Chapter 214 Finals, Start! (4k)

"This place is only one street away from Sunny Day Concert Hall. After the game, you can bring her to this restaurant."

"The yard behind this store is very big and usually no one is there, so you can enjoy yourself here."

"I'll prepare a bouquet for you here in advance."

"Also, I know the owner of this store very well. I can use the surveillance camera to record the MVP victory replay for you."

In the restaurant.

Xu Yong talked incessantly to Lin Tian about the plans and arrangements for that time.

Lin Tian couldn't help but interrupt him.

"Wait, you are familiar with the owner of this store?"

"yes."

"Is it opened by your relative?" Lin Tianxin asked why he had never heard of it before.

"No, it's an online friend."

"Netizens?"

"To be precise - it's my friend."

As Xu Yong was saying this, a man came out from the backyard. When he saw Xu Yong, he raised his hand and said excitedly,

"Xu Yong!"

"Soft brother!"

Xu Yong waved happily.

"What a strange name?" Lin Tian was confused.

When the man came up, Xu Yong put his arm around his shoulders and introduced him to Lin Tian, ​​"He is the boss here. His forum ID is 'Even the hardest mouth turns out to be soft when kissed'. So we call him Soft Brother."

"Brother Yueguang, I have long heard of your great name and have envied you for a long time!"

The man held Lin Tian's hand and said excitedly.

“.”

Shouldn't a normal person say "I've liked you for a long time"? What kind of new fan culture is "I've envied you for a long time"? "You two have a good relationship."

Looking at the two of them arm in arm, Lin Tian was surprised that the relationship between the netizens could reach this level.

"In fact, we've only known each other for a month. You didn't expect that."

Xu Yong said with a smile, "Last month, I posted a thread on Tieba [Are all people who play Cosplay a chicken], and among so many people in the forum, only Ruan Ge explained it to me after more than a hundred replies and told me that it was true."

"Don't underestimate the bond between us rat people!" Brother Ruan said seriously.

Don’t get so excited for no reason! "."

Lin Tian now began to wonder whether Xu Yong had specifically attached a photo of someone as an example when he posted this message.

"Anyway - don't worry, Moonlight Brother! That night, my shop will only be open to you and Teacher Cat!"

Soft Brother said,

"If you need anything, just call me at your service!"

Countdown to the finals: 2 days.

After everything was arranged, the training entered the final stage.

“.”

"Lin Tian."

In the evening, after going through the song again.

Gan Yanyu seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

There are some things I want to say, but I can't seem to say them.

Finally, the girl just whispered: "You are not in good condition recently. Is it my illusion? I feel that you are always absent-minded these days."

Let’s not talk about Yan and Bu Yan for now.

You obviously did it too.

Lin Tian smiled helplessly, "No?"

"have!"

Gan Yanyu said seriously, "Didn't you notice? Your current performance can't keep up with my channel."

Then you have to open your channel to me, too. Lin Tian held his forehead.

But the next sentence.

But Lin Tian was a little choked up——

"Lin Tian, ​​are you still thinking about the competition?"

“.”

indeed.

Gan Yanyu is right.

Lin Tian admitted it.

These days, because of various things: debut, live broadcast, confession plan, it seems that my focus has shifted away from the performance itself.

Gan Yanyu was concentrating on the competition, but his mind was full of other things.

It's indeed a bit despicable.

Even though Hungarian Dance No. 5 in G minor was written a few days ago.

Apart from recording the song at the company, there was no further action.

The video version specifically for Tik Tok and Bilibili was not filmed either.

Actually that’s because.

After practicing several times, I still couldn't achieve the right effect.

But.

This style of dance music.

This should be the music that Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu are very compatible with! In "One Step Away", the two have clearly practiced this tacit understanding to the extreme.

But why, it still becomes like this now.

Lin Tian felt that the reason why he began to fall behind Gan Yanyu was just superficial, not the root cause.

It's the hearts of the two that seem to have begun to deviate.

The deviation is subtle.

Lin Tian couldn't say it directly.

Similarly, Teacher Gan has been avoiding this topic.

Do you want to fight in the finals in this state?

“.”

"Come on!"

anyway.

The competition is coming soon. There is no point thinking about other things. I must continue practicing.

Gan Yanyu looked at Lin Tian with her mouth slightly open.

I wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

"Um."

January 20th.

Today is the biennial cello event in the music circle of the entire Qingjiang Province.

After a month of competition starting from the preliminary round, the Yingqin Cup finally reached the finals! After hundreds of contestants were eliminated.

In the final round, only Gan Yanyu and Bai Xi were left.

Before the match, all the major music media and music producers in Qingjiang gave their predictions! A total of 14 authoritative music media voted on the predicted results of the match between the two.

11 media outlets believe that Bai Xi will win the championship in this final.

Only three media outlets believed that Gan Yanyu could win.

Before the competition, many well-known musicians and magazine editors in the industry were interviewed.

Wei Zihang, a famous composer and music producer in Qingzhou, said in an interview:

“Although Gan Yanyu’s performance in the semi-finals was very impressive, her performance was not stable enough. In comparison, the strength of Bai Xi was obvious to all Qingjiang cellists during this period.”

Another guest judge from overseas, the famous performer Tian Yehua, also said:

"Those who are good at fighting do not have great achievements. Although Bai Xi is not as expressive as Gan Yanyu, we can know that she has always been winning!"

And on major online forums.

Since Gan Yanyu has been officially revealed to be the super popular cellist "Cat" on the short video platform recently, and her partner is the new talented composer Moonlight, she has naturally received widespread attention from netizens.

[Cat-chan, go for it! I believe you will win! ]

[Come on! I don’t have the chance to go to the competition, but I will definitely watch the live broadcast! ]

[It doesn't matter if you lose, you still have us! 】

[The competition is over. I'll be waiting for your concert with Moonlight Brother! ! ]

【.】

Although there are a lot of netizens paying attention to it.

But there is a serious problem involved here.

Most fans don’t understand music events at all.

I don’t know how important the Parrot Cup is to Moonlight and the Cat.

In the eyes of many fans.

Playing in competitions is just a side job for Yueguang and Mao, while creation is their main job.

So most people, even though they keep shouting "Come on, come on!"

But in my heart, what is more important than the result of the competition is whether I can see my idol perform beautifully on the stage with my own eyes.

After seeing various media forecasts and news interviews.

Everyone was stunned.

I feel like losing is something that should be taken for granted.

Even if they lost to this powerful opponent, as long as the performance was beautiful, it would be a good story for Moonlight and Cat. What Gan Yanyu could not accept was losing.

In the lounge.

Separate room.

Gan Yanyu sat in front of the makeup mirror, taking deep breaths continuously.

Then,

Said in one breath:

"Come on, Yanyu. Come on! You are the strongest, the best, the most hardworking and the most diligent."

Just at this moment, Lin Tian opened the door and walked in.

“.”

Gan Yanyu was startled and quickly sat up straight.

Then he looked at Lin Tian.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The two were silent for two seconds.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Tian was stunned.

“Self-encouragement.”

"You're acting like a pyramid scheme."

Lin Tian couldn't help but complain.

In Lin Tian’s impression, only people in pyramid schemes would do this kind of small combo for themselves every day. “Could it be that you are able to overcome the stage now by using this self-hypnosis method?”

“.”

"you guess."

Gan Yanyu did not answer directly, but turned his head away.

There was a barely noticeable smile on his face.

"I just went to the front desk to check."

Lin Tian brought the topic back to the topic, "Tuoba is indeed no longer on the judges' panel. The one sitting in the middle now is Teacher Yao Han."

"good."

"This time, we can play the final with dignity!"

Lin Tian smiled.

Here he had to praise Teacher Gan again.

Mingming was criticized by Tuoba Laodeng in the preliminary round.

But my mentality was not affected at all.

All of this is in addition to the fact that Teacher Gan’s own mentality has improved to a certain extent.

It also has to do with her complete trust in Lin Tian.

Especially before the semi-finals.

At that time.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu practiced "Canon in D Major".

He really felt it.

They can beat any opponent.

But this feeling is fleeting.

Up to now, Lin Tian even felt that he and Teacher Gan could no longer connect on even the basic channels.

After a while.

The large TV in the lounge turned on automatically.

The situation at the competition site was displayed on the screen.

The concert hall was packed.

It was even more grand than the semi-finals.

Moreover, there are many younger faces in the audience.

Obviously, this is because of the identities of Moonlight and Cat, which attracted many college students to watch the game.

These college students are very good at grabbing tickets and making the most of the deals. The older generation of musicians can never compete with them!

This also led to a competition that was as spectacular as a concert.

These young audiences are more passionate and enthusiastic. They sit in the audience, talking to their companions with excited expressions.

The director also captured that several audience members even wore T-shirts with the "Moonlight and Cat" logo printed on them.

Since banners and light boards are not allowed in the concert hall, are you using this form to express your love for the contestants?

Many people who saw this scene on the big screen showed even more excited expressions, and they were naturally happy to see the appearance of their kind.

Until a few audience members wearing T-shirts faced the camera and held up the "Rainy Day Wet" album in their hands.

Groove! You are here to show off, right?! For a moment, the audience was filled with the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Countless fans were using practical actions to express their contempt for those who bought the album and still wanted to show off.

As the stage lights gathered.

The host walked onto the stage wearing an elegant blue dress.

The audience then quieted down and turned their attention to the center of the stage.

The host said with a CCTV standard smile:

"Welcome everyone to the stage of the Qingjiang Province Yingqin Cup Cello Competition Finals."

"What's about to happen is the final competition of our professional group!"

As the words fell.

Photos of Gan Yanyu and Bai Xi appeared on the big screen behind the stage! The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause.

Many people stood up, whistled excitedly and cheered.

These two photos were taken after the semi-finals, when Gan Yanyu and Bai Xi were standing on both sides of the stage.

Not only does it maximize the feeling of confrontation, but it also creates a sense of atmosphere with the two people's faces under the light.

Many Mooncat fans who came to watch the competition for the first time couldn't help but sigh.

"This sister named Bai Xi is also very pretty!"

"She's only one-third as cute as Teacher Cat, but she's not bad either!"

"Fuck! Look at this."

soon.

The two people’s historical honors appeared prominently on the big screen.

"No, is this really a player of the same level?!"

Seeing this scene, all the fans of Mooncat were shocked! Imagine, when you come to watch your idol's music competition for the first time, you see such a contrasting picture.

"It's over, I feel like something bad is happening to Cat-chan."

"I've never heard of these awards. They must be fake!"

"It's hard to say. There are a lot of fake awards in music competitions."

For a moment, several fans who came to watch the game in groups wearing T-shirts were talking about it, with expressions showing that they were facing a great enemy.

At this time, an old audience member who was also a fan of Gan Yanyu couldn't stand it anymore and turned around, "You guys, that's enough!"

The old audience said seriously,

"Teacher Bai Xi is a very respectable cellist, and he has earned a lot of fame for Qingjiang abroad!"

"For players like this, winning is meaningful only after it happens!"

Backstage.

Seeing the grand scene on the stage, even Lin Tian couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Although he always said that when it comes to the finals, you have to keep a calm mind and be relaxed and happy.

Standing here, the pressure is still very great.

Just at this moment.

Gan Yanyu, who had just returned from the bathroom, pushed open the door.

Staggered in.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Lin Tian was shocked and hurried forward to support Gan Yanyu.

"I just slipped in the toilet and sprained my ankle."

Gan Yanyu said frustratedly,

"Lin Tian, ​​I remember you learned massage, right? Do you know how to set bones?"
