don't call me singer

Chapter 849 I Want to Eat It Too
Dongwon University.

A boy came out of the auditorium.

Immediately, many more reporters joined in, the flashes flickered, and the reporters' microphones snapped up.

"Mr. Shao, may I ask why you also participated in this school song competition?"

"Mr. Shao, I heard that the song you sang today has been bought for 20 yuan, is it true?"

"Mr. Shao, your current grades..."

Shao Yangyang suddenly turned his head, corrected the reporter before him, and said, "It was sold for 200 million, and it was just a song."

The reporter who was being corrected hurried forward, wanting to continue to ask more questions. Shao Yangyang, who was in the crowd, waved his hands and walked out of the crowd under the protection of two bodyguards.

Behind, the flash is still flashing desperately.

After getting into the car, Shao Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief and took out his phone.

He first made a phone call to his father: "Dad, it's passed... Well, I understand Dad, okay Dad..."

Then he called Yu Wenhong again: "Aunt Yu, I came out and everything went well... Yes, I passed, and the instructor's evaluation was not bad..."

After making the phone call, Shao Yangyang took a deep breath, leaned on the backrest a little tiredly, and looked ahead.

The car was driving out of the crowd and gradually heading towards the gate of Dongyuan University.

From time to time, there are reporters taking pictures of the vehicles on the side of the road in front of the vehicles.

Although he knew that the reporters couldn't see him, Shao Yangyang still put on his hat and shrank in the back seat, avoiding all eyes.

Ever since he was a child, it was almost his instinct to avoid flashing lights when he shouldn't show his face.

Without knowing when, he has started to hate all the flashing lights.

On the co-pilot of the vehicle, his manager and his aunt Zhu Yaxin said: "Yangyang, if you are tired, take a rest, and you have to go to vocal music class later. The vocal teacher said that you have not performed well recently. Great, you must work hard."

Shao Yangyang didn't speak, but his height, which was originally not tall, shrank even smaller.

Shao Yangyang, as the last contestant of "Genius Project B", has also successfully entered the primary selection of Dongyuan University's school song competition.

This means that the six members of the "Genius Project" promoted by Yu Wenhong have all been shortlisted for the primary selection of the school song competition.

This is not difficult, after all, the primary selection criteria for the school song competition is "college students who are relatively good at singing".

The six people who have been selected, trained, and packaged by a professional company, if they fail the primary selection, are the problems.

But Shao Yangyang is actually quite special.

Because Shao Yangyang is a "star second generation".

His father was once a popular singer Shao Kebin, and his mother was once a well-known "Jade Girl Singer".

However, the stardom of both of them was not smooth. After the phenomenon-level explosion, the two of them soon encountered a trough in their careers. , Under the impact of original musicians, the couple who could only sing guava love songs quickly disappeared from the public's field of vision.

After that, when the two of them appeared in front of everyone again, it was basically all kinds of gossip.

What about Shao Kebin and his wife getting divorced, Shao Kebin was found to have a mistress, Shao Kebin was suspected of being cuckolded by his manager, etc...

Fortunately, the two of them still have a few songs that are highly sung, which are must-play songs for middle-aged and elderly people when they sing in KTV, so they are not completely outdated.

And the two of them have already completed the early accumulation, coupled with their extensive contacts, and catching up with the good times, many things they invest in have good returns, and they have gradually become "capital" in the entertainment industry, a bit "wrist". "the meaning of.

It’s the kind of party headlines on self-media, like “He used to be popular all over the country, others thought he was old, but in fact he lived a super good life” “Look at XXX’s mansion, do you still think he’s old?” The protagonist of this title.

Are they big names in the entertainment industry?

In fact, it doesn't count anymore.

There is not much appeal and influence.

But sometimes they can still speak a little bit, and they can’t remember it without searching. If you search, they are still living on the edge of gossip and public opinion, and they will be brought out by some media as "nostalgic" and "fried rice".

In their current state, they have retreated to the second line, but they are not reconciled to the second line. They no longer rely on the entertainment circle to live, but they still don't want to leave the entertainment circle.

After all, in other circles, how could the entertainment circle be so glamorous?

Once you taste that taste, you can never go back.

The relationship between Shao Kebin and his wife is not good, and their opinions are to the left in many aspects, but there is only one thing in common.

That is the expectation for his son-to become famous as soon as possible.

The couple suffered from not having studied music systematically. At the beginning of the century, they were pushed down from the altar by a few singers with excellent singing skills, and countless musicians who were not as good as the four little heavenly kings but still had excellent creativity. Trampling and passing, trampled nowhere to turn over.

All parents in the world will give their children what they think is best.

So, since Shao Yangyang was three years old, they started music training for their son.

Piano, violin, vocals...

It can be said that they have exhausted all their strength and piled up a "music prodigy".

Under the operation of the two people with a lot of money, Shao Yangyang "demonstrated a strong creative ability" when he was in his teens, held a concert for himself, and invited many masters to praise him.

At that time, there was a wave of "gifted children" craze.

However, the enthusiasm blown out, the frequent TV appearances, but the monotonous performances were quickly bored by the audience.

In the blink of an eye, I was overwhelmed by the information of the information age and couldn't see it.

When they were almost adults, the two of them worked hard to create the title of "genius creator" for Shao Yangyang.

All kinds of original talent shows are on and on. The hype for "Creation"'s song "Sell at a Sky Price" is endless.

In the new albums of major famous singers, plug songs and show their faces.

It's just this kind of hype, this kind of promotion that spares no effort, but the effect has not been good.

No matter how many official announcements Shao Yangyang buys, his popularity has never been very high.

No matter how glamorous the "genius boy" personality his parents helped him tailor-made, the songs he "created" were just not popular.

Not even other people's songs he sang on the Internet became popular.

There is no way, Shao Yangyang’s parents, although they still have some contacts, are already old and decayed. The “genius creations” that Shao Kebin helped Shao Yangyang create are just lacking in level, and even have a decadent taste of the end of the last century, which is completely broken. No market.

But knowing that Shao Yangyang started a live broadcast and sang other people's songs on the Internet, Shao Kebin immediately closed his account and told him not to touch those "low-level" things.

The couple were defeated by that glorious beginning of the century, the era that belonged to the Four Little Heavenly Kings. Their imaginary enemies were creative geniuses like the Four Little Heavenly Kings, geniuses who led the times.

But the modern era has changed. In this era, original music is even more sluggish. Singers are not busy releasing songs, but participating in various variety shows.

Plagiarism singers are not ashamed but proud, just put together a few good hooks, and you can become a Douyin hit...

On the one hand, the music market has sunk to a lower-end environment than before they were eliminated.

On the one hand, the audience has already been fed up with a few genius-level little heavenly kings.

In this era of contradictions, they strike frequently, but they always find the wrong place, and they don't know the pulse, and they punch all the punches in the empty space.

When Shao Kebin and his wife felt unsustainable, found that they could not keep up with the times, and felt powerless and at a loss, Yu Wenhong extended an olive branch to them.

As contemporaries, Yu Wenhong and Shao Yangyang's parents had a good friendship.

And in her plan, someone like Shao Yangyang was really needed.

Other "geniuses" still need to start from scratch, but Shao Yangyang is already a half-finished product.

After joining Yu Wenhong's "Genius Project B", Yu Wenhong asked someone to drastically modify Shao Yangyang's previous creations, re-arrange personalized music, add some iconic personalized vocal packaging, and help Shao Yangyang record the album.

Then, with the addition of a few rankings, appearances on several influential programs, and the promotion of Douyin and other platforms, Shao Yangyang's "genius creator" personality finally stood up.

This kind of cooperation has lasted for several months. Some time ago, Shao Yangyang's new album also achieved good results.

There are several songs that even exploded on Douyin.

Yu Wenhong took the opportunity to hype, found some unpublished songs from the music library of his partner HSL, took them out and packaged them, and turned them into Shao Yangyang's originals, and gave these songs to his own artists to sing.

It also publicized "heavy money to buy" to the outside world, and even gave Shao Yangyang the title of producer.

Even through operation, it was shortlisted for a "best creator" list.

So far, Shao Yangyang's title of "hard to find" genius creator and producer has finally been established.

The hardships in the middle are really inexplicable to outsiders.

The hardest one is Shao Yangyang himself.

He is already a little depressed, often unable to concentrate, and needs sleeping pills to fall asleep at night.

And he's only 19 now.

At this moment, Shao Yangyang was leaning on the back seat, staring blankly at the front, not knowing what he was thinking.

The manager Zhu Yaxin in the co-pilot received a call, said a few words, and then said to Shao Yangyang in the back seat: "Yangyang, there is a new work arrangement, let's go to a press conference."

"The press conference?" Shao Yangyang flinched when he heard the words, and then said: "Aren't you going to take vocal music lessons?"

"The vocal music teacher can postpone it. This press conference is very important. Whether you can become a big star depends on this time."

Shao Yangyang shrank in the back seat, not wanting to talk.

He really wanted to say that he didn't want to be a big star, but his experience from childhood to adulthood made him dare not resist and could not resist.

The persona created by his parents and the brokerage company has turned into layers of shackles on his body, locking him firmly.

"Yangyang, remember to speak arrogantly, don't be submissive, understand? You are an excellent songwriter, and you are the best songwriter among young people. Be confident, understand?"

"Oh……"

Shao Yangyang responded.

Then, tucked in even deeper in the backseat.

After more than ten minutes, the car stopped.

The bodyguard opened the rear door, and when he heard the "click" door opening, Shao Yangyang trembled, and then got out of the car.

Outside the door, Shao Kebin was already waiting there.

He took Shao Yangyang's hand, lowered his voice and said: "Well done son, dad will rely on you from now on! Be good, come on!"

Shao Yangyang looked up in a daze, and Shao Kebin gave him a thumbs up: "Your son! Dad believes in you!"

Next to it, the reporters clicked and snapped this scene.

Shao Kebin has never been afraid of his high-profile, and is more willing to show his support for his son in front of the media. Shao Yangyang passed the primary election of the school song competition, and he immediately held a press conference.

Shao Yangyang followed behind Shao Kebin, desperately brewing his emotions, so as not to let himself be frightened.

After a while, his face flushed abnormally, and his whole body fell into excitement.

Even with a trace of abnormal mania.

When standing in front of the microphone, Shao Yangyang became calm and composed when facing the reporter's flashing lights.

Since he was a child, he didn't know how many times he participated in this kind of occasion.

From the first time he was forced to be on stage by his parents, he is now forcing himself to be on stage.

The person standing in front of the stage was no longer him, but another personality he had performed.

Sometimes, Shao Yangyang feels that he is not a singer, but an actor.

He heard himself talking big into the microphone.

"I participated in the school song competition just to win the championship."

"Their music is good, but my music is also unique, as good as anyone else's."

"Gu Xiaobai? I think Gu Xiaobai sings better than writes."

"I'm a producer, maybe one day Gu Xiaobai will ask me to help him make an album."

"I produced and released an album by myself when I was 14, much earlier than Gu Xiaobai!"

"I'm the best songwriter under the age of 20!"

"In this era, there is actually a unified standard to measure whether music is good or not, and that is whether there is a market."

"If I stay behind the scenes, I can make a living by writing songs. Do you think Gu Xiaobai can do it?"

"I think Gu Xiaobai is more handsome than me... He really can't make a living by music."

All kinds of utterances were really endless, and the reporters next to them were so happy that they stretched out their microphones desperately for fear that the reception would not be clear.

As a musician, arrogance is actually not a shortcoming.

What's more, Shao Yangyang's age is here, he is younger than Fu Wenyao, only more than one year older than Gu Xiaobai.

At this age, when participating in the school song competition, if you accidentally vomit fragrance or something, you are all "sincere" and "upright".

At least after it's been packaged and introduced.

Moreover, it is normal for teenagers to dislike each other, and "adults" will be more tolerant.

Although many people don't agree with Shao Yangyang's "Qiafan" remarks, they have to admit that being able to use music to make a meal and sell 200 million yuan for a song is also very impressive.

After all, in this modern society, music is really difficult to get right.

But as for whether he is the most expensive, I don't know, after all, Gu Xiaobai has never sold a song.

After the press conference was over, Shao Yangyang retreated to the back seat, as if he had been drained dry.

And that night, after twelve o'clock.

"Prosperity and Peace" is online.
