172 Talent & Sweat
"The third story. ↖ ↖ ↖ ↖ Anyway, I'm a teacher at Seoul National University and a movie actor, well, I'm also an entertainer who often appears in variety shows......" Yoon Hyun sorted out the atmosphere and then continued.
"Han Hyo-joo!" Someone in the audience shouted.
Everyone laughed. Yoon Hyun also laughed. Indeed, recently, there have been various unclear news between Yoon Hyun and Han Hyo-joo about whether it is a scandal or not......
"Well, that's the MBC show. I'm here today at the invitation of SBS, so ...... Let's not talk about it for now. By the way, the day before yesterday, I went to her house with Hyo-joo, and I met her parents......" Yin Xian inserted a little gossip in.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere was getting higher again.
“…… But I think everyone here knows me, mainly because of my status as a singer...... After all, I also debuted as a singer. Yin Xian cleaned up the atmosphere.
"Yes!"
"Since my debut, all the songs I've sung have been written by myself. It's not that I'm boasting, but the price of writing songs now is the highest in the whole of Korea. Yin Xian said lightly. So some people said that Yin Xian has a talent for writing songs......"
The students present had gradually understood what Yin Xian was going to say, so they didn't answer this time.
"What I'm going to tell you is how I started the process of writing songs." Yin Hyun said: "In 05 years...... Well, when I had just retired from the army, because of a small accident, I met a little girl who was a trainee at the time...... As for what the accident was, I won't say anything, so that someone won't have to go back to me and get into trouble. But she's already on the trip, and it's okay......"
"And then because of this girl, I got to know more people, including T-Ara Sapphire and Juli. And then because they have a good relationship with my sister. I used my summer vacation to drive them to the interview sites. Then, at an interview scene, for the first time, I was accosted by a beautiful girl! When Yin Xian said this, he suddenly became very excited.
The classmates laughed.
"You see, I was twenty years before this. I've never been accosted by a girl, and that's the first time! And she's a very beautiful girl. Of course, her pick-up skills are really not very good...... She asked me if I was an agent, I said no, she asked me why I had come to the interview site so many times but not once, I said I came with a friend...... Anyway, although the skills are not very good, but she succeeded in accosting her......" Yin Xian sorted out his excitement and continued.
The students' laughter was even louder. It's not a good conversation at all. Just a misunderstanding......
"During this period, Ju Li came back from the interview, and saw that I was chatting happily with a strange girl, so she was very curious to ask me what was going on, and I told her that I was accosted by a girl, and then she naturally refused to believe it......" Yin Xian looked sorry.
"Then, I retorted, saying that you don't like my style. Then there must be someone you like, and she said what is your style......"
"Gangnam style!" The students replied neatly for Yin Xian.
"Yes. Gangnam style. Yin Xian smiled and nodded, "At that time, there was such a melody circling in my head, and I thought, I want to write this." But I don't know anything...... What to do? Then go for it. So, I used the stupidest, but also the most familiar to me. The most effective method. "In the next five months, I read all the reference materials for the entrance exam for the composition department of Seoul National University, all the introductory books, and the textbooks for all the required courses from my freshman year to my senior year, a total of 103 books. Twice. ”
Yin Hyun held out two fingers.
The audience was naturally surprised.
"How many pages are there. How many words, I don't remember. Yin Hyun continued, "Then I started practicing according to the book. Then two months later, I wrote my first song......"
"Ode to Loveliness." Someone in the audience immediately answered.
"Yes, "Ode to Love", a song that is so simple that it is used as a joke." Yin Hyun smiled and nodded, "Since I started writing songs in '06, until yesterday, I did my mental calculations last night, and I wrote more than 700 songs in total. As for those who have only written half or a paragraph and then put it down, there are even fewer numbers. But how many of them are published? You've all seen it. ”
The audience was aware of Suosuo's voice.
"And among them, in order to write a song for a sister who is telling you my story today, I spent nearly four months forcing myself to write a song every day that matched the characteristics of her voice, and during that time, I was driven crazy by myself. But...... I persevered. Yoon Hyun said again.
Not everyone present knew the story that IU told in "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook", after all, it was the propaganda period at the time, and it was a bit of a moderate exaggeration, which is understandable.
But today, when Yin Xian told this story again, it was a completely different meaning.
Several female guests present looked at each other.
At this moment, they are all jealous of IU......
"The story is over, and I think that what I want to say should have been understood by everyone." Yin Xian clapped his hands and gathered everyone's eyes, "Many people say that other people's success is because he has that talent, he has that ability, how good conditions his parents gave him, and how much help his friends gave him...... In this way, you may not hear a lot now, but believe me, when you go into society and start to come into contact with this cruel world, there will be more such voices, so many that you can't avoid it, you can't let it, and in the end, even you yourself may be persuaded that I am not as good as him because my talent is not as good as his, and my family background is not as good as his......"
"What I want to say is, indeed, whether it is talent or family background, it will indeed have a great impact on our lives." Yin Xian nodded, "But the vast majority of us haven't worked hard to the level where we need to fight for talent!" ”
"Before, a well-known artist said that he wanted to learn to compose and write songs with me." Yin Xian remembered Kwon Bao'er, who mentioned this to him not long ago, "Then I told her about my own method of learning composition." And then? There is no then. ”
The classmates weren't laughing, they were just curious about who that person was.
"That's already a well-known hard-working artist in the whole of Korea, but in her opinion, I'm doing useless work, even though I did it. But I took a lot of detours. Yin Xian explained, "So she won't learn the way I did, and I didn't say anything about it, after all, she's much more talented in music than I am......
The students didn't know who Yin Hyun was talking about, but several artists present were stunned for a moment, and they all probably guessed who it was, and dared to say that they were more talented in music than Yin Hyun. Recently, he has dealt with him again, a diligent artist...... There is only Quan Baoer...... Kwon Bo-a plans to learn composition from Yoon Hyun? This news is a bit exciting!
But it seems that he was still scared off by Yin Xian's stupid learning method?
"I don't have that much talent, at least compared to her, I'm really not that talented." Yin Xian said very sincerely, "So I can only use the method that I think is the safest and the most stupid way to learn." I read all the books that might be useful, kept practicing, kept trying. In the end, I found a style that was acceptable to both myself and my fans. Or rather, I've achieved something somewhat. I believe that in this, what really plays a role is not talent, but sweat. ”
"So. Work hard, whether you're going to college or going to work, if you're lost and don't know what to do. Then, use the stupidest way to learn all the relevant things you can find, instead of judging what works and what doesn't. Once you've learned all the resources you can find, you'll know what you're needing. It's going to be tiring, but you have to believe that you have to work hard to get talented. Until then, please be very humble and sweat. ”
Yin Xian's speech came to an end here, and the audience also gave warm applause.
"Oh, by the way, I'll add one more example at the end. My student IU is known to everyone, right? Yin Xian had already planned to end his speech, but he remembered something.
"Yes!" The students, who had been about to stand up, suddenly fell silent again.
"When I first met her in '07, she couldn't finish a song at all...... For example, songs like "You and Me" have high requirements for breath. Yin Xian said very seriously.
"Also because of her young age, on the other hand, because her body is too weak, her breath is very poor, and because of this, there have been a lot of twists and turns in her trainee career. Then I forced her to move into my house and would drag her out of bed every morning and go for a run with me.
"It's been three years, and you should know her current singing strength. She's gifted. Otherwise, she would not have been admitted to JYP's trainee that year. But after becoming a trainee, her talent did not help her make a successful debut or become an artist. On the contrary, her dream of becoming a singer almost died like that. Moreover, even today, she is already a famous artist, her debut in Loen is actually not smooth......" said here, Yin Xian smiled.
"Iuxi has a talk today!" The audience gave Yin Xian a feedback.
"Oh, did she talk about it today? That's it. The current IU does not rely entirely on her talent, but on her persistence and hard work that does not give up. In fact, hard-working people tend to be more successful than gifted people. Because they know that they have nothing to rely on but sweat. Finally, this story is dedicated to everyone, I hope that when you are confused in your future life, you will remember it. Thank you!
