Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist

"So handsome."

Watching the entrance ceremony, Lin Tian felt that the "National Contest" was rightfully impressive.

Not only did it have an extraordinary vibe, but the budget seemed explosive too.

Even the orchestra playing accompaniment on site was top-notch.

To put it simply,

it's because there are more young audiences now, the competition's popularity has risen, and there are more sponsors.

This is why the budget could be so extravagant.

Thinking about it, this revision of the music competition actually has its advantages...

Lin Tian was still marveling.

Suddenly, he noticed Gan Yanyu was unusually quiet.

Turning his head, he saw that Gan Yanyu had already shrunk back into a corner, furiously scribbling on her thighs—almost as if sparks were flying!

"Relax, it's just the preliminaries."

Lin Tian quickly came to Gan Yanyu's side, wrapping her underarms to lift her up.

The young girl turned her head, her tear-filled eyes closely staring at Lin Tian, looking as if she was about to burst into tears.

"Don't cry...it's not that scary!"

"No....."

Gan Yanyu tried to wipe her tears, saying,

"I'm excited....."

Gan Yanyu looked at the big screen, then back at Lin Tian in front of her, murmuring:

"This is really the Dragon Violin Cup! I'm not dreaming....."

"Idiot."

Lin Tian patted Gan Yanyu's head, laughing helplessly.

"After all, we're representing Qingjiang in the battle, can't you have a bit of ambition? Show the spirit of Qingjiang's number one cellist!"

"I...I'm not good yet, I'm just lucky....."

"You're out of your mind, aren't you, Gan Yanyu."

Lin Tian patted Gan Yanyu's head once again.

This time, it seemed he was too heavy-handed, as the young girl directly covered her head in grievance.

"At this point, even if you're not confident, you need to self-hypnotize confidence!" Lin Tian said.

Actually, you can't blame her.

At the Dragon Violin Cup, where the average age is about 26-30,

18-year-old Gan Yanyu is like a rookie, it's only normal to be overly excited coming to this place.

Perhaps calculating from 18 to 30 doesn't reveal a gap.

If you say 18-year-olds against 6-year-olds, a 6-year-old entering would cry.

Looking at it this way, it seems reasonable.

"Remember, Mr. Gan, this is just the preliminary." Lin Tian reminded Gan Yanyu again,

"We just need to keep steady, play steadily, advance steadily, without any accidents."

This Dragon Violin Cup.

In total, 101 players from 34 provincial administrative districts are participating.

In the first preliminary contest, more than half of the players will be directly eliminated, with 48 advancing.

The second round, the semi-finals, only 11 can advance.

Finally, 11 players will participate in the finals, deciding the annual champion.

Lin Tian tentatively calls the Dragon Violin Cup's champion the "Dragon King!"

However, this number...why does Lin Tian feel like it's similar to Produce 101?

The biggest difference is,

those 100 people in talent shows are trainees from various agencies, who haven't officially debuted yet.

But the 101 contestants at the Dragon Violin Cup are top cellists from across the country.

Except for a few specially invited, most of them, like Gan Yanyu in their hometowns,

have fought their way up from the grassroots leagues.

No one should be underestimated.

Though they are provincial champions,

champions are also ranked in varying degrees.

For instance, Qingjiang Province and three other provinces are customarily known as the four musical powerhouses of Tian Chao within the circle.

The intensity of their competitions is unmatched by other provinces.

Just like putting Bai Xi in any other place,

it's highly likely she would dominate directly.

So,

this preliminary isn't Lin Tian being "overconfident" or "arrogant."

There's simply no reason to fail to advance.

101 people, advancing 48, as long as Gan Yanyu doesn't take the cello bow as a firewood stick on the way out, there shouldn't be any issues.

Therefore, the purpose of this contest is quite simple.

Ensure one's stability first, study the opponents, have a basic understanding of the contest situation, and understand each major judge's preferences for types of pieces.

Even though it's clear this contest prioritizes pop music, understanding how big of a score difference different song choices can lead to, under the same level of performance, is very important.

Similarly,

other top contestants this time are thinking the same.

The preliminary is just a formality.

The key is understanding the contest situation.

"Welcome music-loving friends to the highest hall of cello events, the biennial Dragon Violin Cup! -- I'm commentator Zhu Ye."

"I'm commentator Fengye."

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Tian was taken aback.

He quickly looked towards the screen.

At this time, the bottom right corner of the screen switched to a side screen.

On the side screen, two commentators in suits wearing headsets.

There's commentary?

Lin Tian was shocked.

Is this what an internationally aligned competition is? They even have commentators!

Although in previous participations like the Star Cup, there was a host who would give a brief summary after each performance.

However, seeing such straightforward commentary appearing, directly explaining the ongoing competition, it's Lin Tian's first encounter.

He always thought, in serious places like music competitions, even if to cater to young people, such commentary was unlikely.,

Then,

Lin Tian carefully observed the scene again.

He found that the commentary's voice is inaudible to the live audience; they can only hear the host's voice.

It's only on the official live stream of the Dragon Violin Cup that the commentary can be heard.

This is clever on the official's part.

It maintains the seriousness of the live competition,

while also allowing online spectators to enjoy certain fun, providing an explanation for those unfamiliar with music.

Even if later, officials may need to cut ties due to unexpected commentary slip-ups.

"....."

This is good, this is good!

Lin Tian likes this kind of commentary.

Previously participating in the Star Cup, Yingqin Cup, what were those wild competitions?!

With this commentary, probably Lin Tian can save himself a lot of effort in understanding the contestants.

Lin Tian opened the live stream on his phone.

"This year's Dragon Violin Cup indeed is full of hidden talents!" Facing the camera, Zhu Ye said with a smile.

"Yes, the teacher I personally like, Zang Jingyu, who entered the finals two years ago, didn't even participate in the Dragon Violin Cup this year!"

"Heavens, it's too unfortunate for her! I still remember her performance of 'Rumi's Rhapsody.'

"Moreover, this time, we can even see on stage the 'King of Pop Music,' Maozi teacher participating in the competition."

"Yes, yes, I saw that too. Honestly, when I heard this news, I doubted if it was a namesake!"

The two commentators harmonized and warmed the scene.

The comments followed very cooperatively.

Lin Tian really felt like he was watching an e-sports match.

Without lingering too long.

With the scene transition, returning to the stage.

The host formally announced:

"Please welcome our first contestant, Nannali!"
