Chapter 70: Chapter 68: An Extremely Difficult Ensemble (Three Updates) (Request for Monthly Votes)
In that instant, Lin Tian abruptly stood up from his chair.
He rushed forward and grabbed Gan Yanyu’s delicate wrist that was holding the bow.
The struggling girl, as soon as Lin Tian grabbed her, went limp and suddenly opened her eyes.
Then, she exhaled deeply.
Clutching her chest, she gasped for air.
Gan Yanyu looked at the young man beside her, her expression somewhat astonished:
"Lin...Lin Tian?"
"Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Lin Tian couldn’t help but curse,
"I told you to stop if you can’t handle it, it’s just a video, why so desperate?!"
Lin Tian really felt a bit heated.
Seeing Gan Yanyu always being so negligent with her own body, Lin Tian felt like punching her twice!
You say you had Jade Disease before, and occasional attacks were okay.
Now that you are normal, you still pull these high-difficulty stunts.
What, playing the cello so fiercely?
Are you trying to ascend to immortality?
Lin Tian now began to doubt, whether it was a problem to casually stop the Medicine.
"Sorry...sorry."
Gan Yanyu sat on the sofa, gingerly playing with her index finger.
After drinking two glasses of water in a row, the girl clutched her chest, took several deep breaths.
She barely stabilized her body.
"I caused you trouble..."
"Between partners, don’t say that."
Seeing that Gan Yanyu was not seriously harmed, Lin Tian slowly calmed his mood and seriously asked:
"Just now, what did it feel like?"
"It was painful, but...."
Gan Yanyu paused, lifted her eyes,
"This feeling, it’s great."
Completely immersed in the music, conversing with a lonely soul that transcended a century.
Feeling, that soul’s struggle, indignation, excitement...
For Gan Yanyu.
This feeling, really was truly intoxicating...
Even if, the process, might be a bit painful.
She was happy to immerse herself in such agony, to touch the soul of the piece.
"..."
What a masochist.
Lin Tian was dumbfounded.
Indeed, artists, they are all madmen.
He understood.
He’ll compose a classic Neon song for Gan Yanyu later.
Let her play the cello on the balcony while singing out loud "Oh wash the seaweed yo, wash the seaweed yo~~"
Give her a good pain, then she’ll be obedient.
Not to mention,
After all, Gan Yanyu still has a very serious condition, pieces with too high emotions, for her safety, should no longer be performed.
"I’ll write another piece." Lin Tian said.
"No!"
As soon as the words came out, Gan Yanyu immediately stood up.
"No! No! No! No!"
The girl panicked, clenching her little fists, standing in front of Lin Tian like a loop machine, pushing her body forward.
Gan Yanyu tried to use her firm gaze to show Lin Tian her determination, however, in Lin Tian’s eyes...
She turned into a little repeater again.
"You only saw this Symphony, so you feel it’s a pity, I’ll write another, you will like it just the same."
Lin Tian tried to patiently persuade.
However, Gan Yanyu simply wouldn’t listen.
"No, I must perform this Symphony!"
"Others, none will do!"
"Just now, I was so close, give me one more chance, I will definitely perform it well!"
Then, her tone softened:
"Lin Tian, please..."
Gan Yanyu clasped her hands together, her clear eyes filled with innocence and a touch of grievance.
She had so many things she wanted to tell Lin Tian, trying to explain to him why she absolutely had to perform this piece, how long it had been since she found such feelings in a piece of classical music....
But, when the words came to her lips, the girl found herself unable to speak them, only managing a halting expression.
"...."
What’s almost there?
Almost ascended?
Lin Tian felt somewhat helpless.
In fact, even if he let Gan Yanyu do as she pleased, there was still a very serious issue.
Lin Tian couldn’t keep up.
His piano skills were enough for 99% of situations.
But the performance just now was top 1% level.
Especially when Gan Yanyu really got into it, her cello was just rushing forward blindly, unstoppable like ten horses couldn’t pull her back, and she was already not on the same level as Lin Tian.
How could they play together then?
Lin Tian’s problem is, he’s not crazy, or rather, only half crazy, his mind was generally clear and normal.
He couldn’t reach that state.
Brain block.
Just a normal person, how could he keep up with Gan Yanyu?!
As an accompaniment.
Lin Tian could throw 100 lanterns to bring her back, but she wouldn’t pick them up.
Just now, Lin Tian could still pull strongly, physically pulling her back to the real world.
If she really became possessed, it would be like someone put a real eye on the lantern.
By then, it might be too late to pick them up.
...
As Lin Tian saw it, there were only two methods.
Either, let Gan Yanyu play this piece with a relatively calm mindset, not so immersed, letting her know that it’s just a piece of music.
Or, Lin Tian also becomes a madman.
Force himself to keep up with Gan Yanyu, even if he can’t keep up, he must!
The benefit of this is: it would result in a perfect performance.
The disadvantage is: someone might end up dead here after the performance.
Thinking it over, Lin Tian decided to take a middle ground approach.
He asked:
"Do you really want to perform?"
"Mm."
Gan Yanyu nodded obediently like a pecking chick.
"Then I have a condition."
Lin Tian held up his index finger, "When we make the video, we need to add some interactive elements."
"Interactive elements?"
"Yes."
Lin Tian explained, "I’ve researched it, for a video to be interesting, interactive elements are a must. Last time when we performed, just sitting there stiffly, there were no jokes or talking points."
"So, how do we interact?"
"It’s simple, while playing, you look at me, I look at you, occasionally making eye contact and facial expressions, letting the audience know, we are in sync!"
"Or simply, in the middle of performing, stand up and interact with me through some hand movements."
Lin Tian vividly described it.
Gan Yanyu listened, bewildered.
She had been performing for many years, but never thought about interacting during the middle of a performance.
But, since Lin Tian said it was a condition....
"Okay."
Gan Yanyu agreed.
"Alright, let’s get ready to start."
Lin Tian’s idea was simple.
Through these interactive actions during the performance with him, let Gan Yanyu not get too immersed in the world of music.
Let the girl understand.
In her world, there was still him.
While weakening her immersion a bit, Lin Tian would also forcibly push himself, trying his best to keep up with Gan Yanyu’s cello.
Adjusting the camera again.
This time, Lin Tian got Gan Yanyu a stool, placing it next to the piano where she could be within his reach.
"No. 40 Symphony in G minor," the third performance.
The last one, begins!
