The next day, when Xia Yufeng arrived at the coffee shop that he had agreed to meet with Between the Lines, it was already ten o'clock.
Pushing open the door, there were only a few people in the elegant and quiet coffee shop. Light music that could cultivate one's soul echoed in the shop. According to the description on the phone, Xia Yufeng found him in the cafe at a glance. The man in a black jacket and jeans was sitting in the corner of the cafe, reading a magazine with a refreshing hairstyle.
Hello, is this Between the Lines?”Xia Yufeng walked to the man's side and asked politely.
"You must be Xiao Xia. Come, have a seat.”When the man heard Xia Yufeng's question, he put down the magazine, smiled at Xia Yufeng, and then asked Xia Yufeng to sit opposite him.
After sitting down, Xia Yufeng sized up the man in front of him. He had a clean and delicate face, sharp eyebrows, double eyelids, big eyes, a straight nose bridge, and thin lips. He was handsome and elegant. As expected of someone in the entertainment industry. With this face, she could still make a living.
?
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Zhehao, and I'm currently the music director of XX Record Company.”?
"Hello, Brother Hao. My name is Xia Yufeng." After the introduction, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries.?
"Xiao Xia, let's get down to business. I really admire you. I hope you can consider my suggestion. Your lyrics are very well written, and most importantly, your words are very spiritual, which is very rare. With my experience in this industry, if you manage it well and have enough opportunities, you will shine in the field of music. There is a lack of excellent lyrickists in the mainland now.”?
"Brother Hao, you flatter me. To be honest, I just like to write lyrics. I didn't expect to get your praise. As for entering the entertainment industry, I've never thought about it. I don't think being a celebrity is something people like us can talk about.”
"Xiao Xia, let me tell you a story. Six years ago, a man graduated from a prestigious law school and came to Beijing with enthusiasm. He thought that he could make a career with his excellent diploma and excellent professional standards. However, reality made the boy realize how naive he was. Because he had no idea how far the distance between reality and his dreams was. Even though he worked harder than anyone else, sometimes opportunities and connections were more important than so-called hard work and strength. However, he refused to admit defeat. He persisted, but the more he persisted, the more disappointed he became.
Just as he was about to lose all hope and confidence, he happened to see an original youth song competition on the Internet. This was because the boy had always liked music. He was proficient in guitar and piano and had self-taught composition. Thus, in his desperate situation, he once again mustered his courage and prepared to fight. He trapped himself in the house for three days, creating, modifying, and repeating, striving to create the most ideal work.
Finally, three days later, he composed a song called "Never Give Up" based on his experiences and feelings. In the end, his hard work did not go to waste. He won the second prize of the competition. Not only did he receive 8000 yuan in cash from the competition, but he also got the opportunity to sign a contract with the company.
From then on, he switched from the legal profession to music creation. A few years had passed, and this boy had already achieved quite a lot. He was also walking step by step towards the peak of his dream. At this point in the story, I think you've probably guessed who this boy is. That's right, it's me.
Xiao Xia, I'm telling you this because I want to say that nothing is impossible in this world, and nothing is destined. What truly determined success was a person's own understanding and assurance of success, and then the determination to give.
And your situation is very similar to mine. At that time, I simply loved music and never thought of doing this. After all, for a child who came from the countryside, getting into a famous university and having a good major, it would be such a waste if he didn't persist in doing it. It was so incomprehensible and regretful. And that was exactly what I thought at the time.
If I hadn't experienced some setbacks and seen through some cruel reality, I would have understood. Perhaps I could really try to work hard in another direction. Aren't you standing at a fork in the road now? Why can't you just try turning left?
Xiao Xia, I feel that no matter what, you have the talent and ability in this area. You should try bravely and believe in yourself. Know yourself, understand what you have and what you like, and then choose a direction to work hard. This is the way to success.”
Qin Zhehao seemed to describe his struggle in an understated manner, but in Xia Yufeng's heart, he was extremely surprised. At the same time, it touched the string in the depths of Xia Yufeng's heart.
Qin Zhehao was right. Know yourself, understand what you have, and what you like. Only by choosing a direction and working hard can you succeed. It was an ancient saying that interest was half the success.
After figuring this out, Xia Yufeng no longer hesitated. He looked at Qin Zhehao and said,""Brother Hao, thank you. You're right. I should believe in myself. To be honest, I don't have a choice now. I'm really happy to get your approval. Since you think highly of me, I have no reason not to believe in myself. Brother Hao, I'll listen to you.”After saying that, Xia Yufeng raised the coffee on the table and toasted Qin Zhehao.
"Hehe, I didn't misjudge you. This is the real you. Come, let's drink to our reunion and our cooperation.”Qin Zhehao raised his coffee and said loudly to Xia Yufeng. Xia Yufeng also resolutely raised the cup of slightly cold coffee in return.
When the cups collided, the slight sound set off a huge wave in Xia Yufeng's heart. The rolling waves washed away the haze that had been accumulating in Xia Yufeng's heart for a long time. He became confident and had a firm direction to fight in. His trembling heartbeat vividly recorded this moment.
In an interview a year later, Xia Yufeng even mentioned this part. Of course, this was a later story.
Just like that, Xia Yufeng and Qin Zhehao got to know each other in this cafe and recognized each other. They talked a lot about life, relationships, and of course, the music they liked the most.
The two of them sat in the coffee shop for more than an hour before leaving the coffee shop with waning interest. Outside, Qin Zhehao said mysteriously that he would bring Xia Yufeng to a good place. When Xia Yufeng asked where it was, Qin Zhehao kept his mouth shut. She just smiled and said that she would know.
The car shuttled through the spacious avenue. Xia Yufeng sat calmly in the car. At this moment, he had a new feeling, that was," His life is officially on the road."
The wind was blowing slowly outside the window. A sentence, a person, or a story was receding. Who knew?
