42 The tavern is booming!
"Wow, this can trigger a quest, and a hidden one at that?"
"System, open the treasure chest!"
Zheng Ning quickly went back inside, closed the door, rubbed his hands together excitedly, and said to the system.
"Okay, the treasure chest is being opened, please wait."
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, you have acquired advanced composition skills!"
"Huh? Advanced composition skills!"
Zheng Ning touched his nose in surprise.
So this system not only provides songs, but also skills!
However, this composition technique is of little use to me. Doesn't the system send me songs from Earth through missions?
wrong!
Despite thinking this way, Lin quickly realized what was going on!
She portrays herself as a genius, renowned for her talent in composing and writing lyrics.
Before, when I wasn't signed with a company, I could always get away with it by saying it was something I had accumulated over time.
But once you actually join the company and the composition department, you'll be surrounded by professionals.
Imagine having a chat with yourself, sharing some industry news, discussing your experiences in composing, and exchanging ideas. If you can't keep up with a single word, or even understand what the other person is saying at all...
Doesn't this just admit that he's a complete novice at composing?
Moreover, having advanced composition knowledge, I can gain a deeper understanding of the songs provided by the system, allowing me to perform better as a singer!
"This skill came just in time! It's perfect timing!"
Zheng Ning nodded with great satisfaction.
Then he felt a powerful surge of memories and experiences rush into his mind like a sudden awakening.
Zheng Ning felt as if he were a master who had been studying professional composition for over 20 years since childhood. He was now incredibly strong and just wanted to find a piece of paper to turn the inspiration in his heart into a song.
"If I go down there, the company won't be exposed. Who knows, I might actually be able to write something myself, haha."
……
With the release of the promotional video for Shuncheng.
More and more people have heard this song from Chengdu. Not only locals in Shuncheng, but also many people from other cities in Xizhou heard this slightly melancholic yet humanistic folk song for the first time because of this promotional video.
therefore.
Zheng Ning's fame spread even faster, along with his song "Chengdu" and Zhao Gang's small tavern.
Speaking of Zhao Gang...
This kid has been having a blast lately!
I never imagined that all I wanted to do was prove to my dad that I could run a successful business without his help, which is why I opened a bar back in my hometown.
As a result, thanks to the lyrics of the song "Chengdu" and the two-second close-up shot in the city's promotional video, it instantly became a well-known internet celebrity hotspot in Shuncheng!
The song "Chengdu" that Zheng Ning sang on his last night at the bar was also posted online by enthusiastic netizens and has already started to spread like wildfire!
"Shocking! New singer Zheng Ning appeared at the Wuliqiao Bar to perform the city's name song!"
The video already has over 50 likes, and that number keeps growing, seemingly without end.
In the video, the person recording it added narration to Zheng Ning's performance that night.
The performance emphasized the beautiful melody, gentle mood, profound artistic conception, and rich local flavor of the song "Chengdu," and coupled with the cheers and applause of the audience, it transformed the performance of a new singer into the feeling of a superstar holding a concert!
"Hey, I've suddenly become a well-known local pop singer?"
Zheng Ning sat cross-legged on her small bed, watching the video with the most views and likes with great interest.
In the video, a tall boy with a slightly thin and slender build but handsome features is sitting on a high stool on a stage that is about half a person's height, gently playing the guitar and singing a song that is so gentle, ethereal and melodious.
The video also captured the expressions of other audience members, all of whom wore expectant smiles with their mouths slightly open, holding up their phones to film the wonderful performance on stage.
The video's comment section was filled with praise, likes, encouragement, and various compliments. Although some uninformed onlookers didn't know what was going on, enthusiastic locals immediately responded to them.
"Who's this guy? He seems pretty famous, why are so many people taking pictures of him?"
"Yeah, he's just a resident singer. Every bar has him, so why are there so many people here?"
"But listen to these lyrics, they're really well-written! My younger brother is from Shuncheng, and he told me this song has become their class song!"
"I'm a primary school teacher. I've taught this song to all my students, and I even asked them to teach it to their parents!"
"These lyrics are so heartbreaking for single people! I really want to hold someone's hand and walk around the streets of Chengdu, and I also want to sit in a little bar near Wuliqiao!"
"Haha, you up ahead, I'm already at the bar! But let me tell you, don't come here for the next few days. Why? Because it's already packed with people, it's overflowing with people taking photos!"
"Is this guy named Zheng Ning really a professional singer? Is this his hit song?"
"This isn't actually his signature song. His breakthrough hit is a song called 'Rice Fragrance,' which is also incredibly catchy!"
"My cousin's sister-in-law's brother-in-law works at Feiyang Entertainment, and he confirmed to me that the company recently issued an announcement that they have signed Zheng Ning!"
"Could your cousin's third sister-in-law's brother-in-law get me Zheng Ning's autograph? I'll treat you to drinks at a pub, we won't leave until we're drunk!"
……
Seeing the netizens' amused comments, Zheng Ning couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
He could imagine what a lively scene Gangzi's place must be right now.
I watched a few other related videos, all of which were about people who went to the bar to take photos after listening to the song and watching the city's promotional video.
The scene... how should I describe it?
It was truly a scene of deafening gongs and drums, the crackling of firecrackers, the fluttering of red flags, and a sea of people!
He had previously told himself that his 150-person-full-room tavern might be too big, and he was worried that the newly opened place would not do well and would be deserted.
But now?
Haha, I bet they've already crammed in four or five hundred people, right?
I don't know if he can hold on, but he must be making so much money these days that his hands are sore. I bet even the supply of alcohol is running out!
"You're welcome, we're all buddies."
Thinking back to how Gangzi not only provided him with opportunities to sing for money, but also paid him such a high salary, and gave him all the gifts that customers gave him without accepting a single penny...
Zheng Ning just chuckled, her heart filled with warmth.
