Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 34: Giving a Man a Fish is worse than Teaching him to Fish
At this time, Zhao Yawen was sober and low-key.

Yesterday Wu Lan personally called her to the office, besides encouraging her, she also told her to be humble and cautious, not to accept interviews from Yuji casually, and not to run around casually.

Everything is arranged by the company, you just need to sing with peace of mind.

Today, Tang Guang yelled at her for a treat, so he had no choice but to come to the fast food restaurant for dinner.

"Thank you! But Mr. Wu said that if I'm not allowed to drink, I'll replace the wine with water?" Zhao Yawen said, then picked up the mineral water bottle and touched Tang Guang's beer mug.

Wu Lan also told her to drink less sugary drinks so as not to gain weight easily and to maintain her figure, so she had no choice but to give up her favorite cola and drink pure water.

At this time, a few boys and girls suddenly came to the fast food restaurant. When they saw Zhao Yawen who was eating, a girl suddenly cried out excitedly.

"Oh, isn't this the young lady who sang Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain?"

"Yes, it's her! Zhao Yawen!"

"Wow, I didn't expect to meet my idol here. I want to sign an autograph!"

Immediately, Zhao Yawen was surrounded by several fans and took a group photo. Zhao Yawen naturally complied with his request.

"Miss, is he your boyfriend?" Suddenly a girl asked curiously when she saw Tang Guang sitting on the side.

"No, no, he is my colleague." Zhao Yawen quickly denied it.

At this time, Tang Guang also stood up and said that she and I were colleagues, singers under Jinye.

"Oh, I recognize you, Tang Guang! You sang the rock song "The Final Countdown"!" A handsome boy with an earring said, "But I don't like rock, I still like it Miss Yawen sang Bai Suzhen."

Tang Guang had no choice but to shut up and sit aside.

When a group of fans finally left to order food, Zhao Yawen whispered to Tang Guang, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Yawen, you are popular now." Tang Guang said with a smile.

Zhao Yawen's little face was flushed with excitement. Since she sang this song, her fans have skyrocketed, and now it has reached a record 80. At this rate, it will soon surpass 100 million!
More importantly, the company is already preparing a new solo album for her.

Opportunity. I have to firmly grasp it.

"Tang Guang, I want Teacher Yu to help me write another song." Zhao Yawen whispered her thoughts.

"Difficult." Unexpectedly, Tang Guang shook his head: "After Mr. Yu sang the song "The Final Countdown" to me, I also had the same idea, but he refused."

"why?"

"He said that my creative potential has not been fully tapped, and it is best to write it myself."

Zhao Yawen sighed and asked again: "Then what if Director Wu asks him to?"

Tang Guang's face became serious.

"Director Wu is his boss. Teacher Yu has to listen to what she says, but you'd better not pressure him through Director Wu. Dare I say, have you seen Ai Tong? Don't look at her now. Teacher Yu asked her to transform her No, I dare say that this is the last time Teacher Yu will write a song for Ai Tong!"

"Oh, I see." Zhao Yawen was thoughtful.

But Zhao Yawen still decided to try Yu Dongqing.

After get off work in the afternoon, Yu Dongqing and Luo Yun had just left the gate of the company building when they saw Zhao Yawen standing on the street opposite the square from afar.

Zhao Yawen saw Yu Dongqing, waved to him, and walked over.

"Holly, I'm looking for you." Luo Yun smiled.

Under the sycamore tree on the side of the street, Zhao Yawen walked up to Yu Dongqing, first expressed her gratitude, and then asked, "Mr. Yu, can you help me write another ancient song like this?"

Yu Dongqing looked at her, pondered for a while before saying, "Have you ever heard the story that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish?"

"What do you mean?"

"Since you want to take this path, I still suggest that you calm down, get a solid foundation of basic skills first, and study opera well, including opera scores, singing, stage performances, etc.

"Besides, you have composed songs before, and after studying, you also try to write similar songs yourself, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Yawen was silent.

Seeing the girl like this, Yu Dongqing thought for a while and said:
"Of course, it's more difficult to go this way. If you feel that you can't go on and want to sing now, I can also write another song for you, but don't come to me in the future."

Zhao Yawen's face was cloudy and cloudy, and it was obvious that she was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

After a while, as if she had made up her mind, she looked up at Yu Dongqing:
"Mr. Yu, I'll listen to you. I'll go to Director Wu right now and ask for advanced training!"

"Go." Yu Dongqing smiled.

When the girl walked away, Luo Yun, who had been silent just now, said, "Holly, are you fooling a little girl? I heard that the company is going to release a new CD for her while the iron is hot. You are good, let her go to study. Now that the competition in the music industry is so fierce, what should we do when the enthusiasm for the girl training session returns?"

"I don't deny that there is such a risk." Yu Dongqing replied lightly: "But if you want to go long-term, you must lay a solid foundation. This girl has great potential. I think this risk is worth taking."

Luo Yun let out a groan, and then said suddenly: "Dongqing, I understand, you will escort this Zhao Yawen."

Ah?
Don't tell me, Yu Dongqing really has this plan.

He is very optimistic about this girl, otherwise there are so many good ancient songs, who will sing them?
Of course, these words cannot be said now, and the copyright issue has not been resolved yet.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, I'm going to catch the subway, bye, see you tomorrow!" Yu Dongqing smiled, turned and walked towards the subway entrance.

Zhao Yawen gave up the company's opportunity to release a new album for her, and went to the Central Academy of Chinese Opera to study at her own expense for a year!
The news quickly spread within the company, and everyone talked about it.

Is this girl crazy!
The company didn't even give her the opportunity, but she paid for her own education!
A year later, who knows what will happen to the music scene?
Will Gufengge still be popular?
The company will not give you such a good opportunity?
Some well-connected colleagues privately advised Zhao Yawen not to be so stupid, but she insisted on going her own way.

"Tang Guang, are you here to persuade me too? Do you think I'm stupid?" Zhao Yawen looked at the honest young man in front of her and asked.

"No, no, I don't think you are stupid, but I really admire you." Tang Guang said: "It is really not easy to make such a decision, and you will definitely succeed!"

"Thank you." Zhao Yawen smiled sweetly.

Zhao Yawen left quietly, and the company's relevant leaders came forward and contacted her to enter the advanced training class of the Chinese Opera Academy for one year.

Although it is still summer vacation, Zhao Yawen has already moved into the campus, and Wu Lan helped her contact a college teacher to teach her the basics of opera first, so that non-major students like her will not be able to catch up with their studies after the start of school.

Of course, whether it is supplementary tuition fees or tuition fees, you have to pay for it yourself.

Zhao Yawen calculated that the tuition fee, accommodation fee, and daily living expenses for this further study would cost almost all of her savings over the years.

does it worth?
Now, the sky was full of sunset, Zhao Yawen wandered alone on the school's avenue after eating, no one here noticed this girl in T-shirt and shorts, she just sang a very popular song.

In the song MV, the white lady in the white dress full of fairy spirit is the very elegant girl from years ago.

Sometimes she hesitated in her heart, thinking about this question.

Whenever this time, the appearance of that handsome middle-aged man would appear in his mind, and his words were vivid in his memory.

I think he will help me.

Zhao Yawen thought so.
