"So beautiful..."
Fengye couldn’t help but mumble.
"It’s here."
In the office, Yao Han spoke almost with a wildly upturned mouth corner,
"An experiential performance unique to Gan Yanyu!"
....
At that mont,
A scene of unparalleled beauty enveloped the entire Baijing Music Hall’s lobby.
Backstage, nurous cellists were also surprised, slightly gaping.
What kind of ultimate beauty is this?
Moonlight shattered on the lake surface, each piece of silver foil silently dissolving.
As the night breeze swept across the reeds, the dark green leaf sheaths trembled softly, imprinting the lake’s ripples into the lines of a musical score.....
The reflection of the abandoned bridge on the opposite banks was broken by ripples, tiny light fish swam out of the cracks in the rotten wood, carrying star fragnts sunk to the lake’s bottom back and forth.
Moist mist rose from the water surface, condensing into translucent ribbons winding between willow branches.
In the gaps of the decaying wooden boardwalk, last autumn’s sycamore leaves were slowly sinking, with vein patterns in the moonlight clear as strings.....
This scene was stunningly beautiful.
So much so that,
it was beautiful to the point of seeming... unreal.
Unreal....
What kind of poetic scenery could be fake...?
Zhang Dong murmured to himself.
Suddenly,
Zhang Dong’s eyes lit up.
He abruptly raised his head and shouted:
"Right... None of this is real!"
"....."
"Lin Tian’s Moonlight is not the moon, but the illusion on the water surface!" Fengye said excitedly.
"What illusion on the water surface...?"
Zhu Ye beside had a confused expression, as if in the clouds,
"Don’t get so excited, we’re explaining it, we need to make sure the audience understands, right?"
"In other words, this piece ’Moonlight’ inherently doesn’t have any story, this is Lin Tian’s deliberate intention....."
"Deliberate intention? You an we were all just guessing before?"
"You could say that."
Fengye tried hard to organize his thoughts and said,
"Honestly, I don’t know if what I’m saying is right... But I think, this piece of music is just a reflection Mr. Moonlight wanted to present to us, letting us view ourselves through such a reflection, what you see is what it is....."
"Then what’s the aning behind Lin Tian’s approach?"
"Critique."
anwhile,
Zhang Dong in the livestream said the exact sa thing as Fengye.
"Mr. Moonlight has always been like this, he enjoys mixing personal stuff in music... This ti is no exception."
"This ti, he composed a work that overturns the classical music form, a piece of abstract composition!"
Zhang Dong almost comnted with a bitter smile,
He spread out in his chair, fully displaying an "admitted defeat" look of genuine acceptance.
From this perspective.
The entire ’Moonlight’ suddenly beca clear!
"This piece uses fragnted arpeggios to build an auditory space, deliberately avoiding setting a focal point and structure."
Fengye explained to the audience,
"This ’centerless’ design, in essence, is a satire on the grand narrative structure of classical music!"
"I see...."
Zhu Ye murmured in shock,
"Then what about the climax? Why isn’t there a climax?"
"Anti-climax aesthetics..."
Fengye spoke of sothing strangely unfamiliar yet extrely familiar to Zhu Ye.
"Really?"
"Yes, the aesthetic Lin Tian adopted precisely critiques contemporary people’s listening habits that chase after ’instant gratification’....."
At this point,
Fengye stopped talking further.
Thousands of audiences were watching!
His latter half of the sentence was quite obvious:
’Moonlight’ satirizes those audiences who can’t appreciate good music because they seek emotional gratification from it.
And it’s directed at the crowd that listens to ’Gun Out Like a Dragon’.
And it’s not an ordinary criticism!
The most absurd thing is,
Lin Tian even criticized his own listeners!
When all the audience beca anxious because this "classical music" did not et their expected "classical music anticipation."
It precisely exposed the essence of many audiences present—
What they wanted was nothing but a kind of classical music formalism.
Without the elents they deed cool, they might directly deny this classical music performance!
And Lin Tian’s concert was ant to break all of this.
When the ’Moonlight’ piece played.
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu re-entered the final performance.
The restless and uneasy audience had already fallen into his trap.
"So over-the-top... Mr. Lin Tian....."
Fengye couldn’t help but say,
"This is going to turn the tables!"
The most intriguing thing was the reaction of the judges that was coming soon!
