This star is from the earth - #411 - Chapter 397 Change of heart

British writer Geoff Dyer said something like this: [True talent will insist on allowing itself to flourish in order to ensure that it is not wasted. Talent is wasted only by those who lack it. 】

Han Jue used to think that his body was a bit talented, but not too high. After all, idols, no matter how high their professional level is, there is a limit, and they can’t go much higher. Compared with Zhang Yiman’s talent, he is just “okay”.

However, the group of [Blue Whale] not only allowed Han Jue to learn a lot about his predecessor from the front and the side, but also let Han Jue update his understanding of the talent of his body.

Hearing that his predecessor ran away from [Blue Whale] to become an artist, Han Jue thought it was funny at first, but Han Jue smiled and thought about his smooth sailing, musical instrument playing and dancing, especially Later, under the guidance of Ke En’s dog ears, Han Jue’s growth rate improved almost every day, and Han Jue gradually stopped laughing.

Han Jue had to admit that his predecessor’s decision was not beyond his control to some extent.

After Han Jue returned home, he immediately asked for all the materials and videos about his predecessor in [Blue Whale] through Gu Fan. Every grade assessment, every subject in-class test, and every year’s performance in the [Trainee Competition].

Even the talent show and memoirs that his predecessor participated in at the beginning, Han Jue planned to look for them.

Before this, he had always been too lazy to watch the video of his predecessor——【Just a Tie Hanhan who is eager for quick success, has no brains and is neither happy nor happy. 】

He didn’t even bother to read the memoirs of his predecessor—[Leaving aside the running account, the writing is even more illogical, which makes me a headache. 】

Han Jue, who had just arrived in this world, thought that if he took control of this body and replaced his soul, he didn’t get memory or property, so his future life would have nothing to do with the past. He is he, former is former. He didn’t want to have anything to do with his predecessor’s past.

But in fact, Han Jue used the body of his predecessor, and the longer he stayed in this world, the more he realized that the so-called “don’t want to be involved in anything” was just an angry statement.

This is the first time that Han Jue seriously wants to know about his predecessor.

His predecessor was no longer a generous landlord, a non-existent symbol, but a secret friend.

And at this time, Han Jue is working hard to have a relationship that is recognized by others. The more he understands the talent of his predecessor, the more Han Jue can strengthen his confidence.

Han Jue is exploring his talent, and Ke En has already figured out Han Jue’s talent clearly.

Ke En graduated from the Modu Conservatory of Music. He rejected the recommendation of the school’s teachers and brothers, and also rejected the invitations of major Chinese record companies. He wanted to return to the United States, contribute to American music, and catch up with Chinese music. So in the work since then, I have never lowered the requirements for the works, and I have never made do or made do because of the popularity of the co-singer.

In Cohen’s eyes, the overall work is the most important. A singer is just a part of a song, an instrument that can walk, eat, complain, and fluctuate depending on mood. Once the singer can’t meet his requirements, then he would rather spend half a year or one year to practice the singer’s level before starting to record songs.

Cohen’s stubbornness, unsurprisingly, made him gradually lose job opportunities.

But no matter how he was cursed by the singer, how disgusted he was by his colleagues and couldn’t turn a corner, Cohen endured it silently, and he endured it for eight years.

Eight years is enough time for him to transform from a high-paying overseas returnee talent and a promising talented producer to a workplace bastard who “has a false name” and “just went to China to get a layer of gold plating”. Eight years is enough time for the producers who joined at the same time to become his leader and boss, and he is still standing still with that pitiful salary.

Finally, when Cohen planned to work part-time as a tuner in order not to starve himself to death, the company assigned him to work as a producer for the popular singer Han Jue to make an album together.

He knows Han Jue, a Chinese person who directly stood at the highest point in the music world through “I AM A SINGER” in the United States, he is a big name.

Although I don’t know why the company suddenly showed kindness and gave him this opportunity, Ke En, who has not officially accepted a job for several years and has been doing odd jobs for others, still does not intend to change his principles.

When I first met Han Jue, Han Jue gave Ke En a bad impression. Han Jueyan said conclusively that he would “record a song before twelve o’clock”, looking extremely arrogant. Ke En smiled and didn’t hit Han Jue.

When twelve o’clock passed, Han Jue hadn’t even finished recording a section.

At that time, Ke En thought that Han Jue would be like countless singers before him, ranging from swearing at him to beating others—Han Jue’s violent temper had long been investigated by him. Cohen was even prepared for the company to ignore him and not hold him accountable after he was beaten. After all, Han Jue is the most popular singer he has come into contact with, and he is also from China. Ke En only hopes that Han Jue’s medical expenses can be paid a little more.

But Han Jue didn’t.

It’s not that they didn’t pay, but that they didn’t hit anyone, or even scold them.

Although Han Jue looked at the clock with a bit of embarrassment, he quickly adjusted his mentality, corrected his attitude, stopped chasing the time, and made improvements bit by bit according to the suggestions.

Han Jue’s weak ability to use voice is not obvious in the revised “I AM A SINGER”, but it was amplified live in the recording studio, and it was immediately revealed by Cohen’s ears.

Ke En couldn’t bear Han Jue’s ruining Gu An’s classics, so he put aside the recording of the song as he did before, and planned to polish Han Jue’s instrument to a qualified standard first.

Ke En was also ready to be removed, but Han Jue unexpectedly agreed without complaining after thinking for a while.

“If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.”

When Han Jue said this, he was very modest, not at all like the hottest star in the American music scene, but more like an intern who just joined the company.

Cohen nodded, but he was skeptical in his heart. After all, there had been singers who had agreed before, but within a week, he was informed that the project had nothing to do with him.

But Han Jue did what he said.

From that day on, Han Jue stayed in the recording studio all day long, and seldom picked up commercial performances. He kept learning and learning like a sponge, and progressed day by day.

Ke En gradually changed his opinion of Han Jue.

【He’s serious about music, and he doesn’t hit or swear, so he’s a good guy. ] Ke En thought to himself, he was also very patient in teaching Han Jue. Regardless of the fact that people from the operation department came to remind me every day, saying that the online pre-sale of this album has reached hundreds of thousands, and begged them to make it quickly.

Han Jue’s attitude gave Ke En confidence, and Ke En ignored those urgings and acted more slowly, “The more fans expect us, the more we can’t be sloppy!”

Han Jue agreed.

It’s just that Han Jue went to Huaxia a few times during the mid-term to talk about imaginary love, which made Ke En very unhappy. Ke En originally disagreed, because Han Jue usually went for several days, which was a waste of time. However, Han Jue insisted on going, and Ke En was forced to agree. When Han Jue came back, Ke En always had to test Han Jue to see if he was lazy. As a result, Han Jue is still practicing in Huaxia, and has made remarkable progress, and he can surprise Ke En every time.

After just over two months, he completed the training that Cohen thought he would have to study for a year to reach the standard. From a childish child holding a peerless sword, he has grown into a strong young man.

This kind of talent, not to mention in the United States, has not even seen a few of Ke En in Yangyang Huaxia.

There was no work that could be achieved in eight years, but at that time Cohen suddenly wanted to cry, cheer, and dance in front of those who had looked down on him before. He believes that all the waiting, all the persistence, and all the forbearance are worth it.

Because he waited for Han Jue, who was nearly thirty years old.

Han Jue, who is a few years younger than thirty years old, has powerful functions, but lacks emotional expression. He is a robot. If you are a few years older than thirty years old, you have rich experience, but you have more energy and enthusiasm than you can do.

Thirty years old is the peak period of a singer, experience and technology, hardware and software are in a relatively balanced state.

At this time, Han Jue just happened to come to the United States, and he just happened to meet him.

If this cooperation with Han Jue is the last time, then Cohen can assert that whether it is Han Jue’s album or Han Jue himself, it is the most successful work in his life.

However, Han Jue went to Huaxia more than ten days ago, and his whole body has not changed since he came back. But through singing, Ke En was pleasantly surprised to find that there is something more in Han Jue’s singing.

Ke En could sense a change in Han Jue’s heart. For singers, this kind of extra change can be called [taste] or [texture]. In short, it is mysterious and difficult to describe, but it can be felt when you hear it.

At the same time, Han Jue’s learning attitude has become more serious and confident. Facing the homework assigned by him, Han Jue used to always say “I’ll try my best” and “I’ll try”, to put it mildly, it’s called leaving three points, cautious and modest, but for a person who is engaged in art , especially Han Juelai, who has his own ideas and achievements in this field, Cohen also finds it strange that he is so unsteady. Although Han Jue was able to complete homework and exercises in the end, Han Jue’s tone was always pessimistic and unconfident.

But now Han Jue, facing any homework and exercises he assigns, can only answer one word simply and neatly:

【good. 】

On the stage of “I AM A SINGER”, there are twelve works by Gu An, and two works by Han Jue himself. In addition, “Shape Of You” and “Beautiful”, which Han Jue was the first to become popular, are also popular in variety shows. Sang “Yesterday Once More”, the whole album contains a total of 17 songs.

Ke En knew the seventeen songs very well, and specially adjusted the order of recording songs for Han Jue. Every time Han Jue reaches the singing standard of a song, Ke En will lead Han Jue to record a song, starting with easy and then difficult, just like unlocking a level.

Although Han Jue is also the producer of this album, he has no objection to this.

It’s just that this morning, Han Jue waited in the recording studio early after getting off the plane. When he saw Cohen coming, he put forward his own request for song recording for the first time.

“I want to record the song “Million Years Ago” first.” Han Jue skipped the greeting, holding a sheet of lyrics in his hand.

The paper has lost its toughness in Han Jue’s hand, which shows that Han Jue has been preparing for a long time.

“Why? This song is not easy.” Cohen clearly knew that the song “Million Years Ago” could technically meet Han Jue’s standards, but the difficulty lies in the emotion beyond the lyrics.

Han Jue sang this song on the stage of “I AM A SINGER” before, and Cohen was very impressed with this song. Although Han Jue still won the first place in that competition, Ke En believed that Han Jue only sang 60% of the song.

Even now that the progress has been remarkable, Han Jue can only sing 80% to 90% at most, and needs to be polished.

“I know,” Han Jue replied, “but I feel like I can do it well.”

Ke En looked at Han Jue carefully: “You were never in such a hurry before.”

Han Jue knew in his heart that if he said that he was rushing to travel with Sha Niu next month, then Ke En would never agree.

So although Han Jue was shocked, his expression remained calm.

“I think the time has come.” Han Jue was full of stories when he answered.

“no.”

one. So I saved two chapters and planned to post them together.
