The longed-for village system

Chapter 18 Invitation Intent

Chen Qing understood the good intentions of Teacher Huang and Teacher He. Although the system restricted him from leaving the village for the time being, he could still sing a new song.

Taking the guitar from Teacher He, Chen Qing said, "Then I'll sing a song from our Yunnan province! 'Colorful Clouds of Yunnan' is dedicated to our beautiful Yunnan."

The song "Colorful Clouds of the South" is a fusion of various folk music elements. The instruments should actually be mainly folk instruments, but since these instruments are not available now, the guitar has to be used instead.

Yunnan, the land of colorful clouds, is the direction of my heart.

The peacock flies away, leaving behind lingering memories.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain shimmered with silver light
Beautiful Lijiang, People on the Road

The place to return to in Yunnan

Memories drift away with the wind

Songs flowed along Butterfly Spring

My heart is swaying by Lugou Lake
Upon hearing Chen Qing's singing, everyone's first impression was that it was beautiful. Then they realized that Yunnan would have its own provincial anthem in the future, and this song, "Colorful Clouds of Yunnan," deserved it.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Lijiang, Butterfly Spring, and Lugou Lake are arguably the most famous tourist attractions in Yunnan. Surprisingly, this landlord managed to summarize them all in just a few lines of lyrics.

Cow breaking!

Huang Shi also thought the lyrics and melody were very nice, but it always felt a bit strange to listen to them.

"I don't think Xiao Chen's song is played with guitar and sung, right? It sounds a little strange."

He wasn't surprised that Huang Shi could hear the problem. As someone who debuted in a band and is now a film academy teacher, Huang Shi could naturally hear problems that ordinary people couldn't.

"Yes, this song uses traditional Chinese instruments, such as the bawu. Playing it on a guitar would lack a bit of artistic conception."

Chen Qing didn't hide this from him. He even had a plan to collect all the instruments and play them all sometime. He couldn't just leave his instrument encyclopedia skills lying around.

"Really? I was wondering why it felt a bit strange. But the lyrics and melody are great. You could recommend it to Yunnan Province as your provincial anthem."

"Teacher Huang's idea is good. I also think we can give it a try. This song is very appealing and makes people want to travel to these places."

Teacher He nodded in agreement with his friend's suggestion. The quality of this song was definitely good enough to be a provincial capital's theme song, and if it were selected, Chen Qing's name would be established.

"I also think it's a good idea. As a resident of Lijiang, I support this song becoming the anthem of our Yunnan province."

"My great Yunnan is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I never expected that such a talented person could come from a rural area. I also support this song, 'Colorful Clouds of Yunnan,' to become our provincial anthem."

"Let's open the game! If the banker wins, bring on the spicy strips and a dollar! And those of you who want to do a handstand to poop, please begin your performance!" "Go ahead!"

Netizens started flooding the screen with comments again, and many even gave the song large sums of money as virtual gifts. The program team later tallied up the numbers and found that the gifts received in just a few minutes amounted to over a million yuan, and that was after taxes.

The production team never expected this result. It's astonishing that an ordinary person could have such influence, which is even more terrifying than some second-tier celebrities.

Whether it's the show's huge influence or the netizens' immense power, while we're still commenting, Lao Wang has already received a call from the Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture, asking for his opinion on the song.

There was nothing that could be done; no one knew Chen Qing's phone number, but the production team's phone number was relatively easy to find.

Previously, Lao Wang had remained relatively calm when reading netizens' comments, but now, upon receiving a call from the Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture, he was completely dumbfounded. He knew that from this moment on, Chen Qing was about to rise to prominence.

"Did Lao Wang really call from the Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture? Are they really going to include Xiao Chen's songs?"

They weren't really questioning the source of the call—no one would dare impersonate a government agency to deceive people—they were just too shocked to believe that an ordinary person had emerged from their show as a celebrity.

"Shouldn't this be considered a non-celebrity star made famous by our show? Our show is going to be a huge hit!"

Old Wang ignored the discussions among his colleagues, but he heard what his assistant said and immediately made a decision.

"What do you think about inviting Xiao Chen to be a regular guest?"

Upon hearing Lao Wang's suggestion, everyone was taken aback at first, but then they understood what Lao Wang intended: it was a good way to promote and create momentum.

"I have no objection. In fact, it would give me an extra reputation for creating stars, so I think it's worth it."

“I also support it. The provincial anthem of Yunnan originated from one of our program’s hosts. This gimmick is better than spending money to create hype.”

Seeing that the two assistant directors beside him supported his idea, Lao Wang nodded and made the final decision, "Okay, we'll talk to Xiao Chen later. As for the price, it'll be 500 million per season?"

"Isn't that too high? He's just an amateur. Even if his songs are included, it's only the beginning."

"Yes! Zhang Zifeng and Peng Peng only received 800 million. It's too high for an ordinary guest to offer this price. I don't think the station will agree to it."

Old Wang also had plans regarding the two assistant directors' concerns, and said confidently, "Although Xiao Chen is still an amateur, it won't be difficult for him to become famous with his talent, especially since Teacher He and Teacher Huang also want to support him."

"Of course, I won't let us suffer losses. In the future, our program team can use the songs that Xiao Chen creates and sings on our program free of charge. I think the station will agree to that."
