Chapter 232: Don't Let Your Capital Lose Value Too Quickly
"In this short paragraph, try to drop a KEY. Du Caige took off his headphones, while Jiang Youxi bit his lip and nodded seriously.
After thinking for a while, Du Caige beckoned to Han Lu, a Sven man in his early 40s, who was assigned to be in charge of Jiang Youxi's recording of the song.
"Any instructions, Mr. Hemingway. The other party said politely.
Du Caige was also polite to him: "Teacher Han, please add gourd silk to me in this paragraph." ”
Han Lu quickly fell into deep thought, as if simulating the effect in his mind, and then asked with a little confusion, "Are you sure?"
Du Caige smiled: "I'm not sure either, try it!"
Of course, Du Caige didn't think that his knowledge of music theory could surpass that of Zhou Jialun when he wrote "East Wind Breaks".
But when he was listening to a cover version, he saw the comments of netizens and thought that this paragraph with gourd silk had a very fairy effect.
Standing on the shoulders of those who came before me, it's so cool.
Of course, you have to ask him, whether this is really good, and where is the good, Du Caige can't say.
He was also not interested in dedicating this lifetime of life to learning music theory.
There are only 24 hours a day, and in addition to eating, drinking, and socializing, and earning money to support the family, the time for real study is very limited.
He has no system, no personal space, and will not have 24 hours longer than others.
If you spend your time learning music theory, where will you find time to pursue progress in filmmaking?
So he doesn't feel like he's made a mistake.
In the future, even if he sells the song, he will try not to participate in the recording, after all, this is not his strength.
After making a few small suggestions, Du Caige called Jiang Youxi to the side and said privately, "Don't be too stressed, just play normally." I heard Xiao Li say that you haven't slept in the middle of the night, this can't work, your body is your most important capital, you can't let this capital depreciate too quickly. ”
Jiang Youxi blinked, "Brother, I know this truth, but I'm too nervous." What if I lose?"
Du Caige spread his hands: "If you lose, you lose, it's not like I haven't lost a little thing." ”
"That's not going to work, I can't let you lose because of me, I have to do my best here. ”
Du Caige stared at him for a while before saying, "This momentum is right. It's not just this one song, you have to take every song seriously, every performance, and always do your best. ”
Jiang Youxi smiled miserably: "I'm working hard, but I'm really tired, and I can't see hope." Brother, what do you think of my singing qualifications?"
"The posture of a man. ”
This answer obviously did not surprise Jiang Youxi, he nodded, and asked again: "Then do you think I have any hope of becoming a singer?"
Du Caige smiled: "Frankly speaking, there is very little hope. There's only one chance. ”
Jiang Youxi lowered his head, and after a while, he raised his head again, his eyes were resolute: "I thought there was no chance at all." But I trust your judgment, brother, if you say that there is a slight chance, then there must be. Since I don't have a chance at all, I'll do my best to do it. ”
Du Caige nodded, not saying anything sensational.
There's nothing to sensationalize about that.
That's how it should be.
For example, in 2002, 17 million people were born, and by 2020, even if repeat students and skipping students are added, only 10 million people will take the college entrance examination (the rest are eliminated in the previous stage).
Of the 10 million people who took the college entrance examination, less than 7,000 were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
7,000 to 17 million, it is really a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops.
is lower than the probability of a singer becoming a singer and a singer.
But the competition is so fierce, you don't dare to aspire to be admitted to Peking University?
Maybe the teacher tells you that your qualifications are average, and you can get to 985 and 211 if you work hard, but the probability of being admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University is very low.
What about you, you just give up your dreams and stop working hard for Tsinghua University and Peking University?
Convince yourself that I don't have this kind of life, just report an ordinary 985 honestly, and let those high-IQ geniuses work hard for Tsinghua University and Peking University.
So why didn't Tsinghua University and Peking University simply replace the college entrance examination with an IQ test?
Do you know what is the fate of the most talented person in the world, with an IQ of more than 160, a camera memory, and a super comprehension ability?
Destitution, alcohol poisoning.
Talent is a person's platform, and hard work is the engine that pushes the platform up!
No matter how good the talent is, if there is no engine, it can only stay where it is, and sooner or later it will be surpassed.
Even if the qualifications are mediocre, hard work and a certain amount of luck may not fail to achieve success.
Even if it doesn't work, ask for it and get it.
Du Caige does not require Jiang Youxi to become the king of singers.
He's not so NT.
What he asks is that Jiang Youxi has the spirit of hard work and strives to become the king of singers.
Even if he doesn't succeed in the end, he can at least become a singer who will go down in history, so as to live up to those classic songs from the earth.
You Jiang Youxi are not willing to work hard, then I also think you are a friend worth making, but I won't give you a good song, it's too wasteful.
You Jiang Youxi are willing to work hard, that's a matter of course, and you are not fighting for me, so I don't bother to encourage you. But good songs can give you a few, at least you won't bury these classics.
"You can try to expand your musical field. It's not the same as before, like Su Rui, who can become a singer by just singing love songs, can't do it in this era. After thinking about it for a while, Du Caige gave a suggestion.
"How to expand?" Jiang Youxi did not reject, but was puzzled, "Rock and Ballad R&B Rap or, Ancient Style?"
"You can try it, you're still so young, don't rush to fix your style. Of course, in terms of releasing albums, you still can't change too quickly, you must stabilize the basic disc first, and then slowly change. It's just that in your usual practice, you can try a little more style. ”
Jiang Youxi smiled and nodded: "Listen to you, brother." Do you have any recommendations?"
Du Caige thought for a while, "I'll give you a few songs in a few days." But you promised me that you are not allowed to release it now, just like "One Night in the North", wait for me to say when you can release it, and then record and release it. ”
"Listen to you," Jiang Youxi regained the hippie smile he had when he faced Du Caige before, "Brother, what do you think of my singing today?"
Du Caige wanted to say "okay", but hesitated for a moment, not wanting to dampen his enthusiasm, nodded and said, "It's good." ”
"Is there any reward for me?"
Du Caige glared at him: "Why should I give you a reward!"
Jiang Youxi was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "You are my brother, I sing well, of course you have to give some encouragement and some rewards." I don't have high requirements, you can help me say hello to Sister Xiaochen, the last of her tour, let me be a warm-up guest!"
Du Caige was puzzled: "It's at least two days to come and go, how much time do you have?"
Jiang Youxi put away his smile: "Sister Xiaochen's tour this time, only the first and last performances are allowed to be broadcast live on TV stations, and the number of viewers must be very large." The gap between the number of fans I have now and Peng Sizhang is too big, so I want to rub on Sister Xiaochen's popularity, so that when "Dongfeng Break" is released, I can add a little chance of winning. ”
Seeing Du Caige frowning unmoved, Jiang Youxi shouted: "Brother, I heard that Peng Sizhang spent a lot of money to ask Yu Fei to fill in the lyrics for a song this time, just to fight with you." Yu Fei, you also know that a few years ago, there was a saying in the industry that 'Yu Fei in the north, Lin Ke in the south'. Although he is actually much worse than you, I am also much worse than Peng Sizhang. Brother, if you don't want to find a way, I'm really afraid that you will lose this time. The reason you lost is not that the songs you wrote are not good enough, but that I am not good enough. ”
Seeing that he was honest, Du Caige was also a little moved. After thinking for a while, Du Caige said: "Her last concert is the day after tomorrow, temporary stopper, I don't know if it's okay, I'll help you ask first." ”
Jiang Youxi said with a smile: "Brother, don't pretend." If you speak, can Sister Xiaochen not listen?"
Du Caige glared at him angrily.
"Anyway, brother, the new song you wrote for Sister Xiaochen is really good. "Red High Heels", I bet Sister Xiaochen likes it too, she sings very devotedly. ”
Du Caige nodded with affection.
In fact, Cai Jianya is also a female singer he likes very much, which is very distinctive.
Du Caige originally felt that there was not much time left for Duan Xiaochen to practice, and it would be good to be able to sing at the same level as Cai Jianya's version.
Unexpectedly, Duan Xiaochen gave him a surprise.
In such a short period of time, Duan Xiaochen adjusted the arrangement, making the style of the song more brisk, and making some changes in the singing.
If Cai Jianya's version is a full score, 100 points, then Duan Xiaochen's version can really score 101 points, which is breakthrough and innovative.
"I still have something to do, you can continue to practice, I'll give you an answer after I've finished communicating with Xiaochen later." ”
"Brother, go slowly. ”
Du Caige left in a hurry, preparing to go back to contact Duan Xiaochen.
Before entering the elevator, he was stopped by Xie Yunzi.
Her eyes were a little swollen and bloodshot, and it was clear that she had just cried bitterly.
I didn't touch up my makeup, I just washed my face and turned my face to the sky.
The appearance is really good, especially the youthful and invincible taste.
It's a pity that she has a good skin, but it's a pity that she has a good voice.
Her external conditions will never be lost to Su Manqian.
If she works hard, the probability of becoming a singer is at least 10 times higher than that of Jiang Youxi becoming a singer.
It's a pity that the emotional intelligence is too low.
Du Caige looked at her, wanting to be calm, but couldn't do it, so he raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling: "Figured it out?"
Xie Yunzi's voice was a little hoarse: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Hemingway, I lost my temper just now, and I misunderstood you without understanding the situation, I'm really sorry." ”
She didn't bow this time, but her voice was sincere, at least it didn't sound offensive.
Du Caige nodded: "Okay, I accept your apology." Anything else?"
Xie Yunzi bit her lip: "I still want to buy your songs." ”
"Price?"
"Just as you say. ”
Du Caige bypassed her and walked to the elevator: "Let your agent call me tomorrow and make an appointment to sign the contract." ”
Xie Yunzi turned around and chased him: "Mr. Hemingway, can you be my producer?"
Du Caige waved his hand: "Goodbye." ”
Step into the elevator calmly.
