Chapter 5 Instead of thinking about being famous, it is better to lay the foundation first (signed a monthly pass)
"How can I have any childhood sweethearts? I wrote this song for music. Have you seen those records?"
Yang Qian was a little dumbfounded. He pointed to the cabinet where he kept records and asked his sister to look over.
"I just lamented that music developed very well in the past, with so many good singers and so many good songs. However, the entire industry was later destroyed by piracy."
When he sang just now, he was expressing such feelings, which could be used to fool his sister.
"Time passes and can never be returned, the past can only be recalled. This is what the song means!"
Yang Qian didn't sing it, he read it out.
"What about childhood sweethearts?"
Yang Shihan was doubtful about her brother's explanation.
"If it were written directly about the nostalgia of the past music heyday, this song would be weird, and people wouldn't like to listen to such a song, don't you think?"
Yang Qian tried hard to break it back.
"Aren't the songs everyone sings about love? So I replaced the memories of the past with childhood sweethearts, saying how wonderful it used to be. When I didn't understand anything, I listened to the song every day, 'My childhood sweethearts are with me day and night.
'."
"Later, when I grew up, I heard, 'The spring breeze blows the stamens red again, and you have also added a new year', including the later one, 'It's hard to turn back time when you change your mind'. They all say that things have changed and people have changed, and the glory of the past is no longer there. Music
The market is no longer as simple as it used to be, it has changed into a new look. It’s a pity that time cannot be turned back, I can only miss the beauty of that time in my dreams.”
It's so ridiculous... Yang Qian almost wanted to praise himself.
But there was no other way. Faced with a sister who was smart and knew him very well, Yang Qian could only rack his brains to explain it like this.
So tired!
Yang Qian planned that if others asked similar questions in the future, he would not explain, but would just smile enigmatically: What do you think?
"You are really good at comparing these to love..."
Yang Shihan reluctantly accepted her brother's explanation, but regret was written on her face.
Asking so many questions, didn't she just want to know the gossip about her brother?
The result was no!
Even consider music as love!
I won’t end up alone forever, will I?
Yang Shihan became worried.
"Brother, have you written any other songs?"
Let's change the topic. Yang Shihan is quite interested in her brother's sudden ability to write songs.
"I wrote it, you give me the guitar and I will sing to you."
Yang Qian smiled and took the guitar and prepared to sing "Goodbye" to his sister.
It's just a good time to brush up on your practice volume again. After all, singing in the park is about feeding the mosquitoes...
"No, brother, you wrote this song? Is it true?"
However, Yang Shihan didn't wait for him to finish singing. After listening to the first few lines, she exclaimed "Wow" excitedly.
"Really, have you heard this song?"
Yang Qian lowered his hands helplessly. He was interrupted. This exercise will not count.
"I've heard it! I heard it's very popular recently. Some classmates in our class sang it yesterday. He said that we will also sing this song when we graduate from high school! No, was this song really written by you?"
Yang Shihan still found it incredible.
She really didn't know who wrote the song "Goodbye", and she never cared about it, but how could such a beautiful song be written by her brother?
This is not a question, Yang Shihan just preconceivedly believed that this song should be written by a professional and sung by a professional singer.
"This song is quite popular recently, isn't it?"
Yang Qian looked at his sister with a smile.
"Yes, many people sang it. Class 3 also learned this song before morning reading class today."
It is the tradition of Hecheng No. 1 Middle School for the graduating class students to sing some inspirational songs before reading in the morning. Yang Qian also did this before when he was a senior in high school.
But today Yang Qian is planning to show off to his sister in front of Versailles:
"This song is popular because of your brother!"
Yang Qian pointed at himself with a smile.
There are videos and the truth. Yang Qian opened the video website on his computer, searched the official homepage of Nanyue University, found the full version of the "Goodbye" singing video that was pinned to the top, and clicked it to show his sister.
"Wow! Brother, it's really you!"
Yang Shihan recognized at a glance that the boy wearing a bachelor's robe on stage was her brother. She walked over from the bed with her eyes wide open, and the light of excitement flashed along with the display screen.
At the university's graduation ceremony, many of the classmates' families came to the school to observe, but Yang Qian's family did not go.
Mainly because of Yang Shihan, she had to go to class and her parents had to take care of her who was about to enter her senior year of high school, so they all stayed in Hecheng.
But over the weekend, Yang Shihan saw her brother’s graduation photo in the WeChat group of “Love each other as a family”, which was exactly the same as the one in the video!
It turns out that my brother graduated in such a beautiful place!
College seems to be fun!
"Goodbye today may really be forever..."
Yang Qian stood behind his sister. Although he had watched this video before, he felt a little ashamed every time he heard what he said on stage.
It’s so poor!
It won’t be so messy if you are a little prepared!
Of course, the key is to sing.
In the video, Yang Qian played the guitar and sang the song "Goodbye".
Listening to his singing in the video, Yang Qian felt somewhat emotional.
What he sings here is really extraordinary!
Maybe because he was about to graduate and his emotions were in full swing, Yang Qian sang so much that he was moved.
Later, when he practiced again and compared it with the system's recordings, he felt that he was still not able to reach the level of that night!
Perhaps, he has to wait until he can unlock some of his [singing] skills in the future and learn more techniques such as emotional resonance, or continue to practice hard and find his own way, so that he can surpass himself at the graduation ceremony...
"Brother, why don't you become a singer? Why do you want to come back to our small place in Hecheng to be a reporter?"
After watching the video, Yang Shihan was convinced that her brother had written this song. She was even filled with pride because she felt proud to have such a great brother!
However, Yang Shihan was even more confused. Her brother could write songs and sing, so why did he come back?
"Because I can't sing well enough, and I haven't written enough songs to reach the level of a singer. I still need to hone and hone."
Yang Qian smiled as if there was nothing in his heart.
There is indeed a reason for this, but the main reason for Yang Qian's return is because he signed a tripartite agreement with Holland City TV before he owned the system, even half a year ago.
Yang Qian's personality is more Buddhist and he doesn't like competition very much. He didn't take the exam for media units in Yangcheng or Pengcheng because the competition there is fierce and I heard the water is very deep. My family doesn't have any background in a big city, so I might be able to get by there.
Not happy.
When he returned to Hecheng, although Yang Qian did not have any connections at home, his academic qualifications and abilities would have certain advantages in a small city. Just like now, he could follow Teacher Ouyang and do some real things.
In addition, living at home is comfortable and there is not much pressure, so Yang Qian chose to come back!
Of course, the emergence of the "fans" system has rekindled Yang Qian's hope of pursuing his dream.
If he wanted to sing, he couldn't stay in Hecheng all the time. Yang Qian also understood that sooner or later he would go to a big city, even north of Yangcheng, and drift north.
But not now, Yang Qian has signed a tripartite agreement, and he should come back to work in accordance with the law and principles.
As for whether to stay or leave in the future, he must have a clear discussion with his employer and not just leave willfully!
What's more, Yang Qian is not satisfied with his singing skills. He couldn't sing well before, but he has a very picky ear!
He can feel the gap between himself and professional singers. Just the improvement of musical sense, Yang Qian feels that is not enough!
He has to sing it over and over again to accumulate enough practice times to unlock more songs and more skills for himself.
However, Yang Shihan didn't think so.
"How can you not sing well? Brother, you can sing very well. Many people on the Internet can't sing as well as you, but they dare to post songs on the phone!"
Yang Shihan curled her lips.
Yang Qian smiled and made no comment.
"That's right, brother, you can also start a live broadcast and make a buzzing sound, saying that you are the author and original singer of "Goodbye". It will definitely become popular!"
The more Yang Shihan talked, the more excited she became, and she felt like she had come up with a trick for her brother.
"I don't have the idea of starting a live broadcast and making noises yet. If I want to be popular, there were MCNs who wanted to sign me before, so I agreed to them!"
Yang Qian shook his head, but there was still no wave in his tone.
Taking the Internet celebrity route can certainly help him become famous quickly and earn him a lot of money quickly, but these are not what Yang Qian wants.
"What is MCN?"
"They are institutions like brokerage companies, but they specialize in cultivating Internet celebrities."
"Then why didn't you agree?"
Yang Shihan was a little confused about what her brother was thinking.
"Because I want to sing and become a real singer!"
Although Yang Qian is more Buddhist, he has always been calm and smart. He clearly knows what his dream is!
"If you make a short video of singing, you are no longer a singer? Although I say that many people can't sing well, some people are not bad at singing!"
Yang Shihan is still a little unclear about carrying it.
"I can be considered half a singer, but not a pure singer."
Yang Qian paused and decided to explain to his sister what he meant.
"What I mean by a pure singer is one with a pure purpose. Just like before, in order to sing a song well, he keeps practicing, keeps singing, keeps improving himself, and then sings to his satisfaction and to the fans.
A satisfying traditional singer.”
Yang Shihan frowned.
“But making short videos doesn’t mean you can’t sing well or improve yourself!”
She could be considered to be getting involved by her own IQ, and she always felt that there was a certain logical problem in it.
"That's true, but when you sign with MCN, or if you want to be famous, do you have to keep shooting videos? These short videos that don't even finish a song,
Changing songs every day, and finally following the crowd and relying on pronunciation to show how well you sing in a short video, how much can a singer improve his own singing ability?"
Yang Qian's question finally made Yang Shihan stunned. She fell into deep thought and thought carefully about her brother's words.
"Be a good singer, practice your singing skills to the extreme, make yourself and your fans happy, and then shoot short videos. Unlike me, who is not strong enough and just wants to show up, just think about it.
Becoming an Internet celebrity and constantly making videos to show how well I sing. These are two different things, and they are completely opposite!"
Yang Qian pointed to his heart, smiled at his sister and said:
"Your brother and I just want to be a singer. I want to sing my songs well. I want to be the best singer who can excite the fans even in concerts like the former superstar."
"If you can really achieve such a goal, do you still have to worry about not being famous and making money? Like Liu Tianwang, who is more popular than him?"
"Hanhan, we don't compete for the first place in running water, but we compete for eloquence! Your brother and I's singing is the same as your study. Sharpening the knife will never miss the woodcutter! Instead of thinking about becoming famous, it is better to lay a good foundation first!"
