Chapter 22 Let’s Set a Small Goal First
…
For Lu Feng, being able to worship Daolang as his master was definitely a pleasant surprise.
He had no reason to be unhappy.
In another time and space, after Lu Feng graduated from the music conservatory, he had not been able to make a name for himself, which made him have great doubts about his musical talent.
In addition, after his rebirth, he was bound to the profession of actor.
Therefore, he was not too obsessed with whether or not to be a singer in this life, he just regarded singing as a hobby.
This is a habit he inherited from his previous life.
Who knew that something like this would happen today.
Daolang, the top figure in the current Chinese music scene, came to his house in person and accepted him as his student!
He had never dreamed of anything so beautiful!
He vaguely felt that all this must be related to Reba.
She is her own lucky star.
"Lu Feng, this era no longer belongs to me. But this is your chance to realize your ambitions..."
Daolang was quite moved to accept Lu Feng as his apprentice.
At the same time, he was full of expectations for Lu Feng.
In the past two years, the fan base has changed a lot.
Before this, the fan base mainly consisted of migrant workers who listened to songs in Internet cafes, paid to download songs in urban villages, and successful people who listened to car CDs while driving.
In the past two years, the group of people who listen to music has begun to mainly consist of college students and young people who have just entered the workplace on Douban.
The style of Daolang's songs is a little incompatible with these fans.
In Daolang's opinion, the song "Guest" and Lu Feng's music style are perfectly suited to these emerging fan groups.
besides……
"I heard from Universal that there is a new singer named Yang Zongwei in Taiwan recently. He was selected through a talent show and has great potential."
"Ah Xin personally took charge and wrote a theme song for him. He plans to release his first album next year and hopes that he will become an instant hit."
"I've heard his singing style during the talent show period, and it's somewhat similar to your style."
"However, his greatest feature is that his husky voice is very recognizable, and his throat rolling sound is also good... However, this singing style has both advantages and disadvantages. It is generally very laborious for the voice, and his peak period will not last too long."
"Let me set a small goal for you first, surpass Yang Zongwei!"
Yang Zongwei graduated from university in 2007. He made his debut through a talent show this summer. In January next year, he shot to fame with the song "Onion" written and composed by Ashin.
Lu Feng didn't expect that Daolang had a keen eye and could discover Yang Zongwei, a little-known person, at once.
In the future, Yang Zongwei will be the king of singers in Taiwan and will be known as the tear-jerking god of singing.
The style of his song is very similar to the song "Guest".
Yang Zongwei is almost the ceiling in sad songs, is this still a small goal?
"Teacher, I am still far behind him."
Lu Feng still has some self-awareness.
Unlike acting, ordinary people cannot join the crew and have no chance to defeat the prototype.
Singing is a business where you can’t fake it. Even if Lu Feng copied, as long as he didn’t sing well, he would be slapped in the face by a cover singer. He would even be slapped in the face by passersby.
At this stage, his singing skills and vocal talent are definitely not as good as Yang Zongwei.
Although he is also at the professional level, he is still far behind the singing king contestants.
"That's why I want you to come to my studio and study systematically again to explore the potential of your voice as much as possible!"
"You have a good theoretical foundation, but you still lack practical experience. In this regard, I still have a lot to say."
"Don't worry, I've heard you sing. Although your vocal talent is not top-notch, you still have a lot of potential to be tapped."
"If I work hard, I can definitely surpass Yang Zongwei."
Daolang looked at Lu Feng's anxious and expectant expression, and suddenly laughed, feeling very good.
Daolang signed with Universal Music, but instead of helping him move to a higher level, Universal Music made his situation worse and worse, which was very depressing.
Universal's advantages, its brand value, its resources in business cooperation, its overseas distribution capabilities and channel capabilities, all of these are of no value to Daolang.
Later, he and his agent analyzed the situation carefully and concluded that Universal Music excels at creating idol-type urban folk singers.
For example, people like Li Zhongsheng!
Yang Zongwei is also very suitable for Universal Music's approach.
Daolang is not suitable for Universal Music.
Because he is already popular enough.
His fan base is too large, so it is impossible for him to transform.
Therefore, Universal's publicity advantages are meaningless to him.
Now it's ok...
Daolang himself is incompatible with the advantages of Universal Music, so he accepted an idol-type student like Lu Feng, who perfectly fits the publicity advantages of Universal.
In Daolang’s eyes, Lu Feng is Yang Zongwei PLUS!
He wrote "Guest" at the age of 18 and his singing skills are also good. Like Yun Duo, Lu Feng is also a genius among geniuses!
Besides, Lu Feng’s charm when he sang... He was really shocked when he saw it on TV last night.
He had never seen anyone so charming on stage!
If he had not seen Lu Feng singing with his own eyes, he would not have been so anxious to use his connections to find Lu Feng as soon as possible, and he would not have even lowered himself to come to his house in person the next day to accept this student!
In fact, he looked calm on the outside, but he was very anxious on the inside!
If such an excellent student was snatched away by someone else... he would definitely be depressed for a long time.
After all, Yun Duo had brought Lu Feng to his lips.
Before this, Daolang belittled Lu Feng in front of Yunduo, but it was just because he was protecting his child...
Now that Lu Feng has also become his student, he doesn't need to hide it anymore and can brag about it to others.
Daolang had a feeling as if he had dreamt back to 1,000 years ago.
He was a great frontier poet of the bold and unrestrained school, singing about "A lone smoke rising in the desert", galloping on horseback, and the setting sun as red as blood.
He casually accepted an apprentice, who turned out to be an idol poet of the graceful style, and wrote "If the love between two people lasts forever": The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world.
This damn sense of accomplishment came all of a sudden!
"Teacher Luo, thank you for thinking highly of our Lu Feng and accepting him as a student. We don't have anything good to offer at home... Here, I have a bottle of 10-year-old Samarkand, a famous local wine, given to me by a friend from Uzbekistan."
"Got some good wine? Haha, hurry up, let's celebrate!"
Daolang loves drinking and is nicknamed "Luo Sanwan" because he once drank three bowls of white wine at a dinner party and treated it as water.
Another time, the local winery gave him a bottle of fine wine worth 100,000 yuan. He drank and sang at the same time, just like a poet of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Daolang was naturally happy that he had accepted a promising student today.
Not to mention Lu Feng’s father, his son actually chose his favorite singer as his teacher. When he goes home for the New Year, he will definitely be the most envied person among relatives and friends!
Although Teacher Murati was an outsider, he was also very happy.
Because his daughter Reba was the first person to discover that Lu Feng was a genius!
