CHAPTER 657: CHAPTER 418: HOW DID THEY GET TOGETHER?

The collision of piano and cello is like a serene stream over a small bridge.

They continue to flow gently, imperceptibly, and harmonious music pours down from the movements.

Through this sound, everyone could almost visualize Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu sitting together in a recording studio, performing in harmony.

Their expressions were serious, carrying a sincere devotion to the God of Music.

Without a single distracting thought, just as pure and immaculate as the movement itself.

At this moment, they had no relationship; they were merely piano and cello, presenting to everyone an ultimate music aesthetic filled with the beauty of mathematics.

....

In fact, Bach’s "C Major Prelude" has always been a highly malleable piece throughout history.

Because it is pure enough, beautiful enough, many outstanding musicians have endowed it with new interpretations, showcasing its unique charm from various perspectives.

Glenn Gould demonstrated the rational beauty of the "C Major Prelude" with extreme speed and clear voice part layers.

Angela Hewitt interpreted it with warmth on the modern piano, emphasizing the singing nature of the melodic lines.

Pierre Handai’s performance on the cello perfectly restored the bright tone and polyphonic details of the Baroque instrument.

And now.

The ensemble of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu is a performance by piano and cello.

Under Lin Tian’s guidance, Gan Yanyu purely transformed it into a "technical showcase" that belonged to them.

At this moment,

countless audience members felt the unique classical aesthetic charm of "Moonlight and Cat" from the piece.

A composition that demands absolute skill met with a cellist possessing absolute performance capability.

At this time, their performance could be called a classic example of understanding harmonic progression, voice part balance, and touch control!

No doubt!

This "C Major Prelude" is a complete "muscle-flexing" work of Moonlight and Cat.

Within it, one can feel Moonlight’s usual fierce music composition, and Cat’s endlessly brilliant cello skills.

"We calculated every possibility, but we never expected that Mr. Moonlight didn’t consider soothing the fans at all..."

Zhang Dong said, sighing,

"We’ve really just been overthinking it!"

On the surface,

this might just be a simple misjudgment.

But thinking about it carefully, it reveals chilling details.

If you were Moonlight.

At the last national competition, you and your partner withdrew, causing a tremor in the entire music world, countless fans unfollowed and criticized you vehemently.

However, later in a live stream, you explained the reasons, letting the fans know that you didn’t withdraw from the competition because of indifference, but because one of you was injured, and compared to the competition, your partner was more important, so you were forced to withdraw, leading many fans to forgive you, but still, many couldn’t let it go.

Then, in the next month, your campus life was secretly filmed, and everyone saw your sweet life together, feeling happy.

Finally, many people began to understand your feelings, gradually forgetting the unpleasantness of the national competition and hoping that you both could live happily together.

Now, it’s time to start composing.

So, at this time, you—

1. Write a piece showcasing your bond of affection, allowing everyone to understand and sympathize with you, earning everyone’s blessings.

2. Present a wave of cool, awe-inspiring music ensemble, awakening everyone’s memories, telling them your strength remains, and dropping out was just an accident, conquering the world competition is no problem!

"Damn!"

Zhang Dong couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

It has to be Mr. Moonlight!

He’s someone who knows how to make choices.

Obviously,

everyone wasn’t even thinking about the competition during this time, they were just enjoying the sweetness of the couple.

Moonlight suddenly stood up, kicked over the table, and shouted: "No one is allowed to indulge!"

Then he told everyone that he’s about to compete in a world competition.

Everyone, pay attention! Watch our performance!

We are professional musicians, not little idols!

Just wait to watch the competition!

....This simply didn’t treat fans as people.

Couldn’t you at least pretend for a while?

Pretend a little!

Even if you’re focused on the competition, but finally having such an atmosphere, everyone was quite happy.

Why do you have to bring this up?

Even if you don’t mention it now, won’t everyone watch during the competition later!

Every year you compete for 365 days, finally being together now, even if you two don’t want to be sweet for a while, fans damn well do!!

Today’s music fans, are especially like those children who wanted to please their mom but ended up being disappointed by a mother solely focused on studies.

—Mom~ Mom, I’ll give you a little red flower....

—Have you finished your homework!!

—Sob sob sob...

Zhang Dong then remembered.

Moonlight is indeed an author who likes to carry private messages in music.

But at the same time... he’s also the kind of musician who loves to mess with fans’ mindsets in his works!

There have been countless prior examples, the most famous being the "Surprise Symphony", which was something even Zhang Dong couldn’t find a way to justify in the livestream!

Ehh, I know what the fans want to hear now, but I just won’t....

Just want to slap the fans’ faces!

....

However, this is quite in line with their consistent character setting.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dong smiled bitterly again and became somewhat at ease.
