Chapter 322: A New Apprentice
"The final attendance at our concert was 38,000 people, setting a record for classical music concerts in China."
"In just one month, the search index for 'Moonlight and Cats' in Asia has increased sixteen times!"
"The new album "Moonlight and Cat's Works Collection 4" has now sold over 300,000 copies in physical form, breaking the record for classical music albums in our country!"
“.”
At the dinner table, He Zhichen recounted the achievements of the concert over the past month, and on behalf of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, he expressed his sincere gratitude to the guests present.
Finally, he said, "Now, we can boldly say that we have created an epoch-making classical concert!"
“Hao!”
As He Zhichen's voice fell.
Kana led the applause.
Everyone clapped.
As participants of the concert, everyone enjoyed the glory brought by this concert.
At this moment, at the celebration banquet, everyone was naturally happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"Thank you for your hard work, teachers!"
As He Zhichen clinked glasses with everyone, the entire dining table was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
“.”
"Eat more."
Lin Tian kept putting the grilled meat from the baking tray into Gan Yanyu's bowl.
During this period, the two of them have been concentrating on studying. Apart from ordering takeout desserts, they have not taken Gan Yanyu out to eat a proper meal.
I must use this celebration banquet to help Gan Yanyu get some rest.
Only then will you have the energy to continue studying!
Watching Gan Yanyu put the roasted pork belly covered with chili powder and sesame paste into his mouth, then holding his face with a satisfied expression.
Lin Tian sat next to him with a happy look on his face.
"Hello, Teacher Lin Tian."
At this moment, a voice sounded nearby.
Lin Tian turned around and saw the girl in the sweatshirt, Chinatsu Amuro.
Although there are five members in the Cosmic Flying Pig Band, Lin Tian still has a deep impression of this girl.
Besides having a very cute "Sakura girl" face and speaking fluent Chinese, there is also the way she dresses.
While the rest of the band was wearing some pretty explosive subculture clothing, she was the only one who always dressed normally, always in baggy sweatshirts and T-shirts.
However, it is strange that I have never seen her wearing a skirt even though she is so cute.
"Teacher Lin Tian, thank you very much for giving us this performance opportunity."
Qianxia squatted on the ground, stammering nervously and politely, "This is my first time performing on such a big stage. I never dreamed that I would be able to perform at a concert like this one day."
"I came to the mainland to develop my career recently and I have been under a lot of pressure. I even went to see a psychologist last month. It was because of participating in your concert that I regained my confidence. Thank you very much."
"You don't have to be so polite."
Hearing the girl's composition-like chanting, Lin Tian quickly stood up and helped Amuro Chinatsu up, smiling and saying,
"I should be the one thanking you. Thanks to your help, our concert was able to be held successfully this time."
"No, Teacher Lin Tian, you are too gentle. Anyone can help. It is you who chose us."
Chinatsu Amuro lowered her head, her face slightly red, and gently stroked the temples of her hair.
Then, she pulled out a black square bottle from her sweatshirt pocket.
"After the last concert, I have been wanting to send you something, but I heard that you were busy reviewing with Sister Gan Yanyu, so I didn't have the chance to see you."
As Amuro Chinatsu said this, she handed the square bottle to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian looked at the black block in his hand, feeling somewhat confused.
The next second, the girl opened the cover on top of the black block, revealing the nozzle inside.
"Teacher Lin Tian, extend your hand."
Lin Tian stretched out his wrist.
Chinatsu Amuro picked up the spelling machine and pressed the nozzle.
The cool mist sprayed on Lin Tian's wrist, bringing with it a faint fragrance.
The smell is not strong, but rather the fragrant scent of some rare wood, which gives a charming feeling.
"My family runs a perfume shop in Chiba, and I brought this from home."
"I think you are a very attractive man, Mr. Lin Tian. But I see that you don't seem to have the habit of spraying perfume, so I think you can try it."
"This scent uses citrus and mint as the base, which can quickly capture the olfactory attention. The middle notes of lavender and black pepper bring a complex and seductive balance, while the base notes of cedar, patchouli and sandalwood ensure the persistence and depth of the fragrance, making the whole perfume rich and suitable for all-day wear."
Chinatsu Amuro introduced it seriously.
Lin Tian raised his wrist, smelled it carefully, and thought it was indeed good.
Although he does not have the habit of spraying perfume, he even thinks that the act of spraying perfume itself is very artificial.
However, the smell in his hand gave people a very comfortable feeling, not strong, but light, just right in Lin Tian's comfort zone.
However, Lin Tian himself has no final say.
I'll let Gan Yanyu smell it later, only if she likes it.
"When you go out, you can spray it on your wrists and collar. This way the smell won't be too strong, but you can still smell it when others get close."
"Thank you."
Lin Tian smiled and accepted the gift.
A satisfied and happy smile soon appeared on Amuro Chinatsu's face. She held her hands under her neck, making her look even cuter.
It seemed that she realized that this cute appearance was not suitable for the current occasion.
After Lin Tian put away the perfume, he raised the wine glass in his hand, intending to end the topic with a clink of glasses.
Unexpectedly, Amuro Chinatsu stared at Lin Tian closely, her blushing face looking conflicted and hesitant. It was as if she had something she wanted to say but was too shy to express it.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere seemed even weirder!
no,
Sister, what are you doing?! Lin Tian felt that if he stared at her for a few more seconds, the Sakura girl in front of him would get hot all over.
Lin Tian turned his head and looked at Gan Yanyu, wanting to ask for help.
As a result, Gan Yanyu was using chopsticks to flip the pork belly on the baking tray, staring at the greasy surface of the meat very seriously, as if he was studying a great experiment, fearing that a one-second error would cause the result to be burnt or undercooked.
Lin Tian turned his head again and was about to gather his emotions.
"Teacher Lin Tian!"
Chinatsu Amuro suddenly lowered her head and handed an envelope to Lin Tian.
This sudden noise startled everyone around him.
Kana and Yun Qiuqiu looked at him blankly.
Gan Yanyu just glanced at it and continued to stare at the barbecue. Lin Tian's temperature suddenly rose.
No, what are you doing with the medicine bar? !
Looking at Chinatsu Amuro bowing and handing over an envelope, Lin Tian was stunned.
This situation is wrong, isn't it?!
Even if Gan Yanyu and I have not announced our relationship to the public, anyone who knows them a little bit knows that the relationship between them is not simple!
It was a good thing that he was playing this game in such an occasion. If he had changed to another map, there might be paparazzi nearby. This scene would have killed Lin Tian several times! "Teacher Lin Tian, please take a look at this!"
Chinatsu Amuro still kept her head down, clenched her teeth and spoke.
“.”
Lin Tian looked at the petite body in front of him, sighed, and finally took it.
He opened the envelope and took out a small white notebook.
Open the first page of the book.
What comes into view are musical notes.
"?"
Lin Tian frowned and continued to flip through the pages, page after page.
It's all five-line music score composed of densely packed notes, and all kinds of strange marks.
Lin Tian looked at Chinatsu Amuro.
The girl blushed and looked at Lin Tian anxiously:
"These are some of the songs I usually compose, and they have never been published."
"I wonder if Teacher Lin Tian has time to give me some pointers."
At this point, Amuro Chinatsu straightened her back and gestured back and forth with her fingers in the air.
"Of course, you don't need to say too much. Even if you just give me one or two small suggestions or point out what's wrong with the writing, I will be very grateful!!"
“.”
Looking at Chinatsu Amuro's appearance, Lin Tian smiled helplessly.
What?
It turned out to be looking at the music score.
After going through so much trouble, I thought it was something strange.
Lin Tian put down the wine glass and picked up the notebook.
Although Lin Tian has never composed any music in the strict sense, his appreciation of music is still very high.
Because he has an entire music library in his mind, and thanks to the skill card, he has much better music theory knowledge than the average person.
This means that even if Lin Tian does not create his own works, he can still become one of the world's top music critics with this knowledge.
Therefore, it is more than enough to show the music score to others and identify what is written and what is good about it.
In fact, for Lin Tian, it was just a matter of course.
There's absolutely no need for Chinatsu Amuro to be so nervous.
Lin Tian picked up the notebook and flipped through it casually.
This girl writes quite a lot.
After a quick look, I found that he had written at least ten songs.
Judging from the traces of scribbles and the unskilled handwriting, it is indeed a complete novice in creation.
Lin Tian turned to the first page again and began to read it carefully.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, just take a look.
It took a short while.
Lin Tian's pupils suddenly widened and his brows gradually relaxed.
“.”
“Interesting.”
Lin Tian became interested.
This level is pretty good!
Although the handwriting was clumsy, Lin Tian could feel Amuro Chinatsu's thoughts from between the lines of the music score.
What Chinatsu Amuro writes is not rock music, but pop music that is closer to the public's aesthetic taste, or rather, music with a strong classical style.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
No wonder you had to look for yourself.
It seems that Chinatsu Amuro was interested in classical music style at a very early age.
In fact, it is not uncommon to incorporate classical music styles into pop music.
for example:
Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain".
Inspired by porcelain, it incorporates a large number of classical Chinese elements such as guzheng and string music, creating a classical and poetic atmosphere. It is known as one of the representative works of "Chinese style" songs.
"Light Years Away" by G.E.M.
A lot of string instruments and piano are used in the background music to create a grand and romantic atmosphere, giving people the feeling of evaluating fine music in a concert hall.
There is also the very classic "The New Drunken Concubine" by Li Yugang.
It uses modern pop music and Peking Opera elements to create a unique classical style, and the opera singing in it is a classic among classics.
Not to mention those songs that were directly adapted from music scores.
The interlude of Xue Zhiqian's "Ugly" uses Bach's "Aria on the G String", and the chorus of Jay Chou's "Piano Injury" directly borrows the melody of "June Barcarolle".
However, playing this way also requires a lot of skills.
If you don't play it well, you will end up making things worse and be blamed for insulting a classic.
And right now, what is Chinatsu Amuro's level?
Although it cannot be said to be very powerful, it is obviously far beyond Lin Tian’s expectations.
Lin Tian didn't expect that a novice in composition could write to this level.
Although Lin Tian himself doesn’t write pop music, it doesn’t mean he can’t write it!
His music library also includes popular music from all over the world.
In Lin Tian's opinion, these songs by Amuro Chinatsu, as long as they are slightly adapted by mature composers, are all very imaginative and have a certain chance of becoming popular.
“It’s well written.”
Lin Tian put down the notebook and gave his evaluation frankly.
“Really??”
Hearing this, Amuro Chinatsu's eyes widened, "Teacher Lin Lintian, you don't have to consider my feelings."
"Very talented, you can study harder."
Lin Tian meant what he said.
He did feel that if the girl in front of him was willing to further her studies, with her talent, she would have the opportunity to become an excellent music producer.
Thinking of this,
Lin Tian suddenly had an idea.
He asked Amuro Chinatsu:
“Do you like classical music?”
"Um!"
Amuro Chinatsu nodded decisively.
"In fact, I think you can try to directly borrow some excellent classical music scores and incorporate them into your creation. Your talent is very suitable for this."
"Directly borrowed, for example?"
“For example, this piece of music.”
Lin Tian turned the notebook to the middle page and pointed to a piece of music called "Heavenly Waterfall".
"If you use the opening section of my Symphony No. Pathétique in G minor as the interlude of this piece, your whole piece will come to life and become different all of a sudden."
Chinatsu Amuro took the notebook.
She is also very familiar with "Symphony No. Pathétique in G Minor", one of the famous songs of Moonlight and Cat.
She immediately recited the music score silently and changed the interlude according to Lin Tian's suggestion.
A moment.
The whole score seemed to come alive all of a sudden! This is almost the finishing touch!
“So that’s how it is!”
Chinatsu Amuro suddenly understood and her eyes sparkled.
"In fact, your idea of incorporating classical music into these pieces is a good one, but your current creative ability is too limited."
"Several of your pieces are obviously well written, but they lack a soul. If they were directly integrated with the accompaniment of an excellent classical music, they would become very beautiful pieces!"
Listening to Lin Tian's words, Amuro Chinatsu's pupils grew bigger and bigger, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
“So that’s how it is.”
"Thank you, Teacher Lin Tian!"
"Really. My thoughts became clear all of a sudden. Thank you, Teacher Lin Tian, for your help."
Chinatsu Amuro kept expressing her gratitude, then she raised her head and looked at Lin Tian.
She asked her question again:
"So, if I use Mr. Lin Tian's music and want to publish it later..."
"Just give me the money."
Lin Tian stretched out his palm and grinned at Amuro Chinatsu.
“.”
"Don't worry, I won't take your money for nothing. There are still many areas of your music that need polishing. I can find another time to teach you."
"After all, you're going to write pop music using my music, and I don't want you to damage my reputation~"
Lin Tian said.
In fact, Lin Tian had this idea a long time ago! In itself, it was normal in the previous life for excellent classical music melodies to be adapted into pop music.
It is a win-win situation both in terms of the commercial performance of pop music and the promotion of classical music itself.
In this world, Lin Tian still needs to work hard to make classical music popular among the public.
However, if you can promote your classical music in a "pop music" way, it is obviously a good idea!
However, there was so much music like this in previous lives.
Because classical music has no copyright.
So everyone can use it as you like.
And in this world, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu are still alive and well.
So far, no singer has done this.
After all, if you think about it carefully, you will know.
This is a classical music album that broke the record in China. Just imagine how scary the copyright fee is.
However, Lin Tian himself didn't want to write.
If you take action yourself, there are too many possible situations that may arise.
At this time, it is very important to find someone to help.
Lin Tian also wanted to see what kind of commercial success his music would achieve if it was adapted into pop music, and whether his classical music could break through the circle again.
Chinatsu Amuro is obviously a good choice.
It is not convenient for Lin Tian to produce pop music himself.
She can use it as her own "pop music spokesperson".
Although she is just a newbie, it’s okay for Lin Tian to give her a little guidance.
Just think of it as accepting an apprentice.
For Lin Tian, it was just a piece of cake. Amuro Chinatsu was so talented that she probably didn't need much help from him.
"well!"
"Thank you, Teacher Lin Tian!"
"I will definitely collect enough copyright fees and come find you!"
Amuro Chinatsu said excitedly.
"Well, I'm free this weekend, so you can come over and play it in front of me first."
"good!"
Amuro Chinatsu nodded repeatedly, then left with her beloved notebook.
At this time, Lin Tian also stood up from his position.
Lin Tian had been blocked by Chinatsu Amuro for too long and had no time to go to the toilet, so he finally found a gap.
However, it is still quite pleasing to the eyes to see such a cute girl making expressions in front of you.
Lin Tian got up and went to the bathroom, and just happened to meet He Zhichen coming out at the door.
Seeing Lin Tian, He Zhichen smiled and asked, "Why, Teacher Lin Tian, have you finished talking with Teacher Amuro?"
"Um."
"Hahaha, even Teacher Lin Tian, are you attracted by his charm?"
He Zhichen laughed heartily and said, "After all, I have never seen such a cute boy."
