Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 185 - 154: Is Zhang Dong Awake? (Third Shift) (Requesting Monthly Pass)

Chapter 185: Chapter 154: Is Zhang Dong Awake? (Third Shift) (Requesting Monthly Pass)

The main trigger was the appearance of some self-proclaimed objective and rational analysts in the comments section.

They claimed that after listening to Dong’s and the duo’s ensemble, it was obvious that Dong’s performance was weaker.

Among these, the more vehement comments came from a Bilibili user named "I am Cat’s Dog."

[Before I say anything, let me put on some armor—I graduated from the Music Academy, and my musical aesthetics are a bit stronger than the average person. Seeing people in the comments hyping up "Dong the hero makes his entrance" and stuff, it’s so cringeworthy.

Back to the "Spanish Bullfighting Song," the first 10 bars of the intro, all three of them did okay, but starting from the 11th bar where the main melody kicks in, Dong’s bowing and intonation obviously started lagging. From the 21st bar, where glissando is needed to express the rapid change in emotions, listening to the Violin alone seems fine, but when combined with the piano and cello, it’s a disaster! They completely drag down the other two instruments!

In the climax where the trio speeds up together, Dong’s level is even more glaringly obvious, seems like he’s just struggling through, thank goodness the video only played a section of the climax, you think if they recorded a couple more seconds, Dong would completely expose his shortcomings?

Speaking just of Dong’s performance of the "Spanish Bullfighting Song," it’s actually quite good, deserving of the title "The person who understands Moonlight and Cat best on the net," but it’s just that the performances of the other two were too strong.

Talking to those commenters, I’ll say something unpleasant—you bring in a LOW-violin to lower the quality of someone else’s performance, and you should already be grateful they’re not kicking you out, and you expect to be thanked?]

"..."

Once this comment was posted, the comments section exploded.

Zhang Dong’s fans quickly bombarded it with an average of 10 replies per second.

[You know nothing! A violin’s tension is naturally not as strong as a cello’s, so of course it’s going to seem weaker when compared!]

[Any random cat or dog feels they can talk rubbish, how dare you—go ahead and show us what you can do!]

[Do you know that Dong used to be a professional violinist! He’s legitimately participated in music competitions twice! How dare you talk smack!]

[Damn, what do you even understand? Dong specifically studies Moonlight and Cat’s music, you think you know better than him?]

For a while, the comments section was a battleground with non-stop arguments.

But since Zhang Dong had a large fan base, the confrontation mostly ended in an overwhelming victory for his side.

Even without the fan bias, many netizens naturally sided with Zhang Dong.

After all, a violinist with over a million followers in the music section and the intimidating title of "ex-professional violinist" versus two unknown passersby.

It just sounds like Dong must be the better player!

In an attempt to make a comeback, many fans got carried away, posting all kinds of comments!

[Stop it, Dong’s performance is an elevation for them! Those two could never in their lives come into contact with a Performer of Dong’s stature!]

[If Dong didn’t prefer his Bilibili fans and wanted to focus on making videos, he wouldn’t have retired. With his skill, he would’ve become an international violinist long ago!]

[Hah! If you think those two nobodies understand Moonlight and Cat better than Dong, then show us their works! Otherwise, I really question your intelligence.....]

...Stop it! Just stop!!

Zhang Dong felt like dying.

He himself didn’t know he was that amazing.

Professional violinist, it sounds much scarier than it is. Basically, if you’ve signed with a music agency, you can claim that title.

It’s like how an 18th tier singer is also a professional singer, but would you have the nerve to call yourself a star?

If he was really that skilled, would he have become an internet celebrity?

Usually, when his fans hype it up, he doesn’t mind it, might even feel secretly pleased, but now that they’re using it to downplay others in the comments of this video, he only feels a burning shame on his face.

He had already maxed out by claiming "we were evenly matched," and now the fans are insisting his violin outplays the other two.

Doesn’t that just spell death for him?

If those two masters saw this, where would he put his face...

However, the only thing Zhang Dong was grateful for.

The other two were not famous, supposedly not important figures.

Even if the video went viral, it probably wouldn’t have too much impact.

If the other party was some famous performer, or another uploader with tens of thousands of fans, Zhang Li would want to jump off a building right now....

"Ding-dong—"

At that moment.

Zhang Li’s phone rang.

On the screen, a back-end notification popped up.

[Your followed UP main [Moonlight and Cat] has updated, come check it out~]

...

A new song release?

Zhang Li was somewhat surprised.

Aside from being an UP main and a violinist, he was indeed a super fan of Moonlight and Cat, otherwise he wouldn’t have spent so much time studying Moonlight’s pieces.

After experiencing the sensation of being grilled earlier, perhaps only Mr. Moonlight’s new video could soothe him...

He opened the video.

Baseball cap, mask, in front of a bookstore...

Haha.

Must have had a shaky hand, clicked on his own video.

Zhang Dong exited, then entered again.

Baseball cap, mask, in front of a bookstore...

"Fuck!!!!!!"

With a roar echoing from the bedroom, it trembled the whole residential building late at night.

Zhang Dong’s world had collapsed.

"No, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute..."

He looked at the BiliBili~Moonlight and Cat watermark in the bottom right corner.

Zhang Dong tried to calm down and played the video.

In the video, a man and a woman sat in front of a piano, the guy playing the piano, the girl playing the cello, performing their new piece "One Step Away". Confirmed that there was no one else in the video, nor was there any hired relationship...

They two are Moonlight and Cat.

He had played the "Spanish Bullfighting Song" with Moonlight and Cat...

And then, he turned down Moonlight’s offer to continue playing together and ran off on his own...

Ran off...

"Zhang Dong what are you doing?!!"

Zhang Dong instantly turned into a frog as he jumped onto the bed, then began banging his head against the pillow.

He had refused the invitation to play with his idol and also missed the chance to... almost get Mr. Moonlight’s WeChat...

Right now, Zhang Dong couldn’t wait to curse himself a hundred times "idiot"!

However, that was not even the most devastating part.

The most devastating part was the video he posted today...

It’s over.

Now it’s really over.

....

Lin Tian, who had just finished showering, was lying on the couch scrolling through his phone.

He hadn’t had the chance to check the feedback for the new video yet, but on Bilibili, he stumbled upon an incredible video.

[Street encounter with a legend! A jam session with a passerby playing the "Spanish Bullfighting Song"! An equally matched clash, so satisfying!]

Wow, what’s this.

So the violinist from today is a Bilibili UP main, huh? Got quite a few fans.

Lin Tian became interested.

He watched the video in its entirety, and while pondering, he scrolled down, and suddenly found that in the comment section of this video, there were already over 99+ mentions of[@Moonlight and Cat].
