Chapter 474 Japanese Album

"You've been away for a month, you didn't write any songs, did you?"

Yan Xiling looked at Su Zhe suspiciously.

Su Zhe looked embarrassed:

"Give me a day!"

He immediately shut himself in and concentrated on recalling the Japanese song in his office.

But he had only heard a few Japanese songs in his previous life, and the ones he was most familiar with were all from the same anime - "Slam Dunk"!

Its opening and ending songs are "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly", "Just Staring at You" and "Until the End of the World" respectively. Su Zhe is familiar with them all and can even hum them.

He shook his head and couldn't help laughing:

"This is the influence of anime... Coach, I want to play basketball!"

But apart from these three songs, he couldn't remember the other theme songs.

Fortunately, he had an extraordinary memory. He slowly searched the corners of his memory for the anime theme songs he had occasionally heard.

"'Incredible Space Demon', the theme song of 'Dragon Ball'; 'Pegasus Fantasy', the theme song of 'Saint Seiya'... No, they are all related to the content of anime and cannot be regarded as independent songs."

"Butter-Fly and Brave-heart, the theme song and evolution song of Digimon, have nothing to do with anime."

Su Zhe listed a bunch of songs from his childhood memories in one breath, but scratched his head and found that many of them were not usable. Moreover, with the childhood filter in place, he could not objectively judge the quality of the songs.

He resisted the urge to turn his Japanese album into an anime OST special, and tried not to think about childhood anime, but songs that have been popular in recent years:

"'Love Cycle'! A hit song for otakus, and also the masterpiece of Mr. Tengger..."

No, it is the representative work of Kana Hanazawa, a famous emoticon master and one of the three giants of smiles in Asia.

Su Zhe scratched his head and crossed it out again. The lyrics were too tsundere. When he, a grown man, sang this song, the effect was just like when Teacher Teng sang the song.

Scary to think about.

The same goes for "Pure Land of Bliss". Su Zhe doesn't plan to be on Sister Lang in the future, so forget it.

On the contrary, Mika Nakashima's "I Once Thought About Ending It All", although a female song, can be sung with great charm by a male cover.

Su Zhe pondered for a while and really liked the despair and hope contained in this song.

Moreover, he has a top-notch vocal appeal, and his musical aesthetics tend to be sentimental, so it would be a pity not to sing this song.

"Let's wait and see. First, choose some songs that are beyond doubt. The results must be good."

Su Zhe thought for a long time and finally thought of a song with terrible results:

"'The Only Flower in the World' is a song by SMAP, the idol group that Takuya Kimura is a member of. I think there is a Chinese version, and the meaning is also good."

The performance of this song is so amazing that it is the best-selling single in Japan's Heisei era (89 to 19), setting a record of 200 consecutive weeks on the Oricon charts and is known as Japan's "second national anthem."

In the questionnaire, Japanese people of all ages between 20 and 70 years old believed that this song best represents the Heisei era, which shows its influence.

Later, after the Great East Japan Earthquake, a Chinese version of the song was released to thank the Chinese people for their donations and to commemorate the friendship between the two countries.

"Fireworks Rising, from the bottom? Or from the side?" is the ending theme song of the animated film "Fireworks Rising, from the bottom? Or from the side?"

This movie is pretty average, with a name longer than the outrageous online article, but the song has long been the second most-played Japanese song on YouTube, second only to "Lemon".

I always feel that the animation is not worthy of this song.

And what a coincidence, this is another song by Kenshi Yonezu. By the way, during his peak period, five of the top ten Japanese songs on YouTube were his.

Since he thought of Kenshi Yonezu, Su Zhe simply wrote a few of his representative works:

"Little Me" "Loser"

"Stop it. If you keep copying, you'll become Jay Chou from Japan. The percentage is too high."

Su Zhe smiled and thought of another song:

"Pretender, a work by the Japanese band Official Higeondism, seems to be the best song of the 21st century as voted by Japanese musicians."

Not only that, this song is also the third most played Japanese song on YouTube, which shows that this song is excellent in terms of both popularity and professional recognition.

"There is also "White Day", the theme song of "Innocence", and the work of the band KingGnu, which are also highly ranked on YouTube and professional websites."

Su Zhe simply calculated -

"I Want to Say I Love You Loudly", "Only Gazing at You", "Until the End of the World", "Butterfly", "Brave Heart", "I Once Thought about Ending It All", "The Only Flower in the World", "Light up the Fireworks", "Little Me", "Loser", "Pretender", and "Daytime".

All 12 songs are complete.

There are childhood memories, online clicks, physical sales, professional reviews, and even the public memories of China and Japan.

Su Zhe was very satisfied and wrote the lyrics and music within one day and gave them to Yan Xiling:

"Let's record a song."

Yan Xiling was stunned:

"Write an album in one day? Is the Deadline so powerful?"

While Su Zhe was recording the song, "National Glory: Japan and South Korea" continued to be recorded.

Japan finally won a few games and saved some face.

However, the ratings of this program in Japan have already hit rock bottom, far inferior to the Chinese and Japanese editions.

At that time, although Su Zhe turned into a winner and kept winning, he always won with his strong strength and never used any tricks. Instead, the Japanese audience kept paying attention to him, wanting to see when he would lose.

Nowadays, Koreans are always cheating, which makes Japanese audiences angry. What’s the point of watching it?

On the contrary, in South Korea, the program's ratings continued to rise, becoming a popular variety show.

Some Korean netizens have already shouted online:

[First kill the Japanese pirates, then kill the shopkeeper! ]

[I can’t wait to watch “National Glory: China and South Korea”! Let the shopkeeper see how powerful our Republic of China is! ]

[Su Zhe, go to hell! Stay away from Lin Shan'er! ]

[The Japanese can't defeat Su Zhe, so let us, the big-name stars, defeat him! ]

He didn't find these insulting remarks about Su Zhe strange.

Not to mention in Japan and South Korea, there is still a group of people in China who continue to smear him. This is normal.

But what he didn't understand was:

What does "Zhanggui" mean? Why do Koreans call others "Zhanggui"?

Su Zhe curiously sent a message to Lin Shan'er, but Lin Shan'er was very angry:

"Oppa, don't pay attention to those boring people! Ahsi, it's so rude, saying such words, it's really embarrassing!"

Su Zhe asked curiously, and Lin Shan'er told Su Zhe that shopkeeper is a derogatory and discriminatory term used by the Koreans to refer to the Chinese.

Su Zhe was stunned:

“Is that word offensive?”

What is aggressive? Let Korean women show you how to be aggressive - by making the OK sign to Korean men.

Compared to this, is calling him shopkeeper an attack? Isn't shopkeeper the same as manager? This should be a compliment, right?

Lin Shan'er couldn't explain the reason. In short, everyone else called him that, and no one had ever explored the specific reason.

Su Zhe searched on the Internet, but some explanations were strange. For example, it was the homonym of "dirty dog", but it was also strange to call it a dirty dog ​​for no reason!

On the other hand, China calls the Japanese pirates because they are short. It is very accurate and hits the pain points directly. This is called attack!

And it’s really infuriating that Americans use Fu Manchu to insult us.

<divclass="contentadv">But the shopkeeper?

Su Zhe scratched his head and did not continue to explore the reason.

Anyway, it is enough that the other party is malicious and discriminatory.

Just like the Japs called us "Zhi N", the etymology of this word is very normal (said to come from Qin-chini-Zhi N, china), but when the Japs shouted it with discrimination, it became a discriminatory word!

(Zhi N is an internationally recognized discriminatory term. At the request of the Allied Forces, the defeated country Japan is not allowed to use this term again. There is an official announcement. Some people confuse right and wrong and think that this term is not discriminatory. It is the self-media that Chinese people are too sensitive. It is recommended to investigate it strictly.)

"It seems I can't let you win." Su Zhe smiled, showing his big white teeth, "I was too embarrassed to be ruthless with you on the other side."

Lin Shaner was very excited:

"No, Oppa, you must show all your strength and don't let these shameless people win!"

Su Zhe realized what it meant to have an elbow turned outward.

Lin Shaner even whispered:

"Oppa, don't worry. I will be a good undercover agent. If they dare to play dirty tricks, I will tell you in advance!"

"..."

Lin Shaner, are you working too hard?

Undercover agents are not even protected by the Geneva Convention!

Su Zhe couldn't help but laugh:

"Okay, by the way, I wrote a Japanese album, help me sing a song, "Fireworks"."

This song is a duet between Kenshi Yonezu and Daoko. Su Zhe simply asked Lin Shan'er to join in and help her become popular again.

It just so happens that she also has fans in Japan, and can help boost Su Zhe's album sales, which is a win-win situation.

But when Lin Shaner heard that Su Zhe had written a Japanese album, she immediately said coquettishly:

"Oppa, your Korean is so good, why don't you write Korean songs? And release a Korean album, I will definitely help you promote it!"

Su Zhe looked helpless.

Most of the Korean songs he remembered were from girl groups.

After all, as a normal man, isn't he listening to Korean songs while watching girl group dance just to see the long legs?

He is a normally developed man, he can't possibly listen to EXO's songs, right?

"Trouble-Maker" is a duet song between a man and a woman, with an alluring dance move. It is a rare song in which a man participates in the Korean songs he has heard.

But he had taken it out a long time ago, and it was his last stock.

and many more!

Su Zhe suddenly remembered a song——

"Spark" by Gao Yaotai!

Thinking of this song, he couldn't help but take the cement and go to the village entrance to gather.

This is the divine song of Shamatte and the exclusive BGM of rural dance battles. Its status is comparable to "The Most Dazzling National Style" in the square dance world.

Forget it, in order to save cement for the country, Su Zhe decided to seal this song deep in his memory and not take it out.

"I don't have any good ideas right now. Writing songs requires inspiration. When I find inspiration, maybe I can write an album in one day?"

Su Zhe just fooled around, but Lin Shan'er believed him.

After all, apart from Su Zhe, other people do need inspiration and accumulation to write songs.

She encouraged Su Zhe:

"I believe in you, Oppa! With your pursuit of quality, you will definitely be able to write the best songs and convince these musicians who have yet to acknowledge your talent!"

Su Zhe really doesn't have that much time to convince everyone, and the South Korean market is not big enough for him to focus on.

On the contrary, they are working hard to expand outward, expand the living space of H-POP and expand its influence, which is quite admirable.

That's why Su Zhe co-produced "My Love from the Star" and used their expanded channels and influence to promote himself.

But he definitely won't release a Korean album, but he can give those girl group songs to Lin Shan'er, so he calmly replied:

"Don't worry, I'll study the long legs first... I mean, the essence of H-POP (Korean pop music)."

The essence is long legs, he is right.

However, Su Zhe gradually discovered the essence of J-POP (Japanese pop music) while recording songs.

sorrow.

He considered all aspects and selected 12 songs, which surprisingly have almost the same emotional color, that is, to find positive power in sorrow.

The world is cruel. You don’t love me, I can’t be the first, I failed, I wanted to die, and I died... But I still love you, still face it positively, and still be the only one.

Whether the music is melodious or passionate, the lyrics are all in this tune.

“Could this be the legendary national character of Eastern Japan—mono no aware?”

Su Zhe did not study it in depth. After recording the song, he asked Lin Shan'er to complete the chorus, and then handed it to Yan Xiling, asking her to contact for publicity and distribution.

Once the album is completely completed, Su Zhe will go to Japan for the third time.

This time, he was not fighting for victory, but for——

conquer!

Let the Japanese fans witness the "musical talent" of the Chinese superstar!

At this time, Su Zhe suddenly came up with the name of the Japanese album - "Conquer (平らげる)".

He thought it was great, but Yan Xiling refused to agree:

"Su Zhe, you're just going to enjoy this great song for yourself and not sell it to the Japanese market?"

This is too arrogant!

Su Zhe was helpless and had to think of a new name, but before that, he had to deal with the issue of "Hanzawa Naoki".

During the month he was traveling, the preparations for the TV series encountered problems.

No TV station is willing to cooperate with Su Zhe!

Although after "Unnatural Death", they still trusted Su Zhe's screenwriting ability and invited Su Zhe many times to continue writing new scripts and collaborate with them on filming.

However, after the broadcast of "National Glory: China-Japan Edition", Japanese audiences became more and more averse to Su Zhe, and they did not dare to go against the will of the people and easily cooperate with Su Zhe.

What if he was killed by Su Zhe's haters, shouting "Heaven punishes the traitor" and using the sacred weapon, Prime Minister Cutter? That would be so unfair!

So they remain on the sidelines, and will only be willing to make a move unless Su Zhe's Japanese album achieves good results and proves that he already has a huge fan base in Japan.

But the TV station was not optimistic about this:

"People hate him so much now that even if he gave his album away for free, no one would want it, let alone buy it."

"Let alone hatred, even if you don't have any feelings for him, can his Japanese album be successful? It's simply a dream. Do you think Japan is a poor music market like China?"

"Huaxia relies entirely on buying our music. Does it have any qualified musicians? Su Zhe will never be successful in the Japanese music market!"

"The success of 'Lemon' cannot be replicated. This song is just riding on the coattails of 'Unnatural Death'."

As the TV station expected, Su Zhe's album hadn't even been released yet, but it had just started to get warmed up, and Twitter exploded:

[I will never buy Su Zhe's Japanese album! ]

[If this crappy album sells 10 copies, there will be no hope for Japan! Everyone should commit seppuku! ]

【Boycott Su Zhe! 】
