Chapter 567: Chapter 378: Major News in the Music Industry
When he said this, it was obviously targeted.
On the other side, Bai Junze had just finished a piece, crossed his legs, and sat on the chair with a careless demeanor.
Upon hearing this, he raised his head and looked over.
"I’m talking about you, Mr. Bai Junze."
Mao Weiang spoke as calmly as possible,
"Since you’re here, could you please adjust your attitude?"
"What attitude?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Junze became disgruntled,
"I’ve been playing very seriously, it’s just my capability, don’t put pressure on me!"
"....."
Hearing this, Mao Weiang said nothing, simply picked up his bow again, clearly showing dissatisfaction with Bai Junze’s comment.
He raised his eyes and looked at Bai Junze, speaking each word slowly:
"This is one of the two most important performances in my life. If you don’t care, then at least don’t hold me back."
"....."
Bai Junze looked at Mao Weiang, stayed silent for a while.
After a moment, he snorted coldly and picked up his bow again.
Bai Junze lowered his posture, held the cello tightly against his chest, with eyes full of determination.
"Let’s continue, Mr. Lin Tian."
Mao Weiang urged Lin Tian.
The young man paused as he looked at the two in front of him. Then his gaze lingered on Mao Weiang, recalling what Mao Weiang had just said.
He stood up and walked next to Mao Weiang,
"Mr. Mao, actually there’s a small issue with your performance. This might be your personal style, but I think it’s necessary to mention."
Upon hearing this, Mao Weiang’s pupils immediately widened, and he quickly turned towards Lin Tian:
"Listening eagerly!!"
"Your performance feels too vague."
Lin Tian said.
This was a problem Lin Tian noticed with Mao Weiang as early as the preliminary round of the Dragon Violin Cup.
Perhaps, in the pop music he composes, this isn’t a problem and nobody cares.
But for the ensemble piece they’re performing now, this issue is quite serious.
Because in "Zhao Zilong," although the lower limit is very low, in an ensemble that needs to raise the upper limit, his performance obviously creates a disconnect with Gan Yanyu.
At first, Lin Tian thought:
Maybe Mao Weiang brought his performance habits into the ensemble, he’s just expressing his music in his familiar way.
But after hearing it a few more times, Lin Tian now feels.
It seems, Mao Weiang really is not good at expressing...
"Indeed, this is an issue my former cello teacher mentioned to me, but I didn’t take it seriously before."
Mao Weiang sighed,
"You’re truly remarkable, Mr. Lin Tian, you spotted it instantly."
"Mr. Mao, I think it might be because you focus all your thoughts on the ’feeling’ of the music itself."
Lin Tian said.
Since Mao Weiang humbly asked, Lin Tian didn’t hold back,
"Maybe try to read the ’heart’?"
Once upon a time,
Lin Tian learned this ability from Gan Yanyu.
"Heart...?"
"Yes."
"I’ll give it a try."
Mao Weiang said.
"...."
Returning to the piano, Lin Tian looked again at the two determined individuals and said:
"Start!"
...
...
Zhilong International Hotel.
Top floor, inside the office.
"Have you heard, Mr. He, recently Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu seem to be planning something big."
By the tea table, Yao Han poured hot tea into the cup and presented it to He Shumo.
"Something big?"
Upon hearing this, He Shumo smiled relaxedly and said,
"What could be more exciting than them participating in the finals?"
Ever since the semifinals, he has seen outrageous things, so He Shumo’s threshold for surprise is quite high.
A normal event wouldn’t really shock him.
However, since it involves "Moonlight and Cat," considering their immense reputation.
He Shumo couldn’t help but ask,
"What are they planning?"
"Recently, they’ve been getting close to Mao Weiang and Bai Junze."
"Them? With Mao Weiang and Bai Junze?? Damn?!"
He Shumo couldn’t help but exclaim,
"What could those four possibly be doing together??"
Bai Junze, this always solitary cellist, with very little known by the major media, being nearly impossible to find outside of competition days.
Maozi, this one is a heavyweight.
His previous online disputes with Moonlight and Cat were quite fierce, igniting a battle between pop and classical music in the music world, even attracting national television for a special feature.
These two individuals,
Either one relating with Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu is quite absurd.
Yet, it’s both of them together.
The four of them now walking together....
What could the four of them possibly be doing together??
Two classical music maniacs, one from pop music, one a wanderer.
"What are they going to do?!"
He Shumo couldn’t help but ask.
Seeing the anxious He Shumo, Yao Han laughed.
Not even started yet, already so worked up.
Yao Han took a sip of hot tea, with a mysterious smile on his face,
"They’re planning to hold a public concert, a quartet performance."
"Ah?!"
Even though he had mentally prepared, hearing this result, He Shumo felt his preparation was clearly inadequate.
"Those four...performing together?"
"Pop music or classical music?"
"Both." Yao Han said,
"Composed by Lin Tian."
"....."
"That’s terrifying!"
He Shumo tried to calm himself, picked up the teacup,
"Imagine how lively the concert will be if it actually happens."
Moonlight and Cat... and Mao Weiang.
Saying this, He Shumo seemed to think of something,
and couldn’t help but laughed again.
"Did you think of it too?"
Seeing He Shumo’s smile, Yao Han immediately smiled mysteriously.
"Hey, Mr. Yao, did you think of the same thing?"
"What do you mean thought of the same thing? Mr. He, I just feel your reasoning is becoming more and more bizarre."
"Mostly it’s been influenced by you."
He Shumo put away his smile, adjusted his glasses.
Indeed, spending too much time with Mr. Yao, your mental state gets a bit polluted.
"The main reason is, their fan base is not hard to guess."
He Shumo said,
"How could they... want to see such a collaboration?"
"Exactly, Mr. He."
Yao Han paused and said,
"You come from an academic background, and you have broad connections in the media."
"Why don’t you consider... releasing this news in advance?"
