melody sounds at this moment!

The piano and cello rise in pitch at the same time, interweaving together.

At this moment, the entire cafe seemed to have turned into a dance hall.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, holding hands, perform a passionate dance
In this dance, the two people enjoy the melody together and feel each other's heartbeat.

Without speaking or words, you can know what the other person is feeling and thinking.

Everything around turned into petals, and under the light, it was beautiful beyond words.

just,

When the music ends.

When Lin Tian raised his head by chance, he discovered.

The girl who just finished dancing with him.

At this moment, he looked up at himself, revealing a somewhat embarrassed look:
“This song is good, but I don’t think it suits me.”

　The music video is attached, you must watch it!

　　Asking for a monthly ticket~
