Seeing the title, maybe you think I'm going to hit Wang Yuan? NO, I am happy for Wang Yuan, and I believe that he will have a better tomorrow after further study. What I want to talk about today is that although the Berkeley Conservatory of Music is a sacred international music school in the minds of the Chinese people, there are also some students who come out of it, and the star path is not smooth. Compared with Wang Yuan and Qian Zhenghao, who have attracted much attention before enrolling in school, some of them are still not popular after many years in the show business after graduation. Today I will talk to you about the four most representative of the buried "Berkeley Talents (Women)".
<h1>Liu Yutong</h1>
When it comes to Liu Yutong, I believe that the vast majority of people's impression of him is limited to his participation in Hunan Satellite TV's "China's Strongest Voice" in 2013. He was a member of the HOPE group, which consisted of Liu Yutong, Yang Chengxi, Zhao Jinyu and Zhu Chenchen, and finally won the runner-up of the "Strongest Voice" finals.
Looking back now, "The Strongest Voice" is the biggest pit and a spell in all variety shows, because many good singers with strength have never been popular since they went out from here, such as Zeng Yiming, Xiong Rulin, Alan, Li Jiawei, Liu Yutong, Liu Ruiqi and so on.
I still remember a sentence that Liu Yutong said on the stage at that time, he said that Berkeley alumni believe that his future achievements can surpass Wang Lihong. He was full of spirit and popularity. However, with the collapse of "The Strongest Sound", Liu Yutong also disappeared, and the HOPE group was even more unknown. In 2015, he participated in "Good Songs of China", sang the original song "Waiting for the Wind to Come", won four groups of mentors, and joined the Liu Huan team. "Waiting for the Wind" also won the annual Top10 Golden Melody Award of "China Good Songs". But in the end, Liu Yutong also failed to become popular through this program.
Liu Yutong enrolled at the Berklee College of Music in August 2010. Prior to that, he had been on the road of full-time singer for 8 years. He has released albums and won the Hong Kong New Town Awards Ceremony Newcomer Wang Award; worked as a producer in Zhang Yadong's company, served as a music director in Sun Nan's studio; twice participated in "Happy Male Voice", but the best result was only the top 10 in Jinan Singing District...
During his time at Berkeley, Liu Yutong was selected as the singer's night concert of the year in Berkeley. This is not simple, Berkeley will select 12 from the 170 outstanding singers in the initial selection, after two rounds of rigorous interviews, after the most authoritative R&B, Jazz, soul Diva judges in the vocal department, and will cooperate with the top international musicians. As the only Chinese student among them, this is also an important reason why Liu Yutong is regarded as a candidate for "surpassing Wang Lihong".
<h1>Norman</h1>
Who is Norman? Maybe you don't necessarily know, but you must know the auspicious three treasures, she is the daughter of her father Burenbayar and her mother Uzhina in "The Auspicious Three Treasures",Mongolian, born in 1991, is a rare post-90s female singer-songwriter.
Norman inherited the musical talent of her parents and loved music since she was a child, and at the age of 8, she sang "Three Treasures of Luck" composed by her father for her, and wrote her first songwriting work "Daddy of Ulaanbaatar". By the time she was 15, the little girl had more than 70 original songs. At the age of 18, as a gift to himself as an adult, Norman released his first solo full-length album of the same name, and was fully recommended by Many predecessors such as Bai Yansong, Yu Dan, Fang Wenshan, and Korqinfu.
When she graduated from high school, her only volunteer was the Berkeley School of Music. In the end, he successfully passed the entrance interview and went to the United States for further study. She excelled in school and served as president of the Tennin Club.
In 2015, Norman returned home after graduation. In 2016, she went to the Spring Festival Gala with her parents, and was once again misunderstood by everyone that she was a cousin Ingmar, but she did not mind. Because compared to her performance in front of the stage, she prefers to be a creator behind the scenes, quietly writing songs for others to sing. With her age and talent, she has been favored by many music programs, and "The Voice of China" and "Good Songs of China" have invited her to participate, but Norman has declined. She said: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I don't feel ready, although I have written more than 180 songs, but it takes a hit to participate in the draft, I don't have the confidence, I want to create some more mature works and get recognition by my own strength." 」
Norman has a mature, independent and assertive attitude beyond her age, which is also directly reflected in her work. Whether it is quality or quantity, it is worthy of admiration. Fang Wenshan said, "Norman is a self-contained post-90s beauty musician." Not long ago, she wrote a song "Mustang Eyelashes" for her father who went to heaven, you can listen to it and feel the talent and emotion in Norman's music.
But I have to say that Because of her low profile, Norman's exposure in the music world is extremely low, which directly leads to her musical path is not smooth. But recently she seems to want to open, with the "Chinese Good Songs" original team to create the program "This! It is the launch of "Original", Norman with the work "Tank" on the "Beast Original List", people who like her can go to the list to support the growth of original girls on the road of music.
<h1>Xiong Rulin</h1>
In 2006, CCTV's talent show "Dream china" won the popularity of Xiong Rulin and Hai Mingwei and others. Among them, Xiong Rulin, who won the championship, is also a musical talent who graduated from Berkeley.
Xiong Rulin began singing in bars at the age of 19 and became a DJ on Kunming Radio at the age of 21. In 2004, he was admitted to the Berkeley School of Music. During his time at the school, he participated in the performance of the AMERICAN AU school musical "Violet".
After "Dream China" won the championship, Xiong Rulin signed a contract with the Emperor, and various announcements continued, counting the red for a while. But later, as the heat subsided, Xiong Rulin also quickly passed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to the draft in 2013 as "Back to the Pot", but "The Strongest Voice" eventually reduced him to cannon fodder. In the following years, he released several albums, but his work had little influence. In 2015, he formed the band Dirty Honey, where he became the lead singer and keyboardist. The band didn't make it any name either.
All in all, the Berkeley singer sang very well, but he really didn't mix well in the music world.
<h1>Yuwen</h1> Yu
Some people may say that Yuwen wen is very popular. Indeed, this year, she did gain a big wave of popularity because of the movie "Ex 3" and the song "Decent". But compared to her talent and appearance, I think this wave of popularity did come a little late, and the heat is now fading, and how long she can be red next is a bit hanging. You know, she is also an all-round music talent who graduated from Berkeley, and she shouldn't.
Yu Wenwen immigrated to Canada at the age of 15, where he attended secondary school and was admitted to Berkeley. She has studied guitar since she was 10 years old and majored in electric guitar at Berkeley, with a minor in music composition and production. After graduating and returning to China, Yu Wenwen carried her electric guitar on his back and opened the road to the draft. 2014's "The Most Beautiful Harmony", then 2016's "Good Songs of China", and "Walk of Fame Super Edition", but it has not been popular.
A bully beauty with a Berkeley aura, playing a cool electric guitar, singing her own songs with a unique voice full of magnetism, that picture, think of it is exciting. It's really "Brother Wen is not red, heaven is hard to tolerate"!
Until the end of 2017, Yu Wenwen finally became popular, but he never expected that it was because he starred in a commercial movie. Fortunately, there is also a film interlude she sang and sang, "Decent", which gave her a "decent" reason to become popular.
Always, Yu Wenwen's experience once again tells us that Berkeley is not omnipotent, even if she has many strengths such as education, composition, singing, and appearance, she is not as red as a Yang Chaoyue who has nothing but appearance, so red and complete.
