Entertainment: Starting with a Song of Rice Fragrance

8. It seems I just witnessed a piece of history?



8. It seems I just witnessed a piece of history?

"Handsome, are you a professional singer? Do you have a manager and are you signed with a record company?"

Little Swallow ignored the silly netizens and instead asked for her own thoughts.

"Um... I'm not a professional, I'm just... haha, I just realized I actually sing pretty well..."

"So my friends, my sister, and I had this idea, and today we thought we'd come out and see if people can accept my voice and the songs I write."

Zheng Ning carefully considered her words before replying somewhat uncertainly.

"WHAT? What did you say? You just realized you actually sing quite well? I don't understand..."

"How about I speak for him? This kid has never been good at dealing with beautiful women."

Zhu Kai pushed Zheng Ning aside, revealing a lewd smile, and chuckled at Xiao Feiyan's phone.

"You probably don't know, but this is this guy's first time performing in public! He ruined his voice with a high fever when he was in second grade, and he hasn't sung much since then, and he even speaks very softly."

"But just two days ago, I don't know what got into him, he tried singing a few lines, and guess what?"

He suddenly discovered that his voice was actually quite nice!

"Because he was brainwashed and taught by his music-loving father since he was a child, and he was also a top student, he casually wrote a song to test the waters and see if he could develop into a singer!"

"My God, you mean... this handsome guy recently discovered he's actually a pretty good singer, so he spent two days writing a song and started performing it for money, and then... it became such a sensation?"

Xiao Feiyan's words completely caused an uproar in the live stream!

"No, let me sort this out... First, his voice was damaged when he was a child, right? Then he didn't sing for more than ten years, right? Then he accidentally sang a couple of songs and discovered that his voice was actually so good, so he casually wrote such an awesome song and prepared to debut as a singer?"

"Holy crap, is this what they call genius? So dazzling, my eyes, my eyes!"

"Are all decisions made by geniuses so hastily?"

"Never mind whether it was rushed or not, the singing was really beautiful!"

"Yes, just tell him whether he sings well or not, that's all!"

"It's so good, so incredibly good! Handsome, you almost made me cry just now. Only a handsome guy like you could write such a beautiful song!"

"Little brother, how much suffering did you go through to write such a sad yet healing song? My heart aches for you! Hugs!"

"I feel like this song is about my present situation. I can't keep being so颓废 and complaining. If I don't work harder, I'll have no choice but to go back and inherit my family's multinational corporation!"

"Damn it... give me something with a really strong piss smell to wake that idiot in front of me up!"

"I'll do it. My urine has been yellow and split lately, let's give him a complete makeover!"

……

Little Swallow had no time to watch the fun her viewers had, but she stared wide-eyed in surprise!

She herself used to study vocal music at a music academy, so she is very familiar with the entertainment industry and knows how difficult it is for a newcomer to enter the industry.

First, you need to get a song that's decent enough.

Before becoming famous, most new singers can only get roles in low-quality songs.

It's either a mindless pop song with "la la la" making up a large portion of the lyrics.

Either it's vulgar and obscene, with lyrics that are vulgar and offensive.

Or, it's just pointless whining, complaining about everything, adding sudden screams and emotional outbursts, and then adding some motivational quotes to make it sound like an inspirational song.

For singers, if they are lucky enough to get a good song and have a little bit of good fortune, they can really defy fate and soar to great heights.

But that's incredibly difficult. You have no connections, you're not rich, and you're arrogant. Who the hell would pay any attention to you?

But I never expected that... this young man in front of me not only has such amazing singing skills, but also has the talent to write his own songs?

And... he just said that he's thinking about trying to break into the music industry.

Someone who had hardly ever sung suddenly discovered at age 20 that he was a great singer, so he casually wrote a wonderful new song and decided to enter the music industry.

Oh my god, you...

This is just like those ridiculous plots in online novels!

But thinking about it is really exciting!

Could it be that I just witnessed... the beginning of a legend?

How incredibly lucky!

Xiao Feiyan felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, and goosebumps instantly appeared on her arms!

……

Finally, this live interview came to an end.

After exchanging contact information, Xiao Feiyan, holding a selfie stick, happily skipped away.

Zheng Ning and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the knowing smiles on each other's faces.

"Come on, count the money!"

At Zheng Ning's shout, the three of them squatted down, gathered around the violin case, and began counting the 10, 8, 50, and 20 yuan bills they had just received.

"Wow, 580 yuan! My goodness! That's three days' wages for Mom!"

Zheng Jingjing held the money in her hands, her eyes practically turning into "$" symbols!

Meanwhile, Zheng Ning smiled happily, savoring the feeling of singing in front of the public.

I have to say, being a celebrity feels really great!

Although he was very nervous and scared, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction he felt when he was in the spotlight was something he was truly captivated by and cherished.

"But there were only about seventy or eighty people watching just now. Even if they all downloaded the song, my reputation points would only be seventy or eighty. When will I ever reach 1 points?"

Just as Zheng Ning was feeling regretful, he suddenly heard a crisp sound in his ear!

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, you have just completed the mission 'Eaglet's First Cry,' earning 1 music downloads and reaching 1 reputation points!"

"The mission reward [Random Treasure Chest] has been sent to the host's personal space."

"The second phase of the mission is now being released. Let's keep up the good work!"

Task: Perform street music again within a week to quickly increase your fame!

Your first step was quick and steady. I hope you will continue your efforts and strive for even higher goals!

Mission Reward: 1 [Random Treasure Chest]!

"what?"

Zheng Ning's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he couldn't believe the system notification he was hearing!

"1 downloads in such a short time? System, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"No mistake, the current real-time download count on Feixing Music website is 10248. You can check it yourself."

The system's voice remained polite and confident, forcing Zheng Ning to believe the data.

"It seems this must be thanks to that streamer from earlier. I heard Jingjing mention before that this streamer has hundreds of thousands of followers! My goodness, fame is truly wonderful!"

Each song download costs 5 yuan. Zheng Ning is a basic registered user and receives the lowest percentage of the revenue, only 1 yuan per song.

But just like that, in just one short morning, 10248 yuan had already been deposited into my account!

This is faster than robbery!

And what kind of reward is there?

Random treasure chest?

It looks like something from a game. What can you get from it?

A surge of curiosity and satisfaction overwhelmed him, leaving him stunned for quite a while!

He immediately came to his senses, so much so that his sister and Kai thought he was shocked by the 500 yuan.

"Come on, let's split the money! Kai, Jingjing, you each take two hundred!"

As he spoke, Zheng Ning divided the money into three portions and stuffed them into the hands of the two men without saying a word.

"No, brother..."

"No, Ningzi..."

The two were taken aback by this turn of events and looked at Zheng Ning in surprise, exclaiming in unison.

"This is your money, why are you sharing it with us?"

It was Kai who spoke on behalf of the two of them.

"Sigh, without your support and encouragement, how could I dare to do such a shameful thing all by myself? Here, take it!"

Before they could refuse, Zheng Ning stuffed the remaining money into his pocket, happily packed his things, and headed home.

……

As soon as he entered the house, he rushed into his bedroom and locked the door from the inside.

"system?"

"Ding! I'm here."

"Open that random treasure chest we just opened!"

"Okay, the treasure chest is being opened, please wait."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the vocal practice aid item: [Sound Field Controller]!"
