Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 335 Someone is here to give money!
The day before the official casting, Zhou Hao was not idle either. He began to arrange for Cao Xing to record a song.

But when Cao Xing got the first song he had been longing for, he was completely stunned.

"Rock + super fast rap... Bro, how do you sing this?"

"Just sing it like this." Zhou Hao glanced at him, "Don't tell me you've never sung RAP before?"

"I have sung it before, but..." Cao Xing scratched his head and was too embarrassed to continue.

The rap he sang was totally different from this tune.

Nowadays, almost all RAP is based on DISS, criticizing everything, and those seemingly neatly rhymed lyrics contain all kinds of pornography, gambling and drugs...

But the song Zhou Hao gave is completely different from this one.

What's even more bizarre is that this rap has a rock style. He has never even heard of this kind of song, let alone rap.

No idea.

"If you don't want to sing, forget it. I'll take it..."

"Don't!" Cao Xing was startled and quickly snatched the music sheet away, "Brother, I didn't say I won't sing."

Are you kidding? This is a work written and composed by Zhou Hao. If it is released, it will probably shock most of the Chinese music scene!

Blame it on yourself, just trust it and that’s all!
That afternoon, Cao Xing personally contacted the Chaodongli Recording Studio, a professional recording studio he had often visited to record songs in the past and was considered a VIP old customer.

Lin Ming, the owner of the recording studio, is a second-generation rich man. When he came out to receive guests, he was wearing HIPOP-style clothes and a big gold chain... I didn't know whether to praise him for being trendy or vulgar.

When the two met, they just bumped fists, showing their tacit understanding.

After a few pleasantries, Cao Xing quickly prepared to introduce Zhou Hao.

“Go away, do I need you to introduce this?” Lin Ming ran up to him happily, “Teacher Zhou, I’ve heard a lot about you. I play all your songs on repeat!”

Zhou Hao smiled and shook hands in return, laughing secretly in his heart: No wonder he can play together with Cao Xing, they are both so unruly!
After signing the agreement, Zhou Hao handed over the song score.

The recording studio already has a dedicated accompaniment team, and we need to let them familiarize themselves with the music and get used to it before moving on to the next stage.

After sitting and chatting for an hour, Cao Xing took off his coat and walked into the recording studio.

Before Zhou Hao put on the monitoring headphones, Lin Ming suddenly rubbed his hands and said, "Teacher Zhou, can I trouble you for something?"

Seeing that he was a little reserved, Zhou Hao couldn't help but feel curious: "What?"

“Next time if there’s a chance, can you bring Teacher Xu here to record a song?” Lin Ming said, “I’ve been her die-hard fan since I was in school.”

Tsk, it turns out he’s Xu Lingyue’s little fanboy.

"Okay." Zhou Hao readily agreed, "I can bring the person here, but you can't take advantage of the opportunity to overcharge us, okay?"

"What are you talking about?" Lin Ming's eyes widened. "Teacher Xu came here to record a song, and I still want her money? Do I need that little money?"

When Zhou Hao was about to reply, the sound engineer turned around and made a gesture for silence, indicating that the recording was about to begin.

The two quickly put on their headphones and looked into the recording studio through the window.

Recording a song is a long process, which requires the accompaniment group and the singer to get familiar with each other and work together. Recording a new song in three to five days is generally considered fast.

The arrangement of this new song is relatively complex, which is definitely a big challenge for the accompaniment.

The first time he sang it, it was basically just an experimental performance of the accompaniment. Cao Xing just looked at the lyrics book and hummed a few lines along with the accompaniment.

However, even this fragmented attempt made Lin Ming's eyes sparkle.

"Fuck, this song is kind of catchy!" After working on it three or five times, the whole song has begun to take shape.

"The smoke from the rock grill is everywhere. Next door is the national martial arts hall.

There are three sections of the Mama Sang tea ceremony in the store.
The boss who teaches boxing and martial arts practices iron sand palm and Yang family spear..."

The song Zhou Hao brought out was the "Nunchucks" that Jay Chou used to dominate the charts back then. Its dynamic and avant-garde style and positive lyrics are definitely not comparable to those filthy RAPs.

But Cao Xing obviously can't adapt to the intensity of this song, and the lyrics are almost all off the mark...

The accompaniment on the other side was not much better, it was scattered and chaotic.

But this did not affect Lin Ming's appreciation at all.

"The most skilled in hard-core kung fu is also the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt
Their son, I am used to being influenced by him since childhood.
I can wield any kind of knife, gun or stick in a very good manner
What weapon do you like best? Nunchakus are soft but strong.

I want to go to Songshan, Henan to learn Shaolin and Wudang..."

After trying out the song for halfway, Lin Ming took off his headphones and clapped his hands in admiration, "Cool, this lyric is so cool!"

The sound engineer standing by also looked at Zhou Hao with astonishment.

Seeing is believing, it is indeed Teacher Zhou.

There is almost nothing wrong with the rhyme of the lyrics. Moreover, it is not rhymed just for the sake of rhyming, making a bunch of empty lyrics that are whining without any reason. The content of the lyrics is quite solid.

What’s even more rare is that the lyrics are full of strong Chinese style and martial arts elements…

This is the RAP song that belongs to China. What are those chanting songs that mechanically imitate English RAP?

It can be predicted that once this song is released on the market, it will definitely be a bomb for the stagnant Chinese music scene!
As expected, the one who can save this stagnant water is Teacher Zhou!

After practicing for more than an hour, Cao Xing walked out.

Lin Ming went up and punched him, "You are so lucky, this song will be enough to support you for the rest of your life!"

Cao Xing chuckled, "Nonsense, don't you even look at who wrote the song!"

After lunch, Zhou Hao received a call from Zhang Hong.

"Someone has come to bid for the physical copyright of "Swordsman". Do you want to meet him?"

"Which one?"

"We are old friends, from Taiwan's Hongxin Publishing House." Zhang Hong said with a smile, "And this time they are very sincere, and the initial offer they gave is much higher than last time."

"Oh?" Zhou Hao became interested. "You were so frantic last time, but you're so generous this time?"

"It's selling well! The Legend of the Condor Heroes has been selling like crazy in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. When the copyright fees are settled in the second half of the year, you will know how exaggerated the sales are."

After a pause, Zhang Hong lowered her voice and said, "Why do you think Mr. Xie came all the way to see you in person? In fact, part of the reason is that he is jealous of the sales and popularity of your book in the Chinese community!"

"After you sign the physical copyright of "Swordsman" and sell it for a few years, I think you can make a lot of money just from the copyright fees of the physical book."

Zhou Hao chuckled. This is just the beginning.
Film and television works are the best communication media. When the adapted TV movies become popular, the sales and popularity of the original work will further increase.

By then, it will be almost certain that the person who gets the most copyright fees will be the one in the bag!
However, after having a studio, he also experienced what it means to spend money like water.

We still have to keep working hard!
After finishing the novel of "Swordsman", which gap should I fill next?
