[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →𝘁𝘄𝗸𝗮𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺]

Lin Tian was stunned, turned his head, and found that Bai Xi was indeed talking to him.

"Do you know me?"

"Teacher Lin Tian!"

Bai Xi immediately showed a happy smile, walked up, and shook Lin Tian's hand enthusiastically,

"I have heard of your name for a long time, I have heard of your name for a long time!"

"?"

Lin Tian pulled his hand out.

He didn't remember what "famous" he had that was worthy of the cellist's long-standing admiration.

"I watched your performance with Teacher Gan Yanyu at the Soul Concert. It was the first time I knew that there was such a skilled pianist in Qingzhou."

Bai Xi said, his eyes full of admiration.

His attitude towards Gan Yanyu just now was even better than before.

"Well, thank you."

Lin Tian nodded, his expression still did not change much.

He admitted that the person who noticed him at the concert was indeed not simple.

However, given his position, he always felt that this girl was a little strange.

"Can I ask what is your relationship with Teacher Gan Yanyu?"

Bai Xi asked.

"Partners."

This is obvious to everyone, and Lin Tian has nothing to hide.

"Is that all?"

"The best partner."

Lin Tian repeated.

"That's great!"

Bai Xi smiled brightly, and as she spoke, she moved closer to Lin Tian.

"Teacher Bai Xi, if you just want to praise me, thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I don't have time to accompany you now."

Lin Tian said politely, took a step back, and then said,

"And stay away from me - I'm afraid Gan Yanyu will misunderstand."

"."

Soon, Lin Tian saw what Sichuan Opera face-changing was.

The smile on Bai Xi's face disappeared instantly.

And then replaced it -

the girl showed a meaningful look.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Don't worry, I just want to talk to Teacher Lin Tian."

"What to talk about?"

"I heard some rumors recently - of course, they are just rumors, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​you don't have to rush to refute them."

Bai Xi tiptoed around Lin Tian and walked beside him.

"After disappearing for more than a year, he came back with great strength. His concert shocked many people.

Gan Yanyu, who was called the 'walking classical score' by the association in the past, changed his playing style after returning. Not only did he abandon his previous playing style, but he also injected emotions that he had never had before into the music."

"It is rumored that this is because Gan Yanyu met a good teacher, this Teacher, not only helped her complete the transformation of her playing style, but also allowed her to fully unleash her talent in classical music."

"But, Mr. Gan had been with Gan Yanyu for so long before, but he didn't achieve such results. What's more, Mr. Gan had a car accident some time ago, and it was impossible for him to continue to accompany Gan Yanyu. "

Bai Xi stopped and stared at Lin Tian closely,

"Teacher Lin Tian, ​​who else could this 'teacher' be besides Mr. Gan?"

"Yes, who is it?"

Lin Tian touched his chin and thought seriously,

"Maybe Mr. Gan came to me in a dream."

"Haha, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​you are really good at joking."

Bai Xi laughed.

In fact, it was already obvious what the answer she said was.

"I have always felt that an excellent manager who can appreciate and cultivate a musician is much more powerful than the musician himself. It is easy to find a musician, but it is difficult to find a soulmate."

"I am a high school student, not a manager."

"So, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​you admit it?"

"You have made it so clear? Is it necessary to play word games?"

"."

Having gotten used to getting along with Gan Yanyu, Lin Tian really wants to punch her when she talks in a roundabout way.

"Teacher Lin Tian."

Bai Xi lifted her buttocks and sat on the table, looking at Lin Tian.

There was a burning look in her eyes:

"Are you interested? Find a time for me to play for you alone?"

"Not interested. I am very busy. I have to cook for Gan Yanyu every day."

Lin Tian refused decisively.

"I know your concerns, Teacher Lin Tian. I definitely don't have the same idea as you think. I know that an excellent teacher like you always chooses students by himself and will not be shaken by what others say."

"I just want to play for you alone once and listen to your opinion."

"I think you must have misunderstood something."

Lin Tian didn't know what bad thoughts Bai Xi had.

But based on these two sentences, he probably understood her thoughts.

So, Lin Tian didn't perfunctorily answer her, but said seriously,

"The relationship between Gan Yanyu and I is not what you imagine as a 'manager' and 'musician'. We are just ordinary high school students. Of course, maybe unconsciously, it does mean a little bit what you said."

"But I hope you understand that the two of us are mutually accomplished."

Lin Tian said seriously.

In getting along with Gan Yanyu, Lin Tian may indeed, sometimes, act as a producer.

For example, in this process, Lin Tian has always been able to obtain the joy of "cultivation", and sometimes Lin Tian himself likes this kind of joy.

But in fact, most of the time, the two of them are partners with a common dream.

For Lin Tian, ​​he was very happy to find a musician who could play the music he had brought so perfectly.

Moreover, unknowingly, Lin Tian himself has been being affected.

From the beginning, if it were not for the system, I would most likely not have touched music. But now, during the art exam process, I have gradually felt the charm of music, and now I am ready to go all out.

These were all brought to him by Gan Yanyu.

"From what you just said, I can't feel the respect you have for my partner. It's already a great honor for me to be able to talk to you so far."

Lin Tian finished speaking politely.

"."

Bai Xi was stunned for a long time.

Then, he spoke:

"Then what did you like about Teacher Gan Yanyu in the first place?"

"Of course all of them."

Lin Tian suddenly laughed and said rather nonsensically,

"I'm a little fan of Teacher Gan."

"ah?"

Bai Xi was caught off guard by Lin Tian's sudden change of expression.

She was obviously the one who started it, but now she was stopped by Lin Tian.

She slowed down for a while, and finally showed a lack of interest.

"Okay."

Bai Xi smoothed her black dress and got off the table.

He said seriously to Lin Tian:

"Teacher Lin Tian, ​​please watch my performance carefully for a moment."

No harsh words were said.

There are no strings attached.

He just turned his head and glanced at Lin Tian.

The corner of his mouth raised, with a hint of joking confidence.

It seems that he is saying those familiar words to Lin Tian——

For musicians, let’s talk about music.

Then, turned around and left.

Only Lin Tian was left stunned in place, and his mind was filled with the scene of the conversation between the two just now.

Exposed while sitting at the table.

Black, triangle, lace.

So damn sexy!

I have to share it with Teacher Gan.

Lin Tian rubbed his hands and went back to find Gan Yanyu.

After finding Gan Yanyu's makeup booth, Lin Tian walked over.

At this time, Gan Yanyu had already put on makeup and was in the process of sculpting her face.

Seeing Lin Tian coming, Gan Yanyu asked:

"What were you and Bai Xi talking about just now?"

"Nothing, she wanted to give me a solo, but I said no."

".oh."

Gan Yanyu's pupils dilated slightly.

The girl nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Any more?"

"Yes, I got a lot of useful information."

Lin Tian said seriously,

"Don't worry, your number one rival Bai Xi, I have already seen through her panties!"

"ah?"

Soon, the host's voice came from the big screen in the lounge.

"Dear judges, distinguished guests and dear audience friends.

In the lounge, everyone quickly raised their heads and looked at the big screen.

Lin Tianye and Gan Yanyu looked over and saw Bai Xi walking towards the stage.

"The one who is about to take the stage is the No. 1 player from the professional group, the young performer Bai Xi!"

It's actually the first one.

Lin Tian was a little surprised.

It was clear that the final preparations had just been made, but he still had the leisure to chat with himself?

The number Gan Yanyu drew was number 7.

"7" OK, Lin Tian likes this number.

It feels like the top eight should get out of here.

Seriously speaking, if it’s too early, you’re likely to be unprepared; if it’s too late, you’re likely to be more nervous because of the long waiting time.

The middle number was indeed just right for Gan Yanyu.

"."

After omitting a series of personal introductions and historical honors, the host said:

"Please enjoy Bai Xi's performance - "Golden Dance"."

Bai Xi walked to the center of the stage and sat on a chair.

She gently lifted up her skirt and set up the cello.

As she gently pulled the bow——

A lyrical and gentle piano sound came from the TV.

"."

Nice to hear.

Lin Tian felt this almost as a first reaction.

The “good-sounding” here is not “good-sounding” in the traditional sense.

But compared to other music, it is obvious that this piece of music by Bai Xi can give people a more pleasant feeling.

"This is pop music."

Gan Yanyu on the side said.

"Pop music?"

"Yes, rather than the expression of emotions, pop music pays more attention to the emotional resonance with the audience and serves the audience's listening experience."

"I see."

Lin Tian nodded.

Understand it in a simple and crude way.

Compared with other music, pop music is more like barbecue at a roadside stall.

Tasty, but not nutritious.

I have to say that Bai Xi is also very courageous.

You know, the cello instrument itself has nothing to do with the elements of pop music. It is not a versatile instrument like the piano, which can be perfectly integrated into any music element.

It's a very picky tune.

"."

It can be seen from Gan Yanyu's frown.

not simple!

If you want to play popular music on the cello, the first step is to arrange the music yourself and adapt the music into a format suitable for cello solo.

Then, in the competition, the cello must focus on the main melody of a popular song, captivating the judges and audience with a highly technical performance.

Then, most importantly:

During the performance, you must be good at using techniques such as portamento and vibrato to make the music more vivid and expressive.

And, the contrast between staccato and legato enhances the sense of rhythm and dynamics, giving the solo a more pop-music feel.

This is a great challenge for players.

It can be said that

This life is making it more difficult for yourself!

Whether it's "popular music" or "classical music" or whatever it is.

On the Star Cup stage.

In theory, there should be no bonus points option.

What kind of music to play depends purely on personal preference. Different styles, of course, have different judging criteria.

But, at the competition, pop music is played on the cello

Anyway, from Lin Tian's point of view, this is quite extraordinary.

Otherwise, it is a wild way to graduate from high school!

Those academic students may never be able to do such a job!

So,

On the stage of the Star Cup, Bai Xi plays pop music.

How did she perform?

"."

At this moment, the reactions of other people in the lounge have already given the answer.

"As expected of Bai Xi, who participated as a special soloist with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra last year."

"So strong. Even though he is the first one to play, he is in such good shape!"

"As expected of the runner-up in the last Yingqin Cup. Who else can compete with her this year?"

"."

Many players were talking to each other.

In the lounge, an atmosphere of extremely low pressure soon spread.

Lin Tian can probably understand this feeling.

In film and television works, there are always competitions.

Whoever comes first usually doesn't get any good results.

Because of the need for drama, the response to the last player must be better than the first response. This is in line with the expectation of progressive emotions.

However, this rule.

It doesn't seem to work well for Bai Xi.

The "Golden Dance" played by the girl gives people a moving melody that makes hormones rise in the dance hall.

The music is gentle and long.

Its lyricism is not like the classical music played by Gan Yanyu, which is full of "tears" of affection.

Bai Xi's lyricism is more like that of a charming socialite, elegant but not vulgar. She shows her graceful charm in the center of the stage.

Her tears were caused by being fucked.

Very beautiful.

Lin Tian looked a little stunned.

Unconsciously, I thought of black, triangle, and lace.

It’s time to say it or not.

Very strong.

Stronger than Lin Tian expected.

Not only did she bring out pop music on the cello competition stage, but she also used it with 200% effect.

Both technique and emotional expression are of first-class quality.

Worthy of being the runner-up!

Lin Tian also sighed in his heart.

No wonder Gan Yanyu named this person in the car.

It is indeed Gan Yanyu's big rival in the Longqin Cup this year.

"."

On the big screen, Bai Xi, who was playing the piano bow, raised his head and glanced at the camera for a moment.

Lin Tian's heart "thumped" for a moment.

Think back to the conversation just now.

Is this the music Bai Xi wants to hear?

What did she want to express?

Oneself - is unique and needs nothing to prove it.

Or maybe.

Watching Bai Xi exuding her opposite-sex charm on the stage.

Lin Tian didn't know if it was an illusion.

Those eyes seemed to be saying:

Have you considered becoming my "little fan"?

Is this her plan?

I have to say, it is indeed sexy, and ordinary men may not be able to stand it.

However, Lin Tian obviously didn't like this.

Bai Xi's performance ended.

The lounge quickly fell into an atmosphere of despair.

Many players have already started to huddle together to keep warm.

"How can this be played? Pop music can be played like this!"

"It's over, it's over, what should I do if I feel like I'm playing a piece of cake?"

"What makes me feel uncomfortable is not meeting Bai Xi here, but meeting her in the Yingqin Cup next month."

"23 years old. What kind of monster is this? Putting the strongest first is because we think the people behind us are not strong enough to withstand pressure?"

"."

No matter what the competition is, it is indeed a bit torture to put the favorites in the first performance.

With a performance of this caliber, who wouldn’t panic?

However, Lin Tian is still very optimistic.

Strong is indeed strong.

However, we have Gan Yanyu for a mere wild road!

Lin Tian turned around and was about to say something cool.

Then he suddenly saw Gan Yanyu huddled in a chair, frantically drawing a five-pointed star on his thigh.

"It's over, it's over."

"Sit tight for me!"

Lin Tian pinched Gan Yanyu's thigh under her skirt and helped her forcefully refresh the drawing board.

The latter straightened his legs suddenly, raised his head, and showed his innocent eyes.

"I"

"The competition is about to begin, are you going to give up halfway now?"

"No. I'm just nervous."

Gan Yanyu played with his fingers and said weakly.

It is impossible to retreat or escape or anything like that.

But being scared to death was very possible for Gan Yanyu.

At this time, Gan Yanyu had already put on makeup.

Sitting there, she felt a little less green, but she looked more beautiful than ever before.

"Oh, yes, your hair tie."

Lin Tian noticed that Gan Yanyu was still in a state of dispersion.

Then he took off the hair rope from his wrist and placed it in Gan Yanyu's palm.

"Don't worry, Teacher Gan, just play."

Lin Tian said, "I will always be your number one fan."
