Before long,
the topic of renowned composer Tong Tai reviewing Moonlight's "Cello Concerto in E minor"
shot up the Weibo trending charts!
While countless netizens were still discussing Moonlight and Cat's new piece on Douyin, Bilibili, and in all kinds of group chats,
they heard that a "big shot" had given it a professional review on Weibo,
and flooded onto Weibo!
That overwhelming wave of traffic swiftly descended upon Tong Tai's account.
As more and more outsiders entered the circle,
for a time,
aside from "Cello Concerto in E minor"—
searches for "Who is Tong Tai?" and "What are Tong Tai's representative works?" also skyrocketed.
When everyone discovered that this elderly gentleman named Tong Tai really was a highly respected composer,
an unprecedented sense of exhilaration swept through every Moonlight fan.
Since Moonlight and Cat had risen to fame,
this was the first industry big shot
to publicly praise them on a public platform!
Before this, no matter how popular Moonlight and Cat became or how many fans they had, without any official endorsement, everyone only knew they were incredible but had nothing prestigious to back it up.
This was the first time
they had received recognition from a major figure in the music world!
It felt like a small streamer you had always followed suddenly got invited to compete professionally one day—and even won the world championship.
They'd made it!
Especially after searching for "Tong Tai."
That long list of Baidu Encyclopedia entries, award-winning works, and historic honors—
as they read, their smiles kept creeping upward.
It was as though this old gentleman being amazing meant Moonlight was amazing.
And if Moonlight was amazing, then that meant they were amazing!
The feeling was beyond satisfying.
Haters, say something!! From now on, let's see who still dares call Moonlight's songs
