Meeting in person, both Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were a bit surprised.
Because this guy looked even thinner than he did on the big screen.
Skin and bones, sallow complexion, sunken eyes.
In his thirties, but looks like someone in their forties.
When he was on stage before, it was obviously with make-up, but now in real life, he looks even more startling.
Gan Yanyu standing in front of him seemed tall.
However, despite looking extremely frail, his gaze was very spirited.
Although it feels a bit rude to think so.
But this guy really gives Lin Tian an old-but-still-strong vibe.
"Please sit down, both of you."
Mao Weiang invited them to the sofa, and a lady, who seemed to be playing the role of a manager, made tea for them.
"Thank you so much for honoring me with your presence today..."
Mao Weiang’s face straightforwardly showed happiness, he truly seemed delighted.
His voice, softer than Lin Tian had imagined, like a polite gentleman; although not loud, it gave a very pleasant feeling.
If you aren’t careful, he might give the impression of being completely harmless.
Just like his performance.
Radiating a charm that makes people want to keep listening.
The man before him is reputed as the King of Pop Music, said to have claimed half the empire of several pop kings.
When online controversies emerged, half the stars in the entertainment industry cheered him on Weibo.
This guy’s power is significant.
How could he be simple?
Regarding Mao Weiang’s invitation, Lin Tian always maintained a degree of caution, after all, their online disputes were quite fierce, and now meeting in person seemed oddly calm.
Lin Tian was speculating on Mao Weiang’s intentions when Mao opened up after sipping his tea,
"These past days of online turmoil, Mr. Lin Tian, Mr. Gan Yanyu, you have seen it, right?"
"If I say I haven’t seen it, you wouldn’t believe it, would you?"
Seeing Mao Weiang bring it up himself, Lin Tian immediately prepared himself.
This guy really came for this matter.
These days, their Weibo must have been smashed by their fan base, right?
This arrogant king, asking Lin Tian over, is it to settle scores...
"Here, I want to apologize to you both!"
As Mao Weiang spoke, he stood up and bowed to both of them.
"Apologize?" Gan Yanyu was taken aback.
"Yes, getting two teachers who wholeheartedly create music involved in this kind of controversy must have caused you lots of trouble... after all, it was my fans who started it."
"Indeed," Lin Tian said.
"Our circle is just like that... in the entertainment industry, no matter how harsh the terms used to describe it don’t matter, even I have suffered from such situations before."
Mao Weiang sighed and said,
"It’s just that I didn’t expect this time they’d drag the two of you down... You who have always been seriously making music, even getting tainted by the atmosphere of the entertainment industry, that’s my fault..."
He understood Mao Weiang’s words.
He could understand the apology.
But this guy, he seems to think too well of himself and Gan Yanyu.....
The biggest fan circle in the music world,
is Moonlight and Cat themselves.
Lin Tian felt a bit embarrassed.
It seems like Mao Weiang has some filter over him and Gan Yanyu.
"No worries, you probably haven’t been feeling great these past days either, have you?"
He never thought that just as the topic was about to unfold, Mao Weiang started apologizing.
If Mao Weiang apologized for past matters, the public controversy these days should be seen as making amends.
Upon hearing this, Mao Weiang sighed heavily,
"Right, being scolded never feels good."
"No, my discomfort wasn’t because I was being scolded. That doesn’t matter to me."
"What bothered me was even after the competition ended, the turmoil didn’t settle, and those who love music kept quarreling."
This time, Gan Yanyu seemed a bit stunned.
This sentence seemed to have hit a chord in her heart.
"Though saying this might sound like I’m defending my fans... those netizens speaking up on Weibo, some of them do so because they genuinely love pop music, leading them to post such hostile comments."
"Just like those these days attacking me and my friends, I understand they too want to defend their beloved classical music, hence taking action."
Mao Weiang raised his head and looked at Lin Tian,
"Mr. Lin Tian, don’t you find this quite sad?"
"Clearly those who love music, yet quarreling endlessly because of two different music genres." Discover more novels at novel✦fire.net
"I think you should also mention this to the Dragon Violin Cup committee." Lin Tian said.
He could understand Mao Weiang’s thoughts.
But at the same time, Lin Tian felt that the reason for such a massive discrepancy was mainly because of the different treatment in the Dragon Violin Cup rules.
"Yes, indeed before the semi-finals, I had already submitted my thoughts to the committee, hoping for a fairer judging process."
Did you really speak up??
Lin Tian was stunned.
"Unfortunately, the committee didn’t accept my opinion."
Mao Weiang sighed once again.
This person is unexpectedly quite honest.....
"So, your reason for meeting us today....."
"I hope to stop these online disputes, to let those who love music stand together again."
Mao Weiang raised his head and said,
"It’s not wrong to like classical music, nor is it wrong to like pop music; what’s wrong is the rules, the atmosphere in the music industry!"
"If both teachers agree with my viewpoint, I venture to ask you, to collaborate on a music piece, and together express it to the people!"
