Why Was It a Little Saddening to Hear?



Why Was It a Little Saddening to Hear?

4How gentle could a teacher that nurtured three such disciples be?      2

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, on a 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. "I'll 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, "I'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. "I've 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 than a 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 learn 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, I'll work on the studio with you and learn from 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 become 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."     

"I'm 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 fully 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 Wenci: "..."     

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.
