Chapter 232 Don't let your capital depreciate too fast

"In this short paragraph, try lowering a KEY." Du Caige took off his earphones, while Jiang Youxi bit her lip and nodded earnestly.

After thinking for a while, Du Caige beckoned to call Han Lu, a gentleman in his early 40s who was temporarily assigned to record the song by Jiang Youxi.

"Any instructions, Mr. Hemingway," said the other politely.

Du Caige also treated him politely: "Mr. Han, please add cucurbit silk to me in this paragraph."

Han Lu quickly fell into contemplation, as if to simulate the effect in his mind, and then asked with a little doubt: "Are you sure?"

Du Caige smiled: "I'm not sure either, try it!"

Du Caige certainly doesn't think that his knowledge of music theory can surpass that of Zhou Jialun when he wrote "Dongfeng Po".

But when he was listening to a certain cover version, he saw the comments of netizens and thought that the addition of cucurbit silk in this section would have a very immortal effect.

It is so cool to stand on the shoulders of the predecessors.

Of course, you have to ask him if this is really good, and what is so good, Du Caige can't tell.

He is also not interested in taking this life time to learn music theory.

There are only 24 hours in a day, apart from eating, drinking, interpersonal communication, earning money to support the family, and the time for real study is very limited.

He has no system, no personal space, and no more 24 hours than others.

If you spend your time learning music theory, where will you find the time to pursue progress in filmmaking?

So he didn't think his choice was wrong.

In the future, even if he sells the songs, he will try not to participate in the recording, after all, this is not his forte.

After making a few small suggestions, Du Caige called Jiang Youxi aside to talk privately, "Don't be too stressed, just play normally. I heard Xiao Li say that you don't sleep in the middle of the night, that's not good, your body is the most important thing for you. Capital, you can’t let this capital depreciate too quickly.”

Jiang Youxi blinked, "Brother, I know the truth, but I'm too nervous. What if I lose?"

Du Caige spread out his hands: "If you lose, you will lose. It's not like I haven't lost a little thing."

"That won't work. You can't 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 song, you must take every song seriously, every performance, and always be your best."

Jiang Youxi smiled miserably: "I'm working hard, but I'm really tired, and I can't see any hope. Brother, what do you think of my singing aptitude?"

"The pose of a middle man."

This answer obviously did not surprise Jiang Youxi, he nodded and asked again: "Then do you think I have hope of becoming the king of singers?"

Du Caige smiled: "Frankly speaking, the hope is slim. There is only a tiny chance."

Jiang Youxi lowered her head, looked up again after a while, her eyes were firm: "I thought there was no chance at all. But I believe in your judgment, brother, if you say there is a little chance, then there must be. Since it is not a chance at all , then I will do my best to do it.”

Du Caige nodded without saying anything sensational.

This is nothing to be provocative.

It should be so.

For example, in 2002, 17 million people were born. In 2020, even with repeaters and grade skippers, only 10 million people will take the college entrance examination (the rest were eliminated in the previous stage).

Among the 10 million people who took the college entrance examination, less than 7,000 were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

70 million to 17 million, it is really a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.

It is lower than the probability that a singer will become a singer and a queen.

But the competition is so fierce, you dare not aspire to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University?

Maybe the teacher told you that your qualifications are average, you can get into 985 and 211 with a little effort, but the probability of being admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University is very low.

What about you, you give up your dreams and stop working hard for Tsinghua University and Peking University?

convince yourself,

I don't have this kind of life, I honestly report an ordinary 985, and let those geniuses with high IQ work hard for Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Then why didn't Tsinghua and Peking University simply replace the college entrance examination with an IQ test?

Do you know what the fate of the most talented person in the world, with an IQ of over 160, a camera memory, and a super understanding ability?

Poverty and alcoholism.

Talent is a person's platform, and effort is the engine that pushes the platform up!

No matter how good the talent is, if there is no engine, it can only stay in place and be surpassed sooner or later.

Even if the qualifications are mediocre, but with hard work and a certain amount of luck, it may not fail to succeed.

Even if you don't succeed, ask for it and get it.

Du Caige did not require Jiang Youxi to be the king of singers.

He is not so NT.

What he requires is that Jiang Youxi has the spirit of unremitting struggle and strives to become the king of singers.

Even if he doesn't succeed in the end, he can at least become a famous singer in history, so as to live up to those classic songs from the earth.

You Jiang Youxi is not willing to work hard, then I also think you are a friend worth making, but I won't give you good songs, it's too wasteful.

You, Jiang Youxi, are willing to work hard, and that is a matter of course. You are not fighting for me, so I am too lazy to encourage you. But good songs can give you a few, at least you won't bury the classics.

"You can try to expand your music field. It's not the past. Like Su Rui, who can sing as a singer just by singing love songs, it can't be done in this era." After thinking for a while, Du Caige gave a suggestion.

"How to expand?" Jiang Youxi did not reject it, but wondered, "Rock? Folk? R\u0026B? Rap? Or, ancient style?"

"You can try it. You are still so young, don't rush to set your own style. Of course, when it comes to releasing an album, you can't change too fast. You must stabilize the basic game first, and then slowly change it. It's just your usual practice. , you can try some more styles.”

Jiang Youxi smiled and nodded: "I'll 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 won't be allowed to release it now, just like "One Night in the North", wait until I tell you when you can release it, and then record and release it."

"Listen to you," Jiang Youxi resumed the hippie smile she had when facing Du Caige before, "Brother, how do you think I sang today?"

Du Caige wanted to say "it's okay", but hesitated for a moment, not wanting to hurt his enthusiasm, nodded and said, "It's good."

"Is there any reward for me?"

Du Caige glared at him: "Why should I reward you!"

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 reward. I don't ask too much, you help me say hello to sister Xiaochen, she is on tour. In the last game, let me be a warm-up guest!"

Du Caige was puzzled: "It takes at least two days to come and go, how much time do you have?"

Jiang Youxi put away her smile: "Sister Xiaochen's concert tour this time, only the first and last concerts are allowed to be broadcast live on TV, and there must be a lot of viewers. The gap between the number of fans between me and Peng Sizhang is too big, so I want to rub off. Taking advantage of the popularity of Sister Xiaochen, when you release "Dongfeng Po", you can increase your chances of winning."

Seeing Du Caige frowning unmoved, Jiang Youxi shouted, "Brother, I heard that Peng Sizhang paid a lot of money to ask Yu Fei to write lyrics for a song, just to compete with you. Yu Fei, you know, the former In recent years, there has been a saying in the industry that 'Beijing Yufei, Nan Linke'. Although he is actually much worse than you, I am also much worse than Peng Sizhang. Brother, if you don't want to do something, I'm really afraid that this time you will Lose. It's not that your songs aren't good enough, it's that I'm not good enough."

Seeing him speak frankly, Du Caige was also a little moved. After thinking for a while, Du Caige said, "Her last concert will be the day after tomorrow. I'll stop it temporarily. I don't know if it will work. I'll ask you first."

Jiang Youxi said with a smile: "Brother, stop pretending. When you speak, can sister Xiaochen not listen?"

Du Caige glared at him angrily.

"By the way, brother, the new song you wrote for Sister Xiaochen is really good. "Red High Heels", I bet Sister Xiaochen also likes it very much. She sings very well."

Du Caige nodded heartily.

In fact, Cai Jianya is also a female singer he likes very much, very distinctive.

Du Caige originally thought 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 to make the style of the song lighter, and also made some changes to the singing.

If Cai Jianya's version is a perfect score, 100 points, Duan Xiaochen's version can really score 101 points, which is breakthrough and innovative.

"I still have something to do. Keep practicing. I'll finish communicating with Xiaochen later, and I'll give you an answer."

"Brother, walk slowly."

Du Caige left in a hurry, ready to go back to contact Duan Xiaochen.

Before entering the elevator, she was stopped by Xie Yunzi.

Her eyes were a little swollen and bloodshot all over her eyeballs, obviously she had just cried a lot.

I didn't touch up my makeup, I just washed my face with my face turned upside down.

The face value is really good, especially the taste of youthful invincibility.

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 lose to Su Manqian.

If she works hard, the possibility of becoming the queen of songs is at least 10 times higher than that of Jiang Youxi becoming the king of singers.

Too bad it's so low.

Du Caige looked at her and wanted to calm down, but he couldn't, so he raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling: "Have you figured it out?"

Xie Yunzi's voice was a little hoarse: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Hemingway, I lost my way 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. Is there anything else?"

Xie Yunzi bit her lip: "I still want to buy your song."

"price?"

"Just as you said."

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 followed him: "Mr. Hemingway, can you be my producer?"

Du Caige waved his hand: "Goodbye."

Step into the elevator calmly.
