Chapter 163 Yingqin Cup Tournament Preview (4K) (asking for monthly tickets)
After returning home, the process for the next few days was relatively simple.
Thanks to He Zhichen's presence, the signing process went smoothly, and the studio was slowly built up as expected. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Especially after Lin Tian mentioned the most important issue of "music" copyright sharing - since Lin Tian had made a mistake once before, he was paying extra attention. He Zhichen was also conducting intense negotiations with his superiors on behalf of Lin Tian.
According to He Zhichen, he has sufficient data to prove to the top management the huge commercial value of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu Music, so it is not difficult to negotiate a share that is most beneficial to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian didn’t know exactly how He Zhichen boasted.
But just based on the fact that he had the guts to boast to Lin Tian about 180,000 CD sales before signing the contract, a number that Lin Tian himself couldn't even imagine, Lin Tian could only say, believe it!
Compared to other messy things, what bothered Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu the most was the seemingly inconspicuous stage name.
“.”
"What should I call you?"
At Lin Tian’s home, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu had a serious discussion.
The question is what name to use to release the album.
In fact, in the past few years, many singers and music bloggers have debuted on Tik Tok and Bilibili, and have transformed from internet celebrities to official idols.
Almost without exception, they all gave up their online names and adopted stage names that were closer to their real names.
After all, [Moonlight and Cat] is just an online name no matter how you look at it.
But if you use your real name, it would be equivalent to exposing your true identity in advance.
Although the release of "One Step Away" has almost completely confirmed the information that Moonlight and Mao are natives of Qingzhou, many people in the local music circle have begun to speculate about the identities of Gan Yanyu and Lin Tian.
A native of Qingzhou, a high school student, 18 years old, and he only plays the songs of Moonlight and Cats in every game.
These buffs stack together.
Many people in the Qingzhou music circle have already determined that the two are Moonlight and Cat.
The only thing missing is the solid evidence.
I think when the Yingqin Cup officially starts, it will be very lively and attract a group of spectators who want to be verified.
However, although many people already believe this, in front of the extremely high popularity of Moonlight and Cat, Gan Yanyu, who is only famous in the Qingjiang music circle, has not yet become popular enough to break out of the circle.
On Weibo, the traffic of posts that discuss the real identities of the two people at length is not high.
To put it bluntly, many people discussed this, but most of it was covered up.
[Moonlight and Cat] Every video has a lot of hot search topics, and the posts discussing unboxing don’t even have any solid evidence, so it’s really not worth mentioning.
We need explosive news, something that can prove solid, to completely detonate this matter before we have a chance.
This matter can actually be the debut of "Moonlight and Cat".
"Let's look at the two teachers."
In a WeChat call, He Zhichen said, "In fact, taking off the vest is a matter of a moment. With the current popularity of the two teachers, the announcement of the release of the album and MV is basically enough to top the hot search list of major websites. Exposing the real name is just to add icing on the cake to their popularity.
I personally think that this matter can be used as a useful tool. Since no one has proved it yet, it doesn't matter what they guess. We can wait until the day when we need this bomb to detonate traffic and then take it out.
It can be used to 'change the subject' when a rhythm appears, or it can be used when sprinting to the HX-board charts. It is a very useful killer weapon - of course, if you simply don't want to continue to wear a vest and want to use the opportunity of the first album to announce it now, it is also fine. It mainly depends on the wishes of the two teachers. "
He Zhichen's advice is completely from the perspective of a professional music agent.
Lin Tian also felt that it made sense.
Especially the one about public relations, it really touched Lin Tian’s heart.
For example: If Lin Tian's topless private abdominal muscle photo is accidentally exposed, it will cause chaos on the Internet, and women all over the world will fight over it, fighting to the death to become Lin Tian's wife. At this time, a more explosive news is needed to divert the topic.
You can't just expose the photo of your lower body again, right?
However, if you must say, Lin Tian is not short of such "breaking news".
Anyway, even if the vest is taken off, a new one will appear after a while.
Of course it’s the official Weibo announcement of Lin Tian and Miss Gan Yanyu!
When the time comes, all the little fans on the Internet will come over to celebrate for me! "."
After explaining the reasons from a professional perspective, He Zhichen also did not forget to consider the perspectives of the two people and played the role of "head of the family":
"If you are not interested in being in the spotlight, I don't think it's necessary to expose yourself at this time. After all, the two teachers are still high school students, right? It will be a big trouble for the school and their families. Besides, the place where the two teachers live now is not a difficult place to find. Private fans are very scary."
really.
Gan Yanyu didn't know what to do.
Anyway, Lin Tian felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it.
The security guard in this old neighborhood always looks drained of energy. It's hard to say who would fall to the ground first, him or the other party, if they really get into trouble.
However, if you want to talk about what's so great about this seemingly half-dead security guard, he does have some great qualities.
If you go out after 12 o'clock at night, you have to pay a 5 yuan entrance fee.
Whether you are a resident or a tenant, you must give it, and the main goal is equality for all.
If there are really illegitimate fans who sneak in, if they don't pay when they leave, they will be surprised to find that Lao Deng, who was still very old when he came, miraculously showed extraordinary spirit and energy, staring at you with a pair of eyes. No matter what you have, you have to spend gold coins! It was because Lin Tian went to the coffee shop on the first floor every time he went out that he was able to escape unscathed.
“.”
"What do you think, Mr. Gan?"
Getting back to the topic, Lin Tian asked Gan Yanyu for her opinion.
"I think I'll consider this matter after I win the Yingqin Cup."
"Why?"
"Lin Tian, think about it. If it is exposed at this time, and they search for [Gan Yanyu] [Lin Tian], and see only the runner-up of the Star Cup and some unreputable resumes, they will be very disappointed. Yes.
Gan Yanyu didn't say the second half of her sentence - she didn't care about her own evaluation, what was more important was Mr. Gan's reputation.
Teacher Gan still cares so much about grandpa's reputation.
It would be fine if we had won the Star Cup last time, but it would be very embarrassing if we lost.
Lin Tian is very clear about the nature of fans.
Once it is exposed and people find out that Moonlight and Cat are professional musicians, there will inevitably be a lot of true fans who will start praising them and criticizing them everywhere.
When the time comes, passers-by will see that he is the runner-up in a folk competition.
It's a mess! The first CJB in the music industry - well deserved! As the highest honor for the provincial cello, if I can win the Yingqin Cup championship and then expose this vest, the effect will definitely be explosive.
By then, the news of [Moonlight and Cat’s true identities revealed] and [Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu won the Parrot Qin Cup championship] will come out together. Haha.
It's just like Trump winning 312 electoral votes and becoming the most powerful president in a century.
By then, the fans' cohesion will be unprecedented, and Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu will really be able to call the wind and rain.
“Then let’s settle it. We’ll officially announce my identity after I win the Yingqin Cup.” Lin Tian said.
"Hmm, what about the name?"
"We are a team, so let's continue using the group name."
Anyway, we're used to calling them that, so there's nothing wrong with calling them moonlight and cat.
If you don't like it, there are other combinations like Milk Coffee and Phoenix Legend next door.
If it weren’t for the explosion of short video platforms, many people who have been listening to Phoenix Legend for 20 years might not know the real names of Zeng Yi and Ling Hua.
After discussing this, He Zhichen said:
"Okay, I'll get busy now. The plan for the MV will probably be ready next week. The two teachers will be competing the day after tomorrow, so do your best!"
"Um."
The phone was hung up.
Lin Tian took a deep breath and lay down on the sofa.
I am indeed a little tired.
Releasing an album and posting a TikTok are two completely different things. The things that need to be considered are on a different level.
“Ding Dong~”
Phone notification tone.
Lin Tian picked up his phone and found that He Zhichen had sent him another message.
[Teacher Lin Tian, it was inconvenient to talk on the phone just now. When will you confess your feelings? ]
No, you are more anxious than me? ?
Lin Tian was a little frightened and replied:
[It’s probably around this time.]
[Teacher Lin Tian, from my point of view, it is best to do this as soon as possible. What if Teacher Gan Yanyu loses the game, how will you speak up?]
Good, good, that's quite a comprehensive consideration.
Lin Tian is really grateful to He Zhichen for his "comprehensiveness". It's really unlucky.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
[However, if you really lose, I can also make a new plan for you in terms of "how to comfort a depressed girl and win her heart"]
Lin Tian didn't read the message.
After hearing what He Zhichen said, he felt a little guilty.
The day after tomorrow is the preliminary round of the Yingqin Cup.
Considering that the old man named Tuoba Jianhui said such harsh words before.
It’s hard to say what will happen on the field at that time.
With Gan Yanyu's mentality, if he looked down at the audience during the game and saw Lao Deng's face, he would perform poorly, let alone Gan Yanyu.
If Lin Tian had been scolded like this before the game, he would have been unable to resist poking his nostrils with the bow during the game.
"Teacher Gan, what do you say tomorrow?"
Lin Tian asked, "Any other questions? Let's practice first!"
On her first stage performance, Gan Yanyu failed to overcome her fear of the stage.
During the second stage, Gan Yanyu was disturbed by fans.
to be honest.
On both stages, Lin Tian used his own methods to help Gan Yanyu overcome the difficulties.
However, that is not "overcoming", it is more like achieving it through escape and "dependence on oneself".
This time, it is hard to say there won’t be new problems.”
Gan Yanyu actually raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and thought for a while.
"I think. It should be gone."
The girl raised her head and smiled.
"ah?"
After hearing these words, Lin Tian was stunned, "Are you sure?"
"Um."
"Have you ever tried to figure it out? Have you found the confidence?"
Lin Tian raised a lot of questions.
The most important thing is whether Gan Yanyu has conquered the stage and gained confidence.
It was hard for him to believe that Gan Yanyu had already solved the problem.
Gan Yanyu has been with him these days, but Lin Tian couldn't tell what Gan Yanyu did.
"I may not have achieved what you said yet, but I feel that I am in very good condition now. Very good."
There is no other reason.
But I just feel that I can perform well in tomorrow's game.
This is the truest feeling in Gan Yanyu's heart at this moment.
“.”
Lin Tian was a little dazed, and then he smiled.
"Teacher Gan has said such harsh words, so I can only believe it."
Tuesday.
The last day before the Yingqin Cup officially starts.
Lin Tian received a WeChat message from his homeroom teacher Zhang Juan, asking about returning to school.
Theoretically, after the art exam, one should go back to school, but Lin Tian evaded the question by saying that there had not been any school exams yet.
The teachers of this class might not have imagined that while they were teaching at the podium, the student who had asked for leave was about to participate in the largest cello competition in the province.
Thinking about it, Lin Tian felt a little happy!
As the competition approached, Lin Tian unexpectedly received a message from Xu Yong.
[I have to attend classes, so I can’t go to the site, but I can secretly watch the live broadcast. 】
【Play well, buddy, we'll be waiting for you to come back! 】
Gao Zhenyang also sent a message.
[Go, go, win the championship, and then go to the national competition! ]
Needless to say, He Zhichen made a video call to cheer them on.
There was even Su Ran, but she didn't call Lin Tian, but Gan Yanyu - Lin Tian still couldn't figure out when their relationship became so good.
“.”
There's an atmosphere of a war coming.
The effect of this operation is still outstanding.
Lin Tian, who had already adjusted his mentality, was made nervous by all kinds of encouragement.
This is the real battlefield for music students! Online, major mainstream music media are also laying the groundwork for this biennial competition.
[Teacher Tuoba is in charge! How will this Yingqin Cup be different from previous ones? 】
[Masters gather! The most valuable Yingqin Cup in the past 20 years! 】
[Since the founding of the Yingqin Cup, for the first time, more than three players under the age of 20 have made an exception to participate in the professional group! What kind of sparks will there be? ]
Among them, the most eye-catching and most liked news is the following: [Preview of the Yingqin Cup! Comprehensive ranking of the strength of the Yingqin Cup contestants by various authoritative media! ]
[First place: Bai Xi]
[Second place: Gan Yanyu]
[Third place: Christine Nunnally]

[Fifth place: Zhu Ya]
[Sixth place: Yang Weize]
【.】

According to her interview and media evaluation, Nunnally and Gan Yanyu were old rivals in the UK, and they were evenly matched, with both winning and losing. Therefore, this list ranks her third in the overall strength of the Parrot Cup! Everyone can look forward to the performance of this cellist from the UK! ]
