Chapter 349: Internet War, Classical Music VS Pop Music

"cheers--"

Inside a barbecue restaurant at the night market near the apartment.

Lin Tian, ​​Gan Yanyu and their agent He Zhichen clinked their glasses together.

"A big win, a big win, Teacher Gan Yanyu!"

He Zhichen put down his glass and said with a smile, "According to what I learned from my connections in the organizing committee - although the organizing committee had many opinions, they finally reached a consensus. It is basically certain that we have successfully advanced!"

"good!"

Lin Tian agreed and drank the beer.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. He."

Lin Tian also expressed his greetings to He Zhichen.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Lin Tian asked curiously,

"How come you still have a connection when you're in Baijing?"

When in Qingzhou, He Zhichen always gave Lin Tian the feeling that he was all-powerful in the music industry. No matter what kind of intelligence or internal data of the association, he could get it.

However, Lin Tian could understand this very well. After all, Gao Zhenyang, a member of the Qingjiang Music Association and a student at the Xingye Music Academy, had a close relationship with He Zhichen, so it was conceivable what kind of network this guy had in Qingzhou.

As a result, after arriving in Baijing, this guy's ability to grasp intelligence showed no sign of declining. This is no longer just a local tyrant.

“As long as you want to know, there are still many channels.”

"You are too modest, Brother Chen."

"This has nothing to do with me. If you want to thank someone, you should thank yourselves."

"us?"

"Um."

He Zhichen nodded. "Have you heard this saying? When you are successful, you will be surrounded by good people. Even if I don't take the initiative to find these information channels, good people will naturally come to me."

Gan Yanyu was a little confused after hearing this.

But Lin Tian understood.

"You mean, there are still many people in the association who support us?"

"Yes."

He Zhichen leaned back in the back seat and sighed.

"In the 20 years since the reform, arguments have never stopped not only in the media but also within the association itself."

"After all, classical music was once the first lesson for all performers. Almost all performers have studied classical music in depth. It doesn't mean that everyone will give up their love just because the competition has changed."

“Those who are secretly willing to help you may appreciate your talent and don’t want you to be buried by this competition system; or they may simply love classical music and hope that you can make it to the end.”

“.”

Lin Tian knows.

Among these people, there is a high probability that one of them is Tuoba Jianhui.

"In other words, Teacher Lin Tian and Teacher Gan Yanyu."

He Zhichen paused and said, "You are not fighting alone."

“.”

These words seemed to touch Gan Yanyu's heart.

The girl held the beer glass in both hands, and her azure eyes began to tremble.

Since returning to the competition, the pressure brought by classical music has always lingered on the girl. It is like a curse, which deepens with the end of each game.

The further you go, the stronger the power of the spell becomes.

And now we have arrived at the Longqin Cup competition.

How could one not be moved when he learned that there were many people who supported him and recognized what he did behind his back? Seeing Gan Yanyu's nose sore, Lin Tian quickly put his arm around Gan Yanyu's shoulders and gently stroked the girl's head, "Okay, okay."

"Why? I'm not crying."

Gan Yanyu's face turned red, and she quickly put down Lin Tian's hand on her head, pouted her lips, and showed a slightly dissatisfied expression.

Lin Tian knew that although Gan Yanyu had become more open now, she was still not very good at being overly intimate with him in the presence of outsiders.

He knew this, but he still did it - the purpose was to desensitize Gan Yanyu! Just like Niu Niu, it was very hard when he first touched it, as if it would erupt at any time.

But as long as you break through the threshold for the first time, vent it out, and complete the desensitization training, you can stay strong for a long time when you touch it again.

So, here are some tips for those young chefs who haven’t tried it yet.

If it is your first time, and you are worried that you lack experience and it will be over in a hurry, and you won’t be able to hold your head up in front of girls.

You can consider going to the suburbs by yourself before meeting a girl.

In this way, when you officially go to the battlefield later, you can theoretically hold out for a longer time.

“.”

"Well, actually, based on the information I got, the situation within the association is also very complicated."

He Zhichen's words brought Lin Tian back to his senses.

"complex?"

"The current rejection of classical music in our country is actually much more serious than in many Western countries."

"Is that so?"

This was something Lin Tian had not expected.

Such reforms occurred in the first place because of following the "international trend".

As a result, you tell me that our reform efforts are more drastic than those of other countries? He Zhichen finished a glass of beer and slammed it on the table with a "bang".

This guy, as usual, started to get angry in front of Lin Tian after just a few drinks.

"In fact, the reason for the reform of the International Music Association is easy to understand. It is nothing more than to expand the audience, attract young groups, and make music competitions into influential sports competitions like the World Cup and the NBA, right?"

He Zhichen held his forehead, gradually becoming emotional. "Then, we only need to make changes in the world competition. There is no need to make such a drastic change in domestic competitions. After all, many musicians of the older generation started out playing classical music!"

"So far, the reform has been very successful. The proportion of pop music in major provincial competitions has exceeded 50%. There is really no need to kill off classical music!"

"Then why?" Lin Tian asked in agreement.

"He's possessed by a demon!"

He Zhichen spread his hands and said angrily, "If you ask me, I was just afraid of losing 16 years ago!"

"That year, Mr. Gan was so high-spirited! From the Starlight Cup to the Parrot Cup, and then to the Dragon Cup, he won all the championships in a crushing manner! His cello was known as the most powerful performer since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The best cello player? - That was a title in writing. In private, everyone called him the God of Cello!"

"It was in this atmosphere that before the expedition to Vienna, the champagne in the music circles of China was popping like crazy! All major newspapers were filled with articles that gave Gan the title of 'World's Number One' in advance. The whole country was full of enthusiasm, and even praised Gan as a 'national hero'."

Lin Tian listened to this, and it sounded more and more familiar. He felt a strong sense of déjà vu! "The higher the praise, the more tragic the collapse when the news of the team's failure in the semi-finals spread to China!"

"It's been 16 years, and not only the cello, but the entire music industry has not gotten over the shadow of that year."

Listening to He Zhichen talking about what happened back then.

Gan Yanyu, who was standing by, gently stroked her forehead, and her body softened unconsciously.

Lin Tian quickly supported the girl, put his hands around her back and hugged Gan Yanyu under her armpits.

".Sorry, Teacher Gan Yanyu!"

Although He Zhichen was drunk, he still maintained basic rationality.

It was too cruel to mention her grandfather's past in front of Gan Yanyu.

"I'm fine, I just drank too much and feel a little dizzy. Teacher He, please continue."

Gan Yan resolved the awkwardness with a playful smile.

However, Lin Tian took a look at the wine glass on her table and he knew.

Even if both he and He Zhichen were two grown men, they might not be able to drink more than Gan Yanyu.

How could these two glasses of wine be hard to get Gan Yanyu?

The girl's eyes dimmed and she looked away.

Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu. He knew that this memory was the most painful thing for Gan Yanyu after the pain in Britain.

Although Gan Yanyu had never experienced what happened 16 years ago, she had heard this story many times from her grandfather who had only made blended coffee all his life.

"So, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​do you understand the attitude of the seniors in the Music Association now?"

He Zhichen said, "They understand everything, but now they have been blinded by revenge - so I use the word 'mad' to describe them."

"In fact, from their perspective, it is understandable that they want to help Chinese cello get rid of the shadow of 16 years ago."

"You may not have known about this, Mr. Lin Tian. In the past 16 years, we have won seven Longqin Cup championships. In the Kerr Cup, our best result was the top 64, and five of our players failed to make it past the qualifying round."

Hearing this, even Lin Tian couldn't help but be surprised.

"Top 64?"

He was familiar with the competition system of the Cole Cup.

64, this is the number of contestants in the preliminary round, which means that they only performed one preliminary round and were eliminated and sent home.

Moreover, this was already the best result obtained by two of the pianists. The other five were not even qualified to participate in the preliminary round.

In the qualifying round without even an audience, they ended their journey like a dog with no sense of existence.

Lin Tian couldn't imagine it.

In China, the Longqin Cup champion who has fought his way through layers of competitions is not even as good as a person on the side of the road in international competitions. After listening to He Zhichen's story.

Lin Tian has completely understood the whole cause and effect.

No wonder the current Longqin Cup Organizing Committee is like this.

With this result, the champions are sent to the international stage every year to be runners-up.

If Lin Tian became the chairman of the Celestial Music Association, he might be even more anxious than these old men.

If you think about it this way, you will understand.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Do the old men in the association really hate classical music? Not necessarily. The reform has only been 20 years, and most of the predecessors were excellent classical music performers when they were young.

Their love for classical music may even far exceed that of Lin Tian, ​​a "youngster" who has only been in the music industry for a year.

But, in the current environment of the music industry.

These predecessors have been overwhelmed by hatred and victory, and the entire music association has tended to be in a complex frenzy.

Even though they are over fifty years old, they still appreciate classical music in their hearts, and they can see that Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu are two rare classical musicians.

But, for the ultimate victory.

They all have to make a "right" choice.

In this war.

From the perspective of the Chinese Musicians Association, they are not wrong.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, who persisted because of their love and dreams, did nothing wrong.

Neither side is wrong, they just have things they have to insist on.

"In this case, bringing out our best music is the greatest respect for this stage."

Lin Tian stood up and smiled.

Then he raised the entire bottle of Carlsberg in front of him, looked into the bottle, and drank it all in one gulp.

“Bang!”

Putting down the bottle, Lin Tian wiped the corner of his mouth.

He Zhichen and Gan Yanyu both looked somewhat stunned.

Lin Tian said,

"Then defeat them!"

He likes this kind of game.

Who said the judges were bad? They were great! No acting, just targeting, full of bias.

It's clear that they are here to deal with you, it's nothing but grudges. Being direct saves Lin Tian a lot of intrigue.

It’s so happy that everyone stops pretending.

Then what else can Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu do?

We can't dismantle the Music Association, can we?

We presented an unprecedented and most gorgeous stage, and completely defeated these old men! The public opinion at the scene reached the point that if you don’t let us advance, millions of music fans will blast the Music Association to the point that they have to announce a rematch!

Both sides are well aware of each other's cards.

Now the competition is about who is harder! "."

"Speaking of which, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​there is one more thing you need to pay attention to."

He Zhichen opened the tablet and started reading. "Before I defeated the Music Association, I thought this opponent was even more terrifying."

After a while, He Zhichen showed the tablet in front of Lin Tian, ​​"After the game, you probably haven't been online yet - it's been so noisy!"

The Longqin Cup preliminary round came to a successful conclusion.

The discussion about the competition on the Internet has never stopped, and it can even be said to be getting more and more intense!

The first is the several stage slices that appeared in this competition.

The official account of the Longqin Cup has already been established on major video platforms, and the entire event is broadcast live.

At the Longqin Cup, all contestants’ performances were officially uploaded to the video website after the competition.

A total of 101 stages and 101 videos, without leaving out any contestant.

Among these 101 stages, 4 stages received more than 1 million views on YouTube and Bilibili respectively within three days after the end of the competition.

They are: Mao Weiang - "Sonnets of Electricity and Gut Strings" - 3.94 million views.

Gan Yanyu-"Blue Danube"-3.68 million views.

Bai Junze-"Rambo Rhapsody"-1.43 million views.

Bai Xi-"Willow Flower"-1.03 million views.

These four stage performances have all received extensive discussion online.

It has also become an important performance that has pushed the popularity of the Longqin Cup to a new height.

All four pianists received considerable attention.

Among them, Bai Junze, who had never appeared in the public eye before, has attracted countless fans with his uninhibited performance and his handsome facial features.

However, all this is just minor stuff.

It truly pushed the popularity of the entire Longqin Cup to its peak.

This is a topic that netizens came up with based on the match between Gan Yanyu and Mao Weiang in this competition.

The battle between pop music and classical music! The debate was sparked by the video for "The Blue Danube" by Moonlight and Cat.

When the large number of pop music fans attracted by Mao Weiang discovered that their brother was not so far ahead, and the number of plays of one of his classical music songs had actually reached over 3 million.

Quickly, comments appeared under the video:

[What the hell? ? This song can also be played 3 million times? ? ]

[No, I almost fell asleep listening to the first half of this song. How come his playback volume is on the same level as our Maozi teacher? ]

[The more I listen to "Fourteen Poems", the more I get addicted to it. I still listen to it on repeat. But I don't want to listen to "The Blue Danube" after listening to it once! ]

[Haha, the music industry also has its own fan club! ]

[Bullying our Maozi who just entered this circle? 】

【.】

This statement not only shocked all passers-by, but also shocked all audiences in the music circle.

They were surprised that

In this circle.

Someone actually dared to blast Yuemao fans!

This is horrible!

Everyone knows that in the music industry, anyone can be criticized, except for one group. They usually act sideways?!

Even though YouTube was so far away back then, this group of people attacked it fiercely and forced the foreigners to post an apology video and run away!

soon,

The vast majority of Yuemao fans also quickly took action and, not to be outdone, rushed to the video of "Fourteen Poems".

[Haha, ordinary people are only fit to eat this kind of thing! ]

[It’s so funny, I don’t understand the finer details, but I’m questioning other people’s aesthetics! ]

[This thing, does it have any connotation? Then let me ask you, does it have any connotation? What can you hear from it? Tell me.]

[Alas, there is no way to communicate with such a group of people with such low cognition]

【.】

For a while, the two sides were arguing with each other in a fierce battle of words and sarcasm.

The comments from both sides were trending on Weibo, leaving the onlookers confused.

The real Internet quarrel, the showdown between the top stars from two circles (fan circles) has begun!
