Chapter 31: RAP Music

  "Napa cabbage two blocks for one catty, lowest price in the whole district."

  Still talking and singing at the same time.

  Originally just a few people came over to watch, unexpectedly, after more than ten minutes, it was black and pressing, surrounded by a crowd of people.

  "Come on, come on, I'll buy a catty."

  "Yeah, buying some greens to eat at night is also good."

  "How about you have one too?"

  Watching friends, Zhou Fan sang interestingly. Originally, there was no intention of buying vegetables, but after listening for a while, I also wanted to buy a few catties back. Zhou Fan's parents were naturally delighted, they thought that coming back at noon would not sell much more. Unexpectedly, their own son muttered a few sentences on the side and attracted so many people.

  Before long, a car of vegetables was sold out, and soon it would be all gone.

  "Hey, little brother, what song are you singing? I don't know how to describe it, but it sounds pretty good."

  One of them asked Xiang Wentuo Fang Fan.

  Zhou Fan continued singing and speaking at the same time, "You listen carefully, this song is actually rap."

  Rap

  Rap is a kind of music, referring to rap music.

  Rap music doesn't have too many formats, nor does it have specific lyrics. The singing tone is roughly the same, and the lyrics can be whatever you think of. It's like stand-up comedy, where you say what comes to mind, and sing what comes to mind. This kind of rap actually existed in ancient China, often mentioned in operas. However, if we're talking about modern times, it originated from a group of poor African Americans in the southern United States. It is an important part of black music and the main tone of street culture.

  In the early days of black music, rap gradually took shape. At that time, rap mainly reflected the life of blacks at that time and their expectations for the future. Of course, more often it was a spirit of rebellion, even a spirit of hatred towards the world. Many times, you can see some dirty words, violence, etc. in the lyrics. After all, this is related to the experience of blacks living in the United States at that time.

  Until the development of rap to this day, people inherited the fast-paced rhythm and rhyming lyrics of rap, which is very popular among people. However, in the vegetable market of Tianhua City, there are hardly anyone who knows what "rap" is.

  "Oh."

  Everyone listened while looking at Zhou Fan, from time to time, someone even gave Zhou Fan a thumbs up. They thought that being able to sing was not necessarily very powerful. The key is that Zhou Fan's rap has reached the point of improvising freely and creating freely. For example, his previous answer was exactly the same as using rap. If it were someone else, how could they have reacted so quickly?

  "You sing well, I've listened for over ten minutes, I'll buy this cabbage, consider it as payment."

  At this time, a clear and crisp voice sounded, and a girl picked up a handful of Chinese cabbage and was about to put it on the scale.

  "Yes, it's you."

  This sentence was after you, and finally interrupted Zhou Fan's non-stop rap.

  "Nice to meet you, I'm Zhu Ya Qiong."

  This girl is the same girl who sold a guitar to Zhou Fan last time.

  "My name is Zhou Fan."

  Zhou Fan felt a bit awkward and shook hands with Zhu Ya Qiong.

  "I didn't expect you to rap so well, I thought you were a newcomer at that time."

  Rap is rap music, and rap music is rap. Zhu Ya Qiong is a musician, so she naturally knows that.

  "Just playing around, nothing much."

  "Really?"

  Zhu Yaqiong picked up the vegetables and stared at Zhou Fan with wide eyes.

  "However, in any case, it's great to know you, and if we have time, we can exchange ideas together."

  Zhu Yaqiong spoke straightforwardly, but Zhou Fan wasn't the type of person who liked to show off, and he reluctantly replied, "If I have time, I'll go."

  Then, Zhu Yaqiong smiled lightly and left.

  "Xiao Fan, isn't that girl your classmate?"

  Li Yufen smiled and looked at Zhou Fan, her heart thinking of something unknown.

  "No, I think we've met before."

  That's true.

  However, seeing Zhou Fan's hesitation, Li Yufen didn't ask much.

  "Alright, today's dishes are sold out, let's go home."

  The three of them happily returned home.

  In the evening, Li Yufen also specially prepared a delicious table of food to treat Zhou Fan.

  Until nightfall, Zhou Fan looked at his parents who had already fallen asleep, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  Perhaps this day is the day when Zhou Fan completely integrates into this world.

  Huaxia Music Original Network.

  Huaxia Music Original Network is a music platform launched by Huaxia Music Association, aiming to prosper and promote Huaxia music.

  Zheng Wenhao is the CEO of Huaxia Music Original Network, fully in charge of Huaxia Music Network. Recently, Zheng Wenhao has been feeling a bit depressed. They vaguely discovered that Honghai Records, which has been growing bigger and bigger, wants to leave the Music Association. Moreover, they have also pulled in some other record companies. As a result, recently, there have been fewer and fewer new songs on Huaxia Music Original Network.

  In this case, Zheng Wenhao also reported to the Music Association. However, the Music Association seemed to be unable to do anything about the increasingly large Hengtong Records, and could only urge them to communicate with various record companies to promote more singers and new songs. But promoting a newcomer is not that simple. A record company needs to spend at least a few years cultivating an artist before they can promote them. Originally, they had high expectations for Ye Xuan of Jincheng Records, but it seems that Jincheng Records wants to cultivate Ye Xuan into a legendary diva and is currently training her intensively, not releasing her yet.

  In addition, some of them were taken away by Hon Hai Records, and others gradually lost popularity on Huaxia Music Network, thinking of switching to another platform.

  "Little Sun, how's the Huaxia Music Competition we organized going?"

  Huaxia Music Competition is a music competition organized by Huaxia Music Network, aiming to discover more talented singers.

  "The effect is not very good, the level of music works participating in the competition is relatively low, and it has not made a name for itself."

  "I know. However, Little Sun, you must think of a way for this competition. Now is the crucial moment, if it's messed up..."

  "Director Zheng, I understand. We've already contacted some well-known composers. Although there aren't many stunning works among the singers participating in this season, we must still produce a few hits."

  "Hmm, if you can think of it that way, then I'm at ease."

  Zheng Wenhao nodded slightly and felt a bit relieved.

  "However, Director Zheng, I have a song here and I'd like to enter it into the music competition."

  "What song?"

  "Cannot be helped."

  On the other hand, Xiao Sun, who was in charge of the music competition project, explained to Zheng Wenhao. The song "Yi Bian Shuo" had not been registered for the Huaxia Music Awards, but it had been uploaded online. However, after being uploaded, the song attracted a lot of attention within a short period of time. Although it has not yet caused a strong sensation, we believe that this song "Yi Bian Shuo" has great potential to become a hit. Therefore, we want to stimulate this song again and put it into the Huaxia Music Awards.

  "Oh, I'll listen to this song."

  Zheng Wenhao opened the website, searched for "Qing Fei De Yi", and clicked on the preview.

  I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you, so I don't dare let myself get too close.

  I'm afraid I have nothing to offer you, loving you also requires great courage.

  I'm afraid I might fall in love with you, and maybe one day I won't be able to control my emotions.

  Missing you only hurts myself, loving you is something I had to do.

  A song of reluctant parting, Zheng Wenhao had only listened once and was already moved.

  "A good poem of reluctant love."

  This song is not only well-composed but also has well-written lyrics.

  If it weren't for fate, I wouldn't have fallen in love with you.

  If it weren't for deep feelings, how could I have such courage?

  This is truly a realistic portrayal of young people's views on love.

  This song is absolutely going to be a huge hit!

  They who make music, with just one listen, have a sense of rhythm in their hearts.

  However, Zheng Wenhao was much older after all, "Little Sun, which record company is this song from?"

  "I don't know, it feels like I don't belong to any record company?"

  "What's going on?"

  Zheng Wenhao was somewhat surprised. He had just thought that this was a singer from which record company coming to make a chart.

  "What's going on?"

  "This is the case, this singer named Zhou Yifan has just registered our account and released this new song. From the information above, he doesn't seem to belong to any record company. Moreover, the IP address of registration comes from Tianhua City. In Tianhua City, there aren't many well-known record companies, I think it's a personal release. Director Zheng, listen carefully, at 1 minute and 30 seconds, there is a sound of a stool falling over, feeling like someone accidentally kicked a stool. Also, at 2 minutes and 10 seconds, there is even the sound of sweeping the floor, and also the sound of a car horn."

  Of course, sometimes in some music albums, these sounds are also attached. However, they are all professional music workers. As for whether it was intentionally added or the environment was originally like this, they can still be distinguished clearly. After Xiaosun said that, Zheng Wenhao listened to it again.

  As expected, two obvious sounds appeared, feeling like they were recorded in an ordinary room, absolutely impossible to be in a recording studio. Because in the recording studio, it is impossible for such sounds that appear in real life to occur.

  "It seems that this might actually be an individual's post."

  Zheng Wenhao nodded, "Mm, you contact that friend. If the conditions are right, we can also introduce him to sign with Golden Butterfly Records."

  Tianhua No. 2 Middle School.

  Xiao Fang, hello. I read the email you sent last time. "The world has great heroes" is written too well, and I really don't know where you found such a talented person. Are you sure this was really written by a high school student? If so, I think I'd like to go visit your school. However, recently I've been very busy, like now, I'm having a headache over the new concept essay competition.

  When Fang Ruo Han saw Professor Wang Ming Yang's reply in her email, she was somewhat excited.

  "Professor Wang, I'm certain that this was written by a high school student, and what's more, my own student. And it's not just in writing that this student has exceptional talent, but also in academic research, they have extremely high aptitude."

  Immediately, Fang Ruo Han repeated to Wang Ming Yang the sentence "The people can be made to follow it, but cannot be made to know it" from the Analects of Confucius, which Zhou Fan had cleverly interpreted during class. Unexpectedly, when Fang Ruo Han finished speaking, Wang Ming Yang was even more excited than her, "Genius! Genius! Ruo Han, you must grasp this student, you must. Alright, I'll give you an extra quota for the new concept essay competition, if it's convenient for you, bring that student here, I'm very interested in him."
