Chapter 57: Shoulder-to-Shoulder with Zhou Dong, A High-Stakes Gamble

  PS: This is the second update, and there will be another one later. Well, I don't watch TV dramas much, only movies, so I'm afraid of writing something that doesn't make sense, so I'll just use this chapter as a transition. Also, please vote and collect!

  Last time, due to Xiao Shuai's explosive performance on stage, he somehow completed the task of "Chongqing Song Friends Association". In other words, after tonight, he can stop performing in Chongqing and continue on his way, saving at least 3 or 4 days.

  At the same time, since he has completed his task, according to the system's nature, he will also receive a reward. Although someone did not get the "training time" they wanted most, in the end, they still got a new song "Love Only This Time".

  If possible, I just want to love this once

  With all one's might, wholeheartedly

  No reservations at all, I will never let you suffer any injustice.

  ……

  As soon as he got the score of the song "Take", Xiao Ge immediately started humming softly while looking at the score, and his hands were also tapping lightly. Gradually, his face became extremely happy, and finally, he burst out laughing: "This song is really a good song! Absolutely standard love song, far better than 'Gangnam Style'!"

  No kidding, after humming along with the score for just two times, Xiao Suo Ge confidently guaranteed with his professional demeanor: "This song is definitely a classic, even if it's sung by those top-notch singers, they would still use it as their main song."

  "What's this? Keep working hard and you'll be able to write even better works yourself in the future!" The system said calmly.

  "No, brother can't always sing others' works." Xiao Sao Ge nodded confidently: "Look at Zhou Dong and Tao Ze now, they don't ask for help when singing, they write and sing their own songs, and have been called geniuses. Brother will not let them monopolize the spotlight."

  If there's one thing that the system has brought to Xiao Xue's life, it's confidence.

  Think about it, your physical fitness has improved, your memory has gotten better, and even your voice has become a "magic voice". Even the most difficult to change "treasure" - your penis - has grown bigger and longer. What else do you have to be insecure about? Do you still dare to lack confidence?

  "Heh heh, first put it away, when I get to Magic City, I'll definitely release a perfect single CD!" Xiao Sao Ge muttered to himself happily, and quickly got dressed. Hmm, still street goods, the total cost of everything on him was less than 200 yuan.

  Gao Yan hasn't arrived yet, probably still have to wait a while. So Xiaosha opened the TV and took a look, but unfortunately there's nothing good to watch. After all, today is not the weekend, even entertainment variety shows are not that great. The most played on TV are still various talent show previews, such as "Super Girl", "I Am a Singer" and "Absolute Singing".

  These talent shows are really annoying to watch. If it were ordinary people who don't understand the industry, that's fine, just consider them as watching a spectacle. But Xiaosha Ge is now a "professional" person, and when he hears those contestants' singing voices, it's simply a kind of torture!

  Some people are just screaming, some people are showing off their handsomeness, and there are even those who are simply going up to get a free meal, I really don't know why every talent show is so popular.

  As for TV series, he didn't like them even more. With this time, Xiao Sao Ge simply felt that it was better to sleep than to watch TV series. Anyway, he really had no interest in TV series, but movies were a little better.

  "Player, your thoughts are dangerous. Whether you like TV dramas now or not, you must work hard to make yourself like them." The system suddenly jumped out and solemnly reminded: "In the current Huaxia, the popularity of TV drama protagonists may surpass that of some movie protagonists. You will soon enter the film and television industry for development, please pay attention to referencing and learning from others' acting skills."

  "Brother, I really don't like watching TV dramas!" Xiao Sao said with a bitter face, "Since I entered junior high school, I basically haven't watched TV much. Now the number of TV drama actors I know can be counted on one hand, and it's really not interesting at all!"

  No, he had expressed his attitude when he got the system, but it was clear that the system would not cater to him.

  As expected, after hearing someone's plea, the system directly ignored it and continued to advise: "If you can't even act in a TV series, you'll have a hard time getting a chance to shoot a movie. Only when you've honed your acting skills in the TV circle will a film director possibly extend an invitation to you, please understand, player."

  "Didn't Jay Chou also not film any TV dramas and directly filmed movies?" Xiao Shuai Ge argued back with discontent.

  "He is him, you are you, do you have his talent now?" The system seemed to be very angry and directly asked back: "He is the king of Asian pop music, with sales of almost every album exceeding 4 million so far, and his reputation is extremely loud. Can you? The songs he wrote for others are almost a pile of classics, which can easily create several top singers. Can you?"

  Xiao Sa Ge: “………”

  The system still wouldn't let him go, continuing to say: "You now have many abilities that other stars don't possess, but your acting skills are zero. Even playing a corpse, you're not qualified. In this situation, even if you had Jay Chou's fame, you still wouldn't get any opportunities to shoot movies."

  "Alright, alright, stop hitting me!" Xiao Sa Ge couldn't help but admit that he was indeed hit hard. Or rather, he shouldn't have dared to compare himself with Jay Chou so early on. Jay's status in the Chinese music scene is simply invisible "number one". Even if his singing skills are stronger than Jay's, you can't beat Jay's overflowing talent and the songs he writes are just awesome.

  The system didn't "follow up with another blow", after all it's not human and doesn't understand the principle of "kicking a man when he's down". So it shut its mouth very simply.

  After a moment of silence, Xiao Sa's eyes slowly ignited with strong determination. He asked in a low voice: "If my first album can sell more than 3 million copies across Asia, will I have the opportunity to get the songs for my second album and reward myself with free training time?"

  "With a 'ding' sound, the system really started up. It said without any emotion: 'In view of the player's strong fighting spirit and fearlessness towards death, this system will issue a super task for the first time...'"

  Xiao Su's face was as calm as water, but his hands were clenched into fists. The system's so-called "fearlessness" made his heart almost jump out of his chest. He really didn't know what kind of freakishness this super task would bring.

  "From now on, players will receive special training time every day, specifically to strengthen the cultivation of lyrics and song composition skills."

  The system didn't mention the task requirements beforehand, but instead generously provided training time, which made someone's heart skip a beat. Because this means that great trouble is about to come.

  There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

  As expected, just as Xiao Sao was thinking this way, the system finally said: "You must create at least three super golden songs within these six months and record them with the other seven golden songs provided by this system immediately after arriving in Magic City. The latest release for sale is next February, and it must be sold out of 3 million copies worldwide within three months."

  Someone was stunned for a moment, then gently wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Is that it? What about the punishment and reward for failure?"

  "If you fail, you will have to act in 5 TV dramas with a viewing rate of over 3% consecutively, and must be one of the main supporting actors. The system seemed to pause intentionally, so that someone could think through the severity of the problem, then continued: "If the TV drama's viewing rate does not meet the standard, you will continue until the indicator is completed."

  Xiao Sao's face turned green, he thought this was not punishment at all, but a complete disaster.

  You clearly know that I don't like TV dramas, yet you still deliberately and ruthlessly force me to participate in one, how cruel is that?

  "What if it succeeds?" Someone believes that with such "severe" punishment, the reward will definitely not be bad either.

  "It's simple, you'll get 2000 points which is equivalent to a year of free training time." The system said concisely: "If you complete the task, this system will give you the most magical and invincible acting training. After one year of training, you will at least have the acting skills of a first-rate movie star. You can then actively go for auditions to get filming opportunities."

  "Damn it, brother lost the bet!"

  After hearing the content of the reward, Xiao Su suddenly threw away all his worries and concerns, and with a firm and heroic wave of his arm, he roared: "Let those crappy TV dramas go to hell. I'm going to make movies, only the best ones, the highest-grossing movies."
