There are only two classes in the afternoon, and after class, you can go to participate in club activities if you have club activities, Wang Ou is from the school sports club, and you can go home if you don't participate in club activities. Many students in the third year of high school will apply for the college entrance examination cram school outside the school, and strengthen the practice to cope with the exam, especially the science class.

After school, Su Yuxi is going to Shanghe Records' headquarters in Lujiazui, which is headquartered in SH Landmark Financial Building. Su Yuxi is one of the trainees of Shanghe Records' upcoming idol program, the national girl.

This time and space Korea is far less developed than in previous lives. The economy, culture and entertainment are deeply influenced by China, and there is no soil for the development of K-POP. The entire Greater East Asia is ruled by Chinese culture, and the popular Chinese martial arts dramas, palace fighting dramas, and police and bandit dramas in neighboring countries such as South Korea, Japan, and Malay are all popular. And Chinese TV drama movie stars and pop singers are idols who are popular all over Asia.

The fans of China's first-line stars are all over the world. This year's No. 1 TV series in the world is Huaxia's 40-episode martial arts drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", starring Gu Dongliang and Chen Enna, who instantly became popular all over the world. It is said that Hollywood's latest blockbuster "The Amazing Spider-Man" plans to invite Gu Dongliang to star, and Chen Enna is even softer when she receives big-name advertisements.

At this time, pop music was almost dominated by powerful factions, and idol singers were not easy to sell records in addition to making money, so idol singers were not taken seriously. It wasn't until recently that Japan first launched a beautiful girl reality show AKB & Forty-Eight, which unexpectedly set off a wave of ratings in Asia, so King Records of Japan took the opportunity to release AKB48's album, which caused a huge response. Major record companies began to study idol groups.

Shanghe Records also began to prepare its own company's idol group and auditioned nationwide. In this time and space, there is no complete idol group training plan, and there is no professional system from practice to debut of Korean companies in the previous life, so the choice only depends on whether the appearance is sweet, and there are no requirements for singing skills and dance foundation, after all, for record companies, idol groups may catch a trend and make quick money.

As for the idol plan of Shanghe Company, due to the addition of Su Yuxi, it attaches great importance to it, but the investment resources are also very limited, because Shanghe Records is the base camp of the famous divas, and three of the four major divas of China are signed in Shanghe. Of course, these have nothing to do with Cheng Xiaoyu now, even if he has a thousand abilities, he is still the prince of Shanghe, and no one will take him seriously in this Chinese entertainment industry that pays great attention to seniority and seniority.

When Cheng Xiaoyu was hospitalized, he studied the pop music of this time and space in China, which is very similar to the most glorious pomp of Hong Kong's pop music in the first ten years in another time and space, but it is magnified and lasted many times. In this time and space, due to the existence of the Chinese Kingdom, the number of black Americans is quite far from the previous life, and the invasion of Chinese culture into the United States, so the influence of black music on world pop music in this era is not as great as in the previous life.

RNB (R&B including HIPHOP and REP) is still in its infancy, and REP (rap) is only spreading in the ghetto where a few blacks live. Hunter's Point, San Francisco, where Cheng Xiaoyu lived before returning to China, was a slum area inhabited by blacks, and racial discrimination in the United States at this time was not so strict, and there was no large-scale black people's movement problem because of the problem of quantity. On the contrary, the problem of racial discrimination in Huaxia is the strictest, because the political and social status is not high, blacks have held large-scale demonstrations, and Ma Dejin, an African-American Chinese who graduated from Tsinghua University, gave a shocking speech in the civil rights movement "Plum Blossoms and Dreams" in the eighties, but was ruthlessly suppressed, but since then, the status of blacks in China has improved a lot, and Huaxia has also passed a special racial discrimination bill. However, Chinese blacks still live at the bottom of society, and a lot of physical labor is borne by blacks. And black music is inextricably linked to the status of black people and the civil rights movement.

But this is not a good thing for Cheng Xiaoyu, a form of music has a long stage from germination to maturity, and in secular popularity. Take Dong Chou back then, the initial song writing was not ruthlessly rejected by the big stars, and it was considered to be a strange style, and even Wu Zongxian, who pushed him to make his debut, was reluctant to sing his song at first. And the world hegemon at that time, the United States, a cultural exporter, was already the world of RNB. At that time, there was no domination of the world's Chinese music scene, and the backbone Hong Kong and Taiwan music was still complacent, not to mention Huaxia, which boasted of being the superior country of the Celestial Empire at this time.

Cheng Xiaoyu also thought carefully about what he could do next, and came to the conclusion that in addition to taking the university entrance examination, honest study is the king.

The traversal is probably going to curse when they see this, damn, don't copy songs, copy books, make movies, and make a few big stars to play with you, wear a yarn! Cheng Xiaoyu was also a little helpless at this time, the RNB he was good at hadn't appeared in Huaxia yet, playing rock? At this time, Chinese rock was still only underground music, and it couldn't be on the stage. Copying songs and selling them for money? The classic pop songs of this era are not far behind, even if you copy a few songs and sell them to others for money, what's the point? How much money can I make? Besides, Cheng Xiaoyu's current living conditions are not short of money, not to mention that this does not belong to an era of singer-songwriters! If you want to write your own self-roll call and make a name for yourself, it's not as easy as copying a few songs.

Copying books is the easiest to succeed, but for him, the skill of coding words is really not as good as inheriting the family business, and he has not read a few novels.

Not to mention making movies, you can really make movies when you watch dozens of movies? No kidding, not to mention the funds, you know how to write storyboards? Do you know how to shoot images? Do you know how to light? Do you know how to record sound and how to finish the post-editing?

For any successful person, learning knowledge is a must, and there are no shortcuts. Admitted to the opera, went to Shanghe Records for internship after graduation, started from the grassroots level, and became a successful CEO, Niu B's musician is Cheng Xiaoyu's life plan. For him, this kind of life script is the most perfect. At present, the most important thing is the college entrance examination, and the most important step is to practice the piano well.

After school, Wang Huasheng picked up Su Yuxi to go to Shanghe headquarters, and Cheng Xiaoyu called Wang Huasheng to say that there was something wrong, and he would take a taxi home later. Then he went to the music teacher Ji Xin to borrow the piano room.

Cheng Xiaoyu only saw the head teacher in last year's office, and Wang Wei, a history teacher who was nearly 60 years old, was an old pedant. Before Cheng Xiaoyu asked about Ji Xin's whereabouts, he was lectured first. When I got Ji Xin's phone number, it was a little westerly.

In the small hall of the school, Cheng Xiaoyu found Ji Xin, who was guiding the school choir to sing "Ode to the Yellow River".

Cheng Xiaoyu waited until Ji Xin was free, then walked over and asked, "Teacher Ji, I am Cheng Xiaoyu who started talking to you on the phone." I'll come to you to see if I can borrow the school's piano room to practice. ”

Ji Xin is a standard Jiangnan girl, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, cherry lips, combing elegant low bun hair, wearing an apricot-colored long-sleeved lace shirt with a black one-step skirt, although it is not particularly tall, but it is better than the well-proportioned convex and backward curved figure, which looks extraordinarily elegant and demure. It looks like he is in his early twenties and young, but in fact, children in their thirties are in elementary school, and they are ripe for maturity.

Ji Xin felt strange that Cheng Xiaoyu transferred in the name of a music student. Even if he has good grades, it is difficult to enter Fudan High School without a little background, not to mention that he still drives a Ferrari, and he doesn't even have a piano at home, so no one believes him when he says it, so he asked, "You don't have a piano at home?" ”

Fortunately, Cheng Xiaoyu is also an old fritter who has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, and lying is also a set, and after a little hesitation, he replied, "My family opposes me studying music, they want me to learn economic management, but I don't think I want anything except the piano." After my mom passed away, music was the driving force behind my life! I must be admitted to the play! After saying it in a resolute tone, Cheng Xiaoyu also showed a sadness that wanted to speak and stopped.

Ji Xin is a woman who has been living in the ivory tower, she graduated from the music education major of China Normal University, and she also had the dream of being admitted to the opera alto in her heart, but unfortunately her level was limited and she was not admitted. I like to read bloody romance novels. Ji Xin immediately made up the conflict between the father and son of the big family, the vicious stepmother abusing her stepson and other plots, completely ignoring the fact that such a white and chubby figure did not match her fantasy of being abused. A kind of motherhood is born spontaneously, how can such a child who is persistent in music not be loved? Ji Xin said softly to Cheng Xiaoyu, "I understand, I understand." But the school has a piano room, which is where the classical music club activities. It certainly can't be lent to you. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't show a disappointed expression, he knew that there must be something to follow. Ji Xin took out his mobile phone and said to Cheng Xiaoyu while flipping through the phone book, "You wait, I'll find my teacher to find a way." As he spoke, he walked to the other side and made a phone call.

During this period, the choir chattered and did not stop, and Cheng Xiaoyu heard the laughter coming towards him more than once. He was not embarrassed, taking advantage of Ji Xin's absence, but looked at the choir students unscrupulously. After turning his gaze, he didn't find anything worth seeing, so he died down. Ji Xin came over and said to Cheng Xiaoyu with a smile on his face, "You are lucky, my teacher was transferred to the Fudan Art Department not long ago, and they only opened piano classes and dance classes this year. The students in the first class are in the art department, and the piano room is relatively empty now! Cheng Xiaoyu was overjoyed, before he got his piano room ready, there was a place to go, anyway, he didn't think about going to Su Yuxi's piano room.

Cheng Xiaoyu immediately bowed to Ji Xin and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ji!" I will work hard to practice the piano well and not disgrace you. ”

Ji Xin smiled and thought that this child was still quite sensible, not at all like a gentleman, and said with concern, "But the piano room is to be rented, if you have financial difficulties, I will help you first!" ”

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know that Aunt Zhou had already equated herself with the vicious stepmother in Ji Xin's heart, revealing a bright smile, "It's okay, I still have a piggy bank at home!" My mom left it for me. ”

Ji Xin thought of the girl who had just entered the first grade, and was even more moved, and suddenly felt that this little fat man was so cute even the acne on his face, and saved Cheng Xiaoyu's phone and told him, "No matter what trouble you have, call Teacher Ji, and Teacher Ji will solve it with you." It's really not good, Teacher Ji told your parents! ”

Cheng Xiaoyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't, I'm afraid that if you go, there will be no way to complete your dream." Ji Xin sighed when he heard it.

Ji Xin originally planned to give Cheng Xiaoyu her teacher's phone number for him to contact herself, but at this time, the overflowing maternal love made her can't help but fall in love with Cheng Xiaoyu. told the head of the troupe to take the choir to practice, and personally took Cheng Xiaoyu to the Fudan Music Department to find a teacher.

Since the SH planning at this time was very good, it was not like the Fudan division of several campuses in the previous life. Fudan High School is next to Fudan University. From the back gate of Fudan High School, across the path is the north gate of Fudan University.

Cheng Xiaoyu followed Ji Xin to the Fudan Music Department to find Ji Xin's mentor, the silver-haired Professor Hu Weilan. Cheng Xiaoyu waited outside the door of the professor's office, and he didn't know what Ji Xin said to Professor Hu Weilan, but he just saw Professor Hu patting him on the shoulder kindly and telling him to practice the piano well, if there is anything he doesn't understand, he can ask her. Then Professor Hu called a middle-aged man and told him to rent a piano room for Cheng Xiaoyu. Cheng Xiaoyu politely said goodbye to Professor Hu and Teacher Ji, and then followed the middle-aged man out of the office.

Under normal circumstances, the university piano room is not rented to students from other schools, and there are free piano rooms for students of the school to practice. Although Cheng Xiaoyu can barely be said to be half a Fudan person, don't think about it for free, and besides, he doesn't care about the two money.

The Fudan Art Department has not yet been upgraded to a college, but the art major is currently booming, and it is planning to upgrade to a college. The piano rooms are all newly repaired, and the condition is quite good. Cheng Xiaoyu chose the most expensive one, and it was only 35 yuan an hour. The piano room is not large, and there is no grand piano for Cheng Xiaoyu to practice. Cheng Xiaoyu only felt Steinway yesterday, and today he can only use the domestic Pearl River vertical Kaiserburg UH130A.

Cheng Xiaoyu tried the feel first, and found that this Pearl River is better than expected, although the feel is heavier, the timbre is deeper and not bright enough, but for a piano at this price, you really can't ask for more. Cheng Xiaoyu played Yamaha U5 before, and in terms of acoustic quality, it was not better than this Pearl River. As for the touch, reflection and sensitivity of the keys, this is really a matter of opinion, and the adaptation is different depending on the habit. For example, China is accustomed to heavier keys, while the United States generally prefers lighter ones.

Cheng Xiaoyu first played Hanon for 20 minutes, then played Bach's 12 equal laws for more than an hour, and finally did a finger dexterity exercise, playing Czerny 840. Piano practice is not such a passionate thing as ordinary people imagine, and only those who have experienced it know that it is boring and boring. In fact, most things in the world are like this, for example, you think playing computer games is interesting, but if you play the same game for at least three or four hours a day, without interruption every day, how many years can you keep going?

All the success in this world does not come from chance, we can always only see the glory of the successful person and sigh his luck, but never look at how long he has been dormant, how long he has endured, and how long he has persevered.
