Fang Zhao was currently reading a small booklet distributed by the organizers. There were various matters to take note of and arrangements on it. Chu Bo swayed his dazzling golden hair as he walked over.
Nanfeng glanced at Fang Zhao. When he saw Fang Zhao tilt his head slightly, Nanfeng shifted to the side and vacated a seat for Chu Bo.
"Fang Zhao, I have long heard of your name! Zaro saved up a meal and wanted to meet you, but it's a pity you didn't have time. "
"I know you, Chu Bo." Fang Zhao chuckled.
Chu Bo's smile widened when he saw that Fang Zhao didn't seem to have any intention of distancing himself. After sitting down, he started chatting with Fang Zhao and even asked about Planet Bu's certification. Chu Bo had already understood from Zaro that Fang Zhao's certification was real and that he had obtained more than what the officials had released. This greatly piqued Chu Bo's curiosity.
Ten minutes later, Chu Bo put his arm around Fang Zhao's shoulder and chatted as though they were good brothers. His former gravekeeper bodyguard panicked and hurriedly sent a message to Chu Bo's agent.
Chu Bo's agent was also a member of the Chu family. However, he had gone to discuss a collaboration today and wasn't here.
Because the occasion wasn't right, Chu Bo didn't ask Fang Zhao about his military service on planet Baiji. However, he had heard some things from other people. Coupled with the information he had just obtained from his conversation with Fang Zhao, he knew that 99% of Fang Zhao's military merits during his military service back then were real. There was the factor of ore and also the factor of fighting terrorists.
Chu Bo admired people like Fang Zhao. Fang Zhao didn't have the ability to act on his own and knew his own limitations. He could only rely on his mouth to defeat terrorists and had even been warned by his family.
After all, this was the Star Cup victory ceremony venue and there were other people nearby. Chu Bo didn't ask too much about military matters. After chatting for a while, he noticed that Fang Zhao didn't seem impatient and didn't intend to leave. "What do you intend to do for the Star Cup victory ceremony tomorrow?"
"Play a song for them on the spot. Guitar or piano," Fang Zhao replied.
Chu Bo's heart stirred when he heard Fang Zhao say this. "Why don't we collaborate?" He had said this to probe and observe Fang Zhao's expression.
"How do we collaborate?" Fang Zhao asked.
"Pick a piece of yours. You can play it and I will sing it. You don't have to worry. I can sing it." Chu Bo wasn't bragging. He was an expert at improvisation.
Fang Zhao considered it for a while. Just as Chu Bo thought that Fang Zhao would reject, Fang Zhao said, "Pick your song."
Chu Bo stared blankly for a moment before a wide smile appeared on his face once again. His previous smile could only be considered enthusiastic, but now it was more sincere.
"Then let's sing together!" Chu Bo said.
"There's no need. You sing, I'll accompany." Fang Zhao had seen Chu Bo's concert and knew that he wasn't used to Chu Bo's style.
"This, this …" Chu Bo rubbed his hands excitedly. "Shall we discuss this properly after the meeting?"
"Sure."
"Sigh! It's a deal! "
Chu Bo returned to his seat after seeing that the organizers had all arrived. However, he didn't really listen to the organizers' formulaic language. It was the same every time, and he knew what they were going to say even without listening. His mind was completely occupied by the collaboration. He was going to perform with Fang Zhao on the same stage tomorrow. Just thinking about it made him excited.
Chu Bo rarely performed with others on the same stage. Not to mention concerts, he couldn't even chat with other special guests when he was invited to participate in programs. He didn't have many good friends. It was reasonable to say that members of great generals' families didn't lack people trying to curry favor with them. For example, Zaro and Woo Tianhao always had all sorts of people by their side. However, Chu Bo was different. Many people were afraid of being implicated because of that mouth of his. Furthermore, when news of his assassination attempt spread, there were even fewer people who got close to him.
Zaro and the others didn't mind, but others might not.
Thus, when Chu Bo had mentioned "collaboration," he had been trying to sound out Fang Zhao. He was worried that Fang Zhao didn't understand the situation or that he had misunderstood. However, now it seemed that Fang Zhao wasn't someone who was afraid of trouble.
Chu Bo was happy to have made another friend, and one that he thought highly of!
After the organizers' meeting ended, Chu Bo dragged Fang Zhao to his resting place. He had a residence in Huangcheng that had been remodeled into a studio and recording studio.
Chu Bo picked out ten or so songs that he was satisfied with. Fang Zhao picked out another three. "These three songs are fine. They are suitable for Star Cup's stage."
"Then which song will we be singing?" Chu Bo asked.
"The organizers have given us a slightly longer performance time. We can perform all three songs together."
"Skewers!" Chu Bo understood Fang Zhao's intentions. "That's a good idea! However, we have to make some changes. "
Both of them were professionals. Fang Zhao's composing and arranging abilities were strong, and Chu Bo wasn't weak either. Making changes wasn't difficult.
As they had to discuss the matter of performing on the same stage, Chu Bo let Fang Zhao and his bodyguards rest here.
"Boss, why don't I go back and take a look? Curly Hair is still at home. "Nanfeng was worried about Curly Hair, who had been left behind in HuangArt's advanced student dormitory.
"No need. There is an automatic feeding machine."
Although this was what he said, Fang Zhao still sent a voice message to the dormitory. He only needed to let Curly Hair know why he wasn't back. There was no need to send someone back. Curly Hair would surely be gaming all night.
Early the next morning, Chu Bo's agent came over.
"This is my agent and also my eldest nephew, Chu Yang." Chu Bo introduced him to Fang Zhao.
Chu Yang was slightly older than Chu Bo and was also a member of the Chu family. It was just that his seniority was lower than Chu Bo's, so Chu Bo always addressed him as "eldest nephew."
Chu Yang seemed more composed. After greeting Fang Zhao and the others, he took a look at the song that Chu Bo and Fang Zhao had collaborated on. His eyes flashed with satisfaction. It should be fine if they followed this. It wouldn't be easy to let loose when singing.
There was no choice. He was worried. As Chu Bo's agent, Chu Yang was afraid that Chu Bo would be too unrestrained on a stage like Star Cup and cause his future arrangements to be unable to be carried out.
Fang Zhao even saw Zaro on his way to the Star Cup victory ceremony venue.
Zaro wouldn't pass up an opportunity to join in on the fun at such an occasion. He hadn't been invited, but he had found the organizers to donate a laboratory and obtained a spot.
It wasn't time yet, so Zaro was chatting with Chu Bo and Fang Zhao in the lounge.
"Bobo, I listened to those songs you recommended. They are quite good. I have also heard of them before. Our continent has someone called Aleks. His style is similar to yours. "
Chu Bo looked as though he had suffered a huge blow. "Our styles are obviously different! Aleks mainly sings neo metal. Although I also sing neo metal, my style is more diverse. Furthermore, Aleks' songs are more violent and extreme … "
Chu Bo rambled on and on about the differences between himself and Aleks, from the style of music to the lyrics to the core of the songs. When he was done, Zaro still had a silly look on his face.
Chu Bo took a deep breath and thought for a bit. "To put it simply, we are both dissing people. My song is' Come on! Come at me if you have the guts! Let's fight head on! ' As for Aleks, his song is' Let's go to hell together! Oh yeah! '"
Zaro clapped his hands. "Got it!"
Fang Zhao smiled as he watched them from the side.
Fang Zhao also knew about the Leizhou singer Alex that Zaro was talking about. They both sang metal and both had a violent element to their songs. Chu Bo's style was violent in correction, while Alex's style was violent in destruction. The core of the song was different, but for people who didn't like to delve too deeply into it, especially people like Zaro who weren't interested in it, there wasn't much of a difference.
As they were chatting, Chu Yang came in. As Chu Bo's agent, he was even more anxious than Chu Bo.
Glancing at the other people in the lounge, Chu Yang raised a finger at Chu Bo, indicating that he should go to a separate room to talk.
"You guys chat first. My nephew is looking for me." Chu Bo got up and left.
Seeing Chu Bo leave, Zaro tiptoed to the side of the separate room and pressed his ear against it to eavesdrop. He even waved at Fang Zhao and said, "Come over and listen together!"
Fang Zhao smiled and shook his head. He didn't need to.
Inside the separate room.
Chu Yang told Chu Bo about the results of his travels over the past few days.
Because Chu Bo liked to spout vulgarities after he got high, his concerts had been banned by the various continents' cultural bureaus.
Nine out of the twelve continents had refused to allow Chu Bo to hold live concerts. He couldn't control his mouth and wouldn't give him any face.
However, if he wanted to raise his popularity and expand his global fame, he still had to think of ways to hold concerts. This sort of fame was like grinding experience and honing one's qualifications in the music industry. Being popular online didn't count for much. So what if he was popular among secondary school students? Wouldn't he still be laughed at in secret by many of his peers? Just like how Fang Zhao needed to use concerts to prove himself, Chu Bo had to hold live concerts no matter what.
Chu Yang had already negotiated with partners. As long as Chu Bo performed well at the Star Cup victory ceremony, they would bend the rules a little.
"Mmhm, I understand." Chu Bo nodded his head, indicating that he understood. Following that, he excitedly said, "This time, I will be collaborating with Fang Zhao. I will pick three of my favorite songs and skewer them! We rehearsed yesterday and the results are really great! That Fang Zhao guy really has some ability. No wonder he was able to get into the legendary god-level advanced course … "
"Chu Bo!"
"What's up? I haven't finished talking yet. "
"Do you still remember what I said?"
"What did you say … Oh! Watch your mouth! Watch your mouth! Watch your mouth! I remember! "Chu Bo repeatedly guaranteed.
Chu Yang patted Chu Bo's shoulders heavily and stared straight into his eyes. He revealed an encouraging smile and said unhurriedly, "I don't care what you are going to do. Perform well. If you don't learn your lesson this time, when the victory ceremony is over …"
"… Nephew Gu?"
"I will turn you into barbecued pork."
Chu Bo: "…"
Under Chu Yang's pressuring gaze, Chu Bo solemnly said, "Don't worry, Nephew Gu!"
Speaking in a Trite Tone
