Both of them entered the competition and were delighted to receive "Farewell Song"!
"Oh dear, it's already the last day, and Zheng Ning still hasn't finished writing the song..."
Just as Zheng Ning was recording his new song "Dong Feng Po" at the Shuncheng branch.
Wang Yushu, on the other hand, was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
In January, his song didn't even break into the top 1000, only ranking 1258th.
Although it was actually already in the top 5%.
Normally, he would definitely think that such a result is already very good.
However, compared to Zheng Ning, who was also a newcomer...
That's like comparing heaven and earth, an ant to an elephant, it's truly astonishing.
At first, he felt a great sense of superiority because of his status as the third runner-up in the talent show. When he went to Shuncheng to meet Zheng Ning, he even carried a bit of arrogance.
Little did they know that a month later, they would be both the champion and the runner-up.
Moreover, his new song "Seven Mile Fragrance" ranked 91st on the official singer chart in January!
What's even more infuriating, or rather, unbelievable, is that his second song, "Tornado," has just broken into the top 100, ranking 99th!
"Is this guy really that good?"
He rubbed his hands impatiently, his words filled with envy and the anxiety of wanting something he couldn't have.
After all, the company didn't assign him any songs in February.
As a B-level singer, he can probably only get four or five songs a year, just like everyone else. If he does better and the company appreciates him, he might get six or seven songs.
But if someone like Zheng Ning, a freak, releases one every month, or even more than one, then that's truly one in a million—like a scorpion defecating.
"Maybe I should have asked him to write a song sooner... No matter how talented he is, how many songs can he write in a month? I heard he also wrote a theme song for an animated film for Donghai Animation."
"Sigh... if it really doesn't work out, we'll just have to wait until next month."
"Ring ring~"
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
"Hey, Sister Zhao..."
He thought it was Zheng Ning calling, so he excitedly picked up the phone, only to find out it was Zhao Lu calling.
He immediately deflated and said weakly.
"Hey, you're so listless when Sister Zhao can't help you, huh?"
"No, Sister Zhao, I just ran out of songs to sing and lost my fighting spirit..."
"What a spineless guy! Cheer up! I have some good news for you!"
"Good news? What good news?"
Wang Yushu's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat up straight.
"Zheng Ning has written the new song you've been longing for, and he just sent it to me!"
Zhao Lu's voice trembled on the other end of the phone, clearly indicating that she had already heard the song and was quite excited.
"What?"
Wang Yushu jumped up from the sofa and paced quickly around the living room.
"You mean Zheng Ning wrote a song for me at the last minute?"
"Yes, and I've already listened to it using simulated sound effects from computer software. It's indeed very well written and perfect for you!"
"You know what? This song hits really high notes, even reaching a HIGH C, it's perfect for you!"
"I've already sent the lyrics to the company's recording department. Go there quickly and try to finish recording it today, so we can be ready to chart before midnight!"
……
Let's go back to this morning.
At 9:7, Zheng Ning had just woken up.
Yesterday he went back to school and found an old classmate from the Chinese department.
I borrowed many textbooks on literary writing from him and began to study them diligently when I got back.
That's right, he had already started working on the literature category tasks, and he stayed up until 11 or 12 at night, his eyes turning into panda eyes.
"Ding!"
A crisp system notification suddenly sounded in Zheng Ning's mind.
"Congratulations, host! Your song 'Tornado' has entered the top 100 of the new song chart, triggering the second stage reward of the [Emerging Talent] event!"
"As a special reward for the host, a [Random Song Treasure Chest] is hereby awarded. Please check it promptly!"
Still half asleep, Zheng Ning rubbed her eyes for a long time before finally realizing what was happening.
"Tornado has made it into the top 100! My God, is it that amazing?"
Zheng Ning was also unaware that his two songs were being promoted by Wang Yushu's famous writer sister, vigorously promoted by his father's close friend Jiang Zhiping, and also under the high-pressure pressure from Xiao Feiyan's grandfather, Chairman Wang of Feiyang Group...
It rose rapidly, again and again, and again and again.
No, this can't even be described as a surge!
Its launch speed can only be described as that of a multi-stage rocket!
Even the official staff of Feixing Music Network paid close attention to Zheng Ning's performance!
Let's turn our attention back to Zheng Ning.
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the song 'Farewell Song'!"
"Huh? 'Farewell Song'?"
Zheng Ning was slightly taken aback.
"Farewell song, what does that mean...? Is it a song sung when parting?"
"System, play this."
"Okay, host, playback is about to begin."
A slightly melancholic erhu melody reached Zheng Ning's ears.
It was so oppressive and dull that even the piano and violin sounds that came together were drowned out, and even the drumbeats that followed sounded so weak and powerless that they were almost ignored.
"Oh? This time..."
Zheng Ning smacked her lips, then frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.
"It sounds like a lamenting song? And the style sounds quite modern, not like something suitable for a traditional Chinese fantasy drama..."
"Looks like the system isn't all-powerful after all; it doesn't just give me whatever I want..."
He shook his head helplessly, but quickly cheered up again.
It's a song from Earth, given to me by the system. If it's not a masterpiece, the system probably wouldn't bother giving it to me, right? Something is better than nothing.
After the song's intro rises and falls a few times, the sound gradually fades away.
But the melancholy and profound atmosphere it created was firmly etched into Zheng Ning's mind.
"I don't know what kind of song it will be, but in terms of quality, although it's also a lament, the intro alone is much better than those mass-produced songs on our planet..."
Having already developed a certain level of musical literacy, Zheng Ning closed her eyes, listening and silently analyzing the music.
Then a low, deep male voice appeared in his mind.
At first I only believed,
What is great is emotion.
In the end, I was powerless to see clearly.
What's powerful is fate...
"Wow, this male singer's voice sounds...so melodious! It has a mature, weathered quality that makes you think he must have experienced at least 100 heartbreaks to sing such a wistful tune..."
It has to be said that good singers have this kind of charm, which can attract people from the very beginning with their voice and the temperament contained in their songs, and deeply draw them into the atmosphere of the songs.
