[Gan Yanyu? She is indeed a perforr who has garnered a considerable amount of discussion in Qingjiang Province this year. Why is Mr. Tuoba interested in this contestant?] the reporter asked.
[I watched her competition video, her and another perforr’s performance, Lin Tian’s, to be honest, I think such a performance is not up to par! I can’t imagine how such a performance is so popular in Qingjiang....]
[Ah, Mr. Tuoba, when you say "not up to par," what standard are you basing this on? Do you really think such a performance is not up to par, or do you an "having such popularity yet not showing the expected level of skill, so it’s not up to par"?]
[It’s just not up to par.]
Tuoba Jianhui’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, his stern face showing no emotion,
[Using this interview, I hope that if the contestant sees this later, she can think clearly about her own issues, make proper adjustnts, and I do not wish to see a performance like ’Soul Concert’ on the stage of the final!]
[...Okay, next question]
[.....]
Not up to par...
Yes,
What does it an?
"..."
Gan Yanyu was stunned.
She stood there, dazed, for a long ti.
"Why?"
"Is my performance really that bad...."
It seed to be beyond the young girl’s capacity to endure.
Gan Yanyu’s gaze was vacant, she murmured softly and turned her head, revealing a sad and innocent expression...
"That damn old man! Don’t listen to him!!"
Lin Tian slamd the table and cursed loudly,
"What does he think he is?! Just because he’s lived longer does that make him a great musician? Probably just another one of those international types who look down on classical music, huh?!"
"No, he’s a classical musician..."
"Damn it! Then you must have done sothing to piss him off!" said Lin Tian.
It’s unreasonable,
Way too unreasonable!
It wasn’t that Lin Tian was being blindly loyal nor was it because Tuoba Jianhui had brought up his na while criticizing Gan Yanyu!
You might say that Gan Yanyu’s performance did not reach the top provincial standard.
You might also say that Gan Yanyu’s current fa does not match her skills.
Lin Tian could grit his teeth and accept these things.
After all, that’s just how Gan Yanyu is.
Brilliant one mont, terrible the next.
When she’s off her ga, she can’t even perform the basics; her personality is her biggest weakness.
But when she’s fully in the zone, her performance is second to none compared to any world-class perforr!
Whether at the Soul Concert or the Star Cup finals.
Gan Yanyu perford her pieces well.
And they still insist on calling it "not up to par"?!
Even if you said "not that good", it would be more reasonable than saying "not up to par" right?
No matter how you look at it, it’s just ridiculous!
"I don’t know....."
Gan Yanyu said dejectedly.
To be criticized like this by a musician she had admired for so long.
Anybody would find it unbearable, let alone Gan Yanyu.
"Maybe, it’s just that my performance isn’t good enough..."
"How could it be——"
Lin Tian said, "Even if you don’t have any beef with Tuoba Jianhui, you can’t guarantee your grandpa doesn’t, right! This kind of critique, no matter how you look at it, seems to be mixed with personal grudges!"
Not only did Lin Tian feel it was absurd.
At this mont, as the interview video was broadcast, comnts from the viewers also began popping up one after another.
[Wow, Sir Tuoba’s criticism of Gan Yanyu is too harsh, isn’t it?!]
[I, who have never liked Gan Yanyu, think it’s too much, her performance can’t be that bad, right?]
[Could it be just pure hatred? I don’t get it, after all, I also have musicians I inexplicably dislike.]
[Sister Yanyu’s music is clearly amazing!! Why speak of her that way?!]
[Damn it! Apologize to my Sister Yanyu nowwwww!]
[...]
"Grandpa, a long ti ago, spent so ti with Mr. Tuoba’s orchestra,"
Gan Yanyu said.
"Nananana!"
Lin Tian slapped his fist,
"Now the truth is out!"
"It must be because Sir Gan had so old grudge with Tuoba Jianhui when he was young, like owing money and not paying it back or sothing, and now that your grandpa is hospitalized, he’s taking revenge on you, his granddaughter!"
Lin Tian said.
What a terrible old man, holding onto a grudge for decades, seeking revenge on his granddaughter, that’s it?
How cruel, Lin Tian thought if he had offended soone and they waited to take revenge on his and Yanyu’s child while he was sick in bed, he’d be furious enough to unplug the respirator and fight...
"It won’t be like that, grandpa’s relationship with Mr. Tuoba... should be very good."
"’Should be’—they were buddies before you were even born, right?"
"Although Mr. Tuoba can be bad-tempered, he is definitely not petty."
Gan Yanyu said earnestly.
[...]
Defending soone even after getting slapped in the face.
Lin Tian felt sowhat helpless.
Anyway, in Gan Yanyu’s eyes, there are probably no bad people in this world.
"If he really did say that on purpose, it should be... to motivate ... I’m not good enough right now, nowhere near his standards..."
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, due to different identities and stances, also have different perspectives on this issue.
Gan Yanyu has always held great respect for musicians, especially older generations, because she herself was born into such a family, so a filter is normal.
Not so with Lin Tian. He never had such filters for these people.
old man is old man; those who treat well are good people, those who don’t are lousy old geezers.
Like Mr. Wan Qi, and Mr. Gao Zhenyang.
These musicians who had genuinely helped him, Lin Tian respects a lot.
Soone who cos up and starts insulting Gan Yanyu, dragging his na through the mud in the process, is just a jerk.
"Anyway, I have to work hard to make Mr. Tuoba take a fresh look at in the competition!" Gan Yanyu said.
"....."
Since Gan Yanyu put it that way.
Lin Tian had no choice.
From a motivational standpoint, Tuoba Jianhui’s words could indeed have a positive effect.
He could only hope that Gan Yanyu wouldn’t feel too much pressure in the preliminaries.
"Let’s start formal training tomorrow!"
"Okay."
After cleaning up the dishes, Lin Tian tidied up the kitchen.
Then, he saw Gan Yanyu off.
When he returned to the living room, the system interface appeared in front of him.
