CHAPTER 427: CHAPTER 317: ALL PROCEEDS FROM MUSIC WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITY!_3

"Don’t say that, I don’t want to be some great person."

Upon hearing Gan Yanyu’s words, Lin Tian immediately raised his index finger to emphasize,

"I just feel that having so much money is distracting, and it wouldn’t be good if it affected our dreams!"

"Alright then—"

Gan Yanyu didn’t argue, nor did she continue the conversation; she just smiled sweetly.

Then, she glanced at the eager audience below and suddenly realized, quickly letting go of her hand.

After letting go, Lin Tian bowed his head to look at his suit’s shoulder.

Gan Yanyu tilted her head:

"What are you looking at?"

"I’m checking if your nosebleed got on me....."

".....You idiot, Lin Tian!"

...

...

The Moonlight and Cat concert concluded.

But the excitement in the music world had just begun!

The next day.

Qingjiang’s largest music media NQ, along with several local news outlets like JY and Skyfire, featured headlines about the Moonlight and Cat concert.

[Possibly a Historic Live Show—The Pinnacle of Contemporary Classical Music ’Fate Symphony’ Debuts!]

[An Unprecedented Classical Concert Truly Brings Classical Music to the Masses!]

[Lin Tian: Undoubtedly the Premier Contemporary Classical Music Composer in Tian Chao, Learn About His Life!]

[Could Classical Music Truly Rise Again in the Future?]

[.....]

At the same time.

It was not just local Qingjiang media.

Major music media and journals across the country almost all launched a special column for it.

Overnight!

The entire music community in Tian Chao remembered the name Moonlight and Cat!

Min Taiyue, a professor at Tianchao Music University, publicly stated:

"I never thought I’d see the day when classical music rose again in my lifetime."

"’Fate Symphony’... I really can’t believe that such a scene came from an 18-year-old composer and performer." Renowned music critic Hu Wenliu commented on Weibo,

"Tian Chao’s classical music truly has a bright future! Qingjiang City actually produced two such geniuses!"

At that moment,

major music colleges, the academic music community, and media forums were all discussing the Moonlight and Cat concert.

The concert’s footage was analyzed frame by frame in many classrooms.

Especially the transition in the concert,

from ’Fate Symphony’ to ’Four Seasons·Spring’ by Moonlight and Cat.

Gan Yanyu’s personal experience as a cellist was integrated, providing the audience with an ultimate audio-visual experience.

This scene was deemed by many experts as a "highly artistic" teaching material.

In the future, it could completely serve as a concert case for future learning and understanding.

The only slight pity was:

"After all, it was a personal concert for ’Moonlight and Cat’ and didn’t use a large orchestra performance method."

Min Taiyue said,

"This resulted in ’Fate Symphony’ not fully expressing its effect, leaving room for improvement."

In fact, just as Min Taiyue mentioned this in an open class at Qingjiang Music University,

at the same time, many art associations and individual musicians had already contacted the Moonlight and Cat studio to purchase the usage rights for ’Fate Symphony.’

Even though the album hadn’t officially been released yet.

Just a concert recording spreading out had already made the music world flock to it!

And Lin Tian welcomed all those looking to purchase usage rights.

After all, he had announced from the start that all music proceeds would go to charity.

For those buying the copyright, while it was quite costly to perform ’Fate Symphony,’ knowing they contributed to charity made it more acceptable.

This way, both the performers and the copyright holder Lin Tian were satisfied.

It was a win-win situation to some extent.

Additionally, aside from the attention received by composer Lin Tian,

cellist Gan Yanyu also garnered significant attention during this concert, showcasing endless potential and attracting recognition as a Qingjiang cellist.

Following the earlier statements, Min Taiyue continued:

"Though this personal concert didn’t have the accompaniment of a large orchestra, it didn’t lack in emotional impact! All credit goes to cellist Gan Yanyu."

"Her solo cello could rival half an orchestra!"

"Shamefully, I had never heard of this cellist before."

"It’s said that in the second half of the year, she’ll attend the Dragon Violin Cup in Baijing. If possible, I will make sure to witness this cellist in action...."

.....

Amidst the academic turmoil,

ordinary netizens on Weibo also fervently discussed the concert.

"Awesome! Really awesome! Live performances are indeed different!"

"Honestly, I’m relieved it was just a scare. I cried so hard when Miss Cat fell!"

"I’ve seen dozens if not hundreds of celebrity concerts; I even have an album made of tickets, but this classical concert was my best experience ever!"

"Withdrawal reaction... do you know about withdrawal reactions? Sigh, coming back from Qingzhou, I’m feeling so empty, when can I see the next one!"

[.....]

Parallel to the high acclaim of the Moonlight and Cat concert was the explosive popularity of the "Moonlight and Cat Foundation."

Especially the scene where Moonlight announced on stage, which moved countless fans to goosebumps.

Netizens all expressed that liking Moonlight and Cat was the best decision they ever made!

Famous Bilibili music streamer Mr. Dong even announced big news to fans after returning home:

"From today on, I won’t be streaming as frequently..."

"I plan to resume practicing the violin! I hope to return to the professional stage this year!"

Zhang Dong’s eyes were brimming with tears as he said to his audience during the stream.

The often jested "unwanted retired violinist" by fans, Zhang Dong seemed to have long accepted his role, always self-mocking as a clown.

Anyway, as long as I can make money, that’s fine!

Being a violinist doesn’t earn you as much as being a streamer!

Yet,

this time, after witnessing Moonlight and Cat establish their foundation and donate new song proceeds....

"I realized... there are such pure musicians in this world..."

"Perhaps, that’s why I could never reach such heights."

Zhang Dong sighed, then lifted his head, looking at the many viewers who thought he was joking, earnestly saying:

"You always say that I’m the ’viewer who understands Moonlight and Cat the best’ online, and I quite like that nickname."

"But now I know."

"The person who best understands Moonlight and Cat can be anyone but a retired violinist in his twenties!"

"Because, if he truly understood, he wouldn’t be sitting here streaming like a cripple every day!" Zhang Dong cursed himself with a self-deprecating tone, biting his lip tightly.

"Guys, life is a dream, live it splendidly."

In the end, Zhang Dong bowed deeply to the tens of thousands watching in the live stream,

"Dong is off to chase his dream!!"

.....

While the entire internet was still immersed in the aftershock of the Moonlight and Cat concert.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu enjoyed quite a leisurely break.

These two days, Lin Tian rarely even turned on his phone.

The next day, he accompanied Gan Yanyu for a comprehensive check-up at the hospital.

Although Gan Yanyu proclaimed triumphant victory on stage in overcoming the stage,

in reality, her condition at the time might have even caused internal injuries.

With the college entrance examination approaching, a thorough health check was essential.

...Fortunately,

after the check-up, Gan Yanyu was fine and just needed some rest.

The girl’s bronchitis improved significantly after a few days of medication.

Everything seemed to progress positively.....

Until that day, Gan Yanyu received a phone call.

Shortly after, Lin Tian’s door swung open.

Gan Yanyu hurriedly arrived at Lin Tian’s home, holding the phone, and said:

"Grandpa, he is improving...."
