Chapter 180 Bathroom, Accidental Meeting of Two Men (3/3 Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Yang Qian is not scheduled to perform on stage at the Greater Bay Area Art Performance on Sunday.
It's not because Yang Qian is too young.
For this performance, a certain agency also arranged for its own young boy band to come over. In terms of singing skills and creative ability, they couldn't compare to Yang Qian.
It’s not that Li Guangmin doesn’t want to support his apprentices.
The main reason is that this party was decided long ago, and it took nearly two months to arrange the program and rehearse it.
Two months ago, Yang Qian was still having a good time in Hecheng!
However, Yang Qian's songs have been arranged.
"Keep the Roots", tonight's performance will be sung by Jian Jinchuan from the Veterans Choir, Xiang Hongfeng, and several stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Teachers Ouyang Cheng and Zhu Dehui did not come. Although they could be regarded as original singers, their singing skills were too "simple" after all. They could still sing in a small performance in a small city. For such a big scene, let alone the organizer did not invite them.
Even if they were invited, they would not dare to come.
…
"Do you feel a little uncomfortable? Your songs are being sung by others?"
Although Yang Qian failed to step onto the stage, Li Guangmin still brought his apprentice to the final rehearsal site.
Not only will he watch the rehearsal, he will also take Yang Qian to the scene as a guest tonight to experience the charm of such a large-scale performance.
"I don't feel awkward at all! The style and singing method of the song "Keep the Roots" are not suitable for me. Listening to these teachers' performances below, I feel that I can gain a lot of experience. It is a very good learning experience.
Chance!"
Yang Qian smiled calmly to the old man.
Yang Qian was more or less regretful that he couldn't sing on stage.
The auditorium tonight can accommodate more than 5,000 people. Singing a song can earn you 500 training points.
Moreover, even if you don’t talk about training points, as a singer, Yang Qian is also eager to sing on such a big occasion!
This is still the first choice place for some second- and third-tier singers to hold concerts in Yangcheng!
Of course, this is just a small regret.
In order to increase his training value, Yang Qian had the opportunity to sing two songs at the army Spring Festival Gala a few weeks later, and the scene was even bigger at that time, with more than 5,000 officers and soldiers present.
And Yang Qian is not in a hurry to increase his training value. What he needs now is not more songs or more singing skills, but more time, more learning and accumulation.
He wanted to learn arranging from Li Guangmin, and he needed to understand the timbres and characteristics of various instruments.
He still needs to continue to polish his singing skills. Although Yang Qian seems to be singing pretty well now, in fact, he is still far away from being truly "good".
In the past few days of recording work, Yang Qian had seen up close the top-notch singing skills of more than twenty top singers from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland.
Whether it is Xiniya and Cai Huahong, who rarely appear on screen and whose singing skills have seriously deteriorated, or the old and strong Chai Jiang, Xie Fei, and Kong Qiang, you can hear their rich and perfect singing skills when they open their mouths!
Even though the voice is not as good as before, and the breath is not as full as before, the singing voice is still like a bottle of old wine, full of the breath of time, mellow and rich!
Even Su Rui, who Yang Qian finds difficult to get along with, is not too bad at singing. His decades-long experience is still there, and he can sing better than many famous young singers nowadays.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that many singers do not concentrate on singing, but rush to acting, and occasionally sing a few unintelligible songs to continue their identity as singers...
Su Rui was mentioned at this moment, and coincidentally, Li Guangmin also talked about him.
"It's good that you have such an idea! Don't be anxious about temporary gains and losses. You are still young and want to sing. There will be many opportunities in the future."
"The key is to balance your own mentality. Don't get carried away just because many celebrities are praising you these days. You must understand yourself correctly and never be satisfied with your current situation."
"Why? Because if you are satisfied with your current achievements, you will lose your pursuit of the future. This is the case with Su Rui..."
Li Guangmin didn't talk to his apprentice about Su Rui before, because he felt that Yang Qian handled the matter of Su Rui's coffee very well and there was no need for him to interfere more.
But today he and Yang Qian talked privately, and Li Guangmin wanted to use Su Rui as a negative example to warn his similarly young apprentice.
"After he became famous with his song, people all over the country invited him to perform. They invited him to the Spring Festival Gala for several years in a row. He wanted to be as popular as he wanted. In your current words, he was the top performer at that time.
!”
"But based on my understanding of him, his pursuit of music is no longer as simple as when I first met him. For him, music has just become a tool to gain more fame and fortune. Once the goal is achieved, he will have no
Let’s focus on music again.”
"You can look back at his previous performance videos. The last few songs he sang are exactly the same as the song he first became famous for. They all have the same style and singing routine."
"But the entertainment industry is a new generation and is constantly changing. It is impossible to say that one trick is popular all over the world! If you keep singing like this, the audience will get tired of it, and you are destined to be eliminated by the times!"
Li Guangmin saw it clearly, but he also knew that Su Rui was not like Chai Jiang in that he could listen to other people's suggestions and he also had the idea of continuous improvement. Therefore, Li Guangmin did not meddle in Su Rui's subsequent development.
After all, within a few years, Su Rui also left the record company that Li Guangmin had recommended him to and went to the capital. Even though Li Guangmin later moved to Beijing - this was the general trend, the contact between the two became less and less.
"Change requires courage, and you also need to endure the pain of change."
Yang Qian was not defending Su Rui, he was just expressing his feelings.
Yang Qian knew that it would be easy for him to change his style. After all, the system would use the massive music library in the parallel world to back him up. In the early stage, he sang so many songs, and his style was not very fixed.
But others are different, just like Dai Yuni. She used to sing sweet songs, but after her voice became hoarse, changing her style made her confused and painful for a long time.
"You have to endure it, but you have to step over the past and be unwilling to accept the status quo in order to embrace a future with more possibilities. Of course, the premise is that you have to keep learning. All success is inseparable from your accumulation!"
Li Guangmin, with his hands behind his back, was chatting and laughing with his apprentice, feeling very happy.
As a disciple, I can still listen to other people's opinions, and while he is modest and eager to learn, he will not just nod and flatter. What the teacher says is what he says. He has his own ideas and thinking.
This is even more rare!
What Li Guangmin didn't know was that Yang Qian actually understood these principles himself without having to tell him.
After realizing the gap between myself and old singers, I wanted to slow down a bit and not rush to release new songs and performances, but instead polish my singing skills more carefully.
Fortunately, the organizer was also very kind. Although Yang Qian did not sing on stage and had no performance fees, his song licensing fees were every penny.
Even a song like "Keep the Roots", which has never been popular on the Internet, has provided him with a steady stream of "huge" income, becoming the most profitable among Yang Qian's dozen songs.
Now she is also helping Yang Qian increase the amount of his savings to a very "magnificent" seven figures - after Dai Yuni found out about his new income, she even teased him that he was a millionaire.
…
The real rich man is very low-key!
Dai Zhenhong, who has a net worth of eleven digits and has never shown off to his daughter, arrived at the Yixian Memorial Hall, the venue for tonight's cultural performance, in the evening.
Tonight was such a big occasion with provincial leaders in attendance. Dai Zhenhong did not let his bodyguards follow him. They were waiting in the car outside, while his assistant also stayed outside the memorial hall and was not eligible to enter.
Of course, it is very safe inside. As a well-known boss in the real estate industry, Dai Zhenhong was surrounded by many private entrepreneurs from Guangdong Province to greet and communicate with him as soon as he entered.
"Mr. Tang, it's getting late. Maybe leader XXX will be here soon. I'm going to the bathroom. You guys should hurry up and take your seats!"
Dai Zhenhong chatted with them for more than 20 minutes before he found an excuse to get away.
Going to the bathroom is not an excuse. Dai Zhenhong is old and his kidney function is not very good. In addition, when eating at night, the food in Guangdong Province is too soupy and watery, so he has to go to the bathroom.
But Dai Zhenhong's stop in the bathroom stall was a bit long.
Just like spring rain, sparse, fine, yet continuous, long...
A person came to the urinal outside the center, and the movement was like the typhoons that have ravaged the Magic City in recent years—a pouring water, pouring down in an instant.
To Dai Zhenhong, the sound of rushing water sounded like a sweeping torrent, roaring and rushing down!
With mixed emotions, Dai Zhenhong opened the door and came out, only to see a young figure standing in front of the sink.
Is this considered a latecomer catching up? It’s faster than him...
The young man who had washed his hands heard the movement behind him and looked back at Dai Zhenhong, who was in a suit and leather shoes. There was no fluctuation in his eyes. He just smiled politely at him, took a step back, and signaled that he had finished washing, and gave his place to the other person.
, turned around and prepared to leave.
There are toilets provided at each entrance and exit of the auditorium, but due to its age, the toilet space is not large, and the sinks are one high and one short. One toilet only provides two sinks.
"Yang Qian?"
What the young man didn't expect was that this man in a suit and leather tie with an extraordinary temperament took one look at his face and recognized him with astonishment in his eyes.
Well, the young man who came to use the toilet is Yang Qian!
He had been backstage at the singer and dance troupe just now, greeting some senior artists with Teacher Li Guangmin, and he looked familiar. Now he had to go back to his seat and sit down before he had time to come over and use the toilet.
I’ve been holding it in for a long time!
However, Yang Qian had never seen Dai Zhenhong before, nor was he so powerful that he could see the shadow of his girlfriend on the face of a strange uncle.
He preconceivedly thought that Dai Zhenhong was one of his older fans!
