Superstar Growth Handbook

Chapter 54

Chen Ran took Xia Chen to the backstage first, put on makeup and changed clothes before walking onto the stage.

There were two seats on the stage, the two of them took their seats, and the flashing lights kept flashing. Seeing the main character of the news this time, the media started to commotion. Xia Chen was quite indifferent in the audience, and he had already gotten used to it.

After taking his seat, Chen Ran looked at everyone: "Please ask questions in an orderly manner."

A young man raised his hand, "I'm a reporter from xx Entertainment."

Chen Ran said: "Please."

The young man asked: "May I ask how you entered Huatian? And why you were able to appear in Huatian's [-]th anniversary. It seems that you have never debuted before."

Xia Chen smiled slightly, and politely replied: "I participated in a singing competition in this city before, and the people from Huatian took a fancy to me, so they contacted me."

Xia Chen's words caused a lot of commotion. The media didn't know much about Xia Chen's past, so it was the first time that everyone knew that Xia Chen had participated in a singing competition.

Xia Chen then answered the second question: "As for why I was able to perform at the [-]th anniversary, it's probably because Chen Ran appreciates me and thinks I'm competent."

The young man, the reporter, was persistent, "Does Chen Ran's admiration for you have something to do with your family background? Because as a newcomer, your sex is very high. On the way to debut, you not only have the blessings of big-name stars, but also get the endorsement of first-line brands. "

Xia Chen finally understood that his family should have been exposed. Thinking of this, Xia Chen frowned slightly.

The media will not let go of every detail of Xia Chen. Seeing him frown, the shutter is pressed more frequently.

"It has nothing to do with my family background. Before I participated in the singing competition and signed a contract with Huatian, Chen Ran didn't know my family. As for the blessings of big-name celebrities, everyone knows that whether it is Shi Yi, Qiao An or Tao Xingzhi It’s an artist from Huatian. As a newcomer from the younger generation, I can get their help because I’m from the same family. There are also brand endorsements, and everyone knows that I can’t get it if I want it, but I also need the consent of the advertiser. After all, the spokesperson is also the face of their company."

What Xia Chen said was neither humble nor overbearing, and he had a certain amount of advance and retreat.

Of course, the media is not easy to deal with. They can find a small loophole in your words, "Then why didn't they help other newcomers in the same school?"

Xia Chen thought for a while and said, "I was also very surprised when I found out, because apart from Tao Xingzhi, Tao Xingzhi and I have known each other for many years, so I am not very surprised that he helped me. As for Picking up Yi, I and I I've only met Shi Yi once before, and I'm not familiar with Qiao An, so I don't know why, if you want to know, you have to ask Shi Yi and Qiao An."

"May I ask why you entered the entertainment industry? Is it just a momentary curiosity or do you want to have fun? After all, you are a son of a rich family, and the elders in your family will probably not agree with you to stay in the entertainment industry for a long time to develop."

Xia Chen looked at the camera and said calmly: "It's not because I was curious for a while, nor did I want to have fun. Something happened at home during the college entrance examination, so I didn't take the college entrance examination, and I didn't think about what I would do in the future, so I decided to come to China Give it a try every day, because I am usually a person who likes to sing. If I can develop my favorite thing as a career, I think it will be very good. The elders in the family did have some objections at first, but because I insisted, I finally agreed ...Finally, I would like to ask everyone here, don't cause trouble to my family, if you have any questions, you can ask me, but if it is about my family and family, I am sorry I can't tell you.”

There was a murmur from below, and after a while, someone would ask: "So you admit that you are a son of a rich family? Did your family help you in your career as an artist?"

Xia Chen nodded, his face was very calm, "My family has a little income, not very rich, but it is not bad, as for whether it will help my career as an artist, I can tell you the answer you want, yes. "

There was an uproar in the audience, but Chen Ran on the side smiled lightly. He thought of what Meng Xuanlang said before, don't look at Xia Chen's pride that will be broken at any time, in fact, the more setbacks Xia Chen encounters, the better Xia Chen will grow .

"If I hadn't been born in this family, I wouldn't have known Tao Xingzhi, I wouldn't have been able to choose my direction leisurely after the college entrance examination, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be an artist with an uncertain future, and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to speak for Lie. But I ask you to believe, and please watch carefully, I will work hard to become an excellent singer, a good artist, and I also believe that I have this ability, and you should not kill my efforts because of my family."

The audience was quiet for a while, Chen Ran smiled slightly, looked at Xia Chen, the more he knew Xia Chen, the more potential he would find, and it made people want to dig it out.

"Earlier, Huatian's staff broke the news that you were playing big names in the company to bully other trainees."

Xia Chen shook her head, "My tutor told me that I would not do such a thing, not before, not now, and not in the future."

"Do you have plastic surgery?"

Xia Chen smiled, pinched his face, and joked: "This face is indeed handsome, but it really doesn't have plastic surgery. You can ask your elementary school classmates, junior high school classmates, and high school classmates. If you want to see me from childhood to adulthood I have no problem with photos."

The reporter who asked the question smiled slightly, and asked a few more questions, most of which were speculative.

A press conference ended quickly. Chen Ran and Xia Chen returned to the backstage. As soon as they sat down, Xia Chen collapsed and heaved a sigh of relief.

Chen Ran looked at Xia Chen and joked, "I really thought you were fine."

Xia Chen smiled wryly, "My heart is pounding. It's not like you haven't seen it. Even after you've said hello, the media are still so sharp. It's conceivable that if you didn't say hello, they might ask some questions."

Chen Ran smiled lightly and said, "What should come will still come."

Xia Chen nodded, was silent for a while, and asked, "Is this the end?"

Chen Ran shook his head, "I just greeted some of the media. It is impossible to ask all the media to pay for it, but the situation will be better starting tomorrow, so I won't blame you one-sidedly. As for the rest, it's up to the audience. , time will test everything, you have to believe that with your ability, it is only a matter of time before you are accepted by everyone."

Xia Chen nodded, and continued, "I hope it won't be too long."

Chen Ran smiled slightly and comforted: "It won't be too long."

It's just that the world is unpredictable, and this not too long time is actually 4 months.

After the second day, although the media no longer targeted Xia Chen consistently, audiences who didn't know why didn't care too much about what happened next. They only remembered what they saw at the beginning. Of course, fans who believed in Xia Chen continued to believe , but when Xia Chen disappears for a long time, who can guarantee that those fans still love Xia Chen?

People are animals that like the new and dislike the old. If there is no deep reason, no one will always like an unexposed star.

In order to prevent the public's influence on Xia Chen from continuing to decline, Chen Ran greatly reduced Xia Chen's appearance rate. In addition to the two commercials still shooting as usual, the promotion of the new album has gradually decreased. Chen Ran is actively preparing for Xia Chen a new album.The previous album was not sold well.

There are mixed reviews, among which there are more voices.

Most people say that Xia Chen's singing skills are not good, she can't sing low, she can't sing high, she can't grasp the alto well enough, her voice lacks mellowness, singing old songs lacks charm, it's like reading a book again, and there is still no emotion study.

And this is already considered a relatively good comment. There is no real-name system for comments on the Internet, which gives many people the opportunity to vent their verbal violence. Among them, the insults against Xia Chen are simply unbearable.

However, some of the people who suddenly emerged made Chen Ran faintly feel the crisis.

Many netizens are praising Tang Rong's new album "In the Mirror", saying that Tang Rong's singing skills are excellent, the high notes are very distinctive, and it is hard to forget after listening to it.

Unlike Xia Chen's album, which was not well-received, Tang Rong's album not only sold well, but also had more favorable voices.

The score on the Chinese pop music list is as high as 8.3, far exceeding Xia Chen's 4.7.

This point made Chen Ran quite anxious, which is why he was in a hurry to mention Xia Chen's preparation for the new album. The last album had many problems due to time constraints, and the most prominent one was Xia Chen's new album. The problem with Chen's singing is that Xia Chen doesn't sing well, it's just a matter of song selection. Although he has tried his best to match Xia Chen's voice, there are still many problems. As netizens said, Xia Chen's voice can't be high or low. In fact, it's just that Xia Chen didn't find a song that suits him, and how to find a way to sing, but all of this takes time to hone.

Another reason for Chen Ran to make up his mind to make a brand new album for Xia Chen is the comments from netizens.On the Chinese pop music chart, there is a review under Xia Chen's album.

"I don't think the reason why this album is not well received is not the singer himself, but in terms of song selection, the singer is not suitable for this style of songs, so it loses its taste when singing, but it can also be heard that the singer has a good voice I have talent in this area. Especially when I heard the song "Chasing", I was amazed when I heard it. Although the tone is not very ups and downs, it is enough to prove that such a song can make the singer sing high and low. The strength of the singer."

The reviewer is a well-known professor of musicology.

It was this comment that made Chen Ran decide to calm down, and when this happened, he simply asked Xia Chen to calm down and practice again. He had been anxious to push Xia Chen out before, but he didn't think about it for Xia Chen. However, whether he is suitable.

Now that he has this time, he has to think carefully for Xia Chen and prepare for the road ahead for Xia Chen. He is confident that Xia Chen will become a sign of the times.

Xia Chen is not too sad when he has free time, he fell down before he had time to enjoy the scenery, so he is not too sad, besides, he has a daily schedule and it is not too free.

Playing the piano, practicing singing, and recently he fell in love with composing music. When he is free, he holds a book to study and study, and writes down what comes to mind. Playing a play also kills a lot of time.

Moreover, Chen Ran specially invited a professor of musicology from the university to guide him in theoretical knowledge.

"With theoretical knowledge as the premise, you can go on the road of music for a long time."

This was the first sentence that a serious middle-aged man said to him. He felt that he was right, so he started to learn it seriously, and he would go to the conservatory of music to take his classes when he was free.

Of course he dressed up in disguise, but he didn't need to be too deliberate. People liked the new and hated the old faster than he thought. Now he is already a "passed" star.
