From Middle Age: Leisure Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 34 It’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish

At this time, Zhao Yawen was very sober and low-key.

Yesterday, Wu Lan personally called her to the office. In addition to encouraging her, he also told her to stay humble and cautious, not to accept interviews from entertainment reporters casually, and not to run around casually.

Everything is arranged by the company, you just have to sing with peace of mind.

Today, it was Tang Guang who insisted on treating her, so he came to the fast food restaurant to eat as a last resort.

"Thank you! But Mr. Wu said that if I'm not allowed to drink, I'll just use water instead of wine?" Zhao Yawen said, picking up the mineral water bottle and clinking it with Tang Guang's beer glass.

Wu Lan also told her to drink less sugary drinks to avoid gaining weight easily and to stay in shape, so she reluctantly gave up her favorite Coke and drank pure water.

At this time, several boys and girls suddenly came to the fast food restaurant. They saw Zhao Yawen who was eating, and a girl suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Oh, isn't this the girl who sang Bai Suzhen under Qingcheng Mountain?"

"Yes, that's her! Zhao Yawen!"

"Wow, I didn't expect to meet my idol here. I want to sign an autograph and take a photo!"

After getting off work in the afternoon, Yu Dongqing and Luo Yun just walked out of the company building door and saw Zhao Yawen standing on the street opposite the square from a distance.

Although it is still summer vacation, Zhao Yawen has already moved into the campus. Wu Lan helped her contact a college teacher to teach her basic opera skills first, so that non-technical students like her would not be able to catch up with their studies when school starts.

Zhao Yawen sighed and asked again: "What if Director Wu asks him."

"Difficult." Unexpectedly, Tang Guang shook his head: "After Teacher Yu sang "The Final Countdown" to me, I also wanted to do it, but he refused."

Tang Guang's face became serious.

Under the sycamore tree beside the street, Zhao Yawen walked up to Yu Dongqing, expressed her gratitude first, and then asked: "Teacher Yu, can you help me write another ancient song like this?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Yawen was silent.

He is quite optimistic about this girl. If there were not so many good ancient songs, who would sing them?

Of course, I can't say this now, and the copyright issue has not been resolved.

Tang Guang had no choice but to shut up and sit aside.

Ah?

Don't tell me, Yu Dongqing really has this plan.

"No, no, he is my colleague." Zhao Yawen quickly denied.

"Oh, I recognize you, Tang Guang! You sang that rock song "The Final Countdown"!" A handsome boy with one earring said: "But I don't like rock music, I still like it

Miss Yawen sang Bai Suzhen."

"Holly, I'm looking for you." Luo Yun smiled.

After a while, as if she had made up her mind, she looked up at Yu Dongqing:

"Teacher Yu, I listen to you. I will go to Director Wu now and ask for further training!"

When a group of fans finally left to order food, Zhao Yawen whispered to Tang Guang, "I'm sorry."

"No, no, I don't think you are stupid, but I really admire you." Tang Guang said, "It is really not easy to make such a decision. You will definitely succeed!"

Zhao Yawen calculated that this training, tuition fees, accommodation fees, including daily living expenses, would cost almost all her savings over the years.

"Miss, is he your boyfriend?" Suddenly a girl saw Tang Guang sitting aside and asked curiously.

"Go." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"I don't deny that there is such a risk." Yu Dongqing replied calmly: "But if you want to go a long way, you must lay down solid basic skills. This girl has great potential. I think this risk is worth taking."

"It's okay, Yawen, you are so popular now." Tang Guang said with a smile.

"He said that my creative potential has not been fully explored, and it is best to write it myself."

"Oh, I understand." Zhao Yawen said thoughtfully.

"Moreover, you have composed songs before, and after studying, you also tried to write similar songs yourself. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Yawen left quietly. The relevant leaders of the company came forward and contacted her to enter the advanced training class of the Chinese Opera Academy for one year.

Seeing the girl like this, Yu Dongqing thought for a while and said:

"Of course, it is more difficult to take this road. If you feel that you can't go on and want to sing now, I can also help you write another song, but don't come to me again in the future."

Yu Dongqing looked at her, thought for a moment and then said: "Have you ever heard the story that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish?"

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going to catch the subway. Bye, see you tomorrow!" Yu Dongqing smiled, turned and walked towards the subway entrance.

Is this girl crazy?

She didn't even want the opportunity given by the company, but paid for further studies herself!

A year from now, who knows what the music scene will be like?

Will ancient songs still be popular?

Wouldn't the company give you such a good opportunity?

Some close colleagues privately advised Zhao Yawen not to be so stupid, but she persisted in going her own way.

Zhao Yawen's face changed from gloomy to sunny, and it was obvious that she was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

In the song MV, the white lady with fluttering white clothes and full of fairy spirit is the very elegant girl from years ago.

"Thank you." Zhao Yawen smiled sweetly.

"Since you want to take this path, I still suggest that you calm down, get your basic skills solid first, and study opera, including opera scores, singing, stage performances, etc.

At this time Tang Guang also stood up and said that she and I were colleagues, singers under Jinye.

"Why?"

When Zhao Yawen saw Yu Dongqing, she waved to him and walked over.

This is an opportunity. I have to seize it firmly.

"Director Wu is his boss. Teacher Yu has to listen to her words, but you'd better not pressure him through Director Wu. I dare say, have you seen Ai Tong? Even though she is very popular now, Teacher Yu asked her to transform her

No, I dare say this is the last time Teacher Yu will write a song for Ai Tong!"

When the girl walked away, Luo Yun, who had been silent just now, said: "Dongqing, are you deceiving this little girl? I heard that the company is planning to release a new album for her while the iron is hot. It would be a good idea for you to let her go to further her studies.

The competition in the music industry is so fierce now. If the popularity is gone when the girls come back from the training camp, what will we do?"

does it worth?

Now, with the sunset filling the sky, Zhao Yawen finished her meal and wandered alone on the school avenue. No one here noticed this girl in a T-shirt and shorts. She had just sang a very popular song.

But Zhao Yawen still decided to give Yu Dongqing a try.

Zhao Yawen gave up the opportunity given by her company to release a new album and went to the Central Academy of Drama to study for a year at her own expense!

The news quickly spread within the company, and everyone was talking about it.

Zhao Yawen's face turned red with excitement. Since she sang this song, her number of fans has skyrocketed. Now it has reached a record of 800,000. If she continues at this rate, she will soon surpass 1 million!

More importantly, the company is already preparing a new solo album for her.

"Tang Guang, are you here to persuade me? Do you think I'm stupid?" Zhao Yawen looked at the honest young man in front of her and asked.

Luo Yun snorted and suddenly said: "Dongqing, I understand, you will protect this Zhao Yawen."

Immediately, Zhao Yawen was surrounded by several fans and took photos. Zhao Yawen naturally complied with his request.

Of course, you have to pay for both make-up fees and tuition fees yourself.

"Tang Guang, I also want Teacher Yu to help me write another song." Zhao Yawen whispered her thoughts.

Sometimes she feels hesitant in her heart, thinking about this issue.

Whenever this happens, the handsome middle-aged man will appear in his mind, and his words are vivid in his mind.

I think he will definitely help me.

Zhao Yawen thought so.
