My girlfriend is a cellist

Chapter 364 The anxious and painful Longqin Cup jury
——Real classical music is never an emotional massage chair, but a code book that needs to be actively decoded.

This is what Debussy tried to tell the people of that era in the music he insisted on.

This sentence,
In Europe hundreds of years ago, perhaps people at that time could not fully appreciate the meaning of this sentence.

But, time flies.

When we come to this world dominated by pop music and Lin Tian tells it.

Lin Tian believes that

Certainly, someone will be able to sense it.

Lin Tian is not yet great enough to change the world, but at this moment, standing on the stage of the Longqin Cup, he can change everyone who is listening to the music at the scene - that is enough!
"Brother Moonlight, why do you create such music?"

Zhang Dong looked at the scene and sighed with a wry smile and heartache.
“Isn’t ‘Gun Out Like a Dragon’ good? You can just sit here and quietly enjoy the beautiful music you brought without using your brain. You can get the recognition of the judges, and everyone can be happy. That’s enough.”

"But why did you insist on composing such a song "Moonlight"? "

"Why do you have to ask everyone to follow you to solve the problem, like cracking a code, to guess the meaning of the song, guess the expression of the song?"

"You can easily create a piece of music that gets people excited, like 'One Step Away' or 'Canon'. Aren't those songs good?"

"Why do you have to force everyone to be unhappy, to not be able to listen to music in a relaxed and happy manner, but to have to use their brains with you?"

Zhang Dong kept muttering, his expression becoming more and more complicated.

In this song "Moonlight".

Moonlight Brother demonstrated his world-class musical talent.

Using his non-resolving chords, creates a sense of anxiety;
Use the uncertainty of sound to fight against the romantic sentimentality in previous classical music;

This brought an abstract feast to all the audiences on site.

It also made countless people rack their brains and suffer immensely in trying to understand this song.

But even so
"Cool!!"

Zhang Dong shouted in front of the live broadcast room.

The moment the puzzle is solved!
When the full picture of the music is fully presented in front of him!
When Lin Tian’s subversive “anti-classical” abstract style finally made him understand!
“It’s so fucking awesome!!!”

Zhang Dong slammed the table and roared.

Music like "Gun Out Like a Dragon" is simple, addictive, and joyful, and it allows you to feel the joy of emotions without having to use your brain. It is certainly good.

but,

The code book presented by Lin Tian made everyone feel a sense of satisfaction at the moment of solving the puzzle, which was hundreds of times better than any beautiful music! !

in spite of,

His targets are anyone who falls into his trap.

Such happiness has already made all the people who were attacked willingly accept it all and then bow down before him!

[Ashamed. As an old fan of Moonlight and Cat, I admit that before Brother Dong interpreted it, I really had no patience for this song "Moonlight".]

[It turns out that I am the kind of formalist that Moonlight Brother scolded, woo woo woo]

[I was wrong. I will listen to Moonlight Brother’s music carefully in the future and never listen to it without thinking! ]

[This is so awesome. Although I was scolded by Brother Yueguang, I still felt great after listening to Brother Dong’s interpretation.]

[Isn't it? It's not the first time that I've been shocked by the hidden goods of Brother Yue Guang, but every time I really feel that I lose my temper because of Brother Yue Guang's talent! ]

On the commentary stage,

As the music continued to get better, the two commentators finally became convinced of their guess.

Unconsciously,
Maple Leaf actually wiped his slightly moist eyes.

Emotionally:
"I didn't expect that I could actually understand Teacher Lin Tian's song."

Fengye was so moved by the honor of meeting his idol and the excitement of having successfully deciphered the secret that he could not help himself.
"Teacher Lin Tian has really brought classical music to life."

Zhuye sighed,

"After all, it is already difficult for Mr. Lin Tian to surpass me in the creation of classical music. It is not something that ordinary people can do to find a new way to achieve such a level."

"Teacher Gan Yanyu's performance is also indispensable." Fengye said.

If it weren't for Teacher Gan Yanyu's superb performance that just made everyone feel like they were there, allowing everyone to see a moonlit scene that was so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

There was absolutely no way they could understand so quickly the illusion of a false heyday that Teacher Lin Tian conveyed to them through music.

Such a talented composer, and also a top-notch cellist who can perfectly convey his music.

Two people like this
Why can't they represent Chinese music?

"."

Maple Leaf didn't say this out loud.

Instead, he turned his gaze back to the stage.

Back to the original question.

why,
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu are going to play such a piece of music in the semi-finals of the Longqin Cup?

Is it just to scold the audience and let everyone enjoy the fun of solving the problem?
To do this, risk being eliminated?

The price is too high!

——The answer is actually very obvious.

"."

"Turning over the table."

Zhang Dong, who was in the live broadcast room, said what the two commentators did not dare to say on the commentary desk.

“What’s been overturned is the table of music of this era!”

"Brother Moonlight and Mao-chan stepped onto this stage with the attitude of being ready to die!"

Zhang Dong said excitedly,

"For this reason, they were willing to offend the judges, offend the pop music audience, and even criticize their own listeners and fans, just to perform "Moonlight" on stage!"

Zhang Dong is an up-master on Bilibili.

He knows it all too well.

In this fast-paced, traffic-first era,
Culture, knowledge, many things that we were familiar with and seemed serious in the past have changed. This includes classical music.

When young people edited the classical music of Moonlight and Cats into a 15-second short video BGM, it became widely circulated.

When the audience at the concert held up their mobile phones to take "real-life check-in photos of the moonlight and the cat", they were actually participating in a false classical carnival. What they consumed was no longer the music itself, but the simulation of "participating in classical music".

It has already fully demonstrated the sadness of the times.

For this, Moonlight and the cat - no one would blame them.

They started out by relying on short videos, and became popular because of this formalistic traffic.

They compromised with the times and used such traffic to promote classical music, and naturally they would also suffer the backlash brought by the traffic.

Zhang Dong himself understood it.

But what Zhang Dong could not have imagined was that
Obviously, it has achieved such a huge success, riding on the trend of short video platforms and rising all the way.
Moonlight and the cat chose to overturn the table.

“This song is to bring classical music back to its original position!”

"We need to make everyone understand that classical music should be like this. The process of understanding it is inherently painful. There is no feedback for music that really needs to be savored and felt for its essence. There is more to it than just Moonlight! "

Zhang Dong said excitedly,

"From the beginning, Brother Moonlight and Mao Jiang may not have planned to win. They are here to destroy the prosperity they have built with their own hands. They just want to make everyone understand this matter as much as possible through this game!"

this method,

Their competition results, their album sales, and even their future development path
There is no benefit.

But they did it anyway.

"They really want to change the world."

Zhang Dong shed tears and said in a shocked voice.

From this moment on,

Moonlight and the cat became true "classical musicians".

When the last ninth chord faded away, Lin Tian's fingers were still on the B flat key, and Gan Yanyu's bow hovered one centimeter away from the string.

Lin Tian raised his head and gasped. Gan Yanyu in front of him turned his head and the two looked at each other.

Smile at each other.

Walk to the front desk and bow deeply.

The whole audience burst into warm applause.

backstage lounge,
Nanali, Bai Xi and a group of cellists, with their mouths slightly open, were so shocked that they couldn't utter a word.

In the top floor office,
Yao Han said nothing, but stared at the judges' panel with a slightly provocative look.

And at this moment,
On the judges' bench.

This is the place where communication is most necessary and where silence is not possible.

All the professors and musicians were silent.

Some people looked at the people around them with bitter expressions, some people gritted their teeth with a struggling look, and some people simply kept their heads down and pretended to be busy.

However, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu on the stage seemed not to care at all.

After bowing, the two looked at each other again and left the stage in a happy mood.

And it left a mess for the judges.

"."

A full 3 minutes passed.

The scene was plunged into a weird scene.

Obviously, the scoring should have been completed during the performance or within a few tens of seconds after the performance.

But now,
The vast majority of the judges were still reluctant to give a score.

At this moment, the judges began to discuss sporadically. But the scoring was not finished, and the next contestant could not go on stage.

There was silence at the scene.

"It seems that the scoring is very tense."

Zhuye said cautiously.

At this time, as a commentator, you have to come out to liven up the atmosphere, but you also have to make sure you don't say the wrong thing.

"Yeah, maybe the judges have their own ideas."

Maple Leaf was still immersed in the shock brought by the song just now, and spoke perfunctorily.

However, netizens in the official live broadcast room were so excited by this scene that they jumped up and down.

[No, what is there to be anxious about? ]

[Isn’t this piece of music awesome? ? Putting aside everything else, isn’t Gan Yanyu’s cello amazing? ? ]

[Damn, you're still thinking about it. Are you just thinking about how to eliminate them more reasonably? ]

[I can’t get off the stage! I can’t get off the stage! Are you afraid of being bullied after being eliminated? 】

[Stop acting. If you want to eliminate us, just give us the points. Our brother Lin Tian and sister Gan Yanyu don’t care! ]

【.】

Looking at the barrage, everyone was excited.

Maple Leaf could especially understand their feelings.

After all, in everyone's perspective.

Even if we put aside the most advanced concept of this song and only discuss the listening experience of the music itself.

This performance, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of abstract art, is definitely the highest level at this Longqin Cup.

What is there to discuss?!

There is only one possibility for a dispute to arise, and that is that an old man has bad intentions!

and,

The intention cannot be abandoned!

"."

In fact, only insiders like Maple Leaf know.

Controversy is the real hope for Moonlight and Cat.

If the scoring was completed in an instant, there would be only one possibility, that is, Teacher Gan Yanyu had been eliminated.

What exactly the controversy will be like is not something a small commentator like him can know.

Now, seeing that the judges were in a state of anxiety, although Fengye was very excited, he suppressed the emotion and continued to explain.

The topic of scoring was too sensitive, so Maple Leaf changed the subject.

He just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to say something.

"For those who don't like Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu's "Moonlight" this time, I won't say anything, but for those who like it, I hope that you will not just listen to it and then be done with it."

Maple Leaf once again showed his sincere feelings, not caring whether anyone could understand him or not, and said,
"I suggest that everyone, after returning home, play the B section of Moonlight, which is bars 35-50, ten times in a row."

“I can feel how Gan Yanyu uses the undercurrent of the bass to subvert the apparent tranquility. Only through this kind of ‘uncomfortable experience’ can we break the illusion of using classical music as a cultural sedative.”

“This is also what Teacher Lin Tian wants to express to everyone through this song.”

“I’m in a state of anxiety.”

in the office,

He Shumo looked at the situation on the judges' bench and said calmly,
"I didn't expect that Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu actually did it."

"Of course."

Yao Han almost laughed at it.
"The old guys thought that this time, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu would still bring out traditional classical music like before. Who knew that they would actually perform such a critical abstract music, and the object of criticism was so grand that they dared not treat it without caution."

"I thought someone would get angry and directly give it 0 points." He Shumo laughed dryly.

"how come."

Yao Han said,
"Now, they have to consider not only the impact of netizens' public opinion, but also the impact of the academic community."

If it were just as mentioned at the beginning, the biggest consequence would be to offend netizens and cause online public opinion.

The judges don’t care about these, they will still eliminate Gan Yanyu here without hesitation.

But now the bad thing is.

Lin Tian’s song “Moonlight” is so powerful!

It is no longer just an ordinary piece of classical music.

There are a lot of subversive anti-classical techniques: including decentralized musical texture, anti-climax emotional logic, materialized resistance of sound, and triple alienation of pseudo-classical consumer groups in today's era.
All of these will create an immortal legend in the history of music and open a new chapter in classical music.

But,

Anyone with a little musical knowledge can see it.

This song "Moonlight" is destined to go down in the history of music.

And, it can't be done well.

"Lin Tian's impressionist style" will start with this song.

Judging from the previous works of "Moonlight and Cat", this probability is very high.

In various aspects, the significance is too great.

Moreover, on a stage like the Longqin Cup, the objects of musical satire include the competition itself.

In the academic community, no one will sit idly by.

“They can ignore the influence of online public opinion, but they cannot ignore the voice of the academic community.”

Yao Han said.

This is the most powerful part of Lin Tian’s song “Moonlight”!
It was almost like a knife, stabbing the jury's aorta.

"Besides, the jury is not a monolithic group. The conservatives who originally planned to keep silent in the interests of the association may change their minds after watching this performance, right?"

Two pressures come together.

This ultimately led to the jury being in such an embarrassing situation now.

“But I still think.”

After hearing this, He Shumo looked towards the stage.

"In the end, the jury still won't let Gan Yanyu advance."

The hatred from 16 years ago.

too heavy.

"."

“Latest news.”

At this moment, Zhuye and Fengye on the commentary desk received instructions in their headsets.

Both of them showed shocked expressions.

Then, I adjusted immediately.

Report to the audience:

"Since more than eight of our judges have indicated that they will need some time to make their assessments, in order not to delay the continuation of the competition, the next contestant will now go on stage."

".In a moment, during the intermission, the jury will hold a separate meeting and make a score after discussion!"

As soon as this word comes out,
Not only the audience was in an uproar, but the cellists in the lounge were also excited.

"Is there any precedent for holding a separate meeting before giving the grade?"

"Oh my god, I've never seen this before!"

"No way, why are we so nervous?! We also need to convene a jury?"

"Haha, only the Longqin Cup dared to do this. If it were any other competition, they would have been accused of shady dealings by the time the meeting started!"

Among the many cellists, some were surprised, some were just having fun, and more were feeling excited.

"You must win! Teacher Gan Yanyu!"

“Classical music’s final card must win!”

"If a work like this is eliminated, even if I advance to the finals, I will find this competition meaningless!"

After the song "Moonlight" just now.

After seeing Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, even though they were on the verge of being eliminated, they still came up with such songs in an attempt to continue to influence the music industry.

More and more cellists, even those who have no interest in classical music, are now beginning to admire them from the bottom of their hearts.

At the same time, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, who heard the news, also became confused.

They sat in the lounge, just waiting for the trial to come.

Break time.

Baijing International Concert Hall, in the conference room.

The judges gathered here and continued their heated debate over the scores that had not been completed just now.

The keywords "classical music", "Gan Yanyu" and "Moonlight" appeared at an extremely high frequency, and the scene was in chaos.

And just when the discussion was most intense.

The door to the conference room opened.

"Can I say a few words?"

A majestic and strong figure walked in.

Several judges sitting in the front row suddenly widened their eyes:
"Teacher Tuoba, you."
