Chapter 371 Mao Weiang’s “Atonement”

Want to collaborate on a song?

Not to make money, but to get fans who love music to stop arguing?
This idea seems good.

Lin Tian thought about it.

However, it is not easy to resolve the conflicts among netizens.

One thing Lin Tian was very clear about was that even if Moonlight, Cat and Mao Weiang personally came out to appeal, it probably wouldn’t have much effect.

For two groups of people in conflict, what they are fighting for may not just be the content of the conflict itself.

It’s like,

There is a fight between the salty tofu pudding and the sweet tofu pudding.

You run to the middle and shout: “Everyone, stop arguing! We all like to eat tofu pudding, why are we arguing?”
There is a certain probability that you will be regarded as an idiot.

You are not the inventor of tofu pudding. At best, you are just a chef who makes delicious salty tofu pudding.

Are you taking yourself too seriously?

“Teacher Maozi, I agree with your point of view, but I don’t think our cooperation can change anything.” Lin Tian said bluntly.

“If it’s you, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​I believe it will be possible.”

Mao Weiang said decisively.

Lin Tian looked at him.

Mao Weian took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision.

His eyes gradually turned to the window.

“I have always heard your stories.”

Mao Weiang looked sincere, “Actually, I envy you guys, really.”

“Envy us?”

Lin Tian didn’t understand what there was to be envious of from Mao Weiang’s perspective.

He and Gan Yanyu were just two classical musicians who had been doing things that were neither pleasing nor pleasing, but only for their own satisfaction. They were targeted in the competition, and the money they made was just so-so.

By contrast,

Mao Weiang is a well-known producer in the entertainment industry. Working for a top agency, he has status, fame, and financial resources.

Even though he is behind the scenes, he is even given the title of “King of Pop Music” by netizens. Now that he has just turned into a professional cellist, he has received extremely high attention and made it all the way to the finals.

Such a life is as successful as it can be.

Why should I envy myself and Gan Yanyu whose future is uncertain?
“I envy you guys. It feels great to be able to keep working hard for your ideals. Even if you fail in the end, you won’t have any regrets in your life.”

Mao Weian lowered his head and looked at Lin Tian.
“Moonlight” is very well written. I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to surpass it in my lifetime.”

“Say ‘this life’ or something like that”

Lin Tian said in horror.

Don’t make the topic so serious just by chance!
“For the first half of my life, I have been doing things that run counter to my beliefs. It is so hard to be able to follow my heart for once. I don’t want to cause trouble to anyone because of my arrival.”

Mao Weiang looked apologetic again and said,

“Of course, out of respect for the competition, I will do my best. But, I also want to atone in other ways. I want to do something for the people who love music.”

“.”

Looking at Mao Weiang with a pious face.

Lin Tian was silent.

He didn’t expect that this man who was so wild in music seemed to have an extremely gentle heart.

Gan Yanyu, who was standing by, poked Lin Tian’s thigh.

Lin Tian looked over and saw Gan Yanyu frowning slightly, with a look of sympathy on his face.

Obviously, she empathized with Mao Weiang.

Speaking of empathy
In fact, Lin Tian can also empathize.

Because long before coming here, Lin Tian already felt that it was not a good thing for the public opinion about the Longqin Cup to become like this.

The pure music circle is small to begin with, and everyone here is a music lover, so it’s unnecessary to make a fuss on the internet over classical or pop music.

at this time,

The female agent who had been standing next to Mao Weiang also added anxiously:
“Our teacher Mao is absolutely selfless. I can guarantee with my professional career that there is absolutely no problem with his character! Teacher Mao really wants to cooperate with the two teachers. In terms of the pure heart towards music, he is consistent with the two of you.”

“let me see.”

Lin Tian interrupted the female agent’s speech.

In fact, they were not worried that Mao Weiang would use this cooperation to do anything disadvantageous to them.

Based on this brief conversation, at least instinctively, I felt that Mao Weiang was not an aggressive person.

As a person involved, it’s disgusting to say.

No wonder Mao Weiang can attract half of the entertainment industry to cheer for him.

This is not only related to his creative ability, but he must also be a very good person in the entertainment industry. Otherwise, if he only has ability but his character is disgusting, he would not be so popular.

only.
It has nothing to do with Mao Weiang as a person.

But Lin Tian had a knot in his heart.

This lump was so disgusting that Lin Tian could never let it go.

“I may not be able to accept it, I’m sorry.”

Lin Tian said.

“Why?” the female agent asked excitedly.

Gan Yanyu on the side also looked at him with a little surprise.

“As long as my partner and I are still being treated unfairly by the competition organisers, I probably won’t be able to achieve a ‘great reconciliation’ between classical music and pop music with this kind of goal.”

It’s not that Lin Tian hates Mao Weiang.

It’s not that he hates pop music, either.

Instead,

Why would Lin Tian want to make such a big reconciliation with pop music at this time? ?
Then what does the suffering Gan Yanyu had suffered before count for?
Since returning to the competition, Gan Yanyu, who has always insisted on classical music, has been treated unfairly in various ways.

It’s fine if I’m treated unfairly by the tournament organizers.

When I arrived at the Longqin Cup and met Mao Weiang, I was criticized by netizens.

It feels like you are going through a level with an old enemy.

In the process, you suffered all kinds of hardships, and were tripped by various traps carefully set for you, and then got up again.

Your arch-enemy, on the other hand, had a smooth journey all the way, and although he also made great efforts, he was no match for you.

Finally, the two of you are about to cross the finish line side by side.

The organizers arranged for the two of you to stand on the stage together and hold the trophy.

Nothing else. Just pure disgust!
Of course you know that those hardships and traps were not set for you by your nemesis. He is just trying his best.

But it’s just hard to stretch.

Lin Tian understood the truth.

He really just felt sorry for Gan Yanyu.

Therefore,
Although the ideal blueprint of “universal harmony in the music world” described by Mao Weiang seemed meaningful, Lin Tian also thought it was great.

Lin Tian couldn’t accept it either.

“.”

Gan Yanyu understood what Lin Tian meant.

She pursed her lips, and although she still felt a little regretful, she didn’t say anything else.

“I understand what you mean.”

Mao Weian took a deep breath and said to Lin Tian,

“It’s okay, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​I understand how you feel!”

Even so, Mao Weiang still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor.

“Just understand.”

As Lin Tian spoke, he and Gan Yanyu stood up.

“Wait a moment, teachers!” The female agent on the side saw Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were about to leave, and spoke hurriedly.

“Let them go.”

Mao Weian interrupted.

“But.”

“Let’s go.”

Mao Weiang supported his thin body with his hands and stood up from the sofa.

“Teacher Lin Tian, ​​Teacher Gan Yanyu, thank you very much for coming here today.”

Mao Weian stretched out his hand.

“Ah.”

Lin Tian held it.

“I will go all out in the finals.” “I’ll be waiting.”

After saying that, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu turned and walked towards the door.

Looking at the two people’s departing backs, a hint of sadness flashed in Mao Weian’s eyes.

Just then, he lowered his head and saw the bottle of mineral water that Lin Tian had left on the sofa when he came just now.

“Teacher Lin Tian, ​​your water.”

Mao Weiang said this as he bent down to pick up the water.

However, at this time.

His legs suddenly went limp.

“thump–“

Mao Weiang fell heavily to his knees.

“Teacher Mao!”

The female agent nearby hurried forward to help.

Hearing the noise, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, who had just walked out of the door, were startled, turned their heads and saw the two people.

Gan Yanyu immediately walked forward and bent down to check.

Asked:
“Are you okay, Mr. Maozi?”

“No, I’m fine. I just didn’t stand firmly for a moment. My legs are not in good condition, so this happens sometimes.”

Mao Weian smiled.

“Hypoglycemia?” Lin Tian asked.

“Maybe”

“Teacher Maozi, you…” The female agent next to him looked at Mao Weiang with heartache, tears almost coming out.

“Small things.”

Mao Weiang immediately put on a cold face and used his eyes to persuade the agent to back out.

“.”

Lin Tian frowned and looked at Mao Weiang.

Do not know why.

At this moment, he was so thin that he was slumped on the ground.

It reminded him of someone——

The former sweet words and rain.

“Teacher Mao Weiang, do you have any disease?”

Suddenly, Lin Tian asked.

“Cirrhosis of the liver.”

Hearing this,

The female agent at the side couldn’t bear it any longer and spoke up for Mao Weiang.

Mao Weiang’s face suddenly darkened, and before he could react,

“Cirrhosis of the liver?” Gan Yanyu asked in surprise.

“Um”

The female agent said,

“It’s already advanced.”

in the office,

It suddenly became extremely quiet.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were stunned at the same time.

Cirrhosis. Late stage.

“That means he won’t live long?” Lin Tian said.

“.”

Mao Weiang stood up from the ground without saying a word, but just lowered his face.

Seeing this, Lin Tian knew that he was right.

No wonder,
From the first time he saw Mao Weiang, he felt that this man was abnormally thin.

This weight is as light as Gan Yanyu in the past.

The difference is that this person really has a terminal illness.

Just like what Lin Tian said before coming here today.

Only patients would have that kind of weight.

But what Lin Tian didn’t expect was that
Even though Mao Weiang was so thin, he still looked very energetic, and there was nothing wrong with him when he was talking with Lin Tian just now.

The same thing happened on the previous stage.

While performing, Mao Weiang did not look like a patient in the advanced stage of liver cirrhosis at all. He displayed his pop charm so boldly and passionately.

This made Lin Tian not think about it in this way.

“Can’t we save it?”

Lin Tian asked.

“It can’t be saved.”

Mao Weiang smiled and said. Now that the window paper has been pierced, there is no need for him to hide.
“The doctor said I have five months at most.”

“That’s great. If everything goes well, we can finish the Kerr Cup.”

After Lin Tian finished saying this, Gan Yanyu on the side angrily poked Lin Tian in the waist with her hand.

How long has it been since you started talking about this?
“It’s okay, I’ve already been prepared.”

Looking at the little pearls that might flash in Gan Yanyu’s eyes at any time, Mao Weiang said with a smile,

“I am able to do what I like during this last period of time, and I am very satisfied every day now.”

“.”

After hearing this, Lin Tian finally understood what Mao Weiang meant by “regret” earlier.

quite a while,

“The only pity is that it’s too late.”

Mao Weian raised his head again and looked at the ceiling.

“why?”

Lin Tian asked.

Mao Weian was silent for a while, and finally, he slowly spoke:
“I actually don’t like the job of a producer. I like music, but I also prefer to create its sound with my own hands.”

“Unfortunately, by the time I realized this, it was already too late.”

“My image and my vocal condition are not suitable for being a pop singer.”

“For the first twenty years, I have been doing this kind of self-hypnosis. I suppressed my own preferences and thought I was very satisfied with my work. I had a good income and created a lot of music that people loved. I always believed that even if I died now, my life would be valuable, at least I left so many things for future generations. So I always muddled through every day.”

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Lin Tian said.

Having lived two lives, he has become more open-minded about life and death in this world.

I understand more and more the meaning of the sentence “Some people are dead, but he is still alive.”

He admired such people, and in fact, he also wanted to do such a thing.

“Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Mao Weian lowered his head and looked at Lin Tian.
“But when I really learned that my life was coming to an end, I realized that everything was different from what I thought.”

Mao Weiang smiled, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

“I suddenly realized that my so-called ‘meaningful life’ could not give me what I wanted when I was about to leave this world.”

“Yes, after I die, my music will continue to be passed down, and countless people will remember me. This is what I have been pursuing all my life. Why would I be unwilling to accept this?”

“Finally, I figured it out.”

Mao Weiang said seriously, word by word,
“I have never been such a noble person, and I can never be such a noble person.”

“I have always been very selfish. Those things were never what I really wanted. Compared to those, I just want to do what I like and spend my life the way I like.”

“It’s a pity that I found out too late.”

“Stop talking!” The female agent covered Mao Weiang’s mouth. She wiped her tears with her arm and cried bitterly.

“I’m fine now, and I’m satisfied every day.”

Mao Weian stroked his agent’s head and spoke softly and gently again.

Looking at this scene, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were silent for a long time.

Lin Tian remembered what Mao Weiang had just said about “atonement”.
He sighed.

Finally, he walked in front of Mao Weiang,
“Tell me, how do you want us to cooperate?”
