Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 54 - 53 Kangkang’s Dance Enters Life

"I think this one is pretty good."

Lin Tian analyzed, "Compared to when we’re in the middle of shooting a video and have to recite lines for someone else’s product, this kind of soft advertisement won’t affect the quality of our video."

In fact, Lin Tian said this in consideration of Gan Yanyu.

He knew that she, with her stubborn pursuit of music, definitely didn’t want her work to be mixed with too many unrelated things.

Actually, it’s also about catching up with good times.

If this were in the past, before the rise of short videos,

content creators would typically just put a message at the beginning of a video: This video is sponsored by XXX.

If there was a promotion in the middle of the video content, it would be easy to be disliked by the audience.

Now it’s different; advertisements in videos have blossomed into something more creative.

Various zero-frame starts, catching you off guard, video bloggers are able to, at a moment you would never expect, suddenly change the topic and introduce a product.

If it were just commentary bloggers, that would be one thing, but even those who play out situational dramas do this.

It’s like a real-life "The Truman Show."

But from another perspective,

it’s precisely because of the increasingly mature advertising integration in short videos that the short video industry is thriving, allowing countless people to make a living as video bloggers.

So, regarding this advertisement thing, there’s no need to be so resistant.

"How about it?"

Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu, mainly to seek her opinion.

Gan Yanyu poked her little mouth thoughtfully,

"So, they ship us the instruments, and then we use their instruments to play?"

"In theory, yes."

"Using their instruments..." Gan Yanyu murmured.

"What’s wrong? Are you only used to playing your own cello?"

Lin Tian suddenly remembered that indeed, there were artists who had such a persona setup.

For example, swordsmen who could only accept using their own swords, calligraphers who could only use their own brushes...

Just hearing about such people, one feels they must be incredibly intimidating!

"No— I’m wondering if they will only ship the violin after we confirm that we’ll take the advertisement."

"Definitely." Lin Tian said.

Most Western musical instruments, in Lin Tian’s view, were considered semi-luxury goods.

Just the freight for these items is frighteningly expensive. Advertising for luxury goods is never that simple.

"What if their violin is not good to use? Since we’re going to promote their instruments, we definitely need to check first if their violins are good, right?"

Gan Yanyu said with a worried face,

"Instruments are a hassle to move. After they ship them over, if we find the quality of the violin is not good, we definitely won’t be able to take this advertisement..."

"..."

That’s so reasonable!

It was something so obvious, yet Lin Tian had not thought about it just moments ago.

As one of the victims of the internet, his subconscious instinctively considered not the quality issue, but how much the ad would pay...

In front of Gan Yanyu, Lin Tian truly felt ashamed.

"I’ll ask about that first then."

"Mhm." Gan Yanyu leaned in close and seriously instructed, "You must ask clearly, okay?"

"Alright."

Lin Tian sent a message and soon began negotiations with [Lettian Music Store].

"..."

Surprisingly smooth.

When Lin Tian proposed to first check the quality of the violin before deciding whether to take it or not, the other party agreed readily.

Lettian Music Store, too, is a somewhat sizable chain store domestically.

Lin Tian specifically mentioned that he had high demands for violins, saying that checking the instrument would definitely not be just going through the motions.

Even so, the other party still indicated that in a couple of days, staff from their Anqing City chain store would deliver the violin to their door. If they decided not to take the offer later, it wouldn’t matter, and no delivery fee would be charged.

Can you only say this is expected of a luxury goods seller?

Indeed impressive.

Lin Tian showed the chat log to Gan Yanyu.

After looking it over, a delighted expression quickly spread across the girl’s face:

"Great, there’s no problem then~"

"Yeah, I’ve already spoken to them, now we just wait for them to deliver the piano."

"Okay."

Even if the piano isn’t great, they could simply switch to another advertisement deal; the initiative lies with "Moonlight and Cat."

Anyhow, their next video is bound to earn something!

It’s getting late; it’s about time for Gan Yanyu to head home.

As she was getting ready to leave,

Just when she reached the door, it seemed like Gan Yanyu suddenly remembered something.

She turned her head and said to Lin Tian:

"Oh right—"

"Mr. Gao mentioned that if we’re free this weekend, we should visit him; he said he wants to assess the results of our ensemble practice."

"Assess the results?"

Lin Tian understood, this was a bit like a mini-exam.

Gao Zhenyang himself is one of the music committee members, his evaluation of their duet performance was obviously very important.

If Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s duet couldn’t even pass Gao Zhenyang’s scrutiny, they could forget about performing in any concert.

"Okay."

"....."

Gan Yanyu fiddled with the door at Lin Tian’s house and, looking into the boy’s eyes with some nervousness, said:

"We... shouldn’t have any problems, right?"

"No problem." Lin Tian gave her a thumbs up, declaring earnestly, "Partner, believe in the bond between us!"

"Bam!"

Before Lin Tian could finish, the girl, her face flushed, closed the door and left.

...

...

An ordinary Friday.

Today is when high school students are at their most active, with the weekend around the corner, everyone’s class participation is also notably more enthusiastic than usual.

Qingzhou Seventh Middle School’s management has always been relatively relaxed; before the "hundred-day sprint" for college entrance exams begins, the senior students still get to enjoy a full weekend.

Only those who have been through senior year understand the preciousness of weekends!

For example, just two streets away from Qingzhou Seventh High School, Qingzhou Eighteenth Middle School had already introduced a half-day system for their senior students—school dismissed at noon, with evening self-study starting at seven o’clock.

During the break between classes.

The noise was incessant.

Lin Tian, who had been resting his head on the desk, lifted it up, only to see a bunch of girls on the corridor of the neighboring lab building, dancing a very familiar dance in front of camera phones.

"Yong."

Lin Tian pointed his finger toward the opposite side, "What are those people doing?"

"Filming for Douyin."

True to his reputation as the Douyin king, Xu Yong just glanced over and the veteran driver immediately made his judgment,

"Oh, that dance seems to be really popular on Douyin these days, I think it’s called... the Kangkang dance?"

"...."

No wonder the movements looked familiar.

Lin Tian hadn’t expected this dance to penetrate into his life so quickly.

The dance that Gan Yanyu refused to perform was now being picked up by female high school students in the same school.

No, he had to go back and get Gan Yanyu to learn it.

With such hot trends, how could the original creator not get involved?

"This dance is pretty pointless; it doesn’t have the ’milk shaking’ or the ’hip twisting’, nothing appealing to watch, just looks all silly and awkward."

When it came to this topic, Xu Yong’s face showed a bit of irritation,

"Got popular for no reason; I didn’t even watch the original video, I bet the person who created the BGM is just riding on someone’s coattails..."
