"I was dragged here by Mr. Bai Xi."
Two tables were put together, forming a large table.
Everyone sat around the table.
The four contestants from the Yingqin Cup semifinals were all gathered here.
Four cellos were placed against one side of the wall.
He Zhichen went to make coffee for several people.
And at the table, everyone began the formal discussion.
"So, because of Mr. Gan Yanyu’s health, we need to accompany her, share the pressure of her performance, so we can carry on with the concert?"
Bai Xi summarized the previous discussion.
Lin Tian nodded and said,
"For this concert, we need to prepare around 15 pieces."
"What I envisioned is that, as special guest performers, you can prepare one piece together for your debut appearance."
"After the debut, you will take turns performing ensemble pieces with us, in a relay format. Two rounds of performance."
"This way, Mr. Gan can easily complete six pieces, rest for one piece, plus the Japanese band I invited will also perform one piece independently and do an ensemble piece with us...."
"What Japanese band?"
Yun Qiuxiu raised her hand, interrupting Lin Tian out of curiosity.
"Cosmic Flying Pig," Lin Tian said.
Yun Qiuxiu’s eyes widened in rare excitement.
"You know them?" Nannali asked.
"Of course, the very popular rock band from Tokyo recently, their lead singer Hoshino Kanami started as a voice actress, has voiced many popular anime characters, and since becoming a singer, she has been a focal point in the ACG cultural circle."
Yun Qiuxiu began introducing enthusiastically; her ability to express increased noticeably when it involved anime-related knowledge.
"They have a song called ’Super Sweet Missile’....."
Yun Qiuxiu looked slightly proud,
The people were momentarily silenced.
It’s understandable that they didn’t know how to respond after such a song’s name popped up in front of professional musicians at the table.
Then, Lin Tian continued with the previous topic and said:
"That way, Mr. Gan can perform seven pieces under low pressure, and then have two pieces’ worth of rest time."
"With our intermission, Mr. Gan can get more than half an hour of adequate rest."
Listening to Lin Tian’s arrangements.
Everyone was surprised.
Unexpectedly, to allow Gan Yanyu to rest, the young man in front of them could calculate to such a precise and detailed extent.
"Thanks to you three, for allowing me to arrange this way."
Lin Tian didn’t forget to express his gratitude again.
In fact, because of the three additional cellists,
Lin Tian’s arrangements became more fluent.
He could fully redistribute all of Gan Yanyu’s pressure through a series of permutations and combinations.
However, this also involved two issues.
One is whether those in the ensemble can keep up with the intensity of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s performance.
The other is whether such arrangements will cause any dissatisfaction among the audience.
Actually, the first problem is easy to solve.
Lin Tian was confident in the three’s abilities.
There shouldn’t be any cases of not being able to keep up.
The second issue is more troublesome.
Some fans with certain obsessions will specifically want to see the duo of "Moonlight and Cat" in concert.
Adding one more person to the main performance might make them inexplicably uncomfortable with a trio ensemble.
Therefore, Lin Tian didn’t dare to arrange too much.
The maximum was two rounds per person.
So, calculating it this way,
"The remaining six pieces or so will have to be performed by you alone, Mr. Gan."
Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu,
Even though the previous pieces would have another cellist to share the pressure with Gan Yanyu,
In reality, Gan Yanyu would still complete the performance on stage.
It just means it’s lighter, not pressure-free.
It’s like Gan Yanyu still has to perform from start to finish, while in these six pieces, she has to bear several times the pressure of the previous ones.
Anything could happen...
Lin Tian couldn’t bear to imagine what would happen on stage if something were to change...
But, Lin Tian had done all he could do.
The girls would also do their utmost to help.
Gan Yanyu said resolutely,
Seeing Gan Yanyu’s determination,
Lin Tian finally didn’t say anything more.
At this point, excessive concern holds no value.
It’s better to shift the topic to other equally important things.
"Hey, what are your plans for the concert?" Bai Xi asked.
"Plans?" Lin Tian was startled.
"Like, what about the opening performance, interactive segment... how do you plan to appear, what opening remarks to greet the audience with..."
"Oh, still considering these, planning to decide during rehearsals."
"Get serious, Mr. Lin Tian."
Bai Xi said seriously,
"This is the biggest classical music concert ever and could be written into the music history books! You must give the audience a lifelong unforgettable experience, right?"
On this topic, even Nannali’s eyes could hardly contain her excitement,
"I think you could do a fashion show."
"Wear the most beautiful dresses, and walk back and forth on the stage a couple of times....."
