Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 67 - 65 "Tense and Exciting" Tune

Speaking of which, Lin Tian himself has no experience with music concerts.

Even adding up his experiences from two lifetimes, he hasn’t attended any.

The reason is very simple.

It’s really expensive!

In third and fourth-tier cities, there aren’t many concerts to speak of.

In first-tier cities, the ticket prices for a concert are often exorbitantly high.

Like for a Symphony concert, 200-1000 yuan.

Opera performances might go up to 2000 yuan.

Chamber music concerts are a bit cheaper, still costing 100-500 yuan.

And if you want a decent viewing spot, the price is usually closer to the higher figure in those ranges.

If a renowned orchestra is playing, then you even have to consider prices similar to those of famous pop star concerts...

The concert Gan Yanyu is preparing for is a solo concert, these invite somewhat famous musicians to take turns performing, and the price definitely won’t be low.

Compared to forty yuan movie tickets, seventy yuan script killings, two hundred yuan Foot Washing City services, eight hundred yuan brothel visits, two thousand yuan escorts... the cost-effectiveness of concerts is too low, definitely not the first choice for young people.

No wonder, concerts always give off an impression of having a high threshold.

Since Yanyu said it’s because she hasn’t performed on stage for a long time, that’s why that situation occurred.

Then it’s simple, just go to one and experience the atmosphere on site.

Maybe she’ll find her feeling back right away.

...

Hearing this, Gan Yanyu seriously pondered for a moment.

She hesitated:

"Tickets aren’t cheap, right?"

"No worries, there’s still quite a bit left from the money that fan rewarded us earlier, just treat it as a relaxation."

The "fan money" Lin Tian mentioned was the ten thousand yuan he got earlier from the system.

With just the two of them spending, indeed not much is needed; taking taxis already counts as their biggest expense.

...

Gan Yanyu pondered again for a while.

Lin Tian wasn’t in a hurry, waiting for Yanyu to think.

In his view, Yanyu was hesitating over the steep expenses and whether familiarizing herself with the venue was needed to find her condition...

But in fact,

What was on Yanyu’s mind was not at all what Lin Tian was thinking.

Going to a concert with a partner, would that be crossing a line...

Yanyu’s mind was a bit messy.

It’s different from practice, training, eating meals.

This was already considered an entertainment activity...

It somewhat felt like a date.

If this was crossing the line.

What was it when Lin Tian hugged her during the day...?

Was it the longevity of their friendship?

This question is kind of complex...

But, since Lin Tian didn’t say anything, Yanyu decided not to overthink.

It’s just watching a concert after all, and also to help her regain her state.

"Okay, let’s go."

Yanyu agreed.

"Alright."

...

As it was getting late, and since Yanyu was fine, Lin Tian cleaned up the dishes and was ready to go home.

Just as he was about to leave, Yanyu, who was looking at her phone, hurriedly waved at Lin Tian,

"Wait a moment, I have a few more questions!"

"Ah?"

"I’ve applied to the organizer, letting you accompany me on the piano, so the organizer also needs to confirm with you about the performance-related matters."

"What matters?"

Yanyu, twirling the hair at her temples, glanced at her phone and said:

"Any requirements for the performance equipment, microphone, monitor speakers, musical instrument models?"

"None."

"Any special requirements for sound tuning?"

"As long as the sound is accurate, it’s fine."

"Do we need a technical rehearsal? If so, when will it be..."

"You can decide that."

Lin Tian, not being too familiar with these professional aspects, said,

"I’m good with anything, I’m just providing accompaniment, unlike you musicians, I have no special requirements."

Lin Tian just needed to play the piano onstage, but Yanyu had a lot more to consider.

"There’s still something...the most important!"

Gan Yanyu once again lifted her hand high,

"We need to submit the playlist before Monday..."

The girl said softly:

"At least three pieces."

"....."

This reminded Lin Tian.

Without counting "Dream Wedding," so far, Lin Tian only has "Ode to Love" and "Can-Can."

Of course, in a concert, you don’t have to play only your own compositions, in fact, very few people do...

But Lin Tian felt, since it’s original, it should all be original, mixing in someone else’s piece would be strange.

He thought he could take his time before the concert started.

The deadline is the day after tomorrow?

Then he has to compose a new piece right away.

"Can you do it?"

Gan Yanyu asked cautiously.

To her, Lin Tian was a perfect composer.

In less than two weeks, he had already composed three pieces of high-quality music...

Now, with "Kangkang Dance," not many days have passed; even the greatest composers shouldn’t be rushed like this.

Gan Yanyu didn’t want Lin Tian to suffer such pressure because of her concert.

Gan Yanyu knew how difficult composition was.

"No problem," Lin Tian said.

"Don’t force yourself..." Gan Yanyu said, somewhat worried.

Lin Tian thought for a moment and felt he shouldn’t seem too boastful in front of Yanyu.

He then said seriously:

"Actually, I compose so quickly because I usually jot down my musical ideas in a notebook whenever inspiration strikes."

"When I need to create a piece, I select one of these ideas and develop it into a composition."

"Since I have already conceptualized it before, writing it down is very fast."

"..."

"How amazing!"

Gan Yanyu couldn’t help but exclaim.

"How many such ideas do you have?"

"A hundred?" Lin Tian casually mentioned a modest number.

The girl’s pupils instantly widened.

That would be an enormous repertoire.

If Lin Tian were to compose all these ideas, wouldn’t he become the most formidable musician in contemporary times?

"Alright, alright, I’ll compose the piece tomorrow and call you over to record it."

Speaking of which, the musical instruments from the advertising company were also arriving tomorrow.

Thinking this, Lin Tian said goodnight to Gan Yanyu and left.

...

...

Back at home, Lin Tian immediately went to the desk.

As soon as the computer was turned on, the system interface appeared.

[Producer Task Issued——]

[Task Goal: Compose a piece of music, release a video performing it as a duet, and attain 500,000 likes and [50000] ’nervous and excited’ reactions from the audience.]

[Task Deadline: 7 days]

[Task Reward: Physical Recovery Capsule*1]

[Physical Recovery Capsule: Brings the producer’s physical condition back to 2 hours ago]

Nervous and excited reactions?

Lin Tian felt uneasy seeing these requirements.

Even though this number was only half of the previous "happy" one.

But happiness is a very simple emotion, generally gained easily while scrolling through videos or listening to music.

However, it’s incredibly difficult to evoke nervous and excited emotions through music.

It’s not like watching a movie commentary.

Who would get suddenly nervous watching a video?

Can’t exactly play half the music and scare the audience with a ghost image, right?

That would probably lead to a ban after being reported.

Lin Tian thought for a while.

A piece that could evoke feelings of nervousness...

An excellent choice popped into his mind.

Quickly, he wrote down the name of the piece on his notebook—

Mozart’s "No. 40 Symphony."

This piece is more widely recognized from a song from his previous life called "Don’t Want to Grow Up."
