Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 206 - 173: Moonlight and Cat Take the Lead, The Ensemble Begins

Chapter 206: Chapter 173: Moonlight and Cat Take the Lead, The Ensemble Begins

"Mr. Moonlight...I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble before!"

At the entrance of the café.

The last person to appear in the music video had arrived.

Almost as soon as he walked in and saw the group of people who had finished their makeup and were ready to go on camera, Zhang Dong immediately recognized Lin Tian.

The most handsome one, without a doubt!

Zhang Dong immediately performed a textbook Li Dakang-style trot, excitedly approached, and shook Lin Tian’s hand, uttering those words.

Then, he continued emotionally,

"Last time I really didn’t see what was in front of me... I’m actually a fan of yours, I should have been able to recognize your voice that day, but unfortunately, you were wearing a mask, and your voice was muffled when you spoke..."

On his way here, Zhang Dong had a bellyful of words he held in, thinking about how he should properly express his apology when he met the person himself, to avoid any awkwardness during today’s shoot.

Unexpectedly, while Zhang Dong was vividly explaining himself, Lin Tian didn’t seem to care at all.

He only patted his shoulder and smiled,

"It’s alright, just focus on the shooting. We need your violin." Lin Tian deliberately emphasized the words "we need you."

Zhang Dong was suddenly so touched that he was a bit lost for words.

In his heart, he had some concerns. He worried whether Mr. Moonlight’s statement on Bilibili was just for show and that in reality, he might have been harboring some ill intentions, calling him over for the shoot just to mess with him.

After all, Zhang Dong was from the live streaming circle and, from the perspective of creating a program effect, based on the usual way things worked in his circle, this scenario was highly possible!

But when Zhang Dong shook hands with Moonlight and felt the warmth and confidence emanating from him.

He was convinced.

Mr. Moonlight would not, and would not stoop to doing such a thing.

"Don’t worry! Mr. Moonlight, I definitely won’t let you down!!"

"Click—Click—"

The behind-the-scenes photographer captured this moment.

The "Uncle Dong street performance incident" that had been a sensation on Bilibili would be thoroughly resolved with the release of this handshake photo.

...

Soon, the director came out and briefed Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu on the upcoming shooting plan.

The first thing they had to shoot was the "live performance version," which was a special bonus version.

It was important to show that "the two really danced together in this piece" and not just "for the MV effect."

Everyone knew what the fans wanted to see—it was all about, "Ah, Mr. Moonlight is so handsome," "Ah, Miss Cat is so beautiful." This feeling of authenticity struck a chord with core fans.

But you couldn’t slack off on the performance just because it was a special bonus version.

On the contrary.

"We plan to include this version of content as an extra item in the CD release,"

He Zhichen said.

That was quite a clever play, something only a talent agency could concoct, harvesting fans in a way even Lin Tian hadn’t anticipated.

Hence, it meant that they had to take the performance even more seriously.

So, how should they shoot it?

The director explained the general idea. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu would first sit down below, with everyone else, playing the role of accompanying musicians at a ball.

Then, they would shoot scenes of the two dancing, which would be edited together in post-production to create an effect where both are dancing and playing together.

The filming began promptly.

A few trainees who were to play in the ensemble took their seats; they would have the honor of playing with Moonlight and Cat, an experience countless fans could only dream of.

"Are you nervous...Lin Tian?"

Just then, Gan Yanyu poked Lin Tian’s wrist and asked softly.

She noticed that Lin Tian, who never gets stage fright, was actually trembling slightly.

That was very strange.

"No, I’m just... a bit excited."

Lin Tian rubbed his hands on his thighs.

Of course, he was nervous.

Soon, he was going to attempt to overpower Gan Yanyu.

It had always been Gan Yanyu who took the lead. It was rare for Lin Tian to seize control, so it was natural he felt a bit uneasy.

This was the best opportunity to try, different from their usual practice. Now, they were truly in the midst, in such a ballroom setting...

In such an atmosphere, Gan Yanyu’s performance must be at full throttle.

Lin Tian was worried that if he truly took over, he might be punched and sent flying by Gan Yanyu, or worse, be even more aggressively overpowered by her.

So, Lin Tian asked a question:

"Mr. Gan, do you think you are someone who is very proactive in relationships?"

"What kind of question is that?"

Gan Yanyu stared blankly at Lin Tian.

"Some people are completely different in life and in love. Someone who is dominant in life might be submissive in love, and vice versa; some might be submissive in life but dominant in love."

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Gan Yanyu curiously tilted her head, more concerned about the matter than Lin Tian’s question.

And to ask... at such a time?

However, since Lin Tian asked, Gan Yanyu still pondered seriously for a moment before saying,

"I think, to answer this question, I’d first need to experience what love is, wouldn’t I?"

"That’s true."

Lin Tian smiled.

For Gan Yanyu, such a question was obviously too far off the mark.

And comparing feelings to music might also not be suitable. Undoubtedly, Gan Yanyu was indeed very dominant in music.

"Let’s start—"

Following the director’s cue,

The violin played by Zhang Dong started off.

Soon, the elegantly dressed trainees also brought their instruments to life.

A red-haired girl’s violin, the accordions played by two boys, and a viola.

With the addition of these instruments, the current "Por una Cabeza" became even richer and more layered.

Although they had heard this piece countless times before, witnessing the string quartet (two violins, one viola, one cello) still felt incredibly impactful.

The soul of the tango music suddenly emerged.

"Not bad at all..."

He Zhichen muttered on the side.

Unexpectedly, this band, put together with some available trainees to serve as a background for the MV, turned out to be surprisingly effective.

Probably because they knew "they were going to perform with Moonlight and Cat," everyone was trying their hardest.

He Zhichen’s gaze shifted to the leading violin, Zhang Dong.

At that moment, he played the violin with utter focus, eyes closed, utterly immersed.

A top-ranked UP master, huh... indeed quite skilled!

Teacher Lin Tian’s remarks on the Bilibili dynamics didn’t just earn him a good reputation online but also gained a dedicated and excellent violin accompanist.

Truly a natural idol.

He Zhichen sighed inwardly.

When the variation arrived,

With the abrupt rise of Lin Tian’s piano and Gan Yanyu starting on the cello.

All the previous performances paled in comparison!
