Chapter five hundred and twenty seventh on the road
When Huang Bo heard that it was a singing competition, he lost interest.
In order to debut in his early years, he participated in many singing competitions and knew what those competitions looked like. No matter how well you sang, the music company would always choose those contestants with outstanding appearances.
Even if you get a ranking and join a music company, you won’t get much good resources and just spend your time.
After all, this is a world that looks at faces.
Huang Bo, born in 1974, is now twenty-five years old. His experience in the past twenty-five years is rich and colorful.
When pop songs were introduced to the mainland in the 1980s and were called "The Sound of Misty", he became obsessed with pop songs.
He just graduated from junior high school. The sixteen-year-old Huang Bo went to a local bar in Qindao to sing and became a resident singer.
He had a lot of conflicts with his family because of this. His family was in good condition. His parents were both intellectuals and were quite open-minded. Seeing that he could not control his son, he tacitly agreed to him to sing.
Huang Bo goes to school during the day and goes to the bar to sing at night, mainly imitating the Hong Kong and Taiwan songs.
Like the Tigers and Grasshoppers, the rhythm is fast, suitable for the atmosphere of the bar and the needs of young listeners.
He sang once every other day and could get fifteen yuan each time. In an era when ordinary workers only had about one hundred yuan a month, this was much more than working hard to work.
Every time after physical education class, Huang Bo invites the classmates in the class to eat popsicles that cost one cent per piece, enjoying the envious eyes of his classmates.
In the early 1990s, the most prosperous place for mainland pop music was in Huacheng in the south.
Almost all singers who like pop music go south to Huacheng to find opportunities to sing or become famous, and Huang Bo is among them.
In Huacheng, he sneaked into a music company and a group of people who came to Huacheng at the same time as him, such as Mao Tao, Zhang Yingying and others. Later, he became famous, but he still achieved nothing.
Because he is not tall and handsome, the company is unwilling to spend resources on him.
It was an era when idol singers were prone to becoming popular. Only handsome men and beautiful women could enjoy themselves. Huang Bo was not in the same circle as them.
Objectively speaking, Huang Bo is not bad in length, and it is quite pleasant to see after a long time, but it is obvious that it is like Mao Twist.
After staying in Huacheng for two or three years, watching others become famous all over the country and attending the Spring Festival Gala, but he still sang in the karaoke bar. Huang Bo couldn't help feeling excited and a little depressed.
With the popularity of campus folk songs, Beijing has become a gathering place for pop music singers.
Huang Bo wanted to change his environment, so he came to Beijing at the end of 1994 and continued to sing in the karaoke hall.
When he first arrived in Beijing, he had a hard time living in a private house in the suburbs of Beijing. He rode his bicycle to the bar for two hours a day and rushed back on his bicycle at 11 and 2 o'clock in the evening.
The winter in Beijing is particularly cold, and there is no air conditioning or heating in the house, and there is only a coal ball stove.
Sometimes, when he went back, he found that the stove was gone, so he could only tremble in the quilt with cold and could not even drink hot water.
Later, with his voice who was good at singing pop songs, his talent for hosting, dancing, and making jokes, he gained a firm foothold in the dance halls in Beijing and gained some fame.
Zhou Xun, Man Wenjun, Sha Baoliang and others were singing in the bar at that time.
A few years later, Zhou Xun changed his career and went to the entertainment industry, made a name for himself, won awards abroad, and others also signed contracts with music companies and released albums, which gradually became popular.
Singers who sing in the bar come and go, some become famous, while others stop singing ever since.
Only Huang Bo was still persevering, but he didn't know how long he could last, whether he was thirty or forty.
At that time, I couldn't dance anymore, and the bar guests wouldn't like a forty-year-old uncle singing those old songs that were sang on stage.
He would be stunned for a while when he woke up, thinking about what he should do next, and he would ask himself, is he able to answer by himself if he was so exhausted!
But what can I do if I don’t waste so much?
Go back to your hometown, do a small business, or open a factory, live a good life, and give up your pursuit for more than ten years.
Perhaps this is his real destination, Huang Bo couldn't help but think of it.
"What's the point of competition? It's not the same thing. It's better to sing two more songs on the venue to earn some money to find a girlfriend and end your single life." Huang Bo said uneasy.
"Brother Bo, this time it's different. I can be on TV." A younger resident singer disagreed.
As a young man, he has passion and pursuit and does not want to give up any chance of success.
"Huang Bo, this time is really different. The rules above are interesting. The instructor is facing away from the contestants, only listening to singing, not looking at their appearance. I think this one is specially formulated for you. Do you know anyone?" someone joked.
"Go to you, you boy are scolding me. Be careful that I will get you drunk at night and let you lie on the stage." Huang Bo cursed with a smile.
Everyone is making a living in the same place and taking care of each other. They are used to being familiar with each other and have no scruples in their conversation.
Huang Bo felt curious, so he took the flyer from the other party and started reading it.
He stayed in the capital for four or five years. Although he had not been on the big picture, he also heard a lot of rumors and had a general understanding of the various circles in the capital.
Shanshan Culture Communication Co., Ltd., he knows this, Mu Shanshan is still very famous.
Mu Shanshan's husband is Lin Zixuan, the boss of Good Dream Company. Huang Bo intends to develop in the entertainment industry. When he has nothing to do, he will play supporting roles. He knows the strength of Good Dream Company in the entertainment industry.
All the extras who play supporting roles hope to join the crew of Haomeng Company, and be well treated and will not mislead their salary.
It's certain that this show will not be fake.
This blind selection is innovative, unlike other singing competitions, it can be seen that this show wants to select singers with a real voice.
However, even if he was lucky enough to be selected by his mentor, the audience still liked to watch handsome men and beautiful women. He had little hope. After years of setbacks, Huang Bo could face it calmly.
"You go, I won't cause trouble for the audience." Huang Bo said self-deprecatingly.
"Brother Bo, as long as you pass the audition, you can go on TV and accept the guidance of those four mentors. They are my idols." The young singer said excitedly, "I didn't want to win the championship. My family has always opposed my singing. I want them to see me on TV and listen to me singing."
Looking at the excited face of the young singer, Huang Bo was deeply moved.
Once upon a time, he had such an idea. The more his family opposed it, the more he wanted to prove himself.
But ten years have passed, and the family no longer objected, or it is too lazy to object if they know that opposition is useless, but he still has not been able to prove himself.
Dreams are always so far away, and it seems that no matter how hard you try, there will be no result.
There are many opportunities in Beijing, but there are more people waiting for opportunities.
Youth has long gone, and he doesn't know whether he should give up or try again, and there will be a chance. (To be continued.)
