Chapter 306: Selection of Concert Guests
The first major concert of "Moonlight and Cats" - a musical feast not to be missed.
[Time] April 16, 2025 (Sunday) 19:00-22:00 [Location] Qingjiang International Cultural Center
Regular tickets: 280 yuan, 680 yuan, 1080 yuan
VIP ticket: 2999 yuan (including exclusive reception before the performance and a signed CD) This concert will be accompanied by the famous Qingjiang orchestra Aier Orchestra, and the performance range is "Moonlight and Cat Collection 1-3"
After Le Yun’s official account officially announced this important news on Weibo.
For a time, a huge uproar broke out on the entire Internet.
"Moonlight and Cat are having a concert?!"
Zhang Dong, who was broadcasting live, saw the news and his eyes widened immediately, looking incredulous.
"I thought their focus was on the competition, but I didn't expect they would hold a concert!"
For fans of Moonlight and Cats.
Although Moonlight and Cat have debuted for some time, they have also been active online as professional musicians for a long time.
But in fact, everyone had a psychological expectation that the two would not hold a concert.
After all, the two of them have always been focused on the game.
Even if they don't hold concerts, people can often see their stage performances in various videos.
It's like.
A singer who has released many albums, although he never holds a concert.
But, he really does participate in singing competitions every day! He can be seen on the stages of various competitions. He doesn't open his own, but he can get on the stage everywhere.
Fans don’t have to worry about not being able to see their idols’ stage highlights, because they can watch them every day as long as they want.
However, there is still a difference.
After all, not everyone can go to the competition in person, and the judges are not fans, let alone close interaction with idols.
So, now that we see that Moonlight and Cat are finally going to have a concert, everyone is so excited.
[If I go to the concert, will I be able to see Moonlight and Cat-chan up close? ]
[Oh my god! I want to listen to the live version of "Nocturne"! ]
【If you look closely, you will see that there are different levels of tickets. 】
[The front row tickets are only a little over 1,000 yuan! Not expensive at all!!]
Netizens in the live broadcast room were talking about it.
The first thing that makes everyone excited is undoubtedly the reasonable price.
Since the venue is the cultural center, of course everyone is viewing it according to the standards of a concert. You know, a front-row ticket at one thousand yuan is already a fair price in a venue of the same level.
You know.
You spend a thousand bucks to go see a concert of a top rock band next door, but not only can you not sit in the front row, you also have to listen to them lip-syncing and treating you like a fool.
At Moonlight and Cat, you can witness national-level musicians playing top-notch music live for you and enjoy the upper-class treatment! Which is the best deal? Do you even need to think about it?!
Of course, the most important thing is that you can see the moonlight and the cat itself.
[I've heard that Sister Cat is prettier in person than in the video, hehe.]
[Since this is a live performance of Moonlight Brother and Cat-chan, they shouldn't just stand there and play, right? There will definitely be some sweet interactions, right? ]
[Haha! Of course there must be, in fact, I saw it a long time ago! Moonlight brother and Maojiang haven't admitted that they are together yet, just to give us surprises from time to time and make us feel itchy. If they admit it one day, they won't be able to surprise us anymore.]
"Brothers, actually, you have all missed the point."
Looking at the barrage of comments on the screen, Zhang Dong spoke calmly.
【？ 】
【Missing the point?】
After hearing this, netizens all raised questions.
Then, aren't people here to see Moonlight and Cat's concert just to see these things? You know Moonlight and Cat, so can you see something else? "Actually, the key point is the location of this concert."
Zhang Dong said seriously, "Qingjiang International Cultural Center."
"Actually, this is different from not understanding moonlight and cats. This is something only locals like us know."
"This is not an ordinary cultural center, it is a super venue that can accommodate tens of thousands of people!"
“Over the years, only top-tier singers have been able to hold concerts in this venue!”
[How many tens of thousands of people? ? ]
【Ah? So big? ?】
[Fuck, wouldn’t that be a spectacular scene?! ]
[Wouldn't it be possible that no one would know if I secretly glued Mao-chan from below? ]
[Fast forward to Ragnarok]
Netizens expressed their surprise.
Just think about it carefully and you will understand.
Compare this to a concert hall that can only seat a few hundred or a thousand people at a time.
A super venue that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
What, are you going to host the Olympics? Playing musical instruments in a place like this for so many people to hear. Just thinking about it is very shocking!
This should be the first case, right?
“It’s the first case.”
Zhang Dong said,
"I have never seen any musician in China who can hold a concert in such a large venue!"
Not to mention being a musician.
Even for a pop singer, it would be awesome enough to hold a concert in this venue!
Thinking of this, Zhang Dong was even a little excited.
If they did, Moonlight and Cat would be the first! They are musicians who are worthy of being recorded in the history of Chinese music! In a few years, music textbooks will record it like this: "In the early 21st century, a pair of musicians appeared in China. Their concerts could fill up the stadiums with 10,000 people! This gave rise to people's pursuit of classical musicians. This proves that in that era, there was a grand occasion where classical music was comparable to pop music."
Just thinking about it made Zhang Dong so excited that he almost ejaculated.
Hundreds of years later, perhaps there will still be people who commemorate and remember the era when classical music once again "gloried".
It is called the Renaissance in the music world! "As a professional violinist living in an era like this, I feel really honored," Zhang Dong said emotionally.
However, it soon attracted a burst of ridicule from the barrage of comments.
【Don’t touch porcelain! 】
[What kind of champion are you? Still a professional! ]
[The anchor didn’t retire, it’s just that no one wants him—right? ]
[What——Our contemporary violinist Zhang Dong is the one who was seriously out of tune with the accompaniment of Moonlight and Cat and was a big drag? ? ]
【.】
Faced with the ridicule from the barrage of comments, Zhang Dong was very upset, but he didn't say anything.
In fact, it is still too early to talk about things like "the seats were full" or "creating epoch-making significance".
As a native of Qingjiang, Zhang Dong couldn't quite believe that Moonlight and Cats could fill the cultural center. But if it really happened, Zhang Dong couldn't imagine how crazy it would be for the classical music world.
Anyway, "The ticket purchase date is Sunday."
Zhang Dong called out in the live broadcast room,
"Brothers, lend your f*cking strength to Moonlight and Cat-chan!!"
After the advertisement was officially aired and the concert was officially announced.
Lin Tian also started to get busy.
First, Lin Tian met someone.
"Teacher Moonlight, it's an honor to meet you."
In a café in the city.
A lady handed Lin Tian her business card and introduced herself, "I'm Fu Lan from Comet Entertainment."
"Hello, Miss Fu Lan."
Lin Tian greeted him respectfully, "I heard from Director Ma that your company has expanded a lot of overseas business and has dealings with many well-known Japanese bands, right?"
"Yes."
Miss Fu Lan nodded and smiled, "If you need anything, you can tell me."
Talking about this matter dates back to a few days ago.
While preparing for the concert, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu discovered a very serious problem.
The problem lies with Gan Yanyu herself.
A concert usually lasts about 2-3 hours. As the first concert of "Moonlight and Cat", this time can only be more, not less.
For Lin Tian, he has a strong physique and is supported by the system, so several hours of high-intensity performance is no problem at all.
But for Gan Yanyu, this is a nightmare.
She suffers from severe asthma and cannot sustain long-term exercise.
And in this large venue with tens of thousands of people.
The atmosphere on the scene must have been very, very high.
This is different from the competition.
Firstly, the audience sat far away from the competition. Moreover, except for the very end, when the audience would have a more intense reaction, the atmosphere in the middle of the performance was relatively quiet.
The former sweet words and rain.
It was because it was in the classroom of Hoshino Music Academy.
Facing the entire classroom and the students who were almost right in front of him, he performed for a long time.
In the continued enthusiasm of the students.
Gan Yanyu herself was also carried away by the concert-like atmosphere at the scene.
After it was over, Gan Yanyu almost went to the hospital.
The reason why Gan Yanyu did not have a seizure during the performance in Japan was simply because their performance time was very short and the song was finished in one go.
If there had been a few more songs, Gan Yanyu's heart would definitely not have been able to bear it given the atmosphere in the bar.
Now,
What we are about to face is the high-spirited atmosphere of tens of thousands of people.
For Gan Yanyu, this kind of pressure is no different from the execution platform.
Moreover, it is definitely not the case that the problem can be solved by communicating with the audience and asking them to stop making noise.
This was a scene with tens of thousands of people. When the music started and the excitement rose, Lin Tian couldn't help but shake his head, let alone stop such a crazy scene.
So, the only solution.
Just let Gan Yanyu rest as much as possible.
When Gan Yanyu was in trouble, he was given a chance to catch his breath in time.
This method may be cruel for Gan Yanyu, who loves the stage and loves performing. After all, this is their first concert and Gan Yanyu cherishes it very much.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But there was no way. For Gan Yanyu's safety, Lin Tian had to do this even if she was unhappy.
So,
How can we get timely rest during a concert?
Lin Tian’s solo may be a solution, but it is not a long-term solution. Everyone comes to see “Moonlight and Cat”.
Lin Tian found the answer to this question from many pop singers! Quite a few singers have had times when they couldn't sing any more due to high intensity fatigue.
At this time, singers often take two approaches.
First, a chorus from the whole audience.
Leave all the high notes to the audience to sing. Specifically, after you finish singing the prelude and reach the climax, immediately hand the microphone to the audience.
Not only will you feel good about it, but the audience will also feel that you are pampering them.
But this first method obviously has no effect on Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.
Because they couldn't expect the audience to play for them.
Then, there is only the second option left.
Invite - Special Guests! Many singers invite special guests, not only to increase the popularity of the concert, but also to find someone to help them share the intensity of singing.
You can even let the guest sing a song by himself so that the singer can get enough rest.
Lin Tian was planning to adopt this idea.
Find someone famous who can play, and at the right time, have him make a shining appearance as a special guest.
In this way, it can keep warm and help with work.
You may even find more than one.
It’s okay to find a few more, as long as the money is there.
He told this idea to He Zhichen, who agreed.
But new problems arise.
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu are now among the most popular performers in China. It is very difficult to find someone who is both famous and talented.
The main problem is the strength.
Maybe they have to play together. If the performance is not good, wouldn't it be a punishment for others to pull them up? So, He Zhichen went to help Lin Tian ask.
Lin Tian was not idle either.
It doesn't mean that everything has to be handed over to He Zhichen, he can also take the initiative to explore it himself.
Then, after meeting Director Ma Lei a few days ago, and the other party saying that he had a lot of connections in the circle, Lin Tian took the initiative to ask.
It turns out there is one! "I want to invite a Japanese band, preferably young and talented, to help perform at my concert. I don't know much about Japanese artists, so I'd like to ask for your opinion." Lin Tian said.
"I see."
Miss Fu Lan smiled and nodded.
These were all things that the two had discussed before they officially met.
So, if I bring it up now, it won’t take me too much time to digest it.
Miss Fu Lan was well prepared.
However, before she spoke, Miss Fu Lan asked one more question: "Why are you looking for someone from Japan?"
“Because there are so many Japanese viewers.”
When Lin Tian opened his mouth to say this, he couldn't hold himself back.
Because this was completely unexpected for him.
Ever since he became famous in Tokyo at the Sakikuni International Piano Competition.
Lin Tian himself didn't expect that he would have so many Japanese fans.
One week after the release of "Moonlight and Cat Collection 3".
It has achieved physical album sales of over 160,000, once again setting a record for classical album sales in China.
But the most unexpected thing is.
As a result, 15% of the sales of this physical album were contributed by the Japanese market.
Now, Moonlight and Cat are truly world-class musicians!
Lin Tian had unknowingly become the "God of Nocturne" in the eyes of many Japanese music fans! He didn't just give this title.
It was given to him by Japanese netizens! It is indeed very similar to the usual style of the Japanese people, but Lin Tian really likes the title of "God of Nocturne".
And after the official announcement of this concert.
He Zhichen immediately analyzed it for Lin Tian based on the discussion on the external network.
This time, there will be many Japanese fans who will come to the mainland to watch the concert of Moonlight and Cat!
Although it sounds a bit magical, it is the truth.
At that time, many Japanese media will follow up and record the entire process and report on Moonlight and Cat’s concert in the country.
Therefore, how to make the reputation in Japan more famous is also what Lin Tian wants to do.
Inviting a Japanese musician or band seems to be a good choice.
Although Lin Tian really wanted to invite the only pianist he knew in Sakiguni, Yukaku Nishikawa.
But Lin Tian checked the worth of this world-class pianist and Sakikuni International Piano Champion.
Too expensive.
Lin Tian couldn't bear to do that.
But there are many bands in Japan.
So Lin Tian planned to find a band with strong professional ability and some fame among young people in Japan, and then train them well. When classical music becomes a little aesthetically fatigued, he would bring them out to perform some different music.
Seems like a pretty good choice.
“.”
"Understood."
After listening to Lin Tian's simple explanation, Fu Lan nodded, and then she showed her signature smile again.
"Actually, I have a band that meets your requirements."
"What do you mean?"
"It's a band that just made its debut in Tokyo last year. I don't know if its business capabilities can meet your requirements, but it will definitely have no problem gaining popularity among young people in Japan. It's a household name."
"It's okay. As long as you are popular and willing to work hard, that's all."
Lin Tian didn't expect to find a band that could keep up with him and Gan Yanyu.
As long as you are popular and have many fans, the audience will be able to recognize you when you perform at a concert.
After all, he is a guest, hired by Lin Tian to do hard labor.
"This band collaborated with us earlier this year and actually has quite a few fans in China. Their official accounts on Bilibili and TikTok both have over a million followers."
"In the past month, their popularity has skyrocketed, and they are now a top band in Japan."
"It just so happens that they have a trip to the Celestial Empire recently."
"If you are interested, Mr. Moonlight, I can arrange a meeting for you two."
"Okay, let's arrange it as soon as possible." Lin Tian said.
Meet them first, and if they don’t suit you, look for another one.
"Um."
Miss Fu Lan smiled and nodded.
Then, she looked from the coffee cup on the table, across the table, and slowly up to Lin Tian's phone, "I can push them to you first."
“But the cost.”
"Understood."
Lin Tian said, "I'll let my agent talk to you."
After all, it was Lin Tian who took the initiative to find her, so there was nothing wrong with giving her some introduction fee.
"grateful."
Fu Lan smiled even more brightly. She took out her mobile phone and operated on WeChat. After a while, she pushed two WeChat accounts with Japanese names to his phone.
"One is the manager of their band, and the other is the captain of their band. I don't know how their band operates, but their captain seems to have a lot of say. And from what I've seen, she's not a very easy person to talk to. When it comes to cooperation, I'll mainly talk to her. As for whether we can come to an agreement, it depends on your sincerity, Mr. Moonlight."
Lin Tian was not sure whether the sincerity here was price or attitude.
Anyway, Lin Tian himself is not sure whether he will choose them.
"By the way, what's the name of this band?"
As if he had thought of something, Lin Tian asked tentatively.
"Cosmic Flying Pig." Fu Lan said.
