Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist

And the increasing video click rate and music streaming in the background, that's the real deal!

"..."

"Is it really that captivating?"

Lin Tian's curiosity was also piqued.

He lay on the sofa, looking at Gan Yanyu's photos, lost in thought.

Actually, from Lin Tian's objective point of view, the photos should have backfired a bit.

Originally, the performance was supposed to follow a confident and high-end route, but it made Gan Yanyu look like a queen.

Such overly intense photos, yet so many people liked them.

Even Lin Tian was a bit curious.

Why is it that even with such unpleasant expressions, so many people were fascinated?

Maybe because he's not an M, so he couldn't get it.....

It seems only when the play schedule is realized that he can experience it firsthand.

.....

The day after announcing De Pu's new endorsement.

He Zhichen invited Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu out for a meal.

Both dressed casually for the occasion.

At the table, He Zhichen dropped the usual casualness and solemnly announced a piece of news to them.

"The official entry list for the Dragon Violin Cup is out."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian took a deep breath,

"Isn't it supposed to be announced in May? Where did you get it?"

"Insider information."

He Zhichen, as always, showed confidence in his information sources,

"This time, representing Qingjiang Province at the Dragon Violin Cup, there are a total of three cellists."

"One is Gan Yanyu."

"Another is Bai Xi."

Upon hearing this name, the two of them were slightly surprised again.

It's natural for Gan Yanyu to qualify. As the Yingqin Cup champion, she was directly invited to the Dragon Violin Cup.

And Bai Xi, as the Star Cup champion and Yingqin Cup runner-up, being the second cellist to participate in the national competition, was also expected.

Nevertheless, hearing it directly was still quite stimulating.

After all, Bai Xi is definitely a tough opponent.

Her extraordinary adaptation of modern music always brings unexpected impacts on everyone.

Who wouldn't be afraid of a musician who can occasionally unleash a nuclear bomb-like surprise?

The uncertainty is too strong.

And she always appears extremely confident, even in defeat, she has an "all within control" expression.

Though it's quite a show-off.

But one can't deny, it's quite terrifying.

In this regard, Lin Tian feels that the pressure Bai Xi brings is no less than what he encountered at Xiao Bang International Piano Competition with Burke and Nishikawa.

The current Lin Tian is no longer the Lin Tian of the past.

After having solo attended competitions in Japan, he is now a truly independent professional pianist.

He has witnessed the top-notch playing skills and ultimate instrumental showmanship.

With cellists like Bai Xi, there's now a bit more awe.

"Mr. Lin Tian, after the Xiao Bang International Competition, you've also received quite a bit of attention in the domestic music scene."

He Zhichen said,

"Once you arrive at the Dragon Violin Cup, you'll be the most watched accompanist, and may even attract criticism from judges who don't appreciate your style."

"Therefore, your performances will become increasingly important. The Dragon Violin Cup is a very proper stage, and performances like the Yingqin Cup finals shouldn't appear again." Thank you for reading. This was brought to you by M|V|L*EMPYR.

Lin Tian understood what performance He Zhichen was referring to.

It was the finals where he and Gan Yanyu played "G Minor No.5 Hungarian Dance."

In that performance, it was basically Gan Yanyu carrying it all the way through.

It had little to do with Lin Tian.

In fact, it was only later, through Gan Yanyu's letters, that Lin Tian realized the emotions contained in the piece.

He Zhichen's meaning was clear.

At the Dragon Violin Cup, because he was already a "highly regarded pianist,"

he couldn't just wing it, or it might affect Gan Yanyu's score.

What kind of logic is that?

Am I not just the accompanist?

It seemed He Zhichen noticed Lin Tian's confusion.

He Zhichen added:

"In the eyes of some judges, your accompaniment outshines others, thus demanding more from the cellist, which is quite normal."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian understood again.

It's like when people debate who the best ADC in the bot lane is, the support always plays a part in the discussion.

Others have a certain support, you have one who's competed internationally.

The standards naturally differ.

It's like when people realized how inadequate IG's Baolan was, even needing JKL to signal basic ward placements.

Then they realized how strong JKL was in 2018, winning a championship while dragging such a burden.

Translated to this situation, Lin Tian's new fame, instead, made some external critiques harsher on Gan Yanyu.

Alright, he went abroad to build his résumé once.

And now it's adding pressure for Gan Yanyu.

But it's understandable.

After all, he is a pianist who snagged three prestigious awards in one go.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian felt a little smug.

Although it's being targeted, it's also an acknowledgment of his prowess.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Tian paused, suddenly realizing he seemed to have overlooked a crucial piece of information.

"Didn't you say there were three people entering the Dragon Violin Cup? Who's the other one?"

Logically, two would be enough, one provincial champion, and one special invitee.

In past years, rarely are there three or more cellists entering the Dragon Violin Cup.

"It's an old opponent of yours."

He Zhichen said,

"Nannali."

"This kid is very diligent, while you guys were taking a break, she never stopped. She went back to England, participating in quite a few competitions."

"Next time you meet her, she might become a major competitor for you."
