When pianists hear this name, without exception, they all feel a bit perplexed.
An original composition?
Just like Nishikawa Yuubei, this musician from Tian Chao, Lin Tian, also likes to perform his own original pieces in competitions.
However, before the competition.
Too many rumors swirled around "Lin Tian."
This meant that, in this competition, the vast majority of participants recognized this person.
Therefore, for a while, many participants dared not jump to conclusions about this "colleague."
Less than half a year.
Completely different styles, more than 10 musical works.
He created a sales miracle in Tian Chao.
With such chaotic information online, the pianists were naturally the same—some believed, some doubted, and many were curious and waiting to see how things would unfold.
But without exception.
Now, everyone must temporarily accept "this is his work" and enjoy the performance.
So, upon hearing the name of this piece...
In another resting room, Nishikawa Yuubei immediately looked up.
"(He’s aiming at you!)"
A friend beside him patted Nishikawa Yuubei’s shoulder and said with a smile.
Nishikawa Yuubei had just performed "Dawn Night Lament" and became the focus of everyone’s attention not long ago, and now another rhapsody was being performed so soon!
And it’s also an original composition!
At this moment, the resting room erupted into noise.
The pieces were predetermined early on, so it was unlikely to be a targeted thing.
But such a "coincidence" made it hard not to compare the two.
"(Lin Tian is in a tough spot... Why did he have to clash with Teacher Nishikawa!)"
"(Could it be that he’s trying to stir trouble? Knowing that Teacher Nishikawa might perform his newly released single in the competition, so he purposely)"
In everyone’s eyes, this "Lin Tian" succeeded.
He really managed to get all the participants’ attention. Regardless of other aspects, from this standpoint, his choice of piece was already successful.
But getting attention is one thing...
While his friend next to him snickered, Nishikawa Yuubei frowned tightly, staring intently at the big screen.
In the midst of silence.
Lin Tian stepped onto the stage.
Feeling the gaze from all directions—judges, audience, media reporters.
Lin Tian was well aware of what they were thinking.
Actually, Lin Tian is not a dull person.
— A person who has been striving to support himself since his teenage years, always desperately wanting to stand out through hard work.
It’s unlikely that there’s much moral burden left in his mind.
For a long time, Lin Tian has been a person with strong utilitarian motives.
Going for a foot bath was to find someone to bind with the system.
Transporting music, releasing music, was to complete system tasks, to earn more money.
So, even though he knew what he has always been doing is fraud.
He gave himself an ID—FAKER.
Even if this lie could never be exposed.
As long as he regarded them as tools, as bridges to realize his dreams... his sense of morality would naturally fade away.
But as Lin Tian, along with Gan Yanyu, won one stage after another.
As Lin Tian slowly began to enjoy the satisfaction that the stage brought him.
As this trip to Tokyo began.
International internet public opinion, real-life crises encountered.
It was like walking the path Gan Yanyu had once walked alone.
Lin Tian has never felt so deeply that the music dream Gan Yanyu spoke of is so burdensome...
Can no longer continue to treat "transporting works" with a calm heart.
"If moving these works,
is only to satisfy oneself, and achieve fame and success...
Then, they are right.
I don’t deserve these works at all.
I’m nothing but a thorough fraud. A loser who achieves nothing without memories of a past life.
Lin Tian takes a deep breath.
Finally, his gaze finds that figure.
Not difficult to find.
Mr. Gan is always so dazzling, her cuteness captivating, even amidst a sea of people, Lin Tian always spots her immediately.
The young girl noticed Lin Tian’s gaze and immediately raised her shaking small hand, her eyes curved, smiling exceptionally sweetly.
The politics teacher taught us.
Rights and responsibilities are relative.
Gan Yanyu’s dream of ’letting the whole world hear her classical music.’
This includes not just Gan Yanyu’s self-satisfaction.
A more important part, actually, Lin Tian hasn’t learned yet.
——Let the whole world feel the charm of classical music.
For Gan Yanyu, this is even more joyful than everyone liking her performance.
During the earlier times.
Lin Tian has already learned from Mr. Gan how to enjoy the stage.
What Lin Tian learned is—
To let audiences around the world feel the charm of music from another world!
Those doubts, criticisms, all of it, no longer matter!
Being called a fraud doesn’t matter, saying his performance skills don’t match up to the music... also doesn’t matter!
Just these few minutes.
Lin Tian will complete the meaning of his performance!
Lin Tian sits down at the piano.
And strikes the first key.
A more lyrical prelude.
Begins to echo throughout the Tokyo International Music Hall...
It is filled with a sense of mystery, carrying a meditative and melancholic atmosphere.
"(That’s skillful, not as bad as what people say on YouTube.)"
In the quiet rest room, a person speaks.
Everyone present is a pianist, nearly all can directly hear it.
Professional level, definitely there.
Saying he’s just an actor, indeed, is too much.
However, this is not the key point.
As the prelude transitions to the development section.
The piano gradually becomes thicker, featuring more rapid runs, leaps, and chords.
The melody unfolds gradually, emotions intensifying.
Inside the room, pianists frown slightly.
That former melancholic mood seems... to have turned into anger?
One person’s face gradually relaxes,
"(This piece, seems pretty interesting....)"
Before this person could finish that sentence.
Intense, strong, furious music, comes rushing like fierce waters!
Lin Tian’s fingertips dance on the piano, burning with flames of anger.
Successions of allegro and presto, the ultimate fortissimo (ff)
Many octave scales, fast arpeggios, and complex chords!
After reaching maximum harmonic tension, everything, in an instant, is unleashed.
Yao Han slams the table, shouting out loud.
