Chapter 46: A Gamble of the Year (Remember to Give Your Favorite Character a Heart)
Du Caige groaned.
Chinese classical music, he really remembers, there is more than one.
It's just that he is not familiar with those classical instruments.
His piano is at the level of the exam, the guitar is at the level of enthusiasts, and the flute and guqin are only slightly dabbled, which belongs to the beginner level, and he cannot play continuously and completely.
And the original owner, since he is a major in folk music, must be more than that.
As soon as you get started with it, isn't it exposed?
But after thinking about it, I have already admitted to "amnesia", what else is there to be afraid of.
So he quickly decided on the "repertoire", and smiled helplessly: "That's okay, I'll make a fool of myself in front of my godfather and new friends." ”
Old man Huo asked, "Which instrument do you use?"
Since Du Caige has decided on the "repertoire", he does not think twice, "Guqin." ”
Old man Huo clapped his hands, and soon a young and beautiful waiter came over, bent down and asked, "Boss?"
Old man Huo said: "Go and arrange it, my godson is going to play the guqin." ”
"Boss, when did you recognize a godson!" The waiter glanced at Du Caige and pursed his lips and smiled, quite amorous. Listening to the tone, there is no superiority and humility between him and Old Man Huo, and they are very equal.
Old man Huo bent his fingers and knocked on the table: "It's me who recognizes my godson, what do you care? Don't you also want to have more godsons!"
Du Caige only felt a breath of blood rushing straight to his face. This old man is not cultivated! He can flirt with his granddaughter's waiter in front of so many people and at his age!
The beautiful waiter covered his mouth and giggled, and glanced at Old Man Huo in a charming manner, but then when he spoke to Du Caige, he was very measured: "Little brother, you come with me, the guqin is so heavy, you have to help me move it." ”
The corners of Du Caige's mouth twitched slightly, and he got up and followed resignedly.
The waiter led him through the lobby and down the hallway to a locked room, where he opened the door and entered, the window was clear and cleaned, apparently often.
"There!" the waiter pointed to a guqin.
Du Caige went over to move and followed the waiter out.
Nothing to say all the way. Du Caige is not deceiving the dark room, and the waiter's charm is not aimed at Du Caige.
Returning to everyone's sight, the waiter spoke with a polite smile: "Little brother, what's your name, are you really the old guy's godson?"
"My name is Du Caige. Du Fu's Du, the literary collection, the song of wine. Well, your boss is my godfather, I just recognized. This woman called Huo Lao an old guy, obviously her relationship with Huo Lao was not ordinary.
"Then he must like you very much," the waiter's voice was soft, with the unique charm of Jiangnan Water Town, "The old guy has a good temper, and he always thinks that others are ordinary people, and he doesn't like to deal with others." ”
"yes, it's a privilege to have him look the other way. Du Caige said insincerely.
The waiter led him to a foot in the lobby, where it seemed to be used by musicians for their usual performances. The two arranged it together, set up the guqin, and the waiter asked curiously while busy: "You and the old guy should have a good relationship, why did I see you for the first time, didn't you come here before?"
Du Caige didn't know if the original owner had been here before. He said vaguely: "I had a little problem a few years ago, and I didn't go out much. and your boss, you should have known each other for a long time, and a few years ago you lost a bet to him and promised to recognize him as a godfather. ”
The waiter covered his mouth and smiled, and said meaningfully: "It turned out to be you, right number." ”
Du Caige felt that her sentence itself was easy to understand, but some of its meanings were not understood.
After setting up the guqin, the waiter retreated, Du Caige plucked the strings a few times, then put his hands on the piano, set up a posture, and took a deep breath.
......
On the other side of the seat, after Du Caige left, he fell silent.
Old man Huo was not interested in saying anything to Jiang Youxi at all.
Jiang Youxi is very self-aware, knowing that his coffee position is far from Old Man Huo, and he is not qualified to take the initiative to talk. And Jiang Youxi is also a smart person, seeing that the other party's attitude is so obvious, he understands that if he wants to take the initiative to climb up, it is just annoying.
So he just took a sip of tea and waited quietly.
After a while, Old Man Huo's gaze looked at other places boringly, and he said, "This, Xiao Yan......"
"Uncle Huo, my surname is Jiang, and my name is Jiang Youxi. ”
"Oh," Old Man Huo didn't care, waving his hand like driving away a fly, "You and my godson are very familiar?"
"I'm not very familiar, in fact, I've only known each other for a short time, Brother Du is my idol," Jiang Youxi said with a smile, "I usually don't dare to disturb him." ”
"Oh. Old man Huo lowered his eyebrows, and his tone was light.
Jiang Youxi didn't want the scene to be cold anymore, he was a Lingfan person, since Uncle Huo had already opened his mouth, he had to seize the topics that Uncle Huo was interested in and continue to talk, so that Uncle Huo would have a good impression of himself. In this way, maybe one day in the future, this big coffee will be able to avoid many detours with a casual word.
So Jiang Youxi leaned forward and asked curiously, "Uncle Huo, what kind of bet did you make with Brother Du back then?"
Old man Huo showed a look of reminiscence, his eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of fog, and he saw a vivid scene: "Oh, that time. It was after he announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, that year, Su Man Nanazi and Duan Xiaochen were a little bit uneasy, and deliberately chose to release an album with each other at the same time. ”
Jiang Youxi thought about it and found relevant clues in his memory, and the fire of gossip in his eyes was burning: "I've heard about it, it seems that this matter is also related to Brother Du." ”
Old man Huo was noncommittal, and then continued, "The new album of the two of them gave me the title song at that time. I'll just say that Su Manqian is definitely not Duan Xiaochen's opponent this time. Xiao Du doesn't believe in evil, he actually secretly wrote a few songs for Su Manqian, saying that Su Manqian's album sales will definitely surpass Duan Xiaochen. I made a bet with him. ”
"I see. Jiang Youxi understood. That was in March 2003, shortly after the photography scandal, which became known in the music industry as the "Duan-Su controversy".
That year's album war, the final result was that Duan Xiaochen won, 22-year-old Duan Xiaochen, obviously his career as a singer had just begun, and he had only debuted for a few years, but he tried to transform, which surprised many people.
And this transformation turned out to be very successful, which is amazing.
"Brother Du is not a god either. Jiang Youxi said.
Old man Huo shook his head, and his two thick eyebrows also shook: "Of course he is not." ”
Jiang Youxi forcibly endured his jealousy of Du Caige, and said tentatively: "Uncle Huo, you recognized Brother Du as your godson, this is a big event in the circle, do you want to do it well?"
Old man Huo lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said in a dull tone: "Hang it, this is my family matter, I should know, I will naturally know." I don't know, and I'm too lazy to let them know. ”
Jiang Youxi secretly gave a thumbs up, the old man was domineering. However...... "Don't you think that if you do it, Du Ge will take this opportunity to announce his return?"
Old man Huo glanced at him, his gaze was like a needle prick, if Jiang Youxi had a ghost in his heart, he would definitely behave unnaturally this time.
However, Jiang Youxi was really thinking about Du Caige at this moment, and he didn't have any selfishness.
Old man Huo nodded slowly: "You, you're thinking too much." If he wants to come back, there are 10,000 better ways. Don't worry, he'll be back. ”
At this point in the conversation, Du Caige had already set up the guqin and plucked the strings a few times.
Old man Huo turned around and watched intently.
Jiang Youxi also wisely shut up. Although he actually has a different opinion, he heard Sister Ming Ming say what happened back then, if Brother Du wants to return to the entertainment industry, the resistance is too great, too great.
After all, there are many women who have been hurt by Brother Du, including many well-known actresses, socialites, relatives of bigwigs, and most of the entertainment industry hate Brother Du and will not allow him to come back easily.
