The noisy battle ended with Tang Feng's overwhelming victory, which many people did not expect.
Song Que, such a troublemaker and a tough fighter, was defeated so thoroughly by Tang Feng. The battle was provoked by Song Tiande, but the outcome was unexpected.
The battle between the two was spectacular, with one climax after another. In the end, Zhou Qingyun's most lethal strike left many people surprised.
After the noise subsided, Tang Feng's reputation as a musical genius was firmly established.
Enthusiasts listed Tang Feng's past battles, and the results always boosted his fame. Netizens jokingly invited all kinds of critics to criticize Feng Shao, so that they could have another song written for them by Tang Feng.
Regarding the title of musical genius, Tang Feng did not let the praise from the media and netizens go to his head. Instead, these incidents made him reflect.
Throughout his journey, he had relied on the classics in his mind. Although each victory had increased his fame, it also exposed his own problems.
His core strength was still not enough. In terms of original songs, Tang Feng was self-aware. Some things could be cultivated and trained, but others could not, such as songwriting and composition. He knew his own limitations very well. If it weren't for the benefits of being a穿越者 (穿越者 means "穿越者" in Chinese, which can be translated as "time traveler" or "穿越者" in this context), he would be nothing.
This was something he could not change, as inspiration and talent could not be improved in a short time.
However, among the various doubts, although some people were deliberately causing trouble, the root cause was still his lack of strength. He could compensate for his talent and ability with his past life's memories, but his singing skills and some professional knowledge could not be improved by those means.
To go further, he needed to strengthen his vocal knowledge and singing skills.
At the moment, Tang Feng had nothing much to do. Live streaming did not require much preparation for him, as many things were already in his mind. Due to the approaching Spring Festival, the shooting plan for "Mr. Loser" would be postponed until after the spring.
Apart from that, he had nothing else to do, so he had plenty of time to enrich and improve himself.
...
"Do you want to find a vocal and singing skills trainer?" Liu Jie asked Tang Feng with some surprise, feeling a sense of admiration. Tang Feng had not been swayed by external praise but had instead discovered his own shortcomings and taken action, which earned Liu Jie's respect.
"Yes! You are a senior music editor, and you should know that my singing skills are only amateur. I have nothing much to do recently, so I want to improve myself!" Tang Feng said.
"I've seen many singers who, after becoming famous, lost themselves and forgot the most basic things a singer should have, and they ended up being one-hit wonders. You are different. Just this point alone, if you don't succeed, who else could?" Liu Jie said with a sigh.
"Regarding the trainer, don't worry, Reku has one. Of course, since you are not a signed artist of Reku, the fees will need to be paid by you," Liu Jie said.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Liu!" Tang Feng nodded.
Liu Jie was very concerned about Tang Feng's affairs and quickly found a vocal teacher for him.
In fact, the vocal teacher was also surprised when he learned that his student would be Tang Feng. After all, Tang Feng was the hottest new artist in the music industry in 2007, almost an overnight sensation. However, the vocal teacher Liu Jie found for Tang Feng was also a seasoned professional who had trained many established stars, so he was only slightly surprised.
Following the vocal teacher Ge Xiaoshuai's request, Tang Feng sang a song, which made Ge Xiaoshuai frown.
"Feng Shao, can I call you that?" Ge Xiaoshuai asked.
"Of course, Teacher Ge!" Tang Feng nodded.
"To be honest, your singing skills are really not good. You haven't received systematic training in vocal and singing skills, have you?" Ge Xiaoshuai said bluntly.
Tang Feng did not feel offended; he nodded naturally. "Yes, I'm self-taught, and I've been learning on my own for a while."
"That explains it! Well, that's enough for today. I understand your situation, and I need to go back and create a training plan specifically for you," Ge Xiaoshuai nodded.
"Thank you, Teacher Ge!" Tang Feng said.
"Hehe, no trouble at all, I'm just doing my job! Hehe!" Ge Xiaoshuai joked.
"..."
The two quickly said their goodbyes. After all, it was their first meeting, and training vocal and singing skills was not something that could be done in a day. This time, it was just to give Ge Xiaoshuai a direct understanding of Tang Feng's singing abilities, and the next meeting would start the actual training.
Just as Tang Feng was about to leave Reku, Liu Jie called him.
"Brother Liu, is there something?" Tang Feng asked, somewhat surprised.
"You haven't left yet, and I have something to tell you. Reku is hosting a charity dinner, and you, as a musical genius, are of course indispensable. Here is the invitation, I'll give it to you directly to save the trouble of sending it again," Liu Jie said, handing a gold-embossed invitation to Tang Feng.
Tang Feng took the invitation and looked at Liu Jie with some confusion.
"This is a tradition at Reku. Every year at this time, we host one. The attendees are usually people in the industry. Of course, the media is also essential. It's basically like a gathering," Liu Jie explained when he saw Tang Feng's confusion.
"Brother Liu, what do I need to prepare or pay attention to for this dinner? You know, it's my first time attending such an event! I really don't know much about it," Tang Feng asked after a moment of hesitation.
"Prepare what? Pay attention to what? Let me think. Actually, there's not much. There will be a charity auction, with some items provided by Reku and others by the attendees. You can bid on an item as the situation allows, or if you have a suitable item, you can bring it. Since it's your first time, just remember not to leave empty-handed. Other than that, there's nothing much," Liu Jie pondered for a moment and said.
"Okay! I understand!" Hearing Liu Jie's explanation, Tang Feng nodded.
Although he had lived two lives, this was the first time Tang Feng had received such an invitation. He knew nothing about such dinners, but he had seen them on TV. Remembering Liu Jie's advice, Tang Feng was quite interested in the charity dinner, as it was a form of recognition for him.
Regarding the auction items, Tang Feng was self-aware. He had been in the industry for less than a month, so he was still a newcomer. What could he offer for auction? So, this time, attending the charity dinner was mostly for the experience and to contribute to charity.
