Very soon, many people wanted to interview Li Chencan. Everyone was curious about why this person could take on so many identities at the age of 18 and just how talented he must be!
But Li Chencan directly avoided these reporters. Although he wanted to become famous, he felt that going too far at this time would be counterproductive. His next big moment would come after the official start of "The Voice of China"!
Soon, Li Chencan told his family that he was about to participate in "The Voice of China." Over these days, Li Chaoyong and Yang Yifang had enjoyed the glory brought by their son. Every time they went out, many people who knew them would give them a thumbs up, envying them for having a provincial top scorer in the humanities. Of course, as parents, this was their proudest moment.
And today, they heard that their son was going to participate in "The Voice of China." This variety show was popular throughout China, nurturing many independent music producers or music producers who joined music record companies, with a great reputation. The key was that "The Voice of China" only had 120 initial spots, and these 120 spots were selected from across the country. It was clear that anyone who could join "The Voice of China" would be outstanding. They also knew that several of Li Chencan's songs had become hits.
Li Chencan left 50,000 yuan for his family and kept a few thousand for himself to go to Zhonghai. The advance royalties for "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty, Part 2" had already reached Li Chencan's hands. This was mainly a 200 yuan per thousand characters royalty, with 30,000 yuan after tax. Including the remaining bonus from the Baihua Publishing House, even after leaving 50,000 yuan for his family and the cost of buying a computer, he still had over 20,000 yuan.
It was definitely enough to spend!
Besides, in a while, the earnings from "Friend," "Deskmate of Mine," and "Brother Who Sleeps Above Me" would also come in. These three songs had already sold over a million copies, and with a 30% split, he could earn several tens of thousands of yuan... Although this money was still a bit short compared to the family's debt, several tens of thousands of yuan was not a small amount. At Li Chencan's age, his peers were mostly having fun during the holiday, but he was earning money, and he had already earned nearly 100,000 yuan!
After the release of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty, Part 2," it was easy to imagine that Li Chencan's earnings would keep rolling in... The royalties from this book might make Li Chencan a fortune.
"Xiaocan, we can only hope you do your best! We believe in you, you can definitely do it," Li Chaoyong thought for a moment but couldn't say anything more meaningful, so he just said this.
Li Chencan nodded heavily. Although his father's words weren't very encouraging, they were still a good boost for him.
Recording the show, training, and filming VCRs would take up most of Li Chencan's time, so when he went to Zhonghai, he wouldn't be able to return home for a while, which meant he wouldn't see his family for a while.
Li Yingsnow frowned slightly. Usually, when Li Chencan was around, she couldn't help but complain about this lazy guy always making her clean up after him and often being unreasonable. But when Li Chencan wasn't there, it felt like something was missing from the house, and it seemed a bit empty.
Many siblings have this kind of relationship. They might argue a lot when they're together, but once the other is not at home, it feels very strange, as if a part of their heart is missing.
"Work hard... If you make it to the semi-finals or something, our whole family can appear on TV," Li Yingsnow said. "If you can't even make it to the semi-finals, don't come back to see us."
"Bad girl! How can you talk like that?" Yang Yifang immediately scolded her younger daughter, who made a face but didn't care at all. Li Chencan smiled helplessly, "Okay, you just wait to be on TV!"
"Our Tianfu Province has always been a place that produces a lot of musical talent. Everyone knows Xu Jun, who participated in 'The Voice of China' and is one of the best independent music producers! He is from our Tianfu Shifang, and we will also work hard this time to stand out in 'The Voice of China'!"
Today, several people were about to head to Zhonghai. After the spots were confirmed, the program would cover the travel expenses to Zhonghai. Before setting out, Zhou Anjing specially gathered the three people under his charge and gave them some encouraging words to make them work harder.
"Xu Yang, you just need to maintain a steady performance. If we can pass the first round of evaluations, it will be a victory!" Zhou Anjing first spoke to a slightly chubby boy with black-rimmed glasses, who looked quite likable in appearance and attire.
The boy seemed a bit shy, lowered his head slightly, and said, "I will do my best."
"Qian Anyu, your songs are very sharp. You need to prepare several more songs according to the situation," Zhou Anjing then spoke to another boy among the three.
This boy was about 20 years old, with clear features but thin lips, giving off a somewhat sharp impression. He had a hint of arrogance on his face and only nodded casually when he heard this, but his eyes glanced at Li Chencan, who remained calm... Qian Anyu had heard "Deskmate of Mine" and "Brother Who Sleeps Above Me" and knew how formidable Li Chencan was.
"Li Chencan, I am most confident in you. Your songs are great... Just do your best in the competition," Zhou Anjing said to Li Chencan last.
"Okay, I understand," Li Chencan nodded.
Qian Anyu was gradually starting to see Li Chencan as a rival, but Li Chencan didn't really care.
Xu Yang came over a bit awkwardly and tried not to be shy as he said to Li Chencan, "Li Chencan, hello, I've heard a lot about you. Please give me your guidance."
"Please give me your guidance..." Li Chencan also smiled.
Then he greeted Qian Anyu, who only nodded in response. Xu Yang knew that Qian Anyu was a bit aloof and didn't talk to him much, but he chatted more with Li Chencan, and they all became more familiar.
After that, they took a flight to Zhonghai. When they arrived, the weather was beautiful, with high visibility, and the city below was clearly visible...
