Chapter 341: Can beggars also go on stage?

“Ahahahaha.”

See these two names.

The two commentators, Bamboo Leaf and Maple Leaf, looked at each other and suddenly smiled with relief.

However, this smile was somewhat bitter and sympathetic.

An atmosphere of "So that's it" instantly spread across the commentary desk.

In this year's music industry, these two names are definitely considered to be the top traffic names.

Bai Xi participated in the Longqin Cup in 2022 as the runner-up of the professional group of the Parrot Cup. At the age of 21, he became the youngest player in the Longqin Cup that year.

Although she was eliminated in the semi-finals, the 21-year-old still left a deep impression on the audience with her highly entertaining performance, both in terms of stage effects and musical performance.

It’s hard to imagine that Bai Xi, who is 23 years old this year, is actually participating in the Longqin Cup for the second time!

The other contestant, Gan Yanyu, is even more of a heavyweight.

The granddaughter of Gan Hua, the former recognized number one cellist in China.

And he and his partner Lin Tian created the IP - "Moonlight and Cat".

He has in fact become the biggest star in the Chinese music industry, and even in the academic world, his recognition is extremely high.

Even if we put aside these "traffic" and "background".

Just talking about the performance in the game.

Gan Yanyu, 18 years old this year, has also broken the record for the youngest age of the contestants in the Longqin Cup! And now in the circle.

There has always been a topic: that is, Gan Yanyu's cello must be listened to live.

The shock of listening to it live is much greater than watching a recording or listening to a pre-recorded album.

As one senior said:

Gan Yanyu's cello is a sound that truly touches the depths of the soul.

The two commentators didn't know whether it was really as mysterious as the rumor said.

However, if we only talk about first impressions, fan marketing is more likely.

After all, it is understandable that such a popular pianist is labeled as "divine".

This has gone off topic.

“.”

In short, it was not until we saw these two names that we suddenly remembered them.

Yes, these two are from Qingjiang Province! Then Nanali's result doesn't seem so unacceptable!

At this moment, netizens’ comments in the live broadcast room also confirmed this point of view.

[My Qingjiang Monster Room]

[Before watching, I was thinking, "This guy is actually at the bottom of Qingjiang?" After watching, I thought, "How can this guy even come to the Longqin Cup? ? 】

[It is not easy to survive and reach the Longqin Cup under the joint strangulation of Bai Xi and Gan Yanyu]

[I can't imagine how desperate the other pianists in Qingjiang Province would be when they see these two people. From this point of view, Teacher Nanali is simply a superman! ]

【.】

"Anyway, as the first contestant to appear, Nunnally really gave us a very good start!"

Maple Leaf made a concluding speech.

"The act of embedding classical elements into such a quiet song, Flying Geese, has greatly improved the expressiveness of the entire song and also made a new interpretation of the music!"

"Yes, to accomplish this in a competition like this, not only does one need outstanding musical comprehension, but also confidence, which is very important!"

Bamboo Leaf said,

"Obviously, Teacher Nunnali's psychological quality is really not comparable to that of ordinary pianists. Although this is only the first performance, I personally think that I can boldly predict that this performance has already locked in the top 10 of the preliminary round."

"If I were the first pianist to go on stage, I definitely wouldn't be able to do it."

Fengye joked to himself, "This is a difficult performance right from the start, I'm definitely going to do it."

The humorous conversation between the two commentators continues.

However, both of them spoke highly of Nunnally's performance.

but,

Between the lines,

I still tacitly accept that even though Nanali has played to this level, she still cannot be compared with ceiling pianists like Bai Xi and Gan Yanyu.

In fact, this is the default.

Lin Tian sighed in his heart.

“How did it play like this?”

To be honest, I listened to this performance.

Lin Tian felt uncomfortable listening to this.

Nanali has completely restrained her edge, but her piano skills are much more mature and sophisticated than before.

But Lin Tian didn't like this kind of expression.

It was as if Nanali, sitting on the stage, had her limbs remotely controlled by a pair of invisible hands.

She just kept repeating her exercises mechanically. Such performance actually suppressed Nanali's own strength.

In fact, he had already sensed it from the performance just now.

In terms of piano skills alone, the current Nanali is definitely not inferior to Gan Yanyu and Bai Xi.

What is the difference between doing this and giving in to self-degradation? "I can feel it when I play like this."

At this time, Gan Yanyu said softly, "It's very similar to the time I spent in England."

Hearing this, Lin Tian was slightly stunned.

He knew the "period of time" that Gan Yanyu mentioned.

That was the time when Gan Yanyu turned the darkest.

According to Gan Yanyu's own description, there was also some part that Lin Tian filled in.

During that time, Gan Yanyu, who was suffering from illness, tried to overcome her fear of the stage.

By memorizing a large number of music scores, muscle memory is formed.

In this way, you can effectively reduce the anxiety caused by external factors when performing on stage.

However, such a problem is also obvious.

Like a machine.

This kind of performance is soulless.

It is hard to imagine that even during that period, Gan Yanyu was in the dark.

And he beat Nunnally over and over again in the British arena.

Unexpectedly, things and people have changed.

This Hajili has already improved her piano skills to such a level, but she chose the path of Gan Yanyu? Why do you also feel fear on the stage? Your beliefs, to some extent, are purer than those of everyone here!

To be honest, Lin Tian would never have thought of it.

Is there any "belief" that could be purer and more straightforward than "playing the violin just to defeat someone"?

"But... it's a little different."

After a pause, Gan Yanyu spoke again, "Nunali is not only playing like this because she is afraid of the stage, but she also feels that this way of playing is better for her."

“That would be even more troublesome.”

Lin Tian sighed.

If you accidentally go in the wrong direction just because of a momentary mental confusion.

If you can realize that you are wrong and correct it in time, you can still be saved.

But if you choose this "wrong path" actively, then you will be in big trouble.

It's really dark.

Lin Tian didn’t understand, this girl was fine at the previous concert.

How come you've become like this after just not seeing each other for so long?

Could it be that he was desperate to defeat Gan Yanyu and was trying every possible means?

It's just like the villain in a movie or TV show, who uses dark props and turns completely evil in order to defeat the protagonist. What's the price?

Not really.

If it was just because of the humiliation she suffered in England before, she wouldn't want to win to this extent. But, to put it bluntly, Nunnally is just an opponent.

Although Lin Tian felt very confused, he didn't take it too seriously. Rather, it was a good thing for them that Nanali became like this.

However, Gan Yanyu on the side frowned slightly.

His expression was full of worry.

From the music that Nanali played just now, the girl seemed to understand Nanali's emotions more deeply.

"I heard that Nanali's family is very strict with her."

Gan Yanyu murmured and looked at the big screen.

There was no further talk.

All I could think of was the abrupt tremolo inserted in the middle of the song "Flying Goose" just now.

Backstage.

Nunnally, carrying a cello on her back, walked alone in the corridor.

After coming down from the stage, the girl's breath remained low.

I clearly received so much applause just now, and even most of the judges looked at me with approval.

But at this moment, her heart was in a mess and her steps were slow.

It was as if a heavy hammer was tied to the ankle and he was walking like a prisoner covered in wounds.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Bang--"

The girl who lowered her head bumped into a huge body at this moment.

Nanali was stunned for a moment and raised her head.

The appearance of the person in front of her gave her a serious fright.

He had extremely messy hair, a scarred face, and a suit that clearly didn't fit him well, as if a beggar on the street had found it in a trash can.

If she hadn't been wearing a formal suit, Nunnally would have thought she was a beggar from somewhere! "You poop very well, Nunnally!"

The man grinned at Nunnally.

This smile frightened Nanali even more.

Born into a noble family, when had she ever been smiled at by such a slovenly guy? The girl quickly put on a cold face, lowered her head, and walked sideways past the man.

However, when she passed through.

A heavy sigh was heard from the side.

Nunnally was stunned.

She turned her head and looked at the man in confusion.

"Some people are dressed in fancy clothes, but why do they look even uglier than a homeless person like me?"

"What do you know?"

Nunnally bit her lip.

"Isn't that what I said? Miss Nunnally."

The man turned his head and looked at the girl with a hint of joking.

"Domestic cats always laugh at wild cats for being hungry and cold, but in the eyes of others, who is more pitiful than a person in chains?"

Nunnally was stunned.

The man smiled again and gestured to her.

Then he turned and walked away.

That direction is the stage.

Only then did Nanali see it.

Behind the man, there was a cello on his back.

“Is he actually a pianist?”

Nunnally said to herself in surprise.

"Let us welcome the next contestant from Hanjiang Province, Bai Junze!"

As the host's voice fell.

The two commentators also quickly introduced Bai Junze.

"Oh! Hanjiang Province's top seed, Bai Junze!"

"This person is the face of Hanjiang cellists and currently represents the highest level of Hanjiang cello!"

"Everyone can look forward to his game!"

Amid the commentator's boasting.

On the stage, the man's figure also came into the public eye.

“.”

However, the moment the man appeared.

The two commentators' mouths, which were still speaking, were immediately choked.

There was an immediate commotion among the audience.

"Our teacher Bai Junze's outfit is indeed quite unique." Fengye stammered.

At this moment, he was numb.

This long hair and explosive style.

This guy is covered in dirt and dust, and looks like he just came out of a recycling station. No, buddy?!

What do you think this is?! A party for two villages in the urban-rural fringe?! It's hard to imagine.

Today in 2025.

On such a solemn stage as the National Cello Competition "Longqin Cup".

There is actually someone who looks like he hasn't showered for a month! Is this guy the best in the province? ? If you don't know, you would think that the Hanjiang Music Association's funding is so tight that even the champion has to beg for food! At this moment, the comments that saw this scene also slid rapidly: [Bai Junze! I know him! ]

[Hahahaha, isn’t this the one that went viral on TikTok a few days ago? He’s so poor that he has to trade his music for food! ]

[It was so funny, his video was so down-to-earth! I wanted to complain at that time, this beggar can actually be a cellist! ]

[This guy still owes our Brother Moonlight a meal! ]

Everyone originally thought.

The Bai Junze in that video has some spoof elements.

After all, no matter how you think about it, a professional cellist who has won a championship cannot be that poor.

In other words, they may dress a little bit unruly.

When it comes to the competition, everything will be normal.

As a result, he actually looked like this when he participated in the competition!

I guess you are like this all the time! "."

There are netizens who are just there for fun and complaining, and there are also some netizens who are older and are dissatisfied with the outfit.

[This is outrageous! How could the organizers allow the contestants to go on stage in such an appearance? ]

[Forget about fixing your hair, can you at least let the contestants wash their hair and face? 】

[The organizers of the Longqin Cup are worrying. Don’t they care about other attire as long as you wear formal clothes? 】

【.】

At the same time, the most anxious people were the two commentators in the commentary booth.

I saw a lot of accusatory voices appearing in the barrage.

As commentators, they have to be thorough! "I think that as cellists who can come here, every one of them has absolute respect for the stage, and they don't do it to attract attention or anything else."

Zhuye said seriously,

"What I mean is that Mr. Bai Junze may like this kind of style on weekdays. The artist's aesthetic taste is different from ours."

"It could also be that his life is really hard up, after all, his suits don't even fit him."

Feng Ye added, "We should be more tolerant of the players' financial situation."

The implication is.

Even though they are wearing tattered clothes, it doesn't necessarily mean they are disrespectful to the stadium.

Maybe they are just that poor!

We can't laugh at the poor.

“.”

As soon as these words came out.

At this time, in the background.

Seeing Bai Junze's appearance, the two commentators tried to smooth things over in a funny way.

Even Nanali couldn't help laughing.

"What on earth is this person trying to do?"
