The first time Yan Duo knew about Le Mingxiao's existence was at the first concert of the national tour of the Shouti Star Campaign in Beijing.

Starlight Media is a long-established entertainment company in China, and the company's way of selecting artists is nothing more than a few traditional methods, where talent scouts discover potential newcomers from the vast sea of people and train them, or select from outstanding students recommended by major art schools. Yan Duo has always had reservations about the emerging form of the draft, to put it bluntly, he will not deny the values of this form, but he will never allow his company to participate in any such form of planning, and the company will not sign up for artists who debut in competitions like guò. As for why the company finally broke the tradition, it started from half a year ago.

Half a year ago, because of the continuous rotation, he finally became ill from overwork, so he had to temporarily put down the work at hand and go to Europe to recuperate and take a vacation. In the days when Yan Duo left, the company was managed by his eldest brother Yan Zheng. It was in that half a year that his eldest brother, who had always been reliable, didn't know what kind of trick he was bewitched, and he actually poached a vice president from a company that specializes in planning and producing Zuò variety shows, and the first fire brought by the vice president was the reality show Star Battle.

The strength of Starlight Media is one of the best in China, with Yan Zheng personally in charge, the company will not be stingy with its investment in all aspects of the program, and the platform of cooperation, X Satellite TV, is also a leader in various local stations. Because of the Olympic year, in order to avoid the impact of the Olympic Games on ratings, major talent shows have chosen to suspend one after another, but the Star Voice Battle is a sword that has gone sideways, seizing the opportunity to become a standout among such programs that year. The program was broadcast in the Olympic Games, which attracted a lot of attention, coupled with the exciting competition system, the game was officially broadcast live on TV and hit a new high in ratings several times in succession, and several mentors took advantage of this to double their popularity, and a group of originally unknown young people also officially entered the attention of the masses because of this program.

When Yan Duo returned to the company after his vacation, the competition had already come to an end, and the company suddenly had more than 20 signed artists, and even began to prepare for a national tour.

At 7 p.m. on December 1, 2012, Beijing Capital Gymnasium, the first stop of the national tour of the Battle of Stars.

This is the first time that the top 10 contestants have gathered after the competition, and the days full of enthusiasm and inspiration have long passed, and it is undoubtedly the happiest for them to be able to stand on the same stage again with the brothers who have struggled together, and the audience sitting in the audience is also fans who have witnessed the growth of their idols, and it is undoubtedly perfect for them to be able to see their idols standing on such a big stage. The stadium, which can accommodate nearly 10,000 people, is full of seats, colorful light sticks and light signs gather into a brilliant starry sky, and fans scream wave after wave of idols along with their appearances, but they don't know that there is a pivotal figure sitting in the media area, and this person's words are enough to affect the future of their idols.

This person is naturally Yan Duo. To put it bluntly, this kind of platter-style concert is just to squeeze the fans' money for another round while the heat of the game has not subsided, which has no viewing value in Yan Duo's eyes, he didn't want to come, but it was not good to turn down Lin Chen's invitation. Lin Chen is one of the company's ace agents, a veteran of the two dynasties, and the artists brought out under her hands are afraid that even she can't remember how many there are. Back then, Yan Duo broke into the entertainment industry as an artist, in order to prove his ability, he insisted on not using the resources of his eldest brother, and when his career was just on the right track, he almost lost his future because of one thing, it was Lin Chen who pulled him and woke him up with a few words, and the first movie he made was also thanks to Lin Chen's recommendation. It can be said that without Lin Chen, there would be no Yan Duo's achievements in the film industry back then, so even if he took over Starlight in the future and became Lin Chen's top boss, he still gave three points to Lin Chen, so Lin Chen opened his mouth to invite, and he came. Of course, in fact, he also wants to know what are the merits of these little fresh meats, since everyone has signed them, they can't be left there as decorations.

Halfway through the concert, the atmosphere reached a climax, two teenagers on the stage played the electric guitar, roaring "Love When You Die" with their lives, and the screams of the fans in the audience were higher and higher, and there was a posture of not giving up on the roof of the gymnasium. Yan Duo took off his glasses, rubbed his somewhat tired forehead, and closed his eyes.

This is the best person who stands out from tens of thousands of people? Not to mention the stage experience, the out-of-tune is simply trivial, and the big-eyed boy on the right with embarrassed eyebrows, Yan Duo even suspects that he will tear his throat.

That's why Starlight never signs talent artists. Most of them have the problem of lack of stage experience before the competition, some even have zero experience, and some of the contestants are from the grassroots, without professional training, just a few months of competition, under the careful packaging of the program team, suddenly gained a large number of fans, at first glance, the scenery is infinite, but it is just a virtual appearance. It's like a high-rise building without a solid foundation, no matter how gorgeous it looks on the outside, it will collapse overnight. It has been said that the most glorious moment in the life of most show stars is the short time when they compete, and this is not without reason.

Yan Duo shook his head and was about to put his glasses back on, when suddenly a clear voice came into his ears.

Deep in the spring of the creek,

Thousands of green willows,

I don't remember where I came,

Heart to the bright moon,

Whose family is Bian Zhouzi tonight......

Yan Duo was slightly stunned, forgetting the action he wanted to perform. This song "Floating Thousand Mountains Road" was born in the eighties of the last century, and even in that era, it was not a hit, and I can't imagine that there are still young people today who will know such an old song. He put on his glasses, looked up, and followed the song.

The owner of the song stood on a high platform on the right side of the stage, a young man who looked to be eighteen or nine years old, with a white shirt and black tie, and a simple outfit that set off a clean temperament. His facial features and expressions can be clearly seen on the big screen, and he can still sing an old song quietly in such a noisy occasion, Yan Duo admits that he admires him for having such courage.

"His name is Le Mingxiao. Lin Chen, the ace agent who was sitting next to Yan Duo, spoke, "The music of music, the dawn of dawn, everyone likes to call him Le." ”

"Lele?" Yan Duo's gaze was still on the young man's body, and he suddenly smiled, "That's not a panda?"

"Don't say it, this kid is really a fellow panda. Lin Chen also laughed, "I came out of the Chengdu Division, a top student of Sichuan University, and my mother taught piano at the university, so I have been studying music since I was a child, and it can be regarded as a family history, and I spent a lot of effort to dig it up." ”

“…… Chengdu?" Yan Duo turned his head, glanced at Lin Chen, and turned his gaze back to the stage again. Different from the slightly hoarse mezzo-soprano of the original song, the boy's voice is gentle, his voice is clean and clear, and there is a faint warmth in the jerky.

The end of the swallow in the late spring,

The grass is young and the old is old,

The prosperity of the water has passed,

The world is close to the Thousand Mountains Road......

At the end of the song, thunderous applause and cheers resounded throughout the venue, and the teenager on the high platform opened his arms and enjoyed the moment of glory that only belonged to him.

"I'm glad that everyone can come to the Beijing stop of our national tour of Xingsheng Group," the cheers continued for a long time, the young man held the microphone, and Lang Lang said, "Then in order to repay everyone's enthusiasm, I have also specially prepared a gift for you......" The young man walked down the stairs and followed him to the center of the stage, where a black piano had already been placed.

"Hey, is this the gift?" With the young man's words, the audience cheered again, the young man bent down to lift the piano, and then frowned slightly, "Oh, it's a pity that I can't lift it, what should I do?"

"Dismantle the piano!" In the sigh of sighing, I don't know who shouted, which caused the audience to burst into laughter, and the young man on the stage also laughed, Yan Duo noticed that he had a pair of very bright eyes.

"Otherwise, I'll sing another song to compensate everyone, okay?"

"Okay—"

"Come on, Lele!"

"Brother Tuan, we love you!"

“……”

What kind of nickname is this? Yan Duo couldn't help laughing, and the corners of his lips curled up again, but looking at the young man's childish face, there was really a little bit of a lump.

In the cheering of the fans, the boy sat down in front of the piano, adjusted the microphone, and said: "A simple song for you, I hope you can live a life with a simple mood." ”

The smooth sound of the piano sounded, Yan Duo raised his head, and from the big screen, he could clearly see the young man's slender ten fingers flying and jumping on the black and white keys, playing smart notes.

The world is complicated,

Confusing what I want to say,

I don't understand too complicated grammar......

Compared with the first song "The boy doesn't know the taste of sorrow", this simple song is obviously more suitable for him, the clean voice makes people quickly immersed in his singing, Yan Duo leaned on the back of the chair, and the two fingers of his right hand and the melody were gently tapped on the armrest, Lin Chen's voice suddenly sounded in his ears again: "Mr. Yan, what do you think of this child's qualifications?"

"Not bad. Yan Duo replied, "The voice condition is excellent, the basic skills are solid, and the appearance is also passable, the style is somewhat similar to Qiao Zhongjia, and the singing style is also similar to ......."

"Let you say it again, this kid is indeed an idol of Qiao Zhongjia. ”

"No wonder. Yan Duo smiled and said, "Newcomers, at the beginning, they always have to go through the stage of imitation, and it will take a certain amount of time to explore whether they can form their own characteristics. This Le Mingxiao's overall condition is above the level, as for whether it is a manufacturable material......" he glanced at it and said, "It remains to be seen." “

Well, the night didn't seem so bad either.
