Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist

At the moment Mao Weiang's name appeared.

The sound of the live audience clearly became restless.

The barrage in the live broadcast room instantly increased twofold.

[Maozi teacher, ahhhhh!!]

[Wuwuwu, who understands! Watched Dragon Violin Cup for so long just for Maozi teacher!]

[Really love the songs he wrote, been listening for many years, didn't expect to see him on stage one day!]

[Quick, quick, quick, Maozi teacher! My Maozi teacher!]

[...]

As a small-statured man, looking only about 1.6 meters tall, walked onto the stage, humbly nodding to the cheering audience.

The sound from the audience became even more intense.

"You can see, Maozi teacher's popularity is really extraordinary! The atmosphere here is heating up." Zhu Ye laughed.

"Yeah, after all, he holds the title of 'King of Pop Music,' I grew up listening to the songs he wrote." Fengye said.

"Hey, what kind of songs by Maozi teacher do you usually like to listen to?" Zhu Ye asked curiously.

At such a moment, bringing up a topic like this can really stir the audience's emotions.

"Of course, 'Fuji Mountain,' 'A Hundred Years,' 'Mai Tai,' no one from Tian Chao hasn't heard these songs, right?"

"Hahaha, seems like you're a fan of King Chen?"

"Yes, but even as a fan, I have to admit, without Maozi teacher's composition and arrangement, Mr. Chen couldn't have become the King!"

Zhu Ye said, "What about you?"

"Actually, I like some of his less popular works."

"Tell us?"

"I particularly like 'Imperial Concubine's Drunkenness' and 'Qingming River Painting' that he wrote for Li Gang. He used this song to directly shoot a master of opera vocals to fame....."

The two commentators discussed Maozi's works word by word.

The fever in the live broadcast room also reached an unprecedented peak at this time.

[Yes, yes, yes! I also started liking Maozi teacher because of liking Mr. Chen!]

[Hasn't anyone heard of 'Sling' that he wrote for Cai Cai? I'm a true fan of that song!]

[I get it!! Also that song 'Love You'... Maozi teacher's sweet little love songs always hit me right!]

[Weren't we here to watch a cello competition? Turns out you're all secretly listening to the Chinese Music Industry?]

[They've long since merged.]

At this moment,

Inside the lounge.

Looking at the barrage across the screen, Lin Tian finally got it, the weight behind the 'King of Pop Music' title that He Zhichen mentioned.

Really fierce.

On first glance, he's got all types of works, can write sweet love songs for sweet girls, tough songs for men, and even songs with traditional elements like 'Imperial Concubine's Drunkenness'.

Truly covering all kinds of pop music!

Could this person be suffering from a split personality?

Even many in the live broadcast room were not very familiar.

Only when they saw the commentators chatting, and other barrages discussing.

Did they suddenly realize [Damn, he wrote this one too??] [Huh? Huh? I didn't even know!]

Looking through it this way.

You could say, some might not recognize Maozi teacher.

But, it's unlikely there are people who haven't heard Maozi teacher's songs.

Just like the commentators themselves said, — there shouldn't be any Tian Chao people who haven't heard.

"Have you heard his songs?"

Lin Tian curiously turned his head and asked Gan Yanyu.

"No."

Gan Yanyu shook her head.

Oh, here we find a rare one in fifty thousand.

"I didn't have the chance to listen." Gan Yanyu explained, "No computer at home, hardly used a phone before, only had a radio."

"True."

Lin Tian remembered the scene he saw the first time he went to Gan Yanyu's house.

Ancient furniture, even the TV was the old blocky kind.

There was a radio, but the cabinets were full of classical music tapes.

So, when Gan Yanyu said "haven't heard," she likely really hasn't.

Though, given Gan Yanyu's personality,

She might not necessarily enjoy listening to that type of music.

"Though I haven't heard it... I feel, it might not compare to the song you sang to me on the plane last time, Lin Tian....."

"It's not much different, really..."

Lin Tian rubbed Gan Yanyu's head, and she stared blankly at Lin Tian.

Soon,

As Maozi took the stage, the lights focused.

Lin Tian clearly saw the person's appearance.

.... So small.

Estimated height not reaching 1.7 meters, frame also quite petite — not to say under 1.7 meters is bad, some people lack height but have the presence to make up for it with fashion and charisma.

But Maozi was the type, he gave an overall impression of being unwell, lacking energy, like someone who'd been on a month-long shoot before coming on stage.

This only made him seem even smaller.

Nowhere near matching the nickname "Maozi."

Maozi sat on the chair, hauling up that cello nearly his size.

Facing the passionately atmospheric audience.

Maozi didn't have much of a reaction, just politely smiled and modestly responded to everyone.

He then raised the bow.....

Suddenly,

The bow crashed heavily onto the strings, erupting like a bass roar from an underground bar!

This sound instantly made all the audience's bodies shiver.

Immediately afterward,

It's a lively and passionate rhythm!

After the music starts,

Maozi seems like a completely different person, gently tapping the body of the cello intertwining with the vibrations of the strings, like thousands of electronic butterflies crashing into the neon light curtain.

"Wow... I'm getting goosebumps!"

Fengye immediately covered his head and exclaimed,

"This sounds too good!"

There was no time to react.

Starting from frame zero!

Right from the start, there's a chorus.

It gave Fengye's head a fierce stimulation.

Just like hearing an amazing pop song by chance.

An unexpected melody and song, at that moment, made the entire scalp feel refreshed.

Scientifically speaking,

This phenomenon is known as "skin orgasm," related to the secretion of dopamine in the brain, especially unexpected harmonies and continuous descending chords can easily trigger this reaction.

Only pop music, focused on listener's auditory experience, can achieve this level.

"The name of the piece is——'Electricity and Sheep Intestine Strings Sonnet'....."

Zhu Ye's pupils also trembled slightly,

"It's written so well!"

At this moment,

even Lin Tian in the lounge, upon hearing this melody, couldn't help but feel relaxed and joyful.

It's good!

Really good!

Not too many fancy descriptions, and difficult to express why it's good with words.

In short, when this melody comes out, it easily makes people feel delighted!

Is this... the charm of pop music?

There are many types of music, big categories, small categories, each is different.

But classical music and pop music are the two most different extremes!

When pop music comes out, it often requires little thought, and can easily immerse in the emotions—whether sad or happy.

Because, it is meant for the auditory enjoyment of the audience, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Classical music is completely different. Its emotions often require a certain degree of understanding and taste to be felt.

In other words, listening to music is about feeling emotional feedback.

Classical music requires some mental effort and sufficient focus; if not "attentive," it's hard to experience the joy within.

One can easily find joy.

The other has a high threshold.

The difference is clear.

At this moment,

Maozi's performance of his self-composed 'Electricity and Sheep Intestine Strings Sonnet' brings the advantages of pop music to the utmost!

No need for much meaning and pretense, using the purest and simplest combination of notes to create the melody everyone loves to hear...

No!

Lin Tian was really conservative!

Is there really meaning in this music?

Isn't it purely showing off skills?

Both in composition and cello playing.

This is far more extreme than any previous pop music performance!

.....

In the brightly lit concert hall.

Maozi was in the center of the stage, playing with deep emotion, the beautiful melody echoing throughout the hall.

His music, like a virus, exudes an irresistible charm, continuously spreading among the audience.

Every audience member who hears this melody shows a look of enjoyment, completely immersed.

"Enjoyment... so enjoyable."

Fengye couldn't help but remark,

"Not only that, Maozi's cello skills are also very strong...not losing to any cellist present today!"

"It seems Maozi has really worked hard to pursue his dreams."

"....."

Everyone knows, Maozi nowadays, already has unmatched influence in the Chinese Music Industry.

Having supported many music stars, he himself is now dubbed the "King of Pop Music," and very few music producers are put in the spotlight and enjoy such worship.

Even though he is already so accomplished, he still personally takes up the cello and participates in the Dragon Violin Cup.....

This dream, no matter inside or outside the circle, anyone who sees it would say—"Respect!"

And Maozi's exquisite cello performance also tells the world clearly.

He doesn't need such respect... he will use his ability to win this stage!

....

In the melody of 'Electricity and Sheep Intestine Strings Sonnet.'

The judges in the front row were also nodding repeatedly, showing eyes of approval.

Clearly, this is a work that can attract a vast young audience.

In conjunction with the promotion of the Dragon Violin Cup, it will surely create many sensational works.

"Ah~ after hearing this piece of pop music, today's competition is already mostly complete." Fengye stretched and commented straightforwardly.

"Why isn't it completely complete?"

"As a commentator, can't say things too perfectly!"

"Hahaha...."

In the mutual humorous banter, Zhu Ye took a glance at the next contestants list.

A familiar name appeared—

Gan Yanyu... "Blue Danube."

Classical music?
