Before long,
[Famous composer Tong Tai comnts on Moonlight’s "E Minor Cello Concerto"...]
soon climbed up the Weibo trending searches!
While many netizens were still discussing Moonlight and Cat’s new song on Douyin, Bilibili, and in various group chats,
suddenly, word got out that on Weibo, a "big shot" had given a professional critique.
They all rushed into Weibo in droves!
All this torrential traffic quickly descended upon Tong Tai’s account.
With the continuous influx of outsiders,
for a ti,
aside from the "E Minor Cello Concerto"—
searches like "Who is Tong Tai?" and "What are Tong Tai’s representative works?" also skyrocketed frantically.
When everyone discovered that this Mr. Tong Tai was indeed a venerable and respected composer...
a euphoric thrill like never before swept over every Moonlight fan.
This was the very first ti
that sobody of significance in the circle had publicly praised them on a social platform!
Prior to this, no matter how popular Moonlight and Cat were or how many fans they had, lacking official endorsent, everyone thought they were aweso, but they just couldn’t show off any impressive official recognition.
This was the first ti,
a nod of approval from a music industry big shot!
It felt just like your favorite small-ti strear suddenly getting invited to play in the pro leagues and even winning the world championship.
Co on!
Especially after searching "Tong Tai".
That long list on Baidu Baike, award-winning works, historical honors...
As you look on, the corners of your mouth can’t help but rise crazily.
It’s like if Mr. Tong is outstanding, then Moonlight is outstanding.
If Moonlight is outstanding, then we are outstanding!
Don’t even ntion how thrilling that feels.
[Haters speak up!! From now on, let’s see who dares to call Moonlight’s songs "Internet celebrity music"!]
[Tong Elder is aweso! Tong Elder has taste! A masterpiece personally recomnded by Tong Elder, who dares to disagree?!]
[Tong Elder actually recomnded a Perforr of Moonlight and Cat’s songs on cello before! That’s having such an eye!]
[As long as you praise Moonlight and Cat, we support you as the leading composer of Zhonghua!]
[...]
anwhile,
Tong Tai, after posting on Weibo, imdiately received a call from his beloved student that evening.
"Teacher, I get that you critique perforrs on Weibo all the ti, but why even comnt on a Douyin internet celebrity?"
The student, anxious and earnestly persuasive, said over the phone:
"The internet is too murky! How do you know for sure that the pieces Moonlight writes aren’t copied? What if they collapse later on? What if internet controversies arise? Don’t end up..."
The student didn’t have the nerve to utter the heavy phrase "losing your integrity".
The more esteed the musician, the more they cherish their reputation.
This was precisely why, despite Moonlight and Cat’s songs being so popular on the internet, there was still little stir about them within the music circle.
On the internet, there’s just too much that’s indistinguishably true or false.
Moreover, they were two faceless "students".
If they had signed with a company and released albums, it would be one thing. But the two of them have only ever uploaded videos online from start to finish.
Who knows what kind of scandal might break out later on!
Tong Tai was the first of his status to openly "pick sides" on a public platform.
His student beca imdiately anxious.
Why did you even get involved?
Does praising them earn you money?
Hearing this, Tong Tai imdiately took offense.
He cursed over the phone:
"What’s wrong with praising well-composed music?"
"Such a fine piece of music, nobody appreciates it, nobody understands it, everyone just looks at whether male and female singers match or not? This is ridiculous!"
"Isn’t it exactly at tis like these that we, the older generation of cultural workers, should co out and guide everyone...?"
Tong Tai’s words did not convince his student.
Later that evening, even a couple of his peers ca over to ask about this matter, and suggested he delete his Weibo post.
Because this ti, the popularity was truly trendous!
Twenty thousand fans on Weibo is really trivial.
Normally, a post getting about a hundred likes was already quite good.
But this ti, the comntary on the "E Minor Cello Concerto" had already reached 110,000 likes, thousands of comnts, and made it to the hot topic charts.
It attracted the gawking of countless netizens.
And Tong Tai’s bold comnts t with the reciprocated affection of the broad base of Moonlight and Cat fans.
Following the principle that if you praise our Mr. Moonlight, then you’re our sworn brother even though born from different parents.
This post hadn’t even been out for a day,
and this previously obscure composer’s follower count skyrocketed by 60,000.
This wave belonged to both Moonlight and Cat fans, and Tong Tai’s mutual dedication!
...
...
A bit later,
Lin Tian, who was preparing dinner for Gan Yanyu, picked up his phone and checked the backend again.
Suddenly realizing that the video had already received 920,000 likes.
It doubled in half a day?
Lin Tian was surprised.
When he scrolled through the comnts section, by this ti, the tone here had changed drastically.
[Mr. Moonlight’s compositions are like tea; they might seem inscrutable or even bitter at first taste, but it’s only after repeated savoring that the depth and flavor erge!]
[I’ve been looping it several tis, truly mind-blown! As expected, Mr. Moonlight’s works need to be savored...]
[Let put it this way! It’s normal for average people not to understand Mr. Moonlight’s this piece... it really requires soone with experience and life knowledge to understand it!]
