On the final stage of the Star Cup.
In the back row of the audience seats, a magical moment is unfolding right now.
A handsome young man, with a serious expression, stands on the back seats, continuously waving a support light stick in his hands.
He’s performing the type of support dance that only appears at Tokyo idol concerts!
It’s hypnotic and brainwashing.
All the nearby audience members are stunned.
Everyone’s here to cheer for Gan Yanyu, why are you so energetic?!!
Watching Lin Tian’s hands move in slow motion, dancing skillfully.
In the audience seats, many people are no longer watching the match, craning their necks to look this way, and a chorus of "damn" erupts.
"Awesome! This is a true fan!"
"Such deep love, I’m ashamed!"
"What kind of social terrorist is this? I thought I was brave holding up a light sign, but here’s someone dancing a support dance?!"
"I must have walked into the wrong set... This is supposed to be a Cello Concerto competition, right?!"
Meanwhile, in the lounge.
As the director cuts the camera to the audience, everyone who sees this scene is also baffled.
"Is this... is this the guy who was with Gan Yanyu earlier? Aren’t they friends?"
"Wow... so wild! Are there really fans this fierce??"
"Holy cow, not to mention, he dances well, truly envious of Gan Yanyu for having such an enthusiastic fan!"
Gan Yanyu watches Lin Tian dancing in front of her.
She’s momentarily stunned.
What... what is he doing?
Embarrassingly lowering her head, Gan Yanyu can’t help herself.
Her lips curl into a slight smile.
Almost bursting into laughter.
Lin Tian, is this your "plan"?
Pretending to be a little fan of mine, dancing a support dance below?
You might as well have beaten up those fans...
Gan Yanyu suppresses the laughter in her heart.
Adjusts her mindset, and lifts her gaze again.
—Focus on what you should be looking at.
—Everyone else, just treat them like they’re nothing.
That’s what Lin Tian said.
What should I look at?
Look at the piano, or look at you?
Gan Yanyu doesn’t know.
But what she does know now is.
During her long musical career, she has never felt the "like" from the audience seats...
Now, it’s overflowing!!
As Gan Yanyu’s bow draws across the strings.
the music, at this moment, is elevated!
Deep emotions, intense feelings.
A totally immersive, uniquely Gan Yanyu-style performance, begins!
Immediately, someone in the lounge exclaims,
"What kind of impact is this?!"
This exquisite technique makes every note full of delicate emotional nuances!
The melody sometimes soars, venting the soul’s deep sadness;
Sometimes it is somber, like a heavy sigh, speaking of the bitterness and hardships of life’s journey.
"So strong... just in a moment’s time...."
"No wonder, they all say you have to see Gan Yanyu’s music with your own eyes to understand it..."
"Can an 18-year-old girl really exhibit such emotional tension?"
The "E minor Cello Concerto" itself is a piece characterized by emotional fluctuations; it demands substantial emotional expression to be perfectly rendered.
If Bai Xi’s playing of pop music is a feast for the ears, providing the audience with the ultimate auditory pleasure,
Then Gan Yanyu’s classical music is now the ultimate expression of emotion, bringing everyone into her musical world to hear her outcry!
As the conversation continued, the entire lounge had already become silent.
Everyone was immersed in the music, profoundly shaken.
On Bai Xi’s face, there also appeared a relieved expression.
Yes, Gan Yanyu, this is you.
No one understands better than you how classical music should be played...
And seen in the audience, Lin Tian who was dancing the supportive dance.
Bai Xi sighed deeply in her heart,
"Little fan of Teacher Gan Yanyu"... huh?
Teacher Lin Tian, is this how you express your love?
No wonder you were completely indifferent to my performance.
I really have no chance at all, haha.
As Gan Yanyu kept playing non-stop.
Lin Tian’s support dance also showed no signs of stopping.
Between the two, a long stretch of auditorium, like a great river.
Gan Yanyu on the other side, Lin Tian on this end.
Even so, Lin Tian seriously and earnestly continued to transmit his energy to Gan Yanyu.
Didn’t you say that fans in the audience only bring you pressure?
Worried that they appear to cheer for you but actually wait to laugh at your mishaps?
Cannot feel genuine affection? Feel like no one is truly cheering for you?
I am here supporting and cheering for you.
Forget everyone else, just look at me.
No one... has more genuine passion than I do!!
As the performance reached its climax,
The atmosphere in the venue was also pushed to a peak.
Everyone listened with utter seriousness, immersed in the music... immersed in the romanticism that was uniquely Gan Yanyu.
Two security guards, though late, finally pushed through the door behind the auditorium, swearing as they hurried toward Lin Tian.
As the music was drawing to a close,
Lin Tian knew it was time.
He put down his glow stick, surrendering.
With Lin Tian being sternly reprimanded, the young girl’s performance also officially ended.
In the venue, long-lasting applause erupted.
Along with numerous cheers and whistles from fans holding light signs.
All performers gathered together, discussing animatedly.
In some ways, this performance was even more discussed than Bai Xi’s.
"A new piece, to be played to such extent!"
"Terrifying... Just when you think Teacher Bai Xi was despairing enough, there’s also an 18-year-old monster!"
"I even feel that Teacher Gan Yanyu’s performance is not inferior to Teacher Bai Xi at all!"
"The media was right, this year’s Yingqin Cup truly is a gathering of deities! Not to mention several masters who didn’t participate in the Star Cup... It seems like for this year’s professional group, we can only play supporting roles..."
"No worries, having so many tough people in this Yingqin Cup, attending the same event as them is also beneficial for us."
Amidst this buzz of conversation, Bai Xi already shouldered her cello, pushed open the door, and left.
Recalling the recent performance, her mood was still uncontrollably delighted.
What about... support dances and such...
That kind of thing was too outrageous!
Teacher Lin Tian, Teacher Gan Yanyu... see you again at the Yingqin Cup~
