Chapter 24 If
The next day, "Her Eyelashes" was already ranked fifth on the Hot Songs Chart, and judging by the trend, it is very likely to slowly surpass the previous four songs.
Of course, this doesn't mean that "Her Eyelashes" is better than the others, but because after all, Valentine's Day is still a sweet holiday, and everyone naturally likes sweet and beautiful things.
Just like the movies during the Spring Festival, comedies are always more popular than tragedies, because a festival like the Spring Festival is about joy, festivity and a lively atmosphere.
A sad and sorrowful film, no matter how profound its core is, how lofty its intention is, or how satirical, revealing or criticizing reality it is, or how high its artistic value is, will find it difficult to achieve dazzling results at the Spring Festival box office.
Because many times after watching such tragic movies, the audience feels: it is so well-made and so touching, but I feel very sad after watching it and I don’t want to watch it a second time.
A good comedy is one that people can’t help but watch twice or three times because it’s so funny and makes people happy after watching it.
Last night, artists under Fuyun Entertainment spontaneously promoted the song, which led many fans to listen to it.
To be honest, last night many artists from Fuyun Entertainment didn’t listen to "Her Eyelashes" themselves, but recommended it to their fans. Even the post was made by their assistants.
Because it doesn't matter whether it sounds good or not. Not to mention that "Her Eyelashes" is a flower, they recommend fans to smell it. Even if it sounds as bad as shit, they will still recommend fans to try it.
There is no way. Society is not about fighting bravely, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.
If no one posts, then just pretend you didn’t see it and don’t know it.
But everyone else sent it, but you didn't? What, do you have a problem with the young master? !
When your boss asks you to give him feedback, no one will actually do it, right?
It felt great when you mentioned it, maybe my sense of responsibility was satisfied at that moment.
You look down upon everyone present here. You are all mediocre people, but I am the only one who is conscientious in my duties and dares to speak out!
But maybe tomorrow you will be fired because you entered the company with your right foot first.
Just like there may be surveillance cameras next to the anonymous petition mailbox, it is up to you whether to submit your opinions or not.
Because most of the time people don't feel grateful when faced with criticism.
Even when our parents criticize us, we can’t help but feel annoyed and resentful, let alone other people?
Because of this sudden wave of popularity, many music critics online have commented on the song "Her Eyelashes".
The Impulse of a Troublemaker: "The church organ in the prelude makes people feel like they are back in classical Europe. When I thought it was a sad song, electric guitar and drums suddenly joined in. OK, rock, and the melody line of the main song is actually R&B! Maybe it is the 'weirdness' of this melody that makes this thoroughly minor melody of the main song not feel 'sad'."
Tingfeng Nianjiuyan: "The transition from the verse to the chorus is eye-opening. The key change is so natural, so casual, and so smooth! It turns out that every weird melody in the verse is a foreshadowing for the chorus, which is a brand new theme. The second chorus has a completely different melody from the first chorus, and even the beat type is different."
Sakuno Mingjian: "If you take these two melodies separately, you would never think that they are in the same song, written by the same person."
丷墨间: "The song structure at the beginning is a common double chorus arrangement, verse A, chorus A, verse B, chorus B, and then the interlude. Up to this point, it was within my expectations, but what surprised me the most was that when the double chorus was sung at the same time at the end, there was no disharmony, it was so natural and smooth."
"Many people may not have heard of the name Chen Mo, but careful netizens may have discovered that he is the composer of the top five songs on the hot song list! If "King of Karaoke" and "Transfer of Love" show his profound lyrics writing skills, then this song "Her Eyelashes" is undoubtedly a show of the arrangement skills of this talented musician."
Chen Mo and Jiang Congwen had no time to care about the commotion on the Internet, because Chen Mo was helping Jiang Congwen pack up and prepare to move, and Li Jinting would come back today to get her things.
"I say, can't you wait for Li Jinting to come back, and then you two can clean up together? Why do you have to call me over so early in the morning?" Chen Mo complained as he looked at the room full of things.
"Hey! I'm doing this so that I can pack up and move out earlier, to make room for your love, so that you can get the upper hand over the water." Jiang Congwen looked like he was saying, "You don't know how to appreciate a good person."
"Come on, I think you asked me to be a light bulb just because you were afraid of seeing Li Jinting embarrassed later." Chen Mo exposed mercilessly.
"Embarrassed? What do I have to be embarrassed about?" Jiang Congwen denied it.
"Then why are you walking around without even packing up your things? What are you so nervous about?"
"I'm not nervous at all. It's just that there are too many things and they are too messy. I don't know where to start."
"Wipe the sweat from your forehead before you say that." Chen Mo said speechlessly.
"I've been cleaning up for a while now, and I feel a little hot." Jiang Congwen took two pieces of paper to wipe the sweat off his face and said nonchalantly.
Chen Mo looked at the house which had hardly changed since he first arrived, and was speechless. "What have you packed?"
"By the way, your video has been post-produced. When are you going to release it?" Chen Mo asked.
"Just these two days, to warm up before Valentine's Day."
"Last night I told my fans in the live broadcast room that they wanted to listen to sweeter songs on Valentine's Day, but I didn't expect that I would sing "Ten Years" the next day." Jiang Congwen couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, the story in this video is quite similar to that of you and Li Jinting."
"Look, one is going abroad and the other is making her debut. Aren't they similar? Maybe in a few years Li Jinting will still be thinking about you." Chen Mo joked.
"Then thank you first." Jiang Congwen said with a fake smile.
"I say, you are very different from the male protagonist in the story. In the story, the gap between the man and the woman is too big. A rich girl and a taxi driver, plus the girl's parents are against it, so the male protagonist backed off." Chen Mo comforted Jiang Congwen when he saw that he was not in a good mood.
"What's the difference between this and the female CEO falling in love with the company security guard in idol dramas? Even if the female protagonist is willing to be with the male protagonist regardless of the consequences, it is difficult for the two to get married. The social circles, consumption concepts, and family backgrounds of these two people are destined to have constant conflicts in life."
"But you and Li Jinting are different. First, you two have no emotional problems, and second, there are no family issues. You don't have any internal conflicts. As long as you can withstand external pressure, it is entirely possible for you to reconcile."
"Just like the saying goes, for you, I am willing to fight the whole world!" Chen Mo encouraged Jiang Congwen.
"Look at you, you're doing so well now. Your DouLe account has over 5 million followers, right? Once 'Ten Years' is released, you'll probably gain even more followers."
"I guess you can help Li Jinting canvass votes when she participates in the show later. The producer of 'Star of Tomorrow' is the company behind DouLe." The more Chen Mo analyzed, the more feasible it seemed.
"Even if I can help her now, she won't come back." Jiang Congwen was silent for a while before speaking bitterly.
"I know her. She is so strong-willed and stubborn."
"If she chooses to leave me and fight alone when I can't help her, and she comes back when I can help her, then what has she become?"
"She just can't get over it in her heart. She can't convince herself."
"I know all this very well. I know all this." Jiang Congwen's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.
"I just know her personality too well to know that it's impossible."
"How about you make a five-year agreement and meet at the top five years later. If you are not married and she is not married, then you can get back together." Chen Mo suggested.
"Have you watched too many movies?" Jiang Congwen cursed.
"She just doesn't want me to wait for her for so long, waiting for an uncertain future, do you understand?"
"Well, this is exactly the same as breaking up abroad." Chen Mo touched his chin and nodded. So he was right at the beginning. He had gone around in circles and ended up back here, right?
"." Jiang Congwen.
"Chen Mo, actually these past few days I couldn't help but think sometimes, if only I had discovered earlier that you were such a good songwriter."
"At that time, I would definitely shamelessly ask you to write a song for Jinting. The song you wrote is so good, she wouldn't have to go out on her own."
"Then do we not have to separate?" Jiang Congwen asked himself with a wry smile.
If you can afford to make a mistake
Miss everything that can be wrong
It should still be time to repent.]
"If her attitude wasn't so resolute, and she had broken up with you a few days later, and if I had known that you could write songs before she did, would we have never broken up?" Jiang Congwen's eyes seemed to be filled with hope for something.
If I hadn't said everything
That little storm will be swept away with a smile
What is the self in front of love?
It is better to just get by.】
"Or maybe when she asked for a breakup, I shouldn't have let go so quickly. I should have waited a few more days and sang all the songs you gave me to her. Would things be different now?"
If it weren't for me
Misunderstanding oneself free and easy
Makes us sad】
"If I had been able to get the account to where it is today earlier and been able to help her, would we have had a different ending?"
But you back then and I now
If I could do it again】
While listening to the music in his mind, Chen Mo watched Jiang Congwen muttering to himself and imagined all kinds of possibilities.
Finally, Chen Mo walked over and patted Jiang Congwen on the shoulder, and said softly:
“There aren’t so many ifs.”
So many ifs
maybe if i
Unfortunately, there is no if
Only the results remain]
Chen Mo looked at Jiang Congwen's self-deception and sighed softly. If you hadn't mentioned breaking up, you wouldn't have asked me to drink, and I wouldn't have written "King of Karaoke", so even if you delayed breaking up for a few more days, it wouldn't change anything.
But Chen Mo did not cruelly burst Jiang Congwen's fantasy.
Fate has arranged everything and is looking down at us teasingly from above, watching us follow the script it has arranged. We have no control over anything.
Jiang Congwen took some time alone to calm down, sort out his emotions, and finally regain his composure.
Children are willful and can cry or make a fuss anytime and anywhere.
If adults want to be willful, they have to choose a place and consider the time.
In your own room or in the company corridor.
Married people may smoke quietly in their car after get off work.
Anyway, just find a place where no one is around and process your emotions alone.
Also be careful not to take too long.
Because there is work tomorrow and life has to go on.
"Okay, stop talking about me. What about you? Have you fallen in love with Xu Hongdou?" Jiang Congwen asked with a smile.
"I do have a good impression of her." Chen Mo thought about it seriously and did not deny it like before.
"Then go after her and try to win her over," Jiang Congwen encouraged.
"I just have a good impression of her, I can't say I like her." Chen Mo shook his head and said.
"Not really? How do you know you don't like her?" Jiang Congwen asked.
"I don't know, so I need to find out more." Chen Mo said seriously.
"What else do you need to know? Just catch the person first." Jiang Congwen instigated.
"And then separate again if you find out they're not suitable?" Chen Mo asked.
"." Jiang Congwen.
"Isn't Xu Hongdou pretty?" Jiang Congwen asked doubtfully.
"Very beautiful." Chen Mo shook his head.
"That's okay."
"and then?"
"Then what?"
“Is being pretty enough?”
"Isn't being beautiful enough?"
"."Chen Mo.
"People will grow old." Chen Mo said with a sigh.
"Let me ask you, what is your impression of Xu Hongdou besides her beauty?" Chen Mo asked.
"And." Jiang Congwen thought about it but couldn't say. After all, they had only met two or three times.
"Look, you can't tell, and neither can I."
"We don't know each other. I don't know her yet, and she doesn't know me."
"How can I say I like someone like this?"
"Love at first sight?" Jiang Congwen came up with a reason.
"You might as well just say that I'm lusting after her body." Chen Mo said speechlessly. In his opinion, falling in love at first sight is equivalent to being lustful at first sight.
"Then you don't have it?" Jiang Congwen asked.
"."Chen Mo.
"Do I still like her? I just want to take advantage of her." Chen Mo frowned.
"Maybe you'll fall in love with it after you take advantage of it?"
"."Chen Mo.
"I noticed that you tend to become a scumbag after the breakup." Chen Mo looked at Jiang Congwen and said.
"Hey, don't slander me. I'm very dedicated and serious."
"Bad guys can also be very loyal to every relationship and be very serious about everyone. They are just more philanthropic."
"." Jiang Congwen was speechless.
"I was just worried about you just now. It wasn't my intention." Jiang Congwen smiled awkwardly.
"I actually don't really believe in feelings. Feelings can be deceiving. They can deceive others and yourself." Chen Mo said after thinking for a while.
"You just thought you liked her very much and fell in love with her at first sight."
"But life is not a fairy tale. It doesn't end with a simple sentence 'From then on, the prince and princess lived happily together'."
"In reality, the test of love often begins after two people are together."
"Because people change. If love is just a feeling, it can be easily worn away by the trivialities of life."
“And then you turn around and it happens to other people.”
"Because this feeling is very cheap, we can easily get it from different people."
"So the most common phrase people say when they are in love with someone else is 'I don't feel anything anymore'."
"You are so rational. I feel like it's hard for you to fall in love with someone because you don't believe in love." Jiang Congwen said after hearing what Chen Mo said.
"No, I believe it." Chen Mo shook his head.
"I am very lucky to have a happy family. My parents are the best role models for me."
"My father's words and actions taught me that love is more of a responsibility."
"So in my opinion, love is not a momentary feeling, but a long-lasting commitment."
“We are willing to respect each other, tolerate each other, sacrifice for each other, and achieve each other.”
"You will never imagine that my dad is completely different at work and at home." Having said that, Chen Mo couldn't help laughing.
"Uncle? Isn't he a very serious person?" Jiang Congwen thought about it. This was his impression of Chen Huaisong.
Hearing this, Chen Mo smiled happily. This was indeed the impression that outsiders had of his father.
But in fact, Chen Huaisong has never brought the dignity from outside back home, and it is difficult for outsiders to imagine that the chairman of Fuyun Entertainment would be a henpecked man at home.
Is Chen Huaisong really afraid of Fang Shuyun?
Chen Mo felt as if Chen Huaisong's respect for Fang Shuyun since childhood was telling him one thing, that his mother Fang Shuyun was the most important person in the family.
So Chen Mo's impression seemed to be that he had never had a particularly rebellious period, because at that time he was quite afraid of the clothes hanger in his mother's hand.
"Don't worry about me, just take your time with the relationship." Chen Mo did not answer Jiang Congwen's words, but said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as you have your own ideas."
"My own emotions are still a mess, and you, the emperor, are not as anxious as the eunuchs." Jiang Congwen said self-deprecatingly.
