A real singer
Everyone looked at Xia Tian in amazement.
What did she mean? Did she want Jiang Qin and Xia Tian to become superstars like her
The boys' faces were filled with excitement and joy, as if they were about to witness the people around them becoming future celebrities that would attract worldwide attention.
The girls were envious and jealous. Why did Xia Tian choose Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin? Why didn't she choose us? I'm cute, and I sing well. Is it because those two guys have a better relationship with Fang Yan that Xia Tian, as Fang Yan's close friend or girlfriend, treats them differently and takes better care of them
This is not fair!
Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin looked at each other, and there was a gleam in the eyes of the two little girls.
Yuan Lin looked at Xia Tian and asked, "Sister Xia Tian, are you saying that we should become singers?"
"Yes." Xia Tian nodded very seriously. He was not joking at all.
"Can we really do it?" Jiang Qin was still a little unsure. "We just hummed when we have nothing to do, and we don't know any singing techniques----"
"There are no techniques to learn. But the voice and sound quality are innate." Xia Tian said. "I was really amazed when I heard you two singing just now. Jiang Qin has a very good lung capacity. If you can practice more, I believe no high notes will be difficult for you. In time, maybe our Huaxia country will have another dolphin voice princess that will shock the whole world."
"Yuan Lin's voice is clear and transparent, like a glass of bubbling lemonade. It's sour, and has a lazy feeling of a summer afternoon - this voice is very recognizable. Most importantly, the combination of your two voices is - how should I describe it? I think the relationship between you two must be very good, right? The two completely different voices are so perfectly blended together to form a new voice that is very intoxicating and influential."
Xia Tian looked at Fang Yan and said, "I think it's a pity that they don't go to sing."
Fang Yan smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's a pity that I have no say in whether they sing or not. I am their teacher, not their father."
Yuan Lin grabbed Fang Yan's arm and shook him, and called out in a coquettish voice: "Dad, please give me some advice, should we go sing? Should we go sing?"
Jiang Qin also looked at Fang Yan with burning eyes, hoping that he could point out a clear way.
Fang Yan sighed softly and said seriously, "I'm not kidding you. This matter is very important. It determines the direction of your future development - and what kind of symbol your entire life will leave in this world."
"You should think carefully and listen to your heart. Whatever you want to do, then work hard for it. If you want to be a teacher, then start studying hard from now on. If you want to paint, then practice more. If you want to sing, now that the opportunity is in front of you, go back and find a way to convince your parents to agree - fight for your choice. Even if you fail, you won't have any regrets."
Fang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Having a choice is always a hundred times happier than being forced to choose."
A teacher should not only impart knowledge in class, but also teach students how to be a good person outside of the classroom.
Fang Yan would not easily make a decision for the two girls as it concerns their lives, but he would use his own life wisdom to tell them how to think and how to choose next.
There is an old Chinese saying: People leave their names behind, and wild geese leave their voices behind.
Life is short. Some people live a dull life without doing anything. Some people stand at the top of their fields and shine brightly.
Some people choose the stable and happy life of daily necessities, while others choose to brave the wind and waves and see thousands of sails. If you choose a different path, you will see different scenery along the way.
Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin looked hesitant and had difficulty making up their minds.
It is difficult for any girl to refuse the temptation of going from an ordinary little girl to becoming a world superstar.
You know, the one who invited them was the big star Xia Tian.
As long as she is willing to support and help them, they will be on the fast track to fame. Learn from famous teachers, release records, hold concerts----
Most importantly, they really like singing.
Jiang Qin looked at Yuan Lin and said uncertainly: "I'm a little scared. I heard that the entertainment industry is so dark----"
"Who dares?" Xia Tian sneered. Her pretty face was gentle and elegant, and the words "who dares" were really domineering. "The entertainment industry is full of filth and dirt. This is an indisputable fact. Some people want to become famous overnight, some want to take shortcuts, and some are greedy and never satisfied, so they choose to pay - but if you can stick to your bottom line, who can force you?"
"Besides, since I invited you to sing, I will naturally ensure your safety. Whoever dares to touch a hair on your head will be made to pay a heavy price. Of course, I am not saying that you must come in. Teacher Fang Yan is right. You must make the choice for yourselves."
Xia Tian looked at Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin with a smile in his eyes and said, "If you like singing, then come and sing."
"I do." Yuan Lin said firmly. "I like singing."
Jiang Qin, who usually has a stronger personality, is now undecided. He glanced at Fang Yan and said, "I don't know if my parents will agree. Actually, I am willing to do this too."
Xia Tian smiled and said, "I can't help you with this. Some difficulties must be overcome by yourself - such as communication problems with your parents."
Fang Yan looked at Xia Tian and asked uncertainly, "They are still so young, is it really okay?"
"Of course not." Xia Tian said.
"------"
"Do you know the Twelve Girls Band?" Xia Tian asked.
"I know." Fang Yan nodded. It was a band that performed Chinese classical music in the form of pop music. Their works such as "Glorious", "Loulan Girl", "High Mountains and Flowing Water" were all very classic and widely circulated around the world.
Sometimes when Fang Yan was doing Tai Chi, he would listen to their music. Their music was both lively and exciting, and often brought him a lot of inspiration.
"This is a great group. They have conquered Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States with their pure music. They have promoted Chinese classical culture and music elements to the world. What they are doing is also what I want to do."
"It has always been celebrities from other countries who have conquered China. Although they are far away on the other side of the world, as long as they release a record or a single, it can spread all over the world. Hollywood movies, European and American music, Japanese anime, Korean idol dramas and idol groups - whether we admit it or not, this is a kind of cultural invasion and a kind of cultural conquest. And they also rely on this cultural victory to bring huge influence in China and obtain huge profits."
"They used these to conquer us, so what can we use to fight back? Can our music fight back in Europe and America? Can our anime fight back in Japan? Can our idol dramas and idol groups fight back in Korea? Can our movies be a global hit?"
Xia Tian, who had always given people a gentle and warm impression, suddenly became sharp, and the look in his eyes when he looked at everyone carried a captivating aura.
This is ambition!
This is the spirit!
Fang Yan thought to himself. Once a person has spirit, his temperament will change completely.
It turns out that the legendary pure queen is not really pure and low-key. What she has in mind is the struggle for Chinese heritage and culture.
Fang Yan felt that such a woman was worthy of admiration, just as worthy of admiration as himself.
"One plus one sometimes does not equal two, but ten. If this continues for a long time, our cultural situation will become even more difficult. When those great sages who are closer to the core of Chinese traditional culture, those knowledgeable cultural scholars and artists who stick to their original intentions grow old and leave one by one, the young generation who grew up watching One Piece and drinking Coca-Cola - can they shoulder the responsibility of cultural revitalization? Can they use our culture to spread our influence everywhere? Can they conquer the world with the totem of the Chinese dragon?"
"If a singer has an ideal, this is mine. So, we have to prepare in advance. We have to reserve talents for this - I want to add a lot of Chinese elements to the new album, so I have this in mind. However, relying on just me, or a few people, is far from enough. We need a large number of such talents, such musicians, or in other words - real artists."
Xia Tian looked at Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin and said, "If you refuse, then everything I say has nothing to do with you. You can study, fall in love, work, get married and have children - maybe you can achieve extraordinary success in a certain field. But if you nod, then the two of you - no, the three of us, will become a unified whole."
"I won't force you to grow up fast, nor will I rush you to make money, release records, hold concerts - don't even think about it."
"I will send you to learn vocal music, pronunciation, pipa, erhu, guzheng, bamboo flute and yangqin. You will work very hard, so hard that you will want to give up every second and cry every minute."
"But if you can persevere, if you complete all these courses. When you have all these skills, when you are blessed and protected by Chinese culture - I think it won't be too difficult for you to step on this world, right?"
Xia Tian's expression was full of confidence and satisfaction, and her eyes were shining like the bright moon in the sky. She looked at Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin and asked in an extremely bewitching voice: "Are you willing to become the gods of this world?"
(PS: Some people say, Lao Liu, you are writing about celebrities again.
Think about it carefully, yes, why am I writing about celebrities again
why
Because I like it.
When I see others singing beautifully, I want to be able to sing like that. When I see others writing beautifully, I want to be able to write like that. When I see others looking good, I think---Luckily I am also good-looking. Otherwise, if I can't sing well, write well, and look extremely ugly, isn't my life too cruel
I like the Twelve Girls Band that adds pop elements to Chinese classical music, I like the Seven Flowers Band that sings "Wing Chun" and "Yu Sheng Yan", I like Jay Chou because he has a Chinese style song in every album, I like Jane Zhang, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Eason Chan, Karen Mok, Rene Liu------
I think they are amazing, I don't see the dirt and darkness you mentioned in them. On the contrary, I think people who love music to the extreme are clean and transparent.
That's the truth, I'm writing the story I want to write. ) (To be continued)
