Wen Wan felt something stuck in her throat when she heard this. Yes, it is not good for a person to start from too high a point.

It’s just like the saying “It’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from frugality to extravagance”. It’s not easy to make progress if the starting point is too high, and once you start to decline, there will definitely be a gap.

Jia Xibei thought for a moment and continued, "I was really confident at the time. I thought I was a genius, and I really wanted to develop into songwriting, so I studied music in college. From my freshman year to graduation, I was full of confidence."

"After graduation, the reality of society hit me hard. I took it much more seriously than I did in high school and started writing songs in earnest, revising them over and over again until they were perfect."

"That song did sell, but the results were truly disappointing. Compared to the previous two songs, it was nothing! It's driving me crazy!"

No matter how depressed her words were, Wen Wan always looked at her with a smile on her face. "It's really hard for someone who claims to be a genius to find out that he or she is not a genius at all."

She paused after she finished speaking, then changed her tone and said, "But I don't think your success is all due to luck. I think the fact that you were able to write those two classic lyrics shows that you have some ability."

"If you don't have any real talent, your writing is nothing. No one will want it, no matter how lucky you are! But...success does require some luck!"

"Don't always think that this is because your form has declined. Maybe you have really been improving, but you just lack some luck. For anything to become popular, it requires the right time, place, and people!"

"I know!" Jia Xibei smiled after hearing her words. "I've long since accepted the fact that I'm just an ordinary person, but learning to reconcile with myself...is indeed a painful process."

"I was so depressed at the time and couldn't sleep at night, so I thought about going out for a walk..."

Wen Wan didn't wait for her to finish and asked, "And then you ran into Coke?"

"...and then it started to rain heavily!" Jia Xibei said with a resentful look on his face.

Wen Wan couldn't help laughing out loud. If this person were unlucky, even drinking water would get stuck in his teeth.

She no longer wants to leave Africa and join the EU, because leaving Africa and joining the EU and then returning to Africa would be more difficult than staying in Africa forever.

Jia Xibei sighed helplessly, then continued, "It suddenly started to rain heavily, and I didn't bring an umbrella with me, so I had to find a place to shelter from the rain, and then I ran into Kele who was also taking shelter from the rain."

"Then I thought, we really are in the same boat, so I asked it if it wanted to come home with me. It kept rubbing against my legs, and finally stopped, so I took it home."

"I was thinking the same thing as you at the time. How could such a good-looking Corgi be abandoned? It must have been lost accidentally, so I decided to help her find her owner."

"I searched for it for several days but couldn't find it. Then the owner of a shop nearby told me that it was abandoned by its owner because it was sick and unhealthy."

Wen Wan's heart ached when she heard this. She sighed and said, "Why do people like this always exist? Birth, aging, sickness, and death are just natural laws. If you're not prepared for them, why would you want to take care of them?"

"Just because it's a dog, can we just abandon it when it gets sick? This kind of people really makes me feel terrible. If they abandon a sick dog, what if their parents or children get sick? Would they also abandon them?"

"Since you decided to keep it, why did you abandon it so cruelly? If Keke was a stray dog ​​from the beginning, it wouldn't feel sad about being a stray dog."

"But it once had a home that sheltered it from the wind and rain, and then it was abandoned and left to wander. Even if it is a dog, it would be sad!"

Jia Xibei also sighed and said with some emotion, "Isn't that how people are nowadays? They do things on a whim and forget about them when they're no longer interested!"

"Kola was so well-behaved at that time, so well-behaved that it made me feel distressed. Maybe he was afraid of being abandoned again! After I knew he was abandoned, I prepared to treat his illness!"

"To be honest, it's really expensive to treat a dog. Sometimes it's even more expensive than treating a human. But I think money can be earned again, but life is gone forever, so I resolutely decided to treat her."

"Sometimes I feel like Coke is a little angel sent to me by God. We accompany each other through the hard times and are happy every day. Life with Coke is really, really happy."

"That's great." Wen Wan said with a smile.

Jia Xibei couldn't help laughing. "Then I picked myself up and studied why I failed. After careful research, I found that it wasn't because the songs I wrote were bad, but because they didn't suit the current market."

"Many internet celebrity songs nowadays are mainly brainwashing. There are very few songs with substance. They are also full of various plagiarized songs, and the quality is getting worse and worse."

"But this is the era we live in. If I want to make money, I can only follow the trend. After all, money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat!"

"But I really don't want to follow the crowd, so I choose to write what I want to write. Even if it doesn't become popular or make money, it doesn't matter. At least it's what I want to do! Anyway, with those two old songs, I won't starve to death!"

Wen Wan suddenly smiled with relief when she heard this, "That's true. I think you've always had the ability, you just lacked an opportunity, so..."

"I, your master, intend to give you a great opportunity!"

Jia Xibei exclaimed in confusion, "Huh?"

"Are you interested in the OST of "Jianghu Fengyu"? " Wen Wan asked her with a smile.

Wen Wan's words were like thunder in Jia Xibei's ears, and she was stunned on the spot. She widened her eyes in surprise and pointed at herself and asked without saying a word, "Jiang... Jiang Hu Feng Yu? I... I... Can I?"

"Why not if you have the ability?" Wen Wan asked with a smile.

"No..." Jia Xibei bit his lip. "'Jianghu Fengyu' invested so much in this big IP, it's incredible that I was allowed to be in the OST!"

"What's so incredible about that?" Wen Wan said disapprovingly, then patted her chest and said, "It's well known that I, Wen Xiaowan! I'm a resourceful person!"

"So I share some resources with my apprentice, what's wrong with that?"

Jia Xibei bit his lower lip hard and said unconfidently, "I... I'm afraid I won't perform well and embarrass you again."

Wen Wan smiled slightly and said softly, "There is only success in this matter! There is no failure!"

Her tone was obviously gentle, but Jia Xibei felt terrified and quickly assured, "Yes!!"

Seeing that she agreed, Wen Wan didn't say anything more. After chatting all the way back to the community, they went back home to find their mothers.
