As the na of the first contestant was announced.
The stage lights focused, indicating that the Dragon Violin Cup had officially begun.
At this mont,
inside the official live streaming room.
The number of viewers was skyrocketing.
[Just arrived, whose turn is it to perform??]
[Did Moonlight and Cat go on stage? Go for it, Miss Cat!]
[Wow, what a large stage, is this the national competition?]
[I ca here for Maozi, it’s my first ti watching a cello competition, can soone explain?]
[I’ve always loved the cello, I hope to see the best performance today!]
[.....]
In just a few minutes, the number of people in the live room had exceeded "100,000 ".
The bullet screen at the bottom left was scrolling,
this was just the preliminary round, and such a dramatic scene was sothing Lin Tian was witnessing for the first ti.
This number was much greater than those who paid attention to the Yingqin Cup.
After all, it’s the national competition, which is understandable.
In Tian Chao, there’s such a crowd of viewers.
They don’t usually watch LPL, KPL, or the European League, La Liga.
But, when it cos to the finals, the World Cup, this group will flood into the channels, even if they don’t know the players, they’ll watch with great interest.
It’s all about the excitent and the atmosphere.
The Dragon Violin Cup is exactly like that now.
If we say that previously those who followed the Yingqin Cup were mostly music circle enthusiasts, cello aficionados, the core audience.
Then when it cos to the national competition, the spectators just there for the fun would increase several tis over.
Not to ntion this year, with pop music celebrities like "Maozi" joining, the effect of attracting viewers is exceptional.
No wonder, there’s a need for comntators in the live room for such a national competition.
It’s to ensure that even those unfamiliar with this circle can understand the competition.
"Alright, the contestant Nannali has now arrived at the side of the stage."
Comntator Zhu Ye smiled and said,
"Let’s turn the cara to the stage!"
As the comntator finished speaking.
The cara shifted.
A blonde girl gracefully stepped onto the stage.
Upon seeing the girl,
comntator Fengye couldn’t help but exclaim:
"What a beautiful cellist!"
At this mont, not just the comntator.
Even Lin Tian was taken aback.
This is Nannali??
—A brown Victorian-style performance dress with a small campus-style blazer, a golden brooch pinned at the chest.
Previously always seen in a Lolita dress, Nannali always gave a doll-like impression.
Today, she was dressed very formally, with an academic vibe, coupled with her blonde hair, giving off an air of wealth.
The girl held her cello still, inscribed with snake carvings.
Lin Tian had never paid attention to the origins of this cello before.
Until he saw comnts at a previous concert that he realized it was an 18th-century Italian cello, a family heirloom of Nannali....
Playing such an antique, Lin Tian really feared she’d break it in excitent.
Though he didn’t know why Nannali was styled this way today, seeing the girl approach the stage, he was undeniably impressed.
Actually, thinking about it.
Nannali might suit this elegant and noble attire even more.
She evidently fits the image of a mixed-blood "cool big sister."
Yet she’s always playing a child, wearing her cute Lolita princess dress daily.
Her looks are essentially sealed away.
Lin Tian might not understand fashion.
But he does have so ability to appreciate beauty.
At this mont,
The live stream’s bullet screen was filled with unique comnts from netizens.
[Whoa, what a beautiful cellist!]
[Ten minutes... I want all her info!]
[I declare her the winner already!!]
[From the na... is she foreign? Definitely a foreign lady, holding the cello with no incongruity!]
[.....]
"Clearly, everyone’s very enthusiastic about contestant Nannali," Zhu Ye said.
"Indeed, such a beautiful face is rare even among professional cellists..."
Fengye laughed, "I must say, I also like her!"
Compared to Zhu Ye’s more official comntary style, Fengye’s was bolder, saying what the audience might hesitate to express, at the right mont.
This had beco their long-term cooperative style.
Zhu Ye followed a professional route, ensuring official rigor.
While Fengye included jokes and banter to appeal to younger audiences.
And the scale wasn’t too big.
Most of the ti, there wasn’t much of an issue.
For instance, now,
Only a live stream comntary separated from the scene could directly comnt on the appearance of players in a serious competition like this.
"Hmm... let’s take a look at Christine Nannali’s detailed information... we find that she’s British, climbed up from the Qingjiang Province league, and she’s actually a direct descendant of Greta Kleden Nannali....."
The more Zhu Ye spoke, the more amazed his expression beca.
Beside him, Fengye also looked surprised.
"Wow, is it that Nannali?"
"Yes."
"Perhaps so viewers in the live room don’t know, Greta Kleden Nannali was a very great British musician, with a very high status in the music world. Historically, the Nannali family has produced many famous musicians..."
Zhu Ye said,
"However, we need to objectively view that, even from a prestigious family like the Nannali’s, in essence, she is an ordinary person like us."
"That’s right."
Beside him, Fengye soon turned serious, agreeing,
"As we can see from the information available, contestant Nannali placed eighth in Qingjiang Province. This year, there are 3 cellists from Qingjiang, with Nannali ranking third among them."
A total of three people, ranked third.
So she’s at the bottom tier!
Hearing this, the audience understood.
Given the unique format of the Dragon Violin Cup.
With only 2-3 slots per province, non-provincial champions are often chosen with careful consideration.
For a contestant like Nannali to be selected, especially with a "third-place" record.
It’s apparent it relates to the "Nannali family" background she represents.
Claiming her selection had nothing to do with her background might not be very believable.
Ultimately, it’s all about connections!
However, it’s not shaful, considering many connections appear annually in the Dragon Violin Cup.
These special invitees may derive from their background, music association connections, or influence....
As long as they’re not simply shoved in by sponsors without skill or popularity, everyone is generally quite tolerant.
But as for expectations...
That’s difficult to say.
Especially for comntators.
In such competitions, as comntators, it’s generally improper to directly criticize players for mistakes or poor performances, using more subtle thods, to praise but not criticize.
eting a "connected" contestant, it’s usually tricky to judge.
And if the player’s identity is special, subtlety goes beyond subtlety, even extending to managerial asures when errors occur.
Comntators must learn to adapt.
Who dares to casually criticize such a prestigious family?!
"..."
The pressure was already on Fengye before the performance began.
Watching Nannali center stage, raising her bow.
"Let’s see her performance, and later, we can share more about the Nannali family’s history....."
Zhu Ye said aside.
Fengye glanced at him, and the two exchanged a look, instantly understanding each other’s intentions.
They had prepared.
Facing such a well-connected player.
How she performs... It’s better not to editorialize!
The more said, the more errors could arise.
Better to divert to discussing music history, particularly the Nannali family!
This way, avoiding risks while staying on topic....
Genius!
