Zhang Dong exclaid excitedly,
"For this, they don’t mind offending the judges, offending pop music audiences, or even criticizing their own listeners and fans, just to perform ’Moonlight’ on stage!"
Zhang Dong himself is a Bilibili content creator.
He knows it all too well.
In this fast-paced, traffic-driven era,
culture, knowledge... many things that people once found familiar, which seed very serious, have changed... including classical music.
When young people edit Moonlight and Cat classical music into 15-second short video BGMs that go viral.
When audiences at concerts hold up their phones to take "Moonlight and Cat real-life check-in photos", they are essentially participating in a false classical revelry, consuming not the music itself, but the "participation in classical music" as a simulacrum.
It already reveals the sadness of the tis.
To this, Moonlight and Cat—no one blas them.
They originally rose to fa relying on short videos, gaining popularity through these forms of traffic.
They compromise with the tis, using such traffic to promote classical music, naturally enduring the backlash that cos with traffic.
Zhang Dong himself understands this.
But what really surprised Zhang Dong was,
Despite having achieved such enormous success, riding the wave of short video platforms, soaring high all the way....
Moonlight and Cat chose to flip the table.
"This piece is ant to bring classical music back to its original place!"
"To let everyone understand, classical music should be like this, the process of understanding it is inherently extrely painful and lacks feedback... how many other pieces need to be deeply appreciated and understood, just like ’Moonlight’?"
Zhang Dong exclaid excitedly,
"From the start, Mr. Moonlight and Miss Cat probably weren’t aiming to win. Here, they personally demolished the grand scene they built, just wanting to make everyone understand this through the competition!"
This approach,
regarding their competition results, their album sales, or even their future developnt path....
offers no benefits whatsoever.
Yet they still chose to do it.
"They... truly want to change this world....."
Zhang Dong shed tears and exclaid emotionally.
From this mont on,
Moonlight and Cat beca true "classical musicians".
...
...
As the last ninth chord dissipated, Lin Tian’s fingers remained on the B-flat key, while Gan Yanyu’s bow hovered a centiter away from the string.
Lin Tian raised his head, gasping for breath, and Gan Yanyu in front turned around, the two of them exchanging a glance.
They shared a smile.
They walked to the front of the stage and bowed deeply.
The entire audience erupted into enthusiastic applause.
In the backstage resting room,
Nannali, Bai Xi... a group of cellists with slightly parted lips, were so shocked they couldn’t utter a word.
In the top-floor office,
Yao Han remained silent, his provocative gaze locked onto the judges’ seats.
And at this mont,
in the judges’ seats.
Where communication was most expected and silence was impossible.
The professors and musicians were surprisingly silent.
So exchanged glances with those beside them, their expressions bitter, so gritted their teeth, their expressions conflicted, while others simply bowed their heads, pretending to be busy.
Yet Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu on the stage seed indifferent.
After bowing, they exchanged another glance and left the stage with a cheerful deanor.
Leaving behind a ss in the judges’ seats.
"....."
Three whole minutes passed.
The scene turned eerily silent.
Clearly, the scoring should have been completed during the performance or within seconds of its conclusion.
But until now,
the majority of the judges still hadn’t scored.
The judges’ seat began to echo with the sparse discussions of the judges.
But without the scoring completed, the next contestant couldn’t take the stage.
The venue remained silent.
"It seems the scoring is very contentious....."
Zhu Ye cautiously said.
At this mont, as a comntator, they needed to liven up the atmosphere, but also ensure they didn’t say anything wrong.
"Yes, maybe the judges have their own ideas."
Fengye, still imrsed in the shock brought by the previous piece, replied sowhat perfunctorily.
However, viewers in the official livestream room were already stirred by the scene and jumping up.
[Seriously, what’s there to be so contentious about?]
[Isn’t this piece amazing?? Regardless, isn’t Gan Yanyu legend-worthy on the cello??]
[Damn, they’re just pondering how to eliminate them reasonably, right?]
[Can’t leave gracefully! Can’t leave gracefully! Afraid of backlash after elimination, huh?]
[Stop the act, if you want to eliminate them just score, our Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu sister don’t care!]
[.....]
Seeing the passionate comnts fly by.
Fengye could particularly understand their feelings.
After all, from everyone’s perspective.
This piece, even ignoring its top-tier conception, just in terms of musical enjoynt.
Such a pinnacle of abstract performance, unquestionably among the highest level in this Dragon Violin Cup.
What’s there to discuss?!
If there’s controversy, there’s only one possibility, an old-tir is up to no good!
Moreover,
The conception cannot be ignored!
"....."
In fact, only insiders like Fengye knew.
Controversy ant true hope for Moonlight and Cat.
If scoring was completed in an instant, there’s only one situation, and that’s Gan Yanyu was already eliminated.
