Chapter 368: Take a Private Plane if You Are in a Hurry
This is the first time for the old guys to play a music game where the tune is reorganized along with the lyrics. However, as professional musicians with the help of musical instruments, it is not as difficult as they imagined to get started.
The brothers always praise Wang Zhengliang and Yu Yu's absolute pitch not as a joke among brothers, but because they can really write a song the moment they hear it.
The next second after Yu Yu returned to the room with the violin in hand, Lu Hu just started to suggest that they repeat the aria when he said a string of mysterious numbers: "..."
Lu Hu was slightly stunned, but his hands automatically played the guitar following the simple music score that Yu Yu called out. He exclaimed "Wow". Yu Yu listened to his guitar melody, nodded, and treated the violin as a ukulele, accompanying him while guiding Lu Hu's guitar to find the correct melody.
"334... Hmm? 5? No, not 5 yet, Brother Tiger, this is not 5 but 4. Hmm, right... continue, eh, that's right, go this way 6565... Okay, let's come back 653..."
"Okay, that's what these two sections are about." Yu Yu put the violin aside. "Next, let's find a pen and paper and write down the corresponding musical notations for the lyrics one by one. We can just memorize them by looking them up."
Lu Hu volunteered to ask the program team for paper and pen, turned on the music player, wrote down the lyrics, and marked them with simple musical notation numbers.
Yu Yu had absolute faith in Lu Hu's musical expertise; he'd already memorized the score after they'd just gone through it. Lu Hu knew Yu Yu wasn't too lazy to do the chore of dictating lyrics and marking the music, so without Yu Yu asking, he quickly wrote the lyrics and music, letting Yu Yu relax on the sofa.
The production team said they would give them five minutes to prepare, but considering they had to dictate the lyrics themselves, they actually stayed in the room for ten minutes before being called out by the staff to gather.
Yu Yu spent the first two minutes rehearsing the melody with Lu Hu, and the remaining eight minutes were spent lazing comfortably. After Lu Hu finished transcribing the song in three minutes, he and Yu Yu also lay down on another sofa.
When the staff came to call them, Lu Hu was trying to teach Yu Yu a yoga move to relax his shoulders and neck.
He exited and re-entered, making sure he was in the right room.
Compared with the Shengliang group, which has a rich and harmonious musical atmosphere, and the Xingyuanhu group, which adds instruments to the music while messing up the situation, the Yuhumoupi group seems to be too health-conscious.
Back in the main living room, the first to come on stage to accept the challenge were Chen Fusheng and Wang Zhengliang. Zhao Hao asked someone to distribute the prepared lyrics in shuffled order to everyone.
The brothers were absolutely confident in the pitch of these two big brothers, and the same was true of their subsequent performance, especially when Chen Fusheng's guitar and Wang Zhengliang's piano were intertwined. The Italian folk song, which was very different from the original song because of the change in the order of each word in the lyrics, also had a bit more lingering charm.
Compared to the graceful performance of the Shengliang group, which had made a strong start, the second trio's tune was noticeably more upbeat and lively. Zhang Yuan wasn't familiar with the flute, but he possessed the same unwavering courage as Yu Haoming on the violin. Even with a leak in the flute, the sound remained in tune.
After the three finished singing, they bowed in unison towards the camera (the camera behind Yu Yu) and quickly apologized to Q God. They actually turned a song from the annual album into a skit, but this cannot be blamed on them. After all, the culprit for the arrangement of the lyrics is the director team. It is recommended that Q God (Yu Yu) go directly to the director team to protect his rights.
Yu Yu, who was hiding behind the Q God pseudonym, would not call the police, but he suspected that the original author would call the police immediately after he and Lu Hu sang the disordered version of "King of the World".
Because compared to the other two songs whose lyrics were in a different order but sounded relatively normal, after this song was disrupted by the director team, Yu Yu looked at the new lyrics and didn't need to sing them. The melody in his mind told him that if he sang it, the best result would be that the kind-hearted weasel passing by the door would report him and Lu Hu for being involved in a cult.
Under normal circumstances, this melody would not be possible to write unless the cerebellum and cerebrum were split apart.
Forget singing, it's even unbelievable that it can be played on a violin. This is because the violin, unlike the guitar, produces a more coherent tone when played with a bow, and the new song's continuous high and low pitch splitting style is not suitable for string instruments like the violin.
However, for Yu Yu, who likes to challenge himself in music, when Lu Hu looked at him with surprise and asked with his eyes whether this thing can really be sung, he nodded and said, if you can play it, you can sing it.
It was also quite difficult for Yu Yu and Lu Hu. These two brothers used their good voices to sing the "ghosts and wolves howling" song. To outsiders, it sounded like they were out of tune, but the reality was that they were in tune.
If Nuwa, who wanted to see what the little man with perfect musical talent that she had created was doing, saw this, she might be so angry that she would throw out a bunch of mud dots and create a bunch of out-of-tune monsters.
The only thing worth being happy about is that all three groups successfully completed the challenge, so everyone can add five points, and after the extra points, Land Rover is still the first in individual points!
"Then can I live in the best room?" Champion Land Rover has already begun to imagine what the most luxurious suite in Esplendore Palace looks like.
"That's right. You can stay in the largest room. As for what that room looks like, we'll reveal it when you arrive." Zhao Hao nodded. "The challenge is over. Congratulations to everyone who has completed the assessment and unlocked our final stop, Esplendore Palace. Grand Duke Alaric has been waiting for you."
"Then he probably has to wait a little longer, because we don't know when the snow will stop." Su Xing pointed outside the window.
A staff member nearby quietly reminded everyone that the snow outside had stopped.
"Huh? Has it stopped? It seems that God is quite sensible and doesn't want to make the Duke wait any longer." Su Xing teased again.
The assessment scenes originally planned for filming in Bullfighting Country were finished early, and the morning's light snow gradually subsided and stopped as they filmed. Everyone went to the window, opened the curtains, and outside, a pristine whiteness, like a thick blanket of snow covering the ground, came into view.
"The snow looks as thick as the one we had in Mohe before, maybe even thicker. I remember the windows here are quite high from the ground."
Chen Fusheng said that the snow is now almost reaching the window sill. If you step on it, you might sink into it.
If they were not in a hurry, it would be fun to roll around in such thick snow. They could stay in the manor for a few more days just for playing in the snow.
Unfortunately, the current snow has hindered the normal filming operations. With such thick snow, God knows how long they will have to wait before they can continue on their way.
Wang Yuexin suggested that the director team ask Butler Carlo if they could contact the local snow shoveling team to help clear the way.
During the previous filming process, Carlo did not stay in the main living room, but the professional qualities of an excellent butler allowed him to observe the movements of the host and guests at any time and provide timely services even if he was not in the host's field of vision. Letting guests go out to find the butler or servants is a serious dereliction of duty for a butler in a noble family, so before the staff left the living room, Carlo appeared at the door with his usual elegance and composure and knocked on the door gently.
He knew what the production team wanted to ask, but he couldn't act like he knew everything that went on in the room—even though that was part of a butler's job—because it would make people feel uneasy and like they were being spied on. So he waited until they asked the question before answering slowly, "Please rest assured, our guests. We have a professional manor maintenance team, and our private snowplow team will take care of the road conditions."
"There's no need to worry too much about delays caused by the snow. His Excellency the Duke is aware of the busy and growing careers of all of you. To avoid impacting your other work after returning home and wasting your personal time, His Excellency the Duke has specifically instructed us to dispatch a private jet to serve you."
"Please take a short rest and enjoy lunch. After the snow at the private airport is cleared, you can board the special plane and fly to Barcelona."
Hiss, a special plane? This kind of treatment?
Even though he had been in contact with Larich for such a long time, Dalin couldn't help rubbing his numb cheeks. It turned out that the luxurious life of these old-fashioned European aristocrats and tycoons was unimaginable for ordinary people like them. Even if they became celebrities and made a lot of money, it was still a few points behind the life of the old rich.
Even if you have the money to buy a mansion, a manor, a luxury car, a private jet, even if you can hire a Filipino maid, compared with the butlers in the old aristocratic families who have been trained with inheritance and background, it is like being hit by a dimensionality reduction attack.
However, after being reborn for so long, what Yu Yu found most difficult to adapt to and get used to were the butlers of the old aristocratic families who had studied the red tape to the extreme and were very careful.
Just like what Zhang Yuan mentioned during lunch, he just went back to his room to use the bathroom, but when he came out, he found a sudden fragrance and three brands of men's perfume on the sink. At that time, he thought to himself, wow, is it necessary for you to go to this extent!
There was clearly no one around before he went in, and no one was around when he came out. If it had happened during the power outage last night, he would have jumped in fright.
What’s more important is that the flavors of those three brands happened to be what he liked, which made the brothers even more terrified when they thought about it.
His words seemed to open a flood of praise for the noble butler, and the others immediately began to talk about how surprised they were by the meticulousness and thoughtfulness of Carlo and the other four. Yu Yu, who was listening on the side, had long since gotten over the period of surprise and awkwardness about these things, and these were just some of the most insignificant details of the noble butler's servants.
After all, there are only five people in August Manor. No matter how carefully they take care of the entire program team, there will always be some omissions. It’s just that they are used to living the lives of ordinary people and don’t care or don’t notice at all that there are any shortcomings.
If this were at the Esplendore Palace, it would be even worse. At August Manor, they lived the life of young masters and young ladies, but at the Esplendore Palace, it was the life of princes and princesses.
After lunch, the snow at the door had been cleared by a snowplow. Carlo and the other four moved the production crew's cars to the door one by one. In order to prevent them from catching a cold due to the large temperature difference from walking from the manor with a fireplace to the snow and ice, they also turned on the heater in the car in advance and waited until the car was warm before letting them get in.
Private jets are not as big as commercial airliners and can only accommodate up to 20 people. Therefore, some staff members had to drive to Barcelona, allowing the artists, directors, producers, cameramen and audio teachers who were in a hurry to fly there first.
Touching the first-class leather seats beneath them, the brothers couldn't help but bow and thank Larich and Alaric for their gift, which allowed them to ride on a private yacht and then on a private jet.
