Chapter 224: No matter how strong you are, I am the rap king!

Chapter 224: No matter how strong you are, I am the rap king!

8 o'clock in the morning.

Peking International Airport, inside the waiting hall.

The singers who are recording "Singing Around the World" are about to embark on a journey to New York, the United States. The flight will take about 14 hours.

"Does anyone know what time we will arrive in New York? Will it be dark or daytime?"

Mao Nan asked curiously. This was his first time to the United States and he was full of novelty and curiosity about this trip.

"It should be around 9am local time in New York. It shouldn't be too far off!"

Wang Feng answered his question. He often travels abroad and has some experience with jet lag.

"Brother Feng, have you been there?"

“I’ve been there five times.”

Mao Nan asked curiously, "I haven't been there yet. I saw a short video saying that the free America is very chaotic. Is that right?"

Wang Feng nodded and said, "It is true in some places, but short videos sometimes have the tendency to make you feel superior. For example, India is not as bad as it is in the short videos."

Zhang Huichen agreed: "Yes, in New York, as long as we don't go out at night, there will be basically no problem."

The singers who had never been to the United States were very interested in listening to the show and asked some questions about food and fun things. Wang Feng and Zhang Huichen answered them one by one.

Lin Zhixing did not participate in the topic. At this moment, he was thinking about a particularly important question in his mind.

Will American fans come to pick me up at the airport and hold up huge banners?

——【Welcome Oh Ye Ge to come for a date! 】

"Xiao Lin, what are you laughing at?"

Director Hao Xu came over with his luggage, looked at Lin Zhixing who was sitting on the chair with his chin in his hand and grinned, and asked jokingly.

"Director Hao!"

"Director Hao, good morning!"

After he said this, 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 daydreaming and thought of something interesting."

"Good morning, everyone!"

Seeing that there was an empty seat next to Lin Zhixing, Hao Xu sat next to him and asked with a smile, "What interesting things have you thought of? Are you thinking about getting first place again in this US trip?"

A rising star in the music industry, a creative genius, a synonym for popularity, he was very willing to have a chat with Lin Zhixing, who embodies all these terms.

As a variety show director, if I have a good relationship with him, I think I can invite him in the future.

“…”

This is digging deep, digging into the ancestral grave! Lin Zhixing said casually: "No, I'm a foodie, and what I just thought about was going there to eat some authentic KFC and McDonald's."

Hao Xu smiled and nodded, "That might disappoint you. Maybe the taste of the food in China is more suitable for you."

"No. 1 in the US!"

The other singers did not take Hao Xu's words seriously. The word "first" deeply hurt Wang Feng, and the smile disappeared from his face in an instant.

As the most experienced singer on this show, he was repeatedly defeated by Lin Zhixing. Whenever Weibo netizens mentioned this show, they would praise him while belittling themselves, which made Wang Feng very unhappy.

In this episode, he worked hard for a week to prepare songs, and he was determined to save his face.

"Xiao Lin, I guess you're planning on singing an English song this time, right?"

Wang Feng adjusted his glasses, looked at Lin Zhixing, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I do have this idea."

Lin Zhixing answered frankly that there was nothing to hide.

Having previously acquired the song "My Heart Will Go On", he planned to let Song Ge sing this English song to make the song more complete.

In this episode, not only Lin Zhixing, but every singer plans to sing English songs. There is nothing they can do if they are not good at Japanese and Korean, but every singer is OK with English.

After all, the audience are all foreigners, and the singers all plan 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! I remember you also won a rap king award?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Lin Zhixing nodded indifferently, and their eyes met. He always felt that he hadn't held his fart well.

Wang Feng gave a thumbs up and said to the singers around him with a smile: "As the rap king of our country, we have to give these foreigners some shock this time."

“…”

Lin Zhixing looked a little unhappy after hearing this.

You are so bad!

The purpose of saying this is to reduce the value of my award and my rap ability? Are you happy that no one cares about the rap king?

【bite!】

[You can be as strong as you want, I am the rap king! ]

[System mission is enabled with simple difficulty. Use an English rap song to slap Wang Feng in the face. Completing the task will reward you with a random song from Earth.]

The system prompt sound suddenly sounded.

Lin Zhixing pursed his lips and swallowed his anger for the time being.

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 infuriating just now. Even if there was no system task, Lin Zhixing planned to use his only remaining song selection card to prove himself.

【bite!】

[The song selection card was used successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "See You Again"! ]

With three minutes to recover his memory, Lin Zhixing considered carefully and chose a song he liked.

"See You Again" was written by Broken Eyebrow Brother and sung together with the 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 Paul's death, and it attracted a lot of attention when the movie was released.

Not only did it win the music charts in more than 20 countries, it also won the US Billboard No. 1 for 12 weeks, received three Grammy nominations, and was once the most played song in YouTube history.

The total amount of YouTube music plays ranked third, with "Shape of You" in second place and "Despacito" in first place.

It's hard to imagine that Broken Eyebrow took only ten minutes to compose this globally popular song.

The reason for choosing this song is simple.

First of all, there are rap elements, but no pornography, gambling, drugs, or violence elements.

Secondly, Taylor Swift and Ma Shen have sung this song together, so it is suitable for herself and Song Ge to sing it together.

Another thing is that I like this song so much. A good song doesn't have to have a film and television background to be popular. I haven't seen any of the Fast and the Furious movies, but I still like this song very much.

"Just wait for me, and feel the fear that is shrouding you!"

Lin Zhixing looked at the grinning Wang Feng, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself.

"There's something else I want to tell you all!"

Director Hao Xu clapped his hands, gathered everyone's attention, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said: "Due to the limited funding of the program team, there is no time for everyone to adjust to the time difference. I advise everyone to sleep as soon as they get on the plane!"

The singers were speechless after hearing this.

It's eight o'clock in the morning now. I just had a night's sleep and I'm not sleepy at all. Who can sleep on a plane?

"One more thing."

Hao Xu didn't wait for the singers to complain and added: "I advise everyone to have a good meal before getting off the plane..."

Deng Xiaoyu reacted quickly and raised his hand to interrupt, "Director Hao, is it possible that the funds are limited and we won't be able to eat?"

"How can that be possible!"

Hao Xu smiled and said, "After we got off the plane, the production crew did not provide food or drinks, nor did they allow people to buy food out of their own pockets. It was not because of the budget, but because of the recording."

"After we get off the plane, our first recording session will depend on everyone's ability to pay for meals. If you earn five dollars, you can eat a five-dollar meal. If you earn ten dollars, you can eat a ten-dollar meal!"

"Wow! This is too difficult!"

The singers complained that they were not given time to adjust to the jet lag, and they had to work right after getting off the plane without any meals. The production team was simply not a human being! "It's time to board the plane, everyone line up!"

After saying that, Hao Xu trotted away with his bag on his back.

…

"Brother Lin, I'm counting on you to eat after we get off the plane!"

Dong Chen took Lin Zhixing's arm and said coquettishly, "Ji Yu and I are not very good at English. If we really follow the director's instructions, we will probably go hungry nine times out of three days."

Going hungry for nine meals in three days? Lin Zhixing suddenly thought of the wilderness expert De Ye, who was mainly about starvation.

"No problem, I'll take you to eat delicious food!"

…

After getting on the plane, the singers felt very uncomfortable. There were no berths and their freedom of movement was restricted. The 14-hour flight was truly a torture.

Sleep like the director asked? Lin Zhixing tried hard many times but couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he fell asleep three hours before landing.

Outside New York Airport.

After getting off the plane, the singers were full of complaints.

"I can't sleep at all! I only feel sleepy when I'm about to get off the plane!"

"Don't even mention it. I fell asleep and opened my eyes when I landed on the ground. I didn't even get to eat the airplane meal. This is terrible."

Coo coo coo

While listening to the singers chatting, Lin Zhixing touched his rumbling stomach. He, Song Ge, Dong Chen and Ji Yu all fell asleep without eating.

Will the passive skill of being hungry be triggered at the beginning?

Wang Feng was particularly happy at this moment. As he had stayed up all night last night, he fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane and slept for nearly twelve hours. After waking up, he had a big meal and was in excellent condition now.

Hao Xu clapped his hands and introduced: "Everyone cheer up, a car will be here soon to pick you up and take you to a square, where you can eat according to your own ability."

Singing for money? Familiar old-fashioned 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 stopped in front of everyone.

The singers were all very surprised, "Director Hao, you call this insufficient funding?"

The driver got out and opened the door.

Hao Xu patted Lin Zhixing on the shoulder and said, "Get in the car. Jordan Cameron, a famous American director, sponsored our show this time. He admires Xiao Lin's creative talent very much. This is a privilege for him."

The singers were extremely envious and guessed that maybe the big director was attracted by the song composed by Lin Zhixing and wanted to collaborate on the film soundtrack.

"Xiao Lin, after the show is over, you will meet with Director Cameron! Get in the car!"

"I have to bring my partner, or I won't sit!"

Lin Zhixing pulled Song Ge over and made his attitude clear.

“Sure, sure.”

Hao Xu nodded and said that it was okay for the group to sit together.

"Brother Lin, the two of us! Take the two of us with you!"

Dong Chen and Ji Yu raised their arms and squeezed in.

"Okay, no more people allowed!"

Seeing that Lin Zhixing was interested, Hao Xu nodded reluctantly. After all, he had taken the sponsorship money and couldn't make their future partners unhappy.

Just like that, the four of them and a photographer got into a Rolls-Royce Phantom and left the airport.

"Don't worry, our car will be here soon!"

Just as Hao Xu finished comforting her, the program crew's car arrived. It was a shabby Ford van.

The space inside the car was extremely crowded, and the singers were in an even more depressed mood.

…

Ten o'clock in the morning US time.

New York's backyard, 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 annoying photographer and shrugged helplessly. Otherwise, he really wanted to ask for a big meal as he was very hungry.

"Brother Lin, shall we buy a Rolls-Royce later?"

"I think it's OK!"

The group walked into Zhongyang Park while talking and chatting.

Looking around, there is a large area of ​​grass and trees, and there are a lot of people, most of whom come here to picnic and camp, spreading a piece of cloth on the grass.

"Did the production team prepare musical instruments for us?"

Taking advantage of the bonus of arriving first, Dong Chen wanted to take action and looked for the photographer curiously.

The photographer shook his head, "No."

Dong Chen raised his eyebrows in disbelief, "A cappella?"

Hearing that there was no equipment, Lin Zhixing sat down on the grass. The production team was really amazing. Without equipment, it was impossible to earn a living by dancing.

"Then I'll lie down, move less, and resist hunger!"

Dong Chen went even further. He just lay down on the spot and made a big "stroke".

"Pigeon, let's go for a walk and wait for the main force 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 when they found out there were no equipment, they were also devastated.

"It's over. Are we going to starve for a day?"

"Complaining is useless, take action!"

The energetic Wang Feng said some inspiring words in front of the camera, then walked to the most crowded place alone and started singing popular English songs to earn money.

The 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 hunger.

Forty minutes later...

"Brother Feng, I earned 2 US dollars. What can I eat with 2 US dollars?"

"Brother Feng, I made $5! Can I buy a burger?"

Tired from singing continuously, the singers took a break while holding their harvest. Mao Nan and Deng Xiaoyu were starving, so Wang Feng, who was curious, wanted to go buy some food right away.

Wang Feng flicked the small stack of money in his hand with his fingertips and boasted proudly, "How do you know I made 25 US dollars?"

Mao Nan: “…”

Deng Xiaoyu: “…”

"Xiao Lin, how much did you earn?"

Wang Feng knew that Lin Zhixing had been lying on the grass, and he asked the question in a show-off manner even though he knew the answer.

I feel very good right now, as if I have finally regained my face.

“Not a cent!”

"Go and try. If you can't make any money, I'll buy you some bread!"

Lin Zhixing looked at his smug look and turned over with disdain.

After Wang Feng and the others left, Dong Chen sighed and said, "I'm starving. I suddenly want to have a feast. It would be great if there are funerals here. I can earn a living by singing a song of "Xian'er"!"

"Ah? Do you provide food for funerals here?"

This touches on Lin Zhixing's blind spot in knowledge. It seems that the movie does not provide food.

"Probably not. It seems like getting married means having food to eat!"

Dong Chen suddenly sat up from the grass and said, "Brother Lin, do you have any festive songs? Let's go to the wedding and have a meal! There will be wine and meat!"

You're such a genius!

Lin Zhixing also sat up and looked at the business card handed to him by the Rolls-Royce driver, and felt that it was feasible.

Then the system mall was opened.

"Song selection card", "high pitch capsule", "breakthrough capsule", "bad luck capsule" used in "Lady of Luxurious Fragrance" has become "bad luck sticker".

The redemption price of the four currently unlocked items is 10 points. Although the points are not enough at present, you can redeem them once for free after the system upgrades.

【bite!】

[The song selection card was used successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "Sugar"! ]

With three minutes to recover his memory, Lin Zhixing chose a song without hesitation.

Maroon 5, the band that made a name for itself as a wedding band, was once a global hit. Their song "Sugar" has been played over 3.2 billion times on YouTube, ranking seventh.

They never contribute money when attending a banquet. They just peel a coconut and give a pear, and they can eat and drink for free at other people's weddings.

Lin Zhixing's mouth corners raised to his ears.

Who the hell eats bread? I drink wine and eat meat!
