Chapter 128 Bai Xi: A Charming Performance

Lin Tian was stunned, turned around and found that Bai Xi was indeed talking to him.

"Do you know me?"

"Teacher Lin Tian!"

Bai Xi immediately showed a happy smile, walked up, and shook Lin Tian's hand enthusiastically, "I have heard of you for a long time, I have heard of you for a long time!"

"?"

Lin Tian pulled his hand out.

He didn't remember any "famous name" of his that would make the cellist admire him for a long time.

"I watched you and Teacher Gan Yanyu perform at the Soul Concert. It was the first time I knew that there was such a skilled pianist in Qingzhou."

Bai Xi said this, his eyes full of admiration.

His attitude was even worse than when he faced Gan Yanyu just now.

"Yes, thank you."

Lin Tian nodded, his expression still not changing much.

He admitted that it was not easy for someone to notice him at that concert.

However, given his position, he always felt that this girl was a little weird.

"Can I ask what your relationship is with Teacher Gan Yanyu?"

Bai Xi asked.

"partner."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, and Lin Tian has nothing to hide.

"Is that all?"

“The best partner.”

Lin Tian repeated.

“That’s great!”

Bai Xi smiled brightly and moved closer to Lin Tian as she spoke.

"Teacher Bai Xi, if you just want to praise me, thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I don't have time to accompany you now."

Lin Tian said politely first, took a step back, and then said,

"Also, stay away from me - I'm afraid Gan Yanyu will misunderstand."

“.”

Soon, Lin Tian saw what Sichuan Opera face-changing was.

The smile on Bai Xi's face disappeared instantly.

It was replaced by——

The girl gave him a meaningful look.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Don't worry, I just want to talk to Teacher Lin Tian."

"What are you talking about?"

"I've heard some rumors recently - of course, they're just rumors, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​you don't have to rush to refute them."

Bai Xi stood on tiptoe, walked around Lin Tian, ​​and

“After disappearing for more than a year, he came back with great improvement. His concert shocked many people.

Gan Yanyu, who was previously called a ‘walking classical score’ by the association, has changed her playing style greatly after her return. Not only has she abandoned her previous playing style, but she has also injected emotions into her music that were not there before.”

"It is rumored that this is because Gan Yanyu met a good teacher who not only helped her complete the transformation of her playing style, but also allowed her to fully unleash her talent in classical music."

"But, Mr. Gan has been with Gan Yanyu for such a long time before, but he didn't achieve such results. What's more, Mr. Gan had a car accident some time ago, so it's impossible for him to continue to stay with Gan Yanyu."

Bai Xi stopped and stared at Lin Tian closely.

"Teacher Lin Tian, ​​who else could this 'teacher' be other than Elder Gan?"

"Yeah, who is it?"

Lin Tian stroked his chin and thought seriously, "Maybe it was Elder Gan who came to me in a dream."

"Haha, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​you really know how to joke."

Bai Xi smiled.

In fact, it was already obvious what the answer was that she was going to say.

“I have always felt that an excellent manager who can appreciate and train a musician is much more powerful than the musician himself. It is easy to find musicians, but it is difficult to find soulmates.”

"I'm a high school student, not a manager."

"So, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​you admit it?"

"You've made your point so clearly? Is there any need to play word games?"

“.”

Lin Tian was used to getting along with Gan Yanyu, and when he saw her speaking in a roundabout way, he really wanted to punch her.

"Teacher Lin Tian."

Bai Xi raised his butt, sat down on the table, and looked at Lin Tian.

There is a burning look in his eyes:

"Are you interested? I'll play it for you sometime."

"I'm not interested. I'm very busy. I have to cook for Gan Yanyu every day."

Lin Tian refused decisively.

"I know your concerns, Teacher Lin Tian. I definitely don't have the same thoughts as you think. I know that an excellent teacher like you always chooses his students by himself and will not be shaken by what others say."

"I just want to play for you once and hear your opinion."

"I think you must have misunderstood something."

Lin Tian didn’t know what bad intentions Bai Xi had.

But based on these two sentences, he could probably understand her thoughts.

Therefore, Lin Tian did not give her a perfunctory answer, but said seriously, "The relationship between Gan Yanyu and I is not what you imagine, a 'manager' and a 'musician'. We are just ordinary high school students. Of course, maybe unconsciously, it is indeed a bit like what you said."

"But I hope you understand that we two have accomplished each other."

Lin Tian said seriously.

In his interactions with Gan Yanyu, Lin Tian might indeed sometimes act as a producer.

For example, in this process, Lin Tian has always been able to obtain the joy of "cultivation", and sometimes Lin Tian himself also likes this kind of joy.

But in fact, most of the time, the two of them are partners with a common dream.

For Lin Tian, ​​it was a great pleasure to find a musician who could play the song he brought with him so perfectly.

Moreover, unknowingly, Lin Tian himself has been affected.

From the beginning, if it weren’t for the system, I probably wouldn’t have touched music. Until now, during the art examination process, I have gradually felt the charm of music, and now I am ready to go all out.

All of these were brought to him by Gan Yanyu.

"From what you said just now, I don't feel that you respect my partner. I'm already giving you face by being able to talk to you until now."

Lin Tian finished politely.

“.”

Bai Xi was stunned for a long while.

Then, he said, "So what did you like about Teacher Gan Yanyu?"

"Of course all of them."

Lin Tian suddenly laughed and said in a rather nonsensical way,

"I'm a little fan of Teacher Gan."

"ah?"

Bai Xi was caught off guard by Lin Tian's sudden change of expression.

It was clearly her who started it, but now Lin Tian made it impossible for her to continue.

She paused for a while and finally showed a lack of interest.

"All right."

Bai Xi smoothed her black skirt and got down from the table.

He said to Lin Tian seriously: "Teacher Lin Tian, ​​please watch my performance carefully for a while."

No harsh words were said.

There are no strings attached.

He just turned his head and glanced at Lin Tian.

The corners of his mouth lifted up in a hint of playful confidence.

It seemed that he was saying something that was familiar to Lin Tian——

If you are a musician, let’s use music to express it.

Then he turned and left.

Lin Tian was left standing there in a daze, his mind filled with the conversation between the two people just now. When he was sitting on the table, he was exposed.

Black, triangle, lace edge.

It's fucking awesome! I have to share this with Teacher Gan.

Lin Tian rubbed his hands and turned back to look for Gan Yanyu.

After finding Gan Yanyu’s makeup booth, Lin Tian walked over.

At this time, Gan Yanyu had already applied the base makeup and was contouring her face.

Seeing Lin Tian coming over, Gan Yanyu asked:

"What were you talking about with Bai Xi just now?"

"Nothing, she wanted to give me a solo, but I said no."

".oh."

Gan Yanyu's pupils dilated slightly.

The girl nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, I got a lot of useful information."

Lin Tian said seriously, "Don't worry, I have seen through your number one opponent, Bai Xi!"

"ah?"

Soon, the host's voice was heard on the big screen in the lounge.

"Dear judges, distinguished guests and dear audience friends. In the lounge, everyone quickly raised their heads and looked at the big screen.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu also looked over and saw Bai Xi walking towards the stage.

"The one who is about to take the stage is contestant No. 1 from the professional group, the young performer Bai Xi!"

It’s actually the first one.

Lin Tian was a little surprised.

It was clearly the last minute of preparation, but he still had the leisure to chat with me? Gan Yanyu drew number 7.

"7" is good, Lin Tian likes this number.

It feels like getting kicked out of the quarterfinals.

Seriously speaking, if you arrive too early in the morning, you may not be prepared easily, and if you arrive too late in the evening, you may become more nervous because of the long waiting time.

The number in the middle is just right for Gan Yanyu.

“.”

After skipping a series of personal introductions and historical honors, the host said, "Please enjoy Bai Xiwei's performance - Golden Dance."

Bai Xi walked to the center of the stage and sat on a chair.

She gently lifted her skirt and set up the cello.

As she gently pulled the bow——

A lyrical and gentle piano sound came from the TV.

“.”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Sounds good.

Lin Tian felt this almost as his first reaction.

The "good-sounding" here does not mean "good-sounding" in the traditional sense.

But compared to other music, it is obvious that Bai Xi's song can give people a more cheerful feeling.

“It’s pop music.”

Gan Yanyu on the side spoke up.

"Pop music?"

"Yes, rather than expressing emotions, pop music focuses more on emotional resonance with the audience and serves the audience's listening experience."

"I see."

Lin Tian nodded.

Understand it in a simple and crude way.

Compared to other music, pop music is more like barbecue at a roadside stall.

Tasty, but not very nutritious.

I have to say that Bai Xi is very brave.

You know, the cello itself has little to do with pop music. It is not like the piano, which can be perfectly integrated with any element of music.

It is a song that is very picky about the style of the song.

“.”

You can tell from Gan Yanyu's furrowed brows.

It’s not easy! If you want to play pop music on the cello, the first step is to arrange the music yourself and make it suitable for cello solo.

Then, in the competition, the cello must focus on the main melody of a popular song, impressing the judges and the audience with highly skilled performance.

Then, the most important thing is: during the performance, you must be good at using techniques such as glissando and vibrato to make the music more vivid and expressive.

Also, the contrast between staccato and legato enhances the rhythm and dynamics, making the solo more pop music-like.

This is a huge challenge for the performers.

It can be said that this is just adding difficulty to yourself! Whether it is "pop music", "classical music", or any other kind of music.

On the Star Cup stage.

In theory, there should be no extra points option.

What music to play is purely based on personal preference. Different styles, of course, have different judging criteria.

However, in the competition, playing pop music with cello was considered beyond the scope in Lin Tian's opinion.

Otherwise, it can be said that he is a wild person who graduated from high school! Those professional students from academic institutions may never be able to do such a job!

So,

Bai Xi playing pop music on the stage of Star Cup.

How did she perform? "."

The reactions of other people in the lounge at this moment have already given the answer.

"It's really Bai Xi, the one who participated in the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra's special solo performance last year."

"So strong. He's the first one to play, but he's in great shape!"

"She is worthy of being the runner-up of the last Yingqin Cup. Who can compete with her this year?"

“.”

Many contestants were talking to each other.

An extremely low-pressure atmosphere quickly spread in the lounge.

Lin Tian could probably understand this feeling.

In film and television works, everything is a competition.

Those who come on stage first often don't end up with anything good.

Because of the need for drama, the response to the later performance must be better than that to the earlier performance, which is in line with the expectation of progressive emotional development.

However, this rule.

It doesn't seem to work well on Bai Xi.

The "Golden Dance" performed by the young girl brings a moving melody that makes people's hormones rise in the dance hall.

The music is gentle and lingering. Its lyricism is not like the classical music played by Gan Yanyu, which is full of deep affection "with tears".

Bai Xi's lyricism is more like that of a charming socialite, elegant but not vulgar. She is in the center of the stage, showing her graceful charm. Her tears are dry tears.

Very beautiful.

Lin Tian looked a little dazed.

Unconsciously, I think of black, triangle, and lace.

Should I say it or not?

Very strong.

It was stronger than Lin Tian expected.

Not only did she bring out pop music on the cello competition stage, but she also used it to 200% effect.

Both the technique and emotional expression are first-class.

Worthy of being the runner-up!

Lin Tian also felt the same way in his heart.

No wonder Gan Yanyu specifically mentioned this person in the car.

He is indeed a strong rival of Gan Yanyu in the Longqin Cup this year.

“.”

On the big screen, Bai Xi, who was playing the bow, raised his head and glanced at the camera for a moment.

Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat.

Recall the conversation just now.

Is this the music Bai Xi wants him to hear?

What does she want to express?

You are unique and you don’t need anything to prove it.

Or... watching Bai Xi exuding her charm to the opposite sex on the stage.

Lin Tian didn’t know if it was an illusion.

Those eyes seemed to be saying:

Have you ever considered becoming my "little fan"? Is this her plan?

I have to say, it's really sexy, and most men probably can't stand it.

However, Lin Tian obviously didn't like this.

Bai Xi's performance ended.

The lounge soon fell into an atmosphere of despair.

Many players have already started to stick together for warmth.

"How can pop music be played like this?"

"It's over, it's over. I feel like what I played was a mess. What should I do?"

"What makes me sad is not that I met Bai Xi here, but that I will meet her again at the Yingqin Cup next month."

"23 years old. What kind of monster is this? Putting the strongest one first, do you think the people behind us can't handle pressure well enough?"

“.”

No matter what competition it is, it is indeed a bit torturous to put the favorite to win the championship in the first performance.

Who wouldn't be nervous after watching such a performance? However, Lin Tian was still very optimistic.

Strong is indeed strong.

But, we have Gan Yanyu for just a wild way!

Lin Tian turned around and was about to say something cool.

Then all of a sudden I saw Gan Yanyu curled up in a chair, frantically drawing five-pointed stars on her thighs.

"It's over. It's over."

"Sit down!"

Lin Tian pinched Gan Yanyu's thigh under her skirt and forced her to refresh the drawing board.

The latter stretched his legs straight, raised his head, and showed an innocent look.

"I"

"The competition is about to start, are you going to give up now?"

"No. I'm just. Nervous."

Gan Yanyu played with her fingers and said weakly.

It is impossible to retreat or escape.

But for Gan Yanyu, being scared half to death is very likely.

At this time, Gan Yanyu had already put on her makeup.

Sitting there, she looked a little less youthful, yet more beautiful than ever.

"Oh, yes, your hair tie."

Lin Tian noticed that Gan Yanyu was still in the radiant state.

She untied the hair tie on her wrist and placed it in Gan Yanyu's palm.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gan, just play."

Lin Tian said, "I will always be your number one fan."
