“Actually, we all know, we've all heard Liu De Hua's new album last year.”
“The song 'Under Mount Fuji' is in Cantonese, but Cao Zei rewrote the lyrics and sang a Mandarin version.”
“Then, are there Mandarin versions for the other songs?” He Xiong asked Cao Gong next to him.
Cao Gong, who was asked, smiled confidently: “Not all of them have been rewritten in Mandarin.”
“But if you want to rewrite them, you can.” This was still something he could do.
“Actually, we watched the show and learned about your performance of these two songs.”
“So, if we let you sing one of Liu De Hua's new songs on the spot.”
“If you were to remake a Cantonese song into a Mandarin version, could you do it?”
This segment proposed by He Lao Shi is also a kind of promotion for Cao Zei.
It is also to showcase his personal abilities and talents.
“I can challenge it.” Cao Gong smiled and said he could try.
“Should we choose one for you, or do you choose one yourself?”
“You guys choose. I should be able to do it, but I don’t know if everyone will think it sounds good after it's remade into Mandarin. After all, for the same song, the Cantonese version is better than the Mandarin version.”
After listening to Cao Gong’s answer, He Lao Shi turned around with a mischievous smile.
Turning around, He Lao Shi smiled mischievously at Reba: “Reba PD, you choose, okay?”
“Huh?” Dilireba, sitting in her chair, was quite surprised, why would she choose.
“Hehe~” Everyone else understood He Lao Shi’s intentions.
The two of them were so sweet just now, and now they want Cao Gong to improvise a song, so of course Reba should choose which one, so that the ambiguous atmosphere can be further heightened.
“I choose?” Reba stood up and asked Cao Gong if he really wanted her to choose.
“Choose.” Since the host said so, let Reba choose.
Reba thought for a moment and finally said a song: “Then ***”
After Reba chose a song, Cao Gong held the microphone, his lips pursed.
This song is also a song with both Cantonese and Mandarin versions.
Just like 'Under Mount Fuji', they both have Mandarin versions.
Besides the different lyrics, the melody, rhythm, and tone are slightly different.
The tune, in fact, is roughly the same.
“Is it okay?” Reba asked him cautiously, if he could remake it.
“Yes.” This was actually quite simple for him.
As long as it was a song from the album he wrote for Liu De Hua, he could remake it.
He has the ability to do so.
“Do we need to prepare anything? Lyrics sheet and pen, plus instruments?”
He Lao Shi’s question made Cao Gong laugh happily: “If you give me an instrument, I won’t need paper and pen.”
“What instrument?”
“Electronic piano.” This is the most versatile, and Cao Gong is also quite good at it.
Soon, the staff brought the electronic piano up.
After sitting down beside the electronic piano, Cao Gong placed his hands on the keys.
Even Zhang Yi Xing couldn’t help but come over and watch.
He Lao Shi took the microphone and placed it in front of Cao Gong so he could play and sing at the same time.
The prelude of the song 'Cool Love' began, and almost everyone present had heard it.
This is a Cantonese song, how will Cao Gong sing it?
“No matter how you say it, I think it's hypocritical.”
“I've been with you for so long, you say I'm suffering.”
“From the beginning to now, who do you think I am, you fickle butterfly~ ”
When singing this line, Cao Gong looked at Dilireba next to him.
Feeling Cao Gong’s gaze, Reba knew what he meant.
Fickle butterfly? Is he talking about her?
The audience at the scene all saw that these two were flirting again.
Looking at Reba, Cao Gong was still playing and singing seriously: “Last night I got drunk with you, it broke my heart, you actually say I'm not worthy of you~~~~”
These two lines caused the audience to break down in laughter, “Hahahaha~ ”
It felt like Cao Gong was deliberately saying something about Reba,
After Reba was implicitly criticized, she just crossed her arms, bit her lip and laughed angrily.
“Kiss you, kiss you, kiss you, you kiss so realistically~”
“Making me take your hypocrisy, as the most sincere kiss~”
“It's my own fault that I couldn't distinguish, whether you cool love or a deception towards me~”
“I want to ask, ask, ask, how can I get out of this”
“But you say the flowery world, don’t take it seriously~”
“How hurtful, making me fall in love with your heartless lips!!!!!!!!”
Reba listened to this remade song, how could it feel more and more wrong?
Especially at some special lyrics, Cao Gong would deliberately look at her and sing.
This also made Reba laugh angrily and interrupt: “Okay, okay, stop singing, stop singing.”
“If you keep singing, I'm really going to become a bad girl, what do you mean?”
The audience and everyone on stage couldn’t stop laughing.
Reba bit her lip and questioned Cao Gong.
“Huh? I'm just remaking and singing, what's wrong?” Cao Gong, pretending to be innocent, looked like he didn’t know what happened: “Is there something wrong? Or is it not good?”
“Is this a matter of whether it’s good or not?”
“What lyrics did you write? You wrote them, okay, but why did you look at me and sing?”
“Fickle butterfly? You actually say I'm not worthy of you? You say the flowery world, don’t take it seriously?”
“Hahaha~” After Reba repeated these special and interesting lyrics, the laughter on the scene became even louder.
Cao Gong, who was asked, patiently explained.
If he didn’t explain, this older sister wouldn’t let him off.
“It’s not what you think. The song 'Cool Love' is in Cantonese. The meaning of the lyrics is roughly: a couple, the boy loves the girl very much, but the girl just plays around with this relationship, she has never wanted to be serious, but the boy is very hurt. He remembers their every moment together, feeling that he’s been hurt.”
“Then, the Mandarin remake is called 'Kiss Too Realistically'. The meaning of the lyrics is roughly: an innocent boy meets a seductress, and is played by the powerful seductress, but the innocent boy knows he’s being played, but he’s deeply trapped and can't extricate himself.”
Cao Gong’s explanation made Dilireba laugh angrily: “So I’m the seductress?”
“No, no, no.” Cao Gong was scared by Reba's realization. “I didn’t know you when I wrote this song, how long have we known each other, a week?”
The audience at the scene naturally believed that these two had just met on the show.
Reba rolled her eyes: “I feel like you're singing this song to scold me for being a seductress, a woman who plays with emotions.”
“No, no, you’re thinking too much.” After denying it, Cao Gong couldn’t help but laugh himself.
But when he laughed, Reba’s delicate hand hit his ear, and she used a little force.
Seeing these two flirting again, everyone at the scene all cheered.
