My girlfriend is a cellist

Gan Yanyu seemed to have not heard the discussions around her at all. As soon as she entered the viewing room, she couldn't wait to trot to an empty chair.

Then he sat down, raised his head and waved at Lin Tian.

After Lin Tian came and sat down next to Gan Yanyu, Gan Yanyu immediately clenched her hands, straightened her back, sat in a well-behaved posture, and looked at the big screen.

In the screen,
The golden hall that I have seen countless times in videotapes.

Now, it appeared so clearly before their eyes.

".
The contestant performing on the stage at this moment was a black man.

He was playing a simple chamber piece.

The piece of music was not too difficult, the melody was simple, and the beautiful music flowed gently in the golden hall like water. It was particularly pleasant to listen to, causing the audience to be completely intoxicated by it.

It was clearly just a qualifying round, but the quality of performance was surprisingly high?

After listening for a while, Lin Tian suddenly felt the gap.

Sure enough, none of those who can reach the Cole Cup are simple people.

Immediately afterwards, several contestants appeared one after another.

Just listen to the performance.
Being able to play the music smoothly and without error is just the basics.

The biggest impression is -

Features.

Almost every pianist, on the basis of playing the music without mistakes, can inject his or her own unique musical understanding into his or her music.

For example, the black man just now.

The chamber music he played, with the frivolity and spontaneity of black rap talent, gave people a feeling of freedom and unrestrainedness with the nature of improvisation.

"Oh"

Gan Yanyu held the seat with both hands, raised her white legs, and watched intently.
"Every contestant is so amazing."

“But it’s still a little far from the top grade.”

Lin Tian on the side added.

"How did you hear that?"

Gan Yanyu turned her head and stared at Lin Tian with her watery eyes.

It wasn't like Gan Yanyu didn't understand what was wrong with these people's performances.

It was more like Gan Yanyu didn’t understand Lin Tian’s definition of the “top” level.

In Gan Yanyu's opinion, this was already a very impressive performance!
If it was her first time on the stage of the Golden Hall, she might not be able to achieve this level.

"You can hear it, too, but you don't have the right perspective."

Lin Tian said.

Objectively speaking.

Although the overall level of the players is very high, it is understandable to make such an exclamation.

However, Gan Yanyu should also adjust her perspective.

From the perspective of a new visitor to Vienna for the first time, I can offer a few compliments.

But Lin Tian felt that Gan Yanyu could now stand from the perspective of a strong man and look down on others to make a more objective and favorable analysis of himself.

This is exactly why Lin Tian must bring Gan Yanyu to the qualifying round today.

"Listen carefully."

Lin Tian stretched out his two hands, covered Gan Yanyu's temples from behind, and whispered in the girl's ear,

"If it were you on the stage, would you be satisfied with this performance?"

At this moment, the one playing the music is a Latino girl who looks very similar to the heroine Miou from Twin Shadows.

Her performance is unrestrained and heroic, giving people a great spiritual shock.

Even in the viewing area, some cellists couldn't help but cheer.

Compared with the previous contestants, she is considered to be quite outstanding.

but,

After Lin Tian covered his forehead with his hands, Gan Yanyu tried to calm down and listened carefully.

"The fingers for the second vibrato are too tense and not natural enough."

“The concentration is very strong, but the emotions are only expressed but not further reflected in the playing.”

"If it were me, I would definitely handle the second part better than she did."

Gan Yanyu finished speaking seriously, and then, like a child handing in homework, turned to look at Lin Tian.

"well said."

Lin Tian smiled.

"It seems that our classmate Xiao Gan can also give serious comments on others."

“I’m always making progress, okay?”

Gan Yanyu puffed up her lips, slightly dissatisfied with Lin Tian's praise.

In Lin Tian's eyes,

Gan Yanyu's performance has always been unique in the cello world.

Yes, once you get on the stage, close your eyes and start the "experiential performance".

While others were still trying hard to figure out how to play the cello with more emotion, Gan Yanyu seemed to have just played a game of SAO, traveled through time and space, and then came back.

You have to ask her why she plays so well.

She didn't know, she didn't know, for her, it was just like traveling through time and space.
Who the hell can I go to for justice?
So, sometimes, Gan Yanyu doesn’t have a clear judgment of her own strength, and it’s really not her fault.

The underlying logic of her performance is different from that of others.

But it's really different now.

While maintaining her experiential performance ability, Gan Yanyu has gradually optimized her performance structure.

Now, Gan Yanyu can make a clear analysis and examination of "where he plays well" and "why he plays in this way".

So, now under Lin Tian’s guidance, after seeing Gan Yanyu’s sharp comments on other cellists, Lin Tian was really pleased.

Because this basically means:
Gan Yanyu is now not only strong, but also strong for a reason! She knows why she is strong! And she can also understand why others are not as strong as she is!

Our teacher Gan
It has completely transformed into a pentagonal warrior! !
Lin Tian was so moved that tears were about to fall.

In the official competition in a few days, Lin Tian has already thought of what song to use to kill.
"Hey, that's them."

Just at this time,
The voice I heard when I first entered the viewing room came again to my ears.

Since everyone in the viewing room was chatting and the noise was very loud, the sounds of discussion were not obvious.

However, Lin Tian was still very sensitive and realized from the direction the voice came from that it was aimed at himself and Gan Yanyu.

Lin Tian frowned and turned his head to look for the source of the sound.

suddenly,

A figure appeared in front of them.

"Hey!!"

A black man came in front of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, and seemed to be scanning the two of them to see who was the lead singer. Then, as if to confirm, he asked Gan Yanyu in slightly broken English,
"(Are you Gan Yanyu?)"

Heige's voice seemed to have its own loudspeaker. As soon as his voice came out, it immediately attracted a group of players who were watching the game nearby.

"(Who are you?)"

Lin Tian protected Gan Yanyu with his arms and asked.

"(Alik Zorn.)" Zorn stated his name without hesitation.

"(French?)" Lin Tiandao.

"(It seems you know me.)" Brother Hei said with a proud smile.

“(No, because you’re black.)”

As soon as these words came out.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and several cellists couldn't help but laugh. Then, in the eyes of the people around them, they realized how sacred this place was, and quickly controlled their expressions, fearing that their merits would be deducted by Jesus.

Zorn's face was instantly irritated, but fortunately he had a high level of musical literacy, so he managed to hold back his emotions and spread his hands.
"(bor, don't do that!)" "(Why don't you tell us how you guys were able to participate in the Kerr Cup even though you gave up the national finals for no reason? And you were able to sit in the same room with us and watch the game?)"

As soon as this word comes out,
There were immediately sounds of exclamation from all around.

"(National competition? Give up??)"

"(Oh my god, there is no reason to abandon the game. In our country, this will result in a one-year suspension!)"

“(Are the cello competitions in China so laxly regulated? No wonder the results are so poor every year!)”

“(OMG! No matter how we choose, they shouldn’t get their turn, right? What kind of relationship is this?)”

"."

Zorn's words instantly ignited the crowd.

Many cellists looked towards Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu with expressions of surprise, confusion, and even anger.

"Yes, we gave up the game."

Lin Tian smiled and nodded in acknowledgement.

All of a sudden, a bigger storm arose.

In fact, the invitation mechanism for the Cole Cup is clearly defined in every major music country.

Usually, a country only has one spot, and the champion is invited to participate in the Kerr Cup. If there are three spots, the top three teams in the finals will directly participate in the Kerr Cup.

Only in extremely special circumstances, when one of the top three people gives up the invitation qualification, will the next round be postponed. In that case, it will usually be postponed to the fourth or fifth place.
In any case, it will not be the turn of a player who scored “0 points” in the finals to participate.

There are so many people who have connections among the “specially invited contestants”.

However, "special invitation" is not without bottom line. At the very least, it must be players who have achieved certain results in national competitions and have absolutely no stains in their competition career.

Otherwise, no matter how much "sponsorship" there is, the Kerr Cup Organizing Committee will never allow the team to participate.

This is the first invited contestant to get “0 points”!
If Zorn hadn't suddenly lifted the window paper in public, the pianists present would never have thought that there was someone with such a powerful backstage among them!
Even if you give up the game, you can still enter the Kerr Cup?!
And the most unacceptable thing is.

This is the viewing area for the contestants who will be promoted in the second stage.

Only contestants from countries with a certain musical status can be qualified to sit here.

Damn it, forget about it if he has connections.

And you're sitting in the same room with me.

The musicians in our country sacrificed their lives to get the admission quota, why do you deserve it? ?

This is why Zorn couldn't stand it anymore and had to come out and question it in public.

at the same time,

In the corner, American cellist Brian was even more furious.

He took out his handkerchief again and wiped the hand that had just shaken hands with Lin Tian in front of Perkins.

I thought that being a “connected player in the wildcard zone” was incredible enough.

Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to win the championship, they even withdrew from the competition!
Give up the game!!

This was even more pessimistic than the most pessimistic scenario Brian could have imagined.

I actually missed such important information just now!

In the United States, a cellist who quits the competition without any reason is simply a contempt for the music industry!

Is there room for improvement in the tolerance of Chinese netizens?
"(I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore! I am from the Bryan family.)"

Brian was dissatisfied with the inefficiency of using a handkerchief, so he simply placed both palms on his suit pants and rubbed them vigorously until his palms were almost sparking.

"(OMG, bor!)"

After Lin Tian admitted it just now, Zorn was stunned for a full ten seconds and didn't know how to answer. It was only now that he uttered an exclamation.
"(If I were you, I would definitely not have the face to sit here, go away my friends! No one will blame you for participating in the Kerr Cup, but seeing you sitting here really makes me feel sick from the bottom of my heart.)"

"(But, before the game starts, you have no right to judge us, right?)"

Lin Tian was about to speak, but was interrupted by Gan Yanyu beside him.

As soon as Gan Yanyu opened his mouth, the black guy was stunned for a long time, as if they had nothing to talk about, but the other party could still respond to him with confidence.

“(Sitting here is the right given to us by the organizers.)”

Gan Yanyu said calmly,

"(If you think we should rely on our strength to prove whether we have this right, then I think, since you have it, then I can have it too.)"

"(My strength is above yours.)"

Gan Yanyu said this calmly.

Even Lin Tian next to him widened his eyes.

No,

Where did this silly girl learn these words?

Zorn was completely dumbfounded. He covered his head for a while, looking at him in a state of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"(you.)"

"(I've seen your video, Mr. Zorn.)"

Gan Yanyu said,
"(Your music is just like your personality, frivolous and not serious enough. For example, in the Stan Cup semi-finals, you played Taylor's Etude No. 13. In a serious performance that requires pure emotion, your performance was not able to release the emotion well, so you only got the third place in the semi-finals.)"

"(You said I'm not stable enough.??)"

Zorn held his forehead with his hand, his face full of "O!M!G!!"

He never expected that he, the champion of the French "Stan Cup" and the musical light of the black race, would be publicly criticized as "not good enough" by a little girl from the wildcard zone in the Kerr Cup.

At this time, there were more discussions around me.

Following Gan Yanyu's remarks, some cellists naturally turned the topic to Zorn.

The focus of the discussion suddenly became Zorn himself.

Zorn's face was a little embarrassed.

"(What qualifications do you have.)"

“(Have you seen the video of our performance?)”

Gan Yanyu interrupted again.

"(I.)"

Zorn's voice caught in his throat.

Watching the performance videos of important opponents is indeed one of the homework that contestants will do before the competition, but how could he possibly watch a video of an unknown
"(If you haven't seen it, then you have no right to comment on me.)" Gan Yanyu said.

"."

Looking at the extremely innocent girl in front of him, there was no trace of joking in her expression at all.

Zorn was completely speechless!

He had so much to say, but seeing more and more people talking about him, if he continued to argue with Gan Yanyu here, he would become the focus of everyone's attention.

It would not be a good thing if so many people knew his playing style before the competition started.

So, he could only grit his teeth:

"(Okay, Miss Gan Yanyu, Mr. Lin Tian.)"

“(See you in the second stage!)”

After saying that, Zorn turned and left in a hurry.

"."

After Zoen left, Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu. He was really a little too surprised.

"That's amazing, Xiao Gan, you were able to trick him."

"I didn't cheat him."

Gan Yanyu said innocently,

“I actually watched his games.”

"When did you watch his video? How come I didn't know about it?"

"I watched all the video recordings of all 38 players who were recommended this time," Gan Yanyu said. (End of this chapter)
