Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 180 - 149: Adventuring in the Tango Rhythm
Chapter 180: Chapter 149: Adventuring in the Tango Rhythm
Gan Yanyu didn’t need to explain, Lin Tian already felt it.
The performance just now, if rated out of 100, Gan Yanyu could only score 70, merely achieving the most basic level of performance.
In other words, she was not in the zone.
To use it in a competition, better performance is needed.
However, this was also within Lin Tian’s expectations.
After all, it deviated from traditional classical music, this style was too bold for Gan Yanyu.
"What emotion were you trying to convey this time?" Lin Tian asked.
"Just...just..."
Gan Yanyu thought for a moment and said in a low voice,
"That kind of...romantic feeling..."
"Romantic?"
Lin Tian was somewhat startled.
"Right."
Gan Yanyu didn’t know how to describe the feeling.
Too novel, yet indescribable.
But what she could feel was that the depicted artistic conception was too beautiful, giving her a feeling of being unattainable...
Gan Yanyu’s performance needed absolute immersion to be accomplished.
If the depicted artistic conception was too distant for her, she would instinctively curl up her legs...
"Sorry... Lin Tian, I must be very troublesome, right?"
Gan Yanyu hurriedly said.
"A little bit."
"Right..."
"But, you are also improving, aren’t you?"
Lin Tian smiled, "You no longer say ’can’t do it’, ’can’t play it’, instead you say ’might not be suitable’, which shows you are also thinking carefully, right?"
"..."
Gan Yanyu nodded silently.
"Then let’s not talk about these discouraging words, we just need to adjust properly."
Lin Tian said.
He originally didn’t expect a new song to be mastered quickly by Gan Yanyu.
If it were before, facing such an unfamiliar piece, if it touched Gan Yanyu’s threshold, she would likely start to shy away from it.
Saying "not suitable" meant that Gan Yanyu was seriously pondering.
Lin Tian already saw it clearly.
Gan Yanyu’s talent for performance was a double-edged sword.
If she could resonate with the emotions within, she could perform completely immersively.
If it didn’t resonate, or if she delved too deep, she would end up unable to perform, or turn the performance into a disaster...
Gan Yanyu also had to make efforts in this regard.
For Lin Tian himself, transporting music pieces was quite simple.
But just because his creation did not require inspiration, he shouldn’t deny Gan Yanyu the time to find inspiration for her performance.
"Actually...what I said just now... I think, for this piece, we can record it later... After all, for the competition, I can just use the previous ’E minor Cello Concerto’..."
"This isn’t like you."
Lin Tian said, "Which of your previous stages did not feature a new piece?"
The most outrageous time.
One week before the concert began, the "G minor ’Pathétique’ Symphony" had just been written.
It was still not understood, even two days before the concert began, it had not been played to a satisfactory level.
But out of love for this piece.
Gan Yanyu still unflinchingly took the piece and charged onto the stage.
This time, with another piece causing resonance issues, would Gan Yanyu think it’s not suitable?
"Is it because of that old man’s influence?" Lin Tian asked.
"Yes."
Gan Yanyu admitted,
"I was thinking about the meaning behind what Mr. Tuoba said, where exactly he thinks my performance is lacking..."
"I told you not to think about that anymore."
Lin Tian stretched out his hand and waved it frantically in front of Gan Yanyu.
He could accept Gan Yanyu wandering in her thoughts due to resonating with a piece.
But he couldn’t accept her being hesitant because of a few harmful words from that darn old man!
"Here’s what I’ll say!"
"No matter what reason that musician named Tuoba has for disliking your performance, and regardless of whether his words make sense or not."
"A highly respected senior in the music industry saying such harsh words to an 18-year-old girl during an interview, such behavior is absolutely unforgivable, you know!"
"..."
"Mm."
Yanyu was frightened by Lin Tian’s tirade.
Her pupils dilated and she nodded, "Okay."
"Mr. Gan, I hope you truly understand now."
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, warning with a distrustful attitude.
Then, he returned to sit back at the piano,
"Let’s play this piece a few more times and try to grasp the feel....."
Actually, Lin Tian also felt that if the piece were to be recorded directly, it would lack some essence.
If it’s a Tango, just sitting on a boring bench and playing, it looks quite meaningless.....
"Lin Tian, let’s change the location."
"Ah?"
"Always staying home and thinking, we might not come up with anything."
Yanyu played with her hair,
"Although it might be a bit troublesome... I want to try changing the environment, the mood, maybe then inspiration will come."
...Surprisingly.
Yanyu’s idea coincided with what Lin Tian was currently mulling over.
"Then where should we go?" Lin Tian asked.
"I know a place."
...
...
Bishui River Bank.
Blue sky, white clouds, colorful street buildings.
Opposite the river bank, at the entrance of a bookstore, Lin Tian stretched out his hand and wiped the dust off the piano.
This piano seemed like it hadn’t been touched for a while.
"Thump—"
Lin Tian pressed the piano keys, fortunately, it was still in tune and didn’t need re-tuning.
The wind blowing over the river smelled of earth and was refreshing, making people feel comfortable.
The environment here was indeed quite nice.
Playing piano for so long, Lin Tian had never tried playing outdoors.
For switching moods, it certainly was a good choice.
"However..."
Lin Tian glanced at the bustling pedestrian street.
Though it was not a busy downtown area, there weren’t many people.
But located near the river bank, it still attracted quite a bit of attention.
He himself was indifferent, but concerning Yanyu...
".....Mr. Gan, what are you doing?!"
Lin Tian turned around and saw Yanyu had already put her hair up, donning a cap, sunglasses, and a mask, fully incognito.
If not for the safe IP address, Lin Tian would have thought she was preparing for a zero-dollar shopping spree.
"If we are performing on the street... in order not to be recognized, these preparations are necessary, aren’t they?"
Yanyu paused for a while and said,
"Lin Tian, you should cover your face too." freewёbnoνel.com
"Mr. Gan, do we really need to go to such lengths...."
Lin Tian took a black mask and hat from Yanyu’s hands, feeling somewhat unconfident.
Performing in front of a shopping mall entrance, who knows what kind of people they might encounter.
To some extent, this was much more thrilling than performing on stage, as unlike concert halls that prohibit filming, there might actually be random audiences coming up, interacting with them up close.
Later, they might even be recorded in various short videos and uploaded to platforms like Douyin.
Yanyu has become so bold!
"If we do nothing, we’ll just be stuck in the same place..."
Yanyu whispered softly, she unzipped her bag and pulled out her cello,
"The characteristic of Tango music is sadness and passion, the unique Tango rhythm is like exploring and venturing... so, I want to experience that feeling."
"That feeling...?" Lin Tian muttered dazedly.
"Mm."
The girl turned around, looked at Lin Tian, and smiled slightly,
"The feeling of being seen by everyone as a pair of super romantic random performers with Lin Tian."
