CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 309: WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO OUTSHINE BY DRESSING SO BEAUTIFULLY?

The choice made by Lin Tian was the result of careful consideration.

In fact, he had two options for arranging the two new compositions.

One was to create and release the music before the concert.

The popularity of the two new pieces, coupled with the ongoing concert promotion, would have a great promotional effect, letting more people know about their classical concert.

This would greatly help the concert’s attendance rate.

However, this approach had a significant drawback.

That is, if they are released beforehand, the impact of playing them at the concert would be greatly diminished, which is not conducive to completing the task.

Thus, Lin Tian simply asked for He Zhichen’s opinion.

After all, it was his first time organizing a concert, and he wasn’t sure if new pieces could be performed at the concert.

After receiving a positive response.

He decided to treat the two new compositions as surprises, as rewards for the fans who bought tickets to attend.

In fact,

quite a few celebrities sing experimental new songs at their concerts, like Zhou Jielun has done before.

This approach is more about testing the new songs through live audience reactions, so that they can modify the tracks later.

The final released version is often different from the live version.

But Lin Tian clearly doesn’t have this need.

His works are complete when written, and any changes are only based on the instruments.

So this time!

This time is truly a jackpot for the fans!

...

And as it turns out,

Lin Tian’s intentions weren’t in vain.

After Le Yun’s official Weibo announcement, the feedback from netizens was promptly received!

[New compositions? And two at that??]

[Great, great, great, I was wondering why Mr. Moonlight hadn’t released anything for half a month! Didn’t expect this surprise!]

[Wow, those attending the concert will get to hear them first!]

[I was hesitating whether to go, but now I have to...]

[A new piece by Moonlight and Cat, how could it not be worth much more than a few hundred bucks for the ticket?!]

After some online buzz.

.....

Weekend.

He Zhichen called.

On the phone, He Zhichen took a deep breath and solemnly announced to Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu:

"As of midnight last night, ticket sales have reached 82%."

"Mr. Lin Tian, Mr. Gan Yanyu."

He Zhichen paused and calmly said,

"Now, we have no more worries."

"We can proceed confidently with the performance!"

"...."

In his living room, with the phone on speaker, Lin Tian turned his head to look at Gan Yanyu on the sofa.

Before Lin Tian could respond.

Gan Yanyu jumped up from the sofa.

"...."

The girl raised her hands above her head and rushed towards Lin Tian.

"Great, Lin Tian!"

"We did it!"

"..."

Gan Yanyu’s smile was clean and pure, devoid of any blemish.

In her eyes, little stars seemed to be shining, bringing her one step closer to the planet of dreams.

"Okay, I got it."

Lin Tian hung up the phone, then looked at Gan Yanyu and smiled contentedly.

Indeed.

Given that the attendance rate had reached 80%,

the biggest concern of whether the concert could be successfully held was resolved.

To put it bluntly,

even if Lin Tian’s performance turned into a mess, at least people had already been drawn in.

There would be no loss either way.

However, for the good reputation of "Moonlight and Cat,"

they certainly couldn’t perform poorly.

The remaining task,

was to ensure that the people coming to watch the concert were satisfied.

"We have one week left, Mr. Gan, let’s work hard!"

"Hmm... ahem—"

Gan Yanyu nodded slightly, then quickly turned her face away, coughed twice covering her mouth.

"What’s wrong?"

Lin Tian keenly noticed the situation and immediately asked.

"It’s nothing."

Gan Yanyu turned back around, smiled,

"My throat has been a bit inflamed lately."

"Been secretly rewarding yourself, huh?"

Lin Tian said with a hint of annoyance,

"You can’t indulge in sweets every day; too much sugar and artificial additives can irritate your throat."

"Alright..."

Gan Yanyu put her hands behind her back, blushed slightly at Lin Tian’s parental questioning, and smiled shyly,

"I’ll be careful."

...

April 15th.

Rehearsal day.

This is a very important day; all the on-site arrangements and setups were completed, waiting for the stars of the concert to run through the process.

Today, all the guests also had to be present to go through it with Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.

"....."

As a local of Qingzhou, it was Lin Tian’s first time at Qingjiang Cultural Center.

Upon entering the venue, Lin Tian was intimidated by the massive scale of the place.

Tens of thousands of seats, arranged in tiers, stretched row after row into the distance.

In slightly dim lighting, it was impossible to see to the end at once.

Lin Tian climbed onto the stage, gazing out from there.

The sense of oppression was overwhelming.

Lin Tian spread his arms, feeling as if he might at any moment be swallowed by the darkness ahead.

"....."

"Lin Tian."

Lin Tian looked down, Gan Yanyu was sitting in the front row, holding up her phone,

"Say cheese—"

"Click!"

Looking at the photo on her phone, Gan Yanyu showed a satisfied smile.

"Lin Tian, you’re starting to look like a world-class musician now~"

"Only a little?"
