The man of scumbag Gulnazar
Chapter 4 Recording Discussion
"Thank you so much for your kind words, Teacher Na!" Qin Tian said gratefully.
"Alright, alright, let's get back to the main topic. Qin Tian, please introduce yourself." Huan Ge skillfully steered the conversation back to the program's flow.
"Hello everyone! My name is Qin Tian, I come from the beautiful city of Harbin, and I just turned 18 this year. I'm currently a 'fresh-faced' student about to enter my second year of high school," Qin Tian introduced himself humorously.
"Qin Tian, how did you create such a wonderful work at such a young age? Can you share your creative process with us?" Yang Thirty-Two asked curiously.
"Teacher Yang, that's a great question! I've been a novel enthusiast since I was a child, and I spent almost all my pocket money in junior high on novel rentals at bookstores. I remember a line from Xuanzang in 'The Legend of Wukong': 'I want this sky to no longer obscure my vision; I want this earth to no longer bury my heart; I want all living beings to understand my will; I want all Buddhas to vanish into thin air.' I especially love that line, particularly Sun Wukong's indomitable spirit—it's absolutely inspiring!"
"So, I used this as the background and wrote this song." Qin Tian answered so fluently, secretly glad that he had prepared his explanation in advance.
"The song describes Wukong as having terrifyingly great abilities, but he has lost his joy and even regrets killing monsters. The whole song vividly depicts Wukong's great supernatural powers, his former high spirits, his experiences on the journey to the West, and his inner struggles," Qin Tian added.
Although the four teachers had not read the novel "The Legend of Wukong", they could still understand the general meaning of the lyrics, and they all said that the lyrics were really well written and the theme was very high.
Ms. Harlin asked curiously, "Are you a music student?"
"Teacher, actually, I suddenly stopped having homework after the high school entrance exam, and I felt bored, so I signed up for a music class to enrich my extracurricular life. As a result, I discovered that I love music so much, and I've been studying it ever since!" Qin Tian replied with a smile.
Na Jie then asked, "I saw in your lyrics that you wrote about a glorious past where you conquered the heavens, but now you seem somewhat helpless. Have you encountered any difficulties in your life?"
Qin Tian waved his hand: "No, that's not true. I'm just an ordinary person, living an ordinary life. Although I'm not rich, I'm happy and content!" But in his heart, he was thinking: "What? Do you want me to play the victim? No way! There are too many questions, I'm going crazy! Luckily, I'm well prepared."
Seeing this, Huan Ge continued, "I see you've been studying outside of class for about a year. Can you tell me about your learning achievements? Do you have any other works?"
Qin Tian was internally screaming, "I'm going! I don't want to!" But he maintained a smile on his face, while inwardly he was roaring, "People who sing well always have high expectations! But my performance of Wukong was already amazing enough. If I sing something worse, wouldn't it make me seem like that's all I'm good at? I have to bring something better. But if I sing better, the audience's expectations will only get higher and higher. What am I going to do then? I still have four or five songs to sing in the finals!"
"Ugh!! Ugh!! Ugh, this is so annoying!" Qin Tian thought to himself, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "For some teachers, I'll sing a short song for you."
This would definitely be a bonus performance, and he couldn't refuse. Qin Tian quickly searched his brain and finally thought of a song that suited his student identity and was also quite good—Zhang Jie's "Ode to Young China" from 2018. Although he hadn't recorded the song yet, the copyright had already been registered.
Looking at Qin Tian's confident demeanor, Huan Ge sighed again, "Youth is wonderful! Although you haven't been studying for long, you seem to have a lot of talent."
As Qin Tian's singing began:
"The rising sun shines brightly, the river bursts forth from its hidden source, flowing into a vast ocean. The hidden dragon soars from the abyss, its scales and claws flashing, the young tiger roars in the valley, all beasts tremble in fear. Youth has its own youthful madness, its body as upright as mountains and rivers. Daring to measure the sun and moon again, today only we, the young men, stand. Daring to test our sharpness against heaven and earth, who can stop us as we cut through thorns and brambles? The world laughs at me, but I will be strong, I will not fail my youth!"
After finishing the song, Qin Tian bowed deeply once again: "Thank you, teacher!"
"(⊙o⊙) Wow, what's the name of this song?" Sister Na exclaimed excitedly. "Qin Tian, I was the first one to transfer here! Your song really touches my heart. Would you like to teach me how to sing it?"
"Hey, hey, hey, they're already starting to grab it?" Yang Thirty-Two looked completely bewildered, catching Kun Ge off guard.
"Don't rush to interrupt!" Na Ying interrupted with an air of dominance. As the queen of love songs, and having led the most teams to victory on The Voice of China stage, Na Ying is an absolute authority when it comes to grasping the trends of popular music.
In terms of teaching expertise, Huan Ge might be a cut above, but when it comes to popular music, you have to look to Na Jie. Back in the day, she rose to become a mainland diva amidst the fierce bombardment of Hong Kong and Taiwan music. There are only a handful of universally recognized divas in mainland China: Tian Zhen, Na Jie, Wei Wei, and Mao Emin. Of those still active on stage today, only Na Jie remains.
"Putting everything else aside, the show 'Wukong' is taking this so seriously, they'll definitely promote it. Your song itself will most likely become a hit. The song you just sang is clearly a positive energy song that could be on the Spring Festival Gala. Although we don't know the name yet, if we can get a talented student like you into the team, even if we don't win the championship, it'll be good to build a good relationship. Maybe we can even get Qin Tian's original song. It's only a matter of time before he makes it big!" Sister Na had already planned it all out.
"Qin Tian, I'll call you Xiao Tian, it sounds more friendly." First move: to build rapport.
"I was the first one to turn around!" Second tactic: "I see your songs are all youthful and energetic, I'm sure you must have some songs about youth too. You're about the same age as my son, I can play with you both, and then you can teach me how to get along with my child. My son isn't as obedient as you! I also know a lot of people in the industry, you must have heard about my relationship with Wang Fei, right? At your age, you probably like Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, like Jay Chou, I can even introduce you to some, how about it?"
This series of small attacks is simply dazzling.
"Of course, you can choose other teachers, but they definitely won't like you as much as I do." In the end, Na Jie spoke from her heart, and it was her genuine thought. This kid is something else!
First kill! Double kill! Triple kill! Quadra kill! Penta kill! Team wipe! Hahahaha, game over, everyone was stunned.
This is going so fast! This is definitely the most intense talent battle in the history of The Voice of China! A bombshell in the first round, I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it!
“I have 32 concerts, and I’ll invite you to be a guest at every one. You can sing any original song you want and experience the feeling of being on a big stage. Besides, I also started out singing love songs, so we can get along like buddies. I’ll take you for a ride on a big motorcycle; young people definitely like thrills!” Yang Thirty-Two said defiantly.
"Why bother looking for Wang Fei when you know Jay Chou? I know him perfectly well, I'll take you straight there!" Harlin chimed in. "Look at me, I'm involved in many different musical styles. I see you have an unpredictable style too, we can make music together!"
"My style isn't fixed, you know!" Na Ying has always been very competitive. "Xiao Lin, where are you from?"
"I'm from Harbin."
"Look, I could tell you were from Northeast China as soon as I heard you! We're from the same hometown, what a coincidence! We can learn from each other often in the future," Sister Na said warmly.
Seeing that Sister Na was about to escalate the situation, Liu Huan quickly stepped in to take control: "You haven't even asked Qin Tian who his mentor is yet!"
That's true; the mentors' attention was diverted. Everyone was too excited today, and many of the usual procedures were skipped. So, which mentor did Qin Tian initially want to choose?
"What did I want to choose? I was just thinking that I was going to become famous! I didn't think about anything else! Okay? Who knew there would be a fourth promotion? I thought I would be lucky to get one promotion!" Qin Tian was still in a daze.
A confused tree bears a confused fruit, and beneath the confused fruit are you and me.
"If I were to specialize in music in the future, I would definitely choose Huan Ge. If I were to make movies, I would still choose Ha Lin, she has resources in Hong Kong and Taiwan! Although Taiwan is not as good as it used to be, it still has many years to go! Sister Na knows some people in the mainland music and film industries. Yang Sanshier is really loyal. Jin Zhiwen, just because he knew Yang Sanshier before, risked being criticized and supported Jin Zhiwen to become the team champion. Ping An's fans were criticized so much!" Qin Tian thought to himself.
"Before I went on stage, I wanted to choose Teacher Harlin."
Upon hearing this, Harlin was instantly thrilled! She hadn't held out much hope, but now they were going to choose her? She immediately said, "Come to my team, and I'll tailor-make a song just for you!" The implication was clear: I've got your back!
“They can write it themselves!” Yang Thirty-Two teased from the side.
