Chapter Fifty-Eight: Desperate Uncle Liang
The bus passed through the university town, and buildings of different styles flashed outside the window, because it was noon, so there were not many people on the bus, and Anran sat in the back of the car, holding the guitar and looking out the window, sighing slightly in his heart.
Chen Huan and Yu Yanqing, the two mentors, should be regarded as the best choice in terms of knowledge, ability in music production, and eager attitude towards him, especially when they think of Yu Yanqing's sincere words, An Ran can't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.
In the end, he quickly and decisively chose Wei Na, of course, it will not be the same reason as the joke of "the same hometown will be closer".
An Ran had carefully considered it when he participated in The Voice, although his body was only seventeen years old, but his psychological age was an uncle in his thirties, although he had been an actor and a small director in his previous life, and he had been doing it for more than ten years, and he had never sung on stage again in these ten years, but his heart loved the most, studied the most hard, and he couldn't give up singing.
So although he has faded out of the music scene later, in the more than ten years he has been an actor and director, he has studied at several universities such as the Zhōngyāng Conservatory of Music, and it is not the kind of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.
Because of the singer plot in his heart, he spent almost all his spare time on music coursework, and it can be said that he is really serious and meticulous.
The style of several mentors of The Voice has long been clear to An Ran: Yu Yanqing's composition is first-class in China, Chen Huan's teaching ability is the best in the music world, and the two are also known for being good at training singers.
Although Lei Kun was born from the grassroots, he has his own unique understanding and tricks in the emotional expression and appeal of singing.
Enron's chosen mentor, Wei Na, will only be stronger than Lei Kun, and compared with the first two, at least on the surface, it is really not Enron's best choice.
But after careful analysis, this is not the case at all, what Chen Huan can teach, An Ran has almost learned in his previous life, what is lacking in this life is only actual combat and experience, and Yu Yanqing's composition, for An Ran, who is full of classics in his previous life, can be regarded as dispensable, can only be icing on the cake, and cannot play the role of sending charcoal in the snow.
Lei Kun...... An Ran has never considered that what this mentor has, Wei Na has all, and each of them is a cut above Lei Kun.
Wei Na, who has gone through more than 20 years of ups and downs to have the status of a diva, how can she really be as "useless" as she seems on the surface, in terms of stage singing experience, Wei Na has dozens of large-scale performances almost every year, and there will be a global tour every three to five years, which is beyond the reach of the other three combined, especially Chen Huan, who has gradually retreated into the background in recent years, except for the occasional singing voice in a good voice, he can no longer be seen in almost all large-scale performances.
In terms of singing skills and singing skills, not to mention, how can Wei Na's titles like "Asian diva" and "big sister in the music world" come for nothing, not to mention the seven-star superstar status of TT music with a total of 100 million downloads, it is not a strong wind.
If you want to talk about shortcomings, although Wei Na is also obvious, in terms of teaching students, she is really worse than Chen Huan, but just like what she said countless times on the Voice stage: "Although Sister Na can't teach well, Sister Na has many friends in the circle, let's say, what kind of teacher do you want?" ”
Moreover, who doesn't know that Wei Na's current husband is a well-known gold medal producer in the music world, and he comes from a mom-and-pop shop.
So compared to this, Wei Na's so-called "short board" is actually not a problem, but she values the "actual combat" experience more, and wants to get the safety of stage singing guidance and personal relationships, so she naturally chose Wei Na instead of the other three.

Shanghai.
Sun Mingliang avoided his wife and daughter, and hid in the bedroom alone and smoked depressedly.
On September 1st, that is, when the school started safely, Sun Mingliang and his wife Liu Mei immediately rushed to Shencheng as soon as they heard the news that their father-in-law was seriously ill and hospitalized.
After giving up singing in his twenties, he, like his old brother An Zhiyuan, did not completely leave the music industry, but one chose to return to his hometown to open a small video store, while the other ran a brokerage company.
This thing is also somewhat related to The Voice, the first stop of the Voice blind audition was in Shencheng, when Sun Mingliang went to the scene, although the competition could not be compared to those big companies in the circle, but the high-standard and high-quality stage of The Voice, even among the singers who were unsuccessful, there is a lot of room for development in the future.
What's more, the main direction of his agency is large-scale performance projects, the threshold is relatively low, and the requirements for the reputation and level of the singer himself are not so harsh.
But Sun Mingliang didn't expect to see his old rival in the audience, Zhao Tianheng, chairman of Tianheng Brokerage Company.
Sun Mingliang's Huaxia Brothers and Zhao Tianheng's company can be said to have more than ten years of grievances and grievances, the two companies are both in Yanjing, the same in the university town, and the company's business is also based on the surrounding university town and other large and small performance projects in the capital.
Over the years, with the connections left by the previous generation, Sun Mingliang and Tianheng Company, which has stronger financial resources, have also fought on a par, without taking any advantage, but also not suffering any losses.
But when he saw Zhao Tianheng chatting happily with several unsuccessful singers outside the studio of Shencheng TV, a sense of imminent crisis arose in Sun Mingming's heart.
Judging from his many years of experience, even if those singers are unsuccessful, they are actually only a line behind those singers who have passed the blind audition.
There are even some people who will lose the selection only because they don't play well on the spot, choose the wrong song and other low-level mistakes, so it can't be said that they are worse than the singers who passed the first round in terms of singing skills and future development space.
It stands to reason that these singers who obviously have a fight in the future will not sign a small company like them, but if it is under Zhao Tianheng's money offensive, I am afraid it will not be a problem.
Just as Zhao Tianheng knows Sun Mingliang well, Sun Mingliang also knows Zhao Tianheng's details very well.
This old rival of the same age as him, when he and An Zhiyuan were still traveling north and south, chasing the unattainable dream of being a singer, Zhao Tianheng, who was in his twenties, was already the project leader of a company in the industry, absolutely young and promising.
Later, after paving the relationship and saving enough capital, Zhao Tianheng became a dúlì portal, and in just a few years, he managed a small brokerage company.
When Sun Mingliang also entered this industry, at the beginning, Huaxia Brothers definitely needed to look up to Tianheng Economic Company, but with some connections left by two generations of officials in the family, and Sun Mingliang himself was not a dou who could not be supported, after ten years of development, Huaxia Brothers was finally able to barely sit on an equal footing with Tianheng today.
Although Yanjing is big, there are so many fixed performance projects every year, not to mention small performances, and everyone does not rely on these small projects to live, the focus is on several large-scale galas and music festivals, in order to get these big projects, more than a dozen companies almost broke the head.
Whether it is Huaxia Brothers or Tianheng, they have not formed a monopoly in the market of Yanjing and the surrounding Hebei Province, and there are still four or five peers who can fight with them, and in terms of economic strength, they are not weaker than Tianheng at all, and in terms of relationship background, they are not inferior to Sun Mingming.
Over the years, you have chased me, and all kinds of methods have emerged in an endless stream, others don't know, but Sun Mingliang himself is really tired and exhausted.
Whether it is a major audio-visual group, or a small downstream company like Huaxia Brothers and Tianheng, singers and artists are always the core of a company's development, as long as the opponent strengthens one point in this regard, then he will inevitably be three points behind, or even more.
This is also the reason why Sun Mingming, who was empty-handed in the first stop of the blind audition of The Voice, had a sense of crisis and extreme depression when he saw Zhao Tianheng playing a silver bullet offensive and gaining a lot.
Contestants who have participated in The Voice, even if they do not pass the blind audition, will still have a sparkling label of The Voice compared to other grassroots singers.
And some outstanding singers have been praised by Chen Huan and other mentors, whether polite or sincere, in short, they are much better packaged and publicized than those grassroots singers who are unknown, and it is easier to quickly accumulate fame.
Moreover, among these unsuccessful singers, one-star and two-star singers are not uncommon, and their own fame and strength are particularly precious in the eyes of Sun Mingliang, Zhao Tianheng and others.
If it was just that, Sun Mingliang would not be so depressed for a while, but as the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, when the assistant who was far away in Yanjing called and reported in a panicked tone that several pillars of the company had all jumped to another company in just a few days, Sun Mingliang was really struck by lightning at that moment.
It is not enough to make it worse than it is enough to describe his current predicament, Sun Mingming, who is smoking cigarettes one after another, is simply dripping blood in his heart, thinking about it with his heels, Sun Mingliang can think of who did this.
Shrunk in the sofa chair with a shrunken face, Sun Mingming's eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, he no longer had the mood to guess how generous Zhao Tianheng had spent to poach the "big-name" singers and artists in the company.
At this moment, after 20 years of ups and downs in the business sea, Sun Mingliang, who has always been optimistic, felt deep despair for the first time.
In the entertainment industry, even if it is downstream, it is not a place to keep secrets at all, not to mention that Zhao Tianheng has done such a major event that is enough to comfort his life, he will inevitably make a big publicity, maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, I am afraid that the entire Yanjing circle should hear the news.
Sun Mingliang let out a long sigh and took out another cigarette, he could fully imagine that if no miracle happened, after this experience, the Huaxia brothers, who were greatly injured, would probably sink completely.
Filled with smoke, Sun Mingming's eyes were foggy, as if he saw the two young figures again, on the overpass, in the subway, in the underpass, and even at the construction site, despite all kinds of white eyes and ridicule, the two still resolutely walked all the way.
The Huaxia Brothers was the name of their duo back then......
