This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 164 Let's Row Our Boats, 055 Pushing Away the Waves
Meanwhile, Zhou Hao was at home with his wife and children.

He has now entered retirement age, and even when he travels, he won't join the crowds during holidays.

During holidays, he prefers to stay at home with his children, and when he goes out, he just goes for a short trip around the neighborhood.

His daughter was kneeling among a pile of toys, playing with them, while the song "Let Us Row Our Boats" was playing from the speakers next to her.

Zhou Hao pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out how to modify the song to make it rock.

Lu Ran sent another message.

"Just tell me, do you want to shake it or not?"

"How so?" Zhou Hao asked.

"I wrote a new song that I think suits you quite well."

Upon seeing this sentence, Zhou Hao's eyes immediately lit up.

Lu Ran hasn't written a song for him yet.

Last time, Lu Ran wrote a song for Lin Xingchu, which made him very envious.

But he is, after all, a senior figure, and can't keep following Lu Ran around asking questions all day long.

The last time I sang "I Love You, China," it was because it was written naturally.

Zhou Hao typed a message to inquire.

"What does this have to do with 'Let's row our boats and switch to rock music'?"

Lu Ran replied quickly.

"The melody of this song can be paired with the lyrics 'Let's row our boats,' wouldn't that get us rocking?"

Zhou Hao still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Is this using the melody of one song to match the lyrics of another?
Isn't this nonsense?
However, the allure of Lu Ran's new song was too great to resist.

Lu Ran then posted another message.

"All you need to do is post a video of yourself singing the rock version of 'Let Us Row Our Boats,' and this new song is yours."

Zhou Hao hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't resist the temptation.

This new song is a must-sing!

It's just rocking out, right?

What's the big deal!

Zhou Hao: "Send it! We absolutely have to send it!"

"A word is settled!"

After sending the message, Lu Ran used a song redemption card to redeem a song.

The song is called "Let's Rock Together".

On Earth, a hybrid version of "Let's Rock Together" and "Let's Row Our Boats" is very popular on short video platforms.

In today's era, short video platforms have become an indispensable platform for publicity.

Big data can create information cocoons, but it can also be used to our advantage.

He wants to use big data to promote the song.

He sent the instrumental and sheet music files for the song "Let's Rock Together" directly to Zhou Hao.

Lu Ran is already very experienced in the area of ​​song copyright transactions.

Whether it's Zhou Hao or Lin Xingchu, they only sold a portion of the song's copyright, not the entire copyright.

He entrusted all these matters to Li Quan.

He mainly discussed with Zhou Hao how to sing the song.

After Zhou Hao became familiar with the song, he followed Lu Ran's method and incorporated the lyrics of "Let Us Row Our Boats" into the melody of "Let's Rock Together".

"Let us row our oars! Let our little boat push through the waves!"

After singing two lines, Zhou Hao felt his face turn red.

This is too shameful!

Who is Zhou Hao?

In the eyes of the audience and fans, he is very serious. Singing this kind of song and then posting the video to the entire internet audience is just unbecoming.

Zhou Hao quickly sent a message to Lu Ran.

"Wow, I feel like I can't meet your requirements, I can't sing it."

After a while, Lu Ran sent a long message.

"Comrade Zhou, the primary task of literary and artistic workers is to serve the people. The reinterpretation of the song 'Let Us Row Our Boats' in the form of rock music perfectly embodies the literary and artistic policy of creative transformation and innovative development. This adaptation not only retains the spiritual core of the work but also resonates with young people. It is a practice that truly puts social benefits first."

As an outstanding artist, you should take the lead in creating high-quality adaptations that are down-to-earth, widely disseminated, and enduring. Your professional rock performance perfectly embodies the organic unity of thought, artistry, and entertainment in this work.

After reading this passage, Zhou Hao felt extremely ashamed.

He actually betrayed the original intention of artists!

More importantly, how could this be so high-class?

Is this really not something you posted just for fun?

Zhou Hao felt that Lu Ran was fooling him, but he had no proof.

This passage is absolutely flawless!

At this moment, Lu Ran sent another message.

"Comrade Zhou, this is a task assigned to you by the organization. Please make sure you complete it!"

Zhou Hao gritted his teeth and made up his mind. "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

The next day, Zhou Hao first recorded the studio version of "Let's Rock Together".

For a seasoned professional singer like him, recording a song is a piece of cake.

In the evening, after playing with the children, Lu Ran went to Zhou Hao's house.

Zhou Hao also has a karaoke room at home.

Under the guidance of Comrade Lu Ran, Zhou Hao sang a rock version of "Let Us Row Our Boats".

Comrade Lu Ran used his mobile phone to record Zhou Hao's performance.

After recording the video, Lu Ran smiled and said, "Teacher Zhou, you sang very well. Netizens will definitely like it."

Zhou Hao didn't want to talk.

He was now certain that he had been fooled by Lu Ran.

Is this a serious song?

Lu Ran edited the video and sent it to Zhou Hao.

"Teacher Zhou, please send it out."

Zhou Hao is feeling wronged like a child, but he has already agreed, so he has no choice but to post it.

He uploaded the video to his Weibo and Douyin accounts, and also promoted his new song "Let's Rock Together".

Since these are hybrid songs, the audience should know which two songs they are a hybrid of.

After posting the video, Zhou Hao immediately turned off his phone.

He looked at Lu Ran and said, "You should go back quickly, or I'm afraid you won't be able to get back if it gets too late."

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to beat Lu Ran up.

Lu Ran laughed and said, "Just wait for the fire!"

After saying that, Lu Ran slipped away.

After Zhou Hao posted the video, his fans were the first to receive a notification.

A group of fans quickly clicked on it.

At the beginning of the video, Zhou Hao said to the camera: "Hello everyone, my new song 'Let's Rock Together' has been officially released. The lyricist and composer of this song is Lu Ran, who is very familiar to everyone."

Lu Ran's recently composed children's song "Let Us Row Our Boats" has sparked much discussion. Please enjoy my rock version of "Let Us Row Our Boats."

After he finished speaking, the scene changed.

Zhou Hao took the microphone and started singing.

"Let us row our oars, and let our little boat push through the waves!"

"The beautiful white pagoda is reflected in the sea!"

"Surrounded by green trees and red walls!"

"Let's row our oars! Let's row our oars!"

The fans were completely dumbfounded.

"Wait, wait, is this right?"

"Teacher Zhou, what happened to you?"

"I just heard 'Let Us Row Our Boats' during the day, but it's not this tune!"

"It's a bit addictive!"

"You're not rowing with oars, you're rowing with nuclear-powered oars!"

Fans also gave it a thumbs up and shared it with their friends while watching.

Everyone listened to "Let's Rock Together" again and found that it was a hybrid of two songs.

"Who came up with this terrible idea? It certainly wasn't Director Lu. Could it have been Zhou Hao's own idea?"

"It must have been Zhou Hao's idea; he just loves doing these kinds of things!"

"I'm sorry, Director Lu, I've forgotten how the original singer sang it."

"Zhou Hao, your arbitrary alterations to Director Lu's song are like gilding the lily!"

Overnight, the rock version of "Let Us Row Our Boats" became a viral sensation online.

My use of internet memes is the most lethal.

If it were someone else singing, it wouldn't have spread so quickly, but since it's Zhou Hao singing it himself.

By the next day, Zhou Hao's comment section had changed.

The most liked comment is:

"Let us row our oars, the Type 055 destroyer pushes through the waves, the Beidou navigation system is reflected on the sea, missiles roar all around, aircraft carriers drift on the water, a fierce east wind blows in our faces, red scarves face the sun, sunlight shines on the enemy, carrier-based aircraft fly over the clouds, electromagnetic guns cut through the silent ocean."

The internet has been buzzing these past few days with this video of a nuclear-powered propeller, which has amused netizens with its quirky humor.

Some netizens have already used this song with images of giant steel ships sailing at sea, and the number of views and likes is quite high.

At 10 a.m., Zhou Hao turned on his phone.

Not long after I turned on the computer, a series of prompts appeared.

Some are from the Douyin app, some from Weibo, some from WeChat—the list goes on and on.

Zhou Hao almost thought his phone was broken.

When the phone finally stopped shaking, he checked it and his hands were numb.

This one video has ten times more views than all his previous videos combined!
