Entertainment: Starting with a Song of Rice Fragrance

Where can I find the theme song for the promotional video for 36 cities?

Chenghua has been quite troubled lately.

Firstly, he often failed to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors at work.

Secondly, it was because of his feelings. He didn't expect that the girl he was pursuing had so many suitors, and he, a mere junior staff member, was simply not good enough for her.

"Sigh... For the 120th anniversary of Shuncheng's establishment as a city, such a big commemorative event and promotional video, yet I, a mere clerk, have to choose the theme song for the promotional video..."

Of course, that's not how it works; this is the task of the entire publicity department of Shuncheng City.

But since he was the one who had been with the company the shortest, the other senior colleagues were too lazy to do this thankless task, so they let Xiao Cheng take charge of the initial selection and let them screen and review the applications.

It was lunch break time, and he took out the lunchbox he had brought from home and placed it on the table, but showed no intention of touching it.

The thought of that beautiful figure, now surrounded by other outstanding men, while she stood by helplessly, unable to utter a single word, filled her with inexplicable irritation.

He took out his phone and started scrolling aimlessly.

The first thing to do is to check the goddess's WeChat Moments to see what new things she's been up to lately.

"Let me introduce a great song to everyone. I heard it yesterday at the opening ceremony of Tianxia Mall, and it really touched me!"

The above is a video taken with a mobile phone, and the image quality is not very clear.

A young man dressed in a very neat and tidy manner stood on the stage, carrying a brown folk acoustic guitar on his back, and gently strummed and sang into the microphone.

The quality of the singing wasn't very high, since the person filming was quite far from the stands. From the footage, you can see that there were at least five or six thousand people in the scene.

But none of the five or six thousand people were as noisy and bustling as expected.

Instead, they all watched the performance on stage in complete silence, like well-behaved students in class.

"What brought tears to my eyes wasn't just the alcohol from last night."

What makes me reluctant to leave is not just your gentleness…

The lyrics were fragmented and unclear.

This really worried Xiao Cheng. How could he not know the song his goddess liked?

He quickly paused the video and went to his favorite music streaming website, Feixing Music.

I entered this lyric and then searched for the song.

"What brought tears to my eyes wasn't just last night's wine... Tsk tsk, listen to these lyrics, they're so damn poetic, both elegant and melancholic, yet fresh and understated. No wonder the goddess likes them..."

As he typed on his computer, he shook his head and sighed, "It seems my aesthetic sense still can't keep up with the goddess's pace."

He found the song in no time.

"Chengdu?"

Upon seeing the name, his first reaction was whether he had misread it.

How come an ancient name for Shuncheng appears here?

He rubbed his eyes and looked back at the screen.

"The lyrics are correct, and the search results aren't garbled... Could this song really be called Chengdu?"

With a sense of surprise and curiosity, he clicked on the song.

Sure enough, all the lyrics listed inside were ones he had just heard in the goddess's video.

Even the melody is exactly the same!

"Hey, there really is a song called Chengdu! Who's so talented to turn our city's name into a song?"

His curiosity was completely piqued, and he temporarily forgot about the goddess.

I put on my headphones and clicked the preview button for the song.

……

A few minutes later, Chenghua, slowly waking up from his daze, finally took off his headphones with a strange feeling.

"Wow, this song is pretty good! The comments below say it's a song written entirely by an amateur without any record label or promotion... How is that possible?"

As a seasoned music lover with over 10 years of experience, Xiao Cheng knows how difficult it is to write a song that is not only catchy but also has profound, meaningful, and thought-provoking lyrics.

You'd think that if it were one of those singers who were kept by big companies, he wouldn't be surprised at all if they could write songs like this.

But if a young man in his early twenties who has never received any music education and whose voice was ruined when he was a child could write such a good song, he would find it hard to believe.

But whether he believed it or not, the fact was right there in front of him.

Next to the singer is his record label, Flying Entertainment, one of the three major entertainment giants in Western Continent, known to everyone.

As the comments also mentioned, he had only signed the contract two days ago; they signed him because they were interested in his works "Rice Fragrance" and "Chengdu".

"Hmm? He also has a song called 'Rice Fragrance'?"

Cheng Hua's interest was truly piqued. He quickly clicked on the singer's name and found that there were indeed two songs below, the other of which was called "Rice Fragrance".

So he excitedly clicked to listen to the song.

They were also stunned and speechless a few minutes later.

"A genius! This guy is a genius!"

Now, he was finally impressed by Zheng Ning's talent.

"My goddess did share 'Rice Fragrance' on her WeChat Moments before, so it seems she really likes this singer! I have to learn these two songs quickly, so I'll have a chance to have something in common with her in the future!"

He quickly clicked to buy, downloaded both songs, and then listened attentively, trying to sing along as he listened.

"Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu."

He wouldn't stop until all the lights were turned off...

But as she was singing, she suddenly stopped!

"Wait... what just popped into my head?"

"Hiss... What exactly is that thought? Why can't I remember it even when I try to think about it?"

In that rainy little town,

I have never forgotten you.

"The only thing I can't take with me from Chengdu is you..."

"Hiss! I remember now, this song... this title... these lyrics..."

"Isn't this perfect as the theme song for our city's promotional video?! Our Shuncheng was formerly known as Chengdu, so this singer must have written about our Shuncheng!"

Moreover, the download speed of this song is so fast right now...

He switched to another app to check the song's current download count and ranking.

178958 times! Ranked 49th!

Upload time: 4 days!

In just 4 days, it garnered nearly 17 to 18 downloads!

Is this Zheng Ning even human?!

This shows that this song is very popular among the people of our city!

Isn't what the people welcome exactly what we've been looking for?

Cheng Hua felt a sudden buzzing in his head, and his blood rushed to his head!

"Found it! Found it! This city promotional video has to be 'Chengdu'!"
