Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 85 - 80: Earning My First Pot of Gold (Three More) (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Chapter 85: Chapter 80: Earning My First Pot of Gold (Three More) (Seeking Monthly Pass)

"First off, these two, they never show their faces in their videos, and what’s more, they both use pseudonyms.

It’s simple reasoning: who would use such fake names for composing and playing music? Obviously, this indicates that ’Moonlight’ and ’Cat’ could represent symbols, not actual people. You switch the person behind them and none of you would be the wiser.

Such practices, you ordinary folks might not be aware, but to us insiders, there are too many playing the game like this on the platforms!

Next, let’s talk about their playing abilities.

Moonlight’s piano skills are about average professional level, but Cat’s cello... well, according to a cellist friend, that would rank T1 even here in our country!

High school students?

Even more impressive is their compositions.

’Ode to Love’, ’Kangkang Dance’, and that what’s-it-called... ’G Minor Pathétique Symphony’!

You guys don’t actually believe that anyone could just write pieces like these offhandedly, do you?!

Three pieces in one month!

High school students?!

There’s no way these two don’t have a team behind them!

It’s a simple concept: ’Cat’ is paid for their services, while Moonlight is just an actor, ’Moonlight’ represents a company’s team of composers.

Then they concoct this image of ’two pure high school students making music together’ to attract fans.

Having found such a niche,

I’ve got to say, this team is seriously formidable!

Whether it be finding ’Cat’ such an outstanding cellist, or hiring this team of composers, it’s not something a run-of-the-mill group could achieve!

And the hints of their lifestyle displayed in the videos, that’s not something ordinary people can just act out..."

"..."

Lin Tian was dumbfounded.

Damn, what he’s saying makes so much sense!

If it weren’t for the fact that the person involved is myself, who comes with my own song library, I might have actually believed it.

Then, the fatty dropped another "bombshell".

"Many of you may not have noticed, but in every Moonlight and Cat video description, there’s always a note ’equipment provided by SYC’."

"For those outsiders who don’t know what SYC is, you could look it up. It’s one of the top music agencies in the country! You surely can’t think that two high school students would have the connections or capability to catch the eye of SYC, right?"

"Of course, if you want to say that Moonlight and Cat are just amateurs, they don’t have a company! All their songs and videos are self-produced, both are once-in-a-century geniuses! Fine, then they’re awesome! If that’s really the case, I’ll bow down immediately, apologize, delete the video and ask to become their disciple!!"

At the end of the video.

The fatty added one more thing:

"In the end, the reason why you folks don’t get it, is because you have no idea how freaking amazing Moonlight’s so-called ’self-composed’ songs are.

So, if there’s anyone around Qingzhou, you can go to Qingtian Music Hall next Wednesday. There’s a concert happening there.

The concert will feature two young performers, a cellist and a pianist, and they reported they’ll be playing these three pieces by Moonlight and Cat. You all could go see for yourself.

See how professional musicians play these songs, and then check out how the live music media critiques it! Then you’ll understand the true value of the compositions."

"..."

After watching, Lin Tian’s first reaction was—

I’m screwed.

Now he finally understood why a search for the music concert video turned up this one.

So you’re actually promoting it, huh!

This video isn’t exactly low on heat either.

120,000 likes.

The view count must be around a million conservatively.

And in the comment section, there were indeed inquiries about how to purchase tickets for the Qingzhou music concert...

By the time it happens, it might really attract a significant amount of attention.

He had thought that since the concert was on a Wednesday, there would be fewer audience members. But with this kind of promotion...

Gan Yanyu’s pressure is going to be even greater.

Moreover, when Lin Tian was previously at Xingye Music Academy, he did promote it a bit... At the time, Lin Tian did not realize that Gan Yanyu would have such a strong reaction afterwards.

Now, with one thing leading to another.

Lin Tian had a premonition that next week’s concert attendance might be higher than expected...

Maybe a bit?

...

..."

Sunday, just three days away from the concert.

Early this morning, Lin Tian specially invited Gan Yanyu to his home.

Today is the day to settle the advertising revenue!

Both of them lay on the couch, waiting for news from Lettian Music Store.

In seven days, the final numbers for the video were:

960,000 likes, 33.49 million views.

The very high like-to-view ratio wasn’t as sensational as the viral "Kangkang Dance" on Douyin, but these numbers are definitely blockbuster-level.

And it’s hard to say, with this many views, how many people would actually buy the cellist starter kit priced at over ten thousand.

But none of these are Lin Tian’s concern.

"Ding-dong!"

As the phone notification sounded.

Lin Tian immediately opened the text message, while Gan Yanyu leaned over to look.

"[Zhonghua Agricultural Bank] Lettian Music Store Ltd. completed a transfer of 100470.85 into your account ending in 4396 on X month X day 10:21."

While counting the digits one by one... and after counting out a full six digits.

Lin Tian sucked in a breath of cold air.

"100,000."

Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu, trying to suppress the excitement in his voice,

"Yanyu, we’ve struck it rich."

"Mhm."

Gan Yanyu nodded.

"This is all our hard work."

"Thank you for your hard work." The girl smiled sweetly.

"From now on, we won’t ever have to worry about what to eat."

"Yeah."

"..."

Finally, Lin Tian couldn’t hold back, clenched his fists, and swung his arms fiercely in the air.

So exhilarating!!

Just one month ago, Lin Tian was still working for an hourly wage of 30, worried about the rent he was two months behind on and the upcoming college tuition.

Now, he’s a high school student with a legitimate six-figure savings account.

In the future, he won’t have to fret over money for his daily life.

Strictly speaking, excluding the ten thousand given by the system last time, this hundred thousand is their first bucket of gold.

From making contact with the advertisers, to discussing profit shares, testing the products...

Every step was completed through the hard work of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu themselves!

"That’s wonderful."

Seeing Lin Tian so happy, Gan Yanyu also smiled brilliantly.

"Let’s go, let’s eat out."

Lin Tian called for Gan Yanyu to get up.

It was a rare Sunday, and they had just secured their first pot of gold; it would be unreasonable not to celebrate with a feast.

"Ah... the concert is in just two days, we have a whole day’s time, shouldn’t we practice?"

Gan Yanyu looked worried.

"Balance work with leisure."

Lin Tian didn’t want to keep the pressure on Gan Yanyu so high every day.

It’s like the last evening self-study session before the college entrance examination when many head teachers would tell the students to go home and rest.

"Okay... then I’ll go back and change clothes first." Gan Yanyu stood up.

"What do you want to eat? With that hundred thousand, minus the small change, we still have 470 to reward ourselves! Hot pot? Seafood? Steak?"

Lin Tian listed them one by one, he had never had such a luxury meal with Gan Yanyu before!

"Mmm..."

Gan Yanyu pursed her lips, pondering for a moment.

Then, with hands clasped together, she smiled and said,

"I want to eat pudding."
