This man knows how to hype

Chapter 473 Mom, they started fighting! (Additional Chapter 47)

Hu Ningwei's eyes are big and bright.

This sweet face is full of energy.

But one time, Xu Xiyu saw her wearing bright makeup, and this sweet face had a majestic look.

Now, her slightly jealous look made Xu Xiyu see something different about her.

So Xu Xiyu replied with a smile: "It was indeed written for Qin Yao."

"I remember that her English was quite good. She used English to communicate with people at the Venice Film Festival." Hu Ningwei looked at Xu Xiyu with her head slightly tilted, with a half-smile on her face.

But Xu Xiyu didn't answer after hearing that. He just put his hands on the table, supported his chin and stared at her.

"Why are you looking at me?" Hu Ningwei felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

"Would a girl like you, a princess-like person, also be jealous?" Xu Xiyu still held her chin with a smile on her face.

"Who is jealous? Why should I be jealous?" Hu Ningwei's face suddenly turned hot, and her evasive eyes were a little flustered.

"Oh~" Xu Xiyu said "Oh" with a noncommittal smile, his tone was very "hateful".

This "Oh" made Hu Ningwei's ears blush. To be honest, she didn't know what to do because no one had ever treated her like this since she was a child.

Hu Ningtian protected her very closely, which resulted in her not only not interacting much with boys at school, but also having very limited contact with boys in her life.

This is also the main reason why she behaved abnormally like a little girl when facing Hu Ningtian and Xu Xiyu.

After all, she is not that old and has been an orphan since childhood. She has some accumulated emotional needs that need to be vented and expressed.

The polite yet distant state when facing others, and the "immature" but already emerging skills shown in handling some things, are all gone.

People are never one-sided, and the same is true for Hu Ningwei.

As for Xu Xiyu, the biggest threat and harsh words she could think of at the moment was "I'm ignoring you!"

Because she treated her brother and even her grandfather the same way.

So, after hearing Xu Xiyu's "Oh~", she was at a loss, stomped her legs a few times and said, "If you continue like this, I won't pay attention to you!"

Unfortunately, such words have no effect at all on people like Xu Xiyu.

He stretched out two fingers, pinched the corner of her clothes and pulled them: "No, please pay attention to me. If you ignore me, I will be very sad."

"You...are you playing rogue?" Hu Ningwei's face became redder and redder.

"Why do you still like me? I am a scoundrel. Do you think you are stupid or great? Everyone here has talked about how bad my reputation is, but you never mind..."

Seeing Xu Xiyu suddenly start singing, Hu Ningwei was stunned and asked, "Ah? What is he singing?"

"'The Scoundrel.'" Xu Xiyu laughed.

"Is there such a song?" Hu Ningwei searched in her mind.

"Yes, I wrote it when I was in Hong Kong." Xu Xiyu took the opportunity to deepen the topic, intending to completely move on from the matter of writing an English song for Lu Qinyao.

“Then why not publish it?”

"I have a lot of songs that I haven't released yet. Do you want to hear them? You want me to sing them for you."

"Then sing another song."

“Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you, Like I never ever loved no one before you”

"Pfft~ Wait wait wait, Pretty boy?" Hu Ningwei really couldn't hold it in any longer, what was this singing?

“It’s me.”

"How shameless... hehe... hahahahahahahahaha..." Hu Ningwei covered her stomach and laughed. The three words "Lv Qinyao" no longer appeared in her mind.

Speaking of which, she has recently been studying and communicating with some teachers of history, archaeology, and intangible cultural heritage, with the aim of building up a concept of ancient top-level life.

Only after having this concept can we select materials and integrate them into our lives.

Xu Xiyu didn't want her to just shoot a "rouge" video and then another "accessories" video.

The ceiling for such content is not high, at most you are a "handmade blogger".

As analyzed before, one of the highlights of Li Ziqi's videos is that what she makes is integrated into her life. She has created a "Li Ziqi's pastoral world", making people feel that her life is just like in the videos.

Of course, everyone knows that it can't be like that, but this is the feeling we want.

It’s like watching the story of Monkey King. Everyone knows that Monkey King does not exist, but the audience will still have emotional fluctuations because of his story.

By the same token, Xu Xiyu hopes that Hu Ningwei can create a "Hu Ningwei's noble lady world".

This requires her to be able to achieve a "lifelike" flavor when selecting materials and shooting videos, rather than simply introducing a rouge, a piece of clothing, etc., which is boring.

High demands naturally require adequate preparation.

Therefore, Hu Ningwei has not actually started making videos until now.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Xiyu came to her for help in writing lyrics. If she was busy, Xu Xiyu would not come to disturb her.

After all, writing lyrics is different from writing other things. It requires some brainpower and some skills.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said seriously: "This foreign language album is a mini album, with about six or seven songs. I plan to release it in four languages."

"Which four?"

"English, Italian, Japanese, and Vietnamese."

"I understand English and Japanese, and I can also understand Italian. After all, you have cooperation with Venice, but what's the matter with this Vietnamese?" Hu Ningwei asked curiously.

"First, Vietnam is an important market in Southeast Asia. Second, we are actually quite well-known in Vietnam. Third, bringing Vietnam into the mix can also help offset the negative impact of singing Japanese songs."

Xu Xiyu certainly can't publish only English and Japanese songs. If he really does that, he'd be out of his mind. The name of a traitor is not so easy to bear, don't let the mud fall off your pants.

As for how Inoue would feel when he found out he was being tricked, that didn't matter. He had already made up his mind to turn against him.

Besides, if Inoue was a Japanese like Fujiko Fujio (the author of Doraemon), then he could be respected.

But Inoue is a man of pure ambition. There is no need to talk about morality with such a person. "To be honest, I thought you would release a Korean song to hedge against it."

"Korean songs? South Korea is an export-oriented market, there is no point in releasing Korean songs." Xu Xiyu shook his head. If he had a system and could remember Korean songs, he could give it a try.

But he had no system, so instead of writing songs in Korean, he would take the Korean melodies he remembered and turn them into songs in other languages.

"I was thinking, if your album becomes popular, Koreans will see that there are Japanese and Vietnamese songs but no Korean songs. I always feel that they will belittle us for not being able to write Korean songs and be very angry at the same time."

Hu Ningwei suddenly thought of a possibility.

This made Xu Xiyu laugh.

You know what, this seems like something only Koreans would do.

But it doesn’t matter, they can think whatever they want, no need to care, such an unfriendly and market-less place is really not important.

Wait, this attitude of mine might make them even angrier, right?

"Pfft~~Chichichichi..." Xu Xiyu was so amused by his own thoughts that he laughed out loud.

Seeing him smile, Hu Ningwei also smiled, and two beautiful dimples appeared on her face.

There are seven days of National Day holiday in total.

In the next five or six days, Hu Ningwei stayed with Xu Xiyu every day. The two of them played and laughed while writing English lyrics.

As I just said, this foreign language album has seven songs.

Among them, 3 English songs were released.

The first song is Adele’s famous work "Someone Like You". Xu Xiyu can actually remember part of the lyrics of this song and knows the general meaning of the lyrics.

After all, it is too classic and is often sung.

Moreover, Lv Qinyao must have felt very touched when singing this kind of song.

The second song was Beyoncé’s classic “Halo”, and Xu Xiyu also knew the general meaning of the lyrics of this song.

As for the third song, it is an anti-war song called "One day".

As I said before, things are not peaceful here on Blue Planet. Just before the Winter Olympics, some places were experiencing conflicts, so Xu Xiyu wrote "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

Since we are going to release an English album this time, having an anti-war song can raise the level of this album, and it can also shut up many people and avoid some risks.

As for the Italian songs, I only wrote one, and asked Sherlock in Venice to help find someone to write the lyrics.

The melody is the classic song "Un'Emergenza D'amore (Love Emergency)" by Italian prima donna Lola Paschini

This is a very old song. If a local Italian singer releases a song like this, it will be considered outdated.

But the performance of foreign singers like Lu Qinyao has a different flavor.

Just like when a foreign female singer came to China and performed the song "The Moon Represents My Heart", it would not feel outdated and everyone would just feel surprised.

Speaking of which, many people in China should be familiar with the melody of this song, because this song was played when Soho bars closed.

This is also the only Italian song Xu Xiyu knows. After writing it, he either has to quit the Italian music scene or use other melodies to match it.

But the melody characteristics and language of the song are actually linked, and the resulting language may not necessarily sound good.

I also only wrote one Vietnamese song and asked the channel partner in Vietnam to help arrange someone to come to Beijing to write the lyrics. The melody was the famous Vietnamese song, "See Tình (See Love)" by Huang Chui-Ling.

This song is also known as "Ding Ding Dong Dong", which means "Hey hey hey hey... Ding ding ding ding... "

It is a very famous background music on YouTube and Tiktok, with 4.7 million views.

The funniest thing is that Xu Xiyu was previously severely criticized for this song by a Vietnamese marketing account.

Thanks to this, he realized that "ding ding ding ding dong" was not an onomatopoeia, but had a specific meaning.

This feels a bit like reading "Each country has its own national anthem" in Cantonese. It sounds like someone is imitating the crowing of a rooster, but it actually has content.

As for Japanese songs, Xu Xiyu plans to write two. Firstly, the Japanese record market is huge, and since there is a chance to make money this time, he might as well make more.

Secondly, to be honest, thanks to anime, he can remember so many Japanese songs that it would be a waste if he didn't use them.

So, he wrote an anime song called "Anohana".

There is also a song with a super catchy melody, "ありがとう (Thank you)" by Yoshida Akiko. This song also has a Chinese name "Confession of Tears".

There was no need to find someone to write the lyrics, because Xu Xiyu had someone who was fluent in Japanese, her goddaughter Yang Wanwan.

Since she was a child, her mother Chen Peiduo arranged for someone to teach her Japanese. There is no need to explain the purpose in detail. After all, Japan was not as bad as it is today more than ten years ago.

Just tell her what you want the lyrics to express and she should be able to fill it in.

However, Xu Xiyu hasn't gone to find her yet, as Hu Ningwei hasn't finished her work yet.

It's not just writing lyrics that's busy.

There is something more important, or rather, they still have an important fake show to perform.

The evening of April 10.

Hu Ningwei's cousin Li Yiguang received the news that Xu Xiyu not only refused to break up with Ke Xinying, but also continued to flirt with Hu Ningwei, as if he was two-timing.

"My eldest cousin is furious now and wants to cause trouble for Xu Xiyu. Mom, the two of them have finally started fighting!" Li Yi Guang said excitedly to his mother Du Zhiping.

As mentioned before, Du Zhiping and Li Yiguang, the mother and son, had been planning to use Xu Xiyu to sow discord between Hu Ningtian and his sister from the very beginning.

But it never happened later.

When she introduced Hu Ningtian and Cheng Yunqing for a blind date on the boat, she was disappointed when she saw Xu Xiyu and Hu Ningwei being so intimate because Hu Ningtian didn't react.

Now, when they suddenly received this news, the mother and son's silent hearts began to beat instantly.

"Let's go, let's go... uh... put out the fire. But we must not let Ning Tian do anything impulsive." Du Zhiping picked up the bag and walked out.
