The finals of Zhejiang Satellite TV's "2020 The Voice of China" have just ended at the Wuhan Sports Center, and Shan Yichun, an 18-year-old girl who is studying for her freshman year in Hangzhou, finally won the annual championship.
In the first round of the competition, this girl from the popular music department of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music won the first place with a total of 38869 live tickets, and won the ticket to the summit duel.
In the second round of the summit showdown, Shan Yichun led the way in the first round of voting in the media and professional judges, leading Zebra Forest with a score of 68Vs23, and then in the live audience voting, he once again won with a score of 35311:12217, and finally successfully reached the top.
I don't know if you remember, xing Hanming, the overall champion of "The Voice of China 2019" last year, was also a student of the popular music department of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music.
Wang Tao, deputy director of the Department of Popular Music of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, received the news that Shan Yichun won the championship, and replied to this reporter on WeChat for the first time: "I just think that the hard work in recent years has been rewarded, and we want to do the best pop music major in China; who said that Zhejiang people can't engage in pop music." ”
Shan Yichun, who is a freshman in the popular music department of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, has been singing with stable performance and strength that cannot be underestimated by tutors and audiences since he stood on the stage of good voice, and in the star power list of "The Voice of China", popularity has always been high, and finally won the title of "Best Popular Student".
The "Love That Never Loses" that she sang in the blind selection stage swept the screen of major video websites and music charts overnight, and even rushed to the top three of the Douyin topic list, with more than one million likes. Her singing was also personally certified by the original singer-songwriter and singer-songwriter Zhou Xingzhe, who called out to her to participate in her own mainland concert.
Since then, Shan Yichun has rushed to Weibo's hot search many times with "Forever Young" and "So".
It's this song~
The original singer of "Forever Young", Ai Yiliang, also forwarded Shan Yichun's singing video for the first time and sighed: "Thank you for this world so that I do not regret my creation, thank you for your choice." The song also quickly reached the top of major music charts shortly after its release.
Earlier reported that "the post-00s girl who studied in Hangzhou was on the hot search last night!" Family loans fully support her likes"
Along with popularity, there is controversy. Some netizens feel that Shan Yichun is somewhat contrived, which is not in line with the mentality that a newcomer should have, and even her rich body language and expressions on the stage have also made some netizens feel too sophisticated.
But in the view of Wang Tao, deputy director of the Department of Popular Music at Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, the Shan Yichun he knows is really a "very simple child". "She actually wanted to leave the game as soon as possible and go back to school." Everyone saw that Shan Yichun often cried on the stage, and she was really stressed to the point of collapse.
"Her home conditions are actually very general. One day I asked her, 'Do you want to make money?' She said she wanted to, because she wanted her mom to have a little easier life. This time to participate in the competition, she also hopes that she can make some money for her family and improve her living conditions at home. That's it. Wang Tao said that he recommended Shan Yichun to the "Voice of China" program group at the beginning, in fact, he really did not expect her to go so far, just thinking that she would be busy after entering the university, and the college entrance examination was just in time for the summer vacation to find something to do.

<h1 toutiao-origin="h3"> Wang Tao was impressed by Shan Yichun's "So"</h1>
"Teacher Wang, I have a good student here, do you want to listen to it?" She wants to take your school, is there any interest in taking. Wang Tao recalled that the earliest Shan Yichun was introduced to him by others. Since someone recommended, Wang Tao thought, then listen to it, this is also the way many music teachers accept apprentices, think it is good to accept careful training, think that generally then directly dissuade.
The first time they met, Shan Yichun touched Wang Tao with a song. And the song that impressed Wang Tao is the song "So" that Shan Yichun sang in the "The Voice of China" National Top 9 Competition.
In Wang Tao's view, many people sing very well, but really want to impress him, one is that he can hear the love of music in the song, and the other is that he must have his own unique aesthetic for music, and can use emotions to interpret a unique voice, and these two points, he heard in Shan Yichun.
After the launch of "The Voice of China", Shan Yichun's popularity has been far ahead, and many netizens even feel that Shan Yichun looks a bit full of wisdom and can take the route of the idol of the girl group. Wang Tao said that in fact, Shan Yichun felt that she was a singer in her bones, and did not feel that she was an idol, "Later, she made a good voice, and everyone found out that she actually looked quite good." ”
<h1 toutiao-origin="h3" > what exactly is the "divine department" of the department of popular music at Zhejiang Conservatory of Music? </h1>
I don't know if you have found out that Xing Hanming, the overall champion of "The Voice of China 2019" last year, is also a student of the popular music department of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music. There is also Li Fanyi, who won the turn of the three good voice mentors na Ying, Li Ronghao and Wang Lihong with a song "Tiptoe Love", Hong Yinuo, the runner-up of the finals of "Children of Tomorrow's Crystal Age", and Ye Xuanqing in the "Little Second Class" of "China New Song 2"... It's all students in this department.
This can't help but make people wonder what is the "divine department" of the popular music department of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music? Less than 5 years after its inception, so many students have already made their mark on national music talent shows.
“1000：30。” Wang Tao said that this is the average admission rate of the department, and the top people who can be selected are originally the top of the top.
Like The Voice of China, the first and second tests of the pop music department are also blind selection (this year it became an online exam due to the epidemic). Throughout the exam, the examiner and the student will be separated by a curtain, and neither one can see the other. After listening to the 7 examiners, each of them scored, and then removed the highest and lowest scores, which is the final score of the student.
"Our school is also fair and just, and we don't want students to be eliminated because of image problems, or because they know teachers here and are opened to the back door, or they want to select people by voice."
Behind the success of students, it is indispensable to have a group of teachers with excellent business ability and high-quality resources. For example, Wang Tao often uses his resources in Zhejiang Satellite TV and music circles to fight for more practical opportunities for students, so that they can accumulate more stage performance experience.
Because he has previously served as the lead singer and music director of "I Love to Remember the Lyrics", Wang Tao also knows very well what kind of contestants the variety show wants, so every time his students go to the competition, he will help cut down the details in the back and do some targeted training for the students, so that they can go further in the program.

On the ground floor of Raffles City, there is a TZ house music scene of only 100 square meters.
Many people may not have heard of this name, but if you want to go straight in, sorry, please go to the queue first! Looking for familiar scalpers to buy the number of "brother old official", it is about 100 yuan a piece, and if you want TZ house admission tickets, from 300 yuan, every Wednesday the admission ticket is basically half a minute.

In this TZ house, pop music students can often be seen.
In addition to supporting students to participate in variety shows, teachers who adhere to the concept of combining teaching and practice also encourage students to practice performances, so the school has signed a lot of internship bases, including NetEase Cloud, Zhejiang Radio Music FM, etc., TZ house is one of them.
Some people may think that students are looking for gold. In fact, no matter what kind of coffee comes, the performance fee is 300 yuan a show. "Li Quan and Huang Dawei came, and it was also 300 pieces." Wang Tao said with a smile that even if he himself went up to sing, it was the same price, and it was not as good as the scalper's income.
And only students over the third year of college have the opportunity to take the stage. "Our rule is that in the two years of freshman and sophomore year, the study must be the first, and only when the third year begins, can you apply for an internship." Wang Tao said that it must pass the unified examination of TZ House's three music directors before they can perform on stage independently. If the ability has not yet been achieved, you can only be a trainee, sharing the stage with others on Fridays and Saturdays late at night.
"We signed an internship contract with TZ House, which also provides a practical platform for students, and then they can also solve employment problems, and after graduation, students can also become resident singers, release films and business performances."
In addition, in Wang Tao's view, singing well in school may not be able to sing well on the stage, "The real practice is not to go to the party today to sing a song, but to be able to sing a whole." If you're not doing your show well, it could be a 'car accident' scene. Ye Xuanqing came down from the stage of "China's New Song", and in the first performance of TZ House, there was no applause, nothing, because she was very nervous that day and did not sing well. The audience is very real, you don't sing well, I don't approve of you, no matter what kind of coffee you are. Wang Tao said that even if Li Fan became famous, there are many commercial performances, including film announcements, but he still chooses to return to perform here every week, as usual with a performance fee of 300 yuan, "on the one hand, out of love for music, on the other hand, for them, it is also a good opportunity to exercise, you can maintain a good singing state." ”
"Really performing here, you can hear everything the audience says, and they will have comparisons in their hearts, such as this singing is not as good as the previous one." 」 Wang Tao laughed and said that when he went to the TZ house, the pressure would be very great, and he was afraid that he would not sing well and be compared to the students.
< h1 toutiao-origin="h3" > students earn 4 houses and 1 luxury car with a song</h1>
Many people say that there is no future in making music now, and records do not sell well, but in fact it is not.
Wang Tao gave me an example: "Lin Juncheng, who is in the same class as Ye Xuanqing, sang a song "Things" before that was very popular, and the hit rate of the whole network should exceed 10 billion. "Last March, we also interviewed He Zeyong and reported on this popular Douyin "Things" ("Zhang Liangying and Guan Xiaotong are singing the Douyin Divine Song", which was written by a sophomore in Hangzhou in 5 minutes!) 》）。 And this song not only made the singer Lin Juncheng famous overnight, but also brought the copyright income of "4 houses and 1 luxury car" to its creator He Zepeng.
"In school now, there are actually many students who are starting their own businesses. Don't underestimate them, like He Zepeng, the Hangzhou Lecho culture they founded, there are almost a dozen singers signed by them, and the original songs can reach more than 100 songs per month. "Wang Tao told me that the most interesting thing now is that every year when new students enter the school, a new round of robbery will be launched in the class. Students who have graduated and senior students are the first to run back to school and go to the freshman freshman to "grab the sign" of potential singers.
After Shan Yichun became popular, many people contacted Wang Tao, and they gave a sky-high contract to sign this girl who is only 18 years old this year, and some companies even offered tens of millions of signing prices, "For an 18-year-old child, she is indeed quite bullish." ”
