Speaking of singer Liu Xin, maybe the audience who watched Supergirl and Fast Girl back then will know that she is the third runner-up in the national finals of "2011 Happy Girl", if you haven't seen Fast Girl, many people may be a little unfamiliar with this name. Because Liu Xin is a bit of a debut, that is, the peak, as of now, the peak of her life is when she won the third place in the 11th Fast Girl, but after that, it was not as good as a day, and she was eliminated early when she gave up Sister Lang 1 to participate in "The Second Season of the Band's Summer" in 2020.
Recently, Liu Xin was a guest on the variety show "Riding the Wind 2024" spin-off program "Naive Time", Yang Tianzhen diagnosed her pulse, saying that it was because she did not have a clear goal and was not active enough, and prescribed her prescription, suggesting that she should quantify management and clarify her goals.
When recording "Innocent Time", Yang Tianzhen asked Liu Xin to rate his important age group, and Liu Xin gave his 27-year-old self the highest score, and then gave a very low score. Judging from its scoring, Liu Xin's entire career development has been full of ups and downs, and the peak moment was when she won the third place in the national finals of "2011 Happy Girl", that is, when she was 27 years old. At that time, she thought that after winning the third place, her whole life would be bright, and her future was bright. The reality is that I slowly found that it was not the case at all, and the person who succeeded at that time was not himself, but the opportunity at that time, and whoever had that opportunity would be the third runner-up.
When talking about his career plan, Yang Tianzhen asked Liu Xin if he had time to think after winning the third place, in addition to coping with every day's work and announcements? Liu Xin said that at that time, she didn't know what an artist was going to do, her ideal was to be a singer, so she thought that it would be good for a singer to sing. If the company has the budget and is willing to send her records, it will release more works. If you want to say that the only plan may be musical, that is, I slowly want to be an original singer, and as for what kind of peak I want to reach or what kind of achievement I want to have, I haven't thought of a definite answer about achievement. Anyway, the mentality at that time was to live in the moment, follow your inner thoughts, and only ask yourself if you want to do it, and do it if you want to.
Yang Tianzhen said that when she listened to her life, she felt that she didn't think about her ultimate goal very clearly, so when she made decisions, she just looked at the current feelings. The occurrence of this step may not be a step effect, and I did not think about how to borrow strength upward. "So I want to ask you about your ultimate pursuit in life, have you thought about it, what kind of life do you want to have?"
Liu Xin didn't actually think much about the ultimate goal of life, at least not very clearly, so she said, "I think at least I want to be a rock grandma, singing can be my hobby at the same time, and it can also be my lifelong career." As for why I didn't think about it so much, it was because "my attitude towards life is that I don't want to be so tired, I want to make myself a little more relaxed and happy." What I can do, I think a lot of times it's full of surprises, but sometimes surprises are surprises. ”
In fact, many people will be like Liu Xin, who may also know that refining and quantifying goals will help realize their dreams, but they really don't want to be so tired, so they are satisfied with unexpected surprises. The other side of this may be what Yang Tianzhen said, the internal friction will be a bit much, if you develop according to your own wishes, of course, it is a surprise, if you do not develop according to your own wishes, after the setback, it will consume itself relatively much, you may stop, you need to readjust your emotions, maybe you are still in the process of self-repair, and the opportunity is gone. Regarding this point, Liu Xin said, "You are a little powerful", which can be regarded as another way of expressing his approval.
Yang Tianzhen believes that Liu Xin's current state, that is, he does not do too much target management, is a bit casual, a bit Buddhist, and is not a long-term way. "I guess it has something to do with you from a young age. Liu Xin felt that it was not impossible, saying that she had always been a person who did not dare to ask for things since she was a child, she did not dare to ask others, whether it was a family, whether it was a relationship or a job, she would not take the initiative to ask for anything, and she would not be very good at asking for her own team and her own staff in her career. So her whole career journey seems a bit Buddhist.
Yang Tianzhen felt that it was better to take the initiative in her career, even in life, and gave an example of her experience when she was the boss of a brokerage company. At that time, she would tell all the artists, you have to make requests and make bold requests, because this business is yours, I may not be able to do it if you ask for it, but if you don't ask for it, I will definitely not do it.
She has seen that when some artists may be socializing with a brand on certain occasions, he actually wants to cooperate with this brand, but many people will be very tactful, and they will say that I like your things very much, and I often buy your things, but I don't dare to say it directly, and in the end I didn't get my wish. She has seen some artists directly say, "I want to be your spokesperson, how can I do it?" She approves of this approach, because after you make a request, you can know what you are missing, what the team is missing, what you are missing, and how to make up for it.
When it comes to career advice, Yang Tianzhen feels that Liu Xin should set a very clear goal. For example, this time she came to "Riding the Wind 2024", how many hot searches she wanted to make, and how many business collaborations she wanted to get, she would absolutely quantify it. Because you are not a person who can quantify your goals, I have to help you do this quantification, that is, after you quantify, your efforts will not be in vain, and you will know where you are poor in everything you do. When you quantify everything, it's a life experience, and what you can do and what you can't do is a life experience. If you can't do it, you know why you can't do it, and you can see yourself like a mirror.
When it comes to quantification, many people in the workplace will think of the terrible KPI assessment, so Liu Xin also has the same doubts as many migrant workers - if you set all the goals clearly, won't you have a heavy heart for gain and loss? But Yang Tianzhen asked rhetorically, "Do you think you don't have a heavy heart for gain and loss now?" "I don't think it's heavy, I'm happy." ”
Yang Tianzhen said that if you take it as the end of your life, just fight this one, if you don't fight, you won't work, without it, I will be ruined, then you will definitely lose heart. If you take it as a process, as a springboard, or as a place where you borrow strength, a starting point for your career after the age of 40, you just look at how high the starting point is, then your gains and losses will not be so heavy. Yang Tianzhen's words are also reasonable, just like falling out of love or having a setback in his career, it is really uncomfortable to look at the current point alone, but if you look at the length of his life, in fact, a temporary failure is really nothing.
For this participation in Sister Lang 5, Liu Xin did not lack a clear goal like she did in life, on the contrary, it was relatively clear, her goal was to form a group. Because being in a group means that she has participated in all the stages, this stage is so powerful, and the ultimate goal of the singer is such a stage, and then you stand on it, you can devote yourself to another space without distraction. There is really no longer-term goal, but Liu Xin said that she will think about the next unknown things, and it may indeed be because of those previous experiences that some things may be afraid, afraid of setting clear goals for herself, afraid of being disappointed, and afraid of denying herself again.
Yang Tianzhen gave Liu Xin a prescription, will Liu Xin use it all, and can he return to the peak of his life after using it all? We have to see how Liu Xin is in the future. In fact, even if you don't return to the so-called peak of life, it's good to be able to always do what you like, and this thing can make your life okay, and there are a group of people to follow you.
