DAEYTT Chapter 035: I Have Nothing to Teach You...
Huang Tao isn't an exception! Other contestants in the rest area preparing to go on stage all feel immense pressure!
Huang Tao's assistant exclaimed in shock, "This Wang Qian is too strong. With this level of talent, he still participates in a talent show? It's bullying..."
Huang Tao agreed with his assistant's words. He felt like he was being bullied.
...
On stage.
Wang Qian calmly said to the four mentors, "Thank you, thank you for your affirmation."
Cui Wenfeng, sitting beside him, spoke first: "Is this song you wrote yourself? Have you debuted before? I mean, have you ever been in a band?"
Three consecutive questions.
Wang Qian shook his head earnestly, "No, I haven't officially debuted yet. I'm barely considered an independent singer for now. I just released a few songs on music websites a few days ago, and all my music is self-composed, including this song."
Cui Wenfeng nodded and didn't speak anymore, his eyes full of admiration.
The reason he asked first was that he really liked this rock song. He came from a rock background and wanted to know if Wang Qian had played rock before.
The answer he got: No!
Cui Wenfeng stared at Wang Qian, liking him more and more, as if he was looking at a treasure.
Qin Han hurriedly said, "Brother Feng, I was the first one to turn around. Don't snatch. Can I ask a few questions?"
Wang Jingyu and Liu Junhua sat steadily there, with a look of eager anticipation on their faces, but they didn't interrupt.
Wang Qian nodded, "Of course you can, Teacher Qin, you ask."
He saw He Dongming holding up a sign with the names of the four mentors, indicating their identities.
He Dongming put away the sign with a helpless look!
Zhou Qinghua, puzzled, asked, "He doesn't know these four mentors?"
He Dongming smiled bitterly, "Maybe. He didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry before, he was busy with entrepreneurship and business..."
Zhou Qinghua was speechless, looking at the stage through the camera lens.
Qin Han quickly asked, "Why don't you introduce yourself first? The confidentiality of this program is too good. Honestly, none of us four know anything about the contestants, including you."
Wang Qian was taken aback and thought the program was quite impressive. He immediately said, "Okay, my name is Wang Qian, male, thirty-one years old. I graduated from the Beijing Film Academy's Acting Department. I currently run two hot pot restaurants and work part-time as an independent singer. I've released a few songs recently."
The four on the chairs all wore puzzled expressions.
Wang Jingyu couldn't help but ask, "So, did you major in acting? Are you an actor? Not majoring in music?"
Wang Qian nodded, "Yes, I had vocal lessons when I was in school."
The four mentors looked at each other and could see the amused expressions on each other's faces.
Liu Junhua laughed, "Actors who can't make hot pot aren't good singers."
Wang Jingyu stared at Wang Qian's eyes and suddenly brightened, quickly asking, "Are you Qian Qian Junzi?"
Wang Qian nodded again, "My stage name as an independent singer is Qian Qian Junzi."
All four of them lit up, staring at Wang Qian.
Obviously, they all knew the name Qian Qian Junzi.
Clap!
Wang Jingyu clapped her hands, excitedly saying, "I just felt like I recognized you earlier, and your singing sounded familiar too. I didn't expect it to be you. I've watched your videos and listened to your four songs, I really like your music. Come to my team, let's collaborate, we'll be unbeatable!"
Qin Han hurriedly shouted, "Hey hey hey, Wang Jingyu, what are you doing? You're stealing my contestant, I was the first one to turn around. I also really like his songs, 'The Ordinary Path,' 'You of the Past,' 'Alive,' 'It's Not That Simple,' I've downloaded them all. In the past few years, there have only been a few good songs in the music industry. Wang Qian, come to my team, let's collaborate. I was the first one to turn around..."
Liu Junhua smiled, "Wang Qian, with your talent and ability, I think you could go straight to releasing an album and become popular. I welcome you to my team, we can just exchange ideas. I admit, I might not have anything to teach you, the only thing I can help you with is more experience."
Wang Jingyu and Qin Han both looked at Liu Junhua in surprise.
Because Liu Junhua raised Wang Qian's status a bit.
Liu Junhua is a true powerhouse, once known as the top singer in China's music scene. He still serves as a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music. His singing skills are unparalleled. Occasionally, when he teaches at the Central Conservatory of Music, the classroom is always packed, and people in the industry respectfully call him Professor Liu!
He said he couldn't teach Wang Qian?
Then which of the three of them dares to say they can teach Wang Qian?
Wang Jingyu: "Wang Qian, come to me! I have just as much singing experience as they do. Plus, we can collaborate on duets, male and female vocals sound better together!"
Well, she's using the advantage of being a woman. Otherwise, one might think...
Wang Qian looked at the four mentors starting to vie for him, pondering how to choose. However, there was still one who hadn't spoken yet.
Cui Wenfeng.
Cui Wenfeng had been silently watching Wang Qian all along. After Wang Jingyu finished speaking, he finally spoke up: "If you want to play rock, then come with me. You have strong skills, high talent, and amazing creativity. What you lack is experience. Each of us four has enough experience to impart to you, but the experience of playing rock is only available with me. If you want to play rock, come with me. If you don't, then don't bother, I don't want to hold you back."
The four mentors vying for him!
At this moment, the host finally arrived late to the stage.
Aji, wearing glasses and holding a microphone, walked up with a smile, "Oh, I'm a bit late, and the four teachers are already competing. Wang Qian, I also like your music, so how about our two teams join forces?"
Wang Qian: "Thank you..."
That's it!
Aji awkwardly smiled, "Looks like Wang Qian isn't interested in me. So, how will you choose among the four mentors?"
Wang Qian held the microphone and asked, "I want to ask the four of you. I plan to sing my own original new songs next. Can the four mentors accept that?"
Aji was surprised and asked first, "You mean, you'll sing your own new songs in every round of the competition?"
Wang Qian nodded affirmatively, "Yes!"
Aji: "Then I definitely accept. So far, every song you've released has been very good. Four of your songs are in the top ten of the new song chart, and I've downloaded them all, I really like them! 'Love Even in Death' is also so good. I'm looking forward to your next new song. So, mentors, can you accept it?"
Wang Jingyu spoke first, "I have no problem! I'm looking forward to it."
Qin Han: "I've been dissatisfied with the songs in the current music scene for a while now, I don't know what they're all singing. I really like your new songs, so of course I support you continuing to create. And I've written quite a few songs myself over the years, so I have some experience in songwriting that I can share with you..."
Cui Wenfeng stared at Wang Qian, "No problem!"
Liu Junhua: "Of course, I'm also looking forward to it."
Aji smiled, "See, the four mentors agree with what I was thinking. Of course, no problem, we're all looking forward to it. So, Wang Qian, the choice is still yours, one of the four... What's your choice?"
The four mentors all looked at Wang Qian with slight nervousness.
The first contestant is so powerful.
They all want to bring Wang Qian onto their team. With him on board, they won't have to worry later on. Even if they don't have other good talents joining, having Wang Qian ensures the baseline of their team. Even if they lose, it won't be too embarrassing. But if he performs well, they might have a chance to win.
All the other staff and audience in the venue were also looking at Wang Qian, waiting for his choice.
Wang Qian held the microphone, looked at each of the four mentors in turn, and finally settled his gaze on Cui Wenfeng. He said decisively, "I choose Teacher Cui. For now, I think rock is a lot of fun!"
Cui Wenfeng smiled and looked slightly proud as he glanced at the other three, saying to Wang Qian, "Good, this is the right choice."
Wang Jingyu's face was full of regret, "Oh my, Wang Qian, you didn't choose me..."
Liu Junhua: "Actually, I've released a rock album before."
Qin Han unwillingly said, "I was the first one to turn around, it was clearly me..."
Aji: "Okay, congratulations to Wang Qian for joining Teacher Cui's team. Please rest, Wang Qian, and now let's welcome the next contestant!"
Wang Qian bowed slightly to the four mentors again, said thank you, and then turned to walk offstage.
Huang Tao slowly emerged from the rest area, tidied himself up in front of the mirror, and under the urging of his assistant, took slow steps towards the stage entrance.
He really didn't feel like going anymore...
Starting off with someone getting all four mentors to turn around. What am I going to do...
