Yang Jian praised Eminem a few times, saying that he has no celebrity airs at all, and even chatted with him about rap.
Eminem didn't expect Yang Jian to be so easy to talk to. She was a little surprised and very happy at the same time, so she started chatting with him.
Who wouldn’t want to chat with a celebrity when they meet them? Even people who usually talk about looking down on celebrities may have a different attitude when they actually meet them.
Yang Jian asked: "If I want to learn how to sing, how should I practice? I've listened to it a lot, but when I sing, I feel like my tongue can't keep up with my brain."
Eminem gave some advice, he is professional in this regard.
Listen more, study more, try to write lyrics, and master the skills. The skills are the most difficult, including pauses, tongue flicks, acceleration, tongue curling, deceleration, etc. Beginners can also try different styles of rap to find the one that suits them
Rap style.
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Jian asked: "Do you have time? Come have lunch with us. It's my treat, it's getting late. I want to know more about rap, and you seem to be a good teacher."
"I have time." Eminem is the kind of person whose income is very unstable, and he doesn't want to be polite when someone treats him.
Moreover, a big-name NBA star like Yang Jian, who is in the news every day, treats him to dinner, which feels like a dream to Eminem. How can ordinary people have the opportunity to have close contact with big stars? He feels that he is very lucky.
Yang Jian chose a nearby high-end Western restaurant to eat steak. The conversation between the three mainly revolved around music. Ben Wallace also joined the discussion. Black people seemed to like listening to hip-hop music, and he liked many rap stars.
Interestingly, one of the people Ben likes is Eminem's future master Dr. Dre, and both of them highly respect him.
Ben also apologized to Eminem, and the two have a good rapport in hip-hop.
Yang Jian's purpose of studying rap is very clear. His black teammates basically like it. If he understands it, it will be easier for everyone to find a common language. Moreover, Yang Jian plans to release an album and become a singer in the future, and has already started writing songs.
I want to study his various styles of singing, including rap. If he has the opportunity to cooperate with Eminem in the future, it will be very memorable. In a parallel world, Eminem is very popular in China and is the most popular
A rapper well known to Chinese fans.
Yang Jian has already made a guest appearance in "Friends", and I believe it will be interesting to collaborate with a big-name singer.
After chatting with professionals for a while, Yang Jian benefited a lot. After dinner, he even sang a short section to get the feeling, and performed well. What he sang was the title song in Eminem's album, and Eminem was stunned.
"You learned too quickly, didn't you? Did you really only listen once?"
"Twice, didn't you demonstrate a section just now?" Yang Jian said with a smile. He was used to seeing other people's surprised expressions, and for him this was a basic operation.
"I've never seen anyone like you. It's impossible to remember the lyrics." Eminem couldn't believe it. But he watched Yang Jian take his album in the video store and then listened to it.
.
"My greatest specialty is memorizing things, and I also have a good sense of music, but I am more interested in studying pop music."
Eminem sighed: "I have read a lot of news about you. You are good at playing piano and guitar, scoring your own movies, and creating original pure music. You are even better than I thought."
Eminem is a little jealous of Yang Jian's talent. The gap between ordinary people and geniuses is too big.
He originally read the news reports and didn't really believe that Yang Jian was a genius. Today when he saw a real person, he found that being ordinary limited his imagination.
This is a talent like a monster. If a person like Yang Jian studied rap and practiced it casually, he might be able to beat many people for several years. Eminem has always thought that he is very talented, but now he is starting to doubt it.
Eminem was silent for a moment and asked: "Can you tell me why you think so favorably of me? It feels like a dream that a big star like you would choose my album and think favorably of a nobody like me."
"It's because we have similarities, maybe. You, me, and Ben all have similarities. I can feel this when I see you, so I like you two very much." Yang Jian explained.
"Are we similar?" The question was raised by Ben Wallace. He thought that he was a rough guy, and Yang Jian was too different from him.
If he has what Yang Jian did, how could he be undrafted in the draft? Well, he may still be undrafted, and Yang Jian is also an undrafted player.
"Some people are indeed very different on the surface, but the similarities can be internal." Yang Jian smiled.
Eminem asked curiously: "What is it?"
"We all like challenges and want to break people's stereotypes. Ben's actual height is only 201cm, and he wants to prove that short people can also become good centers. I am Chinese, and everyone thinks that Asians cannot play basketball well because of their physical fitness.
No, but I want to prove that I will be the first player in the NBA. You are a white man and release a hip-hop album, which means you love this industry very much. You also want to prove yourself and break the monopoly of black people."
Eminem took a deep breath and felt that he had met his soulmate. They were really similar, although they were not in the same field.
Then he smiled self-deprecatingly. "You have succeeded, but I haven't integrated into the rap circle yet. In the rap circle, no one will judge a white person."
"You may feel that every day is dim, but you will not give up. I can tell just by looking at your eyes that you can persevere. Even if others say that your song sucks, will you give up?" Yang Jian asked.
"No." Eminem didn't need time to think about the answer.
"Neither can I." Daben interjected.
He had goosebumps all over his body, and he completely understood why Yang Jian was optimistic about him. They are both the kind of people who can persevere, and perseverance will pay off.
Yang Jian smiled and said: "There is a saying in China: 'There are Bole in the world, and then there are thousand-mile horses. Thousand-mile horses are always there, but Bole are not always there.' Looking at horses is like looking at people. I think what you lack is just a person who appreciates your music.
People and coaches. As long as luck comes, you will succeed."
Yang Jian is a typical leader personality, especially good at inciting people's emotions and giving a glimmer of hope to confused people.
After hearing this, Big Ben really wanted to hang out with Yang Jian for the rest of his life. He believed that this was the best boss. In other teams, it would be impossible for anyone to think so highly of him and be willing to help him.
Eminem felt that he was alive. He had already begun to doubt life. When he saw that 1,000 albums could not be sold, he doubted that he would never succeed.
Now, his self-confidence has soared and he feels that all he needs to do to succeed is to persevere.
Eminem smiled and said, "Thank you. After listening to what you said, I think I can completely let go of this failure and go to Los Angeles to have a try."
"That's a good idea. It's definitely better for you to develop in Detroit than to go to Los Angeles. There are many well-known musicians there. You can participate in more competitions there to increase your influence, and then release an EP album to test the water. When you prove your strength, you will definitely
Someone will ask you to sign a contract." Yang Jian was talking about Eminem's experience in the parallel world, which was another spoiler.
In Los Angeles, Eminem was appreciated by the famous rapper Dr-Dre, and he became famous a year later. Los Angeles is his blessed place. There are no celebrities in Detroit, and the music company is also a small business. He hangs out with underground singers.
What's the future?
Eminem said excitedly: "Although I am very ordinary now, I still want to ask...can I have your contact information? I hope to become friends with you."
"Of course, we may have the opportunity to collaborate in the future. I also intend to develop in the music industry in the future. As long as we work well together, we can sing together. I'm looking for a rapper to collaborate with, but I'll probably have to wait until next year."
"If you want to collaborate with a rapper, I'm here." Eminem immediately planned to seize this opportunity.
He believes that this is a shortcut to success. No matter who collaborates with Yang Jian, he can get super high exposure. Currently, no singer can compare with Yang Jian in terms of exposure, and his reputation is far behind.
"It's settled." Yang Jian and Eminem bumped their fists and agreed happily.
Yang Jian left her home phone number and mobile phone number and asked Eminem to call him after she got the phone number in Los Angeles. They could keep in touch when they had time and communicate about music.
After getting to know Leonardo DiCaprio and the bully Maguire, Yang Jian has another future big star in his circle of friends.
