My girlfriend is a cellist

89 points.
A score never imagined.

When the scores come out,
Not only were the audience in the audience sobbing, but the cellists backstage were also completely dumbfounded.

"(Teacher Steven has just arrived, and the judging style of the entire judging panel has changed so much.)"

“(Teacher Meyer is fourth in Group B! If he only gets 89 points, what should I do?)”

“(This is too strict! I can’t find any fault with Mr. Meyer’s performance!)”

In the live broadcast room,

Zhang Dong even showed an expression of despair.

"Modern pop music. Popular aesthetics. Flawless performance. This is the answer to the version."

"He even has a background in the International Music Association!"

"If even a pianist like this only scored 89 points, then the rest..."

Zhang Dong didn't dare to say any more.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the big screen, giving the judges their perspective at this moment.

Steven, who had unconsciously dominated the scoring just now, calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot water. There was no expression on his weather-beaten face.

It was as if the "89 points" that had just caused a tsunami had nothing to do with him.

"From a professional perspective, 89 points is not without reason. Although Meyer's cello is excellent, it is too stable. If it were put in the finals, it would lack creativity. How many points it would get depends on the judges' personal preference for 'stable playing'."

He Shumo stroked his chin and analyzed the performance seriously.
"But I didn't expect that at the beginning of the game, I was given a score of 89."

At this point, He Shumo couldn't help but curse, "Fuck!"

For a "stable" performance like this, different judges will have different scoring criteria.

But normally, the lower limit is never low, not to mention that Meyer is also a very good cellist.

Even though he knew that Steven might apply more stringent standards to today's competition, he never expected that Meyer's performance would get such a low score.

This means there is only one possibility.

Today, Steven was determined to make this finals something "different".

"As expected of Mr. Steven, his moves are unexpected."

Seeing this scene, Yao Han couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly,
"It seems like today's game will be exciting."

Backstage lounge.

Australian pianist Meyer pushed open the door of the lounge almost in a daze and returned to the room.

Friends immediately came over to comfort him, but Meyer just raised his hand to stop them, then staggered back to his resting place.

The whole person kept his head down and had no expression on his face, looking like a tool with his soul taken away.

"(How pitiful)"

Connor gave him a sympathetic look.

“(I thought I could at least get into the top three and get a trophy, but in the end I didn’t even get 90 points)”

Perez couldn't help but say,

"(Grandpa must be completely embarrassed, right?)"

Seeing Meyer like this.

The air in the entire lounge seemed to have dropped several degrees.

Everyone's expression became solemn.

This is the first contestant
What should the people behind do?
Even Gan Yanyu was somewhat affected by the cold air around her. She subconsciously hugged her arms and whispered to Lin Tian:
“I’m a little cold.”

Lin Tian immediately took off his suit jacket and covered Gan Yanyu with it.

"Maybe the air conditioning here is turned on too low." Lin Tian said.

"Are you nervous?"

Gan Yanyu carefully raised her head and looked into Lin Tian's eyes.

Almost all cellists can see that.

Teacher Steven's sudden appearance today was most likely aimed at the two players, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.

Now, the first of Steven's victims has appeared.

Everyone was trembling.

As Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were the ones being targeted, they should be doubly nervous than the other pianists.

After all, even modern pop music has ended up like this, not to mention their classical music!
"What's there to be nervous about?"

Lin Tian smiled.
"Don't you think we made a profit?"

"Profit?"

Gan Yanyu couldn't understand why Lin Tian said that.

"Because of the appearance of Mr. Steven, everyone's scores may drop now, but whether he comes or not, we are going to be targeted anyway."

"Now, because of our presence, a large group of pianists who could have competed normally have become nervous. Everyone is in a bad mood now. Do you think we are making a profit?"

Lin Tian said with a smile.

This is like the attitude of a student with poor grades towards a math test.

For some students who are already doing extremely poorly, they really wish that the math paper in the college entrance examination every year would be a little more difficult.

In this way, both average and top students will be stumped by these difficult questions, resulting in a low overall average score.

But for poor students, we just guess the answers to multiple-choice questions in the exam, and the probability is one-quarter! No matter how difficult the questions are, what impact does it have?
The more difficult the question, the smaller the difference in scores will be.

Even if the poor students cannot get any marks on the set questions that used to give them free marks, the points they lose because the test paper is too difficult are far less than the gap between the average students and the top students in an exam that drives them crazy.

This is also the case now.

Even though it was almost clear that Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were going to be targeted by this Steven.

But because of his appearance, everyone's scores became lower and everyone became nervous.
How can this not be considered a “bloody profit”?

Of course, Lin Tian said this mainly to comfort Gan Yanyu.

In fact, of course he knew that even pop music was like this, and he and Gan Yanyu would definitely be hit hard by the guys on the judges' panel.

However, at this time, I can only comfort myself in this way.

"Wow, Lin Tian, ​​what you said makes a lot of sense."

Gan Yanyu raised her head and widened her eyes.

"right."

Lin Tian smiled triumphantly and touched Gan Yanyu's head.

Didn't give everyone much time to think.

Following the calls from the radio, the cellists were pushed onto the stage as if they were being pushed to an execution ground.

"(Lawson Polk, final score: 91.32!)"

"(Alan Perez, final score: 94.23!)"

"(Noel Perkins, final score: 92.51!)"

"."

A series of players who appeared on the stage completely shattered everyone's fantasy.

Some people were still hoping for the best, thinking that it was just because Meyer had stepped on Steven's red line that the score was so low.

result,

As the players came out one after another, almost everyone's scores were much lower than in the second stage, which completely confirmed what happened today.

Teacher Steven is here today to sort out the Cole Cup!
Inside the live broadcast room, Zhang Dong couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Whenever it came to the scoring stage, Zhang Dong would cover his eyes and hypnotize himself, and when the results came out, he would be scared half to death.

A question was raised in the comments:

[They scored low, shouldn't we be happy? ]

[These people are all rivals! ]

"You know nothing!"

Zhang Dong yelled at the fans,
"You don't know who Steven is targeting today, right?!" "All these people are just appetizers. His real prey is our Brother Moonlight and Cat-chan!"

"These people have fallen into this state. Do you think our Moonlight Brother and Cat-chan can still keep their bodies intact?"

Speaking of which,

Zhang Dong covered his head in fear and couldn't help but start to think wildly.

Maybe Gan Yanyu won't even get 90 points today. No! Even 80 points or even 70 points are possible!

The worst result is not getting the trophy, which is not terrible.

What's scary is that in this Kerr Cup finals, we got a score that was so low that it was extremely shameful.
That would be horrible!

There are 11 contestants in total, and he is ranked 11th. He is not even as good as Senior Gan Hua 16 years ago!

There were only eight people in the Ganhua finals that year!!
The competition is so popular this year, and so many people have high hopes for Moonlight and Cat. If the score is less than 70 points, I can’t imagine what a dark next era the Chinese cello will face.

The last dark age lasted 16 years, what about this time?!
This time, we finally see the light of hope. How many more years of darkness will it take? ? 20? 30?

Damn it, we can’t wait for Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s grandson to participate in the competition? ! !
The more Zhang Dong thought about it, the more panicked he became.

Perhaps because he had never seen the goddess of hope favor the moonlight and the cat, he fell into deep pessimism.

Look at the live broadcast.

When another scoring session was over, Steven put away the cap of his fountain pen like a sword being sheathed, and showed no expression as usual.

Zhang Dong was so angry that he cursed, "Are you pretending to be a M?"

It’s this old guy, he’s the most pretentious one!
At this point in the competition, all six contestants have finished performing.

He didn't show any expression at all. Apart from communicating with others during the scoring process and using his influence to influence the entire jury, he didn't say a word.

“How can you act recklessly just because you have more experience?”

Zhang Dong was still outputting, but the super administrator warned him at this time.

【Official broadcast room, please pay attention to the impact. 】

Upon seeing this, Zhang Dong slapped himself twice.

Hastily!
I thought it was the kind of abstract live broadcast I used to do, where I could talk nonsense casually.

Now he has an officially authorized live broadcast room.

If I were to comment on "Steven" casually, I'd probably disappear from the music industry tomorrow.
Zhang Dong could only grit his teeth and swallow the anger in his heart.

At this time, a high-level water friend appeared in the live broadcast room and commented:
[Is it possible that we have all wrongly blamed Mr. Steven, and that he was just targeting pop music and using the same standards as classical music? That is why all pop music has been given low scores.]

"."

Zhang Dong frowned and thought about it carefully.

It seems to make some sense!

At this time, a contestant came on the screen.

—Hypnos Brian.

Ranked second in Group B in the second stage.

Seeing this name, Zhang Dong quickly remembered it.

This is also a very powerful pop musician.

During the second stage of the competition, Isaac had just finished his performance and got a terrifying score of 98 points. Many people thought that Brian, who would be the next to perform, would definitely have a big failure.

As a result, this guy played the whole piece calmly and was not affected at all, and he even got a super high score of 97.

If Gan Yanyu wasn't behind him and was even more amazing than him, Brian would have firmly taken the first place in Group B.
However, he is likely to be in trouble.

Zhang Dong was buzzing with crickets in his heart.

Even Brian, that crazy old man, wouldn't give a decent score, right?

The six players who just appeared in succession have already proved this point.
Zhang Dong was still mumbling to his fans,

suddenly--

A burst of elegant and powerful music played.

Brian sat on the stage, his elegant tuxedo making him look tall, the bow in his hand constantly pulling the strings.

Noble!

as always,

Brian exudes a charming confidence that is unique to him.

The piece he played was a song that was closer in style to tango, giving people a sense of pop music with a hint of frivolity.

He had a smile on his face, as if he was not affected at all by the tragic fate of the six pianists.

"."

Lin Tian was slightly moved when he saw this scene.

He thought back to the second stage of the race.

When he and Gan Yanyu returned to the lounge, the other pianists looked at them strangely.

Instead, it was this person who had laughed and ridiculed them before the game.

Be open and apologize.

This is a truly strong and confident heart.

Even someone as narrow-minded as Lin Tian completely changed his opinion of him.

This person really has some aristocratic aura.

The extremely elegant music is still playing.

Accompanied by a strong sense of rhythm, many audiences also started to shake their heads happily.

In between performances,

Brian raised his eyes and scanned the audience and judges below the stage.

——Just watch.

This is the pride that comes from the Bryan family, and it is in their bones!

Even if you guys are disdainful and show me such disgusting looks, I don't care.

Brian thought so in his heart.

And the moment I saw Teacher Steven.

A look of reverence immediately appeared in his eyes.

Although Steven still had that indifferent look.

But Brian already showed an even happier smile.

He is like a peacock, showing off his charm confidently and generously, and not caring about anyone else's eyes.

For Brian,
This stadium is truly worthy of his respect and he should play for it.

There were only Isaac, Gan Yanyu, and the judge in front of them, Mr. Steven.

As for other people's opinions, he doesn't care!

"."

This kind of charm is endowed in his music.

Accompany him and play the whole process.

When Brian's playing was over.

This time, the discussion time of the judges was obviously longer than before.

Finally, the broadcast voice sounded:

"(Hypnos Bryan, final score, 97.84!)"

“Higher than the second stage??!”

Zhang Dong immediately sat up from his chair and said in horror.

He couldn't help thinking,

Since then.
Teacher Steven, I don’t have any objection to pop music at all!
He just looked down on every weak person here equally! (End of this chapter)
