Chapter 214 Tokyo Hot Soundtrack Shocks the Islanders
"I forgot to mention one just now!"
Dong Chen looked at Lin Zhixing, who had a look of astonishment on his face, and added: "The movie "Meat Futon: I Want an Official" used your song "Li Chun Yuan" as the soundtrack for the brothel, and that movie was also released during the National Day holiday. , but there are none in the mainland of Hong Kong City."
After saying that, he clapped his fingers and counted: "There are six movies in total. During the National Day period, Brother Lin, you are going to be popular!"
"Okay, okay."
Lin Zhixing smiled brightly after hearing this, patted Dong Chen on the shoulder and said, "During the National Day holiday, I'll treat you to watch all these movies!"
"Brother Xie Lin!"
Before Dong Chen could chat for a few words, he was called by the staff to get ready to go on stage.
After all, this is a variety show that favors reality shows over singing, and the ones at the bottom will not be eliminated. He and Ji Yu had a playful attitude and did not feel too much tension. Especially since Song Ge will be on stage soon, it will definitely be a quiet time, and the mentality will be more relaxed.
Lin Zhixing turned his head and saw a group of singers staring at him with admiration. It was probably the song "Gradually Attracted to You" that shocked them.
"Why!"
Mao Nan sighed and said to Deng Xiaoyu beside him: "Xiaoyu, the number of votes tonight may be overwhelming, and I may still be in last place..."
Deng Xiaoyu covered his face and said, "I have spent a whole day communicating with the arranger, but it seems like my time was wasted."
Although they haven't taken the stage yet, judging from the atmosphere in the theater just now, the singers know that there is a high probability that they will still be the tail end of the show.
Wang Feng, who was sitting in the corner backstage, looked very complicated at the moment.
I never expected that after carefully preparing songs for a week, I could not escape the fate of defeat...
Could it be that I, a veteran in the music scene, who has not released many records for two years, is now inferior to this newcomer who just debuted?
Which country will you go to next? Can you still regain the lost face?
…
…
On the gorgeous stage.
As the singers expected, everyone behind Fengqi Wutong encountered varying degrees of silence. After listening to "Gradually Attracted to You", the audience fell asleep.
After all the singers finished singing, the program team collected votes from the 500 audience members.
Five minutes later, the staff handed the statistics to the host, and the singers returned to the stage and lined up.
"Don't let the disparity in the number of votes be too great!"
Except for Fengqi Wutong, all the singers thought to themselves that the single-digit tickets in the last issue were really embarrassing.
The host looked at the cards in his hand and announced: "We have collected a total of 500 votes, 465 for Fengqi Wutong, 20 for Wang Feng, 5 for Leap Miracle, 5 for Deng Xiaoyu, 3 for Zhang Huichen, and 2 for Mao Nan. "
Harsh!
So harsh!
Once again, the difference in the number of votes was very different. When the other singers heard this number, they all lowered their heads in shame.
When Wang Feng saw the camera giving him a close-up, he immediately turned around and returned to the backstage.
Lin Zhixing was not surprised even if he received full votes.
"Once again achieved a decisive victory, oh Ye Ge is awesome!"
"This program is far inferior to "I Am the King of Singer". I feel like Brother Ye will be number one just by playing casually!"
"Keep up the good work and aim for the championship!"
The audience in the live broadcast room used barrages to congratulate Fengqi Wutong for winning the championship again.
"I announce that the winner of the second island country chapter of "Singing the World" is Fengqi Wutong. Let us give you a warm applause!"
【Ding! 】
[The system task has been completed. Congratulations to the host for getting the song "First Dream" and a song selection card! 】
The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.
"First Dream" is sung by singer Weiqi Fan and is the most well-known work in her music career.
The original version was created by Aunt Miyuki Nakajima, called "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon". She is a national treasure-level singer in the island country, equivalent to the status of teacher Li Guyi who sang "Unforgettable Tonight" on Earth.
Teresa Teng's "Walking on the Road of Life", Ren Xianqi's "End of the World", Faye Wong's "The World" and "The Easily Injured Woman", Rene Liu's "So You're Here Too"...many singers have covered her songs.
Netizens even said that she supported half of the music scene in Hong Kong City by herself. Back then, Wong Ka Kui couldn't help complaining that there was no music scene in Hong Kong City, only the entertainment industry.
The song is quite inspirational.
After retrieving his memory, Lin Zhixing blinked and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
After the system is upgraded, the songs obtained are all versions, which means there is the original version of "Ride on the Back of the Silver Dragon".
Since this is the case, why not engage in a wave of reverse sales?
If you sell their songs to them, wouldn't it be great to gain both fame and fortune?
…
"good!"
The host handed the microphone to Lin Zhixing and said with a smile: "Now please let the champion tonight give his speech."
"Thank you to the audience for their support, thank you..."
After a series of thanks, Lin Zhixing looked at the audience who were recording on their mobile phones and said in Japanese: "If you haven't heard enough, it doesn't matter. We may have a concert here in the future! You are welcome to come again then!"
"good!"
"Daddy!"
The audience in the island country does not discriminate against singers with dreams, and they applauded and cheered for Lin Zhixing and Song Ge.
The other singers didn't understand Japanese and didn't know what Lin Zhixing was talking about. Wang Feng, who knew Japanese, heard clearly with disdain on his face.
"Having a concert here? Go to sleep, you can have everything in your dreams!"
After Lin Zhixing finished speaking, the host took the microphone, waved to the camera and said: "Viewers, let's see you next time!"
With a "goodbye", the second live broadcast recording of "Singing the World" officially ended.
…
…
Backstage lounge.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"
Director Hao Xu smiled brightly, pointed to the data on his mobile phone, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Today's live broadcast data is very good, 1.5 times that of the previous period. Our program is becoming more and more popular, all thanks to everyone." s hard work."
"good!"
Everyone applauded and congratulated, "We will be better in the next issue, don't worry!"
Wang Feng, who looked worried, walked over to Hao Xu after taking off his makeup and asked curiously: "Director Hao, which country should we go to for the next recording?"
"Um……"
Director Hao Xu pursed his lips and said uncertainly: "It's not completely determined yet. It's most likely to be the United States. Once it's confirmed, it will be announced on Weibo."
English song?
When Wang Feng heard this answer, his impetuous heart gradually calmed down a little. He is better at English songs than Japanese songs. Many of his songs also have English added. He may make a comeback in the next issue.
"Free America?"
Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen looked at each other and pursed their lips, "The singers there are quite powerful..."
…
…
The flight is tomorrow night.
The singers also need to stay one more night on the island.
On the bus back to the hotel, Lin Zhixing carefully discussed with Dong Chen the idea of opening up the island country's music market after acquiring the song "Initial Dream".
"Okay, Brother Lin!"
Dong Chen nodded in agreement: "After listening to your song "Until the End of the World" and tonight's song "Gradually Attracted to You," I think you have the ability to open up the island country's music market. You can definitely give it a try."
He smiled and said hopefully: "If it works well, our Good Luck Studio may be able to set up an overseas department in the future! Youdao is so brave to be a father!"
"But……"
Lin Zhixing rubbed his chin and thought: "How should I cooperate with the island country's music company? I don't know anyone here. Can I help Sister Hui?"
"Being not!"
Dong Chen suddenly said: "The night I came here, there was a talent scout who claimed to be from Tokyo Yan Company, the leader of the three major record companies in the island country, who wanted to promote you as a singer. You can contact him first. Did you throw away the business card?"
Lin Zhixing's eyes lit up and he reached into his pocket. The business card was completely preserved because there was no trash can on the street.
…
After returning to the hotel.
Lin Zhixing followed the business card and dialed the number of the talent scout that night, and the call was quickly connected.
"Hello, are you Mr. Kameda Ichiro?"
"It's me, who are you?"
"I am a Chinese singer who sang at Tokyo Music Plaza last night. I am calling because I want to discuss music cooperation with your company."
The phone call lasted for nearly ten minutes, and we finally agreed to meet at Yan Records in Tokyo at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
…
…
It's ten o'clock in the morning.
Tokyo Flame Records.
As the leader of the three major record companies in the island country, Tokyo Yan Company is located in an office building in the best area of Tokyo.
Accompanied by Dong Chen, Lin Zhixing arrived at the appointed place fifteen minutes early. Looking at the cute girls from the island country on the street, the two of them played a naughty game of rating the beauties, and the waiting time did not feel boring at all.
"Hello, Mr. Kameda Ichiro!"
"Hello Mr. Lin Zhixing, please come in quickly!"
The scout with Mediterranean hair showed up on time, and it wasn't until he was brought into Tokyo Yan Company that Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen believed his identity.
"I don't care about the cooperation. I will take you to meet the boss!"
"Thank you so much!"
Kameda Ichiro patted Lin Zhixing's arm and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence. The person you want to meet is also a Chinese."
"okay!"
Lin Zhixing's mood did not fluctuate after hearing this. It would be easier to communicate, and Dong Chen could also communicate. When going abroad, some people only pick out their own people to trick them, and it is better to deal with foreigners.
After going around in circles, the three of them arrived at a spacious office.
The office is decorated in a unique Japanese comic style, with a wall filled with comic books and a musical instrument corner with drums, guitars and pianos.
"Boss, we're here!"
"Hello, I am……"
The Chinese boss in a bright blue suit sitting at his desk put down the comic book in his hand and looked up at Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen. Their eyes met and he was stunned.
Also in a daze was Dong Chen.
"Guo Qian, is that you?"
"Dong Chen!"
After a while, Dong Chen excitedly stepped forward and hugged the Chinese boss.
Lin Zhixing and Kameda Ichiro looked at each other, both of them were confused.
"Brother Lin!"
Dong Chen pulled Lin Zhixing over and introduced him: "This is my elementary school classmate Guo Qian, and this is my good brother Lin Zhixing."
"Hello!"
After Lin Zhixing shook hands with the young boss, he thought to himself that the circle of rich people and rich people was very impressive, and he could meet them even when he went abroad.
Dong Chen pointed to the chair at hand and said: "Brother Lin, please sit down first. We are not in a hurry to talk. Let us talk about old times first. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. There were 260 people in a class back then, and we had the best relationship. "
"okay."
Lin Zhixing nodded, and after taking two steps, he turned back and raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many people did you just say in a class?"
"260."
"Taliban?"
Dong Chen smiled and waved his hand, "What the Taliban, we just work together."
"oh!"
…
"Qian!"
Dong Chen patted Guo Qian on the shoulder and asked with a wicked smile: "You went abroad and prospered! Are you married? Didn't you marry a wife from an island country?"
Guo Qian smiled and shook his head, picked up the photo album frame on his desk and handed it to Dong Chen, "Who do you think this is?"
Dong Chen took the photo album, glanced at it, and exclaimed: "Malia? Wedding dress? Are you married? What a boy, we both had a crush on her back then!"
Guo Qian smiled and nodded.
Dong Chen stared at the photo intently and asked, "Malia is here too, right? What is she doing now?"
Guo Qian showed a trace of pride on his lips and said: "She has entered the film and television industry of the island country and is doing very well. Now she is not called Maria anymore. She has adopted a stage name, Maria Ozawa."
Then he opened the drawer, took out two CDs, and handed them to Dong Chen, "Here, these are two movies starring your sister-in-law. How about you go back and take a look!"
"good!"
After chatting for a while, Dong Chen revealed the purpose of his trip.
"Um……"
Guo Qian looked at Lin Zhixing who was reading the comic book, somewhat disbelieving in his ability, "Although our relationship is good, it is related to the interests of the company. You talk about him so much, I want to see his strength in person."
"no problem."
Dong Chen called Lin Zhixing, "Brother Lin, show him two songs."
Guo Qian pointed to the corner of the instrument and said, "Look, didn't you just say that he is a great arranger? Can I come up with a question and he improvises a short piece?"
"Let me give it a try..."
Lin Zhixing came to the musical instrument corner and took off his electric guitar. He had an absolute sense of tone and his ability to improvise was acceptable. He didn't need a system to select songs.
"Watch a video, click on the video and you will add a video to me."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he held the notebook over and played a video of a beautiful girl's photo.
Seeing this, Dong Chen was a little dissatisfied with this old classmate. With this video, he was somewhat underestimating him.
Then he looked at Lin Zhixing, who didn't mind at all, and guessed... is he going to use "Li Chun Yuan" as the soundtrack?
"Hold on!"
After watching the video, Lin Zhixing already had the answer in his mind. He had already won a "Tokyo Fever" song, and it was no problem to pair it with a beautiful girl photo video.
ten minutes later……
Lin Zhixing strummed the strings of the electric guitar.
It was very dynamic. The continuous, fast, super fierce, sizzling electric guitar sound at the beginning made Guo Qian's eyes light up.
The tempo of this piece is 150, which matches the human heartbeat when excited. From tense and exciting, to light and bright, then back to tense and exciting, all kinds of fast arpeggios are excessive, which can easily push the emotion to a climax.
Many composers like to use this style of music, such as the BGM of "Initial D".
Tuhai is also written in this way. Although it is vulgar, it is full of dynamics. A master can remove the earthy smell and leave a sense of movement.
Guo Qian was attracted by this piece of music, and his eyes immediately changed when he looked at Lin Zhixing.
Lin Zhixing was very emotional while playing this piece of music.
That year, the ringtone of my mobile phone was the opening theme of Tokyo Hot. Every time I received a call, in the vast sea of people, I only had a look with every friend I had never met before, without too many words...
Those wet and sticky years are really worth remembering.
