Chapter 748: Why Was It a Little Saddening to Hear?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
How gentle could a teacher that nurtured three such disciples be?
Yet as Liu Shengtai was getting old, he had made an exception to accept Tan
Jinsheng as his disciple after many years of not doing so.
Although Tan Jinsheng was his disciple, Liu Shengtai was extremely doting on
him because of the large generation gap.
It was a treatment that Tan Jinsheng’s three seniors had never enjoyed before.
With these two teachers, Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi had yet to officially step
into their respective professional circles, so they still retained some innocence.
Therefore, the two of them did not understand the meaning behind Liu
Shengta’s words.
Liu Shengtai had been in the industry for many years, so he was too familiar
with some of the unspeakable rules.
“Singing Voice” had invited Tan JInsheng as a challenger on the show.
Tan Jinsheng’s advancement in the show couldn’t be decided based on his
ability alone.
Most of the time, ona competition program like “Singing Voice”, the champion
was already decided right from the very start.
Even the entire process of elimination and the contestants who advanced were
already predetermined.
Therefore, in every signing of the contract, it would be specified how many
episodes the singer would participate in.
When the contract was due, the singer would naturally be eliminated from the
show.
Therefore, when the singers participated in the program, roughly know when
they would be eliminated.
That was why Liu Shengtai phrased his words so oddly.
However, Tan Jinsheng had never experienced this. He genuinely thought that
as long as he had the capabilities, it would be enough.
Although all of them knew what Liu Shengtai meant, they didn’t tell Tan
Jinsheng.
They didn’t stop Tan Jinsheng from participating in the program because of
this.
Tan Jinsheng would have to experience and know about these things sooner or
later.
“Oh right, when are you going to meet the program team and sign the
contract?” Xu Mingzhen asked.
“I only told them I’ll consider it and haven’t replied to them yet,” “Tan Jinsheng
said. “Tll reply to the program team now and then talk about the contract.”
Fortunately, the program was recorded in B City, so it was quite convenient.
Tan Wenci stroked his chin and said, “T’ll try to establish a studio for you. Then,
we’ll have to hire a manager, assistant, and other staff responsible for various
things.”
“So soon?” Tan Jinsheng scratched his head. “Ive only just released a few
Songs.”
“You’ve already released a song, so you need to hurry up and prepare,” Tan
Wenci said, “In the future, you’ll need a professional to help you handle the
matters for participating in all kinds of programs, and even advertising
invitations or commercial performances. There are also daily miscellaneous
matters that you will need an assistant to assist you in. You can’t just take care
of all the trivial matters yourself. You won’t be able to handle all of them. Do
you still want to write songs?”
Tan Jinsheng thought about it and agreed.
Tan Wenci was a professional when it came to setting up a company.
Moreover, this was only a studio. It was simpler thana company and was a
piece of cake for Tan Wenci.
Tan Jinsheng didn’t think too much about it and left everything in Tan Wenci’s
hands.
“You should learn from your father,” Xu Mingzhen said helplessly, “When the
studio is established, you have to leam to manage it yourself. You can’t just
leave everything to your Dad.”
Tan Jinsheng nodded and was very receptive. “Then I’ll start learning now. Dad,
rll work on the studio with you and learn fronm the process.”
“Okay,” Tan Wen agreed with gratification.
Now, he could still help Tan Jinheng take care of everything.
But in the future, who could help him when Tan Wenci wasn’t able to?
Tan Mo had already taken over Tanyue. She couldn’t let her take over her
brothers’ studio for their sakes, right?
It would be better for Tan Jinqi and the rest to take charge of their studios at
the very least.
“Oh right, shouldn’t Jinqi set up a studio as well?” Xu Mingzhen reminded, “I
noticed that those directors who have beconme famous all have their own
companies. Jinqi has just started, a company may be too excessive for now, but
he should still have a studio so that there can be someone to help him with
some trivial work.”
Tan Jinqi said, “I planned for this before. I was planning to use a part of the
money from the show as the start-up capital to set up my own studio.”
In that way, he wouldn’t use the money from his own family.
He was already so old, and he had his own job. It would be ridiculous to spend
his family’s money.
Fortunately, ‘Broken Continent’s’ results were good and he could earn a lot
from it.
It was more than enough for him to open a studio.
Tan Wenci was gladdened to see that Tan Jinqi had his plans.
But when Tan Jinqi heard this, he felt that although he had not earned money
yet, it was indeed not good for him to use his family’s money to open a studio.
He scratched his head and said, “Dad, why don’t… I go on a few shows and
make enough money before opening a studio?
“Don’t start bashing your head into a brick wall,” Tan Jinqi said impatiently, “I
was lucky and earned enough to start a studio. However, you didn’t earn much
by writing songs for ‘Broken Continent. Even if you were to guest on shows, the
program team would only pay you at a newbie rate.”
“Im not too sure about other shows, but I’ve heard of ‘Singing Voice’ before.
Because most singers were hoping to regain some popularity by going on the
show, they’re already in the passive position. The show doesn’t pay high rates
and go according to the market rates and they are fuly justified for doing so.”
“There’s a long wait before you earn enough money,” said Tan Jinqi, “I have
confidence in you. You will become famous very quickly. But no matter how fast you are, it will take at least a year and a half. Don’t tell me that before that,
you intend to do all the trivial things on your own?”
Tan Mo added on, “That’s right. Big Brother is the eldest son. He’s already so
old. It would be ridiculous if he didn’t rely on himself”
Tan Zhan: “..”
It wasn’t that ridiculous, was it?
“But second brother, you’re different. You’re so much younger than Big
Brother. Other boys your age would have only just graduated and started
working. Some wouldn’t even have started working because they were
continuing their studies. They are also spending their family’s money.”
“Besides, didn’t our Dad earn so much money for us to spend? Otherwise, who
else could he leave it for? Tan Mo said.
Tan Weni: “..”
Although there was nothing wrong with what she said, why was it a little
saddening to hear this?
Tan Jinyi also joined in, “Yeah, second brother, you should set up the studio
first. At most, when you earn money, you can let us spend it. It’s the same. I
also believe that you will succeed in less than a year”
What a joke. He would succeed even if he was just an idiot with his three
seniors around.
However, Tan Jinyi was very considerate and did not say this out loud.josei
