Chapter 167: Chapter 136 - Cool Boy’s Good Foundation (Request for Monthly Ticket)
"Not losing...?"
Gan Yanyu opened her mouth in disbelief, murmuring.
"So that’s how it is."
Lin Tian also understood.
Before the competition, Lin Tian had actually discussed this issue with Gan Yanyu.
About whether classical music would be at a disadvantage in this contest.
At that time, the conclusion Gan Yanyu reached was:
At least domestically, this situation is rare, at least not in grassroots competitions like the Star Cup.
Unexpectedly,
The situation has changed this year.
Domestic musical public opinion has begun to follow the politically correct wind of the International Music Association.
This leads to a group of people, mainly "critics" such as music critics and magazine media, scoring according to the standards of the International Music Association to pursue political correctness.
And usually, professors from Music Academies and renowned composers, those with orthodox backgrounds, would score different types of music more objectively.
However, the number of people with the former background has reached 5 out of 12.
The impact of this is significant.
Clearly, Bai Xi’s innovative approach of adapting popular music with a cello has brightened eyes and is especially popular among young people, very much aligning with the aesthetic standards of the International Music Association.
This is like in the TGA annual game awards.
You designed a game where a petite male is blown away by an authentic fat black pig.
It eventually won the Game of the Year.
Because, the game could be titled:
"The Vegan and Pica-suffering Transgender Who Is Physiologically Male and Identifies as Female Never Meets the Max Beneficiary Sister of Aesthetically Diverse Individuals Identifying as Female."
It also includes elements of homosexuality, and bestiality, fully catering to the calls and responses of the Hui ethnicity and Animal Protection Association.
Winning the Game of the Year is reasonable.
It might sound ridiculous.
But for TGA, it’s normal.
...
The International Music Association may not be as exaggerated.
But under such a high buff, Bai Xi’s advantage is clearly magnified.
He Zhichen said:
"I compared the scoring by the ’international faction’ judges in 18 music competitions across the country over the past two months."
"At the same level, if one side plays classical music and the other modern music. The modern music player’s scores from international faction judges tend to be on average 13.46%~23.6% higher."
Then, He Zhichen started quickly operating the tablet,
"Let’s assume the score for a modern music player is M, and for a classical music player is G. The range for M’s score is 113.46~123.6. G needs to reach 100 points..."
"In the end, it calculates out."
He Zhichen showed the tablet to them and said,
"If Teacher Gan Yanyu wants to achieve the same score as Bai Xi, she needs to perform at a level 1.85% to 5.85% higher."
"Of course, since the number of international faction judges at each scene differs, this number, in reality, would be higher..."
Looking at the data on the tablet, Lin Tian felt a bit dizzy.
It’s not that complicated.
In essence, Gan Yanyu wants to match Bai Xi’s score, she must demonstrate a slightly higher level of performance!
"After the calculation, the fact proves, if excluding the 13.46%~23.6% bonus points, the scores of Bai Xi and Teacher Gan Yanyu in this Star Cup are almost identical."
"In other words, based on performance... it’s a tie!"
He Zhichen said.
"A tie...?"
Another statement that shocked everyone.
Gan Yanyu was completely stunned.
So...
her performance wasn’t inferior to Bai Xi’s?
She only lost in scoring, but in the cello competition... she didn’t lose.
Gan Yanyu was trying to digest all this information.
Then...
She buried her head into the table.
"Mr. Gan!!"
Lin Tian yelled in alarm, hurriedly supporting her.
"..."
Gan Yanyu lifted her head, a tearful radiant smile appeared on her sorrowful face.
"Wuu... That’s great, I didn’t lose..."
.....She obviously cared a lot.
Lin Tian couldn’t help but smile wryly.
She always said it didn’t matter, but perhaps her heart was more competitive than anyone else’s.
"The cello didn’t lose, but the competition was still lost, so we need to take it seriously," Lin Tian said.
Then, he turned to ask He Zhichen,
"How many ’international style’ judges are there in the Yingqin Cup?"
"That’s not clear yet, we have to wait for the official list to know."
After He Zhichen finished speaking, he changed the topic,
"However, since the Yingqin Cup is organized by the Zhonghua Music Association, the panel will be more professional, there should be fewer media and critics, and the evaluations on classical music will definitely be more fair."
With He Zhichen’s words, that was enough.
It was indeed a pity that the Star Cup was lost.
Gan Yanyu also lost her revival chance, with no other option left if she wanted to participate in the Dragon Violin Cup.
So, to participate in the Dragon Violin Cup...
Yingqin Cup must win the championship!
No other way!
...
...
Gan Yanyu’s challenge has ended.
And Lin Tian’s challenge was also coming soon.
Only two days left until the arts exam.
Lin Tian’s revision was also coming to an end.
The remaining time was mainly to adjust his mindset, eat and drink well, maintain good health, and relax.
And on this day, the long-silent system finally displayed the settlement interface.
["Sadness" Emotion Value: [513577/500000]]
[Task completed: Compose a piece of music, record a video performing it with a partner, achieve 2 million likes on any video platform, and attain [500000] "Sadness" Emotion Value from the audience]
[Reward: Makeup Skill (Master level)]
Stumbling through, the task was finally completed.
Even for a popular emotion like "Sadness", 500,000 Emotion Value was indeed challenging.
Unfortunately, the "E minor Cello Concerto" was barely understood by anyone in the first few days of its release, let alone feeling the emotions.
Even though it should have been well past the "15 days" deadline, the task was still completed.
Could it be that the deadline starts from the day the music was released?
Lin Tian pondered.
In that case, it seems possible to save up tasks and use them when there’s a suitable piece ready.
As a refreshing sensation flowed through his body.
When he opened his eyes again.
Lin Tian suddenly had a magical feeling.
Looking at everything at home...
He felt that his aesthetic capability... had improved.
He came in front of the mirror, the face he was never tired of looking at now gave him a different feeling...
So handsome!
No, how could he be this handsome?
The perfect proportion of face, the golden angle of the nose bridge, the signature eyes of a male lead only seen in comics...
If he debuted, he would definitely be an international male model!
No wonder Lin Tian always felt he was not confident enough, it turned out his aesthetic sense was lacking!
Only after improving aesthetics did he realize how good the base of being cool was.
He was too low-key before.
Looking this good, wouldn’t he be unbeatable with makeup?
Thinking this, Lin Tian immediately decided to experiment to see what master-level makeup was like.
In the arts exams for music students, appearance is a very important aspect.
Having a good base as cool boy has its advantages during exams.
He didn’t have any makeup products, so he called Gan Yanyu,
"Mr. Gan, do you have any makeup products? Can I borrow them?"
