Chapter 330: The Truth from 20 Years Ago_2
When fully immersed, tasting it with heart.
The emotions felt... are incredibly precious.
...
"The tide of changes in the competition system came so overwhelmingly."
Yao Han sighed and remarked with emotion.
His gaze seemed to return to many years ago.
That year, Yao Han was only in his teens, yet he had already been playing piano for many years.
And under the influence of his brother Yao Xing, he constantly paid attention to the upheavals happening in the music world.
He saw with his own eyes.
Countless older generation musicians met their downfall in this overwhelming tide of the era.
Many people, once they fell, never stood up again.
In his daze, Yao Han's vision gradually filled with a group of figures...
"How could there not be musicians who resisted in such changes?"
He glanced at Lin Tian.
After pondering for several seconds, he still spoke:
"20 years ago, there was a group of classical musicians in Tian Chao trying to reverse the trend by performing classical music, but they were ultimately submerged in the wave of popular culture."
"....."
Lin Tian was taken aback and looked at Yao Han.
"The reason for their failure wasn't just the judges' prejudice but also the irreversibility of the overall societal aesthetic trend."
"Fighting against the entire era is very ridiculous."
"Mr. Lin Tian."
Yao Han gazed into Lin Tian's eyes.
There was an indescribable sharpness in his gaze, as if determining or warning something.
——Fighting against the entire era is very ridiculous.
Such words.
Seemed to be speaking of that group of classical musicians from 20 years ago.
At the same time, it was also a caution to Lin Tian.
"..."
Yao Han almost spelled it out.
"Change your repertoire, Mr. Lin Tian."
Yao Han said,
"20 years have passed, and now the structure of world music has stabilized."
"What that group of lunatics failed to accomplish, you can't either."
"Mr. Lin Tian, I really admire you, and I hope you can reach the Ker Cup."
Speaking of this.
The always playful Yao Han spoke with unprecedented seriousness,
"Your composition skills, in my mind, are absolutely world-class. Creating modern music shouldn't be difficult for you, right? 'One Step Away' is a good example."
"If you're holding onto classical music because of Elder Gan's granddaughter, that cellist, then I believe there's no need at all....."
"..."
"Elder Gan... was one of those people from 20 years ago?"
As if hearing something from his words, Lin Tian looked up and hesitantly asked.
Yao Han looked at him and nodded.
So that's how it is.....
Lin Tian slightly nodded and reclined back in his chair.
Upon hearing this.
All the clues from before connected.
Sir Gan, back then, was indeed one of the lunatics resisting the current of the era mentioned by Yao Han.
And the base of those lunatics.....
If Lin Tian guessed correctly, it was probably Tuoba Jianhui's orchestra.
Under the influence of Tuoba Jianhui and Gan Hua, along with a group of outstanding classical musicians.
That legendary orchestra that was once very popular in Tian Chao.
When the wave of changes from the World International Music Association swept globally and reached Tian Chao.
They demonstrated a staunch commitment to classical music.
After the competition system reached Tian Chao, they still continued to perform classical music worldwide and endeavored to nurture more young classical musicians.
While other orchestras, organizations, and major music universities began to embrace the new system.
Tuoba Jianhui and Gan Hua kept creating and seeking new paths, lecturing and performing worldwide, trying to resist this trend of the times with their influence.
And that gifted musician "Yao Xing."
Might have been the young talent Tuoba Jianhui wanted to cultivate at all costs during that period.
The older generation is bound to fade away.
In the future, decades from now, perhaps classical music will have completely disappeared from the mainstream music scene.
At least, there are young musicians able to carry on the legacy.
It's just that Yao Xing eventually became a detonated grenade.
The "genius" raised at great risk, who screwed up everything in one performance.
Along with the fiasco of the concert, the future that Tuoba Jianhui and Gan Hua had high hopes for was shattered.
...
The final outcome.
Lin Tian understood.
Nothing changed.
In the torrent of the era, a group of "talented classical musicians" was merely trying to stop a chariot with their arms, instantly crushed.
In the end,
For some unknown reason, or simply due to Yao Xing's concert, everyone completely lost hope.
All the older members of the orchestra left, scattering in different directions.
Gan Hua, alone, embarked on the journey to the Ker Cup.
In the end,
In the Ker Cup finals, Gan Hua, sabotaged and losing the competition, forever abandoned his cello.
The story ends here.
...
Lin Tian remained silent for a long time.
Reflecting on his interactions with Gan Yanyu and his engagement with Tuoba Jianhui.
Gan Yanyu possibly represents the hope Gan Hua has placed on the next generation.
This genius with unprecedented talent in performance.
Revived the hope in Gan Hua, who had already withdrawn from the music world for 16 years, pouring all his efforts into Gan Yanyu.
Yet ironically, it's Tuoba Jianhui, who never left the music world, who cannot accept this.
So many years have passed, Tuoba Jianhui has long let go of his obsessions from back then, content to be a university professor, and the orchestra he leads is far from being the inspiring team of the past.
