Chapter 224 You can be as strong as you want, I am the rap king!
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Peking International Airport, inside the departure hall.
The singers who recorded "Singing World" are about to embark on a trip to New York, the United States. The flight will take about 14 hours.
"Who knows what time it is in New York when we fly to New York? Will it be night or day?"
Mao Nan asked curiously. This was his first time to the United States, and he was full of freshness and curiosity about this journey.
"Probably around 9 a.m. local time in New York, it won't be too far off!"
Wang Feng answered his question. He often travels abroad and has some experience with jet lag and the like.
"Brother Feng, have you been there?"
"I've been there five times now."
Mao Nan asked curiously: "I haven't been there yet. Watching the short video Free Militia is very confusing, is that right?"
Wang Feng nodded and said: "It is true in some places, but short videos sometimes have a tendency to make you feel superior. Take Asan Kingdom for example, it is actually not as bad as in the short videos."
Zhang Huichen echoed: "Yes, in New York, as long as we don't go out at night, it's basically fine."
The singers who had never been to the United States were very excited and asked some questions about food and fun. Wang Feng and Zhang Huichen answered them one by one.
Lin Zhixing did not participate in the topic, and was thinking about a particularly important issue in his mind at the moment.
Will American fans come to pick him up at the airport and put up huge banners?
——[Welcome Brother Ye to make an appointment! 】
"Xiao Lin, why are you laughing secretly?"
Director Hao Xu came over with his luggage on his back, looked at Lin Zhixing who was sitting on the chair holding his chin in a silly mood, and asked jokingly.
"Director Hao!"
"Director Hao, good morning!"
With his words, all the singers' eyes were focused on Lin Zhixing.
Lin Zhixing came back to his senses, smiled and waved his hand, "No, I was just thinking wildly and thought of something interesting."
"good morning everyone!"
Seeing that there was an empty seat next to Lin Zhixing, Hao Xu sat directly next to him and asked with a smile: "Have you thought of anything interesting? Are you thinking about winning the first place again in this issue of the US trip?"
He is very popular in the music industry, a creative genius, and synonymous with popularity. He is very willing to chat with Lin Zhixing, who combines these terms.
As a variety show director, if the relationship goes well, I think I can invite him in the future.
"..."
This is digging into the ancestral graves to get to the bottom of things!
Lin Zhixing said casually: "No, I'm a foodie. What I just thought about was going there to eat some authentic KFC and McDonald's."
Hao Xu smiled and nodded, "That may disappoint you. The taste may be more suitable for you in China."
“Number one in the United States!”
The other singers did not take Hao Xu's words seriously. The word "number one" stung Wang Feng deeply, and the smile disappeared from his face in an instant.
As the most experienced singer on this show, he has repeatedly lost to Lin Zhixing. Every time Weibo netizens mention this show and praise him, they always belittle themselves as worthless, which makes Wang Feng very unhappy.
In this issue, he worked hard to prepare songs for another week, vowing to regain his face.
"Xiao Lin, I guess you plan to sing English songs this time, right?"
Wang Feng adjusted his glasses, looked at Lin Zhixing, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, I have that idea."
Lin Zhixing answered frankly that there was nothing to hide.
He had previously received the song "My Heart Will Go On", and this time he planned to let Song Ge sing the English song to make the song more complete.
In this issue, not only Lin Zhixing, but every singer plans to sing English songs. If you are not good at Japanese and Korean, there is nothing you can do about it. Every singer is OK in English.
After all, the audience is all foreigners, and the singers are all planning to take advantage of the language bonus and get high scores.
"Write it yourself again!"
Wang Feng smiled and joked: "I think Americans generally like to listen to rap songs. Xiaolin, this is what you are good at! Did I remember that you also won a rap song?"
"Yep."
Lin Zhixing nodded lightly and looked at each other, feeling that he had not held it in well.
Wang Feng gave a thumbs up, smiled and said to the singers around him: "As the king of rap in China, I have to give these foreigners some shock this time."
"..."
Lin Zhixing looked a little ugly after hearing this.
How bad you are!
The purpose of saying this is to reduce the value of my awards and my rap skills? Are you happy now that the King of Rap has fallen into disrepair?
【Ding! 】
[As strong as you are, I am the king of rap! 】
[The easy difficulty of the system task is turned on. Use an English rap song to slap Wang Feng in the face. Completion will reward you with a random song from Earth. 】
The system prompt sounded suddenly.
Lin Zhixing pursed his lips and swallowed his breath temporarily.
Using an English rap song to slap Wang Feng in the face, "My Heart Will Go On" is not a rap song. It seems that a "song selection card" is needed to complete the task.
It was so irritating just now. Even if there were no system tasks, Lin Zhixing planned to use his only remaining song selection card to prove himself.
【Ding! 】
[The song selection card has been used successfully. Congratulations to the host for getting the song "See You Again"! 】
With three minutes to regain his memory, Lin Zhixing thought about it and chose a song that he liked.
"See You Again" was composed by Brother Duanmei and co-sung with black singer Ma Shen. It is the theme song of the popular IP "Fast and Furious" on earth.
In addition, the original intention of the creation was to commemorate the death of Paul, and it can be said that it earned a lot of attention with the release of the movie that year.
Not only did it top the music charts in more than 20 countries in one fell swoop, it also topped the Billboard charts in the United States for 12 weeks, received three Grammy nominations, and was once the most played song in the history of YouTube.
The total number of YouTube music plays ranks third, followed by "Shape of you" in second place and "Despacito" in first place.
It’s hard to imagine that it took Brother Duanmei only ten minutes to compose this globally popular song.
The reason for choosing this song is simple.
First of all, there are rap elements, and there are no elements of pornography, gambling, drugs and violence.
Secondly, Swift and Ma Shen have sung this song together, so it is suitable for herself and Song Ge to sing it together.
What’s more, this song in the photo is awesome. Good songs don’t have a film and television background to be popular. I haven’t watched the original “Fast and Furious”, but I still like this song very much.
"You wait for me and feel the fear that surrounds you!"
Lin Zhixing looked at the grinning Wang Feng, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself.
"There's something else I want to tell everyone!"
Director Hao Xu clapped his hands, gathered everyone's gazes, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "Due to the limited funds of the program team, there is no time for everyone to get rid of the jet lag, so I advise everyone to go to bed as soon as they get on the plane!"
The singers were speechless after hearing this.
It's eight o'clock in the morning. I've just finished a night's sleep and I'm not sleepy at all. Who can sleep on this plane?
"One more thing."
Hao Xu didn't wait for the singers to complain, and added: "I advise everyone to have a full meal before getting off the plane..."
Deng Xiaoyu reacted quickly, raised his hand and interrupted: "Director Hao, is it possible that the funds are limited and we don't have enough food to eat?"
"No way!"
Hao Xu smiled and said: "The program team does not provide food after getting off the plane, and we do not allow everyone to pay for it out of their own pockets. It is not because of the funding, but because of the recording."
"Our first recording after getting off the plane depends on everyone's ability to pay for meals. If you make five dollars, you will eat for five dollars. If you make ten dollars, you will eat for ten dollars!"
"Wow! This is too difficult!"
The singers complained that they were not allowed time to catch up on the jet lag, and they worked as soon as they got off the plane and were not provided with food. The program crew was simply being disrespectful!
"It's time to board the plane, everyone, get in line!"
After saying that, Hao Xu carried his bag and trotted away.
…
"Brother Lin, it's up to you to eat when you get off the plane!"
Dong Chen took Lin Zhixing's arm and said coquettishly: "Ji Yu and I are not very good at English. According to what the director said, we will most likely be hungry for nine meals in three days."
Nine meals in three days?
Lin Zhixing suddenly remembered De Ye, a wilderness expert who focused on starving.
"No problem, I'll take you to eat and drink!"
…
After getting on the plane, the singers felt very uncomfortable. There were no sleepers and their freedom of movement was restricted. The 14-hour flight was really painful.
Sleeping like the director said?
Lin Zhixing tried hard N times, but couldn't fall asleep at all. Finally, he fell asleep three hours before landing.
Outside New York Airport.
The singers were full of complaints after getting off the plane.
"I can't sleep at all! I won't be able to sleep until I get off the plane!"
"Don't mention it. I finally fell asleep, opened my eyes and landed. I didn't even eat the plane meal. This was so miserable."
Gugugu~~
Listening to the singers chatting, Lin Zhixing touched his growling stomach. He, Song Ge, and Dong Chen Jiyu also fell asleep in the end without eating.
Is the starvation passive triggered at the beginning?
Wang Feng was particularly happy at this moment because he stayed up late last night and fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane. He slept for nearly twelve hours, woke up and had a hearty meal. He was in excellent condition at the moment.
Hao Xu clapped his hands and introduced: "Everyone, cheer up. A car will pick you up soon. We will take you to a square, where you can eat according to your ability."
Selling songs? Familiar with the old routine...
The singers complained in their hearts that Lin Zhixing would rather dance than repeat these old routines.
After leaving the airport, a luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in front of everyone.
All the singers were very surprised, "Director Hao, do you call this insufficient funds?"
The driver got out and opened the door.
Hao Xu patted Lin Zhixing on the shoulder and said, "Get in the car. The famous American director Jordan Cameron has sponsored our program this time. He appreciates Xiao Lin's creative talent very much. This is a privilege reserved for him."
The singers were extremely envious, and they all guessed that the song might be composed by Lin Zhixing, a great director who wanted to collaborate on the film soundtrack.
"Xiao Lin, after the show, you meet with Director Cameron! Get in the car quickly!"
"I have to bring my partner or I won't sit!"
Lin Zhixing pulled Song Ge over and expressed his attitude.
"Ok, Ok."
Hao Xu nodded, it would be no problem for a group to sit together.
"Brother Lin, the two of us! Take us both with you!"
Dong Chen and Ji Yu raised their arms and crowded forward.
"Okay, no more people are allowed!"
Seeing Lin Zhixing's interest, Hao Xu reluctantly nodded. After all, he took someone's sponsorship money and couldn't make his future partners unhappy.
In this way, four people and a photographer got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom and left the airport.
"Don't worry, everyone, our car is coming soon!"
As soon as Hao Xu finished consoling him, the show crew's car arrived. It was a dilapidated Ford van.
The space inside the car was so tight that the singers felt even more depressed.
…
It's 10 a.m. U.S. time.
New York back garden, Central Park.
"If you need anything, call me!"
"no problem, thank you!"
Lin Zhixing and his group got out of the car, and the Rolls-Royce driver handed Lin Zhixing a business card.
Dong Chen glanced at the obtrusive photographer and shrugged helplessly, otherwise he would have really wanted to ask for a big meal, but he was so hungry right now.
"Brother Lin, let's buy a Rolls-Royce later?"
"I think it will work!"
The group of people walked into Zhongyang Park while chatting.
Looking around, you can see a large area of grass and trees, with many people, almost all of them spreading a piece of cloth on the grass and picnicking and camping here.
"Has the program team prepared musical instruments for us?"
Taking advantage of the bonus of arriving first, Dong Chen wanted to take action and took the photographer curiously.
The photographer shook his head, "No."
Dong Chen raised his eyebrows in disbelief, "Singing a cappella?"
Hearing that there was no equipment, Lin Zhixing sat down on the grass. The show team is really amazing. Without equipment, it would be impossible to make money by dancing on your own.
"Then I'll lie down and move less to avoid hunger!"
Dong Chen went even further. He lay down on the spot and wrote a big word.
"Zi Ge, let's go for a walk first and wait for the big troops to arrive!"
Ji Yu took Song Ge's hand and they went to the park.
…
ten minutes later.
Other singers also came to the park and were devastated when they learned they had no equipment.
"That's it. Do you want to be hungry all day?"
"Complaining is useless, take action!"
The energetic Wang Feng said something about chicken soup in front of the camera, then walked to the most crowded place alone and started singing popular English songs a cappella to earn money.
Other singers had no choice but to follow suit.
Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen were still lying on the grass, triggering the passive state of starvation.
Forty minutes later...
"Brother Feng, I earned 2 US dollars, what can I eat with 2 US dollars?"
"Brother Feng, I made five dollars! Can I buy a hamburger?"
Tired of singing continuously, the singers took a rest holding the fruits of their victory. Mao Nan and Deng Xiaoyu were so hungry that their fronts pressed against their backs. Wang Feng was curious and wanted to buy food immediately.
Wang Feng flicked a small wad of money in his hand with his fingertips and proudly showed off: "How do you know I made $25?"
Mao Nan: "..."
Deng Xiaoyu: "..."
"Xiao Lin, how much money have you made?"
Wang Feng knew that Lin Zhixing had been lying on the grass, showing off his knowledge and asking questions.
This will make you feel good, and you will feel like you have finally regained your face.
"Not a penny earned!"
"Go try it. If you really can't make any money, I'll buy you some bread!"
Lin Zhixing looked at his proud look and turned over in disdain.
After Wang Feng and others left, Dong Chen sighed and said: "I'm starving, and suddenly I want to eat. It would be great if there is someone here to do some free work. I can make a living by singing "Xian'er"!"
"Ah? Are you providing food for free here?"
This touched upon Lin Zhixing's intellectual blind spot. In the impression of the movie, there seemed to be no food.
"Probably no, it seems that marriage means you have food to eat!"
Dong Chen suddenly sat up from the grass, "Brother Lin, do you have a more festive song? Let's go to the wedding to have dinner! There will be wine and meat!"
Your special girl is really a genius!
Lin Zhixing also sat up and looked at the business card handed to him by the Rolls-Royce driver in his hand, feeling that it was feasible.
Then the system mall was opened.
"Song Selection Card", "Treble Capsule", "Breakthrough Limit Capsule", "The Bad Luck Capsule" used in "Lady Luxury" has become a "Bad Luck Sticker".
The redemption price for the four props currently unlocked is 10 points. Although there are currently not enough points, you can redeem them once for free after the system is upgraded.
【Ding! 】
[The song selection card has been used successfully. Congratulations to the host for getting the song "Sugar"! 】
With three minutes to regain his memory, Lin Zhixing chose a song without hesitation.
The magic red band Maroon5, these brothers were once a popular "wedding band" all over the world. The song "Sugar" has more than 3.2 billion views on YouTube, ranking seventh.
They never follow the rules of the party every time they eat. If they "pee a coconut peel, but you f*ck give me a pear", they can eat and drink at other people's weddings.
The corners of Lin Zhixing's mouth rose to the base of his ears.
Who the hell eats bread? I drink wine and eat meat!
