"Are you Teacher Moonlight? I've heard so much about you. I've listened to every single one of your pieces!"
A Japanese pianist said enthusiastically.
"I never thought I'd get to meet you here! I've wanted to get to know you for a long time!"
Another Korean spoke in English.
In an instant, four or five Asian-looking pianists had gathered in front of Lin Tian.
They crowded around Lin Tian, all competing to speak.
The sudden enthusiasm left Lin Tian a little overwhelmed.
Were pianists all this prone to being social butterflies?
He nodded at them one by one and smiled in acknowledgment.
"Yes, that's me."
"Thank you."
"..."
The scene was so eye-catching that even musicians in the hall who did not know Moonlight could not help turning their eyes toward him out of curiosity.
The comments in the livestream also grew increasingly heated.
"Ah? So he really is that famous?"
"Is he really that amazing?"
"Seems like only musicians from East Asia have heard of him?"
"Really? I even saw Seiya Nagashima go over there. He's one of my favorite pianists! Even he knows this 'Lin Tian'?"
If the back-to-back events earlier had merely drawn viewers from different countries in to watch the spectacle,
then seeing so many musicians recognize this "Lin Tian" completely ignited everyone's curiosity.
In a corner Lin Tian knew nothing about,
within an hour,
Who is Lin Tian
had quietly climbed into YouTube's top ten trending searches.
Meanwhile, before Lin Tian could have much interaction with the pianists who had approached him,
at that moment,
on the banquet hall stage,
a voice interrupted everyone's conversations.
"Distinguished guests, dear contestants, and friends from the media, welcome to the welcome banquet hosted by the Sakibo International Piano Competition!"
