Chapter 362 Debussy – Moonlight (Part )
Baijing Concert Hall.

On-site performance of the professional group of the “Longqin Cup” National Cello Competition.

As the stage came on, the name of the next contestant “Gan Yanyu” was announced by the host.

The air in the entire concert hall suddenly became restless.

“Finally here comes contestant Gan Yanyu from Qingjiang.”

“I believe this is one of the performances that many audiences are looking forward to the most today.”

The commentator Zhuye said solemnly,

“I don’t know if you have been online recently. Some netizens have had a heated discussion about Mr. Maozi’s pop music and Mr. Gan Yanyu’s classical music.”

What a lively exchange!

At this point, the netizens in the live broadcast room couldn’t hold it anymore.

Anyone who can come to this place to watch the live broadcast knows this.

During this period, the two sides had been arguing over topics related to the Longqin Cup on Weibo alone.

On one side are the top producers in the Chinese music scene, and on the other side are the emerging top stars rising in the music industry.

The noise was so devastating.

Even when today’s live broadcast just started, the two sides had a “fierce exchange” in the live broadcast room.

“Perhaps it was fate that drew lots for the order of this competition, and Gan Yanyu happened to appear next to Mr. Maozi.”

“Watching the games back-to-back like this must have satisfied many viewers’ desire to see a ‘strong confrontation’, right?”

Maple Leaf said.

In fact, the online rhythm this time is so loud, it concerns two key players, and also touches on the sensitive topic of the Longqin Cup competition system: the preservation of classical music.

Why is there no official response to the Longqin Cup?

Very understandable.

The official just wants to create such competitive topics to stir up the heat of the game! They are happy to see such an effect.

This is also why this topic has become known to everyone in the entire music circle and even the neighboring Chinese music scene. It has a lot to do with the official indulgence.

Now, outside the arena, the people who are under the most pressure are the two commentators.

In fact, as people in this circle, Zhuye and Fengye’s positions are more inclined towards neutrality.

That is, they respect the results of the competition system reform and support the training of more world-class performers, but at the same time they always have a true love for classical music and do not want to see classical musicians abandoned by the times.

Among them, Fengye himself is a fan of Gan Yanyu and Lin Tian.

My mood at this moment has become even more complicated.

Based on Fengye’s understanding of the organizing committee, he knew that Gan Yanyu would definitely be eliminated here today.

However, he still couldn’t bear to see that two such pure people were subjected to attacks that should not be directed at them because of the hostility of today’s Internet fan culture.

At least, in their swan song.

and so–

Fengye paused, and after a moment of silence, he faced the camera and said:
“Actually, I still want to say a few words to everyone here.”

“Both Mao Zi and Gan Yanyu are musicians worthy of our admiration. Whether it is pop music or classical music, as long as everyone likes it, it is good music.”

“I just hope that everyone can listen to this piece quietly during the next performance. Regardless of whether you have a stereotype about classical music before, I hope everyone can listen carefully. I believe that Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu will not let you down.”

Zhuye on the side looked at his partner in surprise.

Maple Leaf’s commentary has always been rather exaggerated and bold. When Zhuye saw Maple Leaf being so serious, he was actually a little bit uncomfortable.

To the point that he even forgot to continue the conversation.

And hearing Maple Leaf’s sincere speech.

The silent majority in the live broadcast room also emerged at this moment.

[Well said! Why do you always worry about what music to listen to? I listen to jazz and often get scolded for liking to watch chimpanzees play the trumpet.]

[You guys should also listen carefully, the music of our Moonlight and Cat needs to be savored carefully! ]

[I just swallowed it without thinking. If you want to know whether I understand or not, it’s hard for you to find the right angle to criticize me, right? ]

In the official live broadcast room of the Longqin Cup, preparations were being made for Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu to take the stage.

at the same time,

On Bilibili, there are quite a few second-channel commentators who have obtained official authorization for the Longqin Cup, and they have gradually appeared on the homepage of the website.

Among them, the second live broadcast is the most popular, with the number of viewers second only to the official live broadcast room.

He is the up master named [Sunny Dongshu].

In fact, Zhang Dong only started the live broadcast when Gan Yanyu was about to go on stage.

This place can be said to be the base camp for Moon Cat fans.

As soon as the live broadcast room was opened, countless netizens rushed in crazily.

And when netizens entered the live broadcast room and wanted to express their deep feelings about the injustice that Moonlight and Cat felt at the Longqin Cup.

What caught my eye was Zhang Dong, who was wearing shorts, crossing his legs, and eating braised beef noodles while sitting in front of the computer.

Everyone was stunned.

No, is this still the high-spirited anchor? How come he has become so chill after not seeing him for a while? !
If you don’t know, you might think that Zhang Dong went to Ukraine to work during his summer vacation!
“do not mind.”

Facing the comments that were worried about him, Zhang Dong just waved his hand.
“I learned it from studying music.”

“Chasing the dream of music is going against the will of heaven, and it is normal to die on the road.”

Zhang Dong made a “wait a minute” gesture, then picked up the instant noodle bucket and drank the soup in one gulp.

“Hiccup~”

Zhang Dong burped and put the bucket on the table.

This scene made everyone even more heartbroken.

In the past, people in Dong Ge’s live broadcast room always drank red wine!
“I’m not in the mood to laugh and joke with you guys today. I didn’t want to go on air today.”

Zhang Dong looked at the live broadcast on the computer screen with a serious look.
“But, Brother Dong must witness today’s match with everyone.”

“Brother Moonlight and Cat-chan, they are not one person fighting against another!”

“If they suffer any injustice, we will bear it together!”

After saying that, Zhang Dong revealed a look of deep concern and looked towards the scene.

Then, he clenched his fists, placed them in front of his chest, and made a prayer gesture.
“Brothers, lend your strength to the moonlight and the cat!”

All eyes focused.

Thousands of viewers and netizens held their breath.

at last,

As the stage lights come into focus.

Gan Yanyu’s high heels fell to the ground.

Young boys and girls took to the stage!

“finally come.”

In the office, Yao Han widened his eyes and stared at the two of them.

Lin Tian came to the piano on the side of the stage and sat down, while Gan Yanyu sat on a chair diagonally in front of her, with the cello resting elegantly between her knees.

The two looked at each other and took a deep breath.

The first one to raise his hand was Lin Tian.

“Den-“

The piano sound falls, slowing down.

Rippling arpeggios spread across the stage floor, which reflected the magnificent ceiling.

And when Lin Tian’s right hand melody climbed to the high pitch.

Gan Yanyu’s bow also gently rested on the strings, and her low singing gently enveloped every note like the night.

Extremely gentle.

This is just a prelude.

It has a completely different feeling from the previous “Gun Out Like a Dragon”.

Such piano sound is so quiet and charming.

All of a sudden, it captured the hearts of the audience.

“Brother Moonlight’s piano playing is getting better and better.”

Zhang Dong sighed, “Now he is able to completely agree with Mao-chan’s cello. It’s really not easy.”

What surprised him even more was.

Unexpectedly, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu would choose such a graceful song for such a major competition that determines life and death.

Zhang Dong was puzzled and became a little anxious.
“How can a piece like this compete with pop music?”

This doesn’t mean that music with a graceful style is bad.

However, it is still the same terrible proposition about pop music – when “Gun Out Like a Dragon” has already raised the threshold of the audience and judges to an infinitely high level, it is difficult for such a song with a weak sense of melody to arouse people’s empathy.

He thought it was such an important game.

At the very least, Lin Tian would write a piece like “Can-Can” to play chess.

At the very least, it shouldn’t lag behind in terms of listening quality, right?

At this critical juncture, Zhang Dong really couldn’t care less about anything else and started to worry about Lin Tian’s song selection.

And after Zhang Dong expressed his concerns about the song selection.

A barrage of comments slowly floated by.

【Take a look at the title of the song.】

Zhang Dong was stunned. Only then did he realize that he had not paid attention to the name of this song.

He immediately lowered his head and looked at the lower left corner of the screen.

For a moment, Zhang Dong’s pupils suddenly widened.

–“moonlight”.

“Moonlight?”

On the commentary desk.

Maple Leaf tilted his head and squinted his eyes.

“I actually used my own name to answer the questions.”

“But it’s still such a pure classical music.”

Thinking of this, Fengye smiled.

“what’s so funny?”

Seeing this, Zhuye on the side asked curiously.

“This is Teacher Lin Tian teaching us.”

Maple Leaf said, “A beautiful classical music class.”

“.”

As the music came to the development part.

Lin Tian’s piano began to slowly speed up, like waves in the dark night, gently moving forward.

Gan Yanyu’s cello is like the moon in the night sky, casting a silver glow on the waves.

The two are intertwined to present a charming view of the coast at night.

Everything is so harmonious and peaceful.

The sound of the piano floated from the center of the stage to the judges’ seats, to the audience seats, and then to the ears of every audience member watching the performance.

Suddenly, it seemed as if all the fighting and hatred disappeared.

The flames brought by the “Gun Shoots Like a Dragon” were extinguished in an instant.

Regarding the victory or defeat, and the result of the game, it seems that at this moment, in this music, they are no longer so important.

“What a nice view.”

Zhuye couldn’t help but sigh.

And at this moment, in the official live broadcast room.

Many audiences just responded to Maple Leaf’s call and were patient and willing to listen to the music carefully.

Now, everyone feels some emotions, more or less.

[It seems. Not bad? ]

[Very suitable for listening during self-study at night. 】

[Although I didn’t quite understand what you said, I felt very comfortable listening to it]

Another comment echoed excitedly:

[Of course, such beautiful piano and cello, except for Moonlight and Cat, where else can you listen to it? ]

[This is why I like Moonlight and Cat. Every time I listen to their new songs, I feel healed! ]

【This is truly tasteful music! 】

[It feels really good, the climax hasn’t come yet! From what I know about Moonlight Brother, there will be a bigger one soon, just wait! ]

at this time,

Zhang Dong, who was sitting in front of the computer, also closed his eyes and savored the song “Moonlight” attentively.

In a trance, following Gan Yanyu’s cello, he seemed to walk into a completely new scene.

Moonlight poured down from the broken stained windows of the church, flowing like a river on the black and white keys of the piano. Zhang Dong played the violin, and the rippling arpeggios spread out under the empty dome.
“Brother Moonlight, I really don’t understand you.”

Zhang Dong opened his eyes and sighed with an almost wry smile,

“Beautiful, it’s really beautiful.”

“It’s been a long time since I heard a piece of music that made me feel so peaceful. It’s no exaggeration to say that this piece of music is the cultural pinnacle of classical music.”

“But, does playing a piece of classical music like this mean that you can do it as your last song – and die with no regrets?”

“Teacher Lin Tian, ​​do you hope to perform a classical music feast on this stage with your own aliased piece of music as your farewell performance?”

On the commentary stand, Maple Leaf felt both happy and sad about this.

The joy lies in the fact that he can enjoy such a beautiful classical scene on such a stage, which is really a pleasure.

The sad thing is that Teacher Lin Tian did not take any measures to fight back.

In this doomed semi-final,

Perhaps, Teacher Lin Tian and Teacher Gan Yanyu have already made up their minds.

Since I can’t advance,

Then there will be no regrets!

In this competition that most of the music world is paying attention to, for the last time, a piece of classical music that has reached the pinnacle in all aspects was performed, allowing people to feel the true cultural charm.

such,

Even if they are eliminated, it will help them continue to play classical music in the future.

Think of this.

Maple Leaf felt a little sad.

He knew clearly that when he was doomed to be eliminated, Teacher Lin Tian’s choice was the best one possible.

But I still feel it’s a pity.

It’s like, deep down, there’s always a feeling and expectation.

I hope they can create a miracle that no one expected, and use a miracle to break this fate.
“Maple Leaf, don’t you think this music sounds a bit strange?”

Just at this time,
The sound of bamboo leaves beside him interrupted Fengye’s thoughts.

strange?
Fengye was stunned. He didn’t understand the meaning of this adjective.

“It’s just the feeling. It’s empty, but not in the sense of being empty without any connotation. It seems to be pure and without any story,” Zhuye described with a frown.

Maple Leaf listened to the piano carefully.

Gradually, his expression became strange.

“It seems to be true!!”

He was just focused on following the melody of the music, and gradually, he even overlooked such an obvious problem.

Fengye listened attentively and said in confusion,
“There’s no center point to this piece!”

“Huh? There’s no center point?”

Zhuye’s expression became even more confused.

“Can a piece of music without a central point still be called classical music?”

“I don’t know either.”

Maple Leaf said embarrassedly.

He had never encountered such a situation before. He was not well educated and had not studied classical music in detail.
However, according to people’s usual understanding.

Isn’t the most important thing about classical music the beauty of structure?
Classical music that doesn’t even have a structure. How the hell does he know if it can still be considered classical music?
So, what is the situation now?
Feng Ye was already confused. He looked at Lin Tian on the stage and kept muttering,

“Teacher Lin Tian, ​​what are you going to do?”
