Chapter 358: Are you treating Moon Cat fans as Japanese?
Baijing International Concert Hall.
In the morning, there was a surge of people at the main entrance.
Audiences, media reporters, and people from all walks of life who are participating in the study are queuing up in an orderly manner to enter the venue.
The scene was bustling with activity.
"Welcome everyone to the second stage of the 2025 Longqin Cup, the semi-finals!"
The live broadcast room was just opened.
The two commentators arrived at the location quickly. The camera cut to the entrance of the concert hall on one side and the two commentators were already in place at the commentary desk on the other side.
"Hello everyone, we are the familiar 'Double Leaf Combination'! I am Zhuye."
"I am Maple Leaf."
"Today, we will explain this semi-final for you!"
The scene changed.
Cut to the back entrance to the concert hall.
This is the entrance for contestants.
At this time, contestants have arrived at the venue one after another, carrying their cellos and walking inside.
[Damn it! My brother Ze is here! ]
Soon, some netizens who were watching the live broadcast suddenly noticed Bai Junze.
He is so special.
Among so many contestants entering the venue, he was the only one who was not wearing a suit or a dress.
No - actually he was wearing one! If the combination of that floral shirt, the casually tied black tie, and the black coat that covered his entire body could be called a suit.
Bai Junze, walking in the crowd, is so eye-catching that he can be caught in an instant.
In the preliminary round, this kind of combination once made the audience feel ridiculous.
But as this guy sang "Rambo Rhapsody" with sparks and lightning on the stage, he completely conquered all the audience!
This is a weird combination.
The more I look at him, the more I like him! In everyone's eyes, he has become artistically sublimated! [My brother Ze still dresses in a bohemian way! ]
[Hahaha, did you see that there is another bath ticket stuck on his guitar case! ]
[This is my brother Ze. I only participate in the competition because it is my own thing. Living a simple and ordinary life is the real life.]
[To be honest, I am not interested in the competition between classical music and pop music. I just want to see my brother Ze welding on the stage! Weld to death those pianists who are dressed like decent people! ]
【Come on, Brother Ze, beat them up! 】
【.】
Next one, in front of the camera.
Following her came a lady in a black fitted dress with a mink wrapped around her arm.
【Teacher Bai Xi! 】
Some netizens in the barrage instantly called out her name.
She had extremely delicate makeup on her face, and she looked dignified and elegant.
Every step is full of the charm of a mature woman.
Although she was just entering the venue, Bai Xi gave the feeling of walking out of a catwalk. Among so many pianists, she was the woman who looked like a top model the most!
[So hot. I like Teacher Bai so much! ]
[Every time I watch Sister Bai Xi’s performance, I feel like I’m watching a beautiful woman dancing! ]
[She is really beautiful and strong. Although she is not as well-known as Gan Yanyu, I always think that Bai Xi's piano skills are better! ]
[Honestly, she is the only one who reminds me of the plot of Play when she plays. I always feel that she must hold the bow in this way or that way in private.]
This netizen’s comment was blocked by the system just as it was posted.
The next second, he was removed from the live broadcast room.
"It can be seen that the audience is in high spirits today!"
Zhuye said with a smile.
The game hasn't started yet, but the excitement in the live broadcast room can't be stopped just by watching the players enter.
"That's not true. Today is an important match for the finals. Out of 50 people, only 11 contestants will remain!"
Maple Leaf took this opportunity to popularize science to the audience.
"Over the years, the players who have been able to advance to the finals are all the best in the Chinese cello world, and will be included in the annual TOP10 list by the official Music Association!"
"Yes, this is something every pianist should be very proud of."
After hearing this, many viewers opened their mouths slightly and began to sigh.
Indeed, this is the final of the Longqin Cup! Aren’t those who can enter the final the top ten in the country? Even if you don’t win the first, second or third place in the end, just entering the final is the highest honor for a cellist! Many newcomers who just started to get into music competitions this year.
Although I don’t have much idea about this “top ten in the country”.
However, they at least know that this year's popular contestant Bai Xi seemed to have been eliminated in the preliminary round last year.
She is so strong! Even a player like Bai Xi failed to make it to the finals two years ago.
It is conceivable how terrifying this “national TOP10” is.
"In addition, I would like to share with you one more point."
Bamboo Leaf said,
"In the semi-finals of the Longqin Cup, which is related to the qualifying list, each judge will make their scores more carefully."
Make more careful ratings? Many viewers laughed when they heard this.
Isn't this just nonsense?
Sitting on the judges' panel, can you be more than cautious?
"Precisely because of this caution, the perspective of our judges may be somewhat misaligned with that of the audience. For example, a performance that some audiences may think is particularly good may not be that good in the professional perspective of our judges," said Zhuye.
"Yes, something like this happened in our last competition. A contestant's fans were dissatisfied with the judges' scores and made a scene at the entrance of the concert hall." Fengye said with a smile.
"Yes, that time really left a deep impression on me!"
Zhuye also fell into reminiscence and said with emotion, "After all, the contestant who was eliminated was a very famous contestant at the time! It's normal for fans to be dissatisfied."
"As a fan, you can't accept your idol being eliminated, I understand!"
Feng Ye smiled and said to the camera,
"In fact, music is a very subjective thing. You can't do something impulsive just because others have different opinions from you. Our judges represent the highest level of the current music industry. They have a more professional perspective to judge what kind of performance is better. I believe that our judges also respect all the contestants of our Longqin Cup."
Listening to the bamboo leaves and maple leaves talking and laughing.
The audience in the live broadcast room felt something was wrong the more they listened.
Suddenly, we talked about ratings and grading, and the topic of fans' irrational behavior. Why do I feel like I'm pointing fingers at someone?
Some more sensitive netizens immediately heard the problem.
[Good fellow, are you trying to hint at our Moonlight Brother and Cat-chan! ]
What is a "popular player".
"Irrational fans"? Who are you scolding? Everyone knows,
In this Longqin Cup competition, which player is most likely to have a misalignment between the judges' perspective and the audience's perspective? Isn't that Gan Yanyu?
As the topics of classical music and pop music became heated up some time ago, a large number of netizens participated in the discussion and debate.
It is impossible to avoid.
Many netizens have learned about the music competition system for classical music through various popular science articles.
Good fellow! After all this fuss,
The two commentators have been talking nonsense here for so long.
It's laying the groundwork for today's game!
Doesn’t this mean that in today’s competition, there is a high probability that Moonlight and Cat’s classical music will be maliciously given low scores?
Why are we taking defensive actions in advance? You think Mooncat fans are Japanese, right?
Yuemao fans were immediately furious.
Some of the more excited netizens directly expressed their dissatisfaction in the comments: [This is so funny, this guy is not even pretending! ]
[What a more "professional" angle, this is a good reason to find in advance! 】
[We can speak directly to Moonlight and Cat, no need to beat around the bush.]
[Yes, music is a very subjective thing. I think the judges’ level is not good enough. Is that a problem?]
【.】
After these barrages appeared.
Soon, another group of people joined the battlefield.
[Ah? Did I mention moonlight and cats in one word just now? A certain fan is so sensitive! ]
[It’s so funny, I thought it was directed at our teacher Maozi! ]
[I’m suffering from paranoia again. I haven’t even started the competition yet, but I’m already imagining that the judges will give me low scores! ]
[Hahaha, I’ll be eliminated soon, and I’ll have another excuse—I can just say I was targeted! ]
【.】
With the appearance of these barrages, many Yuemao fans who had not entered the battlefield also became popular.
People from all sides quickly joined the battle, their fingers jumping back and forth on the keyboard.
[Fuck! You are lying with your eyes open, right?! Everyone knows that classical music is a weak track in the Longqin Cup! ]
[You guys who play pop music can also call it that? Everyone knows that this year's version of the competition is pop music? Just call it that! ]
[Damn it, are you guys pretending to be your mom? I'm playing a version that's too strong and causing trouble! ]
All kinds of dirty words and unpleasant adjectives floated by slowly.
The live broadcast room soon became a mess!
Looking at such a horrible barrage environment, Zhuye and Fengye were also numb.
no!
The game hasn't even started yet!
What is being played now are just the scenes of the contestants entering the venue.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Has the battle begun already?!
Before going to work today.
The two had already anticipated that today's commentary would be a very difficult task.
Who doesn't know,
The dispute with Mao Weiang revolves around moonlight, cats, and the conflict with Mao Weiang.
During this period of time, we have been arguing on Weibo for a full half month!
Half a month!
Many pop singers took to the stage, and heavyweight seniors spoke out, starting a war on the Internet.
If you are not careful, you will be wiped out in seconds! At this critical juncture.
Bamboo leaves and maple leaves, the pressure is simply exploding.
During this commentary, if either of them said something wrong, they might have accidentally said something they shouldn't have said.
It not only offends netizens, but also offends the organizers.
Just get ready for the massive online violence!
By that time, losing a job would be a small matter, and it is possible that the terrifying public opinion would drive a person mentally ill.
Therefore, the two decided to stack the BUFF by talking about the topic of the misalignment between the judges' perspective and the audience's perspective before the show started.
After all, he is an insider who knows a little bit about what is going on today.
Everyone knew that in this semi-final, Moonlight and Cat would not be able to advance no matter what! By then, the first ones to bear the brunt would be the two commentators responsible for the commentary.
No matter how you put it, it's hard to explain.
You said there's something wrong with the judges, and you don't want to do this commentary job anymore.
You said Moonlight and Cat are not good, so you don’t want this account anymore.
Stacking armor in advance also gives yourself room for the explanation later.
As you can imagine,
The pressure they are under is horrible.
It is with this belief that Bamboo Leaf and Maple Leaf began today's commentary.
However, despite having made sufficient preparations.
But clearly not enough preparation was done.
It's only been on for 10 minutes.
The rhythm of the live broadcast room was completely unstoppable! "Oh, Moonlight and Teacher Cat are here!"
At this moment, Fengye took the initiative to speak.
Netizens' attention was successfully diverted.
In the picture, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, who is carrying a cello, walk into the venue.
While Fengye was speaking, he himself was also stunned.
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu's expressions seemed much more relaxed than he had imagined?
Gan Yanyu was wearing a white off-shoulder dress and walking with graceful steps, while Lin Tian stood by, keeping an eye on the road.
The two of them walked inside, talking and laughing.
Among the many contestants who entered the venue just now, few were in such a relaxed state. Most of them had serious expressions, and some even had a stern face.
Why are Moonlight and Cat, who should be under the most pressure, so calm?
Fengye felt deeply moved and was shocked.
Perhaps, this is the calmness of the god of classical music!
[Oh my god, Cat-chan is so beautiful today! ]
[She is indeed the most beautiful cellist at the Longqin Cup. 】
[No regrets! Brother Moonlight, Mao-chan! We will always support you no matter what! ]
[Come on, it doesn’t matter if you lose, you’ve already done a great job! ]
Many netizens were also moved by Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu's relaxed appearance.
Before the game, many fans who had just been briefed on the competition system were really worried.
Many netizens felt sad when they thought that the competition between the two would most likely end here.
Some people even didn't want to watch the game at all and just waited for the replay.
I just don't want to witness that moment.
However, seeing the current state of the two, many people have come to terms with it.
I guess they both have let it go a long time ago!
Don't care about winning or losing, just to present this final stage.
Since the moonlight and the cat are already prepared.
As fans, all we can do is of course give our best wishes.
With the appearance of moonlight and cat, the rhythm of the barrage was overwhelmed by the overwhelming barrage of blessings.
There is also a lot less hostility in the live broadcast room.
Only then did Bamboo Leaf and Maple Leaf breathe a sigh of relief.
As expected, idols influence their fans, and this is no joke.
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu are not competitive and have a peaceful attitude towards life.
At the same time, it will also make their fans feel calm.
Thinking of this,
Maple Leaf couldn't help but feel more admiration in his heart.
As a music fan, he can really understand why these two people have become the top stars in the music industry today.
Only people like this can be called idols!
The last contestant to enter was Mao Weiang.
He was the last to arrive, riding in a luxurious black coupe.
When getting off the car, there were bodyguards escorting him.
When Mao Weiang entered the scene, the barrage in the live broadcast room reached a climax again.
Even some of the staff on the scene became excited.
even,
As soon as Mao Weiang entered the venue, he was stopped by the media reporters from the organizer, who wanted to conduct an exclusive interview.
Exclusive interview?
Maple Leaf was very confused because even as a commentator he didn't know.
"Why is there this session today?"
At this time, Zhuye on the side said with a smile, "Don't you know? Just last week, another song of Mr. Maozi became a big hit! It was "Gun Out Like a Dragon" written for Chen Tianwang."
"'The Gun Comes Out Like a Dragon'?"
As soon as the name came out, Fengye felt it was particularly familiar, as if it had indeed appeared frequently in his field of vision in recent times.
"It can be said that it has taken the Chinese music scene by storm. It's really hot - now the number of plays on major music platforms has exploded, and even my six-year-old kid can sing along!"
Zhuye smiled and said, "I guess many of the audience friends in the live broadcast room have heard this song before."
Soon, the comments were filled with words like "Yes," "Yeah," and "Mr. Maozi is so awesome!"
Zhuye continued:
"It is said that this time, Mr. Maozi will play this piece in the competition. Everyone can wait and see!"
Maple Leaf was completely dumbfounded.
A popular song that just became a big hit. To be performed on the stage of Longqin Cup?
