Shocking! I only discovered I had a heavenly voice at 23!
This time, Zheng Ning finally experienced the joy of being a celebrity.
Although he is not a formal singer or a celebrity yet.
But after all, he had already become somewhat famous in Shuncheng because of that busking video.
Then the people in the mall threw him out and begged him to sing "Rice Fragrance" a cappella for everyone, which earned him a standing ovation.
More people filmed the video and uploaded it online, starting a new wave of viral spread.
……
"Hey, isn't this infuriating? I just got back from Shuncheng, and there are already videos of him online again..."
After working through the night, Zhao Lu arrived at work early in the morning with dark circles under her eyes. Looking at the video in her hand, she couldn't help but sigh and feel annoyed.
I wish I had stayed there a couple more days; the shopping mall was conveniently located very close to my hotel.
Never mind, I'll wait until next time. I'll go when I have some free time and ask around among the locals; maybe they'll know him.
"I never imagined that this new song, written by an amateur, would already be ranked 13th on the newcomer chart!"
"Little Tree, you'd better work harder, or you'll be outdone by a complete novice!"
She rubbed her forehead, picked up the coffee her assistant had prepared, and started eating breakfast with a donut.
At the same time, he started scrolling through his phone, wanting to see if there was any latest entertainment news.
As she was swiping, her eyes suddenly widened!
"Shocking! A man only discovered he had a heavenly voice at the age of 23!"
"Discovering you have a heavenly voice at 23? No way, is that even possible?"
Zhao Lu's attention was completely drawn to it, and she even forgot to eat her coffee and donuts.
Those who work as agents know the importance of age for an artist, especially a singer.
Which popular star didn't show amazing singing talent from a young age?
He was praised for his singing from a young age. People in his class, school, neighborhood, and even society praised him, which fostered his strong self-confidence and interest, enabling him to continue moving towards becoming a singer.
Just like no girl is beautiful without realizing it.
There won't be any good singers who don't know they've had a good voice since childhood.
Not to mention the sensational claim of "heavenly sound".
Which heavenly voice doesn't know they sing well from a young age? Why wait until they're twenty-three to discover it?
She pushed her coffee cup aside, gripped her phone tightly, and stared intently at it.
This is an article by the famous music critic Xu Shu.
Speaking of which, Uncle Xu was Wang Yushu's old classmate, and the two have always had a good relationship.
Her gaze lingered on the sensational headline for a few more seconds before she continued reading.
"It is common knowledge that a person should know from a young age whether they sing well or not."
"First, I was praised by my parents, then by my grandparents, and then by the aunties and grandmas in the neighborhood. Then, at school, my classmates praised me for my singing. Then the teacher found out and asked me to perform in class."
"After gaining fame in class, they will also steal the spotlight at school parties and festival performances."
"Then he will be given a chance to shine in inter-school sports meets or other inter-school exchanges, so that more people will know that there is a little genius here who sings very well."
"Then from elementary school to middle school to high school, more and more people learned about his fame, until he reached the stage of university, where people from all over the country gathered, and the best platform to show his talent and spread his fame to society."
"As we all know, many of our new singers are scouted by talent agents from major entertainment companies. They are discovered in college and then taken to record companies for formal vocal training, physical shaping, media packaging, and song purchases to match and package them."
"After that, we will release a new single for him to chart and help him debut."
"But this is just the trajectory of an ordinary person's star."
"The protagonist we're going to talk about today is an unconventional 'oddball' who's completely different from everyone else!"
"He did have a beautiful singing voice since he was a child, but when he was in the second grade of elementary school, he had a severe cold and developed a fever of over 39 degrees Celsius."
"Although the cold got better quickly, the high fever damaged his throat."
"After that, let alone singing loudly, even speaking a little loudly would cause his throat to feel like it was on fire."
"His family was very worried about this, so they kept telling him to speak softly and not to shout or yell, let alone sing, so that he could protect his voice."
"And so, he, who should have shown his talent from a young age, shone brightly and became a rising star discovered by a record company, was forced to live an unknown life from elementary school to junior high school to high school, all the way to university graduation."
"But as the saying goes, Heaven helps those who help themselves, and gold will eventually shine."
"Finally, one day, this person's talent suddenly and unintentionally came to light."
"Just a few days ago, perhaps because he had been silent for many years and unable to express his love for music, he finally couldn't suppress his restless soul and wrote a short song that could express his feelings."
"This song is refreshing and refined, gentle and natural. It is free from the mundane troubles of the world today, and it lacks the superficiality, exaggeration, and sensationalism of current popular songs."
"It simply and easily expresses the nostalgia for the hometown of childhood, the memory of the folk songs, the beautiful longing for the fireflies dancing in the forest, the visual memory of the golden rice fields, and the beautiful recollection of the rich fragrance of rice that drifts into view along the country river..."
"He also advised people to be more open-minded, not to complain too much, to be content, and to keep moving forward bravely after falling down..."
"To be honest, when I first heard this song, which was so simple that it was accompanied only by an acoustic guitar, my first reaction was to dismiss it."
"I thought this was just another self-proclaimed genius, aspiring internet celebrity who wanted to make a name for himself and become an overnight sensation, posting attention-grabbing videos online to attract people's attention."
"But when I listened patiently after being persuaded by a friend..."
"I was finally shocked to realize that I almost missed such an amazing song!"
"That's right, the song is 'Rice Fragrance.' Perhaps many of you have already seen the videos of this guy named Zheng Ning busking online these days."
"Like all the listeners who have heard this song, I was deeply impressed by the clarity, purity, gentleness, and healing power of his voice, and I was so immersed in this warm and encouraging atmosphere that I couldn't pull myself out."
"Perhaps even God couldn't bear to see this talented young man continue to bury his talent."
"And so, at the age of 23, the window that was meant for him was finally opened again, and his long-lost, unparalleled voice was returned to him!"
"It even opened a brand new door for him—granting him unparalleled musicality and creative ability, enabling him to write this amazing song that has already surged to number 13 on the Feixing Music Network's newcomer chart!"
"That's right, you read that number correctly, 13th place!"
"You should know that this Newcomer Champion List is a major annual project of the Feixing Group, encompassing all the young men and women in the entire Western Continent who dream of becoming stars."
"If we scroll to the very bottom of this leaderboard, we'll see that 53758 contestants have already uploaded their new songs!"
"And Zheng Ning, who had been feeling ashamed for so long and finally rediscovered his heavenly voice, actually surpassed more than 5 talented amateur singers to break into the top 15 with his casually composed song 'Rice Fragrance'!"
"He even surpassed many already famous singers who were touted by major entertainment companies as the pillars of the next year. What an astonishing feat!"
"So today I strongly urge everyone to go and see it, to listen to this talent that has been suppressed for more than 20 years, and the heavenly voice that suddenly bursts forth with his masterpiece song, 'Rice Fragrance.' I guarantee that this song will not disappoint anyone."
"On the contrary, it will bring you a beautiful memory of your hometown that you have long forgotten."
