"Snapped".
With a soft sound, Jiang Kan placed the certificate of honorary professor issued by the Grand Conservatory of Music on the bookcase in the living room, then stepped back and examined it with satisfaction.
Next to it, there is another two-palm-sized membership certificate of the Xiaguo Opera Artists Association, mounted on a small acrylic stand, shining in the reflection of the sun.
"Ha, I never dreamed that I, Jiang, could become a professor in this life?"
He chuckled, pinched his clean-shaven chin, and shook his head slightly.
"Oh, I didn't expect that I had the title of Honorary Professor of the Magic City Conservatory of Music before. I almost forgot..."
Thinking that his other certificate was still at home in Chengdu, a very fulfilling sense of honor suddenly filled his heart. Chinese website
"So, I still owe you a lecture..."
Because the system hasn't released any tasks recently, I haven't had the opportunity to get any piano music. Although I practice every day, I haven't improved as quickly as the teachers who provide virtual teaching in composition.
"Jingle Bell!"
As he was admiring his two certificates with satisfaction, his cell phone suddenly rang on the coffee table.
"Hello? Xiao Zhang, haha, good afternoon, what can you do?"
He sat back on the sofa and made a phone call in a comfortable position.
"What? Zhao Yu's assistant contacted you and asked if I had time to sing a new song together? Also asked if I really wanted to form a group together for fun?"
Jiang Kan was shocked as soon as he answered the phone. The queen of love was really not just a joke. She really wanted to form a group with him?
I thought she was joking with me before!
This time, the formal contact was made through her and her agent?
"Hey, I really haven't thought about it...but it sounds interesting. Has she got any good songs recently, is it suitable for a male-female duet?"
Jiang Kan asked curiously. After all, she had said before that if there was a song suitable for men and women to sing together, she would invite herself to join. What good song did she get?
"Yes, her assistant said that she will go to Shanghai to hold a concert recently, and there happens to be such a song that she wants to invite you to sing with. If you don't agree to form a group, you will be the guest. If you agree to form a group, you can take advantage of the opportunity. Make an announcement and then formally extend this invitation to you and see what you think about it?”
Zhang Lingling also had a bit of curiosity in her words. She also wanted to know what Jiang Kan would choose.
"Then... ok, she was so proactive in extending an olive branch after a day, and I also quite admire her straightforward and unpretentious character... Let's form a group, but what should we call it? , has she mentioned it?"
The chatter has reached this level, no matter how hard it is, it won't be better. Anyway, I actually admire her, so if you want to be together, just do it.
"Oh, you agreed? Haha, now there will be another bloody storm in the Xia national singing world, hahaha!"
"As for the name of the group...she did say that she's not very good at naming. Let's see if you have any good ideas..."
“Then let’s call it ‘Phoenix Legend’. "
Before Zhang Lingling finished speaking, Jiang Kan put forward his own suggestions.
That’s right, Phoenix Legend.
This has been mentioned many times by the system and is the most popular super-national group in this other world!
There are also two people, a man and a woman, and the previous "Over the Moon" was their work.
"Phoenix Legend? This name... uh..."
Zhang Lingling suddenly felt a heavy blow from the strong country rock style that came from the urban-rural fringe of the 1990s!
"Brother Kan... this name is good, but does it seem... too rustic?"
Zhang Lingling spent a long time choosing words before she finally came up with words that could express her own meaning without hurting Kan's simple nostalgic feelings.
"That's it, let her know how it feels first. If it doesn't work, let's change it, haha."
Jiang Kan didn't insist, he just mentioned it anyway, it was up to Zhao Yutong to agree.
"Oh well……"
Zhang Lingling shrugged helplessly, but Jiang Kan couldn't see her through the phone line.
"Then I'll help you apply for this performance, right? She may send over the songs she wants to sing in the next two days, and I'll contact you then."
"Crack."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Kan threw it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, feeling a strange feeling fermenting in his heart.
"It seems that my music career is about to take another step forward."
he said to himself.
Wang Yuchang's study went very smoothly. With Jiang Kan's knowledge points refined through virtual teaching, his understanding of composition has also been greatly improved.
And when he and Zhao Junping took class together for the first time, a little "joke" occurred.
It was the afternoon of a certain day. Zhao Junping completed the day's work early and knocked on the door of Jiang Kan's specialist office with a notebook and pen as usual happily and expectantly.
But he saw that another young man of similar age to himself, but more handsome, tall and full of star quality, had arrived here before him.
"Ah? This...isn't this Wang Yuchang?"
Student Xiao Zhao stood at the door, looking a little surprised at Master and this big star sitting face to face.
"He came to ask the teacher to sing, right?"
This was his first thought, so he nodded politely to the teacher and Wang Yuchang, and turned around to exit the room.
"Hey, don't leave. Let me introduce you. This is your junior brother, Wang Yuchang."
Jiang Kan knew that he must have misunderstood when he saw him like that. He stood up with a smile and waved to him to come back.
"Okay master...what? Junior brother?"
Zhao Junping looked at Wang Yuchang in surprise. This was obviously a star who debuted last year and became popular this year! Although he is only in the second tier, he is already in the second tier at his age, so he will definitely have a bright future in the future!
How could such a big star become his junior brother?
He looked at his teacher in surprise.
"Haha, it's like this. Although Wang Yuchang is a singer, he has always longed to be a composer. When he was in college, he also chose to major in composition, but later due to some reasons, he temporarily stopped Let it go."
He patted the shoulder of Wang Yuchang, who had already stood up and stood respectfully next to him, and explained to Zhao Junping with a smile.
"Now he has picked up this long-lost dream again and comes to learn composition knowledge from me. Because he became a disciple after you, so he is naturally your junior brother. Your learning progress is faster than him. Before He’s also a professional composer, so I’ll take care of him more in the future!”
Jiang Kan said, putting one hand on his shoulder and the other on Wang Yuchang's shoulder.
"Xiao Wang, this is Zhao Junping who I mentioned to you before. He learned composition from me about two months earlier than you. You have to call him senior brother. You should also give more help to anyone who can help in the future. Get rid of him...Okay, you two senior brothers, let’s get to know each other.”
After that, he took two steps back to let the two of them formally get to know each other.
"Hello, senior brother! I have been hearing Uncle Kan talk about you for a long time, and today I finally met you in person! My little brother Wang Yuchang, please give me your advice in the future!"
Wang Yuchang never puts on that cold air in front of his own people, and now he is smiling and looking very sincere and natural.
This made Zhao Junping, who was still a little afraid of big stars, feel relieved. Suddenly there was a junior brother who was also a popular singer. This was something he didn't expect, but since the other party was so polite to him, it was okay, at least not If you put on airs in front of yourself, it will be difficult to get along with you in the future.
"Haha, junior brother, you don't have to be polite. I only became a disciple two months earlier than you. You
You are still such a popular star. From now on, don’t call me senior brother, just call me by my name. I’ll call you by your name too, so it looks more natural. What do you think? "
After all, his teacher is also a famous celebrity who has become popular recently. After studying with him for so long, he has gained some resistance, so Zhao Junping quickly calmed down and said to Wang Yuchang in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Ha, that's good. Let's just call each other by name. But a senior brother is a senior brother, so etiquette cannot be neglected. Let me salute you first!"
After saying that, without the other party reacting, he raised his hands and saluted Zhao Jun, bending his waist at a forty-five degree angle.
"Ah, this..."
Classmate Xiao Zhao didn't react at once, but he accepted the gift, so he hurriedly followed suit and bowed to him.
"Haha, you guys seem to be husbands..."
Jiang Kan looked at the two of them and couldn't help but want to blurt out, "It seems to be a husband and wife worshiping each other", but felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so he stopped abruptly, but it also made him laugh and feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, okay, you two are about the same age. You will also need to help each other in your studies and work in the future. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Master!" X2
Seeing the two people answering him respectfully, Jiang Kan felt that he finally had a bit of the old-school "grandmaster style".
He nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, now that you all know each other, let's talk about getting closer together later. Now let's continue with class. Please pay attention!"
Liu Yiliang's life was a little unhappy during this period.
Ever since he humbly gave "The Hard-to-Recite Sutra" to Jiang Kan, some leaders in Xinghai Entertainment had some opinions about him.
"This Xiao Liu, his career has taken off a little bit, so he took the initiative to give up an already popular TV series soundtrack! "Dragon" is a hit drama with a ratings of 4.5%. ! Do you really think that the company is developing so well that you use your style and give it to the enemy?"
Within Xinghai Entertainment, there are many such voices.
Therefore, an A-level song originally prepared for him in June was assigned to other singers by the angry leader, giving him a good cold treatment.
"Don't he like to promote his style? Then this time we will help him promote it and let him feel what it feels like to have no songs to sing!"
"puff……"
Lying on the large sofa at home, Liu Yiliang exhaled a breath of bad breath from his chest.
"Sister Gu, are they really planning to withhold my songs from July?"
He turned his head and asked with a numb expression on his manager Gu Weiping, who was looking at him with a worried expression.
"Yes, they said that unless you take the initiative to apologize to the boss and compensate the company for the loss on this song, the songs for each month in the future will be withheld from you. The original words are, "Don't he like to promote style? Then this time we will help him promote it and let him feel what it feels like to have no songs to sing!"
Gu Weiping spread his hands helplessly and said.
She had been busy with something temporarily, but she didn't expect that her big-hearted client would be deceived. As soon as she heard that Jiang Kan wanted to sing the song, she gave in immediately.
Who would have thought that "Dragon" would become this year's hit TV series as soon as it was aired, with ratings soaring to 4.5%, and the song's downloads already exceeding five million times, which made the company's top leaders so angry that their livers ached. , if he had not let that "Hard to Recite Sutra", all the honors Jiang Kan has received now would have been his, and the company could have followed suit and invested more resources in him, pushing him to the level he had been thinking about for several years. A superstar who has never reached the stage of success!
So it's not just a case of missing five million downloads and sales.
It’s also about a singing superstar who could have been born fresh!
Liu Yiliang and Xinghai Entertainment have been working hard for this superstar position for two consecutive years!
In the past two years, he has had a song that has been downloaded more than 10 million times.
single.
Moreover, his songs have been downloaded more than 20 million times in both years.
As long as one more single is released this year with over 10 million downloads, the total downloads of all songs released this year will exceed 20 million times.
He can reach the status of "superstar" and become the first new superstar in three years!
The last superstar to achieve such results was Jiang Kan's old acquaintance, Zhao Yu!
So, how can Xinghai Company not be angry?
A money tree flew away before my eyes.
Moreover, he personally gave away a song that could propel him to become a super-national IP.
Gu Weiping looked at Liu Yiliang, who was lying softly on the sofa with his eyes blank, and to be honest, he felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel.
She is also Xinghai's senior manager.
It took Liu Yiliang twelve years.
Originally, if Liu Yiliang really succeeded in becoming a superstar this time, she would definitely be credited by the company, and then her other agent, who had been competing with her for a long time, would be eliminated in the competition for the deputy director of the agency department. He overcame him in one fell swoop and ascended to the position of deputy minister.
She originally thought that after working with Liu Yiliang for so many years, she knew the other person's character and temper very well, and knew that he was not an impulsive young singer who was swayed by emotions.
But who would have thought that this time I was just on a business trip and had been away for two or three days, and this guy would actually do such a stupid thing?
What a mistake that will lead to eternal regret!
