Chapter Ten First Singer Training

  It is said that the domestic entertainment industry has always been shrouded in darkness, with countless scandals. What's playing big cards, what's old qualifications bullying newcomers, and all sorts of hidden rules...... These are things that have been heard and often seen in the news. Apart from this, there is actually another bad practice, which is to exaggerate movie box office numbers and fake album sales data.

  Tang Xiao Sa vaguely remembers that it was probably last year when there was a news report about a certain record company, which announced the sales figures of its artists in front of many reporters during an awards ceremony. However, they exaggerated the numbers by over 1 million copies, when in fact the actual sales were only around 6 million copies. This was done for some unspoken benefits, but eventually, the journalists found out about it.

  Okay, actually since the advent of the internet era, record sales have been in a bit of danger. With so much piracy and such a severe situation, it's already super impressive that an artist who isn't very well-known can sell over 6 million copies. At least Tang Xiao wouldn't mock them. After all, not everyone is Jay Chou!

  So, when he heard that the goal set for him by the system was actually a top-notch "first-rate" singer, his legs immediately went weak and he bitterly laughed: "Big brother, are you trying to get me killed? Even if I've never bought an authentic music cassette before, I still know what kind of monstrous talent it takes to sell three million albums in a row. And on top of that, they're proficient in three instruments?! Geez, just say you want me to be T- monitored for three months straight!"

  Whatever, even if I was a bit arrogant just now, it's only a little bit! This crappy system is too petty. The revenge comes too strong and isn't realistic. Brother Xiao is indignant and entangled.

  "Is this task really that unrealistic?" The system looked calmly at the complaining Xiao Ge, and said peacefully: "Singing is actually not difficult, singing well is also not difficult, as long as you find the right method, as long as you are serious and dedicated, I believe you will definitely be fine!"

  "...Never mind, my grandparents should be back, after dinner I'll have my first training session, and then..."

  His words were not yet finished, when downstairs there was a call from grandma: "Old big, old big is back?" Xiao Sa Ge didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ran to the window to open the curtains and loudly responded: "Auntie, don't shout, I just arrived."

  Looking down from the window, I saw an old woman with most of her hair turned white standing in the sun-drenched courtyard downstairs. She was looking up with her head raised, and it was Tang Xiaosha's grandmother, Li Wenjun, who was already 70 years old this year.

  "It's so hot outside, why are you still drawing the curtains?" Grandma's face, full of wrinkles, showed a kind expression, and she said gently: "Don't be discouraged if you didn't get into college. Now it's not like there's only one way to read books, working and earning money is nothing to be ashamed of..."

  Tang Xiao Sa was somewhat amused and speechless, but it seemed that Grandma still thought she was hiding in her room sulking and even contemplating taking her own life. Joking aside, if the old lady were really scared, that would be a grave sin! So, he immediately opened the door and walked out into the corridor to reassure the slightly worried grandma: "Don't worry, Grandma, I don't care about the exam results at all. Anyway, I've done my best, it's not worth getting angry."

  "That's good, that's good!" Grandma looked at him repeatedly for several times, and finally made sure that her eldest grandson would not do anything stupid. She then said: "I'll cook dinner now, you quickly come down to take a bath, it will be ready soon." After finishing speaking, she turned around and carried a bundle of dry branches cut down last year into the gate.

  The old man is always so careful. Xiao Sao smiled a little happily, turned his head to look at his own room, and hummed, everything was normal, nothing was missing. Then go take a bath and eat!

  Dinner started quickly, and we had hanging noodles, which was also the main reason for the speed. In fact, in rural areas of Bashu, people usually eat like this at night. It's worth mentioning that Tang Xiao's bowl had very few hanging noodles, but there were 5 eggs, all from free-range chickens raised by their own family, and they looked and tasted much better than those sold in the school cafeteria.

  He told his grandparents about his plans, mentioning that he might go out to work in a few days. The two elderly people were quite open-minded and didn't try to persuade him otherwise, only repeatedly reminding him to be careful in the future, wear more clothes, not gamble or waste money... Tang Xiao's ears were numb from listening, but he could only keep nodding over and over again.

  "Wow, I'm so tired~!" It's easy to use the excuse "I'm sleepy and want to go to bed" to escape upstairs. Brother Xiao felt like he had suddenly become several times lighter. Coming and going, all he heard were those few words, it was simply torture!

  But this feeling of being loved by relatives is not bad either! He slightly raised the corner of his mouth, gently closed the door and pulled up the curtains, as usual turned on the floor fan, then took off the short-sleeved undershirt and large flower shorts he had just changed into after showering, flopped down on the wooden bed that looked a bit like a small boat, and shouted in his heart: "System, I want to receive my first singer training!"

  Just as Tang Xiao was eating, he had thought about a question. In his sober state, how would he appear in the Successful People System to receive training? Now, he finally knew.

  All he saw was that just as he said the last two words "training", his eyes which had originally been looking at the white mosquito net above his bed suddenly flashed and before he could react, what appeared in front of him was that gigantic gymnasium he had visited a few hours ago where he had even suffered. The funny thing was that he was still only wearing his underwear lying on the smooth floor.

  "I'm going to..." Xiao Shuai suddenly came back to his senses and jumped up, then looked up to see the system's robust man standing with his hands clasped in front of his chest, calmly watching him. What was infuriating was that his eyes were still moving up and down, as if a customer who was about to buy meat was sizing up a piece of pork to decide which cut to choose.

  "What are you looking at, haven't seen a handsome guy before?" Stimulated by this unbridled gaze, Tang Xiao immediately got angry and stretched out his middle finger to roar loudly. This action showed off his slender physique very clearly, with almost no flesh on his arms.

  Zhang Han shook his head slightly, "I think the price of pork in this time and space has risen very quickly. How can there still be pigs with full-body ribs? Didn't they feed well?"

  "This, is this cursing me? Xiao Shuai Ge listened to it and was a bit puzzled, how did it get to the pork? But soon he understood, angrily saying: "I'm going to curse you, are you cursing me? You damn..."

  "Even if you scold, it's still early anyway!" The system suddenly sat down on the ground with a plop, not even bothering to respond to Xiao Sa's furious outburst, and calmly said: "These hours are all counted as part of your training time. If you like to use them to scold people, that's up to you."

  Damn it, this bastard is really getting on my nerves! Tang Xiao's anger is about to explode, his usually calm face has turned bright red. He can't help but glare at the guy with hatred in his eyes, but... when you're under someone else's roof, you have to lower your head. Especially since this training concerns his first mission. Just wait, once I'm all muscle, I'll definitely give that bastard a good beating. He could only make such a vow in silence, and finally stopped cursing, shouting: "You damn well better get up, don't delay my training!"

  "People who are petty-minded usually can't get along with others and won't live long!" The person being scolded didn't show any anger, but his sarcastic remark immediately made Tang Xiao's already irritable mood even more suffocating. However, when he really started teaching, Xiao Ge couldn't help but admire him.

  "Vocal technique refers to the skills or techniques used in singing, but since you didn't choose opera, let's not discuss that here. Generally speaking, when people sing, they're actually shouting, without using the correct method, just relying on their good vocal cords to force it out. If they're just singing for fun, it doesn't matter, but if they keep singing for a long time, they'll definitely suffer from it. A real singer, however, can easily handle 20 songs or more, which highlights the importance of technique..."

  "Now it's the first lesson, let's start with the simplest one. First, I'll talk about open and closed mouth shapes. Next, I'll demonstrate on the piano, and once you get it, we can move on to the next topic!"

  As soon as the system's voice fell, a black and white triangular piano with a strong texture suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Sa Ge. Then, he walked to the piano, his hands slowly falling on the white keys.

  The rich and rhythmic melody of the piano echoed in the empty and vast stadium, while at the same time, the system also started to demonstrate an opening sound with a rising pitch, and waves of "a, ia, ua" resonated in Xiao Su's ears.

  "It doesn't seem that difficult, does it?" Perhaps it was really thanks to his improved memory, but he just listened and watched for less than two times before he involuntarily started practicing along with it, so the sound inside the gym also became louder.
