Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist

Sure, here is the translation of the provided text:

A cellist switching from the pop music circle?

Lin Tian pondered for a moment...

Gotta admit, it's indeed intriguing.

In fact, in today's pop music circle, there are indeed outstanding music producers. These musicians are renowned in the industry for their exceptional composition and arrangement skills, and many excellent music works are truly worthy of being called cultural treasures.

However,

Most producers in the pop music circle are known outside the circle for their shoddy, assembly-line music production, and their reputation doesn't match that of professional composers in people's eyes.

Actually, it's like,

Comparing traditional novels with online novels.

Because the latter follows a commercial route, creators inevitably add elements to please the market, unable to purely serve literature. Some even write just to make quick money, lacking literary quality altogether.

There's a joke that goes like this—

If Yu Hua had to serialize 6000 words a day, he probably wouldn't have written "Living."

However, this doesn't mean there are no outstanding works in online novels.

There is still a significant number of authors who, while catering to the web novel market, manage to create works with certain literary merits.

It's just that, given that there are still 90% low-quality works, public recognition remains low.

No one would call a web novel author a "writer."

Just like no one would worship an original pop music singer as a "composer."

But comparing the online literature community with the music industry is still giving too much credit to web novels.

In today's era where traffic is king, the status of the contemporary pop music industry is still quite high.

It can't even be compared to the music circle.

Just in terms of traffic, it's already untouchable.

So,

Yao Han's description probably isn't an exaggeration.

A producer who can represent the pop music circle... is it?

"What's his name?"

Lin Tian asked.

"His real name is Mao Weiang, but he's more famously known by his stage name in the industry—Maozi."

"Maozi??"

As soon as this name came up,

Lin Tian automatically imagined a robust, iron-willed tough guy with a resemblance to a warrior from Eastern European countries!

"It's normal for you not to know him, Mr. Lin Tian, but this person holds an unimaginable status in the Chinese music industry. Just looking at singers who became famous because of his compositions include 'Liu Emperor', 'Lin Emperor', 'Emperor Chen', and so on."

Yao Han continued to speak with his usual cautious manner.

However, even if their real names were mentioned, Lin Tian probably wouldn't recognize them, as he genuinely doesn't pay attention to celebrities in this world.

To say the least.

The mere fact that this person could become a hit as a "producer" already speaks volumes about his value.

In the Chinese music industry, people generally only focus on singers, and the composers/lyricists known to fans are often of extremely high caliber.

Like Fang Wenshan.

To be honest, that's the only famous lyricist Lin Tian knows.

For "Maozi" to be famous as a composer... one can imagine, he's probably quite a formidable figure.

And Yao Han's remark "the opponent is the entire pop music world."

Lin Tian felt slightly embarrassed.

That statement might be a bit exaggerated, but it probably isn't far from the truth.

Such a legendary pop music composer, supported by a rather large group behind him.

Numerous fans, singers in the music industry, and industry workers will undoubtedly be his strong backing.

What he represents is the pop music of Tian Chao!

"..."

Yet Lin Tian still couldn't quite understand one thing.

Regarding this "Maozi" personally.

Why would such a person, ignore a promising career?

Why would you switch to a career as a cellist and get involved in this mess?

The only reason Lin Tian could think of was dreams.

Other than chasing dreams, in what situation would someone who already reigns over the Chinese music industry participate in a professional cello competition?

Dreams, huh...

Thinking of this.

He seemed to recall the previous topic.

Lin Tian's mood grew a bit heavy.

"Don't underestimate Maozi as just a producer, in reality, there are rumors his piano skills are very strong, and over the years, he has been training with the cello regularly."

"This time, participating in the Dragon Violin Cup is probably for fulfilling a dream as well."

"However, since he was invited to participate and hasn't performed publicly in an official competition yet, how his piano skills are remains an unknown."

"But just his understanding of pop music, his control over modern musical emotions... from these aspects, it's absolutely someone Mr. Lin Tian must take seriously."

Yao Han leisurely said.

With a furrowed brow.

As if he was the one competing, not Lin Tian.

"Thank you, Mr. Yao Han."

Lin Tian expressed his gratitude once more.

Yao Han's information was indeed valuable.

But Lin Tian didn't have much interest in listening anymore.

After speaking, he headed to the door once again.

Thinking this should be the final farewell.

Unexpectedly, just a few meters after turning, just as he was about to grab the doorknob—

He was halted by Yao Han again:

"Wait a moment."

Yao Han stood up from his chair and approached Lin Tian,

"Don't rush, Mr. Lin Tian."

Yao Han held a freshly poured glass of red wine, gently swirling it,

"There's something even more interesting that I haven't told you yet."

More interesting?

Lin Tian was taken aback.

Not to mention the adjective "interesting."
