Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 149 - 124 Gan Yanyu’s Fandom_2

[Yes, that’s about the kind of person I am. Usually, I can joke around and be very amiable, but if you touch my reverse scale, I will let you know what true darkness is...I intended to face everyone with a compassionate heart, but some people just force me to unleash the demon inside me. So I want to ask you, when you truly face a demon, can you still hold your ground?]

For a moment,

The comment section of the "E Minor Cello Concerto" suddenly turned into a large storytelling event.

Many netizens shared their experiences and past stories with great interest, and then offered their interpretations of the piece.

It seems that everyone found the emotions they were seeking in this piece!

It’s interesting,

Regardless of how these people’s stories are fabricated, or whether their interpretations are correct or not,

At least, everyone was genuinely appreciating the piece itself.

The voice of the Sugar Craving Party suddenly weakened a lot.

Lin Tian was quite surprised.

How did the netizens become enlightened so quickly in just half a day?

Lin Tian searched online for a while before finally coming across Tong Tai’s Weibo.

Isn’t this the senior who recommended Gan Yanyu last time?

And he’s a composer from Qingjiang Province...

I have no connection with him,

This must be an encounter with a noble person!

Lin Tian silently followed the old gentleman.

Feeling that, perhaps, there will be uses for this connection in the future.

...

As Lin Tian was engrossed in his phone, he got distracted.

Looking at the time, it was already six o’clock.

Oh no!

Gan Yanyu will be back soon.

Lin Tian put down his phone and hurried with his work.

The next dish was sweet and sour ribs.

Eating too much sweet food is bad for the health, especially since Gan Yanyu is still in recovery.

Therefore, knowing that Gan Yanyu usually eats a lot of sweets, Lin Tian would try to make less of these high-sugar dishes - although Gan Yanyu loves them.

But today, since she has a competition,

Might as well treat her well.

After quickly finishing the last two dishes,

Lin Tian arranged all the dishes on the table.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Lin Tian felt a wave of satisfaction.

A full sense of accomplishment.

At this moment, Lin Tian felt like a dutiful wife waiting for her husband after a hard day’s work.

Of course, if this "husband" brings back good news, Lin Tian wouldn’t mind playing this role...

"Oh right, dessert."

Gan Yanyu specifically instructed, there must be dessert after dinner.

Lin Tian opened his phone, opened the delivery app.

One milk tea.... two servings of pudding...

Should get a frappe too.

Otherwise, it’d be awkward for her to eat alone.

"..."

Lin Tian was still pondering.

"Dingdong!"

The doorbell rang.

Is she back?

Lin Tian opened the door.

Gan Yanyu stood outside, carrying her cello.

Just finished with the competition, she still had her exquisite makeup and elegant long dress on.

But her face bore a deep tiredness.

"....."

The girl looked down, silent, quietly changed shoes, and walked into the house.

"What... what’s wrong?"

Seeing Gan Yanyu’s appearance, Lin Tian suddenly had a bad feeling.

Even when WBG was defeated at 9:0, his face wasn’t this bad.

Gan Yanyu walked into the living room, glanced at the table full of dishes, but first went to the couch, put down the cello, and plopped down.

"Did you lose? Met a tough opponent?"

Lin Tian couldn’t help but ask.

"No way, the preliminary evaluation is random classical music, right? You shouldn’t have lost!"

"It must be a fix! Absolutely a fix!!"

Lin Tian sat next to Gan Yanyu, still ranting—

The girl grabbed his arm.

Then, placed it on her thigh.

With a dive,

She buried her head into Lin Tian’s arm.

"I... I passed the preliminary round smoothly."

Gan Yanyu whispered.

"Then you..."

"I performed so poorly... I went off-pitch in several spots where I shouldn’t have, I was too nervous..."

"How come?"

Lin Tian was puzzled.

You have to know, if nothing else, Gan Yanyu is like a walking classical music score.

As long as she takes it seriously, it’s almost impossible for traditional classical music to go off-pitch.

You might say Gan Yanyu’s performance lacks emotion, like a robot’s, but you can never say she "played it wrong"!

"Did you wear the pendant properly?"

"I did..."

Gan Yanyu lifted her head and grabbed the pendant on her chest.

"It’s just that I’m too useless... Even if you were there today, Lin Tian, I probably couldn’t have handled it..."

"Ah?"

"Look."

Gan Yanyu took out her phone.

It was a post on Weibo.

Scrolling down, there were various candid photos of Gan Yanyu entering the venue.

[Saw Gan Yanyu! Wow!! She’s really beautiful!!]

[Yes, yes, just like the legend!!]

[Wuuu, she even glanced at me just now!]

[...]

Many people shot videos of Gan Yanyu entering and posted them on Weibo with captions.

Even those who screamed in the videos were just like a massive idol-chasing scene.

"This... why does it feel like a star holding a concert?"

"Yes, you know, Lin Tian! There were people in the audience holding light sticks with my name! Have you ever seen those, Lin Tian? The colorful, glowing, flickering ones with ’Gan Yanyu’ written in big letters..."

Gan Yanyu’s expression became one of terror, vividly describing it as if recalling something very frightening.

"This is the first time I’ve seen this at a competition!"

"....."

Lin Tian understood.

Having a concert-like setup at a music competition was indeed formidable.

Under such circumstances, how could Gan Yanyu not be affected?

She probably glanced down mid-performance, saw the audience all excitedly staring at her with eyes full of expectations and admiration...

It would be good if Gan Yanyu’s hands weren’t shaking.

From this perspective, Gan Yanyu’s surging popularity attracting so many fans might not be a good thing after all.

"Doesn’t the organizer care?"

"They do, but it’s just... they sort of care, sigh, maybe because the Star Cup is a non-official competition... not regulated as strictly as official ones..."

"Indeed."

For events like the Star Cup, which are non-official, they definitely enjoy seeing popular contestants like Gan Yanyu bringing a large new audience and significant online attention.

In fact, it’s not uncommon for popular musicians to have young fans.

However, most fans, being from the music scene, tend to pay more attention to their own behavior, knowing what to do and what not to do in a concert hall.

But Gan Yanyu’s fan base is much more complicated.

Because she "broke out" of her circle.

A considerable number of fans, attracted from Weibo, Xiaohongshu, or other places, might not have been interested in classical music or even listened to a complete song before liking Gan Yanyu!

But attracted by Gan Yanyu’s looks and thinking that the title "talented female cellist" is very cool...

They then flooded into the circle.

Most people don’t even understand classical music, but they still enthusiastically come to watch the competition.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t understand the competition —

Big sister is the most beautiful, big sister is the best!

That settles it.

Maybe that was a bit harsh to say.

These "appearance fans" coming from Weibo are indeed harder to manage than the original "music fans."

If there’s a good point, it would be that their spending power is extraordinary, providing strong emotional value... However, Gan Yanyu would never think of capitalizing on her fans.

"If the finals are like today..."

Just thinking about it, Gan Yanyu felt terrified!

Lin Tian thought of countless ways for Gan Yanyu to relieve the pressure at the scene when the time comes.

He just didn’t anticipate the immense pressure from the fans below!

If it was a personal concert, a fan meeting.

Even if it was an idol event like at the Tokyo Dome, where tens of thousands of fans cheer together in a massive venue, Gan Yanyu wouldn’t be so reactive.

But unfortunately, this is a competition.

A competition of utmost importance to Gan Yanyu.

"I’ll call Gao Zhenyang in a bit, ask if he can talk to the organizers."

Lin Tian said,

"For now, let’s go have dinner."
