Chapter 163 Surprise
After watching it, Emma blinked her eyes and asked, "Do you think this is for European and American culture?" Ning Sheng asked awkwardly, "I learned it from movies and guessed it randomly."

However, Emma didn't say anything, but after reading the score, she praised it as a good song!
Teacher Gao Song didn't ask any more questions, but just whispered to himself, "The lyrics are really close to European and American styles!"

Next, first record the song "Baby" for Ning Sheng, while Ding Xuan followed the teacher to recite the lyrics in English before starting to record.

The two songs that Ning Sheng presented this time, "Baby" is a mid-to-fast-paced pop song that incorporates Teenpop, R&B, Dance-pop, Doo-Wop, hip-hop music, and disco strings from the 50s.

The song also borrows from Michael Jackson's musical style, which sounds like a perfect summer single.However, the original singer Justin Bieber's singing talent has not yet fully formed. Although he sings with rhythmic flexibility, his voice is nasal and therefore lacks appeal.

Although Ning Sheng is still young, he has undergone professional vocal training over the years, and his voice is born with a rock sound. There is a hint of hoarseness in the magnetism, and a distant sense of emptiness in the high pitch. The song, while completely different from the original, will only be better!

The classic pop song "Baby", in Ning Sheng's last life on Earth, successfully airborne at No. 5 on the US Billboard Top [-] Singles chart in the first week, and became Justin Bieber's Billboard Top [-]. The best-selling single on the singles chart.

2010年7月，这首歌的MV成为YouTube上点击率最高的音乐录影带。2014年3月5日，歌曲的MV在YouTube上获得了10亿次的观后感。截至2015年4月14日，歌曲MV的点击率已经超过了11.5亿。

According to the US "OK" magazine report, Justin Bieber set a record for the highest music video on-demand on the VEVO video website, and became the first artist whose single MV on-demand rate on the website exceeded 10 billion times.

These are all the materials that Ning Sheng checked when he came out to watch this MV, and this song directly made Justin Bieber a hit and became a big star all over the world!
However, the performance of this song was just like that. Compared with the Usher song "Yeah!" prepared by Ning Cheng for Ding Xuan, although it was more popular, it was not as good in terms of awards.

Usher's "Yeah!" combines an infectious beat, a simple chorus and rap to make one party song.The song has a brilliant beat and smooth melody, and the lyrics are about the ambiguous feelings between men and women, which caters to the needs of mainstream R&B listeners.At the same time, the song elevates the "truancy music" style in the southern United States to a whole new level.

This classic song topped the US Billboard Top 2004 Singles Chart on February 2, 28, and stayed at the top position for twelve consecutive weeks, and won the Billboard 2004 year-end list. In August 2004, Usher won the MTV Music Video Awards for "Best Male Singer Video" and "Best Dance Video" for this song. In February 8, the song won the "Best Rap Collaboration" award at the 2005th Grammy Awards, and was shortlisted for "Annual Production".

If it weren't for Ding Xuan being his good friend and brother, Ning Cheng would really be reluctant to present such a classic work.

Now in another world, it must be a very good thing for these two works originally from different periods to compete on the same stage!
For the whole day, Ning Sheng was very familiar with the song "Baby", so he finished the recording in the afternoon. As for Ding Xuan, he was still being corrected by the teacher for his English pronunciation.

Because there are rap parts in both songs, the fat water does not flow to outsiders, and the company's two rap contracted singers-Chen Dong and Liu Fei are called to help.

The two of them are very excited to be able to cooperate with Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan again, especially the joint works will be tested by European and American audiences as entries.

Compared with Asia, rap is more popular in Europe and the United States, so the two cherish this opportunity very much. They thought that when they first learned rap, they started with European and American works, so their English level is not good, but they are better than Ding Xuan. I quickly became familiar with my own lyrics, and my accent is even better.

When Ning Sheng came over the next day, he directly discussed the shooting plan with President Zheng and Director Hu who was in charge of filming the MV.

Ning Sheng directly copied the story of the original MV. His main energy now is still studying directing courses and MV selection activities. Since the original version is very good, he doesn't bother to waste time. Finish the filming early and end early. He has to concentrate on studying, as well as the script of "I Have a Date with a Zombie 2".

After listening to Ning Sheng's description, Director Hu felt that it was very good, but Mr. Zheng thought about it and said, "Xiao Sheng's song is very good, and the MV shooting can't be wrong. Everything should be done to show the charm of the song, especially to let Europe and America Fans like it, so I think it’s best to use foreigners for the actors in this filming, so that European and American audiences will be more friendly!”

In this regard, Director Hu has a different opinion, "If they are all foreigners, wouldn't it be more strange that Ning Sheng is a Chinese? Or maybe the male lead of the entire MV should be replaced, and Ning Sheng should be replaced by Europeans and Americans?"

"This won't work. We shoot the MV to make European and American audiences like Ning Sheng. If people finish watching it and think that the singer is a foreigner, then what's the matter?"

"How about half foreigners and half Chinese, the hero's friends are all Chinese, and the heroine's friends are all Europeans and Americans?"

"Then take a picture like this first."

"Also, many of the European and American contestants went to Asia to choose locations for the MV. Do we need to go to Europe and the United States to choose locations?"

"It's not necessary, our shots are mainly indoors, so we don't need to go abroad, and I have to go to class, so I don't have time to go abroad."

"Well then, since Ning Sheng is inconvenient, let's shoot in China. The heroine and those foreign actors have to be chosen well. Don't make any crooked ones. Foreigners also like beautiful and handsome guys—"

"Understood, President Zheng, don't worry, I will definitely take a good shot——"

After the discussion was over, Ning Sheng went back to class, and Director Hu went to find the crew and actors needed for the MV.

And Ding Xuan started to record songs in the studio.Now that Ding Xuan already knew the meaning of the lyrics, he called Ning Cheng last night and said that he wanted Ning Cheng to change the lyrics for him. It is suitable, but it will not be good if it is changed.Besides, people in Europe and America are open, so those lyrics are nothing.

In the end, I don’t know if Ding Xuan knew he couldn’t compete, or if he actually liked the lyrics in his heart, but he was embarrassed to say so, so he went to record the song with peace of mind.

Compared to Ning Sheng, Ding Xuan still needs to practice dancing afterward, so his workload is bigger than Ning Sheng's.

But Ning Sheng, who had finished his class, suddenly received a phone call that surprised him.
