"Actually, you can understand, that feeling of pain and despair, no hope in sight, as if you can only sink forever," Du Caige suddenly asked, "When you just came to the magic capital to work, and you haven't met me yet." You should be able to understand the feeling. In fact, people who can't understand this song are truly happy people. ”

"Yes, yes," Duan Xiaochen said softly in Sakurajima, "仆が死のうと思ったのは,まだあなたに出会ってなかったから." ”

"あなたのような人が生まれた,世界を少し好きになったよ。 ”

"あなたのような人が生きてる,世界に少し期待するよ。 ”

She was quoting the lyrics from the song.

Translated into Chinese, it is: "I once thought about a hundred, because I haven't met you yet." Because of the birth of someone like you, I have a little bit of a good feeling for the world. Because there are people like you living in this world, I have a little bit of expectation for the world. ”

Du Caige also responded to her with a lyric. "死ぬことばかり考えてしまうのは。 きっと生きる事に真面目すぎるから。 ”

If you blindly think about death, it must be because you live too seriously!

Duan Xiaochen smiled lightly. Obviously, I understood what Du Caige wanted to express.

Just as Du Caige also understood her confession.

......

Du Caige has listened to several versions of "Once I Thought About a Hundred".

The best version, of course, is Mika Nakajima's version.

However, Hiroshi Akita's original version is also very distinctive.

Compared to Mika Nakajima's version, Hiroshi Akita gives the impression that he sings very hard, sings until he is hoarse, and he exhausts all his strength, trying to struggle out of despair.

His tone was very desperate, but he could feel the mood of "finding light in the dark".

Du Caige personally felt that the Akita Hiroshi version could move him more and make him cry.

Of course, it's not that Mika Nakajima's version is bad.

In fact, in the public's perception, Mika Nakajima's version is the best version.

Japan is a country with a very high suicide rate.

Before the release of Mika Nakajima's version of "Once I Thought About a Hundred", the total number of suicides in Japan exceeded 30,000 for 16 consecutive years. But in the year of the release of "Once Upon a Time, I Thought About a Hundred," the number of suicides in Japan was 27,000.

Thousands of people have been reduced.

Of course, it can't be said that the decrease in the number of suicides is necessarily due to this song.

Because after that year, with the recession of Japan's economy, the younger generation in Japan became more and more Buddhist and had low desires, and the suicide rate basically decreased year by year.

Around 2020, the number of suicides in Japan has dropped to 20,000.

But that doesn't mean the song's significance.

The lyrics and melody of this song do have quite positive meanings.

Du Caige has seen a lot of messages in the comment areas of "Zhihu" and "Netease Cloud Music", saying that he wanted to commit suicide, but after listening to this song, he decided to stick to it.

It is not excluded that some people are sensational, and some people are hype.

But Du Caige also believes that there must be someone who occasionally hears this song when they are in despair, and gains the power to live a positive life.

If you say, Hiroshi Akita's singing version is a bit like the kind of hand that stubbornly reaches out to the sky from despair.

Mika Nakajima's version is like a positive big sister who is heroic and gentle in her voice to treat you.

Du Caige is looking forward to how Duan Xiaochen's version will feel.

In terms of musical achievements and voice, Duan Xiaochen is only stronger than the above two.

came out of the recording studio, because he knew that Meng Zhaolong happened to be on the company's side today, Du Caige asked him to sit in a café not far away for a while, talk about the script, and talk about casting.

"Detective Chinatown" has been officially established, and the company is currently attracting people to invest everywhere.

But first, the script was written by Du Caige, although Du Caige has proven his ability to write the Internet, but the movie script is another matter.

On the other hand, Meng Zhaolong has never made such a witty and funny movie.

These two factors have led to the fact that Jiutian Media, Dahua Zitian and Donglai Entertainment are not very reluctant to follow the investment.

In fact, "Detective Chinatown" does not need a big investment, and it is completely affordable to entertain each other, but this time it is just to call allies to drink soup.

As a result, the other party said that your pot of soup may be poisonous, so you still don't drink it.

Moreover, even if this movie really makes a lot of money, after all, Jiutian Media, Dahua Zitian and Donglai Entertainment all hold shares in Dream Mutual Entertainment.

They are not without gains.

So in the end, only Donglai Entertainment symbolically invested 1 million, and Rouzhi Investment invested 2 million.

Dream Mutual Entertainment invested 12 million yuan, and finally raised 15 million yuan.

Of these, 9 million are expected to be used for filming and 6 million for publicity.

Of course, additional investments may be made at a later stage depending on the situation.

Now Meng Zhaolong is discussing with several producers on a daily basis, creating a detailed budget, and casting.

"I inspected Jiang Youxi, and he has no problem playing the role of Tang Feng. In addition, Brother Du, can you find Lu Siyuan and let her play the role of 'Ah Xiang'. ”

Du Caige's face immediately changed. He said lightly: "I don't know her well. ”

After refusing, Du Caige thought to himself, this Meng Zhaolong's EQ is really low.

Who is Lu Siyuan? She was one of Lin Ke's rumored girlfriends back then.

Although Lu Siyuan did not appear in those popular small videos and photos.

But Du Caige knew that the original owner really had a leg with her.

So how could Du Caige deal with her again now!

Will you be beaten to death by Duan Xiaochen and Yan Yingzhen!

It's too late to hide.

Meng Zhaolong thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's me who didn't think about it. Otherwise, I'll go to Mr. Duan, her acting skills are enough to play this role, she is famous enough, and she looks beautiful enough. If you want to trouble Brother Du, you can also help me say a few words. ”

"I'll try. Du Caige didn't say anything to death, he was really a little wary of Meng Zhaolong, worried that he would make some trouble.

"For the role of Tang Ren, I will contact several actors to audition recently. Do you want to come and see Brother Du then?"

"Okay, you can call me then. The role of Tang Ren is indeed the most important role in this play. Other roles can be compromised, they can be sloppy, and this role must be chosen carefully. ”

Du Caige is hinting to Meng Zhaolong that if he wants to make some unspoken rules, or if he wants to sell face to anyone, other characters can move, and even Tang Feng's role can not be given to Jiang Youxi, but the role of Tang Ren must not be moved.

It's just that Du Caige is a little worried, Meng Zhaolong's EQ is so low, will he not understand his hints?

Next, the two discussed the plot and character design, and when it was almost noon, Du Caige got up and left.

He made an appointment with Fan Youqiao's gang, invited Fan Youqiao's team to dinner at noon, and chatted with Fan Youqiao privately after eating.

......

In the box, there was smoke, and even the two girls, Peng Yinong and Ah Sa, were smoking.

Peng Yannong's smoking appearance is very exquisite, gently holding the cigarette with his fingers and middle fingers, and the posture is elegantly brought to his mouth.

Ah Sa is holding a cigarette like a tomboy, talking and laughing with everyone.

Today, Du Caige is here as a representative of the capital, and nominally he is a shareholder of Rouzhi Investment.

So several young people were more enthusiastic about him than the last time, and kept urging him to drink. With this group of young people, Du Caige also felt that he was quite relaxed, and unconsciously drank a little more than usual.

Under the dual effect of alcohol and smoke refraction, everyone's face seems to be distorted.

However, he still has basic self-control, and when he feels the limit, he can't persuade him to drink.

The sexy Peng Yinong kept trying to hit him, and didn't seem to mind being eaten tofu by him at all, Du Caige felt that this battle was wrong, so he excused himself to go to the bathroom, went to settle the bill, and then waited for half an hour before returning to the box.

"Brother, you run away halfway through drinking, what is this!" Fan Youqiao said with a smile, his tone was not dissatisfied, just a little ridiculous.

He didn't wear women's clothes or makeup today, just very neutral clothes, a plaid long-sleeved shirt, cropped pants, and tennis shoes underneath.

"I can't drink enough, I can't fight with you young people. Let's find a place to talk alone?"

"Let Ah Sa also listen to it, she is my technical backbone, no matter what you want to talk to me, you will need her to cooperate with me in the end. ”

Du Caige glanced at Ah Sa.

This girl with delicate facial features still wears a very thick smoky makeup, which is a pity, after all, her eyebrows and eyes are actually quite delicate.

She wears a black tight tank top, a short black coat, and a pair of dark puffy trousers.

The mediocre figure is not attractive at all.

At this time, she looked back at Du Caige expressionlessly, and there were no mood fluctuations in her cold eyes.

"Okay," said Du Caige, "I booked a room upstairs." ”

The place where they ate was a five-star restaurant, and Du Caige considered that inviting them to dinner was to show his attention to them, so the venue he chose should be a little more expensive and high, and it was not suitable for a good fly restaurant.

So I ended up picking this hotel.

"Ahsa, come here. Fan Youqiao greeted.

Ah Sa followed without saying a word.

When he arrived at the room, Fan Youqiao jokingly said: "Brother, you just open a standard room?" It disappointed me so much, I thought there was a presidential suite to enjoy." ”

"I'm not a tyrant. Just find a private place to talk, what do you want in the presidential suite. The money saved, I'll ask you to go to a spa later. Du Caige said casually.

"Brother is interesting!" Fan Youqiao walked around the room and sat in a chair.

And Ah Sa didn't look at it, and sat directly on the bed.

Du Caige sat on the single sofa and threw the unopened pack of cigarettes he had just bought on the coffee table. "You can smoke as much as you want, I don't mind. ”

"There's no alcohol, and smoking is not fun. Fan Youqiao smiled and pushed the cigarette back.

After a pause, he said, "Brother, let's get straight to the point, what do you think about our 'Xunyin'?"
