Huayu 1995

Chapter 173 is simply cruel (Seeking monthly votes)
"There's one more..."

Su Chao handed over another cassette tape.

He could imagine the emotional impact "The Promise" had on Lin Xi.

Because in a little over a month, he will begin writing this song.

In other words, his mindset and inspiration were already in place.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Unfortunately, a tornado came and swept everything away.

Even if he could manage to come up with something decent, he would feel extremely ashamed.

Damn it, how could I plagiarize someone else's song?

He is from mainland China.

Then I fell into a deep sense of self-loathing.

With one's Daoist heart shattered, it becomes even more impossible to write anything.

"There's one more!"

Lin Xi thought that the two songs Su Chao mentioned were two versions of the same song.

"Swallowing the wind and kissing the rain, burying the setting sun, I never wavered / Deceiving mountains and chasing the sea, treading snow-covered paths, I never despaired / Plucking flowers and holding wine, I cruelly sway the madness of human emotions..."

The system will use Su Chao's voice when providing samples.

With his current singing skills, it's difficult for him to sing this song very well.

However, as a music demo, the pronunciation is at least very clear. In addition, after listening to it once, Lin Xi deliberately listened to it twice more in slow motion, so he could understand the lyrics pretty well.

The lyrics incorporate many Buddhist doctrines, interpreting the meaning of "the tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease" from a Buddhist perspective.

Every note and every word is like a pulsating heartbeat, powerfully propelling the flow of emotion and filling the entire song with tension and infectiousness.

This kind of song...

He seems to be having trouble writing!

Lin Xi listened to it several times in a row, but still had to admit that he really couldn't write it.

He is known as the King of Lyrics.

If he can't write it, then isn't this young man even more capable than him?

If this is a challenge to his title as the "King of Words," then he has already lost.

And they lost completely.

After two losses, there was no point in even playing the third game.

Actually, Lin Xi was getting stuck on a nitpicky point.

On the one hand, this song is derived from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", combining martial arts stories with Buddhist philosophy to present its final form.

This was unexpected, and writing this song out of thin air doubled the difficulty.

On the other hand, it usually takes him ten days to half a month, and sometimes even several months, to create a song and slowly find inspiration and carefully craft the words.

It's impossible to write it down now on short notice.

Could he write "The Difficult Sutra"?
nonsense!

He wrote this originally.

He hadn't thought of all that, so he became very depressed.

When Su Chao asked him if there was anything that could be changed, he raised his eyelids, glanced at Su Chao, shook his head dejectedly, and said:
"Both songs are just right, I don't think there's anything that needs to be changed, it's just that it's hard to find a singer for the second one."

The demo features Su Chao singing.

The system perfectly replicated Su Chao's voice and singing skills.

However, it's far from suitable for recording songs.

Lin Xi pointed this out, partly to save face for himself.

See? This kid isn't good at everything.

He forgot that he couldn't have sex with him either.

"I'd like to hear it too..."

Andy Lau couldn't hold back any longer.

Have you ever heard of me, Liu Shisi?
Lin Xi listlessly handed him the tape recorder, continuing to sink into deep self-doubt.

Liu Shisi was full of confidence.

After listening, he chuckled twice and put the tape recorder down.

Actually, he could listen to another cassette tape; at least he could sing that song without any problem. But he was terrified by "The Hard-to-Recite Sutra" and had lost confidence in Liu Shisi.

"It is indeed a bit difficult to sing. Brother Hua will spread the word for me later, saying that I have a song that most people probably can't sing well, and all kinds of geniuses are welcome to come and challenge it. Whoever can sing it well, I will... sell it to him!"

It's impossible to give something away for free.

This was bought by Su Chao from Lin Xi's shop with real money.

The agreement costs 55,000, while the difficult scriptures cost 72,000.

After making the donation, Su Chao had more than 90,000 yuan left. Fortunately, the tuition for the second training course also arrived, bringing the total to 140,000 to 150,000 yuan. Otherwise, it might not have been enough to buy the two songs.

"The Agreement" was sold to the princess for 120,000.

Let's hype up "The Difficult Sutra" first, hold a competition, and charge 100,000 yuan to whoever buys it.

When the time comes, the producers of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" will come to us to buy the copyright for the theme song, and we'll charge them tens of thousands of yuan.

Lin Xi stared in disbelief.

He never imagined it could be done this way.

However, he was caught in a state of self-loathing, so he couldn't muster any idea to do something similar.

That's why he couldn't muster any enthusiasm when talking to Su Chao about his creative process.

Geniuses all have one thing in common.

Those are people who hate showing off in front of them, and those who don't give them a chance to show off.

When Su Chao played these two songs, Lin Xi immediately lost all courage to show off.

So he overlooked one point.

If he observes and explores carefully, he will find that Su Chao actually doesn't know anything.

Su Chao was also afraid that he would realize what was happening.

The group ate something and then parted ways. Before leaving, Su Chao asked Lin Xi for her contact information, saying that he hadn't had enough fun this time and that he would definitely visit her again next time he came to Hong Kong.

Lin Xi took it as just a platitude.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

Years later, Lin Xi wrote a short essay:

The sixth day of the month is the Awakening of Insects.

Every year around this time, someone comes to ask me to have a drink.

His name is Rotten Boy.

This person is strange; he always comes from the north, a habit he has maintained for many years.

I don't actually like this person.

He taught me what jealousy is.

But I will still see him.

Because apart from him, hardly anyone else comes to see me anymore.

When people leave, the tea is cool.

I haven't created anything decent for many years.

…………

Leaving Liangyou Ice Room, Su Chao sighed with satisfaction.

Looking forward to seeing you again.

Su Chao didn't actually like Lin Xi either, not out of jealousy.

He was reborn, and he knew better than anyone what Lin Xi would do in the future.

That's why he wanted to fleece Lin Xi.

Moreover, after each song was finished, he would play it for Lin Xi to listen to.

Kill people and kill your heart.

It's not just attacking someone's spirit, it's downright cruel.

Su Chao returned from his trip to Hong Kong with a wealth of experiences.

Upon returning, he immediately contacted the princess and told her that he had created another song specifically for her.

"Am I fat?"

This question was asked to Dou Wei by the princess.

"no."

Dou Wei looked at it carefully for a moment, and finally shook his head.

His career came to a standstill.

Having broken ties with Black Panther, and with no bonuses from Hung Hom.

In addition, he himself had his reasons; he no longer wanted to cater to the masses, and he only wanted to make his own voice heard.

"I'm not fat, so why did that kid try to kill me?"

The princess knew her joke was a bit lame, but she really didn't think Su Chao could come up with any good songs.

It's only been a short time.

Even Lin Xi couldn't possibly write another good song in such a short time.

Even rabbits don't give birth this quickly.

Moreover, Su Chao's job is not just to write lyrics.

He also took on the responsibility of composing and arranging the music.

It takes more effort than writing a lyric by Lin Xi.

If the song is no good, and we still sell it to her instead of selling it to someone else, isn't that just treating her like a lamb to the slaughter?
"Then you can refuse."

Dou Wei didn't even glance at her. If you don't want to be taken advantage of, you can refuse when you answer the phone.

So why be so dramatic?

"Damn, how can we refuse him? Who dares to refuse him nowadays!"

The princess said angrily.

Whether it's good or not, you'll only know after you've used it.

A group of people outside mocked her for being a sucker, but only someone like her who listened to the song herself knew how good "Red Bean" really was and how suitable it was for her.

Tailor-made!
I'm not kidding.

When Su Chao called, he also mentioned that he had "tailor-made" another song for her.

This word made the princess dare not be negligent.

Let alone 100,000 per song, even if he raises the price to 200,000.

At most, the princess would complain about how heartless the boy was behind his back.

You should still greet them with a smile when they are face to face.

Actually, Su Chao was just trying to save himself trouble; casting for movies was already a headache for him.

Does he intend to find another buyer for the song?

Whoever is supposed to sing the song should sing it; at most, we'll just avoid singers with questionable morals.

Besides, not many people can afford a song that costs 100,000 yuan.

The meeting place was a small tea room in a courtyard house.

There's no need to go to Casablanca this time. The princess is a celebrity, and Su Chao is a top star; it would be difficult for them to keep a low profile if they met.

The tea room is large and has a nice environment; it even has comfortable couches.

It's just a bit pricey.

However, Su Chao definitely won't pay the bill, so whether it's cheap or expensive doesn't matter to him.

After the princess entered, she calmly surveyed her surroundings.

He looked at Su Chao with a somewhat indescribable expression.

Does this kid even know that these kinds of teahouses not only provide guests with a private environment to discuss business, but also offer a place for men and women who are not comfortable having sex to meet?
