Chapter 214 Tokyo Fever soundtrack shocked the Japanese people

"I forgot to say one just now!"

Dong Chen looked at Lin Zhixing, who was full of astonishment, and added: "The movie "Sex and Zen: I Want You" used your song "Lichunyuan" as the brothel soundtrack. That movie was also released during the National Day, but it was not released in Hong Kong and the mainland."

After that, he counted on his fingers, "There are six movies in total. Brother Lin, you are going to be very popular during the National Day holiday!"

"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!"

"Xie Ling-ge!"

Before Dong Chen could finish chatting for a few words, he was called by the staff to prepare to go on stage.

After all, it was a reality show rather than a singing variety show, and the last place winner would not be eliminated, so he and Ji Yu were in a playful mood and did not feel too nervous. Especially since they would go on stage after Song Ge, it would definitely be a cold audience, so they were more relaxed.

Lin Zhixing turned his head and saw a group of singers staring at him with admiration, probably because they were shocked by the song "Gradually Attracted to You" they had just sung.

"Why!"

Mao Nan sighed and said to Deng Xiaoyu beside him: "Xiaoyu, the number of votes tonight may still be overwhelming. I may still be the last one..."

Deng Xiaoyu covered his face and said, "I worked hard to communicate with the arranger teacher for a whole day, but it seems like it was a waste of time."

Although they haven't gone on stage yet, judging by the atmosphere in the theater just now, the singers all know in their hearts that they will most likely still be the last in the group.

Wang Feng, who was sitting in the corner backstage, had a complicated expression at the moment.

I never expected that after a week of careful preparation, the song would still fail...

Could it be that as a veteran in the music industry who hasn't released any records in two years, I'm now not as good as this newcomer who just debuted?

Which country will they go to next? Can they regain the lost face? ...

…

On the gorgeous stage.

Just as the singers expected, after "Feng Qi Wu Tong", everyone encountered different degrees of cold audience. After listening to "Gradually Attracted by You", the audience all fell asleep.

After all the singers finished their performances, the program team collected votes from 500 audience members on site.

Five minutes later, the staff handed the collected data to the host, and the singers returned to the stage and lined up in a row.

"Don't make the vote count too big!"

Except for Feng Qi Wu Tong, all the singers thought to themselves that the single-digit number of votes in the last period was really embarrassing.

The host glanced at the cue card and announced, "We have collected a total of 500 tickets, 465 for Feng Qi Wu Tong, 20 for Wang Feng, 5 for Fei Yue Qi Ji, 5 for Deng Xiao Yu, 3 for Zhang Hui Chen, and 2 for Mao Nan."

Harsh! So harsh!

Once again, the vote gap was huge. When the other singers heard the number, they all lowered their heads in shame.

When Wang Feng saw the camera giving him a close-up, he immediately wanted to turn around and go back to the backstage.

Lin Zhixing was expected, and it would not be surprising even if he received full votes.

"Another overwhelming victory, oh yeah brother is awesome!"

"This show is so much worse than "I Am the King of Singers". It feels like Oh Ye Ge just casually got first place!"

"Keep going, aim for the championship!"

The audience in the live broadcast room congratulated Feng Qi Wu Tong for winning the championship again with barrages of comments.

"I declare that the champion of the second island country chapter of "Singing Around the World" is Feng Qi Wu Tong. Let's give her a warm round of applause!"

【bite!】

[The system task has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "The First Dream" and a song selection card! ]

The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.

"The First Dream" is sung by singer Christine 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 a Silver Dragon". She is a national treasure singer of 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", Richie Jen's "The End of the World", Faye Wong's "Human World" and "A Woman Easily Hurt", Rene Liu's "So You Are Here Too"... Too many singers have covered her songs.

Some netizens even said that she single-handedly supported half of the music scene in Hong Kong. Back then, even Wong Ka Kui couldn't help but complain that there was no music scene in Hong Kong, only the entertainment industry.

The song is quite inspirational.

After his memory was restored, Lin Zhixing blinked and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

After the system upgrade, all versions of the songs obtained are available, which means there is the original version of "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon".

In this case, why not do some reverse selling?

Wouldn't it be great if I could take their songs and sell them to them, gaining both fame and fortune?

…

"good!"

The host handed the microphone to Lin Zhixing and said with a smile: "Now let's invite tonight's champion to give a speech."

"Thank you for your support, friends. Thank you..."

After a series of thanks, Lin Zhixing looked at the audience who were recording the concert with their mobile phones and said in Japanese: "If you haven't heard enough, it's okay. We may hold a concert here in the future! Then everyone is welcome to come and listen again!"

"good!"

"Damn it!"

The audience in the island country did 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 had no idea what Lin Zhixing was saying. Wang Feng, who knew Japanese, heard it clearly and had a look of disdain on his face.

"Holding a concert here? Just go to sleep, you can dream about anything!"

After Lin Zhixing finished speaking, the host took the microphone and waved to the camera, saying, "Dear audience, see you next time!"

With a "goodbye", the second live recording of "Singing Around the World" officially ended.

…

…

Backstage lounge.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Director Hao Xu smiled brightly, pointed to the data on his phone, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Today's live broadcast data is very good, 1.5 times that of the previous episode. Our program is becoming more and more popular, all thanks to everyone's efforts."

"good!"

Everyone applauded and congratulated, "We will do better next time, don't worry!"

Wang Feng, who looked worried, took off his makeup and walked to Hao Xu, and asked curiously: "Director Hao, which country are we going to record next time?"

"Um……"

Director Hao Xu pursed his lips and said uncertainly: "It has not been completely confirmed yet, but it is most likely the United States. Once it is confirmed, it will be announced on the program Weibo."

English songs? After hearing this answer, Wang Feng's restless heart gradually calmed down. He is better at English songs than Japanese songs, and many of his songs have English added. Maybe he will make a comeback in the next episode.

"Free America?"

Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen looked at each other and pursed their lips, "The singers there are quite good..."

…

…

The flight is tomorrow night.

The singers will need to stay one more night on the island.

On the bus back to the hotel, Lin Zhixing discussed with Dong Chen in detail the idea of ​​opening up the island country's music market after acquiring the song "The First Dream".

"Sure, Brother Lin!"

Dong Chen nodded in agreement and said, "After listening to your song 'Until the End of the World' and tonight's song 'Gradually Attracted by You', I think you have the ability to open up the island country's music market. You can definitely give it a try as you said."

He smiled and said with anticipation: "If it works well, our Good Luck Studio may be able to set up an overseas department in the future! As the saying goes, the bravest ones are the fathers!"

"But……"

Lin Zhixing stroked his chin and thought, "How do you think I should cooperate with the music company in the island country? I don't know anyone here. Should I ask Sister Hui for help?"

“Not for now!”

Dong Chen suddenly spoke up, "The night you came, wasn't there a scout who claimed to be from Tokyo Yan, 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 your business card?"

Lin Zhixing's eyes lit up and he reached out to touch his pocket. The business card was actually kept intact because there was no trash can on the street.

…

After returning to the hotel.

Lin Zhixing dialed the number of the scout that night according to the business card, and the call was connected quickly.

"Hello, are you Mr. Kameda Ichiro?"

"It's me. Who are you?"

"I'm the Chinese singer who sang at Tokyo Music Square last night. I'm calling to discuss music cooperation with your company."

The phone call lasted nearly ten minutes, and finally we agreed to meet at Tokyo Yan Records at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

…

…

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Tokyo Yan 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 location in Tokyo.

Accompanied by Dong Chen, Lin Zhixing arrived at the agreed location fifteen minutes early. Looking at the cute Japanese girls on the street, the two of them played a fun game of beauty scoring and did not feel bored at all while waiting.

"Hello, Mr. Kameda Ichiro!"

"Hello Mr. Lin Zhixing, please come in!"

The middle-aged scout with a Mediterranean hairstyle showed up on time, and only when he was brought into Tokyo Yan Company did Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen believe his identity.

"I don't have the final say on cooperation. I'll take you to see the boss!"

"Thank you so much!"

Kameda Ichiro patted Lin Zhixing's arm and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, the person you are going to meet is also Chinese."

"Oh, OK!"

Lin Zhixing didn't seem to be emotional after hearing this. Communication is now easier, and Dong Chen can also communicate. When going abroad, some people only try to cheat their own people. It's better to deal with foreigners.

After walking around in circles, the three of them arrived at a spacious office.

The office is decorated in a unique Japanese comic style. There is a wall full of comic books and a musical instrument corner with drums, guitars and pianos.

"Boss, the people are here!"

"Hello, I am..."

The Chinese boss, who was sitting at his desk and wearing a bright blue suit, put down the comic book in his hand, looked up at Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen, and when their eyes met, he was stunned.

Dong Chen was also stunned.

"Guo Qian, is that you?"

"Dong Chen!"

After a moment, Dong Chen excitedly stepped forward and hugged the Chinese boss.

Lin Zhixing and Kameda Ichiro looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

“Brother Lin!”

Dong Chen pulled Lin Zhixing over and introduced them, "This is my elementary school classmate Guo Qian, and this is my good brother Lin Zhixing."

"Hello, hello!"

After Lin Zhixing shook hands with the young boss, he thought to himself that these rich people and their circle of rich people were really amazing, and he could run into them even when he went abroad.

Dong Chen pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Brother Lin, please sit down first. There is no rush to talk about things. Let us catch up first. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Back then, there were 260 people in the same class, and we were the best friends."

"Yeah, okay."

Lin Zhixing nodded, took two steps, turned around and raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many people did you say there are in a class?"

"260."

"The Taliban?"

Dong Chen smiled and waved his hand, "What Taliban? We are just a combined class."

"oh!"

…

"Humility!"

Dong Chen patted Guo Qian on the shoulder and asked with a sly smile, "You've gone abroad and are doing very well! Are you married? Didn't you marry a Japanese wife?"

Guo Qian smiled and shook his head, picked up the album frame on the desk and handed it to Dong Chen, "Who do you think this is?"

Dong Chen took the photo album, glanced at it, and exclaimed: "Maria? Wedding dress? You are married? Good boy, we both had a crush on her back then!"

Guo Qian smiled and nodded.

Dong Chen stared at the photo intently and asked absentmindedly: "Maria is here too, right? What job does she do now?"

Guo Qian showed a hint of pride and said, "She has entered the Japanese film and television industry and is doing very well. She is no longer called Maria, but has 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 watch them later!"

"good!"

After chatting for a while, Dong Chen stated the purpose of this trip.

"Um……"

Guo Qian looked at Lin Zhixing who was reading a comic book, somewhat disbelieving in his ability. "Although we have a good relationship, this concerns the interests of the company. You speak so highly of him, I want to see his strength in person."

"no problem."

Dong Chen called Lin Zhixing over, "Brother Lin, sing two songs for him."

Guo Qian pointed to the instrument corner and said, "You said he's a great composer. Can I come up with a question and he can improvise a short piece?"

"Let me give it a try..."

Lin Zhixing came to the instrument corner and took off his electric guitar. With his absolute sense of pitch, he was able to improvise and there was no problem in selecting songs without using the system.

"Watch a video and give me a paragraph according to the video."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he took the notebook and casually played a video of a beautiful woman’s photo.

Dong Chen was a little dissatisfied with his old classmate when he saw this. He thought that this video was a bit insulting.

Then he looked at Lin Zhixing, who didn't mind at all, and guessed... were they going to use the music from "Lichunyuan"?

"Hold on!"

After watching the video, Lin Zhixing already had the answer in his mind. He once obtained a song called "Tokyo Fever", so it would be no problem to match it with a beautiful photo video.

Ten minutes later...

Lin Zhixing rubbed the strings of the electric guitar.

It was very dynamic. The continuous, fast and powerful sound of the electric guitar 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 nervous and exciting to brisk and bright, and then back to nervous and exciting, various fast arpeggios easily push the emotions 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 rustic, it is full of dynamics. A master can remove the rustic taste and leave the dynamics.

Guo Qian was attracted by the song, and his gaze towards Lin Zhixing changed immediately.

While playing this piece of music, Lin Zhixing felt very emotional.

That year, my cell phone ringtone was the theme song of Tokyo Fever. Every time a call came in, in the vast sea of ​​people, I would exchange glances with every friend I had never met before, without the need for too many words...

Those exciting years, as slippery as water, are really worth remembering.
