Chapter 55: Enron's Choice (I)
Chen Huan is a typical academic, before the age of thirty, all the advantages and faults of academic singers can be found in him: there is more theory, less practice, he can't fully express his feelings through songs, and he can't quickly attract and infect listeners.
When the singers of that generation were still young, Chen Huan, who was not good-looking, was not the most brilliant or the most famous, and at that time, his achievements were far lower than those of his peers.
When his career as a singer became bleaker and bleaker, even his teacher advised Chen Huan to turn to the background and be a producer in a down-to-earth manner, with his creative ability, at least he could support his family.
Therefore, every time some magazines and TV shows mention Chen Huan, they will happily talk about this allusion, if the thirty-year-old Chen Huan really followed the teacher's advice, then there would be no later "pop godfather" at all.
Chen Huan's past experience is clear in An Ran's mind, this nearly sixty-year-old big brother in the music world is definitely a milestone figure for Chinese music.
In this time and space, Western countries formed the prototype of current pop music in the twentieth century, rock, punk, country, pop...... The intermingling of various genres seems to have broken down barriers overnight, giving people a new understanding of singing, an innate form of human interpretation.
This emerging, more down-to-earth and more realistic interpretation has had a great impact on the Chinese music scene that still followed the majestic sound at that time.
With the gradual rise of Chinese pop music, the influence of Western pop music, especially English songs, has gradually weakened, but its position in the world music scene is still difficult to shake.
Nowadays, some people who are in their sixties and seventies, when they think back to that era, usually use "starlight" to describe the Chinese national song scene at that time.
As mentioned earlier, Chen Huan was not the most outstanding one in the group of new stars who pushed Chinese pop music into the world's top cháo stream, but the thirty-year-old Chen Huan refused the teacher's suggestion and resolutely left the school and ran around the country.
He worked as a wandering singer, begging in the underground passages, singing in bars, and singing for popular singers at the time...... It can be said that Chen Huan's music journey, in An Ran's view, is almost a realistic version of an inspirational drama.
It is fair to say that the fact that Chinese pop music has become the mainstream of the world is not the credit of Chen Huan alone, and there are two reasons why he is crowned the supreme glory of the "pop godfather".
One is the birth of TT music, Chen Huan's ten years of hard work finally showed terrifying results, in that era when the Internet was not developed and paid downloads were in the ascendant, Chen Huan became the world's first six-star singer in this situation, that is, the total number of paid downloads of all songs reached 30 million times!
Although later due to the technological innovation of the Internet, the rapid development of the whole society was promoted, from the ten-year generation to the later three-year generation, the style of the pop music scene is changing rapidly, Chen Huan has not made any breakthroughs in pop music because of the obvious traces of the times and the reason for getting older, and has maintained a seven-and-a-half-star rating.
But it is precisely because of this that Chen Huan chose to retire bravely and returned to campus to become a teacher, in the past 20 years, he has brought out students all over the world, and there are no less than ten popular singers who have reached six stars, which is the second reason why he was called the "Godfather of Pop".
……
An Ran spent less than a minute to go through Chen Huan's information in his mind, and carefully compared this big brother in the music world with the other three mentors, if you look at it according to the TT level, Wei Na and Yu Yanqing are also seven-star, Lei Kun is slightly weaker, but he is also a six-star red singer, at least in terms of popularity, the gap between several mentors is not big.
All he had to think about now was what each of these mentors could bring him.
An Ran was thinking about it, and after Chen Huan on the tutor's chair pondered for a while, he finally spoke: "You have excellent creative ability, there is no doubt about it, you were born in Royal Roads University, but you are not from the music department, so you can't be considered a pure academy."
You are only 17 years old, although you have excellent creative talent, but you still have some deficiencies in singing skills and skills, so, joining my team, I can let you make up for your shortcomings on the existing basis, so that you can go wider and more solid in the future, this is my sincere words. ”
Chen Huan didn't say much, but he was well-organized and serious, which not only affirmed An Ran's talent, but also pointed out the teachings he needed, so as soon as his words fell, there was a burst of applauding from the audience.
Yu Yanqing, who was originally leaping and jumping, after hearing these words, the excitement suddenly subsided a lot, in his mind, what Chen Huan said was completely reasonable, this little guy is only seventeen years old this year, even if he is extremely talented, but with his current age and experience, he really needs a famous teacher with a solid foundation, rich music theory, and extensive knowledge to teach, otherwise it is entirely possible that it will be another story that hurts Zhongyong, and among their mentors, Chen Huan is undoubtedly the most suitable.
Although Wei Na and Lei Kun didn't say anything, their expressions clearly showed their approval, and for a while, the warm atmosphere of the mentors just now who didn't give in to each other suddenly cooled down.
Han Yu, as a qualified host, watched coldly, of course he understood that in this atmosphere, it was time for him to stand up, "Okay, next it's Sister Na's turn, Sister Na has always been unwilling, especially when you meet your favorite player, what do you want to say to An Ran now?" ”
When Wei Na heard Han Yu's words, she pursed her lips, with a smile in her eyes, and looked at An Ran's eyes full of appreciation, "Although I agree with Teacher Chen Huan's words, but it is rare to meet such a little genius, I think I still have to fight, it's a pity to let it go in vain, besides-this is not my Sister Na's style!" ”
Wei Na raised her tone, and the audience at the scene was really so clear and laughed, and the atmosphere became warm again.
"An Ran is, I think you have seen the good voice in the past few years, what I want to say is that although I am not as knowledgeable and talented as Teacher Chen Huan, when it comes to teaching students, I definitely can't compare, but Sister Na can guarantee that she will definitely find a good teacher for you in the circle, and promise that it will not delay your growth, you will believe me, what are you hesitating about, come to me in the bowl!"
This is Wei Na's xìngzi, although she is very aggressive, but her charlatan who is a grassroots singer is very pleasing to the audience, and her words made the audience in the studio burst into bursts of laughter.
Lei Kun and Yu Yanqing were even more coaxed on the side.
