Chapter 367 The Directors Can Finally Afford to Buy the Copyright
With the good start given by the two big brothers, the others finally understood what the game of "You Draw, I Guess" was all about.
The program team should understand that if they only put the names, these old people probably don’t know what the specific buildings or famous paintings look like, so they also thoughtfully provided corresponding pictures when asking questions.
However, the person who is gesturing can make a similar gesture by looking at the picture, but the person who is guessing the question may not be able to understand it. Even if they understand it, it is useless if they don’t know the correct answer.
So the picture in the title is useful but not very useful. It is only very friendly to the performers, and the guessers still don’t know the answer.
So the second group to perform was the Xingyuanhu trio. Even though Zhang Yuan was there to help Wang Yuexin improve her performance, Su Xing, who knew what those buildings or paintings looked like, couldn't remember their scientific names. In the end, he could only perform those names word by word.
Yu Yu, who was the last one to go on stage, wisely asked Lu Hu to demonstrate, because he definitely had more knowledge about these things than Lu Hu, and Lu Hu's imaginative body language was more suitable for performance.
Then the two of them demonstrated to the other two groups what a standard example is, and Yu Yu once again showed the future audience friends behind the camera the profound cultural background of a musician who looks like a sports student but is actually a business student.
Many of the topics they drew were paintings that looked familiar but they didn't know the names of. God knows how Yu Yu was able to blurt out the names of those paintings from Lu Hu's imitation of the characters in the paintings.
So it was no surprise that their group won their first team battle, and Land Rover still holds the top spot in the standings with an absolute lead.
This result was something that even Lu Hu himself had not expected. He actually jumped from the bottom of the list to the top?
Yu Yu would do anything to help Land Rover maintain its current position.
"Brother Hu, don't worry," Yu Yu patted his chest. "From now on, Chen Fusheng is no longer my eldest brother. I want to take advantage of the fight between Su Xing and him and help you become the new eldest brother."
"Ah? Me?" Lu Hu pointed at himself blankly.
"Yes, it's you, my Star City champion." Yu Yu patted Lu Hu's shoulder suddenly. Lu Hu was the champion of the Star City competition area at that time, and he was his comrade-in-arms, and it is still the same now.
"My first comrade-in-arms, thank you for still being by my side." Lu Hu showed an exaggerated expression of emotion and held Yu Yu's hand.
Chen Fusheng didn't mind Yu Yu's teasing at all. He and Wang Zhengliang were watching the Star City Twins from that year with a smile. Meanwhile, Su Xing, seeing this, suddenly started chatting with Zhang Yuan and Wang Yuexin:
"What's going on between the two of them all of a sudden?"
"I don't know, maybe he's having a second-year syndrome." Zhang Yuan also covered his mouth and said in a voice that everyone could hear.
Wang Yuexin nodded in agreement. "They're talking as if they're going to win right away. Hu Zi only has eight more points than Allen Su, and they have five points for completing the final round. If they fail, even if they can beat Su Xing, they may not be able to beat the others."
Su Xing: ? Why don’t we just disband this team?
The last round of challenges was more interesting. It was a music-related game, but the music songs used here were not the Chinese songs they were familiar with, but three different classic works from Pizza Hut, France and Bullfighting Country, which had, of course, been translated into Chinese.
The rules of the game sound simple enough. The three groups will draw a song by lot. They will then have five minutes to familiarize themselves with a selection of the song, memorizing the sounds of each word in the aria. The program will then shuffle the words to form a new sentence, and the group will then need to sing the new melody using the corresponding sounds of the words.
Simply put, the lyrics in the selected passages are reorganized into another new line of lyrics, and their corresponding scale melodies are also reorganized.
"Does this mean that 'thank you for the special invitation' becomes 'special thanks...'? What's the corresponding tone for these words? 'Special, special↑, special↓thank you →for the invitation↑..."
Zhang Yuan tried his own song, feeling his throat knotted before he could finish the new verse. He glared at Zhao Hao speechlessly, "Where on earth did you get this kind of game where you don't write songs properly?"
"But it feels quite interesting." Wang Zhengliang was so excited that he felt like playing the piano. He sat down at the piano, pressed the keys and began to search for the tune. After a few seconds, the melody of the chorus of "Guest" changed into another familiar feeling. "Thank you very much for inviting me to witness our love and remind me not to run away from myself."
"Wow, Brother Liang, you're quite something." Su Xing immediately praised, "Your sense of music is incredible."
"This is because I am familiar with this song. If I were to change to a completely unfamiliar piece, it might not be easy to do," Professor Wang said modestly.
"Brother Liang, Brother Liang," Wang Yuexin called out to him, "Why don't you stop talking and take care of the life and death of Yuanyuan."
Wang Yuexin said this, reaching out and shaking Zhang Yuan, who was almost unconscious.
Zhang Yuansheng was completely disappointed: "Brother Liang, you are familiar with this song, but logically speaking, this is my song, so I am more familiar with it..."
"Actually, being too familiar with the song isn't good either. Excessive familiarity will cause the original melody of the song to become ingrained in your mind." Yu Yu patted Zhang Yuan's shoulder. "It should be familiar, but not completely familiar."
"Then Brother Sheng can only put in half the effort so that it can be half-cooked." Wang Zhengliang continued very naturally. When the brothers heard this and realized what they heard, it was too late.
The sound of vomiting blood due to being hit hard by the rotten stems came one after another.
Chen Fusheng's voice was particularly clear when he responded: "The fish will take just one minute to cook until it's medium rare."
It’s not you, Shengge???
"In this case, Huhu and Yuanyuan can also spend one minute, and seven-tenths and nine-tenths rare are not considered fully cooked." Yu Yu touched his chin.
"But Allen didn't work, because medium-rare was too rare. Hu Zi and I didn't work either. One of us tried it very well, and the other tried it 130%, but it was mushy." Wang Zhengliang added.
"That's enough, you guys really have!"
"Stop it! Is this retribution for being trapped in the villa?"
Being surrounded by Brother Xiao Liang's bad jokes is probably the brothers' fate in this life. What's even more tragic is that there is an assassin who picks up the jokes and a naughty kid who likes to watch the fun and make trouble.
The lottery for the three Italian, French, and Spanish songs was done by drawing lots from small pieces of paper—yes, three randomly scraped pieces of paper—and each of the three groups sent representatives to draw lots. Zhao Hao didn't find this method too crude or casual; he simply thought customizing props specifically for this event was pointless and that the money would be better spent elsewhere.
When Lu Hu came back from drawing lots and saw the names of the French songs in porcelain version on the slip of paper, Yu Yu knew where the money had been spent. It was most likely that it was used to buy the copyrights of these songs.
The song they drew was "Les Rois Du Monde (Lord of the World)", one of the theme songs from the classic French musical "Romeo and Juliet".
The song Chen Fusheng drew was "Santa Lucia", an Italian folk song that is very famous in the country of Pizza.
At present, English + Spanish combination songs are quite popular in the European and American music scene. The Spanish work drawn by Xingyuanhu is also the one with the most expensive copyright fee among the three, "Alucinogeno" from Query.
When the three of them saw this song, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but choked on his own saliva and started coughing violently. Wang Yuexin jumped up from her seat and ran towards Yu Yu, but she regained her senses in time and reached out her hand quickly, starting with Yu Yu and clapping hands with everyone else one by one, and finally clenched her fist and shouted "yes".
"I know this song very well. It was the first Spanish song I learned." Wang Yuexin made no secret of his identity as a huge fan of Q God, so Zhao Hao was not surprised by his reaction.
"Huh? The first Spanish song you learned wasn't my 'Casa de Gloria'? Why do I remember someone not being like this before, scumbag."
Yu Yu also has a Spanish song under his name, of course, it can also be counted under the name of Query. This song appeared earlier than "Alucinogeno" and the song structure is simpler than it, and it seems more like a casual work of Yu Yu.
For fans of other languages, this song is a relatively easy Spanish song to learn. If Yu Yu remembers correctly, Wang Yuexin imitated a line or two of this song shortly after it was released. Now she has turned her back on it, and it was indeed a mistake.
One pseudonym was vying for favor with another, and I didn't know what kind of brotherly interest this was. Being teased by Yu Yu like this, Wang Yuexin's voice became noticeably softer, but she still said stubbornly, "I only sang a few choruses of your song and didn't learn it completely, so how can it count? That was just the preschool class for school enlightenment. The real learning is still the little psychedelic..."
To be honest, "Little Psychedelic" is quite difficult. Even if a producer from China later bought the copyright of the Ciwen production and released a Ciwen version, it is still very difficult. Wang Yuexin must have loved the original version so much that she was willing to learn it.
"Haohao, you spent the money well this time, you deserve praise. Next time, continue to buy a few more copyrights so that we can sing karaoke in the car." Wang Yuexin praised Zhao Hao a few more words and encouraged him to keep up the good work.
Business matters such as song copyright authorization are usually handled by Oliver's subordinates. Even Oliver didn't know that the Kuaifa director team had bought the copyright, let alone Yu Yu himself. But Yu Yu knew that Query's songs were not cheap, and it was one of the most expensive copyright holders in the world. This showed that they were really getting better this time. Larich gave too much.
I remember that in the first season, most of the songs they played in the car could not be broadcast because they could not afford the copyright, so the footage was cut. I didn’t expect that in the second season extra episode, they could even afford to buy Query’s songs!
"It's a good thing that you three picked this song." Wang Zhengliang sighed with a hint of meaning.
The others also reacted and nodded in agreement, thinking that if the original singer of this song picked it, then there would be no chance of playing this game. But they said that they must not let Yu Yu, a local whose native language is Spanish, pick this song.
"Do you think this is useful? Does the fish only know one language? He knows many languages." Obviously Chen Fusheng was in good shape today, and he even played his own jokes.
Su Xing immediately said, "Yu Shao, continue adding the same recipe you added to the black tea last night to Brother Sheng tonight!"
After a while of noise, everyone started to study their songs. Since the seven of them would inevitably clash with each other if they squeezed into the same space to learn different songs, the three groups of people went directly to three different rooms next door to practice separately.
Zhao Hao also said that if they wanted to use musical instruments to assist in the subsequent sessions, they would be allowed to do so, so they went to the music room to get some musical instruments.
Chen Fusheng and Wang Zhengliang are the guitar + piano group.
Su Xing, Wang Yuexin and Zhang Yuan are the triangle + hand drum + flute group.
Yu Yu and Lu Hu are from the violin + guitar group.
